Chapter 155: Armed to the Tooth Blockade
"General Zhang, news has come from Wensu that the Northern Xiongnu have abandoned the city and rushed straight to Chigu City!"
In the valley of the Narun River, Che Zhou rushed to Zhang He, who was setting up a fire and was barbecuing
"Mr. Xun is right again, as long as the news of the arrival of our Han army comes out, it won't be long before the Northern Xiongnu will inevitably abandon the city and come to us."
"Nonsense!"
Zhang He glanced at the car like an idiot, and opened the way with an afterthought
"Our army is here, and the Northern Huns don't run? Waiting for death? This Naryn River Valley is the best section of the west, the Northern Huns are running in such a hurry, don't go here and that? ”
The two of them have been in the Western Regions for more than half a year, and they are very familiar with each other, the strength of this guy is actually not bad, and his personal martial arts are weak, but he is very good at commanding troops and scheduling, if he doesn't have any real skills, Cao Cao will not let him go to guard such an important Xuzhou in history, if it weren't for Guan Yu in front of him, and Chen Deng's betrayal later, it would not be so easy for Liu Bei to take Xuzhou.
Because both of them are not bad, after a few months of fighting, the two of them are as good as wearing a pair of pants, after all, in the outer land, their own family is always much more reliable than those foreigners.
"You just talk about it"
Che Xuan snatched the skewer in Zhang He's hand with one hand, and it was not too hot, and he chewed it in a big bite
"What is this, the meat is quite tender, why don't you eat it?"
"Hehe, I don't know what a snake is, and I don't know if it's poisonous or not, wait for you to try it first."
The car was stunned for a moment, and then became furious
"You bastard~"
....
Outside Akaya Castle
"It's strange, Hu Yanyi, there don't seem to be any defenders in this city?"
Lan Jin, who had been standing on horseback and looking at it for a while, asked with a puzzled face, Chigu City is the royal city of Wusun, a proper big city, and it is impossible to be reasonable without defenders.
"There are no defenders, where did the previous 20,000 soldiers and horses go?"
Hu Yanyi touched his mustache and lowered his head in thought, as the royal city of the largest force in the Western Regions, everyone knows how much property is gathered in it, and if there are no guards, it is equivalent to a beautiful woman who has been stripped naked, who would be willing to give up.
"I guess I went to the Naryn Valley!"
The same thing that was wrong, the night of the horse quickly ran over and shouted softly
"Hu Yanyi, this Chigu City, you can't enter!"
"You're crazy!"
Lan Jin immediately exploded when he heard this
"How many treasures, how much grain and grass, how many armor, give it away for nothing, you don't want it, Lao Tzu still wants it!"
"Humph!"
Hearing Lan Jin's babbling, he glanced at Hu Yanxuan, who seemed to have an understanding, snorted coldly, turned around and left, he didn't have the time to explain this kind of thing, there were still a bunch of miscellaneous things waiting for him to deal with hundreds of thousands of old and young people in the back.
"I really can't enter, pass the order, bypass Akita Castle and rush to the Naren River Valley!"
Hu Yanyi, who had figured it out, sighed in his heart, this is a bait, a bait that does not seem to be in any danger, there are indeed no guards in Chigu City, and there are indeed a lot of goods and materials, but once they settle in Chigu City, looking at Lan Jin's appearance, they know that he will not leave if he does not empty these belongings and materials.
Even if under his own orders, Lan Jin and the warriors of the Northern Huns will obey the order, but those old and young are difficult to say, everyone has greed, and the meat in front of them is not in any danger, how can they be willing not to take a bite. But this time they came and went, and they couldn't get out of Akaya City for three or five days!
And now, what they lack most in the Northern Huns is time! Once they can't evacuate in time, no matter how much property they have, it will be in vain, and in the end, they will be cheaper for the Han family.
Under Hu Yanyu's strong order, hundreds of thousands of Northern Xiongnu old and young were told that there were ambushes in Chigu City, and they needed to take a detour and go straight to the Narun River Valley.
......
"Report to the two generals, the vanguard of the Northern Huns has arrived thirty miles away"
"Ha~"
Zhang He, who yawned, waved his hand
"Don't worry, I'll report when I'm ten miles away."
Zhang He is not panicking at all now, if he wants to go west, in addition to crossing this river valley, he can only go north for a hundred miles, and he has to bypass Issyk-Kul Lake, and he needs to walk more than 200 miles, if he does not defeat them, 20,000 cavalry will attack and harass along the way, and the hundreds of thousands of old and young people will not have to live.
As for the south, two big rivers block the way, and those who are not afraid of death will let the hundreds of thousands of old and weak cross the river, guess if he Zhang He will be merciful and weak.
An hour later
"Sure enough, it's in the Naryn Valley!"
Lan Jin, who was standing ten miles away, was extremely resentful, the soil of the Naren River Valley was muddy, and the river valley was deep, but the cavalry could not charge at all, and the Northern Huns who could not charge were greatly reduced, just looking at the fortifications arranged on the opposite side, Lan Jin did not even have the desire to do it.
"Preparing to launch a wave of attacks, I want to see how different the Ding Ling soldiers led by General Han are! Su Bujie, you lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to cover with bows and arrows. ”
Hu Yanyi also had a headache when he looked at the layout on the other side, the Han family was good at work, he had only heard about it in the mouths of the elders, but now he has seen it! Fixed crossbows, trebuchets, fences, horse-repellent horses, and even dug a one-zhang wide trench under the valley, in which sharp wooden stakes were inserted, and the pitch-black liquid on the wooden stakes was known at a glance to be fierce fire oil! It's a pity that Zahu near the Western Regions has long been recruited by his father, otherwise the best way now is to let Zahu consume and destroy those disgusting things.
"On the night of the night, I ordered the people of the tribe to camp on the spot, and sent people along the Naryn River to see the water potential, and to find out if there were any shoals where I could wait to cross the river."
After hearing this, he bowed his head slightly, looking at the arrangement of the Han army, even if he could capture it, he would suffer heavy losses, but he couldn't afford to lose the Northern Huns now, don't think that he would be able to live and work in peace and contentment when he arrived in Kangju, and he would still be eaten alive by the nearby forces without a certain strength, and he would not even have any hair left.
"Attack slowly, kill with me!"
Without a war horse, Lan Jin, who could only carry a big shield to fight, suppressed the anger in his heart and began to slowly slide down the river valley.
"Put!"
With a wave of his hand, the six thousand archers behind him who had been temporarily transferred from the Hujie soldiers rushed out a rain of arrows, forcing Lan Jin to stop and raise his shield to resist. On the other side, under Lan Jin's angry gaze, Xu Bujie had no choice but to let his cavalry shoot a wave of arrows at the Han army, but unfortunately, most of the arrows fell softly when they were more than ten steps away from the Han army, which caused the chariot to laugh loudly.
Although this Naryn River valley is not very wide, it also has a distance of nearly 100 meters, and it can still be hurried with a longbow and maintain a certain lethality, but with a short bow, there is no need to think about it, the power is not enough at all.
"Hateful! Rush with me! ”
Lan Jin, who was stimulated by the laughing appearance of the car, was furious, and then discarded the big shield in his hand and rushed down, so shocked that the guards of the headquarters under his command hurriedly carried the big shield and followed, this move caused the rest of the five thousand soldiers and horses to start charging in a hurry, and the formation became extremely loose for a while.
"Good opportunity! Catapults, bows and crossbows! ”
Zhang He, who was lying on the side watching the play, jumped up, kicked the car that was laughing and laughing, and let out a loud shout
The next moment, the crossbow arrows mixed with the explosion rushed towards Lan Jin, and then the whistling stones also smashed down fiercely, how could the one-handed iron wooden shield resist the spear-like thick crossbow arrows, not to mention the stones larger than a human head, only one round of salvo fire, in an instant, Lan Jin was dizzy, and the losses were quite heavy.
"Idiot! Order Lan Jin to evacuate! ”
glanced at Lan Jin, who had been killed or injured by nearly a thousand before reaching the bottom of the valley, Hu Yanxuan was extremely angry, the Lan clan was really reckless! However, it is not without gain, although the crossbow bolt is extremely lethal, but it also takes time to reload, according to the loading speed of the Han army just now, it is good to shoot two waves after a wave of charge.
As for the short bow's range is not enough, just change to a long bow, and it's not that you can't use it, it's just that you're used to using a short bow. The real trouble is the trench at the bottom of the valley, and the charge uphill, after all, the back attack is really a loss.
"Hey, hey, withdraw"
Seeing the gray evacuation of the Northern Huns, Che Xuan rubbed his old waist, Zhang He's kick just now was really ruthless, but he was also carried away, and he almost missed a good time, and this kick was not wronged.
"You're a little positive, aren't you?"
Zhang He's eyes widened, this guy is sometimes very profligate and easy to make mistakes.
"I know, I know, I also want to hit the other party's morale and stimulate the other party, you see that my laughter is not successful in provoking the other party, otherwise how can I show such a big flaw."
The car crate forcibly gave himself a reason
"Hurry up and get out, you still have to be on duty at night, and I will guard you during the day, just rest assured"
"Humph! You give me a little leisure, you and I can't afford to go out on a business trip, and don't let the Northern Huns easily take the bottom of the valley to the trench to fill in. ”
Zhang He pointed to the trench filled with fierce fire oil, and his face was serious
"Okay, okay, long-winded, if you want to fill that trench, you have to fill it with your life! As long as the Northern Huns dare to appear on the other side, they will directly force the crossbow and throw stones to greet them! ”
Che Zhou, who forcibly drove Zhang He away, almost swore to the sky that he would never make a mistake, just kidding, this is the first time he really led the troops to fight since Che Zhou arrived in the Western Regions, and it is also the first answer sheet to Qi Xian and Liu Hong.
