"Your Majesty, we can actually win by guarding Ju Yanze and sending out cavalry to cut off the Han army's food and grass."
A large number of elites came out, and King Xiutu followed Zhang Qi and asked with some confusion.
"really."
"That"
King Xiutu did not finish his words because the status of both parties was not enough for him to say the next words.
But Zhang Qi knew exactly what King Xiutu wanted to say.
He spoke.
"Because there's not enough time."
"My base is no longer here, and the Han region is vast and populated. If the opponent chooses to fight on two fronts, I would rather give up here."
Taking control of Ju Yanze and cutting off the Han Dynasty was the icing on the cake for Zhang Qi. If the Han Dynasty really carried out a two-front war, then he must protect Liao land instead of here.
Therefore, the longer it takes, although he can defeat the Han army and eat 200,000 Han troops without fighting, he cannot afford to delay.
Shanhaiguan was built, but after all, it had not experienced the test of war. It was unclear whether it would be like Shanhaiguan in later generations, so he was also in a hurry and chose to go All-in directly.
"Report!"
"A large number of Han troops appeared on the right, and General Hu Shui led his troops to intercept them!"
"really!"
The messenger's report interrupted the conversation between Zhang Qi and King Xiutu.
Zhang Qi looked sideways at King Xiutu, who immediately raised his hand and said, "Take the order!"
"The time has come for the warriors of the Xiutu tribe to make contributions to our king!"
King Xiutu led eight thousand warriors from Xiutu tribe to help You Yi's army. Zhang Qi set his sights on the anxious front of the battlefield.
Two teams of 10,000 Han troops came slowly.
The officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army also retreated in an orderly manner.
Suddenly.
The Liaodong Army separated on the left and right.
Twenty ballistae were openly revealed.
"put!"
Boom——
Twenty crossbow bolts were instantly fired from the grooves of the ballista.
These crossbow bolts, which can be fired into the city walls to provide soldiers with the ability to climb, have almost no difficulty in penetrating shields.
Even if the shot cannot penetrate the shield, the powerful potential energy can still shock the soldier holding the shield to death.
"Win the string!"
"put!"
After the twenty ballistas reached the firing range, they demonstrated their unreasonable fire suppression capabilities.
Zhang Qi has tested that compared to a trebuchet that can fire one shot in six or seven minutes, a crossbow can fire at least ten crossbow bolts in one minute. Some crossbow operators can even increase this number to more than ten. .
One minute long?
not long.
But it seemed so long to the Han army at this moment.
The continuous crossbow arrows almost destroyed the ten-thousand-person army in front. Facing such unreasonable weapons, the morale of the Han army plummeted.
"Drive! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Charge over with all your strength, don't get into trouble with this cavalry!"
Gongsun He, who received the order to rush to rescue, was now red-faced. The cavalry came again, and hung beside them. They would run away if they chased them, and shoot if they didn't chase them.
The number of chariots he led out was no more than 10,000, and within half a moment of interacting with this cavalry, a group of them had already fallen.
If this continues, even the elites of his headquarters will not be able to bear it.
It was not that there was no counterattack. There were many chariot archers among the chariot soldiers, but their arrows could not reach the cavalry at all. Even if they did, they did not cause any effective damage.
He had no choice but to order an attack at full speed.
I hope I can exchange the lives of some soldiers for enough distance.
The riders came across.
The warriors of the Xiutu tribe also joined the You Yi army. The Huns, who had replaced Zhang Qifang's bows and arrows, were not bad at shooting. Although they were not as good as You Yi army, they could still hit 34 out of 10.
The chariots and cavalry have been being consumed. The most important thing is that Gongsun He has no way to do anything.
His face is getting redder and redder, and he can even cosplay Mr. Guan.
"It's too much!"
"You don't follow martial ethics!!"
"puff--"
A mouthful of old blood spurted out from Gongsun He's mouth.
The rider instantly entered a state of chaos.
"General!"
The elite around Gongsun He were shocked.
Fortunately, Gongsun He felt a lot more comfortable after spitting out a mouthful of blood. He waved his hand and continued to order.
"Even if all of us die today, we still have to hit the enemy's trebuchet!"
"Commanders!"
"Follow me to death."
Gongsun He probably knew what his possible fate would be, so he said this.
He couldn't guarantee anything for the others, but his soldiers might be willing to go with him.
"I am willing to die with the general!"
Every soldier is a loyal person carefully selected by every general. Their status is higher than that of most soldiers. Accordingly, they have to do things that other soldiers cannot do.
"rush!"
Gongsun He drew out the dagger from his waist and stabbed the butt of the war horse he was sitting on. Under the pain, the speed of the war horse suddenly increased.
The other soldiers also stabbed their horses under their crotches in this way.
Looking at the riders who suddenly became faster.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Hu Shui's mouth, and he looked coldly at Gongsun He and the others as they distanced themselves from the large army of riders.
"Babies! Hunting time!"
"Huha!"
this moment.
You Yijun's speed is no longer used to cover up anything.
The horse's speed increased to the extreme in an instant, like a bolt of lightning, and it was instantly on par with Gongsun He's troops who were galloping.
"you!"
Gongsun He only had the word despair in his eyes.
Even so, he could not get rid of the cavalry.
"middle!"
A cold and sharp arrow suddenly appeared in Gongsun He's field of vision. By the time he reacted and tried to dodge, it was already too late.
"Uh-huh!"
The body flew backwards from the horse, and a blood-stained arrow on the back of the head penetrated directly through the back of the helmet.
"General!!"
The soldiers cried and cried.
The salary of the food king will be paid back in death.
This is the code of conduct for most people in this era.
Sadness spread among the Janissaries.
But the power of the mourning soldiers should not be underestimated.
This group of soldiers was already desperate for their lives. All they could see was the final order given to them by their general on the battlefield.
Destroy the trebuchet.
"Pity."
Hu Shui felt a little pity for these Han troops who showed their amazing potential at the last moment.
If all the Han troops had their spirit, they would not lose this battle with their numbers.
such a pity.
In this era, no one would value the education, body and mind of the soldiers as much as Zhang Qi, nor would he always strengthen the ideological construction of the soldiers, form a Zhengxuan team, and instill the concept of why they fight and who they fight for.
In this era, soldiers joining the army were just the labor assigned to them by the upper class who needed them to fight.
"Deal with them."
"promise."
You Yijun speeded up again.
Their bodies were stable with their feet in stirrups.
The horses just ran forward, and the bows and arrows in the hands of the riders were all fully drawn.
Whoosh whoosh——
Arrows rained down like a waterfall, and they took turns firing arrows in front of the accelerating You Yi army.
This private soldier was shrouded in the rain of arrows, and not even the men or horses survived.
"Your general is dead! Dismount and surrender!"
Get rid of Gongsun He and his soldiers.
Hu Shui immediately went to recruit the remaining riders.
The fate of Gongsun He and his soldiers could be seen clearly.
Not long after, the entire cavalry stopped, dismounted, dismounted, and knelt down to surrender.
