Chapter 395: Offensive and Defensive Battles

Young Master Cheng has been attacking the cottage for a long time, and the war in Shangjun County is also in full swing, I have to say that the cavalry under the command of Yuwentai is indeed brave and good at fighting, in the field, such a scale of cavalry is enough to sweep any army in Youzhou, and even the armor army under the command of Tian Wan is not their opponent.

But Hu Ren's cavalry also has a lot of drawbacks, they are different from the heavy cavalry of the Great Chu court, relying on the speed of war horses and the enemy to fight, can not carry too much food, can not be too heavy armor, they need to travel lightly, in order to play the advantage of cavalry and archery.

In this way, no matter how brave the Hu light cavalry was, they could not make a long-distance attack, and even when the battle was deadlocked, these Hu cavalry could not confront the enemy for a long time, because they did not carry much food.

In the field, Yuwentai's Hu cavalry may be able to turn the tide of battle, but in siege warfare, it is useless. On the contrary, not only did the Hu cavalry not play a role, launching a cavalry siege during the siege war, but also affecting the infantry who were attached to the siege, unless Yuwentai was willing to let these Hu cavalry abandon their horses and fight on foot.

"Rush to Lao Tzu!" If at the beginning, Yuwentai still had the idea of luring the enemy out of the city, then at this moment he had completely lost his calmness before the battle, and he was just a trend of his subordinates attacking Shangjun County, of course, those who rushed to the front were Hannu and the armored Han Er under the command of Yuwentai. These people were forced by him to be used as cannon fodder, Yuwentai in order to prevent them from escaping, but also appointed several Hu people to supervise the formation, once they found that the Han soldiers in front of them retreated, they led the Hu people up, without saying a word, in front of the battle.

In order to survive, the Han soldiers under the command of Yuwentai had to attack the county seat of Shangjun, but the fortifications of Shangjun County were very strong, and it would be difficult for them to capture it for a while, let alone capture the county seat of Shangjun, even rushing to the moat outside the city became a luxury.

It was also at this time that the people of Shangjun County understood Su Yi's good coming, if it weren't for Su Yi's insistence on strengthening the city wall and rebuilding the city fortifications in Shangjun County, then Yuwentai was attacking the city today, but I was afraid that the tiger wolf outside the city would have crossed the city wall and entered the city.

Thinking of the brutality of the Hu people, the people of Shangjun County were all cold, they hid behind the city wall, watching Su Yi and the people constantly resist the attacks of the Hu people, and they were glad that they were in the city and met such a good county order.

Knowing that the Hu people are brutal, the strong and squire forces in Shangjun County also take the private soldiers in the house to the city to defend against the enemy, and in the face-to-face confrontation, it is difficult for these private troops to play any role, but in the battle to defend the city, they throw stones and carry rolling logs, and it is okay to let them carry buckets of golden soup to the city.

The troops defending the city were sufficient, coupled with the perfect fortifications and strong city walls, Yuwentai was never able to take advantage of the outside of Shangjun County.

Seeing that his subordinates were not the material for the siege of the city, Yu Wentai wanted to take this opportunity to feign defeat and retreat, and lure the defenders of Shangjun County to go out of the city for a decisive battle. However, what he didn't expect was that the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County were like turtles, and they refused to go out of the city even if he was so tempted.

As the casualties of the enemy attacking the city rose sharply, the confidence of the officers and soldiers in Shangjun County increased greatly, Su Yi of course would not let go of this opportunity to increase the combat experience of his subordinates, and immediately transferred Xiang Yong to the city.

Yu Wentai stared at Shangjun County angrily, he couldn't figure out why the original county town, which was vulnerable in his eyes, suddenly had so many more troops that could fight, and it seemed that the other party's army had quite rich experience in defending the city.

It is no wonder that although the bandits under Su Yi are bandits, the situation in the vertical and horizontal mountains is complicated, and these bandits often encounter bandits from other cottages to attack the village, so they have a lot of experience in defending the city.

Yuwentai still retained the last bit of sanity, and did not let the most elite rangers under his command give up their horses and go up to attack the city like infantry. But even so, Yu Wentai still sent the Hu soldiers under his command one after another, originally the Hu people were just supervising the battle team, and later, these Hu people also had to rush to the front line, facing the overwhelming chaos and arrows in the county and county.

At the same time, Yuwentai didn't notice that a hidden danger was quietly approaching him.

Originally, those Han soldiers were forced to be helpless and had to grit their teeth and step forward, with the desperate resistance of the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County, their casualties rose sharply, and with the sharp rise in casualties, the Han soldiers looked at the Hu people with a trace of resentment.

Some people even deliberately slowed down, preparing to turn against each other at a critical moment.

The besieging side did not hesitate to suffer casualties, launching attacks one after another, and the defending side felt a little pressure even if it was well prepared.

The soldiers at the head of Shangjun County all looked tired, but at this time, they could not tolerate a trace of slackness, Su Yi and several of his subordinates' most effective generals stood on the city wall and personally supervised the battle.

The stubbornness of the defenders of Shangjun County did surprise Yuwentai's expectations, but Yuwentai did not think that the Han army in Shangjun County could resist his attack, although the losses of the siege were very huge, but the most casualties were the Han soldiers, and the real elite under his command did not lose much, at least the cavalry that made him famous in Youzhou did not have many casualties.

Yuwentai was not stupid, the casualties of the soldiers besieging the city rose sharply, although he was a little angry, but more than that, he still wanted to take this opportunity to lure the defenders of Shangjun County out of the city to face the battle. If the county guards still have a trace of blood and ambition, they will definitely be tempted to lead their troops out of the city to attack the besieging soldiers.

As long as the defenders of Shangjun County can't bear it and sneak out of the city to attack, then he can catch the other party off guard, and in the field battle, Yuwentai is confident that there are few soldiers and horses in the entire Youzhou that can compete with the elite cavalry under his command.

"Come out, little wildcats, and show me how sharp your claws really are." Yu Wentai's narrow eyes stared at the city of Shangjun County, licked his lips, and said with a cruel smile.

Finally, the Han soldiers who were forced by Yuwentai to be cannon fodder were defeated again, this rout almost broke out the supervision team left by Yuwentai in the rear, some heroes and squires relied on the high city wall, and it was difficult for the arrows of the Hu people to shoot on the city wall, in the offensive and defensive battle, if the archers of the besieging side formed a formation, they could shoot to the city wall, and the defenders of the city would only shoot farther than them by throwing them, and the lethality would be greater, and this stalemate would not last long.

Therefore, these squires and Haoqiang were not afraid of being injured by the cold arrows under the city, and they all ran to the city to watch the battle. (To be continued.) )
