Chapter 373: Liaocheng Down (Part 2)
The sound of killing was stirred up in all fields, and the Hu army besieged from all sides. Liu Yuan's main force of the Hu army was already angry by the attitude of the Han army. After losing two hundred cavalry, he immediately launched an offensive, like a surging wave, and his target was the first Han army camp.
Qu Te responded calmly and commanded continuously on the camp. The Han army in the camp each struggled to strike up the crossbow and spear to defend their camp. The Hu army rushed very fast and bravely, and the shield player could often rush around the carriage outside the camp, and then the Hu people flashed out of his back and rushed forward like a desperate attempt.
Some people threw an axe and slashed the defenders in the camp, some bent their bows and arrows to shoot Han soldiers at close range, and some even wielded their spears and Da Shuo suddenly rushed into the car and stood up to fight!
The defenders in the camp were fully focused on dealing with the current offensive, fighting with their teeth and fighting with their lives. The offensive and defensive sides were vigorous in fighting and were hard to distinguish. After rapid consumption, they entered the tug-of-war at the fastest speed. The Hu army was strong in the army, and it was not easy for the Han army to repel the opponent's offensive, so the battle situation was stalemate and the battle was slightly better.
But when the Hu people saw this, they were angry and embarrassed. A large number of soldiers and cavalry teams were put into the battlefield in countless ways. With so many troops, they still could not quickly break through a Han camp. When will the dozen nearby Han camps be fought? Liu Yuan launched a fierce attack to sweep the Han army with thunder. If they were not satisfied, their morale would be backfired.
The casting carts kept throwing the casting carts, those Hu people on the road of rushing to run away with their heads and crying for their parents. However, there were not many casting carts in the camp, and even fewer stones. After more than a dozen rounds, they were already exhausted from ammunition and food.
Without the intimidation of the catapult, the Hu army became more courageous and had a superb offensive. After the rapid depletion of troops, the Han army was in a great momentum.
Qu Te carefully watched the battle on the camp building with his fence in his hands. Nearly 30,000 Han troops were lined up here. His own camp was second only to Zu Ti. Once he lost quickly, he would be a complete collapse!
"Set the fire!" Qu Te shouted loudly, with a firm mind.
"General... set fire!!" The deputy general next to him was shocked when he heard this. This fire attack was one of the last several attack methods. Is it appropriate to use it so early? But as soon as he said that, looking at Qu Te's face, the deputy general did not say much. The situation was urgent, so how could the Han army fight according to the plan?
The orders were passed down layer by layer. In a moment, the fires ignited outside the Han army camp, forming countless fire pillars to connect to become fire walls. The Hu army, who was in the camp bars, fought bravely. He didn't want the flames to rush to his body, and almost no time to react. Most of the armor, whose body had been lit, suddenly became burnt and rotten, and howled ghosts and wolves howled, which was very miserable.
The sudden change surprised Hu Jun, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, and the charge stopped quickly, but no one was willing to throw himself into the sea of fire and be burned to death.
The Hu soldier who had time to escape was rolling on the ground, and the flames on his body became difficult to extinguish, and even if they rolled, it would be useless. The kind-hearted soldiers came forward to help slap them, but how could they tell the wailing companions clearly? They just hugged and grabbed them. The soldiers who accidentally stepped forward were also burned by the fire, and some became part of the roaring shouting on the ground. Some were stunned and quickly slapped the fire-fighting head, but they never dared to take a step forward again.
The raging flames kept climbing higher as they swept. Hu Jun, who was closer, could clearly feel the heat of the fire, and he was a little stunned when the flames shone.
Suddenly, countless crossbow arrows came out from behind the fire wall. Hu Jun, who was standing in the front row, was immediately caught in an arrow and fell to the ground. The one behind was shocked when they saw it. However, the powerful arrows shot out in a row, which could not allow anyone to dodge and block. Rows of Hu Jun fell down. After a jingling sound, Hu Jun finally held a shield in his hand to block the Han army's shooting on the other side of the fire wall.
The crossbow arrows that fell to the ground were still carrying flames and burning their flesh. Hu Jun on the ground had lost his life and had no reaction to the burning fire on his body...
"Breaking back!!" A sharp shout woke the Hu army up, and a large number of crossbowmen were shooting at the Han camp frantically, regardless of the fire and the thick smoke, making it difficult to tell where the enemy in the camp fell to the ground.
For a moment, the sound of flames burning mixed with the sound of Zhang Gong Feiyan, forming a unique rhythm. A large number of Hu soldiers surrounded this camp, and more Hu soldiers on the outside took the opportunity to attack other Han military camps.
Duan Shefuchen, who was watching the battle at the top of the city, couldn't help but sighed: "It seems that the Han army has been destroyed like this..."
Seeing this, the Hu army nodded one after another. Liu Yuan brought back not only the main force of the Hu army, but an army of nearly 100,000! These people were enough to subdue the Han army's camp. These people were enough to make the Han army unable to hear the shouts of other camp comrades before their death. These people were almost the strongest army outside the frontier on this front!!
The war spread, and the barriers under Liaocheng were clearly distinguished and gradually became turbid.
On a hill far away, the Later Han emperor Liu Yuan stared at the battlefield with a normal expression, as if his food route was cut off and he had to withdraw his troops and return to Liaocheng was not a bad thing.
"Your Majesty is wise and has long seen through the Han people's suspicious military plan. If it weren't for this, our army's food was tight, and it would have been stymied by the Han people." The military's civil and military officials admired Liu Yuan's judgment, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was throwing his troops into the ground. The Han general Shao Xu repeatedly sent troops in the rear under the banner of Zu Ti, and looked quite good, but Liu Yuan judged that the person was definitely not Zu Ti, so he set up an ambush and defeated him.
This careful insight alone is enough to look down on the world, not to mention that Liu Yuan made a quick decision and chose the right fighter opportunity. It is not unfair to be defeated by the Han army. After all, Zu Ti was good at attacking and was determined to use troops, so how could he not even be able to defeat a single camp for two consecutive days?
Liu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Zu Ti's wandering army is outside, and cannot save the danger of the plain, nor can it resolve the siege of Gaotang, nor can it break the defense line of our army. It is my expectation that we will bet on the cutting of my food route. Our army has many iron cavalry, and we can run back and forth to occupy the advantage of the territory. If Huo Ze and others dare to move, it is a great opportunity to return to the army to break. This will be thanks to Zu Ti's children?! Hahahahaha!"
Liu Huanle also smiled and said, "Your Majesty is a brilliant idea. How can Zu Ti, and Xu Ze and others compare? Under Liaocheng, is the place where Zu Ti's children are buried!"
"Yes, Zu Ti was killed by death, and he would definitely die this time. In this way, Your Majesty should relieve his great trouble." Another civil servant was also busy echoing.
Liu Yuan smiled slightly at this. He knew that the ministers were flattering, but he was very helpful. This battle made the Han army occupy Hebei for a long time and almost consumed his own grain reserves. If he could annihilate Zu Ti's troops here, it would be a huge blow to the Han army, which would cause various Han troops to storm, so that they could fight quickly and avoid the embarrassing situation of tight food for their own troops.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan said: "Pick out the heads of Shao Xu and Han and go to Zuti Camp to call for war. I don't believe that at this time, Zuti can still not be able to hold on!"
"Yes!" One general went to do what Liu Yuan told him.
Shao Xu led more than a thousand Han troops to fight to the death and blocked Liu Yuan's 100,000 troops. The consequence of hitting the stone with eggs was that the entire army was wiped out, and many of the famous Han generals were beheaded by the Hu people.
The smaller camp began to lose its support under the fierce attack of the Hu army, and the fire outside the camp began to fade. What should the Han army, whose chariots and camps were destroyed, use to defend the enemy?
Only Zu Ti's camp surrounded the Hu people from all directions, but did not attack, and took turns to yell and provoke, and wanted to lead the Han army to fight. It was said that it was to lead the war, but it was just that Zu Ti's indifferent combat method was invisible. Liu Yuan could clearly remember that he was almost sent to the west by the Han army's gunpowder outside Yecheng. Now Zu Ti is in a dead end and seeks death. He may have the gunpowder.
Regarding gunpowder, it is not without research on Hu people. It is not difficult, but if you want to study it clearly, Hu people lacks relevant talents, and there are too many more important things to take care of.
One by one, the heads were picked on bamboo poles and were displayed in the public circle in Zuti's camp. Most of the Han army in the camp recognized that it was the head of Shao Xu and many Han generals. Although the Hu people had done some treatment for preservation, their appearance and expression still matched their memory, but they could not see each other again.
As time passed, the battle situation of each battalion became increasingly unfavorable. At this moment, the gate of Yingpan suddenly opened wide, and the Han general Zu Ti was wearing a full body, jumping on his horse and swinging his spear, and rushed out with one horse!!
The sound of killing was stirred up in all fields, and the Hu army besieged from all sides. Liu Yuan's main force of the Hu army was already angry by the attitude of the Han army. After losing two hundred cavalry, he immediately launched an offensive, like a surging wave, and his target was the first Han army camp.
