Chapter 343: Encountered a Raid
According to the information returned by the intelligence officer, there were more than 100,000 soldiers guarding the entire Pingyuan County. The city guard was named Tang Yang. He was an absolute supporter of the Han Dynasty. If he wanted to conquer Pingyuan County, he had to attack. So this time he brought 160,000 soldiers to occupy the entire Pingyuan County and wanted to use it as a stronghold to occupy some county towns to the east, all the coastlines of the Bohai Sea area, and put them in their pockets. In this way, the entire salt road was classified as owned by China.
As for the incompleteness of the two armies and fifth divisions, there were only three divisions left, and all the siege weapons were left in Yanmen and Dai County, but it did not affect it, because Qing Cang made another supplement and added the number of people to 160,000 at one time. With his commander's military post, the commander's soldiers had no upper limit, and he brought five thousand crossbows, one hundred city rushers, and five hundred catapults. This scale was like crushing everywhere.
He brought so many siege weapons to capture Pingyuan County in a short period of time. Because of the changing situation of the battle, Huaxia City has become the target of public criticism.
This time, Qing Cang had made up his mind to take down Pingyuan County and see how Zhang Hai looked. After receiving the news, he had not been transferred yet and the man who almost caught him would definitely make him feel the feeling of being restrained.
The 160,000 army drove to Pingyuan County in a mighty manner until the early morning of the fifth day, the entire army camped ten miles outside Pingyuan County, ready to eat. Qingcang ordered: "I inform you, after the army is finished eating, the army will advance one mile away from Pingyuan City at dawn. Be prepared to attack!"
The guards should have gone down to arrange the matters.
He did not bring Guo Jia with him during this trip, but asked him to defend the city to prevent accidents. He listened to reports in Huaxia City in the form of telegrams every day.
Before the sky was dawn, they heard a rushing sound in the distance. It was the Han army guarding the city in Pingyuan County. They actually wanted to launch a raid on the Chinese army.
The entire Chinese Legion did not feel nervous at all, but instead was not too anxious.
When the Han army rushed to halfway, suddenly, the night was like daylight, and a huge lantern lit up on a high platform, illuminating all the Han army so hard that they could not hide. The faces of the person in charge seemed a little familiar. Yes, he was Zhang Hai himself.
The Han army suddenly became in chaos. Someone shouted: "What is this? It's so bright!"
"It's so bright! My eyes can't stand it."
The light reflects brighter in the snow.
"We have fallen into a trap. The Chinese army deliberately set up camp here! It led us to come and raid!"
"This man named Qing Cang is indeed a genius."
The Han army did not expect that they would encounter countermeasures. The strong light made them forget to march until they rushed out of the Chinese army that they realized that it was not good.
At this time, someone shouted in the military camp: "Brothers, kill all these Han troops and we can return to the city earlier!"
Listen to this sound is Zhao Zilong's voice.
The morale of the troops was greatly boosted, and the sound of rushing continued.
The Han army led by Zhang Hai did not expect that in addition to the light, two knight legions rushed out from both sides.
"We are in ambush, retreat quickly!"
Zhang Hai shouted immediately, and many Han troops quickly retreated. Under the light, people saw that the two cavalry corps were led by Zhao Zilong and Zhang Liao, with a total of 30,000 people.
"The Chinese Legion is too fierce, retreat!"
The Han army began to panic. It was precisely because of the light that illuminated their way back, but they were still slow to move and were attacked by Zhao Zilong, Zhang Liao and others. Then a large number of wails came, and someone was completely left here.
The whole Han army no longer had the intention to fight, and they kept retreating. I believe they would definitely regret it at this time. Why did they come out to attack the Chinese Legion? You should know that the Chinese Legion is one of the best in the world. Facing them, everyone can only defend themselves. At this time, they should persist until the food and grass in China are exhausted, rather than sneak attacks. If they had known, they would not have come out, but there would have been so many who had known it before.
The two commanders led the army of knights to continue to charge, forcing the Han army to retreat outside Pingyuan County. If the archers in the city were not ready, they might have entered the city directly.
Zhang Liao shouted at the west gate of Pingyuan County:
"Hahaha! I thought your Han army was so powerful, it turned out to be like a betrayal dog."
During this period, he kept cursing, but Pingyuan County was not moved and no one dared to reply to his scolding.
Finally, Zhao Zilong had to propose:
"Forget it, let's go back. Listen to the commander's meaning."
"What a bunch of weak guys. When I go back, I haven't killed enough!"
After they returned quickly, they immediately reported to Qing Cang.
Zhao Zilong said: "Commander, it's true that they will definitely attack. When the enemy returned to the city, they were so scared that they were so scared that we killed 500 enemies this time, which made us feel relieved."
Zhang Liaoze said: "No, if I hadn't arrived at the city and was blocked by the archers, I would have wanted to kill for a while. At present, I haven't killed enough."
Qing Cang cast his eyes with admiration and said.
"You two performed well, let the cavalry rest well. It's still two hours before dawn. Protect your spirits as soon as possible. I don't think they dare to harass us again."
Below were Zhou Cang Yujin and the other two who did not go to fight. They said a little frustratedly: "Commander, why don't you let us fight?"
Qing Cang said, "You have your own arrangements. You will be the leader tomorrow, call the other party and force the other party to come out to fight you. They will consume the other party's morale."
Zhou Cang said straight: "I am good at scolding people, that's great! I will take the lead tomorrow. Do you know that Brigade Commander Yu will be with me?"
At this moment, nothing happened. Until the morning of the next day, when the sun shone on the white-spreaded earth, three hundred catapults and five thousand crossbows were set up one mile outside the plain city, and one hundred rushing cars were ready.
Yu Jin, Zhou Cang and the others rushed to the front as vanguards. A large number of soldiers had already been placed in Pingyuan City.
Obviously, they have been prepared for the attack of the Chinese army this time.
Zhou Cang did not disappoint Qing Cang's expectations, and kept calling out, which made the entire Huaxia City go over. His voice alone would definitely not be disturbed by Pingyuan City. The key point is that Qing Cang lent the loudspeaker to Zhou Cang for use. With his voice, anyone in the entire Pingyuan City could hear it clearly. If the city did not dare to fight, it would have a great impact on the morale of the entire city. Because they were too frustrated to guard and the feeling of being scolded was simply quite sad.
