Since it is to exterminate the clan, how could Xu Rong really leave a way out for Hu Chuquan, the reason why he let go is to avoid greater casualties caused by the Huns, but on this side, Zhao Yun intercepted it outside the city, and the trap was dug when the city was chaotic, and Hu Chuquan rushed out without knowing it, and was stopped by Zhao Yun.

Cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and in the past few days of fighting with the Han army, how could Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Liao, the generals, Hu Chuquan, not know?

Especially Zhao Yun, the Huns believe in the strength of the respect, Zhao Yun several times led the army to rush into battle, a silver spear, I don't know how many Hun warriors hated it, Hu Chuquan personally saw Zhao Yun with hundreds of people will kill tens of thousands of cavalry formation, its bravery left a deep impression on Hu Chuquan.

Zhao Yun didn't have many people, and from the glimmer of dawn, there were only two or three hundred people, but they were blocked at the gate of the city, surrounded by dense horse traps, and the cavalry couldn't rush through at all, so they could only fight on foot.

There were more and more shouts behind him, and a large number of Huns were driven to this side to escape from this seemingly gapy position, Hu Chuquan gritted his teeth, and then dragged it down, and when the Han army's brigade arrived, there was really no place to escape, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Get off the horse, rush!" ”

The place at the gate of the city is not big, although Zhao Yun only has two or three hundred people, but if he shoots, he will definitely suffer a loss on his side, the Han army's use of bows and arrows is more than one grade stronger than that of the Huns.

"Kill~" A group of Huns jumped down from their horses one after another, brandishing their weapons and rushing towards Zhao Yun.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zhao Yun snorted coldly, and the three hundred soldiers behind him were divided into three rows, each holding a two-stone crossbow in their hands, and began to pour crossbow arrows at the city gate.

It was not a salp, Zhao Yun divided the crossbowmen into three rows, one row for every hundred people, one row quickly retreated after shooting and added crossbow arrows, the second row fired, and then after the third row finished shooting, the first row had completed the addition of crossbow arrows and could continue to shoot.

This shooting method has been used since the pre-Qin period, the effect is very good, for a time, the arrows are flying, countless Huns are surging, and then fall on the way to charge, thirty or fifty steps away, the two stone crossbows are extremely powerful, the arrow clusters are also new, with blood grooves on it, the penetration is very strong, it can generally penetrate the bodies of two or even three people, less than fifty steps away, stunned by three hundred crossbowmen.

There are also the spirit of the Huns to shoot arrows to counterattack, but these crossbowmen are different from ordinary crossbowmen, wearing rattan armor, invulnerable, unless they can shoot in the face, otherwise ordinary attacks will not be effective at all, and what is even more sad is that the Huns continue to pour out of the city gate, and there are only a dozen people who can shoot arrows, unable to form an arrow array, and the damage to the crossbowmen of the Han army is naturally minimal.

"Get on your horse, charge!" However, although he failed to rush through, the horse pit was blocked by the corpses of these people, Hu Chuquan was overjoyed when he saw this, and he didn't care about feeling sorry for the dead soldiers, turned over his horse, and led the cavalry to step on the corpses of the Hun soldiers and began to charge.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun knew that it would be difficult to stop, so he immediately whistled, took three hundred crossbowmen to get out of the way, and let these Huns rush over.

Although I don't understand why Zhao Yun let them go, but if you want to come to only three hundred crossbowmen, it is impossible to block the charge of the Hun warriors, Hu Chuquan can not care about entangling with Zhao Yun at this moment, the sound of fighting in the rear is already very close, he must now escape as soon as possible, go to Jilu Village first, there is still a team of people there, although there are not many, only five thousand warriors, but there are these people, they have fled to the grassland, and they can also build a big tribe by themselves, Hu Chuquan has already figured it out, instead of going to others, it is better to pull up the banner and do it alone, Even if there is no previous scenery, it is better than sending people to watch people's faces live under the fence.

The people of Jilu Village were not recruited together at the beginning, and now it seems that this decision was so wise!

Zhao Yun got out of the way, but did not leave, but shot from behind, now Ye Zhaojun began to refine the troops, these crossbowmen in addition to the basic training, the most trained, is archery and crossbow array training, is the elite crossbowmen in the army, each person has six arrows, twelve arrows per bag, a total of seventy-two, as long as there is no death, can continue to shoot arrows to shoot these arrows.

It is also the simplicity of the new crossbow machine to load the arrow, because the use of the pulley and the principle of the machine, the power required for the arrow is also much less, otherwise it is not easy to shoot a bag of arrows just by opening the crossbow, according to the power required by the old crossbow, and at this moment, it is easy for these specially trained crossbowmen to eat.

"Boom~"

Ahead, the mountains shook, and the cavalry fell to the ground.

Hu Chuquan spit out the grass and mud in his mouth in a bad way, and the Han people actually dug a large trap here, which is to drive them all out!

The dense screams behind him sounded, Hu Chuquan didn't even want to look at it, no wonder Zhao Yun didn't stop at all, it turned out that he was waiting here, and he couldn't care about scolding the Han people for being cunning and insidious at the moment, after Hu Chuquan got up, he ran forward with a roll, anyway, there were a large number of people behind, Zhao Yun was only two or three hundred people, so many people, it was impossible for him to kill them all.

Zhao Yun really didn't chase, with three hundred crossbowmen shooting and retreating, after retreating to a safe distance, he lined up in a row to release arrows at the fleeing Huns, in Ye Zhao's words, this is called collecting taxes, when the enemy has no intention of fighting, there is no need to chase the enemy, just shoot arrows at the passing enemy, look at it to make it easier for the enemy to escape, but in fact, the damage caused may be more than chasing the enemy, because of this design, every time it is shot to the densest place in the crowd, with a blood groove of arrows, as long as the arrow can make people bleed, basically can't survive, In this way, the actual damage that these three hundred crossbowmen can do is ten times or more than the number of people.

After almost all the Huns fled, half of the quivers of the three hundred crossbowmen had not yet been shot.

Xu Rong took the men and horses out of the city, but did not pursue, looking at the corpses almost piled up on the ground, Xu Rong ordered people to start cleaning up the battlefield, as for the escaped Hu Chuquan, there were people to clean up, even the Huns who lost their horses, wanted to run on two legs, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"Filial piety is a wonderful plan." Xu Rong took Zhang Liao and Huaxiong, who moved with his troops, to join Zhao Yun, and Fa Zheng also came with his headquarters, Xu Rong praised Fa Zheng.

Originally, according to Xu Rong's estimate, this battle would have to be fought at least two more times before it was possible to completely empty the living forces of the Huns, but the casualties of the Han army would definitely not be low, but Fa Zheng's strategy saved Xu Rong a lot of effort.

"The general strategizes to have this victory, and he doesn't dare to be greedy for merit." Fa Zheng said with a smile.

"Meritorious service must be rewarded, it is the rule of the army, filial piety should not be modest, if this battle is not filial piety, you can defeat the Huns, our army will be seriously wounded, after returning to the dynasty, the general will ask the lord for filial piety." Xu Rong was in a good mood and laughed loudly.

"However, the tactics in the army have also opened Zheng's eyes, which seems to be similar to the pre-Qin battle array, but different!" Fa Zheng was no longer hypocritical, but praised.

The first Qin swept the six countries with advanced crossbows, and finally dominated the world, and this time, Xu Rong commanded the army, and it was also based on the crossbow array, especially in the end, Zhao Yun's tax-collecting offensive method, if it weren't for this kind of elite crossbowmen and crossbow arrows with blood grooves were precious items, the three hundred elite crossbowmen would be expanded to three thousand, and it would be impossible for the Huns to leave this time.

However, if it weren't for the fact that Zhao Yun only had three hundred people, Hu Chuquan wouldn't dare to ignore Zhao Yun so carelessly and break through directly.

"General!" In the afternoon, Zhang Liao came out of the city and saluted Xu Rong and said: "In the battle last night, 30,000 Hun soldiers and horses were killed, but nearly 50,000 Hun soldiers and horses were captured, and these prisoners ......."

Even after the battle, the initial army of 50,000 is now only in the early 30,000s, and there are nearly 50,000 prisoners of war, which is not easy to handle.

"Gather up their weapons, bind their hands and feet, and besides, gather all the men in the city, and dig a big pit outside the city, remember, big enough!" Xu Rong said to Zhang Liao.

"Whoa!" Zhang Liao nodded and took the order.

Zhao Yun thought of something, looked at Xu Rong, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end, sighed silently, and bowed to Xu Rong: "General, the last general is a little tired after even turning over the battle, please allow the last general to rest for a day." ”

Xu Rong glanced at Zhao Yun deeply, shook his head and sighed: "Zilong, the lord attaches great importance to you, our army will inevitably fight with foreign races in the future, there are some hurdles, you must pass." ”

Zhao Yun nodded, then bowed and said, "Please allow the general." ”

"Grant you three days off, and after three days, come back to me." Xu Rong nodded and waved his hand.

"Oh, the last general will retire!" Zhao Yun bowed and turned to leave.

Fa Zheng frowned and glanced at Zhao Yun, and said with some puzzlement: "Why did General Zilong ......?"

"Zilong is too benevolent, although he has the qualifications of a good general, but sometimes, he is too forgiving and is not suitable to lead an army alone." Xu Rong now admires Fa Zheng's ability a little, so he is not as cold as he was at the beginning, and explained: "If you don't control the soldiers, Zilong's temperament, if you can't pass this hurdle, I'm afraid the lord won't be able to rest assured that he will be in charge." ”

Forgiveness?

Fa Zheng nodded silently, but he didn't agree with Xu Rong's statement, benevolence is not a bad thing, and Ye Zhao's previous battles were not as desperate as this time, Ye Zhao was very tolerant of the Han people, just like the Yellow Turban back then, Ye Zhao has always only punished the Yellow Turban Army, and even Fa Zheng heard that Zhu Jun wanted to slaughter the Yellow Turban Army, and Ye Zhao even almost did it with Zhu Jun for this.

Benevolence also depends on the object, in Fa Zheng's opinion, Ye Zhao should just let Zhao Yun come here to adapt, with Zhao Yun's ability, he will definitely have to be alone in the future.

However, the concept is different, and Fa Zheng did not make any more excuses with Xu Rong, just wait and see, he first voted for Ye Zhao, and it is better not to argue with these veterans.
