Chapter 464: The Huns come to help
Zhao Rong's abnormal movements, Yue Yang naturally saw it clearly.
"Out of the shield car! Small ballista ready!! Yue Yang shouted loudly, and the shield carts were pushed onto the boundary bridge, blocking the middle, while small ballistas were placed on the city wall, ready to shoot.
"Put!!"
Before Zhao Ei's sergeant could move into range, Yue Yang struck first and let the ballista start firing.
A huge arrow flew into Zhao Ei's military formation with the sound of bangs, the kinetic energy of the ballista is not comparable to the bow and crossbow, even if Zhao Ei has a shield, but there are still many sergeants who were knocked off the shield in their hands by an arrow, and then nailed to the ground.
"Run! Archery! Shoot them! The Retreater Slashes!!
Yuan Gong said, if you die, there are five acres of land, even if you die, your family can live a good life, give me a good life!!
Listening to Zhao Rong's shout, many sergeants looked back, and sure enough, they saw a team of crossbowmen holding crossbow arrows at themselves, and as soon as someone retreated, they were immediately shot on the spot.
Moving forward is also death, and retreating is also death, so you can catch a closed field!
Thinking of this, Zhao Rongjun began to run forward with a roar, and even some sergeants didn't even want their shields, and shot arrows while running, regardless of whether they missed or not.
"Bell! Clang! Clang!!! ”
Yue Yang hurriedly rang the golden bell, and the sergeant of the engineering battalion outside turned around and hid behind the shield cart on the side, while the crossbowmen on the city wall appeared in unison, facing the Zhao Rong army who had already entered the firing range.
On the one hand, there is a female wall to protect it, and there are ballistae to help, but on the other hand, even the cover of the shield cannot be guaranteed, although there are casualties, but the Qingzhou army undoubtedly has a big advantage.
What's more, the engineers that Zhao Rong really wanted to shoot were all hiding well, listening to the sound of arrows behind the shield cart.
Yuan Shao saw Zhao Rong rushing up on the mound, and wanted to applaud, but when he saw that Zhao Rong had actually fought a siege battle, he couldn't help sighing and ordered Zhao Rong to withdraw his troops back.
Even if the sergeant is worthless, if he continues to fight like this, his morale will be lost.
As soon as Zhao Rong retreated, the engineers who were hiding behind the shield cart immediately came out and sang and worked at the same time.
"Why don't you use the arrow tower?" Someone came up with an idea.
"Using the arrow tower is also to send them to death, and their throwing of the car is very accurate, but it is easy to hurt morale."
When Yuan Shaozheng was at a loss, suddenly there were bursts of cheers from the rear army.
"What sound? Where is the noise? Yuan Shao looked back and saw bursts of smoke and dust coming from the west.
"Newspaper!! Mr. Xu took the Hun Right Xian King Hu Chuquan and the general to go to Bei, and led 20,000 cavalry, which was already less than three miles! ”
"Good!!" Yuan Shao clapped his hands and applauded, laughing and said, "With this strong reinforcement, I am not afraid of the horses, since the horses want to fight a decisive battle with a dignified array, then follow his wishes, send orders to the rear army, and pile up the mound after that, I want to see if his throwing car can smash my mound formation!" ”
The news of the appearance of a large puff of smoke and dust in Yuan Shao's rear army, Ma Qiang knew no later than Yuan Shao, he saw that Yuan Shao actually stopped watching the battle but walked back, and the archers who originally wanted to harass him to build a bridge also retreated, and couldn't help touching his chin, and said to Duan Ying and Guo Jia on the side, "Do you see if the Huns have arrived?" ”
Duan Ying nodded and said, "According to the news from the Zhen family before, Yuan Shao had dealings with the Xiongnu long before the war with Gongsun Zhan, and it should have arrived if he counted the days." ”
"In that case, let's prepare for a decisive battle!"
Yuan Shao was waiting for the Huns, and Ma Qiang was also waiting for the Huns.
Ma Qiang has always been very worried about the situation in the state, or he is very worried about the situation of the entire grassland ethnic group moving inward at this time. Central Plains Book Bar
After all, according to later history, it was neither Cao Cao nor the Sima family who really benefited from the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, but these grassland peoples.
Of course, this also laid the foundation for the later integration of the Xiongnu and other ethnic groups with the Han people, but the whole foundation was somewhat too cruel and bloody.
Ma Qiang does not reject these grassland peoples who have almost completed their sinicization, and there are many aliens such as Wuhuan and Xianbei in his army.
National integration is not a problem, the question is who is the main one.
In this battle, Ma Qiang not only prepared Yuan Shao and the Jizhou Shi clan, but also prepared for the later entry into the state.
Only when he hurt and was afraid of the Huns, after entering the state, he could slowly hold these Huns in his hands.
"Send a war letter to Yuan Shao, and the decisive battle will be fought in three days!"
Ma Qiang got up and said, since Yuan Shao has given up hindering himself, the construction of the pontoon bridge is no longer a problem, and now he has to work with Guo Jia, Duan Ying and others to prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle.
The influence of this battle will never be inferior to the battle of Guandu in history!
Yuan Shao looked at the war book thrown by the catapult, snorted, looked at Hu Chuquan and Qu who were standing below, and said with a humble smile, "Is it good to be in Bingzhou?" ”
Hu Chuquan was wearing a Han army armor, and if it weren't for the strange accent, he looked almost the same as the Han people.
"Everything is fine in Shan Yu and Zhou, and I often miss the kindness of the general, please rest assured that our 20,000 Hun warriors are the most elite cavalry, and they will not be worse than their Wuhuan people!"
East Wuhuan, West Xiongnu, this is the Eastern Han Dynasty's two largest alien righteous servants, that is, the source of mercenaries, so often secretly competing, so this time Hu Chuquan also came here with a kind of idea to prove that the Hun cavalry came to participate in the war.
"The elite of the Hun cavalry, naturally, it is needless to say, but that horse, although he is not good at scriptures, is good at ingenuity, you see, even this porcelain was created by him."
As he spoke, Yuan Shao picked up his wine glass and couldn't help sighing, and he didn't know how much money Ma Qiang had exchanged for these strange tricks.
"Porcelain?" Hu Chuquan picked up the wine glass placed on the side, pinched it, and then laughed and said, "The porcelain is flashy, but weak-minded, not as good as our cowhide bag, I think the general should prohibit Jizhou from using such useless things!" ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he clapped his hands and smiled, "That's right!" Come on, drop all this porcelain for me! From today on, the things created by Ta Ma Qiang must not appear in our army, no, they must not appear in my Jizhou! Anyone who buys and sells goods in Qingzhou is regarded as an enemy!
I, Yuan Shao and his Ma Qiang, will not die this time!! In the future, when I take Qingzhou, I have to smash his workshops! ”
"No!!"
As he spoke, Yuan Shao raised the lacquer bowl he had changed and drank with everyone, and suddenly saw the telescope on the table, and was stunned for a moment, and then closed his eyes and continued to drink as if he didn't see it.
This telescope is not useless, well, it is not counted!
Yuan Shao's words, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Zhen Yan below was worried while eating and drinking.
Zhen's current wealth, more than half of it is due to the agency of Qingzhou goods, if Yuan Shao really starts to oppose Qingzhou products, regardless of whether it will be loosened in the future, the impact on Zhen's will be terrifying.
This effect will be even greater than the impact of land clearance, after all, the output of land is too low compared to the output of industry.
Zhen's current identity is very special, on the one hand, Zhen owns a lot of land, and on the other hand, Zhen's wealth mainly depends on the sale of Qingzhou goods, which can be said to be a semi-landlord and half-comprador status.
Whether from a personal or Zhen point of view, Zhen Yan hopes that Ma Qiang can win this big battle.
What to do...
