"Ahhhhh——!h

The commander of the Western Regions Servant Army knelt on the ground, clasped his hands tightly and howled in pain.

His country was a small country, not so much a "country" as a federation of cities made up of several cities.

Being able to organize a 2,000-strong infantry army to follow the Huns on an expedition has almost exhausted the national strength of this small country!

The Huns recruited servant troops, but they were not as generous as the Han people.

Not only did the food and ordnance need to be self-sufficient, but the grain, grass, gold and silver supplied to the Huns were also indispensable.

Under the perennial oppression of the Huns, this army can be said to be the last bit of capital of his country!

Now this capital has been consumed, and it is senseless to be slaughtered.

One can imagine how desperate the legion commander as a nobleman was!

But the Hun warlords just looked at him indifferently, and after making sure that there were no more deserters on the battlefield, they scattered and retreated.

The servant army commanders of the rest of the small countries, although they have the feeling of sadness for the rabbit and the fox, but more of it, it is a kind of excitement to see the benefits!

The Huns did not need a vassal state that had no use value!

This small country has been abolished, and after returning to the king, as long as the king promises certain benefits to the Huns, they can eat away everything in this small country with tacit consent!

The looted wealth is enough to feed the nobles of the kingdom!

Of course, the premise of all this is that their army is not exhausted like this.

So there are familiar nobles in the Xiongnu, and their minds are alive at this time.

Although they are all hard work, they can sell one day early and one day later, sometimes it represents the difference in nature!

In the middle account, Zhao Ponu and others are also discussing the military.

"Something is wrong with the Han army." A small tribal leader who had been dealing with the Han army for many years said, "Although their bows and crossbows are sharp, as long as our warriors are not afraid of death, they will soon be able to break through the defense line of the bows and crossbows!" ”

"That's right, in the past, the bows and crossbows of the Han people were not continuous, unless the number of crossbowmen was too large, otherwise we could all find a gap to break through!"

"That is, there is a problem with the number of crossbowmen here?"

For the army of servants who were wiped out, not one of the Huns and vassal tribes present even let out a sigh.

Ada slapped his palms: "The harriers' reconnaissance is wrong, and there are definitely more than 10,000 defenders inside!" ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" Some leaders were puzzled, "It is said that seeing two young people snatching Chen You's position, there must be reinforcements!" ”

"The question now is, what is the origin of these reinforcements, and how many are there?"

"Shut up!" Zhao Ponu shouted.

The crowd fell silent.

Zhao Ponu carefully recalled the situation in the daylight: "In the blink of an eye, three rounds of crossbow arrows can be issued, and the number of light armored infantry of 2,000 people will be annihilated, and the number of crossbowmen must be at least 5 times more than that of the infantry!" ”

No one has any objections.

The strong crossbows of the Han army are strong, but the long-range weapons in the era of cold weapons cannot be compared with the firearms of later generations.

Especially when it comes to covering shots, the crossbowmen don't aim at all.

Instead, they shoot at a pre-set angle, and the damage is mainly based on the size and power of the crossbow.

Especially in siege warfare.

The foot soldiers had not even come close to the walls, and had only passed through the outermost ditch.

At this distance, it is completely impossible to require accuracy.

Power is also an issue.

Unless you are unlucky enough to be shot at the vital point, it is difficult to make a living soldier ineffective with a single arrow, whether it is an arrow or a crossbow arrow.

It is not a legend in this era that a hedgehog can still fight bravely and survive in the end.

In the blink of an eye, three rounds of arrows were laid, representing that the crossbowmen of the Han army were at least three rows in rotation.

The killing efficiency is so high, which represents the large number of crossbowmen of the Han army.

"Wanhu, it's better to go around!" Ada began to retreat, "Juyong Pass is too heavily guarded, and the children's riding and archery abilities can't be played at all!" ”

"Yes, Wanhu, there is no need to fight with the Han people's walled city, let's go around!"

"Instead of wasting time here, it is better to go around to the hinterland of Shanggu County, the plains and river valleys are the world of my Hun warriors!"

……

"After this battle, the Huns are likely to give up the attack."

In the Juyong Guancheng Tower, Tang Qi, Huo Quai, Li Guang and Chen You were also discussing the military in front of the map of Shanggu County.

Taishou Lu Fang was also present, worried between his eyebrows, but he endured it and didn't interject.

Chen You continued to analyze: "The Xiongnu went south to fight the grass valley, and the battle for one city and one pond was meaningless to them at all. What's more, it is still a pass like Juyong Pass, even if it is broken, there is no oil and water for them. ”

Li Guang agreed: "The robbers will not be willing to fight hard, and if they can't see the benefits, the general also thinks that the Huns will not keep an eye on us." ”

"Captain Chen and Captain Li are right." Tang Qi nodded, "Even if we don't retreat now, after they misjudge the number of our crossbowmen, it is imperative to make a detour!" ”

"What then?"

Lu Fang finally couldn't help it, and said worriedly: "Although Juyong Pass is a necessary place for the Xiongnu to go south, it is not completely impossible to detour. In case of...... What should I do? ”

"Although the county is clear, but if the enlarged army comes in, those county towns are actually not much different from the villages!"

The border line is too narrow and long, in fact, there are only a few thousand defenders in many counties!

"Don't panic, panic what." Huo Quzhi shrugged, "Your Majesty said before I came, this time you must not let the Huns cross the border line without a single soldier, of course, you can't sit back and watch them detour." ”

Lu Fang's spirits perked up: "Are you going to fight?" ”

As soon as the words came out, it seemed that he thought of the situation of being scolded before, and his face was red again: "This official is not familiar with military affairs, and if you make a mistake, please don't mind ...... you."

"No, I didn't say that wrong this time!" Huo Quzhi suddenly smiled, "If it weren't for the Zhuge Repeater brought by Brother Tang, it would be an unreasonable idea to go out of the city to fight, but now, ......"

Li Guang narrowed his eyes and smiled at Huo Quzhi: "Now, Ben Jiang is a little greedy." ”

"Not only the two captains, but the last general has also begun to be greedy!" Chen You echoed, and the three of them immediately laughed.

Lu Fang's face was full of confusion, so he had to ask for help from the only two civil officials present: "Da Nong Order, what does this mean?" ”

Tang Qi said: "This kid wants to swallow this vanguard army in one bite before the arrival of the Huns' main formation, and he has a big appetite!" ”

"This? This must not be! Lu Fang's face changed greatly, "There is a huge disparity between the enemy and our forces, and there is a large army behind us, how can we take risks?" ”

"Eh, you don't understand this, do you?" Tang Qi grabbed Lu Fang's neck, "If you don't eat this vanguard army, wait for them and the Chinese army, will we wait for death?" ”
