Chapter 651: Wind and Snow (3)
The thunderous blow made all the Donghu cavalry silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the small fortress, the corpses of people and horses were stacked on top of each other, and the blood had just flowed out, and it had been frozen by the cold wind, which made it clear that in addition to the place where the corpse fell, the rest of the place under the fortress was still white and crystalline.
Red and white, at this time, formed such a big contrast difference, impacting everyone's vision.
Mo Yandu's eyes showed a look of shock, originally, these more than 100 horsemen, but he responded to the provocation of the Eastern Army in this stockade and sent it, in his imagination, even if they died in battle, these soldiers could show the ability of the Donghu warriors and cause some damage to the enemy, but such a strong blow was greatly unexpected by him, originally thought that a small fortress, with hundreds of soldiers stationed, would not have too many long-range weapons at all, which could pose a threat to them, That is, those slick and ungrasped ice walls, but now it seems that they were wrong.
He was suddenly a little glad, assuming that he didn't send these more than 100 people to test it but launched a large-scale attack as soon as he came, he was afraid that it was not only these more than 100 horsemen and horses lying under the city now, but Donghu Jian'er who was several times more numerous.
He suddenly felt a little heavy on his shoulders, in this area, with the more than ten villages named Dubo Village by the Eastern Army, is this all the case? If this is the case, then how much life do you have to pay to sweep this area into a pure land?
The people of the Central Plains are really rich. Mo Yanlu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, with his experience, these more than 100 soldiers who conquered the east were at least equipped with two powerful crossbow arrows per person. The crossbow was loaded in advance, so that in a very short period of time, such a dense wave after wave of blows could be formed.
"Withdraw!" He sank his face and turned the horse around, "Bone auspicious." Send a man over and tell them that we want to take back the bodies of our sons and see if they agree. β
"Yes, General!" Gu Jili, who was also immersed in shock, took a deep breath, more than a hundred lives, in the blink of an eye, all of them were gone.
In the city, seeing the Donghu army turn around and retreat, the soldiers of the expedition to the east raised their arms and cheered. And the company commander Song Hongxin did not have much joy on his face, the opponent was difficult to deal with, he hoped that because of this ruthless blow, the opponent's commander would be angry and launch a counterattack regardless of the blow, so that he could take advantage of the fact that the enemy did not have many targeted weapons in his hands, kill and injure as many enemies as possible, and make enough money, but obviously. The commander of the enemy was a very calm fellow, with a bad blow, no love of war, and the singleton had to retreat.
When he comes back next time. But it's not that good. He breathed a sigh in his heart, he is not enough to swallow an elephant, and the lives of more than a hundred Donghu people are placed under the city, and he and his more than 100 brothers. I've earned enough money, and next, kill every person. It's earned a life!
Be content!
"Company commander, why did some Donghu people come over with a white flag, could it be that they were scared by us and surrendered?" Hu Zi came over, unaware that it was precisely because of the thing under his crotch that he had just buried more than 100 Donghu soldiers under the city.
"!" Song Hongxin took a bite of him.
Gu Jili was among the people, and finally found the Donghu soldiers who could speak a few words of Central Plains, holding a white flag, bypassing the obstacles, and walking to the city.
Passing through the barrier, the city was still quiet, and a few Donghu soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when they raised their heads, they were startled, and above the fortress, the black arrows were densely packed, and they were aimed at them without provoking.
"Sir." The Donghu people led by them raised the white flag in their hands, waved a few times, and bowed to the city, "We, receive, the remains of the warriors, please, allow!" β
"It turned out that I wanted to collect the corpses of these barbarians, company commander, do you promise them?" Beard asked.
"What do you say?" Song Hongxin asked rhetorically.
"Well, I think it's okay." The beard touched the hard beard on his face and said, "It's great for people to die!" β
"Promise them to let them move, but only ten people can come at a time." Song Hongxin nodded.
The beard poked his head out, "You, at a time, ten people, move away!" β
The Donghu soldiers under the city did not expect to be so smooth, several Donghu soldiers bowed deeply to the city, several people threw away the white flag in their hands, walked to the pile of corpses, one bent down to pick up a dead body, and strode back.
Immediately, in batches of ten people, the Donghu soldiers crossed the obstacle with their bare hands, and carried the remains of their comrades on their backs in batches.
Looking at the figures of these people leaving, Song Hongxin sighed in his heart, when he died in battle with these brothers under his command, he didn't know who would collect the corpses of his people at that time, or just explode the corpses in the wilderness!
Tengger, on top of the camp destroyed by the Eastern Army, the Donghu Hetao camp was set up here, and in Yan Qi's Chinese army tent, the messenger from the forward general Mo Yanlu was telling Yan Qi about the fortress group of the Eastern Army they encountered in the Dubo area.
"General, General Mo Yanlu asks the general to support siege equipment, preferably with siege vehicles." The messenger bowed and said: "Those fortress groups are equipped with long-range weapons beyond the similar, if we don't have enough siege equipment, I'm afraid we will have to pay a great price, let the warriors on horseback attack the fortified city, General Mo Yandu thinks it is stupid." β
Yan Qi snorted, "Siege equipment? I also want to, but I don't either, the craftsmen from Qi have not made much siege equipment, such as siege vehicles, and there are not a few in the entire Donghu, let alone transported here, those treasures are now the models imitated by our Donghu craftsmen. Our own craftsmen don't know how to build it yet, and those Qi people, who are now the king's treasures, how can they send them to such a dangerous place as the front line to build siege engines for us! β
"What, what should I do?" The messenger said with a blank face: "General, General Mo Yanlu launched a tentative attack, but more than a hundred warriors were shot by the enemy without even approaching the city wall, and we can't take the precious lives of the warriors to hit the strong city!" β
"Tough city!" Yan Qi said angrily: "A small village of more than 100 people, did it scare Mo Yandu, who commanded tens of thousands of troops? You go back to tell me sΓΉ him, I don't have siege equipment, let him figure out his own way, Donghu warriors, invincible immediately, get off the horse, and still be able to do one block ten, this is also a test for our Donghu warriors, if even such a small fortress can not be taken, in the future we will hit the Central Plains, why capture the enemy's counties, counties, and national capitals? That's the real strong city, sue sΓΉ Mo Yandu, these small villages, just let him practice how to attack the city, fight well, when we send troops to the Central Plains in the future, he is still my vanguard general! β
The envoy was so frightened by Yan Qi's yelling that his face turned pale, and he couldn't straighten his waist, "Yes, General, I will definitely convey the General's words to General Mo Yanlu." β
"Don't be afraid of the dead!" Yan Qi slowed down his tone, "In a war, how can there be immortals, the key is that he has to learn how to attack the village while consuming the lives of my Donghu warriors." It's not that I'm reluctant to have siege equipment, but I really don't have it, but I will send two officers to assist him, these officers are all former Yan officers surrendered, and they are well versed in attack and defense, and I believe they can help him. β
"Thank you, General!" The messenger was overjoyed.
The envoy left in a hurry, but Yan Qi walked to the map behind him, staring at the map, this battle, he must earn time, before the Liao River thaws, he will lay the victory, otherwise, after the Liao River thaws, he will be in trouble. At that time, the logistical supply of tens of thousands of cavalry became a big problem.
The Eastern Army also has a large number of cavalry units in Hetao, and these cavalry units are mainly Huns, and those damned Huns will not lose to the Donghu warriors in their ability to ride horses. Yu Wenke's defeat was enough to sound the alarm for Yan Qi, although the cavalry of the Eastern Army could not compete with the headquarters in terms of numbers, but in terms of quality, it was not lost to himself at all.
Picking up the charcoal, Yan Qi drew three circles on the map to unify Wancheng and Pioneer City, as well as the three places of Dubo, and then drew a circle surrounded by dotted lines in the direction of Dayan City, staring at these places for a while, he threw the charcoal on the ground. He turned around and shouted, "Come on, beat the drums and gather the generals."
Song Hongxin stood on the city wall, looking at the Donghu camp tent in the distance, for three days, the Donghu people did not attack, but continued to divide the troops, watching the Donghu cavalry leave and drive to different places, Song Hongxin knew that the opponent was relying on his own military advantage, ready to attack these stockades with Dubo as the core at the same time.
Song Hongxin didn't need to worry about the rest of the village, but he couldn't help but be a little worried, he was the place with the strongest combat effectiveness, how long could the other places last?
Before the start of the war, all the village was discussed, and the guards of each fort had agreed that if it was safe, there would be a wolf smoke every day, and if the village would be broken, it would be lit with red smoke, and in the past few days, the green smoke continued to rise from all directions, which meant that they had been attacked by the enemy, but it was still safe for the time being.
"I'm going to be fast here!" Song Hongxin said in his heart.
A dull drum sound sounded in the distance, listening to the familiar drum beat of the generals, Song Hongxin was in high spirits, instead of waiting so tormentedly, it was better to fight to the death more happily, the opponent was gathering the generals and ordering troops, is it finally about to start?
Looking at the flag of the main general still fluttering on the opposite side, Song Hongxin couldn't help but feel a little proud, the main general of the other party could also afford himself, and he actually stayed here in person and didn't go to Dubozhai.
Since you look up to yourself like this, of course you must be worthy of Talo! He couldn't help but laugh.
"Brothers, prepare for Iftar!" He shouted loudly. (To be continued......)
