Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

From a distance, Xu He saw Xiliang Iron Horse come and go freely, and walked calmly, gritted his teeth and grunted.

"Damn it! Take your troops back to camp."

"Xu Shuai, don't attack the city anymore?"

Xu He said angrily: "Beating the city, but also a fart!"

He turned and left, furious, and the morale of more than one hundred thousand Yellow Turban thieves was frustrated. Hearing that he didn't have to continue to attack the city, he was relieved, so they retreated and went back to the camp to correct the camp.

The Chinese army's account was brightly lit, and Xu He looked angry.

I think this commander has swept across Qingzhou and the Central Plains since he started his army. Even Bao Xin's servant was defeated by the general, but today he was defeated so embarrassed, really annoyed.

Thinking about it, whether it is to siege the city or to encircle and suppress the enemy cavalry is quite unfavorable, but the Jujube city is small, only need to make careful arrangements, it is not difficult to break the city.

The key lies in the enemy's cavalry, who come and go freely, which is extremely difficult.

"Go, call Zhou Su over, this commander has important matters to discuss with him!" Didn't Zhou Su just fight the enemy cavalry today? Even if he loses, he probably has a lot of experience, but you can ask him, Xu And thought so.

After a while, a shadow outside the account slowly came.

"Xu Shuai summons what will be the end?"

Xu He looked up and saw that Zhou Su's right shoulder was wrapped around a strip of cloth, soaked in blood, and he looked dying.

"Hmph, come in." Xu He frowned, "Ask you, today you led the soldiers to fight the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. It is estimated that you have a bit of experience. If you don't solve this cavalry, our army will definitely be attacked. The enemy's endless troubles, if you want to break through the city, you don't know when you will have to wait."

Zhou Su sighed: "There are young horses in the Central Plains. Most of the horses in the army are ridden by generals and generals, which is not enough. The enemy cavalry is extremely powerful."

"It's better, please order the commander, the commander under the command of tens of thousands of soldiers to lay down the horses, our army selects elite soldiers and also organizes a cavalry to contain the Xiliang cavalry with cavalry, and create fighters for the infantry to hit the Xiliang cavalry. ."

Zhou Su suggested.

Xu He shook his head: "How much effort will it take to form a cavalry. I'm afraid it will take at least ten days and a half to form an army. Our army can't just waste half a month."

"Yeah..." Zhou Su groaned in his heart for a while, and then said: "Our army can dig a trench two feet deep and one foot wide each half a mile, a mile, and a mile and a half away, and more. Set up antlers and reject horses, so that the advantage of the enemy cavalry in conflicts will naturally disappear."

Xu He nodded: "This strategy is not bad. In that case, you will supervise the matter. Tomorrow morning, the supervising 30,000 soldiers will dig three trenches and set up antlers to stop the horse at the dangerous points."

"In addition, the formation of cavalry units must also be handled together. In the future, the cavalry will be indispensable for our army to fight the world."

Zhou Su immediately clasped his fists, but because of the excessive movement, he was involved in the wound on his shoulder. He grinned and took a breath.

"Listening to the general, it seems that we will continue to attack the city tomorrow?" Zhou Su asked.

Xu He slapped the table with his palm, and said coldly: "This is natural, wild jujube is not a small town. Our army only needs to attack continuously and can break wild jujube in three days."

Zhou Su looked distressed: "Xu Shuai, in the opinion of the general, tomorrow is better to postpone the siege."

Xu He frowned, and his sullen expression was gloomy: "Why?"

Zhou Su bowed his head and said: "Today was disrupted by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the morale of more than 100,000 troops was low. If tomorrow's siege will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, one day's rest can restore morale."

"Moreover, the reason why our army's siege is unfavorable today is that there are not many siege equipment. Liu Ye seems to be prepared long ago. He has already cut down the trees around Jujube City. It is difficult for our army to make siege equipment. With a large number of ladders and siege vehicles, it will be easy to break through the city of Jujube."

Zhou Su clasped his fist and said: "Therefore, the general thought it would be better to take a day off tomorrow and launch an army to search for trees ten miles away and make siege equipment. The final general will lead his soldiers to dig trenches."

Xu He frowned when Zhou Su said so, but slowly nodded.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll listen to you. Anyway, Jujube is just a small town, so it's good to be ready." Xu He's expression eased.

Zhou Su was overjoyed: "If this is the case, I will go down and give orders."

"Well, let's go down." Xu He nodded, expressing permission, and Zhou Su immediately walked out of the camp.

On the second day, when the sun just rose, all the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves were all activated and filed out of the camp.

Seeing that the 30,000 Yellow Turban thieves were far away from the Jujube, Liu Ye on the top of the city suddenly frowned: "Could it be that Xu and this servant are going to divide their forces to attack other states and counties?"

Jia Xu said with relief: "The general can rest assured that Xu He's division of troops will only make his forces weaker and weaker. Moreover, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers garrisoned at Hulao Pass, and Xu Gongming stays behind to assist the public, so there will be no loss."

Liu Ye nodded, but when he saw the movement of the Yellow Scarf thief under the city, he frowned again.

"It seems that Meng Qi and Lingming led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry into the battle yesterday, and the Yellow Turban thief has come up with a solution."

Jia Xu followed Liu Ye's gaze and saw that the Yellow Turban thief, one mile away from the city, was divided into three groups, each digging trenches, the depth and width of the trenches were gradually deepening.

"Xiliang iron riders come and go freely, but if they get stuck in a trench, they can't get out. Xu He can't think of a way." Liu Ye frowned and shook his head.

Jia Xu sighed: "It's a pity that the Xiliang cavalry of General Mengqi will greatly diminish the holding capacity."

Yu Jinque on the side said: "It's okay, General Mengqi can lead Xiliang iron cavalry to intercept and kill the enemy's food and grass, which is not without a small supplement."

"Hurry up! Dig quickly." Zhou Su yelled, hanging one arm.

"kill!"

Suddenly the sound of the horns in the distance sounded, Zhou Su's expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the direction of the horns.

Xiliang Iron Horse!

"Ride and shoot!"

Ma Chao yelled, and the five thousand Xiliang iron horses behind him came like a cloud and pounced forward. Under Ma Chao's order, he opened his bow and set arrows, aiming at the Yellow Scarf thief in front of him.

Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves digging trenches did not line up, so naturally there was no defense. Unexpectedly, the Xiliang cavalry would suddenly rush up, and more than five thousand arrows flew out and fell suddenly.

"what!"

There were screams one after another, and nearly a thousand Yellow Turban thieves fell to the ground. Naturally, the remaining Yellow Turban thieves did not dare to continue digging trenches.

After yesterday's lesson, Zhou Su can be said to have learned from it, and immediately ordered the army to form a round formation to prevent the Xiliang cavalry from entering the army.
