Niyang is located on the northeast bank of Nishui. In ancient Yunshan, the south and north of the Yangtze River were yang, so it got its name.
¡° Moreover, Niyang is located in the hinterland of Jitou Mountain and is surrounded by steep mountains.
There is only a slightly flat road in the west of the city, which leads directly to Beiyuan Yiju City.
Therefore, when the army was still three miles away from Niyang, Ling Tong suddenly called Huchuquan Shanyu over.
"Chanyu, I will give you a task. I hope you can complete it!"
Hu Chuquan thought Ling Tong was going to send him as the vanguard to attack the city, and he immediately began to look forward to it.
However, Ling Tong's words instantly made Huchuquan Shanyu very disappointed.
"Chanyu, I have ordered you to lead five thousand Xiongnu warriors, bypass Niyang City, and ambush three miles away on the road to the west of Niyang.
Don¡¯t let anyone pass! "
Hu Chuquan looked puzzled, but he was under the jurisdiction of Ling Tong and could still be friends with each other on weekdays.
But when it comes to wartime, military orders are overwhelming and can only be carried out unconditionally.
But I was so far away from the main battlefield, how could I possibly pass by?
Before leaving, Ling Tong noticed the emotion on his face and comforted him: "Chanyu, there is no need to doubt. When the battle begins, you will know the purpose of my general! Go quickly!"
Hearing this, Huchuquan had no choice but to lead his Xiongnu troops and rush to the location designated by Ling Tong.
In fact, the reason why Ling Tong sent him there was to block the escape route of Cao Jun in Niyang City.
Because when it came time to attack the city, some of Cao Cao's troops must have seen that the situation was not good and took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city and rush to Cao Cao's camp for help.
In the chaos, it is possible that someone would not notice it, and maybe Cao Jun actually escaped.
Therefore, Ling Tong arranged in advance for Huchuquan Chanyu to wait on the only way to escape from Niyang to the west.
In this way, those fleeing troops will definitely fall into a trap and cannot escape.
The reason why Huchuquan Chanyu was sent was mainly because the Xiongnu themselves were good at field battles and not good at attacking cities.
So when attacking the city, they were of no use.
Rather than ordering them to dismount and attack the city, rounding up the deserters can better take advantage of their mobility and flexibility.
After watching Huchuquan Shanyu¡¯s soldiers and horses disappear into the distance, Ling Tong finally gave the order loudly: ¡°The whole army marches forward, capture Niyang in one fell swoop, then have lunch, and have beef today!¡±
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately cheered loudly and their pace quickened instantly.
Finally, the city wall of Niyang County slowly emerged on the ground. This city is located between two mountains, just blocking the road in and out of the North Plateau.
It was not until this moment that the defenders in the city finally discovered the appearance of Ling Tong's army.
But the defenders in the city were not nervous and did not even sound the alarm.
Because they were very confused about the army that suddenly appeared from the mountains, not knowing whether it was a friend or an enemy.
When Ling Tong saw this, he speeded up without hesitation, and finally the army came to the city.
At this moment, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city finally saw the opponent's flag and clothes clearly, and then they were horrified to find that it was the enemy.
By this time it was already too late to sound the alarm, because after Ling Tong arrived, he immediately began to attack the city without any hesitation.
Niyang City is located in Cao Cao's rear area, and the defenders in the city are not vigilant at all.
In addition, they are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there is no effective resistance at all.
Although Ling Tong¡¯s army rushed all the way, they did not carry siege equipment.
But the opponent's situation is even worse. Even the rolling stone and other defensive equipment are not complete.
It was not until Ling Tong's army began to attack that the city gate finally closed slowly.
Since there was no siege ladder, Ling Tong directly focused on the city gate.
A fierce battle for the city gate began at the foot of Niyang City.
And the sparse bows and arrows shot down from the city wall could not cause effective damage to the army holding shields.
On the contrary, those Cao soldiers who leaned out were shot and killed by Ling Tong's army, and their numbers became smaller and smaller.
After less than an hour of fighting, the city gate was finally breached by Ling Tong's army.
Then the army immediately rushed into the city. At this moment, those Cao soldiers had already lost the will to continue to resist.
Frightened, everyone quickly raised their hands and surrendered, and a fortified city was captured by Ling Tong unexpectedly.
When Ling Tong cleared away the remaining resisting defenders in the city, he found that the west gate of Niyang City was open.
The result will not come outAs Ling Tong expected, someone had already escaped from here.
However, although those fleeing troops responded quickly, they escaped the fate of being annihilated by Ling Tong.
But they didn¡¯t know that there was a killing god waiting for them ahead.
Huchuquan Shanyu had arrived at the designated place long ago, but his heart was still full of doubts.
At this moment, he was depressed and was shooting arrows for fun. Looking at the arrows on the big tree in front of him, it seemed that he had been shooting for a long time.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves coming from the direction of Niyang City attracted Huchuquan¡¯s attention.
At this time, a roaring sound came from below, which was made by the Hun soldiers he sent to guard.
¡°Someone is coming?!¡±
Hu Chuquan¡¯s eyes immediately lit up, and he finally regained his energy.
But he immediately shouted: "Don't move, I will shoot Cao Jun myself!"
Within a moment, I saw several Cao soldiers coming from the direction of Niyang on horseback, and they were about to pass through Huchuquan Shanyu's defense area.
At this time, Huchuquan shot out an arrow.
¡°Whoosh¡poof!¡±
The Cao Jun in the middle instantly fell off his horse and died without even making a sound!
"Ho! Roar! Roar!"
When the Huns soldiers saw that Shan Yu was so good at shooting and killed him with one blow, they immediately burst into cheers.
Then the Huns finally had no restraint, and arrows rained down from the low slopes on both sides of the road.
??Almost all Cao Jun who passed by were shot into hedgehogs, and no one was spared.
It was only at this moment that Hu Chuquan finally understood Ling Tong¡¯s arrangement.
And in his heart, he was in awe of Ling Tong's information, and he no longer had the previous complaints.
Under the guard of Huchuquan, as expected, not a single Cao army could pass.
An hour later, the envoy sent by Ling Tong arrived and informed Huchuquan that he could return to the city.
On that day, Ling Tong fulfilled his promise and killed sheep and cattle to reward the three armies.
In fact, this is not only to celebrate the capture of Niyang City, but also to prepare for the next war.
According to Liu Ke¡¯s will, Liu Ke will personally lead the army to start a decisive battle with Cao Jun by the Nishui River in three days.
And when the time comes, Ling Tong will also need to rush to the rear and act together.
The distance from Niyang to Yiju is only fifty miles, and the road is flat, so it can be reached in a day or two.
Therefore, Ling Tong did not rush to march today, but prepared to eat and drink enough to recharge his batteries before marching.
In fact, Liu Ke¡¯s arrangement was not unreasonable. It was just that considering the distance between the two armies, it took a long time, which gave Cao Cao a chance to escape. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
