Chapter 215: Striking the West and Striking the East (II)
"Open the city gate immediately, or there will be no chickens and dogs left!"
Tan Shihuai drove straight into the elite of the 60,000 royal court and arrived at the city of Lingqiu.
Faced with the city gate that was hurriedly closed in a panic, Tanshi Huai did not have the slightest intention of taking advantage of the chaos to attack, but stopped less than a hundred feet away from the city wall. But then a chorus of shouts rang out.
More than 100 soldiers in the city were so frightened that they almost urinated directly, they were not border soldiers, although they seemed to be the ones now, but less than a year ago, they were not. At the same time, hundreds of soldiers who got the news and were rushing to the city wall turned around and ran away.
"Run, everybody! Last year's Xianbei barbarian is here again......"
Last year, Tanshihuai once won Lingqiu, but later gave up again because Lingqiu City was small and some reasons were not looked down upon.
After a while, Tanshi Huai saw that the city gate showed no sign of opening, and he was immediately a little displeased, and shouted: "Take this city, Daqing...... Semidiurnal! ”
The city is too small, half a day is the limit, and there will be no more.
The Xianbei soldiers felt that it was enough, and their hearts were very happy, and they roared in unison, and rushed to the city wall in unison—
"Kill~"
Originally, there were still some people in the city who were hesitating, but when they heard this voice, they didn't care about anything, and rushed out of the door and ran straight to the south city gate. They had already heard this voice last year, it was like a nightmare, they had to run, and they had to run, and they had to run, or they would really die!
With the prestige of the past, scare away a city!
It can be seen how terrifying the prestige of Tanshi Huai is, even if he is only a small city, with less than a thousand defenders, even if he doesn't run, he can't stop it at all. But actively fleeing and being defeated, those are two different concepts.
Therefore, when the Xianbei army carried out, what they saw was a sparse escape, and there was nothing else.
The Xianbei cavalry had the intention to pursue, but was stopped by Tanshi Huai, so the so-called Daqing half a day finally turned into a half-day rest, and then hurried to Guangchang near the left.
Guangchang did not have the treatment of Lingqiu, Tan Shihuai and his royal army encountered weak resistance, and finally the city was destroyed in just an hour, and the people in the city were able to escape except for a few shrewd ones who had left earlier, and the others became the objects of the carnival for half a day.
Blood and erosion instantly filled all corners of the entire Guangchang City, interweaving a tragic picture.
When Lingqiu and Guangchang were taken successively, there were about 50,000 horses all the way, which went south from Yuyang County and went straight to Zhuo County.
Tanshi Huai not only set a plan of "striking the west and attacking the east", but also had a two-pronged plan, so that the Jizhou assassin had to divide his troops to deal with it.
Compared with Xianbei, the soldiers of the county who have been eroded themselves have to fight all the way to deal with it, and now they are divided into two roads, so it can be said that there is no hope of winning at all.
The high walls of Zhuoxian County were thick and did not be taken for a while, but the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy losses, and the day of breaking the city was just around the corner. At the same time, several reinforcements from other surrounding cities were stopped, and after a desperate battle, they had to be defeated.
At the same time, Tanshi Huai successively broke through several small cities in Changshan County and the north of Zhongshan Kingdom, and the news of Xianbei's southward trip to Jizhou also spread in Jizhou and Qingzhou, which caused panic for a while.
Originally, the major families in Jizhou were still ridiculing the weakness and incompetence of Bingzhou, and they couldn't stop Xianbei barbarians, but now it was their turn to be weak and incompetent, and they couldn't stop Xianbei, and they were scrambling to pack up their family wealth and prepare to run away at the right time.
Although the actions of each family are secretive, they can only hide from ordinary people, and inevitably cause a lot of damage to morale.
In this case, how could Tanshi Huai miss the opportunity to attack on a large scale, and every time he went down, he didn't slaughter the city, but just looted, and then after a short rest, he rushed to the next city and continued to loot.
Zhuoxian could no longer support it and was successfully taken. Zhuo County is down, the rest of the cities in Zhuo County are even more panicked, in terms of troops, they are not as good as the county to govern Zhuo County, on the city is tall and strong, it is far inferior, many people began to escape from the city, to the surrounding mountains and forests into the drill.
This is wrong, Xianbei bravery, not only good at field warfare, but also quite powerful for the siege of the city under the point of sandalwood acacia, but once you arrive in the mountains and forests, it will not work. The mountains and forests are undulating, the speed of war horses is limited, and there are many trees, weeds and shrubs, and the formation and vision are greatly limited.
The Xianbei cavalry had no choice but to give up and let them escape.
It was only a matter of time before Zhuojun was sent down, but when Tanshi Huai was stirring up wind and rain in Changshan County, he suddenly encountered hard stubble.
However, this stubble is not a city, but a dock-like village, which makes him very depressed and at the same time, he feels that his majesty as a humble and simple Yu has been violated.
"Kill everyone!"
Tanshi Huai's order is the sword of all the Xianbei royal court cavalry.
The fierce Xianbei royal court cavalry launched a fierce impact, and the fragile dock fort was completely crushed after more than ten impacts, and a group of people rushed to the inside of the dock fort, ready to carry out a large-scale killing.
However, the people of this village are different from the people in other places, whether they are men, women, young or old, their eyes are full of hatred, and the swords, guns, bows and arrows in their hands are also telling their bravery.
This left the Xianbei cavalry at a loss, and they had not encountered such resistance as they marched south. But it also aroused the long-lost blood in his chest, and he began to get serious.
The villagers are just villagers in the end, compared with the Xianbei royal court cavalry who conquered the grassland, they are still too far behind, even if they are not afraid of death, resolutely and decisively take the initiative to attack, in the end, they are still defeated.
In less than half an hour, the whole village was left with no living creatures except for the Xianbei cavalry.
"Shan Yu, do you want to pursue?" However, at this time, it was also revealed that the reason why they attacked without regard for their lives was to cover their retreat into the mountains for a group of children.
Tanshi Huai looked at the hundreds of people who were about to enter the mountain forest, and was rarely silent for a long time before saying, "Forget it!" ”
It's true that he is silent, and people have already entered the mountain. The Xianbei cavalry around them didn't react at all, not only because the prestige of Tanshi Huai was enough, but also because they felt that these people were worthy of their admiration.
It's just that what Tan Shihuai and everyone didn't expect was that among these people who fled, a wise and brave general appeared many years later, and became one of the leading generals of Xianbei. If you know this, maybe even if all the soldiers around you are tired to death, you will have to chase it into the mountains and forests!
Well, it didn't help to say more, and after that, Tanshi continued to raid south, and met resistance, but none of them could compare to this village or Wubao, whose name he did not know.
……
When Tanshi Huai stirred up the wind and rain with two big hands in Jizhou, Zhang Huan launched a night attack on "Tanshi Huai".
At night, the moon is crooked, hanging high in the sky.
Zhang Huan was not happy about this, but seemed to have a layer of gloom buried in his heart, which made him feel very uneasy.
However, the army is out of the pass, and the arrows are on the string!
