Chapter 1036
Ye Yunping stood at the top of the city and looked down. He saw the battle outside. Although he was in his thirties, this was the first time he had really directed a battle on the battlefield. He had been completely different from his father and brother since he was a child. Maybe his mother had more care for him. He had never had the opportunity to come into contact with real danger. Although as a man from the Wu family, he had been taught to work hard or learn strategies from his military teachers since he was a child, but he could not show the talent and love of his elder brother no matter how he was.
Although he is not too enthusiastic about the affairs on the battlefield, he is quite fond of logistics, especially internal affairs. He not only follows the internal affairs teacher every day, but also visits the surrounding towns in private, and even follows the group of people with difficulties in life to live and live together for several months. He always believes that managing a city well requires not only iron-fisted means, but also a heart that is compassionate and sympathetic to the needs of the people.
Standing on the top of the city, watching the situation on the battlefield below change from unfavorable to favorable, and in a blink of an eye the advantage disappeared. He watched the team led by his father and elder brother run towards the city gate and the woods, and he really wished that Li Sheng could fly down with his wings to bring these soldiers one by one, but unfortunately, this was just an idea after all. The only thing he could do now was to order the city gate to open and let the army go out to respond.
When the city gate opened, Ye Lin immediately summoned the remaining knights by his side. Years of combat experience told him that the more he retreated, the more he should remain calm and must not lose his ground rashly, otherwise it would only expand the losses. Especially at this time, these young men were arrogant on weekdays, and they did not take the Huns seriously, let alone being chased by the Huns and running for life.
"Run me and go into the city." Akira laughed and gave orders. He was waiting for this opportunity. He had discussed with Yeldezyuge before coming. He had coveted this city for a long time but had always been afraid of Ye Lin and Quanzhou's stable city defense, so he had never taken action and could only look for opportunities.
His idea happened to meet a person who specializes in doing practical things, Yeldezyuge, the prime minister of the busy Erduo Khanate. Although the Quanzhou garrison and the people spent several years digging a circle of huge trenches near the city, it also attracted the water from Kunjiang to form a huge moat surrounding the city, which not only solved the problem of water difficulties for residents in the city but also raised the city defense to a new level, especially with hot tung oil and large crossbow arrows, it was perfect.
"Our horse is fast. As long as he opens the city gate to help us, we will directly ask the shaman to speed up the horses. In this way, even if we have the equipment to defend the city, we will not dare to use it rashly. At that time, we will then drive the army into the city, and then it will turn into street battles. The people in the city will be our hostages, and they will not dare to use weapons of mass destruction rashly."
It seems that the prime minister of the Little Khanate is indeed a talented person. A few days ago, he took the opportunity to let his son and daughter-in-law go back to his parents' home first, and then used the tone of chatting about family letters to put out the words in his son's mouth. Although he still didn't know anything about key things such as military ration reserves, he already knew the level of their military training and the number of troops.
“Accelerate, accelerate.”
With Akira's orders behind, the Wujia Knights slapped their horses tightly. The Huns' war horses were already faster than the Central Plains horses. When they were supervised, they rushed up like arrows that were rigorously killed and fought with Ye Lin and the others.
When the infantry in the city saw the scene, they immediately rushed out and created a personal wall, blocking everyone outside the city gate. This was the order they received, and no matter when a Hun could be allowed to enter the city.
Ye Yunping hurriedly ran down the city tower, pulled out his long sword from his waist and rushed up. This was what his father once told him. If he wanted the soldiers to work hard for you, the only way was to be with them in the battle, but as soon as he rushed up, he was pushed out by the bloody smell.
"Yunping, hurry up and ask the soldiers to take the crossbow arrows." A tall adjutant was closer to the door. He shouted loudly while fighting with the Wujia Knight who was rushing up behind him. But at this time, everyone's mind was nothing but fighting, especially Ye Yunping, who had just started his battle formation, was so bloody that he could not hear any outside voices. The only thing he knew now was to hold his breath and rush into the battle formation again.
Although he did not have the talent of his elder brother, he was quite confident in his swordsmanship. As soon as he entered, he didn't want anything and just focused all his energy on the group of black-armored knights riding horses.
"What are you still... still standing there? Go and protect the second young master." The garrison leader looked at Ye Yunping rushing into the crowd. He immediately directed the two guards standing beside him with long spears and asked them to provide assistance to Ye Yunping.
In most cases, cavalry can achieve complete defeat in the army, especially most infantrymen have short weapons, even if they stand together, they will be quickly dispersed by the cavalry. If they choose to escape, they will become prey hunted by the cavalry and have no chance of survival.
However, in many cases, the Central Plains dynasty used infantry as the main combat unit, which has a lot to do with the fact that the Central Plains did not produce horses. Even though the Ye family, who has been in Quanzhou for many years, has already owned a very good cavalry team, the main force on the battlefield is still infantry.
In order to better fight against the Huns, under Ye Lin's request, all infantrymen were equipped with a long halberd in addition to wearing a short sword. It would not be so laborious to resist the cavalry with the advantage of length in weapons.
"Sure enough, I just want the group of warriors who go out to sweep on weekdays. Although they are not all elite, they are also people of my Khanate. How could they not have any resistance when facing an enemy dominated by infantry?" Akira rode a horse and slowly moved towards the city gate under the support of infantry. He didn't want to put himself in danger, but he didn't want to miss the glory brought by the attack on the city.
"The Shamans are ready, set fire." Yeldūzyug followed the main force slowly, and shook his head and refused when Akira wanted to give him a horse so he could keep up to enjoy the beautiful scenery he was about to see.
"Don't worry, the great Khan King, the scene that will appear soon is definitely the most beautiful time you have ever experienced in your life. I sincerely hope that you can keep all this in your heart."
