Chapter 307: Yuyang Chengwai
Penetrate into the enemy's rear army and destroy the enemy's morale, and the first thing is to destroy the baggage.
The best course of action, naturally, is to set it on fire.
If the fire goes down, even if it can be extinguished, it will be almost destroyed, and Li Xinxin's is also set on fire, and the fire quickly ignited the things on the car, and the smoke billowed and the fire soared into the sky.
The Hun soldiers fought the fire while resisting Li Xin's attack.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from the south.
The Hun cavalry of the front army finally came to support, shouted loudly in the Hun dialect that Li Xin did not understand, and then accelerated the galloping speed, approaching the side in the blink of an eye.
"Retreat!"
Of course, Li Xin still remembered that the general said that he couldn't fall in love with the war, and he left as soon as he succeeded.
Five thousand heavy cavalry, leaving in the direction of coming.
However, the speed of the heavy cavalry was not as fast as that of the Hun cavalry, and it was soon overtaken by a group of 15,000 cavalry, and the heavy cavalry, who was at the end, stabbed the horse lance back.
The Hun cavalry, who had just run closer, was caught off guard and killed hundreds of people.
The others dodged the edge of the horse lance and increased their speed to intercept and surround them.
"Get out!"
Li Xin shouted, the horse lance waved, and the Hun cavalry in close proximity was knocked down by him.
There are also some Hun cavalry, drawing bows and shooting arrows, but the horse armor is strong, and the armor of the Qin knights is not bad, even if they are injured, they are not fatal, as long as they are not fatal, they can still fight.
The superiority of the heavy cavalry is well reflected.
"General Li, break through quickly!"
At this moment, a group of light cavalry arrived.
The person who spoke was Yingshu, the speed of the light cavalry was very fast, she led the troops here first, and Bai Zhong was still behind.
Seeing that the general had also arranged someone to pick him up, Li Xin's confidence increased greatly, and he shouted: "Break through!" ”
As soon as the light cavalry approached, the crossbow arrows covered the Hun cavalry, and Yingshu and them changed positions while running and shooting at the heavy cavalry that assisted Li Xin to break through.
Li Xin quickly broke through and killed.
After the two sides rendezvous, they ran south at the same time.
After the battle just now, the strength of the Hun cavalry was greatly damaged, and they were afraid of the cavalry shooting ability of the light cavalry, so in the end, they could only watch Li Xin and Ying Shu kill out, and they went farther and farther.
Seeing that there were no Hun pursuers in the rear, Ying Shu and the others accelerated their speed to the south and soon joined Bai Zhong.
"General!"
Li Xin tightened the reins, made the war horse stop, and said excitedly: "The heavy cavalry is too easy to use, invincible, and no one can stop it." ”
Realizing the benefits of heavy cavalry, Li Xin and his subordinate knights were excited.
"Go back to Yanmen Pass first, and then the Huns will definitely be very angry, and it is possible to storm Yanmen Pass."
Bai Zhong said.
The Huns were played by these 20,000 cavalry for so long, and tens of thousands of cavalry were killed.
It is very likely that Tou Manshan will lead his troops to attack Yanmen Pass.
Now the number of heavy cavalry and 10,000 light cavalry is less than 10,000, following behind Bai Zhong, and soon return to Yanmen Pass.
Seeing that Bai Zhong and the others came back safely, Chen Ping and Zhang Hanchang breathed a sigh of relief, the general is fine, everything is fine, if something happens, not only will Yanmen not be able to be closed, but their lives will not be guaranteed.
——
Touman finally came to the rear army.
At this time, the fire had been extinguished, and the burned things could not be salvaged, and they were almost burned, but fortunately the damage was not very large.
These baggage weights are placed on the car, not stacked together, and some of the baggage is on fire, and as long as the car is pushed away, nothing else can be burned.
"Damn Haku-chung!"
Touman was angry, anger about to erupt from his eyes.
He had already figured out that the Qin army only used 20,000 cavalry to kill tens of thousands of his tens of thousands, and also burned the baggage with a surprise attack, and finally retreated.
"Speed up the march and storm Yanmen Pass, I want Bai Zhong to kneel down and beg me for mercy."
Touman's voice was filled with unprecedented anger.
The speed of the Huns' march was getting faster and faster.
There is one name in their minds, that is Bai Zhong, they must kill Bai Zhong and wash away today's humiliation.
——
Meanwhile.
Outside Yuyang City, the Yan army and the Xiongnu saw that the ice on the city wall melted into water, and the Yuyang city tower had no protection, and the generals of these two armies directly ordered the siege of the city.
When they were in the winter truce, they also made a few building cars, and at this time, they cooperated with the ladder to approach the city tower together, and the siege battle soon began, and it was still very fierce.
Zhang Tang came to the city tower and quickly commanded the soldiers to defend the city.
The Huns seem to have learned some siege techniques again, this time the attack is no longer as chaotic as before, they know how to use formations, and discipline is no longer chaotic, not the kind of desperate brainless rush.
With the cooperation of the Yan army, the coalition army is full of momentum.
Despite this, Zhang Tang was not under much pressure, and let people use all kinds of city defense equipment to slaughter the enemies who attacked Yuyang, and the corpses piled up more and more outside the city.
Zhang Tang watched this offensive and defensive battle go on to a white-hot level, and said loudly: "Wave the red flag!" ”
Above the Yuyang City Tower, there is also a huge red flag.
It was the code of their contact with Meng Tian and Gengwu, as long as they saw the red flag waving on the city tower, they could launch an attack.
This plan was conceived by Meng Tian.
In the rear of the Xiongnu and Yan armies, 25,000 cavalry were stationed, 10,000 were light cavalry, 10,000 were heavy cavalry, and 5,000 were the cavalry of the Iron Eagle Ruishi.
"General Geng, Red Flag!"
Meng Tian pointed in the direction of Yuyang City Tower.
Geng Wu said: "Waving the red flag, you can fight." ”
"Kill it!"
Meng Tian turned over and got on his horse.
All the cavalry mounted their horses, held their horses tightly in their hands, and with Meng Tian's order, they rushed out and slaughtered the enemy's army.
Geng Wu led the Iron Eagle Ruishi, which was different from Meng Tian's, with bows and crossbows, and horizontal knives, which belonged to free movement, running the fastest, and killing the enemy after a while.
"Kill!"
Geng Wu rode his horse and kicked a Hun infantry into the air.
The other enemies found that the Qin army still had cavalry outside Yuyang City, and they attacked from their own rear, and some people immediately came back to their senses and wanted to resist, but the cavalry of the Iron Eagle Ruishi had stronger combat effectiveness in close quarters.
Cavalry against infantry is a crushing in strength.
Geng Wu led the sharp soldiers and crushed them with cavalry, and no one could stop the enemy.
On Meng Tian's side, the situation is similar.
The light cavalry, under the leadership of ten two or five hundred lords, fought separately, attacked from a distance with bows and crossbows, and shot the enemy, and the heavy cavalry, like the iron eagle sharps, charged into battle and fought in close quarters.
Kill in first, then sprint out.
The heavy cavalry and the iron eagle warriors cooperated, one in and one out, killing all directions, and the enemies kicked by the front hooves of the war horses alone were countless, and they killed more with their horse lances and horizontal swords.
All the Yan army and Xiongnu soldiers who were besieging the city learned that the Qin army was coming from the rear, and they were still cavalry, so they could only divide part of their forces to go back to deal with it.
The enemy's siege force was reduced, and Zhang Tang, who was defending the city, was even more stressless.
