Royal Road - Chapter 158

[Chapter 157 | City]

Sleeping with armor all night, Liu Yao didn’t sleep soundly at all, and got up before dawn.

In order to prepare for the night attack, he not only ordered the soldiers to be sent out in three shifts, but also did not put up tents so as not to obstruct the sight.

In the weather of nearly November, it was enough to just sleep in the open air like this.

Unexpectedly, all preparations were made, but the Liang residence did not move at all last night.

Not to mention it was a night attack, and there was no such thing as harassing the enemy, such as beating drums and horns.

Above the gate tower of Zhaimen, there is a dead silence, if it is not brightly lit, it makes people feel that this is an empty city.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, and there was no movement inside, could it be that they gave up the sneak attack?

However, Liu Yao did not take it lightly.

Siege is not a one-day thing, there is no sneak attack tonight, maybe it will come tomorrow.

Only by starting a war as soon as possible can we find out the truth of the other side.

Several villages outside burned for a night, and now they have also put out the fire.

The smell of burnt stench came from a distance, making people’s breathing a little stagnant.

Liu Yao didn’t care about these little things, and ordered his subordinates to bury the fire and make rice.

After the meal, it was about to dawn, and the cavalry that went to kidnap the villagers was about to return, just in time to start the siege.

How many warriors can there be in such a stockade?

There are probably hundreds of family soldiers, and it is not surprising that there are thousands of young people.

Defending the city is indeed a tough nut to crack.

If you can lure people out of the city to the wild | war, it would be great.

Thinking about how to conquer this fortress, Liu Yao simply used some miscellaneous porridge with minced meat, and ordered people to dress up and prepare for war.

After all, they were the elites of the Huns. Although they did not sleep peacefully all night, these people quickly regained their energy and were ready to go.

However, after waiting from dawn to dawn, the rangers who were sent out to kidnap people did not arrive.

Liu Yao couldn’t help but couldn’t sit still, and said to the scout, “Go to scout and see where the rear army

is ?”

They entered the bandits with light cavalry, and without food support, the troops who captured people and grabbed food replaced the rear army.

Because of this, he dispatched five hundred people.

Even if you can’t bring back many civilians, it’s time to return to life.

Is there any trouble?

Sure enough, half an hour later, Tan Ma flew back and said, “General, Gao Du sent troops to stop the rear army!”

“What?” Liu Yao suddenly stood up.

This group of people is not small, they dare to attack the idea of the rear army!

Aren’t you afraid that he will turn to attack Gaodu and directly knock down the city head?

“How many are there?!” Liu Yao asked.

“It seems that it is less than five hundred, and it is fighting with the rear army!” The scout hurriedly said.

“Liu Wei, bring a thousand people to support the rear army!” Even though he was furious, Liu Yao remained calm.

He suddenly abandoned the city and attacked, but he wanted to cut off his back path.

Without the supply of grain and people, the cavalry alone would not be able to capture the city.

It might be the next day to retreat.

This method is good, but the purpose of his coming is not just to set fire to some villages.

The abandonment of Gaodu’s garrison force also meant that Liangfu was more important to Gaodu magistrates and defenders.

Of course, the rear army can’t lose, but it doesn’t have to send too many troops.

The focus is still on conquering the Liang Mansion.

Liu Wei is Liu Yao’s old subordinate, stable and reliable, and his combat power is not weak.

With him there, I believe that the five hundred troops who are entangled in the rear army can be defeated as soon as possible.

Liu Wei took orders and led his troops towards Gaodu.

Liu Yao ordered the soldiers to dismount and continue to strictly guard the Liang residence.

Wait until the Jin army is suppressed, whether it is beating Liangfu, continue to make threats.

Or turn to Gaodu and descend in one go.

There is more choice.

“Zhu team is right. A total of twenty brothers were killed in the team, and more than a dozen people were seriously injured.” With a bloody face, a soldier reported to the team leader.

Zhu Guo wiped the blood on his face: “Call the nurse to bandage and move the injured to a safe place. The enemy is probably about to send reinforcements, and they won’t be able to take care of them at that time.”

The soldier immediately went down to arrange.

Zhu Guo leaned on a long knife and sighed with difficulty.

Today’s battle is tough.

He is also a veteran of Liangfu, formerly known as Zhu Er, and he is a householder in the Fuzhong.

Since the establishment of the trilogy, he has served in it. For more than a year, he has not lost the battle, and has also climbed to the position of the team.

After entering the academy, I changed my name, which is not what it used to be.

However, even with his incomparably rich combat experience, today was the first time he received such a combat order.

He led his troops to leave the garrisoned city of Gaodu, ambushed the rear army of the Xiongnu, and then lured the enemy deeper and led the enemy into the predetermined encirclement.

Just thinking about it makes people sweat.

Ambush, they are not easy to fight.

Infantry versus cavalry, the most terrifying thing is the power of horses.

Whether it’s rushing into a formation or an encircling shot, as long as the horse can run, the infantry with the same strength will be hard to resist.

However, the rear army brought hundreds of civilians, and with such a burden, coupled with the unexpected, did give them the advantage.

Even so, they let the other party run away a lot of people and failed to stop them all.

However, this is also what is needed to lure the enemy down. If there are no deserters to lead the way, how can they lure reinforcements to attack?

A group of infantry, facing the cavalry feign defeat and lure the enemy, is simply terrifying to the extreme.

But Zhu Guo didn’t flinch at all, and neither did the soldiers behind him.

That group of Huns actually set fire to the villages outside Liangfu, this alone is enough to make everyone work hard for it!

Liang Mansion is their biggest support and their home.

Whoever commits the crime will not be forgiven!

What is an ambush?

What’s the point of seducing the enemy?

After all, they are the main soldiers of the brave camp!

Wiping the sweat off her forehead again, Zhu Guo untied the water bladder and took two sips.

Come on, these son-of-a-bitch Huns!

See who can take whose life!

Half an hour later, a scout rushed to report: “The team is right, the enemy is coming! There are a thousand horses!”

A thousand horses are not a lot.

Zhu Guo took a deep breath: “Evacuate to the northwest at full speed! Pay attention to the formation!”

Following this order, everyone ignored their previous exhaustion and pain, picked up their guns and ran towards the predetermined ambush point.

“General Liu Pi, the Jin army is ahead!” A soldier who had just escaped beside Liu Wei shouted loudly.

Liu Wei looked at the group of deserters who were wearing cloth armor and carrying knives and guns upside down, and couldn’t help frowning: “Only they can disperse the rear army?”

The soldier couldn’t help but say: “The rear army is divided into several teams in order to capture the servants. When they were meeting, they encountered a sneak attack. They were unprepared, and the laborers got in the way, so they were caught off guard. However, this group of people has good fighting strength, and Liu Pi should be more cautious.

” To save face, it was still a sincere dissuade, but Liu Wei couldn’t tell.

However, the speed at which the soldiers in front of them were escaping did not seem to be pretending.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Wei said, “Take the tail to catch up!”

How could two legs run over four legs? They didn’t need to chase too fast.

At the same time, the speed of the horse is not fast, and it will not rush into the ambush unprepared.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Hearing Shangguan’s order, how could the cavalry below not guess what he was thinking, so they followed him on horseback.

As if they were being forced into a hurry, this group of people fled quickly, without any intention of stopping, and even some people were too tired to hold their spears and threw them away.

After following him out for five miles, Liu Weicai shouted loudly when he saw a long and narrow valley appearing in front of him: “Quicken the speed of the horses and stop them!”

Such a valley is impossible to break through no matter what, and is too dangerous for the cavalry.

As long as they don’t enter the mountain road, even if the other party has an ambush, they can’t help them.

At that time, whether it is encirclement and suppression or total annihilation, it will be up to you!

Hearing the order, the cavalry immediately increased their horse speed and chased the deserters like a fan.

As if they knew that they could never escape, the group of people were forced to stand beside the cliff that was crowded on the side, stood still, raised the only remaining sword and gun, and seemed to want to fight desperately.

How can they still have the strength to fight?

Liu Wei smiled coldly, and also increased the speed of the horse, the wind whistled, and the curved bow in his hand was raised at the same time.

rush?

No need.

As long as you shoot a few rounds, you can completely eliminate this group of remnants.

However, just after raising the bow and arrow, the horse Liu Wei sat on suddenly neighed and its front hooves slipped.

Horrified, cold sweat broke out. Liu Wei stomped on the shoe with all his might, grabbed the horse’s mane, and with his excellent riding skills, just when the horse fell to the ground, one of the fronts fell to the ground and escaped being pinned under the horse. fate.

But Liu Wei escaped, but the others were not so lucky.

There was the sound of Ma Ming’s miserable screams. Those tame war horses seemed to be going crazy. They either fell to the ground or jumped wildly, trying to throw the person on their backs away.

what happened?

!

Liu Wei took a step forward in shock, and suddenly there was a piercing pain under his feet.

A caltrop pierced the sole of the shoe and stabbed into the flesh!

Oops!

They have entered an ambush!

The deserters just now seemed to be lined up in a column for the purpose of rushing into the valley.

It was this column that made them take it lightly.

Around the mountain wall, a circle of caltrops had already been sprinkled, leaving only a narrow passage.

Covered by grass, they couldn’t detect it at all.

There is no protection on the horse’s feet, and the horse will stumble when it steps on it.

Even if you are lucky enough to escape, such chaos will make it impossible for people to form a formation!

Also, is the ambush only the dead?

On the ridge to the side, Sun Jiao shouted loudly: “Open the bow!

”

Under his orders, more than 600 archers from the Perak battalion drew their bows at the same time, and the long arrows were like rain, shooting at the group of Huns who were in a disordered formation!

This is a favorable terrain to hold high and condescend, and it is unexpected, this wave of arrows immediately harvested a lot of lives.

Liu Wei desperately raised his wooden shield and shouted loudly, trying to form a defensive formation, but he was in an ambush, what easier said than done?

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Zhu Guo and the others were leaning on swords and spears, panting heavily, watching the arrows in front of them.

They are all used to practicing ten miles every day, but it’s jogging, and it’s fucking hard work!

Not to mention fighting, even standing is laborious.

But being able to successfully lead people into the ambush circle is all worth it!

One of the soldiers said enviously: “Squad is right, this Thunder Camp is really not bad. Just stand and shoot arrows!”

“It’s just a fart.” Zhu Guo panted, “Sun Yingzheng is my original corporal. In the camp, not only must he shoot accurately, but he must also be able to fight and fight hard. The training is no less than that of others!”

“Ah? Isn’t that more powerful than the brave camp?” Another person said.

“Our brave camp is the root of Liang’s residence! Without us, would this ambush be possible?” Someone immediately retorted.

Zhu Guo couldn’t help but smile: “That’s the truth! Hurry up and calm down, we have to deal with this group of thieves!”

The hands holding the knives and guns gradually tightened, waiting to regain their strength again and raise the knives. Meeting the

enemy…

※

This is too slow.

Seeing the sun slip from the zenith, slowly falling towards the west.

The group of cavalry dispatched still has no shadow.

Did you get caught by the enemy?

Or, is this a way to let him divide his troops and deplete his troops a little bit?

But how many soldiers and horses can be stationed in a mere high capital?

Or does the Shangdang have two opposing forces?

No matter what kind of guess, it is not in line with common sense.

But the more unreasonable it is, the more confusing the current situation is.

The camp behind him was still quiet and disturbing.

It seemed that they didn’t pay attention to them at all.

If Liu Yao hadn’t been able to hold his breath, he might have organized his subordinates and started to attack the city.

But what to do next?

Continue to send more troops, or simply abandon Liangfu and turn to Gaodu?

Liu Yao was a little undecided.

That thousand knights did not return for a long time, which is really worrying.

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of horses’ hoofs in the distance, and it seemed that there were four or five hundred cavalry.

Liu Yao stood up and looked away.

I saw a group of cavalry galloping towards here.

Those people are wearing Xiongnu armor!

Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the number of people is less than half, they are indeed their own horses.

I am afraid that the result of the war over there came back to report.

But why only 500 people came back?

Did you lose too many soldiers, or did you stay in Gaodu?

Or to re-prepare the rear army?

Liu Yao frowned, unable to guess the specific battle situation for a while.

His heart was pounding like a hurried horse’s hoof.

I just hope they can bring back good news.

However, the thumping sound did not mean stagnation at all. On the contrary, it became faster and faster, and began to accelerate.

Liu Yao suddenly reacted, this is not a letter, this is the speed of the rush!

They are rushing!

“Get on the horse! Get on the horse to defend!” Liu Yao roared wildly.

His roar did not have the effect it should have, but instead made many people puzzled.

defense?

Where is the enemy?

The long arrows informed them of the direction of the enemy.

I saw that group of cavalrymen dressed in Xiongnu armor, riding Xiongnu war horses, and a pair of Xiongnu faces, bowed their bows and shot the first round of arrows.

The same is riding and archery, their skills are not inferior to any Xiongnu fine riding.

This tiger-like attack immediately blinded the cavalry on standby.

When the second round of archery rain was fired, the group of talents came back to their senses and mounted their horses one after another, wanting to meet the enemy.

Unfortunately, it’s too late!

Five hundred cavalry rushed into Liu Yao’s army.

If you have the heart to count the unintentional, where can you resist?

In the camp, people suddenly turned their backs!

What’s even more hateful is that these people’s clothes are very similar to their own, the sky is dark, and they are mixed in the crowd.

“Dismount! Dismount to fight!” Liu Yao’s reaction was not unpleasant. Since it was too late to meet the enemy on horseback, he might as well dismount and attack the enemies on horseback.

As long as they can form a formation, their own troops will be multiplied by the enemy, and they will not be powerless to fight back!

No matter where these enemies came from, he had to smash them to pieces!

“It’s time.” Standing on the city tower, Zhang He looked at the chaotic Xiongnu

camp below, and said in a low voice, “The whole army is ready to fight!”

Open slowly.

A group of soldiers lined up, the footsteps were fast, and the light was almost inaudible.

In a short time, three thousand soldiers stood outside the Dazhai, with the shield soldiers in the front and the spearmen in the back, forming a tight phalanx.

The camp was already in chaos, and Liu Yao’s order was still passed on.

More and more cavalry dismounted, formed a formation, and began to defend against the enemy.

It seems that the advantage is no longer found, and the enemy also urged the horse and fled towards the periphery.

It worked!

Liu Yao was overjoyed.

Just as he was about to order a chase, a drum sounded behind him.

Suddenly looking back, Liu Yao’s eyes widened in horror!

I saw that in front of the dead village gate, there were dense rows of enemies, each with guns and shield soldiers.

The sound of the drums rumbled, accompanied by their equally loud and tidy footsteps, like an invincible, brave and murderous beast, striding towards their own camp.

After the army formation, there is Dazhai with brilliant lights.

The strong Zhaimen towered into the clouds, and the bright torches illuminated the sky, even overpowering the dim setting sun.

Just like the unquenchable flames of yesterday, it was burning and burning my eyes!

At the same time as the drum sounded, the horn sounded.

After rushing out of the camp, the group of cavalrymen of unknown origin lined up again and took out the long arrows from the quiver.

The tip of the arrow shone with the intertwined light of metal and flame, and it was dazzling and frightening.

Three thousand foot soldiers, five hundred cavalry.

where are they?

What else do they have?

Liu Yao’s teeth rattled and shook involuntarily.

How many soldiers does he have?

“Kill! Kill! Kill!” An angry shout resounded like a tsunami.

The setting sun is like blood, and the spear is like a forest!
