Chapter 58: The Eve of the Decisive Battle (Second Update)

Just as the head of the army withdrew through the three trenches and the division of Budugen, the sound of trumpets and war drums also sounded in the Han camp, and the head of the leader, who thought that the Han army was going to go out of the camp to pursue, ordered the speed of retreat to speed up.

The man who has no horse and the two who have a horse ride together, and they are quick to withdraw. But I don't want the change to come from under my feet, just now it was a gentle slope with a smooth road, and suddenly smoke and dust came up, and in the blink of an eye, there were many large and small pits.

The Xianbei cavalry, who were retreating frantically, once again fell into the pit that suddenly appeared at their feet. There are also sharpened wooden stakes in the pits, and some large pits also have Han spearmen who have been hidden in them for a long time, and they use their spears to frantically greet the Xianbei cavalry who have fallen into the pit. The leader was about to order the people in the pit to rescue the people in the pit, these are all elites, the horses are gone, and the people can go back.

At this moment, the gate of the Han army camp opened, and the Han army generals led by Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao led five thousand Hejian elite cavalry to kill them.

How can the head of the head still have the heart to pick up the station with the cavalry of the Han army, and if he stays any longer, I don't know what tricks the Han army can play, this time it was planted, fortunately only brought 25,000 elites, alas, run.

The head of the head with the step in front, after coming and suddenly, he couldn't care about the elite in the pit, relying on superb horsemanship, dodging the layers of pits, and finally escaped back to the Xianbei camp, and the company also sent 10,000 cavalry under his command to come out to respond. Xu Huang and the others did not chase after them, but only chased them down the hillside and stopped.

He Lian couldn't scold when he looked at the miserable condition of Kui's head, but he didn't expect the defense of the Han army camp to be so strong, and the traps were endless.

According to the final statistics, 30,000 people remained on the hillside, and only 10,000 returned, although they were all elites, but most of them were frightened, and they also lost their horses and became infantry.

He Lian comforted the Kuitou and Budugen brothers, no matter what, they finally figured out the hole cards of the Han army camp's defense, even if not all the hole cards, it should be the majority.

He Lian looked at the patriarchs around him, the patriarchs of the Xianbei tribes in the east and west, and when he saw He Lian looking at him, he hurriedly bowed his head one by one and was silent, for fear that He Lian would meet his eyes.

The 40,000 iron horsemen at the head of the kui all returned with feathers, how could their own 8,000 people be enough for the Han army to fill the gaps?

He Lian secretly scolded these patriarchs in his heart for being spineless and losing his face. He could only turn his gaze to Kebineng for help, he also knew the way of strategy, the way of the battle array, Kebineng was the most powerful among the Xianbei people now, although he didn't want to admit it, but it was the case.

"Patriarch Kebineng, look, how are we going to deal with it next?" And Lian and Yan Yue's confrontation can be said.

Kebi could look at the people around him, and then looked at the depressed head brother, he took two steps forward, and whispered to Helian: "Big leader, don't worry, I already have a way to deal with it, but there are many people here, let me go back to your big tent." ”

"Oh? Do you have a solution? After listening to Kebineng's answer, He Lian was very happy and hurriedly agreed. Let everyone disband, and without greeting the head, he hurried back to his king's tent with Kebi.

Kuitou and Budugen looked at the back of Kebineng and Helian, and they were sad and indignant, they had almost exhausted all their family resources, but they let Kebineng, the bastard, pick up a big bargain.

I can only return to the camp with the remnants of the defeated army in despair, and now I don't have to worry about the tents not enough to live in, and I don't have to worry about the lack of food to eat, and there are only 15,000 people left.

Gao Shun saw that the Xianbei people had withdrawn to the camp, and hurriedly ordered Zhang He's cavalry to clean up the battlefield and recycle the crossbow arrows that could still be used.

The arrows of the repeater can be separated, the arrows and the shaft of the arrow can be disassembled, so that part of it is broken, and the rest of the part can continue to be used, and the arrows of the repeater are too expensive to be wasted, and must be recycled.

Then he ordered the Jizhou infantry and reserve brigades that did not participate in the battle to come out and clean up the battlefield and clean up the corpses in the trenches and pits, whether they were human or horse.

This was done not only to keep the trenches and pits in use, but also to prevent the corpses from decomposing and causing a major plague disaster according to the instructions of the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing.

Tens of thousands of human and horse corpses kept the Han infantry busy all evening, so that they had no appetite for dinner. After seeing too many mutilated corpses and blood, whoever can eat will be a cow B.

However, so many dead war horses provided a large amount of horse meat for the Han army, and the corpses of the Xianbei people were gathered and transported to the rear for cremation.

In this war, the county government under the jurisdiction of the state mobilized a large number of people to help with the army, although they could not go into battle to fight, but they could cook, carry grain and grass, and rescue the wounded.

Today's battle, especially at the last moment, the head of the Kui rushed under the wall, hand-to-hand combat, and bow and arrow shooting, still brought a lot of casualties to the Han army. The Youzhou army suffered 1,000 wounded and 300 killed, the Bingzhou army suffered 1,000 wounded and 500 killed, and 500 were wounded and 100 were killed.

In total, there were more than 3,000 casualties, and of course a large part of the soldiers who died were the last brave men who hid in the pits, and many of them died with the enemy.

When Jia Xu summed up the battle situation of the day with the generals in the big horde, he also said: "Although this battle eliminated 30,000 cavalry in the head of the leader, most of them were cannon fodder, and most of the hole cards of our army's defense have been used. “

"The battle in the next few days will still be difficult to fight, it will be very difficult, and I hope that all the generals will work together to persevere until the final victory."

Fu Zhu also said: "I'm afraid that tomorrow it will be Kebi Nengbu's battle, and with this person's ingenuity, I'm afraid there will be a way to crack it." ”

Wei Xu asked in surprise: "Military advisor, male... Mr. Gonghe, the three trenches are so impassable... Ah passover, Xianbei people will be broken... How to crack it? ”

Jia Xu and Fu Zhu looked at each other and smiled, and Jia Xu said, "What's so difficult about cracking the trench? My husband and I both have a way to crack it, so I don't know which way Kebi can think of? ”

When everyone dispersed, Jia Xu asked Gao Shun to release a carrier pigeon and report today's battle situation to Lu Bu's army, who didn't know where to hide.

In the tent of King Helian, Kebi Neng asked and Lianping to retreat, leaving only the two of them.

"Great Chief, I am willing to lead my tribal warriors to serve as the main attack tomorrow and clear the way for the final blow of the Great Chief."

"Oh? Tell me a little bit about it, what do you do? Deal with the three trenches outside the Han army camp. He Lian asked excitedly, at this time, he didn't care about calculating and suppressing Kebineng.

"I asked to be the main attack tomorrow, and naturally I have a way to deal with these three trenches. Tomorrow I will have each of my warriors carry a bag of dirt and throw it into the ditch, and 50,000 warriors are 50,000 bags of dirt, and I can't fill it if I don't believe it. ”

"And I will build a ladder for siege overnight, and tomorrow all the cavalry will become infantry, first fill the ditch with soil, and then set up a ladder to attack the city."

"When filling the ditch, I will let some strong warriors put on two layers of armor and take shields to resist the damage of bows and crossbows, so as to ensure that as many soldiers as possible can rush to the edge of the ditch to fill the soil."

"While erecting a ladder to attack the city, it is necessary to arrange for the wrestlers to chop the wall with an axe, after all, it is a wooden wall, even if there is wet mud to prevent the fire, but the axe can always cut down the tree, right?"

"However, I estimate that my warriors will also suffer heavy casualties, and I only hope that when we destroy the wall and open the camp, the big leader can lead the Iron Guard army in time to give the Han army the final blow, even if it is a night battle."

"Good, good, great." After listening to Kebineng's plan, Helian was overjoyed, it was rare that Kebineng was able to take care of the overall situation and be willing to make such a big sacrifice.

He swore that as long as the wall was broken, nothing would be able to stop the advance of his 60,000 royal court guards, and he would definitely attack immediately and break through the Han army camp with one blow.

He praised Kebineng's plan, and assured Kebineng that he would personally go into battle to supervise the final battle, and that he would go south to the Central Plains in the future, remember his first merit, and grab the property and the woman fifty-fifty.

Kebi was able to say goodbye to Helian, who was excitedly putting on a banquet, and refused Helian's retention under the pretext of returning to the camp to get ready.
