Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 98 Capture the large Donghu tribe
The chief general of the East Hu garrison saw that the general had been delaying in reporting the dispatch of soldiers, and gradually felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart.Just at this time, I heard the sound of horseshoes in front of me, and then I woke up and quickly ordered: "Send the order, and the whole army will withdraw to the tribe."

All the Donghu generals looked at the main general hesitantly, not understanding why Haohao issued this military order.

"General, there are still [-] soldiers and horses in our army who have not returned. If our troops withdraw, wouldn't it make them abandoned."

"At this time, our army still has the power to fight. It would be unreasonable to withdraw."

"General, please think twice...".

The chief general of the Donghu garrison gradually frowned, and pointed forward with his hand: "Listen to the sound of hooves in front of you, our army of five thousand soldiers and horses has already been ambushed by the Huns and died at this time. Otherwise, why do you still have to fight for it until now?" There's news."

"Lead the order".All the Donghu generals reacted instantly, and then the sound of Mingjin sounded.The Donghu soldiers in the battle ahead abandoned their opponents one after another and ran back.

The Xiongnu servant army just happened to pursue it, but they heard the sound of Mingjin from their own side also came.

A number of Hun soldiers quickly retreated and gathered behind Han Xin.

The chief general of the Donghu garrison didn't think too much, looked at the retreating Donghu soldiers, and then slapped his horse back and galloped away in the same direction.

After walking five miles, there was a sudden shout of killing, and countless Xiongnu soldiers came from all directions.Fan Kuai took the lead and led a phalanx of Huns cavalry to attack the central army of the Donghu defenders.

The chief general of the East Hu garrison was furious. He didn't know how he had already fallen into the enemy's scheme.Then he yelled at the Donghu soldiers beside him: "Kill".

As soon as the words fell, the Donghu soldiers raised their weapons and rushed to the direction where the Xiongnu soldiers were coming. The two armies immediately started a scuffle.

Time passed unconsciously, and the Donghu soldiers' defense line was gradually weakened, and they were about to be defeated.There was a loud sound of horseshoes from behind, and a large number of Hun soldiers rushed over.The Donghu soldiers and horses were completely defeated immediately, and fled in all directions.

Han Xin looked at the collapsed Donghu soldiers from behind, and immediately dispatched dozens of thousand-man phalanxes to hunt them down.An hour later, I looked at the corpses all over the ground.Han Xin slapped his horse heavily on the back, led Fan Kui, Zhang Liang and the army behind him, and headed towards the large tribal camp in Donghu.

Blood stained the ground, and when the last Donghu soldier in the large Donghu tribe fell to the ground, the banner of the Huns' servant army was completely planted on the city wall.One soldier after another began to repair immediately, and at the same time countless materials were quickly transported out of the tribe.

Han Xin and Zhang Liang walked towards the city wall, looked down from the top, and felt a little bit of emotion in their hearts when they saw the continuous delivery of materials to Seoul: "Fighting for more than a month, I have finally gained something today."

"I don't know what the situation in Seoul will be like after these materials are given to the lord."Hearing Han Xin's emotion, Zhang Liang also expressed emotion.

At this time, Fan Kuai came, and his thick voice sounded: "What else can we do? I guess we should add a few more colleagues when we return to the city."

"The heavy city is really exciting."After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he looked at Fan Kui, a smile flickered on the corner of his mouth.

Han Xin looked at Fan Kui, as if he had thought of something, and then changed the topic: "How are things going?"

"Don't you worry about me, the general? The river has been drained by our army, the battlefield has been cleaned up, and the soldiers are counting the casualties. The last general just talked to the person sent by the prime minister. Our army brought the flag of Seoul. After fighting secretly for so long, this time it was finally possible, and it was a fair battle."After Fan Kui finished speaking, he was full of arrogance. Ever since he came to Seoul, he was either pretending to be a Hun or a Donghu.It is rare to light up the banner and come here once.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but let out a slight smile: "General Fan, don't light up the flag too fast, so as not to miss the important event."

"Military division, don't worry, you have endured for so long, and you will be fine if you endure for a few more days."After Fan Kui finished speaking, he patted his chest.

The sound of footsteps came, and a general saluted the three of them: "Report to the general, the losses of this battle have been counted. Our army has more than 23 casualties, and there are only [-] soldiers available for battle."

"Fighting for more than a month, plus today's decisive battle, I don't want to lose so many soldiers and horses."Han Xin sighed, when he came, there was a mighty 30 troops, but after this battle, there were only 23 soldiers and horses.

Hearing the loss, a trace of pressure spread quietly, and Fan Kui's arrogance just now completely dissipated: "The East Hu has more than [-] soldiers and horses, and the Huns have more than [-] soldiers and horses. How will our army respond."

"Once the Donghu army knows that our army has cut off their food supply, they will definitely return to the army with all their strength. At that time, facing more than [-] Donghu soldiers and horses, even if the Huns pursue them from behind, our army may suffer heavy losses."Zhang Liang showed a trace of worry.

How could Han Xin not know this, so he followed Zhang Liang's words and said: "Once the Donghu is wiped out, the Huns will find that our army is not their tribe, and then it will be a real fierce battle."

"Instead of being passive, can our army do something now while the Donghu army has not returned to help?"Fan Kui looked at Han Xin and Zhang Liang unwillingly.

Zhang Liang spread his hands at Fan Kuai: "The strength of the two sides is very different, even if there are thousands of ingenious strategies, it will not help."

"Military division, this is not your previous style. Anyway, we have to do something."Fan Kui continued to question, thinking that this battle would not cause too much loss.When the time comes, the flag will be raised upright, but the thought of it is so aggrieved.

Han Xin pondered and then looked at Fan Kui: "There is only one stupid way, try to repair the defensive position as much as possible, and at the same time be ready for battle."

"It's the same as if you didn't say it."Fan Kui looked at the two of them angrily, and shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Liang patted Fan Kuai's shoulder with his hands: "Our army's mission has actually been completed, and the rest is to buy time for Zhou Bo's troops and the lord."

"It can only be so".Now that there is no other way, Fan Kui immediately sighed.

Han Xin turned his eyes to the soldiers: "Call the servants, some commanders of the Huns."

"promise".The soldier bowed and turned to leave.

Not long after, several Xiongnu servants came over and bowed to Han Xin and the three: "See the general."

"You once told this general that you have a certain relationship in the clan, and you can pass the news to King Youxian of the Huns."Han Xin reconfirmed the news he had received.

Several commanders looked at each other and nodded one after another: "That's true, please give orders to the general."

"I was going to ask you to inform Youxian King that Donghu Liangdao was intercepted through your respective relationships immediately after the Donghu army retreated."Han Xin gave instructions to several commanders.

Several commanders hesitated: "What reason should we inform?"

"Let's say that our 30 soldiers and horses were ordered by Shan Yu to cut off the food and grass of Donghu. Please send troops quickly to attack Donghu's army back and forth."Han Xin told them the excuse he had thought up long ago.Believe it or not, the Youxian King of the Huns, they are the Huns from the western grasslands.In fact, this is not important, as long as he knows that Donghu Liangdao has been intercepted.

Several commanders saluted respectfully again: "No".

As soon as the words fell, several commanders turned and left.An eagle also flew into the sky in an inconspicuous place.
