51. Speak for granted

Liao Hua, who had just climbed to the top of the city in the clouds, saw this scene, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to kill the four gates along the city wall, try to intercept and kill the enemy and flee, and kill those who dared to resist, and those who begged to surrender were on standby. As for the East City Gate, which had been blocked by the enemy, he could only scold and curse while directing the soldiers to move the earth and stone debris in the door as soon as possible.

An hour later, the dust settled, and the 20,000 Xianbei horsemen guarding the city were killed in addition to two or three thousand in the siege battle; Desperately protecting the thousands of Xianbei soldiers who rushed out of the west gate of Budugen, and chased dozens of miles at the tail of the Red Tiger Iron Cavalry, most of the casualties, before they were able to flee south to the nearest tribal gathering place --- Shaling County; And the remaining more than 10,000 all abandoned their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for surrender.

After the war, the results of the battle were counted: there were still tens of thousands of old and weak women and children of the Xianbei Xianbei tribe in Yunzhong City, as well as Han slaves who had been taken captive for many years and had lost their sense of resistance.

In the continuous waving to the cheering soldiers, Wang Bo, who rode into the city of clouds with his head held high, turned around with satisfaction and ordered: all the seriously injured prisoners of war should be beheaded, and the rest should be organized into a coolie battalion, and the battlefield should be cleaned up immediately, and the defense of the city in the clouds should be reinforced.

The damage of the Xinghan army in this battle was not small, the cavalry died mainly in the fierce battle outside the city, the loss of more than 300 horses, and the harness has been recovered, even the horses killed in the battle also cut off the legs, as far as possible to delay the exposure of the Xinghan army's horse harness.

The damage of sword and shield soldiers and spearmen was relatively large, reaching nearly 1,000; There were only a few dozen heavy shield soldiers and Mo sword soldiers, and almost all of them died of serious internal injuries caused by heavy blows. There are also a few members of the Modao team who were unable to get up in time because they were knocked down, and their feet were cut off and their bodies were unharmed, which is sighing.

The loss of the crossbowmen was unexpected, reaching eight or nine hundred, which made him realize the negligence of long-range protection. The Xianbei short bow could not penetrate heavy shields and iron armor, but it could easily burrow into the body of crossbowmen who were only protected by soft leather armor, which was the reason for their heavy casualties.

Under Wang Bo's idea of killing the enemy and preserving my army, the Xinghan Army attached great importance to long-range combat power, and the Red Tiger Army was equipped with nearly forty percent of crossbowmen, and it was not easy to train accurate archers. On the battlefield, drawing some archers with strong arm strength and superb archery skills to concentrate on shooting the enemy's commanding officers is often more effective than killing a large number of ordinary soldiers, and it is more likely to cause confusion and defeat of the enemy's army.

Seeing Niu Da crying silently and silently watching a large number of archers who died in battle, Wang Bo felt a burst of sadness and chagrin in his heart. Therefore, at the post-war summary meeting, he personally reviewed his mistakes and promised that he must strengthen the protective equipment of crossbowmen in the future. The generals also secretly said that it was a pity, and they were impressed by the open-mindedness of their own lord.

At night, the Xinghan army, full of war meals, fell into a deep sleep with the exhaustion after the battle, and snoring loudly in the barracks, leaving thousands of heavy reserves to guard the bound Xianbei prisoners. Wang Bo, who couldn't sleep all night, simply took Xu Chu to inspect everywhere, comforted the injured soldiers, and visited the Han slaves who were rescued and at a loss. After consideration, most of them were temporarily placed in the baggage camp, which was responsible for supervising the work of Xianbei prisoners of war.

On the second day, he received a report from the Green Wolf Army: its battle results were abundant, and the Xianbei people's gathering place of hundreds of miles on the north and south sides of Yunzhong City was swept away by the Blue Wolf Army, and the materials obtained were burned countless in addition to their own retention. Tens of thousands of Xianbei horsemen who were scattered by the Red Tiger Army outside Yunzhong City, and the Green Wolf Army also intercepted and killed a lot.

According to another scout report: The Xianbei people in Shaling and Yangshou counties have tried their best to gather soldiers under the command of Budugen, who fled to Shanan, and the Xianbei South Route Army in Shanan also abandoned the city and converged on Shaling. Niu Feihu reminded Wang Bo to pay attention to the countermeasures to deal with the attack of a large number of Xianbei horses. However, he did not receive a report from Beiyu, Wuquan and other places that the Han Department was heading south, perhaps because he did not know the news in the clouds yet.

Wang Bo groaned for a while, and sent the reserve army to select some people from the Han slaves who were familiar with the habits of cattle and sheep, and went to the Green Wolf Army to receive cattle and sheep, horses, old and weak women and children into the clouds, and at the same time asked people to find a way to strengthen the dilapidated city wall in the clouds.

Because Yunzhong was located in the center of the Qiantao Plain, and there were no rocks around it that could be used, he had no choice but to make a fence with wooden sticks, and then ram it with wet soil to increase the weak points and vulnerable points of the city wall. Finally, all the stones used for most of the houses in Cloud City were moved to the city. He also dug many trenches and foot-deep horse traps outside the city......

When he was busy, he received an urgent report from Yang Feng from Xinghan City from Wujin County: Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, sent his son Lu Bu to lead more than 10,000 cavalry troops to Xinghan City a few days ago, and wanted to go out of the Imperial Slave Pass to help the Xinghan army attack Xianbei. Yang Feng and others thought about it again and again and decided to let go, and after Lu Bu agreed to disarm the weapons and war horses, someone guided them through the two levels throughout the whole process, and gave each other a batch of Xinghan wine.

After reading the report, Wang Bo understood the reason why the Xianbei army in the north did not go south. Asked everyone to discuss, and everyone thought that Ding Tingshi's move was okay, and Yang Feng also did it very safely. After all, Ding Yuan is loyal to the Han Dynasty, if the Xinghan army can defend the border for him, and even defeat the Xianbei who is in trouble, it will also be a great achievement for him, at this time, there should be no moths, and with more than 10,000 people, they will not be able to occupy the well-defended Xinghan City.

He replied to the letter praising Yang Feng for being prudent and thoughtful, and told him to pay close attention to the movements of the Hu people east of Yuhu Pass, and to deal with it decisively in case of emergencies.

Within two days, a large herd of cattle, sheep, and horses from the north and south directions were driven to Yunda. Before long, the Niu brothers who were in charge of the resettlement came to the door: there were too many of them, and if they all rushed into the city, I am afraid that it would not be conducive to the mobilization of the Xinghan army.

Wang Bo doesn't have a good way, he can't hand it over to Xianbei anymore, right? I had to let the baggage battalion set up more fences, try to reduce the scope of cattle and sheep activities, and have special personnel regularly drive the action and feed them with fodder to prevent a large number of deaths from illness.

The current Cloud City has simply become a large-scale breeding farm in the previous life, with piles of cattle, continuous flocks of sheep, and countless large and small horses, all crowded into this city with a radius of less than five miles, almost occupying more than half of the city. Fortunately, Wang Bo demolished a lot of houses in the city, otherwise it would really be impossible to accommodate. Wang Bo ordered all the crossbowmen to be transferred to the city wall and stationed; And all the Xianbei old and weak moved to the root of the outer wall of the city to set up tents, so that the wounded soldiers of the Xinghan army had enough resting place, as for the Xianbei prisoners of war had to squeeze at night, during the day by the Han people and the reserve army to supervise, a large number of grass all over the mountains and fields, in order to feed the huge number of livestock in the city.

Wang Bo stood at the head of the city in a daze: the city was full of dense herds of cattle, sheep and horses that were in turmoil from time to time, and dozens of miles outside the city were the Xianbei army that was constantly gathering and slowly approaching. It seems that this step is still not convinced, and he wants to die to the end! What is the next step for the Xinghan Army? Will you hold on to the city, or will you take the initiative? I couldn't make up my mind for a while.

At this time, Niu Dazhuang led more than a dozen young men to come, knelt down far away from Wang Bo, and carefully said his thoughts through Niu Dazhuang.

It turned out that these people were all ordinary people who had been farming in Yanmen County for generations, and they knew the scarcity of cattle and the significance of the land, and the decree that the Ming Law of the Han Dynasty did not allow the slaughter of cattle and the consumption of beef had been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so they did not understand the practice of the Xinghan army to slaughter some cattle, and begged with tears not to slaughter. Niu Dazhuang is also honest, he can't be entangled, and he can't beat and scold him ruthlessly, so he has to lower his head and find Wang Bolai with a red face.

After listening to their narration, Wang Bo couldn't answer, and reluctantly asked them to get up, also with a wry smile and a frown, looking at the bustling herd of livestock and thinking for a while.

Suddenly attracted by a commotion in the herd, and on closer inspection, it was two sturdy bulls who were not convinced by each other, and were stalking their necks and pouting their tails, and because of the small place, they provoked the other cows beside them to scurry.

Looking at it, Wang Bo's eyes lit up, and then he laughed heartily, patted Niu Dazhuang's shoulder and walked away, leaving everyone stunned.

Wang Bo smiled strangely all the way to find Chen Zhi and Liao Hua, and said what he thought in his heart, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard it. Liao Hua gave a thumbs up first, and complimented him from the bottom of his heart: "The lord's imagination is unlimited, and we really can't wait for it!" I Liao Yuanjian is fortunate to fight side by side with the lord in this life, and this life is in vain! If the Xianbei dog comes to attack, this battle will definitely be famous in history and famous for centuries! After speaking, he and Chen Zhi and others were rarely arrogant and laughed wildly.

After laughing, Wang Bomei Zizi issued two military orders: inform the Green Wolf Army to gather the soldiers who were scattered to fight and move closer to Cloud City; Arrange for Niu Dazhuang to stop slaughtering livestock, select hundreds of wild adult bulls from the herd, and concentrate them at the south gate as much as possible, so that people can properly manage them. Only then did he put his hands behind his back, paced back to the tent calmly, set up a table of small wine and food, and waited for the arrival of the Xianbei army while taking turns to treat the generals.

In the next day, the scouts continued to gather the details of the Xianbei army approaching the clouds in front of Wang Bo. The Xianbei army in Shanan and Yangshou had already been armed, and the preliminary judgment was that there were no less than fifty or sixty thousand horsemen, and they slowly pressed towards the clouds. Judging from the current pace of marching, it will reach a few miles south of Yunzhong in half a day. But the strange thing is that unlike the rush and fire when they gathered a few days ago, the Xianbei cavalry, who usually moves like the wind and comes and goes without a trace, marches as slow as a snail these days, and only travels more than ten miles a day, if it is safe, it also seems too procrastinating.

Wang Bo also wondered when he heard this: if the Xianbei people are eager to take revenge and regain their lair, they should take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Xinghan army and immediately gather people to attack; And if you are afraid of the Xinghan army, you should retreat to Shanan, Shaling and other places to defend, or simply flee west to Xianyang, but what does it mean to approach slowly?

And why has there been no movement in the direction of Fuluo Hanbu in the direction of Yuanyang and Beiyu in the north? Could it be that he hasn't gotten the news of the defeat in the root cloud of Budugen? No way! In the battle outside Yunzhong City, more than 30,000 or 40,000 Xianbei troops were defeated and thousands were killed, even if there were Red Tiger Cavalry and Blue Wolf Army interception, at least 20,000 cavalry fled elsewhere, and it was impossible for Fu Luohan not to receive the news. Besides, the two brothers, Budugen and Fuluohan, have always advanced and retreated together with the same qi, and there is no reason not to save when they die? Could it be that he was entangled by the killing god Lu Bu? But Lu Bu hasn't been out of the martial arts for a long time? Could it be that the movements of the wolf riders in Bingzhou are faster than those of the Xinghan army?

Others are also confused, Wang Bo hopes that Budugen will attack, and he can end this war as soon as possible. Unable to think of a clue, Wang Bo simply ordered Niu Feihu to divide the green wolf army into two routes, all the way to the south, crossing the Huanggan River to Yuanyang and Beiyu to continue to sweep, if the brigade of Xianbei cavalry on the way will immediately break away, just find a way to figure out its number and action intentions; On the other hand, they cooperated with hundreds of Red Tiger Army, and the Xianbei old and weak women and children captured at this stage went west with some of the captured cattle and sheep to Wujin County, and if they were intercepted by a large group of enemy troops on the way, they would immediately give up.

On the third day, Budugen led an army of 60,000 and finally arrived at the city of clouds.

Solidly set up camps, rejecting horses, walls, arrow towers, trenches, patrols... Everything you need and quite well prepared. Wang Bo stood on the top of the city, and could even see hundreds of Xianbei men holding big shields flashing in the enemy camp.

This is rare in the past, the Xianbei people and the Xinghan army fought, mainly three axes: riding and rushing, bow shooting, and guerrilla fighting, and now it is to make the fight afraid, so they will not hesitate to use all the protective equipment.

But after Budugen camped and settled, he didn't have the slightest intention of attacking, but kept sending rangers to harass and test the Xinghan army, and there were several small-scale fierce battles with the Xinghan army scouts in one day. Later, Budugen also sent an envoy to ask Wang Bo: Why is it treacherous? Ignoring the previous agreement and sneaking into the clouds?

When did you have an appointment with Budugen? Do you have such sincere conditions in your camp? …… Wang Bo was in the tent, sneering and scolding the Xianbei envoy with a blue nose and swollen face, Niu Er hurriedly walked into the big tent and brought a shocking news: Lu Bu's army, which had disappeared for several days, had captured Yuanyang two days ago and was preparing to cross the river to attack Beiyu, Wuquan and other places where the Fuluo Han Department was entrenched.

This is the scout of the Green Wolf Army who swept south, learned the situation from the Xianbei people who fled south, reported to the main general, and Niu Feihu immediately sent someone to report to Wang Bo quickly.

Only then did Wang Bo be convinced that Budugen was hesitant outside Yunzhong City, waiting for his brother to help Luo Han go south. And Fu Luohan had not moved before, it should have been when he received news from Yunzhong that the shrinking troops were preparing to go south, but they were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Lu Bujun.

While pondering, Chen Zhi suddenly patted his head and said loudly and urgently: "The lord should immediately order the Red Tiger Cavalry to cut off the water from Yunzhong to Baiqu and block the news, in case Bu Dugen learns that the Fuluo Han Department cannot go south and retreats to Yangshou, then the Wuxing Han army will also attack the fortifications again, which will only increase casualties." Therefore, our army should attack the enemy camp tonight, and the last general will ask for orders! ”

"Hmmm! Uncle Zhi is reasonable! After Wang Bo finished speaking, he turned to Niu Dazhuang and asked, "Dazhuang, have you done what I explained?" ”

"It's all there! Just wait for the Lord's decree! Niu Dazhuang patted his chest and held his head high.

"Very good! The order goes down: All the soldiers except those who are left behind, immediately rest and recuperate, and make food tonight, and destroy the enemy when they are ugly! Wang Bo Zhengse ordered.

"Whoa! Xinghan Wansheng! The generals waved their fists, trying their best to hold back the excitement of opening their mouths, and rushed out.

Time passed little by little, and Wang Bo, who was tossing and turning, felt that time passed very slowly before each big war, and often wondered if he had an anxiety disorder? And after the end of the war, Wang Bo, who hardly went into battle, slept like he was tired and collapsed. After taking two tablets of Zhang Ning's tranquilizer, he couldn't do anything, so he had to sit up and inspect around with Xu Chu.

When he finally got ugly, the excited Wang Bo kicked away Xu Er, who was muttering and thinking about it, and sat on the head of the city to admire the majestic posture of his son.
