Chapter 117: Building the Three Surrendered Cities 7
Early the next morning, Wu Yanzhi set off with his 3,000 cavalry combat team. He had sent to inform General Ademai that he would hand over 2,000 cavalry to a lieutenant of the Commander.
As soon as he came out of the city of the Middle Surrender, he met Antaomai.
Wu Yanzhi informed An Daomai of his arrangements for the battle. After listening to the arrangement, General Na'an was also extremely impressed: "This arrangement is excellent!" At least you can be invincible. However, Wu Dashuai, the enemy is very powerful, you must be more careful! ”
"I know, you have to be careful, too. If the enemy comes to attack the surrendered city, I will cover it from behind. And vice versa, if they come to attack the soldiers who are building the beacon tower, General An will also bring 2,000 cavalry, and when we are deadlocked, they will intercept and kill them from behind, and they will succeed in one fell swoop. Plus, you can adapt to the situation on the battlefield! ”
"Subordinates obey!"
Then the soldier Cao supervised the delivery of the team, signed and signed, and the two separated.
……
The head of the ox was eighty miles north of the city of the middle of the mountain.
There is a guide to lead Wu Yanzhi and Yang Siqiao to inspect the nearby terrain in detail. Wu Yanzhi took the two Sima who led the construction of the beacon tower to inspect it together.
and told them about the situation, and finally decided that Wu Yanzhi would send two teams of a total of 100 cavalry to be responsible for the vigilance. Its main cavalry was ambushed in the Baiyun Valley in the east.
The infantry who built the beacon tower was in a dangerous place anyway, so they gathered in groups of 500 people, condescendingly, and defended it with wood and bows and arrows.
If the enemy's cavalry came to attack, they would hold out for at least an hour, and if they could not hold on, they would retreat into the mountains.
……
Two days later, the cavalry of the same Otler was stationed fifty miles on the east side of the Niutou Chaona Mountain, a hundred and twenty miles away from the surrendered city, and the cavalry arrived in a few hours.
"Second Prince, the Ranger Ahead. That Wu Yanzhi was very cunning, and had already sent people to occupy the Broken Soul Ridge next to Huyan Valley. The road from the south to the western city has been blocked.
In addition, according to reliable information, Ademai was heavily defended by the surrendered city. Wu Yanzhi had already rushed to the West Surrender City to defend. ”
What the? His two commanders actually divided their troops to defend two cities?
Looking at Otler, this is a bit difficult to do! In particular, after the occupation of Huyan Valley, the southern road has been blocked. The only way to do this was to march from the northern province. However, it is no longer realistic to march troops from the north and attack the surrendered cities in the west, and logistics supply is a big problem, and if you don't do it, you will be attacked by the enemy.
Suddenly, an idea came to me! Or the troops who attacked him to build the beacon tower! I heard that there were 2,000 people there, and it was a great thing to slaughter them all.
Thinking of this, he said to Otler: "Silugu, you take 5,000 men and launch a tentative attack on the defenders of Huyan Valley tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we will retreat, and together we will attack the soldiers who have built a beacon tower against the mountain, and strive to behead them all. ”
"Yes!" Silugu replied. This Silugu is in his thirties, eight feet tall, and very brave.
At noon on the second day, this Silugu led 5,000 cavalry and arrived at the foot of the Broken Soul Ridge in Huyan Valley.
The guard general, Li Quanyi, had already received the report from the sentinel, so he strengthened his vigilance.
Seeing the Turkic soldiers swarming like locusts at the foot of the mountain, Li Quanyi was not nervous at all. He said to the lieutenant beside him: "The first three rows of shield soldiers are in formation, and when they are within twenty zhang, they will first use the javelins we prepared a few days ago to project.
After the javelin is projected, shoot with the bow and crossbow. No one is allowed to retreat without approval, and those who violate the order are immediately beheaded. ”
General Li Quanyi used the small wood on the mountain to make countless javelins. This thing is thrown from top to bottom, and it is more powerful than a bow and arrow.
Not only that, but according to Wu Yanzhi's arrangement, he dug countless small pits more than two feet deep in the ground and used them as trap pits, covering them with grass.
The role of this trap should not be underestimated. This is not immediately apparent!
I saw those cavalry swarming up, and many of the cavalry's horse legs had fallen into the pit and couldn't get out for a while. There were also some cavalrymen in the back who were stumped!
When he saw it, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and beat the drum!" Throw the javelin! ”
As soon as the words fell, a huge drum sounded, and I saw a hundred soldiers who had already prepared in the front row, raise the javelins in their hands and throw them!
Then a second row of a hundred soldiers threw their javelins.
But where the javelin fell, twenty or thirty men and horses were immediately struck by the javelin.
Li Quanyi saw that the effect of this thing was not bad, so he said: "Hurry up and cast it for me, all the hundreds of soldiers who are charging will be slaughtered for me." ”
Of course, the javelin was limited, only a few thousand words, and it took a moment to throw it all.
Li Quanyi looked closely, at least seventy or eighty soldiers were killed or seriously injured by transmission, and more than 100 were slightly injured.
It works pretty well! Li Quanyi ordered: "Prepare for the enemy's second charge, the crossbowmen are ready, and the shield soldiers must be covered." Then the water was ready, and I saw that the enemy was going to launch a fire attack, and everyone wet their clothes and covered their mouths and noses. ”
When Na Silugu saw it, he stomped his feet angrily: "Damn, there are too many horse pits, densely packed everywhere." Bring me another five hundred cavalry, and throw me pine branches and oiled hay, and burn his wooden fence for me. If anyone cowers, my own soldiers will shoot him immediately. ”
So Gu Duoli ordered 500 people, took pine branches and torches, and rushed to the mountain with their lives! Since most of the craters had been trampled down, more than 200 people were soon thrown out of the fence with the lighted pine resin and torches.
Soon, smoke filled the outside of the wooden fence, and the smoke naturally blew up the mountain. Li Quanyi saw that these enemies were also powerful, but fortunately he had been prepared.
So he arranged for everyone to cover their mouths and noses with the sackcloth, wet water, and shoot indiscriminately with bows and arrows and crossbows, and the approaching enemy had been shot down countless times, and more than a hundred corpses and horses were left on the scene.
Silugu thundered and launched four or five more charges in succession, but each time he was shot back with a bow and arrow. That's seven or eight hundred casualties!
Where can such casualties be sustained? These are all Turkic elite cavalry, and attacking fortifications is definitely not a strong point!
Hey, forget it! The second prince didn't ask for it to be captured, so let's retreat, how could it be possible to fight like this again?
"Mingjin retreats!" As soon as Silugu gave the order, the big gong sounded, and the attacking Turkic soldiers retreated.
"Hurry up and put out the fire for me!" Li Quanyi saw that the Turkic soldiers had retreated, and immediately ordered the lieutenants around him to organize people to extinguish the fire. I set up several layers of antlers, and the first layer of antlers has not been burned yet, and it has little impact on my own line.
