Chapter 247: Prepared
Staring at the Hun cavalry gradually approaching in the distance, Zhao Yi's official army camp was arranged in an orderly manner. The Qiangqu watching from the city gate, seeing the organized actions of the officers and soldiers, a heart kept falling, and from here the Qiangqu knew that it was hopeless for his department to break through. Not only because of Zhao Yi's resourcefulness, but also because of the cohesion and morale of the officers and soldiers, Qiang Qu was terrified.
Rushing to a distance of less than three miles from Zhao Yi's headquarters, Xu Bu saw that the formation of the official army had changed abruptly, and the Wuhuan soldiers led by Lou Man were rushing towards him diagonally.
"Young leader, it seems that the officers and soldiers have already prepared!" When his subordinates saw the officers and soldiers, this was a reminder to Su Bu, especially the shield soldiers outside, he was too familiar with them. He was the general who ran out of Guangning County to contact Xu Bu in front, and he was naturally very aware of the lethality of the official and military formations.
This was expected by Xu Bu, his unsuccessful attack must have attracted the attention of the officials and soldiers, and according to Zhao Yi's cautious character, it was reasonable to be prepared.
But Su Bu now has no choice, the Hun soldiers in Guangning County are in danger, and he really can't afford to delay. And Xu Bu also regretted it in his heart, regretting killing those officials and heralds. If that hadn't happened, their tribe might have been safe by now. He didn't need to lead his troops to kill at all.
"We don't have a choice now, we have to rush past to have a chance." There was a determined look in Subu's eyes.
Fortunately, Xu Bu and they are now in the wilderness, and they don't want to be besieged in the Qiang Canal in Guangning County, he can swim outside to attack it, and when he is only a hundred zhang away from the official army, Su Bu waved his big hand, and thousands of black feather arrows were stimulated, and he heard a scream from the official camp, but the feather arrows that fell on the shield were bounced away.
The echelon allocation of the official army archers was stimulated in batches, and there were also many Hun soldiers who fell under the bows and arrows of the official army, and the cavalry of the Lou Man Department followed closely behind Xu Bu to ignite the flames of war, and he led the Wuhuan soldiers to insert obliquely into the Xu Bu cavalry. The soldiers of the two divisions are all a nation on horseback, and the cavalry and archery are the top, and the battle was very fierce at the beginning of the first year, and tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides were fighting together, and the officers and soldiers watching the battle next to them could not intervene at all, and could only watch nervously from the side.
Dian Wei, the heavily armored Ximen guard, stepped out of his horse, holding a double iron halberd and led thousands of heavily armored soldiers to rush into the two cavalry that were fighting.
These thousands of heavily armored soldiers rushed straight into it like a tiger into a flock of sheep, and wantonly rushed and killed in these two groups of men and horses, and the Hun soldiers immediately suffered heavy losses when they fought with one of them. The flexibility and mobility of the heavy armor soldiers were not as good as the Hun soldiers, but when it came to melee, the heavy armor soldiers had an advantage that the cavalry could not match.
In Guangning County, the men and horses of the Qiangqu Division saw that the heavily armored soldiers had joined the battle, and waved their hands and ordered the soldiers of the Qiangqu Division to immediately open the city and kill the enemy.
Without the support of war horses, the Hun soldiers rushed out of the city gate, and hundreds of people fell under the feathered arrows of the official army.
The Hun soldiers' lifeless attack, so that the West Gate seems to have become a meat grinder, the official camp with tacit understanding, the spear in the hand compared to the Hun soldiers in the hands of the scimitar and spear is not a little longer, the Hun weapons in the hands of the officials and soldiers are still three feet away, the weapons of the official army have pierced their bodies, which is an inch long and an inch strong.
Although the Qiangqu soldiers were brave and fearless, it was a pity that they were not facing flesh-and-blood officers and soldiers, but cold weapons, no matter how strong the flesh and blood were, they could not be compared with weapons.
The few remaining Hun soldiers fought with the official army at the beginning of the year, and they immediately fell behind, and before they could touch the body of the official army, they had already been pierced into hedgehogs by the spears in the hands of the official army.
Seeing this situation, the Xiongnu general at the city gate persuaded Qiangqu: "The leader can't go on like this, if he attacks the official army again, I'm afraid that all the soldiers of our army will die here." ”
Qiang Qu looked at the Hun cavalry of the Xubu Division, who were fighting with the official cavalry, and sighed secretly, it was not that he didn't care about the lives of the soldiers in the city. If he didn't attack the official army, then under the encirclement of tens of thousands of official troops, Su Bu's troops would have no chance to escape at all.
The war horse lost its ability to fight, and Qiangqu knew that his troops had no hope of survival, and the 50,000 Hun soldiers he brought out would all be sprinkled on this land. But the outside of Xu Bu is different, he also shoulders the responsibility of revitalizing the Xiongnu tribe, if he also dies here, the Xiongnu tribe will be leaderless, and then it will either fall apart, or it will be absorbed by the surrounding forces, both of which are what Qiangqu does not want to see. Therefore, even if all the soldiers in his hands die today, he must plan for a breakthrough in Subu.
Now that the two armies are fighting, and the news cannot be transmitted, Qiangqu hopes that after seeing the current situation of his department, Su Bu can dispel the idea of saving himself and lead people to break through quickly.
The Xiongnu soldiers are worthy of being a strong nation that has been crisscrossing Mobei for hundreds of years, and under the robbery and killing of the two departments of the official army and the Wuhuan soldiers, there are still soldiers who can break through the obstacles of the official army and kill the official army camp.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Yi waved his big hand, and the formation of the officers and soldiers immediately changed, and the shield soldiers lined up, followed by many officers and soldiers with ropes in their hands.
The Hun soldiers who rushed to kill suffered heavy casualties under the rope shields of the officers and soldiers. Zhu Jun and Liu Bei stared at the Hun soldiers who kept falling to the ground, and admired Zhao Yi who commanded the troops, they all knew that if they wanted them to lead the soldiers, the official camp would definitely not be so easy and casual to deal with the Hun soldiers.
The general of the middle of the charge stopped Xu Bu: "Young leader, now that more than half of our soldiers have been killed or wounded, if we continue to rush and kill, I am afraid that all this little force will be thrown here." Saying this, the general pointed to the official army camp, "Besides, even if you rush in, it's useless." Young leader, you see, the official army camp is like a net of heaven and earth, and the leader has lost his war horses when he accepts his subordinates, and there is no way to escape under the siege of the official army. ”
When Xu Bu heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at the county town of Guangning, and saw the Hun soldiers who were fighting on foot, and his heart kept falling.
But with the 5,000 soldiers in their hands, let alone crushing the imperial army, they felt that it was difficult for them to deal with these cavalry.
But how could Su Bu, as a son of man, see his father in danger and not save him, so he immediately threw off the shackles of the general and rushed over again with his soldiers and horses.
But their onslaught was met with an even stronger attack from the officers and soldiers. Zhao Yi saw the Hun soldiers who were desperately rushing to kill and shook his head secretly, now the Hun soldiers have gone, if it was more than ten days ago, Xu Bu led the troops to attack, and the two soldiers attacked inside and outside, Zhao Yi They will be defeated, but it is too late now, the initiative is now completely in the hands of the official army, and the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department may be able to live for two more days in the city, but if they go out of the city to face the battle, they can only kill the neck.
These Hun soldiers are all warriors, Zhao Yi admires them very much, but he is not merciful to them, if such a murderous soldier is allowed to return to the tribe to recuperate, then he will not be able to sleep peacefully: "Pass my order, the four shield soldiers quickly move closer to the west gate, and be sure to complete the encirclement of the remnants of the Huns within two quarters of an hour!" ”
If the official army completes the encirclement, then these Hun soldiers will be unable to fly.
And at this time, the Wuhuan general led 7,000 soldiers to rush over from the southeast. The scout of the sub-department quickly reported the news to Subu: "Chief, there is a large group of cavalry marching quickly towards our department!" ”
Xu Bu waved his hand and killed the two Wuhuan soldiers, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw a burst of sand in the southeast, and between the dust and sand flashing, the fierce spirit of the soldiers was clearly visible, and he was less than fifteen miles away from him.
Ninety percent of the cavalry coming from the southeast were not reinforcements, and his subordinate general asked Xu Bu: "Young leader, now that the official reinforcements have arrived, how should we deal with it?" ”
Five thousand Wuhuan soldiers are still difficult to deal with, not to mention that there are seven thousand soldiers at this time, and now it is naturally thirty-six to go ahead.
The soldiers of the Subu Division fought with the officers and soldiers for an hour, and nearly 3,000 people had been lost, and if the 7,000 reinforcements arrived, the Subu Division was afraid that not even a single person would be able to escape.
Xu Bu looked at the towering city wall of Guangning County, and sighed in his mouth: "Let's go!" Xu Bu gave the order to retreat, and when the soldiers fled, they lost hundreds of people, but fortunately, the Hun soldiers' horses were fast, and they finally left the officers and soldiers behind after traveling dozens of miles.
There were only 1,500 of Xu Bu's men who fled back to the border of Youzhou, and they were all wounded, so Xu Bu kowtowed three times in the direction of Guangning County, and then turned over and horseed: "Let's go, let's go back to the tribe." ”
It's not that Subu is not unwilling, he has done his best. Now that Subu has given up rescuing Qiangqu, under the siege of tens of thousands of troops of the official army, he has lost the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department of the War Horse Qiangqu, and he is simply unable to rush out. The official and military formations are strong, and the Xiongnu tribe, known as the first tribe outside the country, is afraid that it will decline.
After the withdrawal of the army in Xubu, Qiangqu in the city of Guangning County also ordered the soldiers to close the city gate, he no longer had the heart to listen to the casualty reports reported by his subordinates, his soldiers would die here sooner or later, and it was impossible to break through.
"Order your soldiers to open the city gates, and I will fight to the death with the officers and soldiers!" Qiang Qu swept the bronze jue on the table to the ground and said through gritted teeth.
If the city wall is firmly defended, if the officers and soldiers besiege their own troops for another month, let alone resist, it is not bad if they do not starve to death. Rather than starve to death, it is better to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.
Seeing the opening of the Sifang City Gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate were very strange in their hearts, and they did not act rashly, but told Zhao Yi about it.
Zhao Yi understands Qiangqu's psychology very well: "Don't panic, in my opinion, Qiangqu wants to fight to the death with our army." The battle of trapped beasts, the courage is commendable. ”
"That Qiangqu is a man, my old Zhang has the heart to compete with him, can the eldest brother and second brother help." Zhang Feixing greeted him.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei set their eyes on Zhao Yi, and said in their hearts that this is a camp in Youzhou, not Zhang Fei's pig killing shop, and whether to attack or not depends on Zhao Yi's arrangement.
