The enemy's concentration and attention to attack the camp located on the edge of the glue was exactly what Liu Yan wanted The area of the camp is not small, and it is close to the glue riverbed, and the construction of a pontoon bridge connecting the two banks can be started at any time if you want.
As long as the sub-city and the camp are still in the hands of the Han department, the main city of Xiami is not a lonely city.
The Art of War has repeatedly emphasized the importance of "hitting its soft underbelly", and the Yao family has a higher degree of sinicization than other Hu people, how could Yao Lan and Yao Jing, who received Sinicization education, forget this For the Yao family army led by the two Yao brothers and the Qingzhou army led by Liu Zheng, it is inevitable to attack the main city and the sub-city, but the main city and the sub-city have perfect city wall fortifications, and it will be more difficult to attack.
The war is about logistics and morale, as long as the camp can be captured, how can it make the morale of the Han Department low, the coalition army has tried to go down the main city and sub-city, and after finding that it is not easy to gnaw, there should be a clear choice, obviously the local battlefield of the camp where hand-to-hand combat takes place will become the main target.
The camp is built on the edge of the glue, which means that there is a waterway on one side, and it is not impossible to attack, but at least boats are needed.
The coalition forces have brought craftsmen, but the fact that craftsmen can make equipment on land does not mean that they know how to build surface boats, after all, everything is about specialization in the art industry.
In addition to the waterway on one side, the north side of the camp was dug into potholes, and then some water sources were introduced, and the terrain on the north side formed a waterhole terrain, which was clearly difficult to set up a formation.
The only directions in which the coalition could attack were the west and south, and these two directions were obviously deliberately left, and the fortifications in both positions were destined to be strengthened.
Yao Jing stayed to deal with the main city of Xiami, and the intensity of the battle was not as strong as at the beginning, but the Yao family army was still constantly sending troops to test and harass.
Yao Lan personally reinforced the Han camp on the west bank of Jiaoshui, and when they arrived, it happened that the Han defenders were counterattacking.
"Dispatch cavalry" Yao Lan had a cruel smile on her face: "A bunch of things who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they dare to leave their camp for a mile to pursue" In fact, the Han soldiers who went out of the camp to pursue were already retreating when they found that the enemy had reinforcements coming, but the remnants of the attacking side found that there were reinforcements coming, and their morale was boosted, and their hearts were up, and they dared to muster up the courage to bite some of the pursuing Han soldiers.
The roaring sound of horses' hooves sounded, and it should have been about 2,000 Yao cavalry that slammed into the battlefield savagely.
Yao Lan, who killed some of his remnants, didn't care about those, he personally blew the horn of the charge, and ordered the attacking cavalry to take advantage of the situation to rush the camp.
The Han Department on the side of the camp was obviously in a panic, that is, there were some people who were running fast to withdraw to the camp, and some spearmen and archers were ordered to organize defense, and the camp gate was naturally a little chaotic.
"Bastard" Xiqian Jiantong had a face full of iron blue, pointed to the slave soldiers who had warned many times and still blocked the gate and shouted: "Release the arrows" In fact, not many people were killed, but their own side really shot arrows to clear the field, and the slave soldiers who blocked the gate could only retreat to both sides honestly after receiving the lesson of blood.
"It's late."
Xi Qian Jiantong was extremely angry in his heart, and saw the enemy's cavalry rushing towards the camp quickly, so he had to issue a new order: "The spearmen rely on the wooden fence to erect spears; Archer prepares" Orders are not only shouted by roaring, but also by the flags, or if they are not roared on a noisy battlefield, orders will not be transmitted far.
An ordinary person can sprint with all his strength up to eight to nine meters per second, do you know how fast a qualified war horse can sprint at full speed, and the full force of the war horse is about fifteen to sixteen meters per second The Yao family cavalry who rushed to the camp was still four or five hundred meters away in an instant, but in less than thirty breaths and about thirty seconds, they had already rushed in front of them.
The cavalry of the Yao family were obviously good riders, and only a few of them hit obstacles such as horse rejection, and most of them stepped over and formed a torrent to rush up.
"Archery" The password was issued, but the arrows fired in the first round were sparse, and the damage caused to the Yao cavalry who charged was extremely limited.
It was only in the second round that the arrows became more dense, and it was the archers in the camp who stabilized and began to follow the command to release their arrows in turn.
The archers of the camp defenders only shot five rounds before stopping, and the Yao family cavalry had already approached, and shooting again would cause accidental injuries and had to stop.
Spears were erected in some parts of the camp, but there were no positions in some positions, and it was worth Xiqian Jiantong to be fortunate that the rejection of horses laid at the position of the gate played a role, but there were only a dozen or so seemingly elite Yao family cavalry twisting and turning, and they were blocked by the phalanx composed of spearmen when they lost their maximum speed.
A large number of cavalry rushed to the camp, so that there were clashing and neighing horses everywhere, and naturally there was no shortage of screams from people.
Looking at the overall situation, on the front side of the camp with a diameter of more than 1,000 meters, there were too many horses' hooves trampling under the billowing of dust and smoke, and the sound of collisions was staged everywhere, and the neighing and howling of horses became the most common sounds on the battlefield.
Yao Lan couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of her through the dust and smoke, and immediately frowned when she heard the horn of "woo woo woo" blowing in front: "Blow the trumpet, let the cavalry retreat." ” Obviously, the Yao cavalry had a simple communication through the sound of horns, and the cavalry rushing to the camp was blocked and could not attack it.
Xiqian Jiantong was also unable to check the battle situation, he could only judge from the noisy and chaotic sounds, and before he could make a prediction, after the sound of the two horns, the sound of rolling horses' hooves was far away.
The smoke of dust was blown away by the wind, and the front of the camp was a mess everywhere, with the bodies of fallen horses and the dead everywhere, and the wounded and howling were indispensable.
The cavalry charge to the camp not only appeared to be huge, but the damage caused by it was not light at all, and some of the horses were destroyed in pieces, but the corpses left on the spikes also played a role.
"Treat the wounded, rearrange the horses, and tidy up the wooden fence" Xi Qian Jiantong was panting, a series of orders had just been issued, and when he heard the horn sounded again on the opposite side, his expression stiffened, and he revised the military order: "The auxiliary soldiers will carry the wounded down, and the soldiers will prepare for war" How could Yao Lan give the defenders of the camp time to rearrange, he waved his army to attack again at the same time as his cavalry withdrew, and nearly 5,000 infantry were already charging in a chaotic manner.
"Hiss" is not a toothache that makes this sound, it is Yao Lan who listens to count the casualties: "About 400 horses have been lost" After a visual inspection, the loss of the Yao family should be close to four hundred horsemen, but it is not easy to say how much damage was caused to the Han garrison in the camp.
Originally, if the cavalry could rush into the camp, they would definitely be able to rush left and right, and maybe they would be able to break through several lines of defense at one time, squeezing the space of the Han camp, and the results of the battle would be blocked if they didn't attack.
Yao Lan is distressed, but isn't the war like this, like a gambler, he doesn't miss any opportunity, the difference is to win or lose.
He thought he had more chips than Liu Yan, and continued to bet after losing once.
Five thousand Yao family troops shouted and charged, and another five thousand were gathered as the second echelon, Yao Lan made up his mind to show what it means to be offensive, and he didn't plan to leave a moment of respite for the camp defenders.
The charging Yao family army was soon blocked by the arrow array of the archers of the camp defenders, and the continuous arrow array coverage was the first time that the Yao family army encountered it, and the soldiers who kept falling made Yao Lan, who was watching from a distance, have some gum pain.
"You can learn this way of archery."
Yao Lan's gums hurt even more: "Strictly order them not to retreat" The rain of arrows that won't stop is too frightening, far more disgusting than the intermittent arrow array, at least it can give people a breather.
In fact, the arrows of the band shooting are really not so dense, and the victory lies in the fact that they will not stop, and the psychological pressure on the side that suffers from the arrow array attack is greater.
It was a visual stimulus of a companion falling down all the time, and it made people frightened by the constant screams.
"Hanbu should not be allowed to rise."
Yao Lan couldn't understand: "Liu Yan has only been developing for four years, that's it, what can he do if he is given another four years?"
Wang Teng, who came later, kept nodding his head: "The attack on the main city and the sub-city of Xia Mi was not smooth, especially Liu Zheng, who launched a strong attack, suffered very heavy casualties. ” "I'll write to my uncle and raise some reinforcements if possible."
Yao Lan said very seriously: "There is only a part of Liu Yan's army here, and I haven't forgotten that there is still a partial division. ” "It's time to pay attention" Wang Teng said with a smile: "Liu Zheng is also mobilizing reinforcements, and I think I also think that Liu Yan must be eliminated in Xiami." ” Ahead, the Yao family's army, which was strictly ordered not to retreat, finally rushed forward despite heavy casualties, and after the first batch of troops arrived close to the city and began hand-to-hand combat, the second group of 5,000 people also launched a charge at the sound of horns.
"How many troops does Liu Yan have in total" Yao Lan narrowed her eyes: "There are 50,000" Wang Teng raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

"No matter how many troops Liu Yan has" Yao Lan has full confidence: "As long as the Yao family's momentum is still there, he can gather Zahu and Jin slave soldiers anytime and anywhere, and his army will never be more than ours."
Wang Teng laughed "hehe", as the chief leader of the Qiang people, the Yao family has such a background, or it should be said that as long as Yao Yizhong does not fall, they can really gather troops anytime and anywhere.
Not only the Yao family, but also the Fu family, and the Shijie who ruled the Central Plains is even more so, which is the so-called general trend
