Among the more than twenty assassins who infiltrated the Han camp among the common people, none escaped. Most of them died under the sword of Wu Han alone, and the rest either died in the hands of the guards or were captured alive.
Because of the assassination, the people of Wuyang who fled to the Han camp for refuge were all implicated and were expelled from the camp by the Han army.
The next day, another two to three thousand people escaped from Wuyang City. Their goal was still to take refuge in the Han army camp.
Wu Han had already issued an order. Not only were all the people who came to seek refuge not to be accepted, but they were also not allowed to approach his own camp.
When this group of common people ran toward the Han camp, they heard a sharp scream of "chirp" in the air, and then, a loud arrow fell from the sky and hit the front of the crowd of common people.
In the Han camp, someone shouted loudly: "This is an important area of the military camp, and no one can get close to it!"
When the people saw this, their faces suddenly changed with fright, and many people retreated involuntarily.
The courageous people were still moving forward, waving their hands as they walked, and shouting loudly: "We are all Wuyang people, and we have come to join the Han army!"
"General Cen has rescued us before, and we are all willing to join the Han army!"
Watching this large group of civilians approaching step by step, getting closer and closer to their own camp, the Han troops on the wall looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
People's eyes all fell on a military prince, and they all asked: "Sir, how should... these common people be dealt with?"
The military prince frowned and shouted loudly at the people walking outside: "Da Sima has ordered that no one is allowed to approach our camp. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy! People stop! Da Sima has ordered,
No one is allowed to approach our army camp..."
He shouted several times in succession, but the people walking by didn't seem to hear him.
Wuyang City has been closed for nearly ten days, and their family has already run out of food. They only rely on the county government's porridge every day. How can they eat enough?
Now that they have finally escaped from Wuyang, the only place where they can survive is the Han army camp. If they don't go to the Han camp, where can they go?
Moreover, the common people did not take the Han army's warning to heart. There were so many of them, could the Han army kill them all?
Seeing that the people of Wuyang were unmoved and continued to walk toward their camp, they were less than fifty steps away from the camp. Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the military lord.
While he was scratching his neck and shouting, he suddenly heard a voice asking from behind: "What's your name?"
The Marquis turned around and saw Wu Han, Liu Shang and other generals standing under the wall of the village, looking up at him. The Marquis was shaken and quickly ran down the wall, saluted Wu Han and said: "
The villain is in politics and has seen the great Sima!"
Wu Han looked him up and down and asked with a serious face: "Don't you know my order?"
"The villain...the villain knows!"
"Repeat it again!"
"If... anyone approaches our camp without authorization, you can... be shot to death without mercy!"
"Yeah!" Wu Han nodded, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Since you know the order I gave but you don't carry it out, do you want to disobey it?"
Yu Zheng was so frightened that his legs weakened, he knelt on the ground with a thud, and said anxiously: "The villain doesn't dare! The villain doesn't dare!"
Wu Han's face darkened and he shouted loudly: "Stand up! Carry out my order immediately!"
Yu Zheng's face turned pale. He didn't dare to waste any more time. He stood up, turned around and ran towards the wall of the village.
When he stepped over the steps, his feet slipped and he almost reached the steps. Yu Zheng held his helmet in his hand, ran back to the wall of the village, and shouted loudly: "Load arrows! Load arrows on the crossbow!"
He gave the order, and the soldiers of the Han army below moved together. People picked up the crossbows, pulled the strings, and fired into the crossbows.
Install crossbow bolts.
Yu Zheng swallowed his saliva, looked at the people outside the camp again, and shouted loudly: "Last warning, anyone who dares to approach our camp will be killed without mercy!"
There were probably hundreds of people walking over. After hearing Yu Zheng's voice-changed warning, some of them finally slowed down, looked at each other, and chose to retreat step by step.
But even so, there were still two to three hundred people who continued to move forward, including many women and children.
When Yu Zheng saw this, he grinned secretly. He said everything he needed to say and persuaded everything he needed to persuade, but these people just didn't listen, and he really had no choice. Yu Zheng took a deep breath and drew out the sword from his side.
, swung forward fiercely, and shouted: "Fire the arrow——"
Following his words, the Han soldiers standing on the wall of the camp fired crossbow arrows in unison. For a moment, there was a continuous sound of snapping crossbow strings. Yu Zheng closed his eyes, and he was stunned by the tragic situation of the camp.
Don't dare to look.
If all the people coming were enemy soldiers, no matter how many he killed, he would not blink an eye. But now, all the people coming were unarmed people, and he really couldn't bear it.
As the Han army fired crossbows, the crowd of people screamed in agony.
The people walking in front had their bodies covered with arrows and fell to the ground. Some women were hit by arrows and knelt down with their infant babies in their arms, making heart-rending shouts.
But soon, the women's shouts and the babies' cries were covered by the whistling sound of the arrow array. How could there be any eggs under the arrow array?
Densely packed crossbow arrows covered people's bodies layer after layer, and a layer of black grass seemed to grow on their bodies and on the ground.
The two to three hundred people who came to the Han camp could no longer see their figures, and the ground was covered with dense arrows.
The people standing outside the arrow formation had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that they cried for their fathers and mothers, turned around and ran away.
The arrow array stopped, and outside the Han camp, there was silence, a deathly silence.
Wu Han clasped his hands behind his back and strolled up the wall of the village. He looked at the situation outside the camp, nodded and said, "If this happens again, we can follow today's actions and follow suit!"
"Here!" The Han soldiers on the wall all stepped in and saluted.
Wu Han issued a killing order and shot hundreds of people who fled to the Han camp at once. Such ruthless and iron-blooded tactics made the people in Wuyang and surrounding areas no longer dare to flee to the Han camp for refuge.
In this way, the burden on the Han army was greatly reduced, and there was no need to worry about assassins sneaking into their camp.
But at the same time, Wu Han's reputation also became worse. With Cen Peng Zhuyu in front, the contrast between Wu Han's actions was so great that countless people in Shu cursed Wu Han behind his back.
Of course, Wu Han himself never cared about his reputation. What he wanted was victory, victory after victory, killing Gongsun Shu, becoming the emperor, and unifying the world for the Han family.
On the fifteenth day of the Battle of Wuyang, Gongsun Hui and Shi Xing, who were helpless against Wu Han and the Han army, finally couldn't stay in Wuyang City any longer. All other problems could be easily solved. The only Achilles' heel was the food problem.
Wuyang is only a stone's throw away from Chengdu, but food from Chengdu cannot be transported into Wuyang at all. Every time a vehicle was sent from Chengdu to Wuyang, it would be intercepted and killed by the Han army on the way.
Not only did not a single grain of grain arrive in Wuyang, but all of it fell into the hands of the Han army. During this battle, the Shu army in Wuyang was so hungry that their eyes glowed blue, while the Han army kept getting more and more food.
.
When the food in the city had been exhausted, Gongsun Hui and Shi Xing had no choice but to lead their troops out of the city to fight to the death with the Han army.
It's just that the entire Shu army, which was forced to fight, had no fighting spirit at all, their morale was low, they were all listless, and they looked like a loser.
On the other hand, the Han army has 50,000 soldiers with bright helmets. Regardless of the soldiers at the bottom or the generals at the top,
They are all full of energy.
The officers and soldiers of the Han army were all in high spirits and high in fighting spirit. They were eager to rush to the front of the two armies and have a showdown with the Shu army.
The military strength of both sides was twice that of the Han army, and in terms of morale and fighting spirit, the Han army was many times higher than the Shu army.
When the two armies came into contact, the high fighting spirit of the Han army was completely transformed into combat effectiveness. Instead of being repelled by the 100,000 Shu army, the 50,000 Han army was forced to suppress the Shu army and retreat continuously.
Seeing that the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for his own side, Shi Xing sent cavalry from the Shu army to bypass the Han army's flank, hoping to sneak attack Wu Han's central army.
Relatively speaking, Shi Xing's ability was stronger than Gongsun Hui's. He was able to marry Gongsun Shu's daughter and become Gongsun Shu's son-in-law, which showed that he was quite talented.
If he had met an ordinary general, he might not have been at a disadvantage, but unfortunately, he had met Wu Han, the number one god of war in the Han army.
Hearing that the enemy cavalry was attacking his flank, Wu Han laughed out loud. He looked left and right and asked loudly: "Are there any brothers who are willing to accompany me to meet the enemy?"
Upon hearing this, all the Han soldiers present raised their eyebrows and responded in unison: "We are willing to follow Da Sima, up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire, even if we are shattered to pieces!"
Wu Han's prestige in the army was so high that he responded to every call.
Hearing the response of the soldiers, Wu Han looked up and laughed, took off his own silver halberd from the victory hook of the war horse, and shouted loudly: "The Shu thieves still dare to use cavalry with me, Wu Han, they are just doing the same thing, and they don't know whether to live or die! Today,
Let the thieves see what it means to be a Youzhou surprise cavalry!"
After a pause, he said in a loud voice: "The cavalry will follow me to fight!"
The cavalry under Wu Han's command were all cavalry from the Southern Expedition Army, and the cavalry of the Southern Expedition Army were really built on the basis of Youzhou's sudden cavalry, and most of the war horses used came from Youzhou.
Before he took refuge with Liu Xiu, he was the magistrate of Yuyang County in Youzhou and a subordinate of Peng Chong. He had been dealing with the Huns for many years. Wu Han's ability to use cavalry and the combination of riding and infantry was no less than that of Geng Yan and Geng Shu.
A general who is good at using cavalry.
Wu Han led more than 2,000 cavalry under his command to attack thousands of Shu army cavalry sent by Shi Xing.
The cavalry on both sides were very good at reversing the direction, and they soon came into contact. Wu Han took the lead and rushed forward, holding the tiger's mighty silver halberd forward. The two horses staggered past, and the war horses ran past, while the Shu soldiers on horseback were
Being knocked off his horse by the halberd, Wu Han was knocked off his horse on the spot. Wu Han swung his halberd and fired his bow left and right. The Shu cavalry who ran past him were cut off from their horses one after another like dumplings.
A Shu general who was leading the cavalry came to Wu Han, swung the hammer in his hand, and hit Wu Han's head hard. Wu Han parried, deflected the opponent's hammer, and then swept forward with his halberd.
The Shu general was unable to dodge, and his chest was swept by the halberd. He screamed and fell off his horse. Wu Han urged his horse to rush forward, and met another Shu general. The halberd slashed Huashan with great force, but the opponent parried with his sword.
Bang, bang, Wu Han's powerful and heavy halberd not only broke the opponent's arms, but also broke all four legs of the opponent's horse, and both the man and the horse fell to the ground.
This situation made a Shu general behind him turn pale with fright. If he dared to step forward to fight, he turned his horse and ran away. Wu Han shouted loudly, urged his horse to catch up, and thrust his halberd into the Shu general's back.
Killing three Shu generals in a row is like trampling to death three ants in a row.
Galloping across the country for thousands of miles, one halberd can chill thirteen states. Wu Han and Wu Ziyan are invincible to thousands of people.
Thousands of Shu cavalry were defeated by two thousand Han cavalry led by Wu Han.
Only a few hundred Shu troops were killed, but when the Shu cavalry turned around and fled hastily, there were thousands of people who collided with each other or accidentally fell off their horses. This shows how badly the Shu cavalry was beaten by the Han cavalry!
