"General Hu, when and where did the thief flee, we must find out immediately."

Xiahou Ba said urgently, with an anxious look on his face.

It is still very easy to find out these two points, after all, Wei has been running Guanzhong for many years, and Hu Zun is from a local big family, so he wants to inquire about something, that is, all of a sudden.

According to several nearby Tu people and a small Hu tribe, Shu Lu had already withdrawn from the camp and headed west yesterday.

Not long ahead, more than a dozen rode out and ran in the direction of the Shu captive.

It seems that nine times out of ten it is the person left by Shu Yu to make the final arrangement.

"General, shall we chase or not?"

"If Shu Yu wants to run, one day is enough for them to run far." Xiahou Ba said with an ugly face, "What's more, they have a lot of horses in their army. ”

Above all, there is one thing that must be determined as soon as possible.

"General Hu, when is the news from Jingyang?"

"I've already told you that every day there will be a fast horse to bring the news."

When Xiahou Ba heard this, his face did not ease much: "Even so, what we know now is at most the news from two days ago." ”

From Jingyang to Linjing one day, from Linjing to Yuezhicheng, another day.

This is still imaginary, and in reality, it may be more than half a day.

"What do you mean?"

Hu Zun still couldn't react.

"Feng Thief this time, is he pretending to be a suspicious soldier, or is he really cowardly and running away?"

Xiahou Ba's face turned pale, "If you are cowardly and run away, it is fine, but if you pretend to be a suspicious soldier, then where is his real army?" ”

"Wushi City and Jingyang City?"

Hu Zun's face also changed.

"I look at Feng thief, there are ten thousand people immediately, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a suspicious soldier......"

Hu Zun was a little reluctant to believe it, or he wanted to find an excuse to convince himself.

After all...... How can anyone take tens of thousands of cavalry as suspicious soldiers?

Xiahou Ba was also a little hesitant.

However, the neatly stacked wood left by Shu Lu in the camp made him feel inexplicably frightened.

There seemed to be a person in front of him looking at him proudly: Do you think I am being confused by you, or am I bewitching you?

"No, we can't take that risk!" Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth and said, "General Hu, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”

"You lead the army back to Linjing first, in case there is a change in Jingyang, you can also prepare in advance."

Hu Zun asked, "What about you?" ”

"I'll stay in Yuezhi City!"

"But if that Feng thief's move is just a pretended retreat......"

"It's okay, you leave all the cavalry behind, plus the defenders of Yuezhi City, it's enough to deal with it!"

Xiahou Ba, who felt that he had fallen into the fog, could only grit his teeth now.

Xiaowen and ...... It's really not to be underestimated!

Between this advance and retreat, people have a sense of dilemma.

Hearing Xiahou Ba say this, Hu Zun could only nod, "Okay, then General Xiahou must be careful." ”

Although this may hit the morale of the soldiers, for now, it seems that this is the only way.

It is impossible to determine where Xiao Wenhe's real army is, and it is really too passive.

"The good defenders hide under the nine earths, and the good attackers move above the nine heavens......"

Xiahou Ba muttered to himself, "Those who can fight with General Zhang in the street pavilion, how can they be good at it?" As a result, I still underestimate the heroes of the world. ”

This remark slapped the two of them in the face, and Hu Zun coughed a little embarrassed:

"As the general said, this Feng thief is really too treacherous, and I don't want to be peaceful......"

Xiahou Ba didn't answer Hu Zun's words, and he felt a faint uneasiness about Feng Yong's behavior of seeming to hide but not to hide, and to reveal but not to reveal.

"General Hu, do you say that we should inform the auxiliary generals of Chang'an, so that he can lead the army north now......"

"Isn't it okay?" Hu Zun's face showed a look of embarrassment, "General Fuguo is sitting in Chang'an, and he is mainly preparing to support Da Sima. ”

"If the situation is unclear, wouldn't it have an impact on Da Sima's southern expedition if the auxiliary general is allowed to lead the army north at this time?"

Seeing that Hu Zun disagreed, Xiahouba thought about it for a while, and felt that he was too worried.

laughed at himself at the moment: "It's me who didn't think about it." ”

The southern conquest of Shu was written by the great Sima, and His Majesty came from the objections of the important ministers in the court.

If it affects the Southern Expedition because of the improper handling of Feng Thief, then the name of this incompetence will definitely be deducted from the two of them.

It is his wish to kill the thief to avenge his father, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to come to the front of the battle with Shu.

If it affects the overall situation of the Southern Expedition because of his incompetence, even if he is born with the surname Xiahou, he is afraid that he will have to return to Luoyang for refrigeration.

Anding County has a geographical advantage, some people and, as for the time, it is just to see the meaning of God, the gain is fortunate, and the loss of the three benefits still accounts for the second.

Even if you can't attack, can't you defend it?

Jia Wenhe is also a person, not to mention that Xiao Wenhe also brought a small character?

Xiahou Ba is secretly regaining his heart.

And Hu Zun said on the surface that it was impossible for Feng Thief to use Wan Qi as a suspicious soldier, but in fact, he was also a little frightened in his heart.

After he left the cavalry he brought over to Xiahou Ba, he hurriedly rushed back with the rest of his foot soldiers the next day.

Just a day after Hu Zun left, the cavalry led by Feng Yong reappeared in front of Xiahou Ba's eyes.

Everything is as usual, and there is no need to even re-encamp, just repair the camp that Xiahou Ba has not had time to destroy, and then set up camp again.

Seeing all this, Xiahou Ba at the head of the city turned extremely gloomy.

"General, should we let General Hu lead the army back?"

The subordinate general asked in a low voice.

"Not necessarily!" Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth and rattled, "Feng Thief's move is just to contain our army. If General Hu comes back, I am afraid that it will be in the hands of Feng thief. ”

"If you have the ability, he will try to capture the branch city this month?"

If it was the first time that Feng Thief had really seen through the reality of Yuezhi City and didn't dare to attack the city, then this time, he had an extra cavalry army in his hand, he didn't believe it, Feng Thief really dared to move the real thing?

His mind had just turned here, and he saw that Shu Lu below had already moved.

The wood that was originally placed in the camp and had not had time to dispose of it was moved out.

Looking at the formation, it seems that the siege equipment is about to be built.

When Xiahou Ba saw this, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water: How dare he? How dare he?

Under the Yuezhi City, as soon as Feng Yong put down the binoculars, Zhao Guang came over: "Brother, do we really want to attack the city?" ”

"If you don't attack the city, what will I do if I let people build this ladder and rush the car?"

Feng Yong looked at the Yuezhi City in front of him, and said calmly, "I'm not here to travel, go, call the people from the righteous army to me." ”

Yi led more than 1,000 captains in the army, either they were the first to be promoted by the school captain's mansion, or they were directly placed in the school captain's mansion, and after they came over, they all saluted: "I have seen the prince." ”

Feng Yong nodded and pointed to Yuezhi City:

"The highest point of this city is only three and a half zhang (more than eight meters), the cloud ladder can be completely erected, and tomorrow the righteous army will start attacking the city, is there a problem?"

Most of the cities that need siege equipment to attack are more than 10 meters, and in large cities, they can reach 12 meters, or even 15 meters.

A city of more than eight meters like Yuezhi City is not high or low, because its original purpose was to divide the Han Dynasty into a safe place for the Hu people, and it was impossible to build it too high and thick from the beginning.

Although after Xiahouba took over, he added to the original foundation.

However, the foundation of the city is not good, unless it is torn down and rebuilt, no matter how it is built, it is impossible to build a city of more than ten meters.

Although Feng Yong did not have an engineering battalion on hand, he had cannon fodder.

As long as he made up his mind to make an ant siege, it would be a simple matter.

After all...... In addition to the dazzling siege equipment of the Guardian Captain's Mansion, the ant-attached siege is one of the most important siege methods in this era.

It doesn't matter if you can attack it or not, what matters is to put pressure on the Wei army and send a wrong message to the Wei army.

The tribal commanders who participated in the righteous army basically came with the consciousness of selling the heads of their own clan warriors.

Hearing Feng Junhou say this, they all responded.

After arranging all this, the leaders of the Yi Congjun went down to prepare, and Zhao Guang came over: "Brother, what should I do?" ”

"The Wei cavalry outside the city will be handed over to you, if one of them rushes over and affects the siege ......"

"The little brother is willing to make a military order!"

Zhao Guang's expression was solemn, and he straightened up and said.

The cavalry of the Wei army outside the city, according to the reconnaissance of the Dark Night Battalion, was only four or five thousand people at most.

If the new-style cavalry can still give them the opportunity to charge the camp when the number of people is slightly superior, then they will not have the face to lead the cavalry of the captain's mansion.

Feng Yong's decision to attack the city was obviously a surprise to Xiahou Ba.

Watching the Hu people under the city, driven by Shu Yu, they carried the simple ladder and the rushing car built the day before, and began to rush towards the city.

Xiahou Ba's face turned to the lieutenant general beside him even more ugly:

"You come to defend the city, I'll go outside the city to lead the cavalry!"

Whether the Yuezhi City can be defended or not, the key is not in the city, but outside the city.

Xiahou Ba, who personally captured the Yuezhi City, knew this better than anyone else.

The original cavalry of Yuezhi City and the cavalry brought by Hu Zun were combined and arranged outside the city, which was equivalent to reducing the defenders in the city.

In addition, the walls of Yuezhi City are not high, and it is difficult to defend the city.

Therefore, if you want to repel the Feng thief, the key is to rely on the cavalry army outside the city.

Looking at the adjutant general's worried look, Xiahou Ba encouraged:

"It's okay, look at the ones in the city, they are all Hu people, but they were pushed out by Feng Thief and sent to death, you can guard it with peace of mind."

After encouraging the lieutenant general, he hurriedly set out from the other gate to join the cavalry outside.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The drums of war sounded.

"Woo ......"

The trumpet blows.

The first group of volunteers soon began to rush forward.

The Hu people were already good at riding and archery, coupled with the three-piece cavalry set funded by the school captain's office, they rushed to the city like a whirlwind, with the help of the horsepower of the charge, raised the bow and shot arrows......

And then come back.

The next wave of mounted shots continued to follow.

The Wei army on the Yuezhi City did not show weakness, and at the same time shot downward.

For a moment, the arrows of both sides in the air were intertwined like a net.

Below the city, people were constantly being shot, screaming again and again.

In particular, the Yicong army, not only did not have any cover, but also because of the size of the horses, it was easier for the Wei army to shoot at the target.

The wounded horses and the terrible screams of the dying horses added to the fierceness of the battlefield.

The scene in front of him can only be regarded as an ordinary thing for Feng Yong now.

In the past hundred years, the Qianghu rebellion in Liangzhou has used this most primitive and barbaric way, and at the same time the most cruel way, to break through the cities of Yongliang and Liangzhou.

Now they are just repeating the things of the previous generation.

The only difference is that Feng Langjun behind them promised them a future.

For the sake of this future, they have to show enough.

"Yu Junhou, there is a cavalry army of Cao thieves in the southeast."

A Dark Night Battalion soldier delivers the latest discovery of the battle.

"Send this information to General Zhao, and at the same time pass the order to him, so that he must defeat this thief cavalry army."

"No!"

Zhao Guang, who had been anxiously waiting for news, received Feng Yong's military order and was immediately overjoyed:

"You go back and tell the prince that unless that Cao thief rushes over with my head, they will never be able to take a step forward!"

Then he immediately turned on his horse and exclaimed:

"All of them, get on the horse, southeast, ready to meet the enemy!"

The whistle of the cavalry camp immediately followed, and the soldiers checked their armor, then put on their helmets, turned over their horses, and began to march in formation.

Then Xiahou Ba, who led the army, saw such a cavalry army: on a horse covered in leather armor at a vital point, sitting a knight with armor all over his body.

From a distance, it looked like a gray-black land carrying a tide of crimson blood, constantly surging.

Although the battle was not officially engaged, Xiahou Ba's eyelids had already jumped: This Feng thief, where did such an elite cavalry come from?

Don't blame Xiahouba for being surprised.

Because Shu was shrunk in Shu before, the whole country couldn't get a decent cavalry army at all.

I heard that the Shu puppet invaded the north, and he still used foot soldiers to compete with the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry.

It's a pity that Longguan was attacked by Feng thieves, and the Guanzhong army couldn't enter Longyou, otherwise how could Shu have today's arrogance?

It's just that I didn't expect that in less than three years, Shu Lu would be able to form such an elite cavalry army.

He had only seen such a cavalry in the old tiger and leopard cavalry camp in Luoyang, which was incorporated into the New Fifth Army.

But now that the arrow is on the line, it has to be sent.

If you don't break through the cavalry army of Shu on the opposite side, then you won't be able to deal with the soldiers defending the city.

Xiahou Ba immediately ordered: "Prepare to charge!" ”

He turned to look, and saw that many soldiers had a look of horror on their faces, and hurriedly shouted:

"Shu Lu did not have a cavalry army in the past, and even Ma Chao, who can be called a cavalry general, has been dead for several years."

"Although this cavalry seems to have excellent armor and good weapons, if there is no unscrupulous general to lead it, it will not be a plate of loose sand!"

"Later, I will personally lead the army in front, and anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"

After saying that, he discharged the charging arrow array, wanting to fight to the death with the Shu captives in front of him.

The so-called charging arrow formation is an arrow-like formation, and the main general is located in front of the formation, leading the charge, which is the most suitable for brave generals to charge into battle.

Zhao Guang took the telescope that he had finally ground from his brother's hand, saw the other party's formation, and smiled:

"But that's it! Someone, send the order down, set up a fish scale array! ”

The speed of the charging arrow formation is fast, which can make the cavalry charge quickly, and the fish scale formation will be slower because the front army is wider than the arrow formation, and the distribution of soldiers is denser.

However, compared with the armored cavalry of the Han army, this expansion of the width of the front army formation can just expand the advantage of semi-heavy cavalry.

What's more, in order to save horsepower, it is impossible for the armor to increase all the speed at once when charging.

In the face of the other party's Wei cavalry, which did not even have all the people to protect them, the speed did not have to be ranked first.

What's more, Zhao Guang is still holding a hanger in his hand.

The ground began to rumble......
