Chapter 116: Three Thousand Flying Horses Ride Into the Prairie (2)
"Zilong hurry up and get on the horse, follow me to see Bingzhou Erlang." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir." Zhao Yun got on the horse and shouted, and the five hundred white horses rode forward, but they were also quite powerful.
Lu Bu on the side also nodded slightly, Bai Mayi has never been the most elite cavalry under Gongsun Zhan, from the perspective of horsemanship, the strength of each cavalry is not weak, but compared with the flying cavalry equipped with stirrups and horseshoes, the gap is still a little big, this is the advantage brought by the leading equipment.
The horsehoe and the ground contact, by the friction of the ground, the corrosion of the water, will quickly fall off, the nail horsehoe is mainly to delay the wear of the horse's hooves, the use of the horseshoe not only protects the horse's hooves, but also makes the horse's hooves more solid to grasp the ground, which is very beneficial to riding.
"Zilong can come, and General Ben has increased his chances of winning by three points."
"Lord Lu has praised it, and the fierce generals under the command of the adults are like clouds, and it is naturally not a problem to defeat Xianbei." Zhao Yun said modestly.
The flying cavalry general was very useful when he heard this, and his gaze at Zhao Yun also became kind, as the most elite cavalry in Bingzhou, every cavalry is naturally proud, and the most important thing they lack is the belief in victory, what about Xianbei people.
"Zilong, raid Xianbei, do you have a good plan?" Lu Bu values Zhao Yun very much.
Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the Xianbei people live as nomads, and the people of the tribe can fight on horseback, and here is close to the central part of Xianbei, under the command of Kebi Neng, Kebi can occupy the royal court, with more than 10,000 cavalry, it is the most powerful of the three Xianbei departments, if Kebi can withdraw the army, the threat of the Xianbei people is much smaller." ”
"Well, Zilong's words are yes." Lu Bu's face sank, "The Xianbei people invaded the Han realm, the men who crossed the wheel were killed, the women looted, and the blood shed by the Han people required the Xianbei people to pay a greater price." ”
"The generals obey the order, but if they encounter Xianbei people, they will all be killed, and they will not be left alive." Lu Bu said in a low voice, cruelty is not his wish, but the blood of the people under his rule cannot be shed in vain, if there is mercy in the face of the enemy, it will only be himself who will be hurt.
Zhao Yun's face was also a little cold, he had already heard of the Xianbei people's treatment of the Han people, and there was no resistance to Lu Bu's decision-making, if it was not my race, his heart would be different, and he could not have any mercy towards the Xianbei people.
"No!" Everyone said in unison.
"Order the scouts, inquire about the surrounding news, and report it immediately once a Xianbei person appears." Lu Budao.
The Yanmen was closed, and there were many soldiers lying horizontally, covered in blood, and Xiao Yan, who had a cold face, looked at the Xianbei people who slowly retreated outside the pass, and his face showed a solemn look, the Xianbei people's attack this time was much more fierce than in previous years, and the soldiers attacked for a day and a night, and the soldiers were exhausted, so they lay down directly on the gate to rest, at this moment, even he couldn't tell which of these soldiers could still stand up.
It has been more than ten years since the town guarded Yanmen Pass, and there have been countless wars, and the Xianbei people only stopped outside Yanmen Pass in previous years, but they didn't expect this time to come to the real thing.
"General Cao, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Xiao Yan saw Cao Xing going up, and hurriedly greeted him and asked.
"General Xiao, I'm afraid it will take five days for reinforcements from Bingzhou to arrive." Cao Xuan said worriedly.
"Five days? The defenders of the Guannai are now only more than 5,000 people, and many soldiers are wounded, how can they block the attack of the Xianbei people? Once the Xianbei people break through the Yanmen Pass, what kind of massacre will the people of Bingzhou suffer? The more Xiao Yan spoke, the more excited he became, he was from Youzhou Daijun, and his family was poisoned by the Xianbei people when he was a child, and he planted the seeds of hatred when he was a child.
After more than 20 years in the army, I have seen too many Xianbei people, the spark of hatred has become a raging flame, but unfortunately the court is weak, even the military salary of the defenders of Yanmen Pass has not been paid for half a year, but none of the defenders of Yanmen Pass have left, their hatred with Xianbei people has reached an endless situation, and the tragic situation of the robes and the people stimulates every hot-blooded son.
Guarding Yanmen Pass is just to protect their homes from being plundered by the Xianbei people, which is the belief they have always adhered to.
"General Xiao, the Xianbei people's attack this time is too sudden, at this time, Yuan Shaotun troops in Jizhou are on the border, and there are no extra soldiers in Jizhou." Cao Xuan sighed.
"Now that Xianbei is in the realm, Yuan Shao still has the heart to attack and merge the state, he is really a scum, what a fourth world and three dukes, a hypocrite." Xiao Yan scolded.
Cao Xuan nodded and said, "Your Excellency has already sent General Gao Shun to lead 10,000 reinforcements to Yanmen Pass, and you only need to hold on for five days." ”
Xiao Yan also knew that the situation in Bingzhou was critical, he didn't have a good impression of the state pastor's office, he was a border guard, and he didn't obey the orders of the state pastor's office, but he was still very moved that the state pastor's office could send reinforcements.
"It's time to eat." The soldiers opened their sleepy eyes, and the happiest thing for them now was to sleep beautifully after eating.
Xiao Yan had tears in his eyes, those soldiers who were still lying on the pass could no longer wake up, more than 7,000 soldiers in Yanmen Pass, under the attack of Xianbei for half a month, lost more than 2,000 people, watching familiar faces being carried down the pass, his heart was very uncomfortable.
The Xianbei people who besieged the city paid a greater price, the Xianbei people were not good at attacking the city, although the number was large, as long as the food, grass and ordnance in the pass were sufficient, it was difficult for the Xianbei people to attack the city, and now at least 8,000 Xianbei people fell under the pass.
Cao Xing was appointed by the state pastoral government to serve as the deputy general of Yanmen Pass, assisting Xiao Yan in guarding Yanmen Pass, and after the real contact, he deeply admired Xiao Yan's conduct, and there were more than 50,000 people in Yanmen Pass, half of whom fled all the way here because of the attack of the Xianbei people.
The horn of the Xianbei people sounded again, and the soldiers on the gate quickly ate the rice balls, picked up their weapons, and stared at the Xianbei people who were slowly approaching outside the pass.
"It's the Suri Ministry in the east." Xiao Yan's expression was a little relaxed, among the three Xianbei divisions, only the attack of Budugen, the western adult, was the most ferocious, Budugen was active in the Yanmen area all the year round, and the hatred with the Han people was the deepest, and after breaking through Yanmen, the benefits that could be obtained were the greatest, so every attack at Budugen was very strong.
Xianbei people lack siege equipment, siege only rely on ladders and rushing cars, Xianbei people with the spirit of not afraid of death to make up for the disadvantages of equipment, once the charge, no order, Xianbei people only know how to attack.
The Xianbei people are strong, and after attacking the city, with their personal bravery, they can let the Xianbei soldiers behind them climb the city wall, and it is still very difficult to defend the city.
Su Li looked at the department approaching Yanmen Pass with a calm face, the Xianbei three departments worked together to attack and merge the state, driven by interests, and he was the weakest of the three major tribes of Xianbei, every time he attacked, he would explain to his commander in advance, the attack did not need to be too violent, unlike the central and western Xianbei, among the eastern Xianbei, although Su Li's strength was the strongest, there were two other relatively large tribes in the east that affected his position in the east.
