It is not difficult to judge with the wisdom of Wanyan Aguda that it will be difficult to capture Yanmen Pass at this time. But now the Huns have no choice. A winter snowstorm has already caused heavy losses to the cattle and sheep that the Huns depend on for survival. If not
If Yanmen Pass is captured and the Han people plunder the city, the Huns will starve to death sooner or later. Rather than letting the warriors starve to death in humiliation, it is better to die bravely on the battlefield in order to live up to the name of warriors.
But Wanyan Aguda was indeed Wanyan Aguda. Even in this situation, he still came up with a way for the Huns to save themselves. Therefore, he secretly offered several strategies to Yu Fuluo. In the current situation, although Yu Fuluo
He was a little duller, but still not at the stage where the life and death of his ethnic group was a trivial matter. Naturally, he would not get angry with Wanyan Agu, but reluctantly accepted Wanyan Agu's suggestion.
Soon, Yuvluo issued several orders to all the Xiongnu tribes. First, he summoned a group of strong herdsmen again, and secondly, he summoned old and frail warriors and herdsmen from each tribe.
The purpose of recruiting strong men is naturally to replenish the army, but the purpose of recruiting already old warriors is to recruit artillery for destruction. On the one hand, it can drain the effective strength of the Yanmen Han army, and on the other hand, it is to actively reduce the population and save more for the tribe's strong men, women and children.
Survive with more food. Keeping women and children is naturally for the future reproduction and development of the tribe, and being strong is to ensure the number of warriors.
After all, the grassland is a place where the weak prey on the strong. No warrior is destined to be devoured by countless vicious wolves that smell the fishy smell of the grassland. Even if they are also Huns, other tribes do not mind pounce on a weak tribe and take a bite.
Ten days, exactly ten days, Yanmen Pass suddenly calmed down during these ten days. Although the Huns did not withdraw, they did not take the initiative to attack. Compared with the desperate attacks of the Huns a few days ago, it was a world of difference. The Huns became calm.
, Li Xiang was naturally happy. Although he and Wang Meng had guessed the Huns' intentions, they were not worried at all. For Li Xiang, as long as Yanmen is not lost, the Huns have more troops.
Well, this way his next plan will go more smoothly.
It is worth mentioning that Xing Tian and Xiong Kuohai have now been promoted to captains, and Liu Yang and Lin Chong have also been promoted to the position of tooth general, that is, Sima of another department, due to their merit in the battle. By the way, Li Xiang has also been promoted.
He became a partial general. After all, this battle relied entirely on Li Xiang's men for timely rescue.
Of course, during this period, Li Xiang would inevitably have to go to Liu Yang and Lin Chong more often. Whether it was sincere or just for show, this was indeed a good way to win people's hearts. Li Xiang even personally brought medicine to the two of them, and then
Someone also gave them a big gift. Liu Yang's was the big ax that Jin Wushu left behind when he escaped. Liu Yang was so happy that he almost fell asleep with the ax in his arms. Although there was nothing suitable to give to Lin Chong,
It was really unreasonable to send Liu Yang but not Lin Chong, so Li Xiang reluctantly spent 100 summoning points to choose a war horse for Lin Chong, Sao Feng on the Snow Colt. In this way, including the family heirloom snake spear carried by Lin Chong,
He was considered to have his troops ready. Then, looking at the moved expressions on Liu Yang and Lin Chong's faces, although they did not kowtow to worship, they would definitely obey Li Xiang's orders from then on.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting Lin Chong's 9 summoning points. There are currently 58 summoning points left, two random summoning cards, one historical beauty summoning card, and one magic weapon card."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xiang finally figured out the rules for purchasing magic weapons and BMWs in the system store. There are a dazzling array of magic weapons and horses in the system store, all of which can add 1 point of force value, and the purchase price is also 100 summons.
points. After that, there is also the magic weapon BMW that can be purchased with 120 summoning points. Although it also adds 1 point of force, the magic weapon is stronger and sharper, while the war horse has better endurance, faster speed and stronger explosive power.
More than ten days passed, and the Xiongnu finally gathered enough troops again. Although the strong ones only gathered more than 30,000, the old and weak gathered a full 100,000. In other words, at this time, a full 20 troops were gathered at Yanmen Pass.
Fifty thousand Xiongnu troops.
You must know that the Xiongnu are not in their heyday during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Under the attack of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, as well as several campaigns after the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu has long been in decline. Now there are only 150 Xiongnu left in the entire southern region.
The population of the Northern Huns was even worse, with only a little over one million people left. But now, one-sixth of the population of the Southern Huns was gathered under Yanmen Pass.
Although there were many enemy troops under the city, Li Xiang was not worried and even smiled secretly. Then he calmly said "keep dragging" and took Wang Meng and his newly appointed guard captain Qin Qiong to rest.
Already.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining 9 summoning points from Qin Qiong, and the remaining summoning points are 67."
Of course, Xing Tianxiong Kuohai and the others naturally stayed. After all, they wanted to prevent the opponent's strong generals from forming a group again to open a gap.
…
"My sons, you are all descendants of the steppe wolf god. Pick up your scimitar, break through the unsightly city wall, and tear your enemies into pieces. As long as you attack it, as long as you attack it, you can get countless grains.
, women, honor, everything you need." Wanyan Aguda roared loudly.
As soon as they finished speaking, countless elite prairie warriors rode their war horses and rushed towards Yanmen Pass. Of course, they were not seeking death, but wanted to hit the city wall with their flesh and blood bodies.
Riding and shooting can be easily accomplished by any herdsmen with a little experience on the grassland, but in the Central Plains, even cavalry trained for several years are rarely mastered. Wanyan Aguda gave full play to the advantages of the grassland, and the two teams of cavalry alternated in cycles, constantly
Shooting arrows at the top of the city caused huge trouble to Meng Tian, who was once again in charge of the defense of Yanmen City.
Because of the high-speed movement of the cavalry, even if the Yanmen Army counterattacked with bows and arrows, the results would be few and the damage would be limited.
Afterwards, the already elderly warriors of the Xiongnu charged forward in batches desperately. Even though the siege equipment in their hands was only some extremely simple ladders, and although there were arrows raining in front of them from time to time, and boulders falling, they still could not stop them.
Keep their determination to charge to the death.
After all, every race will have a group of people who are willing to sacrifice for the continuation of the race. Every race will have some people who are willing to sacrifice themselves like antelopes for the survival of the race.
There is no doubt that Wanyan Aguda's plan was successful. These desperate charging warriors did cause a lot of casualties to the Yanmen Army, and they did consume some of the Xiongnu's "useless" population.
In the evening, the battle that lasted for a day finally came to an end, but the battlefield at this time was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. On this day, the Xiongnu successfully replaced Yanmen's three thousand elite troops with 20,000 old and weak casualties.
