Text: The Struggle of Great Powers_Chapter 199 Zhang Han was besieged

Inside the Lord's Mansion of Birk City.

Hatton sat on the plush chair and looked at the few generals in the hall in front of him.

Alas~ It's not that there are no generals under him, but the losses of generals for a while are indeed serious. When he attacked Beichen before, he killed two generals, which made him feel distressed and half dead. Now the Beichen army has come to take revenge, and has taken down its own ordinary city in one go, and the rest of the cities are also separated from Bilk City.

When the Beichen army captured those cities, several generals did not escape, and almost all of them were killed. After losing more than a dozen generals, he now has a few generals in front of him. As for the other 2 big tabula rasa generals, they are useless at all.

"Generals, let's talk about whether we want to go out of the city to save the reinforcements from the west." Hatton asked, frowning. Reinforcements from the west were ambushed by the Beichen Army and surrounded by a gorge in the Uzi Mountains.

The lives of 400,000 United Sergeants who came from afar were in danger. This is the information that Hatton just got yesterday, and it has been two days since the night when the Beichen Army ambushed the Combine Army. After all, if the Combine wants to pass the distress envelope, it will take time. Even if the Beichen army inadvertently released some water, it still took two days.

"King, I think we should go and save it. First, they are all Allied forces that have come to our aid, and if we don't, we will be left alone. Second, without reinforcements, we will definitely not be able to hold the city of Birk. A middle-aged general in the hall immediately responded.

As soon as Carter finished speaking, a general behind him hurriedly answered: "General Carter, you said that you were going to help the Allies, but how many troops should we send?" There are more troops sent, and the Beichen army takes the opportunity to attack the city, and the city of Bilk will definitely be lost. If there are fewer soldiers sent, and 400,000 people can't break through the encirclement, what's the use of having 20,000 or 30,000 more? ”

"yes, yes!"

As soon as the young general's voice fell, a voice of approval sounded in the hall.

Carter didn't speak, just looked at the juniors coldly. No matter how much they talk to them, the final outcome is not something they can decide. He is just a general under the king, and it is enough to give advice.

As for how the king chooses, it is none of his business, and when the Beichen army breaks through the city, he will surrender and it will be over. What died for the king, just talk about it, don't take it seriously.

In the past, when the United Army formed an allied army and planned to attack Beichen, he advised the king not to go. We are too close to Beichen here, it's good to win, and if we fail, we are definitely the first to suffer from the big seedlings. Now that he really responded to his words, the army of millions attacked Beichen, lost his troops, and fled back in embarrassment.

Just a few days after the end of the war, Beichen's 1.5 million army marched directly westward, and in less than ten days, it reached the city of Birk in one go. This kind of strength, not to mention the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Birk City, plus the more than 1 million troops who came to help, may not be able to fight.

As for his suggestion to rescue the reinforcements, there are actually two meanings. The first is that if reinforcements can be rescued, Birk City may have a slight chance to hold on, but this chance is too small. Second, if there is really no way to save the reinforcements, then he and the king can still take out some soldiers and horses and leave the dead place of Birk City.

Whether his own king can hear his second meaning or not, he doesn't care. It's naturally good to hear it, and in the end, we're still a little loyal. If you can't hear it, forget it, when the Beichen army breaks through the city, there is no big difficulty in surrendering by yourself.

"Okay, don't make any more noise!" Hatton sat in his chair. Listening to the noisy crowd below, the irritability in my heart became a little stronger.

A small question can cause a quarrel, what the hell is this? Especially those young generals, if they don't go to the rescue army, can these 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city stop the murderous Beichen army? Joke!

The strength of the Beichen Army is very clear to itself, and without the help of reinforcements, there will be no other result than breaking the city. Therefore, I still have to listen to Carter's words and go to help the reinforcements relieve the siege.

Hatton said angrily, causing the entire hall to calm down instantly. Hatton continued, "General Carter has a point, we can't hold Birk without the help of reinforcements. In that case, we still have to go and help the reinforcements to relieve the siege. ”

"General Carter, I will give you 50,000 elite soldiers, can you complete the task of rescuing reinforcements?" Hatton looked at Carter and said.

Carter straightened up, looked at Hatton, and said, "King, the last general has no faith. Unless the king can go with the last general, then the last general will have the confidence to rescue the reinforcements! ”

Hatton frowned, he still felt that Carter was more reliable just now. Why did you give such a whole thing to the master in a blink of an eye, and I didn't go by myself, I don't have confidence in this product. Isn't it possible for you to be a child, and you need a bigger character to pass.

Eventually, Hatton agreed to Carter's request. After all, it is he who is facing the dilemma, and the people under him are just doing their own work. With their boss gone, they can soon find another boss to play with.

So, for the sake of their own family business, for a better future. Hatton chooses to follow Carter to rescue reinforcements trapped in the Uzi Mountains. This matter was settled in this way, and the young generals didn't say anything, just silently watched and didn't know what they were thinking.

In the afternoon, Hatton and Carter, along with another veteran general, had put their troops in order and rushed out of the city gates. 50,000 men and horses, accounting for half of the army in the city of Birk. After opening the gates, the army moved quickly to the west.

Hatton felt very lucky, because the Beichen army did not come out to attack the city in the past two days. Just now, after the 50,000 troops rushed out of the city gate, they marched for more than ten miles in a row, and they did not meet a single Beichen sergeant. This must be because the Beichen Army thinks that they dare not go out of the city, so they are so lax.

Hatton took 50,000 men and horses and quickly passed through the demarcated area of Birk City. When you walk out of here, you will come to a grassland, and a little green has been revealed in the withered yellow grass. Twenty miles out of Birk City, only twenty miles away from Birk City will you see grass, and within twenty miles there is only yellow land left.

A short distance after the army marched west again, there was a sudden commotion in the rear of the column. In a few moments, a horseman came running.

"Qi my king, the cavalry of the Beichen Army appeared ten miles away in the rear, and the number was about 10,000!"

Hatton's expression changed, and his brow furrowed. As soon as he wanted to speak and ask about this soldier, General Carter, who was beside him, took the lead in asking, "Is there a foot army behind the cavalry of the Beichen Army?" ”

"General Hui, we haven't seen the Beichen Army's infantry army."

After listening to what the soldier said, Carter exhaled deeply. It's good that there is no infantry, although the cavalry is also very powerful, but not far ahead is a mountain range located above the steppe, the Uzi Mountains!

Without infantry to follow up, even if there were more cavalry from the Beichen Army, it would be useless. In the final analysis, the cavalry was heavily affected by the terrain. In this plain area, he may not dare to compete with the cavalry of the Beichen Army. However, as long as they enter the mountains, do the cavalry of the Beichen Army dare to drill into the ravines?

Soon, Hatton met with the cavalry units of the Beichen Army. The cavalry of 10,000 men was divided into five horizontal columns. Each row is 2,000 cavalry, not to mention how neat it is, but the horizontal row of charging formations is still very shocking to watch.

The red armor is matched with the red vest made by Beichen. The two thousand cavalry in each row were like a blood-colored wave, surging in rows. When Hatton's 50,000 soldiers saw this, their hearts began to tremble.

People will have a fear mentality, and in the face of this cavalry trend, that irresistible psychology instantly rushed to their hearts. A blood-red Beichen Army cavalry seemed to turn into a demon who had just come out of the sea of blood in an instant.

The shocking scene did not stop.

The cavalry of the Beichen Army stopped in an instant when they rushed to a distance of a kilometer from Hatton's troops. All 10,000 horses had just stopped in the front row, and the back row immediately came to a standstill.

The little soldier may not be able to see anything, but Hatton and Carter's faces are full of shock. It's not very difficult to charge in a neat line. But the line stopped advancing instantly, and the line was still neat, which was not something that ordinary cavalry could do.

Without a long period of training, it was impossible for the cavalry to do this. Because horses are not human, they cannot understand human language. Only after a long run-in with the war horse can the war horse understand the meaning of the knight.

However, understanding the meaning does not mean that they can stop instantly, and many war horses will still run two more steps after the master's order. It's a nature, and it's a habit that takes time to get around.

It can be seen from the aspect of riding horses that the cavalry of the Beichen Army is by no means worthy of its name. 10,000 cavalrymen were in the real position, immobile as a mountain, swift as a gale.

It is obvious that the Beichen Army has not yet made up its mind whether to attack itself or not.

Seeing the 10,000 cavalry of the Beichen Army trailing behind, Hatton naturally knew in his heart. The Beichen army didn't want to fight with them, they just wanted to drive the 50,000 troops who ran out of Birk City farther. lest they delay their siege and spoil their good deeds. Perhaps the purpose of the Beichen Army to ambush the Combined Army was to disperse the forces in the city so that they could attack Bilk City.

In this way, I will go to the rescue of the Combine to the west first, and then turn back and enter the city of Birk. A few days ago, he was able to hold the city of Birk with 100,000 people, and now although there are only 50,000 people, he should resist for a while.

It was Ma Chao who led the 10,000 cavalry of the Beichen Army, dressed in a silver helmet and silver armor casually, and the spear in his hand was only obliquely attached to his back, completely listless. But it's no wonder that Ma Chao is really too bad for the task assigned by his future father-in-law.

Two days ago, let us dig the tunnel, forget it, let's buddy admit it. Today, I finally received a task to lead troops, and I still led cavalry. In the end, there was still no fight, just a walk around and it was over. What the is this, after a good show of power, Ma Chao and his 10,000 soldiers are all bored.

After staying for a while, Ma Chao waved his arm, and more than 10,000 Beichen cavalry turned around and left. made Hatton feel a little sobbed, do you say that this Beichen Army is idle and has nothing to do. Pulling a large number of people to run behind their butts and watch them for a long time, then turn around and leave, without saying anything or doing anything.

Hatton cursed jealously at the departing cavalry, and then continued west with Carter. If the Beichen Army does not stop itself from helping the allies, wouldn't that be exactly what they want. After rescuing the allies, he killed the Beichen army without leaving a single piece of armor. But it doesn't feel like it's right.

Before he knew it, Hatton led 50,000 soldiers to the pass of the Uzi Mountains. At the pass, a wide valley comes into view. This is currently the only valley in the entire mountain range, and the rest of the mountain range is full of tall peaks and perhaps cliff trails, anything is possible if you are brave enough to walk.

Hatton's army calmly entered the valley, and the location where the Beichen army ambushed the Allied forces was really in the middle of the valley, and it was still thirty or forty miles away from the mountain pass. I didn't meet any Beichen Army heralds along the way, so I don't need to worry about the Beichen Army coming over to block my road.

Well, why does it feel a little wrong?

Hatton sat on horseback, looked at the marching army in front of him, and turned his head to look at the low hills on either side. An inexplicable feeling arose in my heart, always feeling as if something was going to happen.

Oh buy ga, bad thing!

A very troublesome question suddenly came to Hatton's mind, since the Beichen Army used an ambush to attract himself to lead a large army to rescue. The garrison of Bilk City was reduced by half, and the Beichen Army would definitely take the opportunity to attack. Well, what about your own side!

The Beichen army guessed that he would lead the army to rescue the allies, so how could he not be a little prepared.

"Stop!" Hatton shouted panickedly around him. Afterwards, Carter also hurriedly shouted: "The whole army stops advancing!" ”

There was only a second or two difference between what the two men said, and it was obvious that both of them had thought of this question. And Hatton and Carter also glanced at each other, and saw the same surprise in each other's eyes.

"Wang...."Carter was about to say something when he was interrupted by Hatton.

"Don't say anything, we must have been tricked, hurry up and order the army to withdraw from the valley!"

"No!" Carter saluted, and then shouted to the army: "Retreat, retreat from the valley!" ”

It was impossible for the 50,000 army to get the order to retreat instantly, and dozens of heralds quickly headed towards the front and rear armies.

The 20,000 horses located in the middle army, the moment the order was given, began to turn. As soon as the rear army changed to the front army, it immediately withdrew from the valley. Although it feels a little strange about this order, it is a good thing not to go head-to-head with the Beichen Army!

The rear army soon received the military order as well, and the 20,000 rear army immediately turned into the front army, moving quickly towards the outside of the valley. The 20,000 horses of the Chinese army behind him and the 10,000 horses of the transformed rear army also followed.

Hatton and Carter, who were in the middle of the army, were even more impatient, and they were very dissatisfied with the current speed of the army, and they wanted to fly out of the valley in an instant. Knowing the conspiracy of the Beichen Army, where does Hatton still have the leisure to take care of other people, and now that he can get out of the valley one step earlier, his safety will be increased.

As the host, Hatton couldn't know the terrain around him better. Outside of the city of Bilk, only the Uzi Mountains are a very good location, and the rest of the place has no terrain where the army can be hidden. If the Beichen Army wants to ambush itself, the Uzi Mountain Road is undoubtedly the best choice. You can't run away if you want to, and a path leads to the end, where you say you can run.

The 20,000 horses that had just been transformed into the front army stopped after running fast for half an hour. It's not that I don't want to run, the road in front of me is blocked, and I can't run at all.

The front army stopped, and the middle and rear armies could only stop helplessly. Hatton and Carter also rode their horses to the position of the front army.

The first thing that imprinted in front of me was the red phalanx at the mouth of the valley, which was the Beichen Army. Only the Beichen Army is such a blood-red armor, it seems that it is not easy for him to go back. 30,000 soldiers of the Beichen Army lined up in a neat formation and blocked the mouth of the valley. Ahead are dozens of tall horses in a row, and their role is not small.

Archers in the Cold Weapon period, if equivalent to machine guns. Then this rejection of the horse is barbed wire, with the bow and arrow, it will definitely make you very cool.

"Wang, tens of thousands of Beichen Army soldiers have also appeared behind!" A soldier told Hatton a bolt of the blue again.

Hatton didn't speak, quietly looking at the more than 30,000 Beichen troops in front of him, and the 20,000 people who had just appeared in the valleys on both sides. 50,000 men and horses have blocked their way back. Counting on this group of people under his command, it is simply impossible to break through the defense line of the Beichen Army.

His own troops are not at the same level as the Beichen Army, and even in the entire United Army, there is no force that can fight the Beichen Army head-on. Nima, bully! Originally, the strength could not defeat others, and now they have been ambushed one after another, these Chinese are really too insidious.

"Pass the order, the army will break through to the west with all its might, and strive for a round with the allies!" Hatton looked at the Beichen Army in front of him helplessly, and could only choose to order a breakthrough to the west.

There is no need to think about it in front, not to mention the tens of thousands of Beichen troops, just those rejections are enough to withstand themselves. Maybe it would be better to fight the Beichen Army behind.

As soon as Hatton gave the order, tens of thousands of troops immediately turned around again and headed towards the rear. Xiao Chen, who was standing on the top of the hill, looked at this scene and wondered a little in his heart.

Not long after I ran over from Donglin City, I grabbed such a task to play. In order to be able to watch the fierce battle scene again, Xiao Chen took it upon himself to reduce the troops blocking the mountain pass to 30,000 horses. Even more than 20,000 archers were arranged on the hills. But why does this bastard still run backwards, why don't you come to attack you?

Could it be that he still thinks that the Beichen Army behind him is weaker?

Stupid hanging?

He arranged 50,000 horses there, although there were not many, but there were also rejected horses and archers. The archers were transferred by Yun Qi, who ambushed the combined army, and there will be no fighting over there for the time being. Therefore, Yun Qi transferred a lot of troops to his side to mix credit.

The point is that all the people in the cloud tune are interrupted in the valley, that is, where Hatton is going, and if he doesn't do it, he won't die!
