This seems to be a very simple matter of judgment and choice, but behind it it is likely to involve the troop dispatch and balance of power within Tuyuhun.
In other words, Murong Shifu was also using the Han army to polish his troops and frighten generals who did not want to obey orders or acted recklessly.
This is very interesting.
Since balance and deterrence are needed, it means that there is a contradiction within Tuyuhun, and it is very likely that this contradiction is not small.
On the other hand, for the big man, this is naturally a good opportunity to take advantage of.
However, Yu Wenxin had reason to suspect that he might not have this opportunity.
After Tuyuhun suffered a small loss, their offensive fighting spirit was obviously stronger, and their flags were also different from before, from chaotic to uniform. This shows that Murong Shifu must have been angered by the Han army's operations just now.
, so instead of letting each tribe take turns to fight, they sent out the absolutely elite troops of Tuyuhun's army, with the intention of directly breaking through the Han army's defense line in one go.
This war has been going on for a long time. If we start from the day when Tuyuhun's forward attacked the Han army, it has lasted for more than a month. However, in this more than a month, Tuyuhun not only defeated the Han army, but also defeated the Han army.
The army deployed several beacons and fortresses on the periphery, but actually did not achieve any results. Moreover, those beacons were isolated and helpless. Yu Wenxin originally ordered the retreat in order to save troops, so Tuyuhun actually did not achieve anything.
The heads of a few Han soldiers at the rear were not enough to boost military morale.
After that, Tuyuhun was stuck in the quagmire of attacking the outer barriers of Wuwei. The Han army, which had a large number of firearms and relied on the city walls, really made Tuyuhun, who was mainly light-armed infantry, helpless. After all, Tuyuhun was better at cavalry, but
Wuwei guarded the mountain pass, which was the hub of east-west travel, and Yu Wenxin had already fortified the wall and cleared the country, giving Tuyuhun cavalry no chance to play. Murong Shifu could only let each tribe take turns to go into battle in order to completely consume the Han through a protracted offensive.
The strength of the army.
But this round of counterattack by the Han army just now seemed to be a demonstration to Murong Shifu, showing him that the Han army still had the strength to fight, and the Tuyuhun cavalry who wanted to regain the ground was given a slap in the face. Murong Shifu
It's not surprising that Fubu is so angry and frustrated. It's also reasonable to send elite troops into battle and plan to make a desperate move.
But for Tuyuhun, it was reasonable, but for the Han army, the battle became more and more difficult.
Originally, He Ruobi's troops were busy digging trenches and building the next barrier, and were already very tired. However, compared to Shi Wansui's troops, they were still in a better position. The proactive attack just now seemed to be the Han army saying that they still had some strength.
The strong combat power actually meant that Yu Wenxin and He Ruobi hoped to use this counterattack to force Tuyuhun to adjust his formation, and then resume their attack on the Han army after resting.
The result was counterproductive. After all their efforts, they got a stormy counterattack from Tuyuhun. But there was nothing they could do about it. There were so many soldiers and horses. There was really no need to retreat to rest because of the defeat of the soldiers and horses. Even Murong
Shi Fudu may have seen through that the Han army was only at the end of its war effort, so he seized this opportunity to attack desperately.
"Boom!" Another city wall collapsed under the impact of the car.
Tuyuhun soldiers shouted and rushed in from the gap.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The musketeers of the Han army had been waiting behind the city wall for a long time. The muskets suddenly fired a barrage. The Tuyuhun soldiers in the lead were killed or injured for a while. But the soldiers behind were still rushing forward desperately.
"Fix the bayonet!" The leader of the team shouted loudly before it was too late to reload.
"Kill!" At the same time, the Han army's reserves also came forward.
The so-called reserves are actually the generals' personal guards and fire-headed troops, grooms and even some strong men in the city.
These men were mainly caravan escorts and shop assistants who were trapped in Wuwei. Naturally they were very resentful of Tuyuhun who had cut off his own financial resources, so they volunteered to fight against the enemy.
The war has reached this point, and even the fire-headed troops in the army are going to fight against it. Yu Wenxin naturally has no reason not to recruit young men, but there are actually not many local young men in Wuwei City. After all, there were only a few young men here a long time ago.
It has become a military fortress in the northwest of the Han Dynasty. Those who can join the army in the city have joined the army, and those who do not want to join the army have moved away early.
The remaining Dingzhuang, named Dingzhuang, were actually either old or weak. Yu Wenxin recruited these people by force, but did not let them cooperate in fighting outside. They were only responsible for defending the city. After all, such a group of people had no fighting ability in the first place.
Will, when he was brought to the front line, he didn't know whether he was here to help or to hinder him.
Weapons collided, swords intertwined, and the Han soldiers pushed the enemy away forcefully.
"Boom!" There was another loud noise, and another place collapsed.
The city wall had already been severely damaged during the days of attacks, but now Tuyuhun's attack was suddenly fierce, and the Han soldiers were also out of rhythm. Naturally, it was difficult to stop the enemy from charging and crashing the city wall one after another.
There were more and more gaps, and even if the reserve troops stepped forward one after another, they could not stop the enemy's fierce attack.
On the hill, Yu Wenxin waved his hand.
The red flag waved, and the artillerymen on the hill began to push the artillery back. At this point, the first line of defense could no longer be defended, so the mound had to be abandoned.
Under the mound, the crossbowmen have been deployed to deal with the enemies coming up from the gap. They may not be as reliable as the musketeers, but in terms of holding down the position and being able to kill the enemy by throwing them, they are definitely better than the musketeers.
This is not the first time that Yu Wenxin is ready to abandon the defense line. Otherwise, he would not have the need to let the resting team build new trenches and barriers behind. Even Yu Wenxin did not think of it when the battle just started.
The fierce battle on the first line of defense will last for less than a month.
It is no longer easy to withdraw our troops and abandon our defenses now.
It is possible that He Ruobi, who has just entered the battle, will be a little embarrassed in front of Shi Wansui.
After all, Shi Wansui had been guarding for so long, but as soon as He Ruobi entered the battle, the defense line was crumbling. It was no wonder that the situation had developed. Even if the situation developed to this point, it was actually not something that He Ruobi could decide. It was not even what Yu Wenxin expected.
Without an advantage in military strength, it naturally means that you have to be led by others everywhere.
"Ming Jin!" he ordered decisively.
As the golden sound sounded, the Han army's crossbowmen immediately moved forward, and arrows roared out, covering the outside of the city wall, which was enough to temporarily suppress the enemy's attack. At the same time, the two artillery pieces left on the hillside were also firing desperately to boost the momentum.
As soon as the golden sound sounded, the Han army officers and soldiers rushed forward and fought again, forcing Tuyuhun's army to withdraw from the gap.
