Thanks to the efforts of these tribes to create chaos, Murong Shifu failed to stop the Han cavalry, and Murong Xiaojun had to divide his troops to suppress the west side, allowing the Han cavalry and Liang Qucong's troops to retreat into the city.
As for the south gate, the situation was really as Yu Wenxin expected.
The various ministries in the Western Region gathered their troops and horses, with no intention of attacking or cooperating with the Han army, and they made it clear that they were watching the fire from the other side.
You fight slowly, and we'll watch the show.
Anyway, whoever wins in the end, we will hang out with.
Knowing that the big man still has the possibility of victory, if we follow Tuyuhun and fight hard, the future will not be safe, especially when the tribes under Tuyuhun, big and small, have jumped out one by one, which shows that the Murong family is about to become a traitor.
It has reached a point where we, the countries in the Western Regions, must not join in the fun at this time.
Therefore, when the East Gate and the North Gate were regained by the Han, the Han troops inside the South Gate just waved their flags and fired a few shots with their muskets, while the soldiers and horses from the Western Regions and other Tuyuhun tribes on the South Gate decisively
Back up.
Perhaps because they know that these small tribes are simply cannon fodder if they are involved in a war, these guys don't even think about relying on the South Gate to hold on.
This made the general of the Han army who peacefully took over the city gate dumbfounded. You must know that he actually only had a dozen musketeers plus more than a hundred lightly wounded and some strong men under his command. The number may not be a fraction of others.
At first, Yu Wenxin asked him to come and seize the city gate. The general thought that his coach had gone crazy. But now he realized that it was not that he was too strong, but that his opponent had no intention of fighting you.
As for Ximen, there were not many Tuyuhun soldiers and horses originally. As soon as Murong Xiaojun left, the tribes rebelled. The remaining Tuyuhun soldiers and horses could not hold up the situation and quickly retreated on their own initiative.
Therefore, this night, the Han army miraculously regained the four city walls that had been lost during the day.
Of course, the Han generals themselves knew that part of the reason why they were able to push back was because Yu Wenxin did not use all his strength in the previous defense, but planned to lure the enemy into the city for street fighting to delay more attacks.
If the enemy seizes the opportunity to launch a counterattack at this time, they will naturally gain good results.
But in fact, the more important reason is that the enemy's own civil strife suddenly disrupted Tuyuhun's troops and horses. Moreover, Tuyuhun's troops left guarding the city wall were also in disarray for a while, and there were even soldiers belonging to different tribes.
The situation is that the horses and horses directly meet each other with swords, otherwise the Tuyuhun army guards the city wall, relying on its numerical advantage, no matter what, the Han army will not be able to directly attack.
So this means that the Han army simply recaptured the city wall, and did not have much ability to defend the city wall under the continued attack of Tuyuhun's main force.
Murong Xiaojun led his troops to the west gate, Murong Chezhong led his troops to the north gate, and Murong Shifu gathered his troops and formed an array outside the east gate.
It is clear that the Murong clan has been angered. Whether it is to open up the main road to the retreat of Tuyuhun, or to show the world that the majesty of the Murong clan and Tuyuhun cannot be violated, they must capture Zhangye and even the city.
All the Han troops were crushed to ashes!
The various ministries in the Western Regions at the South Gate obviously did not dare to dawdle any longer, and they also formed their formations in a serious manner.
We didn't cause trouble for you big men last night. We failed to defeat the Tuyuhun Murong clan. Instead, we continued to huddle in the city. So don't blame us for being ruthless.
At this time, Yu Wenxin was not too nervous. He soon met Wei Yuancheng and Liang Qucong.
Wei Yuancheng obviously killed very happily yesterday. With less than 2,000 cavalry, he tore open the enemy's camp and rampaged all the way, disrupting the entire battlefield outside the east gate. Wei Yuancheng was naturally very happy.
In this battle in the northwest, he made many contributions as a forward, and after returning he was inevitably rewarded and promoted.
Liang Qucong looked aggrieved.
After a charge, the soldiers and horses under his command, including many direct soldiers and horses, suffered heavy losses. This was not the most annoying thing. The most annoying thing was that two of Liang Qucong's trusted subordinates turned against each other in the face of the battle.
Because they took the initiative to put in Murong's soldiers and horses, Liang Qucong obviously had tens of thousands of troops, but in the end he couldn't survive even a night, and retreated into the city in embarrassment, and even himself was slightly injured.
.
In addition, he also had the intention of testing Murong's reaction. It turned out that Murong was not only wary of him, but even the two camps on the left and right of Murong's direct line were clearly designed to deal with Liang Qucong.
of.
This made Liang Qucong even more disheartened.
In any case, over the years, he had done a lot for Murong, but in Murong's heart, he was just a wallflower who needed to be wary of, or even a traitor.
No one else would be comfortable.
"Brother Liang!" Yu Wenxin was discussing the situation outside the east gate with Wei Yuancheng. When he saw Liang Qucong approaching, he immediately strode forward to greet him, "I'm Yu Wenxin, is Brother Liang injured?"
Yu Wenxin?!
Liang Qucong was shocked. He didn't expect that Yu Wenxin would come out in person. Except for a few generals covered in blood who had just returned from the front to report on their work, there were not even a few personal guards around him. Obviously
He was not wary of himself at all, and he was directly concerned about his injuries when he opened his mouth. This made Liang Qucong feel like tears were filling her eyes.
This was a level of trust and care that I had never felt in all the years I had worked under the Murong clan of Tuyuhun, and it also came from the supreme command of the Han Dynasty.
At the same time, saying "Brother Liang" not only avoided Liang Qucong's embarrassment of not being recognized by the Han Dynasty as a famous king of Tuyuhun, but also directly drew closer to Liang Qucong, making Liang Qucong listen and feel in his heart
There was no dissatisfaction, there was even a feeling of intimacy.
Of course, if you are moved, you will be moved, and if you are interested, you will be benefited.
Liang Qucong is a local tycoon, and naturally he will not let his personal emotions affect his efforts to fight for his own interests.
After smiling and saying that his injury was fine, Liang Qucong greeted Wei Yuancheng and others one by one, and then said with concern: "There are soldiers and horses gathering outside the city. I'm afraid Murong will not give up. The attack on the city should be soon, general.
How do you plan to respond?”
Eyes suddenly fell on Yu Wenxin.
After all, how can we defend this city now?
If you can't hold on, you'll both be destroyed?
Yu Wenxin immediately looked at Wei Yuancheng. Wei Yuancheng took a step forward. Everyone present had a higher official rank than him, and he did not dare to lose his courtesy: "The last general led the cavalry into the city on the order of the Duke of Jin, in order to inform
Everyone, the Duke of Jin’s battle plan requires your full cooperation.”
At this time, both Shi Wansui, Xiao Xun and other Han civil and military officials, as well as Liang Qucong and the other tribal chiefs who had just surrendered, all cheered up.
