The white horse coppers can only watch the Mayi cavalry rely on the crossbows of Wubao for protection, but are powerless. They can't even dig trenches now, because the soldiers digging will be attacked by the Mayi cavalry as long as they enter.
At this time, Baima Tong's men came to report that they had suffered more than 5,000 casualties in the battle just now, which meant that his 40,000-strong army had fought for less than two days, and only a little over 30,000 were left.
When Baima Tong heard the report of the battle damage, he said coldly: "This Thunder Lord is really powerful. If we continue to besiege Wubao in Luo County like this, I'm afraid we will be defeated without waiting for Thunder Lord's reinforcements. What else can everyone do now?"
The method is not to mention breaking into Wubao in Luo County, but those who defected must be killed!"
When the Huns tribal leaders heard this, they looked at each other. These cavalry were well-equipped. Even if they fought hard, their losses would be very heavy, not to mention that they were still under the protection of the crossbows of Wubao in Luo County. As long as they did not come out.
With the range of crossbows, they really couldn't find any good way to deal with these cavalry!
Who would have known that Lei Gong had so many crossbow arrows, and he could shoot tens of thousands of them in just half a stick of incense. Although the Huns also used mounted archery, the power of mounted archery was only the same. As long as the armor was a little better, they could produce a fight
Arrows can’t even kill anyone! They’re so expensive that they’re scary and not cost-effective.
Their main killing weapon was the saber. For these Huns, they had never seen such a terrible rain of arrows. It was also the first time that they discovered that the power of crossbows could be so powerful. Tens of thousands of them were actually repelled by 2,000 crossbowmen.
.
Judging from the power of this crossbow, even if tens of thousands of them were shot to death, it would be impossible to break through the Luo County Wubao, and the tunnel digging could no longer be used. For a while, they really had nothing to do against the Luo County Wubao.
At this time, a small leader named Liu Min said: "Commander, there is nothing we can do. The reason why these defectors attacked us yesterday was because they burned down their houses."
"These defectors have been completely assimilated by the Han people. As Huns, they are no longer nomadic and have actually settled in one place."
When Liu Min said this, he gritted his teeth. He was not angry that his people were being treated by the Han people, but he knew that their life was so good that even goods that he considered to be very good could be discarded.
Doesn't this mean that the lives of these tribesmen are better than his own? This is what makes him most angry. He is so jealous that he is going crazy. He does not have such a good life, so destroy them all!
"The Han people spent a lot of money to bribe them. Even if they escaped, they still had valuable belongings in their homes! No wonder we just set some houses on fire and their families went crazy. And we can take advantage of this and choose one that suits us first.
If we set fire to these defecting villages on the battlefield, they will definitely rush over in a frenzy. At that time, we will surround these defectors from three sides and completely annihilate them!"
When Baima Tong heard this plan, he shouted: "Okay, Liu Min, your wisdom is not inferior to that of the Han counselors. This task will be left to you. Find a suitable place for us to ambush. I will wipe out all these people."
The gang defected!"
Liu Min was excited when she saw that Baima Tong was using her in such a high way: "My subordinates will definitely not disappoint the commander in chief!"
The next day, the morning sun rose, and the red clouds appeared in the sky following the red sun! The weather was clear, the cicadas were chirping, it was a killing day!
He Feng and the others were surprised to find that Baima Tong and the others actually ran away, leaving only an empty camp. "Baima Tong is so incompetent that he escaped without even ten thousand people being killed!"
Lu Liang smiled and said: "Ten thousand people have died. How much can Baima Tong's men lose? It is not normal to escape!"
He Feng sent detective horses to look around, especially on the edge of the Yellow River, but found no trace of Baima Tong. He knew that Baima Tong must have a conspiracy, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, and he didn't even know that Baima Tong's people were hiding.
Where have you gone?
When He Feng was looking for Baima Tong and the others, Baima Tong and his 10,000 tribesmen hid behind a small hill near Qingshuiyuan, and the other 20,000 tribesmen were also ambushing in the other two directions!
Qingshui was originally an impact plain on the edge of the Yellow River. It relied on the water of the Yellow River and the Qingshui River to flow through it. Therefore, the water and grass were luxuriant at this time. It was one of the few rich pastures for the Huns in the south. Therefore, the Tengjia Army established a herdsman of several thousand people here.
Small town, this is the largest town near Luo County. This is the battlefield Liu Min chose.
Originally, this place belonged to the Qingshui Tribe of the Huns. The Qingshui Tribe was one of the top five tribes among the Southern Huns, with more than 20,000 tribesmen. However, due to Xu Wei's policy of dividing cattle and sheep, the entire tribe was annexed by the Tengjia Army.
The nearly 100,000 Huns on the north bank of the Yellow River were all annexed by the Tengjia Army.
This tribe, which accounted for almost one-fifth of the entire Southern Huns, was annexed by the Tengjia Army without any resistance. It is no wonder that the entire Southern Huns were afraid of Lei Gong, for fear that Lei Gong would use the same method to destroy them.
The entire southern Huns were annexed,
The entire Southern Huns' top brass was thinking of ways to save themselves. Qiangqu's idea was to rely on the strength of the Han Dynasty to frighten the Tengjia Army, while Baima Tong chose the time to unite the Xianbei and Han Dynasties to deal with Lei Gong!
Baima Tong looked at the grassland that originally belonged to the Qingshui tribe and said: "Ancestors of the Huns, bless me to win this battle!"
Behind him, pairs of neat cavalry were forming a formation on the plain. Each man mobilized his own troops! The other two cavalry nearby were also constantly adjusting, planning to use their best condition to attack the enemy!
But after everything was ready, Baima Tong ordered: "Let Liu Min start taking action!"
At this time, the quiet Qingshui Town was already covered with straw and dry firewood, and Liu Min led his men to hold the torch.
Liu Min looked at the small town jealously and said: "This Thunder God can really win people's hearts. A small town is actually built so well. Even in the Han Dynasty, only the powerful Wubao of the Han people can compare!"
Qingshui Town is a model town created by Xu Wei. It has a lot of infrastructure, such as artesian canals for water diversion, schools, hospitals, and bathhouses. Each household has a small livestock shed, and the houses they live in are made of wood.
The modular two-story villa also has a silage feed tower to help these herdsmen provide fodder! Such a beautiful town is rarely seen even in Mayi, let alone Dahan. But it costs a lot to build such a town.
But not big, modularization can save a lot of costs.
For Xu Wei, using such a beautiful town to change the nomadic habits of the Hu people and allowing them to become his own raw material suppliers and commodity markets is a very cost-effective thing.
Of course, none of this can be understood by a Huns like Liu Min. He only saw that such a good town was used by Xu Wei to house his companions, but he did not share it. Liu Min and the others were all jealous.
Why do they have to live in simple tents?
At this time, a cavalryman came over and said: "The commander orders you to start taking action!"
Liu Min sneered and said: "Okay! Burn everything and see what Lei Gong can do to win people's hearts!"
Liu Min and his men threw the torches into the hay, and soon the whole town was ablaze!
Especially when these flames burned onto the silage feed tower, the flames caused were more than 10 feet high! The billowing smoke quickly attracted Lu Liang's attention.
"No, this is smoke coming from the direction of Qingshui Town. Baima Tong and the others want to cross us and attack Wucheng County!" He Feng felt that something was wrong when he saw the fireworks!
"Baima Tong, we are at odds with you!" Liu Bao, the leader of the herdsmen, roared angrily.
At this time, the cavalry under Luochengwu Fort were already in commotion. They knew the place where the smoke was burning better than He Feng. After learning that Baima Tong burned Qingshui Town, all 8,000 cavalry were dispatched. They wanted to destroy Baima Tong!
Lu Liang saw these herdsmen attacking without permission and shouted: "Don't go there, beware of falling into Baima Tong's trick!"
But no one paid any attention to him! 8,000 people just rushed towards Qingshui Town!
Lu Liang immediately said: "You stay here, I will bring them back!"
After that, he rode out on his war horse!
He Feng wanted to bring people to help, but he also knew that he had a heavy responsibility. If Luochengwu Fort was lost, Baima Tong's subordinates would really be able to burn, kill and loot without restraint on Mayi's territory!
He could only watch anxiously as Lu Liang got further and further away!
Lu Liang quickly rushed to the front on his war horse and pulled Liu Bao: "We can't pass, this must be Baima Tong's trick!"
Liu Bao raised his sword and said: "No matter what tricks Baima Tong has, I will chop them into pieces with my sword!"
Lu Liang persuaded him earnestly: "If Qingshui Town is burned, it will be burned. As long as you stay here, I will apply to Qu Shuai for you to build another town like this. You will lose nothing!"
Liu Bao said angrily: "This is not a problem with the house, but because Baima Tong has gone too far to bully others. We are all from the same clan, how could they do such an excessive thing!"
Yes, in the hearts of people like Liu Bao, Qingshui Town is not as simple as a small town to them, but also the hope of these people in the future. And now this hope has been destroyed by Baima Tong and the others. The anger of these herdsmen can be
You know it!
When Lu Liang saw these herdsmen who refused to listen, he could only follow them!
"Commander, those defectors are coming!" At the same time, Baima Tong, who was really recuperating, soon heard his men coming to report!
Baima Tong said excitedly: "Everyone mount up and get ready to fight!"
Following his order, the messengers galloped out one after another, running to the left and right rear of the team, passing the order to Baima Tong's other subordinates!
When the three troops of White Horse Copper all saw the ‘rebels they called’ entering the ambush circle!
Hearing that the enemy was about to enter their encirclement, the soldiers around them all became excited.
"Woo, woo, woo!" The heavy horn horn resounded in the wilderness, and three armies suddenly appeared around Liu Bao and the others! Then they began to move slowly towards Liu Bao and the others. The speed of the troops gradually increased, and the sound of horse hooves became sparse and gradually became louder.
As the crowd gathered, the voices calling for death were getting closer and closer.
Lu Liangliang was shocked and said: "No, Baima Tong and the others really have an ambush!"
Lu Liang immediately said to Liu Bao: "Let's break out of the encirclement as soon as possible before the encirclement is closed!"
But Liu Bao was already blinded by anger! He looked around for a while and found the figure of Baima Tong. He pointed his sword at him and said angrily: "Baima Tong, I want you to die!"
Then he drove his war horse and charged towards the white horse Tong. The soldiers behind him also followed Liu Bao's direction! Fortunately, he had rich combat experience and slowly slowed down the speed to restore some physical strength to the war horse!
Baima Tong looked at all this and sneered: "Keep the formation rigorous and don't let these defectors break out of the phalanx! Tighten the encirclement!"
Baima Tong quickly conveyed the instructions one by one. The messengers rushed on the battlefield to convey his orders!
"The archers are in the center, ready to shoot."
"After shooting, prepare to block."
"Order the left and right wings to continue to tighten the encirclement, and don't let anyone defect and escape!"
Under the command of Baima Tong, 30,000 people made tense and orderly adjustments, and the encirclement of Liu Bao and the others became increasingly tight!
When the distance between the two sides was fifty steps, the bows and arrows from both sides were fired.
"Whoosh!" The fast-moving war horses fell down numerous times after being hit by long arrows, causing waves of neighing!
Liu Bao shouted: "Raise your sword and use the sharp arrow formation! Crush Baima Tong and the others!"
The cavalry behind Liu Bao began to form a military formation like a long arrow! The galloping speed of the horses on both sides suddenly accelerated. The sound of dense horse hooves immediately turned into a roar, and then it was like thunder, shaking the entire battlefield.
The two armies are getting closer and closer!
"Ten steps!"
"Five steps!"
"Boom!" The two armies collided together like two behemoths!
Liu Bao, who was charging at the front, slashed left and right with his saber. He was so powerful that he killed five Baima Bronze soldiers in an instant! The soldiers following Liu Bao also rushed into Baima Bronze's formation like tigers descending from the mountain!
Liu Bao raised his bloody sword and shouted: "Surround them and kill them all!"
Baima Tong did not expect that even his most elite soldiers would be unable to stop Liu Bao and the others' assault, and even Liu Bao and the others were about to kill them through their formation.
He immediately shouted: "Resist them, everyone, follow me and kill them!"
After saying that, Baima Tong rushed towards Liu Bao, who was attacking at the front line!
When Liu Bao saw White Horse Tong, he excitedly said: "White Horse Tong, accept your fate!"
The Hundred Refined War Sword looked at White Horse Tongchong!
Baima Tong's martial arts is also among the top five warriors among the Huns, so he is naturally not afraid of fighting with Liu Bao's sword. He waved his sword left and right, not only resisting Liu Bao's attacks, but also constantly counterattacking Liu Bao, and soon Liu Bao was under Liu Bao's attack.
There were several wounds left on his body!
Baima Tong laughed loudly: "Just because you want to kill me, in the next life!"
After saying that, he tried his best to kill Liu Bao with one blow, and Liu Bao also used all his strength to fight Baima Tong with one blow!
"Dang!" Baima Tong's sword broke instantly, and he was even stabbed by Liu Bao. Fortunately, it was not a critical injury. Baima Tong was so frightened that he immediately withdrew from the front line of the fight!
Liu Bao naturally refused to let him go. He shouted: "Baima Tong, don't run!"
But the soldiers around him quickly surrounded him. He wanted to pursue him, but he could no longer see the figure of Baima Tong!
At this time, Lu Liang kept shouting to the soldiers around him: "Don't scatter, everyone gather together, we will use the military formation to kill the enemy!"
The soldiers around Lu Liang began to gather continuously. Under Lu Liang's command, they continued to divide and surround the enemy, and then annihilated them piece by piece.
The fierce hand-to-hand combat was very fierce. Liu Bao and the others were sure to win. Lu Liang also took the lead and fought at the forefront. The soldiers were inspired and all fought bravely to fight the enemy. In addition, their equipment was superior, and the casualties were barely controlled.
Within the range of one to one.
But after all, Baima Tong and the others have three times the advantage of the army, and they have also surrounded Liu Bao and the others. If they continue to fight like this, the loser will definitely be Liu Bao and the others who do not have the numerical advantage!
Baima Tong's 30,000 soldiers were also furious and refused to relax the siege of Liu Bao and the others. The bloody killing greatly stimulated the fierce nature of the soldiers. They constantly used their numerical advantage to attack Liu Bao and his army.
The battle formation divided them into several pieces. The longer the battle went on, the heavier the fatigue caused by Liu Bao and the others' long-distance attack!
Lu Liang found that the battle situation was getting more and more dangerous for them, and Baima Tong and his men were being surrounded more and more tightly. If they didn't find a way to break out now, they would really be annihilated by Baima Tong, so he led people to look for Liu Bao.
Liu Bao used his saber to chop people. When the saber broke, he picked up his spear and continued to kill the enemy. The soldiers around him kept protecting Liu Bao from other directions. The fierce fight was fierce and the corpses of the enemy soldiers he killed were piled under his feet. But the enemy
He was unable to kill, and after his anger disappeared, all he had now was endless fatigue!
Lu Liang came to Liu Bao and pulled him and shouted: "We can't continue killing like this. Look at the situation around us. Our army is about to be wiped out. Do you really want your family and fellow clansmen to die here?"
!”
Liu Bao only woke up from the killing at this time. He observed the situation around him and found that they were divided into six or seven small teams. The situation was already very critical!
He shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Gather, reorganize your formation, and I will take you out!"
The soldiers around Lu Liang and the soldiers around Liu Bao began to gather,
Then, under the leadership of Lu Liang and Liu Bao, this team continued to defeat Baima Tong's military formations and rescued the besieged soldiers. Liu Bao and the others had more and more soldiers around them, and soon all the seven military formations had 5,000 or 6,000 people.
Gathered around Liu Bao and the others, it was only easy to break through the internal siege, but under the command of Baima Tong, the external siege became increasingly tight!
When Baima Tong saw Liu Bao and the others who were still fighting in a corner, they laughed and said, "Liu Bao, you can't escape!"
Lu Liang observed the situation of the encirclement, and then said to Liu Bao: "The encirclement in the north is looser, let's find a way to break through from the north!"
"I have a tactic that our commander taught us. Although we have never used it, it is suitable for our current situation. I can only treat it like a dead horse! Later we will be divided into two teams, each with 500 people.
, gather all the spears in our hands and arrange them like a city wall. I will charge first to attack the enemy in the north. After I finish charging, you will lead the charge. The two of us will keep going back and forth like wheels to attack the weakest part of the encirclement in the north!
"
Yes, this is when Xu Wei explained the heavy cavalry tactics to them. He talked about the wall-mounting strategy. In fact, Xu Wei himself didn't know whether this strategy was feasible, but there were a lot of discussions on the Internet about the modern cavalry tactics.
The skill of charging while riding on the wall is amazing, as if it is a magical skill of the cavalry. As soon as it appears, the enemy will be defeated.
Fortunately, Xu Wei knew the words "talking on paper" and just told everyone such a tactic so that everyone could try it out.
And now in this situation, Lu Liang can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
The other soldiers still resisted Baima Tong's attack, but Lu Liang and Liu Bao had already begun to assemble their troops.
But after Lu Liang's troops were ready, Lu Liang raised his saber high and shouted: "Can everyone survive in one fell swoop? Charge!"
"Kill!" 500 cavalry lined up like a city wall and charged toward the white-horse bronze warriors from the north!
"Boom!" The encirclement immediately broke out into a depression.
Each of Baima Tong's warriors had to face at least three spears, and hundreds of warriors fell to the ground instantly!
After Lu Liang finished attacking this wave, he immediately turned his horse's head and said: "Retreat quickly, go to the rear and regroup!"
After seeing Lu Liang retreat, Liu Bao also shouted: "Charge, kill!"
"Kill!" 500 soldiers also shouted!
"Boom!" Baima Tong fell down hundreds of warriors again!
Liu Bao shouted: "Turn around, everyone retreat quickly!"
At this time, Lu Liang was ready in the rear. After seeing Liu Bao retreat, he shouted again: "Charge!"
"Boom!" After three consecutive rounds, Baima Copper's encirclement in the north was completely broken!
Wall charge is a tactic based on the local large number of people fighting against the small number of people, and the wall charge is very powerful. White Horse Copper's skirmishers can't stop it at all and are quickly dispersed!
After the gap appeared, Lu Liang shouted: "Everyone, escape from here! I'll cut off your rear!"
Thousands of soldiers drove to a gap and escaped towards it!
When Baima Tong, who was behind, saw this situation, he was so angry that he even threw the knife out and said: "The success fell short!"
Fortunately, he recovered very quickly, and he commanded: "Hurry up and block this gap, and try to kill these traitors as much as possible!"
After knowing that all the defectors could not be wiped out, Baima Tong planned to kill and injure these defectors as much as possible!
As more and more people break out of the encirclement, the pressure on Lu Liang and the others at the rear is also increasing!
At this time, Liu Bao said: "Jiang Jun, you take the people away and I will cut off the rear. If I hadn't been reckless, so many people wouldn't have died. Just let me die here!"
Lu Liang said angrily: "Our Tengjia Army does not have the tradition of letting the militiamen stay to break up the rear. You run away quickly. I will attack them for a while to buy you time!"
But Liu Bao said stubbornly: "If the supervisors don't leave, I won't leave either. I don't have the shame to run away. Half of the people here are dead, so I will stay here to accompany them!"
The situation on the battlefield was extremely dangerous, and Lu Liang had no time to persuade Liu Bao. He could only say: "Well, let's help the escaped tribesmen buy time, and then charge by riding on the wall, so that they have no time to chase the others!
Liu Bao laughed and said: "I like this kind of charge the most! It's just that I knew it too late. If I had just known it, I would have killed Baima Tong!"
Then he looked at the battlefield and found that Baima Tong was still proudly commanding the army to surround them and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't kill him!"
