The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 225 The Southern Xiongnu Rebellion!
Just when the vision of the Han Empire was attracted to Liangzhou and Hedong.

No one noticed that the Huns on the prairie were gathering, and the various tribes began to link up openly and secretly.

The danger is approaching, but Shangjun and Xihe Commanderies in Bingzhou have weakened their troops on the border to an extremely dangerous level because of the war in Hedong County.

Zhang Yi also relaxed his vigilance towards the border of Bingzhou because of Qiang Qu Shanyu's respectful attitude.

But the Huns, who had been waiting for several months in history, did not wait any longer this time...

……

Xihe County, Lishi City.

The tall buildings and gorgeous houses in the once prosperous Lishi City have long since disappeared and no longer exist.

Instead, it was a fire that soared into the sky, just like a scene of purgatory.

The leader of the Huns going south this time is the Zuobu Huhe of the Southern Huns, and the large and small grassland tribes plus the Zuobu Huhe, there are more than [-] knights going south this time.

If it weren't for the war in Hedong County, there would still be more than [-] soldiers in Xihe County defending the passes, and they would be able to withstand the invasion of these Xiongnu.

But because of Qiang Qu Shanyu's attitude, Zhang Yi made a wrong judgment, and more soldiers from Xihe County were dispatched to Puzi City.

In Puzi City, nearly [-] soldiers from Xihe County have gathered. They will cooperate with the Han army in Hedong County to launch an attack on the Yellow Turban Army in Hedong County. Their task is to seize control of Luliang Mountain.

As a result, the Yellow Turban Army in Jiangyi, Linfen, and Beiqu City was forced to retreat and recapture Hedong County.

The leader of Zuo Hu He originally wanted to join forces with the leader of Xiu Tu Ge Hu and discuss it later.

However, the weakness of Xihe County gave the leader of Zuo Huhe an opportunity. When he learned that there were only more than [-] defenders in Xihe County, he immediately summoned his cavalry and the Xiongnu attached to Zuo Huhe. tribe.

Then the leader of Huhe on the left, with more than [-] cavalry, galloped all the way into the hinterland of Xihe County.

Even if the soldiers of Xihe County lit up the smoke, Lishi City had already been prepared.

How can that be?
How could Lishi City, which was defended by more than [-] county soldiers, be able to hold back the [-] fierce and warlike Huns?
The prefect of Xihe County, Xingji, killed more than [-] soldiers from the county.

A raging fire is burning in Lishi City, and the Huns are plundering and massacring recklessly
They smashed the government office, and frantically robbed the property, food, and women in the city. Those houses that had no oil and water in the city were often burned by them.

The fire spread, and the cries and screams in the city were one after another, so horribly shrill, but it only fueled the arrogance of these Huns.

The smell of burnt flesh filled the gray smoke, and the north wind was filled with heart-piercing cries.

The once prosperous Lishi City has become a purgatory on earth.

But the atrocities of the Huns still did not stop. They trampled on Lishi city which had been turned into ruins.

Then, turn your eyes to the farther east - Taiyuan County!

The original Shanyu and Qiangqu Shanyu of the Southern Huns have been completely emptied, and now Xiutu Gehu and Zuobu Huhe have controlled the right to speak of the Southern Huns.

Zuo Huhe entered from Xihe County, while Xiutu Gehu entered from Yanmen County.

Fortunately, although Zhang Baiqi was tempted by money and harassed Yanmen County according to Xu An's order, he still had the idea of ​​​​preserving his power. A small group of troops attacked and harassed.

This also prevented the soldiers in Yanmen County from being too scattered. When they were attacked by Xiutu Gehu of the Southern Huns, the Han army in Yanmen County resisted tenaciously and successfully defended the pass.

On the contrary, Xiu Tu Gehu, who was so morale like a rainbow, broke through several cities outside the pass, and finally passed the Yanmen Pass, leaving more than a thousand corpses in a mess and returning in defeat.

However, no one was able to solve Huhe, the left part of the Southern Huns who had entered the hinterland of Bingzhou from Xihe County.

……

When Zhang Yi received the scout report, the cavalry of the Southern Huns had already killed all the way to the outside of Pingzhou City in Xihe County.

It is only seventy miles away from the Han army camp.

Seventy miles can be reached in one day for the cavalry.

However, Zhang Yi had a mixed army of infantry and cavalry, [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

It never occurred to him that he would have to face the Huns' attack.

Moreover, the Southern Xiongnu obviously already knew the location of Zhang Yi's troops, and they were galloping towards the northern Han army camp in Yong'an.

The infantry can only march for more than forty miles a day in a hurry. How can two legs run faster than four legs.

If Zhang Yi wants to escape, there is only one way at present, and that is to abandon the infantry under his command...

To the north of Yong'an City, the Han army camp.

The atmosphere in the military tent was gloomy and terrifying. The Han army camp was still silent at this time. The ordinary soldiers did not know the news that the Huns were approaching.

Zhang Yi didn't know that the Qiang Canal had actually been taken over by Xiutu Gehu and Zuobu Huhe.

On the first seat, Zhang Yi was furious, and he had already broken off the bamboo piece with military information written on it, and threw it on the ground.

He gritted his teeth and cursed in a hateful voice: "What a Qiang Qu!"

"You can even sell your own son, just to seize Bingzhou. They really are a bunch of barbarians!"

He never expected that Qiang Qu Shanyu would be so obedient, and he would send his son Yu Fuluo to Hedong County to support the war, restrain the tribes under his command, and not come to harass the frontier, it was all deceitful.

The purpose was to make the Han army unprepared, so that they could pass through the pass and directly enter the hinterland of Bingzhou.

Zhang Yi lost his temper in the military tent, but the matter always had to be resolved.

There are only more than a thousand people left behind in Jinyang City. If all these soldiers under his command are left here by the Huns, then Bingzhou will be completely over.

Zhang Yi stood in the tent with a livid face. This was a difficult choice, and the survival of Bingzhou was in his hands, so he had to make the right choice.

……

To the north of Yong'an, the camp of the Han army was full of people screaming and horses boiling, and a large number of soldiers kept moving around in the camp.

The news of the future of the Huns has spread throughout the entire camp of the Han army, and the Huns will be able to enter their field of vision at dusk at the latest.

They are now making final preparations for the upcoming war.

Zhang Yi sat decadently in the tent, he chose to stay.

He knew that the Huns must have been prepared for this attack, and there was a high probability that two groups would invade at the same time, one at Yanmen and one at Xihe, and then attack Taiyuan at the same time.

Now that the situation is critical, Zhang Yi cannot confirm whether Yanmen County has been breached.

If Yanmen is broken, then more than [-] cavalry, plus more than [-] soldiers defending the city, will be difficult to stop the siege of tens of thousands of Huns.

It's better to have an upright confrontation with the trilogy of the Southern Xiongnu's invasion of Xihe County here.

There are nearly [-] troops under his command, and there are camps to protect them. Although the number of Huns is unknown, it is not likely to be too many.

Since the last battle of Jinyang, although a large amount of military equipment has been lost, Bingzhou has also received support from the central government and permission for conscription.

This also further strengthened the strength of the Han army in Bingzhou.

The city of Jinyang is solid, and the Huns are not good at attacking the city, so they will certainly not be able to attack it quickly.

As long as Zhang Yi defeated the Huns in Xihe County, even if Yanmen County was defeated, he would still be able to turn defeat into victory.
