Han counter current

Chapter 472 The Oriole Is Behind 2

Chang'an City was more than a hundred li to the west. At this moment, Han Sui led the rest of his men to camp here to rest. The plan to attack Chang'an was a complete failure.

That night, [-] cavalry suddenly appeared in Chang'an City to attack at night. Although Han Sui commanded calmly, he didn't let himself suffer too much.

However, no one expected that there would be another cavalry attacking from the rear of the army camp, and they were still charging at the camp of the Qiang soldiers and horses.

Although there was a burning pharaoh fighting the enemy bravely, unfortunately, the pharaoh himself was not able to survive a charge.Under the command of Cao Jun's fierce general Cao Zhen, more than 2000 Cao Jun crossbowmen fired in a burst, causing heavy losses to the Qiang soldiers and horses.

Na Shaodang Lao Wang was also injured by an arrow, and then he was targeted by Cao Zhen. As a result, after more than ten rounds, Cao Zhen chopped off his head.

The rest of the Qiang cavalry became even more chaotic without a unified command. In addition, Cao Zhen yelled around with the burned head of the old king, so the Qiang soldiers and horses most wanted to collapse.

The defeat of the Qiang soldiers and horses affected Han Sui's troops. In addition, the Chang'an defenders all counterattacked, and the two sides fought in the wild overnight.

At dawn, Han Sui knew that he could no longer defend, so he led the remaining troops to retreat. This retreat meant that the plan to attack Chang'an was completely ruined. From now on, he had no chance to return to Chang'an.

"How is it? Yan Xing, how many soldiers and horses are left?"

"Our army has less than [-] soldiers, and there are only more than [-] Qiang soldiers and horses left. In the battle last night, Lao Wang Shaodang died in battle, and all the Qiang cavalry fled.

Baima Qiang and Yelang Qiang also suffered heavy losses, and most of the soldiers and horses were separated.The hateful thing is that the enemy army has been following our army closely, and we have no time to gather the scattered troops. "

"Hey, that's all. The attack on Chang'an was a complete failure. Fortunately, with so many soldiers, we still have the strength to fight.

It shouldn't be difficult to return to Xiliang. The two Cao troops came too strangely. If my expectation is correct, there must be someone commanding behind them.

Maybe, the attack on Chang'an this time is also in the opponent's calculation.Under Cao Cao's command, I am afraid that Guo Fengxiao has this ability. "

After wasting half his life and rebelling for more than ten years, Han Sui devoted most of his youth and years to his career.

But last night's defeat made him quite disheartened. In just one night, Yan Xing felt that his father-in-law seemed to be ten years older.

It's not that he's getting old in appearance, the key is that his aura is gone, instead of the high-spiritedness of the past, what's there is just a kind of disappointment and decadence.

It's no wonder that Han Sui finally seized such an opportunity to attack Chang'an, and his side had the absolute advantage. Chang'an, which was at hand, suddenly became out of reach.

"My lord, the enemy's more than [-] cavalry are staring at us. At this speed, it may take us more than five days to retreat to Fufeng."

"Fufeng? Hmph, pass on an order to select 5000 Qiang soldiers and let them retreat towards Fufeng with great fanfare tonight. As for the main force of our army, they will also leave tonight by detouring the North."

"Ah, my lord, this, why is this?"

"Hey, Xiliang is no longer my Xiliang. How can Fufeng be so safe? If we can return to Wuwei smoothly, or if we can continue to occupy the area around Jincheng, we will be lucky."

Han Sui didn't explain anything further, since the cavalry led by Cao Zhen appeared behind him, he knew that the Fufeng area was no longer safe.

Although he hasn't figured out where Cao Zhen's tens of thousands of cavalry came from, he believes that since someone has set up this situation, there must be corresponding follow-up measures.

Therefore, what he has to do now is to jump out of this encirclement as soon as possible, and jump out of the enemy's calculations, otherwise, he will be consumed by the enemy step by step.

At night, when Cao Zhen and Cao Chun were discussing how to continue the attack, the enemy camp suddenly shouted and killed, and then thousands of cavalry with torches seemed to come to attack Cao's camp.

In order to prevent accidents, both Cao Chun and Cao Zhen chose to stick to the camp and wait and see.As a result, their delay gave Han Sui time to retreat.

By the time Cao Zhen and the others reacted, the camp of Han Sui's army was already empty.

"Want to run? It's not that easy, come and chase me."

"Slow down, Zidan, beware of deceit. The military adviser said that this Han Sui, known as the Jiuqu Yellow River, is extremely cunning. If he can retreat, he will probably set up an ambush on the road."

"I understand this, but we must not let it retreat so easily, how about this, I will lead four thousand cavalry to pursue, and you will lead the rest of the soldiers to follow.

If I entangle the enemy army, you should come to help as soon as possible. If I am caught in the enemy's ambush, you can also lead the army to rescue me. "

"Okay, Zidan's words are exactly what I want..."

That night, the cavalry of Cao Jun chased the torches of the defeated army ahead, and all the Xiliang cavalry who fell behind along the way were slaughtered.

At dawn, Cao Zhen was still chasing. After a night, both the soldiers and the horses were exhausted, so Cao Zhen had to order to stop and rest.

"Report, general, there is a wave of broken soldiers rushing towards our army."

"Broken soldiers? Where did the broken soldiers come from? Don't worry about it. The whole army is on horseback and ready to fight."

To be honest, Cao Zhen was also very puzzled. He chased the enemy's rout and ran without encountering the enemy's main force or ambush along the way. Now he just wanted to take a rest, but found the enemy's rout rushing towards him.

In a fierce battle, more than 2000 Xiliang rout troops were all wiped out. Cao Zhen also learned from the captives that they had only 5000 soldiers and horses along the way. As for Han Sui, he had already fled to the north.

"Damn it, I fell for it. Hurry up, turn your horse's head and head north. Han Sui can't run very far. Come, send someone to notify General Cao Chun immediately, and order him to join me as soon as possible."

After learning that his side was being tricked, Cao Zhen's anger can be imagined. If Han Sui is really allowed to lead the remaining soldiers and horses to escape back to Wuwei by detour, then the plan to wipe out the Xiliang army will be considered bankrupt.

From now on, Xiliang will not be able to settle down completely.Therefore, Cao Zhen did not allow this kind of thing to happen. He wanted to catch up with the enemy's main force and kill Han Sui.

On the other side, a cavalry force of about 3000 men also marched towards the north. However, this team took a different route. The leader of the army seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of Xiliang.

"Old thief Han Sui, you are good at scheming, sending these Qiang soldiers to die, hmph, I want to just run away like this, it is impossible, revenge for killing my father, this time I must avenge..."

Although the number of this team is not large, there are more than [-] horses. The rout that Cao Zhen encountered before was defeated by them. As for why they appeared here, I am afraid that no one can answer for the time being.

In Guangwei territory, a group of cavalry entered from the northern grasslands. There were not many local defenders. After a charge, the city wall was replaced with a horse-shaped banner. The young Ma Dai immediately set up defenses.

When the whole world was staring at the battle in Hebei, who would have thought that the situation in Xiliang would become so complicated in such a short period of time.

Chapter 473 You Chasing Me 1

Han Sui's strategy can't be said to be bad, at least, Cao Zhen and Cao Chun were both deceived by him, but he wanted to bring back all the more than [-] soldiers and horses under his command, so he must not move so fast.

Although it took a few hours, it was really difficult for [-] soldiers to completely escape the pursuit of Cao Jun. When Cao Zhen found out the situation, he immediately adjusted the plan.

"All the wounded soldiers stay here, one hundred soldiers and five hundred horses, and the rest of the horses are all taken away by me.

You escort these prisoners back to Chang'an, and then report the battle situation here to Zhong Yao, Lieutenant of Sili, and ask him to give him support as soon as possible. "

Thousands of horses were freed at once, and many horses were also captured by the rout soldiers who had just been captured. In this way, Cao Zhen's remaining [-] soldiers could ride with one man and two horses.

After resting for a while, Cao Zhen led more than [-] soldiers to turn forward. Han Sui had already set off several hours earlier, and he had to catch up as soon as possible.

"Hey, this time to counterattack Xiliang and attack Chang'an, I didn't expect it to be a trap set by Guo Fengxiao, it's hateful, for the current plan, the only way is to lead the rest of the men back to Wuwei.

The food, grass and supplies from this looting, as well as those gold and silver treasures, are enough to support me for a while.Since there is no hope of going east, it seems that we have to find a way to strengthen the connection with the west. "

On the horse, Han Sui commanded his subordinates to move forward while thinking about how to go next.Cao Cao was able to lay such a big trap, and after that, the eastern part of Xiliang might not be able to come again.

However, if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you must have sufficient sources of food and grass.Wuwei and other places were too barren. After careful consideration, Han Sui felt that the only way to get through the Western Regions was.

A few years ago, when he rebelled, he thought about the way out for himself. At that time, he had contacts with several kingdoms in the Western Regions. In recent years, he also knows a little about the situation in the Western Regions.
