Chapter 301: Reinforcements Arrive
The heavy cavalry was in charge of Meng Tian, and it was immediately brought to Bai Zhong, with a total of 20,000 people.
In addition, there was a group of light cavalry, also 20,000 people, following behind the heavy cavalry, Qin Qing's efficiency was very high, and he really brought back enough Hequ horses to form heavy cavalry.
Meng Tian briefly explained the situation, and said: "The heavy cavalry has just been formed, and before much training, it has been ordered to go on the expedition, and it may not meet the expectations of the generals in terms of tacit understanding and strength. ”
Bai Zhong said: "There are still a few months before the ice and snow melt, enough to train, and the ice and snow are not the conditions for stopping training." ”
"I see!"
Meng Tian nodded.
The heavy cavalry was quickly taken down by him, and without resting, immediately began training.
Li Xin stepped forward and said, "General, when I destroyed Chu, I disappointed you, and I will definitely not make any mistakes again this time!" ”
"I believe in you."
Bai Zhong didn't care about the previous matter, and said: "The king also believes that you are capable, so he transferred you from Xiao Guan in advance, if you have merit this time, you can offset your previous mistakes." ”
"Alright, you have come so far, go and rest first."
Now there is no need to fight for the time being, but only to train and prepare for war, and wait for the Huns to go south again.
They all know that the Huns have died so many people, they will not stop there, and in the season when the ice and snow melt, they will definitely come to attack Yanmen Pass again, and that is the opportunity to make contributions.
——
Yang Duanhe only used 50,000 people to block the attack of 200,000 Qi troops at the west of Liaocheng and Boling, at the junction of Qin and Qi, and immediately shocked the entire Qi country.
As Bai Zhong said, the Qi army has no killing intent, the army has no killing intent, no matter how sharp the soldiers are, no matter how many troops there are, they are still vulnerable.
He fought with Qi Jun four times.
The four times were all attacked by the Qi army, defended by the Qin army, and all of them were defended, and the losses were not large, but they killed more than 50,000 enemies, so frightened that the Qi army did not dare to launch the fifth attack.
Yang Duanhe's confidence is high, winning more with less, in fact, he can do it himself, but he can't float yet, always raise his vigilance to the highest, and be ready to fight with the Qi army for the fifth time at any time.
"General, we captured five Qi army scouts."
A subordinate general came over and said: "After torture, they truthfully said that the Qi army is not in harmony, and now the weather is getting colder and colder, and they will not attack us again in a short time, and they want to drag it all the way until the Xiongnu send troops to support the Qi country." ”
The Qi army did not dare to attack, and Yang Duanhe did not dare to take the initiative to fight.
After all, the gap in the number of troops between the enemy and us is still too great.
Yang Duanhe said: "Continue to be vigilant, the enemy's scouts, all killed!" ”
"Yui!"
This ministry will bring people down immediately.
Looking at the snow in the sky, Yang Duanhe's heart slowly calmed down, and when he was about to go back to rest, another general came over and said, "General, we got the news that the reinforcements have arrived at Yanmen Pass, and General Li You has led 80,000 troops to support us." ”
"Finally waiting for reinforcements!"
Yang Duanhe's face was overjoyed.
When Li You's 80,000 people came to the army, he could take the initiative to attack, first solve all the more than 100,000 Qi troops in front of him, and then he asked: "How long will it take for General Li You to arrive?" ”
"About five days."
The general said.
From Yanmen Pass to Handan, the distance is relatively far, coupled with the heavy snow, the rush is destined not to be too fast, five days, you can wait.
Yang Duanhe said: "Arrange someone to answer." ”
"Yui!"
The general responded.
Victory is at hand.
Yang Duan's previous worries could be thrown aside, and thinking of the gap between himself and Bai Zhong, he sighed in his heart, Bai Zhong could be promoted so quickly, it was not for nothing.
The gap between his ability and Bai Zhong's is still too big.
——
Yuyang is not very far from Yanmen.
Zhang Tang had already arrived, several days earlier than Li You's progress, but now in Yuyang, the situation is not very good.
The Huns in western Liaoxi did not retreat because they couldn't withstand the wind and snow like the north of Yanmen Pass, and the weather in western Liaoxi was not as bad as that in the north of Yanmen Pass, and with the assistance of Yan Guo, they basically suppressed the guards of Yuyang to fight.
Of the 50,000 soldiers and horses, only more than 30,000 remained, barely able to hold on.
When Zhang Tang arrived, he happened to meet the Xiongnu and the Yan army to join forces, and once again attacked the city, he immediately led his troops to the edge of the city gate, this strange army quickly alleviated the disadvantage of Yuyang, and temporarily beat the enemy who was besieging the city away.
"Reinforcements are finally here!"
Yuyang's guards cheered excitedly.
According to his judgment, Yuyang can hold on for two more days at most, and he will not be able to hold on, and he is ready to abandon the city and flee and go back to Shanggu, and finally wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and the pressure on his shoulders has decreased sharply.
Seeing that the enemy had temporarily retreated, the guards immediately opened the city gate and let Zhang Tang and them enter the city.
"Meet the General!"
The guards said in unison.
Zhang Tang said: "I am ordered by the general to stick to Yuyang with you, you don't have to be polite, how many troops are there for the enemy outside the city?" ”
"More than 300,000!"
The guard said helplessly.
Zhang Tang was surprised: "Yuyang only had 50,000 people at the beginning, borrowing the advantages of the city, 50,000 resisted the attack of more than 300,000 people, you are very powerful." ”
The defender explained: "The Huns are not good at attacking the city, there is no discipline at all, the Yan army can attack the city, but the ability is not enough, although the enemy is strong, but not neat enough, we can barely resist, if General Zhang comes two days late, we can only abandon the city and flee, back to defend the upper valley." ”
"That's pretty good, too!"
Zhang Tang thought for a while, and then asked: "Is there a shortage of food in the army?" ”
The guard said: "There is no shortage, and you can transfer grain from Shanggu at any time." ”
There is no shortage of food, enough to survive the entire ice and snow season, Zhang Tang thought about it quickly, and said: "Stick here first, and when the ice and snow melt, the general will have a way, and he will come to support, and now strengthen the city tower as much as possible." ”
"Yui!"
The many guards said in unison.
On the afternoon of the second day when Zhang Tang arrived, the enemy outside the city was not afraid of ice and snow and came to attack the city again.
They also want to take Yuyang as soon as possible, occupy everything inside, survive this winter, and then continue to the west.
Yan Wangxi was eager to recover the lost land, and the Huns wanted to occupy the Central Plains, and they were all for their own interests, and they fought brutally on this land.
Listening to the sound of war drums, Zhang Tang hurriedly went to the city tower and said loudly: "Crossbowmen come first......
The battle to defend Yuyang began again.
Zhang Tang saw for the first time how the Huns attacked the city, just as the defenders said, the Huns were not good at attacking the city, although with the assistance of the Yan army, the discipline was integrated and became more orderly, but on the whole it was still not very good.
If it were in the army of generals, such a chaotic army would only starve, suffer for three days and three nights.
The Yan army will attack the city, and it is more neat, but the overall strength is too weak, and it was disabled by Wang Jian before, and now there is a kind of awe for the Qin army from the heart.
"Kill!"
Zhang Tang felt that the battle to defend the city was not difficult to fight.
If it is a hand-to-hand encounter, it is impossible to judge, because he has not fought with the Huns yet, but there are so many enemies, it should not be easy.
