Chapter 103: Removal of the Southern Huns ([-]) The battlefield situation changed suddenly. The Southern Xiongnu did not intend to continue the decisive battle with the Han army. The two sides changed from a fierce frontal battle to a roaming battle, and then to a pursuit battle. The Qiangqu Chanyu ran in front and the Han army chased behind.
The Qiangqu Chanyu didn't stop until he reached the foot of Meiji City, but something happened that puzzled him, "Why is there no clansman in the big tent outside the city? And why is the city so quiet?"
"Young man on the city, I am Qiangqu, please open the city gate quickly!"
No one answered.
"I am Qiangqu, open the city gate quickly!"
Still no answer.
"Quickly open the city gate! Quickly open the city gate!"
Seeing that the pursuers were approaching, but there was still no answer on the city, Qiangqu Shanyu became anxious, holding a riding whip, and shouted at the city.
Suddenly, only a cannon shot was heard, and there were many banners on the city. A general stood on the wall, "I am Xu Rong, Xu Ziyi, the inspector general under the command of the King of Hejian. This is also the Qiangqu and Wangting defenders. They have all been wiped out. You." The royal court has been occupied by our army!"
"what!!!"
Qiang Qu was so angry that he shouted and fell to the ground. The successive blows made the old man unable to hold on any longer.
"Shan Yu!"
"Shan Yu!"
"."
Before Qiangqu Shanyu fell into coma, he said with his last breath: "To the north, only to the north is there a way to survive."
# But it was said that Liu Han was fighting a battle with the Qiang and Qu armies. Xu Rong, who was following Liu Han's army, did not choose to join the battlefield from the side. Instead, he took advantage of the emptiness inside the Southern Xiongnu to seize the opportunity and rush towards Meiji.
The people of the Southern Xiongnu tribe who were packing up their belongings and preparing to evacuate to the city were attacked one after another by the Han army and were beaten into fear. When Xu Rong's army rushed towards them, there was no effective resistance at all and they dispersed.
The southern Huns fled blindly, which caused some obstacles to Xu Rong's tribe, but more of them created opportunities. The gate of Meiji County could not be closed, and there were only a few hundred defenders left. How could they stop the 3000-man cavalry?
As expected, Xu Rong took the opportunity to seize the city gate and divided the 3000 people into three teams. One team drove away the Southern Huns inside the city, the other team drove away the Southern Huns outside the city, and the remaining team took the opportunity to seize the city gate. City head.
Looking at the dust in the distance, the two sides were fighting fiercely, but it was obvious that the Han army had the upper hand. Xu Rong stepped up his defense. As expected, the defeated southern Xiongnu army would definitely flee here.
So, there was the scene just now.
"I am Xu Rong, Xu Ziyi, the Inspector General under the command of the King of Hejian. This is also the Qiang Qu and Wang Ting defenders have been wiped out. Your Wang Ting has been occupied by our army!"
The soldiers of the Han army had already prepared their bows and arrows and were ready.
"Fire arrows!"
Xu Rong gave an order, and the archers fired a series of shots, which made the defeated Southern Xiongnu army unable to raise their heads and could only flee in all directions.
However, a greater disaster is yet to come. Liu Han's army, which is chasing after him, has also caught up to the city gate. Both sides are attacking from the front and back. One side's morale is high, and they have the advantage in numbers and equipment. The other side's morale is low, and the coach is in a coma. With no fighting spirit and no unified command, they became lambs to be slaughtered, running around in the formation.
Such a wrong approach accelerated the defeat and caused internal strife. For a time, the number of casualties soared.
"Put down your weapons and dismount without killing!"
Liu Han shouted the slogan, followed by the army behind him, and the loud voice resounded through the sky, ending the farce.
In the end, only a hundred of the Southern Huns' army of ten thousand people escaped. Except for the Southern Huns who were killed in the initial battle and later in internal chaos, they finally captured more than [-] people, of which more than [-] were wounded.
The last remaining fighting strength of the Southern Huns will be decided in one battle.
The Qiangqu Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu was surrounded by three thousand royal guards. He was a good man. Although he could not withstand the sharp edge of the Han army, none of them made a sneak attack. In the end, he was completely wiped out in the first battle. The Qiangqu Chanyu was captured alive. The army entered the city and eliminated it. The remaining Xiongnu tribe in the south of the city.
# The screen shifts to Huang Zhong and Xu the night attack on the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court, the army attacked from east to west. After Yu Meiji killed several people, they withdrew from the battle. However, the direction of their retreat was not to the west, but to the north.
The army rested for most of the day in Manbai County (now southeast of Dalat Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region). In the eighth year of Yongping (AD 65), the Duliao camp was set up here. The highest commander was General Duliao, with the purpose of preventing traffic from the Huns in the south and north. , but as the southern Xiongnu annexed the territory and the northern Xiongnu fled westward, it was abolished by the end of the Han Dynasty, so Manbai County became a small county with only 3000 people.
Just after resting for half a day, I heard a report from the detective horse, saying that a large number of Huns appeared twenty miles away, numbering about [-].
Huang Zhong was shocked when he heard the news. Where did these [-] string control people appear from? Later I realized that among these 10 people, there were only a few hundred soldiers, and most of them were common people of the Southern Huns.
"Why did they flee north?"
Huang Zhong was puzzled, "Map!"
Xu Huang brought a map and said, "Fifty miles from Meiji to Manbai, these [-] people must be refugees who escaped from Meiji."
Huang Zhong thought the same way, "It seems that my lord won a great victory in Meiji."
Just as he was talking, he saw a white pigeon flying into the army. The translator quickly translated and handed the information to Huang Zhong.
"So that's it," Huang Zhong suddenly realized after seeing the intelligence, "Brother Ziyi is also here and has occupied Meiji. He sent a message asking us to intercept the Southern Huns fleeing north."
"Please give the order, General Huang!"
"General please order!"
Everyone asked for a fight.
"The army immediately gave up rest and recuperation, mounted their horses and went out to fight, blocking the enemy's way." As he said that, Huang Zhong pointed his finger on the map, "This place is called Yushuhao, which is ten miles away from our army. It is the only way for the enemy to move north. Xu Huang, you Lead the main army to set up crossbows on the trench slope, while I will lead the Huolin Army to block the front."
"As ordered!"
# Elm trench.
After another half an hour, the Yan family came here with the strength of the Southern Xiongnu, followed by 12 tribal people.
To be honest, she was at a loss now and didn't know where to go, but Meiji definitely couldn't go back.
"Don't worry, mother, Shanyu will be fine. Although the Han army has many people, it will be difficult to defeat Shanyu's army of ten thousand." It was Qubei, the third son of Qiangqu, who said this.
Hearing this, the Yan family looked at her grandson Liu Bao, the son of Yu Fuluo, and nodded with difficulty, "My son, the Southern Huns may have to rely on you in the future."
"Here."
While the two were talking, they saw a Han general coming from the trench not far away. There were also densely packed Han troops standing on the two slopes. Qubei recognized it at a glance as the Han general who had attacked the camp last night.
"Thief, take your life!"
At the end of the day, I feel like a lost dog. Suddenly, anger comes from my heart, and I want to fight with my gun.
"No!"
Yanshi shouted, trying to stop Qubei, but it was already too late.
Huang Zhong didn't do any ink. He picked up a big sword and rode a fast horse, facing Qubei and slashing Huashan Mountain with one force.
"Dang~!"
Huang Zhong's opponent was nowhere to be found. With one move, his hands were numb and his mouth was bleeding. He was immediately horrified and wanted to run away.
