Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 673
On the prairie, a group of about 3 to [-] cavalry rode past. This group of people looked flustered and tired. It seemed that they had traveled a long distance, and they probably didn't have a good rest.

"Go east and go straight to Yanmen Pass." Among the army, Xiongnu Shanyu commanded the troops to go to Yanmen Pass to join the Xianbei coalition forces. At this time, he had lost the main force. He broke through last night, and he completely stunned those subordinates who followed him In his heart, most of the people following him at this moment are his servants, and the rest are desperadoes who want to fight for a fortune.

The Xiongnu Shanyu, who had an army of 10,000+ back then, is no different from a bereaved dog. He has been running for his life since he successfully broke through last night. Although Gongsun Xu did not send anyone to pursue him, he was still worried that he would be trapped again. Therefore, this night He had no intention of stopping.

"Shan Yu, the enemy has not pursued, can we rest for a while?"

"No, you can't rest before dark and move on." Xiongnu Shanyu understood one thing, that is, he has no way out, and he can't afford to lose. He must take every step well now, otherwise he will never be able to recover. day.

This desperate cavalry team continued to move towards the direction of Yanmen Pass. Many of them believed that there was their way out and their hope. At least, there were hundreds of thousands of Xianbei troops there. enemies and interests.

The Xiongnu army is running wildly, but Gongsun Xu is preparing to send troops. There are too many things on the Hetao side, and Gongsun Xu can't finish it for a while. The most important thing now is to rescue Yanmen Pass and drive out the grassland cavalry.

Another night passed, and Gongsun Xu sent people to take down the main camp of the Huns, where a large amount of supplies of the Huns were hoarded. During these days when Gongsun Xu besieged the Huns, Hua Xiong had been ordered to block the main camp of the Huns. On this side of the camp, the Xiongnu army never thought of coming this way after they broke through the siege. Besides, even if they came, it would be useless, they would just enter again; it was just another encirclement.

"My lord, Hua Xiong led [-] vanguards to set off two hours ago." Gao Shun knelt on the ground and reported: "Our army's logistics troops are gathering and are expected to set off in the afternoon. All cattle, sheep, horses, food and supplies It's all ready."

"It's getting late." Gongsun Xu looked at the sky and said, "Zhengfang, I will lead the Chinese army one step ahead, and you will lead the [-] rear army to hold the formation, and coordinate all the food, supplies and civilians, so that the enemy army does not attack the rear of our army." .”

"Your subordinate takes orders." Gao Shun cupped his hands and replied, "Please rest assured, my lord, there will be a final general, and the rear army will be safe and secure."

After a hasty rest, Northern Xinjiang went out again. Hua Xiong led [-] elite cavalry to explore the road, Gongsun Xu led [-] elite troops under his command as the central army, and Gao Shun, Gongsun Xu, commanded the rear army. Such a formation, such a layout, If the Xianbei army knew about it, they would probably panic too.

The Xiongnu army retreated relatively quickly. The news has not yet reached Yanmen Pass. The Xianbei army is trying to make a final fight. The Yanmen Pass defenders are almost exhausted. Ke Bi Neng feels that his side may be able to take it within five days. Yanmen Pass.

After dark, the defenders in the pass leaned on the city wall to rest. Zhao Feng dragged his tired body to patrol the city tower. Hao Zhao was by his side. After a hard fight today, Zhao Feng took the lead again and killed dozens of enemy soldiers. Also hit two arrows.

It has to be said that in the face of absolute power, ordinary ingenuity is difficult to use. There are too many Xianbei troops, and the disparity in strength between the two sides is huge. It is not easy for Zhao Feng to survive until now.

"I can't hold on any longer." Zhao Feng looked at the bonfire in the enemy camp outside the pass and said, "We have held on for so long. Although we have defended the outer city, it has consumed too much of our energy. What should we do now."

"Shrink the troops and focus on defense." Hao Zhao replied: "General, the outer city is already dilapidated, and there are only less than [-] soldiers left in our army. Even if we defend in batches, everyone will have to go to the tower in a day.

The defense line of the outer city is too long, and we don't have enough troops, so there is no need to stick to it.Why not withdraw the defense of the inner city, even if the enemy takes the outer city, what can we do? As long as we are still at Yanmen Pass, the enemy will never attack. "

"The military adviser also said that." Zhao Feng nodded and said: "The effort during this period is to consume the enemy's energy. Fortunately, the lord ordered the construction of inner and outer twin cities for Yanmen Pass. At this moment, it finally came in handy. up.

Heh heh, my lord had the foresight. The Xianbei army thought they were about to capture Yanmen Pass. Tomorrow I will tell them that what they managed to take down was nothing more than a city wall.

Pass down the order to deliver fire oil and flammable objects to the outer city. When the enemy troops attack tomorrow, we will send them a big gift. "

"The general wants to destroy the outer city?" Hao Zhao asked, "In this case, we can only defend the inner city, and we will never have a chance to counterattack."

"Hehe, we've already retreated, so why do we need the outer city?" Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the military master has a clever plan, he has already thought of everything, the city wall is only a tool for our defense, as long as it can resist the enemy, The role of killing the vital forces of the enemy can be given up in the outer city.

Besides, we can play a role in damaging the morale of the enemy by doing so.What they want, I will not give them. What do you think the enemy will think if they see the city wall that they have worked so hard for so long being destroyed by us tomorrow.

Furthermore, I am also preparing for a counterattack. The city wall of Yanmen Pass is originally an internal and external defense. If the enemy occupies the outer city, they will be able to fight defensive battles at that time. This is not good for us. In short, good things must not Leave it to the enemy, go and do things, the military adviser's order will definitely not be wrong. "

"No, the last general will organize the evacuation of the soldiers now."

This night is not easy for anyone, the Yanmen Pass guards are like this, so is the Xianbei army, not to mention the Huns who are fleeing for their lives. The torches moved forward overnight, and their goal was really in the direction of Yanmen Pass.

Xiongnu Shanyu finally found a place to set up camp and rest. He could hardly stand it anymore after running around for days. Judging from the itinerary, he had already escaped from Gongsun Xu's hunting range. You can rush to Yanmen Pass to join your allies.

After a night's rest, the Huns regained some of their physical strength. Although they slept in the open air on the way, they couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well, but everyone still held on. They feel they will soon find life.

After marching for two hours, Xiongnu Shanyu looked at the forest in the distance and said, "Come on, send someone to scout the road ahead and see what's going on ahead."

"Report to Shan Yu, we have already sent five groups of people to explore the road." Chief Wan replied, "I haven't come back so far, I guess I went astray."

"Five groups of people? Why didn't you say it earlier." The Xiongnu Shanyu said angrily: "Quickly, set up a defensive formation and continue to send people to inquire about the news."

The Xiongnu Shanyu really can't afford to lose now, he will be nervous whenever there is any trouble. In fact, it is normal for a large army like them to send five groups of people to inquire about news. After all, they have to inquire in many directions at the same time. Accidents are inevitable.In the past, an army of 3 to [-] people would have to send at least a dozen groups of people to inquire about the news.

"Report,,,,,," a wounded cavalry rode over and shouted: "Cavalry Shan Yu, there are people blocking our army's way forward,,,,,,"

The man fell off his horse before reaching Shanyu's side. When he was brought to Shanyu's side, everyone realized that the scout was seriously injured.

"How many are in the enemy army?" Shan Yu grabbed the scout and asked, "Is it the Northern Border Army?"

"One person, one ride,,,,,,"

As soon as he said these four words, the scout passed out. From the looks of it, he should have fought with the enemy. All his companions had been killed, and he was the only one left with a lucky escape.

"The army is advancing, I want to see who dares to block my way." The Xiongnu Shanyu has no choice now, he must rush to Yanmen Pass to join the Xianbei army, otherwise, he can only become a rogue in the future .

After advancing for a few miles, the Xiongnu army stopped. In front of the woods in front of them, there was a man standing there on a horse, and beside them were a dozen corpses and a dozen war horses grazing leisurely there.

"Who are you, and why are you blocking my way?" Xiongnu Shanyu stepped forward and asked: "I am Xiongnu Shanyu, if you are sensible, get out of the way, otherwise don't blame my ruthless subordinates."

He is not sure whether the opponent is alone or has an army, but it is definitely not easy for a person who dares to block the path of his own army with one person and one ride.

The man in front slowly raised the weapon in his hand, then pointed at the Xiongnu army and said contemptuously: "This is Zhang Fei from Yan, have you heard of my name before?"

"It's Gongsun Xu's general." Someone exclaimed: "He was chased and killed by our cavalry, and then fled to the west. I haven't heard anything about him during this period of time. How could he appear here... ,,,,,"

"Zhang Fei, I have an elite army of [-], do you think you alone can defeat us?" Shanyu the Xiongnu said angrily, "It's too late to retreat now, otherwise, hehe..."

"Although let the horse come over, I, Zhang Fei, will wait."

"There is something abnormal in the woods, there may be an ambush, Shan Yu be careful." A ten thousand captain rode over and said: "This Fei is probably a cunning guy, he wants to lure our army to attack."

"I can see it, but we must move forward now." Xiongnu Shanyu nodded and said: "Since Zhang Fei is using tricks, it means that he has less troops than us, and this is our chance.

If the strong attack fails, outsmart it, and we will make a detour.But we have to leave a group of people to entangle Zhang Fei, otherwise, it may be difficult for us to escape. "

"Why don't you send someone to test it first, and see what the hell Zhang Fei is doing."

"Okay, send fifty people up to besiege Zhang Fei. I don't believe that he alone can withstand my tens of thousands of troops. Heh heh, if he can kill Zhang Fei today, it will be regarded as a slap in the face of me."
