Chapter 97: Gaimu City
Walking on the battlefield, you can see heavy cavalry and armored cavalry who were beaten to death everywhere, and many of them were held by the enemy to death.
To clean up the battlefield, the first thing is to treat the comrades who did not die, and then collect the comrades who died in battle.
If it was before, Zou Yu would definitely be unbearable, after several years of battles, he had already looked down on life and death, not to mention that the cavalry that had been cultivated so hard had died so much, and he was distressed, and he wanted to bury all the people of the Yan Dynasty, so as to deter the enemy, so as not to dare to come to fight the autumn wind and take advantage.
Zou Yu also slowly understood why there were so many generals killing prisoners, and the mentality of avenging their comrades-in-arms also accounted for a large part, and it was not easy to manage, or it was to deter the enemy.
In a sense, a general who often kills prisoners will definitely make the enemy afraid, but it may also arouse the enemy's desperate thoughts, of course, the most important thing is that population is an important resource and cannot be wasted, so the superior does not allow his subordinates to kill indiscriminately, after all, whether it is taxes or labor, a large number of people are needed.
15,000 cavalry, and so much good equipment, in the end, even disabled, only more than 8,000 left, heavy cavalry, only 300 intact, it can be seen that the battle situation is terrible; Of course, the results of the battle were very good, the cavalry of the Tatar tribe in their early 50,000s, more than 30,000 were killed on the spot, more than 5,000 were captured, and four or five thousand were chased and killed on the road, and it is estimated that the maximum number of people who fled back was six or seven thousand.
For a long time to come, the Tatars will be very sad, not only will labor be scarce in the clan, but they will also have to worry about others plundering them.
"When the goods wake up, let's let it go." Zou Yu looked at Tudiji and said.
"Don't worry, the last general will understand, and he will definitely make him worry about Goguryeo." Han Qianxun nodded.
"Okay, I'll take someone to support Liaodong first, and I'll trouble the general here." Zou Yu bowed his hand and saluted.
"General, take care!"
Bid farewell to Han Qianxun, took a re-selection of five hundred elites, formed a heavy armored cavalry, one person and three horses, and galloped to aid Liaodong!
……………………
Gai Mu City, Hei Sumei and Bai Suhua guarded, and their production subordinates were mainly Goguryeo soldiers, but the original elite from them was also the most under them. For the safety of the two of them, the bow and crossbow are also the most prepared for them, forty siege crossbows, five hundred crossbows, one thousand archers, three hundred steel shields, two thousand steel armor, five thousand steel knives, it can be said that most of them are divided into powerful equipment.
It's just that they are facing one of the best people in Goguryeo——— Yuanziyou, Yuanziyou's subordinates are also veterans of a hundred battles, and the generals are also old subordinates who have followed him for many years.
When he arrived at Gaimu City, he did not rush to attack, but went down to camp with peace of mind, made siege equipment, and did not begin to attack until three days later.
Siege three and one, the old trick of attacking the city, but it is very practical, attacking from three sides, there are virtual and real, and there are many people in the distance in formation, which can turn virtual into real at any time, which makes the defense of the city very headache.
Tunnels, night raids, surprise attacks, all kinds of methods have been taken out, which makes Hei Sumei tired of coping, but fortunately, Bai Suhua is very calm and solves them one by one.
Defending the city and attacking the city are actually the same thing, and there are only so many means, as long as you don't make mistakes, you can only look at the strength of both sides.
With 10,000 defenders, plus 1,000 people in the city, and enough bows and arrows, it is not too difficult to defend.
"Humph! This Goguryeo people can only play clever, and they don't dare to fight with open swords and guns. Hei Sumei said dissatisfied.
"This is just a strategy to exhaust the army, and at the same time to test our weaknesses and consume arrows, if it is a strong attack, I am not worried." Bai Suhua explained with a smile.
"No wonder you don't let you use the siege crossbow, but your face hasn't been very good these days, isn't it uncomfortable?" Hei Sumei asked with concern.
"I'm fine, sister don't worry." Bai Suhua smiled, her slightly pale face, like a pear blossom, delicate and beautiful.
"That's good, otherwise my husband will be worried again when he sees you like this, and he thinks I haven't taken good care of you." Hei Sumei smiled reassuringly.
"I'm not a child, I know how to take care of myself, how can my husband blame you." Speaking of Zou Yu, Bai Suhua's eyes showed a trace of longing, a trace of warmth, and she felt that her heart was about to melt in an instant.
"Humph! That's not necessarily, husband has always loved you the most. Hei Sumei said with a frown on her delicate nose.
She is not competing with Bai Suhua for favor, but just habitually saying Zou Yu, which is a way for her to express her feelings. Bai Suhua also understood, so she just shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "I think you are the one who misses your husband." ”
"What's the matter, it's just that I've been away for a month, and I don't know how the battle is going over there." Hei Sumei lowered her head embarrassedly, and raised her head again to speak.
"Don't worry, the husband has the courage of ten thousand people, and General Han is here, just a few people, it is still difficult for them, presumably there will be good news in a few days." Bai Suhua said with a stunned look in her eyes, persuading others in her mouth, but seeing her absent-minded appearance, it was better to comfort herself.
"Woooooo A trumpet sounded, and Goguryeo began another day's offensive.
"It seems that Goguryeo is going to attack this time!" Hei Sumei walked quickly to the battlement of the city wall, looked outside the city and said.
"Well, all conspiracies and tricks are useless in the face of absolute strength, and in the end, it still depends on strength." Looking at the moving ladder in the distance, Bai Suhua thought about what Zou Yu said, and said proudly.
"I'll go see the other two gates."
"Don't let go of the north gate, tell them to be careful." Bai Suhua admonished.
"Understood!" Hei Sumei's voice came from afar, and she had already run away.
"Push the ballista out!" Bai Suhua raised her eyebrows and ordered loudly.
"Whoa!"
Soon, the siege troops approached, Yuan Ziyou deserved to be a master, even if he attacked, the formation was very scattered, and the cooperation and cover between the arms were also very in place, and the soldiers he sent made Bai Suhua frown deeply.
However, she also has confidence in herself, in the siege crossbow, and even more in the crossbow, the 200,000 arrows in the city are the result of the efforts of 400,000 soldiers and civilians in Liaodong and Buyeo City for a whole winter, which is much more prepared than Goguryeo.
As expected, the siege crossbow did not disappoint her, Goguryeo's siege equipment was destroyed in its hands, and the power of the crossbow should not be underestimated, condescending, the range was about the same as Goguryeo's catapult, and the result can be imagined.
