Chapter two hundred and ninety third victory in the first battle
Before the Central Imperial Army left Xiaoguan, the land of Yongqin was already in a panic. The prefects and county magistrates from all over the country received orders from King Sima Jian and King Yan Sima Ji to gather the people, close the city gates, and strengthen the walls and clear the fields. Fengyi County, Fufeng County, Longxi County, Jincheng County, and Tianshui County strictly implemented curfews to ensure that the city would not be lost due to internal and external cooperation.
It was already autumn, and all the food that could be harvested had been harvested, and it was destined to be unable to be collected. If some cities were short of food, Sima Ji could only say sorry. War always had to pay the price, and he would quell the rebellion as soon as possible. If he could not, he would not blame himself for consuming it.
The imperial cavalry led by Meng Guan was in correspondence with this scene. The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and the flags with the letter Jin were rustling in the northwest wind. Meng Guan was in front of the army, facing the Hun cavalry on the opposite side, with a determined face. According to the imperial enlistment, he had already put his life and death aside. The war had only to fight bravely with his strong and fierce fighting.
"General, the Hun cavalry should not be underestimated." The deputy general of the Tooth Gate beside him spoke worriedly.
"You are still the deputy... the deputy general of Yamen." Meng Guan took a deep breath. Sometimes he couldn't understand the words of the King of Yan. Over time, he had been affected by his oral language. After adjusting, he said, "A real man died for the country. The two prefectures of Yong and Qin were the places where Emperor Xuan led his troops to fight for many years. If the consequences of the defeat were unimaginable, I will accompany you to fight bloody battles and restore the stability of Guanzhong."
Meng Guan voluntarily went to war, and on the day he went to war, he had already expected what happened today. He had already returned with ambitions and the general was brave enough to go back forever. When he saw the Hun cavalry of Hao Du's troops, he not only did not have any fear, but instead made up his mind to eat the other party raw.
Drawing a long knife from his waist, pointing at Hao Du from a distance, Meng Guan shouted in anger, "The Imperial Guard quells the rebellion and kills Hao Du."
The imperial guards quelled the rebellion and killed Hao Du..., a neat and huge sound came from the Luoyang cavalry. Many of the Hun cavalry's war horses seemed to be affected. The chaotic neighing and uneasy steps caused a small commotion on the Hun cavalry's side.
Against the Luoyang Central Imperial Army, which is the best in the world, these Huns who have lived in the mainland for many years have no idea. The confrontation between the Han Dynasty and the Huns has lasted for many years, but it is obvious who will be the final winner.
But at this time, the two armies were not in a time to imagine, and Meng Guan did not give them this opportunity. After using Qi Drum instead of war drums, the next moment, the Central Imperial Army, with a strict formation, had already charged towards the Hun cavalry.
Meng Guan knew the truth of a single move, and did not keep his hands and led the way to join the impact. The general armor on his body was particularly obvious, telling the imperial cavalry behind him that he was desperate this time. It is actually not common for generals to lead the way. Only those who are humble from a man but are extremely eager for achievements will do it. With such a general, the morale of the cavalry behind him will naturally be greatly boosted and join the charge.
I have to say that this kind of charge really caught Hao Du off guard. So far, he had never encountered such an opponent. He quickly ordered the coach Qu on the left to lead the same cavalry out of the formation to snipe. He was preparing to take advantage of his military strength to surround Meng Guan, and by defeating the Luoyang Imperial Army, he slashed the might of the world's most powerful army, so that the Great Jin Dynasty knew that it was not easy to mess with.
"Get out of here!" It was Meng Guan, who was in his prime, took the lead and knocked down the Huns who were rushing towards him. The Luoyang cavalry behind him followed and tore a gap in the beginning. Within a few breaths, the Hun cavalry had been divided into two halves, and the speed was astonishing. Even Hao Du, who had not moved in the distance, could not help but breathe a chill. Since the rebellion, he had never seen such a powerful general.
Hao Du's reaction was also what other Xiongnu Qushuai thought. He did not expect that the same 5,000 cavalry would be cut in half by Luoyang's imperial guards in one encounter. In a blink of an eye, they were defeated. This was simply a one-sided massacre. On the other hand, the Luoyang imperial guards at this time truly showed the true face of the world's number one. Everyone shouted loudly and fought repeatedly, each of them was covered in heavy armor, with a hideous expression on their faces.
The hedge between the Hun cavalry and the Luoyang Imperial Force cavalry was like seeing the snow of the sun. It was not inappropriate idioms, and it was mixed with me. "Don't worry about these defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers, rushing straight to the opponent's own formation and capturing Hao Du alive." Meng Guan shouted loudly with a blood-red sword, leading the troops to continue rushing forward.
As a Hun who lived in the mainland for many years, Hao Du almost forgot about the Huns' words, so he could naturally hear what the enemy troops in front were shouting. His face turned green when he heard this. At this time, the entire army needed him to make a choice.
On the one hand, Hao Du was shocked by the combat effectiveness of the Luoyang cavalry. Is this the Luoyang Imperial Army, known as the world's number one? On the other hand, he was pointed at the nose and called out. If he retreated and spread it out, what would other leaders think of him? But what if he stayed for the battle? Will he fight all his troops?
"General, you can't hesitate anymore. The enemy has rushed towards us." Hao Du was distracted, and the coach Qu around him could no longer bear it and shouted, "Is it an attack or a retreat?"
"Retreat?" Hao Du seemed to have reacted and suddenly became loud and asked back. This was a subconscious question, but in the noisy environment on the battlefield, it instantly caused an avalanche-like effect. In such a noisy environment, no one cares whether their leader uses rhetorical questions or affirmative sentences. They can only hear retreat.
Hao Du's unintentional mistakes, coupled with the one-sided battlefield, the Luoyang Imperial Army's desperate posture directly made many Qu coaches retreat. By the time Hao Du realized it, it was too late. Many cavalrymen had turned their horses and prepared to run away. No matter how Hao Du shouted, it was useless. He cursed a few fierce words. Hao Du could only temporarily avoid his edge and gathered the defeated soldiers to fight another day.
"Chasing!" Meng Guan shouted loudly. He didn't know that such an episode had happened at this time, but he was quick-witted and knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he didn't seize it, he would regret it for the rest of his life. He didn't even hesitate and directly ordered the pursuit.
The cavalry's favorite combat mode is pursuit. When it is pursued, it is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, like a shadow. Meng Guan didn't even care about the prisoners at this time, and he didn't care where the defeated soldiers fled. A pair of eagle eyes stared straight at the direction of Hao Du's retreat, leading the Luoyang Imperial Army behind him to pursue.
The mountains and fields were covered with white flags, covering the clouds and the sun; there were horns of yelling and killing everywhere, which were deafening. The Luoyang Imperial Army was like a tiger coming out of the cage, with the momentum that he would never give up until he achieved his goal, and bit Hao Du's defeated soldiers fiercely.
At this time, Hao Du also knew that because of a small episode, he would face an unprecedented defeat, but he no longer had time to regret it. How to get rid of the pursuers behind him and save his life is the most important thing.
I don’t know when the sky was covered with rain and covered the entire sky, as if it was a sign of something. Even the dazzling sun disappeared without a trace, and the clouds in the sky became lower and lower. There was also a strong wind blowing in the sky, and the branches swayed randomly. The white flag of Dajin, which could not be seen at a glance, was even more angry in the wind and made a whistling sound.
The sudden change of the celestial phenomena was an ominous sign in the eyes of the defeated soldiers who were already in a panic. Meng Guan, who was chasing, did not care about many of them, shouted at the cavalry behind him to help me. The same weather achieved completely opposite results.
Hao Du's defeated troops were spread over ten miles, and only the energetic imperial cavalry took care of them. This would not work. Hao Du still wanted to distance himself and fight again, but time didn't wait for anyone. Meng Guan, who had completely gained the upper hand, would not give him this opportunity. He took advantage of Hao Du's reorganization and defeated Hao Du, who had just gained a foothold, again. At this time, Hao Du was powerless to fight again, and lost the capital to fight with Meng Guan, and could only run for life in a hurry.
Meng Guan chased all the way, won three battles and three times. In the heavy rain, he followed the horse's hoof prints on the road, and finally caught Hao Du, who had only a hundred people left, and captured him alive. He tied up and arrested him. Only then did he remember the matter of captives, and killed one and started to gather the Huns' defeated soldiers.
"After this rain, it seems that the colder it gets worse in the morning." Sima Ji lay in the carriage and lifted the curtain and sighed, "Don't get me wrong. The King of Yan has just followed the army out of Xiaoguan, but something happened to him in the past two days. When he got up, he twisted his waist, so he did not choose to ride a war horse out of the gate.
As soon as he left Xiaoguan, he had already learned that Meng Guan had won the battle. However, he had to meet with Meng Guan until he met. No matter how good he was, he knew that it was always a good thing to win the battle. Before leaving Xiaoguan, Sima Ji had already written a memorial to be prepared to express his merits. He had to make a merit to show his merits. It was not contradictory at all.
A day later, Sima Ji, who was feeling a little uncomfortable on his waist, arrived at the battlefield at that time. When he saw it, he felt that it was a good place to set up camp, so he decided to use the waste and hoard the army here.
"Your Highness, you are here." Meng Guan, who had heard the news for a while, could see that his face was still a little tired, and although he had achieved great victory, he also consumed a lot of energy.
"It's hard for the general to win the first battle, which is comparable to Ma Long's suppression of the Bald Tree's Function Rebellion." Sima Ji gritted his teeth and stood up, his face still, and did not say that his waist was twisted, otherwise Meng Guan might have thought that he was fighting in front of him and King Yan was singing every night behind him, which would be bad.
