Chapter 135 Grassland Encounter After some enlightenment from Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao became calmer.
Huang Zhong is more confident in this sneak attack than last year, because these are the most elite part of the Bingzhou army. Without the new army, their discipline, execution, and bravery are higher than last year.
As expected, I can stab the Xianbei people hard again this time.
But something happened.
"Report! General, Xianbei's leading cavalry was found forty miles ahead, about 3000 people."
The scouts came to report that the Xianbei cavalry in the front was the vanguard, which meant that there was still a large force in the rear.
"Why do the Xianbei people appear here?"
Obviously the Xianbei people were well prepared to go here, so they might have the same purpose as their own, heading towards the other party's base camp! "insidious!"
Huang Zhong cursed secretly, "We must not let the Xianbei people pass so easily!"
No wonder the Xianbei people were not very willing to fight in Liangzhou and were fighting with their lord. It turned out that the killing move was hidden here. Liangzhou was to confuse the lord, and merging the state was their goal this year.
"Everyone! Hidden in the forest on the left!"
After some thought, Huang Zhong decided to eliminate this vanguard force as quickly as possible, "Fei Ge sent a letter to General Xu Rong and the lord, telling them the current situation here."
"Here!"
# The three thousand Xianbei vanguard troops were slowly walking on the road at this moment.
There are still Shan Yu's 4 troops behind, and at the end there are [-] heavy troops, a total of [-] people. The two sides are only fifty miles apart. Even if they are attacked, reinforcements will arrive in an hour, so this is a reassuring distance.
The leader's name is Murong Bo, who belongs to the Murong tribe. He went south to Bingzhou last year and was eventually exchanged for a ransom.
"Even if Liu Han Xiao'er leads 4 people to support Liangzhou, there are still 4 Han troops in Bingzhou, and we only have [-] people, so why are we fighting?"
Murong Bo will never forget the tragedy of last year for the rest of his life. Xianbei Erlang was captured alive and killed while injured.
"That kid is a butcher!" Murong Bo really didn't want to mess with his territory.
However, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he could only follow the instructions above.
After another hour, Murong Bo came to the place where Huang Zhongjun had stayed.
"Why are the footprints here so confusing?"
After years of living in the grasslands, Murong Bo was able to distinguish various kinds of footprints, "War horses, a lot of war horse footprints."
Murong Bo was very surprised. He had never heard of any other troops in the front besides his own.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, "Not good!"
However, it's too late.
The bright sun was suddenly blocked by a dark cloud, leaving only a little sunshine.
"what is that?"
Following a question, everyone looked up at the sky, only to see the dark clouds covering the sky and the sun coming towards them quickly.
Arrows!
"Go back!"
"Whoo~~~!"
The rain of arrows from the sky shot directly at the Xianbei vanguard, catching them off guard.
Murong Bo, who was at the front, instantly became a hedgehog with arrows on his body.
"rush!"
After the rain of arrows, while Xianbei was in chaos, Huang Zhong led his army to rush out and kill the Xianbei vanguard with thunderous momentum.
"kill!"
The ground was shaking, the horses were neighing, and the cavalry arrived in an instant. The Xianbei people lost their leader and ran around in panic, making it impossible to organize an effective defense.
The Han army had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, equipment, and momentum. Seven thousand fine cavalry were killing the enemy. In just one encounter, less than a thousand Xianbei people were left out of three thousand.
But before they could take a breath, another 7000 Han cavalry appeared from behind, cooperating with the [-] people in front, attacking the Xianbei people from both sides.
A hearty battle of annihilation was completed. From the initial release of arrows to the killing of the last Xianbei man, it only took a quarter of an , the Han army only suffered 20 deaths and 30 injuries. "withdraw!"
After wiping out the Xianbei vanguard, Huang Zhong did not let anyone clean up the battlefield and directly led the army to evacuate, leaving a mess behind.
# After half an hour.
When Helian failed to receive news from the first 3000 men, he led his army to rush over, but it was still a step too late.
"Damn!"
The fighting style of this Han army is exactly the same as that of the one that attacked the royal court. You don't need to think too much to know, "Huang Zhong!"
Originally, He Lian was still in Liangzhou wondering why Liu Han had not seen General Huang Zhong disappear for a long time. It turned out that he was waiting for him here!
When they were in Liangzhou, the army did not dare to spread out easily, and they were also afraid that the steel knife under Liu Han's hand would hit him from the side. After all, this was in line with his style.
"Damn Han people, you really lied to me!"
Now, 3000 people have been wiped out, and the snake has been alerted. The plan of sneak attack on Bingzhou has been ruined. Helian can be 100% sure that this Han has colluded with Liu Han's son for a long time.
Otherwise, why did he fail in his night attack on the camp and flee? Otherwise, why would this secret attack hit Huang Zhong directly?
He Lian couldn't think of any other reason. If the first time was a coincidence, would the second time also be a coincidence?
Unfortunately, in order to ensure the top secret of the operation, He Lian did not take Xu You with him, but left him in Liangzhou. If Xu You were here, his head would be killed.
Because even he couldn't tell clearly at the moment.
"Great Chanyu, are you still going south?"
"What the hell are you going to do? A sneak attack. The most important thing is secrecy! We've already exposed everything, so what's the point of a sneak attack?"
"then we"
He Lian looked fierce, "Chase! They can't run far!"
Compared to Liu Han, the Xianbei people hated Huang Zhong even more, because he was the one who burned Danhan Mountain, and the hatred for destroying their family was irreconcilable.
Huang Zhong killed 3000 pioneers and escaped with one blow. There was only one possibility, that is, he didn't have many people in his hands, at most [-].
Since a sneak attack south is no longer feasible, it would not be a loss if we concentrate our superior forces to capture Huang Zhong and break off Liu Han's arm.
"Toward the direction of Yinshan Mountain, the troops are divided into six groups, with 5000 people in each group. The distance should not be too large. Make sure that the distance between two adjacent groups can be reached in half an hour. Find the location of this army. Once you find it, entangle them, and the other groups will quickly surround them. ."
"Here!"
Following He Lian's order, the Xianbei army quickly separated, looking for traces of Huang Zhong's army on the vast prairie.
# Liangzhou.
Beidi County, Lian County.
Liu Han was also shocked when he received Huang Zhong's flying pigeon letter.
"No wonder there are only 5 people attacking Liangzhou this time. It turns out that the remaining people have the same idea as me, thinking of a sneak attack!"
Gao Shun: "Lord, are you still attacking Lingwu Valley?"
"It will take at least ten days to go back. It will be too late to support Huang Zhong. Now they are alone and cannot last for that long."
Liu Han showed a murderous look on his face. This time he fought with Xianbei, but he was led by the nose. "Come out of Lingwu Valley, rush out of the low mountains, first go north, then east, and we will meet him in three days."
Zhang He: "But there are still more than 3 Xianbei people in Liangzhou, so don't you care?"
"Thirty thousand? If my guess is correct, He Lian took people away secretly a few days ago. The reason why he avoided direct combat with us was to prevent us from noticing that they were short of men."
"Gao Shun!"
"The end is here!"
"The trapped camp will take the lead, and the army will follow up. I will break through Lingwu Valley in one day!"
"Here."
