Five hundred and twenty-six are not afraid of swords and ghosts
Liu Zhang didn't immediately feel that these people were convinced of himself, and the thing of casting a name was always needed. If they slaughtered their own people, then they really couldn't go back, and naturally they could be adopted and used. Although there are not many war horses here, they are enough for more than half of the cavalry.
Following Liu Zhang's words, these people knelt down one by one, and there were words in their mouths. With Liu Zhang's two lieutenants under his command, these people also went to the city to retrieve their weapons. It's getting late today, so we'll be able to send troops tomorrow. Liu Zhang's army was only stationed outside the city, and did not enter the city at all.
The surplus food in the city was enough for these people to use for a long time, and Liu Zhang's army also had enough meat to replenish. After resting for the night, the next morning, Liu Zhang's army was reorganized, and the Huns came out lazily and lazily on horseback. Compared to Liu Zhang's army, it is really a bit loose in nature.
However, Liu Zhang would not rush them, and after waiting for a while to see that it was almost over, Liu Zhang said: "Rush to Jiuyuan this morning, there must be heavy guards there, and you are responsible for dealing with the cavalry." If you defeat the enemy's cavalry, yesterday's words will be fulfilled. Let's go now...... "With Liu Zhang's words, these people ran towards the front one by one with a scream, what kind of army did it look like.
Jiuyuan is already the hinterland, and after this, it is the capital of Gohara County. If Liu Zhang occupied this place, these Southern Huns could only go to Xianbei territory, and at that time there would inevitably be killings because of land and grazing problems. Originally defeated in the battle to compete with the Xianbei people, these Southern Huns will be annexed sooner or later. Without the backer of the Han Dynasty, their Southern Xiongnu is really not enough to dominate here.
Along the way, these Huns seemed very excited, and Liu Zhang had no idea why they were so excited. In Liu Zhang's opinion, this is a disease, but in general, they can be excited to kill their own people, which is good in Liu Zhang's opinion: "Why are they so excited? Liu Zhang still couldn't help but ask the guide beside him, which made Liu Zhang a little depressed.
The guide said honestly: "Because the general is strong, the Huns worship the strong." The general's weapons were terrible, even more terrible than the thunder in the sky. "The guide is also a Han from the border, and he understands the situation here. For the aliens, they worship the strong. Wanbang came to the dynasty, probably because the Tang Dynasty was too powerful.
This made Liu Zhang very temperamental, this kind of big truth is really good. Liu Zhang was in a good mood all the way, and rushed forward with a large number of cavalry. At noon, Liu Zhang had already vaguely seen the dilapidated city, and at the same time saw the other party's cavalry sentry.
"Stop and rest, get ready to fight." Although it is not known when the enemy will attack, it seems that they are still not fighting a field battle with themselves, but relying on the city to defend.
After Liu Zhang's order was handed down, the soldiers stopped one by one. But the Huns in front saw the other party's cavalry, and rushed forward directly with a roar, so scattered and undisciplined Liu Zhang was very headache. However, their charge made the cavalry outside the other side of the city a little panicked, they didn't know why these "own people" would kill them, and they didn't know whether they should defend against the enemy. By the time they could react, the sword was already in front of them.
On the city wall, Liu Zhang saw Yu Fu Luohuyan and Qiu Ye beside him, but he didn't expect that he was actually guarding the city here? Liu Zhang looked at Huyan on the city wall carefully, and he was also looking at himself. Liu Zhang waved his hand, and Zhang Ren's side immediately began to prepare for the siege. When Yu Fuluo saw Liu Zhang's formation here, he immediately shrank back. Others don't know how powerful this weapon is, but he understands it very well.
Liu Zhang didn't want to talk to Hu Yan, if only he had the heart to open the city gate directly, but his behavior had already shown that he didn't have any intention of surrendering. Liu Zhang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, as for Qiu Ye, Liu Zhang didn't know what he was thinking, this time unless he killed Hu Yan, Liu Zhang would not believe him anymore. Liu Zhang just looks at what these people have done, as long as there is an accident, Liu Zhang will remember, and he will be wary of the next reuse or something.
The cavalry far away in Furohuyan had already clashed with the Huns before them, and the long knives lent to these cavalrymen were particularly sharp, especially when they cut their own people. A single knife is a person who dies, and there are a lot of corpses in both halves, as for the soldiers on the city tower have been hiding, how many soldiers there are Liu Zhang doesn't know, but Liu Zhang knows that most of the soldiers here are Huyan's soldiers.
The cavalry confrontation made these people fight extremely fiercely because Liu Zhang gave them new weapons. Sure enough, when dealing with people and things they were familiar with, these people showed their murderous side. However, this is a good thing for Liu Zhang, it will be good for them to live in the frontier in the future, and if the descendants have outstanding ones, they will be sent inland.
When the habitual distraction, the city gate seems to have been blown open, and there are broken stones and spiked wood behind the city gate. But is this small trick useful? The wooden horse rejection was originally intended to deal with the cavalry of the alien race, but now it has actually turned into a weapon against itself?
"Lord, this is a damn ......" Zhang Ren looked at everything in the distant city, although this did not pose a threat to his side. But that's what makes people feel even more disgusting, and after understanding it, they actually use it to deal with themselves? Didn't he know how terrible he was, and really thought that he would be safe in this way?
Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Let's see what the situation is saying, what about Qiu Ye?" "What made Liu Zhang depressed was Qiu Ye, this person killed the previous leader, it shouldn't be like this?
Zhang Ren said: "Hu Yan's rebellious thoughts came from Qiu Ye, but in the end, he rarely sent out information, as for the specific reason, it may be that Hu Yan suspects him." When the lord broke the city, he was arrested and inquired. However, it is still necessary to beware of the minds of these people...... "Zhang Ren felt that if Qiu Ye betrayed Liu Zhang, then it was very likely that Jing Ke would stage an assassination of King Qin. I remember that when Liu Bei entered Shu in later generations, Wei Yan had the intention of assassinating Liu Zhang, but Zhang Ren interrupted Wei Yan's thoughts.
Liu Zhang nodded and said, "You still have to be careful about this, wouldn't it be embarrassing to hide a dagger?" "Liu Zhang can't say that he doesn't have the power to bind chickens, but for these generals, it can really be said that he is still a child.
As the gates were breached, the cavalry on the other side also rushed over. Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao rushed over directly, and the original Huns intercepted some of them, and the rest were only a few thousand people. According to a rough estimate, there should be more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in this city. Then there should be about 70,000 in Wuyuan. This is already all the men and horses of the Huns, if all these young strong forces are dead, then the Huns can already be finished.
Life on the grassland is definitely not as good as imagined, even if the materials are so abundant in later generations, life on the grassland is not easy. The pressure of survival in this era is too great, and any accident can make people die. As long as Liu Zhang defeated Hu Chuquan, he could plunder these Xiongnu people in large numbers.
Liu Zhang didn't know how the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns and dealt with the people here, but Liu Zhang would definitely arrest and reform through labor. I'm not a genius now, so there's no need to talk about so many rules. In the future, if any etiquette official dares to jump out, Liu Zhang slapped them all and flew away. When you really reach the top, then there will be no such people to disgust yourself.
Thinking of the later generations when Liu Bei attacked Eastern Wu, and when Yuan Shao attacked Cao Cao, those people who would only talk about ministers and other people who sued for peace, Liu Zhang couldn't wait to slap this group of people to death. People below the third grade and less than 1,000 can do their own things, don't add to the blockage of others all day long.
The gates were breached, artillery fire was pushed inside, and mortars were fired at the back of the city. A thousand infantrymen armed with short crossbows and carrying shields entered the city. There must have been ambushes in the city, and shields were effective against bows and arrows. In fact, as Liu Zhang expected, as soon as the soldiers entered, they were shot back by a dense array of arrows. Liu Zhang frowned, there were not many people he brought, so he couldn't consume it like this.
"Mingjin withdraws his troops and fights again tomorrow." Liu Zhang is going to burn down the city tomorrow, and this Huyan is really disgusting to Liu Zhang.
As Liu Zhang's order sounded, the soldiers immediately retreated. There are too many people dying, and Liu Zhang's troops are insufficient, so it is better to consume more supplies. It's useless to bring back the supplies, it's better to waste them all. I've been running around for a day today, and I've been fighting here for so long, so I'm going to break the city tomorrow, right?
As the soldiers returned, Liu Zhang directly stationed a large camp outside the city, and the Huns in the distance slowly retreated. Liu Zhang also arranged for them to wash and prepare for dinner, these people are easy to pay, they only need stewed meat with potatoes. Turnips are a good thing to eat for yourself, and these people can eat some delicious potatoes.
The army's grain and grass were sent in a steady stream, and most of the potatoes were just given to these people to eat, anyway, the soldiers were tired of eating potatoes. Liu Zhang's side began to be stationed, and soldiers appeared on the city wall. Liu Zhang doesn't plan to attack the city today, of course, Liu Zhang will also pay attention to whether these people will attack the camp at night, and also prevent them from escaping, and the meat in his mouth must not be let go so cheaply.
Debris has begun to accumulate on the city walls and behind the city gates. Liu Zhang even doubted that in the end, would he directly cry and surrender? Then he said that he had a spy with Shan Yu around him, in short, Liu Zhang was enough for this Huyan. After eating, let the soldiers exercise, the grenades should be used well, not to mention that Ma Chao is getting more and more experienced in this. Grenades and spears are already standard for Ma Chao, one for melee combat and the other for long-range combat.
