The twenty-third round of the resumption of the plain army siege of Nanpi
Xue Rengui had already prepared cavalry outside the city, just waiting for the moment when Cao Ren retreated! Although I don't know if Cao Ren will withdraw his troops, he has been preparing the cavalry for more than ten days. As soon as Cao Ren retreated, Xue Rengui immediately chased after him.
Seeing Xue Rengui chasing after him, Cao Ren's heart was very tired. Xue Rengui's tactics are not new, but they are very practical. Cao Ren didn't have anything to do, he had too many troops to take care of it at all, he could only keep the most elite troops and slowly retreat. But he couldn't care about those people, so he could only watch Xue Rengui disperse them, and then chase them down. After retreating to Neihuang, Cao Ren only had 30,000 soldiers.
Cao Ren knew that Neihuang would definitely not be able to defend for too long, so he sent Guo Huai to gather soldiers around and return to Yecheng first.
Sure enough, Xue Rengui led a large army to attack Neihuang in less than three days.
Fortunately, Cao Ren also made some preparations in Neihuang, so he would not be attacked by Xue Rengui in a hurry.
Zhang Yi had just finished working on Huang'er's engagement in Shouchun, and he received the good news from Xue Rengui.
"Congratulations to the host's forces for killing historical celebrities to Bei and Cao Xiu, and summoning historical celebrities Duguxin and Li Daozong."
"Dugu Xin, Force: 92, Strategy: 89, Strategy: 83, Internal Affairs: 79, Education: 85, Diplomacy: 83. Trait: Handsome. ”
"Li Daozong, Force: 94, Strategy: 93, Strategy: 87, Internal Affairs: 85, Education: 78, Diplomacy: 80. Trait: General. ”
After Tang He crossed the river in Gaotang, he first recovered the counties of Pingyuan County. Zhang Liao did not send people to garrison these counties because it was too far away from Nanpi.
Tang and himself walked the plains and attacked the country. Pai Yue flew away from Ande County and attacked West Pingchang, Yanci, Leling, and Banxian to the east. Then attacked Bohai County, Tang He went to Dongguang, Yue Fei went to coincide, and the two joined forces to attack Nanpi.
In Nanpi, Zhang Liao did not defend to the death, but led his troops to set up a large camp in the north of the city. In the west of Nanpi is Zhangshui, and if the camp is set up in the east, it will not get the water source, and if it is located in the south, it will be attacked by Tang He first, and it can only be set up in the north. Zhang Liao himself was stationed in the camp, and Nanpicheng was temporarily handed over to Man Chong and Hu Zhen.
Zhang Liao had an army of 80,000, including 20,000 cavalry, including more than 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry. These Wuhuan cavalry were all forcibly recruited by Cao Pi, and Wuhuan has been under Cao Wei's control since Cao Cao raided the royal court. The Wuhuan people dare not speak out, they are afraid that if they are killed by Cao Pi again, then Wuhuan will be gone.
Wuhuan was at its most powerful in the period when he had 200,000 armor, and now he can only form 350,000 cavalry, and many young people who have just grown up are not as strong as before. However, they can also work without contribution, and they have been stationed here for five years, and they have been herding horses all day long, and occasionally robbing in places such as the Bohai Sea. Zhang Liao was helpless about this, he really wanted to punish these Wuhuan people, but Cao Pi refused to let them, for fear that these Wuhuan people would rebel, and they would lose their military strength before fighting.
After Tang He's army reached Nanpi, Zhang Liao immediately led his cavalry to attack while his foothold was not stable. Zhang Liao let Wuhuan people be the pioneers and directly impact Tang He's military formation.
Tang He asked the soldiers in front of him to line up in a spear formation, set up a bow and crossbow formation behind the spear array, and waited for Wuhuan to rush over, and immediately arrows rained down, and arrows continued to sprinkle among the Wuhuan people. The Wuhuan cavalry immediately flipped on their backs, and many fell off their horses and were trampled to death by their companions.
Where has Wuhuan been attacked like this, even more than ten years ago, when Cao Cao attacked the royal court, he had never encountered such a fierce attack. They were all terrified by the overwhelming number of arrows, and they kept coming in a steady stream, just as if it were raining.
Halfway through the rush, more than 10,000 Wuhuan people fell to four or five thousand, and the Wuhuan people immediately turned around and ran!
Zhang Liao was also stunned, the arrows on Tang He's side were really scary, the arrows kept coming over, and he was scared when he looked at it. Outside the range of Tang Hebu's arrows, Zhang Liao restrained the war horse, and if he rushed in, he would definitely die.
"How can Tang He have so many bows and crossbows?" Zhang Liao looked at these arrows suspiciously, there are not many people who shoot arrows in the soup! How can there be so many arrows?
"That's right! This isn't the legendary repeater, is it? Zhang Liao remembered that there was once a kind of repeating crossbow in the Yongliang area, which was used by Zhang Yijun.
Yes, this is a repeater, and it's an upgraded version. The person who upgraded the repeater was a young man from Fufeng, Ma Jun.
"Ma Jun, Force: 68, Strategy: 70, Strategy: 72, Internal Affairs: 82, Education: 70, Diplomacy: 62. Characteristic: Invention. ”
Ma Jun was one of the most famous inventors in the Three Kingdoms period, and his talent in invention was similar to that of Zhuge Liang. However, unlike Zhuge Liang, who was reused, Ma Jun's talents were not reused.
In the original history, Ma Jun was just a minor official in Luoyang. He invented a new type of weaving machine, and the aya was the silk of the silk silk. Silk silk is a general term for ancient noble cloth, and it is also a basic classification, and the value of this loom can be imagined, and it will surpass the loom in improving people's livelihood.
Ma Jun also restored the guide car and invented the keel rollover on the basis of the overturned car. He even invented a toy that turns a hundred plays into a hundred plays, which is very ornamental.
In the military, Ma Jun improved the trebuchet, turning the trebuchet pulled by man into a trebuchet that relied on gravity. He also improved the Zhuge repeater, the Zhuge repeater can fire ten arrows in a row, and after Ma Jun's improvement, it can fire fifty arrows in a row.
Zhang Yi had already asked people to equip the army with crossbows, but after Ma Jun's improvement, he immediately asked the craftsmen to build a batch and send it to the front line. Tang He got the first batch here, after all, Tang He was a veteran figure, he was even older than Xue Rengui's qualifications, not to mention Su Lie and Wei Rui.
Five thousand new-style repeaters quickly defeated the Wuhuan people. Tang He couldn't help but have a great confidence in these new crossbows, and he moved the army to Zhang Liao's cavalry team, which frightened Zhang Liao into retreating.
Zhang Liao returned to the camp, but found that the Wuhuan people had not returned to the camp and were missing.
Zhang Liao hurriedly sent someone to look for him, and in the evening, someone came to report, "The Wuhuan people fled north, as if they were going to return to the outside of the Saiwai." ”
"I know these guys can't be trusted!" Zhang Liao said helplessly.
As soon as the battle began, there were more than 10,000 cavalry, and Zhang Liao was also very injured. It doesn't matter if they ran away, now the morale in the camp is low and they need to rest before they can fight again. What a mistake! Blunder! Zhang Liao is also remorseful, he would not attack if he knew it, and it would be good to defend Nanpi. But he was also rejoicing, fortunately, it was obvious that the Wuhuan people had taken the lead, and if he had taken the lead, he might have died.
