Seeing a layer of snow covering the ground outside, Huyan Gai laughed.
Although when it comes to the thickness of the snow, the heavy snow in front of you is completely inferior to Hutuo City, the old place of the Huns. In winter, the snow can reach nearly meters deep. But the heavy snow in front of you and the weather in front of you can still make water freeze.
, allowing them to quickly cross the Pingcheng side.
"Come on, let's go down and march to Pingcheng according to the plan we made before." After laughing, Huyan Gai waved his hand in an imposing manner. Then, someone hurriedly went to make arrangements.
The slave soldiers, who had received preparation orders long ago, also began to step on the white snow and move towards the opposite sides of Pingcheng.
These slave soldiers all had a look of despair on their faces. They knew very well what their mission as a vanguard army was? It was to attract the artillery fire of the Chinese army.
Even before they could rush to the city, they were afraid that at least half of them would die. But they had no choice. Behind them were the Hun cavalry who were eyeing them. If they dared to be disobedient, they wouldn't have to fight for half of their lives.
, will be killed now.
In order to have half a chance of survival, they can only fight hard.
A total of 20,000 slaves marched towards Pingcheng with a look of fear of death. When they came to the water-filled ditch, the icy road caused many people to fall to the ground. And this time
It would be difficult to stand up, because countless people would then step on them and crush every bone in their bodies.
But at this moment, no one paid attention to those comrades who accidentally fell, because at this time, above their heads, the artillery of the Chinese Army began to explode, threatening them and harvesting their lives.
When one's life is threatened, who cares about the safety of others? It's just a rush!
Maybe if you rush faster, you can rush through both sides of Pingcheng. That would be equivalent to finding a way to survive and giving you hope of survival.
Twenty thousand slave soldiers advanced under the roar of artillery fire, and soon they fell into pieces of corpses under the baptism of artillery fire. But this did not hinder the advancement of others. Again, in order to survive,
One by one, they fully unleashed their potential.
Whether they killed each other or were injured by artillery fire, after they actually rushed through the water-filled ditch, the slave soldiers abandoned 30% of their troops. There was still a checkpoint to pass, which was to rush through both sides of the city.
Both sides of Pingcheng are wide areas of several miles each. Just this morning, there were many Dahua infantry stationed here, but now they have disappeared, leaving only an empty camp.
"Come on, rush over, we can survive." In the team, gangsters shouted, and then more than 10,000 slave soldiers rushed in, and took the initiative to split into two, with Pingcheng's soldiers
Rushing past the east and west sides.
"Fire arrows!" On top of the city tower, the soldiers of the Chinese Army who had been prepared for a long time shot the bows and arrows in their hands toward the bottom of the city.
Under the volley of thousands of arrows, slave soldiers fell on the way forward, and their blood soon dyed the originally snow-white ground red.
Comrades continued to fall around them, which seemed to further arouse the fighting spirit of the slave soldiers. They rushed forward as if they were desperate. According to the blueprint drawn by the Huns, as long as they rushed through Pingcheng
, then nothing can stop them, and they can go to the old land of Beidi, settle down, and live the life they want.
"Oh my god, are these people crazy?" I saw some slave soldiers still had arrows stuck in their bodies, but they did not forget to run forward desperately. Only when they fell to the ground because of excessive bleeding, then The body seemed to want to continue to squirm forward, and the generals standing on the tower looked at all this, and they couldn't help but say in surprise.
Chief of Staff Lou Chao also sighed, "They are used to the power of the Huns' cavalry and have already given up on resisting. In their hearts, they hate Ganren's army because they need protection when they need it most. , and no one stood up. Over time, they became accustomed to being conquered by the Huns, and their hearts were full of servility. Well, to be precise, they are not considered Ganren now, at least not standing Ganren."
The chief of staff's voice still rang in everyone's ears, causing everyone to fall into deep thought. Finally, slave soldiers rushed across both sides of Pingcheng and fled into the distance.
"Commander, please give the order. Our Fifth Cheetah Brigade will definitely be able to leave the city and catch up with these people." Brigadier Qi Yin stood up and asked for a fight with an excited look on his face.
"No need. There are too many slave soldiers. Even if you are exhausted, I won't be able to kill them all. Let's let them pass first. Don't worry, they won't be able to enter the old land of Beidi." Feng Xun shook his head. Here In the ice and snow, he really didn't think much of these slave soldiers.
The rear area had long been fortified and cleared, and all the people in the villages were forcibly ordered to move to nearby cities. When they left, they took away all useful things, including all food.
In order to do this, Tang Ao waved his hand and spent a total of 80 million taels to do this. This money was a subsidy for the people.
The purpose of such a generous move was to completely eliminate the Xiongnu army in Guzhou and Liaozhou.
The rear has been fully prepared, so even if these slave soldiers can rush through Pingcheng, what can they mean?
Next, when they are faced with a situation where they have nothing to rob, nothing to kill, and nothing to eat, how long can they hold on? At that time, they only need to send a cavalry to wander around them, and they can come One waits for hard work with ease, and strives for big things with small things.
Under such circumstances, how could Feng Xun send someone out of the city to do something dangerous?
When it is time to fight, all generals will not begrudge the lives of their soldiers, because they are fighting for the country, fighting for the clan, and fighting for victory. But when there is no need to send troops, one more person will die. The soldier's incompetence is also his fault, and he can be sent to the General Staff to be punished.
"This is the order of the division commander. No one is allowed to leave the city without the permission of the commander and the chief of staff. Otherwise, he will be punished according to military regulations." In order to prevent belligerent people from rushing out and doing something he would regret, Feng Xun thought for a while. Finally, a strict order was issued in the form of a military order.
According to military regulations, the punishment would be beheading. After hearing this, the other generals who still wanted to apply couldn't help but stop thinking.
In the end, about 9,000 of the 20,000 slave troops rushed through Pingcheng. When this scene was seen by Ye Bushou of the Xiongnu and reported to King Huyangai, there was naturally a burst of laughter. .
"Okay, okay. Half of the 20,000 people rushed through. Did you see it? Without the obstruction of the water-filled trenches, the Chinese army was nothing more than mediocrity. Well, let's continue to let the slave soldiers charge without interruption. Go ahead, don't give the Great Chinese Army time to rest. I want to see if they know what it means to be tired. I also want to see how many thunders they have to deal with. Well, I will inform you later that at night After that, we Huns will also launch attacks in batches."
Hu Yangai was very smart. During the day, when the sight was good, he would let the slave soldiers charge to consume the thunder and energy of the Dahua army. He would not let the Xiongnu army pass through the city until night, when the enemy was tired. It seems that
It seems to be the safest process.
In this way, Huyangai began to arrange for the first group of Huns to pass through the city at night, including some cavalry warriors and many Huns family members.
Hu Yangai's idea was good. This was something he had discussed with Wei Qian'er before, and he thought there was no problem. But they didn't want to think about it. This idea was just the two of them, but in the Dahua Army, they did have a powerful one.
In the staff department, if each person there makes a judgment and analysis, it will be the crystallization of the wisdom of many people. How can the minds of these two people be compared?
Before the war, Lou Chao led his staff to make a series of battle plans. A group of people also put forward various opinions and possibilities as they were Huns. How could the idea of crossing the city at night be possible?
No preparation at all.
The final result of the discussion was that regardless of whether the opponent would use this trick, the Second Firearms Brigade in the city would hold a grand fireworks display at night. A wave of artillery attacks would come every half to an hour, with powerful blows.
The Huns' arrogance consumed their strength.
In this way, shortly after dark, many Huns cavalry and family members followed the slave soldiers to both sides of Pingcheng. When they were about to cross the city, the cannons rumbled and the Huns, who were completely unprepared, immediately ate a big meal.
Unfortunately, after just a burst of shelling, hundreds of cavalry warriors were killed, and many family members sitting in carriages were also affected, resulting in numerous casualties.
Facts slapped Huyan Gai and told him that traveling at night was not very safe. But at this point, they had no choice but to divide the Huns into many groups and cross the city in batches.
, and there is no better way.
The weather is getting colder and colder, which greatly slows down people's progress. In addition, the Huns, who have 800,000 or 900,000 dependents, are working day and night. If they all want to pass through Pingcheng, it will take at least half a month.
.
At that time, the sound of artillery in Pingcheng would be heard every day, and every day outside the city would be mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In the south, the Japanese army finally arrived at a place more than ten miles east of Pingcheng, and began to set up camp here.
.
If they had followed the previous plan, they could have appeared here at least twenty days in advance. But it was precisely because of the harassment battle of the Dahua Army's cavalry and the twelve-character policy that the Japanese Army's speed slowed down again and again. In the end,
