Chapter 278: Breaking the Game (2)
"What? 300,000 steppe cavalry? ”
Early in the morning, in the Qin army camp outside Yong'an City, Wang Benzhan, the commander of the Qin army, got up and looked at the messenger in front of him who was bowing down to report to him with a shocked expression.
"Yes, Major General, 300,000 grassland cavalry suddenly appeared from Huangshi City last night and attacked the Qing army camp at night, and the Qing army's main general Hao Ge was killed by his general Ao Bai in the war, and less than 30,000 of the 200,000 Qing troops fled to Xianshi City in the east under the leadership of Ao Bai."
The messenger who bowed down and bowed to the ground hurriedly spoke up when he heard this.
"300,000 steppe cavalry! What a bright plank road dark Chen Cang! ”
At this time, Wang Ben didn't understand that they had all been deceived by Huaguo before, how could 300,000 grassland cavalry appear outside Huangshi City silently, and it must have been transferred by taking advantage of the population transfer in Luzhou.
"Where are these steppe cavalry now?"
After pacing back and forth in the camp a few times, Wang Ben then looked up and asked the messenger.
With the defeat of the 200,000 Qing army, the Qin army under his command and the tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry under Yao Chang were divided, and the situation on the entire battlefield was very unfavorable to them.
"General Hui, after these steppe cavalry annihilated the Qing army, they are resting outside the city of Huangshi," the messenger said.
"Rest in place?"
Wang Ben frowned slightly when he heard this.
He couldn't understand why, in the face of such a huge advantage, the Hua army didn't concentrate its forces and continue to attack them, or Yao Chang's army.
"Not good! Da'an County is in danger! ”
Standing in front of the map placed in the tent, when Wang Ben's eyes shifted to Da'an County, he suddenly came to his senses, stood up and said in shock.
Da'an County is located in the middle of Gongzhou, which is not conspicuous from the perspective of the situation in Gongzhou as a whole, but it is very important to the Qin-Qing coalition army.
Da'an County is located on the east side of Xishan, just stuck in Yong'an, Huangshi, Xianshi three fronts back to the north, before occupying the advantage of troops has been in the attack posture when its position is not important, but now with the defeat of the Qing army, in the face of hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry, the importance of Da'an County has been highlighted.
In the case of the fall of Da'an County, if the Qin army wanted to flee north to Yong'an County, it had to climb over the West Mountain, which was hundreds of meters high, and the Yao Changqiang cavalry in Xianshi County had to take the waterway.
But this is simply impossible to achieve in the face of hundreds of thousands of extremely mobile steppe cavalry.
Once Da'an County falls, whether it is the Qin army in Yong'an County or the Yao Changqiang cavalry in Xianshi County, they will all become the turtles in the urn.
"Crunch~"
In the summer, the early morning of the entire Sichuan and Shu region was dominated by foggy weather, and in the vast white fog, the soldiers of Da'an County, who defended the city, opened the city gate on time.
Behind the city gates, a huge logistical transport force with dozens of wagons loaded with sacks of tightly bundled grain, all of which were sent to the three camps.
They are only the first trip today, and they are responsible for sending them to the Qin army camp, and after them, there will be two huge transport teams one after another, which will be sent to the Qing army camp and the Qiang cavalry camp respectively.
Crunch~
The wooden wheels crunched against the road, and the carriages slowly drove out through the gates.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
Just as the soldiers guarding the city yawned and lazily watched the convoy pass by, there was a sudden sound of a dense breaking sound in the air, and arrows pierced through the white mist and suddenly appeared above the city gate.
"Ahh~"
"There's an enemy attack!"
The sudden rain of arrows instantly took the lives of dozens of soldiers and convoy personnel, and frightened several soldiers who had escaped the city to flee back to the city gate in embarrassment while shouting.
"Run!"
"There's an enemy attack!"
The people who had just passed half of the convoy were also frightened, and one by one they ran off the carriage and fled into the city.
"Bastard! Pull the wagon out and close the gates! ”
The captain of the garrison on the city tower saw the city gate below that was tightly blocked by the transport convoy, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly wanted to command the soldiers below to pull the carriage and close the city gate.
It's a pity that this idea of his can only become an extravagant hope.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
There was a dense sound of breaking the air in the air again, directly covering the city gate, and even the captain who made a noise at the head of the city was shot into a sieve at once, if it wasn't for a small soldier beside him who saw the opportunity and quickly pulled him, this captain guarding the city would probably have gone to see the king of Hades.
"Boom~"
"Kill!"
There was a dense sound of horses' hooves in the open space outside Da'an County, and a group of cavalry dressed as steppe people rushed out of the fog and slaughtered towards the city gate.
"Run! A lot of cavalry! ”
The tremor of the earth and the shouts of the steppe cavalry immediately suppressed the dozens of remaining soldiers guarding the city at the city gate, and they fled in panic one by one.
They are just slave soldiers who stay in the place, and it's okay to bully and bully the people, so that they really want to fight with the murderous steppe cavalry, they really don't have the guts.
"Yo ho!"
In a series of howls, countless steppe cavalry evaded the carriages blocking the city gate, rushed into the city, raised their scimitars and killed the fleeing slave army.
"Ahh~"
"I surrender!"
"Ahh I give up! ”
The slave soldiers who could not escape were buried directly under the scimitar, and some were so frightened that they knelt down and asked to surrender.
"Don't pay attention to the surrender of troops, control the county government first!"
The carriage of the transport team blocking the road at the gate of the city was quickly cleared, and Murong Ke, the commander of the 100,000 Xianbei cavalry, entered the city surrounded by a group of elite cavalry, looking at the Xianbei cavalry who were killing and plundering everywhere in the city, and ordered loudly.
Last night, when Sima Yu led 300,000 Qiang cavalry and Hun cavalry to attack the Qing army camp, Murong Ke also led 100,000 Xianbei cavalry to Da'an County.
In the evening, Murong Ke led the Xianbei cavalry to quietly sneak a few miles away from Da'an County.
After waiting for a break in the middle of the night, an attack was launched on the county seat of Da'an.
"General, the defenders in the city have all been cleared!"
Half an hour later, the battle in Da'an County was over.
In the face of the surprise attack launched by 100,000 Xianbei cavalry, the defenders of Da'an County had no power to resist, when the Xianbei cavalry of the brigade entered the city, the captain of the city gate who defended the city had already led a large number of soldiers defending the city to ask Murong Ke to surrender, and when the Xianbei cavalry of the brigade surrounded the county government, the county commander of Da'an County appointed by the Qing army was still completely confused and had become a prisoner.
"Pass the order, quickly clean up the battlefield, all the soldiers in the army have robbed the people, behead!" Seeing that the war in the city had subsided, Murong Ke immediately ordered.
These steppe cavalry entered the city, and if they were not controlled, they were likely to cause tragedy.
"Whoa!"
A group of Xianbei cavalry generals received orders one after another.
After integrating into China for so long, they naturally know the severity of China's military regulations.
At this point, the last retreat of the Qin army and the Yao Changqiang cavalry completely fell into the hands of Hua.
