The last three kingdoms

Chapter 769 Sneak Attack on Zuoguo City

With the help of reinforcements, Liu Yannian became full of confidence, and he immediately led the army to launch an attack.

However, the Shu army did not rest this night. In addition to setting up and restraining horses, they dug a lot of trenches, piled earth and rocks as bases, and built a lot of defensive positions, which made the attack of the Huns cavalry countless smooth.

However, no matter how difficult the difficulty is, it will not shake Liu Yannian's determination to regain the ferry. Liu Yannian has devoted all his strength to wipe out all the Shu troops crossing the river in one battle. How can a small obstacle stop the progress of the Huns?
Naturally, the Shu army fought desperately, with arrows raining down and swords and guns like a forest, and built an indestructible line of defense in front of the ferry, blocking the Huns firmly from advancing.

However, what puzzled Liu Yannian was that the number of Shu troops who appeared to be defending was not much different from yesterday's. It stands to reason that after a night of crossing, the number of Shu troops could at least double, but now it seems that the number of Shu troops There was almost no change in the team, which made Liu Yannian quite puzzled.

Could it be that the Shu army didn't cross the river much last night?After all, the conditions for crossing the river at night are much worse than during the day, but this is not a reason.

Could it be that the Shu army deliberately showed the enemy weakness, and then gathered strength to fight back?Perhaps this is the real motive of the Shu army.

Anyway, Liu Yannian was not afraid at all, he didn't believe it, his army was all overwhelmed, and he still couldn't take down a small military crossing?

After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the Xiongnu army had broken through several lines of defense of the Shu army. Seeing that victory was in sight, they suddenly galloped up, rushed to the front, rolled their saddles and fell off their horses. Shuai, the Shu army suddenly attacked Zuoguo City this morning, and Zuoguocheng has already fallen!"

"What?" Liu Yannian was originally riding a horse. When he heard the news, his face suddenly turned pale, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell off the horse.

It turned out that the reason for the lack of soldiers in Shu was here. They didn't hold the ferry, but took the opportunity to attack Zuoguo City. Liu Yannian had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't make it to this point, and suddenly he was ashamed.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

This goes back to last night.

The speed of the Shu army crossing the river was much faster than Liu Yannian imagined. After passing the two infantry armies of the Tiger Infantry Army and the Yong'an Army in the first place, the cavalry of the Tiger Cavalry Army and the Qinglong Army were the next to cross the river. The three giants of the Shu Army Liu Yin , Fu Qian and Luo Xian also arrived on the east bank with the large force.

With the arrival of the cavalry, Gao Yuan and Luo Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were pressed and beaten by the Huns cavalry all day long. The hard days of controlling cavalry and infantry are finally over.

Luo Xian also told Liu Yin that the cavalry could take the lead in the next day's battle.

However, Liu Yin has other plans. Liu Yannian's attack on the first day was frustrated, and reinforcements will inevitably be added to attack again on the second day. If you seize this opportunity and take Zuoguo City in one fell swoop, you can easily establish your first victory since Dongdu.

Liu Yin discussed his plan with Fu Qian and Luo Xian, and Fu Qian and Luo Xian immediately agreed, taking him by surprise and attacking him unprepared, Liu Yin's move was quite high-level.The only hidden worry is that the Shu army is not very familiar with the road environment, and they have to avoid the Xiongnu reinforcements on the road. Whether the soldiers can reach the city of Zuoguo within one night is the biggest question.

It is obvious that Liu Yin has already done enough homework in this regard. In order to enter Bingzhou this time, Liu Yin has sent scouts and spies to sneak into Bingzhou a few months ago, comparing the topography of Bingzhou with that of the Huns. Now Liu Yin has not only the geographical maps of mountains and rivers in Bingzhou, but also the number of troops stationed by the Huns in various places.

From Jundu to Zuoguo City, besides the avenue taken by the Xiongnu cavalry, there are two small roads to choose from. Liu Yin decided to lead the Tiger Cavalry Army and Qinglong Army to march on one of the small roads. Fu Qian and Luo Xian are responsible for the defense here.

All the way across the mountains and ridges, Liu Yin led his army and arrived at the foot of Zuoguo City at dawn. Liu Yannian had transferred all the [-] troops in Zuoguocheng, and now only a small group of sporadic Huns were defending Zuoguocheng. army.

Moreover, Zuoguo City was completely unprepared. When the rooster crowed, the gates of Zuoguo City were opened as usual. The fierce battle at the military crossing hundreds of miles away did not seem to affect this place at all.

Since the Xiongnu announced the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Zuoguo City has become the location of its capital, and Liu Bao's palace was built in Zuoguo City.However, compared to a big city like Jinyang in Bingzhou, Zuoguo City is much smaller in scale and naturally has a smaller population. Moreover, all the people who come in and out of the city are Huns, and there are no Han people in sight. .

When Liu Yin arrived near Zuoguo City, he was not in a hurry to attack, because all he brought with him were cavalry, without any siege equipment, which was only suitable for field battles, not conducive to siege, so it is better to attack by outsmart, not to attack by force.

Liu Yin turned back to Fu Zhuo and said, "Zicheng, you lead a small group of people disguised as Huns and seized the gate of the city." Liu Yin saw that the Huns were completely unprepared, and there were not many soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city. One, he immediately arranged for Fu Zhu to lead people in disguise to attack the city.

Among the Shu army, there were naturally many captured Huns' military uniforms and various weapons. Fu Zhu immediately ordered dozens of sets to be taken, and he found a few soldiers who could speak the Huns' language, and replaced them with the Huns' uniforms. Looking at the gate of the city.

The gate of the city in the morning seemed very deserted, and there were not many people coming and going. Zuoguocheng sent a large army to go out last night, and it was a toss for most of the night. It was not until the last batch of Huns cavalry left Zuuoguocheng in the middle of the night that peace was restored.The Xiongnu soldiers who stayed in the city didn't sleep well. They had to open the city gate and stand guard at dawn. The faces of those soldiers were exhausted. They were a little listless. ahead.

At this time, dozens of cavalry came from far away from the west of the city. Those sentries suddenly stood up straight, their faces a little nervous. When they saw clearly that they were their own cavalry, they relaxed again. When they came to the front, the sentry asked: "Didn't you just leave with the brigade, why did you come back again?"
