Murong Kuaixing said angrily: "Jin Bo, if you want to stay here by yourself, my troops have all been beaten. If you don't leave, are you going to wait here to die?"
He was Murong Fuyun's uncle. He had a transcendent status and had never taken Jin Bo seriously.
Jin Bo was quite thick-skinned. Instead of being angry at all, he said with a smile: "My lord, please calm down. The Han people are always cunning. They know clearly that no reinforcements will come, but why do they still use smoke? Have you ever thought about this problem?"
Murong Fuyun frowned and said, "Jin Bo, stop being so secretive. If you have any ideas, just tell me."
Jin Bo stroked his beard and said: "If Jin's prediction is correct, Liu Ziqiu must have set up an ambush outside the city. He used the smoke to convey the message to this ambush."
Murong Kuaixing said loudly: "Since he still has ambushes, then we should retreat even more!"
Jin Bo shook his head and said: "We have suffered heavy casualties in the past few days, how can the city be better? Jin has some eyes and ears in the city, and the news they sent back said that the casualties of the defenders will not be less than 5,000. Everyone thinks
Think about it, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city? With five thousand casualties, and taking into account the ambush troops left outside the city, how much strength do you still have?"
His analysis was not unreasonable, but there was one thing Jin Bo failed to consider. The city was tightly defended, so how could the news be easily transmitted? How credible was the information coming from his eyes and ears? In fact, his eyes and ears had already
Already under Zhao Ling's surveillance, these messages were sent out intentionally by Zhao Ling, otherwise those eyes and ears would have no chance of approaching the city wall.
Murong Fuyun slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "That's right! The reason why we used the smoke in the city is to call the ambushes to come back for reinforcements."
Jin Bo said with a proud face: "So, the city has reached its end. Not only can we not withdraw our troops, we must also strengthen our offensive and must not give up halfway. As for the reinforcements, come as soon as they come. We have to fight in the wild. We don't have to be afraid of those Han people."
?”
Murong Fuyun was in a great mood and ordered the three armies to rest early and attack the city again the next morning for a final push.
…
It was night, the moon was dim, and there was silence outside the city. At the third watch, the city began to move. The soldiers had eaten dried meat, drank water, were neatly dressed, each holding a weapon, and silently waited at the gate of the city. The city
The ice wall behind the door has melted, and the wooden city gate covered with "patches" is crumbling.
Jin Bo's guess was correct. Liu Ziqiu indeed left the two nomadic cavalry troops outside the city and stationed them in the former Sui army camp under Niling. These two nomadic cavalry troops were neither ambush nor ambushes.
The reinforcements were Liu Ziqiu's mobile force. The smoke ignited in the city was neither a notification to set up an ambush nor a request for reinforcements, but a way to prepare them to pursue the remnants of the enemy.
Liu Ziqiu does not have the hypocrisy of Yang Guang. As long as he defeats Murong Fuyun, he will not give him another chance to stand up. These two nomadic cavalry are Liu Ziqiu's ultimate weapon to completely defeat Murong Fuyun. Although Xihai is not as good as Mobei Grassland,
But it is also vast enough. Only nomadic tribes who have grown up on horseback are best suited to gallop on this land. Long-distance pursuit is a hard job. Although Wen Hao's thousand-man cavalry team also has superb riding skills,
But it's not enough for them to ride on horseback all day long.
Wolf smoke can only be seen clearly during the day, so it must be cast before dark. However, the time of the attack has been agreed in advance, so there is no need to worry about the two nomadic cavalry being exposed in advance. At this moment, they are also ready to go, just waiting
There was movement from Weiding City. While releasing the smoke, Liu Ziqiu ordered a bonfire to be lit, melting the ice wall behind the city gate.
At the fourth watch, a dark cloud floated from the sky, completely covering the hazy moonlight. Liu Ziqiu gave an order, and several soldiers slowly opened the west gate of Weiding City. Although the gate was in tatters, it was greased with butter. When the door was opened,
It was quiet, not a single sound could be heard.
When the city gate opened, the first to leave the city were five hundred fat bulls. After a winter, the cattle and sheep will shed a layer of fat, but since they moved into Weiding City, they don’t have to worry about the wind and snow, and they can still
There is enough fodder, and the Han people's fodder is also mixed with some protein-rich soybeans and black beans, so these cattle, sheep and horses are stronger than before winter. Five hundred bulls lined up in a row under the city, their heads pointed.
The direction was exactly Murong Fuyun's camp. The cow's head was covered with iron armor, and its body was covered with withered grass. Liu Ziqiu waved his hand gently, and the soldiers driving the cow set fire to the haystacks on the cow.
The bull was frightened, spread its hooves and ran towards the Xianbei military camp. Even though the bull is usually slow, when it gets mad, its speed is no less than that of a galloping horse. Especially these bulls, each weighing 1,500 kilograms.
Above, the heaviest even reaches 2,000 kilograms. Such a group of behemoths is like a row of heavy tanks, rumbling and crushing them, and their momentum is even better than that of thousands of horses galloping. This is the real Fire Bull Formation.
Although the Xianbei people were not used to night fighting, Murong Fuyun still sent out several teams of scouts, but these scouts were all sent in the opposite direction to Weiding City. Their mission was to find the ambush laid by Liu Ziqiu. In the direction of Weiding City,
There were only a few soldiers on duty in the direction. The fourth correction was the sleepiest time of the day. Many Xianbei soldiers were immersed in sleep, and even the soldiers on duty were napping. Until the sound of the bulls galloping became louder and louder, they
Only then did he wake up from his half-dream. Some people blew the horns, and some fired bows and arrows in vain to stop the bull's progress.
The Xianbei people's camp was not well built, and there were no traps or deer villages. From the camp to Weiding City, it was just a flat plain. The bull was very fast, and it arrived in front of the camp in a blink of an eye. Although there were bows and arrows shot by the Xianbei people, Liu Ziqiu had not planned it beforehand.
Some important parts of the bull's body have been covered with iron armor. One or two blows to other places are like scratching an itch for the rough-skinned and thick-fleshed bull. These messy arrows not only fail to stop the bull's progress, but in fact arouse it even more.
Their wildness. The galloping bulls soon tore apart the fence outside the camp and rampaged through the camp. Many Xianbei soldiers who had just been warned and hurried out of the tents were knocked over by the mad bulls before they had time to find their horses.
There was a panic in the camp.
Immediately behind the Fire Bull Formation, a group of cavalry came galloping forward. The leader of the group was a general with long arms. He was invincible and unstoppable. This man was thin in stature, but surprisingly strong. Several Xianbei tribe leaders followed him.
Those who tried to stop him were thrown off their horses. If you look closely, you will find that this person is actually a young woman.
It turned out that this was Wen Hao's thousand-man cavalry unit, and it was also the only cavalry unit in the city. Even when the battle for the city was at its hottest, Liu Ziqiu was not willing to let them join the battle, just waiting for today.
After more than ten days of treatment, Wen Hao was able to walk around, but he was still unable to lead the cavalry to kill the enemy. Originally, Liu Ziqiu personally led the cavalry as an assault force, but everyone
I disagree. Because this may be the most dangerous battle, Liu Ziqiu, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, cannot allow any mistakes. At this time, Fan Lihua suddenly came to the door and was willing to fight in Wen Hao's place.
Fan Lihua may not be considered a female class, but she is the daughter of a military family. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child. Not only is she a good swordsman, she is also proficient in eighteen other martial arts. Her ability to charge into battle and even form troops is better than Liu Ziqiu's.
More than once. Under her leadership, the cavalry rushed left and right, and soon the Xianbei camp was thrown into chaos.
After this cavalry, thousands more cavalry rushed into the camp. In fact, these people were not real cavalry, but were temporarily composed of strongmen, spearmen, and axemen. The daily training of public subjects became apparent at this time.
It worked. Although their riding skills were average, their momentum was astonishing. The Xianbei people did not expect that there was such a powerful force in the city, and their military morale collapsed instantly.
Murong Fuyun was still sleeping. He was dragged up by several of his followers. Before he could figure out what happened, he was helped onto his horse and fled out of the camp. As soon as Murong Fuyun left.
, the other leaders also refused to fight, and each led his troops to flee. At this time, two nomadic cavalry, which had been lurking for many days, crossed out and chased the defeated Xianbei soldiers. The matter of cleaning up the battlefield was left to Fan.
Lihua, Zhang Liang, Shi Danai and others are responsible, and they don't need to be distracted.
Because the Xianbei people were completely unprepared, the Fire Bull Formation broke through the camp and disturbed the horses. Only less than a thousand people followed and fled hastily, while the others were trapped in the camp. Although the nomadic people are tough, their long-term living habits have
They were at a loss without their horses. On the other hand, they were used to fighting against the wind. The failure to capture Weiding City for a long time had greatly demoralized them. Now that the camp was broken, they had no intention of fighting. When they meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.
An army without fighting spirit will have no second outcome other than being slaughtered on the battlefield.
With Tumulu and Jiao Liyan chasing after them, the fate of those who escaped with Murong Fuyun would not be easy. Although they were good at riding and shooting, they were short of time, and many of them didn't even have time to bring their bows and arrows. No.
Without bows and arrows, no matter how great their skills are, they will not be able to display their abilities. I don’t know how many people will be able to escape with their lives if they go on this way.
On the top of the city, Liu Ziqiu silently looked at the noisy battlefield, filled with emotions. He originally thought that this robbery camp would encounter strong resistance, but unexpectedly it ended in a hurry in less than an hour. After this battle, even Murong
Fu Yun once again escaped by chance. Without ten years of hard work, it would be difficult for the Xianbei people to recover. This wasteland would change hands from now on. Success or failure could only happen in a blink of an eye.
In the Xianbei military camp outside the city, many old and weak women and children of the Xihai tribe are helping to clean up the battlefield. The captured horses, cattle and sheep need to be driven back to the city, and the Xianbei prisoners also need to be supervised. The scimitars, bows and arrows scattered on the ground are important supplies.
It is necessary to collect as much as possible. Zhang Liang, Shi Danai and others stood on the battlefield talking and laughing. This battle was really enjoyable, and the depression of being suppressed by the Xianbei people at the top of the city a few days ago was swept away. At this time, dark clouds
He quietly approached Zhang Liang and pressed the handle of the knife tightly with both hands.
