Chapter 75: Besieged
Ye Chen led people to kill the Wuhuan people again, and at this time, the land shook slightly.
"Kill"
It was Guan Yu who killed him, and he killed him from behind the Wuhuan people, and the cavalry crushed the infantry, and it was a group of unorganized and scattered routs who had been killed.
There was almost no suspense in the battle after Guan Yu arrived, the cavalry rushed in from behind, Guan Yu was the head, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife could always bring up a touch of blood red with a wave.
This cavalry is well-armoured, and it is a high-quality war horse, and it is a death scythe that harvests life when it charges.
The cavalry killed them in pairs, then separated from each other to continue the pursuit.
Seeing this situation, Ye Chen also commanded the infantry of the escort battalion to divide and surround it, so that no one could be arrested.
"Big brother, how."
The battle lasted for half an hour, and none of the 1,050 Wuhuan people escaped, all of them were ambushed, and at this time, Tai Shi Ci brought people over to meet Ye Chen.
"More than a thousand horses have been confiscated by us."
It turned out that when the battle began, Ye Chen asked Tai Shi Ci to take some people to watch the horses and prevent the Wuhuan people from approaching.
These Wuhuan people wanted to grab war horses, but Tai Shi Ci firmly blocked them, they were attacked by the enemy on their backs, and they had no war horses, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, how could they be Tai Shi Ci's opponents.
"Yun Chang, I just saw you lead the cavalry to charge, it was really full of momentum, and a charge made the Wuhuan people collapse." Tai Shi Ci said to Guan Yu excitedly.
Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled and accepted it happily.
"Young master, big harvest." Tiger Head ran over and said excitedly.
"Oh, how much more can be seized?" This tiger head has also seen the world, and he has seen a lot of good things when he suppressed bandits.
"Young master, these soldiers are rich, and none of them have a lot of property, all of which are put in the camp tent."
Ye Chen understood as soon as he heard it, these must have been the gains they had looted along the road, and most of the rules of this grassland were their own, so each soldier must have a lot of loot.
Of course, these things couldn't be carried with them when they were fighting, so they were all put in the barracks, which made Ye Chen gain a lot.
"Big brother, hand over all the war horses to Yun Chang, you can't put them in Yejiabao."
"Well, what the second brother said is, leave it all to Yun Chang to deal with, these are all the best horses on the grassland." Tai Shi Ci has seen those horses, and he really likes them.
"It's better to leave a hundred horses in case it's useful." Guan Yu said with a smile on the side.
He knew that he had captured more than a thousand war horses, and he often had a smile on his face, and with Ye Chen's character, he estimated that the cavalry would be expanded after the war.
Because this battle was a sneak attack, there were no great losses, most of them were wounded, and only a dozen died.
Ye Chen ordered a quick cleaning of the battlefield, he first asked Guan Yu to take the horses to arrange first, and let him take some of the captured grain and grass with him.
The rest of Ye Chen asked people to quickly move into Yejiabao, especially bows and arrows, and seized nearly a thousand pairs of bows and arrows, and there were many arrows, which greatly strengthened the defense of Yejiabao.
The battle is not over, although three thousand Wuhuan people have been exterminated, but there are still many Wuhuan in Xiangping, although I don't know how many there are, but it will definitely not be less.
Ye Chen asked people to organize the trench to be re-dug and buried the corpses here.
There are a lot of Zhuang Ding in Yejiabao, and they can do these things quickly.
The escort battalion has gone back to rest, and there may be a fierce battle from tomorrow, so it must rest well and recuperate its strength.
Especially today's soldiers who shoot against the Wuhuan people, the arms they shoot with arrows are out of strength.
Fortunately, all the guards have learned archery, and they can take turns, although the technology is not as good as the Wuhuan people, but there is no need to aim on this kind of battlefield, just shoot hard in that direction.
As long as the archer can form a rain of arrows when shooting, it is difficult to survive without protection under the rain of arrows.
In the second half of the night, Ye Chen also went to rest, after all, it is not possible to fight without physical strength.
Early the next morning, Ye Chen came to the city, and the Wuhuan people did not kill as expected.
"It's starting to fight again, I guess they won't last long."
There was a faint shout of killing from the direction of Xiangping City, and it was the Wuhuan people who began to attack again.
......
"Kill, we must capture this city today, and let everyone loot it for three days after the city is broken." King Wuhuan shouted loudly.
With the order of the Great Khan, all the Wuhuan warriors were boiling, and they went south to plunder, for food, for women.
The morale of the people on the city wall is much lower, and yesterday's one-day battle caused them heavy losses, and many people felt desperate when they saw the rain of arrows from the Wuhuan people.
Today they moved a lot of door panels to block the bows and arrows of the Wuhuan people.
This method still played a certain role, at least the intensity of the counterattack on the city was a little stronger.
Seeing this situation, the Wuhuan King became anxious, although he grabbed a lot of things when he went south this time, but if his soldiers were killed and wounded too much, then the Huns would come over.
Even if the Huns didn't fight, then he believed that as long as his strength was insufficient, Qiu Liju, the Great Khan of Wuhuan, would annex his tribe.
"Give me a close attack."
With the king's order, the archers of Wuhuan got closer to the city wall, and the effect of this is that the attack power of the bow and arrow is strengthened, which can penetrate the door panel and kill and injure the enemy, but the disadvantage is that their own casualties will be greater.
As the Wuhuan people approached to attack, the city wall was immediately a little unable to hold on.
Li Wei watched from the city worriedly, he dared to go up the city wall not because of how brave he was, but because there were a bunch of people next to him to protect him, and there were several shields alone.
Li Wei went down the city wall, and went to find those families, now he can only rely on those families, although he has long ordered the counties to organize reinforcements, but there is no sure when this reinforcement will arrive, if it can't last today, then don't expect any reinforcements.
After an hour of attack, the resistance on the city wall weakened, but it was still unbreakable.
"What about Uton, it will take a day to attack a small Wubao, tell him to hurry over to support, I want to break through Xiangping City in one fell swoop." King Wuhuan said angrily.
After he finished speaking, naturally someone went to the direction of Yejiabao to look for Uton, but they didn't know that Uton had already been beheaded last night.
"Report, my lord, Udon was not found."
The man who went to look for Uton has returned, and it is only a few miles away from Yejiabao, and the fast horse can quickly run back and forth.
"What, I can't find it, I must have run somewhere to rob the woman again, give me another look, send more people to find it."
The king was in a hurry to break through Xiangping City, and he didn't even think that Uton had been destroyed, because he thought that three thousand warriors could crisscross anywhere.
The man who went to find Uton came back an hour later, and came back with very bad news for King Wuhuan.
Udon was annihilated.
King Wuhuan's name is Wushu, and Uton is his nephew, but no one knows that he was actually born to him and his sister-in-law, and even if he knows that no one will say him on the grassland.
"Who, who is it, I will break him into pieces."
Although Wushu feels sorry for his son, he cares more about his 3,000 men and horses, and his strength in the grassland is everything.
"King, it's Yejiabao ahead."
Wushu was extremely remorseful, it was he who despised Yejiabao, he thought that three thousand people were more than enough, but he didn't expect this to be the result.
"Leave a group of soldiers and horses to surround this place, and the rest of the people will follow me to destroy Yejiabao."
Revenge is one thing, and the Wushu who can be the king of the grassland tribe is not a person who doesn't know anything, this Yejiabao can destroy 3,000 of them, and the strength is definitely not small, if you don't destroy them first, then you have to be prepared.
If you don't have defense, your side is attacking, and it will be miserable if you are attacked from behind.
"Here we are." Ye Chen and Tai Shi Ci stood side by side on Yejiabao, and at this time, the ground shook slightly, and a large number of cavalry came over.
Yejiabao was surrounded by groups, and there were 5,000 people on the other side.
Five thousand people, although Ye Chen was under some pressure, he was not worried, there were four thousand guard battalions in his fort, and there were many Zhuang Ding, and the materials were well prepared, it was not so simple for the Wuhuan people to break through this Yejia Fort.
It is true that this Wushu attacked Xiangping with 15,000, and now he has lost 3,000 people in Yejiabao, and 4,000 people in Xiangping City in a day and a half, and now there are 8,000 people around him.
These 8,000 people left 3,000 people to guard against the defenders in Xiangping City, so they only brought 5,000 people to attack Yejiabao.
Before, Uton led 3,000 people to annihilate the whole army, and he only had 5,000 people, of course he would not attack, he wanted to surround Yejiabao first, and then wait for reinforcements, and besiege Yejiabao as soon as the reinforcements arrived.
This reinforcement is the 10,000 people sent to the Liao team to loot, and Wushu has already sent people to transfer it back.
Wushu walked back and forth twice in the fort, and he couldn't see the situation inside the fort clearly, but he did make preparations outside and dug three trenches, and he did have to pay a certain price to break through these three trenches, but this couldn't stop him.
Ye Chen saw this situation and knew that he couldn't fight in a short time, so he first let the guard battalion rest in batches, and fought until midnight last night, although the guard battalion would not feel tired because of regular training, but there was still a fierce battle behind, and it was always good to rest more.
"Strange, why did this Wuhuan retreat suddenly?" At the head of Xiangping City, Li Wei looked at the retreating Wuhuan people and said puzzled.
Many people in Xiangping City are puzzled, because the city is about to break, if according to the previous way of playing, Xiangping City will not be able to defend in half a day, and now Xiangping City is given a chance to breathe, and the next time it will be broken again, it will pay more price.
The battle in Xiangping City frightened all the families in the city, and Li Wei organized a group of strong men and went to get a lot of defense materials.
What they didn't know was because Ye Chen had wiped out the 3,000 men and horses sent by the Wuhuan people, and the Wuhuan people were taking most of them to take revenge.
Unlike the panic in Xiangping City, Ye Jiabao was very calm, because Ye Chen told them that they could protect them.
They all have a lot of trust in the promises of the Ye family, and since Ye Chen took over the Ye family, all the promises have been fulfilled, and most of them have been overfulfilled, that is, this year they have begun to eat well and live a good life.
