Chapter 1125 Retaking Chifeng
Just when Mijia and Queji led more than 10,000 elite Xianbei cavalry to prepare to leave the city to fight, Zhao Yun and Huyan had already bypassed the Xianbei camp to the west and were chasing the Xianbei people who were fleeing. Their mission was to Follow these Xianbei people and rush them into Chifeng City. According to Guo Jia's calculations in advance, the period from the beginning of the attack on the camp outside the city to the army approaching the city gate is enough for the Xianbei army in the city. Once they are assembled, they will definitely go out of the city to fight. Then these Xianbei herdsmen fleeing on horseback can be used to drive the Xianbei cavalry who are preparing to leave the city. They only need to block the Xianbei cavalry in the city, and then they will become The turtle in the urn has nowhere to escape.
Therefore, the White Horse Yi Cong and the Rush Cavalry must give full play to the advantages of their light cavalry, try to gather as many Xianbei knights as possible, drive them into the city, and disrupt the formation of the Xianbei cavalry in the city.
Soon the two men led their respective armies to surround thousands of Xianbei people, and then drove these people towards the west gate of Chifeng City.
With Zhao Yun and Hu Yan behind them, the rest of the troops quickly rushed into the Xianbei camp to control the chaos in the camp. After the camp was under control, they immediately sent troops to Chifeng for support.
Almost at the same time, Gongsun Zan and Xiao Qiang had also defeated the Xianbei cavalry in the northern camp and were heading towards the north gate of Chifeng.
As expected by Guo Jia, when thousands of panicked Xianbei people rushed into the west gate of Chifeng City, they happened to collide with the Xianbei cavalry who were preparing to leave the city. For a moment, people inside the entire city gate turned on their backs and screamed repeatedly. The cavalrymen who were just about to pick up their horse speed faced thousands of ordinary Xianbei herdsmen who were beating their horses and running wildly. Even though these cavalrymen were elites in many battles, they were thrown into chaos by the thousands of herdsmen and retreated step by step.
However, this was just the beginning. Thousands of herdsmen and cavalry were blocked in the city gate, unable to advance or retreat. At this time, with the Baima Yicon led by Zhao Yun as the vanguard, nearly 20,000 Guards and the Crane Control Army cavalry continued. The Han cavalry appeared outside Chifeng City and on top of the city. Urgent alarm bells kept ringing, which made the Xianbei cavalry blocked in the city even more anxious.
Seeing this situation, Mijia was so anxious that he knew that if his cavalry did not rush out of the city, they would be slaughtered by the Han army once they were blocked in the city. Gritting his teeth, Mijia ordered the cavalry to attack directly. Fight your way out of the city. The Xianbei cavalry who received Mijia's order also drew their scimitars and killed the ordinary herdsmen in front of them who were desperately trying to crowd into the city. Seeing that hundreds of people in front of them were killed directly, these ordinary herdsmen finally came to their senses. , hid on both sides one after another, making way for the cavalry leaving the city.
Unfortunately, it was too late at this time. Zhao Yun had already led the soldiers to buy Ma Yicong and killed them outside the city gate. The Baima Yicong, who had already raised his horse speed to the highest speed, directly attacked the Xianbei cavalry who were struggling to fight out of the city. Go, for a while, the Xianbei cavalry was so stunned that they were unable to resist.
Facing the attack of the white horse Yi Cong, the Xianbei cavalry could not resist at all. If the two sides were fighting in the wilderness, the Xianbei cavalry might still have the strength to fight, but in this situation, coupled with Zhao Yun at the front, the Xianbei cavalry might be able to fight. Killing in all directions, the Xianbei cavalry had no power to fight back. They were quickly forced out of the city gate by Baima Yicong and retreated directly to the streets of Chifeng City.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was killing everyone, Mijia quickly sent out one of his most valiant Xianbei generals, hoping that he could resist Zhao Yun's attack. But to his disappointment, this Xianbei general who was known as the most powerful general in Mijia's tribe The general did not survive three moves from Zhao Yun before he was killed by Zhao Yun. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yun beheaded several generals under Mika and killed the Xianbei cavalry to the point of trembling with fear.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Xianbei cavalry were stunned, a thousand white horse Yi Cong quickly rushed to the city tower, fought for the city tower, and controlled the city gate and suspension bridge in the hands of the Tang army. Behind them, the cavalry followed, and behind them came the Guards.
The Xianbei cavalry retreated steadily, while the Tang army pressed forward step by step.
Soon, nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses entered Chifeng City. Just as Mika was hesitating, a loud killing cry came from the direction of the north gate. Immediately afterwards, the people he sent to monitor the Que Ji Department came back to report that a large number of Han soldiers and horses were also coming to kill at the north gate. The leaders were General White Horse and his subordinate White Horse Yi Cong.
At this time, Mika didn't know that Chifeng could no longer be defended. He did not hesitate and ordered a group of cavalry to continue blocking the Han army attacking Ximen. He himself led nearly 10,000 cavalry to leave quickly, even his troops in the city They did not return to their residence, but headed directly towards the east gate where the Han army had not yet discovered the attack. Of course, when he left, he still didn't forget to notify Que.
As for the thousands of Xianbei cavalry currently guarding the outside of the inner city, he no longer cares about so many, and even if he sends someone to order them to retreat, it is already too late. The Wangmen who is guarding the inner city sees fighting breaking out at the west gate and the north gate at the same time. , plus the Xianbei army suddenly sent troops to support, they did not understand that their reinforcements had arrived, so they left 5,000 infantry to guard the city, and led 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to fight out of the inner city, leaving behind to monitor Thousands of his Xianbei cavalry were killed and defeated.
By noon, the fighting in the city finally ended. All the Xianbei cavalry in the city had been cleared, and the two camps outside the city had fallen into the hands of the coalition forces. Of the 60,000 Xianbei army, less than 20,000 fled in panic from the east gate of Chifeng City. The remaining 40,000 cavalry killed nearly 20,000, and the remaining 22,000 cavalry were all captured, while the four in the two camps outside the city Of the more than 10,000 ordinary Xianbei people, except for the thousands who died in the initial battle and during the attack on the army in the city, all the rest were also captured. As for the countless cattle, sheep, horses and countless materials inside and outside the city, they all fell into the hands of the coalition forces.
In Chifeng City, at the north gate of the inner city, Wang Men was standing respectfully in front of Gongsun Zan, reporting to him the war situation in Chifeng City since the Xianbei army attacked. At this time, Gongsun Zan was in high spirits, having swept away the decadence he had felt this year. The joy of the moment overflows from the face.
After hearing what Wang Men said, he looked at his loyal subordinate again. Gongsun Zan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General. Don't worry, General Wang. After I return to Jicheng, there will be a great success." Great reward!”
"The king's family will die in service to the lord!"
The two were talking when they suddenly saw Huangfu Chaobo and Xiaoqiang coming hand in hand. Gongsun Zan patted Wang Men on the shoulder again, smiled and turned around to greet Huangfu Chaobo, saying: "Happy, happy, Chaobo. Brother, this battle was a blast!"
