Since the power of Chu State weakened, Shanxi's territory was limited to the Great Wall.
Walking out of Yanmen Pass is like going abroad. And actually. The vast land outside Yanmen Pass is the traditional sphere of influence of the Han people.
The empire conquered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
After many years.
The Han army once again galloped on the land outside Yanmen Pass.
“Whoa whoa whoa!!!!”
The wild goose gate is closed.
The "Han" flag fluttered in the wind, and the archers of the Yanmen Pass defenders continued to shoot arrows at the archers on the Slavic well car to cover the cavalry.
The rest of the soldiers were doing nothing for a while.
All the heavily armored Slavic soldiers who had ascended or were ascending the city left the city wall and gathered to fight with the Han army.
When the cavalry charges and the infantry does not have a complete square formation.
Although their courage was commendable, they could not compete with the Han cavalry.
The battlefield was filled with blood and flesh, and the screams of Slavic heavy-armed soldiers were everywhere.
The garrison at Yanmen Pass consists of all the other arms except archers. Looking at the battlefield outside the pass with their commander Xue Pingkou, an indescribable feeling arose spontaneously, and many soldiers shed tears and choked with sobs.
Before this, they really couldn't imagine it.
Xue Pingkou also dissuaded Wu Min and Feng Chong from guarding Xiongguan and not using cavalry to charge into the formation.
I didn’t expect that our big man’s cavalry could be so brave and good at fighting. And the commander-in-chief Wang's eldest son Qihou and Zhao Guogong Feng Chong were so brave.
Compared to them, I am a frog in the well.
Shanxi people stood up.
The Han people stood up.
Feng Chong and Wu Min each led thousands of cavalrymen, charging left and right in the Slavic army formation, leaving a mess wherever they passed.
Slavic heavily armed warriors suffered numerous casualties.
Until the sound of horse hooves sounded.
"Kill!!!!" Wu Min held a horse-shaped spear eight feet in his hand and beheaded a Slavic heavy-armed soldier. Hearing the noise, he turned to look at the Slavic camp.
Countless Slavic heavily armored knights and cavalry charged forward with shouts.
Full of oppression.
Especially the heavily armored knight wearing full body armor with only his eyes exposed. Their defense power has reached the peak of the cold weapon era.
Wu Min is brave and good at fighting, but he is not a reckless man. Smiling to the left and right, he said: "It's too late. I've already killed as many as I can. Withdraw the troops."
"withdraw troops!!!"
"The Marquis of Qi has an order to withdraw the troops."
The Han soldiers shouted, followed Wu Min and turned around, heading towards the city gate.
"Stop them. Rely on the power of the cavalry and annihilate them all." The Slavic heavy-armed soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The remaining people only felt humiliated. The officers shouted and organized the soldiers to try to stop Wu Min and Feng Chong.
"A dog that has lost its family dares to bark." With contempt in his eyes, Wu Min rode forward alone, broke into the small Slavic army formation, rushed left and right, and killed more than ten people.
The cavalry from the rear followed closely and quickly submerged this small group of Slavic heavy-armed soldiers under the torrent of steel.
Under the horse's hooves, it became meat.
at the same time. Feng Chong also shouted to retreat. Under their command, two thousand Han troops with heavy armor and heavy cavalry entered Yanmen Pass side by side.
"Quick. Close the city gate."
"Quick. Stop the opponent's infantry from entering the city gate."
When Feng Chong and Wu Min retreated into Yanmen Pass, Xue Pingkou, who was guarding the city, woke up from his dream and shouted.
The defenders also woke up from a dream. The archers immediately changed their direction, kept pulling the bowstring, and shot arrows at the heavily armed Slavic soldiers at Yanmen Pass as if for free.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
The rest of the soldiers, including swordsmen, warriors, spearmen, and shield soldiers, all bent down, picked up stones, wood, and other objects on the city wall, and threw them to the ground.
It rained stones, wood, and arrows from the sky. Although the Slavic heavily armed soldiers are brave and good at fighting, they cannot go beyond the limits.
Although the Slavic heavy cavalry was very fast, by the time they arrived on the battlefield.
The Han army's defenders had already closed the city gate. And immediately put on multiple huge door bolts.
The city gate is impregnable.
"Hahaha. It's so good. It's so good. This is the cavalry. How can the cavalry defend the city? It's such a waste of natural resources." Feng Chong laughed loudly, threw the eight-foot-long sword in his hand to the soldiers, turned over and dismounted, and shouted that he was happy .
"Haha." Wu Min also laughed, his expression full of joy.
The two thousand heavy armored cavalrymen held their heads high and looked very happy and proud.
Wu Min and Feng Chong asked Qianhu to count the number of people and treat the wounded.
The loss is minimal.
Eighty-two people died in the battle.
Thirty-one people were seriously injured.
Hundreds of people were slightly injured.
"The Marquis of Qi and the Duke of Zhao are truly an enemy of ten thousand people. I admire you at the end." Xue Pingkou led his soldiers down the pass. After seeing the two of them, he immediately bent down and saluted, saying with sincerity.
Needless to say, Wu Min.
Feng Chong's bad mouth is very annoying. But looking at his heroic appearance galloping on the battlefield, Xue Pingkou still thought he was a bit cute.
What a strong man.
Feng Chong was happy to kill, and Xue Pingkou's words sounded good. He put his hands on his hips, showing a proud look.
Wu Min smiled slightly, not modesty, but not proud either. He just accepted the compliment calmly. He didn't take it to heart and said: "General Xue. After this battle, the Slavs must have realized that Yanmen Pass is not something they can capture. The battle at Yanmen Pass has come to an end."
"But what happens next is complicated."
Speaking of this, Wu Min showed a solemn look and said: "We have 20,000 soldiers, plus a hundred thousand horses. The food and grass required are very huge."
"Although it can be dispatched from Han, the road is too long."
"It's better to collect food on the spot."
"The general is from Shanxi and has guarded Yanmen Pass for many years. He has great prestige."
"I hope the general can help us conquer Shanxi and collect food."
Xue Pingkou immediately patted his chest and said with a thumping sound: "Please rest assured, Marquis Qi. These matters are all taken care of by me."
In Shanxi, Chu State's control is actually very strong.
There are still heavy troops on the Taiyuan side.
But the roots of the Chu State were rotten, and it was useless to have a large army. Shanxi is a place with many mountains and many mountain people.
The folk customs are strong and strong.
The powerful soldiers of the Han Dynasty combined with his prestige.
It is not difficult to seize some county towns, contact the mountain people, and raise food and grass.
Before, he had planned to send people to contact the mountain people to support Yanmen Pass.
"Yes." Wu Min nodded slightly, showing joy.
Then there is nothing left to say.
celebrate.
Except for sending the necessary number of soldiers to guard the critical moment, the rest of the soldiers have entered a resting state.
The fire-headed army is in full swing, making rice in the pot.
Xue Pingkou brought out the best wine, slaughtered pigs, sheep and cattle, and entertained Wu Min and Feng Chong.
Celebrate the Han army's victory.
"Hahaha."
For a time, Yanmen Pass was filled with laughter and laughter.
happy. happy.
