I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 173, in despair

Hou Bugudu still wanted to struggle a little bit, now that he returned to Meiji, the lives of the others were saved, but he was really done!
He looked at Qu Beer, the most determined anti-thunder faction here is Qu Beer, and now he can only rely on Qu Beer to talk and dispel everyone's idea of ​​retreating!
But going to Beer also felt very helpless, the march was not smooth, not to mention the number of enemies 6 times more, a camp was very strong, they stormed for ten days but could not break through, now the reinforcements from Yunzhong County have arrived , Even if they break through Niu Gui's camp, it's useless unless they can defeat the 6 reinforcements of the Tengjia Army!
But this kind of war that wins more with less is obviously not something that can be fought!Otherwise, he would not be unknown in history.

Qu Bei could only smile wryly and said: "Shan Yu, now that we are retreating, we will return to Meiji! If we delay for a few days, I'm afraid we will be surrounded by groups in Yunzhong County!"

"This time we misjudged Lei Gong's strength, so that one wrong step caused us to lose everything, but it was not without any gains. Lei Gong can support Yunzhong County, and with the power of Lei Gong delayed by the commander of Baima Tong, then five Yuan County and Shuofang County may not have many troops, but with the strength of the Xianbei people, they should be able to conquer these two counties."

"Lei Gong will take revenge, and he will never let the Xianbei people go. The Xianbei people are the overlords of the desert, and their strength is not much worse than Lei Gong. When two tigers fight, one will be injured. They will definitely fight for several years. I don't think Lei Gong has time. Come and deal with us! We can take advantage of this time to recuperate and get the forgiveness of the Han court at the same time!
After all, although we killed Qiang Qu, we did not attack the counties of the Han, but attacked the rebellious Lei Gong of the Han. No matter what we do, we are the loyal ministers of the Han. The Emperor of Han must not care about our achievements. It's a small matter that Qiang Qu was killed. After all, Emperor Han wanted our soldiers to help him fight! "

Hou Bu Gudu looked skeptical. Although there was a way to what he said, he always felt that Lei Gong was more likely to destroy the weak Southern Huns first, and the most important thing, what should I do?The difficulty is just pulled by you to be a scapegoat!Of course you are loyal ministers, but I have already called Shan Yu, how could Emperor Han let me go!

Hou Bugudu knew that he could only rely on himself now, he thought for a while and said: "You can retreat if you want, but you can't contact the Han court privately, you must let the Han court recognize me as a chanyu, so that we can continue to rely on the Han court. !"

"Don't worry, Shan Yu, we will definitely not contact the Han court!" Now as long as these leaders retreat, they will agree to anything no matter what they say!

Hou Bugudu summoned one of his confidantes and said, "Go and inform Baima Tong, tell him that we have not conquered Yunzhong County, and let him return to Meiji!"

At this time, Xubu Guduhou didn't know that Baima Tong had been defeated by Xu Wei!

Rattan Armor Camp!
When Marquis Xubu Gudu was discussing how to retreat, they had already received the news from Wang Yong's expedition that the vanguard of the reinforcements had arrived in Chengle County. The vanguard was only 100 miles away from them, and they could arrive here in a day at most.

So at this time, Niu Gui's Chinese military camp can be described as a joy, and the most difficult moment has finally passed.Yesterday Niu Gui almost thought that his camp was going to be breached and he was going to die in Yunzhong County. Thank God the reinforcements finally came!
Xie Yan said happily: "General, we can finally fight back!"

Yan Zhu followed up and said: "We have killed so many people this time, we must leave all these Huns in Yunzhong County! Let them be our captives, let them dig mines, dig canals, and use them to supplement what we lack. labor force!"

Niu Gui said: "The key now is not to let the Huns escape. If they cross the Yellow River, we will be in trouble if we try to catch them again! Wu Lin, take Tan Ma Tun to watch the Huns' camp and monitor their every move. Flee to the Yellow River and report immediately!"

Wu Lin came out and said, "No!"

Niu Gui looked at the other lieutenants again and said, "Everyone should be ready, it's time for us to fight back when Wang Yong's way comes!"

Xie Yan and they happily said: "No!"

The next day, because Wang Yong's army was about to arrive, Niu Gui and Xu Bu Guduhou both had a rest day!
Li Gang led 5000 iron cavalry and galloped for a hundred miles, and finally came to Niu Gui's camp!

After Niu Gui knew about it, he brought the captain beside him to the gate of Daying to welcome him!

Seeing Niu Gui, Li Gang got off his horse and said, "How dare Gang bother the general to come and greet him!"

Niu Gui pulled Li Gang and said with a smile, "You are here to support me, so why bother!"

Then he took Li Gang into the camp and said: "The Huns are so vicious. They almost broke through my camp two days ago. I hope you can see through it!"

Li Gang didn't doubt Niu Gui's words, because he found that the land around the camp had turned blood red, and it was obvious that the surrounding area had experienced very fierce fighting!

So he asked, "Where are the Huns now, and how many troops are there?"

Niu Gui said: "The camp of the Huns is less than 20 miles away from here, and there are still more than [-] troops. These Huns are fierce in battle, so don't underestimate them! When will you, Wang Yong and the others arrive?"

Li Gang said: "The general's army should have just left Chengle County, and it will take about a day to lead the army here!"

Niu Gui smiled and said, "Okay, when Wang Yong comes, we will capture the Hun Shanyu alive!"

But the arrival of Li Gang's 5000 reinforcements was quickly discovered by the Huns!
Xubu Gudu Hou and the others dared not stay here, they immediately dismantled the camp, and then led the soldiers towards the Yellow River!

And the actions of the Huns were quickly reported to Niu Gui by Wu Lin!
Niu Gui smiled and said: "Hou Bu Gudu and they want to escape!"

"Xie Yan, you take 1 cavalry to contain them, don't let them cross the Yellow River!"

The words of thanks came out and said, "No!"

At this time Li Gang came out and said: "General, the Huns are numerous and powerful, and our troops can go together to restrain the Huns!"

Niu Gui originally wanted to leave Li Gang here to rest and recuperate, but considering the fighting power of the Huns the day before yesterday, he felt that it would be better for Li Gang's cavalry to follow.

The cavalry that Li Gang brought this time are truly elite. Everyone has armor. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, the [-] cavalry of the Huns are far inferior to this armored army. With Li Gang around, Xie Yan said they are also safe Some, after all, all the soldiers he left in the camp were infantry, and it would be difficult to rescue them in time if anything happened!

So Xie Yan and Li Gang left the camp with 1.5 cavalry, and chased them in the direction of the Huns!

The Huns marched to the Yellow River for less than 20 miles, and found the cavalry of the Tengjia Army trailing behind them!
Hou Bu Gudu said angrily, "Niu Gui doesn't want us to go!"

There were tens of thousands of cavalry following them, not to mention crossing the Yellow River, even if they marched fast, they would be finished if they were attacked by the rattan armor army, but they didn't have the strength to fight.

Marquis Xu Bu Gudu continued: "Someone needs to stop the cavalry of the Tengjia Army here, otherwise we will all die here when the reinforcements of the Tengjia Army arrive!"

Qu Beer thought for a while and said: "Commander, we can divide the army into two and march alternately. Although this speed is slower, it is better in safety. The Tengjia Army only has more than [-] cavalry. We can think of the number of horses and horses in each of our troops." , If they really want to attack us, our two troops will attack them together."

So the Huns divided their troops into two groups, one group confronted Xie Yan and the others, one group advanced 10 miles and then stopped, and then waited for the other group to retreat, while they continued to confront Xie Yan and the others.

Xie Yan said that they were not strong enough, and they didn't want to fight the Huns to the death, so they followed them behind.At the same time, report the situation here to Niu Gui!

After Niu Gui knew this situation, he was worried that the Huns would escape from Yunzhong County, so he raised his army and chased them in the direction of the Huns!
In this way, the two sides chased and fled, because Xie Yan they restrained the Huns and their marching speed was not fast, and finally they were blocked by Niu Gui and the others on the bank of the Yellow River!Xie Yan Li Gang and Niu Gui each blocked one direction.

Xubuguduhou and the others had a sheepskin raft to cross the Yellow River, but facing the 3-odd army on the opposite side, it was obvious that someone had to be the queen, and no one of this person wanted to be the queen. This was almost a narrow escape!

Xubuguduhou looked at the leader of the Huns, but everyone looked in other directions, and no one was willing to stand up!
And at this moment, he went to inform Baima Tong's confidant who suddenly ran over and said with a panicked expression: "Shan Yu, Commander Baima Tong fought with Lei Gong, unfortunately died in battle, and the whole army was wiped out. Now Lei Gong has crossed the Yellow River." , killing Meiji!"

"What!" Hearing these words, Xu Bu Gudu felt dizzy for a while, Lei Gong went to Meiji, and the Xiongnu would never end!
"How is it possible? The commander-in-chief of Baima Tong has 4 cavalry, how could he be defeated!" Qu Beer grabbed the guard and asked.

"That's right, even if Marshal Baima Bronze is not Lei Gong's opponent, the 4 cavalry will not be able to escape!"

Qin Wei said, "General Baimatong originally wanted to use a sheepskin raft to cross the Yellow River, but the navy of the Tengjia Army suddenly appeared and burned all the sheepskin raft of General Baimatong, cutting off the commander's escape route. The army is destroyed!"

"What! The Tengjia Army still has a navy in the Yellow River!" Lan Buwu said in shock.

If there is such a navy that can cut off the back of Baima Tong, then it can also cut off their back!After all, they are all on the same Yellow River, even if they go upstream, it will take less than 3-4 days to reach Yunzhong County.

Lan Buwu knew that there was no need to delay: "Shan Yu, we have to cross the river immediately. If the navy of the Tengjia Army arrives in Yunzhong County, we will be wiped out by the Tengjia Army by the Yellow River just like Marshal Baimatong." up!"

Lan Buwu really has the characteristics of a crow's mouth. As soon as his words fell, many Huns saw warships going upstream from the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

"It's the sailor of the Rattan Armor Army!"

At this moment Xubuguduhou had recovered from the shock!
"Now we are in a desperate situation. It is impossible to return to Meiji. We can only break through the army in front of us, break through the siege, and go to the desert to join the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people are powerful. If they can unite to deal with Lei Gong, You must be able to kill Lei Gong! Now, everyone, command your troops, and we will defeat the Tengjia army on the opposite side!"

When the other leaders thought about it, there was only this way now!
Marquis Xubu Gudu sorted out his troops, and then went to Xieyan to kill them!
Xie Yan, they were very surprised at the beginning, but when they also found the navy on the Yellow River, they realized that Xubuguduhou was a trapped beast.

Xie Yan said to Li Gang: "Be careful, now the Huns' way of life is blocked by us, they are going to fight to the death!"

Li Gang said with a smile: "Soon the Huns will find out that they have chosen a dead end!"

"Arrange the formation, everyone is ready to fight the Huns!"

Xie Yan said: "Last time I said that there was a tactic against the Huns, and it achieved good results!"

Then he said the last time he used the Mongols' riding and shooting tactics!
Li Gang was surprised and said: "This is the tactic of the ancient Menggu people? You are really useful!"

Xu Wei can be said to be the tactical teacher of the top level of the Rattan Armor Army. After all, Xu Wei has experienced the Internet age, so he is a little bit capable of talking on paper.

And when Xu Wei explained the battle examples to them, he would often include some tactics that would appear in later generations, such as the cavalry and archery tactics of the ancients, the heavy cavalry and wall-riding tactics of Europe, and the mandarin duck formation and other tactics of later generations. Of course, according to Xu Wei, these arms and tactics have become the tactics of ancient times. Anyway, the rattan armor army is illiterate and few people understand history!

This is also the reason why Xie Yan and the others will come up with tactics that transcend this era, because Xu Wei explained it to them. Of course Xu Wei knows that he has only a half-knowledge, and he also explained to Wang Lei and the others. !
The explanation to them is that the environment is different, and the tactics will also change. These tactics may not be suitable for the current rattan armor army!

Xie Yan continued: "This time they want to escape, I can't continue to fight with them, but I need a cavalry to block the way of these Huns, after stopping the Huns, the two-winged light cavalry shot them back and forth with crossbow With the crossbow arrows of our Rattan Armored Army, the Huns can hold on for at most a quarter of an hour!"

Li Gang said with a smile: "My 5000 soldiers are all wearing iron armor, who can stop the Huns from attacking me!"

Xie Yan said: "My [-] soldiers are arranged on your two wings. If we capture the Hun Shanyu in this battle, the names of our two brothers will definitely be recorded in the history!"

After Xie Yan and Li Gang arranged their tactics, their cavalry also quickly formed their formation. When the Huns' cavalry approached within 2 miles of them, the army charged out under the leadership of Xie Yan and Li Gang!
More than 4 cavalry from both sides fought desperately on the bank of the Yellow River. The Huns wanted to fight for a way to survive, and all mourners were bound to win.

And Xie Yan and Li Gang also want to defend their home and country. They know that when this Hun cavalry rushes out, without food and grass, they will definitely become bandits and harm the entire Yunzhong County. In order to protect the people of Yunzhong County, they must not let This Huns rushed out of the encirclement!

Both sides fought on the grassland with the belief that they would win. In an instant, the drums of war were thundering, the horns blared, the horses galloped, and the sound of killing soared into the sky.
