Chapter 244: Drinking Horse Black Water

The Nine Divisions of the Black Water Sect are the only ones who live in the upper reaches of the Black Water Sect, and the people of the Black Water Tribes are the most prosperous and powerful, so their tribe Meng'an was promoted to be the leader of the Black Water Tribes Alliance more than fifty years ago, and the title is Bo Jilie.

In the past 50 years, the strength of the Heishui Department has not been as strong as more than 50 years ago, and the tribes have not elected their tribe Meng'an as the leader of the tribe, so the leader of the Heishui Tribal Alliance, Bo Jilie, has been in a state of absence.

Although Meng'an of the Heishui Department is not the leader of the tribal alliance, he still has a certain influence on the various departments, which is also why A Shimu was able to organize the three tribes of Tieli, Simu, and Yuexi to form a four-part coalition to defeat Wang Hu, who has unknown circumstances.

However, with the defeat of the battle, Shimuyuan hoped to take advantage of the opportunity of the Tang people to attack the Yuexi Department and the Yuexi Department to ask for help, and organized the four coalition forces to defeat the Tang people, intending to seize the grain, iron tools and other materials of the Tang people in the cities of Meituo Lake, and plunder the victory of the Tang people as slaves. The desire to re-establish the prestige of the Black Water Department among the Black Water Tribes, ascend to the leader of the tribal alliance, and obtain the title of Bo Ji Lie has become a thing of the past.

The trophies of this battle, in addition to the more than 1,000 weapons and armor captured by the Tang people in the field battle, were only the hundreds of Tang people captured in the area of Meituo Lake, and the results were far less than the casualties of the four sons and the loss of grain stocks.

More than 3,000 people were killed and wounded before and after the four tribes, and the rations and livestock accumulated for the winter were almost exhausted. On the way to retreat, the first thing the people of the four tribes talked about was to go to the river to dig ice and fish after returning to the clan.

As the initiator of this war with the Tang people, Ah Shimu undoubtedly took on the resentment of the people of the four tribes, and there were many people behind his back who cursed Ah Shimu for being incompetent and as stupid as a pig.

As supporters of the war initiated by Ashini, Meng'an and Mouke of the other three tribes were resented and ridiculed by the clansmen in the clan. So much so that when the four Meng'an and Mook gathered for a meeting, they vented their grievances in the clan to Ah Shimu without concealing it.

Ah Shimu's prestige among the various ministries plummeted, and the Mooks in the Heishui Ministry were also resentful of Ah Shimu, blaming him for being too hasty in his war against the Tang people.

On the way to retreat, the morale of the four coalition troops of the Yan Dynasty was low and their will was depressed, and there were many discussions about the outcome of the attack on the Tang people, and they were all sad about the hard life of returning to the clan.

Ah Shimu was anxious in his eyes, thousands of elite soldiers of the Tang people were still behind him, maybe they would follow and kill, how could the four warriors resist without fighting spirit?

To obtain a little compensation for this almost unsuccessful expedition, and also to stimulate the morale of the warriors and appease their resentment against themselves. Ah Shimu summoned the three Meng'an and a group of Mok to discuss attacking the under-defended Huwei County, seizing the grain and grass in the city to make up for the expenses incurred by the four troops since the expedition, and then breaking through Meidong County on the way back after breaking Huwei County.

A group of Meng'an and Mouke discussed it and felt that it was feasible. There are still more than 5,000 troops left in the four divisions that can't break through Chaonan City, and it is impossible to even break through small cities like Huwei and Mae Dong.

The warriors of the four tribes were not willing to return to the clan in such a gray way, running around for food in the heavy snow. In the shouts and cheers of the various Meng'an and Mouke, more than 5,000 people burst out with strong morale and roared towards Huwei County.

It was Liu Ji, who had been incorporated into Xuanwuwei since Wang Hu's Eastern Expedition, and his headquarters was composed of 200 people in a regiment.

The sentinel cavalry reported that the retreating people suddenly turned their heads and rushed towards Huwei County, Liu Ji was frightened and hurriedly arranged for the whole army to defend the city, and mobilized more than 5,000 people in the city to prepare to roll wood and stones to wait solemnly.

Due to the suddenness of the invasion of the Governor's Mansion of Mae Tuo Lake, there was not much defense in the city, and even if the Men who had been harassing outside the city retreated a few days ago, the city did not move enough rolling wood and stones from outside the city for a while.

For this reason, Liu Ji ordered the demolition of the newly built houses in the city, and took the beams of the houses to use as rolling logs on the city wall.

However, after a few hours, the black-pressed people went straight to Huwei County, surrounded the small county town, and only stopped outside the city for half an hour, using simple siege tools to start the siege.

"Shoot the arrows."

The people rushed to the city wall, and Liu Ji gave an order, and the arrows on the city were fired in unison, instantly shooting down dozens of people from the city.

Thousands of arrows of bone arrows shot at the soldiers and civilians defending the city, suppressing the Tang army in the city, and hundreds of people without armor fell to the ground and wailed.

Fortunately, there were not a few iron arrows, and the pull of the bow was not as strong as the compound bow in the hands of the Tang army. On a snowy day, the people were wrapped in a thick body, and even if the clothes were pierced by the arrows of the Ya people, except for dozens of unlucky people, most of them were not seriously injured.

The people of the Yan used simple ladders made of ropes and wood to build on the city walls, and they scrambled to climb the ladders one by one. The Tang army and the people in the city hurriedly lifted the rolling wood and stones and smashed them down, and some people held poles to knock down the ladder that was erected on the city.

Each ladder was knocked down by the Tang soldiers and civilians in the city, and seven or eight people on the ladder screamed and smashed into the crowd under the city.

There is no technical content in the siege of the city, and the people of the Ant-Wing are self-taught. But the ant-attached siege has long been proven to be the worst and inferior siege method by human warfare for thousands of years. Ten times the strength of the siege of the city, the army and the people in the city of Nuo are united, in addition to increasing their own casualties, they can only look at the city and sigh.

One day of storming Huwei City, the Yan people suffered more than 800 casualties and failed to break into the city, and several dangerous attacks on the city were also driven out of the city by the Tang army and civilians.

……

After the siege of Chaonan County was lifted, Cheng Boxian entered the city to catch up with Wang Hu, and the whole army went out of the city after repairing in the city for half a day and followed the retreating Tatar people, looking for fighters with the intention of inflicting heavy damage on the Tatar people in one fell swoop.

"Report!" Zao Yi sent out to stare at the sentry cavalry of the Tatar people galloped with a whip, "General Yu, the Tatar people turned to attack Huwei City halfway, and the onslaught did not stop, the fierce battle under the city was in full swing, and Liu Ji, the defender of the city, sent an envoy to ask for help. ”

Cheng Boxian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It seems that the thief is not dead, and he will have to fight the autumn wind halfway when he is defeated." ”

He then ordered the whole army to speed up, intending to take advantage of the siege of the city by attacking the city and defeat them from behind.

But when Cheng Boxian led the army to Huwei City, the people who couldn't capture the city had already gone east with a disappointed camp.

Cheng Boxian had no choice but to lead the army to continue to chase in the direction where the people left, leaving the soldiers and civilians cheering when they saw the arrival of reinforcements in Huwei City.

Knowing that the Tang army reinforcements had been following behind, the Tang people were really interested in defending the city, and the warriors of the four divisions paid huge casualties and failed to break through the small city of Huwei, resulting in a further decline in morale. Ah Shimu had no choice but to give up attacking Meidong County on the way back to the east, and led more than 4,000 dejected warriors of the four tribes to rush through Meidong City, and speed up the pace to rush back to the clan.

The sentinel cavalry continued to return, and the people of the Yan Dynasty accelerated the speed of the march, and Cheng Boxian said to the generals with a big smile: "The people of the Yan Dynasty have lost their fighting spirit, and it is a good time for us to repay the merits of the country. ”
