Eight hundred and twentieth nine chapters into the rear(1/5)
"Although there are not many guards in Wuchao City, they are guarded by Jingua God himself. It will not be easy for the Xiongnu to capture Wuchao City."
Although General Lu said everything was fine, his face was filled with worry.
There are less than 40,000 garrison troops in Wuchao City, including various types of handymen and civilian soldiers. The real combatants are only 20,000 at best.
With 20,000 defenders fighting against hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu elites, one can imagine the pressure.
Just when General Lu was worried, the sky was about to break, and the mighty carriages were already heading towards Jiudaoguai Barracks in the morning light.
Zhou Sen remained silent, thinking, and he also thought about what General Lu was worried about.
Judging from the current situation, the Huns' cavalry that penetrated deeply into Wuchao City had already pinned down at least two barracks. The Maple Grove Barracks, the only one that had not been harassed, probably did not dare to act rashly for fear of a sneak attack by the Huns.
The mobility of the Huns' cavalry is extremely good, and Wuchao City is close to the Dark Forest. In addition to the complex terrain, in order to facilitate transportation, transportation is extending in all directions. If you want to wipe out those cavalry in a short time, it will definitely not be possible in a short time.
of.
Judging from the current situation, it will take some time for the three barracks to rush to the aid of Wuchao City, which can be as short as ten days and a half, or as long as several months.
Zhou Sen guessed that the Hun cavalry who attacked Jiudaoguai Barracks and wreaked havoc should have evacuated long ago. After all, Jiudaoguai Barracks was just a barracks. It could not hold on like Wuchao City. Moreover, the greatest advantage of the Huns cavalry was mobility.
Sexually, their number is not enough to occupy the huge barracks in Jiudaoguai. Facing the continuous reinforcements of the imperial army, they will definitely use their speed to leave, and then use the mobility of the cavalry to harass and destroy the territory of Wuchao City, creating tension.
atmosphere……
…
no!
There is no point in going to Jiudaoguai Barracks at this time.
Although one hundred people have good skills, they have no heavy weapons, no backup, no supplies, and no war horses. If they rush to the Jiudaoguai area rashly, they will not be able to play a fundamental role.
The Huns' cavalry fought hand to hand, only to die.
Zhou Sen stopped the motorcade and everyone gathered together to discuss.
"It makes no sense for us to rush to Jiudaoguai now." Zhou Sen expressed his thoughts.
"Then where should we go? Why don't we go directly to Wuchao City to help?" Xiao Yi said.
"Yes, we can go directly to Wuchao City to help." Cai Ping immediately agreed. After all, he is a border guard in Wuchao City.
"Well, rushing to the aid of Wuchao City is better than rushing to the aid of the Jiudaoguai Barracks...but...I always feel that something is wrong there..." Zhou Sen frowned.
"Zhou Sen, I know why you feel something is wrong." The mad Taoist priest touched his beard and looked resourceful.
"Um?"
"If things are really as you say, then the Huns will arrange a large number of rangers to guard the traffic arteries leading to Wuchao City. Their horses are extremely fast and lightning-fast, and they are good at riding and shooting. If we want
It may be difficult to avoid the heavy interceptions of those rangers without knowing it..."
"How many people do the Huns' rangers usually have in a group?" Zhou Sen asked.
"There are usually thirty people. Among the thirty people, there are at least five longbowmen. They are good at long-range sniping. In addition to the five longbowmen, most of them will also arrange a skill. The skill is responsible for close reconnaissance and melee combat to avoid being trapped in a tight siege.
As for the remaining people, they are all proficient in the art of riding and archery, and can use the horn bow to fire arrows in succession. When we patrol outside Wuchao City, we will be equipped with giant shields, leather armor and crossbows. A patrol team must at least have
Two strong men followed..." Cai Ping has been stationed at the border for a long time and is very familiar with the Huns' tactics.
"Thirty people..."
Zhou Sen smiled bitterly. If the Huns were divided into groups of thirty, then on the traffic artery leading to Wuchao City, the number of rangers in groups of thirty would be at least more than fifty. They would have no horses.
It's impossible to arrive at Wuchao City without anyone noticing.
Now, everyone is equipped with arrows, armor, and giant shields, but they have no horses.
A soldier without a horse is a tiger without teeth.
Although these one hundred people are all elites in Wuchao City, if they are to face the fierce Huns cavalry on foot, even if they win, they will have to pay a huge price, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
It is conceivable that after the thirty-man rangers encountered them, they first launched long-range sniping attacks from longbowmen, and then, as dozens of people approached, there was a burst of horn bows, and a violent and stormy iron-hoof charge followed one after another. This hundred-man squad was probably
Collapse at the first touch...
Zhou Sen once went deep into the prairie. Although he did not see the Huns' war, he saw with his own eyes that the Huns' arrow shooting skills were extremely popular. Almost everyone was a master of mounted archery. Although their shooting skills were not
The true art of shooting arrows, but its archery skills are also extremely difficult to deal with.
Theoretically, Zhou Sen's archery skills can easily kill thirty people, but that is only theoretical, because those thirty people are rangers, and their positions will keep moving when they encounter powerful enemies.
, would immediately run away without getting entangled. It was impossible for Zhou Sen to pursue thirty Huns on horseback in all directions.
In addition, other students cannot reach Zhou Sen's speed. If Zhou Sen chases the Hun Rangers, he will inevitably be separated from the students, and the students will be exposed to the sharp arrows of the Rangers. After all, the Rangers are not
There is only one...
After much thought, no one could come up with a complete solution.
It would be great if we could get some Hun horses...
Hun horse!
Hun horse!
Suddenly, a crazy idea grew and spread uncontrollably in Zhou Sen's mind, like the vines after the rain.
Get behind enemy lines!
"Since the Huns can climb over the dark forest and rush into the hinterland of Wuchao City, then we can also climb over the dark forest and rush into the prairie." Zhou Sen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said word by word. At this moment,
Zhou Sen thought of the ancient champion Hou Huo Qubing, who was the God of War who shook the ancient world.
There was a moment of silence.
Breathtaking silence.
The faces of the elite students were filled with endless enthusiasm, and everyone was excited by Zhou Sen's crazy idea.
"We don't have any war horses..." Cai Ping was the first to calm down.
"We can snatch them. There are as many good horses on the grassland as there are stars in the sky!" The mad Taoist priest's face turned red because of his excitement, and his eyes shot out a heart-stopping light.
"We have no food or supplies..." Cai Ping hesitated.
"We can grab it!" This time, it was Xiao Yi who spoke.
"But……"
"Yes, we have no war horses, no food, no supplies, and we even have no backup, but what do we have to worry about? There are no war horses. The herdsmen have many good horses, and their horses are naturally war horses. We
Without food, will we be short of food on the grassland? Herds of cattle and sheep are at our mercy! As for reinforcements, well, that is a problem, but is it really a problem? We have no target, we are burning, killing and looting on the grassland.
, we don’t need reinforcements at all, it’s better not to have reinforcements, we don’t have to worry about anything..."
"Yes! We have nothing to worry about, and we have nothing to worry about. At worst, the blood will be stained in the yellow sand, and the horse leather will wrap the corpse!" Cai Ping gritted his teeth and said viciously.
"No, we don't need horse-hide shrouds!"
"..." Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"The military song should be sung with a big sword ring, swearing to destroy the Xiongnu when they leave the border. You can only die for the country on the battlefield, why should you return your body wrapped in horse leather!" Zhou Sen impressively climbed on the roof of the awning car, called out the thick-backed long sword, and sang loudly.
"Yes, why return the corpse wrapped in horse leather?"
"Why return the corpse wrapped in horse leather!"
"Why return the corpse wrapped in horse leather!"
…
The crowd sang loudly, blood boiled in their veins, and morale was high.
Zhou Sen stood on the roof of the car, holding a thick-backed long sword in his hand, looking up at the white fish belly in the sky, his long hair flying in the morning breeze, and the standard black armor of the Han Empire shining with a heart-stopping metallic luster in the morning light.
The awning car was abandoned.
Food and weapons were stuffed into Zhou Sen's two Qiankun Rings until they couldn't fit anymore.
The students took off their thick armor and put on light armor.
Under the morning light, a hundred elite students from Wuchao City marched towards the dense forest. Except for the sound of footsteps and the clanging of armor, no one made a sound. Everyone's face was filled with incomparable fanaticism.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Sen became the spiritual leader of everyone.
In fact, it is natural for Zhou Sen to be the leader, because he has passed the test of a three-star combat value. If General Lu's promise is fulfilled, Zhou Sen should actually obtain a four-star combat value badge.
No one doubts Zhou Sen's ability, because everyone here has seen Zhou Sen destroy the Shanggu Iron Monument and the Ten Elephants Iron Monument with his own eyes. His thrilling fighting spirit is frightening to think about now.
Searching for shortcuts along the way and marching hastily, we saw countless villages and towns that had been burned and looted. Many houses were still burning or billowing with smoke. People of the Han Empire were everywhere, dragging their children with their children to avoid the Huns' rangers. It was horrible to see.
Along the way, we also met countless Han Empire soldiers who were scattered by the rangers. Most of them had discarded their helmets and armor and were disheveled. In their eyes, there was fear and fear, and they had no intention of fighting.
At daybreak, everyone had arrived at the edge of the dark forest, which was already sparsely populated.
"Brothers, this battle is extraordinary. Perhaps, we can write history. Therefore, each of us must do it. When encountering danger, we must think of discipline, when we need to be quiet, we must be silent, and when we need to cheer, we must do it.
Let the voice be loud! We must remember that individual negligence will cause danger to the entire army, and individual efforts will also contribute to the success of the entire army. Today, let us open a new chapter in history!"
The hundreds of people were neatly organized without making the slightest sound. Every face showed determination and courage.
"We are students from Huangpu, and we cannot embarrass Huangpu. Similarly, we are the elites of Wuchao City, and we cannot embarrass Wuchao City. We are also strong, invincible and invincible. We cannot
