Chapter 240: Tripping Horses



Heavily armored soldiers? When Murong Fu heard this, he hurriedly walked to the front camp, and sure enough, he saw a hundred heavily armored Hun soldiers attacking the official army's shield camp.

In the battle of Guangzong that day, Zhao Yi relied on the heavy armor soldiers to defeat Zhang Jiao's 10,000 personal guards in one fell swoop, and Zhao Yi also became famous because of that battle, and this heavy armor soldier was simply the nemesis of the shield formation.

What made Murong Fu slightly relieved was that there was no such a fierce general as Dian Wei in the Xiongnu department, although the spears and bows and arrows in the hands of the officials and soldiers could not break through the armor on the Hun soldiers, but the Hun soldiers who rushed over did not break through the official and military barriers in one fell swoop.

Qiang Qu is good at using soldiers, and concentrates this heavily armored soldier on one point, causing the shield camp to sway a little. If there is a little loophole in the official camp, the Hun cavalry closely behind the heavily armored soldiers will drive in from that breakthrough point, and their own soldiers will be powerless to resist.

Faced with such a situation, Murong Fu has always forced himself to be calm, and only by being calm can he come up with a way to deal with things. Before Murong Fu instructed his subordinates to see the Xiongnu attacking the city, he had already sent soldiers to inform Zhao Yi at the south gate and Dian Wei at the north gate.

Although there are elite soldiers in the official army, but this time and again, it will take a quarter of an hour, and now the official and military shield camp is in danger of collapsing at any time, as the so-called far water can't save the near fire.

Murong Fu could only rely on himself to overcome the predicament.

Qiang Qu, who was watching the battle at the city gate, saw that the camp of the official army was shaking, and the heavy armored soldiers of his own department had not been damaged in the slightest, which made Qiang Qu very happy in his heart, and he was quite proud of his plan, and at the same time sighed in his heart, if he had come up with this method, his people would have returned to the tribe long ago.

The officers and soldiers resisted more and more difficult, and the arrows and spears in their hands could not pierce the thick armor, so they could only hold shields in their hands and struggle to support them.

The spear head that pierced the shield with the impact of the war horse, the impact produced was not more than hundreds of catties, if it were not for the shield soldiers behind many officers and soldiers to push it, just afraid of this collision, the shield soldiers would be knocked away.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that my department will be difficult to resist." Murong Fu's subordinates said worriedly. If Nanlou escaped from his side, all the hard work of the Youzhou officials and soldiers in the past 20 days would be in vain, not to mention, and the soldiers of the department would suffer heavy casualties.

Murong Fu's face was as usual, and he didn't show any panic, but the hands that were holding the helmet were bruised. Zhao Yi handed over the defense of the East Gate to him Murong Fu, that was how much trust he had, if Qiangqu escaped from the East Gate, how could Murong Fu be worthy of Zhao Yi, and how could he be worthy of the more than 10,000 dead officers and soldiers.

"Order the shield soldiers in front to open their mouths and let the hundred or so heavily armored soldiers in." Murong Fu groped for the stubble on his chin and gave an order.

"What? Let go of the opening? "This general's order to Murong Fu is a bit strange, doesn't this make it easier for the Qiangqu Department to break through the defense line?

"Go and give the order, I'll take care of what happens." Now that time is pressing, Murong Fu has no time to explain to this general.

When the general heard Murong Fu's words, he didn't hesitate any longer and immediately went down to convey the order.

The formation of the officers and soldiers changed suddenly, and the shield soldiers shook for a while, and the soldiers in heavy armor rushed into the camp of the officers and soldiers.

Seeing the generals and soldiers watching the battle at the city gate here, their faces were full of joy, as long as the heavily armored soldiers could break through the shield formation of the officers and soldiers, their own troops would have the hope of escaping.

Qiang Qu stroked his long beard, his face was full of doubt, and when he saw the heavily armored soldiers entering the official and military camp, instead of being relieved, he was a little nervous, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. The heavily armored soldiers of his own unit did not attack and kill them by themselves, but it seemed that the officers and soldiers deliberately put them in.

The heavily armored soldiers successfully entered the official camp, but the cavalry that followed the heavy armored soldiers and rushed to kill was once again blocked out by the official camp, and the spears in the hands of the officers and soldiers once again played a role, picking off the soldiers one by one.

The first soldier rushed a few steps in the official army camp, only to find that the cavalry behind him did not follow, turned the horse's head to reinforce, and when he turned around, he saw that his rear was already full of officers and soldiers with spears in their hands.

This 100-strong heavy armored soldier completely became a lone army, and under the leadership of the general, he turned his horse and rushed towards the official army.

The officers and soldiers did not fight hard with the heavily armored soldiers, and scattered the grass they brought everywhere. This war horse, which had been hungry for three days, did not pay attention to the feelings of the owner on horseback after seeing the grass, and ran towards the grass with four hooves.

These more than 100 soldiers were scattered everywhere by the officers and soldiers in an instant.

Then the sound of the whip rope breaking in the air sounded, and the war horse stepped on the rope, and then turned over and fell to the ground, and the heavily armored soldiers on the horseback fell heavily to the ground and were thrown to pieces. Before he could recover from the pain, he was pressed to the ground by the surrounding officers and soldiers. I saw the flash of the knife in front of me, and then I lost consciousness in my neck pain.

These 100 elite heavy armor soldiers were killed by the officers and soldiers of the East Gate Department in a very short time, and the Hun soldiers who fought fiercely with the officials and troops suffered heavy losses.

In the words of the Hun soldiers, it was the officers and soldiers who were too despicable to throw the grass out of the shield, and the hungry war horses only cared about eating the grass, and had no heart to follow the master to kill. Eighty percent of the Hun soldiers fell under the bows and arrows of the official army because of this reason.

The mood of the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department who watched the battle on the city wall was up and down, and they had just seen the hope of breaking through the encirclement, but they were taken away again.

Qiang Qu looked at the heavy armored soldiers in the official camp, his eyes flashed, especially when he saw that the official army reinforcements from the north and south city gates had come outside the city, and the shaking torches were connected together, illuminating the scene in a hundred feet, Qiang Qu looked up at the starry sky and sighed, I am also dead!

Now that the elite of the heavy armor is dead and the official reinforcements have arrived, if they continue to rush and kill, it is very likely that all their soldiers will die here. Qiangqu had no choice but to give the order to withdraw the army again.

In less than an hour after the attack of Qiangqu's headquarters, the soldiers of the headquarters suffered casualties of 2,000 men and horses, including 100 heavily armored soldiers, which made Qiangqu feel distressed.

"I didn't expect Murong Fu to be so powerful, we underestimated the enemy." Qiangqu sighed, for Qiangqu there are no dead and wounded 2,000 soldiers, in front of 70,000 officers and soldiers, whether there are 2,000 soldiers has no impact on the situation of Qiangqu, what Qiangqu cares about is the 100 heavily armored soldiers.

The elite soldiers who had worked hard and the strength of the poor tribe were so easily killed by the officials and soldiers. The officers and soldiers killed not only these 100 soldiers, but also the hope of survival of the Qiangqu department.

Even if the officers and soldiers could give Qiangqu another three days to cast the battle armor, it would be even more difficult to find the soldiers from those war horses after three days.

The Qiangqu headquarters collapsed at the first touch, which made the officers and soldiers cheer, and Tai Shici, Murong Fu and others asked Zhao Yi to give the order to attack the county seat of Guangning.

"Now that the morale of the Xiongnu tribes has been greatly damaged, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is far less than before, it is a good time for our troops to attack and kill." Tai Shi Ci told the current situation of the Qiangqu department.

In the view of Tai Shici and others, now the Qiangqu tribe has been defeated again and again, and the combat power of the soldiers has been greatly weakened, on the other hand, after these successive battles, the morale of the officers and soldiers is high, and the awe of the Hun soldiers in their hearts has disappeared, which is a good opportunity to attack the city.

Unlike his subordinates, Zhao Yi, who saw the Hun soldiers retreating to the city, had a calm expression, and did not agree to capture the county seat of Guangning because of this victory, looking at the shaking torches on the gate of Guangning: "The time has not yet come." ”

"The time has not yet come?" These four words are like a basin of cold water, extinguishing these soaring fighting spirits. Tai Shici and the others felt that Zhao Yi was a little too cautious, and now the besieging officers and troops had an eighty percent chance of winning. But Zhao Yi, who is the pastor of Youzhou, said the order, and Tai Shici and the others did not dare to object.

Batu is an anxious person, and he is not under the jurisdiction of Zhao Yi, when he heard Zhao Yi's words, he asked directly: "When do you say that is the best time?" "Waiting for this opportunity, Batu has been waiting for a long time.

"The reason why I am not attacking the city now is not because I am afraid of Qiangqu, but because the Hun soldiers still have combat power." Zhao Yi explained, "Our army's victory in the siege of the city is a sure victory, but in the face of the Hun soldiers who fought to the death, even if our army captures the county town of Guangning, our soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties." "The reason why the Hun soldiers retreated again and again, but because of the psychology of people, the first battle was defeated by the official army and dampened their spirit, and then several defeats were because of their offensive edge, most of them were blocked by the shield in front, and the second is because they still have a way to retreat, so if they encounter the stubborn resistance of the official army, they will collapse at the touch of a button.

But this kind of luck mentality will dissipate with the siege of the official army. Now the Xiongnu soldiers rely on the county town of Guangning, and the official army attacking the county seat of Guangning is like attacking the Xiongnu tribe where they live. The Hun soldiers, who had no way to retreat, could only fight hard to survive from the swords of the official army.

In addition to the Jizhou officials and Wuhuan soldiers, there are now only more than 40,000 people left in the Youzhou headquarters. The more than 20,000 outlaws in the city can be equivalent to tens of thousands of troops if they are used properly, and if Youzhou loses some more men and horses, it will be dangerous.

At this moment, there are the cavalry of the Nanlou tribe and the official army of Jizhou, and Youzhou is impregnable, but this is an external force after all, and it is going to leave after all, how can Zhao Yi, who is greatly injured, compete with the Yi tribes outside the country.

With Zhao Yi's current reputation, it is not difficult to raise his arms and call for tens of thousands of troops, but Zhao Yi also wants to use veterans, these veterans who have experienced life and death experience will be the mainstay of Youzhou in the future.

This is an important reason why Zhao Yi did not attack Guangning County for a long time, and the battle of defense is of great benefit to Zhao Yi. The narrow city gate did not allow the Xiongnu soldiers to enter and exit on a large scale, and the officials and soldiers could take advantage of the numerical advantage to kill all the Xiongnu soldiers who left the city.

In this way, a small victory is a big victory, and when the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department in Guangning County are seriously damaged, it will be the day of Zhao Yi's attack.

Now that there is no grain and grass in Guangning County, the ability of the war horse to rush and kill has been greatly weakened, and Qiangqu will definitely take advantage of the fact that the war horse still has the ability to rush and kill to launch an attack on Zhao Yi's official army again.

This is exactly what Zhao Yi meant, he just wants to eat the Qiangqu tribe little by little.

In the government office of Guangning County, after the Xiongnu general told the casualties this time, he sighed: "If the leader continues like this, our tribe will be in danger." Hurry up and figure it out. ”
