Chapter 434: Enter the city, suppress
Pound was still stationed, and he always felt that something was wrong.
I can't say what's wrong.
Just when he was puzzled, a soldier walked in and said, "General, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared in the south, running towards our barracks. ”
"Cavalry?"
"How can there be cavalry in the south?"
"Could it be that the Qiang people fought it?"
Pound got up suddenly, walked outside, and felt that it would not be peaceful today, and now the unpeaceful thing has finally come.
Outside, a Liangzhou scout hurriedly rode his horse from the south, and when he ran near the barracks, he lifted the reins and stopped.
"General, it's not good!"
"Most of the cavalry who came were Xianbei cavalry, and a small number of them, who looked like cavalry from the Western Regions, rushed straight to our military camp to kill."
The scout said eagerly.
"Xianbei cavalry, how can it appear in the south? I...... I know! ”
Pang De trembled, and finally understood what the uneasiness was today, and why Han Sui held a Hongmen banquet today.
They still couldn't understand what Han Sui's Hongmen Banquet was and why they dared to do it.
When he saw the foreign cavalry, Pang De understood everything, it turned out that Han Sui invited foreign aid, and this foreign aid was still a foreigner, so he could be so bold.
As a Han Chinese, if you don't resist the foreign Hu people, forget it, and invite the foreign Hu people to come in and plan the land of the Han people, damn it!
Han Sui's mercenary method is different from that of the previous Han Dynasty, and it is more destructive and unfavorable to Liangzhou.
At this moment, Pound could think that Ma Teng in the city was definitely in danger.
Han Sui dared to do this, not only invited foreign aid, but was afraid that various arrangements would also be made in the city, such as among the soldiers defending the city, many people who used to be Han Sui were now accepted by Ma Teng.
If Han Sui rebelled against this part of the people, it was not impossible.
All kinds of conjectures appeared in Pang De's mind, and he felt a cold back, thinking that this time Liangzhou was going to be in danger.
The Ma family is more dangerous.
"General, what should I do?"
A lieutenant general beside him asked nervously.
Pound came back to his senses and shouted: "Send the cavalry out to block for a while, set up our rejection horses, do a good job of defense, and then block the cavalry, and the others will follow me into the city." ”
Of the 30,000 guards in the city, 20,000 were Han Sui's people.
Pang De can be sure that Ma Teng is going to have an accident, and he must go back to help Ma Dai live in the city, and then go to save Ma Teng and capture Han Sui.
Only by retreating into the city can we rely on the city to block those foreign Hu people.
They saw that only cavalry came from the foreign tribes, but they knew that there were definitely more than cavalry, and there must be a large number of infantry following behind.
The foreign aid that Han Sui invited would not be as simple as just inviting cavalry.
Without entering the city, Pound could not hold the military camp outside the city.
"Yes!"
The lieutenant general listened to the order and immediately led the cavalry to attack, facing the enemy's cavalry charge and killing.
The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, and a loud sound was heard.
Pound's cavalry, only five thousand people.
In the face of the enemy's 10,000 war horses, the number is still not enough, but it is barely enough to block it for a while, enough to cover Pound's entry into the city.
The cavalry of the two sides soon met and fought.
The Xiliang cavalry did not dare to fight with the foreign cavalry, the number was not large, and they could not kill the enemy at close range.
When the two sides approached to a distance of an arrow, the Liangzhou cavalry drew their bows one after another.
These cavalrymen used stirrups and saddles.
This is what Cao Cao allowed them to use.
With the assistance of saddles and other assistance, the Liangzhou cavalry can shoot on horseback, and the speed of pulling a bow and shooting arrows on horseback is much faster than that of the Xianbei people.
The arrows flew by, and the Hu cavalry that rushed in front fell in a row.
"Separate, retreat!"
One of the generals of the Liangzhou cavalry said loudly.
It is the pulling tactics that they need to use, and they are determined to avoid close sprints and collisions.
Seeing that the Liangzhou cavalry was on horseback, their reaction and speed were faster than their own, and their riding skills seemed to be even more powerful than their own, those Xianbei cavalry felt pressure.
But they were outnumbered and quickly regained their advantage.
First, the cavalry in the front row shot at the cavalry, suppressed the Liangzhou cavalry, did a good job of covering, and the cavalry behind rushed over at the fastest speed.
Since the Liangzhou cavalry didn't want to charge and kill in close quarters, and they didn't want to fight in close quarters, they created opportunities to fight in close quarters.
"You Liangzhou cavalry, you are so skilled in horsemanship?"
Seeing this, the bald Pigu looked at the horse with some surprise.
He also felt the pressure.
Looking ahead, Han Sui's people actually knew about stirrups and saddles, but it was impossible to reveal them to the Xianbei people.
Otherwise, Xianbei's riding skills will be stronger, and it will be their bad news.
"That's the elite cavalry under Ma Teng, it is said that they used the same training method as Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, the training is strict, the number is not large, and our war horses are not very many."
Horse play said briefly.
The sense of crisis of the bald Pi Gu is even stronger, their people grew up on horseback, and they thought that their riding skills were already very strong, but they were not as strong as the cavalry trained by the Great Han.
Hearing such a description of horse play, there are more such cavalry under Prime Minister Cao Cheng of the Han Dynasty.
The bald man was thinking that after he went back, they Xianbei people must strengthen their training, even if they sleep, they must sleep on horseback, and said in their mouths: "Destroy all these cavalry, kill!" ”
The order was passed down, and the Xianbei cavalry killed more fiercely and ran faster.
The war horses on the grassland are better than those in Liangzhou, both explosive and endurance, and the difference between advantages and disadvantages is becoming more and more obvious.
However, the Xiliang cavalry is assisted by a saddle, although the number is not large, it will not be pushed horizontally immediately, and it can be pulled for a period of time and continue to entangle.
"Not good!"
Harrick said, "Look, Pound is coming into the city. ”
As long as the gates are closed, the siege is difficult to fight because they have no experience in siege warfare.
Ma Yu said calmly: "Don't worry! Pang De's entry into the city was to no avail, and he couldn't save anything, and now in Guzang City, it was no longer Ma Teng who could control it. ”
After a pause, he said: "Three leaders, the south gate is closed, it is more troublesome to enter here, our general still has arrangements, in case the south gate cannot enter the city, enter through the east gate, what do you think?" ”
"Go to the East Gate!"
Ilyar said decisively, not wanting to attack the city.
They immediately changed direction and hurried towards the east gate.
At this time, Pound had already entered the city.
When I arrived in the city, the situation inside was similar to what I thought, and the city was already in chaos, and Han Sui would not do nothing.
"Quickly let someone contact Ma Dai!"
Pound shouted loudly, and said: "Come again, pick up the cavalry into the city, close the city gate again, and follow me to suppress the turmoil in the city, quickly!" ”
The people around him, walking around in a hurry.
The cavalry outside who was responsible for intercepting the enemy, and when they heard Mingjin's voice, they did not hesitate and retreated directly.
The cavalry of 5,000 people died more than 1,000 at this time.
The rest retreated towards the city gates, bypassing their barracks, while the foreign cavalry, fiercely pursuing, accidentally fell into a trap outside the barracks.
The enemy cavalry fell into the trap, and the Liangzhou cavalry found an opportunity to throw it off, quickly retreated, and closed the city gates.
There were also some foreign infantry, who continued to the south gate, and instead of attacking the city, they rushed into Pang Tong's camp and plundered the spoils.
Even the cavalry, at this time, did not care about the trap, dismounted and plundered, but let go of the retreating Pound.
Pound looked outside and breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step was to suppress the turmoil in the city and save the situation.
