In fact, if Yuwen Gong calmed down and looked around, he would find that someone like him who has the courage to climb is pretty good. Most of the soldiers hold their heads and dare not move. This is better than the fire and explosion of thunderbolts.
In the middle, all the souls and souls of the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have probably been drained out. Who still has the mind to think about how to escape, let alone see what the commander is doing.
Unfortunately, he didn't look. The desire to escape made Yuwen Gong realize that there should be no shells coming from the city wall for a while. He almost exhausted all his strength, jumped up suddenly, and ducked to the passage of the upper city walk.
, If it weren’t for the quick eyesight and quick hands of the few soldiers who were hiding on the trail to the upper city, and stretched out their hands to stop Yuwen Gong, Yuwen Gong would probably have rolled down the trail to the upper city.
After beating the city wall, Yuwen Gong cursed Dugu Yongye fiercely in his heart.
Didn't you say they were just "light soldiers"?
The enemy clearly carries so many artillery pieces, but you're telling me they are light troops?
Of course, Yuwen Gong is being unreasonable here, and Dugu Yongye is only speculating on the possible movements of the Han army and the composition of the Han army - those transported by ship will definitely not be armored cavalry, heavy armored soldiers, etc., and they will carry thunderbolts.
The Han army had chariots and siege ladders, so there is no problem in calling them light troops.
But who would have thought that Luo Yi would carry so many artillery pieces?
However, Yuwen Gong himself was dissatisfied with Dugu Yongye and Cui Yanmu joining forces to evade his power.
Dugu Yongye was in charge of the military and Cui Yanmu was in charge of the civil affairs. The two of them were in harmony with each other and had almost no conflicts. Everything was in order, so naturally there was no room for Yuwen Gong to use it.
Yuwen Gong still fantasized about being able to add dazzling color to his resume through the experience of sitting in the rear area of Youzhou. After being manipulated by the two of them, he became an out-and-out soy sauce, and naturally he felt early.
There is some injustice, and even behind the conflict between Dugu Xuda and Cui Yanmu, there is an element of instigation by Yu Wengong.
While he made friends with Dugu Xuda, he also expressed to Dugu Xuda that he had to obey Cui Yanmu's wishes.
This naturally made Dugu Xuda, a warrior who already disliked Cui Yanmu and felt that this guy had taken away his father and son's power to manage the civil affairs, even more wanted to cause trouble for Cui Yanmu. It would be best if he could catch him.
To kick him out of his current position, wouldn't Youzhou become the world of their father and son? Even the prince Yuwen Gong would have to obey orders obediently.
In the current turbulent times, once the Northern Zhou Dynasty cannot hold on, they, father and son, can still support Yuwen Gong to dominate the world in Youzhou, or even retreat to Liaodong, as long as they have this great righteousness and Yuwen Gong
This bloodline can always be supported by those Xianbei people who are unwilling to surrender to the Han people.
Duguxuda did not dare to mention this idea to his father, but he believed that if it really came to that point, his father would also choose to do this.
He didn't believe that his father was really loyal to the Xianbei people and Yu Wenxian.
Their surname was not Dugu originally.
"When will Dugu Xuda come?!" Yuwen Gong's voice also trembled amidst the rumbling sound of the cannon.
Dugu Yongye mentioned in his previous letter that Juyongguan was also in a hurry. He could not lead his army back to Yan County just because of his unconfirmed speculation. Therefore, the only thing Yuwen Gong could count on now was Dugu Xuda.
"Major General Dugu should still be on the way. Your Highness, should we let the cavalry out of the city and charge for a while first? Otherwise, when the city wall collapses, there will really be no way to save the day!" A general's face was covered with blood.
Don't know where it came from.
Yuwen Gong gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Then why are you still standing there?"
——————————
Where are the light soldiers you promised?
Not only Yuwen Gong wanted to ask this question, but Dugu Xuda also wanted to ask it.
The road from Yuyang County to Yan County is not far, and it is all plains. Logically speaking, the cavalry should be able to arrive soon. However, only five miles away from Yan County, Dugu Xuda was stopped.
This is a small river with no water at all. From the perspective of the water system, it should be regarded as an inconspicuous tributary.
This tributary is neither deep nor wide, but the Qingqi led by Dugu Xuda had to cross it as quickly as possible to reach Yanjun.
But there is only one bridge on the tributary, and the other bridge is very far to the north.
Youzhou is a vast and sparsely populated place, so there is no need to build a bridge across the river. Ordinary people can just jump into the ditch and climb up. But the cavalry cannot do that. It is slow and dangerous.
At the bridgehead, the Han army formed a fierce formation.
Although it looks like there are only 500 people, among these 500 people are all Mo Dao troops, musketeers and heavy armor soldiers.
The light soldiers advanced quickly and even carried heavy armor. What was the reason for this?
For the first time, Dugu Xuda felt that his father's judgment was so unreliable.
The only explanation is that the enemy has not only planned for a long time, but also has all their elites.
Compared with the strictly controlled firearms, the Han army's Mo Dao and mountain axes and other heavy armor soldiers and the weapons equipped by the Mo Dao team were not secrets that could not be known by the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
After being captured and tested on the battlefield, the Northern Zhou army had to admit the fact that these things were extremely lethal to cavalry, especially light cavalry without armor.
If the two armies meet by chance, the Qingqi can quickly bypass the enemy's heavy armored soldiers and Mo Dao formations with high mobility and attack their weak points. But when the two armies confront each other, they will definitely come prepared, and the Qingqi will
There seemed to be no other choice except a head-on confrontation with these cavalry killers.
Especially for the big man whose smelting industry has become more and more developed, it is not even a problem to build Mo Dao troops and heavy armored soldiers that are twice or even three times the number of enemy cavalry. Even if you can bypass my team of strangers,
Knife team, how can you bypass the Mo Dao team that is outflanking them from other directions?
The Han army already had the means to defeat the cavalry by relying on its superiority in numbers and equipment. This was one of the reasons why the Northern Zhou Dynasty had to turn its attention to the training of armored cavalry. At least there is no evidence yet that the Modao team and heavy armored soldiers can defeat
Armored Cavalry.
Youzhou also has armored cavalry, but it is a pity that Dugu Xuda did not carry armored cavalry.
He didn't know how long Yanjun could sustain it, so he almost subconsciously decided to bring all the light cavalry to support him. Anyway, the enemy was advancing with light troops. Even if there was a Mo Dao team, the number should not be very large, and the Musketeers
If so, as long as they can get close by relying on their numerical advantage, the musketeers will be nothing more than fish under the cavalry's sabers.
As a result, in this unknown creek and beside this unknown wooden bridge, Dugu Xuda saw the heavy armored soldier he least wanted to see.
There must be at least fifty people.
He brought a total of 800 cavalry as the vanguard, and about 2,000 infantry and cavalry did not arrive later.
