650,000 barbarians and black people came out together, and the six chiefs were actually under a lot of pressure.
This was almost an all-out effort, leaving less than 20,000 troops in the clan area. If it weren't for the bundle of interests, Tang Xiao coming to supervise the battle in person could be regarded as an exchange.
Otherwise, they would have sent out 50,000 men anyway and left the rear empty.
This all-out attack can be said to be overwhelming, but the price is very high.
In just one hour, their casualties exceeded 10,000, and looking at their posture, the casualties continued to rise.
The fighting power of their barbarian Heilu was so strong that even Tang Feng was quite afraid of them.
But facing this newly formed group of Jiaozhou soldiers, they couldn't take any advantage.
Their casualties were huge, and of course the opponent's Jiaozhou soldiers were also the same, almost one to one, but if converted to the total population, they would suffer a lot.
In this battle, not only the Jiaozhou soldiers under Dongshan Hou, but also the natives of the Priest Alliance participated in the battle.
Logically speaking, in the past, when they faced these natives, they were almost beaten.
But now, these natives seem to have received some kind of training. Currently, they cannot exchange one for one with them, but with the advantage of the team, they can at least do three for one, or even two for one.
Before, even five or six people might not be able to suppress them.
But now, in just a few months, such a change has occurred, how could they not be surprised?
They were shocked, but there was no turning back. Now that the fight had begun, they could not retreat easily, especially after paying more than 10,000 casualties.
Just as the six chiefs continued to attack despite huge casualties, they suddenly discovered that at some point, the troops on the outskirts of the county where the resistance was the most fierce began to gradually shrink.
Regardless of casualties, both sides slowed down in a slow manner.
Not only that, even the pressure from their attack momentum was instantly relieved a lot.
This move made the six chiefs a little confused. They didn't know what the Jiaozhou soldiers, who had been fighting desperately just now, were thinking about now.
Looking at the county in front of them that was shrinking and even gradually showing no intention of attacking, the six chiefs were just silent for a while.
The next moment, a fierce order was given, and all Heilu quickly attacked.
On the battlefield, every second is a possibility, and it can be said to be ever-changing.
Even though there might be some traps in the county in front of them, after weighing everything, the six chiefs decided to attack directly.
Compared with the possibility of an ambush, as long as they can approach the county seat or even enter the county seat, they will win half the battle.
As a veteran who travels through various mountainous and dense forests all year round, it is important to lay traps.
These soldiers are not enough to look at in front of them.
Therefore, this risk can still be taken.
Without the desperate obstruction before, they arrived at the foot of the county wall in a matter of seconds as quickly as possible.
The Jiaozhou soldiers who had retracted into the city at this time made no movement at all after entering the city. The entire county was very quiet, and there was no intention of a big battle at all.
At the signal of their respective chiefs, the reconnaissance Heilu who came to the base of the wall climbed over the city wall as quickly as possible. With their skills, they climbed up to the city tower in the blink of an eye.
Watching this scene, the chief's heart was tense. Seeing that Detective Heilu was not surprised at all, he felt relieved a little.
But their eyebrows did not relax at all. Suddenly, they seemed to realize some bad premonition.
The Heilu who sneaked into the city walked out of the city gate directly after about a quarter of an hour.
The closed city gate was opened by them, and the detective Heilu came quickly and reported to the six chiefs.
A shocking news was before them.
The Jiaozhou soldiers, who originally fought them to the death and refused to retreat, not only retracted into the city, but even abandoned the city and retreated.
There was no one in the entire city, and there were quite a few traps, but they couldn't stop them. The delay just now was just a delay in dismantling the traps.
heard this
The six chiefs looked ugly after hearing the news. This was a good thing, but in their eyes, it was an insult to them.
If these Jiaozhou soldiers finally fled because of fear, they would be quite happy.
But looking at it now, the so-called abandonment of the city and escape had been planned in advance, otherwise, the county defenders would have fled so fast.
No one was even left to stop them. In front of them, they came directly to the abandoned city.
And they, the majestic barbarians Heilu, powerful warriors who could fight against soldiers from various states, were fooled by these guys.
This is not humiliating them, what is!
The six chiefs' faces were ashen, and they immediately ordered to give up searching the county seat and encircle Xiacang County in the rear as quickly as possible.
These county defenders were able to leave so quickly without even thinking that the entire county had been evacuated long ago, leaving them with only an empty city.
Rather than wasting time, it is better to continue the pursuit.
Since these Jiaozhou soldiers chose to retreat, leaving an empty city for them, the barbarian Heilu would not give up this opportunity to encircle them.
I originally thought that conquering six county towns would cost a lot, but these Jiaozhou soldiers seemed to be afraid and did not dare to fight hard, so they retreated.
All the troops were concentrated in Xiacang County in order to fight to the death.
Just in time, six soldiers and horses gathered in Xiacang County to encircle it.
Even if you can't win it in a short time, you will be so sleepy that you can't move.
They are fighting fiercely with Su Qian here, and Xizhou is sending troops south. The ones who will panic will be the defenders who are besieged in Xiacang County.
During the Xiacang War, as far as they knew, several important figures came to the county.
These people are the confidants of Dongshan Hou, and they are also high-level officials in Jiaozhou. It is much better to catch them all than to raid the county.
Under the orders of the six chiefs, these barbarians, who had just experienced a high-intensity battle, marched towards Xiacang County as quickly as possible.
Xiacang County is not far from the county seats. With the foot power of the Heilu army, the slowest one only took less than half an hour to arrive.
The six-pronged army basically encountered no obstacles along the way. Even if there were obstacles, they were only small-scale harassment.
To them, this kind of harassment was nothing more than a small fight, and without much effort, the six-pronged army finally converged in front of Xiacang County City.
After a simple inventory of casualties, the number of troops currently available is close to 40,000 at full strength.
In front of them, less than a mile away, was Xiacang County City. This time, the six chiefs who gathered did not continue to attack like before.
Directly ordered to encircle Xiacang County City.
This kind of encirclement also has a tentative meaning. If the opponent counterattacks during the encirclement, they can immediately change their tactics and launch an attack.
Fortunately, the encirclement went smoothly. As long as we kept a hundred feet away, we wouldn't be in too much danger.
In this way, under the eyes of the six chiefs, Xiacang County was surrounded by Heilu.
Looking at the encircled Xiacang County City, the leader of the group was Shen Hui, followed by five chiefs and some guards.
Under the gaze of the army, they slowly walked towards the gate of Xiacang County City and stopped about a hundred feet away.
Send the message through the messenger.
"Xiacang County has been surrounded. Let your senior officials in Jiaozhou speak out."
The voice fell, and it was not arrows that responded to him. After a while, figures of people flashed one after another on the city wall. .
It's not that there are no long-range weapons that can reach a hundred-foot range. Ordinary arrows can't reach it, but the improved heavy ballistae can easily do so, which is more than enough.
The chief could also guess the reason why he did not take action. Now that their Heilu army is approaching the city, it has become an encirclement.
If you engage in some small things and plots at this time, it will only irritate your Heilu barbarians.
The importance of the six chiefs in the hearts of the barbarian Heilu is no less important than that of Su Qi'an in the hearts of the natives.
Once the six chiefs were in his
Being killed in front of them will only make them burst into stronger combat power.
Being able to surround them with their own armies, these senior officials in Jiaozhou were definitely not simply trying to assassinate them. They should have a bigger purpose.
On the city tower, as figures appeared, the great chief glanced around. He had seen some of the top officials in Jiaozhou.
Like Huo Cheng, Huang Wenyan, and Wu Yong, more or less, they all have a relationship with each other.
But this time, there was a young man standing among them. Although there was a distance, the chief could still feel the respect of the people in Huo City.
His eyes flickered, he hesitated for a while, and then he seemed to have guessed something and said, "Could this be the person in power in Jiaozhou, the Marquis of Dongshan who overthrew Li Kang?"
Being recognized by the chief at a glance was not surprising to Su Qi'an. He nodded and said nothing.
"Haha, after I learned about the name of Dongshan Marquis, I thought it was like thunder. When I saw him today, he turned out to be a talented person."
The chief's words would not be surprising if he were speaking normally or anywhere else.
But it was a battlefield right now, and there was a danger of war at any time. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that the chief was an admirer of Su Qi'an.
"The strength of Barbarian Heilu is indeed well-deserved. When I saw it today, I was also surprised. Let's give the chief a chance. If the chief can lead his people to surrender and submit to me, I will definitely let you all live. "
As soon as these words came out, the five chiefs behind him all had strange looks on their faces.
If it weren't for the fact that the chief didn't speak, they would have ridiculed Dongshan Hou.
Are these Jiaozhou senior officials not clear about the current situation?
Surrounded by their army, as long as the chief gave an order, they would die. This Dongshan Marquis dared to say such idiotic words. They all doubted whether this man had a brain.
Su Qian's words surprised the chief, but he quickly recovered and said with a slight smile.
"Oh, I would like to ask if Dongshan Hou has the confidence to think that we can only surrender and surrender? Could it be that your support is this Xiacang County City?"
Su Qian smiled and said, "That's not true. How about I make a bet with the chief?"
"What's the bet?"
"The bet is that it will take about a quarter of an hour at most. You, the great chief, have no way to escape and will have no choice but to surrender and be captured."
