Chapter 386 Yimou (1)
Speaking of this, the lieutenant knew that the situation was not good. If the Hu people changed to attack the fort, the war would be launched in full swing with the Han army's defensive positions. Although this matter was something that the Han soldiers were looking forward to day and night, it was not a trivial matter, after all, there were many enemy troops.
"Yes! The subordinate will do it now, and the general should be careful." The captain left without dragging his horse.
Arrows and stones flew together, and the sound of killing was rolling. The Hu army infantry and cavalry all over the field rushed to the East Fort like a flood. The defenders in the fort resisted and attacked the enemy fiercely. However, the flood did not stay in the East Fort for a long time. More Hu troops crossed the East Fort and continued to attack the various forts inside! The arrows and stones fell, and Gao Heng led four or five hundred soldiers to quietly watch the battlefield, trembling with fear.
"Let's go, report back to the general! It seems that Hu Gou wants to cut off the connection between our army and the direction of Leling!" Gao Heng saw it clearly. The fighting spirit and posture of the Hu people were absolutely true. There were three or four docks in the East Fort cut south. The Hu people attacked all docks in this range at the same time, obviously to cut off the connection between the plain and the direction of Leling.
Leling and Pingyuan are connected together, and with the fort guarding, it can be said to be one of the food routes of the Han army and one of the ways for reinforcements. If it is cut off by heavy troops of the Hu people, the Pingyuan defenders will lose one arm.
The Han army turned around and wanted to retreat, but they didn't want to suddenly turn two or three hundred cavalry out behind them. A Hu general said in surprise: "There are really rats peeping here. Grandpa, I'm going to take it down!" With an order, two or three hundred cavalry came to kill the horses, and the cavalry in the back row even took the lead in cavalry!
The strong arrows came towards us, and the Han army avoided the left and right with a stern expression. More than a hundred crossbowmen quickly turned over the crossbow and shot. The rest of them formed a formation with guns and spears in their hands to resist the impact.
The Han soldiers holding a spear watched the iron cavalry approaching, and had already been hit by several arrows. They gritted their teeth and turned their teeth and collapsed on the ground with the rapid loss of blood. The iron cavalry rushed into the crowd. The square formation composed of more than a hundred people could only kill and kill five or six cavalry, and they could not withstand the huge force of the iron cavalry's impact, and collapsed with a loud bang!
"Hahahaha, kill it! Kill it all for me!" The Hu man was very happy when he saw that the Han army was vulnerable and laughed endlessly.
At this moment, the Han army was like overflowing pool water, and the Hu cavalry chased and killed each other. Only more than a hundred crossbowmen shot hard, shooting down forty or fifty cavalry.
"Hmph!" The Hu general glared at his eyes and was very angry. How precious the cavalry was. When he encountered a whistle, he lost 20% of his manpower. When he returned to the army, he would not be scolded by others as a wine bag?!
Blood sprinkled on the ground, and everyone suddenly realized in surprise. But it was too late to stop the four or five Han cavalry from breaking the edge. The Han general led the army even killed the Hu general with one sword!
"Gao Heng is here, will Hu Gou dare to fight?" Gao Heng had only four cavalry followers. From the beginning of the war, he took advantage of the chaos to avoid the main battlefield under the cover of everyone, and then turned back from the diagonal thorn. All the more than ten Hu horses who were chasing Gao Heng were killed by swords and spears. The main general was very excited to see the results of the battle, but he ignored the flanks, and it was not unfair to die.
The main general was killed, and the Hu Knight's morale plummeted. He was reluctant to fight and retreated one after another. Gao Heng did not dare to stop and led the remaining 200 people to rush to the nearest fort!
The sound of horse hooves was coming, and the shouts of the Hu people were getting closer and closer. The Han army still struggled to escape the pursuit...
...
Within the Hu army camp, Murong Ting and General Liu Cong of the Cavalry were still sitting in the military tent and discussing endlessly.
"How can General Cheqi and Cavalry conclude that the Han people will choose to fight this time?" Murong Wei asked calmly and calmly.
Liu Cong is naturally not as old as Murong Ting, but he has an arrogant aura in front of Murong Ting's generation, which makes Murong Ting only compete with him.
"Simple, the previous besiege of the outer castles was only to be itchy with the boots. Lelingdao was a pseudo-Han arm. How could he not fight back if he cut off his arms?"
Murong Wei did not continue to ask, and the answer was already very obvious. If the Han army did not leave the Hu army, they could cut off the connection between the plain and the Gaotang as usual, thereby gradually isolating the Han army in each area.
"Leling Road is headed by the East Fort, and you need to break the four docks all the way south. Our army will only break the force in a blink of an eye. However, if this route is 10% of the way, it is still a question whether it can gain a foothold when it is attacked by the three cities in the northeast of the plain, as well as the three sides of the Leling, Plain, and the three sides, it is still a question of whether it can gain a foothold!" After thinking for a while, Murong Jie continued.
Liu Cong sat upright, his expression was as usual, and his every move was as clear as a bamboo. He laughed and said, "Simplely, send the two armies to lie in Ande, and close to Xiping County. When Gou Lingdao rushed his army south, he attacked his city. The enemy advanced and we went forward, and the enemy retreated and we retreated. In this way, the Han army in these three cities could not move."
"The Han troops in Leling are of great strength, so what are the strategies for the generals of chariots and cavalry to respond to the enemy?" Murong Wei asked after hearing what Liu Cong had made appropriate plans.
Liu Cong put down the cup in his hand, glanced at Murong Ling and said, "It took less than half a month for the Han people to get to Leling. All our troops have long been eyeing the border of the army. We only need to divide 20,000 troops to block the front line of the road they must pass, and only defend but not attack. In this way, the Han people dare not defeat Leling's entire army to fight to advance, and it is difficult to quickly defeat our defenders. Why are the Han people afraid of this?"
Murong Wei nodded slightly. If it was said that the Han army was using strange soldiers to restrain Gou Xi, then the Han army that blocked Leling's side would be the main soldiers. There were various Hu army confronting him outside Leling. Not to mention how many troops could be drawn. Even if the Han army had 50,000 troops, it would take a certain amount of time to defeat the 20,000 Hu army, which was only defending but not attacking, it would take a certain amount of time.
When the Hu army could not stop it, the battle on the plains had already ended. What can the Han army in Leling come?
"How should Zu Ge, Yuan Yan, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and General of the Cavalry?" Murong asked again. The plan he had set up before was said to be scratching his head by Liu Cong, but now it has been set up by Liu Cong. Of course, he has to ask clearly and take a closer look. Thinking of this, Murong's eyes were soaring, staring at Liu Cong's eyes!
The Hu people who showed off their power were far away, and they were too far away, and could only be seen from the watchtower. The Han army was not surprised by this, and accepted the provocation of the Hu people with a calm expression. Strategically, the Han army adopted a choice with the lowest loss, and used a defensive attitude to consume the food and grass of the Hu people.
According to past and recent information, the Hu people mobilized almost all their troops to attack the Han army's defense line on all fronts, with the purpose of forcing the Han army to fight to the decisive battle. The fundamental reason is that the food and grass of the Hu people may not last forty days. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and 100,000 war horses may not be able to be supplied for much longer even in the Central Plains today. Forty days does not include the journey of these troops going south from outside the border. Obviously, the Hu people have a heavier burden than they imagined.
For several days, the Hu army had only besieged the fort on the edge of the border, trying to lure the Han army to rescue. However, the Han soldiers in the fort resisted desperately, and the main force of the Han army in Pingyuan City did not move at all!
"It's useless to see. Shiwu is no longer able to do it. Zhongpingwu is going to finish it..." A Han soldier who looked like a captain came to the watchtower and saw that several officers in the fort were still besieged in Zhongpingwu for two days. He advised dejectedly.
"Why are the soldiers of the Zushou and Yuan Shuai still not moving? It's only five miles away, so it's too late to kill them back and forth!" A big man said with grief and anger. Everyone sighed and shook their heads when they saw it. The man's brothers played in Zhongpingwu. The strategy of the army had already been explained. The man himself understood, but whenever he looked away, he could not overcome the hurdle in his heart.
The captain walked up to pat the man on the shoulder and comforted him: "There is no way for the brothers in front of him to be able to withdraw. Alas, for the safety of more than 100,000 brothers, this is the only way."
The man actually understood the truth, but it was difficult to control his emotions. Once the docks on the periphery were withdrawn, the docks on the inner floor were exposed to the firepower of the Hu people. Unless all the defenders of the forts were removed, someone would always sacrifice themselves on the front line. In the past few days, the food and supplies from the rear were transported day and night, to compete with the Hu people for time.
Before the money and grain meet the storage requirements, the periphery can only defend and grit their teeth to defend. Even if they die in battle without help, they must survive!
"Huh? Sir, look, the Hu people are moving towards the East Fort!" The soldiers on the side saw the Eastern dust making, and the rolling smoke and dust rolled towards another fort, exclaiming. The captain and the man were immersed in sadness, and they were stunned when they looked up and saw it!
"Hurry! Tell us about the military situation quickly, the enemy situation has changed!!" The captain responded quickly and shouted hurriedly.
The fast horse that sent a message ran away without stopping. The fort was only fifteen miles away from the plain. I believe that the military orders from the rear could be sent back within a quarter of an hour.
"The East Fort is located in the inside line. Has the Hu people changed their strategy?" The Han general Gao Heng, who led the army to inspect, was also watching the scene on other forts at this moment, and he couldn't help but start to talk to himself.
"Let's go and see!" Gao Heng shouted for a long time, leading four or five hundred Han soldiers to the east fort, preparing to observe the Hu people's dynamics up close.
Hundreds of people hurriedly passed by the fort, and the captain inside hurriedly left the fort and chased after him, "The enemy is powerful, where does the general want to go?"
Gao Heng looked at the direction of the East Fort and looked like a dip in the water: "You go back to the fort and do your best to rectify your defense. The wolf smoke conveys military information. I will go back as soon as I look, I am afraid that the Hu people will pull out our fort."
Speaking of this, the lieutenant knew that the situation was not good. If the Hu people changed to attack the fort, the war would be launched in full swing with the Han army's defensive positions. Although this matter was something that the Han soldiers were looking forward to day and night, it was not a trivial matter, after all, there were many enemy troops.
