XXXV. Wolf smoke is everywhere
……
"Kill!"
"Puff~"
"Bang ......"
The sound of killing shook the sky, the blade of the gun entered the body, the man turned on his back, and the terrifying sound echoed throughout the Milu Plain......
But the figure of the entire slave army was drowned out by the rolling iron horses, and even the howls were covered by the sound of horses' hooves. Vertex Says X 23 U OM
Sixty thousand horses and horses charged, and before they reached the enemy's formation, the already demoralized slave army completely collapsed, screaming and leaving the array and fleeing in all directions, but the iron cavalry covering a wide area became the burial place of this group of slave troops at this moment.
The five hundred heavy cavalry that broke the barracks were neat and tidy, always maintaining a complete array, like iron waves, lifting all the visible figures in front of them into the rolling yellow sand, and bursts of bone cracks echoed in the ears of the passing cavalry, how cruel and ruthless.
When the roaring iron hooves stepped over, there was no longer a standing slave army on the battlefield. When the yellow sand dispersed, I saw all the mess, full of twisted and deformed corpses, lying in a pool of blood as if to tell everything that had just happened, and war was so cruel.
"Keep going!"
Seeing that the slave army that blocked him had been wiped out, Liu Ce yelled, but did not stop the army from stopping, he was now racing against time, and he couldn't afford to take it lightly.
At the same time, Xu Wenjing also started her own actions, fully cooperating with Liu Ce's strategy of entering Shuoyang.
……
"Yang Ying, if you continue to besiege Jucheng, you must hold back the defenders in the city, so that they have no time to take care of the general's cavalry troops."
"Han Ying's envoy, try to contain the six camps near Rongye, Hunu, and I will give you another 5,000 Jizhou troops and 2,000 Wu cavalry at your disposal."
"Seal the camp, the three towns of Juyang in northern Hebei Province please you, I will transfer 4,000 people from the herdsmen to your command, and do my best to attract their troops to your side, so that they have no time to take care of the general's headquarters, of course, there is no need to fight to the death."
"Patriarch Moji, you will work with Xu Ying's envoy to attack Liyang Mansion with all your might!"
"Brother Yang Youhuai, you cooperate with the Moji Patriarch and the Xu Ying envoy to guard the main road from the exit of Liyang, but there is no need to hold it tightly, if the enemy army rushes north, you can let it go."
"Yang Fan Yang battalion envoy, you immediately follow the path of the general, and clear out the enemies he has not cleared along the way, if you encounter a tough ground, remember not to fight hard, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties, the horses have been prepared for you, just outside the city, three thousand Jizhou soldiers will accompany you."
"Martial arts envoy, Yong'an will be handed over to you, this is the general's foothold, and there must be no mistakes!"
Xu Wenjing was in the Yongan General's Mansion, and made tactical arrangements to the generals, and then got up and said: "Everyone, how can Xu Wenjing be virtuous, entrusted with the important task of the general's love, and temporarily represent the important affairs of Jizhou, now the general trend is pressing, it all depends on all of you here, please!" ”
After speaking, Xu Wenjing knelt on her knees and bowed heavily.
The generals stood up and stood solemnly: "Please rest assured, we will obey the general's orders!" We will live up to our mission! ”
……
"Bang!"
Outside Yancheng, several more ladders were burned and collapsed by the fierce fire oil, crushing a group of slave soldiers, and the hoarse howls did not stop for three days.
"Hurry up and rest!"
Looking at the retreating enemy troops outside the city, Zuo Shuo immediately roared to stop the soldiers who were still bending their bows and arrows and preparing to shoot.
"Whew...... Water! ”
Although fire oil can inflict great damage on the enemy, it is also a kind of torture for the defenders, and the blazing heat is often a test of their will. As soon as Zuo Shuo breathed, he felt a dry pain in his throat after being smoked, and he hurriedly called the soldiers to bring him water.
A soldier untied the water bag from his waist and threw it at Zuo Shuo, who stretched out his hand to catch the water bag in mid-air, immediately opened the stopper and poured half a bag of water into his mouth to feel better.
At this time, Guan Qi, who was smoked into black charcoal, sat down beside Zuo Shuo with his sword in his hand and said, "Mr. Zuo Qi, it's not okay to go on like this, the oil is running out, and we can only stare dryly after another wave or two......
Zuo Shuo hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about the casualties?" ”
Guan Qi said with a sad face: "There are less than three hundred of my more than 600 guards left, and now I will send all my subordinates to top." ”
Zuo Shuo rested his head on the women's wall, sighed and said: "There are still three hundred and thirteen people in my place, plus the soldiers of the Intelligence Department, less than seven hundred, tsk, tsk, and some ......."
Guan Qi simply sat beside Zuo Shuo and said: "It's difficult, the offensive on the opposite side has been getting more and more fierce in the past few days, if you don't think about delaying it for a few moments, I'm afraid it won't last long." ”
Hearing Guan Qi say this, Zuo Shuo closed his eyes and pondered, trying to think about how to deal with it......
"Interesting, really interesting."
At He Danyan's camp, Murong looked at the withdrawn soldiers with a playful smile on his face.
"There are more than 1,000 defenders in Xiaoxiao Yancheng, and tens of thousands of troops can't be captured for more than ten days in a row, is this because the army is too strong, or is our army too weak? Hehe......"
When He Danyun heard Murong Yun say this, his face couldn't help twitching a few times, and then he said with a little dissatisfaction: "Murong Yuma, please give the last general an idea, so that he can recapture Yancheng as soon as possible so that he can return to General He Danluo." ”
Murong Yong shook his head and smiled: "General Run, this horse only came to Jizhou this time as a guest, and he has no right to dictate to your army, right?"
When He Danyun heard Murong Yun say this, he immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground: "Please also ask Murong Juma to come up with an idea, if it goes on like this, I can't explain it to my father!" ”
Murong Yong glanced at him, and then said with a smile: "Why do you have to be like this, General Yun, please hurry up." ”
Then he looked in the direction of Yancheng and said, "If you want to recapture Yancheng, you must first find out what those people in the city are going to do?" Is it done at random, or is it for another purpose. ”
He Dan hurriedly said: "Whether he is casual or has another purpose, please also ask the master of the horse to take an idea for me to capture this Yancheng as soon as possible, I will definitely remember the kindness of Murong and the horse, and I will never forget it!" ”
Murong Yong shook his head and said, "Actually, if you continue to fight, Yancheng will be recaptured sooner or later, so why rush for a while?" ”
He Danyun said: "Tens of thousands of troops have besieged the city for more than ten days without breaking the city, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the army's morale will fluctuate and affect morale." ”
Murong Yong nodded and said: "What you said is also reasonable, but fortunately, the loss of the soldiers and horses of the five thousand Hulan headquarters directly under you is not large, and it is nothing if those slave soldiers die and die, anyway, people have it." ”
After speaking, Murong Yong gently slapped the horsewhip on his palm, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the Yancheng city wall in the smoke of gunpowder.
"Order your troops to stop the offensive for the time being, withdraw ten miles away and hide, and lure out the group of people in the city, can't General Shi Rong take advantage of the situation to take back Yancheng......" Murong Yun said with a smile to He Danyun behind him.
……
"Siege!"
"Hey!"
Under the Ju City, Yang Kaishan gave an order, and thousands of alien swords and shields covered a ramming car and three siege towers slowly approaching the city wall.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The defending generals on the tower shouted loudly, and the rain of arrows poured down towards the besieging soldiers.
"Poof......
"Ah......h
Dozens of sword and shield hands were pierced through the tight gaps by sharp wolf-tooth arrows and burrowed into their bodies, and blood mist burst through the advancing ranks......
But more arrows were nailed to the siege tower and the round shield, and I saw that the front of the siege tower was full of dense arrows, and many arrows that were not deep in the wood were scattered all over the ground in the process of moving.
"These bastards!"
On the city wall, Luo Erqin, the general of Jucheng Town, looked at the figures full of moving figures below, and kept cursing angrily.
Since the "fall" of southern Hebei, the entire northern Hebei has always held a posture of close and strict defense against all units of the Jingwei battalion to prevent them from marching to northern Hebei.
For more than three months, everyone has been peaceful, and just when the northern Hebei side thought that there would be no more fighting in a short time, all of a sudden all of a sudden in northern Hebei was inexplicably plunged into the flames of war.
More than a dozen towns and dozens of stockades in the north were attacked to varying degrees in a matter of days and all at once......
Nowadays, almost the entire frontier towns in northern Hebei are in the midst of war, scattered in the center of Jucheng.
"Hold on, don't let those behemoths get close!"
Although it was the first time he had seen such a thing as a siege tower, his years of combat experience had taught Luo Erqin that these things were by no means unusual, far greater than the threat of the wriggling ramming cars under the tower, and he could not be unwary.
……
"Sigh the law ......"
"Appeal ......"
"Click......
The torrent of iron cavalry led by Liu Ce was still galloping on the northern Hebei plain, and as soon as a cavalry of hundreds of people from northern Hebei came into contact with it, they were stabbed off their horses one by one by the cavalry spears in the hands of Fu Yunxiao's cavalry, and the turbulent sea of cavalry submerged their bodies.
"General, there are more and more enemies blocking us, it is difficult to reach Shuoyang in ten days if we continue like this, and even if we reach Shuoyang, we will definitely be surrounded by the army of He Dan!" Chu Zijun expressed his concern to Liu Ce about what he saw on the march for three consecutive days.
"That's what I want!" Liu Ce listened to Chu Zijun's words, and said categorically, "Divert the defenders from all over northern Hebei as much as possible to the garrison, and provide an opportunity for the military division to capture the city, so that there will be enough harvest to feed the millions of people under his rule." ”
Chu Zijun said worriedly: "But general, there are still tens of thousands of troops in pursuit behind him, and there are still dozens of enemy strongholds blocking the road ahead, I am afraid that we have fallen into the enemy army at this moment." ”
Liu Ce chuckled: "Zijun, you're right, but look at who are the troops chasing my iron cavalry?" Most of them are composed of slaves who have returned from the capture of Hulan people from all over Jizhou, and the morale of this battle force cannot be compared with their main department at all, even if there are many people, it is not a matter of worry!
Therefore, our large-scale dispatch is not only to save Zuo Shuo, of course, Zuo Shuo does want to save, but more importantly, through this rescue, we will find out the details of the Hedan Department in northern Hebei, and make all preparations for the future of our Dingding Jizhou.
As for the encirclement you are talking about? Hehe, look at how far those slave armies were left behind by us? At least a hundred miles away, can this still be called a siege? ”
Chu Zijun pondered Liu Ce's words carefully, and then nodded.
Seeing that Chu Zijun seemed to understand, Liu Ce didn't say more, but just ordered: "Pass my military order, march into Yanye Town at full speed, and rest in the town tonight!" ”
"Yes!" Chu Zijun led the order to ride his horse back to his headquarters, and the army galloped towards the town dozens of miles away.
At the same time, the angels who were rewarded by the imperial court to Liu Ce, as well as the horses and princesses, had also arrived in Yuanzhou......
