Chapter 130: The Fall of the Huns and Han(2/2)
Liu Yuan, the emperor of the Huns Han Dynasty, died in battle when breaking through!
"Father!"
When Liu Yao saw that Liu Yuan, who had adopted him, was shot to death, he was distraught and could only endure the pain and break through.
Keeping here is nothing more than a life of vain.
Only by living can you avenge Liu Yuan.
"It's a pity that a team of Hun cavalry escaped."
Sun Shangxiang rode out on a horse, carried an arrow bag, and was ordered to intercept the Hun cavalry who had left the city with Zhou Tai.
Although Sun Shangxiang is not old, she has participated in several battles with Zhang Hua and has gradually learned to stand alone.
Ancient military generals were not very old.
Some brave generals have already taken to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
"Your Highness, according to the prisoner's instructions, the enemy general you shot and killed by you seems to be Liu Yuan, the emperor of the Huns Han State..."
Zhou Tai held a captive Xiongnu man in one hand and identified the Xiongnu general who was shot and killed by Sun Shangxiang. When he learned that the other party was the leader of the Hun Han State, his mood was also complicated.
Sun Shangxiang actually killed an emperor.
"That's great, now I'm the first general in Xia Town!"
Sun Shangxiang was lucky enough to shoot Liu Yuan and made a great contribution. Why did Zhang Hua even want to make her a general this time?
Sun Shangxiang is currently the youngest captain in Xia Town.
"Congratulations to His Highness the Princess."
Although Zhou Tai regretted that Liu Yao would escape, Sun Shangxiang killed Liu Yuan and made great contributions.
As soon as Liu Yuan, the leader of the Han Dynasty of the Huns, died, the towns and towns surrendered in a letter to Zhang Hua.
After Liu Yuan escaped, the Han army garrison in Linjin Town had already opened the door to surrender to the besieged Xia army, and Zhang Hua successfully entered Linjin Town.
"Linjin Town originally had a population of 40,000, but after this war, there was only 30,000 left. It is estimated that the population of Liu Yuan's entire territory was less than 600,000."
Zhang Hua entered Linjin Town and checked the territory of Linjin Town. He found that Linjin Town had only a population of 30,000.
In order to go south, Liu Yuan recruited a large number of strong men. After Liu Yuan was defeated, these strong men fled everywhere, some people died in battle, and some people had not returned to the town yet.
The Huns fled the most in the Han Dynasty.
The Huns came to rely on Liu Yuan's reputation. After Liu Yuan's death, the Huns went north to the Hetao Plain.
There are also a few Hun tribes who choose to rely on Zhang Hua who won.
The Hun tribes could provide Changshui Hu cavalry for the Changshui camp, so these Hun tribes became the source of troops.
Liu Yao and Wang Mi fled into the northern mountains with some of their troops, became bandits, and became remnants of the Huns and Han Kingdom.
Apart from the dead in the battle, the fleeing Xiongnu tribes, and the population plundered by Liu Yao and Wang Mi, the Huns and Han Kingdom had a population of about 450,000 left.
"This place will be renamed Linjin County."
Zhang Hua conquered the Han Dynasty of the Xiongnu and established a new Linjin County.
Linjin County and Huayin County had a population of 800,000, becoming a quasi-first-class force that the Tang Dynasty forces dare not underestimate.
Liu Yuan of the Huns and Han Dynasty was originally a hero of a generation. He could call up to 70,000 troops, not a weak force. Zhang Hua annexed Liu Yuan's territory and naturally became one of the overlords of the 800-li Qinchuan.
The only regret is that a large number of Xiongnu tribes moved north because of Liu Yuan's death in battle, and the Huns and Han Kingdom lost their most important military source and their vitality was greatly damaged.
Secondly, in the Battle of Weibei, a large number of young and powerful people in the Huns and Han Kingdoms were killed or fled, resulting in a decrease in the source of troops.
Liu Yuan was shot and killed by Sun Shangxiang, which was also an unexpected ending for Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua had to make someone remember Sun Shangxiang's contribution.
Shooting the emperor is a great contribution.
Maybe Sun Shangxiang can become a general even.
Zhang Hua smiled bitterly, and then began to incorporate Liu Yuan's troops, attack Liu Yuan's remnants, and consolidate his power.
Twenty thousand Tang troops were attacking Huashan Town where Deng Ai and Zhao Ponu guarded. The Tang army's catapult had destroyed a city wall. The soldiers and horses on both sides repeatedly fought for the gap, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed into a river.
The commander of the Qihuo commander Tian Ruiqiuyou came to support Deng Ai and Zhao Ponu. More than a thousand Qihuo troops blocked the gap and exchanged their lives with the Tang army.
The Qihuo Army became stronger and stronger as the battle was fought. Blood mist visible to the naked eye filled the Qihuo Army. The Qihuo Army was like a bloody god of war. Even if it was cut by a Tang sword, it stabbed the Tang army's throat with the spear in its hand!
The Tang army has excellent armor, and only a few parts are weaknesses.
The Qihuo Army fought to the death to fight against the Tang army, and exchanged life for life, and sacrificed its life to attack the weaknesses of the Tang army.
Wang Ping led the Wudang Feijun and shot the light infantry and light cavalry of the Tang army with poisonous arrows. The poisoned Tang army struggled in pain on the ground, and its wounds quickly festered.
"The loss has reached two thousand, and it is still impossible to break through Huashan Town."
The Tang army general Qi Bi Heli's face turned pale.
He personally took the battle and attacked Huashan Town continuously, losing 2,000 Tang troops, but still could not attack the city.
A Tang cavalry galloped from the north, rolled down the slow-moving horse, and then stabilized his body and said to Qieheli: "General, the Huns Han State was defeated in Weibei, and the 60,000 troops were almost wiped out! It is rumored that Liu Yuan, the Emperor of the Huns Han State, died in battle, and all parts of the Huns Han State have surrendered to Zhang Hua!"
"Liu Yuan is really a waste!"
When Qibi Heli heard that Liu Yuan's 60,000 troops were wiped out, his face looked even more ugly.
Zhang Hua did not have 60,000 troops in the entire Huayin County, but Liu Yuan led 60,000 people to the south, but was killed by Zhang Hua?
If it were 60,000 Tang troops, Huayin had already been wiped out!
If Liu Yuan died in battle, the Tang army that attacked Huayin County would be passive and might have to retreat. Otherwise, if Zhang Hua incorporated the troops from the Huns and Han countries to move south, then the 20,000 Tang army of Qibing Heli might be severely damaged.
"General, what should we do?"
"retreat."
After all, Qibing Heli was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. After discovering that the situation was not right, he gave up attacking Huashan Town and retreated to Fenghuang Town.
Originally, Liu Yuan's army of 60,000 was the main force in attacking Huayin County.
As a result, Liu Yuan was defeated, and Qibian Heli's 20,000 Tang troops could not defeat Zhang Hua, who annexed the Han Dynasty of the Huns.
Deng Ai, Zhao Ponu, Wang Ping, and Tian Rui witnessed the Tang army retreating, but did not go out of the city to pursue it.
The Tang army killed two thousand people in the siege, while Deng Ai lost four thousand people.
After all, Deng Ai's troops were not elite, but light armored troops. If he left the city without authorization, he would be defeated by the Tang army.
News of the destruction of the Huns' Han Kingdom spread in the 800-mile Qinchuan, and Zhang Hua's reputation once again shocked the princes of Qinchuan.
After planting the fields for a while, Zhang Hua sent troops again to attack a Qinchuan force, and the princes were already scared.
In the Battle of Weibei, the 60,000 Huns and Han troops were destroyed, which made the princes know that Zhang Hua had the ability to defeat tens of thousands of troops.
Especially the 20,000 Tang troops of the famous Tang general Qi Bi Heli did not get any benefits.
"This person may become my enemy."
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who held a party in Chang'an, received a reward from the front general Qie Bili. The Huns' Han Kingdom was destroyed and Liu Yuan died in battle. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang realized that Zhang Hua was a terrible opponent.
