Chapter 27 Raid from behind
After resolving Maodun's envoy, in order to prevent the Huns' royal court from launching an attack on the Fox and Wolf King tribe after finding out, Hu Muchun ordered the camp to move east immediately.
The Fox Wolf King tribe is not only warriors. In addition to teams of Hun soldiers, there are also many women and children who are marching along with the brigade.
Many Hun soldiers jumped off their horses and took good care of their families along the way.
Before experiencing the conflicts within the Fox and Wolf King tribe, Xiang Ye had no good feelings for the Huns. But when he was walking towards the east with these Huns, he actually had some feelings for these foreign races.
They are the same people. No matter which ethnic group they are, they are all made of flesh and blood. They all have emotions and depend on and care for their relatives.
Xiang Ye turned around and looked at the Xiongnu brigade behind him, and said to Di Zhen: "We should not enter Yan State first. Enter from the border between Yan State and Xia State. Through Xia State, heading west. I will lend you Linhe to your tribesmen for the time being. Isn't Aries loyal to you? It is easier to contact the Aries King when I get there."
Di Feng looked forward, nodded and said to Xiang Ye, "Everything is what you think is. It's just that we need to recuperate for a few days after entering the territory of Xia. Linhe is too far away."
"Li Xinpeng, Wei Feng, Bai Fu is confronting King Zuo Guli of the Xiongnu. We can attack King Zuo Guli from behind. After they are dispersed, I will get you some food and supplies. Then I will send someone to escort you to Linhe." At this point, Xiang Ye narrowed his eyes. A killing intention flashed in his eyes and said coldly: "Since Zang Tu wants to kill me, I must not let him live a good life. I will not accompany you to Linhe this time."
Di Shi sighed and said with some melancholy: "You Central Plains people are much more complicated than us Xiongnu. The Xiongnu only knows who they are loyal to. However, the Central Plains people are thinking about how to make others loyal to themselves. No wonder Maodun has returned in recent years. However, the Central Plains people have been killing each other."
Xiang Ye didn't say anything, but his heart was filled with endless emotion. If it weren't for the ambitions of the people in the Central Plains, and his ambition was so narrow that he only possessed the land of the Central Plains. Therefore, after Xiang Yu enfeoffed the world, the heroes' turbulent hearts still did not settle down. They all coveted greater rights and more land.
It was precisely because of the ambition that Zang Tu secretly bribed the assassin and attacked him. The two tigers and more than ten guards would stay on the land of the Huns forever. He was determined to eradicate Yan State and expand the territory of Xia State.
They led the Fox and Wolf King tribe together with Di Bu and Hu Muchun for two days before they arrived at the border between Yan and Xia.
From here, you can reach Guyang dozens of miles southwest. Xiang Ye had already smelled a fighting atmosphere from afar.
"Gather the army immediately. The Huns Zuo Guli King is attacking Guyang. Let's hit them from behind." Xiang Ye turned his head and said to Hu Muchun: "This battle determines the survival of the Fox and Wolf King tribe and also determines the survival of my Daxia. I hope we can unite and fight back against Zuo Guli."
Hu Muchun nodded and said nothing. He knew very well that once his troops launched an attack on King Zuo Guli, from the moment the attack began, the Fox and Wolf King tribe would be excluded from the Huns by the entire Huns. If the Xia Kingdom could not tolerate them in the future, they would have nowhere to stay.
However, Hu Muchun had no other choice at this time. He killed the envoy sent by Maodun to the Fox Wolf tribe. This crime alone could have been cut into pieces by his back. He could no longer go back to the Huns.
"The Fox Wolf King." Di Yi, who was standing beside him, saw Hu Muchun's hesitation, leaned forward and said to him, "I swear to the Kunlun God. As long as I, Di Yi, can kill Maodun, I will definitely be named Zuoxian King of the Great Huns in the future."
Hu Muchun was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Di Yi meant. He quickly turned over and jumped off the horse and knelt in front of her and said, "I, Hu Muchun, must lead the fox and wolf tribe to serve the Lord."
"Since that's the case, let's go to support Guyang first." Hu Muchun expressed his loyalty to Di Shi, which means that he had completely chosen to stand on the side of Xia Kingdom. Xiang Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said to him: "Wolf King, please order all the troops and go with me."
Hu Muchun responded and stood up and said to the two generals of the Fox Wolf tribe behind him: "You two should quickly order 20,000 troops and follow me to attack Zuo Xianwang. The rest of them escorted the woman and the children to follow behind and walk slowly. Try to avoid any forces that do not belong to our Fox Wolf tribe."
Li Xinpeng stood on the wall of Guyang City, looking at the Huns flags outside the city that covered the sky and the sun without blinking.
From time to time, the Xiongnu King Zuo Guli would personally take a few people to patrol near the city wall. Wei Feng and Bai Fu repeatedly wanted to shoot him while he was patrolling. However, the Zuo Guli was very cunning. He always wandered outside the range of their bows and arrows and crossbows. He did not move a step closer to the city wall.
"It's been a month of confrontation with them. The food and grass in the city are getting less and less. Should we go out of the city to fight?" Bai Fu was trapped in Guyang City for almost a month. He couldn't help but ask Li Xinpeng to fight.
This time when he went on the expedition, Xiang Ye called Li Xinpeng to take charge, and Bai Fu and Wei Feng assisted him. So he had to stick to it. Bai Fu and Wei Feng had no choice.
Li Xinpeng shook his head and said to Bai Fu: "We just have to stick to it. Now I am a major general in Daxia. I can't afford the losses. I have inspected the food and grass in the city. I can still hold on for more than ten days. I will hold on for a few more days. The Xiongnu will definitely retreat if they are scarce."
"Looking at the Huns, they were just outside the city, but they couldn't fight. They were almost like a bird." Bai Fu depressedly pounded the bluestone on the city wall with his fist. But Li Xinpeng insisted on not going to fight. He had no choice. He could not disobey the military order and send troops privately.
Wei Feng stood aside and said nothing. After a while, he suddenly pointed to the rear of the Huns and said to Li Xinpeng and Bai Fu: "Look. What is that."
The two of them looked behind the Hun army in the direction of Wei Feng's fingers. They saw a piece of smoke rolling towards Guyang.
Looking at the smoke and dust rolling towards Guyang quickly, the three of them all widened their eyes. Li Xinpeng murmured: "That wouldn't be the Huns transporting food and grass, right?"
"Don't worry. Fight with them. If they were asked to send the food and grass, the Huns would not starve to death. We would be starved to death in the city first." Bai Fu pulled out his long sword from his waist and shouted to the Tianji Camp general not far away: "Click the troops and follow me out of the city to fight the Huns."
The general responded and hurriedly ran down the city wall to summon troops.
Li Xinpeng did not stop Bai Fu. Instead, he said to Wei Feng: "General Wei. You immediately lead the army to defend the city. Use bows and arrows to suppress the situation. I will go out of the city with General Bai to fight the Huns."
Wei Feng bowed to Li Xinpeng and responded. He ordered people to mobilize the members of the Sharp Shooting Camp to climb to the top of the city immediately.
Guyang City finally opened after being closed for nearly a month. When the city gate was opened, King Zuo Guli rode on the horse and said to the general beside him with a smile on his face: "The people of Central Plains can't help but be able to hold back. Since they have opened the door, we will cover it and kill it."
The Hun generals on the side agreed with King Zuo Guli. Just as they were about to order their troops to launch an attack on Guyang City, a provocation ran over and said to King Zuo Guli: "Big King, behind our army, there is an army rushing towards here quickly. From the flag, it should be the army of the Fox and Wolf King."
King Zuo Guli frowned, pondered for a moment and said to the horse, "The Fox and Wolf King has always been loyal to Di Juci. I have never heard of the Great Shanyu asking them to come and support us. Explore again."
The horse stumbled and turned around and ran towards the direction where he discovered the army of the Fox and Wolf King.
Xiang Ye and Hu Muchun led 20,000 warriors of the Fox and Wolf King tribe to rush towards the army of Zuo Guli. Along the way, they also found some of the probes sent by Zuo Guli. But now the military situation is so hot that they can no longer deal with the scouts.
Twenty thousand warriors of the Fox and Wolf King tribe waved their scimitars and rushed towards King Zuo Guli's army.
Bai Fu led the Tianji Camp troops to take the lead in killing out of Guyang City. As soon as he left the city, he ordered all soldiers to list their formations and lift the crossbow arrows.
He knew very well that the Huns were all heavy cavalry. If they used the cavalry of Xia Kingdom to face the enemy, they would definitely suffer great losses. Fighting against the Huns was to use a crossbow to suppress the situation and prevent their heavy cavalry from rushing to the forefront.
After Li Xinpeng's Huben Camp left the city, he quickly listed a spear formation behind Tianji Camp. He just waited for the Huns' cavalry to approach. They then took over the position of Tianji Camp to fight the enemy.
Because the two battalions had few cavalry, almost all of them adopted a defensive stance. However, the Huns were still in an offensive position because of their cavalry's mobility because of their good cavalry.
"Kill." The two armies were confronting each other. A sound of killing sounded from behind the army of Zuo Guli. The Hun cavalry with blue cloth tied on their arms, led by the Huns' fox and wolf king and Xiang Ye, rushed straight towards the army of Zuo Guli.
The army of the Xiongnu Zuo Guli, who was preparing to fight to the death with the Xia army led by Li Xinpeng and Bai Fu, was not wary of the army that suddenly emerged from behind. The formation was immediately chaotic.
The clan of the Fox and Wolf King wore the same armor as the King Zuoguli tribe. But they knew very well that the ones with blue cloth strips on their arms were their own people. After the tribe of the King Zuoguli was dispersed, they didn't know which side was the enemy and which side was me. The people who were killed were overturned, and they cried and howled.
