Chapter 550: Take Two Cities in a Row
It was precisely because the raid team blocked the Huns' counterattack with fearless courage and created conditions for the Yue cavalry battalion to enter the city, and their sacrifice was exchanged for a great victory for the Wei army, and their blood was not shed in vain.
It is precisely because of such a group of enthusiastic soldiers that the Pingbei Army will grow up rapidly, and their courage to be fearless in the face of danger and regard death as if they were at home will also inspire the soldiers of the Pingbei Army to move forward and be invincible in the next battle.
There will be casualties in war, but standing to death and kneeling to death is a difference after all, the head can be broken, blood can be shed, and morale cannot be lost, which has become the creed of the Pingbei Army.
Perhaps the establishment of the Pingbei Army was, in the eyes of some people, a joke, but Cao Liang turned the joke into a myth in just a few months.
To build a truly effective army, not only rely on piling up equipment, not only rely on training day after day and year after year, only after completing the baptism and training on the battlefield of blood and fire, can they truly transform into a hundred battles and invincible in the world.
By dawn, the battle had basically ended, except for sporadic battles in various places, some of the Huns were still resisting, and most of the rest of the Huns had already surrendered.
Some of the Huns escaped from the city, but Yanghu had arranged in advance, outside the four city gates of Qi County, there were ambushes of men and horses, the Huns came out to catch one by one, and two came out to catch a pair, and those who dared to resist were immediately killed, and basically no one slipped through the net.
Yanghu was so cautious in order to prevent the news of the loss of Qixian County from reaching Jinyang, so that Liu Meng, the right sage king of the Xiongnu, knew about it.
Although the bread in this paper can't hold the fire, Liu Meng will know about the loss of the old nest in Qi County sooner or later, but the later he knows, the more beneficial it will be for the Wei army, so Yanghu sent an infantry battalion to block the gate of Qi County and prevent the news of the loss of Qi County from leaking out in a short time.
As for how to deal with these surrendered troops, Yanghu sent Pegasus to inform Cao Liang, and also reported the situation of the battle to Cao Liang.
However, Cao Liang had already left the Zi clan at this moment and entered the Great Tomb smoothly.
The Western Route Army took Daling almost on the day that the Eastern Route Army conquered Qi County, the only difference was that the Eastern Route Army attacked Qi County in the early hours of the morning, and by dawn, the battle was over.
The Western Route Army did not launch an attack at night, and by the time the attack came, it was already three poles in the morning.
Because the road was relatively difficult to walk, although the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army set off at the same time, they still arrived at Daling City one step late.
When the Western Route Army arrived at the foot of Daling City, it had already passed the middle hour, and under such conditions, it was naturally impossible to launch a sneak attack like the Eastern Route Army.
The sneak attack will not be carried out until the night, the West Route Army of 5,000 men and horses, it is impossible to consume it like this, and this place is very close to Daling, and the possibility of being discovered by the Huns is also very great, if the Wei army is hidden in the suburbs of Daling, and is discovered by the Huns, it is better to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Huns to launch an attack and kill them by surprise.
Sure enough, the Huns didn't realize that the Wei army would suddenly attack at this time, and there was no warning in advance.
The Wei army's attack was well-prepared and went all out, and their offensive was very fierce, with crowds of people and arrows raining down, covering the city wall east of Daling.
Although the city gate of Daling has been in a closed state every day, the Huns' defensive consciousness has not yet been raised to a state of high alert and ready to fight, in the face of the sudden attack of the Wei army, the Huns are half a beat slower to react, so at the beginning of the battle, the Huns fell into passivity.
It took a short time for the stunned Huns to come to their senses, and they flocked to the eastern wall of Daling like crazy, desperately resisting the attack of the Wei army.
Don't see the fierce offensive of the Wei army, in fact, it was a feint attack adopted by Cao Liang, he deliberately made a big noise in the east of the city to attract all the attention of the Huns, which is why the Wei army looked menacing on the surface, but in fact it was thunder and rain.
After the feint attack from the east had attracted all the attention of the Huns, Cao Liang sent an elite siege force led by Wang Jun to attack from the west of Daling City.
This plan to attack the east and the west was carried out perfectly, the Wei army in the east of the feint with great fanfare, almost attracted most of the Huns' troops, and when the Wei army launched an attack in the west, the west gate of Daling was almost an empty city, only a few defenders, simply unable to resist the attack of the Wei army.
By the time the Huns realized that they had been scheming, it was already too late, and under the command of Wang Jun, the elite troops of the Changshui battalion quickly climbed the city wall, routed the few defenders, and opened the west gate.
And the tun cavalry camp, which had been waiting outside the city, rushed in and entered Daling City.
The entry of the Wei cavalry into the city meant that the battle was nearing its end.
In terms of combat strength, the central Xiongnu are indeed a lot worse than the left and right Xiongnu, and if the Eastern Route Army also adopts the same siege method, I am afraid it will be difficult to take Qixian so easily. The strength of the Xiongnu in the central part was a big difference, so when fighting with the Wei army, it seemed a little powerless, and the Wei army launched an attack from two sides, and they could only hold one side at most.
After the Wei army entered the city, the central Huns were even more unmotivated, scattered and fled, and when they found that there was no way into the heavens and no way to the ground, they began to disarm and surrender, after the cavalry camp entered the city, they almost did not suffer any strong resistance, everywhere they went, were the Huns who knelt and surrendered.
After Cao Liang entered the city, he also received a report from Deng Ai Yanghu Du that the Wei army captured two county towns in a row on the same day, which was indeed a double happiness.
After capturing Qixian and Daling, the Wei army had broken through the four lairs of the Huns, from the southern Xiongnu to the central Xiongnu, including the two most powerful left Xiongnu and the right Xiongnu, among the five Xiongnu, except for the northern Xiongnu in Jiuyuan, the other four fell into the hands of the Wei army.
After the two cities, the situation in front of Cao Liang suddenly became brighter, although it would definitely encounter a counterattack by the Huns, but this was probably the last attack of the Huns, and this last battle would completely decide the fate of the Huns.
