Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 190

For the Northern Xiongnu cavalry, going south from Wuyuan County was like entering a land without people. In the past, because there were many deserts in Wuyuan County and the population was sparse, the Northern Huns rarely invaded Wuyuan County. Therefore, the defense force in Wuyuan County is relatively weak, and no one will realize that the Northern Huns will arrive here.

However, the northern Xiongnu cavalry did not stay in Wuyuan County. Their ultimate goal was the Sanfu area in Guanzhong, because they heard the news of the bumper grain harvest in Guanzhong. As for the source of the news, it came from a certain minister in the Chang'an court. , so it is trustworthy.

Soon, the cavalry of the Northern Huns arrived in Shangjun. Unsurprisingly, there was no defensive force in Shangjun. Then, in a few days, they would be able to pass the Sanfu area of ​​the central government. After that, they would plunder unscrupulously. , Northern Xiongnu Zuo Xian Wang hurriedly greeted his subordinates to speed up further.

"Your Majesty, after investigation, my subordinates have found out several main roads from Shangjun to the Sanfu area. Considering that the soldiers plundered by the Northern Huns were all cavalry, I have already cleared several main roads that are not suitable for cavalry to walk. The Tao has been sealed." Xu Huang stepped forward and said.

"The Northern Xiongnu cavalry came to the Sanfu area for the first time, and the plotter must have given the relevant map. Otherwise, the Northern Hun cavalry would not have the guts to go straight for thousands of miles to the Sanfu area." Zhang Ming said with a smile.

"Yes, so I have asked Master Ma to set up traps on the three main roads where the Huns cavalry are most likely to go, and on other main roads, I have already ordered my subordinates to lead [-] infantry to line up to block the northern Huns going south. The way." Xu Huang nodded.

"Let the soldiers set up traps on other main roads, but the traps in these places can be relatively small, and they will collapse when only a thousand riders pass by." Zhang Ming said seriously.

"Why? There are infantry in formation there. Would the Northern Huns cavalry still go that way?" Xu Huang asked puzzled.

"Just in case, we don't know enough about the Northern Huns' cavalry, and we don't know their specific tactics, so everything needs to be carefully formulated." Zhang Ming said in a deep voice. Until now, the secret guards of the imperial court have not found out the secrets of the enemy. The ministers of the imperial court, and the Northern Huns materials compiled by Jia Xu are all the Northern Huns materials from many years ago. As for whether they are still useful now, Zhang Ming can't tell.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it now." After Xu Huang finished speaking, he left the military tent.

There are many roads from Shangjun to Zuo Fengyi, including the road taken by Sui Gu, the prefect of Shangjun last time, which is also a main route. Of course, Xu Huang also set a trap on this route.And Qi Huan's main route has also set up traps.

In short, traps have been set up on the main road from Shangjun to Zuofengyi. As long as the Northern Huns cavalry come to Zuofengyi from the main road, the Northern Huns cavalry will inevitably be damaged, unless the Northern Huns cavalry walks from Hedong County or from Take it away from Liangzhou, but this is unrealistic.

After another five days, Xu Huang still hadn't waited for the Northern Huns cavalry to arrive. He couldn't help being suspicious, because from the beginning to the end, he didn't receive any news that the Northern Huns cavalry was coming, not only him, but also other people in the army. No such news has been received, or it can be said that, except for what His Majesty said, no one else has received the news that the Northern Huns cavalry is coming.

In fact, if His Majesty hadn't been emphasizing this matter, even Jia Xu wouldn't believe it, because it has been fifteen days since His Majesty started the layout. The conspirators were caught, and as for the news that the Northern Huns cavalry was coming, there was no sign of it now.

"Your Majesty, will the northern Hun cavalry really come?" Jia Xu asked with some doubts.

"It will come." Zhang Ming said confidently.

Zhang Ming already felt that something was wrong with the situation in the army, but he couldn't tell the source of the news. The reason why Zhang Ming came here to supervise the matter in person was because other people had not received the news at all. It won't take long for people to be responsible for this matter, and they will slack off, because without a reliable source of information, it is difficult for people with faith to persevere for unlikely things.

As shown in the life simulator, this disaster came very suddenly, the court had no preparations, and the Northern Huns cavalry directly swept the Sansuke area, and then swaggered away from Guanzhong. This was not only the destruction of the Sansuke area, but also It was a direct slap in the face of the court, so Zhang Ming, who knew the news, could not allow such a thing to happen.

"Your Majesty, the frontline scouts are here to report immediately." Habayashi Wei said hastily.

"Let him in." Zhang Ming stood up quickly, and he finally made preparations in vain.

"Your Majesty, there are a large number of cavalry from the north marching south along Qihuan Road, and they will arrive at Zuofengyi area this afternoon." The scout said directly after leaving the army tent without stopping.

"Did you see how many people there are?" Jia Xu asked from the side.

"It's densely packed. I'm too far away to see clearly, but it's estimated that there should be no less than 1 people." The scout said.

"Fortunately, there are only 1 people. It seems that the Northern Huns are also worried about the cavalry going to the Sanfu area, so they are only afraid of these people." Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief. According to the information, the Northern Huns had a total of more than [-] cavalry. People, if the Northern Huns send about [-] cavalry, I am afraid that the traps laid by His Majesty will have no meaning, and will infuriate the Northern Huns even more. After all, it is still possible to cause greater damage to the auxiliary area.

"Continue to investigate." Zhang Ming let the scout drink water and let him go down.

"Wenhe, I'm not mistaken, the Northern Huns cavalry is really here." Zhang Ming said with some pride, this was the first time he saw Jia Xu's deflated look, so it was a bit funny, but even so, But Zhang Ming's expression soon turned serious.

"Your Majesty, do you really have the ability to predict? Since the northern Huns cavalry walked the Qihuan line, it means that they should not have stopped much along the way. No one left the Qihuan line a long time ago. When Lian Suigu They didn’t take this route, because this route has long been deserted, but the Northern Huns cavalry took this route, which just shows that the Northern Huns cavalry did not want to be discovered by too many people, so they took a deserted road.” Jia Xu analyzed.

After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Zhang Ming knew why the Northern Huns' cavalry had only arrived in the Sanfu area until now, because the Qihuan Line was a deserted road, and it was an inaccessible road. Along the way, roadblocks need to be cleared frequently, which is why the Northern Huns are so slow.

"It would be great if I had the ability to predict the future. The reason why I was sure that this group of people would take the Qihuan line was because I didn't want any place to become a breakthrough for the Northern Huns, even if it was a deserted road. " Zhang Ming said with a smile.

On the Qihuan line, King Zuo Xian of the Northern Huns was complaining to his subordinates.

"What kind of broken road is this? The secret envoy of the imperial court actually asked us to take this road. If I didn't consider this road to be secret enough, I would have changed my way a long time ago." Northern Xiongnu Zuoxian King said to his subordinates.

"In a little less than half a day, we will arrive at Zuo Fengyi. According to the map, once we arrive at Zuo Fengyi, we can plunder." Zuo Xianwang's subordinate said holding the map.

"It's really frustrating on this journey. We have traveled so far and taken such a big risk. If we can't plunder the Zuo Fengyi area, then we have come here in vain and told everyone to let them Speed ​​up." King Zuo Xian of the Northern Huns ordered.

"Yes, Zuo Xianwang." The subordinate hurriedly bowed, and then shouted loudly to the back, "Everyone speed up, and we will arrive at Zuo Fengyi area this afternoon."

The northern Xiongnu cavalry walked for a long time, and finally reached the trap dug by Xu Huang, but how could Zuo Xianwang know that the trap was under his feet, and he still charged forward with the cavalry.

Boom, boom, boom

There was a loud noise, and the ground collapsed directly. The Northern Huns cavalry had no time to react, and fell into a deep pit. There were a large number of bamboo tips piled up under the pit. These bamboo tips directly penetrated the fallen horses. Some Huns soldiers were lucky. Very bad, not only the horse was pierced, but also the horse itself was pierced. Immediately, the horse and the soldiers were bleeding, instantly dyeing the entire giant pit red.

The Huns cavalry who followed quickly grabbed the bridle of their horses. However, as they advanced rapidly and without saddles, many cavalry were even thrown away. For a while, the Huns cavalry fell into great chaos. middle.

Although King Zuo Xian of the Northern Huns also fell into the pit, but his armor was the best, so those bamboo points did not penetrate his body, but under the huge impact, his body was still severely injured. As for the horses, It is now dying.

King Zuo Xian didn't care about the casualties of the horses anymore, he just wanted to get out of the pit as soon as possible and get out of danger. In short, this pit was definitely man-made, and it was clearly aimed at them.Because of these bamboo tips, people with a discerning eye can tell that they have just been ground for a short time.

After an afternoon of rescue, the Northern Huns soldiers who were alive in the pit were finally rescued. Fortunately, the pit was not deep enough, otherwise, the loss would have been more serious, but all the horses that fell into the pit are now useless .

"How about the casualties?" Zuo Xianwang asked.

"Two thousand one hundred horses were lost, and one thousand soldiers were lost." The subordinate said quickly.

"How can there be a trap here? At the beginning, the court secret envoy said that this road was just a deserted road. We have traveled so much, and it is true. Could it be that the court secret envoy tricked us?" Zuo Xianwang furiously said, more than 2000 horses The war horse died in the pit, how could he not feel distressed.

"It's unlikely. The families of high-ranking officials in the imperial court were all kidnapped by Shan Yu. If he dared to provide false information, his family would be dead. Therefore, the subordinates felt that the news was not wrong, but there must have been some accidents in the middle. , That's why we fell into the trap." The subordinate said hastily.

"Accident, I think it was intentional, don't worry about it, since this road is impassable, then we will go on another road. Although we lost two thousand horses, since we have already come, we can't give up the plunder. After the looting is over, we will settle the accounts with the court secret envoy." King Zuoxian said quickly, the loss of two thousand horses would not make him retreat, but now he dare not rush to the front.

Soon, the Northern Huns cavalry turned back. This time, they did not dare to take the main roads marked on the map, and prepared to take the path.

"King Zuo Xian, there are infantry in formation ahead." The vanguard cavalry officer hurriedly reported to King Zuo Xian.

"How many people?" Zuo Xianwang asked.

"There are more than 6000 people. They blocked the road and our army could not move forward. Do we want to rush away?" said the forward cavalry officer.

On such a narrow thoroughfare, the six thousand infantry who wanted to rush out of the formation, unless King Zuoxian was out of his mind, he would never do such a stupid thing. Sure enough, King Zuoxian ordered to turn back again. Once, he had to change another road.

"Report, there are nearly a thousand cavalry resting on the Diaoyin line ahead, they seem to be imperial cavalry." A scout reported to Zuo Xianwang.

"Diaoyinxian? Is it a main road?" Zuo Xianwang asked the subordinate who was holding the map.

"Yes, I heard that when Suigu attacked the imperial court, he took this road. It seems that there are no traps on this road, otherwise the court cavalry would not be able to linger there." The subordinate quickly said, as the military advisor of King Zuo Xian, I know relatively more about the Central Plains.

"Okay, then we will go that way." Zuo Xianwang said again.

Under the command of Zuo Xianwang, all the cavalry of the Huns headed towards the Diaoyin line to the Zuofengyi area. Sure enough, the forward troops of the northern Huns discovered the cavalry of the imperial court.

It's just that the cavalry of the imperial court were somewhat panicked. These cavalry hurriedly fled south on their horses, as if they were a little afraid of the Xiongnu cavalry.

"King Zuo Xian, be careful, the court cavalry is a bit too timid, and the subordinates feel a little strange." The subordinate said quickly.

"Timid, that's not normal. These Central Plains cavalry are not as brave and good as our prairie cavalry. They are just a bunch of ostentatious people. Besides, as you can see, their horses are fleeing directly to the south. If there are traps on the road, they How is it possible to escape? As long as we follow their cavalry, nothing will happen." Zuo Xianwang said arrogantly.

Don't look at King Zuo Xian being so arrogant, but he didn't dare to rush to the front. If his armor wasn't strong enough for the previous trap, he might have died in the pit by now.

Boom, boom, boom

The northern Xiongnu cavalry fell into the trap again. For a while, blood flowed into the pit again, and the screams were so loud that they resounded in the ears, and even the court cavalry who had just left couldn't help but look back.

"Who can tell me what's going on here? When the court cavalry passed by just now, they didn't fall into the trap. Why couldn't our army pass by?" Zuo Xianwang asked his subordinates loudly.

This time, Zuo Xianwang was completely angry, but now he was even more afraid, if he hadn't walked in the middle, he might be the one who fell into the pit now.

King Zuo Xian naturally didn't know that a trap that could withstand a thousand cavalrymen might not be able to withstand the weight of two thousand cavalrymen. As long as one part of the trap collapsed, the entire trap would collapse in a chain.
