Chapter 068 The Battle of Lingzhou

Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, and Hu Zhen, who had achieved great results, counted their own troops and saw that their losses were relatively small. After sending messengers to report back, they took advantage of the victory and pursued them with a wave of their hands.

In this way, the four of them followed the escape route of the 5 western Xianbei remnants and divided their forces to attack many Xianbei tribes. They achieved great success. On May 2, they retreated to Wuwei and sent a messenger to Jincheng.

Of course, the messengers who reported to Huangfu Chong were the first batch of messengers sent by Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue and Hu Zhen after their victory, so Huangfu Chong did not know about Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue and Hu Zhen. What happens next.

But since the victory, Huangfu Chong no longer cared about Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, and Hu Zhen. Instead, he looked at Lingzhou. He did not expect that Gan Ning defended Lingzhou under the attack of the Southern Huns. state.

Instead, five men, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and Zhao Yun, and nearly 30,000 troops appeared around Zhenlin, defeated the Southern Huns and occupied the Han tent in Nandan Yuting.

As mentioned before, Gan Ning led 5000 imperial troops and set out on April 4th, arriving at Yuwei on the 19st. On the 21th, he went to Yingyin to change horses to avoid the sandstorm, and did not arrive in Lingzhou until the 24th.

As a result, before Gan Ning could find anyone to inquire about the news in Lingzhou, the Southern Huns came. Gan Ning, who had eaten a butt of sand, was angry, so he naturally turned his anger on the Southern Huns.

Gan Ning immediately asked the imperial guards to lure the sandstorm over and open the protective shield. The Southern Huns who were attacked by the sandstorm wanted to fight to the death at first.

However, Gan Ning's example and the high fighting spirit of the Imperial Guards frightened the Southern Huns general who was in charge this time, and he decided to retreat.

After seeing the protective shield again, the Southern Huns general completely extinguished his restless heart and gave up completely. He lost more than 1000 men and horses before escaping from the sandstorm.

So the question arises, why did Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun, who were attacked by the sandstorm, appear around Zhenlin and occupy the Han tent of Nandan Yuting?

The matter naturally begins before the disappearance of Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Bang, Fan Chou and Zhao Yun.

As mentioned before, after Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, and Hu Zhen left, Huangfu Chong transferred Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou to take Dong Zhuo's original 2 horses, and Zhao Yun took 5000 imperial troops. They were ordered to rush from Jincheng to Lingzhou in Beidi County. After gathering on March 3, they led the troops out of the city on March 23.

On March 3, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun went to Yuwei, to Yingyin on April 28, and to Sanshui on April 4. Then they encountered a sandstorm and got lost. Lost contact with Huangfu Chong.

In fact, although Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun encountered a sandstorm after setting off from Sanshui on April 4, they quickly used the Imperial Forest Army to escape from the sandstorm.

And in order to prevent the sandstorm from affecting the supply convoys in the coming days, Zhao Yun asked the Royal Forest Army to control the sandstorm and move up.

Therefore, the sandstorm that Gan Yun and the Southern Huns ate was the one that Zhao Yun led up.

After breaking out of the sandstorm, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun continued to advance with 2 troops, but they forgot that because they had to break out of the sandstorm, their direction had already been changed from north to east.

On April 4, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Bang, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun arrived at the lake next to Sheyan.

Because the five of them had never been here before, even the people from Liangzhou had never been here, so the five of them decided to rest for one night and replenish fresh water before moving on.

On the morning of April 4th, after the sun confirmed that they were heading northeast, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun continued to move forward. On the 19th, they arrived a hundred kilometers outside the city and grazed with a group of people. What happened to the Southern Huns.

After a battle, the Southern Huns were naturally defeated and surrendered. After interrogating the survivors, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun learned that they were actually in the hinterland of the Huns.

Recalling the safe journey on the road, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun shouted good luck. After feeling lucky, they naturally discussed what to do next.

Run away or... fight?

To escape, it is natural to return to the same place. Even because the road is familiar, it only takes 2 days to reach the lake.

What about a fight?

Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun were not fools. After the plan was finalized, they were also given a map, which included the Southern Huns' tooth tents and four Xianbei activity areas. .

They opened the map and found that the southern Huns' tent was less than 5 kilometers away from them. If they moved forward at full speed, it would only take days!

As we all know, the Southern Huns have not built city defenses since the Zhongyuan Dynasty, and the original city defenses have not been repaired. In addition, the Southern Huns Yazhang is located in the hinterland of the Southern Huns. Although there are many defenders, they must be fewer than them. Twenty-five thousand people.

The answer is obviously obvious. There is no reason to give up on the war achievements that can be obtained with bare hands, not to mention that although these five people are wise generals, they are all reckless men.

After discussing this point, the five people immediately decided to set off. In just two days, on April 2, they arrived at Zhenlin. On the evening of April 4, they entered the southern Huns' tent and the war was imminent.

In the tent of the Southern Huns, Yufuluo and Huchuquan were sleeping, never expecting that they would be attacked in the hinterland.

Moreover, in the first wave of attacks alone, their perimeter was lost. After the second wave of infantry charges and fighting, under the personal leadership of Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou, the southern Huns' defense line was easily broken through.

Zhao Yun and the Royal Forest Army marched straight in and rushed towards Shan Yu's tooth tent. Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan's guards rushed forward to arrive, but under Zhao Yun's superb Lihuo Transformation Dragon Spear, no one could stop him, even when he woke up and appeared in court Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan, who were fighting, also turned into dead souls under the gun.

Although Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan died, it did not mean the end of the battle. The Southern Huns still persisted in fighting, and they did not give up until noon on April 4.

Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun did not pursue them. They took the time to rest and retreated to Lingzhou on May 5.

From April 4th to April 29th, the news that the Yazhang of the Southern Huns was attacked and that Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan were beheaded spread throughout the grassland, and the Southern Huns were suddenly panicked.

From May 5st to May 1th, the news reached Liangzhou and Xifu. Liangzhou was suddenly inspired and joined the army.

Huangfu Chong, who sent a messenger to learn about this, met up with Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, and Hu Zhen on the way, and immediately rushed to Lingzhou to meet up with Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun. , so far the Liangzhou Campaign ended.

The battle ended with the destruction of Xianbei in the west, and the rest of the army moved northward. A large number of southern Huns surrendered, and a small group of southern Huns entered Gaolang from the upper group, marking the end.
