Dahan first prince

Chapter 426 The golden cicada escaped, but not completely

After discovering the abnormality of the 'Lou Fan Bow Rider' outside the city, Jin She reacted quickly: open the city gate, and dispatch the whole army!
But it's a pity that it was too late for Jin She to discover the abnormality...
"Treacherous barbarian!"

Roaring furiously, Jin She still couldn't calm down, and kicked the cannon fodder of the Huns in front of him, who was wearing a bow and cavalry costume, to the ground.

——The battle went smoothly;

Taiwei Jin She gave an order, and all the soldiers of the Han army in Mayi City came out, but the slave cannon fodder outside the city did not resist too violently.

Neither took advantage of the opening of the city gate of Mayi to rush in from the city gate, nor were they frightened by the soldiers of the Han army who came out of the nest, and fled in all directions.

Just standing outside the city so numbly, the soldiers of the Han army still stepped forward and strung themselves up with thick ropes.

Because they know: they are abandoned sons;
Death is their only destination.

After the soldiers of the Han army poured out of the city gate of Mayi and captured tens of thousands of slave cannon fodder without any effort, many slave cannon fodder even had expressions of overjoyed expression on their faces!

It's like "don't have to die", it's a big surprise for these slave cannon fodder who thought they were bound to die.

And after the 'battle' was over, Jin She finally found out where the three-edged arrows that were confiscated by the slave cannon fodder outside the city went...
"Taiwei;"

"Since Hu sends his soldiers here every three days to transport arrows, the main force of Hu Man will not go far!"

"Besides, General Li is in charge of Wuzhou, so there is nothing wrong with it."

"Even if Hu has not gone far, and it is difficult to escape to the north of Wuzhou, the Taiwei may be calm and calm, and slowly plan to wipe out the enemy..."

Hearing the voice of Captain Habayashi Quan Xu's voice, Jin She couldn't help suppressing his anger;

But even after adjusting his face, Jin She still felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

——For this war, the resources spent by the Chang'an court can almost be described as 'massive'!

And it's not the total number, but every day, a huge amount of resources are needed to support this war!

Although at the beginning of the war, the unexpected fall of Yunzhong City caused the Han family to be quite confused;

Before the battle of Mayi began, the emperor Liu Ying also sent a letter, cryptically telling Jin She: There is no need to have too much "pursuit", as long as the Huns are kept as far as possible to the north of Mayi, the strategic goal has been achieved.

When he first came to Mayi, Jin She really had such a plan.

——If it is lost in the cloud, the Han family is in the north of the Great Wall, which is equivalent to becoming blind and deaf!
The Han family knew nothing about where the Huns came from, or even whether they came or not!
In such a bad situation, "do not seek great victory, but seek undefeated" is indeed the most realistic strategic goal.

However, after the whimsical ideas sent by Wei Wei Li and the successful recapture of Wuzhou Fortress, the "Siege of Mayi" that had been formed allowed Jin She to see the dawn of victory.

The victory here does not refer to winning a battle, scaring the Huns to the ground, and fleeing back to the grassland;

——Instead, the triumvirate of Xiongnu Aries, Zhelan, and Lou Fan, as well as the "Hun Prince": Zuo Xianwang, were all wiped out under the city of Mayi!

Whenever he thinks of such a grand strategic goal, Jin She will subconsciously feel: I seem to be dreaming!
But when Jin She had such a strange mood, after going through all the possible development directions of the war in his mind, Jin She would always come up with a place where he, the Taiwei, had been active in the Han family's military since the end of Qin Dynasty. Will, are excited about the results.

——The siege of Mayi is [-]%, even if Hu Qi has a million riders, he will never want to escape back to the north of the Great Wall!

But at this moment, when it was discovered that the Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu outside Mayi City had secretly escaped a few days ago, leaving only an empty camp, Jin She's mood was also obvious...

"Whoo~"

"What the whole school captain said is good;"

"——Lieutenant Huben is stationed in Wuzhou, Hu Man is free to go, and there is absolutely no way out!"

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his chest, and carefully recalling Quan Xu's irony just now, he let Jin She breathe a long sigh of relief, calming down a little;

The reason is simple: the fact that the Huns left Mayi does not mean that the "Siege of Mayi" cannot encircle King Zuoxian of the Huns and his troika of Baiyang, Zhelan, and Loufan.

In other words, the main force of the Xiongnu led by Ji Porridge was still in the encirclement to the north of Mayi and south of Wuzhou Sai;
From the fact that the Huns "escaped the golden cicada" and let the slave cannon fodder continue to attack the city, and used this to collect the three-edged arrows, it is not difficult for Jin She to guess that the Zuoxian King of the Huns did not have the idea of ​​​​running away directly.

To be precise, it was because there was no way to escape, that's why the idea of ​​stubborn resistance was born.

in this case······
"Kanyu!"

Thinking of this, Jin She only drank in a low voice, and there was a sheepskin map, which was sent to Jin She by the soldiers.

Seeing that Jin She squatted down without any scruples, put the map on the ground and spread it out, after observing the topography of the Mayi-Wuzhou line for a while, he had an idea in his mind.

"Immediately send scouts to Wuzhou Fortress to explore the headquarters of Captain Huben!"

"—Remember, a hundred people form a team, and you must never leave alone!"

"When we find out the life and death of Captain Huben, report it immediately!"

As soon as he gave an order, he saw a thin general with extremely sharp eyes standing beside him, cupped his hands at Jin She, and then ran away into the distance.

——Although it is roughly certain that the Huns have not jumped out of the encirclement, Jin She still subconsciously wants to send someone to investigate the situation in Wuzhou;

Jin She can only feel at ease if he is sure that there is nothing wrong with Wuzhou Fortress.

After issuing the order to 'find out whether the Wuzhou Fortress is still under the control of our army', the grim look on Jin She's face also faded a lot, and his tightly wrinkled brows relaxed a little;

The next problem is to find the location of the main force of the Huns, and reduce the huge encirclement formed by the two mountains in the east and west, and the two passes in the south and north, so that the Huns can sleep, and the Han army can listen to it. to the point of snoring.

"Um······"

Thinking so, Jin She's eyes were still fixed on the Kanyu on the ground, and his eyes swept over the signs one by one.

After looking for a long time, he couldn't find a place suitable for garrison, or where tens of thousands of Hun cavalry were killed, so Jin She straightened up from the ground.

Seeing that Jin She was still hesitant, Quan Xu thought about it for a while, then stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Even if Hu is a slave who collects three-edged arrows and comes every three days, he must be not far from Mayi;"

"Why doesn't the Taiwei wait for Hu Man and send the cavalry to Mayi to transport the three-edged arrows obtained by the slaves?"

But when Jin She heard the words, he only thought for a while, then shook his head and rejected Quan Xu's plan.

"It's too late to change!"

"——Although the siege of Mayi is completed, the line between Mayi and Wuzhou is extremely wide, and between the east and west mountains, there must be a small path for people to cross!"

"If you don't know Hu's location quickly, and set up a heavy siege, I'm afraid that Di Jiji porridge may return to the grassland."

Saying this in a firm tone, and after thinking for a while, a touch of determination suddenly appeared on Jin She's face.

"Everyone will obey!"

"—each with a school, that is, 2000 people gathered, from Mayi to the north slowly!"

"If you meet an enemy along the way, you must never fight, and report it on a flying horse!"

Without hesitation, he gave the order to 'sweep from Mayi to the north and advance towards Wuzhou Fortress', and Jin She turned around, jumped on his horse angrily, and walked towards Mayi City behind him.

The next battle will inevitably be very tragic;

Therefore, Jin She needs to return to Mayi and arrange the defensive food town of Mayi, so as to prevent the Huns from jumping over the wall in a hurry, no longer breaking out to the northern grassland, but turning around to attack Mayi, and then wreaking havoc on Daibei.

——Things like falling into the clouds, once, are already disgusting enough...

·
"what?"

"—Hu Man's main force, escaped from under Mayi?"

Just half a day later, the scout post cavalry sent by Jin She to Wuzhou Fort had already appeared in Wuzhou Fort, waiting in front of Wei Wei Li Ji, who was waiting for the Huns to attack.

A slightly surprised exclamation caused the scout to nod hastily.

"only;"

"Three days ago, Captain Habayashi slammed the Human Tower's troops, and the Human's attack on the city has become weaker and weaker."

"To this day, seeing a 'loufan Huqi' fall off his horse, but unable to get up, the Taiwei knew this, it was Hu's plan to 'escape the shell of the golden cicada'."

"Then, the Taiwei ordered the defenders of Mayi to go out of the city, and sent the last general here to explore Wuzhou."

Listening to the elite scouts in front of him roughly telling the battle process of the past few days, a stern look quietly appeared on Li Ji's face.

As for the fact that the scout dared to call himself the 'last general' in front of him, Li Ji didn't think there was anything wrong.

——In today's Han Dynasty, those who can become scouts are elites who are skilled in horse bows and horses, and have extremely rich combat experience!
Judging from the fact that the scout in front of him had a body armor, he was probably a certain meritorious nobleman, at least he was also the son and nephew of a family of generals.

"Um······"

"Escape from Mayi..."

After bowing his head and pondering for a long time, Li Jizi also came to the same conclusion as Jin She: the Huns were still surrounded.

Thinking of this, Li Ji hurriedly raised his head and looked at the elite scout in armor.

"Er is Fu Taiwei: Wuzhou Fortress, everything is safe!"

"When Hu walks from Mayi, he must still be north of Mayi and south of Wuzhou!"

After receiving Li Ji's order, the scout hurriedly bowed his hands, then got on his horse, and rode away towards Mayi without looking back.

After the scout rode away, Li Ji, who was under the wall of Wuzhou Saiguan, fell into a long period of thinking.

"Hu went from Mayi, but did not arrive in Wuzhou..."

"hiss······"

With a murmur to himself, Li Ji immediately raised his head, and gently picked the beard on his chin with his thumb and index finger.

The situation is already evident.

After Li Ji led Captain Huben to lurk in the mountains on the east side of the Mayi-Wuzhou line to Wuzhou Fortress and recapture Wuzhou Fortress, the siege of Mayi has been fully formed.

In the south, Jin She led tens of thousands of Han troops, waiting in Mayi;

In the north, Li Ji led the Captain Huben, and guarded against the danger by relying on the Wuzhou Saiguan wall;

Coupled with the towering mountains on the east and west sides, it is enough to ensure that the encircled Huns cannot escape the "Siege of Mayi".

To break out, the Huns had only two options.

——Or, continue to the south, break through Mayi directly, and take advantage of the trend to enter the Daibei area of ​​the Han Dynasty, shake the Han family's side wall, and then try to escape from other directions;

Or, turn around from under Mayi city and launch a fierce attack on Wuzhou fortress where Li Ji was stationed, trying to return to the grassland north of the Great Wall from the shortest distance.

But right now, the Huns have neither broken Mayi nor appeared south of Wuzhou Sai;

This means that the Huns did not break through the encirclement at all.

unless······
"——Unless there is a small path taken by Han merchants and traitors among the mountains and forests!"

Thinking of this, Li Ji's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked in the direction of Mayi full of worry.

Whether it is the tens of thousands of Han troops stationed in Mayi under the leadership of Jin She, or the Han soldiers stationed in Wuzhou under the command of Li Jihu, they are all infantry without exception!
This means that under the current situation, if Jin She wants to find the hiding place of the Huns on the line of Mayi-Wuzhou, he must ensure that every step of the way is to avoid being raided by the Huns cavalry;
And step by step means spending a lot of time.

It is very likely that some key people will be able to escape from this 'Siege of Mayi'...
"Come on!"

Thinking of this, Li Ji didn't hesitate any more, he opened his throat and let out a cry, then trotted towards his horse;

After a while, Lieutenant Huben also hurried to Li Ji's side, subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold Li Ji's horse, and did not forget to look up at Li Ji.

Seeing Captain Huben's face full of fortitude, but still a little green, looking up at him under the horse, Li Ji's face, he couldn't help but hesitate.

——Lieutenant Huben, the emperor Liu Ying's painstaking efforts, all Han family sons who are in their prime!

Taking these still young children and future stars to take such a huge risk...
"Commander!"

"Captain Huben's headquarters, leave immediately!"

"Go south along Wuzhou, step by step, looking for the traces of Hu Man!!"

After a brief ideological struggle, Li Ji finally made up his mind and issued this military order that was likely to cause loopholes in the siege of Mayi due to his own decision.

——Lieutenant Huben, it is indeed very precious!
——The siege of Mayi is really rare!
But whether it is the precious tiger-been armored swordsman or the "Siege of Mayi" that will go down in history, the only meaning for the Han family is to keep as many Huns as possible in this Mayi-Wuzhou line!
If in order to protect Captain Huben, let the main force of the Xiongnu who have fallen into the encirclement, especially Zuo Xianwang Suo Jijiu escape, Li Ji will definitely live in great regret and self-blame all his life!

As for the unauthorized deployment of troops, it is indeed a bit risky to have such an extremely critical loophole as the "Wuzhou Fortress" in the encirclement that has already been formed.

But years of marching experience made Li Ji feel a very bewitching voice at this moment.

——If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you find tiger cubs...
