Chapter 545: Riding with Steps, a Good Show Begins!
The night is like ink, shrouding the small city of Understanding County.
Suddenly, the flames burst into the sky, and the flames danced wildly in the night sky, as if a fiery dragon was about to break free and soar into the sky.
Xiang Pet was dressed in dark armor, and his eyes flashed with a calm light.
He stood on the hillside in the distance, his eyes piercing through the firelight, staring at the dynamics in the county seat of Jiexian.
According to the plan, his soldiers quickly and orderly threw the oil-soaked torches into the granary.
Around the granary, the previously silent night sky was torn apart by a raging fire, the light of the fire reflected half of the sky, billowing smoke rising with the jump of the flames, and the smell of burnt grain and wood filled the air.
The crackling of the flames and the screams of the people were intertwined, rendering the night of Xie County very lively.
An imperceptible smile flashed across Xiang Pet's face.
He looked up at the sky and saw that the firelight had stained the clouds orange-red, as if the whole sky was burning.
The movements of the Han soldiers were swift and decisive, and their figures loomed in the firelight.
Xiang Pet's face was gloomy.
Reinforcements?
Otherwise, he would definitely have to pull back these grains and grasses.
Xiang Chong immediately commanded the soldiers to retreat.
"Thousands of elite soldiers have been suspended in the city, and the rest are people, after a long time, I am afraid that there is a danger of the city being broken, don't wait, I will wait to support!"
The grain and grass in Xie County have been burned, and there is no point in staying.
However.
Not long after withdrawing from Xie County, Xiang Pet couldn't smile anymore.
"Please also ask the general to be cautious, the enemy army is mostly cavalry, we are a foot army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist, why don't you camp in the flawed city first, waiting for reinforcements!"
It's a pity that in order to prevent the Wei army from catching up, it is necessary to burn grain.
The entire Xie County seemed to have become a sea of fire, reflecting the frightened faces of the people in the city.
The scout had no choice but to say truthfully: "General, the Wei army dispatched cavalry, as fast as the wind, and arrived at Puban City in less than half a day, and there was no defense in all aspects, so the Wei army succeeded, fortunately, Puban City was not lost, and when the reinforcements arrived, the siege will be lifted!" ”
And
Even if the Wei army came to attack Puban City, he should still be able to receive the news, why did we receive the news until the Wei army was almost finished?
Without these grains and grasses, your Wei State would no longer have the strength to attack my Puban City.
As the fire spread, the grain in the granary was gradually swallowed up by the sea of fire, and the tongue of fire licked every inch of space wantonly. Occasionally, sparks flew out and landed on the roofs of nearby houses, causing new fires.
But even if you can't pull it back, you can't give it to Wei Jun.
Hehe.
"What do you say? The Pubanjin camp was broken by the Wei army, and the city of Puban was surrounded by the Wei army? Where did the Wei army come from? ”
"Withdraw!"
According to the news of the military division, the Wei army put the main force on the south bank of the Yellow River, attacking Fengling City day and night, where did the troops come from to attack Puban City?
Burn down the Wei army granary.
Listening to the news of the scout, Xiang Pet was anxious.
Their strength is only a few thousand, how can they be opponents in the face of the same number of cavalry, or even far more than their number of troops?
If you can hold out under the cavalry attack, the loss will be smaller.
If you can't hold on and break up, it will be a one-sided slaughter.
"The Blemished City is a small city, if the Pusaka City is broken, how can we survive?"
Support must be supported, and it is a dead end in the flawed city.
But in the past, it was no different from sending him to death.
"In the martial arts hall, I once talked about how the infantry army dealt with the cavalry, I will rest in the city for a day, build equipment to deal with the cavalry, and then go to the aid of Puban City."
It is not impossible for infantry to deal with cavalry.
But you need to be prepared in advance.
Fortunately, there were enough craftsmen in the army, and Xiang Pet immediately ordered the craftsmen to build a thousand spears.
This spear is eight feet long, and it is specially used to form a spear formation to curb the cavalry momentum.
In addition to the Zhangba spear, it is also necessary to create a horse rejection, antlers, and a horse chopping knife.
If there are heavy armored cavalry in the Wei cavalry, copper hammers and iron axes are also needed.
It's a pity that there is not enough pig iron in the city, so it can't be used.
In addition, build a chariot for the favored person, insert antlers, tribulus guns and other horse-repellent weapons on the chariot, and use the chariot as a barrier to "reject from all sides".
In order to prevent the impact from the cavalry, the infantry cooperated with the chariot and used the chariot to bend and arrange, with antlers and staggered to form a hook, so as to reduce the impact of the cavalry and limit the cavalry's rushing activities.
After destroying the formation of the cavalry as the rooks and antlers blocked the cavalry, the infantry rushed out of the carts to fight.
This is the tactics of the infantry army against the cavalry taught by the Wutang Sect.
According to His Majesty's words, that is: the plains and wilderness are combined into a chariot, like a mountain, surrounded by a camp wall, and the enemy cannot ride with the edge of the infant. Blocking mountains and rivers is a tool for analysis.
With these tools, on the plain, the infantry army had the capital to compete with the cavalry.
However.
Plans can't keep up with the changes.
Originally, it was planned to build these appliances in one day.
However, due to the lack of manpower and materials, it was only after three days that the equipment needed to deal with the cavalry was prepared.
It's a pity that they were going to the cavalry, and not the cavalry came to them.
When an infantry army defeats a cavalry army, what can be relied on the most is actually the terrain.
In front of the city, the spears were like a forest, and the chariots followed the army, and this army, armed to the teeth, marched slowly in the direction of Pusaka City.
On the other side, in Fengling City, Wei Yan, who was still wondering if the Wei army would not attack the city, knew about the Wei army's surprise attack on Puban City, and his face suddenly became serious.
"The Pubanjin camp was captured by the Wei army, and Pubancheng is in danger!"
When Wei Yan saw Jiangbei's battle report, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Boy!
You Sima Yi looked at the wolf, and your stomach was really full of bad water.
On the surface, I fought to the death in Fengling City, but it turned out to be brewing a big wave!
"General, do you want to go to support? According to the news of the military division, the Han army in Puban City is insufficient, and Xiang Zhong led the main army to go to Xie County to loot grain and grass. ”
Vice General Wei Yan immediately said on the side.
"How is the Wei army moving?"
The adjutant general showed embarrassment on his face, so he had to say truthfully: "The cavalry of the Wei army is exhausted, Sima Yi forbids the sergeants to travel at will, our news is cut off, and it is not clear the movement of the Wei army. ”
There is an observation post on Longshou Mountain, which transmits news through carrier pigeons, and when the Wei cavalry is crisscrossing and cutting off the news, this is actually one of the few news that can let the Han army know the movements of the Wei army.
"If you don't support, I'm afraid that Kasaka Castle will be under the thieves, and if you support, the enemy's cavalry will benefit, and our army may be in danger of destruction." Wei Yan was also a little hesitant to be happy.
There are fewer people brought out of Fengling City, and the support is ineffective.
If there are too many people to bring out, Feng Ling City will be in danger.
"It is enough to leave 3,000 people in the city, and the general can lead the army to support Puban City by boat, so that he will not be afraid of the Wei cavalry."
In the past six months, the Han army has also collected a lot of boats and boats, and put them on Fenglingdu, but at this moment, it is just in handy.
"I wonder if General Zilong will send troops to support?"
Ay~
I can't care about it anymore.
Now that the news is not clear, Wei Yan has no choice but to make the decision he thinks is right.
Dispatch troops!
Support Kasaka Castle! (End of chapter)
