Chapter 218: Tonight, Fight Back (Ask for Subscription)
When Mo Xiaobai saw the Hongyan handbook sent by the rattan armor soldiers, he and the fat man and others were grabbing a few hu cakes and stuffing them into their mouths.
Tearing off half of the flatbread in one bite, Mo Xiaobai scanned the contents of the biography while chewing. Seeing that there were no less than thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses from Guishan who came later, I didn't have to think about it to know that it must be Guishuang's Chinese army Wang Shi who had arrived.
"Mao Gong, Feng Xiao, according to your opinion, how will the deputy king of Guishan arrange tomorrow?"
"Ten have**, he is going to lead the troops to continue to Shule."
Guo Jia has been helping with logistics all day, and he is still full of energy at the moment, and after a little thought, he smiled and said: "But Yijia expected that he would still leave the vanguard of today's siege behind." First, these people already have the experience of fighting our Han army, and secondly, he also needs to have a force of soldiers and horses to stabilize the rear. ”
"It's nice to say it's stable, but it's hard to hear it, it's up to this group of people to go out to burn, kill and loot, right?"
Mo Xiaobai smiled disdainfully, and then pouted: "I don't know what this group of people thinks, this is the Gobi region, even if there are no fortresses established by Ban Chao, it is not easy for them to encounter the scattered people of the Western Regions, and they even want to fight in the Western Regions." ”
"Whatever they choose, at least it's good news for us, and it will be much easier to defend the city tomorrow." Li Ji echoed with a smile, and then frowned and looked to the northeast: "The Shache King City is guarded by the lord, and there will be no mistakes in general, but there are not many soldiers under General Banlao, and the pressure over there is not small." ”
Although everyone knows very well that in history, Ban Chao successfully defended the city. But at this moment, in the face of ten times the enemy, no one dared to say that the Guishan soldiers and horses did not have the slightest threat.
And whether Ban Chao can withstand the attack of tens of thousands of troops will also be the key to this battle.
The battle of Shule was destined to be even more tragic than that of Shache.
With these complicated thoughts, he fell asleep, and Mo Xiaobai reflexively climbed up from the bed early the next morning.
When he came to the city, he saw the Kushan soldiers and horses approaching his own city wall again.
At the head of the city, Li Ji and Li Guangzhu's generals were all present, looking at the cavalry charging below, a smile flashed between Li Ji's eyebrows: "Lord, look, Guishuang's soldiers and horses are nearly half less than yesterday. ”
Needless to say, Mo Xiaobai can actually see it.
Compared with yesterday's Kushan army, which was dark and overwhelming, and there was no edge at all, although the cavalry lineup outside the city today was still huge, it could not be compared with before.
The difference between 10,000 and 5,000 can be seen clearly with the naked eye.
And when the five thousand soldiers and horses in front of him began to attack the city, not to mention Mo Xiaobai, even the fat man and Dumb who came later could find that the situation was not quite right.
"What's going on with them today? Hit and go back, and then run up again? ”
Compared with the fierce battle situation the day before, the fat man found that he had been fighting all morning, and he was not as tired as yesterday for an hour, and immediately complained: "They won't run out of food today, and they haven't eaten at all, right?" ”
"It's not enough to run out of food, but there are definitely not many rations, and most of the soldiers and horses who didn't appear on the battlefield went out to rob."
"And what do these Kushans mean? Not going to storm it? ”
"If you can't attack strongly, you have to attack, and the commander of Guishan is not so stupid." Looking at the Guishan heavy infantry who retreated again, Mo Xiaobai put away his spear: "Anyway, fat man, didn't you say that you were so tired that you were suffocating yesterday?" Why are you talking about war again today? ”
"I was really nervous yesterday, but today's battle is like playing at home, fat man, my skills are useless." The perch shook his head as he spoke, and those who didn't know might really think of him as a master.
But in fact, the perch has nothing else reliable except for the sword in his hand.
When the tentative attack of the whole day was carried out in the evening, the Kushan army was very shameful and walked away. This time, neither side suffered much damage. Mo Xiaobai's side had dozens of minor injuries at most, while Guishuang's side had two or three hundred casualties.
On the third and fourth days after that, the Kushan soldiers and horses still maintained this tentative offensive of besieging the city. Even the frequency of attacks on the fourth day was much weaker than the previous two days.
Until the fifth day, the Kushan army simply stopped attacking the city, and only sent cavalry to roam outside the city every day, which was completely a style that as long as the Han army obediently stayed in the city, they would no longer attack.
"My lord, the Hongyan messenger outside the city has new news in return."
"Most of the cavalry sent out by the Kushan battalion outside the city to plunder have returned, but today, more cavalry has scattered from the territory."
On the sixth day, Guishan stopped attacking the city as usual, and Li Ji also came to Mo Xiaobai with a new Hongyan handbook: "According to the judgment of the last general, I am afraid that the problem of the shortage of rations in the Guishan camp has been exposed, and now they urgently need to grab enough food to maintain this big war." ”
"It seems that our opponent is a little anxious."
Sweeping the contents of the biography at a glance, Mo Xiaobai's eyes smiled even more: "Let's go, let's go and meet that Shache King together." has helped him defend the city for so long, as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, he should also contribute to this big war. ”
Stepping into the palace again, Mo Xiaobai did not have the humility of meeting the lord of a country at all, and after saluting the king of Shache, he sat down with a big grin: "Now that the two countries have been at war for several days, I don't know how the lord of your country feels?" ”
"The strength of the Han army is rare in the world, and it is a great blessing for me to have the protection of the baron." As he spoke, his face was full of flattery.
In these days, although he did not go to the battlefield in person, he also 'heard' about the fierce battle between the Han army and the Dayue clan.
The Great Yue Clan, which has always been proud of its strong force, was beaten by the Han soldiers and did not dare to attack the city again!
The Da Yue clan is a prisoner of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are only more than 2,000 Han soldiers in the city. This kind of contest with a huge disparity in strength, not only did not appear a one-sided battle, but the Han defenders had the upper hand, and the lord of Shache himself felt like he was dreaming.
At first, when he heard that there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Otsuki clan, King Shache didn't sleep well for two nights in a row, and he was afraid that after the city was breached, the Otsuki clan would find him to settle accounts.
But now five or six days have passed, and his royal city is still impregnable. King Shache now has to admire Mo Xiaobai, as well as the Han soldiers represented by Mo Xiaobai and Ban Chao.
The strength of the Han soldiers is even greater than that of the Great Yue Clan.
Mo Xiaobai was not surprised at all by the deliberate flattery of the lord of Shache, and continued to hum and speak: "Whether my Han soldiers are strong or not, I don't need to be repeated, I came over today, just to ask you, you are also a Han courtier at the moment, do you plan to watch the play on the sidelines?" ”
"If the baron has any plan, if you need to use me, you can speak, and I will fully cooperate."
"The lord of the country understands the righteousness, I thank you first."
Mo Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "In this way, you and I will each send 500 cavalry, and hand them over to my subordinate generals to command, and from tonight, we will counterattack the enemy forces outside the city." ”
