Chapter 322: On the eve of the snowstorm
The whole city was happy in this battle, not only the morale of the soldiers was even worse, but the people in the city seemed to have faded away from the fear in their hearts, and in the face of the grassland people, they were no longer afraid, and were full of self-confidence.
But no one knew that they had just begun, and this small city still had to block more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the steppe wolf, and this was just an appetizer, and the soldiers didn't know yet, but Zhang He knew, and Xu Shu knew even more.
"Sir, are you going back to the city?"
Zhang He didn't know what Mr. was going to do, and the Youzhou Iron Cavalry should not have appeared at this time, but the situation forced them to expose it in advance, but as a result, there was one less hole card in their hands.
Xu Shu nodded helplessly, it is no longer effective for Youzhou Iron Cavalry to stay outside the city now, five hundred people face more than 100,000 people, and they can't say a drop in the bucket, if there is an accident, these five hundred people will be discovered by the grassland people, and then it will be like a drop of water to the sea.
"General, this battle is in danger!"
Xu Shu said suddenly, which made Zhang He stunned for a moment, and then became serious and abnormal.
"Sir, there is already a shortage of arrows in the city, if the steppe people attack like this a few more times, our arrows will be gone, and there will not be many rolling stones and sassal wood, although the morale of the soldiers is available, but they are suffering from insufficient war funds! In addition, how to deal with the city gate, many soldiers are worried about this matter. ”
Looking at the appearance of the city, Xu Shu in the cold wind was stunned, the lord ordered to defend the city for the first time, but by the second day they were already stretched, if they had the trust of the king of Qin, how could they go back!
After a long time, Xu Shu said bitterly: "The arrows must be cast urgently, without the constraints of bows and arrows, the grassland people will definitely be even more rampant, and when the time comes, they only need a charge to reach the city, safe and sound."
The trap didn't play much role anymore, and the previous battle should have been a problem within the steppe people, but with these 3,000 people dying in the city, they would definitely change their approach to the attack on the city.
General, give the order, demolish the houses in the city, make the beams and other things into sassals, and the bricks and stones as rolling stones, for strategic use, but before that, you must first discuss with the people in the city, and you must not force it, and those who violate it will be killed! ”
Zhang He nodded, but his brows were furrowed, and he said worriedly: "Sir, I am afraid that the demolition of the house will damage the name of the lord, and the most important thing is that many experienced people predict that it will snow heavily tonight, which is much earlier than the previous winter. ”
But Xu Shu didn't speak for a long time, in the northern Xinjiang, where the wolf smoke was everywhere, Xu Shu believed that the people of Youzhou would understand, and it had come to the most dangerous time at this time.
"No, this matter is urgent, it can't be ignored, start with the county government to demolish it, and tell the people that the city is here, the city is broken, as long as the grassland people are blocked, the king of Qin will definitely help them rebuild their homes!"
Suddenly, Xu Shu's face changed, and he hurriedly turned to Zhang He and said, "The general said that there will be heavy snow tonight, is this true?" ”
Zhang He didn't know why Xu Shu had changed color, and said continuously: "It has been determined, and the sergeants and soldiers are also convinced, there will be heavy snow tonight, so if the houses are demolished, how will the people spend their lives?" ”
"Hahaha, God help me, when the snow falls, the city can be saved!"
Xu Shu suddenly laughed, so that everyone didn't know why, but Xu Shu was in a good mood, stroking the battlements and smiling slightly.
"Junyi, as long as you keep today, the city can be saved, and then it will be a great disaster for the grassland people!"
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Junyi doesn't know, the snowfall in northern Xinjiang can't stop in a day, not to mention that now the cold winter has come in advance, this is the day to stop the grassland people, the cold winter was a big disaster for us in Youzhou, but now it is definitely a great joy!
When the snow falls, the grassland people will definitely be more difficult than us, and even the loss of soldiers is not non-existent, and the most important thing is that we can use this snowfall to defend the city, and we will not disappoint the order of the lord! ”
Zhang He was overjoyed when he heard this, he only thought of the hardships of the people in the city, but the grassland people outside the city were not as difficult as them.
"Sir is really, and God is too!"
Zhang He was not stingy, but suddenly Zhang He's complexion changed, and so did Mr.
They can know that the snowfall will stop, but the grassland people will also know that if the grassland people send people again at this time, they will definitely be difficult to resist, how can this be good, the situation has changed rapidly!
Without the gates, the pit was of little use.
Xu Shu's heart suddenly became cold, is everything empty, or can't he hold this city?
For the first time, Xu Shu felt desperate, Zhang He looked at Xu Shu, who was a little depressed, and his heart also became depressed, there were too many grassland people, their city was simply difficult to resist, and if the task given by Qin Feng could not be completed, it would ruin the great affairs of King Qin.
"Sir, can we take the initiative to attack?"
Xu Shu looked at Zhang He powerlessly, the enemy was outnumbered, how could he do it.
"Junyi, at this time, we only have five hundred Youzhou Iron Cavalry to deal with the grassland cavalry, but how can we resist just such a little?"
But Zhang He's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he even said with some excitement: "Sir, we can drag on for some time, maybe even the grassland people can be hit hard, no matter how bad it is, try to demolish the house during this time, and the time to prepare for the war is more than enough, as long as there is a glimmer of life, we have to fight, this is what the lord said!" ”
Xu Shu didn't know why Zhang He had so much confidence, but Zhang He didn't say a reason and he didn't want to ask.
In fact, Zhang He didn't know that Xu Shu wanted to ask, but this belonged to the most secret and important secret in the army, and all his self-confidence came from the military book written by Qin Feng himself, the cavalry should be omitted!
When Jizhou returned from the expedition, King Qin treated him with great affection, and Zhang He was grateful, but when King Qin handed him the book of war, Zhang He had already handed over his life to Qin Feng.
Xu Shu looked at Zhang He and finally nodded.
"General, take care!"
Zhang He smiled and said, "Sir, if the last general dies in battle, please tell the lord that the last general has not embarrassed him!" ”
After speaking, Zhang He steadily descended the city wall, leaving Xu Shu a little stunned.
"The general lives up to his lord, how dare Xu Shu!"
Zhang He went out of the city alone, five hundred Youzhou iron cavalry had been assembled, Xu Shu saw Zhang He go majestically, and there was a strong man who would not return, Xu Shu clenched his fists.
"Order the whole city, in order to resist the grassland people, we must demolish the house to prepare for the enemy, the county government will be the first to demolish, go!"
"No!"
The cold wind was blowing, Qin Feng led Yan Yun to ride and did not immediately go to Yuyang to support, but divided the troops into two routes, all the way south to Yuyang, Qin Feng himself led Yan Yun to ride all the people, and the other route was Zhang Fei as the main general, and the deputy general Wu Lisuo led the warriors of the Wu Lisuo tribe to continue to the north, looking for the nest of the grassland people, and inflicted heavy losses.
"Yuan Zhi, Yuyang must not be lost, you must defend it!"
Qin Feng was a little worried in his heart, this time the whole plan was disrupted, Qin Feng had already gotten the news, the reason why the grassland people came to Xu Wushan was because of Yuan Shao, he was also fighting Liaodong now, and if he wanted to pacify Liaodong, he needed the grassland people to drag him down, and even Qin Feng believed that Yuan Shao's intention was definitely more than that, he even wanted to covet Youzhou Liaoxi!
Guan Yu's army can't be wanton, otherwise it will really be lost, Qin Feng will not tolerate it, he didn't have the opportunity to deal with Liaodong at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to become a big disaster now.
"My lord, we will have another day at the earliest, but it will snow heavily tonight, and tomorrow's march will be difficult, so it is estimated that we will not be able to arrive as soon as possible."
Qin Feng looked at Fang Wen and nodded helplessly.
"It's snowing heavily, and it's possible to lose because of the snow!"
Fang Wen didn't know what Qin Feng meant, but he didn't speak, Yan Yun rode the blood-colored torrent flowing in the cold wind, and they wanted to inject Yuyang and defend their homeland!
Kebineng was very angry, and Hu Hada didn't send back the news until now, which made many people look at their jokes, especially Bu Dugen's under-pumped appearance, if Yan Rou hadn't stopped him, it was estimated that he would have killed someone.
"Haha, Kebineng, your people haven't come back yet, how long has it been, they won't all die, right?"
Kebi can see it without even looking at it to know that it must be Budugen, but if you lose, you don't lose the battle, Kebineng just sneered: "Budugen, I'm afraid it's too early to assert now, it must be that Huhada has already broken through the city!" ”
Bu Dugen sneered, of course he didn't believe that Huhada would really be wiped out, especially when he was able to compete with Kebi until now, he knew that Kebi had no mediocre talents under his account, and Huhada was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Report the big order, Huhada has already broken through the city, long live the big order!"
All the people in the tent were stunned at first, Yan Rou's face changed greatly, and her fingers twitched a few times, Ke Bineng was the same, but soon he reacted, Huo Ran got up, took a sip of mare's milk wine, and laughed: "Hahaha, good!" ”
Bu Du Gen's face was blue and ugly, especially Ke Bineng's contemptuous eyes, Bu Du Gen almost went berserk, as for the rest of the people are the same, Ke Bi Neng is strong, it is not good news for them.
Kebi can not care about anything else, what he hopes is to get the Huli tribe.
"Hu Li, I don't know what you said before counts?"
Kebineng was ambitious and looked down at Hu Li.
But he didn't see the disappointment on Hu Li's face, on the contrary, Hu Li smiled with a smile on his face: "Da Dan is ambitious, Hu Li should surrender!" ”
At the moment when everyone's faces were ugly and Hu Li was about to bow down, a Xianbei warrior walked in a panic outside the big tent, his face was full of horror, and he fell to his knees.
Kebineng instantly looked ugly and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Big, big Danyu, Huhada's whole army, the whole army is annihilated!"
Rumble!
Like a super bomb, everyone's minds were full of disbelief, and Kebineng roared even more angrily: "What are you talking about, haven't you already entered the city, what happened?" If you lie about the military, I'll kill you!" ”
Not only Kebi can change color, but the rest of the people are like this, Xianbei people are not the Hu Li tribe, they are a strong existence on the grassland, and the whole army was wiped out like this, which undoubtedly made everyone panic.
"The Han people are too powerful, let's withdraw!"
"The Han people are not something we can provoke, the snow is about to fall, let's go back as soon as possible!"
Kebineng suddenly roared angrily: "Shut up! ”
