Chapter 799 I'm gone, I'm back

   "General Hu, when and where Feng thief fled, we must find out immediately."

  Xiahou Baji said urgently, with a look of anxiety on his face.

   It is very easy to find out these two points. After all, Wei Guo has been in Guanzhong for many years, and Hu Zun is from a local rich family.

  According to several natives and a small tribe of Hu people nearby, the Shu captives had withdrawn from the camp yesterday and headed west.

   Not long before, a dozen or so riders came out and ran in the direction of the Shu captive.

   It seems that nine out of ten are the ones left by the Shu captives to make final arrangements.

   "General, shall we pursue or not?"

   "If the Shu captives want to run, one day is enough for them to run far." Xia Houba said with an ugly face, "What's more, they have many horses in their army."

  The most important thing is that one thing must be determined as soon as possible.

   "General Hu, when will the next news come from Jingyang?"

   "I have already ordered, and there will be a fast horse to deliver the news every day."

  Xiahouba's face didn't soften much after hearing this: "Even so, what we know now is at most two days ago."

   It takes one day from Jingyang to Linjing, and another day from Linjing to Yuezhi City.

  This is still imaginary, but in reality, it may take another half a day.

"What's the meaning?"

  Hu Zun still couldn't react.

   "Feng Thief this time, is he pretending to be suspicious, or is he really running away in cowardice?"

  Xia Houba's face turned livid, "It's fine if he runs away timidly, but if he pretends to be suspicious, where is his real army?"

   "Wuzhi City and Jingyang City?"

  Hu Zun's complexion also changed.

   "I see Bandit Feng, he has tens of thousands of people, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a suspicious soldier..."

  Hu Zun was somewhat unwilling to believe it, or he wanted to find an excuse to convince himself.

  After all... how can anyone take tens of thousands of cavalry as suspects?

  Xiahouba was also a little hesitant.

  But the neatly stacked logs left by the Shu captives in the camp made him feel inexplicably terrified.

   There seemed to be someone looking at him proudly in front of his eyes: Do you think I am confused by you, or am I confusing you?

   "No, we can't take this risk!" Xia Houba gritted his teeth and said, "General Hu, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case."

   "Lead the army back to Linjing first. If there is a change in Jingyang, you can make preparations in advance."

  Hu Zun asked: "What about you?"

   "I stay in Yuezhi City!"

   "But Ruo Na Feng's move is just a fake retreat..."

   "It doesn't matter, you just leave all the cavalry, plus the defenders of Yuezhi City, it is enough to deal with it!"

  Xiahouba, who felt that he had fallen into the mist, could only grit his teeth and stiffen.

  Xiaowen and... are really not to be underestimated!

   Between advancing and retreating, people feel a sense of dilemma.

  Hearing what Xiahouba said, Hu Zun could only nod his head, "Forget it, then General Xiahou must be careful."

  Although doing so may damage the morale of soldiers, but as far as it is concerned, this is the only way.

   Unable to determine where Xiao Wenhe's real army is, it is really too passive.

   "A good defender hides under the nine grounds, a good attacker moves above the nine heavens..."

  Xiahouba muttered to himself, "Who can fight with General Zhang in Jieting, is he a kind person? I still underestimate the heroes of the world."

   This remark slapped the two of them in the face, and Hu Zun coughed in embarrassment:

   "As the general said, this Zeitgeist Feng is too cunning, and I don't want to make it up..."

  Xia Houba didn't answer Hu Zun's talk, and felt a faint uneasiness about Feng Yong's behavior that seemed to be hidden but not hidden, and what seemed to be revealed but not revealed.

   "General Hu, do you think we should inform Chang'an's Fuguo General to lead the army north now..."

   "Not good?" Hu Zun's face showed a look of embarrassment, "General Fuguo is in Chang'an, and his main purpose is to support Da Sima."

   "If the situation is not clear, let General Fuguo lead the army northward at this time, wouldn't it affect Da Sima's southern expedition?"

   Seeing that Hu Zun disagreed, Xia Houba thought about it, and felt that he was too worrying.

  I laughed at myself immediately: "It's because I didn't think carefully."

  The Southern Expedition to the Shu Captives was written by the Great Sima, and His Majesty came here despite the objections of the important officials in the court.

  If Nan Zheng was affected because of improper handling of Feng thief, then the title of incompetence must be attributed to the two of them.

   It was my wish to kill the thief to avenge my father, so I took the initiative to invite Ying to come to the front of the battle with the Shu captives.

  If his incompetence affected the overall situation of the Southern Expedition, even if he was born with the surname Xiahou, he might have to return to Luoyang for refrigeration.

  An Ding County has a favorable location, and people are friendly. As for the weather, it just depends on God’s will.

  Even if you can't attack, can't you still defend?

  Jia Wenhe is also human, not to mention Xiao Wenhe also brought a small print?

  Xiahouba secretly regained his confidence.

   On the surface, Hu Zun said that Feng Zei couldn't use Wanqi as a suspect, but in fact he was a little apprehensive.

  After he left the cavalry he brought over to Xiahouba, he hurried back with the remaining infantry the next day.

  Just one day after Hu Zun left, the cavalry led by Feng Yong appeared before Xia Houba again.

  Everything is as usual, there is no need to set up camp again, just repair the camp that Xia Houba has not had time to destroy, and then set up camp again.

  Xiahouba at the head of the city saw all this, his face became extremely gloomy.

   "General, should we let General Hu lead the army back?"

  The general below asked in a low voice.

   "No need!" Xia Houba gritted his teeth, "Feng Thief's move is just to contain our army. If General Hu comes back, I'm afraid it will be in the hands of Feng Thief."

   "If he has the ability, why don't he try to capture this month's branch city?"

  If it was the first time that Thief Feng really saw through the reality of Yuezhi City and did not dare to attack the city, then this time, he had an extra cavalry army in his hand, and he would not believe that Thief Feng really dared to attack?

  He had just turned his mind to this point, when he saw that the Shu captives below had already moved.

  The wood that was originally placed in the camp, but I hadn't had time to deal with it, was moved out.

  Looking at the formation, it seems that they are starting to build siege equipment.

  Seeing this, Xia Houba's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water: How dare he? How dare he?

  Below Yuezhi City, just as Feng Yong put down his binoculars, Zhao Guang came over: "Brother, are we really going to attack the city?"

   "If you don't attack the city, what will I have people build this ladder and rush cars for?"

  Feng Yong looked at Yuezhi City in front of him, and said calmly, "I'm not here to travel, go, call me the people from the Yi Congjun."

  Yi led more than a thousand lieutenants from the army, and they were either the first to be promoted by the school lieutenant's mansion, or they were directly placed in by the school lieutenant's mansion. After coming over, they all saluted: "I have seen you."

  Feng Yong nodded and pointed to Yuezhi City:

   "The highest point of this city is only three and a half feet (more than eight meters), and the ladder can be used to pass it. Tomorrow, the Yi Congjun army will start attacking the city. Is there any problem?"

   Most of the cities that need siege equipment to attack are more than ten meters long. For large cities, they can reach twelve meters or even fifteen meters.

  A city more than 8 meters long like Yuezhi City can’t be too high or too low because its original purpose was to give the Hu people a place to live. It was impossible to build too high and thick from the beginning.

  Although Xiahouba built on the original foundation after taking over.

  But the foundation of the city is not good. Unless it is overthrown and restarted, no matter how much it is built, it is impossible to build a city more than ten meters long.

  Although Feng Yong does not have an engineering battalion on hand, he has cannon fodder.

   As long as he made up his mind to attack the city with ants, it would be a simple matter.

  After all... In addition to the dazzling siege equipment in Huqiang Xiaowei's Mansion, Ant Fu siege is one of the most important siege methods in this era.

   It doesn't matter whether the attack is successful or not, the important thing is to put pressure on Wei Jun and send a wrong message to Wei Jun.

  The tribal commander Qu Shuai who participated in the Yi Congjun basically came here with the consciousness of selling the heads of his own tribal warriors.

  Hearing what Feng Junhou said, they all agreed.

  After arranging all this, the leaders of the Yi Cong Army went down to make preparations, and then Zhao Guang came over: "Brother, what am I going to do, little brother?"

   "The Wei army cavalry outside the city will be handed over to you. If one of them rushes over to affect the siege..."

   "Little brother is willing to issue a military order!"

  Zhao Guang looked serious, straightened his body and said.

  The Wei army cavalry outside the city, according to the reconnaissance of the Dark Night Camp, was no more than four to five thousand at most.

  If the new type of cavalry can still give them a chance to rush to the camp when the number is slightly superior, then I will be ashamed to lead the cavalry of the school captain's mansion.

  Feng Yong's decision to attack the city was obviously beyond Xia Houba's expectations.

On the second day, when Xia Houba watched the barbarians under the city, driven by the Shu captives, carrying the simple ladders and carts built the day before, and began to rush down the city, his expression was even uglier than yesterday .

  I saw him turn to the lieutenant beside him:

   "You come to defend the city, and I will lead the cavalry outside the city!"

   Whether Yuezhi City can be defended, the key is not inside the city, but outside the city.

  Xiahouba, who personally captured Yuezhi City, knew this better than anyone else.

  The original cavalry army of Yuezhi City and the cavalry army brought by Hu Zun were combined into one, and they were arranged outside the city, which is equivalent to reducing the number of defenders in the city.

  In addition, the city wall of Yuezhi City is not high, so it is very difficult to defend it with the city.

  So if you want to repel Feng thief, the key is to rely on the cavalry outside the city.

  Seeing the worried look on the lieutenant general's face, Xia Houba encouraged:

   "It's okay, just look at those under the city, they are all barbarians, but they were pushed out by Feng thief to die, you can just guard it with peace of mind."

   After encouraging the lieutenant general, he hurriedly set off from the other city gate to join the cavalry outside.

   "Boom boom boom..."

  The drums of war sounded.

   "Woooooooooooo..."

  The horn blows.

  The first batch of rebels quickly began to rush up.

  Hu people are good at riding and archery, and with the three-piece cavalry suit funded by the Colonel’s Mansion, they rushed to the city like a whirlwind, and with the help of the charging horsepower, they raised their bows and shot arrows...

   Then go back.

   Continue to keep up with the next wave of riding and shooting.

  The Wei army on Yuezhi City did not show weakness, and shot down at the same time.

  For a moment, the arrows from both sides in the air intertwined like a net.

  Under the city and under the city, people were constantly being shot, screaming miserably.

  Especially the Yi Cong Army, not only did not have any cover, but also because of the size of the horses, it was easier for the Wei Army to hit the target.

  The horses were wounded and screamed before dying, adding a bit of tragedy to the noise on the battlefield.

  The scene in front of him can only be regarded as a normal thing for Feng Yong now.

  For more than a hundred years, the Liangzhou Qianghu rebellion used this most primitive, barbaric, and at the same time the most cruel method to break through the cities of Yongliang and Liangzhou.

  Them today are just repeating what their predecessors did.

  The only difference is that Feng Langjun behind them promised them a future.

  For this future, they must show enough performance.

   "My lord, Cao's cavalry army appeared in the southeast."

  A soldier of the Dark Night Battalion sent the newly discovered battle situation.

   "Send this information to General Zhao, and at the same time send an order to him, telling him to defeat this bandit cavalry army."

   "No!"

   Zhao Guang, who had been anxiously waiting for the news, immediately became overjoyed when he received Feng Yong's military order:

   "Go back and tell Junhou, unless Cao thief rushes over with my head in his hand, they will never take a step forward!"

   Then he immediately got on his horse and shouted:

   "Everyone is there, get on your horse, go to the southeast, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

  The whistle of the cavalry barracks rang immediately, and the soldiers checked their armors, put on their helmets, got on their horses, and began to move forward as a team.

  Then Xia Houba, who led the army, saw such a cavalry army: horses covered in leather armor at key points, and knights in armor sitting all over their bodies.

  From a distance, it looks like a piece of gray-black land carrying a crimson blood tide, which is constantly surging.

  Although he hadn't formally joined the battle, Xia Houba's eyelids were already twitching: This thief Feng, where did such an elite cavalry come from?

   No wonder Xia Houba was surprised.

  Because the Shu captives had shrunk in the land of Shu before, the whole country could not produce a decent cavalry army at all.

   I heard that the Shu captives invaded the north in a false way, and they still used infantry to compete with Liangzhou iron cavalry.

  It's a pity that Longguan was attacked by Feng thief, and the Guanzhong army could not enter Longyou. Otherwise, how could the Shu captives have the arrogance they have today?

   I just didn't expect that in less than three years, the Shu captives would be able to form such an elite cavalry army.

   Such a cavalry army, he has only seen in the old tiger and leopard cavalry camp that was incorporated into the New Fifth Army in Luoyang.

  But now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired.

   If you don't break through the cavalry army of the Shu captives on the opposite side, then you won't be able to support the soldiers defending the city.

  Xiahouba immediately ordered: "Get ready to charge!"

  He turned around and saw that many soldiers had expressions of horror on their faces, and immediately shouted:

   "The Shu captives had no cavalry in the past, and even Ma Chao, who could be called a cavalry general, has been dead for several years."

   "This cavalry army looks fine in armor and weapons, but if there is no cavalry general to lead it, it will be a mess!"

   "I will personally lead the army in the future, and anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"

   After finishing speaking, he dispatched a charging arrow array, intending to fight the Shu captives in front of him for life and death.

  The so-called charging arrow formation is like an arrow-shaped formation. The main general is located in front of the formation and leads the charge. It is most suitable for brave generals to charge the formation.

  Zhao Guang held the binoculars that he had finally gotten from his elder brother, saw the opponent's formation, and smiled:

   "That's all! Come on, pass the order down, and put on a fish scale array!"

  The charging arrow array is fast, allowing the cavalry to charge quickly. The fish-scale array is wider than the arrow array, and the soldiers are densely distributed, so the charging speed will be slower.

  But compared with the armored cavalry of the Han army, this expanded formation of the front army can just expand the advantage of the semi-heavy cavalry.

   What's more, in order to save horsepower, it is impossible for A to increase the speed all at once when charging.

  Facing the opponent's cavalry army who doesn't even have all the guards, the speed does not need to be ranked first.

   More importantly, Zhao Guang still held a hanger opener in his hand.

  The ground began to rumble and shake...
