Four hundred and seventieth eight chapters counterattack
Seventy thousand cavalry troops were divided into two groups and surrounded the Qiang coalition forces outside Jiuyuan City.
The siege battle was in full swing, and both sides were fighting to the point of madness, with no intention of giving in.
"what sound?"
The Qiang leader suddenly heard a strange sound.
"No, it's the cavalry."
Hearing this sentence, the other leader was stunned. This voice was too familiar. Isn't it the sound of thousands of horses galloping?
"Pull in troops and retreat."
At this moment, they realized the danger and immediately blew the trumpet to summon the soldiers who were attacking the city to retreat.
When they heard the retreat horn sounding, the Qiang people who were attacking the city were a little confused. What was the situation and why were they blowing the horn now?
Although his mind was full of doubts, he still obeyed the order and slowly retreated from the city wall and retreated backwards.
"General, why did they retreat?"
Yuan Ping came to Gao Shun's side and looked at the retreating Qiang people with doubts in his eyes.
"It's normal to retreat, because the military advisor has already arrived with the cavalry."
Although Gao Shun could not see the cavalry rushing towards them, he already knew the cause of the problem from the actions of the Qiang people.
"Really? Then should we go out of the city to pursue him?"
Gao Shun was stunned when he heard Yuan Ping's words.
A pursuit out of the city?
Infantry chasing cavalry?
Are all the soldiers in Jizhou so warlike?
Are you so desperate?
"Captain Yuan, the army of military advisors has arrived. If we go out to pursue the city now, we are likely to be counterattacked by the enemy. No one can afford to lose Jiuyuan City by then, and it is conceivable that it will be difficult for the infantry to pursue the cavalry, so we
As long as you guard Jiuyuan, you will have made a meritorious service."
"I understand, I was reckless."
Yuan Ping nodded, Jiuyuan City was too important to allow any loss, but he was too reckless.
"Well, let's just wait and see how the military advisor encircles and suppresses the Qiang people."
"promise."
The offensive and defensive battle in Jiuyuan City has pressed the stop button, but the battle under the city has pressed the accelerator button.
It is now impossible for the less than 30,000 Qiang cavalry to escape. The left and right wings of the 70,000 cavalry are like the claws of a crab, completely enveloping them in the middle.
The Qiang people also knew that if they wanted to break out of the encirclement, their only hope was to fight to the death and fight their way out.
The battle got out of hand, and countless cavalrymen fell from their horses and died miserably on the ground. Facing the two-sided attack, the Qiang people were quite passive and could only fight bravely with all their strength.
As time went by, the Qiang people gradually lost their combat effectiveness after three days of hard fighting, and their numbers became smaller and smaller.
The ordinary Qiang soldiers were exhausted. At this time, the clan leaders of each ethnic group finally dispatched their personal guards. Nearly 10,000 of the most elite Qiang warriors launched an attack without fear of death, but they finally defeated them.
gap.
"Walk."
Without hesitation, several clan leaders rushed out of the encirclement first, and then their elite bodyguards followed suit.
"Fill the gap."
Zhao Yun gave an order, and the gap that had been penetrated by life was directly filled, and it became an impossible dream for the remaining Qiang people to escape again.
"I surrender."
With no hope of escape, the Qiang people lost hope and surrendered to Zhao Yun and others.
Seeing the desperate Qiang people throwing away their knives and dismounting and kneeling down to surrender, the Yuan Shujun who surrounded them also stopped holding the butcher knife in their hands.
"Gather the prisoners."
Since the Qiang people have surrendered, there is no need to kill more people. After all, the future of Jizhou and even the future of the Han Dynasty still needs to be built, and these people are the best labor force.
"Military advisor, what should we do with the Qiang people who escaped?"
Zhao Yun rode his horse to Xun You's side.
"Let them go. Without the tribe's cavalry, those people are just duckweeds floating in the wind. It won't be long before they are eaten by other Qiang people without even leaving their bones. Send a telegram to the lord. He can
The net is closed."
Xun You is right, in troubled times, strength is the most important, and the escaped Qiang people without soldiers and horses are the best fat, and anyone will want to come up and bite them.
"promise."
Zhao Yun nodded.
"My lord, a telegram from the military advisor."
Wen Chou took Xun You's telegram and rushed directly into Yuan Shu's tent.
"Really? How is the battle going?"
Yuan Shu threw away the book in his hand and looked at Wen Chou with sparkling eyes.
"A great victory. The 60,000 Qiang cavalry were almost wiped out. Only a few escaped. The military advisor allowed us to start the offensive against the Xianbei people."
Wen Chou handed the telegram to Yuan Shu.
"Okay, the military advisor is indeed a military advisor, and Gao Shun did not disappoint me. The next step is up to us. He ordered the entire army to launch a general attack on the Xianbei people."
"promise."
Yuan Shu gave an order, and the camp that had been dormant for a long time suddenly burst out like a volcano, leaping out with high fighting spirit, gathering under the leadership of their respective team leaders, ready to launch an attack at any time.
"Today I will treat the whole army to a drink in Wujin County."
Yuan Shu stood on the general platform, looked at the army below, and said a short sentence.
"kill."
"kill."
"kill."
Although Yuan Shu's words were simple, the sergeants responded with high-pitched voices. Countless shouts were like rolling thunder, breaking away the originally gloomy clouds, revealing a clear and scorching sun.
"Set off."
Seeing the high morale, Yuan Shu had nothing else to say, drew out his long sword and pointed forward.
The wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, and the martyrs are standing in all directions. They are the long sword in Yuan Shu's hand, and all directions pointed by the long sword are destroyed.
"Clan leader, clan leader, Yuan Shu has sent out troops."
Yuan Shu sent out troops, but the formation was so large that it was difficult for the Xianbei scouts to find out. They hurriedly reported the news to the base camp in Wujin County.
"Instruct the entire army to assemble and prepare for battle."
The Xianbei people were not vegetarians. With an order, nearly 40,000 cavalry galloped on horseback and began to gather outside Wujin City.
Time passed by, Yuan Shu's army marched for a long time, and finally entered the city in the afternoon.
"What do we do now?"
Looking at the huge lineup on the opposite side, the Xianbei people panicked a little.
"Why are you panicking? We have 40,000 cavalry. If Yuan Shu wants to capture us, he needs to have a good mouth first."
Banbor looked at the opposite side. Although they had transferred a large number of soldiers and horses, their strength could not be underestimated.
"That's right, what are you afraid of? As long as they don't want their lives, I, Balkan, will twist their heads first."
There was no fear in Balkan's eyes, only surging fighting spirit.
"Well, be ready for a big fight at any time."
Banbor nodded towards Balkan. At this moment, he felt that having such a rough guy as Balkan was actually quite good.
"Kongren, how about I leave this battle to you to command?"
Yuan Shu looked at Dong Zhao beside him, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
"Lord, this is a bit inappropriate."
When Dong Zhao heard Yuan Shu's words, he was a little stunned and didn't react. He was handed the command of a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people to someone who didn't know the basics. Isn't it a bit too casual?
