Chapter 131 Recover Shanggu
This kind of siege method is really good. I'm afraid there is no easier way than this, right? However, Lu Ning was not blinded by joy, and still stared at the opposite city wall. After all, the enemy generals on the opposite city were still a good product. He also knew how to use wooden boards, leather sheets, wooden shields and other things to defend, which shows that this person still has some military knowledge. Compared with other Xianbei Tartars, he is a figure.
‘Oh no, they are going to hit the city gate!’ The Taurus General saw the actions of Lu Ningjun below through the gap between a door panel, and was very anxious. ‘Hurry up, go down and hold the city gate for me!’ The Taurus General shouted to the Tartar soldiers beside him. But the Taurus General also understood that he could not hold it in the end. If there were more people than the people, they would not be able to do it. Besides, he was facing the Big Bear Army. What should I do?
‘Dong!, dong! dong!’ The violent collision sound made the Xianbei Tartar general even more frightened.
Now, I don’t care much about it anymore. The Tartar General shouted: “Roll the wood and stones, smash it hard on me and smash it hard on the head of the Big Bear soldiers who hit the city gate.”
However, as soon as the Xianbei Tartar soldiers appeared on the city wall, they raised the wood and stones. Before they could throw them down, the crossbow arrows of the Lu Ning army came and sent them to another world without mercy. The Tartar general's brief madness was completely and forcibly suppressed by the crossbow arrows of the Lu Ning army.
‘Click!’ Although the sound was not loud, the Xianbei Tartar general could hear it clearly. This was the sound of the door bolt cracking and the city gate was about to break.
The city gate was knocked open by Lu Ning's army, and the city gate was knocked open. Lu Ning's soldiers shouted happily. As long as the city gate was opened, the battle would be easily resolved.
Lu Ning ordered: "Let the soldiers who bumped into the city gate retreat, and the bows and crossbows were divided into one part to be placed in the center, and shoot the Xianbei Tartar soldiers inside the city gate."
The Tartar general found that he had miscalculated again. Lu Ning's army broke open the city gate. The Tartar general thought that they were going to deal with the soldiers who had hit the city. As long as they fought to the death, they could fight back, close the city gate, and then top the city gate, they could hold on for a while. Although the possibility was very small, it was common sense. Even if they were not good, they would not be able to fight together, which would allow the Lu Ning's army to play the advantage of large numbers of people. However, these boys actually retreated. Then, rows of crossbow arrows shot over and shot one of the elite soldiers arranged by the Tartar general to death. Some of them were still in a string, and now they miscalculated again.
Lu Ning said to Dian Wei: "Ziman, lead the army to rush. Remember to chase after you for a while before you can return to the city."
‘General, what should we do? We can’t hold on.’ said the Tartar General’s personal soldiers.
All kinds of screams finally made the Xianbei Tartar general wake up. He decisively ordered: "Retreat." After that, the Tartar general took the lead in running back. He did not return to the city, but ran towards the north gate. He could find his own tribe, and he had to go back to report to the great leader Kebineng.
However, the Xianbei Tartars did not dare to fight, and they had no time to take away their cattle, sheep and money. They followed the Tartar generals to flee northward. As for the Tartars' families, they couldn't control it. It was still a question whether they could escape. Dian Wei led 5,000 flying bear army to chase the fleeing Tartar cavalry, but about 2,000 Tartars still ran away.
Just as the general of the Xianbei Tartars led two thousand iron cavalry to run out of breath and was out of breath, their nightmare also came. Zhao Yun, a poisonous wolf on the northern prairie, led five thousand flying bear soldiers to kill from the hillside next to him. Zhao Yun took the lead, with a white horse and silver spear, and led five thousand flying bears to the defeated and fleeing remnants of Tartars. This was a one-sided massacre. Zhao Yun's morale was high, waiting for his work, facing the fleeing in a panic.
The remaining Xianbei Tartar soldiers who were depressed and physically exhausted were all the only things that were waiting for Zhao Yun's soldiers. The soldiers could solve the problem with their sabers and spears. There was no need to talk about formations. The defense line of the Xianbei Tartars was shattered. More than 800 Tartar soldiers chose to kneel down and surrender, and the rest of the Tartar soldiers were basically killed, of course, including the Tartar general who didn't know his surname. It was probably dozens of Tartars who actually escaped.
Zhao Yun led a large army to escort more than 800 Tartar prisoners back to Shanggu City. At this time, the battle in the city had already been resolved. More than 1,900 Tartars were killed and more than 6,000 Xianbei Tartars were captured. Nearly 4,000 Xianbei women were seized. Nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep were seized (sizes), more than 8,000 horses, and some miscellaneous supplies such as gold and silver. At the same time, more than 300 Han women and more than 200 men were rescued. These more than 200 were skilled craftsmen, most of them were carpenters. Some were blacksmiths, and a small number were plasterers. They were all good at their level.
Lu Ning asked Dian Wei soldiers to resettle the more than 500 rescued people, and give them food, clothing, and use. He also allocated the houses in Shanggu City to them. As for the more than 2,000 captured old, weak and young Tartars, they found a place and were all killed by Lu Ning's army. None of them were left behind, and even the young children were spared. As long as they were carried by the handle, they would die. It would be a disaster after staying there. It would be better to kill them. Lu Ning's army was very sinful and had no human nature to the foreign barbarians. Fortunately, there was no Geneva Convention at this time, otherwise they would be punished and judged by the world.
After Zhao Yun returned to Shanggu City, Lu Ning asked him to arrange the guards, especially to set up more open and secret whistles, and also let the ten hunting dogs he brought out to guard. Lu Ning told them that after dinner, let the soldiers continue to carry out national integration tonight, so that the officers and soldiers can all enjoy and relax. The soldiers all know that if they follow their lords to go to war, as long as there are captured Xianbei women, they will definitely be happy all night and can also vent their vent on the Tartar women.
Lu Ning himself has never participated in their national integration. Every time I am resting alone in the tent, but sometimes the soldiers move too loudly and the sound is too loud. Lu Ning really can't listen, so he will go to the city wall to check the defense situation. Since there are fewer captive Tartar women than Lu Ning's soldiers, they always follow the order of military merits. Those with high military merits will do it first, and those without military merits can only be the last to merge. So in order to be able to merge on the belly of Xianbei women, the soldiers of Lu Ning are very brave when killing enemies. They all want to make more military merits and kill more enemies.
