The last three kingdoms

Chapter 869

This attack was somewhat different from what Hu Yanlang expected. Originally, Hu Yanlang saw that the Shu army was in a loose formation, and thought it was an opportunity to catch the Shu army by surprise. slumped.

But I didn't expect that although the Shu army was unprepared, it was still a hard-to-bite hedgehog. Even if the Huns surrounded them, they couldn't swallow them. How many years have Huyanlang fought, and he has never seen such a fierce Our army, divided and surrounded, can still resist to the end.

To make matters worse, the reinforcements from the Shu army came faster than expected. Under the combination of inside and outside, it was not easy for the Xiongnu cavalry who attacked, let alone get the results of the battle, and even retreated completely.

Killing [-] enemies and losing [-] to oneself is already a terrible battle. The cavalry of the Xiongnu killed [-] enemies but lost more than [-] to themselves, which can only be regarded as a complete defeat.

Of course, this is not the worst. What's worse is that the attack of the Huns' cavalry completely annoyed the Wudang Flying Army. When the Wudang Flying Army began to attack with revenge, the entire Xinkouguan Hu Yanlang's defense line became precarious, and with the Yang'an Army helping the flames, Hu Yanlang realized that Xinkou Pass might not be able to hold.

While Hu Yanlang was still calculating how to retreat from the enemy, he suddenly received a report from the Huns behind: "General Qi, something is wrong. A large number of Shu troops have been found in the south of the city and are attacking Guancheng!"

"Ah?" Hu Yanlang was stunned. Xinkou Pass was originally located at the junction of two mountains, and there were relatively steep mountains on the left and right. The troops were all deployed in the north of the city, but now there is a brigade of Shu troops in the south of the city, how can they resist the emptiness?

Even though Hu Yanlang was thinking about it, he couldn't figure out where the Shu army came from.

In fact, for Huyanlang and other Huns, Mount Wutai to the east of Xinkou and Mount Ningwu to the west of Xinkou were insurmountable natural dangers. As far as it is concerned, it is just a few mud pellets. Dangerous peaks like Daxue Mountain have been trampled by the Shu army. How can these small hills stop the advance of the Shu army.

Zhuge Shang led the White Emperor's army to find a small road from Ningwu Mountain on the right side of Xinkou, quickly crossed the mountain, went around the back of Xinkou Pass, and launched an attack on Xinkou Pass.

Originally, the Wudang Fei Army and Yang'an Army had already caused considerable trouble to the Huns in the north, but the Baidi Army stabbed them in the back, making it even worse for Hu Yanlang, making it difficult to continue.

"General Huyan, let's break out of the encirclement, if the fight continues, if Xinkou can't hold on, our entire army will have to be wiped out!" The lieutenant suggested anxiously to Huyanlang.

Hu Yanlang was also very entangled in his heart. He was deeply respected by Liu Yuan, so he was assigned to fear. Hu Yanlang knew very well what the loss of Xinkou meant. How disappointed?

However, as the lieutenant general said, the offensive of the Shu army is very fierce now. If the fight continues like this, Xinkou will certainly not be able to defend, and even their lives may be handed over here. Liu Yuan blamed him, but at least his sister Hu Yanshi came to protect him from losing his head.

After learning from the pain, Hu Yanlang could only make up his mind and order to break through.

The Xinkou Pass has already become a mess. Many Xiongnu soldiers are like headless chickens running around the city without seeing their generals or generals. Even if Hu Yanlang wants to break through, now he wants to completely It is already impossible to gather the subordinates.

Moreover, in terms of time, it was already too late. Since Hu Yanlang withdrew from the Beicheng position, facing the fierce attack of the Shu army, the defenders who stayed on the city were already unable to resist the enemy, and the city wall had been destroyed by the Shu army. What has been breached, the situation has become urgent.

Hu Yanlang didn't care much anymore, and led thousands of remnants to fight all the way from the south gate.

As soon as they left the south gate, they fought an encounter with Zhuge Shang's Baidi army. The Huns broke through desperately. After paying a heavy price, they finally broke a bloody road and fled south.

Not far to the south of Xinkou Pass is Jiuyuan, the city of Xinxing County. After Hu Yanlang escaped from Xinkou, he fled to Jiuyuan, trying to revive his troops in Jiuyuan, and then think about counterattacking.

After repeated defeats, the number of soldiers and horses around Hu Yanlang has become less and less, and he can't even make up a thousand soldiers. When he arrived at the foot of Jiuyuan City, he was exhausted and exhausted.

At this moment in Jiuyuan City, the city gates were closed, the suspension bridge was suspended high, and there was not even a single person seen on the empty city.Hu Yanlang's mouth is dry and hungry at the moment, and he is eager to go to the city to have a full meal first. The gate of Jiuyuan City is closed, which is not beyond Hu Yanlang's expectation. After all, the fierce battle at Xinkou Pass is raging ahead. Therefore, Jiuyuan City must also be on guard.

Hu Yanlang went straight to the bottom of the city and ordered someone to call for the door, but after shouting for a long time, there was no movement in the city, and the sleepy and exhausted Xiongnu soldiers couldn't help cursing.

Hu Yanlang rode his horse to the side of the moat, and shouted loudly at the top of the city: "I am the champion general Hu Yanlang, so open the city quickly!"

At this time, countless soldiers suddenly poured out from the city, and all of them looked like Shu soldiers. The first general, with silver armor and red robes, and a white face and black beard, was the governor of the left army, Fu Qian. He laughed and said, "Hu Yan Lang, right, Fu has been waiting here for a long time."

It turned out that during the fierce battle at Xinkou Pass, Fu Qian had already led the Guanzhong army around in circles, bypassed Wutai Mountain, and rushed to the foot of Jiuyuan City. In order to guard Xinkou Pass, Hu Yanlang almost emptied all the troops in the rear. Jiuyuan City was almost an empty city, and Fu Qian took Jiuyuan City without any effort.

Fu Qin had decided that after Hu Yanlang was frustrated at Xinkou, he would vote for Jiuyuan, so he closed the gate of Jiuyuan City, concealed people and horses on the city, and waited for Huyanlang to get close to the city before making trouble. A soldier who knew the Hun dialect reported to Fu Qian, and Fu Qian showed his face.

Hu Yanlang spoke the language of the Xiongnu, but he could also understand Chinese. Seeing that the Shu army had already captured Jiuyuan City, he couldn't help being a dead soul, and turned his horse's head hastily, trying to escape land.

But how could Fu Qian allow him to escape, with an order, arrows rained like rain, and no matter how fast Hu Yanlang's horse ran, he was determined not to be able to outrun the bow and arrow. As a result, Hu Yanlang had just ran dozens of steps, and the arrows of the Shu army were already After catching up, almost all the archers were aiming at Hu Yanlang's back. In an instant, countless arrows had already submerged him.
