Zhao Yi's commanding arms were raised, and he saw the desperate look on the faces of the Hun soldiers.

"Slow down!" In the nick of time, Batu crossed the horse and came to Zhao Yi.

Many soldiers looked at Batu very incomprehensibly, these three thousand Hun soldiers have now been surrounded by our army, and it only takes a rain of guns to make these people die without a place to be buried, why should Batu stop it?

Zhao Yi turned his head to look at the group of Wuhuan soldiers behind Batu, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart turned, and he had already guessed Batu's thoughts.

Batu is taking a fancy to these more than 3,000 war horses, Zhao Yi's gun rain is powerful, only a round of gun rain is needed, few of these Hun soldiers will stand, but while stabbing the Hun soldiers, the war horses under the crotch of the Hun soldiers will definitely be damaged, which Batu does not want to see.

Batu looked at the rope array in front of him that was like a net of heaven and earth, and glanced at Zhao Yi with some fear and swallowed his spit, in this case, not to mention the war horses of the Huns who had been hungry for several days, even if it was a sturdy horse under his crotch, it was impossible to break through this net. Xin said that it was fortunate that Zhao Yi did not use this method when dealing with the Wuhuan cavalry that day, otherwise his soldiers would suffer great casualties.

"You dare to fight with my Wuhuan cavalry!" Batu opened his mouth to invite battle.

The general of the Xiongnu army is also a bloody man, trapped in the Youzhou camp, he already knew that he had no chance of survival, he thought that Zhao Yi would let the soldiers throw spears, so that he would die without a place to be buried, but he did not expect Batu to take the initiative to provoke.

Looking at the black and oppressive cavalry behind Batu, the general's eyes flashed, this cavalry was numerous, there were 10,000 people. His own horses were not strong enough, and when he fought against such a strong and outnumbered Wuhuan cavalry, the general had no chance of winning at all. But he readily agreed to Batu's provocation.

The Hun general looked around at the surrounding Youzhou soldiers: "Okay, happy, if we can die on the way to charge, we can be regarded as a worthy death." Please ask the general to order the officers and soldiers to remove this obstacle. "Since you have no hope of survival, it is better to rush and kill once, kill one is enough to kill two, and earn one.

Zhao Yi waved his hand to let the officers and soldiers in front of him open an opening for the Hun soldiers, but he was not worried that the Hun soldiers would take the opportunity to escape. Zhao Yi could see from the dejected demeanor of the war horses under their crotch that even if they let this group of cavalry leave, they would not be able to run far with the strength of the war horses.

The Hun soldiers and the Batu cavalry all walked out of the official camp, and the two soldiers had just stood, and the Hun general led the soldiers to launch an attack with a wave of the scimitar in his hand.

Seeing the Hun soldiers who were shouting frantically and rushing towards him, Batu had a smile on his face and instructed his soldiers: "Try not to hurt the horses they sit on when fighting." ”

For this battle without suspense, Zhao Yi shook his head and sighed, shook his head and walked into the camp, because there was no suspense in the battle, not to mention that the strength of the Hun soldiers was greatly damaged now, even if they were in their heyday, they were not three times their opponents of the Wuhuan soldiers.

The shouts of killing rang in my ears for half an hour, and I regained my calm again. After half an hour later, Batu, who was covered in blood, walked into the barracks with a depressed face: "I originally thought that the Hun soldiers would be vulnerable and let our soldiers be killed, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with, although our army annihilated 3,000 of them with the advantage of numbers and horses, our tribe also killed more than 1,000 soldiers and wounded nearly 1,000 people. "Originally, Batu thought that he had an advantage in numbers, and the quality of his horses was much better than that of the enemy, so he could not lose many men. But this result was not what Batu expected.

Zhao Yi was not surprised by this: "It is normal to have such casualties, knowing that the Hun soldiers who are certain to die, the attack must be very fierce, and there is no defensive move at all to attack and kill, but to fight to the death, and it is normal for our soldiers to have too many casualties." ”

"Bo is right, these Hun soldiers are extremely strong, and they will inflict heavy losses on our soldiers before they die." Batu nodded approvingly.

Although Batu lost a lot of soldiers, he also got 3,000 horses, and since the last time he fought with Subu, Batu coveted the horses of the Hun soldiers. With these 3,000 war horses, Batu is confident that within five years, the strength of the Nanlou tribe will be greatly improved.

"That's why I didn't choose to attack the county." The situation in Batu's department has shown how powerful a desperate battle can be.

Moreover, the county seat is not as good as the wilderness, and there are many houses in the county, which greatly limits the mobility of war horses. It is easy to attack the county seat, but if you want to occupy the county seat, Zhao Yi's officers and troops will pay a great price for every step.

"The third brother fought against the Hun soldiers, what do you think of their combat power?" Zhao Yi asked Batu.

Batu groped the stubble on his chin: "The strength of the war horses of the Huns declined rapidly, and when they rushed to kill, dozens of war horses fainted and fell to the ground, and it seemed that they had not eaten forage for at least two days. However, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers cannot be ignored. ”

Zhao Yi nodded, Qiangqu lost nearly 5,000 soldiers this time, and there were at most 20,000 remnants in the city, and now it was time to attack the city.

"If the Bethes are attacking the city, they must be quick. Wait a few more days, I'm afraid that the 20,000 war horses in the city will all starve to death. "Batu is afraid that Zhao Yi will drag on for too long and make the war horses in the city starve to death, they are all first-class good war horses, if they starve to death, it will be a pity.

"Third brother, don't worry, I will definitely let you get the war horse in the city." Zhao Yi had a confident smile on his face, raised his eyes to look at the towering city wall of Guangning County, he exhaled deeply, the siege of nearly a month was finally coming to an end.

Qiangqu woke up at night, learned from the mouth of the general that his department had lost nearly 5,000 men and horses, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, more than 20 days ago, he entered Youzhou with 50,000 soldiers in high spirits, and in less than a month, the soldiers were killed and wounded nearly two-thirds.

Hearing the news, Qiangqu seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and his mind was confused, and he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to guard the city gate to prevent the official army from attacking the city.

Now that the strength of the Qiangqu tribe has been greatly damaged, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers left in the department, so naturally they have no confidence in breaking through the encirclement of the officials and soldiers. Now the Qiangqu tribe can only survive in Guangning County, pinning all their hopes on the outside of Xubu, hoping that the outside of Xubu can think of a way to save themselves.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Bu, who had been traveling day and night, finally returned to the Xiongnu camp on the border of Youzhou, and the general stationed in the camp asked Xu Bu about the rescue troops.

Su Bu sighed and told the general about the situation he had encountered, and now there was no external reinforcements, so he could only rely on them to rescue the Qiangqu.

"What have been the changes in the officers and troops in the past few days?" Subu sat on the soft couch with his aching head.

"Recently, the official army has become more and more strict in guarding the county seat of Quang Ninh, and our department has sent several groups of soldiers to try to get in touch with the leaders in the city, but they have all failed." The general sighed and told the situation in Guangning County, and the official army surrounded the city of Guangning County like an iron bucket, and people could not pass through it at all, "However, we have not relaxed our investigation of the situation on the periphery of Guangning, and yesterday the leader launched two attacks on the official army, both of which ended in failure, and the leaders of these two attacks lost 5,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"What?!" The bronze jue that Xu Bu had held firmly in his hand just now fell to the ground in an instant, and after several successive impacts, the casualties of the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department had already been more than half.

"Young leader, according to the report of the horses, when our cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry rushed to kill, the combat effectiveness was greatly weakened, and the last general guessed whether the food and grass in the city were already insufficient." The general spoke his conjectures.

The last time Su Bu came into contact with Qiangqu, he already knew from the general that the soldiers in the city were now slaughtering war horses to satisfy their hunger. The decline in the soldier's combat strength is most likely caused by the war horse, according to the situation that the soldier said, now the county town of Guangning is afraid that it is already precarious.

There are war horses used as food, and the Qiangqu can still support it for a while, and what Xu Bu is afraid of now is that Zhao Yi will take advantage of the heavy casualties of the soldiers of the Qiangqu tribe to launch an attack.

"If our department is from the outside, will it have a chance of winning?"

The general looked at the concerned look on Xu Bu's face, although he was reluctant to inform Xu Bu of this matter, but he had to say: "I'm afraid that we can't do anything, yesterday evening, 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry has arrived outside the county town of Guangning, and now there are 20,000 Wuhuan soldiers walking around the official army camp." ”

"Twenty thousand Wuhuan soldiers?" Hearing this, Su Bu's face suddenly turned pale, and his heart said that the sky will die too! The Wuhuan cavalry is amazingly powerful, and it is not much different from the soldiers of his own tribe. 10,000 soldiers can't cope with it themselves, let alone 20,000 Wuhuan soldiers.

The strategy of internal and external attacks has been fundamentally denied by Xu Bu, and the surrounding Yi tribes are intimidated by the official and military formations, and they dare not send troops to attack Youzhou. This made Su Bu a little annoyed, but also quite helpless.

"Pass the order, pay close attention to the movements in Guangning County, and report back immediately if there is any change." Now in his heart, he only hopes that the strategic plan of the military adviser will work.

After waiting for four days, Zhao Yi's official army still did not change, "The official army wants to trap my father to death." Xu Bu hatefully hammered the wooden table, he wanted to see the right time to attack when the official army attacked the city, he did not seek to break through the official army and the Qiangqu round in the city, only to be able to kill Zhao Yi in one fell swoop.

But according to the development of the current situation, I am afraid that this strategy will not be used, and there is not the slightest news from Luoyang, all of which makes Qiangqu anxious.

"Young leader, in two days, I'm afraid that if we don't have the official army to attack the city, our war horses will also be starved to death." The general secretly said in his heart that Zhao Yi was vicious and used such a strategy.

"We can't wait any longer, we're going to buy some time for our father." Su Bu stood up and unfolded the map of Youzhou. "Now nearly ninety percent of the officials and troops in Youzhou are in Guangning County, and there must be emptiness inside. If I lead the army to attack and make Zhao Yi's army come back to help, can I delay the attack of Zhao Yi's army? ”

This is the siege of Wei to save Zhao within thirty-six plans. "Now that the victory of the official army is in sight, I am afraid that we will not take into account whether the county town has fallen or not, if we capture the capital of Youzhou, it will definitely cause a sensation." It seems that the general has only one chance for them, and they must attack the state capital of Youzhou.

But Subu shook his head: "I already have a direction to attack. As he spoke, he put his finger on Zhuojun!
