Chapter 273
So when he heard the words of the Right Xian King, the Xiongnu Khan also shouted: "Hurry! Take the opportunity to attack! The Han people's giant crossbows and catapults cannot be filled so quickly! The cavalry troops took the opportunity to lean on and shoot at the city wall to suppress them!" The Xiongnu cavalry hurriedly rushed from both wings and prepared to suppress the fire attack on the city wall through cavalry! Originally, they did not do this wrong..././The giant crossbows and catapults were indeed very troublesome to fill, and they could not form a continuous attack! After each round, it took a long time to refille them! But that was the general situation! When facing the Youzhou army, I still thought so, that was a big mistake!
The giant crossbows and catapults of Youzhou Army were also catapults. Under the guidance of Liu Bin, after the improvement of Ma Jun and others, although it was still troublesome to rush to the sky, it was indeed possible to form a continuous attack! Because they were not the kind of people who could only fire once before. The giant crossbows and catapults of the chain can attack several times in a row! And when attacking, part of the filling can be performed, saving a lot of time! The Huns' cavalry wanted to take advantage of this gap to attack, and it was simply a dead end!
When the Huns' cavalry took the opportunity to approach the city wall and were preparing to use cavalry to suppress the attack of the Youzhou army on the city wall, the giant crossbow and catapult cart of the Youzhou army were showing their power! This time, because the Huns approached the city wall, even the crossbows in the hands of the soldiers began to fire! The general crossbows of the Youzhou army were also more powerful than the bows and arrows in the hands of the Huns and the range was farther. Now they are still standing on the city wall, which has enhanced their power and increased the setting. The plan against the Huns is almost fatal!
The Huns' cavalry had just entered the city wall and when they were preparing to design, they suddenly felt that the sky was dark! The arrows shot by the Youzhou army were flying away, as if they were dark clouds pressing down on the top of the sky. The sharp crossbow arrows and fierce stones hit the Huns' cavalry, causing heavy casualties and injuries to the Huns! It also caused the Xiongs' military formation to riot! At this time, the guards led by Dian Wei went around the flank of the Huns and released the crossbow arrows together, making the Huns' military formation more chaotic!
When the Huns saw this situation, the Chanyu of the Huns couldn't help but feel bloody! These are all the elites that the Huns had finally collected over the years! Unexpectedly, they suffered such great losses in front of this inconspicuous Wuyuan City! These are all dependencies on the rise of the Xiongnu's intentions! Unexpectedly, they sacrificed so vain! The Huns had no choice for the giant crossbows and catapults on the city walls of the Youzhou army! However, seeing Dian Wei and others who had escaped just now, they actually came to join in the fun at this time, the Chanyu of the Huns was furious!
He shouted angrily: "Come here! Eliminate the cavalry of the Han dogs for me! I will make them live worse than death!" Dian Wei and others had already made the Huns very embarrassed and hated them to the core. Now they are still going to come over to make trouble, so the Huns will naturally not let them go! In addition, although Dian Wei and others have few people, if they have been letting them harassing on the flanks, it will have a great impact on the Huns' military formation! So if you want to stabilize the situation, you must first find a way to eliminate Dian Wei and others!
With the order of the Xiongnu Shanyu, more than 5,000 Hun cavalry rushed out of the Xiongnu army town and killed Dian Wei and others! The Huns had just learned about the power of Dian Wei and others, so they did not dare to be careless at the beginning. They directly dispatched five times the number of Dian Wei and others. They wanted to rely on the advantage of the number of people and eliminate Dian Wei and others as soon as possible! But is it really as easy as they imagined? Today's Youzhou Iron Cavalry almost gathered the advantages of the original three major cavalry of the Han Dynasty. In addition, Liu Bin based on the experience of some cavalry in later generations, plus the supply of a large amount of excellent equipment, Youzhou Iron Cavalry is already the most powerful in this era! The special flag advantage of the Guards is the most elite unit of Youzhou Iron Cavalry. The Huns wanted to use 5,000 people to eliminate more than 1,000 guards Iron Cavalry led by Dian Wei. It was not that easy!
Because the Youzhou Army occupied most of the horse farms of the Han Dynasty and had a large number of war horses, all the war horses of the Youzhou Army were carefully selected, especially the war horses of the Guards. Each of them was a tall horse, and the strength and speed were combined perfectly! In addition, the special weapons and armor on the Guards, if they really fought head-on, these Hun cavalry might not be opponents of Dian Wei and others! However, if they were really fought head-on, Dian Wei and others would inevitably suffer casualties! This is not what Dian Wei wanted to see!
Although the Youzhou Army is still at a disadvantage compared to the Huns, Dian Wei and others all understand that this situation is only temporary! When the reinforcements of the Youzhou Army arrive and when Liu Bin's plan begins, the Huns will definitely not be the opponent of the Youzhou Army and will definitely be beaten to pieces. The Youzhou Army will definitely win the final victory! Since the Youzhou Army will definitely win, why do they fight against the Huns head-on? You must know that the lives of the Youzhou Army are much more valuable than the lives of these Huns! It is not worth the price to match them with them! Besides, the Youzhou Army does not have to fight against the Huns head-on to win. They have a way to win these people!
So when he saw the Huns dispatching troops to teach them, Dian Wei waved his hand and greeted: "Everyone will scatter for me! Slowly greet them with crossbows! Since they want to play with us, let's accompany them!" After Dian Wei's order, more than a thousand soldiers from the guards drove their horses to disperse, and then slowly tricked these Huns and greeted them with crossbows! They had been trying to keep a certain distance from the Huns, keeping them outside the range of the Huns' bows and arrows, and at the same time, within the range of their bows and crossbows, the distance was too far and not too close, just like flying a kite, pulling these Huns to jog slowly!
The tactics that Dian Wei and others have implemented are actually some of the tactics of later Mongolian cavalry! In history, Mongolian cavalry was not only because of their combat effectiveness, but also their tactics. They are very good at killing enemies with bows and arrows while running away, and then taking the opportunity to turn defeat into victory! The glory created by Mongolian cavalry is unique in the entire history! Liu Bin wants to improve the power of his cavalry. Naturally, he will not let this go! In addition, the high rate of crossbows of the Youzhou Army is so high that he is fully qualified to use this tactic, so Liu Bin promoted this tactic in the Youzhou Army!
Dian Wei and his team began to feel depressed as soon as they used this tactic. The Hun cavalry who pursued them began to feel depressed! The Youzhou army was not far away from them, just beyond their range of bows and arrows, and they could not beat them. On the contrary, the Huns were constantly beaten! They couldn't chase and chase, and they had orders from superiors, so these Hun cavalry began to suffer! But they didn't suffer for long! Five thousand people, on the battlefield with hundreds of thousands of troops, were inconspicuous at all! Dian Wei and others did not take them seriously either. So they just cut apples, wiped out the five thousand cavalry of the Huns layer by layer!
After they wiped out the five thousand Hun cavalry, Dian Wei and the others ran to the Huns' army detector and began to harass them! In front of Wuyuan City, the Huns' attack was also repelled by the fire attack on the city wall! Seeing this situation, the Huns' Chanyu was really crazy! The frontal attack was not going well, and the flanks were constantly harassed by the opponent. How could this battle be fought? And, even the Youzhou army was too extravagant, right? The giant crossbows and projectile chariots were all strategic weapons, but they were only arranged on a large scale in some important places, and in ordinary places. It would be good to arrange one or two at most! But now, from the firepower of the Youzhou army, the giant crossbows and catapults they arranged here have far exceeded the expectations of the Huns! That number is too amazing!
Also, these giant crossbows and catapults are all consumables at high cost! Maybe the stones used for catapults are not expensive, but the crossbow arrows of those giant crossbows are money! Now the Youzhou army is open like this, and they want to use them like rain. Aren’t they afraid of wasting money? If they continue to use this, can their inventory be held back? Do they have so much money to make them squander like this? The Xiongnu Chanyu is a little unwilling to give up, but everything on the battlefield in front of him has proved that the Hungarians
If the slave wants to attack Wuyuan City, it is almost impossible before the Youzhou Army's giant crossbows and catapult carts are exhausted! But he is even more unwilling to let him retreat like this! In his opinion, the Youzhou Army is just relying on the advantages of weapons and showing off his might for a while! After their inventory is exhausted, the opportunity for the Huns will come! As long as the Huns delay this period of time, Bingzhou will be just around the corner! So although the Huns suffer heavy casualties, he does not intend to retreat!
Of course, he didn't dare to retreat! He finally established his prestige among the Huns over the years. This time, he promised the tribes that he exempted from the tribe that he would definitely get money and food to cool off from Han En, so that the Huns could live a good life. If he retreated in shame now, not only would he not have any results, but the prestige he had finally established would also disappear! Those tribes steal people are very realistic. If his prostitutes cannot bring them a lot of benefits, they will not obey their orders. Then it would be impossible for him to rebuild the Hun Empire! So even for these things, he would not retreat easily!
So, at Wuyuan City, the Huns' army formed a stalemate with the Youzhou Army! After the failure of the large-scale attack on the first day, they did not carry out a large-scale attack, but instead sent some troops to constantly provoke and harass the Youzhou Army under Wuyuan City. This would not only allow the small-scale weapons inventory of Youzhou Army, but also make the Youzhou Army uneasy, and have no way to rest well and face them with the greatest energy! They believed that there would not be too many weapons inventory in the rangeless. As long as these things were consumed, the Youzhou Army was exhausted. At that time, they were attacking and they would definitely succeed!
At the same time, they also sent many small teams to scatter and plunder food and finance near Wuyuan City. At the same time, they also planned to capture some Han prisoners and let them help them with small Han weapons inventory under Wuyuan City, so that the Han people would be worried when firing crossbow arrows and stones! The reason why the Huns did this was mainly because there were too few Huns compared to Han people, and they could not withstand large-scale consumption! At the same time, when their army left the station, they were not used to it.
They are accustomed to bringing the supply of food and grass as older as possible, they always use war to raise the war and eat on the spot! The same is true this time! In order to move south as quickly as possible, they did not bring much food and grass at all. If they did not plunder some of them, they would not be able to withstand consumption at all! At that time, maybe they would have given the weapons inventory of Youzhou Army to the small trumpet, but their supply of food and grass might also be consumed! In that case, they would still have no way to attack at that time!
In fact, this method of the Huns cannot be considered wrong strictly, because they often did this before and succeeded repeatedly! They fought against many opponents, and they achieved the final victory by relying on this method! The previous glory of the Huns was achieved through this method! But this time it was different. Their opponent was the Youzhou Army! It was the Youzhou Army led by Liu Bin, a later generation. So how could the Youzhou Army let them succeed easily?
Long before they arrived, Zhang Liao had issued an order to clear the world, migrating almost all the rural population to big cities. In the remote area, the Huns might not even find a grain of food or a figure! If you want to fight to support the war, you can't even find it.
It's just an impossible thing! If you can't catch people, let alone want to use prisoners to capture the city! As for the small trumpet without a ranged weapon inventory, Zhang Liao and the others didn't care. On the contrary, they still cooperated with their actions! There was not so much inventory without a range, but before the war broke out, Zhang Liao had decided to control the battle at the border. So the weapon inventory in many places in Bingzhou was moved to Wuyuan City for him! With these weapons inventory, Zhang Liao and the others didn't care about the small trumpet at all!
Another point is that the Huns did this. They wanted to delay time and slowly consume the weapons inventory of Youzhou Army, which happened to hit Zhang Liao and the others. The Youzhou Army originally wanted to delay time and wait for the arrival of reinforcements to let Liu Bin's plan start to be implemented, so they turned Wuyuan into a big turtle shell and delayed the footsteps of the Huns. Now the Huns actually cooperated with their plans automatically, so Zhang Liao and the others were happy to see it! For the Youzhou Army, what they need most now is time. As long as you give the reinforcements some time, the Youzhou Army is sure to win! As for some weapons and equipment, the Youzhou Army did not take it seriously at all.
!Youzhou has no other things, but it's a lot of money! There are so many arsenals in Youzhou, and they have always produced various weapons and equipment in a short time. Warehouses in various parts of Youzhou are already full of various weapons and equipment! Although the use of weapons by Youzhou Army is relatively expensive, they cannot consume all these inventory pressures! You should know that the battles launched by the Youzhou Army can usually end in a short time, and it is not bad at all! Although the training volume of Youzhou Army is very large in normal times, training is ultimately training, and many things can be recycled. Therefore, in Youzhou, the consumption of weapons is not as fast as the construction speed!
Now the Huns want to consume the weapons inventory of Youzhou Army through continuous consumption, which is a big joke for the Youzhou Army! On the contrary, they can also take advantage of this opportunity to scoop these Huns and use them as real targets to train the soldiers of Youzhou Army! The Huns want to play small trumpets with them, and the Youzhou Army doesn't care at all! As long as you delay this period of time, wait until the reinforcements from Youzhou arrive and when Liu Bin's plan begins to be implemented, then these Huns will be crying!
So, with the tacit cooperation between the two sides, a very delicate situation was formed under Wuyuan City! Every day, the Huns sent some troops to Wuyuan City to tease the Youzhou Army on the city wall and the small Youzhou Army's weapons inventory! But there was no large-scale attack! The Youzhou Army also cooperated with their actions. When they saw the Huns coming, they kept calling them with crossbows and catapults. A rain of arrows and stone rain would always destroy some of the Huns! Faced with the attack of the Youzhou Army, the Huns would retreat in a gray face, and then they would shoot others again to continue teasing the Youzhou Army, and the Youzhou Army continued to let them go with their gray faces! The two sides have now formed a very delicate and very balanced situation!
The Huns did not take the initiative to attack on a large scale, and the Youzhou army cooperated very well. They hid in the city and did not come out, and slowly spent time with the Huns! In between, the Youzhou army had never opened the city gate once and after they picked up Dian Wei and the others into the city, they never opened the city gate again, nor sent troops to fight with the Huns! The Youzhou army also ignored the food sent by the Huns and the small troops that captured civilians! Because they knew that within a hundred miles around, the Huns could not even find much food or people! Even if they caught some people from relatively remote places and plundered some food that the Youzhou army did not notice, it would not have much effect! The things they got were probably not enough to consume enough of their normal consumption! Just based on these alone, it was like threatening the Youzhou army, which was impossible! So Zhang Lai and they didn't care at all!
Chapter completed!
