Chapter 442: Breaking the Siege

Nearly 100,000 army of blue wolves poured all over the mountains and fields, shaking the earth like a surging flood.

King Duosi hurriedly said: "It's the cavalry of the Han army!" It's hard for us to resist the cavalry charge in the wilderness, so let's get into the city! Then he sent the herald to order the army to retreat into the city, and Shamoko and Meng Shu also ordered their troops to retreat into the city.

The three barbarian armies that had not yet entered the battle rushed into the city, and those who were fighting left the battle and ran towards the city. Zhu Rong ordered a comprehensive counterattack under his command, and more than 100,000 troops poured up like a tide.

The cavalry corps went around the city wall and cut off the retreat of more than 20,000 King Duosi's army and Meng Shu's army. The army in the city was worried that the Han cavalry would break into the city, so they hurriedly closed the city gates.

The cavalry corps rushed into the middle of the enemy, trampled with iron hooves, and stabbed with long lances, killing the enemy's corpses all over the field. Zhu Rong led a large army to surround and surrounded more than 10,000 enemy troops in the middle. More than 10,000 enemy soldiers looked at the scene in front of them, flustered, and did not know what to do. Zhu Rong stepped out of his horse and went to the front of the army, and shouted: "Those who lay down their weapons will not be killed!" The enemy soldiers looked at each other, looking a little overwhelmed. A few of the leader-like men laid down their weapons first, and the armies also laid down their weapons when they saw this.

Zhu Rong ordered someone to escort the prisoner down, and she herself rode a horse to Zhang Lang, and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, the general arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!" ”

Zhang Lang turned his head to look at the city, "The situation here is a bit beyond my expectations!" Whose army attacked you just now? The combat effectiveness is so strong! ”

Zhu Rong said: "It's Shamoke's Wuxi barbarians. The Wuxi barbarians are the toughest warriors in the south, all of them can fight lions and tigers, and they are not afraid of death! If it weren't for the timely arrival of the general to cause them to withdraw their troops, I am afraid that our army's defense line would have been broken through at this moment! ”

Zhang Lang said: "I saw it!" These people are indeed fierce and ferocious! After a pause, he said to Zhu Rong and Ma Chao: "Order all the armies, collect the troops and return to the camp." The two generals answered the promise and ran down to give the order.

The army slowly retreated into the barracks.

In the big tent, Zhu Rong reported to Zhang Langyu: "Our army has attacked Qinzang County and is about to conquer it. At this moment, Shamoko and King Doth arrived with an army of 150,000 yuan, causing our army to fall short and fall into a bitter battle. ”

Zhang Lang pondered for a moment and asked, "How are the casualties of our army?" ”

"Returning to the Great General, nearly 20,000 people were killed and wounded, almost half of which were caused by the Wuxi barbarians!" When Zhu Rong talked about the Wuxi barbarians, he was really resentful, and there was a hint of fear.

"What about enemy casualties?"

"More than our army, estimated at about 30,000 people."

Zhang Lang smiled: "It's not bad, at least I didn't suffer!" ”

Zhu Rong saw that Zhang Lang actually looked relaxed, and said angrily: "General, with our current strength, it may be difficult to capture a city garrisoned by nearly 200,000 troops!" ”

Zhang Lang nodded thoughtfully.

Zhu Rong asked, "Are there any other reinforcements that are about to arrive?" ”

Zhang Lang glanced at Zhu Rong and said with a smile: "I want to." ”

Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are there no other reinforcements?" Why did the general bring in another army or two? ”

Zhang Lang stood up, walked in front of Zhu Rong, and said with a wry smile: "Where do I still have an army that can be mobilized?" Jingzhou's Tiger Wing Legion is already very difficult to defend Jingzhou, and it is obviously unable to move; Nanyang and Luoyang, each must maintain a certain strength, so they cannot move; Although there were many troops in Bingzhou, in the face of 650,000 Xianbei troops, they couldn't move a single step at all. So, now the army here is all I can mobilize. ”

Zhu Rong frowned, "Although the combat power of the Blue Wolf Legion is very strong, this southern middle is full of high mountains and mountains, and it is difficult to exert the power of the cavalry!" After all, the number of people is limited, and with the barbarian army of all races under my command, the total strength does not have much advantage over the opponent! It's so hard to exterminate them! ”

Ma Chao said: "As long as you can lure them out of the city, it will be easy to double it!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "They are not stupid! After a pause, "You saw everything just now, right?" As soon as our soldiers appeared, they immediately gave up the battle and retreated into the city! It's almost impossible to lure them out of the city to fight us in the field! ”

Ma Chao frowned and said, "If that's the case, then it's going to be difficult!" Although the last general's blue wolf army is good at field warfare, it is not very good at siege! His heart moved, and he hurriedly said to Zhang Lang: "General, the last general thinks, Qinzang County is not big, even if there was a grain and grass reserve before, it should not be a lot, and now there are more than 100,000 troops, I'm afraid their grain and grass won't last long, right?" ”

Zhang Lang thought so, immediately looked at Zhu Rong, and asked, "Queen, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Rong thought for a while, "Before the war, it was reported that the grain and grass stored in Qinzang County could supply 60,000 troops for two months. Now that there are so many more troops, their food and grass can support them for more than twenty days at most. ”

Zhang Lang thought for a moment, "Since this is the case, there is no need to rush to attack the city. Said to Ma Dai: "Ma Dai." ”

Ma Dai immediately came out and promised: "General." ”

"You led 10,000 cavalry to the west of the city and stationed more than 20 miles to cut off the support coming from the west."

"No."

Zhang Lang looked at Ma Tie, "Ma Tie, you lead 10,000 war cavalry to camp twenty miles northwest and cut off the support coming from the northwest." ”

"No."

"Ma Xiu, you, lead 10,000 war cavalry, stationed between the two armies, and meet the two armies at any time."

"No."

Zhang Lang said to Ma Chao: "There are scouts in the police station, and the situation within a radius of 100 miles is closely monitored!" Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "Understood." ”

Zhu Rong asked, "Does the general want to trap them?" ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "That's right!" ”

Meng Huo and the others saw the actions of the Han cavalry on the city wall, and King Duosi hurriedly asked Meng Huo: "King, have the reinforcements from the Golden Ring and Three Knots arrived?" ”

Meng Shu shook his head, then understood, and asked urgently, "You mean they want to intercept and kill the Golden Ring Three Knots?" ”

King Doth nodded, "Very likely!" ”

Meng Yu was very anxious, and immediately said to Meng You: "Immediately send someone to give Jinhuan Sanjie an order, asking him to camp the army in Dongnong Mountain and wait for the order." Meng You promised and ran down. The Dongnong Mountain mentioned by Meng Huo refers to the lofty mountains and mountains of more than 100 miles west of Qinzang County, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the traffic artery connecting the two areas of the south and the east.

The three tribal kings returned to the hall and took their seats as guests of honor.

Meng Huo hugged his fists at Shamoke, who was sitting at the head of the left, and said, "Thank you King Wuxi for coming to the rescue!" Shamoke said lightly: "Don't thank me, King Doth saved my life, I owe him, he came to me, I must send troops!" ”
