Chapter 1018: Where did you get so many soldiers and horses?
The head of the city in the clouds.
Zhang Ren and Zhang He, the second general, stood side by side, staring at the overwhelming Xianbei Army in the north, their faces were equally solemn.
"It seems that Tuoba Li has seen through the strategy of the Son of Heaven, and is finally about to attack in a big way." Zhang Ren sighed.
Zhang He said: "We have Cloud City, and it is okay to hold on for ten days and a half, I'm afraid that Zhang Xiu won't be able to support it." ”
Zhang Ren nodded slightly, but asked, "If Zhang Xiu can't stand it, will we go out of the city to rescue?" ”
"Absolutely not!"
Zhang He's face was resolute, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty's order is to tell us to hold Yunzhong to the death, at any cost, if we go to save Zhang Xiu, it is possible that the Xianbei people will take advantage of the situation to attack Yunzhong City, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"I understand, even if Zhang Xiu is sacrificed, he must not let Cloud City lose." Zhang Ren nodded heavily.
The two generals reached a consensus, and there were no more worries, only 10,000 defenders were called to wait for them.
North of the city, Xianbei Legion.
Tuoba Li saw that the army was assembled, and a hideous killing intent ignited between his eyebrows, and he pointed at his horse whip and shouted: "Xiwu listens to orders!" ”
"The Khan commands." Murong Ke stepped forward immediately.
Tuoba Li said coldly: "Ben Khan ordered you to lead an army of 100,000 to immediately attack the enemy camp and kill the Wei army in the camp to Ben Khan!" ”
"Yes!" Murong Ke received the order and galloped away.
Woo woo ~ ~
In the Xianbei army formation, the horn of slaughter sounded, piercing the sky.
Murong Ke took the lead and galloped out.
100,000 Xianbei iron cavalry burst into formation, like a torrent that broke the embankment, and swept towards the Wei camp.
Thousands of horses galloped, heaven and earth were slaughtered, and the momentum was like the end of the world.
In the Wei camp, the 5,000 Wei soldiers were nervous and short of breath, all of them were determined to die.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy cavalry approached a hundred paces.
Zhang Xiuyin made a move and shouted: "Crossbowman, give me arrows!" ”
Whoosh~~
The sharp arrow rose into the air and roared towards the oncoming Xianbei Iron Horseman.
The screams rang out sporadically, and hundreds of Xianbei people were shot to the ground on the spot and fell off their horses.
It's a pity that the Wei army has less than 1,000 crossbowmen, and this small number of sharp arrows is like tickling the Xianbei people, and there is no way to stop the enemy approaching.
A moment later, the Xianbei Iron Cavalry swept up and crashed into Wei Ying's antlers.
The Xianbei soldiers, who were good at riding and archery, shot thousands of sharp arrows into the Wei camp, and the suppressed Wei army could only hold their shields high to resist, and they had no power to fight back at all.
The rest of the Xianbei soldiers calmly cut down the antlers and destroyed the outer defense line of the Wei camp.
In less than half an hour, the triple antlers were cut down, and the Xianbei Iron Rider crossed the ditch and rushed straight to the camp wall.
"Spear and shield man, hold the camp wall for me, and don't take half a step back!" Zhang Xiu shouted.
Five thousand soldiers of the Wei army, holding high large shields and spears, formed a copper wall full of blades on the front line of the camp wall.
Thundered!
Click!
The Xianbei people crashed into it, and the entire camp wall was violently impacted, shaking violently almost instantly, and almost falling down.
The 5,000 soldiers of the Wei army used their shields to resist the camp wall, and they barely held the camp wall down.
At the same time, thousands of Xianbei people were pierced by the spears of the Wei army sticking out of the camp wall, screaming and falling to the ground, blood staining the camp wall red.
This death and injury is still just a drop in the bucket for Xianbei's hundreds of thousands of troops, and it can't destroy Xianbei's belief that they will win.
Tuoba Li raised his whip and shouted: "Pass the order, and there will be another 40,000 horses!" ”
Sima Yi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Khan, if you go up to 40,000 horses, we will only have 10,000 reserves left, isn't it a bit too big." ”
Tuoba Liwei snorted coldly: "What's the big deal, the Wei army only has 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Yunzhong City, if they dare to go out of the city to rescue, the 10,000 elite horsemen left by Ben Khan are enough to take advantage of the situation to destroy them!" ”
Sima Yi is not good at persuading again.
The order was passed down, and more than 40,000 Xianbei iron cavalry rushed out, went straight to the Wei camp, and joined the attack.
At this moment, 140,000 Xianbei people, like countless beasts, frantically launched an attack on Wei Ying.
With more than 20 times the strength of the attack, under such an offensive with a huge disparity in strength, it is not a mere camp, even if it is Yunzhong City, it is in danger, and it is only a matter of time before the Wei camp is breached.
Woo woo ~ ~
In the northwest direction, suddenly the sound of a distant and solemn horn sounded, overshadowing the killing sound of thousands of Xianbei people.
Tuobali's heart was slightly shocked, and he was anxious to find his reputation, and he saw that in the direction of the west, the dust and mist were rolling, and it seemed that a cavalry was rushing to kill.
Wei Jun?
Tuoba Li's eyes rolled slightly, and disdain immediately appeared on his face, and he raised his whip and shouted: "Xian Yu Fu listens to the order, Ben Khan ordered you to lead five thousand elite horsemen to the west to line up and block the Wei army." ”
"The last will obey."
Xian Yufu, who was once the old general of the Yuan family, immediately shot out of the horse and led half of the remaining 10,000 iron horsemen to meet him in the direction of the west.
"Khan, this Wei army is coming strangely, we only use 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet it, is it a little less, do you want to transfer tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the enemy camp back?" Sima Yi reminded.
Tuoba Liwei disagreed: "That Wei army, most of them are Wei Gou's bluffing suspicious soldiers, what is there to be afraid of, Ben Khan expects him to be no more than a thousand people at most, and five thousand soldiers and horses are enough to resist." ”
Sima Yi was silent, although he was worried in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what it was.
Tuoba Liwei's gaze quickly turned to the direction of the Wei camp, and he didn't care about the Wei army coming from the west.
In the west direction, five thousand Xianbei iron cavalry quickly blocked the direction from which the Wei army's troops and horses were killed.
Xian Yufu did not passively line up to meet the enemy, on the contrary, he actually ordered the whole army to launch a charge, to have a hard fight with the Wei army.
Five thousand iron horsemen, rolling up, two clouds of dust covering the sky, collided with each other.
Xian Yufu in the gallop, his face burned with the excitement of fighting for merit, and secretly thought: "I have been defecting to the Khan for a long time, but I have not made any contributions, such a good opportunity is in front of me, how can I miss it!" ”
At that moment, when Xian Yu was eager to make meritorious contributions, he urged his five thousand iron horsemen to speed up and run wildly.
In the blink of an eye, the two armies were no more than two hundred paces apart, and the two sides could finally see the full picture of each other's lineup.
In an instant, the confidence on Xian Yufu's face dissipated, and it solidified into a moment of shock.
In front of him, countless Wei army iron horses, dense and boundless, like a rolling torrent swept in.
The number of battle flags and iron horses, where is thousands, it is clearly tens of thousands.
No, not tens of thousands, but tens of thousands!
"How is it possible, how can so many Wei cavalry suddenly appear, how is this possible!?"
