The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.
Chapter 128 All-Desert
"Haha, now I wonder how long you can hold on."
Li Chenglin laughed out loud.
"General Qu, please go out."
Then, Li Chenglin said to Qu Gaoyi beside him with a smile.
"Yes, I will go right away."
Qu Gaoyi immediately took the order and led 5,000 cavalrymen to attack the Hun camp.
But to Qu Gaoyi's surprise, when he led his troops there, he found that the Hun camp was quiet and there was no movement at all.
"What's going on? Didn't they say the enemy troops have already assembled and are ready to move out?"
Qu Gaoyi asked the scout in charge of surveillance.
"General, I don't know either."
"The enemy had indeed left the camp just now, but for some reason they suddenly retreated back."
The scout replied quickly.
"Humph, a bunch of cowards."
"Pass on my order, General. All troops, wait where you are. I want to see if they dare to come out."
Qu Gaoyi cursed angrily and ordered the entire army to wait where they were.
Of course the defenders of the main camp would not come out. This was all just an act, a plan of Li Jing.
Li Jing wanted to make Li Chenglin think that the defenders of Hulun City were at the end of their strength.
Only in this way will Li Chenglin not retreat and we can take the opportunity to consume more of his troops.
More importantly, it can delay time and wait for the return of Huo Qubing and Lu Bu.
Li Jing's plan was to first concentrate his forces to defeat Hu Yanzhuo, and then turn around to deal with Beiting.
Once Huo Qubing and Lu Bu returned with their armies, it would be time for him to launch a counterattack.
As expected, Li Jing's plan worked.
The next morning, Li Chenglin launched another fierce attack.
Although the defenders still resisted stubbornly during this attack, their strength was obviously reduced, and it seemed that they could no longer hold on.
This scene made Li Chenglin even more ecstatic, and he believed that the defenders of Hulun City were about to collapse.
So Li Chenglin attacked even harder.
But the opposite happened. The more fierce Li Chenglin's attack became, the more stubborn the Hulun defenders became.
After three days of continuous attack, they still failed to capture Hulun City.
This result greatly disappointed Li Chenglin.
"Damn it, what's going on? Are the Hulan defenders all iron men?"
Li Chenglin gritted his teeth and said.
"Father, I will go into battle myself tomorrow."
"If we continue like this, the morale of the entire army will be completely destroyed. I'm afraid we will have a hard time taking Hulan and will have no choice but to retreat."
Li Xin frowned.
Li Chenglin's expression kept changing when he heard this.
Li Xin was right. After a long siege and with heavy casualties, the morale of the entire army had already plummeted to the bottom.
If we continue like this, not only will we fail to capture Hulun, we may even be in danger.
"Okay, let's have one last fight tomorrow."
"General Qu, I need to borrow your cavalry tomorrow."
"You can see the current situation. I don't have many soldiers left. I can only ask for your help."
Li Chenglin let out a long sigh and bowed to Qu Gaoyi.
By this point in the battle, most of Li Chenglin's 30,000 Beiting troops had been lost, with only 4,000 soldiers left who could fight.
In this case, if we want to capture Hulun tomorrow, we must rely on Qu Gaoyi's cavalry.
"Don't worry, Protector General. I will do my best to assist you."
Hearing this, Qu Gaoyi quickly agreed.
He knew very well that this battle was crucial and if he didn't give it his all, he would fail.
"Okay, in that case, I would like to thank you in advance."
"You are too polite, Governor." Qu Gaoyi shook his head.
..........
The next morning, Li Chenglin and Qu Gaoyi reorganized their forces and launched another attack.
The attack was led by Li Xin himself, with a force of 20,000, including 16,000 Anxi cavalry.
Of course, these cavalrymen could only fight while dismounted.
"charge!"
With Li Xin's roar, 20,000 troops quickly rushed towards Hulun City.
"Bow and arrow shooting!"
Facing Li Xin's attack, the Hulun defenders had been prepared and immediately launched a counterattack.
shhhhhh...
In an instant, a rain of arrows came from the sky.
Phew...
Hundreds of soldiers were caught off guard and shot.
"Kill!"
However, Li Xin had anticipated this situation long ago. He immediately shouted and led the shield soldiers to stand in front to block the arrows.
At the same time, archers in the rear also drew their arrows and aimed at Hulun City.
"put!"
Following the commands, the archers unleashed a hail of arrows.
Whoosh...
In an instant, countless sharp arrows fell from the sky and headed straight for Hulun City.
ding ding ding...
On the walls of Hulun City, shield bearers raised their huge shields to block the sharp arrows, making it impenetrable.
But there were too many arrows, and dozens of soldiers still suffered accidents.
The defending archers were not to be outdone, and the two sides started shooting at each other.
At the same time, the attacking army also rushed to the city and engaged in fierce fighting with the defenders.
Soldiers were constantly being chopped down and shot down, blood flowed like a river, and wailing echoed through the sky.
After half a quarter of an hour, the defenders were gradually suppressed and seemed unable to hold on any longer.
"Hahaha, soldiers, charge! There will be a huge reward for capturing Hulan."
Li Xin was very excited when he saw this.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Upon hearing the reward, the attacking army became even more frantic. Regardless of casualties, they charged towards Hulun City fearlessly.
The defenders on the city wall were also defeated, and a gap soon appeared in the defense line.
"Quick, the reserve team will fill the gap..."
Seeing this, Li Jing immediately gave a loud order.
Immediately, a reserve force of thousands of people quickly climbed onto the city wall and filled the gap.
"Damn it!"
Li Chenglin, who was watching the battle at the foot of the city, saw this scene and cursed in his heart.
Unexpectedly, there were still reserve troops in Hulun City at this time.
But at this moment he had no time to think and could only continue the attack.
"Report to the Protector General, the Xiongnu enemy troops are moving out again."
At this time, a scout came running to report.
"Hmm? Out again?"
"Haha, it seems that the Hulan defenders are at the end of their strength."
"General Qu, please go one more time and make sure to stop the enemy reinforcements." Li Chenglin snorted coldly.
"promise."
Qu Gaoyi immediately accepted the order and left with 10,000 cavalrymen.
When Qu Gaoyi arrived at the Xiongnu camp, five thousand Hulan soldiers had already walked out of the camp and lined up in an orderly manner.
"All troops defend, shield bearers provide cover."
"Lancers, get ready!"
Seeing Qu Gaoyi leading his troops over, the leading general shouted loudly.
In an instant, the Hulan Army soldiers immediately took up their positions.
"kill!"
Seeing this scene, Qu Gaoyi did not hesitate and led his troops to attack.
Rumble…
In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided with each other.
bang bang bang...
There was a sharp sound of metal collision, blood splattered, and broken limbs flew everywhere.
Qu Gaoyi's troops were the elite troops of Anxi. They were all wearing light armor and holding Mo Dao, and were extremely powerful in combat.
But the Hulan army's equipment was not bad either. They were all wearing tough armor, and equipped with shields and spears, so their combat effectiveness was equally fierce.
In addition, with the Hun camp behind them, they did not have to worry about the rear and flanks, and for a while they were not at a disadvantage.
"Kill!"
The two sides fought bloody battles and it was impossible to determine the winner in a short period of time.
