It seems that the main force of the enemy has returned, which is indeed a good result.
But this also means that by then relying on the mighty soldiers and horses, Yu Wenxin will not be able to withstand the enemy's two-sided attack.
A Wuwei city is indeed impregnable, but if half of the defenders in the city are gone, Yu Wenxin will be too clever to make a meal without straw!
Having met Yu Wenxin many times, Niu Er knew very well that Yu Wenxin was a ruthless man who was determined and dared to fight and charge. Even though this former Northern Zhou State Fairer was silent during the day, he had already thought about the whole situation in his heart.
The battlefield is all in his hands, otherwise Niu Er would not believe that Yu Wenxin could hold on for such a long time with an isolated city.
Niu Er thought about it and understood what Yu Wenxin wanted to do.
Leading the army to break through to attack Zhangye can allow the enemy to return. Although it puts oneself in a very dangerous situation, but the enemy's main force retreats, one's own reinforcements can naturally follow and move forward to break the siege of Wuwei, and even cooperate with the defenders.
Internal and external pincer attacks are possible. When the time comes, it is not even impossible to keep Tuyuhun's main troops under Wuwei City!
But Yu Wenxin also took great risks in doing so.
First, he must be able to break through the enemy's blockade and quickly enter Zhangye to obtain a large amount of food, weapons and equipment from the enemy's rear.
This is actually relatively easy to do.
According to the news about Zhang Ye's white robe, the city was already in chaos. It would be feasible for Yu Wenxin to take down Zhang Ye with the help of the white robe in the city.
After that, it is natural that the main force of the Han army can understand the elegant meaning of the string song and rush forward quickly. It is best to chase the enemy's main force and attack hard so that the enemy has no chance to breathe. Pei Zilie and Li Xun have experienced this in battles for a long time.
Of course it can be done.
But the key lies in how to let the main force of the Han army get accurate information and make coordinated actions.
As you can imagine, this task naturally fell on Baipao.
Niu Er must really retreat the enemy's main force as soon as possible, and send the news that Wuwei needs reinforcements to the Han army camp.
But from Wuwei to the river, there were countless Tuyuhun sentries along the way, so no matter how anxious Niu Er was, he could only walk along the Great Wall and into the desert outside.
The two young men who followed him had only joined the White Robe this year. In the army, they might have been veterans with one or two years of combat experience, but in the White Robe, they were still out-and-out newcomers.
After all, the struggle that White Robe faces is more cruel than that on the battlefield.
There is no shortage of ruthlessness and killing on the battlefield in Baipao. In addition, Baipao also has more abilities that he needs to possess.
Niu Er also took the two young people on this journey with the idea of giving them a bit of experience.
The wind blew my eyes so hard that I could hardly open them, and my whole body was covered with yellow sand.
"How long do we have to go? How long will it take to see this desert?" The man in white robe next to him, nicknamed "Little Tianshui", is an out-and-out Tianshui man.
The nickname on the other side is "Lao Cheng". This is a Ba man whose family has now moved outside Chengdu. He is a little thinner, but it is said that he used a sickle passed down from his family to kill one after another in the army.
Five people, covered in blood, were unstoppable for a while, so they were promoted to white robes after one year in the army. Especially since this guy has Qiang blood, it is more convenient than the Han people to gather information in the northwest.
Hearing Xiao Tianshui's complaint, Lao Cheng smiled and said: "When this battle is over and we can take a breath, we will take you from Qishan Mountain to Shu Road. Only then will you know what it means when the mountain climbs up.
'!"
Xiao Tianshui curled his lips: "Qishan Mountain is just south of my home. Don't think we have seen it before. Aren't you just better at climbing mountains and ridges? Don't brag when you are mature."
The old man smiled and said nothing.
Niu Er also said: "When this battle is over, as long as we are still alive, we will have a good fight."
"If we deliver the information, it will be a great achievement in itself. The imperial court should not be so stingy and not even willing to give him a drink." Xiao Tianshui said with a smile, "By then, Commander Niu will no longer be treating guests."
Just as Niu Er was about to say something, several graceful figures suddenly appeared on the sand dunes in front of him.
Narrowing his eyes, Niu Er decisively lowered his voice and said: "Disperse, lie down, quickly!"
There were several cavalrymen on the edge of the sand dune. Perhaps it was because it was difficult for war horses to walk in the yellow sand, so they all led the horses one foot deep and one foot shallow, and for a while they did not see the people on the opposite side of the dune slope.
three people.
Of course, Niu Er and the others were covered in yellow sand, so it was really hard to spot them from a distance.
The three people hurriedly retreated into the shadow of the sand dunes, but they were still a step too late!
The sound of war horses neighing suddenly sounded.
"Who is that person in front?!" The Tuyuhun cavalryman had already drawn his saber and had no time to get on his horse, so he simply slid down the sand dune.
"Fight!" Niu Er immediately pulled out the gun from his arms.
At this time, there is nothing to explain.
Once they came up to search them, they were armed with muskets, short blades, and secret agents. It didn't take much to figure out who Niu Er and the others were.
"Whoosh!" The arrow flew past almost grazing his scalp.
Several Tuyuhun soldiers had already pressed forward.
"Bang!" Niu Er lit the firecracker, looked back and shot, directly knocking down the nearest Tuyuhun soldier.
The few Tuyuhun soldiers in the back did not expect that the enemy actually held firearms. They did not dare to step forward for a while and lay down on the sand dunes. Although the sand was hot, it was better than being beaten with bloody holes all over their bodies.
Lao Cheng lit a thunderbolt and threw it towards it. After a muffled sound, the yellow sand danced wildly. Although he didn't know whether the enemy was killed or not, it at least blocked his sight and bought time for Niu Er and others to turn around and run away.
At this time, of course, you cannot really confront the enemy head-on.
There are at least a dozen people behind us.
Together, Niu Er said decisively: "I am going to distract the pursuers. You two should run away separately, one to the south and one to the north. You must deliver the letter to our army camp!"
Fortunately, I made triplicate and let everyone get one, otherwise I really don’t know how to divide it now. But even if the secret message with the specific arrangement of the enemy’s troops cannot be delivered, the message can only be conveyed orally.
, it can also allow the Han army to advance quickly to rescue Wuwei!
Lao Cheng and Xiao Tianshui looked at each other and were about to say something when a shout suddenly came from behind them.
The Tuyuhun soldiers were already calling for their companions.
Niu Er took out the two thunderbolts and the secret message from his arms, stuffed them both of them, turned around and rushed out of the sand dune, rolled on the spot, and several arrows almost bit him and pierced him into the sand.
Niu Er's firecracker fired again, but unfortunately this time there was no harvest, but it also forced the Tuyuhun soldiers to shrink back.
The separation lasted only a moment. Lao Cheng and Xiao Tianshui couldn't care about anything else and immediately ran in two directions.
