Chapter 220 The King of Xianbei Defends the Royal Court
Although he didn't know how he was calculated, Helian didn't struggle with this issue for too long.
Now there are only 50,000 soldiers here. Because they have just suffered a defeat, people are panicked and their morale is low. Helian is very nervous about this.
Fortunately, Tuoba Chi and Tuoba Jinghong, who were carefully selected by me, actually survived amidst the tens of thousands of troops!
This gave Helian a little hope.
The tribe that Tuoba Chi and Tuoba Jinghong belonged to was an extremely powerful tribe of the Xianbei people. The surname Tuoba was also extremely prominent. still there!
Therefore, Helian immediately ordered: "Two generals, now the Great Wei is invading heavily, if we cannot defeat them, we will be subject to the Great Wei everywhere, and we will no longer have the carefree life as before! Therefore, I ask You go and persuade the various ministries to persuade them that you must unite and resist the Great Wei! Otherwise, once we are defeated, the Great Wei will take our relatives as hostages and force us to sacrifice cattle and sheep, horses, strong men, and beautiful animals from now on. Girl! On the 450th day, the day when I, the Xianbei people, will be born again!"
Tuoba Chi and Tuoba Jinghong were terrified by such a future, and immediately exclaimed: "It's so serious! Since this is the case, we are willing to travel for the king, gather a large army for the king, and come here to confront the great Wei!
"Don't come here anymore," Helian waved his hands with a decided look on his face, "You can choose a place to assemble and fight against the Great Wei together!
"Ah? Why is this? Your Majesty, aren't you with us?" Tuoba Chi was immediately taken aback.
"I am the king of Xianbei, but I lost more than 100,000 warriors in the first battle! I am not worthy to continue to be your king. I will restrain the cavalry of the Wei Dynasty for you here, and wash my sins with death!"
Seeing Helian's resolute expression, the two felt their hearts tremble, so they left Junji Mountain that day and went to the surrounding tribes to persuade various tribes.
Just one day later, Zhao Yun had already arrived with a large army!
The 100,000-strong army killed a lot of enemies, but he hardly suffered any casualties!
Outside Junji Mountain, Zhao Yun's army was like a forest of banners, and the army stretched for several miles. It looked neat and terrifying!
The Xianbei King's Court of Junji Mountain was built not long ago. The city is small and the walls are low, so it is not enough to defend.
Therefore, Helian divided troops and arranged large armies on several hilltops as early as possible, and antagonized each other.
Guo Jia watched it for a while, then smiled: "Zilong, do you think that if you rush now, do you have a good chance of winning?
Zhao Yun immediately shook his head: "Looking at the people above, it seems that they have the determination to die, and they are condescending, if they rush down, we will definitely be washed out of the formation, but, on the contrary, we will be frustrated, and it will not end well!
Guo Jia nodded: "That's the truth! We have to think of some way to drain their morale."
Zhao Yun immediately cheered: "What's the consumption? If their morale is low, I will dare to lead the troops to rush up!
Guo Jia looked around, and when he saw that he wanted to go up, he had to withstand the impact of these Xianbei people. Obviously, it was difficult to do anything from here.
So Guo Jia said: "We have more troops, but they have fewer troops. You can go around from other directions to see if there are other passages to enter."
So Zhao Yun quickly separated out some soldiers and circled around.
After half a day, many soldiers came back, and some of them were excited: "General, military division! There is still a road in the south, but it is blocked by the river. If you want to pass, you need to build a bridge!""
"That river, is it wide?" Guo Jia immediately smiled.
"It's not wide, only a distance of less than two feet!"
Guo Jia then laughed: "Go, take me to see, if you can, start building the bridge today! I want to see if they want to go down the mountain to stop us from building the (babe) bridge!"
So Zhao Yun continued to guard here, Guo Jia took someone to see it, and found that the river was as the soldiers said, the distance was not wide, and a wooden bridge just passed by.
So Guo Jia dispatched an army of 30,000 people, cut down Populus euphratica not far away, and quickly built it up.
Although it was hard to find trees on this prairie, with the help of an army of 30,000 people, Guo Jia had already brought back fifty logs of different thicknesses when it was dark.
"Tonight, set fire to repair the bridge!
Guo Jia gave an order, and there was a clanging sound by the river. All the soldiers cut the wood with their weapons and tied them together to make a simple bridge deck.
In order to ensure that the warhorse will not fall, every tree is cut straight, leaving no gaps as much as possible.
This is a relatively slow job, and there are too many people to help, and during this time, someone has already reported the news to Helian.
Helian was shocked when he heard it: "The river is not wide, it is easy to pass through, hurry, hurry and cut down their bridge to stop them from coming!
Not long after, Helian recruited 3,000 cavalry from the 50,000-strong army, and rushed out, all armed with big swords and big axes, and made it clear that they wanted to cut the bridge.
"Master, look, someone is coming from the opposite side!" Many soldiers looked up and saw a group of cavalry rushing towards the opposite side, holding their torches high!
Guo Jia sneered: "Don't panic! Even if we can't cross the river, we can also involve them here!
The cavalry quickly rushed to the vicinity, immediately laughed, and swaggered over to cut down the bridge.
However, Guo Jia ordered that the soldiers suddenly took out their bows and arrows, followed by a burst of shooting!
shhhhhh!
The overwhelming arrows hit the 3,000 cavalry on the opposite side in a concentrated attack. The 20,000 Great Wei cavalry, in a few moments, fired more than 100,000 arrows. On the opposite bank, all the Xianbei cavalry were pinned to the ground. , everyone is full of arrows!
After a few arrows, no one at the scene survived!
After those Xianbei people fell, torches were thrown all over the place, and the surroundings suddenly became a sea of fire.
Guo Jia sneered and immediately ordered: "Continue to build bridges! It is extremely guaranteed that the war horses can pass safely!"
In order to cross the river quickly, Guo Jia ordered that the bridge deck be made wider, so that three horses could walk side by side, leaving a distance of three feet to the left and right to prevent the horses from accidentally falling into the river.
However, the scouts dispatched by Helian quickly discovered the situation here and immediately reported back that all three thousand soldiers had been shot.
Helian was startled again: "No, hurry up and increase the troops! Go to 10,000, and then go to 10,000! Be sure to stop their thoughts of crossing the river!"
Just transferred 3,000, and transferred 10,000. Now, the soldiers under Helian who resisted Zhao Yun were already less than 40,000!
However, what he was more worried about was whether the 10,000 soldiers would be able to keep the river bank and prevent the Great Wei cavalry from coming over!
