Chapter 186: The Wuhuan Raider Who Had to Fight
The implication of Bo Xiluo's words is: Our logistics is to prepare military rations according to your tactics, and no one expected in advance that the Han army would not play its cards according to the routine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo, we're blind. If they can't successfully capture the ice and snow city, these 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry need to turn around as soon as possible and leave this snow-covered grassland. Only by returning to the territory of the Han people can it be possible to find food.
Qiu Liju was on the spot, and it took a while to recover his strength. Bo Xiluo was right, and basically expressed Qiu Liju's heart. The Han army was too cunning to give the Wuhuan people a chance to fight in the field at all. The Wuhuan people's best combat mode of fighting to nourish war has lost their temper in front of Jiancheng.
Qiu Liju sighed: "Send more soldiers to search around to see if there is any food such as cattle, sheep, war horses and other foods abandoned by the Han army in the ruins of the tribe!" ”
Bo Xiluo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and ordered him to go down to search. But apart from the corpses of the Wuhuan people who died in battle, He Xian did not leave them anything to eat. Everything that could be taken away was dragged into the Ice and Snow City, and those that could not be taken away were burned to ashes by a fire. Bo Xi was destined to find no food to replenish.
"Just fight for three days! If you can't take it in three days, then retreat! Qiu Liju secretly decided in his heart. Because of the Ice and Snow City, the Wuhuan people's biggest advantage in cavalry has become the biggest disadvantage; Because of the shortage of food, the Wuhuan people could not adopt siege tactics, otherwise, there would be a danger of annihilation. Since it is not easy to fight, and it can't be surrounded, knowing that his wife and children are in the city, Qiu Liju finally had to give up and then retreat! But now, how to retreat is the most headache for him! Wuhuan people have a relatively simple temperament, and they are relatively indifferent to death. If the reason is that "the Han army is strong, our army is short of materials, and we have to retreat", it is estimated that this group of warriors under his command will think that Qiu Liju is cowardly, and he will change from loyal ministers to rebels in minutes. They would rather die in battle than become deserters......
Just when Qiu Liju was entangled, another team came to a place a hundred miles away from Chishan. They all rode white horses and wore the costumes of Youzhou sergeants.
"Lord Duwei, there are traces of the Wuhuan people here! The time to leave is about three days! ”
"My lord, in addition to the traces of the Wuhuan people, there is also the trace of another team!"
"The other team, will it be Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebels?" Listening to the sergeant's report, a general dressed as a military general asked with some concern.
"Impossible! It is impossible for the rebels' marching speed to keep up with the Wuhuan cavalry, and these traces are likely to be left by the Nanyang soldiers when they passed by, and the Wuhuan people should have arrived later! Another general, dressed as a military general, said in denial.
"That's it! Yan Gang, order the sergeants to fix in situ! Shan Jing, send out scouts, and stare at the movement in the direction of Chishan! The leader of the main general spoke to stop the conjecture of the two, and this main general was the captain of the Han cavalry, Gongsun Zhan!
Yan Gang and Shan Jing are both generals under Gongsun Zhan, with strong martial arts and equal skills, but the two often quarrel over some very small things, and they don't give in to each other, which makes Gongsun Chan have a headache. And this cavalry team of 3,000 people is the most elite Youzhou elite cavalry under the command of Gongsun Zhan, known as the "White Horse Yicong"!
"How far are we from Chishan?" Gongsun Chan asked the sergeant who looked like a guide beside him.
"Lord Huidu, according to the map and compass provided by Lord Zhonglang, this place is still a hundred miles away from Chishan! At our current marching pace, it can be reached in three days! The sergeant replied.
"Three days? Very good! Gongsun Zhan raised his head, looked around at the "trench" and other geographical environments here, and decided: "Our army will camp here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning!" ”
This year's grassland is destined to not live in peace, and this year's Chishan is destined not to sleep peacefully.
After the cold night passes, the dawn will come. Qiu Liju thought hard all night, but still couldn't think of a way to use cavalry to attack the city. But today, he had to fight, and Qiu Liju had no choice.
On the ice and snow city wall, He Xian, Guo Jia led Wen Ping and Wei Yan, a total of about 3,000 foot soldiers, were already in full array. Zhang Liao's Bingzhou flying cavalry, which was not as good as a foot soldier in the city defense and imperial battle, was used as a mobile force by He Xian and left in the camp in the city. Zhao Yun and his "Two Mountains Army" did not move, and their task was to strictly defend the Wuhuan concentration camp in the city. The Wuhuan people in the concentration camp already knew the news that Qiu Liju had led an army to help, and they wanted to prevent a riot at this juncture! If there is any sign of it, kill it!
He Xian didn't want to set off a massacre, but if these Wuhuan women and children didn't know what to do, He Xian wouldn't be soft-hearted, and Zhao Yun's "Two Mountains Army" wouldn't be soft-hearted! The so-called "two mountains" are Zhongshan and Montenegro, which are the main sources of sergeants under Zhao Yun. These two places are located in the north of Jizhou, and they can often hear the news that the Wuhuan people plundered the border of the Han Dynasty and killed the people on the border, so the soldiers of the "Two Mountains Army" did not have a good impression of the Wuhuan people. Some of the soldiers were even very hostile to the Wuhuan people. Because, not long ago, when Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled, the Wuhuan people once entered the hinterland of Jizhou, and many people died under the Wuhuan Tucai.
"Woo~" The dull horn sounded, and the first wave of attack of the Wuhuan Turquoise Cavalry was officially launched! Five hundred Wuhuan horsemen rushed to the city of ice and snow with a "whistling", and while riding, they drew their bows and opened arrows, shooting at the Han army at the head of the city.
"Shield Defense!"
"Don't fight back!"
The Han army shouted loudly and carried out the general's order without compromise!
The archery skills of the Wuhuan people are really good, and even the throwing is extremely accurate in grasping the landing point, and the five hundred arrows basically fell on the city. It's just that the Han army is well prepared, and basically everyone has a shield to defend. The lethality of the Wuhuan people's arrows is almost negligible.
"Captain, the Wuhuan people have entered the counterattack range of the repeater, should we fight back!" The commander of the face armor army asked Wen to hire him.
"Nope! Zhonglang will have an order, let the Wuhuan people come down to the city, and then beat them hard! ”
"Obey!"
The Han army at the head of the city resolutely defended, allowing the five hundred Wuhuan cavalry to release three rounds of arrows and break through to the city. Among them, 300 Wuhuan cavalry took out the rope behind the horse and began to use the technique of lassosing the horse to trap the arrow stacks on the city wall! As long as you can latch on, you can climb up the ice wall! The other two hundred Wuhuan cavalry, still armed with bows and arrows, aimed at the Han army on the wall to cover the climbing Wuhuan cavalry.
"The Mask Armor Army belongs, the left hand shield, the right hand crossbow!" With Wen Ping's loud roar, the five hundred armored armoured troops made adjustments one after another, ready to attack!
"Target: Archers! Count down to three and shoot with a shield! Three, two, one! Put! As soon as Wen Ping's words fell, five hundred square shields appeared on the city wall in an instant, and five hundred crossbows were set on the side of the square shields, and the crossbow arrows were fired instantly!
