Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 487 The Huns Collapse
The Huns did not dissuade their thoughts of fleeing to Guanzhong because of the sudden beacon fire on the east bank of the river. They didn't even bother to take a breath, and began to organize people to cross the river. Soon, hundreds of thousands of cowhide bags were blown up. Get up, and then tie dozens of cowhide bags together to make a cowhide raft that can carry five or six people.

In less than half an hour, hundreds of ox-skin rafts had been tied up and launched into the water. Three thousand selected Xiongnu elite soldiers boarded the ox-skin rafts and led their horses to cross the river. Huns generally do not know how to swim, so Cowhide rafts must be used, but most of the war horses can float, so they can cross the river just by leading them.

The process of crossing the river was not smooth. Although the river section chosen by the Huns was the gentlest nearby, it was only relatively speaking. Generally speaking, the river near Helan Mountain was still very fast. During the process of crossing the river, there were at least 20 animals The cowhide raft was washed away by the rapid current, and at least 200 Huns fell into the water and drowned.

After battling against the torrent for more than half an hour, the exhausted Hun cavalry finally set foot on the east bank of the river.

Then the Huns who stayed on the west bank pulled the cowhide raft back to the west bank by rope, and the second batch of [-] Hun cavalry boarded the cowhide raft again and began to cross the river, but at this moment, the Hun cavalry on the east bank of the river suddenly made a commotion Get up, and then a faint black line appeared on the eastern horizon, and the Han cavalry has arrived!
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, at least tens of thousands of cavalry from the Han army swept across the mountains and plains.

Although there were only [-] Hun cavalry who crossed the east bank, and they were exhausted and exhausted, they still spread out to meet them fearlessly. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Xiongnu cavalry were completely dispersed.

When it was getting dark, [-] Han infantry also arrived.

As a last resort, the Huns had no choice but to give up crossing the river. Most of the first batch of [-] Hun cavalry who crossed the river were wiped out, and only less than a hundred cavalry scattered and fled into the nearby mountains.

In the middle of the night, Bai Mo also rushed to the crossing point from Lingwu.

Facing Zhou Guanfu, Bai Mo said: "Shengzhi, although the Huns' crossing operation failed during the day, they will never give up easily. They will definitely sneak across at night tonight. You must be vigilant."

Zhou Guanfu put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, the general has sent dozens of patrols along the river to patrol non-stop for twelve hours. No matter it is day or night, as long as the Huns dare to take action, They absolutely cannot escape our eyes, and besides, the last general also sent scouts to Hexi."

It is self-evident that the purpose of sending scouts to the west of the river is to monitor the movement of the Huns. Once the Huns leave here and turn to other river sections, the scouts on the west bank of the river can give early warning, and the Han army on the east bank Cavalry and infantry can turn in ahead of time and prepare for the attack.

"Okay." Bai Mo nodded happily, "I still have to persevere for a long time."

"Here!" Zhou Guanfu responded abruptly, "The last general will never disgrace his fate."

##########
As expected by Bai Mo, Gu Nuoyan, Gao A Duo and Ka Yitu are indeed planning to smuggle people.

Gu Nuoyan drew a line on the ground with his sword, and placed a small stone at each of the two bends, then pointed to one of the small stones and said: "I have repeatedly surveyed before dark, the bend of this river is The water flow is relatively gentle, which is most suitable for smuggling, but there will definitely be Han riding patrols on the other side, so we must make some noise in other sections of the river."

"Leave this to me." Gao A Duo pointed at another small stone with his sword, and said, "I will lead people to cross here to attract the attention of the Han army on the east bank." After a pause, Gao A Duo continued He said, "However, after nightfall, I found a lot of scouts from the Han army on the west bank of the river. I'm afraid we can't hide our actions from them."

"Leave the Han army scouts on the west bank to me to deal with," Kayitu said.

"Okay, then it's settled." Gu Nuoyan waved his hand, "Let's split up."

When Gao A Duo and Ka Yitu were about to leave, Gu Nuoyan's big tent was suddenly thrown open, and then a strong Hun man who was full of travel and dust rushed in, and after entering the tent, he only called You Xianwang, He fell to the ground and passed out.

"Isn't this Yanshu, the guardian of the iron city?" Gu Nuoyan recognized the strong Hun who had barged in at a glance, rushed to take the first two steps to help Yanshu, and asked sharply, "Yanshu? Yanshu?! You Wake up, wake up quickly, you stayed in Iron City, why did you come here? Yanshu, you bastard, hurry up and say a few words!"

Gao Aduo and Ka Yitu also looked at each other in blank dismay. Could it be that something happened to Mobei?

The uncle said that he arrived after hearing the news, and stretched out his hand to pinch Yanshu's Renzhong acupoint fiercely. Yanshu, who had passed out, woke up faintly, hugged Gu Nuoyan's thigh again and began to cry loudly, crying while crying: : "Youxian King, it's over, it's over, Shan Yuting and Datiecheng were attacked by the Chu army, it's over, it's over, ouch..."

"What did you say?!" Gu Nuoyan's shock was serious, "Chu army sneak attack?!"

The uncle said that he also gasped in horror, and screamed in an extremely rude manner: "Impossible, this is impossible, the two countries of Chu and Han are at a stalemate because of their alliance, and the rest of Han, Zhao, Yan, and Qi are also at loggerheads." Involved in it, at this time, how can the Chu army join forces with the Han army to use troops against us Huns?"

After finishing speaking, the uncle said that he grabbed Yanshu again and asked, "Yanshu, he must be from Donghu, right?"

"What kind of Donghu people? They are clearly the Chu army and the Yan army!" Yanshu hissed with fire in his eyes, "What are Donghu people? How could they have sharp iron weapons and excellent riding bows? Yes, how could the Donghu people have such a strong combat power? It is the Chu army, they are the Chu army!"

Uncle Gong said that his heart was chilling, and suddenly he thought of another question, Shan Yu's court was over, so what about the little Shan Yu's military officials?Then he asked again: "Yanshu, where are the military officials and Yi Zhixie?"

"I don't know." Yanshu shook his head, and said sadly, "According to the report of the guards who fled to Iron City, after the fall of Shan Yuting, the military officials and Yi Zhixie also disappeared in the rebellion. The Chu-Yan coalition forces are vicious , They killed anyone they saw, burned their tents when they saw them, and most of the two little Shanyu have already met with misfortune."

"Ah?!" said the uncle with a cry of surprise, and fell to the ground slumped.

Gu Nuoyan, Gao Aduo and Ka Yitu's eyes flashed a gleam of joy irresistibly, the military officials and Yi Zhixie died in the rebellion, and Da Shanyu's family is considered extinct. In this way, The new Shan Yu can only be produced among the three of them.

But soon, the three of Gu Nuoyan thought of a very serious problem. Shanyuting and Datiecheng are the two old nests of the Pili tribe. Now the two places have fallen successively. All the sheep were taken away by the Chu army, and the Pear Tribe is about to face the crisis of survival and reproduction!

After hearing the news, the more than a dozen Xiongnu Xiaowangs who came here also had different expressions, and the eyes of a few Xiongnu Xiaowangs who were slightly stronger were even more flickering, and different thoughts had already moved in their minds.

You must know that the Xiongnu is not a unified nation, but a tribal alliance composed of hundreds of large and small tribes. In this tribal alliance, the Pianli tribe is in an absolute dominant position. The tribe has a population of more than 100, and occupies the most lush water and grasslands such as the Lugong River and the Yuwu River.

But now, Shan Yuting and Datiecheng were bloodbathed by the Chu army, and all the women and children of the Pili tribe who stayed in their lairs were killed by the Chu army, and the women and children who accompanied the army were also killed by the Han army in Juyanze. , don't look at the 10,000+ men who support the pear tribe are still there, but their women and children are gone, they are already unprecedented!

On the contrary, those small tribes of the Huns, because they could not occupy the lush water and grass land, escaped by a blessing in disguise, and kept some women, children, cattle and sheep. Now as long as they guard the women, children, cattle and sheep, the tribe will definitely become stronger. It is not impossible to replace the support tribe and dominate the entire desert one day.

A few little Wang Dang, who was thinking quickly, slipped away quietly.

When Gu Nuoyan and the others realized that they wanted to block the news, it was too late. Several Xiongnu kings had already taken their tribes out of camp overnight. Seeing that the situation was not right, Dang even drove the army to attack the various small tribes.

At this time, Gu Nuoyan, Gao Aduo, and Ka Yitu couldn't care less. What needs to be considered now is how to keep the Plow tribe alive and multiplying. There are only a few women, children, cattle and sheep left on the grassland. If they couldn't get in for a while, the Supporting Li tribe could only focus on the small tribe.

However, these small tribes are not easy to mess with. Of course, a single small tribe cannot provoke the powerful Plow tribe, but when hundreds of large and small tribes unite, their strength is not much weaker than the Plow tribe. In the meantime, the three 10,000+ Huns were divided into two camps and fought desperately in Hexi.

Zhou Guanfu accompanied Bai Mo to the observation deck on the top of the mountain, and asked the primary school on duty, "What's the situation?"

"I don't know exactly what happened." The guard on duty shook his head, and pointed to the Huns camp in Hexi, "About half an hour ago, the torches suddenly lit up in the Huns camp in Hexi, and there were countless The Huns swarmed out of it, and then began a melee in Hexi, which has continued until now."

Bai Mo and Zhou Guanfu looked in the direction of the little school's finger, and they saw the bright flames in the west of the river, and groups of Xiongnu cavalry were fighting endlessly without any formation. Although they were far away, they could still hear the faint The sound of killing, obviously, the Huns are not acting, but really fighting.

"How could this be?" Zhou Guanfu said in amazement, "It shouldn't be."

"Why shouldn't it be?" Bai Mo said with a slight smile, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that my junior brother has completed the feat of plowing the courtyard and sweeping the caves. The Huns knew the news, so they started fighting for survival and reproduction." It's a fight."
