Chapter 33 The Battle of the City (4)

The war horses of the Han army were just ordinary war horses. They did not have the super long endurance of Hu horses and the courage of northern horses, so Wang Ze would buy the Hu people's war horses at a high price because he was simply vulnerable when facing the cavalry of Zhenbei Army.

During this trip, Cao Jian brought 500 cavalry. Wang Ze didn't have many cavalry under him, and he suffered heavy losses on the northern battlefield. It was good to be able to squeeze out 500 cavalry.

Five hundred cavalry quickly rushed out of Cao Fang's camp, followed by a thousand sword-armored soldiers. At this time, Cao Fang had sent nearly half of his troops to attack the city.

At the beginning of the attack, the two thousand sword armored soldiers who had paid nearly half of the price, saw their cavalry troops and made way to the side, freeing up enough space for them.

“Driving…Driving…”

Horses stroll on dust, yellow sand is everywhere in the sky.

From a distance, it looks like a hurricane hitting my face.

On the city wall, the archers of the Xuelong Army were already numb at this time. In this short period of time, they shot many bows and arrows, and their hands were almost cramped.

"Military advisor, no, their cavalry is here." Xu Miaozhu was shocked when she saw this.

Zhao Dahu also frowned. At this time, if the cavalry opened up the road, the sword armored soldiers would approach the city wall. At that time, as soon as the ladder siege car was on, the battle would be at its last moment.

"The archers continue to shoot, mainly blocking their sword-armored soldiers." Su Mingda shouted: "Others, fight the logs and pour tung oil on them."

Following the orders, many soldiers immediately went to execute the orders.

At this time, the casualties of the Xuelong Army were actually quite serious. After all, they only had more than 1,000 people, and many soldiers were only slightly injured, so they did not go down to the city wall and continued to fight.

Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, less than 100 meters away from the city wall.

Sudden.

On the city wall, logs were pushed down.

When they fell off the city wall, they rolled forward for a while.

Seeing this, Cao Fang in the distance frowned. He really couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do.

Before the cavalry reached the city wall, they threw the logs. Could it be that the soldiers threw them in advance? But it was not. So many logs were brought down together, and it must have been ordered by the general. What kind of conspiracy is there?

Just when Cao Fang was puzzled.

A fiery red light flashed in the corners of his eyes.

"Not good, it's fire attack."

I saw rockets heading towards the log in the sky.

The log that was hit burned instantly, and the fire was huge.

Many logs were piled up together, and the burning flames were more than one person tall, just blocking the momentum of the war horse rushing forward.

"Wow, wow..."

The five hundred cavalry stopped instantly and collided together, and they turned the person they had hit on their backs.

It was not the cavalry that wanted to stop, but the horse that stopped by itself.

The sword-armored soldiers behind also rushed over, and saw the fire, they didn't dare to get closer.

"Dong, dun, dun..."

At this time, the sound of war drums sounded from the Han army camp.

When all the Han army heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and retreated desperately.

In this way, the first collision ended, and both sides paid the price of blood.

Seeing the Han army retreating, Xuelongjun on the city wall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his face was full of smiles, and they all fell weakly to the ground.

Tired, so tired.

Zhao Dahu and Xu Miaozhu were also very happy in their eyes. With these thousand people, they finally blocked the attack of 10,000 Han troops, which was unprecedented.

Of course they all knew that it was their Xuelong Army military advisor's plan to defeat all this.

At the same time, they looked at Su Mingda with respect.

At this time, Su Mingda was soaked in sweat. He was more afraid that he could not defend this city than anyone else. After all, when Qin Dali left, he handed over Hefeng Town to him.

Seeing the Han army retreating, the tight strings of his body suddenly loosened and he almost couldn't stand firm. Fortunately, Zhao Dahu stepped forward to support him.

"Military advisor, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Su Mingda shook his head and said, "Hurry up and handle the matter here, let the brothers rest, and the wounded will hurry up and go to treat."

"Military advisor, don't worry, leave this matter to me." As he said that, Xu Miaozhu left directly.

"General Zhao, we have resisted this battle, but the Han army's next attack is the top priority. We don't have many arrow feathers and bamboo guns anymore. We probably can still hold on to such a battle."

"The logs were all used to play just now. When the Han army was rushing up, you should throw all the stones down and you must hold on until dark." Su Mingda quietly ordered.

"As soon as it gets dark, the Han army will definitely withdraw, and we will have a turnaround at that time."

"Don't worry, military advisor, I understand." Zhao Dahu nodded and said, "Military advisor, I'll let you help you down and rest first."

Su Mingda nodded. This battle consumed too much energy. This was the first time that he truly reflected the value of a military advisor, so he paid extraordinary attention.

At this moment, a noisy sound came from the side.

"Child, have something to eat."

"Child, this steamed bun is still hot, just eat some."

“…”

I saw that many ordinary people walked up with steaming steamed buns that had just been prepared and steamed, and gave them to the soldiers guarding the city one by one.

However, the Xuelong Army is disciplined and cannot take every needle or thread from the common people, so they swallowed their saliva and wanted to eat it, but none of them could take it.

In this regard, their new recruits do better than veterans. The veterans were bandit refugees and had some bad habits, while the new recruits were all peasant children in Hefeng Town.

Seeing this, the common people became anxious. One of the old men saw Zhao Dahu and the others and hurried over and said, "General, please let these children eat something."

As he said that, the old man knelt down.

Zhao Dahu and Su Mingda hurriedly stepped forward and helped them up: "Master, this is not something you can do."

"General, you can do it, let the children eat some. You originally gave this food, but now you give it to you, this is not considered to be the things of our people." The old man also knew the rules of Xue Longjun and quickly explained.

"Yes, General, please let the soldiers have some food."

"General..."

The many people behind him were willing to seek the truth.

Seeing this, Zhao Dahu turned his head and looked at Su Mingda and said, "Friends, I thank you on behalf of Xue Longjun."

"Brothers, eat, I've had enough food and drink. Those bastards cleaned their necks and waited for us to chop them. We can't lose the strength, and we can't even cut our heads by then."

"Ha ha……"

The soldiers of the Xuelong Army burst into laughter when they heard this.

When the general heard the general speak, the common people hurriedly delivered the steamed buns in their hands to the soldiers, and there were bowls of porridge.
