Chapter 1289: The Decisive Battle Outside Wuyuan City

Cao's army launched attacks on the Huns one after another.

Although the Huns would respond every time, they would still be torn a long hole in the defense line by the Cao army.

Every time the mouth was torn open, the gate of Wuyuan would be opened, and LΓΌ Bu and Cao Jun, who was defending the city, would escort a group of civilians out of the city.

When the people left the city, they were immediately answered by Cao's army and sent them away from the Huns.

Within a few days, Cao's army launched more than 20 attacks on the Huns, large and small, before all the people in the city withdrew.

When the last people withdrew, in front of the Huns was a city with open gates.

Looking at the open city gate, King Zuo Guli's face was pale.

The Huns beside him whispered, "King Guli, the Central Plains people are treacherous, they open the city gate, beware of ambushes in the city......"

"We have tens of thousands of people, can we still be afraid of them?" King Zuogu said: "Follow me into the city, no matter people or animals, kill them when you see them!" ”

Giving the order, he took the lead in riding his horse and rushing towards Wuyuan City.

Tens of thousands of Huns followed him and poured into the city gates.

After entering the city, the Huns scattered in all directions, looking from house to house, but they did not find a single living person.

Stopping in the center of the city, the face of King Zuogu Lili was very ugly.

A Hun came to him: "King Qiqi Zuogu Li, this is already an empty city, and there is not even half a living person." ”

"Look carefully, make sure there is not half a living person, and then report back to me." King Zuogu Li gave an order with a cold face.

More than an hour later, and he still received the same reward as before.

But this time, there was one more message.

The granary in the city has been emptied, and the people's homes are not half of the grain, and Wuyuan City is not only an empty city, but also an empty city without food.

The Huns went on expeditions differently from the Han Chinese.

Their rations were carried with them and they had no baggage, so they marched extremely fast.

Although there is an advantage in marching speed, there are also certain drawbacks.

Everywhere the Huns went, they had to rely on raiding to maintain their rations.

There was no food in the city, and King Zuo Guli was a little panicked in his heart.

But he still ordered the army to be stationed in the city, waiting for the Right Xian King to break through Cao's army and then enter the city.

King Zuogu Li entered Wuyuan City, and at this time Cao Shuo had already led a large army to the vicinity of Wuyuan City.

Along the way, he captured a lot of Hun scouts, and the ambush of the Huns was completely exposed in front of him.

The one who confronted Cao Shuo was Liu Bao, the right virtuous king of the Huns.

I planned to use the siege of King Lili of Zuogu as a bait to lure Cao Shuo to come to help, but I didn't expect that Cao Jun actually withdrew all the people in the city.

There were 50,000 Huns behind Liu Bao.

However, the Cao army brought by Cao Shuo had nearly 80,000.

The only difference between the two armies was that the Cao army was mostly infantry, while the Huns were all cavalry.

Confronting Cao Shuo, King Lili of Yougu leaned over to Liu Bao and said, "King Youxian, I'm afraid the ambush we set up is useless. ”

"Anyone can see that it's useless." Liu Bao said: "I once talked to King Zuo Xian about the scene of his fight with Cao Zirong. It is said that Cao Zirong besieged his cavalry with a spear. It is impossible to break out, and now that most of the enemy troops are infantry, we still have to be careful. ”

Looking at the array of Cao Jun, the king of the right valley saw that the large array was full of spears raised high.

Cao Jun's spear was different from what he had seen before.

This spear was as long as three or four men, and the cavalry forced a charge, and before it could reach the enemy, it would be pierced by the spear.

"It seems that Cao Zirong is going to use a spear array against us." King Yougu asked, "Is there a way for King Youxian to break them?" ”

"The enemy is infantry, and they can't outrun us." Liu Bao said: "After the order was given, the army dispersed, surrounded the enemy army, and shot them with bows and arrows from a distance. ”

Liu Bao's order was issued, and the Hun cavalry dispersed.

Seeing the actions of the Huns, Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and asked Jia Xu beside him, "Did Jia Gong see how they wanted to deal with our army?" ”

"By the speed of the cavalry, which is faster than our army, they surround them from all sides and shoot them with bows and arrows." "But the Huns are of no use at all. ”

"Oh?" Cao Shuo asked, "Why did Jia Gong say that?" ”

"Most of our troops are infantry troops." Jia Xu said: "As long as the soldiers line up in a large array and hide behind their shields, it is useless how many arrows the Huns shoot. What's more, they are all cavalry, as long as Gongzi gives the order and lets the soldiers fight back with bows and arrows, they will be the ones who will really suffer. ”

"Jia Gong's thoughts coincide with mine." Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and ordered the army behind him: "Line up the spear array, the tips of the spears point to all sides, and prepare to defend against the enemy!" ”

With Cao Shuo's order, the soldiers of the Cao army moved one after another, and soon set up a spear formation to meet the cavalry.

The Hun cavalry spread out on all sides, surrounding Cao's army.

Cao Shuo got off the war horse, and Cai Ji helped him hold the war horse down.

All the cavalry of the Cao army let the horses lie on the ground, and used the shield to prevent the Huns' arrows from shooting the horses.

Surrounded by the Cao army, the Huns opened their bows and arrows to aim at the oncoming spear array.

As Liu Bao gave the order, the Hun cavalry loosened their bowstrings, and countless arrows flew towards Cao's army.

Cao Jun's shield grew and was lined up in front of the large array, like a solid wall, shielding the oncoming feather arrows.

"Bow and arrow to shoot back." After the Huns attacked, a voice came from the Cao army's array.

Immediately, Cao Jun opened his longbow and shot arrows at the Huns from between the gaps in their shields.

Most of the feathered arrows shot by the Huns were blocked by shields, while the arrows fired by the Cao army either missed or directly hit the Huns or their war horses in the crotch.

One by one, the Hun cavalry fell from their horses, and one by one the horses fell to the ground and died under the arrows of the Cao army.

Liu Bao, who was watching the battle from afar, had a very bad face, he wrinkled his brows, thinking about how to attack Cao Jun in order to recover the decline.

Just as Liu Bao was pondering how to annihilate Cao Shuo, he heard the sound of thunderous horses' hooves behind him.

Looking back, I saw that a group of cavalry was rushing towards this side.

The cavalry did not hold high the banner of the Xiongnu, but the battle flag of the Cao army.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bao was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Divide your troops to resist the enemy!" ”

A detachment of soldiers and horses from the Hun array rushed forward against the cavalry of the Cao army.

The two cavalry collided with each other, wielding weapons and slashing at the enemy.

The cavalry killed the Huns from behind, and the best fighters had arrived, Cao Shuo did not hesitate anymore and immediately gave the order to attack.

The spear array, which had originally formed a shield wall back to back, immediately advanced towards the Huns in a circular array.

With each push, the circle will expand, and Cao Jun in the back row will step forward to fill in the gaps exposed in the front row.
