Hehe!

"Yes! You are a guerrilla expert, others can't catch you, only you can catch others. ”

"My lord, I have no opinion on my humble position, and I listen to my lord's orders. It's just that the Huns will flee from the eagle's mouth? You know, there are multiple options for escaping routes. ”

"Peng Yue, the Hun Iron Cavalry failed in the frontal battlefield, and when fleeing, they will only choose the closest distance and the road is relatively easy to walk. In that case, those who dare not walk in poor condition will not choose a long road.

What's more, we have Tanma on several other roads, and when an unexpected situation occurs, we will notify you in advance at any time. ”

"Yes!"

"Peng Yue! This general can only give you 10,000 cavalry, with two horses, the strength is a little less, but in the face of a group of Hun iron cavalry who have lost their armor and abandoned their armor, it should be enough to block the attack.

When the time comes, General Ben will also lead his troops to chase and kill. It's just a little bit later, so you'll have to hold on! ”

"Lord, I promise to complete the task!"

"Good! Set off in the evening, and make the movement smaller. ”

"Yes!"

"That's right, Peng Yue, bring enough grain and grass supplies, it's best to bring ten days of grain and grass, and a decisive battle with 100,000 Hun iron cavalry, it will take at least a few days to divide the victory, it is impossible for the Hun iron cavalry to directly decide life and death as soon as the Hun iron cavalry comes."

"Lord, I know."

The 100,000 Hun iron cavalry that was originally thought to be able to be killed in three days was delayed for two days, giving Ye Tong's recruits and veterans two more days to train and cooperate, and the coordination between comrades-in-arms and comrades was more tacit, and the combat power was improved to a certain extent.

The Huns killed the iron cavalry to Yancheng, and there was a big difference in the number, not 100,000 iron cavalry, but as many as 150,000. This can't be blamed on the scouts (probes) who are not careful, and the scouts can't get too close to the Hun camp, they can only reconnoiter from afar.

What's more, the number of soldiers and horses is large, and it is indeed difficult to scout the specific number of horses, because some of them are equipped with double horses, and it is even more difficult to figure out the number in the Xiongnu iron cavalry army.

Bai Lixin frowned and said: "Lord, the situation of Tanma reconnaissance is too different, and he should be held responsible." ”

Hehe!

"Bailixin! Some of the Huns have double horses, or even three horses, and the horses can be reconnoitred roughly, and it is excusable that they can't reconnoitre, so they don't have to compete too much. Besides, isn't it just an extra 50,000 iron riders? ”

Zhang Han next to him said: "Lord, the strength of the Hun iron cavalry killed this time is much stronger than the Xiongnu iron cavalry in the first battle of Qiangcheng." ”

Ye Tong also found a problem, the Hun Iron Rider who killed this time had a fierce light in his eyes, and an invisible murderous aura spread out. Recruits who are more timid will be directly frightened.

Hehe!

"It seems that this time the Huns are not small, and they will send out all the elite soldiers of a hundred battles. 150,000 iron cavalry, it should not be the iron cavalry of one tribe, it is a coalition army composed of many Xiongnu tribes. ”

Bai Lixin pointed to some Hun iron horses and said: "Lord, look there, it seems to be a lot weaker, it can't be a race enslaved by the Huns, right?" ”

"Possibly. Just right, let our recruits practice their hands. ”

In the face of 150,000 Hun iron cavalry, Ye Tong will definitely not immediately have a frontal decisive battle, and will use Yancheng to resist for a few days, so that his recruits can see blood, experience the atmosphere of the battlefield, baptize their souls by battle, and transform into elite soldiers as soon as possible.

Bai Lixin suggested: "Lord, there are still more than 50,000 captives in the city, and they are all real and false Huns captured along the way, we have to send soldiers and horses to guard them, once the captives make trouble in the city, we will be very passive." ”

Ye Tong nodded, the commanders, thousands, centurions, and tribal chiefs among the captives basically disappeared, and they would not make trouble under normal circumstances. However, in this sensitive period, it is still necessary to be strictly guarded, and there must not be the slightest problem.

"Hmmm! Let's arrange this! ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Bo muttered in a low voice: "Today, the Huns are here to inspect the defense capability of Yancheng, so they should not be in a hurry to attack." ”

Several people stood on the salt city wall and spoke, watching every move of the Huns. Zhou Bo was right, the Huns came to reconnoiter the specific situation of Yancheng, not to attack the city. I didn't even bring simple siege equipment such as a ladder, and I relied on cavalry to charge, is it useful?

Zhang Han smiled and said: "There are no trees around Yancheng, unless the Huns bring their own siege equipment. If you want to make a temporary ladder or something, you have to go to a forest dozens of kilometers away to cut down trees. It seems that there is still time to train the recruit eggs. ”

Zhang Han is right, there is no forest near Yancheng, not even grass grows, the forest from there. The Huns were all cavalry, and it was impossible to carry siege equipment. Generally, they will bring the craftsmen who accompany the army, and those craftsmen who accompany the army are actually the descendants of Yan and Huang, who were plundered by the Huns.

Hehe!

"Then step up the training of new soldiers, and take turns on duty on the city wall, and you can't relax."

"Yes!"

Although Yancheng is a newly built city, it is a difficult city to attack. Yancheng has only two gates, one to the east, one to the north, and the other two directions, the west is a high mountain cliff, and the south is a salt lake, which is conducive to defense.

In addition, the terrain of the northern gate is complex and the passage is narrow, which is not conducive to large-scale attacks. No matter how many people can't deploy, they can only adopt the tactics of adding fuel, and they can't give full play to the advantage of troops, and it is also inconvenient to attack, and only the east gate remains.

Although the east gate is better than the north gate in terms of terrain and landform, it is not so easy to attack, compared to the city in the Central Plains, the passage is still narrow, each attack of the troops is thousands, 10,000 people attack the top, that will be people by people, back to back.

Alas!

Knowing that he would encounter so many Hun iron horsemen, he should call Chen Ping's poisonous warrior and let Chen Ping come up with a vicious plan. Chen Ping's plan is the most suitable to deal with the Huns. It seems that in the future, when the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition are carried out, Chen Ping must be brought with him.

There's no money! If you really want to be rich, you can directly exchange Jia Xu's top poisoner. That's the real poisoner, a plan can be full of corpses, once you get hit, it's basically impossible to escape. That's the top big names who guess people's hearts.

Ye Tong walked down the city wall, returned to the place where he lived, thought about it and explained: "Bailixin, it has entered the late autumn season, and the temperature at night is very low, so we must do a good job of preventing the cold, and don't let the soldiers have unnecessary attrition." ”

"Lord, don't worry about this! What kind of kang you asked the craftsman to make, it's really easy to use, sleep in the room, no matter how cold the weather is, it's warm, and there will be no attrition at all because of the drop in temperature. At present, even the places where the prisoners live have been built with ondols. ”

Ye Tong nodded, this fire kang was suggested by Huang Yueying. Not only ondols, but also various stoves of different sizes can be used for baking fires and cooking. As soon as this toy was launched, it was sought after by many large households, and sales continued to rise.

Ye Tong plans to promote ondols and stoves in the area, mainly to reduce the cutting of forests and mobilize the people to use coal as much as possible.

Alas!

"The people are poor! There is no extra money to come up with and not buy coal, otherwise the deforestation will be controlled. Ten years of trees, 100 years of people, a big tree takes more than ten years to become a tree, it is easy to destroy, but it is difficult to plant. ”

It is impossible to ban deforestation, and there will be environmental awareness among the people at this time. It can only be mobilized as much as possible, not enforced. The process of civilization is not at a certain stage, and the people will not agree with it.

"Lord, don't worry about this! Didn't Xiao He and others write to say that Hanzhong, Shu County and other places began to burn coal in fashion? I heard that Xiao He and others also built a few honeycomb coal factories and stove factories, and now that the policy is good, the people will soon become rich, and it will not be too long. ”

The internal guard came in and reported: "General, the news came back from the Tanma outside Yancheng, saying that the Huns were cutting trees for tens of kilometers and preparing to process them into ladders. Tanma asked if he needed to harass him, and not let the Huns be so easy. ”

Ye Tong thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No!" Closely monitor the movements of the Huns. Harassment will only cause losses to the tanma and will not do much. What's more, we also hope to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, Peng Yue doesn't carry much grain and grass. ”

"Yes."

Seeing Ye Tong's worried look, Bai Lixin smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry!" When Peng Yue led his troops and horses to set off, one person rode in pairs, each carrying more than half a month's worth of grain and grass, and it was impossible for the Huns to wait for half a month before attacking. ”

This wait was another three days, but fortunately, the Huns did not let Ye Tong wait any longer, and after the cloud ladder was built, they immediately sent troops and horses to attack Yancheng.

The main direction of attack of the Huns was the East City Gate, and there were also thousands of people attacking at the North City Gate, but at a glance, it was clear that it was just a bluff, and the Huns stopped moving far away from the city wall, fearing that the archers on the city wall would shoot.

Ye Tong, Bai Lixin, Zhang Han, Zhou Bo and others stood on the city wall and watched, without interfering in the command on the city wall. At this time, it was Chen Fei who was commanding the battle on the city wall, and several generals at the level of brigade commanders went into battle by ferry, so there was no need to go into battle in a swarm.

The lookout reported the distance: 900 meters, 800 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters.

When the lookout reported 300 meters, Chen Fei shouted: "Ballista, put it!" ”

A hundred crossbow beds on the city wall fired a volley, and more than a hundred stout arrows shot out like lightning, piercing the advancing Hun soldiers.

Whoosh!

The Huns who walked in the front carried the ladder, and the first crossbow arrow made hundreds of Huns fall on the way forward. The Huns, who followed closely, picked up the ladder and rushed towards the city wall again.

Hehe!

Ye Tong saw the vigorous and courageous spirit of the Huns, and knew that this was the real Hun iron horse. The Hun iron cavalry that was wiped out in Qiangcheng a few months ago can only be regarded as ordinary Xiongnu iron cavalry, and they cannot be compared with the elite Xiongnu iron cavalry in front of them.

200 meters, 150 meters, 120 meters.

When the lookout reported a distance of 120 meters, Chen Fei shouted again: "Archer shoot!" Three-stage! ”

Whoosh!

Three thousand archers formed a three-stage shooting, and all at once the sky was full of arrows galloping in the sky, constantly piercing into the bodies of the Huns.

Ye Tong currently has more than 20,000 archers in his hands, but the physical strength of the archers is consumed quickly, and after shooting about thirty arrows, the physical strength is basically exhausted. Therefore, it was necessary to divide the ferries into several groups to ensure the physical strength of the archers.

When the archers shoot, if they don't use the three-stage rotation shooting, after shooting more than ten or twenty arrows in a row, the physical strength will not be able to keep up, and the three-stage shooting can recover a little physical strength in the middle, but it will not be able to hold on for a long time, so it has to be rotated.
