Chapter 869 Everything Is a Coincidence

When the Xiongnu army was still in shock, it was suddenly flanked by the Wufeng Camp of the Yizhou Army and the Liangzhou Jingqi.

Hu Chuquan, Liu Bao, and Qubei were scared to death on the spot.

Without any hesitation, the three leaders took the lead in fleeing, and the entire army collapsed instantly.

Under the bravery of Tai Shici, Ma Chao, and Pound, they once again severely damaged the Huns cavalry.

The 70,000 cavalry faced the pursuit of more than 10,000 cavalry, but they didn't have any fighting spirit to resist, let alone fight back.

Wu Fengying and Liangzhou Jingqi have been sticking to the Xiongnu army and slaughtering wildly, chasing and killing them for thirty miles in a row!

In the end, it was because of the speed advantage of the Huns' light cavalry that they were able to escape.

However, in this attack, the Huns once again left 20,000 corpses.

The 100,000-strong army marched south to Hetao with great momentum. They wanted to show their skills in Hetao, but they were defeated in the end.

In the absence of a head-on confrontation with the Yizhou Army, they lost 50,000 troops and fled back to Hetao.

Hu Chuquan's liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and he couldn't help shaking violently whenever he mentioned Liu Zhang and the Yizhou Army in the future.

After this battle, Liu Bao's status among the Huns plummeted.

If it wasn't for Hu Chuquan's consideration for the face of his predecessor Shan Yu Fuluo, he would have been severely punished.

However, Liu Bao's position among the soldiers of the Huns is gone forever.

Later, when the Huns mentioned Zuo Xianwang, they no longer had respect in their eyes.

Because everyone knows that King Zuoxian was played by Liu Zhang, and he was completely defeated by the Yizhou Army!

As for the Wufengying and Liangzhou Jingqi who attacked the Xiongnu army, they were not in Liu Zhang and Xun You's plan at all.

Xun You did not arrange for Pang Tong's cavalry to return to aid, mainly because of time issues.

According to the normal speed of travel, even if Pang Tong returns to aid immediately, he will not be able to keep up with the battle at Dayang Ferry.

If the soldiers of the two sides fought fiercely in the dense forest, the winner would have been decided by the time Pang led the army to arrive.

The 10,000 Yizhou army, no matter how elite it is, can hardly fight against the 80,000 Xiongnu army.

Therefore, even if Pang Tong came, he could not control the situation of the battle.

More than 10,000 exhausted cavalry had to face the Huns who had just won.

The result is self-evident, it is nothing more than giving away people's heads for nothing.

If the Xiongnu army could be frightened away, Liu Zhang could also lead the army to retreat completely, not to mention Pang leading the army back.

Whether it is war or peace, there is almost no room for cavalry to play.

Xun You had no reason to torment Pang Tong and the soldiers of the Yizhou army. Letting them cross the river with the people was the most correct decision.

However, something changed, and the number of ships at the ferry in Hebei suddenly increased. Wei Ji completed the transportation of the people ahead of schedule, and personally led the soldiers to meet the people escorted by Pang Tong.

This is equivalent to saving Pang Tong from walking a day!

After Pang Tong learned the real situation of Dayang Ferry from Wei Ke, he immediately decided to violate the military order and lead his army to rush back to Dayang.

Wei Ke also expressed his support. In fact, he came to greet Pang Tong, which meant that Pang Tong would help Liu Zhang.

The speed is limited when transporting the people. Without the drag of the people, the cavalry immediately flew up.

Coincidentally, when Pang led his army close to Dayang, he found that the Huns had just escaped from the dense forest in a hurry.

It must be that the Huns were frightened back!

Now Pang Tong is even less anxious, and has plenty of time to deploy calmly.

The army led by Hu Chuquan has just escaped from the dense forest in a hurry, and is still in shock.

At this time, the Yizhou army suddenly broke out, and it was a two-sided attack!

This made Hu Chuquan completely think that everything was Liu Zhang's trick!

Hu Chuquan was frightened and fled desperately, causing the entire Hun army to collapse instantly.

The victory of the Yizhou army was a coincidence, and the defeat of the Xiongnu army was also a coincidence

It can be said that Pang Tong's harvest is so rich, it is inseparable from Wei Ke's genius!

If Wei Qi hadn't led the army to meet him in advance, Pang Tong, who had hesitated for a day, probably wouldn't have thought of turning back.

After Pang Tong defeated the Xiongnu, he immediately led his army back to Hebei Ferry.

So far, the Yizhou army has all withdrawn from Hedong County, and all the people in Hedong County have also migrated to Guanzhong.

The total population is more than 400,000!

This time, they defeated the Xiongnu army so easily, and the power of the Yizhou army skyrocketed again.

No one dares to underestimate the combat power of the Yizhou Army anymore!

It turned out that the Yizhou Army, which had experienced repeated bloody battles and suffered heavy losses, was still able to beat the Huns who had plagued the Han for four hundred years!

Liu Zhang's reputation as an alien nemesis is completely confirmed!

After Nanman, Qianghu, and Xianbei, the Xiongnu was once again nailed to the pillar of shame by Liu Zhang!

In fact, Liu Zhang himself didn't even know about it!

On the way back to Chang'an with Xun You leading the army, Liu Zhang was still rejoicing that he was lucky this time, and was able to hide the truth from Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao, and retreated with 10,000 Yizhou troops.

When he received the news that Pang Tong had defeated the Xiongnu army and gained countless gains, Liu Zhang's first reaction was to be dumbfounded.

Even Xun You, who had weathered the storm, lost his ability to think for a while.

After a short period of shock, what followed was naturally ecstasy.

Liu Zhang and Xun You were not stingy with their exaggeration and praise at all, and directly blew Pang Tong into the sky!

Sure enough, he is a man without merit under his reputation!

No wonder Mr. Pound, Sima Hui, and Zhuge Liang all spoke highly of Pang Tong.

Especially being entrusted with an important task by Liu Bei, who is very knowledgeable, it is really not just talking casually!

If it is not self-proven to say that Ziwu Guqi helped Liu Zhang eliminate Xianbei in one fell swoop, Pang Tong's trip to Hedong this time can be regarded as personally extinguishing all voices of doubt.

Twenty-two years old, an immature age.

Perhaps no monarch other than Liu Zhang dared to entrust such a young Pang Tong with important tasks!

But today, Pang Tong proved one thing to everyone.

His talent will not decrease sharply because of his young age!

On the contrary, being young is what Pang Tong relies on to show his sharpness!

In fact, Liu Zhang's inner amazement was far less than that of Xun You beside him. After all, Liu Zhang had a general understanding of Pang Tong's talent.

At least Fengchu's name has been confirmed by history.

Several wonderful performances by Pang Tong completely shocked Xun You.

Xun You is twice as old as Pang Tong, and has been with Liu Zhang several times longer than Pang Tong!

But in just one year, Pang Tong's talent was no less than that of Xun You.

Many times, Xun You can see the shadow of his youth from Pang Tong.

There are a lot of tricks, flexible and changeable, and more importantly, bold and careful!

Always be able to keenly observe the enemy's flaws on the battlefield, and even formulate impeccable countermeasures based on the enemy's weaknesses.

The precise control of Liu Bao's character this time made it possible to play with the Huns' 100,000 troops!

Only a talented strategist like Pang Tong can help his side have the possibility to win more with less and attack the strong with the weak.

Xun You is already forty-four years old this year, and the Spring Festival a month later also heralds the age of forty-five.

Including Jia Xu, who has been guarding Chengdu all the time, is about to reach the age of fifty-five!

All these years, Liu Zhang has kept Jia Xu at the rear, and he may not be sympathetic to the reason why Jia Xu is getting older.

At forty there is no doubt, at fifty one knows the destiny!
