098 Kill monkeys and make an example of chickens
Wang Doumao was shocked and asked, "What?" The west and north gates were steep, how could the Han army pull such a bulky catapult there? ”
"No, Chief! It was the Han army that cut down the trees, created countless burning fireballs, and rolled down the mountain to block the city gates! ”
"Yes, Simon's situation is the same!"
Fireball! That's right, this is the opportunity that Wen Yuan gave to Xu Huang Hao Zhao yesterday, Wen Yuan ordered the second general to leave the camp after dark and return to the mountainous area northwest of the river pool, cut down trees to make a ball, and then rolled down through the sloping mountain, although there is no thunder car and bed crossbow The effect is domineering, but imagine that hundreds of burning fireballs are pushed down, and it is still easy to block the city gate.
Hearing this bad news, Wang Doumao was desperate for a while, and under the attack of anger and blood, he fainted again! When he came to his senses again, his subordinates reported that Du Hao had led most of the centaurs to break through from the south gate, and he was also in the team heading to the south gate at this time.
Wang Dou Mao raised the sky and sighed, the White Horse Clan is finished! His king Dou Mao is also finished! He really couldn't have imagined that this unintentional opponent would actually bring a devastating blow to his tribe! There is a Han River at the south gate, and I heard that there is a Han army intercepted there, but there is no way to do it, although I know that it is difficult, but it is also the only life of these people!
South Gate.
With the remnants of the troops, Du Hao finally came here after a lot of hardships, and along the way, the only little force was once again swallowed by a third of the fire! But this does not mean the end of the nightmare, because outside the city, it is the five thousand Han troops of Cao Zhen and the Dianman Department who are frantically harvesting lives, and the corpses that fell in front of them at this moment have already piled up a high hill, and a rough estimate is no less than 10,000!
There were Di soldiers among them, but more of them were the Baima Di people who lived in Hechi City, and however, the onslaught of moths to the flames continued......
"Crossbowmen! Hair! I don't know how many times I shouted the password, and the captain officer who commanded the bow and crossbow in the front row was already hoarse. The crossbowmen were almost numb and pulled the copper bracket in their hands again, but a trace of unbearability gradually began to appear in their eyes.
After all, they are flesh and blood people, not emotionless war machines. Maybe at the beginning, they were excited to kill these barbarians who had bullied countless Han people, but when they aimed their crossbow arrows at those unarmed women and children of the Di tribe, Rao was that they were all professional soldiers drawn from various legions, but their strong will still loosened a little.
As a direct result, they eventually became entangled with the soldiers and civilians of the Di people, and the blockade began to be somewhat unstable.
Seeing the prospect of breaking through, Du Hao was immediately overjoyed, not only did he pity the lives of those white horses, but also let his soldiers and horses drive the women, children, old and weak to squeeze Cao Zhendianman, and then Wang Dou Mao heard that the clansmen were used as cannon fodder to die in large numbers, so angry that he spurted blood and fainted again! When I woke up, my face was like a blank sheet of paper, and my breath was like a gossamer, and this time I might not be able to wake up for a long time at any time!
Although cruel, Wang Doumao can't help but admit that Du Hao's choice is correct, the remnants of the two of them together are only three or four thousand people, and they can't break out of the encirclement of the Han army with this bit of strength, and only by relying on the women and children in the clan can they exchange a glimmer of life for the young and strong.
Indeed, Du Hao's tactics worked, under the brazen impact of these old and weak women and children, the defense line arranged by Cao Zhen and Dian Man began to loosen, and the squeezed ones fell backwards from the middle, and not far behind them, there was the turbulent Han River......
…………
The battle situation at the south gate quickly reached Wen Yuan's ears, and Wen Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Tell Cao Zhen and Dianman, let them let go of the middle road and squeeze all the Di people into the Han River!" ”
"Yes!" The herald turned away.
Looking at the back of the herald leaving, Wen Yuan was silent thoughtfully.
On the one hand, Wen Yuan wanted to establish authority in front of the Qiang envoys.
On the other hand, Wen Yuan has to make a full consideration for the next war, Shu Road is difficult, theoretically speaking, this way to Hanzhong even if there is no obstacle to go on for more than a month! But this kind of thinking only exists in theory after all, and isn't the army being delayed in this river now? That's why Wen Yuan will use this kind of quick knife to cut through the chaos of fire attack strategy!
Moreover, there are twenty or thirty large and small Diren tribes in Wudu County, and these enemy tribes must all be exterminated by Wenyuan, so it will not be until the Year of the Monkey to rush to Hanzhong?
I also mentioned at the beginning that this time Wen Yuan went to Chen Cangdao to surprise Hanzhong from the side and hit Zhang Lu by surprise. But if it is really delayed for a long time, once Zhang Lu hears the wind, it will be a surprise fart?
And once Zhang Lu has taken precautions, the price that Wen Yuan needs to pay if he wants to capture Hanzhong will be ten or even a hundred times as planned!
Wen Yuan didn't care about exterminating the Diren tribe one by one along the way, he wanted to use the most powerful White Horse tribe in Wudu County as a "monkey", and kill the "monkey" and "chicken" by thunder means! He wants to tell all the Di tribes in Wudu County that those who dare to resist will be killed more than the wheels!
It's just that something seems to have gone wrong now, and Cao Zhen and the sergeant of Dianman seem to be a little unbearable to stretch out their butcher knives to those unarmed people. That's why Wen Yuan came up with such a compromise idea.
The soldiers under his command refused to kill the old and weak women and children, Wen Yuan actually didn't blame them, at the beginning of Wenyuan's army, it was to defend the homeland and save the people as the policy, so many years this army under the leadership of Wen Yuan and no matter how fierce the enemy is, there has not been a single instigation, but if it kills civilians indiscriminately, let alone them, Wen Yuan himself is a little embarrassed.
It's just that Wen Yuan's temporary thought of a foolproof method is not a foolproof way, you want to drive people into the river, but the other party is so easy to comply? Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention tens of thousands of people who are forced to live on the road to desperation?
Wen Yuan was really helpless at this time, if there was any army of Liyi or Lu Bu around him at this time, this kind of thing would be easy to solve. Wei Yan can also be competent, but this kind of thing depends on consciousness after all, and Wen Yuan doesn't want to forcibly assign people.
Wen Yuanzheng was a little regretful, and suddenly a silver-armored white horse general stepped forward beside him, and saluted Wen Yuan: "King! The last general has a grudge against Wang Doumao for killing his brother, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart if I don't kill this thief! The last general is willing to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to gallop to the south gate, and ask the king for permission! ”
Hey, how did you forget this stubble, this is really a pillow just wanted to sleep! Ma Chao is also a decisive person, and he has a grudge against Wang Doumao, so sending him to get the best of both worlds!
Thinking of this, Wen Yuan was overjoyed and said: "If Meng Qi goes to Zheng and my heart, I will allocate another 5,000 soldiers and horses for you, and immediately go to replace Cao Zhen and Dianman!" ”
