In the vast and cold countryside, dust rises in the daytime, and elegant soldiers and cavalry are surrounded by small groups.
The bows were drawn up and down, and people were shouting, and the grasses and wild beasts were everywhere.
Painting horses now has no reason to wait for the imperial edict, but shooting eagles is still afraid of General Li.
The mountains and rivers naturally come from the bird's land, and the plain grass meets the dusk clouds at a glance.
——"Guanbei People Hunting" Su Song.
In the vast wilderness, more than 4,000 elite cavalry chased the 20,000-disintegrated Zhongshan Army. In essence, it was nothing more than a hunt.
"Hahaha, Luo Longguang, you are at the end of your rope, why don't you dismount and capture me, I will spare your life!"
Among the hunters, there were those who killed rabbits and those who chased tigers. Zhu Biao now caught a big tiger from the 20,000-strong Zhongshan Army and several wild wolves nearby.
The front is running and the back is chasing. After a huge victory, Zhu Biao is not willing to force Luo Longguang and his gang into a desperate fight. The right way is to scrape the meat with a knife and eat it bit by bit.
Slow down some horse speed, not too slow but a little faster, and hang behind Luo Longguang's group of people. Luo Longguang was forced to divide his troops to stop them. Then Zhu Biao opened his mouth and swallowed it unceremoniously.
More than 50,000 troops marching north are over!
Most of Luo Longguang's current soldiers are his confidants, even the children of the Luo family. They must save Luo Longguang's life at this time no matter what.
After escaping and cleaning up the embers, the Luo family will not be finished. Although Luo Longguang will definitely take on a big role after returning, but with his relationship with the King of Zhongshan, death will never happen. This is the capital of the Luo family's comeback. !
So they fought tooth and nail to keep Luo Longguang from escaping, no matter what, they had to fight for their lives and leave a chance for the future. Sadly, many of these Luo family members still wanted to squeeze in gold before the war with the thought of earning military merit. Those who joined Luo Longguang's army. Now, they must use their lives to support Luo Longguang!
From one to two hundred cavalry, it was slowly reduced to only one hundred and ten cavalry. Everyone's heart was full of panic. The elite cavalry led by the Han army commander behind them left the battlefield and chased them straight, biting them with all their might. Follow the traces of Luo Longguang. Looking back, you can see hundreds of elite light cavalry, all of them are agile and brave people. Each one is equipped with two horses. The distance between them is getting closer and closer!
The war between the Beiyu and Hu Di tribes has been going on so far. Although the Zhongshan Kingdom has not suffered much manpower losses, the truckloads of military supplies transported north have still placed a very heavy burden on the Zhongshan Kingdom in the past ten years. The war horses produced in the country were exported to the Northern Han Dynasty to the maximum extent. In recent years, the scale of the cavalry in the Zhongshan Kingdom has only been maintained. This is also one of the reasons.
Naturally, Luo Longguang's identity was different. As a Taiwei of the Zhongshan Kingdom, he naturally had one man and two horses in his own army. However, when the whole camp was in chaos and panic, when Luo Longguang arrived at Ma with several trusted generals and a group of confidants. When they were in the circle, there were only one or two hundred war horses left. This was because a group of pro-army soldiers were fighting to defend it. Those people brought by Luo Longguang couldn't even do one person and one horse, so how could one person and two horses do it?
A forest appeared in front, and beside it, the Dongjiang River was still flowing quietly.
"Lieutenant, this is not the way to go. Horses cannot outrun these Han people. I will wait and resist for a while! Under Xiao's escort, Commander Deng will protect your horse into the forest. If it doesn't work, just go to the other side of the river. You will definitely Get out alive!"
Luo Longguang turned around and saw that it was his deputy general, a very promising nephew who had not yet entered the fifth uniform. Several close descendants of the Luo family around him and several of his trusted generals all looked at him with determination. Hold yourself.
Seeing Luo Longguang's gaze, these people turned their horses around with stern expressions. All the guards following them took out their riding bows from the bow pots. While nodding arrows, they urged their horses to greet them with shouts.
behind.
Not too far behind him, a large group of Han people rolled up the muddy water and rushed towards them like flying. The Han general who looked very young was the Han cavalry general Zhu Biao, who was at the forefront.
In front, leaving aside the large group behind, there are dozens of steps, but even though it is only one person and one horse, it has an momentum that cannot be stopped by thousands of troops!
Those teams that were separated earlier would most likely be lost in his hands!
The disciples of the big family are different. They are much richer than ordinary generals. After Zhu Biao killed a group, he was reluctant to let the soldiers behind him help. Anyway, there was no delay, and there was no danger anyway, so he took his time.
The horse suddenly advanced.
Luo Longguang was also a veteran from the military. He recognized the good and bad, and couldn't help but express a lot of emotions to Zhu Biao, "He is really a good general!" He had heard of Zhu Biao more than once before, about his illustrious achievements won by fighting with Hu Qi. But
Wen Wu was the first and Wu Wu was the second. He was always dissatisfied in his heart. And because Zhu Biao was too young and he himself was a veteran, he felt even more dissatisfied.
But now, an army of more than 50,000 people has been easily overturned. Looking back, there are really only two knights left.
He had run an unknown distance from the camp battlefield to here, and there was another riverside forest in front of him. When he originally arranged the camp, he chose the high ground by the Dongjiang River because there was a forest not far from the high ground. It was just right.
Cut the wood and build a camp!
In a forest that was not very dense, the light rain was falling slowly and quietly. Luo Longguang sat down on his horse and panted heavily. Is he really going to abandon his horse and run away here? Thinking of his nephew's words, he subconsciously started again
When he turned back to look at Zhu Biao, he saw his nephew rushing to the front, and he was about to collide with Zhu Biao!
We bumped into him, we bumped into him! My nephew is also a warrior in the army, the best of the Luo family!
Then, Luo Longguang was pulled off his horse by Guard Xiao and Commander Deng and went into the woods. Luo Longguang was in despair. Just now he saw with his own eyes that his nephew, a strong general in the army, was picked off by Zhu Biao with a single shot.
Dismounted...
They were killing each other with one shot, but when the follow-up soldiers caught up, only less than seventy of the hundred or so Zhongshan troops who came back to kill were left. Among them, there were only those who were more gorgeously dressed and whose armor was shiny.
All the generals were picked and killed by Zhu Biao.
Hundreds of elite cavalrymen fought desperately, but they could not resist for even a quarter of an hour. When Zhu Biao led his troops and chased him outside the woods, Luo Longguang had not escaped very far in the woods.
"Surround it up for me, and not a single bird can be released—"
The birds started to fly in the forest. Zhu Biao looked at the position where the birds were flying. He struck the ground with his spear and flew off his horse. The man with no feet touching the ground jumped towards the forest like a big bird fluttering its wings.
"Brothers, surround the forest..." Feng Enjiang shouted loudly. He was no longer worried about whether Luo Longguang in the forest could escape. He believed in his general. With Zhu Biao taking action, even ten Luo Longguang could not escape.
…
On the same day, on the official road from Wei County to Dongjiang County, a team of more than 10,000 people was running.
At the same time, the killings continued outside the west gate of Wei County.
"Whoosh!" The sound of the crossbow piercing the air is better than the King of Hell's soul-chasing order, which pierces through the air in a row. Even a shield cannot withstand the piercing of feather arrows!
These crossbow arrows, which are as thick as spears, cannot be resisted by ordinary soldiers. The huge arrow clusters are in a triangular cone and are best at breaking armor and piercing. The shots are very powerful, and they often penetrate the target for two or three more times.
Talent will stop. In just a few dozen breaths (unit of time), the Han infantry on the battlefield experienced a catastrophic blow under the firing of the bed crossbow. They went from being aggressive to having to retreat.
Time is changing!
When Yun Zheng returned to the city, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the dead bodies lying all over the city outside the city with a miserable expression. There were hundreds of them. Hate, hate, hate as high as the sky! Those damn iron caltrops
As well as the horse trap and the three deep and wide tunnels in front of the camp, the Zhongshan bandit was so vicious that his eyes became bloodshot just thinking about it.
"General, I will ask for orders at the end of the night to charge again!"
He returned in vain and was defeated in a battle. It dispelled the arrogance of all the Han generals in Wei County!
If the previous attack on the enemy stronghold in Xicheng was just to pull back the more than 10,000 enemy cavalry, after the defeat, everyone really focused on the threat of these enemy strongholds.
The enemy camp at Ximen is the weakest link among the enemies on all sides. If you can't break out here, doesn't it mean that your entire army will be trapped in Wei County?
How much savings can a small county have? Thirty thousand people and horses retreated into the city. If people eat horse chews, the entire county will be eaten up in less than a month. When the army retreated into the city, it did not bring much military supplies!
When General Sheng Tengfang looked at the enemy camp outside the city, he had changed from helping friendly forces to solving dangers for himself. This was a fundamental change!
In the former case, paying thousands of casualties would be "more than worth the gain"; in the latter case, no matter how many casualties there are, it is worth it!
It's hard to resist at dawn, so we have to wait for the sun to set and break the camp in a night battle!
At noon, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed and the fierce sun rose.
The cool feeling brought by the light rain in the early morning quickly disappeared, and the scorching sun steamed nearly 100,000 soldiers in armor and helmets from both armies.
By dusk and sunset, there was no sign of rain on the ground.
"Yun Zheng, all the cattle and horses in the county have arrived. In tonight's battle, the west gate must be broken open." Sheng Tengfang spent an afternoon gathering the horses and cattle in the Wei County city together, and also collected a large amount of grease.
, making every effort to prepare for the battle at night.
Countless people in the city were crying without tears. The farmers were afraid that the Zhongshan Army would harm their cattle and sheep, so they fled into the county with their cattle, but they did not want to be recruited by their own officers and soldiers.
The horses are the packhorses of wealthy families in the county, and there are more than a hundred of them when gathered together.
"General, don't worry, we will eventually break the enemy camp." Yun Zheng replied sternly. A sense of courage and perseverance emanated from his body, which was a spirit of fierceness at all costs.
The sky gradually darkened, the moon rose, and the stars flashed. The Han army in the city was fully prepared. The lesson learned in the morning told Yun Zheng that relying on military strength to attack violently would only make the blood of the soldiers flow in vain. The bows of the Zhongshan thieves
Under the cover of a strong fort, crossbow equipment can be exchanged one for two, or even one for three. With that kind of exchange, every Zhongshan military stronghold will be an extremely bloody mill.
If Ximen's victory was exchanged for such a price, how much blood would the Han army shed?
Ten thousand or twenty thousand?
Therefore, we must use tricks to reduce self-inflicted casualties as much as possible!
