Chapter 200: Pre-War Harassment
Because of the Zhangshi, they attracted the attention of most of the Hu archers. Saigo's lightly armed foot soldiers with shovels and shovels went very smoothly. In less than two hours, the uneven ground outside the south gate of the Tutunu tribe had been repaired, and the lightly armed foot soldiers did not suffer many casualties. Liu Ye was very satisfied with this.
As for the Zhangshi, although they were taken care of by the Hu archers. But it is protected by a heavy tortoiseshell array with super anti-arrow ability. And there is not much to lose. On the contrary, it was the archers of the Hu people, who were shot one after another by the crossbows, even with the protection of the female wall, but still suffered heavy casualties. This made the Tutunu tribe jump to his feet with anger.
After repairing the road outside the south gate of the Tutunu Division, Liu Ye did not continue the attack, but chose to collect his troops and return to the camp. After all, today's task has been completed, and there is no need to continue to dwell on it.
In the evening, after dinner. Luan Jie brought Liu Ye the latest news of the allied forces.
"Are you sure?" Liu Ye, who was hugging the goblin in front of the bed, said with a surprised face. Luan Jie followed Liu Ye when he was very young, and he can be regarded as Liu Ye's scholar. For Luan Jie, Liu Ye did not treat him as an ordinary subordinate. Instead, he treated him as a servant, as a relative. So in front of him, Liu Ye didn't need to be pretentious. There are some intimate things that don't need to be shunned from him. Luan Jie is also very happy about this. After all, can the ruler's vassals be compared to the ruler's retainers?
"Yes! This is what the scouts saw with their own eyes. The Hu people were divided into two divisions, one of which had about 6,000 people rushing to our army day and night! Another department of about 2,000 people is rushing to leave! Luan Jie reported respectfully.
"Great!" Liu Ye said happily.
Excited, he kissed the little goblin's little face several times one after another. provoked the little goblin to be angry.
"Husband! What's there to be happy about here? That Hu people are biased and obviously want to rob our army's grain road! Our army is about to become logistically unstable. Husband, aren't you worried? The goblin wondered. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with these two thousand Hu people, they will definitely not be able to attack the outpost camp. It was clear that they wanted to cut off Saigo's supply lines. As a result, the supply of food and equipment to the Xixiang Army was cut off, in order to win without a fight.
"Of course so-and-so knows! The allied forces wanted to send partial divisions to cut off our army's grain routes, and on the other hand, send the main force to drag our army in the southern part of Fei County. After our army runs out of food and is unable to fight. Break us in one fell swoop. But they are too greedy. It also underestimated the combat capability of our army. Hu Gou's military strategy this time is really good, and his vision is very vicious. However, if we want to succeed, it must be established if the Tutunu Department is not broken by our army. Once the Tutunu division is broken by our army, our army will be able to get enough supplies. The Hu people's plan also ended in nothing! On the contrary, only 6,000 troops of the allied forces will be threatened by our army. It's all about giving me a chance, how can I not be happy? Liu Ye touched the goblin's hair and explained slowly. Previously, Liu Ye had been worrying about how to deal with these 8,000 allied forces. Now that the allied forces of all the ministries have taken the initiative to give a chance, how can Liu Ye not be happy. After all, there is an essential difference between the 8,000 allied troops and the 6,000 allied troops for the Xixiang army.
"The lord (husband) is wise!" The little goblin and Luan Jie admired.
"However, this must only be assumed that our army can defeat the Tutunu tribe within three days. If our army can't attack for a long time, when the main forces of the coalition forces arrive, our army will be very passive and will become very dangerous! Liu Ye suddenly said solemnly.
"Don't worry, husband! When the whole army attacks the city the day after tomorrow, the concubine is willing to lead the white-robed guards to attack the city, and the concubine will definitely dedicate the Tutunu Department to you! The little goblin seemed to sense the worry in Liu Ye's heart, and after leaving Liu Ye's embrace, he patted her pair of small breasts and said confidently. The goblin is very confident in his own strength.
"I'm sorry for you!" Liu Ye took the little goblin into his arms again and said with some distress.
To be honest, Liu Ye was really reluctant to let his little goblin go to attack the city in person. After all, siege and field warfare are two different things entirely. The danger of siege is much greater than that of field warfare. No matter how awesome people are, they can't stop the boulder and fire oil. But in order to be able to defeat the Tutunu tribe in three days, it is necessary to let the goblins go out themselves. After all, the 'White Wolf Silver King' is much stronger than the rest of the tricolor armor among the Hu people. As long as the little goblin with the aura of fear stands there alone, the combat power of the Hu people will definitely be greatly reduced. She really had to lead the white-robed guards to attack the city.
"Luan Jie, is there anything else? If not, go down first! After saying a few words of love to the goblin, Liu Ye said to Luan Jie. After all, with Luan Jie's big light bulb, many things can't be done.
"The last will retire!" The witty Luan Jie was very knowledgeable.
"Wait!"
"My lord, what else do you command?" Luan Jie, who had just gotten up, half-knelt down again.
"Continue to monitor the coalition forces of the various ministries, and help Benjun bring a letter to Liu Shi, let him start! And tell him that you must not let those cubs sleep soundly tonight! Liu Ye said meaningfully.
"No!"
After saluting Liu Ye, Luan Jie left. Liu Ye and a certain goblin were left alone to secretly say some red-faced love words.
……
"Thank you, Brother Luan. I'm sorry for you to come here yourself. Go back and invite you to drink! Outside the Xixiang Army camp, Liu Shi put his arm on Luan Meng's shoulder and said very affectionately.
"Brother is polite! This is the command of the Lord. The younger brother is just doing what he is told. But since the elder brother insisted on inviting, the younger brother could only be disrespectful. Luan Jie smiled.
"You little slippery head! By the way, does the lord have any other commands? Liu Shi smiled and continued to ask.
"The Lord told you not to let the Hu cubs of the Tutunu tribe sleep peacefully tonight!"
"A certain general commands!"
Liu Shi bowed to the big tent of the Chinese army to show his respect for Liu Ye.
"Brother, brother is going to get busy first! Go back and rest first! Remember to wear earplugs! It's going to be a big move later! Liu Shi patted Luan on the shoulder and asked.
"Okay! Dude. ”
……
In ancient times, there was nothing to light up at night, and there were no entertainment facilities. The ancients generally slept early. The Hu people are no exception. I fell asleep around the end of the day.
"Kill! Come on! ”
Accompanied by the beating of gongs and drums, all kinds of shouts and killings suddenly sounded in front of the south gate of the Tutunu Ministry. Woke up the Tutunu defenders at once. After they put on a little dress, they hurriedly ran to the wall. Prepare to defend against Zhao Gou's attack. But when they arrived at the wall, they didn't find the attacking Xixiang army.
"What's going on? What happened? Lord Gougobu, who had arrived after hearing the news, asked angrily. He was immediately woken up as soon as he fell asleep, but when he arrived, nothing happened. This made him very unhappy.
"Lord Hui, a large group of Zhao dogs just attacked. I don't know why this group of Zhao dogs retreated as soon as they arrived at the wall! A Hu man on duty said a little nervously.
"How many Zhao dogs are there?" Lordobu-sama asked.
"I don't know! A piece of black pressing, which looks very much. Hu Ren on duty continued to report.
"Rubbish!" Lord Hougobu scolded angrily.
In the face of the scolding of Lord Houwubu, the Hu people on duty felt very angry. But he didn't dare to talk back to his own honored guests, so he could only shrink aside.
"Brother, discourage! It seems that this should be Zhao Gou's tired strategy. Tutunu, who had just arrived, said. Lord Tutunu is also a battle-hardened veteran. At a glance, I could see Liu Ye's sinister intentions.
"Tired of the army? That's easy to do! Later, some of the men were left to strengthen the sentry, and the rest went back to find something to plug their ears. No matter how much he harasses, we ignore it. Just sleep until dawn! Lord Gobe said immediately. Apparently there is some research on anti-harassment.
"No way!" Lord Tutunube shook his head.
"Why?"
"Don't forget, this group of Zhao dogs in front of us is very good at night attacks. If they come back for real later. What should we do? I don't want to repeat the mistakes of Vala and Sioux City! Tutunu-sama explained.
"Damn Zhao Dog!"
"So what are we going to do? You can't let this group of Zhao dogs do whatever they want all the time. Otherwise, tomorrow, where will the sons and daughters have the strength to kill the enemy? Lord Hougobu said urgently.
"It seems that we can only guard it in detachments!" Tutunube-sama sighed. Detachment guarding is to divide the entire force into several teams, take turns to guard the wall, and the rest go back to rest. Although the detachment was able to suppress the continuous harassment of the enemy. But it's a blow to morale. And there was no guarantee that the soldiers would have enough time to rest.
"That's all there is to it!" Lord Hougobu nodded in agreement. After all, he didn't have much to do now.
The harassment of the Saigo Army continues, but the Tuhou coalition forces have already taken countermeasures. It's just that the Xixiang Army doesn't know. The harassed Xixiang Junbai had a night of hi. However, it is not without effect, at least the Hu people who guard the wall of the imperial wall during the day are more or less sluggish. This is the sequelae left by the all-night harassment of the Xixiang Army last night.
……
Early the next morning, Liu Ye led the main force of the Xixiang Army to the south gate of the Tutunu Department again. Today he is going to use siege ladders to launch a skirmish. In this way, the reality of the city defense of the Tutunu tribe was tested. Get ready for tomorrow's showdown. It is worth mentioning that two well-built wagons were put into battle. With the crossbow, he suddenly suppressed the Hu archers on the wall. This gave the two adults of the Houwu Department and the Tutunu Department a headache. But they don't have a good idea. They didn't have a golden combination of a bed crossbow and a fire oil bottle specifically designed to deal with the wells. I could only watch with my eyes as the two well carts wantonly poured arrows on the wall.
Under the double suppression of the well chariot and the crossbow, the lightly armed foot soldiers of the Xixiang Army also carried the siege ladder to attack the Tutunu department. But it didn't work very well. They were all repelled by the tenacious Hu people. However, Liu Ye didn't care, the real battle had just begun.
