Chapter 0068: The decisive battle of Hanqi

In the past, Xihe Town, which was full of people and bustling, was full of wreckage at this time.

The aborigines and players are also not as busy and enthusiastic as they used to be, and some numbly clean up the collapsed houses and the corpses that are scattered all over the place, including the Khitans, but also the people of Xihe Town, Kruqi, Tanta, and Sinsa tribesmen.

Although the sudden attack of the Northern Khitan tribe was discovered by the patrol cavalry on the periphery, it came too quickly and suddenly, and there was no time to make a big response.

The Northern Khitan tribe dispatched thirty or forty thousand elite troops at a time, and was very well prepared, all kinds of siege vehicles were more than dozens or hundreds, in the Khitan people's rapid attack, Xihe Town with the convenience of the city wall, repeatedly repelled the Khitan siege, but also suffered heavy casualties, about two thousand casualties in just one night. The casualties of the Northern Khitans also exceeded 5,000.

This is just the beginning, the North Khitan tribe in the face of the stubborn resistance of Xihe Town, the attack became more intense, the night just ended the siege, the morning did not rest, then took turns again, arrows, catapults, smashed Xihe Town to pieces, the newly built Shangxihe Town in addition to the city wall, other new buildings were all destroyed.

The original Xiaxihe Town was also almost ruined, but fortunately, Qian Lao had experience and transferred the people to the other side when the Northern Khitans attacked, otherwise the losses of Xihe Town would be even heavier.

In the end, in the ferocious attack of the Khitans, when Xihe Town was crumbling, Qian Tian could only dispatch the two hundred heavy cavalry that were left behind, and cut off the continuous ferocious offensive of the Northern Khitan from outside the town while paying nearly half of the casualties, ending the attack of the night and the morning.

In the afternoon, the Khitans drove the people who attacked the village from the surrounding area to be cannon fodder, and used their usual methods to attack the city.

Xihe Town was completely in a dilemma, and finally Qian Lao, who was an aborigine, decisively ordered to release arrows, and took advantage of the Khitan retreat when he sent out heavy cavalry and cavalry again to save most of the people.

Fortunately, just when Xihe Town was in a desperate situation, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the first batch of delayed soldiers from Keyuan City arrived, and with them holding back most of the Khitans on the periphery, Xihe Town was initially stabilized.

The Khitans obviously did not expect that there were so many troops in Xihe Town, and although they attacked fiercely, they still stubbornly survived.

Keyuancheng's delaying soldiers put them in a dilemma, they were unwilling to go, they couldn't delay for a long time if they didn't go, and they couldn't leave when they wanted to.

At this moment, almost all of them were dispatched, and if they did not bring a little stuff back, the losses would be extremely heavy.

Peng Spleen ordered the Khitan elite to be sent to raid all parts of Yuanzhou, disperse the forces of Keyuan City, and launch a more fierce attack on Xihe Town.

After a few days, both sides were almost exhausted, and they attacked Xihe Town several times in a row, but they were driven out by the remaining heavy cavalry, and the entanglement between the two sides became more intense.

On the side of Keyuancheng, 30,000 heavy troops were dispatched, and other soldiers scattered all over Yuanzhou were also mobilized under the command of Xi Juan, and after a few days, more and more troops were gathered.

When he decided to retreat, he received a system prompt that the Northern Khitan tribe was attacked by Zhang Yuan.

The Northern Khitan retreated, and when Qian Tian went offline, he received a message from Zhang Yuan, and immediately told Qian Lao the news, Qian Lao realized that this was a very good opportunity, although he was worried about Zhang Yuan's comfort, but he did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately told the news to Chen Wu, a partial general who came from Keyuan City.

Chen Wu didn't dare to make a decision, and ordered the guards to bring the news to Xi Juan, who was presiding over the overall situation of the entire Yuanzhou in Keyuan City.

When Xi Juan got the news, the Khitans had already retreated on a large scale, and the news came neither early nor late, Xi Juan knew the role of the heavy cavalry from Chen Wu, and knew Zhang Yuan's situation, so he decided to carry out a two-sided attack on the Northern Khitan, and severely damaged the grassland tribes who dared to plunder in Yuanzhou.

Eyes returned to Zhang Yuan, after killing Xiao Shilu, there was a lack of command, and Wanting was far away in the Khitan tribe, and the Khitan crowd was leaderless, completely defeated, and it was not a climate.

Zhang Yuan was unwilling to delay more in order to unite Xi Juan to besiege Pengqiang, but after two raids and an ambush, almost everyone's physical strength was exhausted.

"Report ..................!!!"

Far away, the heavy cavalry wearing chains saw the Han army flying the banner of the word 'Xi', and shouted loudly, and Xi Juan waved his hand to stop the army from moving forward.

"Report!!"

The heavy cavalry jumped off the horse, knelt alone in front of Xi Juan, bowed his head and hugged his fists: "Subordinate Geshu Bulun, see General Zhenyuan!" ”

"You were sent by Zhang Yuan? How far is he from here? Xi Juan looked at Goshu Bulun and asked in a deep voice.

"Report to General Zhenyuan, when he came down, he was more than eighty miles away from here, and there should be about seventy miles left at this time!" Goshubulen paused for a moment and said loudly.

"Good! You go back and report to Zhang Yuan, I will launch an attack in due course and have a decisive battle with the Khitans, as for him! Xi Juan hesitated for a moment, although she got the strength of the heavy cavalry from Chen Wu, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, she is not really good at judging how strong or weak Zhang Yuan's Liliang is, so she said: "Let him see the opportunity and decide when to give these Khitans a fatal blow in the back!" ”

She was an extremely straightforward and decisive person, otherwise she would not have been born a marquis with a daughter. After hearing Chen Wu's report, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity that should not be missed, as long as the Northern Khitan tribe was severely damaged, the border of the Han Dynasty would be less harmful, and at the same time, the influence of the Yuan Dynasty on the grassland would be greatly weakened in the future, and the influence of the Han Dynasty would increase.

In addition to this, the other benefits can be said to be endless.

Regardless of whether Zhang Yuan brought a plan or not, Xi Juan had already mobilized the forces of Yuanzhou, so naturally he did not plan to let the Khitans retreat so easily. And Zhang Yuan's appearance can be said to be just an opportunity, or it can be said to be a head, which made her bolder from the original idea of severely inflicting damage on the Khitans, such as completely defeating and eliminating the Khitans and so on.

After following for about a few miles, the Khitans came to a relatively open grassland area with few dirt slopes, and did not advance, as if they were planning to make a decisive decision with the Han army here.

The Han cavalry stopped a kilometer away from them, waiting for the arrival of the middle and rear armies.

Two hours later, the two sides rested and prepared, 40,000 Han soldiers lined up in the middle, dozens of huge phalanxes pierced the surrounding spears into the sky, sword and shield soldiers followed closely, crossbowmen lined up at the end, and 10,000 cavalry spread out on both wings, forming a huge military formation.

The Khitans were not so neat, they scattered out an extremely long front line, led by a centurion to lead a hundred-man team, wandering through the periphery of the Han army, and the centurion was responsible for commanding ten or a dozen centurions, each hundred-man team was like a pack of wolves in a wolf pack, and the centurion was the head wolf in the small wolf pack.

Peng's spleen is the commander of the thousand-legg, and the troops ruled by the commander are divided into a separate part of the wolf pack.

Such an organizational method may seem simple, but it is extremely effective.
