Great Han Empire

Chapter 66 Yanzhao Fengyun
"Look at the city tower." Yan Rou pointed to Yuyang City and said to Yan Wuwei: "On our side of the city wall, our battle flags are gone, and all the flags flying are the battle flags of the barbarians. For a while, the south gate of Yuyang City is about to fall. That is to say, almost all our soldiers defending the south gate have been killed. There are 4000 people in Yuyang City, and at least 2000 troops at the south gate. According to conventional calculations, In a siege battle, the loss ratio of the two sides is generally about five to one. But for the heroic Hu people, this calculation should be halved. So I said that if all 4000 of our army were killed, the Hu people would have to pay at least The price of [-] people."

Yan Wuwei suddenly realized, and nodded in conviction.In his heart, he admired this horse thief who was once rampant on the prairie, just like himself.No wonder this kid is wanted even if he is no longer a horse thief.

"The army of Xianbei people in front of us is still in order and stable, which shows that the losses of the siege troops are still within their tolerable range. Besides, our army is still holding on to the city wall and has not abandoned the south gate. This Can you prove from the negative that the enemy's losses are not as much as Lord Yan said?" Zheng Xin, who has been silent all this time, said on the side.

"I don't agree with Ziyu's opinion. It is better for our army to repel the enemy and temporarily lift the siege of Yuyang City by the Xianbei people. This risk cannot be taken. Once the enemy cannot be eaten, it will be deadlocked on the battlefield with the opponent. As long as Xiong Ba's troops rush over from the east gate, we will be the ones who will be surrounded and wiped out." Xian Yufu said resolutely.

Yan Rou stared unconvinced, and opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by Li Hong.

"Brother Ziyu, Brother Yuxing's idea is right. It is really not suitable to take risks at this time, and the first goal is to make a surprise attack. Hear what I think."

"The bow and arrow troops of the Xianbei people are at the forefront of their entire formation. No matter whether we use a line or a geese formation, we cannot deal a devastating blow to them. But when we turn around for a second attack, the enemy's bow and arrow troops may Quickly reorganize and shoot violently at our flanks, which will cause heavy casualties to our flanks."

"So, I plan to launch an attack from the enemy's flank with a diamond formation. The left wing of the diamond formation is the main striker, attacking the bow and arrow troops of the Xianbei people. They must be scattered and defeated to prevent them from organizing an effective counterattack. Seriously injured Our army. I lead the scout camp, 200 people in the rear guard camp in the front, 600 people in the Zuo Qu of the Yujun Marquis in the middle, and [-] riders in the rear Qu of Brother Yu Xing.

"The center of the rhombus array is also used as the main attack. Brother Ziyu's front line has 600 people in the front, and Zhao Junhou's middle line has 600 people behind. The enemy's fresh troops preparing to attack the city are concentrated here. Their defensive and counterattack capabilities They are the most vicious, so the attack in the middle is the most dangerous."

"The right wing of the rhombus array is an auxiliary attack. The siege troops that the Xianbei retreated to rest are all here. They should be some exhausted troops who can't fight any more. Once we start a surprise attack, we are the first to flee in fear and destroy the enemy's overall defensive formation. The gap is here. The main purpose of our army is to disperse them and annihilate them as much as possible on the basis of dispersal. Beard's right-handed 600 men undertake this task."

"Do you have any different opinions and opinions?" Li Hong asked.Everyone shook their heads unanimously.Li Hong's attack method is simple and applicable, with clear purpose and impeccable.

"Do you all know what you are doing?" Li Hong asked again, "I don't know, I can explain it again."

Seeing that everyone was excited and eager to try, Li Hong immediately smiled and waved: "Go back and regroup. Let's go."

Tian Zhong and Zheng Xin's scouts quickly stepped forward with his guards, and they lined up neatly behind Li Hong's horses.

The messengers were running around in the night, the tension and busyness before the great war came.

Li Hong looked back at Tian Zhong with a solemn face, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: This veteran will definitely get his wish and die in battle with him in the future.

Tian Zhong smiled at him, took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, and put it on the bow.

Li Hong kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and the black panther was in pain, and with a long hiss, he galloped out first.Zheng Xin and Tian Zhong led their respective teams to keep up.

Yushi lashed the horse with a whip, and led Benqu's men and horses to move.At the same time, Yan Rou's troops in the middle also set off simultaneously.

The troops of Xian Yufu, Zhao Wen, and Hu Zi were basically in the same line, and then their cavalry slowly sank into the boundless darkness.

Li Hong's heart is like still water.His whole body was lying on the panther's back, his body heaving up and down rhythmically with the panther's soaring.He closed his eyes, let the strong wind blow his face, and enjoyed the fun of running freely.

It was getting closer and closer to Yuyang City.

Soldiers can clearly hear the shouts and screams on the battlefield, the clash of swords and guns, the sound of horns and drums below the city; they can clearly distinguish the smell of blood floating in the air, The scorched smell after burning the trees, and the tragedy and pain that permeated the battlefield.

Murong Ji was very excited. He sat on the horse, full of energy, and felt that his ability was no worse than Murong Feng.Murong Feng did not take down Lulongsai, but he, Murongji, did take down Yuyang City.

Seeing that the overall situation on the west wall had been settled, he finally showed a smug smile on his face.Immediately, he prepared to send a reserve force to reinforce the Sui tribe in the city gate tower.At this moment, the horse he was sitting on jumped up and down in a panic. Murong Ji was inattentive and almost fell off the horse.Immediately afterwards, more war horses were uncharacteristically, or raised their heads and neighed, or moved their hooves, or shook their heads and tails.

Murong Jifeng looked around vigilantly, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.

Li Hong slowly sat up straight from the horse, and took the steel gun in his hand.

He seemed to have absorbed some power from the steel gun, and suddenly he seemed to be a different person, full of murderous aura all over his body.

He roared loudly: "Blow the horn, go full speed..."

On the battlefield, the Han army mainly used semaphore and war drums and golden gongs to command the troops to change formations and advance and retreat.Li Hong believes that the flag language is silent, how many people will look up at the command flag behind them when they are free on the battlefield of fierce fighting, and soldiers fighting at night cannot see the flag, lacking flexibility.Although war drums and golden gongs are good, they are not convenient for cavalry to carry and use compared to horn horns.Only the horns of the barbarians are suitable for cavalry.Regardless of their size, they can be hung around the neck or waist, and they can ride on high-speed horses at the first time and issue orders.So Li Hong insisted on using the bullhorn in the cavalry.

The sound of a huge bull horn suddenly tore through the dark scene and went straight into the sky.

Murong Ji stared wide-eyed, staring into the depths of the darkness in surprise.

He didn't know which force it was and why it suddenly appeared here.But he is familiar with the oxhorn, which is the sound of a pure oxhorn.So, like all Xianbei soldiers, he intuitively thought that this was his reinforcement.

The sound of horseshoes running like thunder became clearer and louder, and finally turned into a roar.

Li Hong turned his head and saw that the cavalry army was divided into three huge torrents, with morale like a rainbow, sweeping towards the Xianbei army overwhelmingly.

All of a sudden, he felt his whole body was boiling with passion, and a wave of pride spewed out from his heart, so excited that he wished he could leap away with the galloping horse.

Holding the steel gun high, he roared with all his strength: "Accelerate...accelerate..."

The sound of the huge bullhorn came from the depths of the darkness again, and accompanied by the roar of the galloping horses, the atmosphere of tension and fear instantly enveloped the hearts of every soldier in the city, and the mysterious and terrifying sense of fright made them almost suffocate up.

He was already very close to his own army, and he was still blowing the charge. If it wasn't an enemy, it would be hell.Even the troops of the Xianbei are the troops of their own enemies.Murong Ji's complexion changed drastically, and he roared hoarsely: "Arrange defense, deploy defense, enemy surprise attack, surprise attack..."

Before his shout fell, the horn soldiers around had already sounded the alarm horn, and the rapid and low sound of the horn sounded all over the battlefield in an instant.

The soldiers were at a loss, not knowing what was going on.Although the roar of the galloping horses has covered all the sounds on the battlefield, and although the hearts of the soldiers are tightly oppressed by the unknown forces in the depths of the darkness, they still subconsciously make quick decisions under the command of the siren. To meet the enemy's reaction.

However, Murong Ji and his subordinates immediately knew that all this was futile.

One person and one rider suddenly flew out of the darkness, their flowing long hair dancing wildly with the wind.

Li Hong brandished his long spear and shouted loudly: "For my big man, kill..."

Tian Zhong, Zheng Xin, Lei Zi, and the horn soldiers responded in unison: "Kill..."

The sound of killing suddenly resounded, shaking the entire dark night.More cavalry soldiers heard the shout, and they followed behind with all their strength and shouted: "Kill..."

The big man's iron cavalry was like a ghost in the dark night. Amidst the roar of killing, he suddenly rushed out of the thick darkness.They were like a flood that broke through the embankment, whistling, roaring, and roaring all the way, carrying the wind and thunder all over the sky, and with a thunderous momentum, they rushed towards the Xianbei army with a thunderous momentum.

On the city wall, Murong Feng led hundreds of assault fighters forward with difficulty and bloody.The soldiers on both sides had become ferocious beasts, tangled together, tearing at each other, hacking with knives, hacking with axes, poking with spears, and biting with their teeth.On the top of the city wall, which was only a few tens of steps away, there was already a thick layer of corpses, and blood accumulated on the ground and began to trickle down the stone steps.They only hear the enemy's screams in their ears, and only see the enemy's body in their eyes. Nothing is more important to them than killing each other.

Murong Feng was slashed several times, and his body was dripping with blood.Several guards pulled him out from the pile of dead people.He lay prone on the city wall, opened his mouth wide with difficulty, panting heavily.Immediately he saw the cavalry army galloping out of the darkness.He yelled in despair, but what came out of his throat was a barely human whimper.

Murong Jin stood on the left wing of the army and commanded.He stared dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes.Did the support army of the Han people emerge from the ground?

Murong invaded almost nervously shouted: "The bow and arrow are ready..."

Behind him there are no archers, no spearmen.Because it was a siege, the archers were all transferred from their respective troops and concentrated under the city wall.During the siege of the city, the spearmen used their battle knives and battle axes to act as the front army of the assault force.Behind him, besides his own bodyguards, were swordsmen and axemen, who were preparing for the next group of reserve teams to kill the tower.He can only choose to retreat, and he retreats alone.
