"Newspaper - big single Yu, the enemy army...... The enemy set fire to the wooden building......"
The sound of the report came to an abrupt end, and the messenger clearly saw that there were all the famous kings and nobles, but there was no big single Yu. Pen ร fun ร Pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ It wasn't until I followed the king's gaze that I noticed that their big orders stood in front of the low black window, like a monster crouching in the dark.
At this moment, the windowsill was faintly red, caused by the light of the fire in the distance. In this situation, where do we need to report it?
After a long time, Zhi Zhi turned around, facing all his subordinates, his eyes seemed to be stained by the firelight, revealing a dark red blood, and his voice had an irrepressible anger, as if it would explode at any time: "Fire attack!" Damn the Han Chinese, they will always be so despicable. Even though they have ten times more troops than us, they don't dare to fight in a dignified manner, and they know how to use crossbows and fire......
A nobleman coughed dryly and said: "As Shan Yu said, the Han army and their accomplices are too numerous, and without the containment of the wooden building, even if we gather all the men with high wheels in the city and climb the city to defend against the enemy, there is no way to stop it." โ
Another said: "Then what do you say?" โ
The man sighed, unable to answer.
Another person was dissatisfied: "I said earlier, we are the eagles of the steppe, we should spread our wings, fly and fight, how can we be trapped in the city and learn from the Han people to defend that set......"
Ju Yu Li was immediately displeased: "Sogule, what do you mean by this, are you teaching Da Dan Yu how to fight?" โ
Sogulel was furious: "What did you say? As a big leftist household, can't I put forward my own opinions? โ
"Enough!" Zhi Zhi tore off the treasure knife at his waist and slapped it heavily on the case, and all his subordinates were suddenly silent.
Zhi Zhi snorted and panted, and only exhaled after a while: "In that case, Sogule, you will take your clan warriors and attack the north gate." Horses, and horses, and horses, and thou shalt lead thy men to attack at the west gate. See who can open a passage for us. โ
Sogulie gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth again, and finally paused: "Obey the order." โ
If Zhizhi only sent him to attack, it would inevitably be suspected of personal revenge, but he also sent his son to fight, which made him have nothing to say. There is no way, but to give it a hand.
After Sogulie and Ju Yu Lishou left, Zhi Zhi sat down weakly: "Everyone pack up your things, ready to break through at any time." โ
The reason why Zhizhi chose the east gate and the north gate to break through is reasonable. Break through to the west gate, if you can succeed, you can join forces to attack the ambush on the north bank of Dulai Shui, and retreat to the city of Khotan, the capital of the king of Kangju. If the north gate can be opened and the Dulai water can be crossed, there will be a chance to escape back to Jiankun and rebuild the royal court.
The world is so big, only Kangju and Jiankun can still gain a foothold, and going anywhere else is a dead end.
Of course, there is another way to put it to death and survive, that is, to attack the Western Expeditionary Army camp at the East Gate head-on. As long as the Han army is defeated, the crisis will be eliminated. It's just that up to Zhizhi and down to the Hun nobles, no one dared to mention this stubble. The disparity in strength is too great, and it has to defend the city and assault, but the combat effectiveness of the Han army can be seen clearly during the day, and the end of this is no different from death.
The Huns, who raised their middle fingers (provocation) to the Han Dynasty and thumbs up (killing) to the surrounding countries, finally lost the courage to fight hard in the face of the "Avengers" who came to the door to ask for explanations after ten years.
The Huns did not dare to attack the front of the Han army, but they were full of confidence to deal with the Hu pawns of various countries. Sogule's 500 cavalry were not afraid in the face of the 3,000 soldiers blocking the north gate. Open the gates of the city and rush out, leap over the ravine, and charge the enemy.
At this time, the weakness of the Western Expeditionary Army was exposed.
What was the weakness of the Western Expeditionary Army? Coalition! This is both a strength and a weakness.
The biggest problem of the alliance is that the orders are inconsistent and the command is not smooth. Although Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang had already divided this "joint ****" into six schools before they set out on the expedition, so as to unify their command. However, this only solved the problem of the Metropolitan Protectorate's command over the coalition forces, and there were various problems with the coordination of the various countries.
You must know that the countries in the Western Regions and neighboring countries have dozens or hundreds of years of grievances and entanglements. If these countries are brought together to fight together, it is inevitable that they will not compete with each other for merit, and even drag their feet behind. If you put together countries that are not neighbors, there will be fewer grievances, but they will not be compatible with each other's languages and customs, and it will be difficult to get along.
There is no way to eliminate this weakness, and it is also the biggest hidden danger of the Western Expeditionary Army in addition to the lack of food and grass. The longer it is delayed, the more likely it is to have problems, which is also an important reason why Chen Tang wants to solve it quickly.
Sogulel and Ju Yu Lishou seized on this weakness, and with only a few hundred horsemen, they attacked and rushed violently, disrupting the enemy's formation, and finally wedged through the junction of the various arrays, and broke through the encirclement at a small cost.
After the two Hun cavalry broke through the north gate and the west gate, they joined forces and pounced on the 2,000 Hu cavalry who were guarding the shoals of the upper reaches of the Dulai water. These two thousand Hu cavalry were composed of the powerful countries of the Western Regions, including Wusun, Yanqi, Qiuzi, and the Kangju Xiyue Division.
The allied forces of the four powers, even against the same number of Hun cavalry, had to fight - provided that they worked together, of course.
It's a pity that Yanqi and Qiuzi, Kangju and Wusun are all feuds. Therefore, Guo Xi formed four lines of defense with soldiers and horses from the four countries to block them layer by layer. Each line of defense had only a few hundred horsemen, and the forces were so thin that they could not form a joint force. There's no way around it, it's better than pulling each other's backs or even fighting.
It is precisely because of this helpless deployment that Sogule and Ju Yuli were able to break through the interception of the coalition forces and successfully cross the Dulai water.
"Quick, quickly return to the city and report to Da Danyu, our department has broken through the enemy's triple interception and fought a bloody way." The bloodied Pony Yu Lishou wiped his face vigorously and shouted excitedly.
The messenger immediately galloped away.
Before the joy of the horse Yu Lishou passed, he suddenly rushed to the front and said in a loud voice: "General Zuo, the big boss invites you to go to the front of the battle." โ
Ju Yu Lishou smiled hesitantly: "What, Sogule can't stand anymore?" And the last interception, just rush over in one goโwell, that's what the Han people say. Ju Yu Lishou has been a "waiter" in Chang'an for ten years, and he has learned some Chinese vocabulary.
Lai Qi's voice was bitter: "The situation is not good, General Zuo will go up the small hill and take a look." โ
Ju Yu Li was reined in half a circle, and pointed at the other party with the whip in his hand: "Morton, be careful to speak, you shake the heart of the army like this, if it is my subordinates, I will whip you to death!" โ
The colt was ridden away, and followed closely with the torch. The firelight flew by, and the facial features of the rider flickered and dimmed - it was Hou Morton, the bone capital of the Sweat Department that Zhang Fang was still "missing" before.
Morton really went to Zhizhi. This is also a helpless thing, he has been caught between the two captains of Jilusai and Jiaohebi, and he can't stay in Bahan Mountain at all, not far away, what other way to go? It's just that his luck is obviously too bad, and he has only been alive for a few days? That's when this bad luck happened.
Hu Cong stepped forward cautiously, looked at the master's uncertain face from the side, and said angrily: "Gudu Hou, General Zuo is too ...... He hasn't become a single Yu yet......"
Morton raised his hand to stop, his gaze wandering: "When the fight starts, you have to pay more attention and find a chance to get out." โ
"Bone Marquis ......"
"Zhi Zhi is single, I'm afraid it won't be." Morton let out a long sigh of indescribable melancholy.
When the colt Yu Lishou climbed the hillside, the scene in front of him was like a basin of cold water on his head, cold from head to toe, which made him lament like Morton.
On the side of Zhizhi City, after receiving the good news from Ju Yuli, the entire Zhizhi City became excited. The Huns were accustomed to migration, and civilians could trek thousands of miles with a few horses or a small number of cattle and sheep, rolling up tents and putting them on the backs of livestock. And the nobles also have more goods and livestock, as long as they abandon these and travel lightly, they can assemble quickly.
However, when Zhizhi and his party rushed to the north gate, a messenger rushed to meet them. Although half of his body was stained with blood and his face was covered with blood, Zhi Zhi still recognized it at a glance, and this was his son's close chief.
"Big Order, no! The Kangju people were discovered, and they were Tu Mo of the Rhino Moon Department. Also, there is the banner of Jiankun and Ding Lingren......"
Zhizhi's chest was stuffy, his hands and feet were cold, and he roared in the sky.
The last glimmer of hope was completely shattered. (To be continued.) )
