original. The second trench is much shallower than the first. No wonder they fill so fast. What's more annoying is. The north side of the trench is also a gentle slope. It's not straight up and down like the first trench. They don't need to fill up the soil at all, they can directly rush over.
Digging the trench shallowly can save a lot of effort. Digging into a gentle slope is also less laborious than digging into a cliff. If they are as delicate as the first trench dug. It is simply impossible to expand the defense depth to twenty miles in such a short period of time.
Wuheng cavalry screamed and rushed forward. There was a loud noise of "Rumble" in the distance. Countless stones fell from the sky. The Wuheng cavalry in the Mercedes fell one after another. but. The casualties were much smaller than the first time. It was not annihilated like the last time.
Go further. The situation is almost exactly the same as before. The zama nails on the ground made them all turn their backs on their backs. Then came the dense arrow rain. Later, 3,000 infantry soldiers armed with sharp swords rushed out to kill them. After finally getting rid of these infantry. In front of them was another wide trench.
Ke Dun was driven to madness by a trench on the left and a trench on the right by the Han army. Without even thinking about it, he ordered the entire army to rush over. but. This time he miscalculated again. The third trench was dug as deep as the first trench. There is also a "cliff" to the north. The more than 6,000 Wuheng cavalry rushing to the forefront were again smashed to pieces by the stone rain.
The Han family's art of war is inherently fictitious, fictitious, and fictitious. How can such a barbarian understand? It is inevitable to get in the game.
The Wuheng cavalry finally passed the third trench. There are only more than 50,000 people left in the army of 100,000. That is, they are not afraid of death. Otherwise, it changed to another army. Perhaps it has already collapsed. Even so. Everyone was also frightened.
Nanqiu and Hanlu fought together and came to Yu Dun's side. He folded his hands and said: "Majesty. The Han people are too cunning. You can't see the enemy in the dark. It's better to withdraw your troops for the time being. You will come back after dawn. I hope the king will think twice."
Hesitant is also hesitant. Then I saw the faces of the soldiers next to me showing exhaustion. Only then nodded. Said: "Just as you waited. Retreat for the time being. Retreat is fine. But tonight. These three gaps must be filled for me."
Just now in order to attack as soon as possible. These three trenches were only half filled. Although barely able to guarantee that the war horse leaped over. But the speed of the war horse can't get up. Suddenly let his subordinates continue to fill the soil. It is also preparing for the offense after dawn.
The Wuheng people paused the attack. Shi Huan and Wang Wei were also very relieved. Immediately ordered the excavation of the fourth trench. In fact. With their manpower. In such a short time. Three trenches were dug in time. otherwise. They will not come up with a way to use the virtual reality. Dig the second trench like that.
Not only is there no ditch cover in the future. There are only rough fields that have been dug in a hurry. Even the infantry that can fight to the death with Wuheng cavalry is gone. Although drastic and resolute can effectively restrain the cavalry. But not everyone can swing freely. That requires a lot of effort. There were only 9,000 qualified soldiers under Shi Huan and Wang Wei. Still selected from the entire First Army. Only in the middle of the night. They have all given their lives for the country. Plus other soldiers who died in the battle. Now they have only 35,000 people left. And mainly archers and crossbowmen. There are also a certain number of slingers. Only five thousand shield soldiers and pikemen in the team can compete with the Wuheng cavalry. If the Wuheng people rushed up at this time. It will be difficult for them to persist.
The hesitant hesitation gave the Han army a chance to breathe. Everyone knew what the trench that was about to be dug meant to them. Although there has been no rest for a day and night. And just experienced a fierce battle. But none of them complained. Everyone was sweating like rain. Even Shi Huan and Wang Wei took off their armor. He jumped into the trench himself.
No one thought of it. They carefully set up three trenches. In the middle of the night, these fierce Wuheng cavalry broke through. It is no longer possible to dig a fifth trench. This fourth trench is very important. Can you stop the advance of Wuheng cavalry? Just watch it.
Baskets of soil were transported out. Behind the trenches were piled up small mounds of different sizes. The originally flat terrain was transformed into uneven. This can have a certain impact on the actions of Wuheng cavalry.
The east gradually became white. The fourth trench was finally completed. Shi Huan threw the "engineering shovel" in his hand. Fall asleep. This "engineering shovel" is carefully made by the research institute based on Ma Yun's narrative. It is not only very convenient for excavating fortifications. It is also very suitable for close combat. It is the standard equipment of the Corps of Engineers. This time, their 50,000 people are undertaking the most important blocking task. Xu Huang specially allocated 20,000 "engineering shovel" from the Corps of Engineers to them. It is to speed up the construction of defensive positions.
As the commander of this important battle. Shi Huan was also under tremendous psychological pressure. He must take the time to rest. To restore energy and physical strength as soon as possible. Many young soldiers also lay down. They are so tired. If you don't sleep for a while. I'm afraid I won't even be able to open the bow for a while.
Wang Wei temporarily took over the command. He grabbed the telescope. Watching nervously the movements of the Wuheng cavalry on the opposite side. The sky is getting brighter. The unkempt yellow hair of those Wuheng cavalry can already be clearly seen. Wang Wei lifted the telescope slightly. Look farther away. Suddenly, I found a large amount of dust leaping up over there.
See this scene. Wang Wei was slightly excited. It is estimated that the ambush of the Han army should have arrived. He gently stabbed Shi Huan, who was snoring. Suddenly the expression on his face condensed. Cold sweat oozes from his forehead.
In the telescope. A red flag fluttered in the wind. A strong "yan" on the flag told Wang Wei. This is not an ambush of the Han army. It was Yuan Jun's cavalry. And it was Yan Liang who led the troops personally.
Shi Huan didn't sleep too much. Was stabbed by Wang Wei. Immediately jumped from the ground. Asked loudly: "General Wang. What's the situation?"
Wang Wei passed the telescope in his hand. Anxiously said, "General Shi, please take a look. Yan Liang's army has arrived."
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are also known as the two famous generals in Hebei. The prestige has already spread to Jingzhou. Shi Huan and Wang Wei have heard about it. I heard that Yan Liang had arrived in person. Shi Huan couldn't help but his spirit. The so-called famous is not as good as meeting. Shi Huan followed Xu Huang and others very early. Liu Xin's six righteous brothers. Which one is not brave enough. He didn't believe how Yan Liang could go. If you can kill Yan Liang in one battle. He can also be famous all over the world.
Take over the telescope in Wang Wei's hand. Sure enough, Shi Huan saw a burst of violence in the Wuheng Cavalry. Several horses rushed south. The cloud of smoke from the south came extremely fast. No doubt he is a cavalry. Although Shi Huan had ambitions. But I dare not forget my mission. Waved. The soldiers released the signal. Ten yellow fireworks exploded in mid-air.
It was Yan Liang and his 100,000 Yuan Jun cavalrymen who came. This is a force that Yuan Jun is proud of. In the battle with Cao Cao. It was the cavalry led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou who repeatedly turned the tide.
After Yu Dun led the Wuheng cavalry to leave Liyang. Two more hours passed. Yan Liang's cavalry was assembled. Yuan Jun cavalry is not as capable of enduring hardship as Wuheng cavalry. Marching overnight is too demanding for them. but. Worried about the safety of Yecheng. Yan Liang still urged the team. It was not until midnight that I found an open area to camp and rest. Before dawn, the soldiers called out again. This was before sunrise and successfully met with the Wuheng Cavalry.
I heard that Wuheng cavalry fought all night. Lost half of the crew. Yan Liang was also taken aback. but. Yan Liang has always had the best face. In front of the trio of Yi Dun, Nan Qiao, and Hanlu, he did not want to show any hesitation. Could not help but sneer. Waved his hand. Said: "King Paidun. You fight all night. You have worked hard. Please stand on the side to watch the enemy and raise the battle. Let's see how Yan can break the enemy."
Hadun originally wanted to explain to Yan Liang the tactics of the Han army. Tell Yan Liang. The Han army has a "demon method" that can make war horses lose their feet. There are crossbows with a range of up to four hundred steps. There is also a great axe that can split a cavalry company and a horse into two halves. But seeing Yan Liang's face full of arrogance. The words that came to his lips flinched back.
To know. Even Yuan Shao was courteous and courteous when he saw Yi Dun. You Yan Liang is just a brave husband under Yuan Shao. Why do you show prestige in front of me? Not to mention the battle last night. Wu Heng suffered heavy losses. During the fierce battle, I didn't think there was any problem. One stop to rest. Morale is obviously much lower. Not only wasted. Even Nan Qiao, Khan Lu and other Wuheng cavalry. After listening to Yan Liang's words. The boss is not happy in my heart.
However, Yan Liang didn't pay attention to the expressions of Yu Dun and others at all. Gently waved his whip. Sweeping past them with his own men and horses. The others choked so much that their heads and faces were covered with dust.
but. They took off their clothes three times last night to fill the soil. He has already made himself like a mud monkey. I don't care if there is so much dust.
Yan Liang took the lead. Come to the front of the two armies. Looking into the distance with a pergola. The battle last night left the remains of many soldiers from both sides. Now they have been buried under the orders of Datong. There are not many traces. The Han army on the opposite side was hidden under the trench. Quietly. No one was seen. Yan Liang couldn't help but smiled contemptuously. The big knife in his hand pointed towards the opposite side. He shouted in a deep voice: "Kill."
Yuan Jun's cavalry attack did not rush forward like Wu Heng. Rather, it is divided into waves of unequal numbers according to the strength of the troops. Yan Liang led a full 100,000 cavalry today. More troops. There are more options to choose from. The first wave of attack power he sent out was Five Thousand Qingqi. This is also a tentative attack.
