Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 83 The Huns Defeated
The Xiongnu army didn't know how many people the Han army had sneak attacked. Some ran eastward, and some fled westward. They just ran for their lives. The generals didn't know the soldiers, and the soldiers didn't know the generals. They couldn't organize effective resistance. Geng Gong's three hundred Han army cavalry were like a group of soldiers. Like a sharp knife, it pierced the Xiongnu's heart.

The commander of the Xiongnu rushed out of King Zuoli's tent, stepped on his horse, and rushed towards the gate of the camp, shouting loudly as he rushed, "Don't panic, follow me to resist..."

But the wind and rain were too strong, and the voice of the commander of the Huns was suppressed by the thunderstorm, and the soldiers of the Huns couldn't hear what he was shouting at all.

Geng Gong, who was charging, saw a Huns commander shouting in front of him, knowing that he was trying to gather soldiers, so he clamped his legs between the horse's belly, leaned over and pulled out a long spear from a Huns corpse, and fought hard. throw.

"puff!"

The spear flew to the commander of the Xiongnu like an arrow from the string, pierced through the chest, and the tip of the spear more than a foot long was exposed from the back.

"resistance!……"

Blood gushed out of the mouth of the commander of the Xiongnu commander, and finally murmured two words, and then fell off his horse.

Geng Gong led [-] cavalrymen roaring past, and the dozen or so Xiongnu soldiers who had just gathered around the commander were wiped out like melons and vegetables. The Huns in the distance were frightened like headless chickens and ran away one after another without fighting. will and combat power.

Geng Gong's [-] cavalry passed the stables and cattle pens, and immediately hooked down the gate with a halberd, and drove the horses, cattle and sheep out. Many Xiongnu soldiers were trampled to death before they got on the horses.

Under the protection of several personal soldiers, King Zuoli fled to the rear of the camp, gathering his troops as he ran, and soon more than 1000 people gathered.

King Zuoli turned his horse's head and said: "Geng Gong's Han army is not many, follow me and kill them!"

Before the remnant army could counterattack, chaos broke out behind the Xiongnu camp. Countless broken troops and livestock rushed over like a tide, disrupting the newly stabilized position.

King Zuoli was startled and angry, "Why are you panicking?"

Zuo Datanghu and King Cheshi were also among the defeated army. Hearing Zuoli King's scolding, Zuo Datanghu looked embarrassed and frightened and said: "Zuoli King, run quickly. The Thunder God of the Han army is here. If you don't run away, you will be killed." Was hacked to death."

King Zuoli looked in the direction of the rear camp, and in the storm, there were continuous flashes of fire, explosions, and a series of "da da da" sounds.

King Zuoli murmured, "Could it be that the Han army is really aided by gods? It's terrible!"

Zuo Dadanghu said with a bitter face: "King Zuoli, don't think about whether there are any gods in the Han army here, let's retreat temporarily to preserve our strength."

First, there were crossbow arrows of the Han army that could set the clothes of those hit by the arrows on fire and wounds festered, and two explosions caused the Huns to panic. Fear of gods spread in the Huns camp like rumors and viruses. King Zuoli saw that The subordinates didn't dare to fight the Han army at all, and said helplessly: "Oh, pass on the order, retreat first, and wait for the wind and rain to stop before fighting the Han army."

In fact, these words are just an excuse, so there is no need to use orders. The Xiongnu soldiers who are good at fighting with the wind have already scattered and fled.

Xiao Chuan and Zhang Junhou led [-] cavalrymen of the Han army. Each of them rode in pairs. When the horse was tired, they switched to another horse and continued to charge. While charging inside the Huns camp, they threw grenades.

The heavy rain wet the bowstrings, and the bows and arrows of both the Han army and the Xiongnu soldiers could not be used. The Xiongnu could only resist with swords and guns in their hands.But Xiao Chuan's grenade is not afraid of rain, and the long-range attack is even more powerful.

Xiao Chuan took the lead, clamping the horse's belly tightly with his legs, holding a red tassel gun in one hand, holding the pot-bellied box in his hand, stabbing him with the gun when he was close, and shooting when he was far away.

The three hundred Han troops formed a huge array of arrows, with momentum like a rainbow, like a broken bamboo, unstoppable, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, rampaging.

Finally, the two Han armies joined together, Zhang Junhou shouted excitedly: "Lieutenant Geng! We are here."

Geng Gong was overjoyed when he saw that the three hundred Han troops sent out to rescue Cheshi were unscathed and said: "Marquis Zhang, brothers, you are all fine. This is great. Let's join forces and kill the Xiongnu!"

Zhang Junhou said: "Okay, brothers, let's fight the enemy together with Colonel Geng!"

The Han army was united, and they were about to fight a family, and their morale was like a rainbow. The six hundred Han army followed the Huns army and chased them. After escaping for more than 30 miles, I saw that there were no more killing cries from behind, so I reined in my horses and gathered the remaining soldiers.

Geng Gong led his army in pursuit for more than ten miles. He saw that the Han army was fighting fiercely in the middle of the night, and the men and horses were exhausted. If they tried to pursue again, they would be easily surrounded by the Huns who had reacted, so he ordered the pursuit to be stopped.

It was already dawn and the heavy rain had stopped. The Huns camp was in a mess, with corpses of Huns soldiers, howling wounded soldiers, ownerless horses, and herds of cattle and sheep everywhere.

Geng Gong ordered: "Drive the horses, cattle and sheep to Jinpu City, and take away the dry grain and grass that can be pulled away with a cart."

There were only a dozen casualties in the Han army, and they returned to Jinpu City happily. It took King Zuoli half a day to gather the troops. After counting more than 1000 dead soldiers, there were more than 3000 wounded soldiers, and the loss of supplies such as food, grass, and supplies was even greater. , Except for the horses that rode out, all the horses, cattle and sheep in the camp were driven into Jinpu City by the Han army.

King Zuoli looked at Zuo Dadanghu and other Xiongnu nobles who were still wearing wet robes, and all of them hung their heads. Knowing that the morale was low and they could not attack the city in a short time, he ordered to re-encamp ten miles away from Jinpu City. .

After entering Jinpu City, Zhang Junhou immediately introduced Xiao Chuan to Geng Gong.

Hearing that Xiao Chuan had rescued Zhang Junhou's three hundred Han soldiers, Geng Gong was very moved, and respectfully gave a military salute to Xiao Chuan, saying: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, thanks to you, our three hundred brothers from the Han army can come back safely. Let's worship."

Seven hundred Han warriors saluted together and said, "Thank you, Master Xiao."

Xiao Chuan said: "Lieutenant Geng, brothers, a certain is also Han Chinese, we are connected by blood, and it is only right to help."

After a few words of politeness from everyone, Xiao Chuan said, "Lieutenant Geng, what are your plans next?"

Geng Gong said: "Jinpu City is tall, but our Han army is too small to defend all the walls, so I plan to lead the troops to withdraw to Shule City."

Zhang Junhou said pleasantly: "Lieutenant Geng, you and Hero Xiao thought about going together. When you were in Jiaohe City, Hero Xiao guessed that you would withdraw to Shule City in the future, and asked Queen Che Shi to send the food and supplies to Shule City in advance."

Geng Gong said: "Hero Xiao really has a strategy, Bo Zong admires him."

Xiao Chuan smiled and said: "I am just guessing at random. After all, our three hundred Han army cannot transport food and grass through the Huns' [-] army, so we took a gamble. Even if the bet is not correct, the defenders of Shule City still need food." of."

Geng Gongdao: "Hero Xiao risked his life to save him, he didn't take any credit for it, he's really chivalrous."

Xiao Chuan said: "Lieutenant Geng, we take advantage of the low morale of the Huns and dare not attack for the time being, so we should withdraw from Jinpu City as soon as possible."

Geng Gong wondered: "Our Han army has all the horses and can withdraw at any time. I am just worried that the people in the city will be retaliated by the Huns."

Xiao Chuan said: "Jinpu City is full of Cheshi people. Now King Cheshi is in the Huns army. He will not allow the Huns to kill his subjects. Let's negotiate with the Huns and hand over Jinpu City so that the Huns can guarantee the safety of the people."
