Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 666 Ambush on all sides 2
It was dawn, and the soldiers on both sides didn't have much rest that night. The Huns retreated like a camp and had to defend against the northern army's attack.

Now is the time to risk your life, so even if you don't have a good rest, everyone is still struggling to go to their posts. The soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army may be more tired, but their morale is high. After a big battle, they finally defeated the besieged Hetao The month-old Huns, and more importantly, their general, returned safely, and brought back so many reinforcements.

Gao Shun was full of energy, and there was no trace of staying up late at all. Now he commanded his subordinates to block all the main roads. The Huns camp was very large, and Gao Shun refused to send all his subordinates out, so he could only go to the main road. Up and down.

At this time, the Xiongnu Shanyu was also trying his best to solve the predicament in front of him in the camp. Within a day, the situation changed drastically. He changed from the attacking side to the defensive side. Originally, his side had an advantage in strength, but now, the opponent The strength of the army is probably more than twice that of his own.

The appearance of Gongsun Xu completely reversed the current situation, and also broke all the arrangements of the Xiongnu Shanyu. Now, not to mention winning the Hetao, it is a question of whether he can leave here alive.

"Reporting to Shan Yu, the messenger sent to ask for help from the Xianbei army has been sent out." A man who looked like a general came in and reported: "The enemy army is deployed outside. If our army wants to kill it, I am afraid it will have to be sent out." It was a bloody battle.

Now the morale of the soldiers is low, and the battalion is full of wounded soldiers. Many soldiers are worried that they will lose. Shan Yu, look, do you want to calm down the emotions of the soldiers. "

"How many supplies are there in the camp, how many days can it last?" Xiongnu Shanyu did not answer the other party, but asked: "How many horses are left in our army? If we break through, how many soldiers can keep up?"

"Food and grass are not enough for ten days." Commander Wan replied: "There are still horses, at least one horse per person, but if we forcefully break through, nearly 4000 wounded soldiers may not be able to keep up.

Now there is a shortage of wound medicine in the camp, and the armor and weapons can't keep up.Gongsun Xu sent someone to release the news that our main camp and the tribe in the rear had been captured, and many soldiers were seeking to verify these two things. "

"Certification, what is there to prove." The Xiongnu Shanyu snorted coldly: "Now that Gongsun Xu has come back alive, how can our tribe be better? Now what we have to do is to defeat Gongsun Xu and save our people." .

No matter what, we can't be trapped here, pass on the order, and immediately gather people, we can break out now, and we can't be trapped to death by the other party. "

"However, Shan Yu, our army has been newly defeated and morale is low. If we forcefully break through now, the soldiers may not be able to survive." Commander Wan replied: "Also, the soldiers have not slept all night, and now their physical strength cannot keep up. ,,,,,,"

"We are tired, and the enemy army is even more tired." The Xiongnu Shanyu said angrily: "Comparatively speaking, now is the best time to break through. The enemy army must not have set up a defense. As long as we can break through the enemy's defense, they will be able to break through." Don't try to keep me.

Let the soldiers cheer up and break through now.We can't wait any longer, the northern army must be exhausted after a busy night, and Gongsun Xu is not strong, so it depends on who can hold on now. "

Half an hour later, the [-] Hun cavalry had assembled, and many of them got on their horses with their weapons before they even had time to eat breakfast.

This kind of desperate battle exhausted many soldiers. Looking at these demoralized subordinates, the Xiongnu Shanyu couldn't find any good excuses to encourage them.

"Get out and save the people."

With an order, the Xiongnu army began to break through, but when the forward troops had just rushed out of the camp, they discovered that the northern border army had already made arrangements. When they assembled here, Gao Shun had already mobilized troops to defend.

At the east gate, [-] Hun cavalry used sprinting tactics to repel the Northern Army at the gate of the camp. However, these Northern Army gathered together with shields and spears. They only defended and waited for the Huns to attack. Army to attack.

After seeing the [-] cavalry on his side charge out, the Xiongnu Shanyu was not in a hurry to send the rest of the soldiers to continue the attack. He hadn't figured out Gao Shun's arrangement yet, and if he attacked rashly, he might fall into the opponent's ambush.

Five thousand cavalry, running wildly is not too small, but the traps and trenches outside the Huns camp slowed down the speed of the cavalry, and many cavalry were tripped by traps such as horse pits.

The cavalry that cannot speed up has almost no impact. These Hun soldiers have to pay attention to the traps under their feet, but when they finally approached the northern border army's position for more than 100 steps, they found that the crossbowmen in the opponent's position had already begun to aim. .

"Send more troops and tear a hole." Xiongnu Shanyu finally ordered more troops to attack. He could see that the [-] cavalry on his side might not be enough to rush out.

The bloody battle of World War I has begun again, but can the Xiongnu break through the formation of the Northern Frontier Army only by relying on cavalry charges?Have they forgotten that the Northern Xinjiang Army is famous for its defensive counterattacks?Especially when facing these prairie cavalry, these soldiers of the northern border army can display extraordinary combat effectiveness.

"Send another two thousand crossbowmen." Gao Shun has come to the east gate to command the battle. As the defender, he is under a lot of pressure this time. It is not just the east gate that he has to defend. It is possible to feint to attack the east gate and break out from other passages, so he must grasp the main direction of the enemy's attack and not waste his troops.

"Shan Yu, if this continues, the brothers will die here." Commander Wan pleaded with Shan Yu, "Many brothers were dragged into the battlefield before they had time to rest. They were all going to die."

"It's just a question of sooner or later." The Xiongnu Shanyu looked indifferently, staring at the battlefield ahead and said, "Don't we die if we don't attack? Hehe, we will increase our troops by [-], and we must open the gap."

Another [-] cavalry charged. This time, it was a question of whether Gao Shun could stop it. The [-] cavalry stormed the east gate, and Gao Shun had not had time to mobilize troops.

"Tell Li Ru the truth about the situation on my side." Gao Shun looked at the overwhelming enemy army and said, "In addition, one thousand soldiers from each of the other three sects will be dispatched to defend. If anyone asks, just say it's my order." , the action of mobilizing troops should be bigger, and it is best to let everyone know."

The messengers quickly passed on Gao Shun's order. Immediately afterwards, the defenders at the gates of the other camps dispatched 1000 soldiers to come to the east gate. The door mobilized a lot of troops.

"Shan Yu, the enemy's reinforcements are coming again." Commander Wan rode back and said, "This is already the second batch of reinforcements from the enemy. Should we continue to increase our troops?"

"Five thousand more troops, attack fiercely." Xiongnu Shanyu nodded and ordered: "This time, you lead the charge, and you must tear a hole through the east gate."

The ten thousand commander ordered five thousand cavalry to kill them out. The east gate has almost assembled [-] troops from both sides. The cavalry and infantry are fighting together. Gao Shun also tried his best this time to block it. Attacked by the Huns cavalry.

"Let's go to the west gate." Seeing that his side had the upper hand, the Xiongnu Shanyu suddenly ordered: "Everyone, follow me and charge towards the west gate."

"Hmph, you dare to show off this kind of pediatric strategy in front of me." Seeing the enemy army disappearing behind the Huns, Gao Shun snorted coldly: "Whether you attack by force or feint, I will gather heavy troops to defend.

Perhaps, you still don't know how many troops I have here. If you want to break out, dream, no matter where you go, there will be surprises waiting for you. "

After more than an hour, the horn of the Xiongnu army camp sounded. The Xiongnu Shanyu, who had left more than 2 Hun cavalry and fled to Xiyingmen, returned to the center of the camp again with a group of defeated soldiers.

It wasn't that he didn't want to escape, nor was his strategy of attacking east and west unsuccessful.He did send his subordinates to contain Gao Shun, and let Gao Shun stay at the east gate to defend the more than 2 Huns cavalry.

But when he arrived at Xiyingmen, he realized that he had underestimated the opponent's strength.Who is Gongsun Xu, how could he give the opponent a chance to escape, unless his own strength is insufficient, otherwise, Gongsun Xu will definitely trap the opponent to death.

The Xiongnu Shanyu originally wanted to use a feint attack strategy to confuse the audience and disrupt the opponent's arrangement, so as to find the opponent's loopholes and then get out of the immediate predicament.

However, apart from Gao Shun's position at the east gate, Li Ru at the west gate was also directing the army to reinforce the position. The Xiongnu Shanyu saw that the position at the west camp gate was stronger than Gao Shun's, and he had no way to break through. meaning.

There are armies on the east and west, then only the south gate and the north gate are left.But when the Xiongnu Chanyu was surprised, a large number of cavalry were assembled at the south gate and north gate, judging from the number of no less than 2. They did not strengthen their positions, but the cavalry formed a charge formation. If this side dares to leave the camp, the opponent will definitely charge collectively.

"I didn't expect that Gongsun Xu would have so many troops." Xiongnu Shanyu sighed after failing to break through the encirclement: "I chose the wrong time to break through. Naturally, the enemy army is the most exhausted at this time, but vigilance is also important. When they were at their strongest, Gongsun Xu and Gao Shun were cautious people, so naturally it was impossible for me to break through."

After arguing for a long time, these soldiers of the Xiongnu army fought desperately with the Northern Xinjiang army on an empty stomach. In the end, they left thousands of dead and wounded soldiers and retreated. The breakout plan of the Xiongnu army failed.

"Report, my lord, the enemy troops are returning to the camp." A messenger walked into Gongsun Xu's tent and reported: "General Gao Shun and Li Ru's military division are still setting up defenses."

After looking at the sky, Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "After being busy for so long, the soldiers must be exhausted, let the reserve team go up, temporarily replace the frontline brothers to rest for a few hours, the enemy must also be very tired now , there will be no movement in a short time."

"promise."

"The reinforcements are coming soon, and things will be settled soon, hehe, the plan to besiege the Huns' army will soon succeed..."
