Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The night was dark, and there was not a single bright color in the sky. Zhu Biao, who had read through the "Ganshi Star Sutra" and bought a new copy of the "Book of Heavenly Officials" to study, smiled, he really didn't feel wrong, the sky changed at night, the stars and the moon were gone, and the sky was dark.
The south gate of Beiling was black, and the horses galloped to the nearby Uwei Tuo, and hundreds of black shadows could be faintly seen gathered on the city wall, not the city head.
"Troop transfer—"
"Yes, King!"
One of the guards turned his horse and ran towards the South Gate Hu Ying. Uwei looked at the growth king beside him, "The king, you may be able to see the ...... of the city."
The distance of two miles, the growth of the Dharma shook his head, he himself is not an infrared scanner.
And so, silence was restored again. Only occasionally the sound of the horse's nose sounded, and it was impossible to be heard by the Han army at the head of the city two miles away.
Little by little, time passed.
Dozens of ropes were lowered from the top of the city, and then one by one, the black ones slowly and silently slid down the city wall along the hanging ropes. And above the city, there are people looking forward to it, and I don't know how many people there are.
Uwei immediately concluded that this was Zhu Biao's troops to attack secretly, and immediately ordered to catch up quietly, tens of thousands of horse-bound cavalry, riding forward, arrows raining down.
Tens of thousands of cavalry is tens of thousands of archers, galloping horses, two miles of land in an instant, to the city to release arrows, for a while, the city is ten thousand arrows at once.
The sudden sound of horses' hooves made the Han army at the head of the city panic, and the rain of arrows sent out made the Han army suffer a lot of losses.
More than a dozen rounds of rapid fire covered every inch of space on the southern city wall of Beiling, and hundreds of thousands of sharp arrows were fired, in exchange for a deathly silence, and there was no news on the southern city wall.
After squatting under the city for two moments, Uwei and Anaqiongqi looked at each other and smiled, and led their troops back to the camp.
However, within an hour, Uwei was woken up again, and the Han army was found moving on the northern wall of the camp opposite him......
Half an hour later, it seemed to be repeating the scene on the southern wall. Under the fire of more than 20,000 random arrows, the screams changed from high to low.
The ruined northern wall has been turned into a hedgehog by arrows!
Cycle after cycle, cycle after cycle. On this night, from Uwei to a small soldier in Hu Caizhong, more than 100,000 people could not sleep peacefully at all. First is the South Gate. After the north gate, then the west gate, and finally to the east gate, Hu Qi is a night of surprise.
Hundreds of thousands of arrows were fired. If he could really kill and injure thousands of Han soldiers, Uwei Tuo was tired but happy, but what made people angry was that when the sky was getting brighter, he got the news that he had shot a scarecrow all night.
The sky was bright. The soldiers who were guarding under the city found that the four walls of Beiling City were covered with scarecrows, and they were densely packed with arrows.
Zhu Biao also made the Han army defenders in the city shout: King Xie Youxian sends arrows, King Xie Youxian sends arrows. The angry man is the goo-doo fire! The soldiers and civilians in their Beiling City were so good that they boosted their morale.
Although there are some suspicions of "plagiarism", but now Zhu Biao is not doing it once or twice, can those ancient sages on the earth still run here to ask him for an explanation?
Uwei was busy all night, but he didn't get the job done, but instead sent hundreds of thousands of sharp arrows to the Han army, and he was already angry in his heart. Now that he has been humiliated like this, it is really a great shame, how can he swallow this breath, how willingly!
But this night's busy work, hundreds of thousands of Hu riders have no rest. Now that the sky is bright, it is mostly listless. The physical exhaustion and the mental blow are severe, and the combination of the two is the great decline in the morale of the army after being teased by this. Uwei just wanted to immediately attack and retaliate. Seeing the situation in the camp, he had to press it for the time being.
That night, Zhu Biao repeated the old trick again, but the effect was not great. Hu Qi was already on guard. Seeing the black shadow falling from the city, the eagle on duty at night did not first rush to the camp behind him, but would come forward by himself to see what was going on!
The consequence of this is that the battle between the masters on both sides is fierce again.
Zhu Biao ordered the soldiers to hang a straw man every night, and from time to time he also opened the city gate and rushed out of a hussar brave man, waving his sword at each other, killing the Hu cavalry, the eagle shooter and the garrison at night were terrified.
And during the day, the beaten ones were replaced by the Han army. The thunderbolt car threw stone bullets at Beiling City without his life, and the Hu cavalry siege battle was no longer fought, only playing stone smashing people!
Therefore, the small battle at night, in the eyes of Uwei Tuo, is a manifestation of Zhu Biaoqian's poor donkey skills. For five or six days, seeing that February 18 was approaching, not only did Uwei get used to it, but even the Dharma King and others, as well as the Hu cavalry who were besieging the city at night, gradually adapted to this small action.
The night of February 16 will be another God-given opportunity.
The red sunset fell into the horizon of the western sky, and the earth fell into darkness for another day, Zhu Biao looked at the Huqi camp that was faintly visible in the distance, and his face that had been solemn for many days showed a touch of mockery. For this moment, he has been working on the arrangement these days, and he is worthy of the name of Uwei Tuo.
When the time comes, I'll give you a hard time, and see if you retreat on February 18 or not! With a glimmer of light in his eyes, Zhu Biao slapped his palm on the battlements.
"General Xie, General Li, whether our assault troops can achieve their goal in the first battle tonight does not depend on whether our assault attack will attack Shun Lì, but whether the two generals can hold the retreat." Zhu Biao's eyes fell on Xie Shuyan and Li Yan.
Tonight, the light cavalry of the Han army in Beiling City will all be put into tonight's assault, but it is easy to go out and difficult to come back, so it all depends on the armored infantry army and the tiger battalion.
Xie Shuyan looked solemn, "I wish the general, please rest assured, even if Shuyan dies on the battlefield, he will never take a step back before the army returns to the city." ”
The most direct purpose of tonight's raid is to exhaust the enemy, but the assault force is only 25,000 or 6, how can it be possible to defeat Hu Qi in one blow? After being harassed for the past few days, Uweida had already included the Anaqiongqi Department at the south gate into the camp of the northern city, and the east and west gates had also adjusted their forces. There are at least 100,000 horsemen in its main camp!
A quarter of the military strength sneak attack, if the two sides fight a blind battle, of course, they can defeat the ground, but now the military strength on both sides has already known that Hu Qi is not a vulnerable grass coward, even if they are raided, they have the confidence and courage to persevere to the end. Therefore, tonight's assault battle will make a lot of money in the early stage, and it is not impossible to kill the king of Uweida. But that was until the king's tent of Uweida was reached. His pro-army Golden Wolf Army, Zhu Biao is not sure of a quick victory.
Then there was a brief stalemate, and immediately next to the counterattack of Hu Qi. The ideal tactics of the Han army were to begin to retreat at the moment when the offensive turned to a stalemate.
Zhu Biao thought the same thing, and was ready to do so. Whether or not the plan can be realized smoothly on the battlefield is a major problem. In case the raiding troops were bitten by the Golden Wolf Army, and the Hu cavalry at the east gate and west gate cut off the road, Zhu Biao could only rely on Xie Shuyan's infantry armor and Li Yan's tiger ben.
Patted Xie Shuyan on the shoulder with emotion, this person doesn't have too much selfishness, and he doesn't have too many distractions, he is not brilliant in leading troops to fight, but he has a heavy personality, Li Huizu really left a good helper for himself!
Zhu Biao suppressed the emotion in his heart, looked around at the generals behind him, and said, "Why is the battle tonight fought?" Why fight? ”
"That's so that on that day in two days' time, we can force Uvida to retreat without a fight. Because none of us can believe the 200,000 troops that the imperial court pulled up in the winter. But these 200,000 troops have been pulled up, equipped, and rushed to the battlefield, so we must keep these 200,000 new troops as much as possible. ”
"This is my hope for the future, the hope of the future."
"If Uwei doesn't retreat after two days and fights, what will happen to us? It's more likely to fight for both sides than to win over Hu Qi, right? In that case, the last bit of vitality of my big man will be dispersed. ”
"So this battle must be fought, and it must be won. If he wins, Uwei will be hit hard, and in two days he will most likely not choose to fight hard, our army can live, my 200,000 new army can live, and my big man can live; And if we don't win, who can expect the future fate of my Han? ”
"The rise and fall of the country is in this move, and the officers and men of our army must do their best-"
Zhu Biao rarely had such a long speech before the war, especially when he mentioned the rise and fall of the country in every sentence, so the generals behind him, and even the generals' personal guards, all listened to the blood swelling, and the fighting spirit boiled. Zhu Biao's own eyes were also shining, his face was full of evil energy, and when the last sentence fell, the whole person suddenly revealed a domineering aura that was oppressive and did not dare to look at it directly.
Survival, victory, and the fierce ** in his heart filled Zhu Biao with irrepressible fighting spirit.
Whether it is the feelings in his heart or the consideration of the system concept, he wants to keep the banner of the Northern Han Dynasty!
If, if even these 200,000 new troops are lost, then the military strength of the Northern Han Dynasty is far from the capital of Zhongshan. The national strength is greatly declining, and the whole army will fall into a state where the more and more it is fought! Just like the Ming army, the elite soldiers and fierce generals were defeated, the new army was short of training, and the soldiers were short of food and salary, and the national situation was really irretrievably defeated!
I don't know what the situation is that makes King Han so eager to send troops north. Beiling City can still be defended, and there are still two months of grain and grass in the city. It really doesn't work, the horses are all wasted, and the horse feed can also satisfy hunger. Holding it up into the summer is not a problem!
And in the summer, the combat strength of the 200,000 new army, Zhu Biao is not so worried.
----------------- dividing line---------------------------
An abandoned village more than 30 miles south of Beiling City.
A bonfire was burning undisguised, and on the side, Song Yingzhu, who was covered by a mask, was looking down and pondering something, with his sword lying horizontally on his knees.
At the entrance of the village, a team of eagle archers lay on the ground, and six or seven horses lingered nostalgically, still touching their long-dead masters with their heads from time to time.
