Deep in the hinterland of Luliang Mountain, surrounded by mountains and rolling. Although it is incomparable to fortresses such as Yanmen Pass Weize Pass, it is still a dangerous place to be successful and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Luliang Mountains themselves are not tall and steep mountains. Even Bingzhou cannot be compared with the Taihang Mountains to the east. However, the mountains and mountains are connected, the Liangmao intersect, and the roads are tortuous and difficult to walk. Although the canyons and ravines are crisscrossed, there are actually not many wider roads that can be used by cavalrymen.

From Lishi to Jinyang, under normal circumstances, you need to walk on the official road, so you have to make a big circle and conquer many cities along the way. Wang Ji concluded that Liu Yuan would not choose to walk on the official road, so Loufan's road almost became Liu Yuan's best choice.

After Wang Ji led his troops into Loufan, he advanced along the Fen River Valley and stationed his troops at the bottom of Fengling, which was the most dangerous terrain. Wang Ji ordered the army to stop and lurk into the position, and set up a net to wait, ready to fight the ambush of the Huns.

Most of the Huns' army were cavalry, while the soldiers led by Wang Ji were all infantry. Not to mention the number of troops, just comparison of such troops, if it was in a plain, Wang Ji's men would only be crushed by the Huns.

Therefore, Wang Ji could only play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and chose to set up ambush in places with dangerous terrain and unfavorable cavalry operations, and prepare more crossbowmen to give the Huns a head-on attack.

Liu Yuan set out from Li Shi and walked very quickly because he knew very well that once Cao Liang knew that the war broke out in Bingzhou, he would definitely send troops back to the rescue as soon as possible. Now the main force of the Bingzhou army is thousands of miles away, so it will definitely take some time to return to the rescue, so he must seize the empty time in Bingzhou, conquer the city and plunder the land, and take down Jinyang first.

Taking Jinyang means that he can take the initiative in the entire battle situation. Even if Cao Liang personally leads his troops back to the rescue, it will be difficult for him to do anything. It would be better if he could catch Cao Liang's family as hostage. With such chips in his hand, it would be difficult for Cao Liang to submit.

Therefore, Liu Yuan's actions must be fast. Once the grinding and dragging, before he could capture Jinyang, Cao Liang's reinforcements rushed back. The Huns were trapped under Jinyang City and advanced and retreated. The battle situation was out of Liu Yuan's control.

However, just hitting Li Shi delayed Liu Yuan for three or four days. Li Shi was a city that the Huns had to take on the way to march. There was no room for negotiation. Liu Yuan thought that as soon as the army arrived, Li Shi's defenders would flee. He could take Li Shi without any effort, but he did not expect that these two thousand people would be destined to die. He had to spend a lot of effort to break through the city.

Although Li Shi took it down, the wasted time could not be restored. In anger, Liu Yuan ordered the city to be massacred, and then left thousands of people to defend the city. He was responsible for cleaning up the corpses. Although it was October and the weather became cold, if the corpses were not cleared in time, these corpses would also rot, and then the stench was stinking and the disease was rampant, which would be even more troublesome.

Of course, Liu Yuan only needs to send a leader to deal with this small matter. His top priority is to attack Jinyang. Only by taking down Jinyang is the most important part of changing the situation in Bingzhou.

Before Cao Liang's main force returned to Bingzhou, Liu Yuan was still disdainful of the defense of the Bingzhou army. After all, a huge Bingzhou had only a few tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding, and was also a county and state soldier with weak combat power. After being equipped with new weapons and armor, Liu Yuan's self-confidence also expanded. He believed that with the 100,000 iron cavalry in his hands, he could sweep the entire Bingzhou. In his eyes, Jinyang was just a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Liu Yuan believed that as long as his troops arrived at the city of Jinyang and took Jinyang, it would be just a fetch.

From Lishi to Jinyang, it was only more than 300 miles away. At the speed of the Xiongnu cavalry, Liu Yuan appointed his confidant general Wu Hanxie as the vanguard in front, leading 10,000 cavalry and heading straight to Jinyang.

If you want to take Jinyang, you must first get Loufan. However, in Liu Yuan's eyes, Loufan is just a small city, the remnant city of the Loufan Kingdom established by the Hu people in the past. Loufan Kingdom has been destroyed for many years, and the ancient city of Loufan has long been abandoned. Even if a small number of troops are stationed, it will not have any impact on the Hun army. Therefore, passing through Loufan should be a very quick thing.

This is not that Liu Yuan is careless, but that the remaining troops of the Bingzhou Army are simply impossible to pose a threat to the Hun army. The current Hun army has the ability to gallop across the land of Bingzhou. Any army that wants to block is just a mantis arm to block the chariot.

Wu Hanxie was the first general under Liu Yuan. He was ordered to protect Liu Yuan across the Yellow River and fled to Shuofang. During the more than ten years of assisting the young master Liu Yuan, Wu Hanxie was a military achievement and made great contributions to Liu Yuan's unification of Shuofang. Now that he is conquering Bingzhou, Wu Hanxie is still the unanimous pioneer.

He killed the most people in Shuofang, claiming to be the king of murder. A few days ago, when Li Shi slaughtered the city, he personally killed hundreds of people. Wu Hanxie proudly claimed that after he entered Jinyang, he would be a slaughter of ten thousand people. Li Shi's people were not enough for him to kill them.

The killing made these Huns extremely excited, not to mention that Liu Yuan also issued an order to capture Jinyang City, and after breaking through Jinyang City, they would be allowed to pick everything in Jinyang City, whether it was money or women, whoever grabbed it would be his.

The wealth of Jinyang is famous far and wide. As early as when the Huns were far away from Bingzhou, they had been coveting Jinyang City for a long time. However, at that time, they were not able to win Jinyang, and they were even under the jurisdiction of the Huns Central Army sent by the court in the future.

Now they have the opportunity to kill to Jinyang City and rob, so how can they not be excited by these Huns? Unconsciously, his journey has accelerated a little, and he wished he could fly to Jinyang immediately.

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. The Huns who seemed to smell the fishy smell were screaming and galloping desperately. You must know that Liu Yuan's order was first come first served. Whoever entered Jinyang first is qualified to seize precious property, beautiful women, strong slaves, and who would be willing to give up such priority?

But just as they arrived at the bottom of the bee peak, suddenly there were sounds of killing on the cliffs on both sides, and countless arrows shot towards the bottom of the mountain like a sudden rain. The Huns were unprepared and were shot overturned, and they were immediately in chaos.
