206.Chapter 206: Zhao Hu's Fire Attack Strategy

Just when Alopan ordered to prepare for another onslaught, Zhao Hu on this side made a slight movement and waved his hand at Xun Yu on the city gate, Xun Yu saw this and hurriedly said to Pei Yuanshao beside him: "Quickly blow the trumpet and let the archers be in place." ”

I saw Pei Yuanshao pick up the horn on his waist and blew it, and suddenly two rows of sergeants appeared from behind the 20,000 trapped camps and special forces. One row of people with longbows in their hands, and the other row of people with flints and steels in their hands were ready, and then Zhao Hu took out a red order flag and waved it, and the personnel in charge of lightening quickly knocked the flint in their hands, and the archers in the other row had already finished bending their bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows on the curved bow burned up when they faced the flints.

In an instant, rockets shot towards the black iron horsemen who did not dare to hurry because they were threatened by the trap, and those who were slightly hit by the arrow let out a groan of pain, but soon there were flames all around.

It turned out that these craters were surrounded by fire oil, and the surface was slightly covered with some earth, and when those rockets came into contact with the soil, the beating flames immediately ignited the fire oil below, and the fire spread rapidly, and the fire was burning fiercely in an instant, and soon trapped the 30,000 iron horsemen.

The fire that pervaded the scene was like a divine soldier harvesting the lives of these Wuhuan iron horsemen, and the trenches that Zhao Hu had ordered to dig before had also been covered. When the two armies went to the battlefield, Zhao Yu deliberately let the sergeants of the trapped camp and special forces as a cover. In fact, there were a large number of archers and soldiers in charge of firefighting buried underneath, so that when Na Aropan saw that Zhao Hu was only trying to block his 30,000 iron cavalry with some infantry, he immediately burst out laughing, and immediately ordered the whole army to assault, but he didn't know that there were thousands of archers hidden behind the 20,000 infantry, just waiting for those cavalry to throw themselves into the net.

Although the horses usually looked very arrogant and well-trained, as soon as they encountered the fire, they were frightened one by one, and ran around, and if they were not careful, they would fall into the pit. There were a few who were too close to the fire source and had already caught fire, and the horsehair burned more and more, and some of the war horses that were not long-eyed were frightened by the fire and were out of control, and they rushed directly towards Zhao Hu's side alone.

You must know that there are 10,000 trapped camps, 10,000 special forces and a large number of archers waiting here, and the cavalry trapped in the fire and unable to ignite the fire tried to find an exit to escape, but the way back has long been blocked by the fire. In fact, even if they were not sealed, these people could not distinguish the situation around them, and the smoke that filled them made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes. After a long time, many people fell to the ground because of the large amount of carbon monoxide absorbed, and many horses ran in the direction of the smaller fire or Zhao Hu with their own induction.

"Everyone, don't be nervous, let the enemy army mess up for a while and consume some more energy and physical strength before rushing to kill, if there are a few guys who don't have long eyes rushing over and killing them directly, if you can not hurt the horses, it's better, these are baby bumps." After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he showed a distressed pretend, and Gao Shun and Ji Ling on the side didn't dare to laugh if they wanted to.

After half a ring, the fire was almost burning, and most of the 30,000 iron cavalry had already been lost, so Zhao Hu said to Gao Shun and Ji Ling on both sides: "The two generals have to lead the army to rush and kill the enemy." ”

"In the end, the general will live up to the trust of the Taigong." Gao Shun and Ji Ling clasped their hands into fists and said together, and then each yelled at the soldiers behind them: "Soldiers, it's time for you to make meritorious contributions, kill me." ”

In an instant, 20,000 soldiers, under the leadership of Gao Shun and Ji Ling, rushed towards the Wuhuan cavalry of the lamb to be slaughtered in the fire cage, in fact, not all of the 30,000 Wuhuan iron cavalry were trapped, and only more than 20,000 were really trapped by the fire. The rest of the thousands of horsemen were left behind, and when the fire was ignited, they were lucky enough to be kept out of the fire. Thousands of iron horsemen followed Aropan's side, listening to the screams of their comrades on the other side of the fire, and their hearts were furious, these people wanted to come to the rescue, but they really had the heart but not enough strength.

When Gao Shun and Ji Ling led the trapping camp and special forces out to kill the enemy, the situation in the field had become a one-sided slaughter. The more than 20,000 Wuhuan Iron Riders did not have the slightest strength to fight back, and in the face of such a situation, Aropan felt that his future was ruined, even if he wanted to change the situation, but he did not have the ability. The fire ignited by this oil was beyond the ordinary water source, and there was no water source nearby, so he had to order a retreat, because once the enemy army had destroyed the cavalry trapped by the fire, they would come to besiege him, so it was important to save his life first.

When the trapped camp and the special forces completely killed and captured the two black iron horsemen, the fire slowly burned out, and what was left behind the fire was a cruel picture. Fortunately, these don't have to be cleaned by themselves, all of them are left to the soldiers who are responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and there are still many charred and dead bodies on the scene who are still screaming in pain.

Such a cruel battlefield made Zhao Hu's heart a little uncomfortable, and after seeing it, Lu Lingqi, who was attentive on the side, hurriedly comforted: "Father-in-law doesn't have to be merciful for this invader, if we can't fight these Wuhuan thieves with ferocious means, then they will bully our people and trample on our homes with a hundred times more brutal means than us."

"Well, I know, there's nothing for us here for the time being, let's go to the city first, and after the battlefield is cleaned up, I'll report to me." After speaking, Zhao Hu rode his horse and turned around and walked towards the city.

According to incomplete statistics, a total of 3,000 enemy horses were captured, more than 5,000 people were captured, and 17,000 enemy troops were killed. What especially excited Zhao Hu and others were the captured war horses, with which they could greatly increase the combat strength and number of our cavalry.

Under the killing intent of the trapped camp and the special forces, Aropan fled with thousands of Wuhuan iron horsemen, and ran for dozens of miles before encountering the slowly coming Wuhuan army. The commander of this Wuhuan army is the Wuhuan King Badun, who is the former Wuhuan leader, the slave of the Wuhuan Lord Qiu Liju, only because his Zilou class is young, worried that he will not be able to govern, so let the slave Zi Badun take charge of the three kings.

The leaders of the Wuhuan tribe are all called adults, and they are generally elected by democracy, rather than a hereditary system. When Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan before, he also secretly befriended these Wuhuan tribes, large and small, mainly feudal officials and relatives, the so-called blood is thicker than water, and when they are close, they are a family. When Cao Cao invited Zhao Yu to go to war with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao secretly sent a letter to Wuhuan to invite Wuhuan to march into Youzhou together, but many times the letter was intercepted, until Wuhuan heard about Yuan Shao's defeat, he hurriedly came to attack Youzhou to rescue, it can be said that he wanted to come back from the ashes.

"Arropan, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you command the battle at the front, and why did you flee with all this men? Could it be that there is a change in the war ahead? Seeing that Aropan was so embarrassed, the leader of the Wuhuan tribe asked three questions in a row, which showed that he was very much looking forward to the results of the battle.

Aropan rolled off his horse with a puff and cried bitterly: "Returning to the king, our army is bravely attacking the city, but the general who defends the city of Nayang Lecheng is extremely brave, and has set up a plan to trap the horse pit and the earth fire, so that my 30,000 iron horsemen will be destroyed in one fell swoop. The last general fought desperately to fight a bloody road, and took the rest of the soldiers and horses back to the king. ”

Looking at the thousands of iron horsemen behind Aropan who were smoky with a face of fire, Bandun was furious in his heart, thinking that Aropan's scramble to attack the city not only did not make meritorious contributions, but instead lost the face of Wuhuan and hit the morale of the army.

Suddenly he was furious in his heart and said: "Bastard, do you know that you have insulted the heart of my army, and you have completely lost 30,000 iron horsemen, come on, behead me." He suddenly shouted violently, and suddenly a sword appeared on the side behind him, and he slashed Na Luo Pan with a knife in his hand.

Looking at the thousands of defeated cavalry, he hesitated for a moment and shouted: "Pass my order, the whole army will set up camp, and order spies to be sent to check the movement of the enemy army in front." ”

In the meeting hall of Youzhou City, several dignitaries led by Zhao Hu were all present, and at the meeting, Pei Yuanshao first reported the results and losses of the battlefield, and then Xun Yu published an analysis of the war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although our army won more with less in this battle, and repelled the powerful iron cavalry that Wuhuan is proud of with its weak victory, this is only a prelude. According to reliable sources, Wuhuan's 50,000 iron cavalry has already set up camp fifty miles outside Yangle City, and this time the leader is Wuhuan King Badun, plus the thousands of cavalry who fled before. Imagine that in the future, these nearly 60,000 Wuhuan iron cavalry will invade our territory again, what is the best strategy. Xun Yu analyzed the problems before and after the war.

Just as everyone was about to discuss, suddenly someone outside the door rushed into the hall to report, it seemed to be an urgent military situation.

In the face of the emergency situation, Xun Yu was still worried, "What's the announcement?" ”

The man knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Returning to my lordship, according to the report from the Jizhou spies, General Zhao Zilong immediately withdrew from the battle of Jizhou after receiving the secret letter from the adults, and led our army to withdraw to Jizhou. When he was in Jizhou, due to the arrangement of Lord Tian Feng, General Zilong led 5,000 white tiger horsemen to Youzhou at full speed to support, and now General Zilong has entered the border of Youzhou, or it will be a long time before he will reach the front line of our army. Moreover, there is news from Jizhou that the lord has found a miracle doctor to diagnose and treat Guo Jia, but he lacks a miracle medicine, and now he has gone to Yizhou to find it. When Lord Tian Feng learned about it, he sent Dian Wei and General Gan Ning to Yizhou to support the lord, so he could not go to Youzhou to help. ”
