26. Secret scolding

Wang Bo watched happily every day, a large number of materials needed by the Xinghan army were piled up in the warehouse, and what he paid was only a few Xinghan wines, and most of them were made of wine made by others. I just processed it a little, and it was dozens of times the profit when I changed hands! This is simply an empty glove white wolf! Why is it so easy to make money now? How is it so easy? It's as hard as in the previous life!

Just as Wang Bo took two bodyguards and swaggered around his territory! Yang Feng, who had been very busy, hurried up, and without waiting for Wang Bo, who was a little strange, to ask, he had already stepped forward and said, "Lord! The real flying tiger came to report, and the Xianbei people gathered again to attack, and I am afraid that the soldiers will come to the slave pass soon! ”

"Dogs are rampant! The previous lesson was not enough to deter their covetousness? This time, the soldiers of Wuxing Han must look good! When Wang Bo heard this, his good mood was immediately interrupted, and he immediately became angry. He also ordered a meeting of the generals to discuss how to deal with the enemy who came from Xianbei.

The crowd sat around, filled with righteous indignation, and scrambled to be the first to ask for orders.

Because Wang Bo wants to give Xianbei people a profound lesson this time, don't hurt anymore, and come back in a few days. Therefore, before the discussion, Wang Bo clearly announced the effect to be achieved in this battle: after this battle, the Xianbei people should be frightened and know that the Xinghan army is a hard stubble! Don't dare to do it casually, at least before the winter comes, a large number of nomadic young people have not rushed back to the clouds, and they dare not harass again!

This requires this battle not only to retreat in the Imperial Slave Pass to defend, but also to find an opportunity to take the initiative! Even if you can't wipe out all the enemies who come to you, you must completely defeat them!

But basically, the people sitting there are a group of rough men who are screaming and roaring, telling them to dance guns and sticks, go into battle to kill people and make peace, and to coordinate the overall situation, the whole strategy of saving time and effort, and reducing casualties, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

Yang Feng and Liao Hua have some experience in commanding the legion to fight, but it is a method of attrition that kills thousands of enemies and loses eight hundred, which is not advisable! Chen Zhi should be able to play some tricks, but unfortunately he has too little experience! As for Xu Chu and the rest of the people, they are all like to fight alone, and they are afraid that even their own lord can be thrown aside, let alone if they kill red eyes!

After discussing for a long time, he didn't come up with a good suggestion, so Wang Bo had no choice but to wave his hand, leaving only Yang Feng, Liao Hua, Chen Zhi and Niu Feihu, spreading out the map made of cowhide on the table, while inquiring in detail about the situation outside Niu Feihu's imperial slave pass, and discussing the possibility of the Xinghan army taking the initiative with Yang Feng and others.

With more than 200 cavalry battalions, no matter how brave they are, they will not be able to storm into the thousands of horsemen. Nothing else, Wang Bo is not so arrogant as to take the infantry to do cavalry, unless his head is kicked several times by the donkey!

Even if you put the "wolf owl army" in front, you can't do it! Let's not say that Wang Bo is reluctant at all, he would rather sacrifice part of the combat strength of the whole army, but also the baby bump that he has painstakingly cultivated, is there any damage to this? Just relying on the strength of the Xinghan army, under the endless life-filling tactics of Hu Qi, it will eventually be exhausted. The current Xinghan army, not to mention the exhaustion of soldiers, even if the damage is greater, it cannot afford it. Because Wang Bo estimated that this battle was just a small test, and the real battle was after the late autumn when the herdsmen returned to the tribe, and I am afraid that Bu Dugen would personally lead the troops to come. So the damage must not be too severe now.

If the front is not good, then there is only a surprise attack when Hu Cai is tired, or when he is unexpected, as long as the Hu soldiers are in chaos, even if they succeed for most of them, they are not allowed to be slaughtered by the Xinghan army? The "wolf owl army" raised by the master every day is fat and strong, lively, do you think it is a vegetarian?

The key is how to succeed in the sneak attack? Wang Bo pondered for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a good way. The last gritted teeth: If you don't learn Zhuge Liang, do you want to live a few more years? I had to rest with the regret of not having a strategist.

Early the next morning, for the first time in the morning, the Xinghan army did not run in the morning, and everyone worked together to transport the materials for defending the city to the Imperial Slave Pass. The logistics youth made every effort to control the things used to defend the city, and sent Zhang Baiqi and Niu Feihu to lead the cavalry battalion and scout camp out of the Imperial Slave Pass, and constantly harassed the Hu cavalry advancing eastward. The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy stops and disturbs, and tries to delay the pace of Xianbei cavalry.

After arranging, Wang Bo picked up the latest enemy situation and the map and thought about it.

These enemies who came to attack were still the Chile tribe last time. However, the number of people has increased a lot, reaching 10,000 people. But this time was different from the last time: the army brought more than 2,000 Han Chinese slaves, each of whom carried burlap sacks or wheelbarrows.

This is the loss of the trench last time, and this time I used slaves to fill the trench! That's not good! If there is no entrenchment to block it, how many fewer people will die in Hu Qi? The defensive pressure of the Xinghan army has become much greater, and even if they don't take the initiative to attack, damage is inevitable.

No way! Even if you want to break your head, you have to think of a good way to raid!

Hiding in the mountains, not to mention that you can't go up, you just go up, and when you want to make a surprise attack, how can you come down, you can't jump directly on the enemy's head, right? Hiding at the foot of the mountain, with the steady progress of the Chile Department this time, it will definitely be discovered if it hides too much, and it will be destroyed easily, and it is useless to hide less. Hide to the east bank of the river, there is water to block the sneak attack during the day, and the Xianbei people are no longer guarded at night, and they do not send a few sentry, and when they cross the river, they are afraid that they will be discovered early. If there is a count, it will be counted...... Wang Bo thought of this, and was shocked into a cold sweat, no! Too risky!

Rear detour, right? Actually, there is no way at all. Even if you climb out of the mountains around Xinghan City, and wait until you go around to the rear of Xianbei Cavalry, I'm afraid that if you don't find out, you have already missed the battle, right? Even if you can catch up with the battle, do you still have the strength to kill the enemy?

There's really nothing to be done! Wang Bo shook his head that was a little dazed: Forget it, I don't want to! Let it be! Ye is not Zhuge Liang? How can there be so many schemes, let's go to the Imperial Slave Pass first!

Two days after Wang Bo arrived at the Imperial Slave Pass, the Xianbei cavalry also arrived. still stopped hundreds of steps in front of the trench, but Wang Bo soon discovered: Xianbei people are determined to capture the Imperial Slave Pass this time!

The enemy is too well prepared! Deer carts, slaves, digging tools, cowhide shields, etc., there are already some people in the distance, from the side of the mountain, it seems that the wooden ladder is made, and some are building tents, rejecting horses, barricades, ......, everything is available, and even on the west bank of the Hunhe River near the slave pass, a simple defensive line has been made. This is to sneak down at night, and even more so to sneak across the river.

Only hard work! Wang Bo waved his fist to encourage himself, and immediately ordered: The bow and arrow battalion and the hunting team were mixed into three parts, one was to defend on the wall, and the other was to rest and stand by at the gate.

The last one, which is also the least numbered, hangs down from the narrow part of the wall on the east bank of the river every night, hangs down with a rope basket, and fires rockets at the Xianbei camp along the east bank of the river, making noise and harassing the Xianbei dogs, and preventing the Xianbei dogs from resting. The river was sixty or seventy paces wide, and the range of the hunting party's bows and arrows was just enough to reach some defenses on the opposite bank, as well as tents on the edge of the camp, not to mention the bow and arrow camp. Every hour and a half, he harassed and returned to the wall during the day.

While giving the order, Wang Bo also scolded fiercely: You don't let the master have a good time, and the master doesn't make you comfortable!

On that day, the Xianbei people did not attack, but were preparing to tackle key problems. Tents are densely scattered on the west bank of the Hunhe River, which is not spacious. The deer carts and pockets were full of earth and stones, and dozens of ladders were also prepared, making sufficient preparations for the next day's attack on the Imperial Slave Pass.

However, in the evening of the same day, the Xianbei Chile people, who had been busy all day, tasted the dismount given by the Xinghan army.

Under the leadership of Niu Da, they harassed all night, and the tent near the riverbank, every other hour, was ignited by an indiscriminate fire oil arrow, although it was quickly extinguished by the awakened soldiers, but under such constant trouble, sleep may have become a luxury.

The leader of Chile, who was like thunder, organized his subordinates to shoot arrows to shoot back, but the cunning Xinghan army, every time they harassed, concentrated dozens of arrows, shot at one or two places, and then stopped shooting arrows, holding some broken things, and the beating was quite loud. Although he has been increasing the number of people who fight back, the arrows he shot out seemed to sink into the sea, and he didn't react at all, and he didn't even hear a scream after shooting back all night.

Willing to send people across the river to kill these hateful harassers, they have to detour for miles, and when they reach the other side, they don't know if these people are still there? Second, the black is not loud, and I am afraid of being ambushed. had to spend the night in swearing and depression.

When I got up the next day, I saw that the warriors of my tribe were all listless, especially the 2,000 Han slaves, who were not presentable, and they walked with one eye closed. How can this state be launched?

The leader of Chile had no choice but to give the order to rest for a morning until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then prepare for the attack. He also sent the wounded vulture bones to cross the river from the upstream water, and set up a "long snake formation" along the wide area between the river bank and the cliff, and Lala continued to garrison more than 1,000 people.

Only then did I put my mind at ease, and I also figured out why I didn't hear it yesterday, and the screams of the harassers turned out to be very simple: the enemy hid in the pit dug out, and immediately hid with an arrow. The leader of Chile, who was almost so angry that he was suffocated from his internal injuries, vented his anger on the afternoon tackling.

As soon as the time came, the horns of the Xianbei people attacked and whined.

It's still the old way: Xianbei archers stand on the edge of the ditch and shoot arrows at the wall to cover the Han slaves from filling the ditch. Although it is almost not much danger to the Xinghan army on the light wall, it is better than nothing, and it plays a role in providing a lot of arrows for the Xinghan army.

A large group of Hu cavalry in the back lined up in several columns, staring at it fiercely, and after the passage was widened, they charged towards the Imperial Slave Pass.

After hearing the order, the Xianbei people drove the Han slaves, pushed them on their shoulders and hands, and a group of people rushed to both sides of the middle passage of the trench, and kept dumping the earth and stones in the pockets and deer carts into them. The Xianbei people are not stupid, and they also divide the Han slaves into several waves, one wave has not returned after the end, and the other group has rushed up again, the speed is very fast, like an endless tide, wave after wave.

On the side of the Xinghan army, Wang Bo also ordered the 400 bow battalion, which was also divided into three waves, using the range of the three-stone bow, which was slightly farther away than the short bow of the Xianbei people, only aiming and shooting the Xianbei archers, and trying not to shoot the Han people, but occasionally mistakenly, it was helpless.

Seeing that the Han slaves kept filling in the trenches and widening the passage, the impatient Huang Long behind him proposed that the filling slaves must be solved first, otherwise the passage will be widened, and soon a large number of Hu cavalry will be on the way, and it is only a matter of time before the slaves are shot!

But Wang Bo vetoed: they are all Han people, and they are also forced to be helpless. Besides, even if they are all shot, what if another batch of Xianbei people arrives? It's just a waste of arrows. The Xinghan army may have to bear the notoriety of killing its fellow clansmen! If you want to kill the culprit, kill the Xianbei people, and treat your compatriots as much as you can.

When the leader of Chile saw it, he was shot by the archers of the Xinghan army one by name, and the Xianbei warriors, who seemed a little panicked, waved his hand, and dozens of tall cowhide wooden shields were raised and erected. With the protection of the big shield, the casualties of the Xianbei people were greatly reduced. The leader of Chile scratched the back of his head like a chicken nest, looked at the Han slaves who kept pouring dirt, and let out a bad breath, laughed, and trembled the fat in his chest and abdomen, and the Hu soldiers behind him also followed, howling exaggeratedly.

At that time, because the ditch was built in a hurry, it was not too wide, and it was only more than two zhang deep, and after a few rounds of earth and rocks went down, near the passage, you could already see the earth and stones that had been poured into it, and slowly squeezed out the river.

At this time, the leader of Chile ordered the slaves to add some rocks and wood, which could make the new passage a little harder, enough to support the cavalry charge, otherwise the horse would lose its front hooves, but it would not be fun. In the end, I didn't feel at ease, and I laid another layer of wooden boards and cowhides, which was also painstaking and bloody.

Looking at the Xianbei people jumping around in the distance, Wang Bo frowned, rolled his eyes, and asked the archers to work in groups of five, take rockets, and shoot the cowhide shields used by the Xianbei people to protect, and selected a few of the best archery skills, and selected the most active among the slaves to shoot their limbs.

This change was immediate, not much time, the Xianbei people standing behind the cowhide shield, watching the fire more and more vigorous, at a loss, some were splashed on the face by the fire oil, screaming indiscriminately.

Among the Han slaves, there were also screams that rang out constantly. The slaves, who used to do heavy work, did not have a good rest last night, and their work was a little slow, and now it is even slower, because whoever runs fast is shot by arrows.

The leader of Chile began to scream again, and had to order the big shield, which was too late to be rescued, to push down the trench. After losing more than a dozen Xianbei warriors, the herald ordered the archers to take twenty steps back, so that although a lot of damage could be reduced, the Xianbei bow and arrows could no longer reach the top of the pass, and could not play a little cover.

I had to order the archers to stop firing, and not to waste their efforts. Regardless of the earth-filling slaves, they were all exposed to the range of the Xinghan army. And the speed at which the slaves fill the ditch is getting slower and slower, and even if the vicious Xianbei people behind them are whipped and slashed, it is useless to be whipped and slashed, and it is better to be whipped a few times than to die! When he returned, he was a thief who ran fast.

Who knows that the more annoying ones are yet to come! Seeing the Xianbei cavalry retreating, the Xinghan army on the opposite side closed the door of the imperial slave and opened a door, drilled out a few big men with shields, and after standing at the door a few steps, they shouted in unison: "My Han family's son Lang would rather die than help Hu Gou!" The general of my family can't bear to harm the lives of Er, and the blood of Ruer and others still exists, so if you take this opportunity to defect to the Wuxing Han army, we will also try our best to protect them! ”

After shouting in unison several times, he shot several smoke-emitting arrows from the wall and stuck them in the midst of the slaves.

In the midst of the frowning of the leader of Chile, a large wave of slaves who had just thrown down the earth and stones in their hands rushed to the Imperial Slave Pass. Without looking back, the speed was almost catching up with the "flying man".

The big man at the gate shouted again: "Pass in the middle!" Pass in the middle! ”。 The scattered crowd moved closer to the middle passage, and arrows filled with smoke shot down from time to time on the wall.

The leader of Chile was furious: "Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Han dog is shameless! ”

A large canopy of arrows flew towards the running crowd, and many slaves fell, but there were also nearly a hundred people, some of whom ran to the gate without danger, fell to the ground and gasped for breath, and some even looked back at the Xianbei people and laughed. Then, under the reprimand of the Xinghan army, he quickly fled into the pass.
