The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 218 Tonight, Counterattack (for Subscription)
When Mo Xiaobai saw the swan goose pass letter sent by the rattan armored soldiers, he and Fatty and others were holding a few mustard pancakes and stuffing them into their mouths.

Tearing off half of the pie in one bite, Mo Xiaobai scanned the contents of the biography while chewing.Seeing that Guishuang's soldiers and horses came after no less than [-] to [-] people, he knew without thinking that it must be the king of Guishuang's Chinese army who had arrived.

"Mao Gong, Feng Xiao, in your opinion, what will the vice king of Guishuang do tomorrow?"

"Nine times out of ten, he wants to lead the troops to continue to Shule."

Guo Jia spent the whole day helping out with logistics, and he was still full of energy at the moment. After a little thought, he smiled and said, "However, Jia expected that he would still keep the vanguard of today's siege. After all, these people have already With the experience of fighting against my Han army, secondly, he also needs to have an army to stabilize the rear."

"It sounds good to be stable, but it sounds bad to rely on this group of people to go out and burn, kill, and loot?"

Mo Xiaobai smiled disdainfully, then curled his lips and said: "I don't know what these people think, this is the Gobi area, even if there are no fortresses built by Ban Chao, it may not be easy for them to encounter scattered people from the Western Regions. They still want to use war to support war in the Western Regions."

"No matter what they choose, at least it is good news for us, and it will be much easier to defend the city tomorrow." Li Ji echoed with a smile, then frowned and looked to the northeast: "The King City of Shache is guarded by the Lord. There may be some mistakes, but the old general Ban has not many soldiers, so the pressure there is probably not small."

Although everyone is well aware that in history, Banchao successfully defended the city.But at this moment, being on the scene, facing an enemy ten times stronger, no one dared to say that Guishuang's soldiers and horses did not pose the slightest threat.

Whether Ban Chao can withstand the attack of tens of thousands of troops will also be the key to this battle.

The battle in Shule is destined to be more tragic than Shache.

After falling asleep with these complicated thoughts, Mo Xiaobai got up from the bed early the next morning like a conditioned reflex.

Dressed up and came to the top of the city, I just saw Guishuang soldiers and horses approaching their own city wall again.

On the top of the city, generals Li Ji and Li Guang were all present. Looking at the cavalry charging below, a smile flashed across Li Ji's brows: "Look, my lord, Guishuang's troops and horses are almost fewer today than yesterday. Half."

No need for Li Ji to say, Mo Xiaobai can actually see it.

Compared with Guishuang's army that was so dark yesterday that they couldn't see the side at all, although the cavalry lineup outside the city today is still huge, it can't be compared with before.

The difference between ten thousand and five thousand can be seen clearly with the naked eye.

And when the five thousand soldiers and horses in front of them began to attack the city, not to mention Mo Xiaobai, even the fat man and dumb who came after them could find that something was wrong.

"What's the matter with them today? They beat and retreated, and then ran up again later?"

Compared with the fierce battle the day before, Fatty found that he had been fighting all morning, and he was not as tired as he was in the hour yesterday. He immediately complained: "They won't be out of food today, have they all eaten?"

"It's not impossible to run out of food, but the rations are definitely not much. Most of the soldiers and horses who did not appear on the battlefield have gone out to rob."

"Then what do these Guishuang people mean? Don't plan to continue to attack?"

"If you can't attack by force, you still have to attack. Guishuang's commander is not that stupid." Looking at the Guishuang heavy infantry who retreated again, Mo Xiaobai put away his spear: "By the way, fat man, didn't you say you were about to suffocate yesterday? Why are you talking about fighting again?"

"Yesterday I was really too nervous, but today's battle is like playing tricks. Fatty, my skills are useless." Ba Yu shook his head while talking, and those who don't know may still I really think of him as a master.

But in fact, there is no other reliable place for bass except for the sword in his hand.

When the whole day's probing attack progressed to the evening, Guishuang's army just slapped the horse and left.There were not many losses on both sides this time.Mo Xiaobai's side had at most dozens of minor injuries, while Guishuang's side had two to 300 casualties.

On the third and fourth days after that, Guishuang soldiers and horses still maintained this kind of tentative offensive to besiege the city.Even the attack frequency on the fourth day was much weaker than the previous two days.

Until the fifth day, the Guishuang army stopped attacking the city at all, and only sent cavalry to wander outside the city every day, completely acting as if they would not attack as long as the Han army stayed in the city obediently.

"My lord, the swan geese messenger outside the city has returned with new news."

"Most of the cavalry sent out by the Guishuang camp outside the city to plunder failed, but today, more cavalry scattered from the territory."

On the sixth day, Guishuang stopped attacking the city as usual, but Li Ji came to Mo Xiaobai with a new letter from Hongyan: "According to the judgment of the general, I am afraid that the problem of the shortage of military rations in Guishuang camp has been exposed. They urgently need to grab enough food to sustain this war."

"It seems that our opponent is a little impatient."

After scanning the contents of the biography, Mo Xiaobai's eyes became even more smiling: "Let's go, let's go meet that Shache King together. He has helped him guard the city for so long. As a subject of the Han Dynasty, he should also do it for this." Do your part in the battle.”

Stepping into the Shache Palace again, Mo Xiaobai did not show respect to the lord of a country at all, and sat down carelessly after seeing the king of Shache: "The two countries have been at war for several days, what does your lord think? "

"The strength of the Han army is rare in the world, and it is a great blessing for my country of Shache to be protected by the baron." When the Lord of Shache spoke, his face was full of flattery.

In the past few days, although he didn't go to the battlefield in person, he also 'heard' of the fierce battle between the Han army and the Da Yuezhi.

Da Yuezhi, who had always relied on his strength in force, was so beaten up by the soldiers of the Han Dynasty that he dared not attack the city again!

The Dayue Clan was invaded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there were only two thousand Han soldiers in the city.This kind of contest with disparity in military strength, not only did not result in a one-sided battle, but the big Han defenders had the upper hand. The Lord Shache himself felt that it was like a dream.

At first, when he heard that there were tens of thousands of soldiers from the Dayue Clan, King Shache didn't sleep well for two nights, because he was afraid that after the city was breached, the Dayue Clan would seek him out.

But now five or six days have passed, and his royal city is still as solid as gold.King Shache now has to admire Mo Xiaobai, as well as the great Han soldiers represented by Mo Xiaobai and Ban Chao.

The strength of the Han soldiers is even greater than that of the Yuezhi.

Mo Xiaobai was not at all surprised by Shache King's deliberate flattery, and continued to hum: "I don't need others to go into details about whether my big man is strong or not. I came here today just to ask you. You are also a big man right now." Courtier, are you planning to watch the play on the sidelines?"

"What's the baron's plan? If you need to use my Shache soldiers, you can open your mouth. I will fully cooperate."

"The king understands righteousness, I thank you in advance."

Mo Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Well, you and I will each send out 500 horsemen, and hand them over to my subordinate generals. Starting tonight, we will fight back against the enemy forces outside the city."
