Chapter 1258: A Great Victory
Since the weakening of the Chu state, Shanxi's territory was limited to the Great Wall.
Walking out of Yanmen Pass is like going abroad. And actually. The vast land outside Yanmen Pass is the traditional sphere of influence of the Han people.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty laid down the country.
It's been a long time.
The army of the Han people once again galloped on the land outside the Yanmen Pass.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"
The gate of the wild goose was closed.
The banner of the character "Han" flew in the wind, and the archers of the defenders of Yanmen Pass kept shooting arrows at the archers on the Slavic well carts to cover the cavalry.
And the rest of the soldiers were idle for a while.
All the Slavic hoplites who had landed or were in the process of enrolling in the city left the city walls, gathered together, and fought against the Han army.
When the cavalry charged, and the infantry did not have a complete phalanx.
Although their courage was commendable, they could not compete with the Han cavalry.
The battlefield was full of flesh and blood, and everywhere there was the screams of Slavic hoplites.
The defenders of Yanmen Pass, except for the archers. Looking at the battlefield outside the pass with their commander Xue Pingkou, an indescribable emotion arose, and many soldiers burst into tears and wept silently.
Before that, they really didn't dare to imagine.
Xue Pingkou also dissuaded Wu Min and Feng Chong, garrisoned Xiongguan, and did not want cavalry to charge into battle.
I can't imagine that our big man's iron cavalry is so brave and good at fighting. And the commander-in-chief Wang's eldest son, Qi Hou, Feng Chong, the Duke of Zhao, was so brave.
Compared to them, he is a frog at the bottom of a well.
The Shanxi people stood up.
The Han people stood up.
Feng Chong and Wu Min each took the lead in the cavalry of thousands of households, and in the Slavic army formation, they rushed left and right to kill, and everywhere they passed, it was a mess.
Slavic hoplites, with numerous casualties.
Until the sound of horses' hooves sounded.
"Kill !!!!" After Wu Min killed a Slavic hoplite soldier with a lance in his hand, he heard the movement and turned his head to look at the Slavic camp.
Countless Slavic hoplite knights and cavalrymen rushed in shouting.
It's oppressive.
Especially the heavily armored knight who wears full body armor and only has his eyes exposed. Their defensive power has reached the peak of the Cold Weapon Age.
Wu Min is brave and good at fighting, but he is not a reckless man. smiled at the left and right: "It's late." I'm already killed. Withdraw troops. ”
"Withdrawal !!"
"The Marquis of Qi has an order, withdraw the troops."
The Han soldiers shouted, followed Wu Min to turn around, and headed towards the city gate.
"Stop them. Rely on the strength of the cavalry and annihilate them all. "The Slavic hoplites suffered heavy casualties, and the rest of the people only felt humiliated, and the officers shouted to organize the soldiers and tried to stop Wu Min and Feng Chong.
"The dog that lost his family dares to bark wildly." Wu Min showed contempt in his eyes, rode forward alone, broke into the small army of Slavs, rushed left and right, and killed more than ten people.
The cavalry in the rear followed, quickly drowning the small Slavic heavy soldiers under the torrent of steel.
Under the horse's hooves, it became a meat puree.
Meanwhile. Feng Chong also shouted to retreat. Under their command, the two heavy armored cavalry of the Han army of thousands of households entered the Yanmen Pass side by side.
"Quick. Close the gates. ”
"Quick. Prevent the opposing infantry from entering the city gates. ”
When Feng Chong and Wu Min retreated into Yanmen Pass, Xue Pingkou, who was guarding the city, woke up like a dream and shouted.
The defenders also woke up from a dream, and the archers immediately turned around, constantly pulling the bowstrings, and shooting arrows at the Slavic hoplites under the Yanmen Gate as if they didn't want money.
"Bang Bang Bang !!"
The rest of the troops, whether they were swordsmen, wrestlers, spearmen, and shield soldiers, all bent down, picked up the stones, woods, and other objects on the city wall, and threw them on the ground.
It rained down on stones, wood, and arrows. Slavic hoplites, although brave and good at fighting, cannot go beyond the thunder pool.
The Slavic hoplites, although fast, waited for them to reach the battlefield.
The Han defenders have closed the city gates. And at once there were several huge latches.
The gates are impregnable.
"Hahaha. Joyfully. It's a pleasure. This is cavalry. How could the cavalry defend the city? It's too tyrannical. Feng Chong laughed, threw the big knife in his hand to his own soldiers, turned over and dismounted, and shouted happily.
"Huh." Wu Min also smiled, his expression full of happiness.
The two heavy armored cavalrymen of the thousand households were all holding their heads high, looking very happy, proud and proud.
Wu Min and Feng Chong asked thousands of households to count the number of people and treat the wounded.
The damage is minimal.
Eighty-two people were killed in battle.
Thirty-one people were seriously injured.
Minor injuries to hundreds of people.
"Qi Hou, Zhao Guogong. It's really ten thousand enemies. The end will be admired. Xue Pingkou took his own soldiers down the pass, and when he saw the two, he immediately bent down and saluted, and said with sincerity.
Needless to say, Wu Min said.
Feng Chong's stinky mouth is very annoying. But looking at his heroic posture galloping on the battlefield, Xue Pingkou still thinks he is a little cute.
What a strong man.
Feng Chong was cool, and Xue Pingkou's words were good. His hands were crossed on his waist, revealing a smug look.
Wu Min smiled slightly, not modest, but also not proud, just calmly accepted the praise. didn't take it to heart, and said, "General Xue." After this battle. The Slavs must have realized that the Yanmen Pass was not something they could capture. The battle at Yanmen Pass came to an end. ”
"But what happened next was complicated."
Speaking of this, Wu Min showed a solemn expression and said, "We have 20,000 soldiers, plus 100,000 horses. The amount of food and grass needed is huge. ”
"Although it can be dispatched from the Han Kingdom, the road is too long."
"It's better to collect grain on the spot."
"And the general is a native of Shanxi and has guarded Yanmen Pass for many years. Outstanding prestige. ”
"I hope the general can help us attack Shanxi and collect grain."
Xue Pingkou immediately patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, Qi Hou." These things are all wrapped up in me. ”
In Shanxi, the control of the Chu State is actually very strong.
On the Taiyuan side, there are still heavy soldiers.
But the roots of the Chu State are all rotten, and it is useless to have heavy troops in the air. This part of Shanxi is mountainous and has many mountain people.
The people are fierce.
The strong soldiers of the Han Dynasty, his prestige combined.
It is not difficult to lay down some county seats, contact mountain people, and raise grain and grass.
Before, he also planned to send people to contact the mountain people to support Yanmen Pass.
"Hmm." Wu Min bowed slightly, revealing joy.
And then there is nothing more to say.
Celebrate.
Except for the necessary number of soldiers to guard the juncture, the rest of the soldiers entered a state of rest.
The firehead army is full of firepower, burying the pot and cooking.
Xue Pingkou took out the best wine, slaughtered pigs, slaughtered sheep and cattle, and feasted Wu Min and Feng Chong.
Celebrate the great victory of the Han army.
"Hahaha."
For a time, there was laughter and laughter in Yanmen Pass.
Jolly. Jolly.
