The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 366 Chapter 365
The flaming arrows were not aimed at the Wuhuan people, but at the dense forests on both sides of the road. As soon as the rocket landed in the bushes, a fire was ignited immediately. After a while, the fire gradually spread , became bigger and bigger, and the flames burned forward along the bushes with lightning speed, and many flames burned from the ground to the opposite side.

The Wuhuan people were startled, and Nanlou was also confused for a while. The strategy he had set up was to surround the Han army, but he was surrounded by the Han army and set fire to them.

The fire on the ground was raging wildly. Only then did Wuhuan notice that there were many small dark ditches criss-crossing the ground. These dark ditches were filled with black liquid, and the liquid burned quickly when it encountered the flames. After getting up, a big fire gradually formed, and some Wuhuan cavalrymen and their horses were burned, the horses neighed, and the voices of the people were loud, with the Wuluo Pavilion as the center, within a few miles, there was a blaze, and the Wuhuan people were Suffering from the pain of burning fire.

All of a sudden, the Wuhuan people turned their backs on their backs, and the horses rushed wildly, making the Wuhuan people who were already in a mess even more chaotic.

At this time, tens of thousands of arrows fell from the sky and shot mercilessly at the dense Wuhuan people. Many Wuhuan people were either burned to death by fire or shot to death by arrows. , but after all, there is no conflict!

It turned out that all of this was Jia Xu's plan.

It can be said that Jia Xu has never believed in Nanlou from the beginning to the end, and Nanlou also thinks he is smart, but he does not want to be smart, so he is used by Jia Xu, unknowingly, leading an army of [-] to Wuluoting , only now the scene.

The Wuluo Pavilion is really a rare terrain, it is like a huge gourd, with a small exit, a wide area in the middle, and the dense forest around it, which just meets Jia Xu's needs.It's just a pity that this lush forest is gone.

Since Jia Xu had someone sprinkle fire oil on the ground and in the woods in advance, the fire spread very quickly, and the fire became bigger and bigger, gradually forming raging fire dragons, opening their bloody mouths, stretching out The red tongues of flames burned all the Wuhuan people and war horses in Wuluoting area.

The screams were endless, and the fire quickly swallowed everything in the Wuluo Pavilion. The woods on both sides had already become part of the fire scene. The Han army blocked the two exits of the Wuluo Pavilion. Just be shot.

The ferocious fire burned everything inside, and the high-pitched screams gradually decreased. After half an hour, the Han army could hear no other sounds except the crackling of the fire. Wan Dajun was completely burned to death in the Wuluoting area by the raging fire.

Wuluo Pavilion, Wuluo Pavilion, seems to have been preordained in the dark. When Wuhuan invaded Youzhou, he was defeated by Baima Yicong led by Gongsun Zan. It was at this place that Gongsun Zan shot his leader off his horse.Therefore, in order to commemorate Gongsun Zan's contribution, the local people built a pavilion at the place where the Wuhuan fell from the horse, and named it Wuluo Pavilion!
Now, Nanlou and the [-] Wuhuan people have been burned to the ground by the fire in this place. It feels like God's will.

Although the hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan people had stopped shouting, the raging fire had not been extinguished. The fire had been burning for several hours before it was gradually extinguished.

At this time, Jia Xu had already told Zhang Yan the news that [-] Wuhuan people had been burned to death.After Zhang Yan learned of the news, he immediately ordered Ta Dun and Su Puyan to be beheaded to show the public, and then dispatched troops, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xi, Gao Lan and other generals, together with Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and other Youzhou troops. General, go to attack the Wuhuan people together, take advantage of this time to completely defeat the Wuhuan people, let the Wuhuan people know where the great Han Tianwei lies, and from then on, they will never dare to invade the world with soldiers.

In addition, Zhang Yan sent scouts to send a letter to Liaodong Hou Gongsundu, asking Gongsundu to send troops from Liaodong to cooperate with the Han army to attack the Wuhuan people.

This time, Zhang Yan personally led the army. He first led Zhao Yun, Zhang Ying, Gao Lan, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and other cavalry first, and with Tian Chou, who knew the terrain of Youzhou well, as his guide, he went all the way west, heading straight for the Wuhuan people in western Liaoning. Shanyuting in Changli, Changli, where the Wuhuan people gather, there are about 30 to [-] people.

However, although the Wuhuan people numbered 30 to [-], they were all old and weak, women and children, and all the real young and middle-aged people were burned to death in Wuluoting in this operation.

The news of the annihilation of Wuhuan's [-] troops had not spread to the Wuhuan people's tribe so quickly, so the Wuhuan people didn't even know the disaster they were about to face.

Zhang Yan led the army and rushed all the way, and when they arrived at Youbeiping, they unexpectedly met Huchuquan, Qubei and other Huns cavalry.

It turned out that Huchuquan, Qubei and others went out to pursue the Xianbei people. These Xianbei people had already heard the news and fled to Mobei. Because Huchuquan, Qubei and others were not familiar with the environment and geography of Mobei, they had no choice but to I have no choice but to retreat.After they returned to Yunzhong, they heard that Zhang Yan was going to lead an army to deal with the Wuhuan people, so Huchuquan and Qubei took the initiative to lead the Xiongnu cavalry to help.

Both Xianbei and Wuhuan belonged to the Eastern Hu, and both were once affiliated to the Huns. After the Huns split, their power gradually weakened, but the Xianbei and Wuhuan became more active. Huchuquan and Qubei wanted to restore their ancestors in the grassland. He took the initiative to go to Youzhou. On the surface, he was helping Zhang Yan deal with the Wuhuan people, but in fact he had other plans. He was afraid that he would miss this opportunity. If he would deal with the Wuhuan people in the future, the Huns would have to bear the burden of the war. It's all over.

Anyway, no matter what the real intention of the Huns is, in short, from the current point of view, the addition of tens of thousands of Hun cavalry to Zhang Yan's army will greatly increase his military strength. , is undoubtedly a very good opportunity.

Therefore, Zhang Yan asked Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei to lead the army to follow him, and the two armies joined forces for joint operations, and the commander of the operations continued to be the regent Zhang Yan.

Since Shanhaiguan had not been built at this time, and the Dahan did not pay much attention to road administration, basically no official roads to remote areas were built, so the road from Youbeiping to Liaoxi was not easy to walk.

According to Tian Chou's geographical guide, there are only two roads to go to the residence of the Wuhuan people, one is to take the "Binhai Road" and the other is Lulongsai.

Lulongsai is today's Xifengkou, located in Youbeiping, at the easternmost foot of Xuwu Mountain, between the two mountains.On the left is Meishan, and on the right is Yunshan.

The so-called "Binhai Road" is located in the long and narrow coastal plain, which is the so-called "Liaoxi Corridor" today.It has experienced too many vicissitudes in Chinese history, and the Shanhaiguan area has always been a battleground for military strategists.However, most of these situations occurred after the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, although this road was also the main passage leading to the west of Liaoning, its traffic conditions were far worse than those of later generations.

In the absence of bad weather, this road will go straight to the inland counties of Youbeiping and Yuyang, but once it encounters heavy rain in summer and autumn, this road will become unfeasible. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the traffic conditions in Northeast China were quite bad.At this time there was no Shanhaiguan Pass, and the area around Shanhaiguan Pass in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was called "Jieshi".Therefore, Cao Cao once wrote the poem "Guan Canghai" in Jieshi.

Now is the rainy season in summer, but this year the weather is abnormal, high temperature, but no rain, the sky is dry, it is the most suitable for walking along the Binhai Road, but Zhang Yan is worried about the rain, once it rains, the Binhai Road will be closed It has become a swamp country, and I can't leave even if I want to.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Yan chose to go to Lulongsai.

Therefore, Zhang Yan led tens of thousands of cavalry to Lulongsai. The cavalry had high mobility and set off in the morning and arrived in the afternoon.

Lulongsai is a city built on the hillside, with three walls forming a "Japanese"-shaped defense system.The outer main city wall is five feet high, three feet wide, and one hundred feet long.

At both ends of the main city wall, auxiliary walls were built according to the mountain situation, and each city wall also had a floor.The one standing on Meishan Mountain is called Meilou, and the one built on Yunshan Mountain is called Yunlou.Starting from the auxiliary walls on both sides, it extends to the farther mountains.

The Dahan specially built a city wall about 200 miles long for Lulongsai to prevent the Hu people from invading.A hundred steps back from the main city wall, another tall tower was built between the two mountains.

The two sides are connected with the main city wall by stone walls, and there are two rows of soldier barracks on both sides, and further back, a hundred steps apart, is the Crescent Tower facing the official road.This city wall is four feet high, two feet wide, and eighty steps long, with a floor above it called Crescent Tower.On both sides of this place are warehouses for stockpiling grain and grass, stables and wooden houses for treating wounded soldiers.

The construction of Lulongsai is very exquisite, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the army can also achieve the effect of advancing and attacking, retreating and defending.

After Zhang Yan led the army to rest for a while in Lulongsai, he prepared dry food and water early the next morning, and officially embarked on the expedition to Wuhuan.

Because, once you leave Lulongsai, there will be no people within hundreds of miles, and if you are not familiar with the terrain here, you may be trapped within hundreds of miles and cannot get out.

These hundreds of miles of no-man's land were specially used by the big Han to defend against the barbarians, and the formation of stone carvings was arranged by skilled craftsmen according to the principles of Fuxi's gossip.Therefore, ordinary barbarian invaders would never go through Lulongsai when they invaded the big man, but chose the Binhai Road and went straight to the heart of the big man.

In this way, Lulongsai loses its defensive significance, but as a military defense system, Lulongsai is still a representative building in Youzhou.

Tian Chou used to be an officer in Lulongsai, and he was very familiar with the terrain here, so this time, Tian Chou was the guide, and Zhang Yan didn't have to worry about not being able to get out of Lulongsai.

Early the next morning, under the leadership of Zhang Yan, with Tian Chou leading the way, the tens of thousands of troops formally left the fortress, and the Wuhuan people were about to face a catastrophe...
