There is an open space on the south bank of the Han River, located between Hetangguan and Xixian County.
The distance from the north bank to the south bank of Han River is about half a mile. It is an extremely wide natural moat.
The two places are about fourteen miles apart and can usually be seen in Dingjun Mountain.
But at this time, the thick fog blocked the view, which was the gap in the security team's defense.
Its terrain is intertwined with hills and flat dams, and rice and wheat are grown there.
This is about seven miles away from Dingjun Mountain, which is where the defense is weak.
It is late autumn now, the rice has been harvested long ago, and wheat is currently being planted.
The place where the Hu people came ashore was towards Hetangguan, which was a shallow river beach.
This place is about two miles away, so there is no fear of being discovered by the security team, not to mention the thick fog now.
Xi County is Xi County because it is in the west.
The captain who wanted to slaughter the city just now was named Wu Xi. He led a thousand men and held a scimitar in his hand.
Wu Xi looked at the surging Han River, spit out thick phlegm, and said softly: "Han River, you used to be the moat of the southern barbarians, but now you have become the river of hell for the southern barbarians."
If it were not required by military discipline, he would have looked up to the sky and laughed.
They kept moving toward the west to make room for crossing the river behind them.
The Hu people will not do it if they don't do it this time. They must do it thoroughly and directly invest 30,000 troops.
Anyway, Hetan Pass is still ten miles away from Xi County, and there are farmland and hills in the middle, which is enough to arrange these 30,000 troops.
Since it was late autumn, the fields were already dry, so no one would fall into the mud.
Hadleji made up his mind this time to take advantage of the thick fog where no one could be seen, and use a sneak attack to directly take away the home of the security group in Xi County.
Row after row of barbarians abandoned their sheepskin boats on the south bank and came to the shore to expand.
Hadleji and Zhang Liang were the last to arrive at the south bank by sheepskin boat, and he wanted to participate in the battle personally.
Seeing that all 30,000 of his troops were safely ashore, Hadelaji couldn't help but be overjoyed.
War depends on the right time, place, and people. They didn't expect that God would help them, let alone that they would land smoothly.
But his feelings were quickly broken, and the person who broke it was none other than Zhang Liang, his most trusted military advisor.
Arriving at the south bank, Zhang Liang bowed to Hadeleji and said, "General Ha, I have something to ask of you."
"What's going on?" Hadelaji couldn't help but frown.
"General Ha, the southern barbarians in Xi County are the most worthy of respect. Xi County also has the weapons and craftsmen that the Khanate needs most. With these, it will not be a problem for the Khanate to conquer the world." Zhang Liang bowed respectfully again and said, "Belong to I beg you not to massacre the city."
Hadeleji thought for a while and asked, "Is it because you are also a Han?"
"This is just one aspect. The people of Xixian County are different from other southern barbarians in terms of their fighting ability, fighting strategies and weapons. Obtaining these will help the general like never before." Zhang Liang said cautiously, fearing that he would see what he was thinking. .
After all, he is a Han Chinese, and he really cannot bear to have his fellow Han people being massacred under his own eyes.
Seeing Hadeleji's silence, Zhang Liang thought for a while and said decisively: "The last appreciation meeting held in Xi County, there were hundreds of thousands of pick-up cards. This is a wealth that can rival the wealth of the country."
"Okay, here's the order, only rob the wealth, don't massacre the city. Otherwise, we will kill without mercy." Hadleji said to the soldiers around him with a smile on his face.
I came to fight, and I wanted to massacre the city. Of course, I don’t have to massacre the city if I have wealth.
What's more, this wealth is almost equivalent to the annual income of the Khanate.
It seems that this sneak attack across the river is really a good harvest of both credit and wealth.
When the soldiers heard that there was so much wealth, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly sent orders.
"Commander Zhang, you are really the lucky star arranged by the gods to come to me." Hadeleji laughed loudly, and patted Zhang Liang's shoulder with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, "After we capture Xi County, I will give it to you." It’s a big credit.”
Zhang Liang's thin body swayed and almost fell down, his face was a little pale.
What he was thinking was, "For the Han people in West County, this is all I can do. God bless me."
"He is indeed a scholar." Hadleji laughed loudly and waved his hand, "Attack to Xi County."
Wu Xi led a thousand barbarians, braved the rolling thick fog, and ran as quietly as possible toward Xixian County.
What made Wu Xi happy was that after running four miles, Nanman didn't even notice.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted in a deep voice: "Speed up the pace."
After speaking, he took the lead in speeding up his pace.
"Blessed by the immortal God, the thick fog gradually dissipated." Wu Xi said happily while running.
"Woof woof, woof woof." Suddenly several dogs barked, coming from the front, and there was the sound of jingling bells.
Although the front is not clear, it seems to be a small hillside.
In the haze, I could barely see.
It seems that there is a village on the hillside. There are green bamboos in front and there are many trees on the mountain. It should be a village.
The centurion beside him looked at him and asked: "General, what about the village?"
"Kill them, leaving no chickens or dogs behind." Wu Xi looked at his eyes and said in a deep voice.
A centurion hurried over with his men, and was soon swallowed up by the thick fog.
The sound of barking came continuously, and the sound of jingling bells also followed.
Soon, the barking and clanking sounds gradually faded away, and it seemed that the dogs had been driven away by them.
Hearing the dog run away, Wu Xi fell into deep thought.
If there are war horses, none of these dogs can escape.
But this time when they passed the sheepskin boat, they couldn't carry war horses at all, otherwise these hateful dogs wouldn't be able to escape at all.
This sheepskin boat is made of thirteen sheepskin embryos with a row of wooden sticks on top.
It can only carry four or five barbarians, and cannot carry war horses at all.
You know, a war horse weighs at least a thousand kilograms, and some even weigh two thousand kilograms.
If the sheepskin boat is loaded with war horses, it will roll directly to the Han River to feed the fish.
While he was thinking, the centurion had already ran over.
He said to Wu Xi: "General Wu, I feel a little strange."
"What's weird? Tell me quickly." Wu Xi asked impatiently.
"This village can accommodate more than a hundred people, but there are no people at all." The centurion replied while breathing.
Wu Xi couldn't help being shocked and looked at the centurion in disbelief: "There is no one living in such a big village?"
The centurion nodded, with a blank look in his eyes, feeling incredible.
"Hurry up and lead the way and hide in the village." Wu Xi's face changed drastically, and he immediately ran towards the courtyard, "This is a southern barbarian trick."
"General Wu, why did you go to the village instead of attacking Xi County?" the centurion followed him, panting, and asked in confusion.
"There is no one in the yard. What does it mean?" Wu Xi ran quickly, "It means that the Nanman expected that we were going to sneak attack and made all preparations. Otherwise, how could there be no one in the village?"
"General Fog, where did these Nanman go?" the centurion asked panting as he ran after them.
Wu Xi glared at him and said breathlessly: "How do you know this? It may be in Xi County or other places. Hurry up, otherwise it will be too late."
After saying that, he ran into the village first.
There are about twenty families in this village, and one of them is obviously a big family. From the outside, this big family occupies about five acres of land.
This big house is nice, the walls are made of blue bricks, and the defense is strong.
To his great joy, it was a good place to hide the cavalry.
This large house had a gate with stone lions on both sides. Wu Xi took the lead and hurried in.
After he ran in, the two centurions behind him ran in with a group of barbarians.
Just as I ran in, the ground suddenly shook. Was it an earthquake?
All the Hu people were shocked. This was not an earthquake.
They were already familiar with the sound, "Boom, boom, boom."
Because most of the Hu people are cavalry, of course they know the origin of the sound.
If the Hu people have cavalry coming, they are not afraid.
They are not only cavalry, but also archers, the nemesis of the Southern Barbarian cavalry.
However, in order to make a sneak attack, all their infantrymen crossed the river and became infantrymen.
Thinking of this, these barbarians turned pale, some were trembling, and even their upper and lower teeth were knocking against each other.
"Close the gate and get ready for war. There are green bricks here. There is food and water. What are you afraid of?" Wu Xi looked at the green bricks all around, calmed down and said to the centurion and soldiers beside him.
After hearing this, the barbarians temporarily became quiet.
Chen Bo and Chen Hua each led two thousand cavalry at Hetan Pass, and they looked at each other.
The two of them looked a little anxious, and kept looking towards the hazy sun in the east, as if they were waiting for something.
Both of them were tall war horses, with their thick nostrils constantly spitting out white gas.
But the war horse was silent because its mouth was tightly tied with a rope.
Ta-ta-ta, tap-ta, at this moment the sound of a horse's hooves came over.
The two looked at each other and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound of hooves.
The clicking sound gradually came closer, and the messengers carried red, blue and white flags on their backs.
When they were about ten feet away from each other, the messenger's horse suddenly stood up, its hooves in front kept kicking in the air.
All the cavalrymen looked at the messenger and nodded. They were indeed worthy of being called the messenger, and their riding skills were superb.
The messenger reined in his horse tightly, waved the red flag on his back, and shouted loudly: "General Wang has ordered, all attack."
"Bah, bah", they spit to the ground.
Chen Bo and Chen Hua were spitting not spit, but real money, that is, copper coins.
It's really uncomfortable to hold this thing in your mouth, but you have to hold it in your mouth to prevent it from making any noise.
Not only did they hold it in their mouths, but so did their four thousand subordinates.
The two of them took out the charge horns on their backs and blew them, and the whining sound echoed in the air.
All the cavalry were overjoyed when they heard this sound. They had been there for almost an hour and felt that their feet were almost numb.
They spit out the copper coins in their mouths one after another, and cut off the rope above the horse's mouth with their knives or swords.
The horses were so happy that they were freed from their restraints. They snorted one after another, let go of their hooves, and rushed forward.
Chen Bo carefully took back the Charge and stuck it on his waist. This weapon was only available to generals, deputy generals and above.
He cupped his hands towards Chen Hua and said: "Zimei (Chen Hua), the Hu people on the shore will be left to you. We must not let the Hu people escape back to the north bank."
He is the temporary person in charge, so he naturally has to explain himself.
"Zilang (Chen Bo's courtesy name), don't worry. This time we are catching turtles in an urn, and this time the barbarians have no wings to fly." After saying that, he pulled the reins of his horse, pulled out his sword to kill the beard, and rushed towards the bank of Han River.
At this time, the sun finally showed its white smiling face, making people and horses feel a little warm.
This is secondary. The most important thing is that the thick fog began to dissipate.
Hadeleji was extremely happy, and he and Zhang Liang walked about a mile forward with three thousand soldiers.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and then there was a rumble. This was the sound of cavalry.
The expressions of the two people changed drastically. They had no cavalry, and it was obviously the sound of cavalry.
Hadeleji glared at Zhang Liang hatefully, wishing he could kill him with the big knife in his hand.
But this was no longer of any help. He shouted loudly: "I've been tricked. Go back quickly and return to the north shore."
"It's useless. They have already thought of what General Ha has thought of." Zhang Liang wished he could punch himself. He had really thrown himself into a trap.
But he didn't know how the security team did this.
Hadleji couldn't bear it anymore and swung the big knife at Zhang Liang fiercely, but Zhang Liang did not run away.
He just kept his eyes idle and muttered: "My life is at stake."
My ears heard a buzzing sound, which was obviously the sound of a machete being swung.
"Is this what death is like?" Suddenly, his head felt cold and he couldn't help but say.
"Why didn't you run?" I heard a voice in my ear, but this voice was very familiar. "Why didn't he kill me?"
Zhang Liang shook his head and opened his eyes, but his eyes were blank.
He saw that Hardlucki's sword was carrying an object, which seemed to be his hat.
Just now he was slashing at his own head, but in the end he chopped off his hat.
He sighed and said, "This is a mistake I made, and of course I have to bear it myself."
"Although you are a scholar, you are actually a warrior." Hadelaji took back the sword in his hand.
"Besides, there's no place to run if you want to." He said boldly when he saw Hadeleki retracting his sword.
"You are honest, I will spare your life this time." Hadley looked at him, "Stop talking nonsense and think of a way quickly."
Zhang Liang took a look in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he said: "There is a hillside ahead, and there seems to be a temple."
"Hurry up, as long as you go up the mountain, you won't be afraid of the cavalry." Hadeleki squinted his eyes and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The sun has come out at this time, and the hillside and temple are getting clearer and clearer.
Hadleji looked at the temple while running.
I saw that this temple was not small and was surrounded by red brick walls.
Not only was it large, but it was also strong and obviously easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The temple is getting closer and closer, and the sun is getting brighter. The temple's plaque can already be seen.
There are three large Chinese characters on the horizontal plaque, Guandi Temple.
All the barbarians ran desperately towards the hillside, and Zhang Liang also ran desperately.
He just ran out of breath for a while and then suddenly stopped running.
"I haven't killed you yet, why didn't you run away?" Hadleji turned around and asked when he saw no one around him.
