Chapter 435 Chasing the Huns
Chapter 442 Chasing the Huns
"Come here, and immediately report the Huns' movements to the general. If Modu leaves at this time, it will not be a waste of all previous efforts. Modu's move is nothing more than trying to lure me out of the city to fight. Then follow his will I, the Nine Plains Army, have never been afraid of the barbarians of the Huns!"

There was a sudden fierce look in everyone's eyes, and they sneered.

"Exactly! My Jiuyuan Army has never been afraid of these vulgar Huns and barbarians. Let me wait to lead the army to fight against the Huns and barbarians. I will definitely delay this Maodu." The eyes of the generals suddenly shot excitedly, Asked loudly.

More than [-] Xiongnu troops marched towards Chaoyang, gave up the siege of Jicheng and headed towards Yuyang County without looking back.

Jicheng is the only fortified city in the entire frontier of Qin and Liaodong.

Although Yuyang County is also an important city in the north of the Qin State, Li Xin did not modify it too much due to limited conditions. As a result, there is basically no strong city in Liaodong except for Jicheng.

Not only were the city walls low, there were no large-scale repeating crossbows.

The Huns may not be very clear about this, but the generals of the Nine Plains Army are all like mirrors in their hearts.

As long as the Huns break into Yuyang, it can basically be said that the entire northern border of Da Qin is unstoppable.

With the mobility of the Huns cavalry.It is even possible to go all the way north and then go south. Many counties and counties in Qin State in Liaodong have basically become the meat of the Huns.

Everyone knows that the war must be fought.Even if it was a tragic victory, the Xiongnu army of hundreds of thousands could never be allowed to leave like this.

"All the scouts in the city leave the city immediately. Explore the surrounding area for fifty miles." Looking at the Hun cavalry that had gone away, the former general Meng Hong turned around and looked at the Jiuyuan Army generals behind him and said in a solemn voice: "Listen to the orders, all generals! "

"The last will obey!"

All the generals of the Nine Plains Army looked solemn, clasped their fists and shouted in unison.

"General Wang Xu, lead [-] original soldiers to garrison the city."

"General, I obey!" Wang Xu was the middle-aged general who spoke before, and he was also Wang Ben's uncle.

"Li Gang is ignorant, Zhao Zhan is ignorant. After hearing the order, the four generals immediately ordered a total of 6 cavalry troops from each department to assemble at the east gate and prepare to leave the city at any time!"

"The rest of the generals command the soldiers of the various ministries, follow the orders, and lead the people to stick to the city. If anyone disobeys the military orders, follow the military law!" Meng Hong's eyes swept over the generals of the Nine Plains Army.

"Here!" All the generals responded coquettishly.

The Jiuyuan Army itself has strict military discipline and prohibits orders.Naturally, it is impossible for someone to deliberately disobey the military order.

What Meng Hong said was just routine.Of course, if someone really disobeyed the military order, it was naturally done by military law.

Wait until all the generals go down to the city to prepare separately.Meng Hong stood on the north city wall and watched the Hun cavalry go away.At this moment, the Xiongnu cavalryman Meng Hong who had gradually gone away could only vaguely see a few blurred figures, and the roar of horseshoes all over the sky was gradually receding.

Meng Hong knew very well that this time the Huns really gave up the siege of Jicheng and wanted to go to Yuyang, but they also pretended to give up the hard-won siege of the Qin army in Jicheng.

To be honest, seeing that the high soldiers in Jicheng City did have the idea of ​​abandoning Jicheng and looting Yuyang and Youbeiping counties on the west side of Liaodong County, Maodun was not stupid after all, even if he If you want to consume all the 30 Donghu cavalry used as cannon fodder, you will not be so stupidly wasted under Jicheng.

You must know that there are nearly 20 Nine Plains Army elites in the city.

It is false because Mao Dun knows very well that as long as he does not break through Jicheng for a day, even if he occupies the Central Plains, it will still belong to the Qin people sooner or later. At any time, most of the troops should be left behind to guard against the possibility that the Jiuyuan Army in Jiucheng might come out to kill his generals at any time and cut off his retreat.

Moreover, it is obvious that the Jiuyuan Army will not really hide in Jicheng because they are afraid of their Hun army.

Then the reason why the Jiuyuan Army huddled in Jicheng needs to be discussed.

Apart from the fact that reinforcements from the Qin people are about to arrive, Mao Dun couldn't figure out why the Jiuyuan Army would act like this.

Even without Meng Tian in Jicheng, no general in command of the Nine Plains Army would have done such a thing that would damage the face of the Nine Plains Army and the people of Qin because of the illustrious reputation of the Nine Plains Army for more than ten years.

But in the face of Jicheng with its tall city walls and [-] original troops stationed there, coupled with the advantage of the Qin army's weapons, Maodun could only break through Jicheng unless he tried his best with the idea of ​​breaking the boat.And that's just possible.

The greater possibility is that after exhausting the Donghu cavalry, his own Xiongnu army will face an overwhelming offensive from the Jiuyuan Army in the city.

At that time, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to seize Henan, but he will also experience his first disastrous defeat in his life.

Mao Dun couldn't afford to lose; the Huns couldn't afford to lose either.

So Maodun would rather withdraw his troops to Yuyang and other ten counties on the northern frontier of Great Qin to plunder, and then Shi Shiran took the spoils back to Langjuxu Mountain, rather than take a risk.

The reason why Mao Dun decided to withdraw his troops half-truthfully, after all, what he hopes most is to be able to draw the guarding Qin army out of the city, and then the two armies confront each other. .

He believed that the Xiongnu warriors under his command would be able to deal with the Jiuyuan Army that had left the city.

At that time, even though the Jiuyuan Army still had soldiers stationed in the city, with one hundred thousand Jiuyuan Army defending the city and tens of thousands of Jiuyuan Army defending the city, it was obviously easier to attack Jicheng where tens of thousands Jiuyuan Army were stationed. Much.

Of course, Mao Dun was also betting that the Jiuyuan Army would not just watch his hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry enter Yuyang. You must know that these counties have always been the base of the Liaodong Army.

If these counties were completely destroyed by myself, it would be difficult for the Jiuyuan Army to explain to the emperor.

It was precisely because of this thought that Mao Dun was able to slow down the advance of the army.At the same time, except for the scout cavalry who were scouting for dozens of miles around, there was no ambush left around Jicheng.

Mao Dun still has great confidence in the Huns warriors under his command.

The scouts of the Nine Plains Army, who were killed by the general in Jicheng, soon fought against the elite scouts of the Xiongnu.Mo Dun, Meng Hong and others received the news almost at the same time.Mao Dun was overjoyed, and Meng Hong was also overjoyed.

The report to General Meng Tian has already been sent out, and now the cavalry of the Xiongnu brigade is more than [-] li away from Jicheng, and the Jiuyuan Army scouts have not found any Xiongnu cavalry around Jicheng exist.

Obviously, the Huns did withdraw completely.

The rumbling sound of war drums that made people's blood boil suddenly resounded throughout Ji City.

Accompanied by the sound of the drum, the east gate and the north gate of the city opened at the same time, and groups of soldiers of the Jiuyuan army in black armor marched out from the opened north gate in neat steps, and then lined up outside the city of Jiuyuan.

At the same time, the [-] Yuan army Jingqi led by Li Gang, Meng Meng, Zhao Zhan, and Meng Guo gathered at the north gate also galloped out at the same time, and quickly moved towards the Jiuyuan army who were still lined up outside the city. The infantry gathered.

A huge number of large continuous shooting crossbow machines were dismantled from the city wall, put on a carriage and followed by a large group of infantry out of Jicheng.

The Jiuyuan Army fought the most with the Xiongnu, and had already figured out a complete set of tactics to deal with the Hun cavalry who came and went like the wind.And they're all extremely effective.

"Wow!"

The desolate horn sound suddenly sounded from the top of Jicheng City.

The [-] soldiers of the original army who had been standing still outside the city began to move slowly in the direction where the Xiongnu army left amidst the clang.
