1.54 Seven Days of Bloody Battle

Seeing large and small, more than a dozen tribal adults walked out of the king's tent. Tanshi Huai sat down dejectedly.

That night, Liu Bei was a heroic young man, and he went straight to the king's tent with a sword.

Tanshi Huai trance saw the fifteenth year old, but brave and wise, riding alone to chase the leader of the alien tribe who plundered his grandfather's cattle and sheep, invincible, will be robbed of cattle and horses, himself. The tribe is afraid. The spell is forbidden, straight and straight, and those who dare not violate it are pushed to be adults.

Today's Liu Bei is tomorrow's sandalwood acacia.

The only difference is that Liu Bei is a member of the Han clan. It is incompatible with Xianbei. Tanshi Huai felt that time was running out, so he wanted to take advantage of Liu Bei's fledgling to personally raise an army of 100,000 and strangle it in Baitan City. This is the reason for the siege of the city.

After three days of bloody fighting, the soldiers were lost. I was going to retreat overnight, but I brought back the news that there was a shortage of arrows in the city. Unwillingly, he fought for three more days.

Now that victory is in sight, how can you give up!

Half of those who have traveled a hundred miles are ninety.

The moat was filled, and the urn city was broken. The Han army was poor in skills and released poisonous smoke to endanger himself. but it is the end of the mighty crossbow, and it will not endure. Just attack the city, rely on it to fortify the city, take the grain and grass piled up in the city, and add tens of thousands of people under your command. Even if the three-way Han army pursues, there is no need to be afraid. After all, the three-way Han army, which is all cavalry, also lacks siege weapons.

In this way, the situation is reversed. If you want to defend, you can fight. When the Han army is weak in attacking the city, they can take the opportunity to kill the remnants of the army and break through. Even if the snow is heavy, the fortified city can survive the cold winter.

If so, the battle will be a pyrrhic victory.

Now that the troops are retreating, as I said to the three lords before, there are Han troops chasing and intercepting them before and after, and they will definitely suffer heavy casualties. The "water grass", "grass" and "salt land" that they relied on for survival were lost, and the cattle and sheep herdsmen were plundered by Wuhuan and Xiongnu. The army has nowhere to call home, and there is no food to eat. How can we survive this cold winter?

Three days ago, it can still be returned. After six days of bloody fighting, there was only one way to attack.

The risk of retreating from the army has existed since ancient times.

Hanging sheep beat drums, hungry horses raise bells. All kinds of tricks, full of tricks. It is to confuse the enemy and carry out the strategy of the golden cicada out of its shell.

Why is it so dangerous to retreat. It is because the retreat is weak. Morale is low and the morale of the army is unstable. Easy wind and cranes, grass and trees are soldiers, and the defeat is like a mountain. And the former army became the rear army. The heavy grain and grass were all dragged behind. If the enemy wields his army to cover up and kill, set fire to the grain. The morale of the army will be chaotic. Therefore, the good generals defeated the retreating troops. Taking advantage of the small victory, the morale was high, and the enemy did not dare to catch up with the new defeat. And when the army is withdrawn, a strong army will be broken. Or choose an ambush at a dangerous point. Or setting fires, breaking embankments to block roads, and so on.

No, you can retreat if you say retreat. Take Xianbei at this time as an example. Light riding can retreat on its own. But with a lot of grain and grass, how can they keep up with the horses?

The scouts came to report that the three-way Han army had joined forces and went straight to Baitan City. There is only one day to go.

If you retreat at this time, even if the light rider can retreat with your whole body. How could the heavy grain and grass, the herdsmen of various tribes, and the cattle and sheep all over the mountains be spared?

Lost heavy grain and grass, herdsmen from all departments, cattle and sheep everywhere. The middle of winter is approaching, and the ice is thousands of miles. How can the army live alone!

There is no way back.

How can the three Xianbei adults not know.

It's night.

The torches in the white sandalwood city are held together, and the light is like day.

Craftsmen wearing breathing masks and covered in leather cleaned up the corpses in the urn city overnight. Soil was taken to bury the embers. Without waiting for the poisonous smoke to dissipate, he moved bricks to fill the door hole and sealed the entrance. The weapons, armor, and arrows in the arsenal were all distributed to replenish the wear and tear of the day. Everyone and horses are well fed, and they are waiting for the day.

The crowd will ask.

Liu Bei replied with a smile: I showed weakness before, but tomorrow I will bully the weak!

Huang Zhong suddenly woke up: The Han army is coming.

Liu Bei nodded happily: Yes, yes.

This calls in one person. When someone came to uncover the Xianbei leather helmet, everyone realized that it was Yan Rou!

There are two gates in the north and south of Baitan City. Xianbei stormed the north gate for several days, and there was no battle at the south gate. Yan Rou and others, who disguised themselves as Xianbei riding slaves, entered the city at night and brought the movement of the army.

I learned that the three-way Han army had joined forces and came straight to Baitan City. One day to go. Liu Bei understood that victory in this battle was in sight.

There is no way to retreat from Xianbei, only to advance as a retreat. The soldiers are in danger. Before the Han army arrived, it broke through Baitan City. According to the danger, there is a way to live. Otherwise, the vast grassland, the north and south of Yinshan Mountain, are all Xianbei cemeteries.

Compared with the Yan Han who founded the country on agriculture, the nomadic Xianbei is weaker in its resistance to the climate. The great drought and locust plague, the cold winter and heavy snow, are all natural enemies. Minor damage is serious, and severe is the destruction of the country. As a last resort, he could only plunder the border counties every year.

The 100,000 army was dragged to death by Liu Bei outside Baitan City. It has reached the verge of extinction of the country and the species.

On the seventh day, it became the last bloody battle between the two sides.

Look at the big picture. When Xianbei abandoned the guerrilla tactics of wolves that were familiar with the road. When you give up the cavalry advantage and go to a bitter siege battle, the victory is already decided.

The young prince who has always been prepared for danger has won the true inheritance of his mentor and Cui Shangshu. Able to attack and defend. The armor is complete, and the baggage is sufficient. Coupled with Dahan machinery, it is the best in the world. How can Xianbei win.

Kill the son first and take the wife, and be full of hatred. Wait for the army to besiege the city, and then take turns to manipulate the skills of defending the city. The Xianbei soldiers were about to retreat, and showed weakness to induce them to attack. Then pretended that the fish was dead and the net was broken, and the poison was released to fight for a life, creating the illusion that the ammunition was exhausted. went back and forth, and Xianbei was dragged for six days. plus three Xianbei gatherings, and it also took ten days. It was with the help of this precious sixteen days that the three-way army arrived in time.

Seven days.

Xianbei poured out of the nest. Abandoning the war horse, holding a wooden shield scimitar, shouting nonsense, and rushing towards Baitan City.

Seeing Huang Zhong's view, Liu Bei shook his head with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to release the arrow, kill it first." ”

I saw that only the flowing arrows fell from the city. The adults of the various ministries breathed a sigh of relief. There were no arrows left in the city. But I don't know if there is still ghost fire and poisonous smoke.

The Xianbei dead soldier carried the ladder that had been made overnight and rushed to the wall. Raise the ladder with a stone overhead. Then he took the knife in his mouth and struggled to climb upward. A pot of golden juice poured down. The skin is open and the flesh is open, and the ground is breathless. Fish oil was spilled again, and a fire ignited in an instant.

The ladder is burned into a ladder of fire. A row of Xianbei dead soldiers were swept into the flames, all human-shaped torches.

The door that was broken yesterday is blocked by bricks today. It's hard to break through in a hurry. In front of the gate of the urn city, the Xianbei army was stranded. The defenders repeated their old tactics, throwing fish oil and setting fires. The fur on the body is extremely flammable. It is also dipped in fish oil to fuel combustion. The whole person burned into a ball of fire. Fireballs infect each other, and the city burns to pieces.

The cry shook the sky. Unable to bear it, they attacked each other left and right and died.

Repeated arson. Several prolonged burns. After seven days of bloody fighting, the layers of corpses that had accumulated under the city were also burned through. Turned into clumps of humanoid ashes. One foot down, the ashes are annihilated. The mud feet were deep, and the few unburned corpses at the bottom of the ashes strangely oozing black blood, drowning the feet. It's a terrible situation.

Rao is like this, and the Xianbei dead still fight bloodily. Eventually, a ladder was successfully erected. The Xianbei dead did not avoid the blade, and rushed to the city with a scimitar. was smashed by Cui Ba, who rushed to support, with a shot. Blood crashes to the ground. followed by a group of Xianbei dead soldiers who jumped on the battlements, surrounded by sword and shield soldiers, and slashed with knives.

Cui Ba followed up with a shot and overturned the ladder.

Seeing more and more ladders on the city wall, the Xianbei dead soldiers rushed to the city head one after another to fight with the Han army. Sitting on the throne, Xianbei Da Shan suddenly raised his staff!

Cheer –

Three Xianbei poured out of the nest!
