Chapter 1,260: Close the Door and Beat the Dog

A few miles east of Fujiabao, Liu Shang looked solemnly at the thousands of cavalry roaring away, his face livid and silent. None of them expected that so many cavalry would be dispatched from Dingyang City. Thousands of cavalry have already headed towards Fujiabao, and there should still be a large number of infantry behind the cavalry. It seems that this battle is a bit uncertain.

However, it was already difficult to get off the tiger at this time, and it was not known how many infantry soldiers in Dingyang City would be sent to fight. Now the cavalry can only be left to Yu Xin and Fangge from Fujiabao. He must first deal with the subsequent infantry before he can support them.

The ten-mile journey was only a moment for the cavalry. When Harun led a thousand cavalry to the official road south of Fujiabao, he saw that the battle in Fujiabao was still going on. Just when they were about to order the cavalry to outflank the two flanks, the attacking Tang Army also saw their cavalry, and suddenly a strong fighting spirit broke out. The Tang Army's attack suddenly became fierce at this time.

At this time, the guards on the fort wall seemed a little relieved to go to sleep after seeing that their reinforcements had arrived. Then at this moment, the Tang army actually attacked the fort wall, and then beat the servants on the fort wall to retreat. Soon, the Tang soldiers on the fort wall entered the suspension bridge in front of the fort gate, and quickly defeated them. The fort gate was also opened.

The Tang army outside the fort shouted loudly and rushed towards the inside of the fort. The general at the head was still shouting something loudly. Harlan knew without thinking that the Tang general wanted to retreat into the fort and rely on the Wubao to resist. But at this time, it was the best situation that Harun had expected, and Harun's meeting was as General Tang wished.

Harlan straightened up on his horse, pulled out his scimitar, and shouted in the direction of Fujiabao: "Young men, rush up and kill all the Tang dogs. You can take the property in the fort for yourself!"

After shouting, Harun took the lead and galloped away in the direction of Wubao. As for the eldest young master of the Fu family and his two servants beside him, Harun didn't even look at them. At the beginning, his plan was to take this young master with him. If he drove away the Tang army, he could enter Wubao to get some benefits. Now that Wubao had been captured by the Tang army, the young master was of little use.

A thousand Xiongnu cavalry were overjoyed when they heard this, and each one shouted strangely and rushed towards the Tang army in the direction of Wubao.

Seeing the Hun cavalry getting closer and closer, the Tang soldiers became even more panicked and scrambled to squeeze into Wubao, hoping that they could get inside before the Hun cavalry arrived. This made the situation at the gate of Wubao even more chaotic. . Seeing this, the Huns cavalry became even more happy, and all of them screamed and rushed towards the gate of Wubao.

Looking at the direction in which the Huns cavalry were charging, Fu Yang took a deep breath on the ground. Fortunately, his family had already moved away. If these beasts were really allowed to enter the fort, I don't know what it would be like. .

Thinking of this, Fu Yang called two Tang soldiers and said: "You two, send one person on horseback to tell General Liu what happened here. Remember to avoid Dingyang's infantry. The other person will follow me in from the side door. Let’s go and have a look inside the fort. I guess General Yu and the others must have other arrangements.”

Fu Yang's guess was correct. When the Huns cavalry approached within a hundred steps of Wubao, Tang soldiers began to shoot sparse arrows at the charging Huns cavalry on the fort wall. In one moment, dozens of Huns cavalry were shot. Dismounted, but such losses did not matter to the Huns cavalry. The other cavalry still leaned forward and rushed forward.

Just when the Huns cavalry rushed twenty or thirty steps away from the fort gate, there were still three to four hundred Tang soldiers who had not had time to enter the fort gate. When they saw this, they immediately stopped entering the fort and ran to both sides along the fort wall.

At this time, the Huns cavalry had no intention of caring about them.

Under the leadership of a centurion at the front, they rushed directly into the fort. As the Hun cavalry in front rushed into the fort, the cavalry behind them became even more eager to enter the fort. After all, the Huns' rule was first come, first served, and whoever got it would get it. Although five to six hundred Tang troops had entered the fort, they didn't care. In their opinion, they had a thousand cavalry, and it only took a moment to kill hundreds of Tang troops who had fled into the fort. Got to be clean and tidy.

Now their minds were focused on how much they could grab by entering the fort. All the Huns cavalry had almost no other thoughts, they just wanted to rush into the fort and plunder as soon as possible. For a time, the order of the cavalry entering the fort was also chaotic.

Finally, most of the cavalry rushed into the fort gate. Suddenly, there was a shout from above the fort wall: "Kill!" Immediately afterwards, the Hun cavalry inside and outside the fort discovered that above the fort wall, Countless Tang Army crossbowmen suddenly appeared, and then rain-like crossbow arrows fell from the sky, pouring directly on their heads.

Caught off guard, more than three hundred Huns cavalry who were still waiting to enter the fort fell down in the first round of crossbow arrows, and the rest of the cavalry also suffered more or less. At this time, hundreds of cavalrymen in the fort were also blocked in a street that was several feet wide and two hundred paces long. On the roofs on both sides of them, hundreds of Tang Army crossbowmen also appeared. , using the bows, arrows and crossbows in their hands, they fired arrows at them. starter

By this time, even the most stupid person knew what had happened, and he and others had fallen into the trap of Tang Jun.

Seeing this, Harlan, one of the cavalrymen, quickly reined in his horse's head and shouted loudly: "Counterattack, prepare to retreat, don't panic, everyone, we have thousands of cavalry, as long as we withdraw from Wubao, everything will be fine..."

"Well……"

"Pfft..."

Before he finished speaking, an arrow flew from the side and shot directly into his throat, nailing him to death instantly. As Harlan died from the arrow, the remaining Huns cavalry became even more confused. Some cavalrymen wanted to move forward, but some were ready to turn their horses and retreat to Wubao. For a time, the Hun cavalry on the entire street became a mess.

At this moment, hundreds of Tang troops who fled to both sides outside the fort gate circled back, surrounded, divided and killed the more than a hundred Huns cavalry remaining outside. With the cooperation of the crossbowmen at the head of the city, no one of the three hundred Huns cavalry outside the fort was exposed, and they were all killed on the spot.

Afterwards, the Tang army left the injured soldiers to collect the Xiongnu horses outside, and the rest of the soldiers went directly towards the fort. At this time, the soldiers in the gate tower above the fort gate had closed the fort gate again, and the suspension bridge had been closed up. The five or six hundred Huns cavalry in the fort had become turtles in the urn.

With the retreat route cut off, the morale of the Hun cavalry was getting lower and lower. After killing more than a hundred Hun cavalry in the fort, Yu Xin shouted from the gate tower of the fort: "Those who dismount their horses and kneel down and surrender will be spared." Die!” New 81 Chinese website is the fastest updated computer version:

"Dismount, kneel down and surrender to avoid death!"

"Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"

…

The Huns cavalry has always respected the strong, but now they have no way out. In the voice of surrendering to avoid death, all the remaining Huns cavalry quickly dismounted and surrendered. Yu Xin and Fangge were both overjoyed and arranged for their soldiers to gather the Huns prisoners. and war horses, while hurriedly climbing onto the fort wall to deploy defenses.
