Murong Fuyun was very organized when he first retreated.
After breaking off the horse and foot, put the baggage in front and slowly retreat.
The Han army's repeated attacks failed to achieve good results. Watching the enemy's various units come and go for support, they could only retreat in embarrassment.
However, taking the initiative to attack did not bring any benefits. The Han army simply followed closely behind you. As long as you found an opening, they would immediately pounce on you and take a bite.
Typical wolf hunting tactics.
Murong Fuyun could only complain, you are a good Han people and a good farming people, why do you have nothing to do with the same way as the people on our grasslands?
The Han army's style of play obviously put a lot of pressure on Tuyuhun's troops.
After all, the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses don't want to fight anymore, they just want to run away.
The faster you run, the harder the enemy chases you.
In the past, the retreat of Tuyuhun's forwards was very organized. Later, as the Han army's attacks became more and more frequent, gradually the elite infantry and cavalry with better physical strength were already in the front, while the baggage team and many weak infantry fell behind.
.
This is the result Pei Zilie wants.
The Tuyuhun army was originally composed of many tribes. The most distinctive feature is that when fighting with the wind, each one fights tooth and nail, and when fighting against the wind, each one runs faster than the other.
So they might be able to maintain their original formation at first, but when they really start running, who will care about the baggage troops and wounded soldiers who are lagging behind? Let's escape first.
Especially when they retreated all the way from the river to Zhangye, even though these Tuyuhun soldiers and horses were elite, their morale had dropped to the bottom of the valley.
Escape is the only important thing to them.
"This Sima Yongzhi is quite a good seedling." Pei Zilie stood on a hillside some distance away from Zhangye, raised his clairvoyance and looked forward. Although he couldn't see Zhangye City, he could at least see Sima Yongzhi.
While chasing Tuyuhun soldiers and horses, the baggage teams that were lagging behind all raised white flags one after another. Apparently they had lost the courage to confront this guy head-on.
Li Xun stood nearby and smiled: "In the previous battle of Hedong, this boy performed well. The Taiwei once personally moved his name forward in the merit book."
"You guys are open-minded." Pei Zilie couldn't help but smile.
Li Xun was born in the Li family in Longxi. The boss of the Li family in Longxi, Li Mu, was on Yang Jian's side from the beginning. Sima Yongzhi, as the son of Sima Xiaonan, was from Yu Wenxian's side, so the two sides should have been hostile to each other.
That's right, Li Xun opened his mouth to praise, which surprised Pei Zilie.
Li Xun couldn't help but cupped his hands toward the southeast: "The past is all ashes. The generals and others are now ministers of the Han Dynasty. They should fight side by side for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Why is there any need to discuss the past?"
After a pause, Li Xun couldn't help but joked: "What's more, when it comes to contradictions and conflicts, we were just competing for power with each other at the beginning. How can we compare with the conflicts with the big man at that time? Thanks to Your Majesty for not giving up,
How can we still keep our past grievances in our hearts if we can raise some points and entrust them with important responsibilities?"
No matter how sharp the internal conflicts between the civil and military officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were, even to the point where the two sides separated, they were still under the command of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, this conflict was not comparable to the conflict between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
Now that they have all become Hanchen, what else can they not let go of?
After saying this, Li Xun restrained his smile and lowered his head slightly.
Although these words make it clear that the other party is taking out someone's heart, it will inevitably remind people of the origins of Li Xun and others and the fact that they are now in a group.
After all, this is a hurdle that it is difficult for this generation to completely overcome.
Pei Zilie couldn't help laughing and patted Li Xun on the shoulder:
"There's no need to be nervous, I know it in my heart."
Li Xun nodded.
Pei Zilie was making it clear that as a subordinate of Long Yuanrong, he naturally knew that they were sincerely fighting for the Han Dynasty, so even if they had to stay together due to pressure from other groups in the court, Pei Zilie would not say anything more.
.
At least he won't speak from a southern civil and military standpoint just because he was born in the southeast.
People always have to work hard to make their own path easier, and there is nothing wrong with sticking together for warmth. As long as it doesn't go to the point of forming cliques for selfish purposes, it can be tolerated.
"Let's go, there's still a big battle waiting for us ahead."
"This is the last battle." Li Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.
Starting from the rescue of the northwest, the various departments of the Han Dynasty were almost non-stop. This should also be the most urgent and least prepared battle that Li Xun had ever fought. Even before the war, many Han generals even asked how many troops and horses Tuyuhun had.
I don’t know which generals there are, let alone what tactics the opponent is used to.
Therefore, the reason why this battle can develop smoothly to this point can only be said to be because the big man has enough firearms, so he can defeat hundreds of tricks at once. No matter what tricks you have, you can't beat the firearms anyway.
Secondly, it was because Tuyuhun had been stuck in his ways before and had no understanding of the Han's firearms and some new combat ideas. As a result, he continued to suffer losses on the battlefield.
If Yu Wenxian were here instead, with so many soldiers and horses, Li Xun would really get chills in his back. I'm afraid this guy is capable of fighting all the way to Anding City.
That's right... It was already a shame for the Han army to be able to fight to the foot of Anding City.
Pei Zilie paused and laughed: "Maybe this is just the beginning."
Li Xun also smiled.
That's right, conquering the Western Regions and opening up new territories may start from here!
How proud of it.
————————————-
On the wall of Zhangye City, the Han soldiers persevered hard and looked forward to seeing through.
To the east of Zhangye City, red flags jumped out of the horizon one after another, turning into a surging red wave in the blink of an eye.
The blue dragons seemed to come alive as the flag danced. The dancing dragon claws shone with cold light, and the dragon's mouth seemed to be able to swallow the sky and the earth.
The main force of the Han army arrived quickly, and the team deployed quickly, heading north to block Murong Chezhong's troops who were trying to rescue the camp on the east side, and heading south to enter the city from the south gate in a roundabout way. The middle road with the largest number of troops simply stopped them.
Crash into the enemy's outer defense line at the east gate.
Before the Han army arrived, Tuyuhun troops and horses had already made adjustments.
Murong Shifu, who had originally retreated to Murongche's heavy camp in the northeast of the city, has returned to the east camp and led people to repair the camp that was destroyed yesterday, intending to rely on the camp to hold on. After all, once the troops are pulled out, they are likely to attract people in the city
of pincer attack.
Moreover, the main force of the enemy army came from the east and was destined to launch the main attack on the east side. Murong Shifu simply did not have the courage to fight to the death with the main force of the Han army outside the camp.
However, it was impossible to simply defend. Murong Chezhong led his army to fight in the northeast. At the same time, Murong Fuyun's defeated troops were pulled directly to the southeast of the city and also formed a stronghold to defend themselves. In addition, there were also Murong Xiaojun's troops.
He was directly on the back of Murong's truck, ready to respond.
