Deng Ai took the order, regrouped the Yueqi camp, and marched all the way north to Pingyang.

The Vietnam Cavalry Battalion still maintained its original speed, maintaining a distance of three to five miles from the three infantry battalions of the Chinese Army behind it, so that the entire team would not be out of touch because the Vietnam Cavalry Battalion was moving too fast.

But Liu Yue was running away at this moment, running back to the Xiongnu camp outside Pingyang City without stopping.

When Liu Yue led his army south to block the Wei army's reinforcements, the Huns' attack on Pingyang City did not stop. They continued to launch a strong attack on Pingyang City. The situation of the Pingyang defenders was extremely critical.

If it weren't for the fact that the Huns lacked experience in siege and had a single means of siege, it would have been almost impossible for the Pingyang defenders to defend Pingyang City.

However, despite this, the Pingyang defenders who fought continuously could not help but suffer casualties, and all the soldiers were extremely exhausted, and they were at the end of their strength. If the people in the city were not afraid of the Huns massacre and came to support them, Captain Lin's command alone would have been impossible.

It is unsustainable to lead the troops of Hedong County.

The Huns who stayed behind in the Pingyang Camp were extremely surprised to see their generals leaving and returning so quickly. Regardless of whether they won or lost the battle, the battle was fought too fast. It was so fast that it was incredible.

However, looking at Liu Yue's embarrassed appearance and the chaotic Huns soldiers, everyone concluded that Liu Yue had suffered a defeat and returned.

Being defeated so quickly, everyone was puzzled. Could it be that Liu Yue kicked the iron plate this time? How could he be defeated so cleanly?

But the Xiongnu generals were silent in unison. They all knew that Liu Yue had a bad temper. He would get angry at trivial matters, whip his subordinates and even kill people. So when they saw Liu Yue in a bad mood, naturally none of them dared to speak.

.

Liu Yue was very angry at this time. This defeat made him extremely depressed.

At this time, Liu Yue had defeated the Wei army many times since he raised troops from Puzi, and successfully drove the Wei army out of the Huns' base in the south.

The successive victories made Liu Yue proud and full of ambition. This time, the rebellion of other Xiongnu tribes in Bingzhou was extremely powerful, and many cities had been conquered one after another. This also made many Huns seem to see the possibility of rebuilding the Xiongnu Empire.

hope.

The Xiongnu uprising in the south came relatively late. When the Xiongnu tribes in Bingzhou had already captured the city, Liu Yue made up his mind to rebel.

But although Liu Yue started late, it developed very quickly. After all, the southern Huns were in Hedong County. Relatively speaking, the soldiers in Hedong County were slightly weaker and were no match for Liu Yue. In just one month, Liu Yue

They successively captured the two county towns of Puzi and Beiqu, and implemented a siege on Pingyang, an important town in Hedong.

If Pingyang can be captured, the entire situation will change drastically. Liu Yue even has the idea of ​​continuing south, attacking Anyi, and taking the entire Hedong County into his pocket. Liu Yue can wake up from such a dream with a smile on his face.

However, this failure to block the reinforcements of the Wei army was like a blow to Liu Yue. He is still confused as to what went wrong. How could the previously invincible Huns cavalry be so fragile this time?

The biggest consequence of this failure is that Pingyang City cannot stay any longer. After the Wei army's reinforcements won this victory, they will definitely take advantage of the victory and attack Pingyang. If the defenders inside the city and the reinforcements outside the city are allowed to cooperate inside and outside, I am afraid that

Liu Yue will lose even more miserably.

The only solution now is to withdraw the troops and return to their hometown.

Liu Yue looked at Pingyang, full of regrets. If he was given a few more days, Liu Yue believed that he would be able to conquer Pingyang City.

Liu Yue has been coveting Pingyang City for a long time. Although they are in the same county, the poor Puzi City and the rich Pingyang City are completely incomparable. To capture Pingyang City, for Liu Yue, it is a lot of gold, silver and jewels.

, countless beauties, money and food.

But now all this has been missed. There is no way. Although things are good, life is more important. Without life, you can't enjoy anything.

Liu Yuedao also made a prompt decision and without any delay, ordered the Huns soldiers who besieged Pingyang and the defeated Huns soldiers to retreat together to their base camp, Puzi County.

Since the Huns were all cavalry and their movements were extremely fast, not long after Liu Yue issued the order, the Huns all jumped on their horses and galloped away.

The Hun cavalry who escaped from the front line ran the fastest. To be honest, the nightmare brought to them by the Wei cavalry will probably be unforgettable for a while.

The Huns soldiers who stayed behind in the main camp to attack the city did not have any intuitive feelings about this failure. They even felt that Liu Yue's withdrawal was a bit too hasty. Even if half of the cavalry brought by Liu Yue were lost, the soldiers who stayed in the main camp did not have any intuitive feelings.

Horses accounted for half of them. Adding the two together, the Huns still had at least 70% of their troops.

With so many soldiers and horses, why should they run away like a lost dog?

But Liu Yue seemed to be discouraged and did not dare to stay in Pingyang anymore. Only returning to his hometown of the Huns in the south could provide him with a sense of security.

Under Liu Yue's order, the Huns abandoned almost all their tent supplies and rode away lightly.

Facts have proved that Liu Yue's decision was quite correct. Less than an hour after they left Pingyang City, the Yueqi camp had already arrived.

However, looking at the Huns who left the camp empty, Deng Ai still shook his head slightly disappointedly. It seemed that the Wei army was still a step late.

When the Xiongnu retreated and reinforcements from the Wei army arrived, Lieutenant Lin was overjoyed and ordered the city gates to be opened to welcome the reinforcements into the city.

However, Cao Liang had no intention of entering the city. Although the Yueqi battalion achieved a great victory in this encounter, their gains were not too great. They only annihilated more than a thousand Huns cavalry.

Although the Yueqi battalion of 2,000 men could kill 1,000 enemies, which was already a pretty good record, for Cao Liang, it was far from enough.

He needed to completely defeat Liu Yue and wipe the southern Xiongnu from Cao Wei's map. It was better to pursue the poor bandits bravely and not to be known as the overlord.

Therefore, Cao Liang refused Lin Duwei's invitation to enter the city. After all, the enemy was currently facing the enemy, and they were far from reaching the point of letting the horse go to Nanshan. Cao Liang asked Lin Duwei to guard Pingyang City to guard against a second sneak attack by the Huns.

As for the Pingbei Army, they stopped for a while outside the city and processed a large number of captured war horses and baggage supplies. Cao Liang kept all the items needed by the Pingbei Army, and left the rest with Captain Lin.

, let him handle it.

There were also some Xiongnu prisoners of war captured in the battle. Cao Liang also handed them over to Lieutenant Lin and asked him to be imprisoned in a prison to wait for the court's treatment.
