Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 641 The Queen 19
The main reason is that siege warfare can easily cause a large number of casualties, and the casualties are what the Hu people can least afford, because even though the Hu people have been a country for ten years, their total number now is only about 500,000. There are so many people... they can't afford to die.

That's why in the past, they would use the common people of Yan as cannon fodder to attack the city; but now, they have no cannon fodder and need to attack the city themselves, which is troublesome.

It's not that the Hu people are cowardly. In fact, they are a hundred times more brave than those in Dayan. In the cities captured by the Hu people in recent years, Dayan often dispatched tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to fight, but the results were always failures. The city was lost and all the people died, but in fact, these Dayan troops encountered not many Hu people, so the Hu people were very brave in fighting, and naturally they were not cowards afraid of death.

Although they had no cannon fodder, they still bravely attacked the city.

It's just... when they have an army of five thousand people - to the Hu people, five thousand people are already considered a large army. In fact, their five thousand elite soldiers and generals are more powerful than the fifty thousand soldiers of Yan - After a day of siege, there were hundreds of casualties. After the bastion was not damaged at all, they knew that things could not continue like this, because if it continued like this, too many of their warriors would die, which would be a pity. Got it! After all, it would not be a pity to die on a real battlefield, but to go to the countryside and rob people.

In fact, a bastion like this with nearly 10,000 people would require at least 100,000 people to defeat it, and a protracted battle would have to be fought to trap the people in the bastion.

With only five thousand people, they wanted to besiege the fortress with nearly ten thousand people. It can only be said that they underestimated the enemy.

They originally thought that the common people's bastion was easy to attack, but no one expected that these common people were not cowards, and felt that they were more powerful than Dayan's fat army - this was not normal. The soldiers of Dayan's army were deducted from their military pay. Who wants to fight for such an army? Once a war is fought, if you can win, you may still have to fight a few times. If you can't win, you will naturally run away to save your life. This kind of army that runs away is not easy to fight; but, in the bastion The common people are fighting for themselves. If they can't win, they will die. Who doesn't fight for it?

In other words, the primary purpose of fighting is to understand why you are fighting, because it is very important to have a goal, especially a goal that stands on the moral high ground, and everyone will fight for this goal.

The Hu people naturally have goals to strive for, that is, Dayan is so big and rich, but Dayan's army is so incompetent; and they Hu people, so brave, can only live in such a desolate and cold place, why should they? Also want to live in a good place.

The people in Dayan are stupid and do not deserve to live in such a good place. Such a good place should be given to brave and capable people like them.

But... no matter how brave they are, they can't defeat them. They will suffer hundreds of casualties a day, and then they don't have enough food and grass, so they don't dare to continue to hold on.

In previous years, they were not afraid. If there was no food or grass, they would provide food on the spot - that is, they would steal the food of the nearby people. If there was really no food, they would kill and eat the nearby people. In any case, they would not starve to death.

But now, there are bastions everywhere and they can't get food. They can't hold on any longer.

So after fighting for a few days, they found that they could not capture the fortress. Even if Dayan's group of fish belly were as timid as mice and did not dare to come to the rescue, they had no choice but to retreat on their own.

Although they knew that they originally wanted to break through a bastion and give Dayan's people and the new generals a warning, but it didn't succeed. I was afraid that it would only encourage their arrogance, and they had nothing to do, because, they We cannot account for all five thousand people here.

As a result, Dayan's bunch of rubbish, probably because they didn't win and suffered numerous casualties, thought they were easy to bully, so they dared to intercept them at this time.

Don't you hear that when the army returns, don't stop it? ! They are full of anger and have nowhere to vent their anger. If they don't kill these rubbish, they are not barbarians!
As a result, to their surprise, a group of big swallows and fish, all cavalry, came and harassed them for a while. After finding that they couldn't get any benefits, they ran away.

Naturally, they would not pursue him, because they had no food and had to go back quickly without any further delay. Unexpectedly, the group of giant swallows and fish kept harassing them, and when they tried to chase them, the group of trash ran away again.

Even at night, this group of people came to attack them. They made loud bangs of firecrackers, making it impossible to sleep. They also took advantage of the fact that they couldn't see clearly at night, and seemed to fire a hail of arrows at them, injuring some people. , it is really unbearable.

However, even if we wanted to fight, we couldn't because the riding skills of the opponent's cavalry were pretty good and it was not easy to catch up.

Even if they catch up, this group of people will hide in a nearby bastion, and they will be safe now.

But they did not dare to approach the bastion for fear of being shot by arrows.

This kind of harassment continued during the three days they were on their way back, causing them to lose some more people, especially those who were injured before. Because they didn't sleep well, many of their injuries worsened and eventually died.

After this matter was reported to the Huren Wangting, it made the Huren Wangting very popular. I thought, this new general seems to have two brushes - if Linlang can pull the people out of the town, After getting through Beiguan, of course, after getting to know each other, I found that this general was a bit powerful and had the talent to get through. He knew that the Yan army was weak and could not fight head-on, so he resorted to such an insidious and despicable trick.

This time the Hu people attacked the fortress in a large scale and suffered heavy casualties. The news of their return in defeat naturally made the Yan government and the public rejoice.

You must know that Dayan has been defeated again and again against the Hu people in recent years, and has lost many cities in the north.

Of course, based on what Linlang sent informants and the reports from the border officials, it was clear that the border officials were bragging about themselves and exaggerating their war reports.

Bragging about yourself and exaggerating the battle reports are two parts.

First of all, of course, we should brag about the bastion that the little emperor sent people to build. We should brag about how many and how good it is, so that the little emperor will be happy to see it.

Then they brag about how timely they rescued and how brave they fought - God knows, they didn't go to rescue at all. They just saw that the enemy was defeated, so they went to harass them and pick fruits.

Of course, they did cause some casualties, but compared with the casualties caused by the bastion, they were completely negligible.

Needless to say, the battle report was exaggerated, saying that the Hu people suffered casualties of 10,000 or 20,000 people - in fact, there were only 1,000 or 2,000 casualties.

Although the casualties of one or two thousand Hu people are already remarkable achievements in recent years, bragging about the casualties of one or two thousand Hu people is too exaggerated.

Although I knew that these people were exaggerating the battle reports, given that the newly appointed general dared to let his own soldiers go out to harass the defeated soldiers-even those cavalry, if they were not personal soldiers, their combat effectiveness would not be so strong-they falsely reported the results of the battle to him, Linlang didn't pursue the case anymore. Anyway, now that he had money, he could get rewards for so many achievements and give them to them.
