The last three kingdoms

Chapter 861

With the retreat of the Shu army, all the Huns guarding the mountain couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It has to be said that the Shu army is very good at fighting in the mountains. Today's battle has brought great pressure to the Huns. Putting all their strength into it, the Huns were already in a hurry.

If the fight continues according to this situation, Longji Ridge is destined to be in danger.

Hu Yanhao frowned. Today's battle allowed him to clearly see the comparison of the two sides' capabilities in mountain warfare. The Huns were completely at a disadvantage. The Shu army's flexible offensive formation was able to fight with ease. Originally, such a tough battle, It was the defenders who had the absolute advantage, but the Huns didn't realize where the sense of superiority was at all. Instead, they were restrained everywhere and were weak everywhere. If it wasn't for the lack of power invested by the Shu army, it is very likely that Longjiling would have fallen now. .

Hu Yanhao sighed lightly. Sure enough, the strength of the Huns was still riding on the plains. This kind of offensive and defensive warfare in the mountains was obviously the weakness of the Huns.

"General Huyan, should we let the sons rest for a while?" The deputy general came over and asked Hu Yanhao. After a day of fierce fighting, the Huns were all tired. Now that the Shu army has retreated, these Huns naturally relaxed, but they did not wait until Hu Yanhao They did not dare to act without authorization.

"No!" Hu Yanhao said with a stern expression, "The order goes on, each battalion stands by and waits for orders, and the firemen battalion immediately buries the pot to make food. Before the fourth watch, all the battalions must have enough food for the battle, and the fifth watch will attack."

The deputy general couldn't help being startled, Hu Yanhao's arrangement made it clear that he was going to steal the camp and rob the village, he said suspiciously: "General, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to rob the camp at this time? The last general has heard that Liu Yin used soldiers like a god, How can we not be unprepared for camping at night, and our army may be afraid of being ambushed by the Shu people when we go to rob the camp."

Hu Yanhao glared at him, and said: "Who said I was going to rob the camp, have you ever heard of someone who went out to rob the camp at the fifth watch?"

The lieutenant general couldn't help being stunned again, yes, other people steal camps and rob villages, and they all start their operations in the middle of the night when the enemy is sleeping. Hu Yanhao chose the time of attack at the fifth watch, and it was almost dawn at the fifth watch, and even sneaked up on a hair?

"What the general meant was..."

Hu Yanhao said calmly: "Defending Longji Ridge to the death is not a good strategy. You have also seen today's battle. Even relying on the dangerous terrain, it is difficult for us to defeat the Shu people. We can only take the initiative to take advantage of our cavalry. Only then can we defeat the Shu people in one fell swoop!"

The deputy general thought it was true, and praised repeatedly: "The general has a wonderful plan."

Hu Yanhao had a look of color on his face, and said: "Is it a clever plan? It's not even a question. It's just that marching and fighting is to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses. Use your own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses. Only in this way can you win a hundred battles."

The Huofu camp immediately got busy, slaughtering cattle and sheep, and preparing for the early morning battle meal. The Xiongnu soldiers in each battalion did not return to the camp, but took a short rest in place. Divide and eat.

Hu Yanhao rode a fiery red war horse, and the Hun cavalry was already ready to go, Hu Yanhao waved his hand: "Let's go!" More than ten thousand Hun cavalry left Longji Ridge in a mighty manner in the morning light, and headed to the mountains down the mountain. The camp of the Shu army killed them.

At dawn, the Shu army was still in the camp. Hu Yanhao chose to attack at this time because he took a fancy to this point. If it was still dark, it would hinder the cavalry's actions, not to mention that Hu Yanhao was also He didn't intend to sneak attack Jiezhai, he wanted to launch an attack from the front in an upright manner, completely destroying the camp of the Shu army.

Thousands of horses were galloping with great momentum. The sentry of the Shu army had already reported to Luo Xi immediately.

Adjacent to the enemy, the Shu army will definitely make arrangements at night to prevent the Huns from coming to steal the camp. All night, there is no problem. Thinking that the Huns were anti-customers, they took the initiative to attack.

It seems that after yesterday's battle, the Huns also realized that it is not a good strategy to stick to one's own defense, and they have to use the Huns' cavalry, a magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

But are the Huns really their advantage in riding and fighting?A sneer appeared on Luo Xi's face. The Yong'an Army fell down there, and it was about to get up there. Today's battle will definitely become a battle for the Yong'an Army to rectify its name!

"Pass down the order and prepare to meet the enemy!" Luo Xi gave the order loudly.

The Shu army immediately took action, and methodically threw themselves into the defense of the camp.

Now the Shu army camps at night, still surrounded by vans around the camp. This kind of camping method is relatively simple, eliminating the need for the Shu soldiers to dig trenches and erect fences, and greatly reducing the labor intensity of the Shu soldiers. After a whole day, they were exhausted, and if they expended a lot of physical strength to build the camp, the soldiers would not be able to get enough rest, which would definitely affect the state of the next day.

However, there is no such worry when using a side van. You only need to arrange the side vans end-to-end to surround the camp, and send sentries to watch at night. , the entire camp is safe and sound.

At this moment, the Huns attacked in large numbers, and the Shu army immediately went into battle, and the entire camp immediately became a huge formation of sidecars.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Hu Yanhao saw the Shu army forming a sidecar formation from a distance, and couldn't help but smiled contemptuously. It seems that the Shu people really don't have a long memory. Two years ago, it was the Xiongnu army in Jiexiu The formation of partial carriages was smashed, and the Shu army was killed. Now the Shu army has set up this formation of partial carriages again. Isn't that purely looking for abuse?
Hu Yanhao's attack on the camp this time naturally brought a trebuchet, a sharp weapon for destroying sidecars, and he did not rush to launch an attack, but ordered the discharge of the catapult, and first tore a hole from the sidecar formation.

The catapults of the Huns did not use the ball-shaped stone bombs like the catapults of the Shu army. They directly moved stones of similar size, put them on the catapult and threw them out.Although ordinary stones are easy to obtain, they are less accurate than spherical stone bullets. At the same time, they cannot roll forward after hitting the target, which is much more vulgar due to secondary damage.

However, although the catapults of the Huns were rough, their power was astonishing. Although the hit rate was low, once they hit the van, they could easily destroy the van and turn it into a pile of rotten wood.

The catapults of the Huns were indeed extraordinary, and they concentrated their strength and blasted, destroying many vans in succession. The Huns immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers, and took advantage of the situation to attack.
