Chapter 692: Besieging the Cave
The time had reached noon, and there was no shadow of the 10,000 reinforcements in Jindong City, and Wei Yunxuan and Mr. Wen were all anxious.
"Lord Wang! Last night the spies said that reinforcements would arrive this morning? Why hasn't it come yet? Mr. Wen became worried.
Wei Yunxuan didn't know what was going on, after the spies came to report, the news was accurate. In particular, when this kind of army arrives, there will be no difference of half an hour.
This time, it was already past ten o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no news of reinforcements.
Han Xuening said that she went out to ask someone to take a look on the top of the mountain, if there were any reinforcements coming?
After Han Xuening went out, he called a few soldiers to go up to the relatively high mountain next to him, and looked to the east with a telescope, and there was no trace of a large army coming.
Half an hour later, a few guards went down the mountain to report, but they didn't see anyone rushing from this side at all.
Han Xuening entered the camp and told Wei Yunxuan and Mr. Wen about it.
It was a big blow to Mr. Wen, "If the big army can't come, our plan will be in vain!" If we don't get it right, we'll still besiege the Persian army in the city. ”
The spies who came out of the east gate came to report that the Persian army had come out with a lot of troops at once, and that the nearly 10,000 soldiers of the defending army had been wiped out, and the 2,000 troops who rushed into the city had been almost killed.
Ma roughly led dozens of death squad members and the remaining naval troops, and they were still resisting stubbornly, and it was estimated that the resistance would not last long.
After hearing the news, everyone's hearts were discouraged.
It seems that this battle is destined to be lost.
Mr. Wen asked curiously, "Why are there so many Persian troops in the city?" actually killed all the 10,000 defenders of the East Gate who surrendered, and the main force of the naval army was about to consume 2,000 troops. ”
The commander of the East City Gate thought for a while and said, "In the past few days, there has not been much movement in the city, and the Persians must be mobilizing a large army from elsewhere to come here. On the edge of the canyon ten miles outside the west city gate, there are still 50,000 Persian main strong troops. ”
It seems that the main army of the Persians has entered the city, and now the battle is lost.
Now, Wei Yunxuan was thinking, there were still two thousand troops waiting outside the city, should these troops go in to support the army in the city?
He told everyone about the situation and asked for their advice.
Han Xuening said: "In this situation, reinforcements entering the city can't defeat tens of thousands of Persian troops. Besides, the Persian army in the city has a great advantage, and I think that the remaining 2,000 troops will return to the trap area and the trap area, and if the enemy army leaves the city, use the traps and traps to fight the enemy army to the death. ”
Mr. Wen also said that Han Xuening's plan was the best plan, and Wei Yunxuan immediately ordered it to go down, and the troops outside the city were dispersed into various organs and control areas.
In less than half an hour, another spy from the city came to report on the battle.
There were still dozens of sailors left in the city, and the horses were probably injured. In addition, after the southern gate was opened, there was no army to support at all.
The enemy army in the city is gathering all the troops and rushing towards the east gate, and it is estimated that it will be able to attack the east gate in less than ten minutes.
Everyone was puzzled again, why didn't the army of the three stockades come?
This time, it was definitely a big defeat.
Wei Yunxuan immediately decided, and the headquarters began to evacuate towards the mountain.
Originally, on the hill to the west of Liangzhuang, traps and evacuation routes were arranged, but now, they can only evacuate towards the mountain.
Dozens of logistical sailors began to evacuate with food, tents, quilts, etc.
Ten minutes later, twenty or thirty members of the death squad at the gate of the East City retreated under the leadership of Ma Kuo.
Wei Yunxuan immediately called a force of archers led by Hua Zijian to go to support, and after they came out, it was Wu Tong who also retreated with more than a dozen forwards.
Then, followed by a dense stream of Persian cavalry and infantry, in hot pursuit.
"Oh no, the Persian army is really chasing this side." Han Xuening also felt that the situation was not good.
The logistics troops picked up Ma and Wutong, both of whom were wounded.
Wu Tong's injuries were light, and the horse's injuries were relatively serious, and there were many arrows on his body.
The logistics troops hurriedly retreated the wounded up the hill.
The 2,000 naval troops in ambush, some of them resisted the advance of the Persian army, and some of them led the Persian army into various places where traps had been set.
The whole battle was fought outside the city, and sure enough, the Persian army was once again hit by traps and traps, and suffered heavy casualties.
After an afternoon of fighting, the Persian army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and Wei Yunxuan's naval army, which had 2,000 men, became less than 100 men, and almost all of them were wiped out.
Mr. Wen told all the remaining men to withdraw to the mountain, and took advantage of the traps and barriers on the mountain, so that the Persian army could not attack for a while.
Zhong Xiaozi and Mu Xiaoyun evacuated ahead of schedule with the logistics troops, so they were not injured.
Bai Zijun and Hua Zijian were not injured, but the army of archers they trained had grown from five hundred to less than fifty.
It's a huge loss!
Everyone evacuated to a cave on the mountain, where traps and traps had been set up.
Some of the pursuing Persians pursued them up the hill, and hundreds of them died in traps and traps, and in the end, the Persian lord told them not to pursue them anymore.
He arranged a large number of troops to surround the mountain where Wei Yunxuan and the others were, and camped far away on the spot, obviously wanting to trap the remaining people on the mountain.
Wei Yunxuan and Han Xuening all evacuated to the cave, and a few archers outside were guarding the traps and traps, and as long as the enemy rushed up, they would end their lives.
In this way, the enemy army could not rush up the mountain for a while.
In winter, although the snow is fluttering outside, the temperature inside is relatively high.
The cave is relatively large, and tents can be built inside the cave.
The soldiers set up several tents in the cave, and the wounded rested on quilts in the tents.
Mr. Wen was looking at the wounds of the horse, who had been shot at more than a dozen arrow wounds. One of the arrows also hit the heart, and the condition was critical.
Wei Yunxuan also stood next to Ma Kuo, looking at his subordinates who had followed him for more than ten years, and now he was so seriously injured, he didn't feel good in his heart.
"Roughly! You've got to hold on! ”
"Lord Wang! I'm fine with this injury, just rest for a few days! Ma roughly still had a smile on his face, which made the people watching even more sad.
Ma gave a general account of what had happened in the city.
Their vanguard death squad followed up with the main force of the city's naval army, and the 10,000 troops of the defending army also surrendered, which could have easily taken the city of Great Wei.
They attacked the city of Great Wei, and suddenly saw a large number of cavalry, many of whom were holding bows and arrows, and some were long knives, shooting arrows and slashing at their troops.
Bai Zijun's archer troops resisted the other side, and everyone suffered heavy casualties.
However, the Persian army was more and more numerous, and these people died in front and rushed up in the back.
According to the horses, the Persian army in the city estimated that 20,000 horses had died, but many more rushed from behind.
