Chapter 60 The Han Army’s Counterattack ([-]) The fighting on the city wall lasted all day until the moonlight, the silver armor on the city wall shone brightly, and the sword blade shone like a meteor in the night shouts of the soldiers and the sound of fighting died down, replaced by the silence of the night.
The result of this battle was victory, but also a tragic soldiers on the city wall were tired and satisfied. They stared into the distance in the night, their hearts filled with expectations for the future and awe of the failed attackers silently packed up their remnants and prepared to challenge the pass again tomorrow.
"General, the defenders of Pingcheng lost 670 people, 590 were seriously injured, and 840 were slightly injured. We only have [-] men left to fight."
The defender Sima held back tears and reported the casualty data to Zhang He. These were not cold numbers, but living lives, all of which were his own.
Zhang He also fell silent. Only half of the three hundred Euphorbia soldiers under his command were left, but the military orders were like a mountain. Two days would be two days.
"There is no new order from my lord. We will withdraw from the pass tomorrow and release the people."
"Here!"
If the casualties of an army reach [-]%, they will withdraw from the battle and rest; if the casualties reach [-]%, the morale of the army will collapse; and today, Zhang He's defenders suffered casualties as high as [-]%, "Lord, He did his best."
After saying that, Zhang He fell asleep on the city wall.
On the other side of the Xianbei tent, Tan Shihuai once again invested [-] troops today, for a total of [-] troops. After a day of fighting, the casualties were nearly [-]. The pass had not been opened yet. Tan Shihuai was so angry that he paced back and forth, cursing his men. inability.
Tuoba Ang died in the battle while attacking the city, and Yu Wenshi was seriously injured.
If we can't attack again tomorrow, the wolf cub will definitely pounce on us! # Heading south for No. 14 days.
The Xianbei people, who originally thought they were going to go through a one-day battle, found that there were no defenders on the pass. All the defenders withdrew to the city and abandoned the pass.
After Tan Shihuai confirmed that there was no enemy ambush, he ordered the army to pass through the pass quickly.
However, the pass was too narrow for the army to pass quickly, especially after days of fighting and there were too many wounded soldiers to march quickly.
"Da Chanyu, that little wolf cub has led his army to attack!"
It was Que Ju who spoke.
"Damn!"
Tan Shihuai was anxious in his heart, this little wolf cub really knows how to find the right time! "Leave the seriously wounded behind and stop him. Everyone passes quickly. There are ten thousand troops outside the city. He doesn't dare to pursue him deeply."
Tan Shihuai is worthy of being a hero. A strong man is very decisive in cutting off his wrist. If he is entangled again today, it will be really hard to predict what will happen next.
"But."
Some leaders are reluctant to part with their sons and sons. After all, they are warriors who have experienced many wars and are elite members of the tribe. It is a pity to abandon them like this.
"If you want to die here, don't give up on them."
With that said, Tan Shihuai whipped away without looking back.
# A quarter of an hour later, Liu Han, Cheng Pu, Xu Huang, and Lu Bu arrived with an army. They saw a pile of Xianbei wounded soldiers left outside the pass, roughly 5000 of them.
"Tan Shihuai, I really underestimate you."
Liu Han did not expect that Tanshihuai would be so decisive. As expected of a grassland nation, he was as cunning as a wolf.
"Kill them all and build Jingguan." (Jingguan specifically refers to the victorious party after the war gathering the enemy's corpses, piling soil on the corpses into small hills, and then building a palace similar to a palace gate to show off. Martial arts, intimidating the enemy. Not the head!!!)
"My lord, this."
Xu Huang wanted to admonish Liu Han. After all, this would harm Tianhe and damage his reputation.
"Don't be afraid of being alone. When they massacred the Han people, they had to think of such a day."
After saying that, Liu Han rushed to Pingcheng.
The military order is like a mountain!
"Kill them all!"
"Here!"
The Han cavalry picked up the weapons in their hands and kept harvesting the lives of these wounded soldiers. Those who had some strength could still run two steps, but they still could not escape the fate of being killed.
In half an hour, all five thousand wounded soldiers were killed. Perhaps, this was another relief for the executor, Lu Bu had a different feeling towards Liu Han and was more afraid.
"This one is not a kind Lord either."
Thousands of people were killed at will, leaving no room for mercy.
# "Greetings, Zhang He."
"Stop being brave and rest first."
"Here. My lord, I..."
"You did a great job and strictly followed the orders."
Zhang He felt miserable, as more than half of his men were killed or injured, all of whom were Pao Ze who had been with him for a year.
"Now, your most important task is to recover from your injuries in the city. The rest will be left to Cheng Pu for the time being."
"Here."
Liu Han knew that Zhang He had tried his best. With four thousand defenders, without any external aid, it was a miracle that they could defeat a force ten times his own and hold on for two days without any external aid.
"Now, the balance of victory is tilted towards our side, thanks to the heavy snow that delayed the opponent for two days."
That's right, because of the heavy snow, Tan Shihuai is becoming more and more passive now.
First, nearly 2 people were killed in the attack on Yin Hall. This time, another 1 people were killed in the attack on Pingcheng Great Wall Pass. In addition to the 5000 people who had just been slaughtered, 8 people were killed in the south, and 5000 people were killed. Including the wounded, it was definitely more than half.
Such a huge loss, no matter how powerful Tan Shihuai is, is enough to cause him physical pain for a while.
"Xu Huang, go and mobilize Qiang Yin's two thousand cavalry. Let's follow Tan Shihuai behind and take a big bite at Yanmen Mountain."
"Here."
Xu Huang received the order and led his people to Qiangyin to mobilize troops.
"Send an order to Bingzhou and leave Dingyuan, and lead the infantry to Yanmen Mountain at full speed."
"Here."
"Lu Bu, let's continue chasing."
# Tan Shihuai was very smart. After the strong man cut off his wrist, he immediately joined Qiang Yin's [-] cavalry, and he finally felt at Han's analysis was good. After gathering an army of [-], the number of men capable of fighting in Tan Shihuai's hands suddenly increased to [-].
Only with soldiers can we have confidence.
In the evening, Tan Shihuai and tens of thousands of people came to Yanmen, "Warriors, as long as we walk out of here, the Han people will be unable to do anything to us. I, Tan Shihuai, hereby promise you that when we go back, we will regroup and kill the Han people by surprise." , massacre the city!"
"Ooooooooooooooooo!"
Tan Shihuai boosted his military morale and thought about Liu Han's face when he was pressed in front of him the next time he breached the Yin Guan city gate, "Little wolf cub, you won't be so lucky."
Suddenly, more than a dozen riders came over from the opposite side. The leader was Que Ju's younger brother Que Liu, who looked tired and panicked.
"Da Chanyu!"
"Da Chanyu!"
At this moment, Queliu, who had been galloping for two days, finally saw Tan Shihuai.
Tan Shihuai also felt strange. Wasn't Queliu arranged to stay in the royal court?Why does it appear here?
"Pfft!"
Queliu fell off his horse, used up his last bit of strength, and said to Tan Shihuai: "Great Chanyu, the royal court. The royal court was burned by the Han people."
After saying that, Que Liu passed out.
