After entering mid-September, more and more enemy troops gathered at Fukouxing.

On September 12th, a group of Qiang soldiers arrived at the city and launched an attack on the camp.

This was the first battle between the two sides, and it also meant that the Huns finally showed their fangs. They would not sit back and watch the Jin invade the entire Hebei.

When the news came, Shao Xun had led the Silver Spear Left Battalion to Luze Town in the north of Jersey on the mainland, and was in the midst of the governor's encirclement and suppression of Anping.

The battle has been going on for more than half a month, and the troops from all walks of life are working step by step, and the momentum is good.

They are really "step by step". If they don't rush, the advance will be very slow. It's not that they are steady, but they are dawdling, not wanting to use up their strength.

Especially the infantry brigade, always looking for various excuses to slow down, hoping that others will fight first and then he can take advantage.

One person said that the autumn rain continued and the road was difficult to travel.

Later I said that there are many Huns cavalry and I need to take good protection.

After a while, he said that the food and grass in the army were insufficient for three months, and it was best to wait until they were delivered later before setting off.

In short, I found various reasons, and they all sounded quite legitimate.

After repeated strict orders, the various tribes were finally willing to send most of their cavalry ahead of the infantry to attack the Xiongnu's old, weak, women and children.

Liang Fuzhen did not come to Hebei alone. In fact, he had "20,000 riders."

Of course, the so-called "twenty thousand cavalry" does not mean that he has raised 20,000 cavalry. This is too exaggerated. There is no such rule on the grassland.

This actually means that more than 20,000 adult men can be recruited from the tribe he brought over. This is the rule of thumb on the grasslands.

During the Pre-Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were said to have 300,000 string-controllers, but in fact they only meant 300,000 adult men, which corresponds to a total population of about one million.

There were more than 60,000 tribesmen brought to Anping by Liang Fuzun, and they were mainly Xiongnu, accounting for more than half of them. The rest were various miscellaneous people who were distributed in Anping, Qinghe, and Bohai, farming and grazing.

Since the war broke out, all the Huns in Qinghe have withdrawn to Anping.

The Huns in the Bohai Sea defeated part of the Eastern Route Army, which frightened the Jin armies in Leling and the plains. In addition, Cao Yi raided Leling, and Shao Xu had the intention of withdrawing his troops. This road was considered abandoned, and Dun's troops were stationed in the Bohai Sea.

.

But they were not without merit. At least some officials in Qinghe and Bohai were able to revolt and cut off the Xiongnu's external wings.

Su Qiu, the general of Lukou town who came from the north, was cunning and refused to fight head-on with the Huns. He only attacked the Huns' pastures and villages and plundered cattle, sheep and people, without fighting a hard fight at all.

Even when the Xiongnu brigade came, he avoided the battle, knowing that the Huns would be besieged from all sides and would not be able to fight to the end.

If that doesn't work, I will withdraw to Lukou City and stop fighting. Can you still catch me?

The real ones fighting against the Huns were the beggar army who were eager for revenge.

They had a grudge against Shi Le and did not want to see him come back again, so they even tried their best to punish his faults.

Bo Sheng personally led thousands of cavalry and fought against the Xiongnu in successive battles, resulting in heavy casualties.

Yang Dan also worked very hard all the way.

He ran the fastest and had already conquered Nangong County. However, the former army suffered a defeat and was surrounded by more than 3,000 people in the field by the Huns. The entire army was wiped out.

Fortunately, he also had a lot of cavalry on his side, no less than five thousand. After adjusting his tactics, the situation was stabilized.

"More than 100,000 troops, with less than 14,000 cavalry, besieged Liang Fuzhen with 20,000 cavalry, and this is the result..." On the bank of the vast mainland, Shao Xun looked at Liu Hezhu, Liu Hedu and his son who came to see him.

, said: "If I don't come, are you planning to disperse?"

"How dare you, how dare you." Liu Hezhu cried out and said: "Ming Gong, Zhang Jack led his army to defeat in Zhangshui. Thousands of people were killed and injured, and people were in panic. If I hadn't led my fine cavalry to attack the Xiongnu pastureland on the east bank of Zhangshui, and captured the old and weak

Women and children, the Huns will not retreat, and Zhang Jack will kill more people."

Shao Xun snorted coldly and said nothing more.

On paper, Liang Fuzhen can dispatch 20,000 cavalry, which is actually a huge force. In theory, he can kill these local tycoons in Hebei.

The problem is, he also has jars and jars.

There are more than 60,000 Zahu scattered in various places. They do not build forts. They are still half-grazing and half-cultivating. They need a lot of land and live in scattered places. If the enemy cannot be defended outside the country, the old, weak, women and children will not have enough room to move around.

Yes, it is easy to be attacked and captured.

You summon all Ding Zhuang to Anping, what will your family do?

It would be even more chaotic and impossible to gather the entire population under Anping City.

Therefore, the Huns took advantage of the cavalry and achieved several tactical victories, defeating the Eastern Route Army and intimidating the Northern Route Army. However, the South and West Routes camped step by step and continued to advance. They also sent cavalry to capture the old and weak, cattle and sheep of the Huns, and the Huns themselves.

It's also messy.

This is a bad battle. The two sides are rolling in the mud. Sometimes you win and sometimes I win. It's a bad battle, and it feels a bit like noobs pecking each other.

By now, the four armies have actually suffered considerable losses, and they have begun to act cunning and do not want to fight.

Some people even secretly colluded with Liang Fuzhen to engage in a sit-in war.

This is the reason why Shao Xun came here to supervise the battle.

When Liu Hezhu saw that Shao Xun had gone to appease the captured Huns, he quietly walked up to Mrs. Liu and asked in a low voice: "Ye Na, is Mr. Chen... is there...?"

Mr. Liu was milking the cows. Hearing this, he glanced at Liu Hezhu and was too lazy to speak.

Liu Haozhu secretly shouted that something was going on.

In the past, he would be scolded if he mentioned this matter. This time, he just gave him a cold look, showing contempt and disgust, but did not curse him. This is progress.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Ye Na, do you think Liang Fuxian will be defeated?"

"If Thief Shao doesn't come to supervise the battle, this battle will not go on." Mrs. Liu said after milking a bucket of milk.

"But he came, and he brought troops and horses." Liu Hezhu said: "I captured thousands of people and a hundred thousand cattle and sheep. I had robbed enough and didn't want to fight, but when I saw Mr. Chen coming, I forced myself to

We kept our scalp and continued to fight. Our cavalry rushed forward, harassing the Xiongnu pastures, and the infantry followed to occupy the area, tightening the noose step by step. If Liang Fuzhen didn't have the courage to abandon the old, weak, women and children, and rushed outside with his strong men, he

It’s really over.”

Mrs. Liu was a little stunned when she heard this.

Once the grassland tribes know about their pastureland and are charged by the opponent's cavalry, they are not far from destruction.

In the Pre-Han Dynasty, there was a tactic called "breaking nests", which was to lead fine cavalry to attack places where old and weak women and children were grazing.

According to Shao Thief, this is called "attacking the enemy must save you", which makes your cavalry unable to run around and can only fight head-on.

If Liang Fuzhen ran away and led a large group of cavalry in a roundabout way, then the Xiongnu cavalry's families, cattle, sheep, tents and other properties would become the property of the Jin army.

So Liang Fuchan couldn't do this.

He is now gathering men, cattle and sheep while retreating, and then taking advantage of the inconsistent coordination of the four armies, or the opportunity of a certain group of troops to advance unexpectedly, eat some of them, weaken their morale, and struggle to find a chance to win.

He did achieve certain results.

But Anping is so big, and many grazing camps have been looted, resulting in the loss of a large number of people, cattle, sheep, and wealth. It is difficult for him.

So, this is a bad fight.

But as the situation continued, the Jin army might rely on their size advantage to tighten the noose around Liang Fuchun's neck step by step.

Moreover, Shao Xun is here...

This man no longer fights military wars, but fights political wars all day long.

At this moment, he went to comfort the prisoners, returned their belongings, and even gave them a small reward, and then asked the old, weak, women and children to call back their children, nephews, father and brothers.

This is a fatal blow.

Mrs. Liu is not optimistic that Liang Fuxian can survive. In the end, he may become a Huns and fight against Huns...

"Ye Na, Liang Fuzhen is over. Only Shi Le is left in Hebei, who was destroyed overnight." Liu Hezhu said: "Once Chen Gong takes Hebei, the situation will be complete and he can compete with Emperor Pingyang. These are some of the most powerful people in the world.

One, Shi Le is not worth mentioning."

"Bang!" Ms. Liu threw a bucket of milk at Liu Hezhu.

Liu Hezhu hurriedly avoided, but still got milk poured all over his head and face.

"You!" He wanted to yell, but thought about it and held it back.

Mrs. Liu looked to the north, which was the direction of Zhaojun and Zhongshan.

Your husband should be working hard there, right?

At the beginning, she hoped that Da Hu would lead his army to come back and rescue her.

But now, she has given up hope.

After the light in the eyes gradually disappeared, cracks appeared in the embankment of the soul.

Everyone around her was trying to persuade her and pull her into trouble.

Mr. Chen spent time with her day and night, handling government affairs, training his troops, comforting people, and everything was in order.

His focused, confident, and wise appearance while working made Liu subconsciously a little irritated.

She didn't know where this irritability came from, and she didn't dare to delve into the source of this irritability.

She is escaping, and she is trying her best to resist, but the strength of her resistance is like that of a weak Liang Fuqi, whose defeat is expected.

"Ye Na." Seeing his niece in a daze, Liu Hezhu walked over quietly and whispered: "The people who went to the party have come back. Your brother is sitting on the ground raising the price. I don't even dare to tell Mr. Chen."
