Chapter 201: A desperate battle

When Tai Shi Ci saw the Hun archers sticking out of the city wall, he did not order the soldiers to attack forcibly, but waved his hand to make the soldiers retreat immediately.

The rain of arrows crossed an arc and landed three steps in front of Tai Shi Ci's war horse. Tai Shi Ci slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand, snorted coldly and waved his hand to order his soldiers to retreat.

Qiang Qu saw the official army department acting like this, and his face was gloomy, "Which general went to behead Tai Shici?" ”

On the right hand, a general bowed down and stood out, "The last general wishes!" As he spoke, he walked down the city gate with a broadsword in hand. The city gate of Guangning County slowly opened, and this one will lead a standard of people out of the city gate, and the big knife in his hand pointed at Tai Shi Ci from afar, "Tai Shi Ci dares to fight with me!" ”

Tai Shi Ci glanced at this person up and down, and just wanted to fight with a halberd, but was preempted by Dian Wei on the side, "Unknown thief general, I will meet you!" ”

Dian Wei held the double iron halberd and rushed straight over without waiting for this person to speak, and the general snorted lightly, "Don't measure yourself!" The big knife in his hand slashed towards Dian Wei.

As soon as the two sides first fought, this general was completely in a situation of being beaten passively, the double iron halberd in Dian Wei's hand waved up tigerly, and the general fought with Dian Wei for only one round, and the long knife in his hand was knocked away, and he didn't have time to react in panic, and his head was cut off by Dian Wei's iron halberd.

Qiangqu, who was watching the battle at the city gate, was shocked, this burly man's martial arts were even better than Tai Shi Ci! Youzhou actually has such a peerless general, which is really a big trouble for his own henchmen.

Thinking of this, Qiang Qu waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to release arrows, wanting to shoot him before Dian Wei could react, and remove a major hidden danger for himself to dominate Youzhou in the future.

The arrows were approaching, Dian Wei was not frightened, and the double iron halberd in his hand was impenetrable, blocking all the arrows, even if he couldn't stop it, he couldn't break through the heavy armor on Dian Wei's body.

Dian Wei held the iron halberd in his hand, and saw a fluctuation in the ranks of the officers and soldiers, and more than a thousand cavalry poured out from the front soldiers, these cavalry were different from the rest of the officers and soldiers, all of them were heavily armoured, and even the war horses under their crotch were covered with a thick layer of armor, and the scimitar in his hand flashed in the cold light under the sun.

With Dian Wei's order, this group of soldiers lightly clamped the horse's belly and launched an attack on the Hun soldiers under the city. The generals have been beheaded by Dian Wei, and although the Hun soldiers are fierce and strong, they are leaderless. What's more, it was a short encounter with the heavy armor soldiers, and the scimitars of the Hun soldiers could not break through the heavy armor at all, and the two sides fought for only a quarter of an hour, and the Hun soldiers had killed and wounded nearly a thousand people. The remnants of the army, led by the leader, fled into the city in a hurry.

Qiang Qu, who watched the battle at the city gate, saw the heavy armored soldiers of Dian Wei's department calmly leave, and his heart was extremely hateful, and the palms that ordered the attack were raised, and his face changed for a while and then slowly put down, his own soldiers and heavy armor soldiers lost the battle, and the city gate was narrow and the Hun army could not open the formation, and the cavalry of the two sides was very likely to be dispersed by the heavy armored soldiers of the official army.

The first battle was won, and the official army did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city, but retreated. Seeing the strange movements of the officers and soldiers, Qiangqu ordered his soldiers to defend the city and not attack easily.

Tai Shi Ci and Murong Fu came to the side, surrounded by many soldiers, Zhao Yi came to the front, and the soldiers behind him immediately erected the word Zhao with a big fight, staring at Guangning County with burning eyes.

"Zhao Yi?!" Qiang Qu saw Zhao Yi's banner eyes flashing, and said in his heart that Zhao Yi, the herd of Youzhou, had already come to the army of Taishi Ci's department, and his own troops did not find any news.

Zhao Yi glanced at Qiangqu with slanted eyes, and did not order his soldiers to attack the county seat, but ordered the soldiers to be divided into four groups, led by Tai Shici, Murong Fu and Dian Wei, and the four official troops surrounded the four city gates of Guangning County.

"The officers and soldiers are only 50,000 soldiers, and they dare to divide the troops?" The strange behavior of the official army made Qiang Qu very surprised, and when he saw the strange faces of several generals behind him, he sighed secretly in his heart, If Mr. does not die, he will definitely be able to solve my doubts.

In Qiangqu's eyes, the official army should concentrate its forces to attack its own county at this time, rather than divide its troops. Looking at the officials and soldiers under the city gate, walking out with wooden sticks about a foot long, Qiang Qu was even more surprised.

The subordinate generals were also very strange, and some people bowed down and stood up, "Leader, the last general is willing to lead the army into battle to find out the situation of the officers and soldiers." ”

Qiang Qu stared at Tai Shici and Dian Wei and others, who were walking slowly across the city gate, and did not agree to the general's request to send troops, "The generals of the official army are brave and strong, and the general has spent some strength in attacking the city. "Qiangqu and Tai Shi Ci have fought many times, and most of his subordinates have been killed by Tai Shi Ci, and today there is another Dian Wei, and the force is much higher than that of Tai Shi Ci. Although his own generals are also brave, if they are compared with these two generals, they are not worth mentioning.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers surrounded the four gates of Guangning County, a smile appeared on the corner of Qiangqu's mouth, and he was very disdainful of the behavior of the officers and soldiers, and the soldiers of his own department were brave and strong, and only one impact would be needed to break through the encirclement of the officers and troops.

Although surrounded by the officers and soldiers, Qiangqu was still full of confidence and ordered his soldiers to pay close attention to the movements of the officers and soldiers

, he walked down the city gate to the palace, saw that the soldiers who collected the grain had not returned, the sword eyebrows frowned slightly, at this time the Hun soldiers were short of food and grass, it can be said that they had eaten the last meal and did not have the next meal, and they urgently needed food and grass to stabilize the morale of the army. At this time, there was no food and grass for a long time, which made Qiangqu's heart hang again.

The soldier who collected the grain and grass ran in with a panicked face, which made Qiangqu's hanging heart almost rise to his throat, and asked tentatively, "How is the situation of grain and grass?" ”

The soldier swallowed his saliva, "Chief, he led the soldiers to search for grain and grass in various farmhouses in Guangning County, but found that no matter the official warehouses and private houses in Guangning County, not only were they empty, but there was no food and everything that could be eaten. ”

This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Qiang Qu's expression, whose face was indifferent, became extremely ugly, his body shook twice, and he slowly knelt down and sat down, "What?!" Qiangqu hoped that he had heard it wrong, and that he led his soldiers to capture the county seat of Guangning in order to plunder the supplies of Guangning County. If there is no food, how to maintain the 50,000 troops under his own department, if it is a few days and a long time, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos.

Seeing Qiangqu's expression, the soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and said cautiously, "Chief, this piece of cloth was found in the granary of Guangning County. ”

Qiang Qu grabbed the cloth in his hand, unfolded it, glanced at it, and threw the cloth on the ground hatefully. Standing up and walking back and forth in the hall, his eyes flashed and he asked the soldiers who were still kneeling in the hall, "How many people know about this?" ”

The soldier bowed down and said, "The five thousand soldiers who went to search for grain and grass with their humble duties already know about it. ”

Qiang Qu's brows gradually wrinkled into Sichuan characters, there were five thousand soldiers who knew about this, and it was impossible to block the news, "Zhao Yi, you are acting too vicious!" Qiang Qu said hatefully, and slammed the bronze lord on the table to the ground.

"Pass my order and let the generals come to the palace to discuss matters!" Qiangqu issued an order, and since he couldn't hide it at this time, it was better to call the generals to the military tent to discuss how to deal with this matter.

This news spread quickly in the Xiongnu department, and the soldiers were panicked, their own food and grass were insufficient, and there were officers and soldiers on the periphery to surround them.

This must be Zhao Yi's vicious strategy, wanting to starve his soldiers to death, it is really a drain.

The faces of the Hun generals who entered the hall were not good-looking, they entered Guangning County to recuperate, how did they know that they would become turtles in the urn.

Qiang Qu took in the faces of these generals, and said the current situation in Guangning County: "At this time, Zhao Yiguan's army is besieging the city, and there is no grain and grass in the city, how do you think our soldiers should deal with it?" ”

These generals glanced at each other, and the generals who agreed to break out accounted for most of the "leaders, at this moment, our army is short of food and grass, if there is a long-term stalemate with the officers and soldiers, if our soldiers are hungry and weak in time, the officers and troops of Youzhou will win without a fight." Zhao Yi's strategy is very vicious, if it is a soldier with the same strength as the official army of the imperial court, in the face of the siege of the imperial army, it can be said that he will definitely die, but the strength of our soldiers far exceeds that of the official army. As long as the soldiers of our department fight desperately and tear a few gaps in the encirclement of the officers and troops, they will definitely be able to break out of the heavy encirclement of the officers and troops. ”

The rest of the generals agreed to fight to the death with the official army, and they had to admire the subtlety of Zhao Yi's strategy, Zhao Yi could be said to have counted everything, but it was a little less, that is, the strength of the official army.

Although the Hun soldiers were already a little tired after such a long time of rushing and killing, their combat strength did not suffer much loss, and they still had the strength to fight with Zhao Yi's officers and troops. As long as they break through the defense line of the official army, it will be safe for the Qiangqu department to retreat west into the Xianbei tribe, and the grain and grass will also be guaranteed.

These generals had the same idea as Qiangqu, and Qiangqu also agreed to fight to the death, and the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for him.

Qiang Qu put the map of Quang Ninh that he had just drawn on the table and unfolded it, pointing to the distribution of officers and troops marked on the map, "This is the map of the distribution of officers and troops that I just drawn. "Zhao Yi and Tai Shici and other generals will guard one door respectively, Qiang Qu will tell the situation of each guard and the army in detail, Dian Wei has heavy armor soldiers in his hands, and Dian Wei has excellent martial arts, no one in his own department can compete with him, even if he can break out from Dian Wei's department, his own department will lose many soldiers.

Qiangqu and Tai Shi Ci fought many times, and had a deep feeling for Tai Shi Ci's combat power, and after many days of fighting, the Hun soldiers already had a fear of Tai Shi Ci, and they lost their morale before they attacked, which was quite unfavorable to the battle.

After some careful consideration, Qiangqu and the others set the target of the attack at the south gate, which Zhao Yi personally guarded. First, because Zhao Yi did not have unparalleled generals such as Tai Shici and Dian Wei around him, and secondly, the officers and soldiers at the South Gate guarded by Zhao Yi were the weakest, with only 10,000 soldiers guarding them.

"The soldiers of the herald headquarters are assembled at the south gate!" Qiang Qu stared gloomily at the south.

The Hun soldiers acted quickly in less than a quarter of an hour, gathered under the south gate city, the alleys and streets were full of Hun soldiers, even if they were as strong as the Hun soldiers in the face of such a predicament, they were also whispering below, which was nothing more than saying that they had no food and grass in their department, how to deal with it in the future?
