Qiang Qin

Although the sky is very dark, looking down from the top of the city in the cloud, you can still see dilapidated tents scattered randomly under the city. Those are the residences of some generals or leaders of the Huns. Those ordinary Hun cavalry were not treated so well. They could only light a bonfire, and dozens of people gathered together to keep warm. With the uncertain light of the fire, the Qin people in the city could vaguely see that they were Eating pieces of jerky.The fact that they stationed under Yunzhong City in such a big way obviously shows that these Huns don't pay attention to the tens of thousands of horses in the city. Although the Huns cavalry are brave, they don't know the art of war and the way to use them. So their soldiers did not set up any formations to prevent the Qin people from attacking the city.

Seeing the relaxed scene of the Huns outside the city, everyone's expressions sank, and they felt deeply insulted.Although the Qin soldiers in the city are no more than half of the Huns, and although the Qin army is not the opponent of the Huns cavalry in terms of combat power, they are not completely incapable of fighting back, but those Huns dare to act presumptuously in front of themselves like this. The Qin generals couldn't bear it.

Han Xin, who had always had a knot in his heart, was the first to say, thinking of defeating the enemy: "I didn't expect these Huns to be so reckless with their superiority in military strength. It is really tolerable, which is unbearable. Let me lead an army to make a surprise attack. Let them know how powerful our Great Qin soldiers are."

Guo Quanzhong was the most prudent among these people, and he hurriedly persuaded: "General Han, calm down, our priority now is to defend this Yunzhong County, and it won't be too late for us to go out of the city to wipe out the enemy when more troops are transferred from Xianyang. Although Now it seems to us that the Huns outside the city are fully prepared, but how can we guarantee that this is not a trap for the Huns to lure us out of the city? So the general has to endure for a few more days, and it will not be too late to fight until the reinforcements from Xianyang arrive. "

Although Han Xin was angry in his heart, he never lost his mind. He understood that what Guo Quanzhong said was very reasonable, so he finally accepted his words.But when he went down to the city with everyone, he gave an order to a soldier guarding the top of the city: "It's dark now, we can't see the situation below the city, you should keep a close eye on it, and look at it at dawn." , if those Huns are like this all night, you will report to me, and this general will reward me." The soldier naturally agreed.

When the people in the city went down to the city, the veteran Bai Ban also came to Maodun's tent and expressed his uneasiness to him: "Shan Yu, our army is under the city of Yunzhong, and the Qin army in the city only needs to As soon as you open the door and rush out, you will arrive at the front of our army's formation. Why do you still let the soldiers rest indiscriminately under the city? Once the Qin people really come out of the city to attack, I am afraid that thousands of people in the front will be killed by the enemy. It’s going to be big. Please also order Shan Yu to order the entire army to form a formation where they can communicate with each other.”

Mao Dun didn't take it seriously at all and said: "Now the Qin people have been scared by our [-] Hun army and dare not come out of the city. How can they come to make a surprise attack? We have always been like this when we fight on the grassland. If we want them It is really difficult to change the original method of garrisoning. I also know that you are out of kindness, General Bai, so how about we do what you said after the warriors rest for a few days and recover their strength?"

I'm afraid that by then the people of Qin would have already seen this situation and sent troops to attack the city. Although Bai Ban thought so in his heart, he also knew his identity, so he didn't dare to say it so bluntly, and since he persuaded him, Shan Yu also said the same thing, so he could only accept Mo Dun's intentions and wait a few days before gathering the army.

When Han Xin heard that the soldier came to report that the Huns were still stationed under the city in a disorderly manner until it was bright, he was overjoyed. He knew that maybe his chance to make contributions had come.Although Han Xin has done a lot of credit for helping Su Li, those were all done in cooperation with other people. Even the most recent time that killed Xiang Yu, he was just a last-minute contribution, so Han Xin did not He thinks how important he is in Fusu's heart, at least he can't compare with an old man like Meng Tian.Originally Meng Tian was ill this time, and it was an excellent opportunity for him to bring troops to rescue the north, but now he was also trapped in the city and could not do anything, which made Han Xin feel unhappy.Now that he has found such a big opportunity, Han Xin will naturally not let it go so easily.But just to be on the safe side, Han Xin decided to take a closer look. If he was sure that the Huns outside the city were unprepared at night, it would not be too late for him to propose an attack.So Han Xin still ordered the soldier to pay attention to the changes of the Huns in the city and report to himself every day.

If so, for three days in a row, Han Xin learned from the soldier that the Huns in the city were just like the first day, they were just randomly stationed in the city, and there was no defense. What he said was ordinary, and now he had a bottom line in his mind, and hurriedly found several other generals, and said his judgment: "Judging from the situation in the past few days, the Huns are raising their spirits under the city. Reserve your energy, after all they have been exhausted from long-distance attacks, so until today they have not really attacked my cloud city. But if we let them recover and attack with their troops, we will fall into a passive position, even if we can hold it I am afraid that this city will suffer heavy losses. So in my opinion, we should go out of the city before they attack, maybe we can win a victory in this way. And I have also carefully checked the The Huns, they didn’t have any ambushes and conspiracy as General Guo said, because they couldn’t do it after ambush the next group of people and wait for us to leave the city for so long. We don’t have such a plan, so if we go out to attack tonight, we should be able to defeat them and leave. I don’t know what do you think?”

After listening to Han Xin's analysis, several people had some intentions. If the enemy could be repelled, which general would want to guard the city.In the end, after deliberation, it was decided that Guo Quanzhong would stay in the city, while the others led their troops to fight out of the city.Even Meng Yi hired a team, and he wanted to wash away his shame.

At the time of the second watch, although it has entered spring in terms of the month, the weather in the north is still bitingly cold, and the Hun cavalry outside the city are already sleeping soundly in their fur robes.But in this cold night, Yunzhong City suddenly opened the city gate, and tens of thousands of well-equipped Qin troops rushed towards the Huns outside the city with a shout.

The sleepy Huns never thought that the Qin people who were trapped in the city would come out, and they were beheaded on the spot by the Qin people before they even took up their weapons in a daze.The hundreds of people in front were so easily killed by the Qin army, which greatly boosted the morale of the Qin army generals who were still a little hesitant. Since the opponent really didn't have any defenses and didn't even put down the defensive formation, let's kill them. Kill all the barbarians who killed their own robes.There was no need for the urging of the generals at all, and all the Qin troops rushed to kill them, for fear that they would not be able to make meritorious service.

Just when the Qin army was about to attack Huanglong and destroy the Huns' central army in one fell swoop, tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared from both sides of the Huns' camp with the sound of horns.They were all dressed in leather armor made by the Huns, wielding scimitars made of bones in their hands, shouting like wild beasts coming out of the cage, and rushed towards the Qin army.

The soldiers of the Qin army only focused on the front. They thought that even if the Huns reacted, they would fight their attack from the front. Unexpectedly, the attack came from the side, and the army was killed by the two sides in a single careless move. The Xiongnu cavalry was cut into two sections like a guillotine cutting grass.The Qin army who wanted to kill them at the back had to face the Huns cavalry who had turned their heads to kill them. out of the cavalry.

Han Xin was at the front, and he was dumbfounded when he saw this situation. The army was cut off at the middle, so he had to fight alone, and the army's morale became a little messed up when he discovered that the Huns had been prepared.Han Xin had no choice but to order people to stop the Hun cavalry who kept coming up from the front, and at the same time separate the troops to fight back, hoping to join the troops behind.Because once the troops in the back retreat to the city because they find that the French attack is coming in and cannot withstand the attacks of the Huns from other directions, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of troops rushing to the front will be eaten by the encircled Huns. .But even though the Huns in front hadn't attacked their own formation thanks to the desperate resistance of the soldiers, they couldn't defeat the Huns who were intercepting behind them, because more Huns cavalry had already moved towards the middle. attack.

Only then did Han Xin of Nai realize what a big mistake he had made. It was because of his unwillingness that tens of thousands of Qin troops were about to die in battle with him.Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly thought of the way Zhou Xing mentioned that day to save Meng Yi.That day, Zhou Xing pretended to attack the Huns' camp and caused the Huns' army to run there. Obviously, the Huns could not enforce orders like the people in the Central Plains, so Han Xin also planned to take a gamble.Judging from the surrounding troops, perhaps the central army of the Xiongnu army is their weakest point. Thinking of this, Han Xin no longer hesitated. Together, they continued to kill the Huns' central army tent.

Now Han Xin only hopes that his judgment is correct, so that his men and horses can also jump out of the encirclement like Zhou Xing that day and return to Cloud City.
