Chapter 41: Beiqu's helplessness

Nature is amazing because it can create so many amazing things. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, in front of Fuluo and the black-robed old man, the Beiqu camp. A crooked river, a raised mountain, formed a complete defense system.

"There used to be a market in front of it, the only one in the Northland," Yu Fuluo said, pointing to the grass hut in front of the Beiqu camp from a distance, "but it's closed for now. ”

The black-robed old man said, "The market is open, Yi'er. If it's over, it can be reopened. ”

Yu Fuluo ignored the meaning of the black-robed old man's words, but pointed to the small hill behind the bazaar, across the Xinshui River, and said, "There are bed crossbows on the mountain, and there are no less than ten of them. ”

The black-robed old man was stunned when he heard this.

The bed crossbow is too high-tech, not anyone who wants to play can play it, like the catapult, in the Han Dynasty belonged to the category of advanced machinery, is a sharp weapon for attacking and defending the city. The main bed crossbow and stone throwing are not used against foot soldiers, but for siege equipment, ordinary crashes or something, a crossbow or stone bullet is almost equal to waste.

The black-robed old man reacted quickly, smiled, and said, "Why be afraid, although the bed crossbow is strong, it is not necessary to worry about losing accuracy." ”

Yu Fuluo glanced at the black-robed old man and said, "There were Qiang people who were guests here before, and they once made a demonstration. "Of course, it may not be a hundred zhang, but the Qiang people may not know how to count, so there may be some moisture at this distance, but it is indeed a full five, and there is no problem at all.

Yu Fuluo said very simply, but the black-robed old man's eyes suddenly widened, and he hit the target within a hundred zhang, which means that the bed crossbow on this mountain has quite good accuracy within a hundred zhang? Even if you make a discount, according to fifty zhang, it is quite a terrible number.

The black-robed old man put his eyes on the top of the mountain in the distance, searching hard, as if trying to find a little bit of cold light hidden on the mountain.

The bed crossbow throws stones, the lethality is huge, and the blow to morale is even more terrible, if it is not accurate enough, it can also be used as a psychological comfort for the soldiers, but now if what Yu Fuluo said is not a lie, it will be quite troublesome.

The Hu people themselves are not very good at attacking fortifications, if it is just an ordinary wooden camp, it is fine, but now it has obviously become a wooden and earth structure, and a trench has been opened outside, and the Xinshui River has been introduced, so that on the whole, it has shown the appearance of a small city, plus a bed crossbow......

Yu Furo stopped talking. He didn't want to hit Beiqu, it was too hard to fight.

Now Beiqu is like a layer of hard shell, and it is also covered with thorns, with these bed crossbows, the siege equipment can't enter the body of the Beiqu camp at all, it is equivalent to using flesh and blood to knock hard, then even if it is pried open, the hands must be a blur of flesh and blood.

The black-robed old man looked at it for a long time, but he really couldn't find any obvious flaws in the Beiqu camp, and finally gave up the idea of priing open this hard shell, and said: "In this way, is it feasible to send people to cruise and cut off its transportation?" "This is also a helpless move, after all, the original plan was to take this Beiqu camp first, and then take advantage of the situation, but according to the current situation, the Southern Huns are not willing to gnaw this hard bone at all, and it is indeed difficult to forcibly attack, so they can only retreat and cut off their connection with Pingyang.

Yu Fuluo smiled: "This is naturally possible. ”

Now there are only four or five thousand people under Yu Fuluo, and it is not impossible to attack strongly, nor is it impossible to take it, but after all, the difficulty is too high, and the losses are too great to be taken.

But if you chase a convoy of transports in the field and cut off the grain route, this is still not too much of a problem. Therefore, Yu Fuluo no longer shirked, and agreed very happily.

The black-robed old man turned his horse's head, and before leaving, he glanced at the Beiqu camp for the last time, and sighed in his heart, it was really a good piece of land!

It's a pity that there is a good pair of branches and leaves, but it can't fall roots......

×××××××××××××××××

On the hill of the Beiqu camp, there are not only ten bed crossbows as Yu Fuluo said, but twenty-five!

Of course, the best of the quasi-head is only the beginning, the core components brought from Xiangyang are assembled together, and the rest is just shot, but there is no guarantee that it will be accurate......

Ma Yan stood on the top of the hill, frowning as the small group of men and horses in the distance went away.

Although the distance is far away, it can be roughly distinguished that it should be the Xiongnu people, and there are some Han soldiers in black robes.

Yesterday, the Qiang people sent a Qiang man to say that the tribesmen who were grazing outside had recently found a group of black-robed Han people appearing in the Southern Xiongnu......

Today, Mayan saw it with his own eyes.

Although Ma Yan didn't know which aspect the black-robed Han man who suddenly appeared belonged to, Ma Yan knew that this was not a good thing. Ma Yan is really not worried that these people will rashly attack the camp, not only the ballista around him, but also the structure of the "S" of the Beiqu camp, which makes it extremely difficult to expand the entire attack surface, unless a large number of soldiers and horses attack along both sides of the Xinshui River at the same time, Ma Yan can use the pontoon bridge that has been erected, and put the cavalry into the attack on the enemy's back at any time.

There is nothing wrong with defending, but it is necessary to attack......

Although the number of the Southern Xiongnu was not enough to counterattack the royal court of the Xiongnu, it was still a large force in this land, and it was not so easy to deal with.

Yesterday, after receiving the news from Linagu, Ma Yan sent someone to send some cloth to thank him, and at the same time inquired about the tone of the Qiang people.

The result was similar to what Ma Yan expected, the Qiang people did not like the Southern Xiongnu to be the king and hegemon here, most of them thought that the Xiongnu should go back to Yinshan, not because they should come here to occupy their pasture, but to let these Qiang people and the Xiongnu really start a large-scale move, the Qiang people are not willing to fight easily.

These Huns come and go like the wind, there are not enough cavalry, don't want to take advantage of anything at all, Ma Yan does not have a lot of troops under his command now, especially the cavalry of the Han people is even more lacking, although now take advantage of some horses, strengthen training in this area, but the cavalry team can not be formed for a while.

The recruited Hu people, although there are a little, but after all, they are still Hu people, and they really want to make a move, fight a good battle and pick up cheap, these recruited Hu people are estimated to rush faster than anyone else, but to overcome difficulties, it may not be reliable.

Therefore, what Ma Yan can do now is to squat in the hard shell of this Beiqu camp, optimistic about Fei's family base here, and if he wants to expand the army, he has more than enough heart and not enough strength, and in the end he can only send people and horses to Pingyang to report the news, but he is powerless to stop it, and he is somewhat helpless.

Ma Yan looked east, where is the direction of Pingyang County, I don't know how it is progressing now?

Although Beiqu is deep into the territory of the Hu people, surrounded by large and small Hu people, it is not as dangerous as imagined, first, because Beiqu is the only market set up in recent years, and the Hu people themselves are also very needed; The second is that here are just the branches and leaves of the trees in full bloom, and the rhizomes are still in the Han land, or on the side of Feiqian......
