Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Following Chen Yang's order, the crossbowmen beside him immediately raised their crossbows to fight back.

The enemy heard the leader's order and launched an attack quickly. Like Chen Yang, they were all cavalry, and their horseshoes stepped on the ground, splashing smoke and dust all over the sky.

In Shuofang before, it was Chen Yang and the others who attacked the enemy's camp, but now it was reversed, and it was the enemy who ambushed them.

The crossbowman pressed the button, and a row of crossbow arrows shot out in an instant.

Only the wailing of men and horses could be heard, and a row of cavalry in the front of the enemy fell down one after another.

The leader of the enemy seemed to be prepared, and shouted: "Shield!"

The next moment, the cavalry in the front row stretched out their hands and pulled back, a shield was in front of them. Their riding skills were generally not weak, and even without the aid of stirrups, they could still hold a shield in one hand and a saber in the other.

The rain of arrows from the crossbow was also blocked by the shield.

Sima Yi knew Chen Yang very well, and also knew how powerful those crossbows were, so he was well prepared.

These can't stop the continuous blows of crossbows for a long time, but they can block them for a while.

For the cavalry, this time is enough for them to charge.

Because the cavalry is fast, flexible, and can get close quickly.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I'll be the striker again!"

As soon as Dian Wei finished speaking, he slapped his horse on his horse, brandishing a pair of long halberds, leading hundreds of people towards the enemy's cavalry.

The cavalry who raised their shields were just about to fight back, but Dian Wei's halberd hit the shield heavily.

The terrifying force made them feel as if they were being hit by a bull. Dian Wei immediately sent several of them flying and fell heavily under the horse.

"General, I'm going to meet General Dian!"

Zhao Yun didn't want to be lonely when he saw him, he brought hundreds of people with him, and immediately joined Dian Wei.

A cold light flashed from the silver spear in his hand, piercing through a shield directly, raising the cavalry behind him high, and throwing it aside.

The sound of shouting and killing continued to resound in the field.

Xia Houheng and Cao Fu were ordered to bring 1000 people each to break through the siege.

Cao Fan took the rest of the people and fought back and fought beside Chen Yang.

The enemy generals all of a sudden stared at Chen Yang, holding a long saber in his hand, and said with a sneer: "Master Xu Bu once said that no matter who can kill Chen Yang, he will be promoted to three levels in a row, and he will have no food and clothing for the rest of his life." Worry, I will borrow your head today."

After the words fell, the leader galloped his horse and came to Chen Yang's side in the blink of an eye. His saber was raised and lowered, and a dazzling light flashed.

Chen Yang raised his hand and waved his sword to block it, and said coldly, "You don't have the qualifications to kill me."

The leader snorted coldly and said, "Then let's try."

He swung his saber around and was about to charge again, but before his blade could threaten Chen Yang, it was blocked by an iron sword that suddenly appeared.

Wang Yue raised his hand vigorously to block his knife.

Feeling the impact of huge force, the leader's face suddenly changed, he had to hold the handle of the knife with both hands, but the knife was still sent flying by the strong force.

"Die!"

Wang Yue said these two words without emotion, and dragged the sword in his hand down, piercing the leader's chest.

boom!

The leader fell straight down.

Seeing that the leader had been killed, the remaining cavalry had no one to command, and their combat effectiveness plummeted.

In the end, only more than 1000 people could escape, and fled to the west in embarrassment.

Chen Yang lost hundreds of cavalry.

"Record their names," Chen Yang said.

It is impossible to take the corpse back, it can only have a name, and it can be sent back by them. This is the case for soldiers in this era.

Cao Fan was responsible for recording the names of the fallen soldiers, and Cao Fu sorted out the rest of the wounded cavalry.

Zhao Yun said: "General, the enemy will set up an ambush here, which means that Sima Yi guessed our movements, what should we do next."

Now that Sima Yi had guessed this, he couldn't let Chen Yang go lightly, and someone must have come to intercept him.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yang said: "Give up on attacking Juyan, let's go south."

He wanted to take down Juyan, causing more chaos within the Xiongnu, making them overwhelmed, and creating more time for Cao Ang in Chang'an to resist.

Even fight for opportunities for Yecheng.

The only thing to do now is to change the plan.

Continue to go south from here. If Chen Yang remembers correctly, this place is the left side of the Xiongnu, which is the place where the Hun Zuo Xianwang lived.

This Zuo Xianwang was the one who attacked Chang'an and took away Cai Yan, Cai Yong's daughter.

Cai Yan is Cai Wenji, also known as Cai Zhaoji. It is said that she was changed to Wenji by later generations because she avoided the famous taboo of Sima.

If the place where the Huns royal family can be conquered, the effect will be better.

"Pass my military order, the whole army will go south." Chen Yang said loudly.

Two days later.

They finally came to the left side of the Xiongnu, where the court of the Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu is located. This place is called Cishi County.

The Southern Huns in this era were a bit sinicized.

King Zuoxian even had a Chinese name Liu Bao. His son Liu Yuan later succeeded the Xiongnu Shanyu, and he was the one who opened the prelude to the Five Chaos.

When they came near Cishi County, Chen Yang didn't show up right away. They hid in a forest to make sure there was no ambush nearby, and began to eat dry food to prepare for rest, and went to attack the city early tomorrow morning.

"General, this is the royal court on the left side of the Huns. It might not be easy to take down, right?"

Cao Fu said with a little worry.

"This is close to Bingzhou. The soldiers and horses of King Zuoxian should have been taken away by Sima Yi. The city is empty."

Chen Yang opened a military map, looked at it for a while, and said, "Take down the court of King Zuoxian first, and then we will attack the court of Xiongnu Chanyu, right here."

He pointed out a spot.

The royal court of the Xiongnu Shanyu is in the area close to Mobei, which goes deeper into the grassland.

Compared with the Huns in the south, the Shanyu royal court in the north still maintained their nomadic habits and lifestyle.

Chen Yang has been in the Western Regions and Liangzhou for so long, and he has found out all these things clearly.

Xia Houheng said: "You are not afraid, are you? If we can also take down Shan Yu's royal court, it will be another Huo Qubing of the big man."

As long as he thought of this, Xia Houheng's blood would boil.

When Cao Fu heard this, he patted his heart and said, "Of course I'm not afraid!"

Chen Yang thought for a while, and said: "Go back and rest as soon as possible, and recharge your batteries. Tomorrow morning, we will take down Cishi County first. Also, take out all the remaining firearms and use them to blast open the city gate tomorrow. .”

Cao Fan immediately went to prepare firearms. Last time he used most of them in Shuofang, and now there are not many left, but it is still enough to attack the city.

Soon, it was the next morning.

Chen Yang gathered under the tower with the remaining 4000 cavalry.

Seeing an enemy approaching outside the city, and it was the cavalry of the big Han, the generals guarding the city in Cishi County panicked and went back to report.

Because the Xiongnu wanted to use troops against the great Han, that is, against the current Cao family, almost all the soldiers and horses of the various tribes of the Huns were gathered in the north of Yecheng and other places.

As the royal court of King Zuo Xian, Cishi County is close to Bingzhou, just like what Chen Yang almost said, there are not many soldiers here.

That's why they were so flustered.

If they defended the city normally, they might be able to defend the city for support.

But Chen Yang's method of attacking the city was not a conventional method of attacking the city.
