Chapter two hundred and ninety fifth stalemate and turning point
Han Xin's all-or-nothing adventure was indeed a good bet. The Qin army did not seek to fight back but continued to attack the Huns' central army. This was indeed beyond the expectations of the Huns soldiers. Seeing the Qin army, they suddenly came up to kill them again.
, those originally aggressive Huns could not help but be forced to take a few steps back, which gave the Qin army more time to kill forward. After defeating thousands of the oncoming Huns cavalry, Han Xin could be sure that the Huns
The guard of the central army was not as tight as he had thought just now, which further increased his confidence in attacking the Xiongnu central army. Under Han Xin's orders, all the Qin troops continued fearlessly
They fought towards the big tent in the middle of the Huns. At this time, the Huns on both sides had discovered the Qin army that was constantly attacking. They also gave up the gradually forming encirclement and rushed towards the position of the Chinese army.
In fact, I don’t know whether Han Xin had good luck or bad luck this time. If he had led his troops out of the city to attack the Huns earlier, I am afraid that they would have been completely defeated by the Qin army without any precautions. But in
The Chinese army tent where Mao Dun is located will definitely be surrounded by tens of thousands of his most trusted elite soldiers, so no matter how hard Han Xin attacks, it is impossible to pose any threat to Mao Dun. But at dusk today, the day shift again
Once he made his suggestion to Mao Dun, asking him to ambush the cavalry on both sides without changing the form of the front formation for safety reasons, and at the same time, let the men and horses behind them sleep without disarming, just in case. Mao Dun
Although he was very dissatisfied with Bai Ban's caution, he could not persuade him and Ji Du at the same time, and finally agreed to his proposal. This made all the Huns who had to ambush on both sides very dissatisfied, until Bai Ban agreed to them
Fai temporarily suppressed the matter by choosing someone else to replace them the next day.
But this plan that was suddenly adopted and implemented caused the incoming Qin army to be cut off, and at the same time it slowly surrounded the Qin army coming out of the city. But because of this change, Maodun will
The elite cavalry guarding his tent were mobilized to ambush them. In order to convince the people of other small tribes, Maodun, as a Chanyu, had to do the same. In this way, the number of men and horses guarding the central army was less than 10,000.
For this reason, Han Xin's bold change of tactics hit the Huns' vital point.
The Huns cavalry who cut off Han Xin's connection with the rear army and constantly blocked the Qin army's attacks immediately ignored their mission when they discovered that their participation would be threatened by the Qin army. They gave up their positions and headed towards the central army.
After a while, the Huns behind the army led by Han Xin dispersed, allowing them to contact the people behind them again.
Han Xin felt relieved when he saw that everything happened as he expected. He looked at the cavalry rushing towards the Huns' central army from the side, as well as the increasingly weakened cavalry guarding the central army.
Han Xin was very conflicted about the Huns. Now he could turn around and join the people behind him, and then return to the city safely. After all, the Huns were on guard now and the raid could not continue. Of course he
Another option is to continue to lead the troops to the Huns' central camp. Maybe they can destroy the Huns' central army before the troops from all over the country return to support and give them a fatal blow. But in this way
Their tens of thousands of horses would fall into the siege of the Huns' cavalry, and the possibility of being able to escape safely was very slim. At the same time, Han Xin also knew that there was another possibility, that is, he would be killed by the Huns before he could break into the enemy's center.
The reinforcements gathered around us solved the problem. This was a dilemma.
If he had followed Han Xin's thoughts when he first came out of the city, he would have led his men and horses to kill the Huns at all costs, even if it had to pay a huge price. However, after being almost surrounded and annihilated just now, Han Xin's mind became clearer and he gave up.
continue to risk
After a slight hesitation, Han Xin decisively ordered the army to retreat, merge with the men and horses led by Zhou Xing behind, and then repel the Huns who were still attacking around them.
Then he returned to the city.
Although this battle did not take too long and it was still dark when it ended, it went through many twists and turns and was extremely dangerous. If the reactions of both sides were not good at all, one side would suffer heavy losses. This battle between Qin and Qin Dynasty
Nearly five thousand people were killed in the battle, all when they encountered the Xiongnu ambush.
The soldiers were caught off guard and died in battle. In addition to the hundreds of people in front of the Xiongnu who were used as bait, the Xiongnu also lost more than 3,000 people. It can be said that the two sides fought a draw. But because the Xiongnu was the party attacking the city, now
But in turn, they were attacked by the Qin army, which made them feel even more uncomfortable.
After this scare, it took Maodun a long time to calm down. Although he was not a person who had never encountered danger, and he almost died in the Yueshi, but he was almost taken advantage of by others twice in a row in the past few days.
It was hard for him to accept that he brought nearly 100,000 troops with him
After coming here, he always ends up being alone at the critical moment. How can this not make Mao Dun feel frightened and angry? Looking at the generals and leaders of the various accounts who have arrived, Mao Dun's face is so dark that he can be compared with
Later generations of Bao Gong could compare with him: "Dai Shi, you have always sworn
He said that the Qin people who invaded in the future could be surrounded and annihilated, but today they almost broke through my big tent. What do you say?" His first target was to suggest that the day squad should set up a battle array. In fact, this was because he wanted to cover up
My own mistake, if it weren't for the suggestion from the day shift, I'm afraid
They didn't just lose more than 3,000 people. But for his dignity as a great Chanyu, he couldn't say in front of everyone that he was wrong and Bai Shi was right, especially since there were many others who were attached to him.
The leader of a small tribe, otherwise his reputation would be useless.
After all, Bai Ban had been an official in the Qin State for many years, so he could figure out the thoughts of the superiors, so he immediately said: "The general is not thinking carefully and has frightened the Shanyu. I hope the Shanyu will punish him."
Seeing that the day shifter understood things like this, Mao Dun didn't want to embarrass him, so he said, "Since you have always done good work for me, I will not punish you for the time being." At this point, Mao Dun's tone tightened: "But I let you.
In order to do one thing, I took down this Yunzhong City and brought me the heads of the attacking Qin generals. These Qin people dared to take the initiative to attack under such circumstances.
Take it into consideration.”
The day squad breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The general will definitely take this city!" As he said that, he strode out of the tent. Na Maodun got angry again and asked other people to cooperate with the day squad to destroy the city with all their strength.
City, and then let everyone leave their tent.
After these three days of rest, although the battle last night lasted for half a night, the Huns army finally recovered their fighting ability. Under Mao Dun's scolding, all the troops began to work hard to launch an attack on Yunzhong County.
The first round of attacks.
After Han Xin and the others returned to the city after their failed raid, they had already guessed that they would encounter an all-out siege by the Huns, so as soon as they returned to the city, they asked the soldiers to prepare all the equipment for defending the city, and then asked the soldiers at the city gates and walls to
The soldiers defended carefully. So when they saw the Huns' army beginning to grow in strength, neither the generals nor the ordinary soldiers in the city panicked at all. They all resisted step by step.
If there is something that the Qin army's defenders did not expect and were not prepared, it should be that they actually saw the Huns' troops attacking the city, and they were organized and equipped with some ladders. Although the Huns had attacked before
The Qin State's cities were still mainly attacked blindly, or relied on sudden attacks to make the defenders fearful and take down the city. Of course, most of them returned without success and ultimately relied on looting.
Some small towns came to protect themselves from disasters. But this time the situation was obviously different. The Huns actually attacked the city like the general Central Plains army. In addition, they were more flexible than the Central Plains people, which really made the Huns attack the city.
The Qin army's defenders were greatly surprised.
But being surprised does not mean that the Qin army will have no way to resist at all. Most of them came from the Central Plains with Han Xin, and they were all after the battle with the Chu army, and they were quite capable of defending the city.
So the two armies launched fierce offensive and defensive battles in Yunzhong City...
At this time, in Xianyang City, reinforcements from various places had arrived one after another. This time, another hundred thousand people gathered in Xianyang. Seeing this scene, Fusu's confidence in dealing with the Huns this time greatly increased. From the battle reports from various places
Judging from the results, the Xiongnu's military strength is much greater than before, but now that the Qin Dynasty has been unified, without internal worries, it has an army of more than 100,000 and 200,000 to fight against the Xiongnu's 100,000 army. Moreover, it is still focused on defense and has geographical advantages.
With the advantage, Fusu felt that Da Qin was already in an invincible position. Therefore, even though he had to deal with memorials from various places and settle down the soldiers and horses who came to Xianyang, everyone from Fusu down was extremely busy, and even
This New Year was also spent in a busy manner, but everyone was still happy because they believed that as long as the invading Huns were defeated this time, the Central Plains would be completely settled.
And on this day, it was time for the reinforcements coming from all directions to embark on the journey north again. Fusu once again held a farewell ceremony for the 100,000 troops at the north gate of Xianyang City, and led the troops to the north.
Meng Tian and Zhang Han, who were already in good health, were thinking of making amends for their clan brothers.
Accompanied by Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, Fusu stood there and watched the army slowly disappear from his sight. Now he began to be a little dissatisfied with his identity, just because he was
