In particular, the Han army laid a large number of traps in the small garden of the mansion. After the Tuyuhun soldiers fell into the traps one after another, they did not dare to move forward even when they looked at the open door in front and the destroyed courtyard wall.
.
This doorway is a bit dangerous.
Therefore, some of the Tuyuhun troops attacking from the outside fought hard but could not advance even half a step, while others looked at the open road ahead and scratched their heads but did not dare to advance.
However, they did not hesitate for too long. Suddenly, there was a killing sound behind them, causing the Tuyuhun soldiers to look back in panic.
From the empty houses and even ruins on both sides of the road, countless Han soldiers armed with horizontal swords appeared out of nowhere and ran into the crowd. No matter what, they were struck head-on with a sword!
The sword was shining brightly, reflecting the moonlight and fire.
The Tuyuhun soldiers were suddenly shocked.
Where did the enemy come from and why wasn't it discovered just now?
"Kill!" The Han soldiers on the wall in front of the courtyard also roared.
The courtyard gate suddenly opened, and the spearmen rushed out, forcing Tuyuhun's army to retreat.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, there is an ambush!" This was the subconscious reaction of the Tuyuhun generals.
The originally aggressive Tuyuhun soldiers dispersed in a hurry.
"Stand up the team, don't mess up!" a Tuyuhun general shouted.
Something is wrong!
"There's no need to fix it, just stay here!" A loud laugh came from the side, and Shi Wansui had already reached him with a sword drawn horizontally. He raised the knife in his hand and dropped it, causing blood to splash.
General Tuyuhun's eyes widened, and he didn't even know where the enemy came from until he was about to die.
Although tunnel warfare was not the first creation of our country's military and civilians behind enemy lines during the Anti-Japanese War, but had already appeared during the Song-Liao War, for people of this era, for these Tuyuhun people living on the plateau, this thing had not existed before.
Never thought about it at all.
Who would have expected that Zhangye City was already covered with tunnels. In the past few days, the Han army's so-called rush to repair the city defenses had actually been spent on digging tunnels.
Based on the experience of the Battle of Wuwei, the Tuyuhun people obviously realized that the best way to deal with the Han army was to concentrate their weapons and equipment to destroy the city wall, quickly close the fighting distance with the enemy, and even directly enter hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, they concentrated their firepower to bombard Zhangye.
After tearing open the gap in the city wall, they concentrated their troops to break through here, in order to get closer to the Han army and force the Han army to give up their advantage in firearms.
I don’t know that the Han army actually planned this.
There are not many defenders in Zhangye, and Zhangye's city is just like that. Yu Wenxin himself did not expect how long the city could last. When the Tuyuhun people came up, they would definitely use trebuchets to smash them, and put all the soldiers and horses on it.
On the city wall, it is true that the enemy can be killed from a long distance, but just like the previous battle of Wuwei, there are so many trebuchets that cannot withstand the enemy at all.
Therefore, it is better to use the depth of the city to bring the enemy in, and then use the Han army's more experience in street fighting to defeat them one by one.
This is why the Han army built city defenses, but they were all built into the city. There were even several missing crenellations on the city wall that were not repaired in time.
Facts have proved that Yu Wenxin’s idea was indeed good. Even if the missing crenellations were repaired, they would not be able to help the Han soldiers stop the enemy from entering through other gaps. However, the crisscrossing trenches in the city and the echoing houses and houses,
But it's enough to inflict heavy losses on the enemy.
The trebuchet on the city wall roared angrily. After the Tuyuhun people entered the city, their tentative attack was frustrated, so they decisively moved the trebuchet to the city wall and attacked the Han army from a high position. It was obvious that the previous shooting did not cost the Han army a heavy price -
-In fact, the Tuyuhun people didn't know what to attack before, so they could only blindly throw stone bullets at those houses, which was nothing more than breaking down a few courtyard walls.
However, the Han army itself had no intention of relying on the courtyard wall to defend it.
Within the courtyard walls, in the houses and even on the beams, there are groups of Han soldiers. As long as you have the guts to come in, we will have the guts to strangle you.
If you engage in hand-to-hand combat around the city wall, there are so many of you that we really can't defeat you.
But in a hand-to-hand battle around these houses, no matter how many of you there are, it is impossible for all of you to join in. However, we can calmly use tunnels, etc. to support each other and separate you, so that we can defeat you one by one.
In a one-on-one hand-to-hand combat, who were the Han soldiers afraid of?
The Tuyuhun army obviously realized that the defense system in front of them was far from simple as they imagined, and they retreated one after another.
Shi Wansui led more than ten Han soldiers to pursue a few steps forward, forcing the enemy to retreat to the outermost trench, and then retreated decisively. They ducked into the surrounding houses and soon disappeared.
The next moment, stone bombs rumbled against the trenches and roads where the two sides had just fought. But apart from the corpses of Tuyuhun people everywhere, where were the shadows of Han soldiers?
At this time, Shi Wansui was already walking through the ash-dusted tunnel of "Pulengling". He couldn't help but secretly cursed that the enemy's stone bullets were powerful enough. If he hadn't dug a little deeper when digging the tunnel, he might have been killed.
Crash.
The air in the tunnel did not smell good, and the groans of the wounded Han soldiers could be heard everywhere.
Because the surface was too dangerous, the wounded were placed underground near the government office in the center of the city. Although the environment was poor, it was better than being smashed into pulp by stone bullets directly above.
Several medical soldiers passed by in a hurry, and Shi Wansui reached out to stop one of them: "How long can the current medicines last?"
The medical soldier was startled for a moment before he recognized who the man with blood on his face was in front of him: "General, it can only last for one day at most, and the tunnel is so narrow that many surgeries cannot be performed. We can only do simple
Bandage..."
Shi Wansui nodded.
He has been exposed to Dahan's medical methods for a long time, and he already knows very well that if many injured people cannot be operated on in time, it will only lead to further infection of the wounds, and amputation will be a trivial matter by then, and their lives may not be saved.
But there is no way, now, it is war!
"We discussed this with General Yuwen at a certain meeting." Shi Wansui patted their shoulders, "Thank you for your hard work."
"General, would you like to bandage it?" the medical soldier took out a bandage.
Shi Wansui wiped his face with a smile, stretched out his hand and said: "These are all those damn local dogs, not a certain person. Go get to work. With the skills of those local local dogs outside, they can't hurt a certain person."
!”
Shi Wansui's laughter immediately attracted the attention of the Han soldiers in the caves on both sides of the tunnel, and everyone couldn't help but smile.
The general's approachability and confident laughter were obviously an inspiration to them.
"Cherish these days. When the reinforcements arrive, we will be heroes. We will either be enshrined in the Temple of Heroes, or be treated as treasures by the court to train new recruits. We will never want to fight such a hard battle again!" Shi Wansui followed immediately.
