Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 148 147. Battle of the Great Army

Let alone the assembly of the Huns.

On Wuhuan's side, Zhang Qi was also making pre-war preparations.

Indeed, Liaodong is not his yet, and he can't afford to risk himself, but apart from losing territory, the Huns' attack on Liaodong this time is a good accumulation of combat experience for him.

The largest number of combatants he faced before was when he attacked the [-] unorganized prairie cavalry in Liaodong.

But this time, if the number of prairie people who invaded Liaodong is less than [-], then Zhang Qi really wants to go and see.

Everything has to wait for Hu Shui to pass the news back to be sure, so now, Zhang Qi is just preparing for the battle that he may participate in this time.

Weapons and armor can be brought out from the world of riding and cutting. The cost of a total of [-] eagle strike troops is not too much, and the amount of tens of thousands of catties can be taken out.

The other is the Molotov cocktail.

If King Zuo Gu Li really wants to attack the city, then this kind of flammable defensive weapon is the best thing to use.

And Zhang Qi's production is also simple, high alcohol, sugar and some sticky things can be done.

After all, the world of riding and hacking can now produce alcohol and syrup on a large scale without spending food from the outside world, so Zhang Qiqi doesn't feel bad about it.

The soldiers practiced day after day, getting familiar with how to cooperate with Zhang Qi's NPC soldiers, and the days passed little by little.

Half a month later, a secret letter was sent back from the grassland,

Zhang Qi checked it immediately.

There is not much content in the letter, it just explains that the attack on Liao was carried out by the joint forces of Zuo Guli King and Zuo Tuqi, with a total force of more than [-] troops, of which nearly [-] elite troops belonged to Zuo Guli King The main force of Zuo Tuqi and Zuo Tuqi, and the other tens of thousands were wandering grasslands responding to the call.

Putting down the letter, Zhang Qi frowned. A few days ago, Lu Mu brought Zhang Yi's family to Wuhuan. All set up properly.

After thinking about it, Zhang Qi called out.

"Let Lu Mu come over."

"promise!"

After a while, Lu Mu hurried in from the outside.

"Your Majesty!"

"Forget it, come and have a look, this is a secret letter sent back by Hu Shui."

Zhang Qi stretched out his hand and handed over the secret letter, and Lu Mu took it.

After a short while, Lu Mu took a deep breath and said, "Hey, I'm afraid this Zuoguli King really wants to take Liaodong? The defenders in Liaodong are only more than [-]. The city defense army in the county."

"Hehe." Zhang Qi smiled: "What we have done before, the biggest loss is these two, and it is inevitable that they will have plans to loot Liaodong."

"Where do you think they will attack Liao?"

Zhang Qi asked a question.

Lu Mu thought for a while, then walked to the map drawn by Liu Chai in the king's tent and said: "The Great Wall of Liaodong is connected to the mountains, and with the position of King Zuoguli's tribe, they can only march south along Wuhuan Mountain. Turn around at Yanshan Mountain and enter Liaodi through the gap of the Great Wall.

From the perspective of the fastest distance, they should enter Liaoxi first, and then cross into Liaodong, and the safest way is to advance eastward between Wuhuan Mountain and Yanshan Mountain, heading straight to Wangping. "

"Go down to Wangping, pass through Houcheng, and break through Gaoyu. Then you can attack Liaoyang from the west, and enter Xiangping if you go straight."

Zhang Qi finished talking about King Zuoguli's attack route for Lu Mu.

"Goodbye, Your Majesty."

Lu Mu looked at the map for a long time, and found that what Zhang Qi said was the best route to attack Liao.

"However, can they capture the city of Han?"

Zhang Qi continued to ask, and then asked and answered himself: "It's hard to say, although the Han army is huddled in a corner, but those strong attacking crossbows are not a joke. If they really want to attack the city, the price they need to pay will be extremely high."

As he said that, Zhang Qi carefully thought about whether there was any record of the Xiongnu's siege victory in history. After thinking hard, he really thought of something, and there really was.

Twenty thousand soldiers of the Xiongnu killed the prefect of Liaoxi.

But that was a few years later, and it was also in that year that Wei Qing fully showed his talents.

But being able to kill the prefect of Liaoxi means that the Huns are not useless in attacking the city.

Also, there are always craftsmen among the absorbed Han people, and it is not difficult to produce some siege equipment.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Qi asked Lu Mu to come closer, and then said softly, "Go to Liaodong and tell Zhang Yi that if Thaksang believes in him, let him set up troops to hope for peace and peace. These two places are most likely to be attacked by the Huns."

Lu Mu looked up at Zhang Qi, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to participate?"

Zhang Qi smiled and nodded: "This rare opportunity to train troops will allow us to get used to how to fight against large armies in advance."

Lu Mu cupped his hands: "No!"

"Then do you want to get some benefits from Zhang Yi?"

"It's natural. We can't give our efforts in vain. As for what benefits we can get, that's up to you."

"Little old man understands."

After clasping his hands, Lu Mu left the king's tent without staying, and rushed to Liaodong again with a few or two entourages.

Closing his eyes, Zhang Qi entered the world of riding and slashing. Under his orders, [-] teenagers who were already fifteen or sixteen years old began to fill Molotov cocktails under the command of the teachers of the first batch and the second batch.

The reason why Zhang Qi pays so much attention to the Molotov cocktail is because the kerosene used to defend the city in this era is still ordinary animal fat. Although it can burn, it is more of a combustion aid. In terms of efficiency, it is not as strong as these alcohol mixtures.

This time is also an opportunity to try the power of this burning bottle and accumulate experience for future city defense.

Considering the defense of the city, Zhang Qi divided these Molotov cocktails into two types, one is ordinary canned throwing objects, which are used to throw them at any time, while the other is packed in sealed wooden barrels, which are used for large-scale shooting. combustion.

After riding and hacking the world for ten days in a row, Zhang Qi watched them prepare [-] catties of two types of incendiary bombs, and then stopped them.

In addition to the equipment to be changed for the Eagle Strike Army, a weight of [-] jin was gathered, which was almost equivalent to Zhang Qi preparing [-] jin of weapons and equipment for each Eagle Strike Army.

It's enough, forty catties, the weight of swords and swords can't account for a few catties, and the bulk is still armor.

Although armor is not a panacea, a good suit can still turn a person who should have been seriously injured into a minor injury, and a person who might have been slightly injured can become a negligible abrasion.

In ancient battle formations, having armor and not armor are two concepts.

All the materials and utensils were ready, and all that was left was to wait for when the Xiongnu would arrive in Liaodong. For the first time facing the large army, Zhang Qi had some vague expectations in his heart.

After another ten days, the definite news finally came back to Wuhuan, holding the letter, Zhang Qi smiled, and immediately set off with his army.
