Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 636
In fact, when the Xiongnu Shanyu sent troops, he really only considered the enemies from the south and west. Both the northern border army and the Qiang people were eyeing the remnants of the Xiongnu.Before the Xiongnu Shanyu sent troops, he did find an expert to figure out countermeasures for himself to ensure the safety of his rear.

In order to ensure the safety of the remaining old, weak, women and children in the tribe, Xiongnu Shanyu deployed troops in various dangerous areas, such as the [-] Huns soldiers in the canyon before, and later considered that Zhang Fei's army was very likely to attack them. Here, the Xiongnu participated in setting up a lot of defense lines along the way, in order to ensure that there would be no problems in the rear after they left.

However, no matter how clever the Xiongnu Chanyu was, he would never have imagined that there would be enemies coming out from behind him.The original location of the Antelope Tribe was actually deep in the grassland. Not to mention the Northern Frontier Army, even the Huns rarely went to these places. Gongsun Xu was living in the grassland. The appearance behind the habitat of the remnants of the Huns was something that even Gongsun Xu himself did not expect.

At this time, Gongsun Xu had already entered the Hu and Qiang grassland area. In order to ensure the concealment and safety of his side, he temporarily stationed all his troops near the canyon. After all, it is not wise to fight with so many livestock. As long as he sent a team of elites to attack the herd of livestock from behind, it would be enough to cause trouble for Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Ran led [-] cavalry to inquire about the news. Gongsun Xu was thinking about how to take down the habitat of the remnants of the Huns in one fell swoop. The war collapsed.

"This place is not far from the habitat of the Qiang people. That is to say, Li Ru and the others should be within hundreds of miles ahead." Gongsun Xu pointed to the map and said, "Go and contact them now, and then jointly send troops to take them down." The remnants of the Huns, there are not many warriors in the remnants of the Huns at this time, so it is the best time to send troops."

Gongsun Xu's idea was not wrong. He sent Gongsun Ran to investigate the terrain and information. More importantly, he wanted to contact the Li Ru tribe as soon as possible. He only had 3 people on his side, which might be enough to take down the remnants of the Huns, but , this sheep will drag himself down instead, which is not conducive to the next battle.

"You send troops to attack my northern border, and I will come out from the rear and shake you up." Gongsun Xu sneered, "Hey, let's see who can hold on..."

"My lord, there is a messenger from outside to report." A soldier came in to report: "The person who came seems to have traveled day and night, and is very weak now."

"Hurry up and bring it in." Gongsun Xu said hastily: "Come on, find a military doctor, hurry up."

Soon, two messengers were brought in. The two men were indeed weak now, and Gongsun Xu could tell at a glance that the two men were the result of overwork and not having a good rest.

"Where are you messengers from?" Gongsun Xu stepped forward and asked, "But Li Ru sent you here?"

"General Gongsun Ran has already contacted our troops." One of them said: "My general and military adviser sent me to deliver a message. At this time, they have sent troops to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Huns. I hope you will send troops as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, the man tore a hole in his underclothes, and took out a map hidden in the interlayer. The man took the map and said to Gongsun Xu: "My military adviser said that when you see this thing, you will will understand everything."

After Gongsun Xu took the map, he sent the two messengers down to rest. He took the map and compared it carefully with the map on his desk, and only after he was sure it was correct did he try to figure it out.

"Calling me Your Excellency means that the messenger doesn't know my identity." Gongsun Xu said to himself, "Li Ru didn't tell others, probably because he didn't want to reveal my whereabouts, hehe, he was quite considerate.

This map records in detail the location of the remnants of the Huns and the distribution of their troops. It seems that Li Ru has been eyeing them for a long time, but he has not done anything for a while. Now that winter has just passed, it is the time when the remnants of the Huns are weakest. If you don’t send troops, how long will you wait? Well, Li Ru, you are indeed the military advisor of the Xiliang Army back then. You are so thoughtful in your arrangements, and the information is so detailed. Hehe, this will save me a lot of trouble.

Ah Ran has led his troops to lurk there now, Hua Xiong should have led his troops to gather in the south of the remnant of the Xiongnu at this time, and let them attract the main force of the enemy army, then I will not be polite, marching quickly from here, at most two days will kill the enemy army In the rear, when the time comes, join Hua Xiong and the others to defeat the enemy, and then capture the remnants of the Huns. "

After thinking about what to do, Gongsun Xu immediately ordered: "Come here, the left and right troops will move closer to me immediately, and the army will gather immediately. Each person will receive enough weapons and four days' dry food. Move quickly.

Lao Zhu, there is an important task to be entrusted to you. I hope you can do it well. This matter is related to the life and death of our army. If there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that I may not have the opportunity to come back at that time. "

"My lord, please give me instructions." Lao Zhu knelt down and said, "I will swear to my death to complete the task."

"Okay." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "I want to send troops to attack the remnants of the Huns. In order to ensure the success of this attack, I can only leave 3000 troops and all the prisoners for you. You must take good care of the camp and ensure that all supplies and livestock I will send back a message within ten days at the most, within ten days, you must lead your subordinates to guard here, how dare you take on this task."

"The last general takes orders." Without the slightest hesitation, Lao Zhu immediately replied: "The last general wishes the Lord a victory and a triumphant return."

After the camp was settled, Gongsun Xu immediately assigned other tasks.More than an hour later, Gongsun Xu led 4 cavalrymen under his command, each riding three horses, with a total of more than [-] horses, and the whole army galloped towards the northwest at full speed.

At this time, Hua Xiong led an army of [-] to march towards the habitat of the remnants of the Huns. He was doing this with great fanfare, and the remnants of the Huns soon got the news and quickly took countermeasures.

At this time, the remnants of the Xiongnu, that is, there are not many people left. In order to ensure that the Xiongnu Shanyu can gain an advantage in the northern border, more than 3% of the clan's elite and strong people were transferred. The remaining people were used to stay in the camp. In fact, The remaining two adult horses add up to less than [-] people, and they are not considered elites in the clan.

Hua Xiong led [-] elite troops to attract the attention of the enemy army from the front, while Gongsun Ran led his army to sneak behind the enemy army by detour. Li Ru was still in his tribal camp at this time. Continuing, it is actually a breeze, he has already made proper arrangements, and now, what he has to do is to prevent those Qiang people from coming to make trouble.

Gongsun Xu marched overnight, and the soldiers under his command were also hardworking warriors. After galloping on horses for a day, Gongsun Xu led his army to the flank of the remnants of the Huns. At this time, Hua Xiong had already fought the enemy.

Most of Hua Xiong's elites were the best of the Xiliang Army back then. Even though he only had 1 people on his side, when confronted head-on, his side was not inferior to the opponent at all. The two armies faced each other for a day in the wilderness. Although Hua Xiong failed to defeat the enemy, he still defeated the enemy for four consecutive battles with his own ability.

In the evening of that day, Gongsun Xu was only 70 miles away from the Huns camp. That is to say, by the time of dawn tomorrow, Gongsun Xu would be able to enter the enemy camp by marching for more than an hour.

All the hard work was finally not in vain. In order to ensure the smooth progress of tomorrow's battle, Gongsun Xu ordered the whole army to camp on the spot and rest quickly.At this moment, Hua Xiong is still confronting the enemy. Although he doesn't know where Gongsun Xu is, he understands one thing, that is, on this grassland, no one is better at catching fighters than Gongsun Xu. Just stay with the enemy in front of you.

At noon the next day, Hua Xiong still led the army to call for battle, and the two sides once again faced off in the open field. During the fierce battle, Gongsun Xu led a large army to attack from the side and rear. The Huns were defeated.

Just when Gongsun Xu led the army to defeat the enemy, Gongsun Ran also completed the long-distance raid mission. He entered the habitat of the remnants of the Huns and captured the Huns Shanyu's family and all the nobles of the Huns. is gone.

"My lord, great joy, great joy." Hua Xiong walked into the tent with the battle report and said with a smile: "General Gongsun Ran, according to the command of the military adviser, defeated the enemy tribes in one fell swoop and captured all the nobles of the Huns. At this moment, General Gongsun Ran has controlled the Huns The old and the weak, women and children of the remnants, but there are only more than 7000 people on his side, should we rush to get closer to them?"

"Hmph, well done." Gongsun Xu said with a smile at the result of the battle report: "In this battle, our army encircled and suppressed the [-] Hun army, defeated and captured more than [-] enemy troops. Arran's captive.

Immediately pass the situation here to Li Ru, let him send troops to cooperate with us, don't worry about the Qiang people now, tell Li Ru to move the tribe to our side, hum, the Huns, the former overlord of the grassland, at this moment , is finally about to be overwhelmed.

Hua Xiong, just work harder. At this moment, Aran really needs help. You immediately select five thousand elites to support Aran. What we have to do now is to stabilize the battle situation. As long as the news from here reaches the northern side , the Xiongnu army must collapse. "

"The last general has already prepared." Hua Xiong cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the last general will go to the enemy's tribe to take care of everything. Tomorrow, the last general will lead his troops to welcome the lord."

After finishing speaking, Hua Xiong opened the curtain and went out. There were already tens of thousands of troops standing by outside the camp. After defeating the enemy, Gongsun Xu sent people to arrest the prisoners, and at the same time ordered to keep 1 troops on standby. After all, at this time Accidents may occur at any time, and it is impossible for Gongsun Xu to let himself fall into such an accident.

"The number of captives is close to 2." Gongsun Xu squinted his eyes and said: "There are only more than 2 soldiers left in our army. It seems that it is necessary to do something to the captives to ensure the results of the battle. Humph, no wonder I am so worried." Cruel."

Gongsun Xu really wanted to make every move right now. With so many captives, if troubles broke out, it would be absolutely difficult to deal with. As long as Gongsun Xu didn't order the captives to be killed, it would be considered the greatest kindness to these captives.
