Chapter 129: Borrowing Soldiers, Borrowing Soldiers, Lending an Old Thing—1

Since Zhao Yun did not know Archimedes' overall plan, he did not lead his army out of the city rashly and start a fierce battle with the enemy.

And An Qingmei did not have the idea of ordering the cavalry to go out of the city to fight, he just used the fire on the periphery to block the escape direction of the Xianbei cavalry, and then took advantage of the condescending favorable terrain of the Wolf Castle city wall to use bows and arrows to continuously reduce the enemy's vital strength.

The Xianbei cavalry had obviously fallen into chaos, and they were naturally still the elite troops that had been honed in the battlefield for a long time. However, it is precisely because of this that they are even more surprised by the methods used by the Han army.

And then the inevitable chaos, as Archimedes had predicted, punctually covered all the hearts of the human cavalry. Even Budugen and Kebineng, who were slowly following behind, ready to watch the warriors win a great victory, were also in a panic, but because their steps were relatively slow, they were not surrounded by the fire that had just burned, and they still had plenty of space to escape, which was still on the periphery of the encirclement, looking at the Xianbei warriors bathed in the rain of arrows with an unwilling look.

There are fewer and fewer Xianbei people who can stand, and there are only a handful of Xianbei people who have the courage to fight back at the city. The two leaders of the Xianbei people finally gave up waiting for their subordinates to break through. They led the few personal guards and disappeared into the rising smoke and dust.

The battle was long and tragic, and although there was no direct physical confrontation between the two sides, the aftermath of the battle did not prevent people from using the word tragic to describe it.

When Beigong Boyu led his army and passed by in a mighty way, he did not expect that Hanyang County, which was already empty of defense, would be able to consume 6,000 Xianbei elite cavalry outside the city and under the wolf castle.

As the leader of the largest ancient Qiang force in Liangzhou, the elderly Beigong Boyu was not ready to send troops to rescue Hanyang County, but among his tribes, quite a few leaders mentioned their business dealings with the Weishui Company. The old leader clearly lacked interest in these new things, so he didn't know the slightest bit about the company until then. However, when he found out that most of his generals were already connected to the company, he became more or less vigilant, so he decided to lead 10,000 soldiers to investigate the area. If the city wall or wolf castle of Hanyang County has been breached, then he naturally has no interest in rushing up to compete with the Xianbei people, but he will order his subordinates to take advantage of the chaos and loot with their ancestors, but the current situation is that the city wall of Hanyang County is still standing on the grassland of Liangzhou, and the wolf castle that was just established not long ago stands still next to a ruin.

Beigong Boyu is also a person who has experienced many four killings, but he has never seen such a tragic scene. The weeds that dry up in autumn have now turned into ashes that flutter in the wind, and they will soon become a rare fertilizer in the fields. As for those Xianbei warriors who were already full of arrows, they didn't have much use value.

This is the nature of life. When we lose, what is left may be as good as the ashes of burning hay.

Fortunately, this old leader has experienced many tests of life and death, and this sad feeling will not make him sad and cry. Now that the threat of Wolf Castle has been lifted, and he has led 10,000 cavalry to break into the hinterland of Hanyang County, there is one place he has to go to next.

Even if the new two were very talkatives, he would not easily allow 10,000 Qiang cavalry to appear on his side. Therefore, he Beigong Boyu should still go to the city of Hanyang County to visit the calligrapher and explain the purpose of his self-examination, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to the tribe and himself.

Although the Han Dynasty people are now incapable of cleaning up themselves, the veteran leaders know that many of the Han bureaucrats are not as open-minded as they seem, and although they have a lot of requirements for their own cultivation, they often seem narrow-minded and eager to repay when they are offended by others.

He wasn't sure if the Liang Thorn Shi in the city of Hanyang County was really as weak as the rumors, but pinning the fate of the tribe on the character of the Han bureaucrats was not his own palace Boyu's style.

The scimitar in his hand and the bow and arrow of his son are the power of his words. As long as you go to the city of Hanyang County and claim that you are the reinforcements who have come to stop the Xianbei cavalry, then this matter will not become a pretext for the Han bureaucracy to use against you.

In this place where the folk customs are relatively simple, if the division is unknown, then the soldiers under his command will really not work too hard, but the soldiers on the opposite side will have huge grievances and fight to the death with the enemy who comes to provoke, so many times, the justice of the expedition is really very important, of course, this point is no longer important in the Central Plains region that pays attention to etiquette. The landlords and wealthy people there are accustomed to merging with each other, and they don't spend much time looking for excuses. If the enemy surrenders it, then they will naturally laugh at it, and if the potential target is a good person who abides by the rules of etiquette, then they can only eat the other party alive, otherwise they will never be able to defeat the purpose of annexing other people's lands.

This is also an irony to say that those Han people who originally advocated etiquette are no longer paying attention to the laws passed down from their ancestors at this moment. They can't wait to leave behind those burdens called etiquette, and they are as neat as a certain king of Chu, and after winning the annexation war, they shouted, I'm a Chu person, a barbarian!

This point is not as crisp as he, the leader of the Qiang tribe, in fact, he is also qualified to roar like the king of Chu: "I Yi Di also!" Then he rushed up and plundered the rich castle as if he were chopping melons and vegetables.

However, this slight thought that had just arisen was then thrown out of the clouds, only to see the front door of the castle slowly open, and a white-robed young general in his 20s led 500 light cavalry to leap out.

In an instant, this insignificant cavalry force set up a battle formation in front of the mighty army of 10,000, and their target was to directly target Beigong Boyu, the most prestigious old leader on the grassland.

The laughter of the knocker was immediately heard, and the disdainful eyes of tens of thousands of people were cast in unison, which made the young Han soldiers quite uncomfortable, and several of them were even furious and ready to rush forward to fight each other to the death.

Then at this time, Zhao Yun's cold voice came out, and he sent a strong greeting to the old leader on the opposite side: "The last general, Zhao Yun, Sima under the command of the festival chief Shi Suning, was ordered by Archimedes, the guard of the Wolf Castle, to ask the old leader, why did he break into the hinterland of my Hanyang County?" ”

Beigong Boyu was very old, so he first looked Zhao Yun up and down, and then replied casually: "Why did I come here, the Xianbei people lying on the ground should have told you." Now that the northern front is tight, and the defense of Hanyang County is empty, if I don't come to the rescue, then I'm afraid that half of Liangzhou will fall into chaos, and my sons and I don't know how many people we will fight against? ”

Although his words were not as sonorous and powerful as Zhao Yun said, they did not lack the weight of the loud voice.

In addition, he has always been a person of prestige, so answering like this steadily suppressed Zhao Yun in his aura.

However, Zhao Yun snorted coldly and asked in a more sonorous and powerful voice: "The old leader's ranch can continue to advance from here, and it will take at least a day or two from getting the news to integrating the team." And it only took us more than a day to wipe out the Xianbei cavalry who were preparing to attack Hanyang County, and if the old leader hadn't gotten the news in advance, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come so timely. ”

Zhao Yun's questioning made Beigong Boyu speechless on the spot. He had indeed received a report from his subordinates a long time ago, and no one on this grassland was more familiar with the terrain than his subordinates, so it was impossible for that group of Xianbei people to avoid his eyes and go straight to Hanyang County, but he was not ready to send troops to rescue, but his subordinates pleaded with each generation, claiming that Hanyang County had a major deal related to the life and death of the tribe, so he came to inspect it. Unexpectedly, the scene of not wanting to report the news in a panic was also deduced by the little cub in front of him.

What's more critical is that in Zhao Yun's words, there is not only a suspicion of accusing him of Beigong Bo and not reporting it, but also secretly hiding speculation about his collaboration with the enemy.

Such accusations are extremely serious in Liangzhou, a place that has been controlled by the Han Dynasty.

Beigong Boyu had no choice but to smile wryly, and casually found an excuse to explain: "I have a lot of sons and daughters, all of whom are doing business with Weishui Company, and I heard them say that the business here is related to their lives, so they have to pay attention to it, so they are quite fond of the merchants who come and go." Since the ancestors passed by a few days ago, they immediately told me about the situation, so we chased after us, so we did not delay on the road, but the Han army is indeed brave, I didn't expect that in such a short time has been wiped out by the elite 6000 Xianbei cavalry, replaced by my sons, I'm afraid it is difficult to do. ”

Hearing him admit that his son's combat strength was not as good as the current Han soldiers, Zhao Yun knew that he was showing his soft position, implying that even if he wanted to stir up trouble in Hanyang County, he would weigh the strength of the Han army. The implication is naturally that he will not make a mistake here, and please rest assured that this little general will not be reassured.

Zhao Yun was very relieved of such an artistic answer. So he invited: "Since the old leader has good intentions, he has come from afar. It's better to go to Hanyang County with Zhao to meet Lord Thorn Shi, you have such a big movement, if you don't explain it to the 40 adults, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

Beigong Boyu secretly praised Zhao Yun's little shrewdness, and casually agreed: "I have this intention, since the little general is willing to go with him, then it is naturally necessary." ”

However, Zhao Yun didn't finish his words, only heard him add: "The old leader is really a cheerful person, much stronger than Lord Thorn Shi, I heard that the old guy was already full of disgust for the ice war expedition after being attacked by someone first, he can't see the soldiers and horses now, and asked the old leader to arrange these 10,000 elite horsemen near Wolf Castle, and only take his guards and Zhao Yun to the city of Hanyang County." ”

Beigong Boyu heard his words, obviously worried that he would mutin after he led his troops into the city, and then he would be able to seize control of the city with only the advantage of numbers.

His subordinates could also hear the meaning of Zhao Yun's words, so they immediately fell into anger, drew their blades one after another, and cast angry glances at Zhao Yun.

However, Zhao Yun refused to give in at all, he glanced at the generals of the Qiang tribe with firm eyes, and then waited for the old leader's answer without saying a word.

Beigong Boyu didn't hurry to speak, he stood there peacefully, letting the atmosphere on both sides become tense, he wanted to know which side would be the first to make concessions, or directly on the ruins of this battlefield, blowing the horn of attack again.
