Chapter 336: Breakout
The next day, sure enough, the Xiongnu did not attack immediately, but surrounded the city, but did not launch an attack for a long time.
Now the Xiongnu can't figure out how many people are in the city and how many defenses there are.
Bashuer's face was gloomy, this city had already made him suffocate several times, and he couldn't bear it anymore, but he had to face the reality and didn't dare to attack rashly.
"General Guan, I'm afraid the Huns won't attack." Gongsun Du was a little happy, although it was an empty city, it was also very important to be able to hold it.
Guan Yu didn't know the situation, and he didn't want to spend it with the Huns, all he consumed was the potential of Liaodong.
Regardless of whether the Huns want to attack or not, they have made sufficient preparations this time, and the task of blocking for three days can be easily completed, Guan Yu has made an appointment with Tai Shici to break through at night, and if the Huns do not attack, then let the soldiers rest well.
Ye Chen received the news early in the morning, and he was very happy, he had pit more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and in total, the Huns now had about 8,000 soldiers and horses.
The previous 15,000 soldiers and horses were too strong, and although Ye Chen had made all the preparations, the enemy's strength was too strong, and it was easy to have accidents.
Now, it was the third day, and Ye Chen was also a little nervous, so he carefully checked the ambush situation again.
On this day, the Huns continued to attack Linyu City, but they didn't dare to be so crazy, the cavalry moved on the horse to shoot arrows, and the cavalry archery was not much difficult for them, although the accuracy decreased, but it was much safer.
At the head of the city, Guan Yu just ordered to defend well, and did not launch a strong counterattack.
"General, depending on how many defenders there are in the city?" Basher's men said.
Bashuer also observed it, because the defense of the city was obviously insufficient, but he was not sure if it was another conspiracy.
Guan Yu really doesn't have much defense power in his hands, yesterday he lost more than 3,000 horses, and almost all the strong men were filled in, and now he only has less than 3,000 people, and he divides these people into four city walls, so it seems that the defense force is really insufficient.
Bashuer didn't dare to rush into the attack, and Guan Yu was also happy, just enough to let the soldiers rest and rest, and break through at night.
A day passed, and after this day of fighting, more than 300 people were killed on both sides, and it can be said that the battle was not fierce at all, and it was completely incomparable with the previous two days.
"General, let me lead the troops to attack tomorrow, and I will definitely find out the reality of the other party for the general." One of Basher's men said.
Bashuer nodded approvingly, he was very depressed today, and he was very unhappy, which made him almost unbearable, but he was afraid that he would be yin by the other party again.
"When we attack tomorrow, we will only attack three city walls, which is the strategy of the Han people, so that they will not defend it. And two main attacks, one way feint. Bashuer said with a look of victory.
"The general is wise, and he actually knows the art of war of the Han people."
"Yes, adults are the pride of our grassland."
Bashur's men were afraid that he would be angry again, so they flattered him and complimented him.
Bashuer also felt that he was very powerful when he heard it, it was not that he couldn't do it before, but that the other party used a strategy, and now he has also used a strategy, so the city is in front of him.
This Bashuer can be the right general, in addition to being extremely brave, he is very loyal to the king of Zuoxian, and as for the strategy, it is really not his forte, or he can't do it at all.
However, his intuition for war is very strong, and his control of the battlefield is also very good, but it was in the grassland, before he invaded the Han Dynasty, he had not attacked the city at all, and now let him attack the city, except for the onslaught accident, he really didn't have much to pay attention to.
I barely heard the plan from others, and I don't know if it will work.
The night slowly deepened, and the battlefield quieted down.
"General Guan, the enemy is strong, we can still resist it with the city, if we break through and the enemy chases, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape." Guan Yu had already ordered to prepare for a breakthrough, and Gongsun Du hurried over when he heard it.
"General Gongsun, it is imperative to break through the siege, continue to defend the city, and when the enemy finds out that we are not many, he will inevitably attack fiercely, although we can block it for a few more days, but there is no need to make such a senseless sacrifice."
Guan Yu's tone was firm, the breakthrough was an established plan, and he would not change it.
Gongsun Du also knew that what Guan Yu said was reasonable, it was indeed difficult for his side to hold the city, at least without reinforcements, he could only hold it for a few more days, but the current situation was not bad, so he was really unwilling to give up like this.
"General Guan, although we all have horses, many of us have never ridden a horse, and we can't outrun the Hun cavalry on horseback since childhood."
"General Gongsun, don't worry, we have arranged someone to respond, just break through with me." Guan Yu didn't explain too much.
Gongsun Du didn't insist anymore, there are now about 500 soldiers left under his command, if Guan Yu wants them to leave, how can they stay, that is to find death.
The people in Linyu City began to gather, Guan Yu and Tai Shici broke through when they met for Zishi, and now that the time is approaching, some of the Hun soldiers outside have already fallen asleep.
"Let's go." The city gate opened, Guan Yu was the first to come out, the big knife in his hand glowed with cold light, whoever dared to block it would inevitably suffer his thunderous blow.
Gongsun Du followed, and the soldiers behind also rushed out.
"Rush."
Guan Yu led the team quietly forward, walked more than 200 meters, and after being discovered by the Huns, Guan Yu decisively led his troops to rush up.
"Enemy attack."
At the same time, the Xiongnu discovered Guan Yu and their team, shouted, and the Xiongnu soldiers on duty at night rushed to support.
"Kill." Guan Yu took the lead and rushed forward, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife split an oncoming Hun soldier in half with an oblique slash.
Gongsun Du also held a spear, pulled a spear, stabbed forward, and stabbed the other party into a transparent hole.
The soldiers behind also attacked, they first launched a round of arrows with the bows and arrows in their hands, and it was difficult for the Hun soldiers to dodge the arrows in the dark, and a batch fell in an instant.
At this time, the cavalry began to charge, and Guan Yu had already rushed outside their camp tents, and they could rush out through these camp tents.
However, at this time, many Huns also rushed out of the camp, and some of them rushed out without even wearing clothes and with weapons in their hands.
"Drink!" The big knife in Guan Yu's hand swept through the thousands of troops, and chopped a few Hun soldiers who had just run out of the tent and didn't know the situation.
"General, the general is not good, the Han army is attacking the camp." In the camp on the other side, a soldier ran over to report to Bashur.
Bashur had already heard the shouts of killing, and was getting dressed and trying to walk out of the tent with his weapon in hand.
"Gather the team immediately and kill these Han dogs with me." Bashuer was furious, feeling that he was being bullied by this group of Han soldiers one after another.
