Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 310
The huge momentum of the Northern Border Army made Tie Kun feel powerless. From the initial information and the fights these days, he only thought that Gongsun Xu's side would not exceed 6 people. Judging from the momentum, this was obviously played by Gongsun Xu again.

These days, Tie Kun has carefully calculated the loss of troops for Gongsun Xu's side. His side's continuous attack on the mountain, plus the losses caused by the fire at the beginning, add up to Gongsun Xu's side. More than 5000 people have been lost. If the wounded soldiers are added, there must be 8000 people.

In Tie Kun's view, a wounded soldier is equivalent to waiting to die. Even if he is slightly injured, he may die. This is a grassland. He knows the climate here better than anyone else. If he is not careful, the wounded soldier will easily get hot. , contracted the disease, struggled for a few days and couldn't hold on.

Even the Xiongnu athletes who have adapted to the grassland climate cannot avoid such a fate. Therefore, Tie Kun is sure that the losses of the Northern Xinjiang Army these days are no less than 5000 people. More than 2000 war horses.

Only two to 3000 people died in battle, and the rest died because they were not treated in time or could not be treated. It was a heavy loss.

Even if Gongsun Xu wants to lead an army to attack him now, wouldn't he leave people to defend the camp?In any case, 9000 or 4 people must be left. That is to say, even if Gongsun Xu uses the forward selection army, there are only more than [-] people who can be used to attack him.

But is this the case?The drumbeat of the opponent's infantry and the marching footsteps of the formation told Tie Kun that there were no less than 3 infantry alone, and the cavalry behind the infantry was very dazzling. Tie Kun had already seen their torches, that is, It is said that there are at least 4 people in the frontal enemy army, and the selected front army is not included.

Tie Kun didn't even have time to think about where to choose the forward army. He couldn't figure out how Gongsun Xu could still have so many troops in his hands. Could it be that he was deceived again, or that Gongsun Xu had always had an absolute advantage , but it doesn't show up?
In many cases, self-confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is arrogance, which is definitely a bad thing.

Tie Kun thought that his calculations were not wrong, but he did not know that the Northern Xinjiang Army did lose some troops. In the process of confronting the Huns head-on, nearly 3000 infantrymen of the Montenegro Army died in battle, and cavalrymen of the Montenegro Army also died in battle. Close to 1000 people.

There are 7000 lightly and seriously wounded, and nearly 2000 of them were burned by fire. Tie Kun expected that these people should have gone to see the King of Hades long ago. Unfortunately, Tie Kun did not understand the logistics system of the Northern Border Army. , and even more incomprehensible that Gongsun Xu sent a large amount of medicine to the princes of the world for the Northern Expedition.

Bingzhou under the rule of Gongsun Xu, Youzhou under the management of Gongsun Zan, and Liaodong and Sanhan, which are secretly controlled by Gongsun Xu, all have mature drug processing systems. These places can process the purchased drugs into drugs with better curative effect.

These are all military secrets, even as secret as the craftsman camp in northern Xinjiang. As early as a few years ago, Gongsun Xu had recruited many alchemists, doctors and other scholars who had researched medical skills from all over the country, and then Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Under the leadership of Tuo, these people specialized in research for a long time, and finally developed a special medicine for treating typhoid fever.

Then, under the guidance of Gongsun Xu, they successively developed medicines such as gold sore medicine, which can be produced in large quantities and are relatively cheap. The advent of these things made this Gongsun Xu's army different from other troops in the world.

In the era of cold weapons, once some soldiers were seriously injured, they were basically sentenced to death.Not only are the superiors unwilling to expend great efforts to treat these unlucky people, but even their comrades may want to give them a ride. If it becomes a plague, no one will survive.

Therefore, even after a fierce battle, hundreds or thousands of people on both sides actually died in the battle. However, there may be at least a few thousand soldiers who died of serious injuries or contracted cold and other diseases after being injured.

The backwardness of medical conditions and the unsoundness of the medical system have caused such a tragedy.After Gongsun Xu took over the army, he tried to change this situation. Fortunately, his efforts were rewarded. At least, his subordinates did not have to suffer from wounds and diseases like other troops.

Of course, not to mention Tie Kun, even the other princes in the Central Plains don't know about all this. How could they be willing to spend so much material and financial resources to do such a thing?In their eyes, what is a soldier, what is the life of a soldier?
At this moment, Tie Kun gradually recovered from the shock. Although the offensive and defensive sides changed positions, it was a bit difficult for Tie Kun to accept, but the facts were in front of him, and he could only bite the bullet. Infantry were better at defending camps or Fortified cities are also better at attacking cities.

Gongsun continued to dispatch [-] infantry, which was enough for Tie Kun. He immediately ordered [-] soldiers to dismount to defend the camp, and the rest mounted to prepare to break through. Tie Kun didn't know if he could hold the camp, but he understood, He may not be able to complete the orders Shan Yu gave him.

In the current situation, Tie Kun finds it difficult to lead 4 people to hold the opponent until dawn.

At the front gate of the camp, Gongsun Xu commanded the infantry to attack in an array. A set of equipment for attacking the city and pulling out the village was placed in front of the formation. A simple stone throwing machine had been made. Causing waves of panic and screaming.

It was the first time for Tie Kun to see this kind of tactic. The Northern Xinjiang Army was able to throw in these spherical objects made of wood and bamboo strips. These objects were filled with flammable materials such as thatch and saltpeter, and each weighed less than ten catties. After being thrown in, most of them couldn't bear the impact and immediately collapsed, causing a big fire.

In fact, these fireball-throwing things are not considered stone-throwing machines at all. This is just a launcher that can’t be simpler than adding a piece of wood on top of two wooden frames, and then using manpower to pull and then throw it. The weight of the fireball fired for the first time should not be too heavy, otherwise it will not be thrown.

However, the advantage of this kind of thing is that it can be made temporarily. Although it cannot throw huge boulders to cause huge damage to the enemy, it is enough to have these fireballs.In this dark night, it would be nice to be able to set the enemy camp on fire.

The thousands of Xiongnu soldiers guarding in front of the camp gate felt that they couldn't hold on anymore. The wooden camp gate and fences were all on fire, and the enemy's bows and arrows were also focusing on their side.

War horses were already afraid of fire, so Tie Kun had to come down and keep his cavalry away from the burning place. The Northern Army hadn't formally attacked, so he couldn't rush to break out of the siege for the time being.

Finally, the obstacles at the gate of the camp could not withstand the fire, many places were burned, and the gate of the camp fell down. The infantry of the Northern Xinjiang Army saw the timing, and the first 2000 men with swords and shields carried shields in their hands. Under the command of the generals, they attacked forward.

Then, a thousand sword shields protected a thousand archers to move forward, and the attack is now the beginning. The Huns lost their support and cover, and they could only bite the bullet and block the attack of the northern army. However, such chaos How long can the Xiongnu soldiers last.

In order to intensify the offensive, in order to break through the enemy camp in one fell swoop, Zhang Yan in front of the formation commanded two thousand shieldmen and one thousand archers to advance. However, this time, he and his three hundred soldiers also joined them. Offensive ranks.

Soon, in waves of attacks by the Northern Xinjiang Army, the Hun soldiers at the forefront finally couldn't bear it anymore. The Northern Xinjiang Army was well-equipped and knew how to cooperate with each other when attacking. In addition, Zhang Yan led his own soldiers to open the way. , Hun soldiers suffered heavy losses.

In order to lose the game, Tie Kun immediately ordered another 5000 people to come forward to support them. The two sides fought together. The pikemen went up to expand their positions.

In the front camp of the Xiongnu camp, nearly 2 soldiers from both sides fought together. It was difficult to distinguish the enemy from the enemy in the dark.

In order to expand his advantage, Gongsun Xu sent another 3000 people to suppress the enemy. Tie Kun understood that if he could not hold the enemy for more than an hour, he would have no chance to break through. It can only be to find a murderous disaster.

But, will Gongsun Xu give him a chance?Gongsun Xu added troops to the battle circle again, and Tie Kun had to put all his troops on the battlefield except Shanyu's personal guards. Since the battlefield was in the camp, it was not conducive to the cavalry charge at all.

Many Xiongnu soldiers would rather get off their horses and fight on foot with the northern Xinjiang army. They could not show their bravery on the horses at all. There were fires all around, and the horses were easily disturbed. The Huns warriors were also miserable.

At this point in the battle, Tie Kun's sense of powerlessness is getting stronger and stronger. There are still 3 enemy troops who have not used them, but there are only less than [-] Shanyu's personal guards left on his side. If there is no turning point, Tie Kun can only forcefully break through.

Finally, Gongsun Xu pressed the last [-] infantry, and the advantage of the northern army was expanded again. The Huns were beaten back steadily. Tie Kun had no choice but to send Shanyu's personal guards to attack.

However, there was a different kind of horn sound in the opponent's position. Tie Kun heard that this was the charge signal of the frontier army when they went out to battle, and he was even more flustered. His killing move.

It's obviously too late to regret, and Tie Kun also knows that there is only so much he can do. The opponent's front-running army has been recharging their energy for a long time, and it is not at all able to compete with him. Even Shan Yu's personal guard, I am afraid It doesn't matter anymore.

A series of torches appeared behind the Huns' camp, and the sound of groups of cavalry running could be heard. Even a fool could tell that the forward troops were going around behind the enemy's rear to attack.

Tie Kun didn't want to delay here any longer, he had tried his best to carry out Shan Yu's order, and now it was time to run for his life.

Seeing that there were more than 5000 Shanyu's personal guards around him, Tie Kun felt that he still had a little bit of confidence. He waved his weapon and shouted to the rear: "Fight the enemy, soldiers, go."
