Chapter 79: Cavalry Night Attack
For the temporary retreat of Wuhuan, it gave Ye Chen a great chance to breathe, and the city defense was immediately reinforced, and it was not so easy for the Wuhuan people to attack again.
At this time, Wushu can be described as a dilemma, retreat will be a big drop in prestige, there is a danger of losing the throne, advance will lose a lot, there is also a danger of losing the throne, and even if the loss of strength is too great, the tribe will be annexed.
The Wuhuan people surrounded Yejiabao and besieged it without attacking, and they didn't even know how to attack. It was dark around the world.
After dark, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that it was very difficult for the Wuhuan people to attack the city at night, as long as the main general was not confused, he would not choose to attack the city at this time, so that Yejiabao could breathe and have more time to rest.
The craftsmen rushed out a batch of shields and bows and arrows, which made Yejiabao's defense even stronger, as long as the Wuhuan people dared to attack, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Big brother, we take turns on duty at night." After inspecting the city defense, Ye Chen found Tai Shi Ci on the city wall and said to Tai Shi Ci.
"Well, okay, I'm in the middle of the night, you can go and rest first." Tai Shi Ci said to Ye Chen.
"Okay, big brother, let me know if there is anything in time." Ye Chen was not polite to him, now was not the time to be polite or anything.
Although Ye Chen went down the city wall, he had no intention of sleeping, the pressure on him from the Wuhuan people was too great, and the tens of thousands of people in Yejiabao relied on him, if he couldn't repel the Wuhuan people, then he would suffer heavy losses.
Ye Chen is not happy, and the Wuhuan people are also not happy.
"Let's talk about it, what is the way to take down Yejiabao." Ushu once again summoned his men.
"That cavalry is too threatening to be found and eliminated." In a war, I am most afraid of being attacked from behind, which makes people unguardable.
"My lord, I have a note." A handsome man stood up and said to Wushu.
"What's the idea, tell me quickly."
"I heard that the Han people like to attack at night the most, maybe they will attack the camp tonight, we will ambush them first, wait for them, as long as their cavalry is eaten, we will start attacking the city again." The little handsome said proudly.
"Well, well, that's a good idea, just do it, you go and prepare it immediately."
So the little handsome went down to prepare, but the movement of their preparation was a little big, and they were afraid that others would not know that they were going to ambush them.
Tai Shi Ci outside the city had already sent someone to get the news, and he knew that he was stroking his beard and smiled.
The Yejiabao was quiet, and dozens of people from the guard battalion were patrolling with family guards to maintain order.
Ye Chen also thought about attacking at night, but this time was different from last time, this time there were too many of them, it was impossible for them to act in full force, so they could only divide more than a thousand people to attack at night, it was too dangerous to do so, and if one was not careful, he would not be able to come back, so Ye Jiabao would definitely not be able to defend it tomorrow.
As the night wore on, the team quietly walked out of the woods. It's Guan Yu's team, and he's going to start acting.
Guan Yu was going to attack at night, of course, he already knew that the other party was prepared, so he naturally wouldn't be fooled obediently.
Wushu sat in his tent, anxiously waiting, and now that he was consuming on this side and losing so many troops, it was already very unfavorable to him.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Uzhu walked anxiously around the tent.
In the middle of the night, under the cold moonlight, a group of cavalry was marching rapidly.
"Kill!"
Guan Yu shouted and rushed over, but this time they did not attack the Wuhuan people who surrounded Yejiabao, but attacked the Wuhuan people outside Xiangping City.
The Wuhuan people outside Xiangping City had no defense at all, the defenders in the city had been frightened by them, and they didn't dare to come out at all, and there were no enemies in other places at all, but they didn't know the existence of such an army as Guan Yu.
Guan Yu and his entourage were like tigers out of prison, unstoppable, and the cavalry crashed directly into the fragile camp tent, and many Wuhuan people were killed in their sleep.
The escort battalion rushed directly into it from one direction, no one resisted at all, rushed all the way, and soon rushed to the end, so Guan Yu turned around and commanded the army to rush back again, and then there was another confrontation.
This gate is a city gate far away from Yejiabao, there are more than 1,000 Wuhuan people in the camp here, even if they are all equipped with bows and horses, they are not the opponent of the guard battalion, not to mention that now in their sleep, there are no war horses, no weapons, how can this be fought.
Guan Yu was at the front, and when he saw the camp tent, he directly used it to break the camp tent, and then the men and horses rushed in together. After rushing in, those who resisted directly swung their knives and slashed, and if they didn't resist, Guan Yu directly broke the camp tent from the inside and rushed out from the other side.
As for the Wuhuan people in the camp tent, when the guard camp in the back passed by, one person and one shot, and the dead could not die again, and it would not take too much time to extinguish a camp tent at all.
The camp tent that was swept by the escort battalion was left with only a dilapidated camp tent and a pile of corpses, which can be said to be in disarray.
The war horses of the Wuhuan people were placed in the middle of the tent, but they had no chance to ride their war horses, and a group of escort battalions rushed back and forth in front of the war horses, and they had no chance to get close to the war horses.
There are no war horses, and the Wuhuan people have very low combat effectiveness just by relying on the weapons in their hands, and they are not opponents at all.
After more than half an hour, the tent was flattened.
"Take these horses and go." After killing the enemy, it was too late to capture, although Guan Yu saw that there were a lot of belongings in the camp tent, but this time was not suitable.
One of the warriors led a horse, and the others let a few warriors chase behind.
Soon Guan Yu and the others disappeared into the night, and soon after they left, the Wuhuan people from the other doors heard the movement and rushed over, only to see corpses and tattered tents all over the ground in front of them.
In fact, the Wuhuan people came fast enough, but when they heard the voice, it was a few minutes after Guan Yu started to attack, and then they got up and dressed, and then went to lead the horses, the whole team, and when Guan Yu came over, they had already leveled the tent and had already left.
The Wuhuan people were very angry when they arrived at the scene, but they didn't know how many enemies there were, so they didn't dare to pursue, but just quickly reported the news to Wushu.
Wushu was anxiously waiting for Guan Yu to come to attack, and then ambush and destroy them, but what he was waiting for was the news that his troops had been attacked.
Wushu angrily smashed the things in the tent, this time not only did he not ambush the opponent's cavalry, but his camp was also attacked and suffered heavy losses.
When Guan Yu attacked the camp, the city of Xiangping was alarmed, they were all watching from the top of the city, and they were all excited to see Guan Yu tearing their enemies apart, but they didn't dare to kill them.
If they can organize people to kill them at this time, the Wuhuan people will definitely suffer heavy losses, and they will have to retreat if they have to.
It's a pity that the army in Xiangping City is patchwork, and the defense is very difficult, where there is the courage to counterattack, and there is no unified command, this kind of army cannot fight.
Regardless of the reaction in Xiangping City, Guan Yu retreated quickly, and soon hid in the dense forest in the distance, and then ordered some soldiers to keep vigil, scouts to observe all movements within ten miles, and then the others hurried to rest.
It's just that it's almost dawn at this time, and Guan Yu is afraid that the Wuhuan people will chase him, so he puts the camping location farther away.
However, Guan Yubai was worried, the Wuhuan people didn't dare to pursue at all, and as for the Wushu Tent, it was too late for them to receive the news, so they could only do it in a hurry in the barracks.
They didn't sleep all night, and waited until dawn to let the soldiers rest, and they had been preparing to ambush Guan Yu in the first half of the night, and the second half of the night became to guard against Guan Yu's night attack.
If you don't rest all night, you naturally don't have the energy to launch a siege the next day, and even if you barely start a siege, it will increase your losses.
Ye Chen knew about the movement in Xiangping City last night, but the faint voice was not sure what was happening, but it was estimated that Guan Yu was going to attack the camp or harass.
But the effect is very good, at least the Wuhuan people have to stop, and they haven't launched an attack yet after three poles of sunrise this morning.
At this time, Wushu was in a dilemma, and he estimated that he would have to fill in at least 3,000 men and horses to capture Yejiabao, and when he went south, there would only be a few thousand men and horses left, and this could not count the cavalry outside the city, although there were not many of them, but their combat power was amazing and they were well equipped.
If this is the case, his throne will definitely not be kept, and even the entire tribe will be swallowed up by Chuliju.
He didn't know that there were still many Zhuang Ding in Yejiabao, as well as many caravan guards, and they were all combative, and these added up to tens of thousands of people.
If you know that Wushu will definitely not think about it again, you will retreat decisively, otherwise it is still a question whether you can capture it, and maybe it will be counterattacked.
Wushu is also a man with brains, knowing that he can't stay in one place for a long time, he must retreat before the rescue team of the Han people is organized.
It's just that the Yejiabao in front of him devoured too many of their warriors, and they couldn't explain it if they didn't take it down, they could suppress the voice of the clan in a short time, and someone would definitely want to replace him after a long time.
When he was in a dilemma, he first suspended the attack, and Ye Chen took advantage of this time to vigorously strengthen the defense and let the soldiers rest and rest.
It's just that the rest is not long, and in the afternoon the Ushu is going to start organizing an attack again.
