Chapter 1: Resurrection from the Dead Chapter 666: The Siege of Baideng

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Because they were unaware of it, Maodun Shanyu and his more than 100,000 Huns cavalry were trapped in it.  The city of Taiyuan was tall, and the Yue defenders were strong in number and combat effectiveness. Although the Huns' cavalry fought fiercely, they were not good at attacking the city.  Therefore, the army was suddenly trapped under Taiyuan City and made no progress for many days.

    Mao Dun gradually became uneasy. In addition to the lack of progress in the siege of Taiyuan, there was another key point, that is, the wise kings on the left and right did not send military reports in time.  This gave him an ominous premonition. Sure enough, not long after, King Youxian, who had been waiting for many days, finally arrived, but what he brought to him was a bolt from the blue.

    The Heshuo grassland was lost, and all the 60,000 to 70,000 Huns warriors were killed by the sword.  Of course, the surprise was not limited to this. The Yue people actually took a detour to attack the Heshuo Grassland. This news made him suddenly worried about the intelligence the Huns had

    He suddenly realized that he had been deceived, and it was a huge deception.  The Vietnamese army was trapped outside Linzi City and was unable to move due to restrictions.  Instead, they traveled thousands of miles between the Central Plains and the grasslands, attacking the hinterland of the Huns

    From beginning to end, this is a scam, a scam against the Huns.

    Mao Dun had no time to blame King Youxian for trusting the so-called Kuai Che envoy and blaming him for carelessly abandoning the Heshuo grassland. When he thought about it carefully, he felt that he was to blame for all this.

    What is even more terrifying is what this means. King Youxian made it clear that the Yue people have a powerful cavalry, which is not inferior to the Huns.  What will this Yue cavalry do after they occupy Heshuo?  Why did the Yue people work so hard to achieve such a big situation?  The answer is obvious

    Now Mao Dun finally realized why he was so successful all the way in Daijun, but couldn't move forward in Taiyuan.  All of this was a strategy of the Yue people. It seemed that the Yue cavalry had already circled behind him and wanted to cut off his retreat He closed the door and beat the dog. It suddenly occurred to Mao Dun that there seemed to be such a move in the Central Plains people's art of war.  ¡­

    After realizing the truth of the matter, it was really frightening. If the Vietnamese were to block it from the north and the south on the narrow boundary east of the river, the consequences would be disastrous.

    On one side is the river.  On one side is the Taihang Mountains. Isn't it just a sack that blocks the north and south?  Careless!  Mao Dun felt regretful at this moment. He wanted revenge so much that he ignored so many important details and was not fully prepared at all.  Even the basic strategic information is not clear

    After all, Maodun Chanyu is also a person who has experienced ups and downs.  He forced himself to calm down and deal with the solution at hand.  After thinking for a while, I came to the conclusion to withdraw the troops.  That's right, we must withdraw our troops as soon as possible!

    Now we can only hope to withdraw from the encirclement before the Vietnamese encirclement, otherwise, it will be a terrible nightmare for them

    Of course, he knew it very well.  It is not easy to evacuate now.  But as long as we retreat near the Great Wall and get close to the grassland, it will be much easier to break out

    So the Xiongnu army was immediately withdrawn at night, and their tents remained outside the city, hoping to confuse the Yue defenders in Taiyuan City.  If they are being chased by the Vietnamese army now, it will definitely delay their retreat

    They thought what they were doing was fairly hidden.  Little did he know that someone had been paying attention to him from the beginning, waiting for the moment for them to retreat.  The news of the arrival of the Heshuo Grassland had been sent to Taiyuan City a day earlier. Wei Liao and Pu Jun had already predicted in advance that the Huns would withdraw their troops.  So I have already made preparations

    At the same time that the Xiongnu army evacuated, the elite troops led by Pu Jun pursued and killed them, causing considerable losses to the Xiongnu. Maodun's plan to evacuate quickly failed.

    And at this moment, Maodun Shanyu received the news.  The Yue army has appeared in Daijun The main force of the Huns has been surrounded.  Now breaking out of the encirclement is only one aspect, reinforcements from outside are the most important.

    The armies of King Xiutu and King Hunxie in Hexi are still far away and cannot be counted on. The only hope is King Zuo Xian's army.  The ideal is beautiful.  Reality is always so ruthless and cruel.

    Mao Dun then received the news.  The troops of King Zuo Xian also fell into a trap. They underestimated the enemy and rushed into Yanshan, but they were caught by King Han Xin of Qi.

    Didn¡¯t King Yin Xu of Yue and Han Xin, King of Qi, fight to the death under Linzi City?  What the hell is going on

    Maodun Shanyu was a little crazy

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Actually, this matter still has to start from the meeting between Yin Xu and Han Xin at the foot of Linzi City that day.

    Han Xin already knew very well at that time that being trapped in the isolated city would lead to death sooner or later. After receiving Yin Xu's promises and coercion, Han Xin had already begun to waver.

    At this time, a piece of news prompted Han Xin to make a quick decision.

      He thought that everything would be fine if Kuai Che was placed under house arrest, but he did not expect that he would actually send an envoy to collude with the Huns This news was detected by Yue Feiying in time and sent to Yin Xu and Han Xin

    When the Huns receive the news, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and go south. This is the consensus of Yin Xu and Han Xin.

    From the very beginning, Han Xin rejected Kuai Che¡¯s request for the Xiongnu to go south, and he hated this kind of barbarian invasion.  They all clearly realized that the Xiongnu going south would be a disaster, and it would be difficult for Yue and Qi to benefit from it. Will the Xiongnu keep their faith with them?

    When they were worried, Yin Xu thought of a way, and that was to take advantage of the situation.  Now that Kuai Che has sent the message, the possibility of the Huns believing it is true and being deceived has greatly increased.  If so, this is undoubtedly a God-sent opportunity

    Yin Xu, who was familiar with the original history, knew very well how serious the Xiongnu's scourge was to the Central Plains. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been conquering the Xiongnu for so many years, but he had never completely solved this problem.  Moreover, multiple conquests were undoubtedly a waste of people and money. Now there is a great opportunity to lure the main force of the Huns to go south, encircle and annihilate them, and save a lot of trouble

    If this battle is successful, the northern border troubles will definitely be completed decades in advance, and may even be solved once and for all It was only at this time that Yin Xu knew that Han Xin had rejected such a tempting strategy, and he also admired and appreciated Han Xin a little more  .  It is precisely because of this that Yin Xu believes that Han Xin will agree to cooperate with him and play a big game of chess together

    So Hedong became a bait, and Wei Liao and Pu Jun were responsible for holding back Maodun Shanyu's main force.  Yin Xu led his army to Guanzhong and went north to attack Heshuo Grassland.

    Han Xin, on the other hand, went directly north and waited for King Zuo Xian in Yuyang and Fanyang near Yanshan.  One rushes thousands of miles away, while the other waits and waits, both are perfectly victorious

    So the two armies merged into one and met near the Great Wall, cutting off the Xiongnu's retreat and giving Moton a "Baideng Siege"
