Whenever the Xianbei cavalry couldn't bear to rush out, several people turned their horses back, and then waited for the enemy to return, repeating the previous behavior. Even the nightly harassment on the east bank of the river did not have the heart to fight back, and only when the rockets occasionally ignited the tent, did they startle the chickens and dogs for a while.

The leader of Chile, who had been tossed all night, ordered to continue the attack on the Imperial Slave Pass before noon the next day. As a result, the languishing Xianbei soldiers were driven away again, and summoned up the courage to kill the seemingly impregnable Imperial Slave Pass.

It has been several days in a row, the Xianbei soldiers who have not had a good rest, after yesterday's repeated shocks, basically did not sleep at night, but barely lay down for more than two hours in the morning, and they can't slow down at all, and now they are exhausted and their morale is very low, especially when they see the very eye-catching "Jingguan" pile in front of the pass, they are even more frightened. But under the reprimand of the leaders of the various departments, he had to continue yesterday's unfinished journey of death, but the war-weariness on his face became stronger and stronger.

The result of such a group of soldiers attacking such a fortified pass can be imagined.

When the battle barely reached Shen, the Xinghan army on the Imperial Slave Pass stood still. Today, because Wang Bo emphasized that everyone should pay attention to protecting themselves, and as a last resort, they might as well let some enemy troops climb to the top of the pass and hand them over to other brothers to deal with.

In this case, there are many more Xianbei soldiers who rushed to the top of the pass today than yesterday, but no matter how many people rushed up, how brave and powerful the Xianbei warriors who rushed up were wiped out in an instant under the fierce slashing of the wolf guards like autumn wind sweeping leaves. Some finally rushed up, and when they saw this formation, they were immediately frightened and panicked, turned around and jumped off the wall, it is estimated that even if there are so many human flesh pads underneath, they will be crippled if they don't die.

The leader of Chile looked at the tribal warriors who were killed and injured more than yesterday, and jumped to pull the vulture bone that was pretending to be sick, and ordered it to return to the tribe to reunite the warriors, and before he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood gushed out and shot the vulture bone in the face, so shocked that the vulture bone almost urinated into the animal skin skirt.

The entourage pinched for a long time before waking up. The leader of Chile covered his chest, which was still suffocating, like a big stone, and struggled to the vulture bone that was kneeling on the ground, not even daring to wipe his face, and shouted: "Why don't you go quickly? I'll cut off the dog's head! ”

The vulture bone hurriedly took the order and ran out of this place of right and wrong in a puff of smoke.

The "Jingguan" pile under the Imperial Slave Pass doubled in size one day later, and the casualties of the Xinghan Army's War Division also nearly doubled, which was still the result of supplementing a lot of auxiliaries to participate in the battle, and the bow battalion was the heaviest, and the remaining three or four out of ten capable fighters.

In the big tent of the Xinghan army, there was a dead silence, Wang Bo's face was pale, panting, and staring at Niu Da who was reporting the battle damage to him. After a long time, he reached out and took the bamboo water cup, and he couldn't send it to his mouth in a trembling way, so he simply fell to the ground with a "snap", and shouted: "Call Yang Feng!" ”

Yang Feng came to him and comforted him with worry: "Don't be angry in your heart, lord! Have there been no people who have died in battle since ancient times? The situation is that the dog is damaged ......".

"Say no more!" Wang Bo interrupted rudely: "I'm here to ask you, do you dare to fight tonight?" ”

Without waiting for Yang Feng to respond, Ping Han next to him jumped into a fist and said, "Lord!" Our cavalry battalion has never fought in this battle, and the brothers are holding their breath in their hearts, and their eyes are also strange! Tonight, our cavalry battalion is going to fight! Please give the Lord's order! ”

"Get out!" Wang Bo didn't look at Ping Han, and yelled at Yang Feng again: "Do you dare to fight?" ”

Yang Feng solemnly straightened his chest, clasped his hands into fists and responded loudly: "Why don't you dare?" The lord just gives the order, and he will never give up! ”

"Lord, please order! We will never give up! Everyone behind him responded in unison.

"Great goodness! Defeat the enemy tonight! I want to finish the attack, and if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent! The congregation will obey the order! ”

"Whoa!"

"Xu Chu listens to orders! You led the wolf guards, sword and shield battalions, bow and arrow battalions, and spear battalions, and dived in the river tonight with bamboo pipes in hand, and did not take the lead. ”

"Pinghan, Niu Feihu listen to orders! You led the cavalry battalion and the reserve cavalry, and at the moment of Yin, when the enemy camp was in chaos, opened the gate, rushed straight to the enemy camp, and entered the camp again! Dead or wounded! ”

With a sigh of relief, Wang Bo gritted his teeth and added: "Your second army can only fight in the enemy camp, and must not rush to the periphery of the enemy camp!" Till death rest! Do you have an explicit order? ”

"Whoa! There is death and no life! Xinghan Wansheng! More than a dozen people replied with a sad face, but without hesitation.

"Yang Feng and Niu Da listen to orders! When the cavalry enters the enemy camp, they will shoot the enemy soldiers to the west and north of the enemy camp, and they will only shoot at the periphery of the enemy camp with more rockets! ”

"Before tomorrow, I will lead all the young and strong people to go into battle and fight Hu Gou with all the brothers! This battle is still a matter of life and death in the Wuxing Han army, and I hope that all the brothers will work together and fight bravely to kill the enemy! Yuan Hao is here to thank him! As he spoke, Wang Bo clasped his hands into fists and bowed to the end.

After the generals went out to prepare, Wang Bo opened his mouth at Yang Feng, but did not make any sound.

After the two looked at each other for a while, Wang Bo patted Yang Feng's back and said softly: "Brother, don't worry!" Be cautious in this battle! In the middle of the river, I have sent people to steal the water rope and go up the river, and the bamboo pipes have been prepared. The elder brother told the brothers: Dive underwater, just hold a rope in your hand and a bamboo pipe in your mouth, and you can safely reach the vicinity of the enemy camp! I try it, and it doesn't take half an hour. Just go when it's ugly! Take care! ”

"Second brother, take care! Don't take risks lightly, otherwise the foundation of our Xinghan will be ruined! After Yang Feng finished speaking, his eyes turned red, and he walked out of the big tent without looking back.

Wang Bo calmed down alone and thought about it again. Let the nightly harassment team continue. He also informed Wang Qi to transfer all the guards of the guard battalion except for the craftsmen's workshop left behind, and to join most of the defenders of Yuhu Pass, who were hurrying over, as well as the young and strong logistics, and put them into battle early tomorrow morning.

At this time, Chen Zhi said loudly at the door of the big tent: "I can go into battle for the lord!" After saying that, he strode out without looking back.

Everything was ready, and the Xianbei people were tossed for most of the night, but fortunately, when it was almost dawn, the Xinghan army stopped, and they could finally sleep for a while.

The leader of Chile was a little restless tonight, sometimes he was flustered for no reason, and sent people out of the camp several times to investigate, all of which reported that the Han army was no different, plus the routine harassers every night, who came on time, and he put his mind at ease and fell asleep.

As soon as the time came, as the arrows slowly rose from the slave close, another big battle began. The Xianbei camp, which was dead and silent before dawn, seemed to be a cauldron that had suddenly boiled, and immediately boiled.

Wang Bo stood at the top of the pass, staring motionless like a javelin at the Xianbei camp ...... that was constantly on fire and screaming.

When the time came, Wang Bo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, the back of his head hurt, and then he couldn't wake up.

When I woke up again, I opened my eyes and my head was full. Some are white, some have unshaven beards, and some are still covered with blood......

Wang Bo rolled his eyes and was shocked: Nima! Crossing again? I struggled to get up, but fortunately there was a shout in my ears.

"My lord! Lord! Wake up! ......" brought Wang Bo's thought that he was in the underworld back to reality.

Sitting up slowly, Wang Bo touched his chin and said to himself, "Why did I faint here?" All the old monks were silent.

After a long time, Yang Feng opened his mouth and shouted: "The lord is overjoyed! Hu Gou was defeated and retreated, and our army won a great victory! ”

After hearing this, Wang Bo grinned and asked, "How is the battle going?" How was the damage to our troops? Let's talk about it! ”

"When the Wuxing Han army attacked the enemy camp this morning, Hu Gou was defenseless! After Zhong Kang broke into the camp, within two moments, he entered the big tent of the enemy's Chinese army and beheaded the head of the enemy's chieftain. The Hu soldiers were in chaos, and we took the opportunity to set fire everywhere, and when the Pinghan brothers led the cavalry to kill, the enemy was already in a rout. ”

"After the hunting team shot and drove away the enemy troops on the periphery, all the Hu soldiers fled north along the valley road, but there were very few riders, all because after Zhong Kang broke into the enemy camp, the audience Hu dog ran in fear, and they had no heart to fight, so they ordered the bow battalion to stop next to the enemy's stable and prevent them from leading the horses!"

"I am now chasing Hu Lu with Ling Shuzhi, Pinghan leading the wolf guards, cavalry battalions, and scout battalions! The lord can be relieved. ”

"Uncle Chen?" Wang Bo wondered.

"That's right! The brave lord of Uncle Zhi has not been seen, and the peerless fierce general is not an exaggeration! And the vigilant battalion and the young and strong advance and retreat are well-founded, such as the command of the arm, and they have the demeanor of a general! Congratulations to the lord, and the handsome ...... again".

Who knew that Wang Bo suddenly jumped off the ground and scolded: "Uncle Chen!" Ru Huangkou child! Be a babe in the woods! Little Bunny! ......" but the crowd burst into laughter.

"I'm angry!" After scolding for a long time, Wang Bo, who felt that his mouth was dry, took a sip of water, and then listened to Yang Feng's description of the battle situation.

Yang Feng smiled and continued: "Second brother, don't worry! The enemy has been broken! At the end of the day, our army has won a great victory! ”

"Hahaha......" Wang Bo and the others laughed heartily.

Wang Bo laughed for a while, his expression froze, and he swept towards everyone seriously. Yang Feng and the others were laughing heartily, and when they saw Wang Bo's expression, they all stopped in disdain, and some even maintained a funny appearance with their mouths wide open.

I only heard Wang Bo ask slowly: "What about the casualties of the brothers of the Wuxing Han Army?" Have you ever broken your muscles and bones? ”

Yang Feng also said in a low tone: "In today's battle, except for the small damage of the people who followed Zhongkang, the rest are negligible!" The tone changed: "Ran killed nearly 1,000 Xianbei dogs, and at the end of the day, more than 3,000 enemies have been captured, more than 5,000 war horses have been captured, grain and grass are not counted, in addition, there are still a number of cattle and sheep!" ”

Wang Bo nodded, and waved his hand to signal everyone to go down and rest.

At noon, Chen Dao, Ping Han, Zhang Baiqi and others staggered back. Although the cavalry was exhausted, they still couldn't contain the excitement on their faces.

As soon as Ping Han saw Wang Bo, he immediately came to his senses: the horse didn't get off anymore, and he put on that pair of hands on his waist, nostrils asking the sky, opening his mouth wide, and his whole body trembled. made Wang Bo look at it for a while.

Chen came out of the west in the sun today, shook off the blood-stained armor on his body, smiled and hugged his fists in a proper manner: "Lord! We have returned, and the enemy has fled more than a thousand!"

As soon as Wang Bo saw him, he was angry, and his originally smiling face turned black in an instant. Frowning and glancing, a large group of Xianbei captives walking behind them with their heads bowed, snorted in their noses: "I'll go back to you to settle accounts!" ”

Turned around and ordered: All the Xianbei heads are used to build the Beijing Temple. All the prisoners were organized into coolie battalions and divided into three teams, which were respectively engaged in heavy physical work at the Imperial Slave Pass, the Imperial Hu Pass, and the Logistics Department. If the wounded did not affect their work, they were also put into the coolie camp, and their leaders and small tribal leaders were all left behind, and of course, after the prisoners left, these people were all turned into heads on the pile of "Jingguan".

At the end of the war, after Wang Bo led the crowd back to Xinghan City, he issued two orders one after another:

First, build and rejuvenate the Han Army's martyrs' monument and martyrs' shrine. For people to pay homage and remember.

Second, all the families of the Xinghan Army who died in battle and were disabled were supported by the Xinghan Army for life, and the old, weak, sick, and disabled women and children were not allowed to work forcefully.

Three days later, the post-war summary discussion meeting of the Xinghan Army was held, and all the chiefs and above participated. At the meeting, everyone spoke one after another and had a heated discussion. It is concluded that there are many deficiencies in the Xinghan Army, which are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

The first aspect: insufficient troops. In the battle of guarding the pass, the casualties were basically caused by long-term fighting, excessive fatigue, and decreased reflexes, and when the casualties were serious, they all occurred in the second half of the battle.

The second aspect: poor equipment. The bow battalions, which were the main defensive forces, were often exhausted in successive battles, so that they could not open their bows. If a large number of standard crossbows can be equipped with the standing standard crossbows of the elite army of the Han Dynasty, and arrows can be installed in advance or someone can assist them, the combat time can be greatly extended and the combat effectiveness can be improved.

The third aspect: too few cavalry. Fighting with the nomads, if there is a lack of horses, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Now it is only defending the city pass with danger, and if it encounters a field battle, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Wang Bo added another point: There is no shortage of hot-blooded warriors in the Xinghan Army, but there are very few handsome talents who can lead the overall situation and take charge alone. Therefore, Wang Bo proposed: Each battalion should select those who are flexible in mind and have a certain amount of writing and ink and actual combat experience, and focus on training, and as reserve officers of each commander, they can also set up a "small strategist group" or something, discuss tactics and tactics in peacetime, and check and fill in gaps in wartime.

After the meeting, Wang Bo took out a lot of Yanmen small burns from the brewery for the first time and distributed them to the camps as a reward. and authorized the soldiers and auxiliaries to take turns to rest for five days.

The Xinghan army can be regarded as a big loss of vitality this time. As the main combat force, 122 people were killed or wounded or disabled, accounting for one-tenth of the total. Other combatants, such as the reserve army and the logistics youth, also suffered nearly 200 casualties.

Compared with the Xianbei army that came to attack, it seems that the number is not large, but such a loss is definitely a pain in the bones for the Xinghan army, which has already taken the route of elite soldiers. These people, Wang Boke are all going to be used as officers in the future.

Especially the bow battalion, it is more difficult to select and train than other soldiers, and the early ones are all from the mountain hunters. Wang Bo thought that the archers belonged to long-range firepower, so in the equipment of the armor, he leaned towards other troops, but he did not expect that he suffered a big loss in the battle of guarding the pass, and the casualties reached nearly half of the entire bow and arrow battalion. Fortunately, the hunting team mainly hid in the hiding cave and did not need accurate shooting, so the casualties were not large, and some of them could be supplemented.

The consumption of materials is also quite serious, the arrows accumulated over the months are almost exhausted, the weapons are also a lot of mutilation, and the medical wine used to treat the wounds is not enough, so I have to make do with medicinal wine. Therefore, Wang Bo informed the logistics department that the medical wine would be listed as a strategic reserve material, and it would not be traded with the outside world for the first time, and after the Xinghan army was stored to a certain base, it would be considered for sale to the outside world.

There are also a lot of good sides. The results of this war can be described as brilliant. According to the post-war inventory, a total of more than 4,000 Xianbei heads were captured in this battle, all of which were listed under the pass and used to make the "Jingguan" pile; The captured Xianbei soldiers, totaling nearly 5,000 before and after, were all filled into the coolie battalion for heavy physical work such as reinforcing the wall, digging deep trenches, cutting wood and quarrying, so that the replaced reserve army could devote themselves to training and rapidly increase the number of soldiers of the Xinghan army.
