The speed of Karasuma's iron cavalry became faster and faster, and the rapid sound of horses' hooves gradually formed a huge roar from both ends of the battlefield, and the surging cavalry army roared like a flood that broke the embankment, roaring, pouring like a note, and the whole battlefield trembled with the violent shaking of the ground.

The Han army's iron cavalry did not move, they formed a dense formation in a conical shape, like two lions, quietly lying prone on the left and right flanks of the Han army's position, their eyes full of disdain. In their eyes, Karasuma Iron Rider seemed to them not to be a sharp weapon, but a dying and struggling livestock.

The Karasuma Iron Horse was approaching in an instant, and the two sides were a hundred paces apart, and the long arrows in the hands of the Karasuma people roared out.

＝＝＝

Xian Yu on the high platform stroked three locks of long beard with his auxiliary hand, and looked at the approaching Karasuma people, with a trace of anger and hatred flashing in his eyes.

"Order the tank battalion to attack."

The flag was waved, the horn sounded, the cones of the two wings of iron suddenly split in two, and the cavalry soldiers turned their horses and galloped away to the left and right. With the division of the iron cavalry, the chariot battalion ambushed in the iron cavalry formation suddenly came out. The crossbow carts were staggered in array, like a bloodthirsty beast waiting to be devoured, and suddenly opened its bloody mouth.

The Karasuma people were even more excited, they thought that the Han iron cavalry would not dare to meet them, so they set up such a huge chariot formation to block their own attack.

Xiao Shuai Yangdian shouted loudly: "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, tell the king that there is a chariot formation in front of him, tell him to attack the wings, and ...... quickly."

As soon as the horn was raised, the horn soldier saw a very terrifying scene, and suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar from the opposite car array, and countless crossbow arrows rushed into the sky at an unbelievable speed, shooting at himself.

In the blink of an eye, the crossbow bolt flew a distance of eighty paces and went straight into the galloping Karasuma Iron Cavalry. Like a giant who had been struck by someone from the waist, the Iron Rider stooped down sharply, then howled to the sky and fell with a bang.

The horn soldier only heard the sound of "buzzing ......", and then saw a galloping war horse suddenly lose control and fly up in the air and then fell to the ground, the iron knights on horseback were killed by arrows in batches, some were pierced by crossbow arrows and flew upside down, some flew out with the fallen war horses, some were nailed to the horseback, some were hit into the air by the war horses rushing up from behind, some were trampled into meat cakes, in just a moment, the cavalry soldiers in front of them and their war horses suddenly disappeared, It disappeared like air.

The hornmen stared dumbfounded, the roar of the horses filled with his ears, the roar of the crossbow bolts breaking through the air, the terrible howl before death, the cracking of flesh and bones of people and animals being trampled, he felt nothing, he forgot even fear.

Yang Dian, who was galloping wildly beside him, suddenly arrived, and the whole person flew into the sky, Yang Dian shouted helplessly in the air, and countless crossbow arrows shot him into a hornet's nest in an instant, and more crossbow arrows pierced his body, and bloodily shot into the bodies of the soldiers who followed.

A crossbow bolt "......" into the hornman's chest, pinning him firmly to his horse. He took one last look at the clear blue sky, felt a piercing pain permeate his body, and before he died, he finally realized that he had not yet sounded the horn.

＝＝＝

The Karasuma people died piece by piece, and there was no way to fight back. Every step they take comes at a staggering price.

The galloping Karasuma Iron Rider couldn't stop the impact for a while, and continued to run wildly, although the alarm horn sounded throughout the battlefield, they still stubbornly attacked, and died one after another under the dense crossbow arrows.

Zhang Chun was stunned, he saw that the Karasuma people were still rushing towards the car without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet again and again, waving his hand desperately and shouting: "Withdraw...... Order the Karasuma people to pull down......"

Qiu Liju, Wu Yan and Su Muyan were all in the army at this time to command the attack of the large army, and they did not know that their vanguard army had been bloodily slaughtered by the Han army's ballista. It is normal for the Han army to block its own attack speed with a fleet of vehicles and kill and injure its own soldiers with a dense array of arrows, and this is how it is to fight. If you withdraw in the face of such a fierce battle, what kind of battle will you fight?

They think that Zhang Chun is simply an idiot, blindly commanding. The two sides have not yet begun to contact, and they have to withdraw before the war has begun? In this state, how to withdraw? If the Han army is ready to take the opportunity to rush forward, the battle will be defeated.

"Ignore him." Qiu Liju waved his hand and said, "The Han army has a chariot formation, so we will attack both sides of the chariot formation. ”

"King, the Han army's arrow array is too dense, and the vanguard army must have suffered heavy casualties."

"If we withdraw, we will suffer more casualties." Qiu Liju shouted at his little marshal, "Order all departments to attack the two flanks of the Han army's chariot formation." ”

＝＝＝

The Han army distributed more than 1,000 ballistae on the left and right flanks of the battlefield, with the aim of taking the Karasuma Iron Cavalry by surprise. Now, their goal has been achieved, and the Karasuma people have not only suffered heavy losses, but have also been forced to temporarily change formations.

Xian Yufu looked at the battlefield on the left and right flanks, and nodded with great satisfaction, "Order the cavalry on both flanks, attack immediately, and slaughter the Karasuma people." ”

"Order the tank battalion, reload the crossbow bolts and prepare to attack again."

＝＝＝

The Hun cavalry saw the power of the ballista for the first time, and they were excited and a little frightened. In the past, they heard from their ancestors that the armaments of the Great Han Kingdom were very powerful, but they had never seen it with their own eyes, and they did not know how powerful the most powerful armaments of the Great Han Kingdom were. In their eyes, the Duliao Battalion is considered the elite of the Great Han Kingdom, but the Duliao Battalion has no special ordnance worth mentioning. Some old Hun soldiers have seen this kind of ballista in the pass of the Great Wall, but there are few crossbow cars on the pass, and they can't see how powerful it is. Today, they finally saw it, hundreds of ballistas were launched at the same time, and the earth-shattering power made everyone jaw-dropping.

If these ballistas were aimed in the direction of the Huns, would they still have a chance to live?

Liu Bao thought as he glanced at Li Hong beside him. This legendary figure of the Northern Frontier was holding a spear in his hand at this time, his expression was solemn, and he was looking at the Karasuma Iron Rider opposite him with full of murderous energy. The fates of the two have been closely linked since Li Hong swore on that day. One wins, one loses. He never imagined that fate would be so magical.

The drums of war beat. Li Hong suddenly looked back, raised his gun and shouted: "Whew...... Ho ......"

The black panther responded with one voice, roaring like thunder: "Hohoo...... Hohoo ......"

The Hun soldiers suddenly had their blood surging, and they all used all their strength to shout with them: "Hoho...... Hohoo ......"

"Kill ......" Li Hong kicked the black panther violently, and the war horse jumped out, "Kill the ......"

Eight thousand iron horsemen followed, like a roaring storm, sweeping away towards the Karasuma people.

On the left flank of the battlefield, Yan Rou, Jiang Wu and Nie Xiao rushed up with 12,000 iron horsemen rushing down the river, and they were unstoppable.

The two sides collided, and a bloody battle immediately began.

＝＝＝

In the right-wing vehicle formation, Commander Zhang He sat on his war horse with a calm expression, looked up at the long arrows whistling from the sky, and said to Yin Si with a smile: "After this battle, the chariot battalion should be famous all over the world. ”

Yin Si stared wide-eyed at the iron knight pawns rushing back and forth on the battlefield in front of him, and didn't pay attention to what Zhang He said, just nodded vigorously.

Zhang He smiled: "Zhong Zhi, it's not the first time you've fought a war, what are you nervous about?" Just smile, smile. ”

Yin Si barely pursed his lips, and his smile was more ugly than crying.

"Last time, my uncle and I hid on the top of the mountain, more than a hundred steps away from the battlefield." Yin Si said, "This time it's in the middle of the battlefield, I'll ......" Before he could finish his words, a long arrow roared in, so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind the chariot. Zhang He's spear was raised, and the long arrow flew sideways and fell to the ground.

"What are you running? It would be nice to fight a few more battles. Zhang He slapped him with a gun and said, "You are so smart, you can't die." After this ballista is transformed for you, it is much easier to use and more powerful. ”

"Brother Junyi, how many Karasuma people did we kill?"

Zhang He thought for a moment and said, "There are always three or four thousand." The Karasuma people are very strong, and not only do they not flee, but they attack even more fiercely. If we do it again, I won't believe we can't shoot them. ”

The soldiers of the chariot battalion turned a deaf ear to the fighting around them, and they nervously and busily filled the ballista with their crossbow arrows, preparing for the next round of shooting.

At this time, the left wing car formation had already taken the lead in loading the crossbow arrows. Zhang Xiao, who had been busy for a long time, wiped the sweat on his head and shouted loudly to the Lingqi soldiers: "Tell Lord Xianyu that the crossbow arrows are loaded." ”

＝＝＝

"My lord, the chariot battalion is ready." Song Wen reminded in a low voice.

Xian Yufu pointed to the middle assault army that was struggling to advance, and said loudly: "Order Lord Yan, shrink the formation, accelerate the attack, and quickly distance yourself from the left and right roads." ”

"Tell Lord Xianyu and Huada to retreat steadily."

"Order the chariot battalion to quickly move closer to the Chinese army and intensively shoot at the rebels' left and right sides."

The flag soldiers immediately sent out a continuous signal, and the war drums were also beaten intensively.

"Your Excellency wants to use the Iron Cavalry to attack the left and right sides of the rebels?" Song Wen asked.

Xian Yufu bowed slightly, he looked at the sun in the sky that was gradually moving westward, and said to himself: "It's already afternoon, why hasn't Lord Liu arrived yet?" Should Bew's cavalry also arrive? ”

"My lord, Lord Liu may have something to delay." Yu Peng said, "If they can arrive at this time and directly attack the flank of the rebels, we will win this battle." ”

＝＝＝

Zhang Chun saw that the Karasuma people rushed forward like crazy, entangled with the Han army's iron cavalry, and couldn't help but secretly admire their bravery. He asked them to retreat in a panic just now, which was indeed a taboo for soldiers, but fortunately the Karasuma people did not listen to them, they were familiar with cavalry warfare, and they still attacked with indomitable progress.

Suddenly, he found that the left and right sides of the Han army could no longer resist, and were gradually retreating, his army was advancing step by step, and the left and right sides of the army were about to be encircled, but he was not happy at this time. Due to the obstruction of the attacks on the left and right, the time for the encirclement was delayed, and the situation in the middle was very critical, and Liu Shi's army was soon to be broken through by the Han army. Although the two wings converged, the middle was broken through, and his own army could no longer form an encirclement of the Han army. Now, even if the Karasuma cavalry defeats the Han iron cavalry, it will not be able to save the situation.

Zhang Chun immediately had the idea of retiring from the army. When the battle is reached here, there is no hope of victory, so it is better to keep the peace. As long as you get out of the battlefield as soon as possible, today will be a draw.

"Order Xian Yuping on the left and Zhang Yuntian Qiang on the right not to continue the attack, immediately break away from the Han army, move closer to the middle, and strive to ensure that the Chinese army is not lost."

"Tell Liu Shi that the left and right armies will immediately rush to support and tell him to hold on a little longer."

"Tell the Karasuma people to attack a little harder and more fiercely."

＝＝＝

On the vast plains on the east and west sides of the battlefield, the cavalry on both sides became more and more fierce. Under the leadership of the Shangguan, the soldiers formed battle formations and rushed back and forth. The Qiang and Huns, the Karasuma people with bare heads, are all brave and good at fighting, and everyone fights bravely, only killing rivers of blood.

Liu Bao held a spear in his hand and stabbed left and right, and there was no one under his command at all, suddenly, the war horse was hit by an arrow, and fell to the ground, Liu Bao was caught off guard, and was lifted out of more than a dozen steps. A group of Karasuma people roared to kill, and Liu Bao's attendants were shocked and swarmed forward. Liu Bao jumped to his feet, and while running wildly towards the Karasuma people, he drew his sword in his hand.

The Karasuma people killed. Liu Bao was not afraid, soared into the air, cut down the enemy soldiers with a knife in his right hand, grabbed the horse's mane with his left hand, turned over and fell on the horse's back. At this time, several spears pierced from the left and right directions at the same time. Liu Bao didn't think about it, so he hugged the horse's neck and flew in the air.

The Huns killed from the left, and Li Hong took a few black panthers to kill from the right, and everyone fired swords and guns, and long arrows flew, and immediately killed a few Karasuma people.

"Thank you, General......" Liu Bao fell back on his horse and shouted loudly.

"If you die, the Huns won't have a big Danyu." Li Hong laughed and said, "Brother is such a clever equestrian ......"

Suddenly, he found something, and suddenly looked back and roared: "Wuyan, you stop for me......"

Wuyan, the king of Khan Lu, who passed by, looked back and was suddenly startled, it was a face that he didn't want to see the most, the leopard still had long hair that was scattered, and it was still so murderous, and it hadn't changed at all. Uyan kicked the horse's belly and ran away.

＝＝＝

The chariot battalions on the left and right flanks, under the command of Zhang He and Zhang Xiao, quickly moved the ballista and rushed towards the rebels' attacking army on the left and right.

"Brother Junyi, it's two hundred steps away from the rebels." Yin Si pointed to the battlefield in front of him and shouted loudly, "We can shoot." ”

"Fifty more steps." Zhang He shouted, "Shoot again when you see clearly, don't kill your own people by mistake." ”

Zhang Xiao on the left didn't care about this, he was already impatient, "shoot...... Intensive salvo ......"

The ballista trembled, and the bolts roared.

The rebel soldiers were caught off guard, and like leeks on the ground, they were cut down by sharp blades one after another, and in the blink of an eye a huge piece lay down. Zhang Yun, the rebel commander, was also shot into a hornet's nest and fell on the battlefield strewn with corpses.

The rebel soldiers were hit hard by this and immediately retreated like a tidal wave.

＝＝＝

After Yan Liang received the order to accelerate the attack, he immediately let Gao Ran command in the center, and he led the guards to the front.

The Lord will not be afraid of life and death, and will take the lead and take the lead, which greatly boosts morale. Fighting side by side with the world-famous Lord Hutou Yan, not only Gao Shun and Li Yun felt honored, but even the other soldiers were also enthusiastic, full of infinite strength. The speed of the assault increased suddenly.

Liu Shi saw that he couldn't resist it, and he personally rushed up with the personal guards. But he was unfortunate and met Yan Liang. Yan Liang's big knife flew, no one could stop him, and he went down with three knives, and immediately cut down seven people. Liu Shi retreated sharply, and the guards around him also desperately came to the rescue, but at this time, no one could stop Yan Liang, who had already killed the red-eyed Yan Liang. Yan Liang stared at the huge eyes, roared angrily, and attacked with all his strength, he slashed three people in one breath, and then volleyed Liu Shi into two.

The army in the middle lost its main general, and there was a great chaos, and the soldiers were even more exhausted after several hours of fierce fighting, and the entire defense collapsed in the blink of an eye.

Yan Liang raised his big knife and roared wildly: "Brothers, kill the Chinese army and slaughter Zhang Chun......"

"Kill the ......" The morale of the Han sergeants was like a rainbow, and they shouted loudly, rushing towards the Chinese army and the rebel army like a tiger out of a cage.

＝＝＝

There were only 3,000 people guarding the Chinese army, and under the command of Zhang Chun, they had already gathered under Daxu and lined up in dense formations.

Liu Shi died, the army of the middle route collapsed, and at the same time, the left and right armies were also attacked by the heavy ordnance of the Han army and were retreating in disarray. Defeat is decided.

Zhang Chun smiled miserably, waved his hand and shouted: "Order the officers and men of the Chinese army to resolutely block the enemy's attack and protect Daxu." ”

"Let Xian Yuping and Tian Qiang do their best to prevent the soldiers from escaping, and lead their troops back to the Chinese army."

"Order the Karasuma Iron Cavalry to immediately withdraw the Chinese army."

＝＝＝

Xian Yufu saw Yan Liang leading his troops to break through the rebels' middle blockade, he happily raised his hands and cheered, and shouted loudly: "Order the iron cavalry on the left and right wings, break away from the Karasuma people, and immediately attack the rebels' left and right armies, and kill the rebels' foot soldiers." ”

"Order Lord Xianyu and Lord Hua to immediately move closer to the chariot battalion to prevent the Karasuma people from attacking the chariot battalion."

At this time, Song Wen received a message from the herald, hurriedly ran up to the wooden platform, and shouted excitedly: "My lord, Lord Liu's army has arrived." ”

Xian Yufu turned his head abruptly and asked eagerly, "Direction?" ”

"They are on the west side of the battlefield, right on the enemy's flank." Song Wen said excitedly, "Did you order Lord Liu to immediately lead his troops to attack the enemy's Chinese army?" ”

"Attack now."

"Tell the chariot battalion to get ready, and as soon as the Karasuma people catch up, shoot them immediately."

＝＝＝

Li Hong, Liu Bao, Nie Xiao, and Jiang Wu each led their men and horses to retreat while fighting, and leaned towards the middle of the battlefield.

Qiu Liju heard the order to retreat and hesitated. Wuyan and Su Fuyan did not hesitate to turn around and run, and suffered heavy losses today, and if they continue to fight, the Karasuma Iron Cavalry will be gone.

"King, the Han army is small, the losses are heavy, and it can't be supported anymore." A red-eyed handsome man pointed at the Han army retreating westward, and said angrily, "Let's catch up, kill him for a while, and then rush directly to the Chinese army to assemble." ”

"Kill ......" Qiu Liju didn't hesitate anymore, raised his spear and pointed forward, and shouted wildly: "Kill me with me......"

＝＝＝

Liu Yu's army finally arrived.

10,000 foot soldiers slaughtered the battlefield with overwhelming force. Gongsun Chan's cavalry rushed to the front, and the majestic Hakuma Yi slashed at the retreating Karasuma people. Wu Yan and Su Fuyan were taken aback when they saw Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry suddenly appear on the battlefield, and hurriedly led their soldiers to gallop in the direction of Jicheng and fled for their lives.

Li Hong and Liu Bao led the iron cavalry to chase after the rebels' retreating army on the left, slashing and slaughtering at will. The rebels' left-hand soldiers were scattered, and they fled. The rebel general Xian Yuping led a few of his own soldiers to slash and kill the fugitives, trying to stop the soldiers from escaping, but the army's morale had been lost, and killing more fugitives would be useless. Soon, he was also carried by the deserters and began to turn around and flee, Xian Yu panicked, and before he could run far, he tripped over the corpse on the ground, and then was trampled to death by the surging crowd.

Qiu Liju led the department to chase wildly. Nie Xiao and Jiang Wu led him to the front of the chariot camp with a large army.

When Zhang Xiao saw that the Karasuma people were coming again, he happily pulled off the battle helmet on his head and smashed it to the ground, "Shoot, shoot ...... me"

The Karasuma people were once again devastated, and thousands of them were blown down like straw by a raging hurricane without a defense. Qiu Liju flew out of the sky, turned around and ran away with the army.

＝＝＝

Zhang Chun watched his army on the right scatter under the trampling of the iron hooves of the Han army, and the soldiers of the army on the left had already become deserters, and now they were running for their lives on the plains, and the Karasuma iron cavalry on the left and right flanks had fled without a trace at this time.

Zhang Chun sighed, and under the escort of his own soldiers, jumped on the war horse, took one last look at the battlefield, and rode away.

The rebels collapsed with a bang.

"Order the cavalry of all divisions to return after five miles of pursuit." Xian Yufu finished the last military order, and then looked up at the sky.

The sun is setting, and the remnant sun is like blood.

＝＝＝

Li Hong and Xian Yufu led the generals of various departments to meet Liu Yu. Liu Yuxi smiled and helped them up one by one.

"People, you are the general of Zhenbei, there is no need to make this big gift again." Liu Yu said with a smile, "The matter of counterinsurgency in Youzhou depends on the general." ”

Li Hong bowed respectfully and said, "Everything is at the command of the adults." ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Zimin, this is a bad word. You are the general of Zhenbei, in charge of the military affairs of the three states and two counties, and of course you have the final say in the counterinsurgency. He pointed to the generals standing around and said, "These soldiers under my command are now under your command, and they can be recruited at your will." ”

After Gongsun Zhan, Tian Kai and other Youzhou officers heard this, the smiles on their faces were a little unnatural. Three years ago, they were Li Hong's superiors, but now Li Hong has become the general of Zhenbei and has become their superiors. Gongsun Chan looked at his old friend Xian Yufu and was very emotional. Xian Yufu is now a lieutenant general, and even Tian Chong, a veteran who used to guard the gate in Wuzhong City, is a captain. If he had stayed in Xiliang and fought side by side with Li Hong, he would at least be a middle-class general now. Military merit, without military merit, even if you have a backstage, you can't buy General Zhenbei.

Li Hong hurriedly thanked him. Then he and Gongsun Zhan, Tian Kai and others exchanged pleasantries.

"When I arrived in Xiliang, I thought I could be with Brother Bo Jue, but I didn't expect you to come back." Li Hong said with a smile, "This time back to Youzhou, we must have a good gathering, I have a treat." ”

Gongsun Chan smiled: "Okay." When we get to Jicheng, we will go to the old place and get drunk. ”

＝＝＝

When Li Hong returned to the camp, Zhu Mu, Song Wen and others had already counted the casualties on both sides.

Li Hong looked through it and asked Zhu Mudao: "Brother Gongding, are you fighting with Xian Yu Yinbu, are you enjoying killing?" ”

Zhu Mu smiled: "Thank you, sir." Next time it's the same, as long as there is a war, I will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the adults must not leave me behind. ”

"Just this once, there's no next time." Li Hong smiled, "If something happened to you, how can I explain to Zhong Yuan and Xiao Lan." The next is not an example. ”

"My lord, then you ......"

Li Hong looked at him, shook his head and smiled helplessly.

In this battle, the Han army lost more than 8,000 foot soldiers and more than 5,000 cavalry. The rebels suffered more than 20,000 casualties, 12,000 cavalry, and more than 20,000 prisoners, and the rest of the rebels fled back to Jicheng.

The 30,000 infantry corps suffered great losses except for the chariot battalion, and Gao Shun's Hanoi soldiers were almost finished, and if we add the 3,000 people lost in the attack on Changping City and the 1,000 people lost in the encounter outside Jicheng City, the army lost more than 12,000 elite infantry soldiers in just a few days after entering Juyong Pass. If the 5,000 men of the chariot battalion are deducted, there are only more than 13,000 non-commissioned officers in the fifth battalion.

"If it weren't for the tank battalion this time, our losses would have been even greater." Xian Yufu put down the scroll and sighed, "I want to reward the chariot battalion heavily." ”

"There is a serious shortage of foot soldiers right now." Zhu Mu said worriedly, "Master Liu only has 10,000 foot soldiers there. With more than 20,000 people attacking Jicheng, it will definitely not be able to take it in a short time. ”

Li Hong thought for a moment and asked Zheng Xindao: "Shouyan, does Zilong have any news to deliver?" ”

Zheng Xin shook his head, hesitated, and said, "I just received a report from a scout that Lucheng has been recaptured by the rebels. ”

Xian Yufu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Is this news accurate?" ”

"Exactly." Zheng Xin said, "The scouts said that the rebels have built a pontoon bridge over the Gushui River. ”

"My lord, send cavalry to Lucheng and Yongnu City overnight to block the enemy's retreat." Song Wen said anxiously, "Once Karasuma Iron Cavalry is allowed to flee back to Liaoxi and Liaodong, the matter of counterinsurgency will be delayed for a long time. ”

Li Hong looked at Xian Yufu and said, "Tomorrow, you and Yan Rou will take the cavalry battalion of Nie Xiao, Jiang Wu and Liu Bao to Lucheng." ”

"If Zilong leads the army back to attack Lucheng again, what will Yongnu do?" Xian Yufu asked.

Li Hong sighed: "It's impossible to eat them in one bite. The Karasuma people still have 28,000 iron horsemen, and they are superior to us in terms of strength, and they can't be stopped if they want to. Even if we block Lucheng and Yongnu, the Karasuma people can still take Yuyang back to Saiwai. ”

"My purpose in letting Zilong go to the east of the Gushui River is nothing more than to force the enemy to fight. Now that the battle has been fought, our goal has been achieved. Now that Zhang Chun's rebels are running out, even if he escapes to Feiru, he will only survive and barely support himself for a while. Without the support of the Karasuma and Xianbei people, he would have perished sooner or later. ”

"Zilong has done a good job, now it doesn't matter if he is in Yongnu anymore, the important thing is that he doesn't attack Lucheng again. If he loses his troops in order to attack a city that makes no sense, I will not spare him. ”
