Chapter 173: Blocking the Channel
Zhang Ming just wanted to hold them back, not really want to fight them.
When they stopped, Zhang Ming did not continue the pursuit, but stopped in place.
On Gongsun Zhan's side, he killed a lot, rescued Gongsun Yue and others, and then immediately retreated.
After Gongsun Chan withdrew, Zhang Ming also went back.
In this battle, part of his troops were consumed.
Zhang Ming and the others retreated for more than 20 miles, and then camped to rest.
"Everything you do to eat, it's all played by the enemy."
"Just such a few people, they can be rushed out of the encirclement."
"A bunch of trash."
Qiu Liju scolded, this small city blocked them for a few days, and even consumed thousands of their troops.
And the fact that the enemy was able to escape from their encirclement made him very angry.
In fact, Gongsun Yue and the others rushed out, and only a few hundred people went back in the end.
They had more than 4,000 troops, held out for several days, and in the end only a few hundred people made it back alive.
This battle was also quite tragic.
The city was ruined, and the people inside had long been evacuated by Gongsun Zhan.
And Brother Chen, your people have long been forcibly relocated by Gongsun Zhan.
Qiu Liju was furious, and there were many troubles going south this time.
lost his temper, and Qiu Liju had no choice but to order a rest.
He knew that he couldn't get back to the field, the other party was prepared, and he couldn't win it in a short time.
And Zhang Ming did not fight them head-on.
At night, no one came to harass them, but Wuhuan didn't dare to relax a little, and they were all careful to defend.
Gongsun Chan went back and counted it.
"Big brother, I heard that Zhang Ming made a lot of efforts this time, and we were able to kill it smoothly, which has a lot to do with him."
Gongsun Zhan nodded and said: "The strength of this Wuhuan is beyond our original expectations, if it weren't for Zhang Ming, I'm afraid we would have to lose a lot of soldiers and horses to be able to kill it." ”
Gongsun Chan was overconfident before, but he didn't expect that they would be so difficult to fight with Wu Huan.
Therefore, as a result, Wuhuan's strength was too strong, and Gongsun Yue almost couldn't get out.
Gongsun Yue fell silent, and Gongsun Chan said: "Wu Huan's strength is too strong, and it is also a big threat to Liaodong, Zhang Ming wants to get rid of them, so he naturally has to work hard." ”
Gongsun Yue's heart is a little better, he has always regarded Zhang Ming as an enemy.
The grassland and the Han are separated by mountains and the Great Wall.
Here, the inside and outside are different worlds.
After this pass, there is a vast grassland.
The grassland, for the time being, is still the world of Wuhuan, Xianbei and Xiongnu.
Zhang Ming and Gongsun Chan are both waiting for an opportunity.
If the next day is planned well, it will be a big fight.
The sky is getting brighter.
Zhang Ming left the wounded soldiers and captured war horses behind, and he set off with more than 6,000 troops.
After advancing for about ten miles, Zhang Ming stopped and waited.
Further on, there were Wuhuan scouts patrolling and their vigilant troops.
Zhang Ming didn't plan to push them too much now.
And Zhang Ming was waiting at this time, waiting for the signal to attack.
Early in the morning, Qiu Liju ordered the camp to be pulled out, and he packed up his things and prepared to go back.
This time, he came out and looted, and it started very smoothly, but since Zhang Chun was destroyed, he has not been smooth.
Now, Qiu Liju just wants to go back as soon as possible and regain strength, and this robbery has given him sweetness.
The big man is too weak, if it weren't for Zhang Ming and Gongsun Zhan, this big man would seem to be in a no-man's land.
Chuliju began to return with the army.
Now, his army is about 40,000, and more than 10,000 people have been lost here.
This made Qiu Liju very annoyed.
In front of the pass, the Wuhuan people here are more familiar, and they often enter the pass from here to plunder.
It's not easy to ambush ahead, even if it's an ambush, it doesn't matter, with the power of their army, they can break through everything.
Qiu Liju led people through, and sure enough, there was no hindrance.
The line lined up in a long line and began to pass, and after here, there was a grassland ahead.
On one side of the pass is a slope rather than a cliff, so it's hard to ambush and block it here.
However, Gongsun Chan still has a way.
He had made a lot of logs and rocks with a relatively round shape, and had hidden them all.
At this time, a large number of people moved over.
After most of the Wuhuan army passed, the people arranged by Gongsun Chan were also ready.
"Put."
A large pile of prepared things poured down at once.
Logs and stones rolled down, and a lot of stuff poured down.
Suddenly, rolling logs and stones blocked the passage.
However, the channel is only narrowing, not completely blocked.
"Quick, quick, quick."
On the slope, the people arranged by Gongsun Chan kept urging his subordinates to push down the rolling logs and stones.
Rolling wood and stones rushed down the gentle slope.
The Wuhuan army temporarily ceased operations.
Chuliju returned to command the army.
"Rush up and kill them all."
The slope of the gentle slope is not high, and it is not difficult, so the army of Wuhuan can rush up.
On the other side, the flag was raised on the high ground, and Gongsun Chan knew that the operation had begun.
"Kill."
Gongsun Zhan personally led a large army to kill him.
And the pillar, with one hundred and fifty special forces, plus three hundred and fifty ordinary soldiers, was hidden in the distance on the high ground.
Seeing that the enemy began to move, the pillar gave the order to rush over.
When the pillar reached the battlefield, the crossbow bolt dealt a heavy blow to the rushing Wuhuan.
"Throw firecrackers."
The soldier came up with a lot of firecrackers, lit a few strings directly, and threw them down.
The Wuhuan soldiers who rushed up were beaten down again.
"Block the channel."
The best way to block the passage is to use firecrackers and fireworks, and the war horses are afraid of this.
One group of soldiers, under the cover of other soldiers, threw firecrackers along the road and rushed over.
Rushing to the front, the soldiers threw a large number of firecrackers, only a few of these firecrackers were ignited, and most of them were left there, not yet lit.
Although it was not ignited, it was also a great deterrent.
And on the high ground, there are soldiers who have already set up fireworks.
"Put."
At the sound of an order, several fireworks were ignited, and this time the fireworks exploded to both sides, so that the cavalry on both sides could not pass.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers, Qiu Liju felt a pain in his eggs.
This chapter has popped up again.
Knowing the threat, he ordered more troops to rush to the high ground.
But how can the high ground be so easy to fight down?
Zhang Ming's bows and crossbows were powerful, and they also threw a lot of firecrackers.
"Throw smoke bombs."
Several smoke bombs were thrown down, and the sudden smoke made Wuhuan dare not move forward.
At the same time, they threw a lot of smoke bombs at the passage of the pass.
This smoke bomb, if it doesn't hit a strong wind, can last for a while.
"Hold on, you keep throwing the rocks."
At this point, the pillars dominated the place and began to give orders.
With firecrackers and smoke bombs, the passage was completely blocked.
When the fireworks began to explode, Zhang Ming knew that he could attack.
"Annihilate the enemy army."
The goal this time is to annihilate all the remaining enemies.
Gongsun Chan had already taken the first step to kill.
