Chapter 140: Ambush again
About an hour or so passed, and it was three quarters past the hour.
The commander led his soldiers to carry a hundred ladders to return to Uyan.
Looking at the siege ladder with a rather simple style, Wu Yan let out a long sigh helplessly.
Seeing this, the commander sneered awkwardly, bowed and saluted: "Time is in a hurry, there is no time to make all preparations, and you can only use these simple ladders." ”
Wu Yan nodded helplessly and said, "Pass my general order and prepare to attack the city." ”
Wu Yan's voice lagged behind, but he saw Lou Ban suddenly pull out the saber at his waist, looking at Gao Xianchengtou, looking eager to try.
Seeing this, Wu Yan hurriedly moved to the front of Lou Ban, stretched out his hand to take the saber that Lou Ban held tightly in his hand, forcibly inserted it back into the scabbard, and said: "The Han people have a saying, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can you be in danger as the son of Lord Wuhuan?" ”
When Lou Ban heard this, he frowned, and said angrily: "It is precisely because I am the son of Lord Wuhuan that I should make the choice of living and dying with the Wuhuan warriors." ”
"No..."
When Wu Yan heard this, he refused to make any concessions, but looked directly into Lou Ban's eyes, and argued: "Before leaving, the adults deliberately told me to let me take you back safe and sound, if you have an accident, no one including me, can withstand the anger from the adults, and please read it for the sake of our acquaintance, and endure it for a few more years, and when you become an adult, no one will be able to restrain you." ”
Wu Yanxiaozhi was moved by emotion and reason, Lou Ban was speechless, and exhaled a long breath, his body was like a deflated ball, and he suddenly softened.
Lou Ban made a whistle at the war horse that was in the shade of the tree, and the war horse was quite spiritual, and immediately took small steps and came to the front of Lou Ban.
Lou Ban turned over and got on the horse in front of Wu Yan, and immediately looked at Wu Yan on the side condescendingly, and said, "Are you satisfied now?" ”
Wu Yan smiled slightly and said, "After the city is broken, the first credit belongs to you, and you will sit firmly in the Chinese army." ”
When Lou Ban heard this, he pursed his lips disapprovingly, waved his hand to Wu Yan indiscriminately, and said, "Hugh wants to delay time here, quickly order someone to blow the horn of attack, and prepare to attack the city." ”
"Yes."
Wu Yan solemnly saluted Lou Ban, then turned over and rode his horse, leading two thousand Wuhuan soldiers to walk slowly towards Gao Xian.
After a long time.
Behind him came the melodious and muffled sound of an attack horn.
Wu Yan led the army to a stone's throw away from Gaoxian City, immediately pulled out the saber at his waist, pointed directly at the head of Gaoxian City, and said: "Your Excellency has a life, after breaking the city, Zhun Er and others indulged in looting for three days." ”
Wu Yan waved his knife and pointed directly at the head of Gao Xian City, and shouted loudly: "Kill !! ”
When the Wuhuan soldier heard this, his body was like a conditioned reflex, and he immediately rushed out.
In fact, Wuyan and Lou Ban analyzed it well, there were only less than 2,000 defenders in Gaoxian City, but Xigaima, which was less than 100 miles away from Gaoxian City, had thousands of troops led by Chai Shao as backup.
High show the head of the city.
Lei Wanchun condescendingly looked at the Wuhuan soldiers who were running wildly with the ladder, silently calculated the distance between the two sides in his heart, and after the other party entered the land of an arrow, he slowly raised his right hand and ordered loudly: "Release the arrow." ”
After Lei Wanchun's voice fell, the sound of bending bows and arrows suddenly sounded at the head of the city, and then, dense arrows poured down from the head of the city, and all fell into the crowd that was running wildly.
After a round of fire, at least thirty or forty Wuhuan soldiers were unfortunately hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming in pools of blood.
Due to the limited number of attackers and defenders, the Wuhuan soldiers deliberately spread the battle line wide during the charge, with at least a meter of distance between the soldiers, so that the arrows pouring down from the head of Gao Xian Castle hardly caused them any noticeable damage.
In the process of charging, the Wuhuan soldiers stubbornly carried down three rounds of shooting, and after paying the lives of more than 100 soldiers, they finally broke through the layers of blockade of the Han army and rushed to the city of Gaoxian in one fell swoop.
Seeing that his soldiers had broken through the Han army's blockade so easily, Wu Yan's heart suddenly became a little uneasy, and he frowned: "It always feels like something is missing?" But I couldn't remember for a while, what was missing? ”
"Rejection?"
Suddenly Lou Ban's voice came from behind him, Wu Yan heard this, and suddenly his heart was shocked, and he subconsciously asked, "Why didn't you refuse the horse?" ”
Wu Yan said, looked sideways at Lou Ban who was standing side by side with him, frowned, and said, "Didn't you let you sit in the Chinese army?" What are you doing here? ”
"Relax, this is still two hundred steps away from the city, and even a marksman can't kill me in one blow in a melee." Lou Ban said disapprerovingly.
Hearing this, Wu Yan frowned, and immediately asked a very crucial question, "Why don't the Han people place barricades and reject horses under the city?" ”
When Lou Ban heard this, he rolled his eyes speechlessly, spread his hands, and said, "You actually came to ask me about this kind of thing, a person who is new to the battlefield?" You really think of me, and I thank you. ”
Lou Ban then added: "Xu doesn't think it's necessary." ”
"Not necessary?"
When Wu Yan heard this, the doubts in his heart deepened a little, and said, "Why is it not necessary? ”
"Hey..."
When Lou Ban heard this, he felt very speechless, rolled his eyes, and said, "You're not finished, are you?" ”
As soon as Lou Ban's voice fell, he suddenly saw Wu Yan beside him slap his thigh heavily, and let out an exclamation on the spot, saying, "Hurry up Mingjin, order the troops to retreat, let them come back, come back quickly." ”
Wu Yan was so anxious that he slapped his thigh, turned around and kept waving in the direction of the Chinese army.
However, the sound on the battlefield had already overshadowed everything, and Wuyan's own voice alone could not change any result at all, so Wuyan hurriedly ordered the herald to go to the Chinese army to deliver the order on his behalf, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw the troops and order the whole army to withdraw quickly.
Looking at the Wuhuan soldiers who had successfully crossed the moat and marched to the foot of Gaoxian City to climb the ladder to attack the city, Wu Yan suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Lou Ban saw that Wu Yan's face suddenly became cloudy, so he frowned and asked, "What happened?" Don't hide it from me. ”
"The Han army did not reject the horse under the city, I am afraid that there are ambushes."
The more Wu Yan thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he hurriedly said: "Something is wrong, I will quickly lead the army to retreat to a safe place, and then it is not too late to make a long-term plan." ”
As soon as Wu Yan's words fell, he heard a sudden sound like thunder behind him, and before Wu Yan could speak, he heard Lou Ban shout in shock on his face: "The Han army has an ambush." ”
Looking at the Wuhuan soldiers who were crowded under Gaoxian City, Wu Yan's face was bitter, and he immediately pushed Lou Ban, who was still in shock, and said, "Run, run, it's too late." ”
Wu Yan said, grabbed the reins of Lou Ban's horse, pulled his war horse and fled westward.
Lou Ban had already been frightened by the sudden Han cavalry, and at this moment, like a marionette, let Wuyan pull the reins of his horse and run all the way west.
It stands to reason that the sound of the Han cavalry charging came from the north, so Wuyan and Lou Ban rushed westward, but there was nothing wrong with it.
However, there are many people in the world who are smarter than them, Yuwen Chengdu has already predicted Wuyan's prediction, and when he was about to lead the army to Gaoxian City, he took An Lushan to break away from the large army, all the way to the west, and stopped on the road to Wangping.
