Chapter 281: Overwhelming
The poplar forest outside the Yongji Canal is covered with yellow dust, and the cavalry rushing to the front is majestic, and the sound of horses' hooves sounding like thunder, and the Hu people scouts look at it at a glance, and the dust is rolling in front of them.
The Hu tribe in charge of facing the soldiers and horses of Shangjun County was in chaos, and the patriarch of the tribe turned pale, and he suddenly realized that the truth had deviated from his understanding. The officers and soldiers of Da Chu came fiercely, not just to test their reality and reality.
Seeing that the other party was murderous, the Hu people's rangers only felt a tremble between the two strands, and they were extremely remorseful in their hearts. So far, they can only fight against the officers and soldiers of the counties and counties.
The outpost sent by the Hu people was quickly swept away by the soldiers and horses of Shangjun County, although the Hu rangers had a certain advantage over the heavy cavalry of the other party, but the distance between the two sides was close to the soldiers of Shangjun County, and the advantage of the Hu people in cavalry and archery was not reflected at all.
Meng Hai led the cavalry of Taohuazhai and went to the Hu team like a tide, he knew in his heart that although his side was numerous, but in addition to the 15,000 men and horses of Taohuazhai, those powerful private soldiers were not worth mentioning at all, once the soldiers and horses in front of them had an advantage, these powerful private soldiers could follow the charge and shout, and fight a tailwind battle, once Su Yi's side was at a disadvantage, then these Zhuangke private soldiers would not hesitate to turn around and run, and they couldn't count on it at all.
Many Hu people were frightened and at a loss, but there were also some who were not afraid of death, although they still licked their lips excitedly when they saw the murderous rush of the officers and soldiers of Da Chu, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Meng Hai's mouth, these Hu people were still stuck in the old concept that the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County were vulnerable.
Thousands of cavalry in front of them faced the arrows of the Hu people, like a sharp knife suddenly pierced into the opponent's team, and the Hu cavalry suddenly scattered, they were good at guerrilla. They are not good at hand-to-hand combat, especially if the other side is still heavy cavalry, and these Hu people will never fight them head-on unless they are crazy.
It's just that before these Hu people could completely disperse, a rain of arrows suddenly flew out from behind Meng Hai and other heavy cavalry, and they shot directly at the Hu light cavalry.
The Hu cavalry was in disarray. Seeing this, Meng Hai led the heavy cavalry to cover the past, whether it was armor or weapons, the thousands of cavalry led by Meng Hai completely destroyed the light cavalry of the Hu people, and the morale of the Hu tribe dropped sharply, and everyone's faces showed a look of horror.
The powerful arrow array of the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County frightened them into fear, and the thousands of cavalry led by Meng Hai were like demons from hell, these Hu people still had the heart to resist, and the patriarch of the Hu tribe sighed and did not dare to fight hard with the other party's heavy cavalry. only dared to use cavalry archery to deal with those heavy cavalry, but in the high-speed running of the war horses, the accuracy of these Hu people's light cavalry was lowered a lot, and they could not compete with the archers of Taohuazhai at all.
Seeing that Hu Cai was defeated, Meng Hai raised the saber in his hand and shouted: "Little ones, kill me!" ”
Su Yi led the Chinese army behind and heard Meng Hai's roar. The forehead was covered with black lines, but fortunately, many heroes in Shangjun County were immersed in the joy of victory. I didn't find anything wrong with it.
Thousands of cavalry rushed to the front, the sword and shield soldiers and the wrestler army were behind, the archers stayed at the end to press the formation, and the private soldiers of many powerful forces in Shangjun County followed behind to pick up the bargains, in order to prevent them from breaking up the front army formation in order to snatch the battle merits, Su Yi had to strictly order them to slow down the speed of the pursuit.
The Hu people were defeated. Almost the whole line was defeated, and in this battle, the Hu people killed by the bandits in Taohuazhai were rolling on their heads, and the blood flowed like a river, and they chased the Hu people's rout to Yongji Canal.
At this moment. Whether it was Meng Hai or Su Yi, they all showed a trace of excitement.
Yongji Canal is a strategic place, but what really made Su Yi decide to attack Yongji Canal was because Yongji Canal had countless horses, these Hu people lived here all the year round, and kept many horses in captivity, and these horses could be trained into charging war horses as long as they were trained a little.
In addition, Yongji Canal has abundant reserves of cattle, sheep and livestock, and at present, Taohuazhai is recruiting troops and horses, and these livestock are extremely lacking. If you want a soldier to die for himself, in addition to increasing the rewards and punishments, you must also provide them with high-quality food.
These Hu people occupy the Yongji Canal and raise a large number of cattle and sheep, which is also a rare strategic reserve.
Eighty percent of the Hu people in the Yongji Canal were pinned down in the southern barren forest, and Su Yi took advantage of the victory to pursue, and even did not let his subordinates rest, so he led the army into the Yongji Canal.
Su Yi's 50,000 soldiers and horses suddenly entered the Yongji Canal, which caught the Hu people who attacked the Southern Barren Forest by surprise.
The Hu people have not been able to attack the South Wilderness Forest for a long time, and they have long become in a hurry, disgraced, these days the corpses killed in the South Wilderness Forest are all over the field, and the defenders of Peach Blossom Village have fought very completely, of course, this is also due to the fact that the Hu people are not good at attacking tough battles, and the defenders of the South Wilderness Forest have never rushed out of the fortifications to fight with the other side.
The southern barren forest could not be attacked for a long time, and the contradictions between the various departments of the Hu people became more and more intense, and the various departments passed the buck to each other, and even began to appear in a state of exhaustion. At this time, I suddenly heard that the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County had entered the Yongji Canal, and these Hu people were in a mess.
The war in the South Barren Forest is stalemate, once the Hu people withdraw their troops, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and seeing that the South Barren Forest is about to be broken, these Hu people grit their teeth with hatred. It's just that if the troops are not withdrawn, the remnants of the Hu forces in Yongji Canal will not be able to resist the imperial army.
"What?" Wuhuan Chief Adugen was shocked, "The soldiers and horses of Shangjun County have already attacked the Yongji Canal?" No, didn't Niu Quan's old thing say that the Great Chu Imperial Court was just feinting to attack Yongji Canal? How they ......"
"Humph!" The patriarch of the Hu people, who had been refuting Niu Quan's point of view before, said angrily: "I know that the Han people are unreliable, and most of Niu Quan's dog thing colluded with the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County to deliberately give me crooked ideas." ”
Tuoba Ye on the side was at a loss, now is the most critical moment to attack the South Barren Forest, although the bandits on the other side of the South Barren Forest are fierce, but they are already tired, and the archers of the other side have no time to support.
The Hu tribes successfully captured the two city walls on the periphery of the Southern Wilderness Forest, and the two sides are now fighting each other across the fence, and the defenders of the Southern Wilderness Forest can be said to form a human wall to defend against the attack of the Hu people.
And the Hu people also adopted crowd tactics and pushed it hard.
It is also at this time that it is impossible for the Hu people to withdraw their troops, the two sides are stuck on the front line, you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance, once the Hu people retreat on a large scale, it is difficult to guarantee that these murderers in the southern barren forest will not take the opportunity to kill the Yongji Canal.
"How could it be...... How so! How did the soldiers and horses of Shangjun County enter the Yongji Canal? Which tribe was responsible for defending against the soldiers and horses of Shangjun County? Tuoba Ye shouted.
Unfortunately, no one answered his question, and all the Hu people stayed in silence, and at the same time, a bad premonition swelled in the hearts of these Hu people. Perhaps, they will never have a chance to leave Yongji Canal, leave Youzhou, and return to Guanwai. (To be continued.) )
