Chapter 704 Encirclement

  West of Longxi, Liu Hun led the army to take Guguan lightly, and cut off the Qianghu's escape route to Liangzhou.

  The news quickly spread to Zhongjunju's handrail.

   "Okay! Liu Hun is worthy of being a general that is valued by the princes."

  Yu Fu punched the map on the desk.

  At this time, the Chinese army was only less than a day away from Didao, and Ju Fu consciously slowed down the marching pace.

  If Liu Hun hadn't cut off the north, then the Qiang Hu who besieged Didao would probably flee north into Liangzhou in a panic under his blow.

  As for defeating the Qiang Hu who besieged Didao, Ju Fu didn't have any worries.

  The reason why the Chinese army is the Chinese army is because it has the most powerful combat power.

   "Has there been any news from Didao now? How is the situation?"

  Shu Fu asked Huo Yi who was standing aside.

  Huo Yi quickly replied: "Back to the general, there is no new news. On the other hand, Didao sent people over today to let us march as soon as possible."

   "Also, the front sentry found Qianghu's spies. It is estimated that they have already discovered us."

   Gou Fu said indifferently: "General Chen arrived in Angu County one day earlier than Liu Hun, and now surrounded by three sides, Qiang Hu can only go west."

   "Even if they found us at this time, so what?"

  Huo Yi asked with some concern: "The bald hair department in the west has not heard from them for a long time. What if they don't go to Yanhan as planned?"

  Yu Fu heard the words, turned around, and patted Huo Yi on the shoulder: "General Huo, you are still young, and it is normal for some things to be unexpected."

  He turned back and clicked Daxia County on the map, "This time, we only fought here. Further west, it is the matter of the Bald Hair Department. Whether they can stop the rebels depends on their own abilities."

  Hearing this, Huo Yi became even more worried: "There are nearly 20,000 Didao rebels now, and I heard that there are more than 10,000 who have returned to the west in advance."

  "Without our help, the baldness department may not be able to stop it."

  Gu Fu had a strange smile on his face: "It's better if you can't stop it."

  Seeing the hesitant look on Huo Yi's face, Gou Fu explained: "General Huo, rebellious Hu is a Hu, and the bald department is also a Hu!"

   "If this campaign hurts Longxi Qianghu's vitality, it will only make the bald department take advantage of the opportunity to grow, which is not what Junhou wants to see. What Junhou needs is obedient Huren."

   "Only in this way, the Liangzhou chaos will not recur. The big man can move eastward with peace of mind and return to the old capital."

   "As for the bald hair department, they are not very obedient yet, and they have to endure it."

  Hearing Gou Fu's words, Huo Yi woke up suddenly, and looked at Gou Fu with some horror.

  Ju Fu can say so much, he is already very optimistic about Huo Yi.

  He didn't go into details, and ordered: "Notify the army that today's rest is over, and tomorrow we will rush to the city of Didao."

   "No!"

  Guguan in the north fell into the hands of the Han army, and did not attract the attention of the siege Didao Qianghu.

  In other words, their temporary army is only interested in Didao.

  Of course, because Liu Hun's actions were straightforward, Qiang Hu may not have reacted yet, so what does it mean to them that Guan fell into the hands of the Han army.

  When the news that Angu County in the south also fell into the hands of the Han army came.

   Finally, when I saw the banner of the Han army flying in the east.

   Didao's Qiang Hu suddenly realized that he had been surrounded by the Han army on three sides, and finally became a little flustered.

  For a whole winter, they besieged Didao without stopping, and their soldiers were exhausted.

  Combined with the situation in Guanhan, part of the Qianghu has already left, and the troops have dispersed.

  The Han army arrived at this time, and the timing was excellent.

  In the Qianghu camp outside Didao City, Qu Shuai from all the tribes gathered together and talked a lot.

   "Someone has gone west a few days ago, let's go too."

   "We surrounded Didao for a winter day, and we were about to be defeated. Before the Han soldiers saw it, we ran away first. How can we explain to the warriors in the clan?"

   "Yes, we have more than 20,000 people. I heard that the Han army coming from the east is only 3,000 people. What are you afraid of?"

   "And north..."

   "After defeating this team first, are you still afraid of the north?"

  …

  After arguing for a long time, they finally decided to test it first.

   At this time, Jufu had already led the army and set up camp not far to the east of Didao City.

  When the defenders in Didao City saw the flag of the Han army fluttering high, they were all inspired.

  Di Daochang almost cried out.

   Whole months of isolation and helplessness!

  Outside the city, only Hu Maming was heard, and the Han family’s clothes were never seen. It felt like a child abandoned in the wild.

  Although it wasn’t Wei Jun who came this time, even when they saw the flag of the Han Army, they felt very cordial.

   "Huo Yi, this is your first battle, so be careful."

  Ju Fu saw that Qiang Hu had already dispatched troops ahead, and immediately gave Huo Yi a command.

   "Half of the Modao Camp are experienced elite soldiers. Just pay attention to the sound of drums and flags behind you, and don't advance or retreat at will."

  Huo Yi, who was all in military uniform, cupped his fists: "The general will understand!"

  The whining horn sounded.

  The Han army quickly listed its formation.

  The crossbowmen are trained as usual, and they are in the front row, with their wings protruding slightly forward.

  Although they knew that there were Han troops encircling them on three sides, the Han army that arrived first was only three or four thousand strong, and they didn't even have cavalry.

  The rebellious Qiang only thought it was a Han army eager to make meritorious deeds, pulled out 6,000 people in a panic, and began to press forward.

  They want to try to defeat this Han army. In this case, the Han army on both sides of the north and south will not dare to come easily.

  In the past few months, they have plundered around Didao without a high degree of unified command.

  Although there are many soldiers, they are not concentrated.

   A considerable number of them were scattered around Didao, unable to mobilize for a while.

   Being able to pull out these 6,000 people for testing at once is considered highly efficient.

  The heavy crossbow was rattling, and the arrows of the crossbow shone with a cold light.

  This Han army is no longer a new army that has just entered the battle. Many of them are elite soldiers who have experienced fierce battles.

   Facing Qiang Hu's scattered charge, there was no wave in his heart.

   "Don't panic, just listen to the password well. The barbarian's few troops can't rush in front of you at all."

   Shi Chang saw that the new recruit's face was a little pale, and immediately comforted him.

   "Last year, Cao's bandit was much stronger than the barbarians in front of him. Wouldn't he be killed by Lao Tzu anyway?"

   "Listen to my password and see how I do it. It's very simple!"

  The soldier in charge of measuring the distance held the watch mountain, squinted one eye, and counted silently in his heart.

   Waiting to see that he has entered the range of two hundred steps, he hastily raised a small flag to signal.

  Drums sounded from the handsome stage behind.

"put!"

  As soon as the crossbowman aimed at the heavy crossbow pulled the trigger, the arrow shot through the air.

   The Qianghu cavalry army rushing to the forefront fell down dozens of cavalry at once.

  The well-equipped Han army faced the unprepared rebellious Hu, and it was a one-sided massacre.

  Although it was just a test, the two hundred cavalry could not rush within a hundred steps of the Han army, which really surprised the leader of Qianghu.

   The whining sounded again.

  The Han army waited for a while, and then began to move forward alternately.

   Obviously, they didn't take the Qianghu in front of them seriously.

   "Continue to charge me!"

  The leader of Qianghu was angered by the provocation of the Han army.

   There are more than 3,000 people in the area, and they are all infantry. How dare you attack yourself with 6,000 people?

  However, the leader of Qianghu soon understood what the Han army relied on.

  The densely packed arrows shot wave after wave, not only shooting extremely far, but also shooting extremely fast.

  If it wasn't for the Han army to take the initiative to attack, just defend the formation, I am afraid that there is no way for me to rush to the front of the formation.

  The Han army was getting closer and closer, and it was enough for the cavalry to pass through the arrow array.

  The leader of Qianghu was overjoyed and ordered to charge again.

   Then he saw the front of the Han army receding like a tide, showing their white fangs.
