The enemy is huddled on the outside of the ferry. The main force of the Han army has arrived, and they can win it with an all-out attack.
But what happens next?
How could Pei Zilie dare to use all his strength when he couldn't find the enemy's main force?
This battle was really frustrating.
Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Since our scouts have not discovered the enemy's main force for a long time, is there a possibility that the enemy's main force was forced to return for some reason? Therefore, Murong Shifu could only leave his son to defend the line.
, step back step by step, and solve the imminent trouble yourself first."
"What kind of trouble is there for the Tuyuhun people to teach us at this time?" Wei Yuancheng frowned.
"There are many possibilities." Pei Zilie said directly, "The Tuyuhun people are not monolithic in the first place. Now that Murong Shifu has led almost all the elites to attack the northwest, the tribes staying behind may not necessarily have conflicts. Once
They are stirring things up in the back, so does Murong Shifu still have the mood to wait here?"
Li Xun couldn't help but said: "What's more, we don't have any power behind the Tuyuhun people..."
"General, are you talking about the defenders of Wuwei?" Wei Yuancheng said in surprise, "If we consider the battle losses, there should be only a few thousand defenders of Wuwei left. How is this possible?"
Thousands of combatable soldiers, relying on the city and firearms, can indeed cause a headache for the enemy. However, it is a bit unrealistic to take the initiative to attack or even directly disrupt the enemy's entire rear area.
Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Although the number of Wuwei defenders is small, are there too many enemies left to fortify outside Wuwei City? The main force of Tuyuhun has crossed Wuwei and headed northwest, which means that they can only leave behind
There should not be many soldiers and horses. Therefore, if our army can take the initiative to attack from Wuwei and bypass the Great Wall, it can directly threaten Zhangye. Once Zhangye is cut off, the enemy's food route will be directly threatened. If someone is Murong Shi
Fu, I’m afraid you want to return to the army in a hurry at this time, right?”
Wei Yuancheng couldn't help but said in surprise: "Can the defenders do this with force?"
Whether Yu Wenxin and others are reliable has always been a difficult decision for the Han military. This has also caused the reinforcements from Taiwei Mansion, Anding and other places to go back and forth when formulating plans.
This matter. After all, whether Wuwei can only hold on for one day and whether it can hold on for several months will have a very different impact on the entire battle situation. And if the Wuwei defenders can perform better than imagined, then things will be even more interesting.
It is very possible that the Wuwei defenders were attacking fiercely in the front, but the troops in the rear did not dare to advance rashly because they did not know what was happening in the front, which may lead to the situation of the good battle being turned upside down in the blink of an eye.
So the problem that Wei Yuancheng has now is actually a problem that has been plaguing Pei Zilie, Li Xun and others.
Are the Wuwei defenders reliable?
And Wuwei, what is happening now?
"No matter what happened in Wuwei, or behind the Tuyuhun people, or what happened in the Western Region or Fuqi City, at least our scouts can confirm that the enemy's main force is indeed no longer near the battlefield, so our first task is to break through the enemy's defense at the ferry as soon as possible
, open up the connection with Jincheng and connect the entire front as one. When the time comes, whether it is crossing the river to rescue Wuwei or confronting the enemy's belated main force on both sides of the river, at least we have the initiative." Pei Zilie gave the order simply, "
No need to hesitate anymore, concentrate your forces and level the riverside barrier as soon as possible!"
"As you command!"
————————-
Someone can answer the questions that have been bothering Pei Zilie and the others.
Niu Er, this name sounds like a scoundrel.
But for Northwest Baipao, this name is worthy of everyone's respect.
"Niu Er" is just a nickname, it is the pseudonym of this guy among the white robes in the northwest. The Niu family is now gradually stabilized because of the emergence of Niu Hong, who led the Fenwu army to conquer Pingcheng and stabilized Youzhou, and has served as the governor of Youzhou.
It is known to the world, and now because it supports the rule of the Han Dynasty in the northwest, it seems to have the style of the first family in the northwest. Niu Er is a side branch of the Niu family in Anding, and is the second in the family. Because intelligence work often requires white-robed soldiers to remain anonymous,
So after Niu Er became his nickname and code name, people could hardly tell his real name.
In recent years, Niu Er's name has been well-known among the white robes in the northwest. He has transformed into a merchant and went deep into Hexi several times, and even reached all the way to the Western Regions, and started to establish the Han's intelligence network in Hexi.
Although due to the strict control and suppression within Tuyuhun - even the subordinates of Niuer's development are not all Han people, they are only the middle and lower class people in Tuyuhun society, and naturally they are also the objects of strict control by Tuyuhun - these
It was not so easy to collect intelligence in 2016. Even after the fighting began, most of the state capitals along the Hexi area implemented military control and established strict entry and exit systems, making the transmission of information even more difficult. But at least Niu Er was able to establish the entire intelligence network during the process.
, also collected a large amount of information related to Hexi, which was of great help to the Han Dynasty in formulating the next combat strategy. In addition, who can be sure that these intelligence networks are really of no use at all?
At this time, Niu Er and two young men walked against the wind and sand on the desolate desert outside the Great Wall, heading towards the river with difficulty.
Now the biggest task facing the northwest white robes is to restore contact with the Wuwei defenders as soon as possible. Wuwei is under heavy siege. The white robes have tried to sneak into the city several times, but they were caught by the Tyuhun cavalry who came like wolves from the outside.
heavy.
Niu Er, who personally commanded this task, decisively issued the order to retreat.
There are only so many people in the Northwest White Robes. The target on the Gobi Desert is too big. Once discovered by the enemy cavalry, the entire army will most likely be annihilated.
The whole army was wiped out, but Niu Er was not afraid.
As white robes, they have already been prepared to sacrifice at any time.
Is it so easy to dance on the tip of the enemy's sword?
But if this kind of sacrifice is like a moth flying into a flame, then I'm sorry, Niu Er can't do that.
Every soldier's life must be used on the blade as much as possible.
If you die in vain, the mission will never be completed.
Fortunately, Niu Er soon received the news from Zhangye. The Wuwei defenders actually broke through to the west at night. After breaking through the two enemy blockades, they did not retreat south along the Great Wall, but all the way to the northwest.
And left, now the whole Zhangye is in chaos.
Niu Er never expected that the Wuwei defenders would be so brave and dare to swim upstream at this time.
However, Niu Er knew better that if the Wuwei defenders risked their lives to divide their troops to cut off the enemy's logistics and food routes, they would inevitably force the enemy's main force to quickly regroup.
