Chapter 4 Powerlessness
Ye Qing let out a sigh of relief, and wondered why the grassland barbarians, who had always believed in blitzkrieg, stopped this time after taking down Dagang Town? You need to know that what you are most afraid of is that the barbarian iron cavalry will drive straight in, causing irreparable damage to Dagang Town and other places, and a large number of his cavalry are in Xincheng, and the mobile ones are only scattered in various capitals, and they cannot be summoned for a while, and although the garrison infantry in various places has some combat strength, the two legs will never be able to catch up with the four legs.
"How are our troops and people in Dagang Town?" Ye Qing then asked.
The messenger's face became heavy, "Master Hou, we have gathered some of the defeated troops, and the news we got from them is that the captain of the garrison of Dagang Town has died heroically after fighting hard. Most of the 3,000 garrisons in Dagang Town were killed in battle, hundreds of people were wounded and captured, and only a few survived among the people. ”
With a bang, Ye Qing kicked over the table and chairs, although the captain of the garrison of a town was only a middle-level officer in Ye Qing's army, he was the first senior general to die in battle since Ye Qing became an army, and there were more than two thousand thousand soldiers, if he had been vigilant enough against the Blood Eagle Tribe, then these sacrifices could have been avoided.
"Master Hou!" Yang Fan took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "Victory or defeat on the battlefield is a common thing, and the soldiers of the garrison die in fierce battles, and they can be regarded as a well-deserved death. This time the Blood Eagle Tribe took advantage, and next time we will double down on it. ”
Jinyiwei's people also stood up, "Jinyiwei should take the main responsibility, we have not detected the movement of the barbarian army, the failure of intelligence is the main reason for our defeat this time, I am willing to accept the general's punishment." ”
Ye Qing waved his hand, his eyes were a little red, "Now is not the time to hold him accountable, to find out the true intentions of the other party this time, what do they want to do?"
Ye Qing was very strange, "The Blood Eagle Tribe's move is indeed taking advantage, but it can't have much impact on the strategic situation of the whole person, the Blood Eagle Tribe can't occupy Dagang Town for a long time, if the barbarian iron cavalry breaks Dagang Town, takes advantage of the situation and retreats, Ye Qing can figure it out and plunder the materials."
But at this time, what is the reason for not fighting, and not leaving? Could it be that the Blood Eagle Tribe still wants to occupy Dagang Town? It is impossible to use barbarian iron cavalry to hold Dagang Town? It is impossible, he can gather a large number of troops in a short period of time under the Qin military command, and it is impossible for the other party to hold it at all.
What does he want to do?" Ye Qing muttered.
"Ordered the two lieutenants of the King of Qin to be stationed on the spot in Shahe Town, on alert, and ordered Qingshui Town and Qinghe Town to assemble troops and wait for the order to attack. ”
"Yang Fan, order Qin Wuling, prepare for war! Issue a mobilization order, and assemble all reserves. "Jin Yiwei is going all out to figure out what Anima's purpose is?"
After Ye Qing issued a series of orders, Qin Wuling immediately rumbled, due to the propaganda in place, Qin Wuling has become accustomed to war, and in just one day, the entire Qin Wuling has become a war machine "All towns have begun to tilt towards the troops, as soon as the combat troops are responded, the reserves have all entered a state of war, and Qin Wuling has begun to impose martial law."
The chariot is like a wall, the spear is like a forest, the regular infantry of the Ye army is like a steel barrier, slowly advancing to a mile away from the city of Dagang Town, and holding the position, and immediately, the cavalry troops are deployed on both wings of the infantry, and the outpost cavalry gallops on horseback, running to hundreds of steps under Dagang Town, a beautiful roundabout, walking around the city, forming a tight formation of two columns neatly galloping from the city.
And a little farther away, the heavy battalion is moving closer to this side, in the heavy battalion, dense as a forest of large trebuchets, up to several zhang of siege vehicles, covered with iron plates, divided into two layers of Mengchong vehicles, sliding ladders and other large siege equipment so that the barbarian iron cavalry at the head of Dagang Town is all discolored, in the manufacture of these war weapons, the steppe people will always stare behind, although they have captured a lot of Terran craftsmen over the years, They can also make some tools like this, but seeing Ye Qing take out so many and dozens of siege equipment at one time, it still makes them lose their color. The barbarians were still accustomed to rushing and killing immediately, deciding victory or defeat by field battles, and defending the city, which they had never thought of before.
Anima, known as the first general of the Blood Eagle Tribe, frowned, stood on top of the tower of Dagang Town, and looked at the Ye army that was still gathering here in the distance. Anima was thin-looking, and compared to the guards standing beside him, the body was thin, her long hair was simply combed into two braids, hanging casually over her shoulders, wearing a scarred black iron armor, holding her helmet in one hand, and holding it on the stack with the other, and the palm bones that were constantly clenched and released were protruding, which seemed extremely powerful.
A tribal patriarch looked worriedly at the growing number of Ye Jun under the city, "Dashuai, will the human race attack the city?"
Anima shook her head, "I don't know. He pointed to the people of Dagang Town, who were being driven by his soldiers to carry the equipment to the city, and said, "We must be ready" for him to forcibly attack the city. ”
The tribal patriarch gasped, it turned out that the marshal was not sure what Ye Qing would do at all, "Marshal, our army is good at field warfare, not good at defending the city, if the other party attacks, we might as well go out of the city to fight......!
Anima smiled slightly, "Age, the warriors of our clan have been running for thousands of miles, people are sleepy and lacking horses, and they have forcibly captured Dagang Town, which is already the end of the crossbow, and at this time go out of the city to fight with such a strong army, what is the victory?"
"Although the other party's cavalry is not many in number, but looking at its lineup, it is really a strong enemy, and the infantry of the human race we often intersect with, it is a difficult bone to gnaw, if my iron cavalry is recuperated, I should have the confidence to defeat it head-on, but now, we are fighting alone, and we are tired, the victory or defeat is not up to me, this battle, how can I fight with him?"
"But the big handsome, "What if Ye Qing forcibly wants to fight......?"
"I'm betting" bet that Ye Qing would not attack, and he would not fight with me for the sake of these tens of thousands of people. Otherwise," Anima clenched his fists hard, "The town of Dagang will be a river of blood......." At this moment, Anima immediately showed his cruel side, "If he dares to fight, he will take these people to the head of the city to resist the army on the opposite side." ”
Hearing this, Patriarch Age sneered: "Hu Shuai is right, I want to see if Ye Qing will do this, to be honest, I am looking forward to him attacking the city? ”
Anima said with a smile: "Looking at Ye Qing, he is really good at winning people's hearts, in my opinion, he will not do this" Although our army is tired, there are still 500,000 sons, and at this time, Ye Qing's army gathered in the city is all his descendants, and he is not completely sure, how can he collide with me, if we are both defeated, can he still sit firmly in the position of the marquis here? Moreover, I don't want to fight with him at this time, Age, the blood eagle patriarch led us to migrate here, not to fight with Ye Qing to defeat both, We still have important things to do, the decisive battle with Ye Qing is still early!"
"Since neither side wants to fight, of course they can't fight. Waiting to plunder enough supplies, we withdrew from Dagang Town, released these people, but detained the soldiers of Dagang Town, and when we left the country, we let these soldiers go back. “
"Tell me to go down, hurry up and scavenge for supplies, and don't leave a grain of food for the Terrans!"
Under the city, the war drums suddenly sounded, the Ye soldiers shouted loudly, the sound shook the clouds, Anima was taken aback, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that the city was dusty, and a strong rider escorted a person to come at a gallop, and the Yezi banner was hunting in the wind, but it was Ye Qing who came to fight in person.
"Qin Wujun, Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!" the soldiers raised their spears and swords and shouted in unison.
Ye Qing stopped the horse, raised his head, his eyes were separated from Anima by a thousand steps, and he collided with each other ruthlessly, and he couldn't help but prompt, no need to introduce" Ye Qing only saw the thin figure standing on the city tower with a helmet in his hand, fluttering behind him, his chest was suddenly rising, and he seemed to feel Ye Qing's mind when he stepped off the war horse, and he stood up with a long neigh.
"Kill*......"
"Kill!"
"Kill*......"
The soldiers shouted wildly, and the ground shook. Seeing that the fighting spirit of the Qin Wu (Ye) army was so strong, Anima, who had been silent on the city tower, finally changed color, "Such a strong army, should be my grassland athlete's fierce enemy!"
Ye Qing destroyed the horse, slowly galloped in front of the queue of warriors, and where he passed, there was a thunderous sound of joy, Ye Qing pressed his hands on the ground, and the team of hundreds of thousands of people immediately fell silent.
"Soldiers," Ye Qing shouted loudly. Pointing to the town of Dagang in the distance.
"I want to kill the damn brutes more than you do."
"Kill them all!" the soldiers immediately echoed.
"But!" Ye Qing raised his voice, "At this moment, in the city, there are still our fathers and fellow villagers, as well as our comrades and siblings, if we attack the city, those barbarians will kill our relatives" and put our relatives on the head of the city to resist us. So, while I'd love to kill them, I can't *......"
"What should we do? Let our fathers, elders, and fellow villagers fall into the hands of these barbarians? No, of course I, Ye Qing, want to rescue them. ”
"Qin Fei, Wang Feng, attack, attack, leave Anima behind for me!" Ye Qing resolutely ordered.
The cavalry on the left and right flanks immediately spread out and galloped away like two iron pincers. Ye Qing led the guard battalion to follow.
Anima laughed and led the army away, and at this time, the people of Dagang Town, who had been freed, stood up one after another and ran to Youcao on the opposite side, but invisibly blocked the advance of Qin Wujun.
Qin Fei and Wang Feng's left and right wings of cavalry chased after more than ten miles, "The sight suddenly appeared most of the barbarian people, seeing the formation waiting on the opposite side, the two captains stopped the pursuit with interest, disturbed the soldiers and horses, and regretfully watched a group of barbarian people into the forest like a swallow into the forest, and then the army turned around and surged into the distance in waves.
