Chapter 447(1/2)
In Hulao Pass, tens of thousands of Huns were ready to attack at any time.
The purpose of harassing the Han army's food supply routes adopted by the Xiongnu emperor Liu Cong and forcing the Han army to leave the camp was already an initial achievement.
Faced with the raids of the Hun cavalry, the food routes behind the Han army were attacked one after another. Although the killing and killing of the Hun cavalry was very limited, it had basically blocked the transportation of food and grass from the Han army from Xingyang to Hulao.
The Han army outside the pass was obviously beginning to gradually become furious. The Han cavalry went out of the camp several times to expel the Hun cavalry, trying to restore the safety of the food route.
However, these Han army cavalry were too small to completely win.
The Hun cavalry, in line with the tactic of cruising and harassing, made it impossible for the Han cavalry to attack with armored arrays to touch them.
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong was very satisfied with this effect.
"The thieves have no food access, and the morale of the army will be in chaos!"
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong personally ran out of the pass to check the enemy situation. When he saw that the Han cavalry had long stopped being as powerful as the previous few days, he was just guarding around the military camp and no longer cared about the food roads behind him.
"Your Majesty, even if the thief is in chaos, there are nearly 100,000 people, and I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with!" Hu Yanyan, the general of the chariot and cavalry, said with some concern.
After recent battles with the Han army, Hu Yanyan already had a considerable understanding of the Han army's cavalry.
Although the Han army has a small number of cavalry, they are all elite soldiers who will rush to defeat the enemy. As for the Han army's infantry, they may not be easy to deal with.
"I have ordered all the troops of Mengjin and Taigu to be transferred to Huzhu. By then, I will have more than 70,000 troops in my hands!"
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong said confidently.
"My seventy thousand tigers will face the thieves with the 100,000 people with disarray in their thieves, and they will surely win!"
As long as Mengjin Pass is guarding against enemy troops on the north bank of the Yellow River to cross the river and attack, now Liu Can, the Great Huns in Pingyang, led his army southward, which has already forced Hanoi County. The Han army in Hanoi would not have the chance to cross the river and go south.
As for Taigu Pass, it is to guard against the enemy in the south. The pass is very dangerous and does not require too many people.
"Your Majesty, if the Jin king Dun from Jingzhou goes north, wouldn't it be dangerous?" Hu Yanyan, the general of the chariot and cavalry, still reminded him with some concern.
"Wang Dun? Humph, if Wang Dun really dares to come, I will definitely defeat him in one battle!"
Liu Cong didn't care much about the Jin army in Jingzhou.
Soon, things developed as the Hun Emperor Liu Cong imagined.
A Hun soldier who was previously captured by the Han army was released as a messenger.
When Liu Cong opened the letter of the Qingzhou thieves' appointment, he was already overjoyed.
"Haha, the thief must have no way to support him, so he was in a hurry to fight me!"
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong held up the letter and said proudly to the generals next to him.
In the letter, the thief chief of Qingzhou, Liu Yu, said that he hoped to fight against the male and female forces on the east bank of the Sishui River, and was willing to retreat ten miles to give the Huns the opportunity and space to cross the river and line up.
When the Huns generals heard this, they were all overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, this thief is already impatient. Let's send troops quickly, and we will definitely be able to defeat him in one battle!"
"Yes, did your Majesty say you want to fight quickly? Now the thief hit His Majesty's design!"
These Hun generals seemed to have seen the embarrassing appearance of the Han army and advised Liu Cong to send troops.
Anyway, at this time, the Hun soldiers and horses in Mengjin, Taigu and other places had all arrived, and the gap in numbers between the two sides had been greatly narrowed.
However, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong did not agree immediately.
He shook his head gently and said.
"There is a military strategy. Anyone who wants to attack must show the enemy to defend it. Although I want to fight quickly, I cannot follow the wishes of the thieves!"
"Since the bandits are already impatient, I will wait a little longer!
”
Some Hun generals were secretly anxious when they saw this.
The news from Guanzhong recently has not been very smooth.
The Liangzhou soldiers led by Sima Bao fought against the Huns repeatedly in the Yongzhou area, and both sides had their own victories and defeats.
However, the foundation of the Huns in Guanzhong was still shallow. If Sima Bao and others could not be driven out quickly, then the number of Jin people rebelled in Guanzhong would only increase.
The Huns were able to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, and the big way was their deterrent power of winning repeatedly.
If this deterrent power is gone, it will be trapped in a passive way with enemies on all sides.
"Your Majesty, when will you wait?"
"when?"
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Of course it's time for the thief to be completely anxious!"
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong did not reply to this letter of war sent by the Han State in Qingzhou, as if he had not received it at all.
Two days later, a Han cavalry suddenly appeared outside Hulao Pass.
These Han cavalry all had super loud voices, and once they appeared, they cursed at Hulao Pass.
All they said were filthy words, mocking the humble and timid people of the Huns, and shouting out the rumors about Liu Cong's harem in a very rude way.
When the Hun soldiers at Hulao Pass heard this, they were all furious and immediately cavalry went to expel them.
However, the Han cavalry were also very slippery and did not fight with them at all, and they retreated one after another.
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong, who received the news, was not angry at all, but looked joyful.
"The thief seems to be in a panic and actually uses such despicable childish means!" Liu Cong said proudly.
"Don't worry, your Majesty, after defeating the thieves, I will definitely pull out the tongues of those fake thieves!" Jin Zhun said angrily.
Among the mockery of the Han cavalry, he was Jin Zhun, who was nothing more than saying that he sold his daughter to seek honor, and was a family of slaves in the brothel!
"Wait a little longer, the time is almost here!"
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong kept rubbing his hands and said.
His heart was already very excited. The situation in Guanzhong was getting more and more dangerous. He had to seize the time to resolve the enemy in Guandong and return to Chang'an to take charge.
However, the more he is at this time, the more he has to calm down and wait for the enemy to make mistakes.
"Transfer my orders to disperse all the scouts. Always pay attention to the movements of the thieves. Once the thief army sets off the camp, come and report it quickly!" Liu Cong said again.
"I will obey the order!" Jin Zhun immediately took the order and arranged it.
A few days later, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong, who had been waiting for a long time, finally got the news.
"Your Majesty, the bandit army has already grown a stove and fed for food this morning. It seems that the bandit army is about to set off the camp!"
Jin Zhun hurriedly ran to Liu Cong to repay him.
"Very good!"
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong was overjoyed when he stood up. When he stood up, he even knocked down the food on the table.
He didn't care about anything to eat, and immediately put on his armor and led hundreds of cavalry out of Hulao Pass to check the enemy situation.
Sure enough, when Liu Cong arrived at the periphery of the Han army camp, he had already seen the Han army begin to leave the camp.
Tens of thousands of Han troops began to set up formations outside the camp.
"Your Majesty, the thief seems to be taking the initiative to attack!" Jin Zhun said from the side.
"Well, that's great. The thief finally wants to give me a chance!"
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong immediately turned his horse's head and returned to Hulao Pass.
A moment later, the Hun army in Hulao Guanzhong emerged from the nest outside the pass.
Liu Cong had already looked forward to a place, which was most suitable for fighting invading enemies.
The terrain is open there, and there is no terrain for infantry to fight against the cavalry.
As long as the Hun cavalry used their charge to break through the Han army's array, it would be enough to achieve a great victory.
The movements of tens of thousands of Huns from Hulao Pass were quickly discovered by the surrounding Han army cavalry.
Several Han cavalry immediately returned to the camp to report.
"Your Majesty, the Hulu came out of Hulao Pass!"
When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately asked.
"How many soldiers did the Huhu send out?"
"When the last general came back, more than 10,000 had already come out. Looking at the distance, it seemed that there were still tens of thousands in Guanzhong!"
"It seems that the Hulu has been waiting anxiously!" Liu Yu couldn't help but smile.
If the Huns were really not in a hurry, they would not need to send troops to Hulao Pass. They just need to guard the pass, which would make the Han army pay the price of a strong attack.
However, Liu Yu had already known that the situation in Guanzhong was very subtle.
Sima Bao's Liangzhou horses repeatedly defeated the Huns. At the most fierce moment, they even attacked Fufeng County, only a hundred miles away from Chang'an.
Therefore, the Huns had no time to consume themselves using Hulao Pass.
