Qiang Qin

Updated: 2011-01-18

When Han Xin and Long Qie brought 6 people from Xianyang to the northern frontier, they sent many scouts to scout around the north, so as to know themselves and their enemies.Not long after, they found out that the Huns had besieged more than [-] men of Meng Yi near Yanmen County, but at this moment they were still some distance away from there, and if they rushed there with all their strength, they might be defeated by the Huns instead. , so in the end they rushed there at their usual speed.

The generals defending the other cities never sent troops to rescue Meng Yi's army, just because they had learned from the fall of Beidi County, they didn't want to rush to save people by themselves and had to lose the city. Firstly, his own crime was even greater, and secondly, because of Fusu's decree, each of them was ordered to stick to the city and not to fight at will, so until Han Xin came with reinforcements, the doors of the cities were still closed.Han Xin and the others rushed all the way to the northeast, until they came to the border of Yunzhong County and learned from Guo Quanzhong, the guard there, that Zhou Xing had brought [-] elite soldiers to rescue Meng Yi.

After hearing this, Han Xin sighed: "General Zhou deserves to be one of the generals who have followed the emperor for the longest time. He is really affectionate, but he only brought 5000 troops this time. Is it too much? Surrounded by the Huns, I'm afraid even they will be like General Meng Yi."

Guo Quanzhong smiled wryly and said: "The last general also knows that General Zhou's going here is too risky, but if General Zhou does not go to rescue, General Meng's troops will be wiped out, and the soldiers in the city also unanimously went up after learning about this. He said that he was going to save people, and in order not to shake the morale of the army, General Zhou brought troops to rush there. But in order not to follow in the footsteps of Beidi County, General Zhou only brought five thousand cavalry, even if they... I said Zhongjun will also be able to defend for a while." Those who were besieged were men led by Meng Yi, and Guo Quanzhong had only just learned about the fall of Beidi County.

Han Dao said: "General Zhou and the others must have met the Huns by now. If we catch up now, we might be able to rescue them." Having said this, he hastily ordered, "Let the whole army prepare to move, and we must hurry up." In the direction of Yanmen County."

"Wait," Long Qie, who had been silent all this time, said suddenly, cupping his hands, "According to the information from various investigations, the strength of the Huns is not inferior to ours. If we rush now, it may be a hard battle." Ah, I'm afraid that not only will they not be able to save them, but the army will suffer heavy casualties, in my opinion, it's better to have a long-term plan."

"Think long-term? How do you think long-term? Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire, and there is no room for delay." Although Guo Quanzhong was a man of wisdom, he was very nervous about his safety because of the brotherhood he and Zhou Xing had gotten along with over the past few years.

Long Qi didn't take Guo Quanzhong's questions to heart, and said with a smile: "General Zhou is not a man who only knows how to do things blindly. He only has 5000 troops in his hand. If he wants to save people, he can only use tricks, so I can be sure that he will not fight with the Huns." In this way, he will not be in much danger. The real trouble now is how they will retreat to the clouds. I am afraid that the Huns will not let them leave easily, so our top priority is to think about how to Respond to them rather than how to rescue them." Seeing that Guo Quanzhong and Han Xin were listening to his words carefully, Long Qi continued: "I think so, we can send scouts to investigate within a radius of fifty miles in Yunzhong County, and General Han We wait outside the city, and as soon as there are traces of the Huns, we can kill them by surprise. In this way, if General Zhou really escapes with his troops, they will be fine with our support. Second, Even if General Zhou and the others were really killed by the Huns, the Huns never expected that we would deploy tens of thousands of elite soldiers here, and they would definitely be able to defeat them at that time. I wonder what you two think?"

After pondering for a while, Han Xin looked at Guo Quanzhong. Although Guo Quanzhong wanted to save Zhou Xing, he felt that this plan was the safest, so he finally nodded and said: "General Long's plan is very good, I think You can give it a try, I just hope General Zhou and General Meng Jiren Tianxiang can really come back."

In this way, a strategy of waiting for a rabbit was formed, and Zhou Xing also rescued Meng Yi with his quick wit and luck, and fled all the way to the vicinity of Yunzhong County, so that the scouts could see him.At this time, Han Xin and the others had already ambushed in a valley more than ten places outside the city. As soon as they heard the report from the scouts and learned that Zhou Xing and the others had returned, they hurriedly launched an attack on the Huns from this side.

When the two armies meet, one side is waiting for work and ready to go, while the other side is desperately chasing after a series of battles, coupled with complete lack of defense. After resisting for a while, Mao Dun had no choice but to order his men to retreat.

General Han Xin has already gained the upper hand, so how can he let the Huns retreat calmly?So he immediately ordered the whole army to fight bravely, vowing to wipe out the invading Hun army, and Zhou Xing on the other side would not let go of the great opportunity when he saw the reinforcements from Xianyang arriving. Even the tired men and horses rushed up.The fierce attacks from both sides at the same time finally made these Hun cavalry, who had always prided themselves on being brave and fearless, fear, and retreated back again and again.

Seeing that Mao Dun had already lost his way this time, there were waves of horseshoes in the distance.Mao Dun felt a chill in his heart, thinking that reinforcements from the Qin army had arrived, but then he heard familiar shouts, but it was the [-] troops led by Bai Ban who also arrived in time.

Seeing that the Huns also came for reinforcements, so that his own troops were not as strong as the enemy, Han Xin decisively ordered to withdraw to the city. He knew that it was not the time to confront the Huns because Daqin still had tens of thousands of troops. If the army didn't arrive, it would be natural to have revenge.Zhou Xing was also aware of the current situation, so he joined Han Xin's [-] army in time, and then retreated into the city.

Although the men and horses on Baiban's side seemed to be aggressive, in fact, the men and horses led by Mao Dun were generally strong outsiders and capable in the middle. He was also in one place with the men and horses of Modun.

"It's really unreasonable. These Qin people are about to be killed by us. Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of ambush soldiers suddenly appeared at this time. The Central Plains people are really insidious." Bowl of wine, he gnawed two more mouthfuls of the leg of lamb in his hand—he still couldn’t get used to the food he got from the cities of the Central Plains—as if the leg of lamb belonged to those Qin people, and then he asked: “How do you I will rush here, aren't you guys looking at the other side to see if there is a chance to take a few more cities?"

Bai Ban said: "Those cities have obviously received the imperial court's order, and none of the cities sent a single soldier out. I have also attacked two of these cities, but the Qin army guarding the city is blindly defending it, in order not to cause any damage. There were too many casualties, so I had no choice but to bring my men and horses to join Shan Yu."

"Well, it's also fortunate that you arrived in time this time, otherwise I would be surrounded by the Qin people. Since they won't be fooled, we might as well attack the city by force. I don't believe that many warriors like the Huns can't defeat him. A few cities." Mao Dun said.

Ji Du said: "I don't know which city Shanyu wants to attack? Although with the help of General Bai, my Xiongnu warriors have learned how to attack the city, but this Yunzhong City has tens of thousands of soldiers, and it may not be easy to attack. So let's choose another city to attack."

Before Maodu could speak, Bai Ban had already raised an objection: "I think we should take Yunzhong first. If we change direction to attack other cities, the Qin army in Yunzhong City will definitely not look at them. They will also send troops to attack my back, so for the sake of safety, we should first annihilate the tens of thousands of Qin troops in this city and take down Yunzhong."

Ji Du said: "But General Bai, how sure are you that you can break through the tens of thousands of defenders in Yunzhong? You must know that our Hun warriors are not good at attacking cities. They are fighting against the enemy on the plains." strengths. Now that we don’t have the advantage in strength, why should we fight them?”

"That's all." Bai Ban said and picked up something from the ground beside him.Mao Dun and the others looked at this wooden thing strangely, seeing that it was a strong ring with tooth-like spikes on one side and a rope on top, all looked at Bai Ban with doubtful eyes, I don't know why he said that.Bai Ban said: "Isn't Shan Yu wondering why the cavalry of the Qin people became so powerful in a short period of time? Not only are they not inferior to the Hun warriors who were born on horses in riding skills, they can even compete with our warriors in battle. Do you want to compete? Then I will tell you, this is what they rely on."

"What on earth is this thing? It actually has such a big effect." After a while, Mao became interested, and reached out to pick up the thing and looked at it.

Bai Ban immediately led them to the outside of the tent, and brought a horse with stirrups installed in front of Modu: "This thing can support the knight on it, so that he doesn't have to use one hand to hold the horse The cavalry of the Qin State is so powerful. I only found out about this when I caught a few Qin soldiers on the way to join Shanyu. Shanyu just think about it, if my cavalry of the Huns With all these things, will those Qin people still be our opponents in riding and shooting?"

Mao Dun nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and walked around the horse for a few times, but finally asked: "This thing is good, but what does it have to do with my attack on Yunzhong?" This is the key point where it is.
