Chapter 169 Breakthrough!

Because Xin Sheng, the general of Daqin stationed in Longxi County, suddenly dispatched an army of 10,000+ without warning, crossed Jincheng, and launched a strong and fierce attack on the Yue clan's subordinate tribes stationed on Wushaoling.

As soon as the war started, it entered a stalemate!
All kinds of siege equipment are used in turn, and from time to time they have to launch a frontal confrontation, as if they will not give up if they fail to achieve their goals.

Wushao Ridge is bordered by Maya Snow Mountain in the south and Gulang Mountain Gorge in the west. In the south of the Lingnan Mountains is the Jinqiang River with swift water and the Zhuoxixiulong Grassland with rich water and grass. In the north of the Lingnan Mountains is the fertile Anyuan Basin.It is about 17 kilometers long from east to west, 10 kilometers wide from north to south, and 3562 meters above sea level. The mountains are steep and dangerous, and it is the gateway and throat of the Hexi Corridor.

If one wants to enter the Hexi Corridor from Longxi, this Wushao Ridge is a natural danger that cannot be avoided.

It is also because of this that in the 32nd year of the first emperor, that is, in 215 BC, after Meng Tian led an army to capture the Hetao Plain, he had to stop advancing in the face of this natural danger that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There is no way, one man should be the gate and ten thousand men should not be opened.

If you want to win Wushao Ridge, you don't know how many lives you will have to fill it in.

This is natural danger.

Therefore, in the face of the sudden attack by the Qin army, Yueshi was both shocked and nervous. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Wushaoling.

There is only one exception.

Zuo Xian Wang Yu Dun!
When he heard that the Qin army had suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Yuezhi in Wushaoling, his expression changed drastically.

"Quick, quick, Ruoshuihe, Ruoshuihe!"

Zuo Xian Wang Yu Dun only felt a chill run down his spine, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.Immediately ordered the tribe to drop the extra luggage and hurry on the road with all their strength.

However, what he didn't know was that just before that, Zhao Ying's army had already detoured to the Ruoshui River without a sound.

In the past, Huo Qubing went all the way south along this river, and invaded the Hexi Corridor, thus completely securing the victory.In fact, before experiencing the transformation of Bai Dengshan, there were only two most important wars between the Central Plains nation and the grassland nation.

One is geographical advantage and the other is cavalry.

The Hexi Corridor is easy to defend and difficult to attack; the vast grasslands, lack of supplies, and huge logistical pressure; the Central Plains cavalry without a three-piece cavalry suit or enough horses cannot match the Hun cavalry who grew up on horseback in terms of combat effectiveness.

Now with the three-piece cavalry suit and the configuration of one man and three horses, Zhao Ying's army has already made up for the shortcomings of the lack of horses and riding skills.

Now, even with a false shot, while everyone was focusing on the King City of the Xiongnu, he played a trick to cover Chen Cang secretly. The discolored Badain Jaran Desert.

Came to the only shortcoming of the Hexi Corridor.

Weak water riverside.

"This place is the throat of the Yueshi, and there must be heavy guards—"

Zhao Ying glanced at the exhausted but energetic generals under his hands, stretched out his horsewhip, and stroked lightly on the map on the ground.

"I want to divide my troops into two places. One will attack along the northern foot of Heli Mountain to attract the Yuezhi troops as much as possible, and the other will attack along the Ruoshui River to defeat all invading enemies. This battle must only be successful, not allowed. fail!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying looked around like lightning.

"I want to lead [-] cavalry to attack all the way along the Ruoshui River. Now I need a general to take on the important task of Heli Mountain..."

"General, the last is willing to go!"

Zhao Ying didn't finish his sentence.

Han Xin, Zhang Han, Wang Li, Meng Zhan and others rushed to stand up and begged for orders.

Although the task was to feign an attack and attract the Yue clan's troops, it was also a heavy responsibility. Zhao Ying pondered for a moment, but still turned his attention to Han Xin.

If it wasn't for worrying that Han Xin's personal force was not enough to overcome difficulties, he would even want to give him the task of Ruoshui.

History has proved that Han Xin is a god-like existence on the battlefield.

But the premise is to give him enough troops, as for now——

Zhao Ying didn't think that with the current strength of the army, Han Xin could compete with him in overcoming difficulties and destroying cities and villages.

"Han Xin listens to the order! I will give you [-] elite soldiers and [-] Xiongnu soldiers. You will attack all the way along the northern foot of Heli Mountain, and you must attract the attention of Yueshi to the maximum—"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying's voice was a little cold.

"In this battle, life and death don't matter!"

As soon as Zhao Ying's words came out, everyone was in awe. Zhao Ying's arrangement was obvious, that is, to use human lives to fill it, and to nail the troops of the Yuezhi people to the Heli Mountain area.

"promise!"

Soon, the mission will go down.

Han Xin was the main force, Meng Zhan was the assistant, and Chen Ping was the military adviser. He led an army of [-] troops and went straight to the northern foot of Heli Mountain.And he personally led Wang Li, Zhang Han and Zhang Liang, along the Ruoshui River, and went straight to the Hexi Corridor!

While the sky is still bright.

Zhao Ying ordered the whole army to rest and gather all the dried meat, steamed buns and fried noodles from everyone, put them together, and boil soup in a big pot.Made everyone have a hearty hot meal, then ordered, smashed the pot.

"My lords, if you don't succeed in this battle, you will be benevolent! As long as you can win the Hexi Corridor and return to Longxi alive, everyone will be promoted to the third rank and rewarded with a hundred acres of land! Those who die in the battle will be rewarded double! , can be naturalized in Daqin, and the treatment is the same as that of the head of the Daqin—"

After eating, everyone rested in place.

When the twilight is all together.

Han Xin, Meng Zhan, Chen Ping and others led their own army and headed towards the northern foot of Heli Mountain. They will take advantage of the darkness and launch a surprise attack on the Yue clan at midnight.

And Zhao Ying will also lead the army to launch a strong attack along the Ruoshui River at dawn.

……

In the darkness of night, Han Xin and the others, with horses bound hooves and mouths in their mouths, followed the established route and climbed up the northern foot of Heli Mountain silently.Heli Mountain belongs to the remnants of Tianshan Mountains. The mountain is not high and the terrain is gentle. It is a low mountain area with drought and erosion, and the vegetation is sparse. It belongs to the desert grassland.

Therefore, although it is night, it is not too difficult for Qin Jun, who has already studied the terrain of this place.

The only thing to pay attention to is to try not to attract the attention of the Yuezhi tribe here.

Raising the binoculars and looking at the shadowy torches on the top of the mountain in the distance, Han Xin turned his head, observed the nearby terrain carefully, and raised the order flag in his hand with a stern expression.

The team stopped quietly.

"Meng Zhan listened to the order. I ordered you to take seven thousand Huns to attack the enemy's camp. You must persist for half an hour. Within half an hour, you will fight to the death without retreating. Those who disobey the order will be killed! After half an hour If things can be done, then take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle; if things cannot be done, then throw away your armor and flee along the way!"

Meng Zhan's heart shuddered, and he glanced at Han Xin who had a serious gaze.

"promise!"

He himself is from a family of military generals, and he is proficient in the art of war. During the days in the camp of recruits and the expedition to the Huns, his art of war has improved by leaps and bounds. At this time, he has already vaguely guessed Han Xin's intentions in his heart.

While admiring him, he couldn't help but sweat secretly for Han Xin's boldness.

Chen Ping glanced at Han Xin, who was holding his long sword, not angry and pretentious, his heart moved slightly, and he didn't speak.It was only when Meng Zhan was ready to leave with the army that he found a gap, leaned in front of Meng Zhan, and whispered a few words.

"Thank you for your advice!"

Meng Zhan bowed his hands to Chen Ping solemnly, then turned and left.

Although this trip is dangerous, it may not be without opportunities!
He ordered in a low voice to get everyone to lead their horses. Han Xin looked at his actions and raised his brows, but he didn't stop him and let him do what he did.

The army led by Meng Zhan disappeared quietly on the hillside, while Han Xin commanded the army and ambushed on both sides of this narrow place.

Will be outside, military orders are not accepted!

If it was possible, he would naturally not want to follow Zhao Ying's order step by step, but simply attract the Yueshi's troops stationed nearby, to be a qualified cannon fodder, he wants to create an opportunity to wipe out these Yueshi's troops!
Therefore, he chose to turn a blind eye to Meng Zhan's little thoughts.

As long as he can complete his own task, he can do whatever else he can, and what he can do is up to Meng Zhan!

Around Haishi, Meng Zhan finally arrived near the mountains with an army of [-].

Standing in their position, they could already see the shadowy figure of the enemy through the binoculars.At this time, although it is March, the cold wind is still blowing on Heli Mountain, and the air-conditioning is oppressive.

Although Zuo Xianwang has repeatedly ordered that he must strictly defend, but if he really wants to implement it, he doesn't know how much discount it will be.

Originally, it was a hard job to be stationed here, and they were asked to patrol day and night and strictly guarded...

Ah--

Who can't say nonsense, if you have the ability, you can guard it yourself!
Therefore, the orders from above, the orders from above, what to do below, the most is to let the people below set up a few more shifts and patrol a few more times, and there are very few left.

"Now that the Huns are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they find time to trouble our Yue clan? If you ask me, those people above are clearly using chicken feathers as arrows, and they have nothing to do with us brothers..."

In the cold wind, someone patrolled and cursed at the same time.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, who made our leader offend Youxian King——otherwise, in this cold weather, who would be willing to be on duty here? Maybe you and my brother are still in a warm tent , hold the mother-in-law happily..."

Someone on the side chimed in to agree, but as soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of suppressed laughter.

"Third Dog, Third Dog, hold your mother-in-law to be happy, you can elaborate..."

"roll--"

The laughter in the crowd became more obscene.

It's extremely cold on the top of the mountain, and I'm all pointing at these nasty jokes to pass the time.

A group of people were talking and laughing. The man who was cursing just now inadvertently glanced down the mountain. He suddenly stopped laughing, rubbed his eyes with some doubts, and looked somewhere down the mountain in surprise.

"Brothers, look below, does it look like a group of people..."

"Damn you, don't be suspicious..."

The man in front of the team couldn't help but swallowed hard before he finished cursing, and looked horribly at the low forest in the distance.At this time, a strange flame suddenly lit up in the woods, and then the flame rapidly expanded.

At this time, they could already see the figure behind the fire.

Those are Huns men carrying machetes!
"The Huns are coming!"

They couldn't care about anything else anymore, and while running towards the leader's tent, they shouted warnings, their voices cracked a little nervously.

However, it was too late!

Before they woke up, the fire in the distance was approaching at an abnormal speed. As the fire approached, there were also the roar of countless galloping horses.

Everyone: ...

This is a hillside, not an official road!

There is no need to fight, those sharp edges and corners of the rocks can destroy these war horses——

How could there be war horses coming!

But they couldn't allow them to think too much. With the brighter and brighter fire, they had already seen the situation below the hillside clearly.There are thousands of war horses with torches tied to their tails, and they are galloping towards the top of the mountain.

These Huns are simply insane!
They are willing to treat their war horses like this!
Meng Zhan is also a ruthless person.

He directly tied torches to the tails of more than 7000 horses. With the flames together, the frightened horses, driven by the crowd, ran desperately towards the top of the mountain!

He naturally has his own plans, if he loses this battle, what is the use of these war horses?

If this battle is won, there will naturally be Yueshi's horses to supplement!
As soon as the war horses rushed up here, Meng Zhan led an army of more than 7000 people, and immediately followed.

Although it was uphill and the road was difficult to walk, the tails of more than 7000 war horses were on fire, and there were thousands of people clamoring loudly behind them.

The four hooves of the horseshoe made a crisp and rapid tapping sound on the rugged hillside.

To be honest, the defense here is really not simple.

In order to prevent the Xiongnu from attacking here, the Yue clan arranged seven or eight thousand young and strong medium-sized tribes here to guard it. However, who can stop the seven or eight thousand mad horses?

Who dares to stop seven or eight thousand crazy war horses!
Even if you are condescending, you dare not——

So, they ran away one after another, but how could their two legs escape this group of crazy war horses?Except for a very few people who were quick to grab a war horse and ran down, countless people were directly knocked to the ground by these war horses, and stepped on countless hooves.

What was even more frightening was that those war horses with torches tied to their tails rushed to the tent and hit the torches. Soon, the entire tribal camp became a sea of ​​flames!
Heli Mountain has become a purgatory on earth.

From far away, you can smell the disgusting smell of burnt flesh...

Take Heli Mountain without a single soldier.

The speed is unbelievably fast, but the price is a bit high, more than 7000 horses——

When Han Xin got the news, the corners of his eyes twitched and he looked at Meng Zhan several times.The art of war deduction is not real, it seems that I still underestimated the ruthlessness of this old opponent.

But, no matter what, this is a hearty victory, and the task has already been overfulfilled.

No need to think too much, Han Xin immediately gave the order to follow the trend!
What is the purpose of attracting troops?
Isn't it just to create opportunities for the main force to enter the Hexi Corridor?
Now we are in!

"kill--"

At this time, the child's time has not yet arrived.

Han Xin, Meng Zhan and Chen Ping, leading an army of [-], pursued along the road.The Yuezhi people who are still in shock, how can they bother to observe how many enemies are behind them?
The wolf ran to the Zhitu, and ran away with its head in its arms.

……

In the distance, Zhao Ying, who had been waiting for dawn to attack, saw the fire on the mountain top that lit up half the sky, couldn't help but twitched his eyes, and jumped up directly.

"Pass me the order, the whole army is ready, set off immediately!"

It doesn't matter if the order changes from day to day, on the battlefield, opportunities are fleeting.Teammates have created opportunities for themselves. If they are stubborn and cannot seize them, then it is a real crime!

The fire on the top of Heli Mountain touched the heartstrings of many people.

No one needs to be notified, the nearby Yuezhi army will know that there is a big problem on Heli Mountain!

At this time, they no longer cared about those small calculations, and sent people to support them, not only the Yuezhi tribe living on the bottom of the nearby valley, but even the army responsible for guarding Ruoshui had to mobilize some people.

If there is a mistake in Heli Mountain, there is no point in guarding Ruoshui!
For a moment, the horses neighed, the torches flickered, and Heli Mountain was the focus of attention.
