The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 111

Xianbei's 14 troops were unable to make progress in attacking the city for five consecutive days. The main reason was that Xiangping City had sufficient reserves of arrows and crossbows.On the fifth day, the Xianbei even attacked the top of the city, but the soldiers of the Han army, led by Huo Yu and other fierce generals, drove them down bravely.

At this moment, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the Xianbei camp, Suli, Helian, and Chenglugui frowned and said nothing. The weather is getting colder and colder, but the harvest of this plunder in Han territory is too little, 10,000+ people A day's consumption is no joke.After sieging the city for five consecutive days, not to mention more than 2 casualties, the morale of the entire army is gradually declining.And the news from Da Dan Tan Shihuai was not going well, and the reinforcements sent by Youzhou Mu Liu Yu had already fought with Gongsun Zan's army, so it might not be possible to tell the winner for a while!If there is no further progress in Liaodong, I am afraid that there will be nothing this year.

However, the good situation is that today the siege has rushed to the top of the city, and tomorrow the other two feints will be feints, yes, they will be feints. Thinking of this, Su Li raised his head and looked at Helian. , to attract the attention of the Han army, I personally lead the army to attack the North Gate, I don't believe that the Han army is still not solid!"

Hearing Su Li's confident words, He Lian and Cheng Lvgui didn't have much to say, they got up and took their leave and went back to the big tent to rest.

In Xiangping City, Huo Yu summoned all the generals to discuss matters.Arrows and crossbows have been consumed very quickly in the past few days. Judging from the current reserves, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold out tomorrow.For five consecutive days, the soldiers fought hard and dealt a heavy blow to the Xianbei people. The casualties were probably close to 2000, and the casualties of my own side and Liu Zheng's [-] city defense army were only [-] in total.

In comparison, this battle damage is still acceptable, and the war in the cold weapon era is so cruel.In siege warfare, the defense has the upper hand, and in field battles, it is basically like killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.Huo Yu, who came from later generations, has been trying every means to reduce the number of casualties on the enemy's battlefield, but the level of technology is limited, so he can do as much as he can!
Huo Yu, who came out of his thoughts, suddenly noticed that everyone present was looking at him, and then laughed at himself embarrassedly: "I kept you waiting for a long time, Yu just fell into deep thought!"

"Yu already knows the losses of each department. Compared with the Xianbei people, this number of casualties is still acceptable, but the consumption of arrows and crossbows is basically empty. In the absence of foreign aid, it will be against us starting tomorrow." The most severe test." Huo Yu continued.

"My lord, if you run out of arrows, fight hand to hand. My old Zhang hasn't started killing yet!" Zhang Fei was the first to stand up and speak.

"My lord Ximen Chenglugui's attack power is relatively weak. Rong thinks that the flying feather riders led by Zilong should gather at the north gate to wait for the opportunity." Huang Zhong got up and said.

"Rong thought that Dongmen Helian was nothing to worry about, and that Gao Shun's camp was concentrated at the North Gate." Xu Rong stood up the third and said.

Huiyu raised his hand to stop the rest of the people, and then said: "I personally guard the north gate, plus Zhang Fei and Liu Zhengzhi, the other four gates must not be slack, especially the south gate, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Liu Pi , Gong Du, you and the other four must not be careless!"

"Nuo" The four stood up and promised, although defending the south gate could not directly participate in the battle, but they knew in their hearts that the south gate was the only exit, if the city was really broken, the retreat of the entire army would be in the hands of the four.Today's yellow scarf wrestlers are not what they used to be. With the help of the three treasures on horseback, each of them can mount a horse and fight. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are cavalry!
"My lord, according to the news from Anyuwei, the Xianbei people's food and grass are not very sufficient. Instead of letting Feiyu sit in the city and do nothing, it is better to send out of the city to take the opportunity to attack Xianbei's logistics supplies!" Xi Zhi He stood up and spoke slowly.

Huo Yu was about to speak, but Guo Jia got up and said, "Jia knows that my lord loves Fei Yuqi, and my lord often says that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, of course good steel must be used on the blade. If Zilong can burn Xianbei's grain and grass, I will The army can then fight the Xianbei people, so that the Lord's earlier preparations can be used."

Hearing the analysis of Wan Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, Huo Yu suddenly realized that he was still too limited.What Guo Jia said is correct, the flying feather cavalry is so well equipped, how can it become an elite soldier in the world if it does not go through the training of war?Living in the city is indeed a waste.

After thinking this through, Huo Yu got up and saluted the two of them: "What Zhicai and Fengxiao said is very true, Yu has been taught!"

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled without saying a word. If their lord can listen to advice, why not worry about things failing!

"Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, are you prepared enough for this year?" Huo Yu suddenly said something nonsensical, except for a very few people present, the rest were at a loss.

"My lord, the two of us have already made preparations. We just need to obey the lord's order." After Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other, Zhang Shiping replied.

"Okay, since that's the case, you two will go to the study with me later, and I will pass on the secret method to you two. Remember that this method must not be passed on to the outside world, and you are clear about the consequences." Suddenly, Huo Yu's tone changed, and he said sternly.

"No, I will swear allegiance to my lord." Su and Zhang hurriedly stood up and replied.

"Zhao Yun obeys the order."

"exist"

"Tomorrow morning, Zhao Yun will lead Fei Yuqi out from the south gate, looking for fighters to burn Xianbei's food and grass supplies, and decide on his own."

"promise"

"Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Liu Pi, and Gong are all ready to pick up Fei Yuqi at any time!"

"promise"

"The rest of the generals perform their own duties, and we must not let Xianbei soldiers enter Xiangping!"

"promise"

After the crowd dispersed, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping followed Huo Yu to the study room. Not long after, they left with the secret recipe, success or failure depends on it!
After the two left, Huo Yu said to the dark place: "Brother Shi A, please send someone to keep an eye on the two of you. The secret recipe must not be passed on to the outside world. If necessary, you can make your own decision without reporting it!"

"Nuo" came a sonorous and powerful voice from the dark place, and Shi A knew in his heart at this moment that Huo Yu trusted him for such a heavy responsibility.As Huo Yu's shadow, Shi A believes that he can do a great job.

Those in positions of power will never put their own lives in the hands of others, and they must always be in control of everything. Although Huo Yu, who came from later generations, cannot do what Zhu Yuanzhang did, he cannot relax the surveillance of some key personnel.One is for safety, and the other is to prevent accidents.

In fact, Huo Yu was not very satisfied with An Yuwei in his heart, after all, he didn't find it by himself.After the Xianbei army was defeated, some things had to be put on the agenda. The Dark Feather Guards would only be responsible for collecting intelligence in the future, and other things should be handled by special staff, but Huo Yu didn't know where the candidate was at the moment.
