Chapter 1577: The Qiang People Break the City (Medium)

For the Qiang people to need blades and armor, Han Sui refused, even at the beginning, the blade armor that Han Sui sold to the Qiang tribe was also eliminated by the Han army, even so, these blade armor was very popular in the Qiang tribe.

There is no shortage of warriors in the Qiang tribe, what they lack most is the blade armor, and the Qiang people can have leather armor on their bodies when they fight, which is a thing to be proud of, not to mention armor.

However, in this case, when the Qiang people were fighting, they were extremely contemptuous of the Han army, which had excellent blades and was not very effective in combat.

Reilly has been in and out of the army many times, with money, and gradually mixed with the guards of the soldiers to become familiar, the guards of the soldiers for such a smart person, is also very fond of such a smart person, they are in the army, there are not many opportunities to obtain benefits, more cases, the benefits are obtained by the generals of various departments, finally have the opportunity, how can they easily let go.

For every time Reilly arrives, the soldiers in the army will not check at all, and at this time there is a large army of Qiang people outside the city, the city gate has long been closed, and it is very difficult for Qiang people to mix into the city, and the appearance of the Qiang people is still relatively easy to judge, but the soldiers guarding the barracks ignore that among the Qiang tribes, there are still many Qiang people who are not too different from the Han people in appearance.

The arrival of the Qiang army outside the city made Reilly feel urgent, and he decided to shoot in these two days, and the opportunity for him to make a move was that the Qiang army attacked the city, only in this way, after poisoning, could it have a greater effect.

According to Lei Li's prediction, if the poisoning can be successful, it will be enough to make the 3,000 Han soldiers lose their combat effectiveness, when the combat effectiveness of the defenders in the city is less than half of the usual, in the face of the fierce attack of the Qiang people, it is conceivable that they can defend the city.

Thinking of Beigong Feng's promise, Reilly looked forward to it.

The army of the Qiang tribe launched an attack on Fanhe the next day, Fanhe is just a small city in Zhangye, in disrepair, if it is not for the arrival of Liang Xing, the continuous repair of the city, it is impossible to resist the attack of the Qiang people.

In the eyes of the princes of the Central Plains, it is definitely a small city, but in the eyes of the Qiang people, it is not so easy to break, and how many Qiang soldiers fell because of the attack on the Han city.

There is no moat, so that the Qiang army is much more convenient when attacking, the Qiang people attack the city, when they have an absolute advantage in numbers, there is no idea of encircling three missing one, as long as the city can be broken, and everything in the city is Qiang, naturally it will not let the Han soldiers and civilians escape from the city so easily.

The Qiang people did not realize that it was because of their greed that the Han army was even more desperate in the face of the Qiang people.

At this time, very few Han soldiers wanted to take refuge in the Qiang people, what kind of experience the Han people had under the rule of the Qiang people, they were still very clear, in addition to training, they often discussed the neighboring Qiang people, these Qiang tribes treated the Han people in their eyes is extremely cruel, if it falls into the hands of the Qiang people, it is better to die on the battlefield.

The Qiang attacked from all four walls at the same time, greatly weakening the defenders.

Liang Xing led a thousand soldiers as a mobile force, and whenever other city walls were in danger, he would lead his soldiers forward, and the defenders on each wall were only 500 people, which was also to ensure that the soldiers in the army could have enough rest time when facing the Qiang attack.

Although the number of the Qiang army was large, but the city of Fanhe was not large, five hundred soldiers were more than enough to guard a city wall, and when the situation in the city was urgent, these soldiers waiting under the city could be put into battle at any time.

The siege of the Qiang people is extremely fierce, the Han soldiers in the city, the strength of resistance is also very great, one by one, under the boulders, the Qiang soldiers have suffered a lot of losses, especially in the process of climbing the ladder, they are the most prone to death and injury.

The Han soldiers were obviously very experienced in the face of these ladders, and they only needed to knock down the ladders to block the attack of the Qiang army to a certain extent.

The most headache for the Qiang people is the Han army after the rope is tied to the wood, these pieces of wood have dense huge iron nails, falling on the body, not dead is also seriously injured, hateful is that these things are used up, but also can be recovered, the existence of the rope is to allow these things to be used repeatedly on the battlefield.

Therefore, when this kind of wood appeared, the Qiang soldiers would rush up to prevent the defenders of the city from continuing to use the wood to cause damage to their own soldiers.

The attack lasted for a day, and the Qiang people paid a lot of price.

The Qiang people who attacked the city this time were more warriors mobilized from the Qiang tribe, and they had experienced very few wars, so they could grow up more quickly on such a battlefield.

For the lives of these Qiang soldiers, Beigong Feng didn't care too much, he still understood the reason that Ci was not in charge of the army, as long as the city of the Han people could be broken, everything would be worth it, and the Qiang soldiers who could survive on the battlefield were the elite of the Han army in the future.

Attacking Fanhe is not only as simple as driving Han Sui's forces away from Zhangye, Beigong Feng also has the idea of training, and on Beigong Feng's side, there is a Han strategist named Cheng Qian, who has the same experience as the Han Zhang Qi next to Dian Ling, which is different from Dian Ling's suspicion of Zhang Qi.

Beigong Feng has great trust in Cheng Qian, over the years, Beigong Feng has been able to gradually grow to the point where it is now, which has a lot to do with Cheng Qian's advice in secret, but on the bright side, Cheng Qian will not appear in front of other Qiang tribal patriarchs, which is also to protect Cheng Qian.

The Qiang people were hostile to the Han Chinese, and if Cheng Qian pointed fingers at them in front of them, it would inevitably anger them.

However, all the patriarchs of the Qiang tribe who are very close to Cheng Qian are no strangers to Cheng Qian's existence, and they still admire Cheng Qian's strategy.

Cheng Qian has a deep hatred for the Han people, his family is because of the greedy Han officials and went to death, he as a poor scholar, but can not be appointed, after some efforts, although he became an official, but to see the face of other officials, in a rage, Cheng Qian went to the Qiang tribe.
