Chapter 312 The Last Huns.
Chapter 312: The Last Huns.
"The King of Chu is coming! Heading for Xuchang!"
"Zhang He and Yu Jin have already deployed their forces outside the city. I beg the King of Wei to quickly mobilize the Xiongnu cavalry to join the battle!!"
Le Jin's voice, when it fell into Cao Mengde's ears, was like a bolt from the blue!
Liu Wu is here...
Liu Wu is coming to Xuchang? !
"How is it possible?!" Cao Mengde was shocked for a moment, then he reacted: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang. How dare Liu Wu bypass Hangu Pass and come to the Central Plains?"
"Kunyang, Xuchang, and Luoyang are three cities that support each other and are heavily guarded. How can Liu Wu dare to advance without taking down the Yinluo defense line?"
"Aren't you afraid that your food supply route will be cut off and you will be attacked from both sides?"
If Liu Wu really comes, it would be tantamount to seeking death!
"The troops in Guanzhong have left the pass. The King of Chu openly attacked Hangu Pass and secretly attacked Yanling Pass. Yanling Pass was breached and the Chu army rushed into the Yinluo Basin. The soldiers and generals were all afraid of the King of Chu like a tiger. Seeing the King of Chu leading his troops into the Yinluo Basin, they did not dare to resist at all. Wherever he passed..., Hulao Pass and other passes were breached. The area around Luoyang was in chaos. The Chu army had already entered Luoyang!"
"Fortunately, General Cao Ren remained calm in the face of danger, gathered the defeated soldiers, and held on to Hangu Pass, delaying most of the Chu army."
"Otherwise, the soldiers in Guanzhong will probably all rush to Xudu!"
Yinluo's defense line, is this the end?
Tens of thousands of troops were deployed!
It can be said that the Yinluo Defense Line, which is carefully built, is half of Cao Mengde's territory. It is Cao Cao's greatest hope. He hopes that it can block Liu Wu's eastward advance and firmly resist the troops in Guanzhong!
Just like that, Liu Wu easily broke through...
Cao Mengde's back was soaked. He swallowed his saliva and spoke with difficulty: "How is Zixiao?"
"General Zixiao firmly defended Hangu Pass, and with the defeated soldiers he gathered, he still had 60,000 soldiers under his command. However, the food and fodder may not last long. In addition, the morale of the King of Chu was high at the moment, and the soldiers did not dare to leave the city to fight in the field. They could only defend..."
Hearing this, Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, I have Zixiao, who has saved most of the troops for me."
Most of the troops on the Yinluo defense line were still there, which made Cao Mengde feel relieved. Fortunately, most of the troops were still there!
otherwise,
There's really nothing we can do about it!
"After the Chu army entered Luoyang, the King of Chu appointed Zhang Fei as the commander-in-chief and Pang Tong as the military advisor to take charge of the Yin-Luo war. He himself led 10,000 cavalrymen and rushed to the battle day and night. Because the speed was so fast, the scouts did not have time to report back..."
Cao Mengde calmed down a little.
Ten thousand cavalry.
Fortunately, there are only 10,000 riders.
But this army is led by Liu Wu himself and should not be underestimated.
Most of the defenders near Xuchang were infantry, including 10,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and 20,000 infantry.
The Huns stationed outside the city of Xuchang had a total of 25,000 cavalry.
Moreover, with the important city of Xudu as support, they can attack when advancing and defend when retreating...
Perhaps the advantages and disadvantages are not clear in the overall situation, but in the area around Xuchang, it can be said that the absolute advantage is in my hands!
Next, Cao Mengde did not think about how to deal with Liu Wu who had come to kill him, but asked: "Is there any unusual movement in Jingbei?"
If there is no movement in the north of Jing, 10,000 troops can be transferred from Kunyang to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Liu Wu. After all, Kunyang is very close to Xuchang and can be reached in one or two days of rapid march.
Cao Mengde didn't believe that Liu Wu would be so rash. After all, Liu Wu had suffered too many losses at his hands.
Now that we have this opportunity, we must ensure that it goes perfectly!
As long as Liu Wu is annihilated, his Xiling Group will be leaderless and can be easily defeated one by one.
However, Le Jin's answer was: "In the Jingbei area, the latest military report shows unusual movements."
"Zhang Lu of Hanzhong led 20,000 troops out of Hanzhong, passed Shangyong, and advanced eastward to the Nanyang area, where he joined Wei Yan's Jingbei Army, with a total of 60,000 troops."
Cao Mengde nodded. It was true that one move affected the entire body...
Guanzhong moved, Hanzhong moved, and Jingzhou also moved.
"In this case, the troops in Kunyang cannot be mobilized."
"Let Xu Chu attack the imperial city here. They can't escape."
"The most important thing is Liu Wu. Since he dares to advance, I will not let him escape unscathed!" After saying that, Cao Mengde raised his eyes to look at the imperial city, flicked his sleeves, and turned around.
……
……
When Cao Mengde climbed to the top of the city wall, the sun had already set and it was almost dusk.
But the sun had not yet set.
Looking ahead, the setting sun was as red as blood. Outside the city, Cao Hong and many other Cao camp soldiers had already set up their battle formation.
To the northwest of Xudu City, a huge number of cavalrymen gathered. There were more than 20,000 cavalrymen...
The evening wind howled,
Cao Mengde narrowed his eyes slightly: "What does the Xiongnu Chanyu say?"
Sima reported back: "King of Wei, the Xiongnu Chanyu said that if the King of Chu really has only ten thousand cavalry, the Xiongnu warriors are willing to fight him for the King of Wei."
"I just want..."
Cao Mengde frowned: "Just what?"
Sima bowed and said, "The Xiongnu Chanyu only asks that after this battle, the five tribes be given ten years of peace, and that within ten years, no more young and strong Xiongnu will be recruited..."
When I heard this answer,
Cao Cao's mouth curled up with a playful smile: "Gu Yunzhi."
"Liu Wu is about to arrive, let them prepare to send troops!"
"Yes!" The military supervisor Sima retreated.
Cao Mengde looked at the large groups of Hun cavalry gathered outside the city, and the smile on his face widened.
Within ten years, will young and strong people from the tribe no longer be conscripted?
Are you kidding...
Liu Wu wants to destroy you, so I, Cao Mengde, don’t want to destroy you?
In the past, conditions did not allow it, and the Huns were still strong.
It is too troublesome to do, and if we push too hard, we might be bitten back by the Huns.
But things are different now.
The Xiongnu soldiers were about to be wiped out by Liu Wu.
If this battle continues, regardless of whether they can defeat Liu Wu or not, the Xiongnu will be doomed...
This group of Huns gathered outside the city of Xuchang will be the last Huns.
On the northern grasslands, the women in the tents need new husbands, the girls who have not grown up need to be raised by their masters, and the boys who have not grown up should not grow up.
After all, the population is several hundred thousand. If Cao Cao doesn't take it, will he leave it to the Xianbei people further north?
"King Wei, look..." Le Jin pointed straight ahead.
The smoke and dust rolled,
The flying dust is swaying in the sky,
We can see that there are large numbers of cavalry charging forward...
"Looking at this, there are probably at least 30,000 cavalry. How could there be only 10,000 cavalry?" Cao Mengde on the top of the city was surprised. He was also a veteran on the battlefield, commanding thousands of troops. Regarding things on the battlefield, he could estimate a lot of things with just a rough glance.
"My lord, each of them has three horses, or even four..." Le Jin sighed, "The King of Chu has seized more than 100,000 draft horses in Pingliang Prefecture alone, not to mention those seized in the Western Regions..."
When Cao Mengde heard this, his face looked a little unhappy.
One person, three horses.
What a luxury!
You know, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that Cao Mengde had worked so hard to build was far from this configuration...
at last,
In the billowing smoke and dust, a large flag with the word "Chu" on it caught Cao Mengde's eye, "Liu Wu!!"
There was an earthquake here. I was squatting in the toilet and almost fell down.
