Chapter 1289 Battle of the Upper Valley (3)


Fuyang is a very special city.

Since the reign of King Yan Zhao, the city has adopted the design of a combination of large and small cities.

The small city is attached to the big city and is a place of daily life and economic trade, while the big city is backed by a deep valley, and the city is high and thick, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack The city is far stronger than people think.

Two thousand years later, even though the site has been abandoned for nearly two thousand years, archaeologists can still find many remnants of the walls from the ruins of Fuyang, some of which are even hundreds of meters long, and the highest point is nearly four meters You must know that Fuyang has been abandoned since the Northern Wei Dynasty Since then, it has experienced ups and downs and the rise and fall of dynasties.

But in the new century, people passing by the ruins of Fuyang can still see the walls scattered in the wilderness, across the mountains and tombs.

From time to time, local children will find some artifacts from the rubble piles and the grass of the mountains, and some artifacts from the Warring States period and the Qin and Han dynasties.

It's impressively sturdy At this time, the strategic position of Fuyang was the same as that of Juyongguan, who was famous in later generations.

They are all locked and youyan, which is the barrier of Yan Zhao Standing at the head of the big city of Fuyang, holding the clairvoyant mirror borrowed from Guan He, Thorn Wu licked his lips and counted the Huns who appeared in the clairvoyant mirror.

"Right Valley Liwang Headquarters" "Lan's Ten Thousand Riders, Su Bu's Ten Thousand Riders" "Oh, and four or five smaller tribes" Thorn Wu said as he was amazed: "It's really a big battle."

In the past, such a huge Xiongnu cavalry was enough to break through any location of the Great Wall, and even penetrate hundreds of miles into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, burning, killing and looting.

But now, with the power of just one Upper Valley County, it can already be equal.

This is really embarrassing.

But that's nothing.

Today's Huns, I am afraid they would never have dreamed that behind this Fuyang City in Shanggu County, the Han family has assembled a mixed corps of more than 100,000 people The main force of the Xiliu Battalion led by the Che Cavalry General Yi Zong and the light cavalry troops of the northern and southern armies were only two days away from Fuyang.

And the huge army mobilized by Zhao has also entered the territory of Shanggu County.

Zhao Guoren is not easy to mess with And their number is as high as fifty thousand.

Counting the county soldiers of Shanggu County itself and the main force of the Flying Fox Army that has been out of the fortress, in the next five days, the entire Shanggu area, the Han army will gather a legion of more than 100,000 Such a large corps is enough to rewrite everything in the war.

Not to mention, there are two cuirassers to help in battle.

Thinking of this, Thorn Wu smiled even happier, after this battle, he could also fulfill the dream of his father and grandparents, and take off the second forced title of boiled jujube.

"After the Huns attacked, symbolically resist, let the defenders of the small city withdraw into the big city" Jian Wu squinted his eyes and ordered: "Let people leave more porcelain and enamel for the Huns" In the eyes of Thorn Wu, these Huns were really stupid In other words, the desire for profit is too much They marched south from Zaoyang, looting and searching all the villages and cities abandoned by the Han army, scraping the ground and digging up pickles and pickles that the people had hidden in the cellars As for those large and small cans of daily necessities, they were all taken away.

So that now behind the butts of the Huns, there is a cluster dedicated to transporting and protecting these so-called trophies.

Perhaps seven years ago, the Huns could have played like this.

But now It's not about looking for what death is Therefore, after discovering the greed of these Huns, Thorn Wu and Guan He also took the plan and threw them a large number of ceramic products and all kinds of bulky bronzes I thought that this strategy would probably only confuse some minor nobles.

But Na Cheng thought, the greed of the Huns was really greedy.

Just like the snake in the mythological story, just take the things, not to mention the ceramics and bronzes that the Han army voluntarily gave up.

Even those things that the people didn't have time to take away when they evacuated, or simply didn't want them, the Huns also dug three feet into the ground and dug them out.

They are like locusts, leaving nothing behind wherever they pass.

And to the present, the rear team of the Huns, which should have been the queen of the palace and the cavalry guarding for it, has now almost all been transferred to become baggage soldiers.

And such a result, on the current battlefield, is undoubtedly fatal However, since the enemy is so stupid, then, of course, Thorn Wu will not kindly remind them. will only take advantage of his illness and ask for his life In the evening, Yi Zong led a large army and set up camp next to a county seat in Shanggu County.

"General, the Captain of Uegu County has abandoned the town three hours ago," a lieutenant came over to report.

Yi Zong listened, clenched his fists lightly, and was a little excited.

The name of the entire Shanggu County comes from the deep valley on which Fuyang City is backed.

The so-called castle of the upper valley of the valley is also Fuyang City, which is backed by the valley, is inherently suitable as a fortress, so its main city has been used for military purposes since King Yanzhao was built.

However, as time passed, the population of the upper valley gradually increased, and merchants began to come and go frequently.

So, around the late Warring States period, there was an additional small city connected to this outside the city of Fuyang.

The town was very simple, initially a gathering place fenced off.

But then it developed faster and faster, and now, the size of the small town of Fuyang is similar to that of an ordinary county seat, except that there is no moat, this is almost a standard Han fortress.

Now, Thorn Wu gave up the small city of Fuyang, perhaps in the eyes of the Huns, he took a big advantage.

But They will soon discover that they are only occupying a dispensable place.

In front of them, the strong walls that are three feet high will still be an insurmountable natural danger for them.

Unless the Huns got a jar of forbidden things from Shaofu, as long as the defenders had enough food and drinking water, they could hold out for half a year "Now I'm waiting for Guo Mao to cut off and make yang," Yi Zong said in his heart.

Now on the battlefield of Shanggu, the Huns have undoubtedly fallen into the net of the Han family.

As long as the cavalry led by Guo Mao can cut off the first line of the Great Wall of Zaoyang on time, then a replica of the Battle of Mayi will be staged.

Of course, unlike Mayi, the Huns in the encirclement still have a chance to escape, if they are lucky Therefore, in fact, the enemy of Shanggu is no longer within the scope of Yizong's key thinking, and if the Han family has gathered such a huge army and cannot eat more than 30,000 Huns, it will be too wasteful.

For the current Yizong, how to win at the minimum cost, and then quickly go north and continue to eat the enemy of Yuyang is what he has to consider. t1706231537:
