Soon the arrows covered the tops of several nearby houses.
It's a pity that the Han soldiers have already slid down the roof, or hid under the eaves, or simply went into the tunnel. How can I give you a chance?
However, once the Han soldiers left, there was naturally no obstacle to the Tuyuhun army. Except for the rumbling sound of cannons in the distance, it seemed that there were no enemies nearby.
They suddenly regained their fighting spirit.
The defense line of these Han people looks a bit complicated, and they did catch us off guard just now, but it would be too naive to think that we will turn around and run away now.
The Tuyuhun soldiers calmed down and continued to advance along the trench towards the house.
At the same time, there were still a dozen or so brave people in the trench who jumped out of the trench and walked directly along the road.
"Boom!" Two thunderbolts were thrown from behind the walls on both sides.
The road is clear again.
Those who were more courageous just now either turned into corpses or rolled back into the trench in a hurry, their faces turned pale. How dare they continue to dig out?
The trenches lead to several courtyards behind the first row of houses, all the way to the entrance of the courtyard.
Before the Tuyuhun soldiers could rush forward, they were shot down with random shots on the courtyard wall and behind the fence.
"Retreat, retreat!" the Tuyuhun soldiers in the front row shouted in panic, but it was a pity that it was too late.
At the same time, thunderbolts were also thrown at the houses on one side of the trench. The Tuyuhun soldiers were almost forced to line up in a long snake formation in the trench. They could not move forward or backward. They could only watch helplessly.
The sizzling, smoking black iron ball rolled down at his feet, and immediately with a "boom", nothing could be seen in front of him.
"Kill!" The courtyard door and the house door opened almost at the same time. The Han soldiers waved their swords and rushed forward along the trench, or jumped from a certain section of the trench and opened their bows left and right, directly cutting off the connection between the enemy teams.
The Tuyuhun army in the trench was like a snake cut into several sections, and was quickly wiped out.
The sound of ringing gold came from the city. It was obvious that not only the east side, but also the Tuyuhun army that launched attacks on the north side also suffered losses.
They had realized at this time that it was not a question of whether to fight hard or not, but a question of how to familiarize themselves with the Han army's tactics and find their flaws.
Otherwise, I don’t know how many lives will be piled on this.
Tuyuhun's soldiers originally naively thought that if they entered the city, the battle would be over. But now that the Han army suddenly came, not only the soldiers were at a loss, but the generals were also hesitant. If they continued to charge forward, they still didn't know.
There are so many traps, and they may directly damage morale, so it is better to retreat first.
Seeing Tuyuhun's army retreating to the city wall like a tide, Yu Wenxin actually breathed a sigh of relief.
From the time Tuyuhun's army broke into the city to the time the two sides started fighting around the first trench in the city, there was actually not much time.
The soldiers of the Han army also retreated from the city wall in a hurry. In fact, they were also in a panic. It was just that Yu Wenxin had arranged a troop of troops and horses in the city early to respond at any time. If the Tuyuhun army had the ability to continue to attack, they would
I found that the resistance of the Han army would also become messy. It was definitely not as organized as the first line of defense just now. After all, the Han army had just retreated and many structures were in chaos. At this time, the generals in the courtyard were still looking for
own subordinates.
However, Yu Wenxin also knew that after the Tuyuhun army obviously suffered a loss in the first trial, they would definitely concentrate on finding a way to crack it. And if they took a condescending look at it, they should be able to realize that these simple houses on the periphery could not really serve as Han dynasty.
The support of the army's defense line was only that the Tuyuhun army was inexperienced in attacking at the beginning and was too conservative. If they followed the Han army's trenches, they would naturally fall into a trap.
Winning the first battle does not mean that subsequent battles will be easy.
Yu Wenxin raised his head and looked at the sky.
Night was about to fall, and Tuyuhun's army had begun to light torches one after another. It was obvious that they planned to attack throughout the night. Otherwise, if the Han army could not protect them in the dark, what trouble would they cause?
I hope I can still see the dawn.
Yu Wenxin took a deep breath: "Send the order and all units can lure the enemy deep and encircle and annihilate them!"
Luring the enemy deep and attacking from both sides is the essence of street fighting.
————————-
The night is dark, but the fighting has not stopped.
The Tuyuhun people were also afraid of long nights and many dreams, so they launched an attack after a short rest.
Before nightfall, they broke through the outer defense line.
As Yu Wenxin expected, the Tuyuhun people knew from the city wall that the enemy's peripheral defense line was actually just an empty frame, so they rushed forward regardless of the situation. After crossing the peripheral trench, they attacked the houses on both sides at the same time. Unfortunately, the Han army had already followed it.
After retreating through the tunnels, all they got were a few simple houses.
Even so, Yu Wenxin had no intention of letting them take advantage. The artillery quickly turned its muzzle and wiped out those several houses and the Tuyuhun soldiers who rushed into the houses.
The tunnel entrance of the Han army was naturally crushed under the rubble.
As for why no thunderbolts were used, the Tuyuhun army must have guessed that the Han army would plant thunderbolts in these houses. Then all the leads would be in vain, so it would be easier to demolish them directly with artillery. And this is not easy.
It would cause the tunnel to be blown down directly. At that time, the Han army could still enter the ruins through the tunnel and outflank the enemy's rear.
After all, the Tuyuhun army had no experience in street fighting. Apparently they were not aware of so much and just pushed forward.
There are traps and explosions all the way, it’s so exciting.
The Han army did not take any tough resistance measures, but harassed them continuously. Once the enemy rushed up, they calmly separated to both sides to make way.
It is only now that a real frontal battle has begun around the Liang family's residence in Zhangye.
The Liang family is not a big local wealthy family, but in Zhangye, a place that has been torn by wars for a long time, those who are a little rich will repair their own mansions and make the compound more secure.
The Liang family had already gathered in the Zhangye Mansion Office in the city, and the courtyard was guarded by Han army soldiers and Liang family servants who were familiar with the environment. Most of these servants were from poor Han backgrounds, and they themselves welcomed the arrival of the Han army.
The Han Dynasty has been implementing policies such as distributing land to aristocratic families for so many years. Even those in Hexi have heard about it. Don’t forget that Hexi is a place that connects Guanzhong and the Western Regions. In terms of being well-informed, it is actually better than the Han Dynasty in many remote areas.
Mountainous areas.
Therefore, now we are fighting for the Han Dynasty, and we are also guarding our own courtyard. We have no shirking responsibilities both for public and private purposes.
With the cooperation of these servants, the Han soldiers were naturally at home. If they were in a well-positioned fighting position, they would concentrate their forces and fight to the death. However, if they were in a bad position, they would simply retreat and let the enemy enter the courtyard and then ambush the house.
The Han troops in the center attacked from all sides and were quickly wiped out.
