The last three kingdoms

Chapter 820 Detour
The Xiongnu General Chang Hai was in charge of the two military operations to the east. The Xiongnu army progressed very smoothly today. Within a day, they advanced more than ten miles, basically encountering no resistance.

Chang Hai is very satisfied with such a result of the battle. Now the Shu army basically has nothing else to do except escape. They dare not confront the Huns at all. God, it is bound to be able to go straight to the lair of the Shu army.

A smile appeared on the corner of Chang Hai's mouth. Among the seven armies, the two east routes are progressing the most smoothly. As long as Liu Yuan's order is followed and the task is completed first, Liu Yuan's reward will be extremely generous. , To be promoted to an official rank is just around the corner.

However, when looking forward to the future, Chang Hai seemed to feel that there was something wrong there, as if something important had been forgotten, but he couldn't remember it after thinking about it over and over again.

"General, today's rations haven't arrived yet, is there something wrong?" said one of the generals under his command.

Chang Hai slapped his thigh, and then he remembered that today was supposed to be the time for the arrival of grain and grass, but the stipulated time had passed, and the grain truck had not been seen yet.

"That's right, I said I forgot something important. It turned out to be food, and it hasn't been delivered yet. You lazy guys!"

Chang Hai was complaining when a soldier reported to him: "General, there is thick smoke rising twenty miles to the east."

Chang Hai was startled, and raised his eyes to look east, and sure enough, he saw thick smoke billowing in the sky to the east, and the rising smoke almost covered half of the sky to the east.

"General, the place where the thick smoke rises seems to be Dongjian Valley, the only way for our army ration team to pass. Could it be that there is something wrong with the rations transported?" The general Qianfu was a little worried.

When he said this, Chang Hai's brows were furrowed. Indeed, from the point of view, it was the direction of Dongjian Valley. Such a big smoke would only have such a big momentum unless all the grain trucks were ignited. It seems that Something really happened to the ration team.

Chang Hai didn't say anything, and immediately mobilized [-] cavalry, and rushed towards Dongjian Valley.

The distance of twenty miles, if it were cavalry, was just a short distance away, Chang Hai quickly arrived at Dongjian Valley.

The ground was in a mess, and the corpses of the Huns were lying all over the place. Almost 2000 people who escorted food and grass died in this valley.Those grain carts had already been reduced to ashes, and the embers were still burning slowly, emitting a little smoke.

Chang Hai's scalp suddenly went numb, who did it?

But apart from the corpses of the Huns, nothing was found in this place, so it was impossible to know what happened.

The grain cart was attacked, it seems that there is no other possibility except the Shu army, but the Shu army has been staying in the encirclement of the Xiongnu army, and they don't have wings, how could they pass the Xiongnu silently The encirclement of the army came to the rear?
Chang Hai couldn't figure it out, so he sent scouts to investigate, but within ten miles, he didn't find any traces, what a hell.

Unable to find out the reason, Chang Hai was confused, but more than 2000 people were killed in one battle. Chang Hai did not dare to hide such a major event, so he reported it to Liu Yuan immediately.

Attacking the Huns' grain carts was just a side dish. If Liu Yin wanted to make a name for himself on the outside, he had to make a bigger noise. Only in this way could he attract the attention of the Huns and attract more Huns to come back for help. , thus completely breaking the Huns' encirclement and suppression of the base area.

Liu Yin set his sights on Zhangzi County in the northeast direction, and decided to implement a strategic detour to attack Zhangzi County.

The eldest son county is also the territory of the Jie people, but compared with the Nie county and Guyuan that were attacked at the beginning, there are only a thousand or eight defenders left in the eldest son county, and their strength is not as good as before.

When Shibao went south, he mobilized more than 1000 troops from each county, and Changzi County was no exception. Liu Yuan also ordered another [-] soldiers to be mobilized from all counties to participate in the encirclement and suppression operation. , Naturally, the eldest son's defenders were depleted.

However, Liu Yuan didn't care about the safety of these county towns at all. At present, the Xiongnu army is attacking from all directions, and has formed an iron wall encirclement. It is impossible for the Shu army to break through such an encirclement anyway, so they are in the rear. There are basically no hidden dangers in Zhangzi County, and only more than 1000 people are left to guard, so there should be no problems.

But Liu Yuan never expected that Liu Yin would lead his troops to break through his defense network, not only attacking the food transportation team, but also directly extending his hand to the eldest son county.

Originally, Liu Yin was going to play tricks like sneak attacking Nie County, but when he led his troops to the Changzi County, Liu Yin found that the gates of the Changzi County were closed and heavily guarded, and there was no chance of a sneak attack at all.

Since the sneak attack is unsuccessful, let's attack by force. Anyway, Liu Yin's goal is to take the eldest son county, no matter what method is used to achieve this goal.

When the Jie army guarding the city heard the news of the Shu army's attack on the city, all of them were frightened. First, the Shu army was like a magic soldier descending from the sky, and somehow killed it outside the city of Changzi County; Outside, they had already slaughtered three cities occupied by the Jie people, leaving no one alive. Even the chief of the Jie people, Stone Leopard, died in their hands. Such a "cruel" behavior naturally made these Jie soldiers terrified.

However, they were afraid, but the Jie soldiers who defended the city did not lose their courage to fight. Thinking of the tragedy after the city was broken, these Jie soldiers naturally did not dare to slack off. Fighting, because no one is willing to die, maybe there is still life to guard the eldest son, but once they lose, they will die without a place to die.

Liu Yin did not use firearms. Now firearms have become scarce and cannot be replenished. If you use one, you will lose one. Liu Yin naturally saves these firearms for more important battles or major crises in the future. There is no need to use firearms at all to attack a city where the enemy and the enemy have a ratio of one to five troops.

The Shu army's offensive was quite fierce. Under the cover of arrows, the soldiers of the Shu army climbed towards the city wall with simple ladders.The Jie people resisted desperately, and the battle between the two sides was quite stalemate for a time, but the Shu army, which had the upper hand in terms of strength, still had the upper hand. After more than an hour of strong attack, they finally tore a hole in the section of the southern city wall.
