Chapter Thirty-Four: The War of the Gentlemen
Chapter Thirty-Four: The War of the Gentlemen
Whether it is Su Zhi's personal breakthrough or Sima Qian's aesthetic love, it cannot reduce even the slightest sense of oppression brought by the battlefield.
When Xie Changchuan's military tent had been moved to the opposite side of the bridgehead, Yun Lang felt that it was time to build a ship.
The Blind River is not very big, but it is not small, especially in the summer, when there is a lot of rain, and the melting of ice and snow in the mountains accelerates, making the Blind River half the size.
Two months ago, the deck of the chain bridge was more than a foot above the river, but now, it is less than six feet.
Even half of the platform that was originally built with huge stones is now in the water, but the Blind River is as clear as ever.
The Huns tried to attack the chain bridge on a wooden raft down the river, but they were shot by the crossbowmen guarding the bridge.
Even if the Huns set fire to the wooden rafts, such lethality did not have much effect on the chain bridge, and they could not even burn the wet planks on the chain bridge.
After such two wars, Yun Lang harvested dozens of wooden rafts, and now, these wooden rafts are neatly lined up on the shore, once something happens, Yun Lang can let him take such a wooden raft down the river and quickly escape.
Winning is Huo Quai's business, as for escaping, it is Yunlang's business, and this is how the division of labor among the officers of the cavalry lieutenant is like this.
The battle situation on the side of Baishan Mountain was not very good, especially the Beidaying Hussars who were rangers, almost lost more than half of the battle in yesterday's battle, and had to withdraw from the plain and return to the mountain.
In the past, Yun Lang may have felt that at this time, there should be a hero who stood up and stepped on the enemy's company camp, fought a way out of despair, so as to reverse the occupation, and characterize the defeat of others as the victory and glory of the hero.
Now he doesn't see it that way, outside the bridgehead is the camp of the Huns, you can hear the sound of the Hu Ji every night, you can hear the sound of the enemy's horn every night, if you stand on the head of the city, you can even see the Huns peeing in front of the two armies unscrupulously...... There are also a lot of stools......
The camp of the Huns was loose and crumbling, without any rules, and the east and west were like stragglers.
However, even if he was as bold as Huo Quai, he did not secretly open the city pass to attack the Huns.
Yun Lang did, he did a small experiment with Cao Xiang - in the middle of the night, Yun Lang ordered the soldiers to beat the war drums......
Then, they saw that the Huns, who seemed to be still asleep just now, were already on their horses in a few breaths, and after half a pillar of incense, a complete military formation had been erected in front of the bridgehead.
The speed of the whole army is faster than that of the big man, after all, these bastards sleep with war horses.
A sneak attack could not lead to an enemy army, and it was still feasible to deploy the enemy army, so the soldiers of the cavalry captain would beat the drum as long as they had nothing to do at night......
On several occasions, they even symbolically opened the city gates and sent a little people to rush out, and found that the Huns had been prepared for the battle, and had to come back again, anyway, they did not run out of the protection range of the crossbow arrows, and they were all safe.
After five days, the exhausted Huns, tossed and exhausted, finally left the bridgehead and retreated five miles back from the Nuoda army.
Some generals thought that this method was good, so they followed it and learned it, but the result was not very good, and the Huns who were awakened were furious, and actually took advantage of the situation to seize the two passes on Baishan Mountain regardless of casualties.
The generals forgot that the cavalry captains were beating drums while standing inside the city walls, and they were beating from high places...... There is no solid support in front of them.
The cavalry captain did not let go of the retreating Huns, and then a small group of cavalry left the bridgehead with gongs and drums to harass the Huns.
A small force of troops was not worth the Huns' big move, so the Huns also sent a small force of troops to prevent a sneak attack by the Han army.
When a small army dealt with a small army, the cavalry lieutenant occupied an absolute advantage, and the all-armored cavalry dealt with the Huns who did not wear armor, and the two could not be compared at all.
Yun Lang watched the battle between the fully armored cavalry and the light cavalry for the first time, and he found that the probability of the cavalry captain's pawn being hit by an arrow was much higher than that of the Hun light cavalry.
Just because of the armor, you won't die if you take an arrow, and you won't die if you take a knife, and then when the Huns can't react, they fight with the Huns' swords, and they have to get close to cut the Huns.
The knife they cut the Huns had a great impact on the Huns, and even if they didn't kill the Huns, the Huns who went back with miserable wounds would not have any chance of surviving.
With Huo Quai, the army that confronted Yun Lang was the army of King Zuogu Li, and in just ten days, no less than 500 wounded soldiers were added to King Zuogu Li's barracks.
These days, Yi Zhisan does not pay attention to the army, he does not seem to pay attention to Shan Yu's illness, in fact, he has never left the royal tent, and now, the person who rules his subordinates is his ally King Yougu Li.
The right valley Liwang is a brave person, otherwise he would not have taken the opportunity to enter Shanglin Yuan when the Han was lax in defending Yanmen Pass.
After thousands of casualties, even how conceited the King of the Right Valley was had to report to Yi Zhixian to know.
Ruyi's body is very plump, which is very in line with the requirements of the Huns for beauties, these days, the anxious Yi Zhixian is because of Ruyi's company, and the days of waiting are not too sad.
Even so, when talking about business, Ruyi still can't stay in the tent, today, before Ruyi left with his clothes, the king of Yougu Li stepped into the tent and said to the shirtless Yi Zhi: "The Han thieves on the blind river are not easy to deal with, and we have already suffered thousands of casualties." โ
The king of the right valley came in, and Ruyi had no way to leave, so he had to hide in the corner of the tent with his clothes and get dressed.
Yi Zhixian was taken aback, jumped up from the couch, grabbed the chest of the Right Valley Liwang and said, "Didn't I tell you that this war has nothing to do with us?" โ
The king of the right valley pushed away Yi Zhixi's hand and said coldly: "We don't go to them, but they come to us, a few days ago, they were like flies always beating drums around us, and I have ordered to retreat five miles."
Then, these hateful Han Chinese, taking advantage of the fact that we had freed up a battlefield where we could maneuver, sent out a small elite force of cavalry to continue to harass us.
I couldn't press the whole army up to fight a small force of cavalry, so I sent the most elite wolf cavalry, and as a result, our elite wolf cavalry did not take advantage of the Han army.
The wolf cavalry of two hundred people was not the opponent of the cavalry of a hundred Han people on the frontal battlefield, and later sent three hundred people, but the effect was not great, and they were also defeated by one hundred Han cavalry!
If I send five hundred wolf riders, they will flee quickly......
Their bows and crossbows are strong, their armor is strong, their blades are sharp, and they have two horses, and the generals led by them are also brave, and we have suffered heavy losses in several battles.
Compared with the rest of the Han army, this small group of Han cavalry was particularly hateful, they did not seek to kill our Xiongnu warriors, but only to wound them...... You also know that once our warriors are wounded, it is not much different from dying in battle. โ
Yi Zhixian sat back on the bed, glanced at Ruyi, who was dressing, and asked, "Ask your master, does she know the origin of this army?" โ
Ruyi covered her chest with her shirt and whispered: "The slave knows!" โ
The king of the right valley sighed, then reached out to catch Ruyi, held her in the air and roared: "Who are they? I'm going to chop them into pรขtรฉ! โ
Yi Zhixian glanced at the right valley king coldly, snatched Ruyi from his clutches, threw it on the bed, covered her trembling chest with a blanket and said, "Who is the other side?" โ
Ruyi hugged his chest and said carefully: "It's a group of gentlemen......"
"Hahaha, a bunch of gentlemen?" Feeling humiliated, King Liwang reached out again, ready to break Ruyi's fair-skinned neck.
Ruyi hid behind Yi Zhixian, hugged Yi Zhixian's majestic body tightly and hurriedly said: "Really, they are really a group of gentlemen, the first one is called Huo Quzhi, who is Wei Qing's nephew, and the other is called Yunlang, who is a scholar, and Cao Xiang, who is simply a bastard who doesn't know anything, as for the fierce general that the king said, he should be a useful person in the cavalry army, called Li Kang, and Li Guang's youngest son......"
