Chapter 370: Xianbei Attacks Jilusai

Among Liu Fan's personal guards, those who are outstanding, both civil and military, will be sent out to appoint Sima.

Su Che had already gone from Sima to lieutenant.

Su Che's implication also reminded Guan Yu that there was not much time left for them, if they didn't send troops to prepare earlier. A thousand cavalry in the north alone was of no use.

Seven thousand cavalry against thirty thousand, there is a great disadvantage, but fortunately there are 1,000 heavy armored cavalry among them.

The five thousand dragon horses under the command of Zhao Yun, the general of Long Xiang, are all swordsmen into an army, and they have been trained for many years, and they are good at riding and shooting. The charge is also very brave.

Only when these armies are united and applied can they have a chance of victory.

"Zilong's dragon cavalry is stationed in the surrendered city, hundreds of miles away from Gaoque Fortress, if it is support, it should be able to come in time, but Zilong is responsible for guarding the border, and there are probably variables when he leaves, so he can't ask for it."

Although he knew that Zhao Yun's Long Xiang rode to Shuofang and had a good chance of resisting Xianbei's attack, Guan Yu did not plan to send Zhao Yun to support.

Zhao Yun shook the frontier, and the northern aliens only dared to look south, but did not dare to go south, because Zhao Yun was in charge.

The central Xianbei has been shattered, but there are still many remnants scattered in the north, and if they are combined with others, there are few twenty or thirty thousand control strings.

Ke Shi, Que Ju, Murong and other departments added more.

It's just that they are afraid of the might of the Han army and dare not go south to herd horses.

When the generals heard this, it made sense. The troops are overstretched, and they cannot cover everything.

The idea of looking ahead and looking backward and taking care of one thing and losing the other, as a general, cannot be generated.

"I personally led the Yinshan Iron Cavalry to block the 30,000 Xianbei cavalry in the north. 5,000 soldiers were stationed in Jilusai and 4,000 soldiers were stationed in Gaoquesai. Defend the fortress. In the end, Guan Yu gave his own order.

"There are only too few iron cavalry in Yinshan, and at such a critical juncture, the soldiers should be evenly used. The humble position believed that it was enough to garrison 2,000 garrisons in Gaoque and Jilusai. The rest of the cavalry followed the general to intercept the Xianbei army. ”

Yisi got up and bowed to Guan Yu.

"Nope. I will transfer the 1,000 cavalry guarding the north of Shuofang to Gaoque City. The heavy cavalry under Zhou Cang's command stayed in Jilusai. I only need 3,000 Yin Mountain iron horses. ”

Guan Yu's eyes were firm, and he shook his head and refused. Only by making dangerous moves can he win, and he already has a bold plan in his heart.

"No! The general is the chief general of an army, how can he risk his life. ”

The congregation will rise up and exhort. Although the Yinshan Iron Cavalry is brave, it is only 3,000.

If it is 10,000 Xianbei cavalry, the Yinshan Iron Cavalry may be able to easily break it, but it will face 30,000 cavalry.

The cavalry can be ten with one, and perhaps this can be done by the personal guard of the hussar general.

Yinshan Iron Cavalry, Dragon Xiang Cavalry, Trapping Camp, and Modao Army are all the elite of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Fan's personal guards were mainly selected from these people, and Liu Fan guided the training, and he was the elite of the elite.

Because Liu Fan likes to charge into battle and drive morale. Protect with elite soldiers and complement each other.

The Han Dynasty belongs to the fire virtue, and the phoenix is not the dragon, which can be seen from the Western Han Dynasty Jianzhang Palace, the Eastern Han Dynasty South Palace, and the phoenix is not carved dragon.

Therefore, the army called Liu Fan's personal guard "Dragon Sparrow", but Liu Fan forbade the use of his name.

The dragon sparrow is a type of phoenix. It is not as gorgeous as the phoenix, but it is the most ferocious of the phoenix, it represents killing, it represents the strongest.

When it was young, it was like an ordinary water bird, and when it became an adult, it spread its overwhelming black wings, and the sun, moon and stars were obscured.

The dragon bird is the god of wind in the myths and legends of the Qin and Han dynasties, Fei Lian.

Fei Lian was the ancestor of Qin Zhao during the Warring States period.

The spirit of the dragon bird can only be understood, not spoken.

No one can say what the dragon bird spirit is. Maybe it's all in people's mouths, maybe it's not.

The dragon finch meanders, and the heavenly horse is half a man. The dragon bird is one of the most noble displays in the palace. How could Liu Fan do such a disrespectful thing?

"Military orders are like mountains, and they must not be violated! Wait until you guard this chicken deer plug and high que stopper. After Shuo Fang Taishou responded, he discussed all matters. Maybe Shuo Fang Taishou has a strategy to break the enemy. Guan Yu held the sword in his hand and turned around to drink the generals strictly.

Zhou Cang wanted to ask Ling to be with Guan Yu, but after hearing Guan Yu's stern drink, he was unwilling to give up.

After the order was decided, Guan Yu led Su Che and three thousand Yinshan iron horsemen from Jilusai to the north of Shuofang. Everyone has one person and three horses.

At noon, Zhi Luoluo led 20,000 Xianbei cavalry to Jilusai.

One of the throat fortresses that passes through the Wolf Mountain, the city is built on the cliff, and it is all made of stone. It stands in a square shape on the west side of the canyon.

After Luo Luo arrived at Jilusai, he made siege ladders and siege trees on one side. On the one hand, two hundred men were sent to challenge the Han army.

The Han army did not respond to the battle, but mainly defended the city.

Being at a disadvantage, let it go, and go out of the city to challenge, unless their brains are in water.

The Han army did not go to war, and he thought that the Han army did not have many defenders in the chicken deer fortress, and he was afraid of them. In the afternoon, a tentative attack was launched on the chicken deer stopper.

The chicken deer plug also has a huge advantage over the defenders, that is, the plug mouth is in the shape of the urn city in later generations, the width is only more than 20 zhang, the height is more than four zhang, and the thickness of the city wall is more than two zhang.

This shows that it is impossible for the Xianbei cavalry to launch a scale of more than 1,000 people when attacking the city.

If you want to climb the mountain wall, it is a fool's dream, and the whole wall is more than ten zhang high.

Standing on the city wall, you can see all the dead corners under the city, and it is very easy to defend.

"Sons, there are only a few hundred people in the Han army city, and if you take the chicken and deer plug in one go, the first credit belongs to us, money, beauty, power, everything." Before the siege of the city, he only relied on speculation and nonsense to boost morale.

"Break the chicken deer stopper! Capture the Han barbarian Liu Fan alive and behead the red-faced Guan Yu! ”

The Xianbei soldiers in the west were agitated by the shackles and shouted.

More than 500 Xianbei soldiers in iron armor carried siege trees and rushed forward with shouts.

There were more than 500 Xianbei archers behind him.

On the city wall of the Han army, shields, boulders, rolling logs, heavy crossbows, bows and arrows and other equipment for defending the city are readily available.

Seeing the menacing attack of the Xianbei soldiers, Zhou Cang was not to be outdone, he stood at the head of the city and shouted: "The ants still want to shake the mountains? The hussar general's reinforcements have been sent, and from then on, they will pull out their foundations and drive them back to Mobei. ”

"Invincible! The Han army will win! ”

"Criminals! Even if it is far away, it will be punished! ”

The nearly 1,000 Han soldiers on the city wall who performed their duties were encouraged and full of confidence.

The world is fortified, and 5,000 armor soldiers are guarded. Even with 20,000, he dared to attack, and the grasshopper shook the tree, and he couldn't measure himself.

The Xianbei cavalry carrying the siege ladder had not yet reached the gate of Jilu Jam, and Zhou Cang ordered the soldiers to gravitate the crossbow on the bed set up on the city wall.

Ten strong men struggled to turn the winch of a bed crossbow.

There were ten bed crossbows on the city walls, each with five arrows on it.

The arrows used are made of wood, the iron feathers, and the blades of the spears.

The big Han bed crossbow can shoot 500 paces away, as long as it is shot, no matter what heavy armor anyone wears, he will definitely die.
