The internal worries have been removed, and the next step is to find a way to solve the Xianbei people outside the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are 30,000 people besieging the city of Xianbei, all of whom are cavalry, and they are also mostly foot soldiers, protected by the city wall, they can still hold on for a period of time, leaving the city wall, they can only be fish and meat on the chopping board, and let the Xianbei people slaughter.
Liu De looked at the city wall and sighed: "Trapping the lonely city is not a long-term plan, I hope that reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible." ā
In the Xianbei tent, in the big tent in the middle of the road.
"What's the matter, the Han people who promised to open the city gate and let us into the city haven't moved?" Budugen paced back and forth in the tent and said impatiently.
"Return, there is still no news from the city." The leader on the side looked at Budugen and said hesitantly, "Could it be that they have misremembered the time?" ā
Budugen waved his hand and said, "It's impossible, the agreed time is set by them, unless ......"
In the end, Budugen's voice became lower and lower, and instead of continuing, he lowered his head and pondered.
"Shan Yu, then what should we do?" Although the leader on the side wanted to know what Budugen's last words were, as a courtier, he wouldn't delve into what his boss hadn't finished saying.
"For the time being, if there is no movement in the city for half an hour, then continue to attack the city."
"No!"
At this time, Ran Min led 7,000 cavalry and galloped to a distance of more than 100 miles near Qiangyin, and the Xianbei people here could not feel the vibration of the ground, so they naturally would not be aware of it.
Ran Min first ordered the troops to stop marching, and then ordered people to investigate the situation in the Xianbei camp and the city of Qiangyin.
Half an hour later, the spies came to report: "General, Qiangyin City is besieged by Xianbei on all sides, but it has not yet been attacked. ā
"Oh, it's a little strange, the Xianbei people didn't attack the city?" After Ran Min heard the news, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, and muttered to himself: "It's a pity that it's such a good opportunity, but it doesn't matter." ā
Then Ran Min looked at the lieutenant general beside him and asked, "Can our spies get in touch with the soldiers and horses in the city?" ā
"I'm afraid it's difficult, Xianbei is besieging the city on all sides, even if our people enter the city and pass the news on, the troops stationed in the city may not be able to believe it."
Ran Min thought for a while, looked up at Qiangyin City, and sighed in his heart: "I hope you can be decisive." ā
"Woo......"
I don't know how long it took, a heavy horn sounded in the Xianbei camp, and then the Xianbei people began to attack the city.
"General, what are we going to do?" Hearing Xianbei's horn, the lieutenant general on the side held his weapon hard, his murderous aura soared, his eyes were red, and he seemed to want to rush up and fight Xianbei now.
"Wait, when Xianbei is halfway through the siege, let's attack again." Seeing the murderous appearance of the deputy general, Ran Min calmed down a little.
"General...... Promise. The adjutant general just wanted to refute, but when he saw Ran Min's stern eyes, he could only agree, and then stepped aside.
After about half an hour, Ran Min shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, mounts the horse, and prepares to kill the enemy!" ā
At this time, the battle between the Xianbei people and the defenders of Qiangyin City became more and more intense, and both sides paid a considerable price, fortunately, the Xianbei people were not good at attacking the city, otherwise, it would be difficult to hold the city gate with five thousand soldiers in the hands of Liu De.
Just when the battle between the two sides was in full swing, Bu Dugen and the others, who supervised the battle, immediately felt a tremor on the ground, as a steppe people, they were very familiar with this tremor, which was the sound produced when the seven thousand or so cavalry galloped.
This will certainly not be their reinforcements!
Now, they are attacking the city, they have invested nearly 5,000 troops, and there are still nearly 10,000 warriors, but now they are facing the situation of being attacked by the Han army on both sides.
"Order the besieging troops to continue the assault, and the others will follow me to meet the enemy." Budugen is worthy of a generation of Shan Yu, and he still has the courage to have: "Warriors on the grassland, follow me to the rear to meet the enemy!" ā
The movement of the Xianbei people under the city was also seen by Liu De, seeing the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, as if a large number of military horses were coming, and shouted loudly: "Reinforcements have arrived, brothers, kill all the dogs!" ā
When the soldiers defending the city saw the arrival of reinforcements, they also gave birth to a lot of strength out of thin air, rolling stones and logs, and kept throwing them towards the Xianbei people.
And the other side.
"Rush!"
In the blink of an eye, the two sides met, first with a round of shooting, and then directly into hand-to-hand combat.
Although there is a gap in the strength of the two sides, the equipment and tactical coordination of the Tang army are much better than those of the Xianbei people, so Ran Min did not suffer a loss.
At the head of the city, without the command of Budugen and others, the pace of the Xianbei people's siege of the city slowed down a lot, and they were soon repelled by Liu De.
Liu De stood at the head of the city, looked at Ran Min, who was fighting bloodily outside the city, compared the situation between the two sides, and immediately ordered: "Come here, order five hundred cavalry to go out of the city with a certain person and help General Hou." ā
They didn't have many defenders of the city, and the only one who could move now was only five hundred light horsemen, but the fighter plane was fleeting, and he needed to seize the opportunity in front of him to completely repel the Xianbei people.
Click.
The city gate was opened, and the five hundred cavalry in the city rushed out of the city with Liu De, and slashed at the rear of the Xianbei people.
The Xianbei people who were besieging the city, when they saw the city gate open, wanted to rush into the city before the city gate was closed, and seized the city gate, but they did not do so and were blocked by the guards guarding the gate.
was flanked by the Tang army before and after, and Bu Dugen also felt a little difficult, not to mention, there were no fierce generals in his army, and for a while, the Xianbei army was out of control.
"Budugen is a child, Ran Min is here."
Ran Min rushed to kill for a while, saw that Liu De in the city really sent troops, and then glanced at the battlefield, saw that the situation was getting more and more powerful, looked at the banner of Xianbei Shan Yu Budugen in the distance, emptied the enemy around him, and went straight towards the handsome banner of Budugen.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
Ran Min rushed into battle, his intention was obvious, that is, to go towards their Shan Yu, and after the Xianbei people saw it, they desperately wanted to stop it.
But no one was Ran Min's enemy, including some general-level officers in Xianbei, who were killed by him like cutting melons and vegetables.
As Ran Min got closer and closer, Bu Dugen shouted again and again: "Block him for me!" ā
But there was still no one who could resist Ran Min for a moment, and in a short time, Ran Min had already arrived at Budugen's side, only a few zhang away from him, and the guards couldn't resist it, so Budugen withdrew from the battlefield under the cover of the guards.
With the withdrawal of Budugen, the Xianbei army finally gave up their stubborn resistance, lost their armor one by one, and fled with Budugen.
"Thank you General Hou for your help, it's unforgettable." After the end of the war, Liu De bowed to Ran Min, if it wasn't for Ran Min coming to help in time, he didn't know if he could hold out until the arrival of the Tang army.
"General Liu is polite." Ran Min didn't care, Liu De's name was under his control, he didn't expect Liu De to help him in the future, just as his polite words.
