Chapter 415: Whose Encirclement
"No."
Someone should follow Liu Ling and lead people from the tunnels in the city into the tunnels leading to the bunkers.
Less than a quarter of an hour after they entered, someone shouted, "They are all alive." All aliveโ"
Hearing the news, tears flowed down Liu Ling's eyes.
She has always been pampered, and she never takes the lives of her subordinates seriously. But now that I heard that those Han soldiers who didn't know each other were not burned to death, they were still alive, I don't know why, her tears just couldn't stop flowing.
"Carry the wounded out and call the best military doctor." Liu Ling shouted loudly regardless of his identity as the county lord.
"Back to the county lord, there are no wounded. Just now we all forgot that when Yan Hou designed these bunkers, he thought that the Huns would attack with fire, so there were partitions to separate water and fire. As soon as these guys saw the Huns pouring fire oil, they had already run out of the bunker. The man who went down laughed and cursed.
"That's good, that's good." Liu Ling said, but there were more tears.
She cried that the bunker designed by Yan Ming was so perfect, but it died at the hands of the Huns' spies.
But the Huns would not give her time to cry, and after a short rest, the Huns seemed to have eased their momentum again. This time, they organized a stronger attack.
All the Huns carried sacks filled with sand. This time, they didn't bother to burn the bunker with fire oil.
They charged with bags on their shoulders. Braving the threat of fire, thunder, and condor, and flintlock pistols. After the men rushed to the vicinity of the bunker, they did not make any unnecessary movements, but threw the bags full of dirt outside the bunker.
Although the Huns died one by one, this method worked.
Their bags of sand and dirt will soon fill a bunker.
The bunker was filled with sand and dirt, so it was naturally sealed, and it was impossible to shoot from the inside.
The Han army in the city didn't expect that even Yan Ming, who was hiding in the dark to observe the war, didn't expect that the Huns would think of this method.
Wrapping the outside of the bunker with sand and earth blocked the shooting hole.
Not to mention, in this way, this pillbox turned out to be a good place for the Huns to hide from shooting.
Yan Ming shook his head, at that time, in order to cooperate with the authenticity. The bunkers he designed were all bunkers, not too high, and the shooting holes were not high, so they would be blocked or even buried by the Huns with sand. If he had designed these bunkers higher, it would have been impossible for the Huns to bury the bunkers now.
This is a lesson that needs to be learned.
When Yan Ming was summing up, the Huns had already begun to advance with the first blockade.
Yan Ming didn't care that they blocked the bunker, his purpose was just to drag down the military minister Shan Yu. Now that the main force of the military minister Shan Yu has not yet arrived, he cannot act rashly.
Liu Ling didn't know this, and the fire and lightning bolt crossbow was launched wildly.
The Xiongnu attacked with numerous casualties.
But their people did not die in vain, and buried the outer bunkers with sand and soil.
In this way, the Han troops hiding in the bunkers all withdrew, went to the city and continued to shoot with flintlock pistols.
This tug-of-war lasted all night, and the Huns made what they thought was great progress. Thousands of people were killed and wounded, but at last half of the bunkers on the periphery were piled up with sand, making them useless.
However, just as dawn came, the tide of the battle changed.
Li Guang and Cheng couldn't hold back the battle here, and their army arrived.
Just like last time, their army frantically pounced on the vanguard of the Huns like a tiger descending on them.
After a night of tossing, the Hun vanguard encountered these two vigorous Han armies, and was naturally defeated. They all retreated.
Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi immediately led the army in pursuit.
At the head of the city, Liu Ling saw that Li Guangcheng did not know how to lead the army to repel the Xiongnu vanguard, and immediately ordered the receipts in the city to go out to clean up the sand bags left by the Xiongnu.
Only by clearing these bags of sand can the bunkers outside come in handy again.
Seeing Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi appear, Wei Qing and Yan Ming were shocked.
The original plan was not like this. Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi should have arrived with the other four-way army, which is perfect.
What Yan Ming and Wei Qing didn't know was that Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi had been waiting for the arrival of Xiongnu Shan Yu.
However, the military ministers were only cautious, and did not be greedy for merit. This makes it difficult for them. The two of them discussed it and decided that the bait in Cloudsdale was not big enough. So they brought their own army and directly besieged the Xiongnu forward troops.
The two of them believed that as long as their forty or fifty thousand horses appeared, the Xiongnu's Shan Yu would definitely regard them as the main force in this war.
At that time, they would chase Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi to the city in the clouds.
Therefore, Li Guang and Cheng did not know that this appearance was also using their own army and life as a gambling bait to lure the Xiongnu Shan Yu.
And it turned out to be exactly what they expected.
When they pursued the Xiongnu vanguard, the military minister Shan Yu thought that the time had come for a decisive battle with the Han army. He immediately ordered an army of 100,000 to march forward.
100,000 horses, in the shape of a crescent moon, outflanked Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi's two armies.
The shape of the crescent moon of the Xiongnu and the city in the clouds behind it are connected to a situation that besieges Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi.
The Xiongnu's military ministers did not have to defeat Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi with the most accurate idea. What he hoped for most was to see Li Guang and Cheng retreat into Cloud City.
Cloudsdale is a small city. If these forty or fifty thousand people retreated into Cloud City, then the city's originally abundant food and grass would be stretched thin in an instant.
When there is nothing to eat, Cloudsdale will not be able to hold on for long, no matter how much it persists.
Xiongnu Shan Yu's mind has never changed. He had only one goal, to take Cloudsdale. As for the army that Li Guang and Cheng didn't know, it was just a pawn in his calculations.
Now, the Xiongnu want this chess piece to enter Cloud City, which has become a major internal friction.
Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi really lived up to their expectations, and really retreated towards Yunzhong City while fighting.
As they retreated to the beneath the city of Cloudsdale, the sturdy gates of Cloudsdale opened. Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi commanded their own army and retreated into Cloud City in an orderly manner.
And the Hun army pursuing behind them did not attack Yunda, but spread out to the left and right, forming an encirclement.
The so-called people to 1,000 can't be counted, and the people to 10,000 are connected. When the number of people reaches 100,000, the earth is torn to the sky.
Now there are 100,000 Hun troops outside the city in the clouds, eyeing the sky.
The Xiongnu's military ministers looked at Yunzhong City and laughed: "It's done, you have fallen into my encirclement." โ
At this time, Yan Ming and Wei Qing were also relieved in the city: "It's done, as long as my Han's army arrives at the designated place on time, this encirclement will be completed." โ
