Chapter 656: No one is invincible
A supply line is a lifeline, and there is no room for error.
Although they were nomadic and did not attach as much importance to supplies as the Han army, they did not live by grazing grass like livestock.
Julan City is more than 300 miles away from Suye City, and Tina led an army of 10,000 people day and night, and it took two days to finally reach Suye City.
But when he saw Suye City, which had been reduced to ruins, Tina shouted angrily, raised the mace in his hand and shouted: "Damn the Wusun people, they actually destroyed the castle, so where is this for us to station." ”
"Order a team of people to go to Gongyue City to spread the king's letter, raise food as soon as possible and transport it over, Suye City is over, we will temporarily station by the lake, we can't delay the grain and grass of the front army, otherwise the king will cut off our heads." Tina commanded his subordinates.
The army marched to the lake next to Suye City and camped there, some set up tents, some prepared to make fires for cooking, and some led horses to drink and feed grass, but when they came to the lake, they saw the dead animals floating on the lake, and the rancid smell emitted, they were frightened and retreated.
They are steppe people, and they know best how terrible it is to throw animal carcasses into the water, and now it is summer, and the animal carcasses will decompose quickly, and the water of the whole lake has been infected, as long as they drink this water, they are very likely to get the plague.
When the Han people attacked the steppe, the Huns often used this trick to deal with the Han army, and it always had miraculous effects, but this time, it was used by the enemy against them.
"Bastard!"
Tina let out a roar of rage, the water source was polluted, and they couldn't get even the most basic clean water, "General, what now?" ”
Tina thought about it, the more than ten miles ahead should be the Ulungu River, let's find a place by the river to settle down.
The army had just set up a tent, so it had to be dismantled and continued to drive, and finally arrived next to the Ulungu River after advancing for more than ten miles, and found a place where the water and grass were plump, looking at the flowing river, Tina said with a smile: "This time the Han army can't go down the plague, haha, that trick is the rest of us, will we still be fooled." ”
"The general is wise." The subordinates patted their ass.
This time it was finally possible to set up, the tents were set up, the horses were led to drink water, the fire was lit and the whole team was completely relaxed, many people took off their armor and jumped directly into the river to bathe, and many people were bare-chested in water fights.
A golden eagle flew over their heads,
The sharp eyes swept over the camp, Tina had taken off his armor at this moment, someone brought wine, was sitting on the horse to drink to quench his thirst, saw the golden eagle in the sky, and said with a smile: "Look, it's the golden eagle, the condor of our Huns." ”
At this moment,
Tina suddenly heard a rumbling sound in his ears, and his spirit was shocked, and then he was shocked, stood up and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and get on your horse, there is an enemy attack." ”
The other Huns also heard this sound, and ran out of the tent one after another, running towards their war horses, but how could their speed be faster than the speed of the enemy's war horses, just a few breaths, countless cavalry rushed from a distance.
"Kill!!"
The shouts of killing were endless.
The Xiwang army brandished a bright war knife in his hand, slashing at the Huns, and the Hun soldiers who were not prepared at all changed from the original steppe wolf to 10,000 slaughtered lambs, and they had no power to fight back in the face of the Xiwang army.
The whole battle lasted for about half an hour, and the green grassland by the Ulungu River became a human purgatory, with stumps and broken arms and corpses all over the field, and blood and water gathered into streams, flowing into the Ulungu River, staining half of the river red.
Pang Xiong happily came to Jiang Hao and reported: "Great King, great victory, total annihilation of the enemy, according to what you said, there are no prisoners, we only lost a few hundred people." ”
"Order someone to clean up the battlefield, collect the corpses and bury them, and we have to leave here before dark." Jiang Hao said.
"No!"
Jiang Hao played a kite flying tactic, Suye City was lost, and the Huns would definitely find a way to take it back, so he took the army and hid directly in a grassland area next to him, waiting for the Huns to come over by themselves.
There are two golden eagles as reconnaissance satellites, and the movements of the Huns are in full view.
"Congratulations to the king, it's another big victory, how are we going to fight next, are we going to support the Wusun people?" Queen Dina, who was next to her, asked in a low voice.
Jiang Hao smiled and shook his head,
"Don't worry, go directly to the battlefield, far less than the role we play here, next, let's just wait for the Huns to continue to send us supplies, hehehe." Jiang Hao let out a few wicked laughs, like a bad silver.
After receiving the order of the king of Guli, Gongyue City immediately stopped 20,000 stone grain, four or five thousand cattle and sheep, which should be enough for the army to eat in January, and sent five thousand soldiers to escort it, and a few days later, the grain transport team marched from Gongyue City to Suye City.
The grain transport team was led by a Xiongnu big household, the number of 5,000 people, because of the grain and grass cart and cattle and sheep, the walk was not fast, three or four hundred miles of the journey of five or six days before reaching the vicinity of Suye City.
"You go and inform the Captain of Tina, and say that the grain transport team is coming, whether to stop here or continue to the front of Julan City." Dadanghu said to one of his subordinates.
"Yes, Commander."
The Qianhu ran away with more than a dozen horses, and the grain transport team continued to move forward, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see the Qianhu come back, and the big man wondered: "Didn't you find the Grand Captain Tina, shouldn't you?" ”
"What are we going to do?" One of the subordinates asked.
Dadanghu thought for a moment, "Keep going, it won't be long before you reach Suye City, and you can always find Captain Tina." ”
At first, the grain transport officer thought that it was Tina's army coming, but when the cavalry team got closer, he finally saw that those people were holding bright swords in their hands, and the banner was not their own Huns, but the banner of the Western Regions.
"Enemy attack, prepare for battle!"
Suffered a sudden attack, or a two-sided attack, the number of people was much more than the Huns, the Huns only resisted for a while, they were cut down one after another, the whole battle only lasted two incense sticks, the five thousand Huns who carried grain were all slaughtered.
"Gather the grain carts and cattle and sheep, clean up the battlefield and collect the war horses, and the corpses will be piled up here, and they will retreat after an hour." Pang Xiong, the commander of the front army, ordered.
This set is familiar with it, and it doesn't need to be arranged by Jiang Hao's order.
In just over a month, Jiang Hao successively attacked the 5,000 garrisons of Suye City, looted and burned all the supplies, ambushed the 10,000 Hun cavalry who came to support, and now attacked the army that sent grain and grass for the second time, eliminating 20,000 Huns, and his own losses were very small, but more than 1,000 people.
The soldiers who followed Jiang Hao were all imposing, and fighting with such a boss was a pleasure.
"What do we do next?" Her Majesty asked.
Now the queen looks at this man, it is like looking at a god of war, too powerful, calculating the enemy to death.
Of course, she didn't know that Jiang Hao could see the most detailed information from the two golden eagles, just like opening the whole map, all the movements of the enemy were in Jiang Hao's eyes.
Jiang Hao took out the map, looked at it, pointed to Gongyue City and said, "I'm going to take down Gongyue City first, so that the enemy's rear formation will be left without support, and then ......" ”
Jiang Hao's fingers drew a circle in Julan City: "Soldiers send troops to Julan City, and attack the Huns before and after."
"The king is like a god with soldiers, and the king is mighty." Her Majesty praised.
"Boom!"
Tens of thousands of cavalry marched quickly towards Gongyue City, a distance of three or four hundred miles, under the full speed of the cavalry, it only took three days to arrive, which also considered the problem of preserving physical strength, Jiang Hao They robbed a lot of war horses, basically one person and two horses, one person and three horses, and the logistics materials were sufficient.
Now the remaining defense force in Gongyue City is only four or five thousand people, and it is impossible to imagine that anyone can attack here, Jiang Hao is a strange soldier, and he has played a few big roundabout tactics, completely confusing the Huns.
The Xiongnu guard of Gongyue City should be a more cautious guy, Jiang Hao's army was still more than twenty miles away before it was discovered by the outpost, and Gongyue City entered a state of alert.
Jiang Hao looked at the Gongyue City like an earth city, there is nothing else, if the surprise attack fails, then attack hard, Jiang Hao has far more strength than the other party, and the hard one is a real man.
"Attack!"
Jiang Hao pulled out the Meteorite Iron Han Sword at his waist and pointed at Gongyue City, and tens of thousands of troops behind him rushed towards Gongyue City, and a tragic siege battle began.
Countless bows and arrows were shot at the head of the city, and the cavalry archers of the Western King Army also shot arrows around the city, hook locks, and cloud ladders went up together, and the two sides killed each other.
The Hun defenders were very tenacious, but after all, the gap in numbers was too big, and there was no big Guo high wall in Gongyue City, and tens of thousands of troops attacked together from all directions, after all, there was a place that could not be defended, just a round of fighting, and was hit by the Xiwang army on the head of the city, and then launched a battle for the city.
"Boom!"
The gates of the city are opened,
When a large number of troops entered the city, the Huns were no longer able to resist, and they were beheaded by sabers and pierced through their bodies by spears.
In this battle, Jiang Hao lost more than 3,000 soldiers, but also eliminated seven or eight thousand Huns, like Suye City, looted materials, dismissed Wusun slaves, took away what could be taken, and destroyed directly what could not be taken, and when the Xiwang army withdrew, the entire Gongyue City turned into a sea of fire.
"Let's go, let's go to Julan City!"
