Chapter 991: Battle of Kasaka (Medium)

ps: Came back too late with only one chapter

In the early morning of 10 April, thousands of cavalry appeared on the road west of the river, and in the past month, the people of Hexi have been seeing cavalry crossing the border. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but there are so many cavalry, there are seven or eight thousand people, the road is not enough to walk, just pass through the acres and wasteland, one team after another, it is the first time to see it.

The cavalrymen were dressed in a variety of costumes, some of them were typical of Rongdi, wearing fur caps, bird feathers, and narrow-sleeved left-hand uniforms, carrying bows and arrows, and they formed the forward and peripheral patrol forces. Although the rest of the cavalry also obeyed their horses, they were on the right side, and the queue was orderly, the armor was distinct, and the weapons were mainly crossbows, riding spears, and ring-headed knives.

According to the plan, they converged again, and then began to march towards Kasaka, stopping twenty miles from the west bank of Kasaka, and releasing scouts around.

Scouts are the eyes and ears of the army, and when they go deep into the enemy's country to fight, they should be the first scout, go to the enemy 200 miles, and know where the enemy is. Because it is not the 100,000 troops marching together, there is no need to be so exaggerated, but the cordon twenty miles away must be maintained, and by the way, all the scouts of the Qin army have been cleared.

Bai Zhai's cavalry, who was familiar with the terrain of Hexi, roared away, and after a short time, he turned back and said to General Zhao.

The origin of this army is complicated, there are people from Taiyuan County, people from Yecheng, people from Dongyang County, Dai Jun Dai Rong, Wu Zhong, Tu He, and Bai Zhai of Shangjun. Sometimes, a conversation can even contain three or four languages, and this short month of getting along and working together is not enough for them to understand what the other party means, and they often have to translate it several times.

Fortunately, Yidun had already equipped them with enough translators, and after translating, Mail Cheng nodded and said to Yu Xi: "Bai Zhai's cavalry has been ordered to disperse for twenty miles, and any soldiers from Weinan or Hexi who go out of the city can't hide their eyes. ”

Yu Xi bowed his head and said: "Good, then after nightfall, we can directly attack the west bank of Pusaka, and then let everyone drive all the people in the villages they meet." ”

At the same time, he also smiled at Youcheng: "Rong Di does not understand Xia Yan, it is really inconvenient, Dai County has just issued a decree, where all the counties, Dai, Wuzhong, Tu He chiefs do not understand Xia Yan shall not take office, and those who do not understand Xia Yan in the army shall not take office, Dai County and Shang County are in a similar situation, you go back to discuss with Shang County Shou, you can ask Shang Qing for advice, learn one or two." ”

"The kid is taught." Doctor Yu Cheng hurriedly thanked Yu Xi, a doctor who was one level higher than him, and let the border county gradually become Chinese, which was Zhao Wuxian's next plan, and the first conquered Dai County naturally walked ahead of the upper county.

After the Battle of Hancheng and the Great Victory at Longmen, the morale of the Zhao army was extremely high, and four years after leaving the Central Plains, the Zhao cavalry commanded by Yu Xi was even more powerful and formidable than in the past, and the post Cheng also swept through Hexi, and no one could pose a threat to them except for the Qin army stationed on the other side of Pusaka.

"If we can defeat the enemy at Kasaka, no matter what happens to the east side of the river, we will be able to turn back and capture the west of the river." The desire to expand the territory for the Zhao clan and achieve meritorious deeds swelled in the heart of the post Cheng, he would prove that he was not mixed with the Sima of a county because of his father's position, he was no worse than those Zhao generals who were born in the army, and the Qin State was naturally the best target for slaughter.

Yu Xi, who walked in front of the horse, was his goal!

However, the experienced Yu Xi did not intend to attack eagerly during the day, and he let the cavalry rest on the spot and store up their horsepower.

Because the scouts came to report that the Qin army had set up a simple camp on the west bank of the river, although it was too late to erect a wooden wall, they dug a few simple ravines on the periphery and placed antler fences. But these things were only useful to cavalry during the day, and when the sun went down, the enemy's bows and arrows could no longer be effective......

The general assault will begin after dark!

Yu Xi raised his head and looked up at the sky, hoping that tonight would be a moonless night......

……

On the other side of Pusaka, the spirits of the Qin soldiers had been tense for a long time, and some of them had not rested for a day and a night, and they were extremely tired when night was approaching.

The cavalry of the Zhao army actually arrived in the afternoon, but they had been cruising outside the camp, staying out of range, and seeing the reality inside clearly. The Qin army knew nothing about them: they hid behind the camp and could only see these cavalry running around, but they could not see the position of the enemy's main force, and a group of people were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

The Zhao cavalry is invincible in the field, this is already a tacit fact of the Qin people in Hexi, and it is undoubtedly extremely unwise to fight hand-to-hand with them in the frontal field, and make full use of trench obstacles and bows and arrows to give them the maximum damage, which is the correct method of warfare.

But those Zhao scouts deceived the Qin people and did not dare to go out of the camp, so they deliberately rushed close and then turned around and ran away, some people on the Qin people's side couldn't hold their breath and shot a few arrows, but they all missed, wasted arrows in vain, and hurt morale, Zishun could only personally climb the sentry tower, and after shooting a horse, he saved some morale, and Zhao Cai was slightly restrained, but Zishun also gave a strict order not to shoot the enemy with a bow.

Commander Zishun knew that the enemy in front of him was very sophisticated and had already seen through his own tactics. They kept the army out of sight of the Qin army, so that the Qin people could not understand the reality and nervousness, but did not know when and where the enemy would attack.

As if an appointment had been made, the Zhao army on the east bank of the river was also unhurriedly constructing their siege equipment, and under the adjustment of the craftsmen, the tall Shaoliang cannon began to take shape, and they were waiting for darkness as a signal.

Although the attacker's vision will also be affected, more than a dozen Shaoliang cannons are placed in front of the city, adjust the height well, and no matter how bad the shooting is, they can throw stones into Pusaka City, as for whether they hit the top of Wei Bing's heads or damage civilian houses, they don't care.

Sure enough, when the last rays of the sun disappeared on the horizon, the sound of stones suddenly sounded, like a thunderbolt piercing the night sky.

"Boom!" The guards in Pusaka City hurriedly shrank their heads, and the boulder that emitted hit a section of the female wall, and suddenly the bricks and stones splashed, and the five thousand people in the city breathed a sigh of relief and had palpitations.

The successive loud noises provoked the Qin army in Hexi to involuntarily turn back to see what was happening on the other side, but at the same time, thousands of Zhao cavalry had already formed a battle queue five miles away, slowly walking towards the Qin army camp......

After the twelve Shaoliang cannons in the north of Puban City bombarded one time in turn, Zhao Qi also arrived at his destination. Three hundred steps in front of the six trenches of the Qin military camp in Hexi, thousands of war horses stopped to watch, spitting hot air from their mouths and noses, and kept smashing on the ground with all four legs, but the owner of the horse held the reins tightly and did not let go easily......

They are the elite of the Zhao family, there is no need to make senseless sacrifices, every time before the departure, someone must be the first to fill the ravine.

Some Bai Zhai and Daijun cavalry consciously dismounted, with small shields, and drove the Hexi people or Qin people who were captured from the surrounding hundreds of miles to come forward, these people numbered thousands, they carried wooden planks and earthen baskets to step forward, these people were responsible for filling in some ravines, and at the same time removing the antlers that were in the way in front of the Qin camp.

Driving the people to fill in the trenches, this seems to be nothing in Yu Xi and Youcheng, who have been fighting on the border for several years, and Shangqing also said that after the battle is over, you can talk about benevolence and righteousness, but before the battle is over, you can do whatever it takes.

The Qin people had already lit a fire outside the camp, it didn't come in handy last night, and they continued to burn a few more piles tonight, and they panicked when they saw the figure, and hurriedly released arrows outside the camp.

The sound of breaking the sky sounded intensively, arrows fell like raindrops, many civilians in Hexi were shot to death, and they wanted to retreat in a hurry, but the Zhai and Rong cavalry behind were also raising arrows to threaten them, and everyone could only hide behind the door panel and move forward inch by inch.

The Zhao cavalry opened the bow to suppress it was effective, and the rain of arrows in the Qin camp soon became sparse, and the archers were so pressed that they couldn't raise their heads, and the Zhao cavalry also insidiously used rockets, which made the Qin people in the camp scramble in order to put out the fire. The trenches dug around were neither wide nor deep because of manpower and time, and the civilians who filled the trenches did not care about dumping the soil, so they threw bamboo baskets directly into them, and the door panels were built haphazardly, but even so, the trenches were quickly filled.

The horn sounded, Zhao Qi's arrows became more and more dense, and after a while, they were about to start robbing the camp.

"If this continues, even if we are not shot to death by Zhao Cai, we will be dragged down by the chaos in the camp, trampled and burned to death......"

At this time, it was no longer the cavalry that was terrifying, but the chaos of the Qin people themselves.

Zishun was furious, and for a while forgot his father's words that he told him not to fight with Zhao Cai, and raised his arms and shouted: "The combat effectiveness of the enemy cavalry is also greatly reduced in the night, the second and third sons, follow me out of the camp to resist the enemy!" ”
