Chapter 0068 Han Qi decisive battle
The bustling Xihe Town, which was once crowded with people, was now full of wreckage.
The indigenous people and players no longer had the busyness and enthusiasm of the past, and they cleaned up the collapsed houses and corpses in a numb manner. The bodies were Khitans, as well as Xihe Town people, Kruchi, Jita, and Cinsa tribes.
Although the surprise attack of the Northern Khitan tribe was discovered by the patrol cavalry on the periphery, it came too quickly and suddenly, so there was no time to react in a big way. They hurriedly gathered everyone to Xihe Town and were already at the city.
The Northern Khitan tribe dispatched 30,000 to 40,000 elite troops at one time, and prepared very well. There were more than tens of hundreds of siege vehicles of various types. In the rapid attack of the Khitans, Xihe Town repeatedly defeated the Khitans' siege with the convenience of the city wall, but there were also heavy casualties, with about 2,000 casualties in just one night. The Northern Khitans also suffered more than 5,000 casualties.
This is just the beginning. After facing the tenacious resistance of Xihe Town, the Northern Khitan tribes attacked even more fiercely. They just finished the siege in the evening and had not yet rested in the morning, they took turns to fight again. The arrowheads and stone casting cars smashed Xihe Town into pieces. Except for the city walls, all the newly built Shangxihe Town was destroyed.
The original Xiaxihe Town also destroyed almost one side. Fortunately, Qian Lao had experience and transferred the people to the other side when the Northern Khitans attacked, otherwise the losses in Xihe Town would be even heavier.
In the end, when the Khitans were shaking in the fierce attack and Xihe Town was about to collapse, Qian Tian could only dispatch the two hundred cavalry left behind. After nearly half of the casualties, he cut off the continuous fierce offensive of the Northern Khitan from outside the town, ending the attack overnight and a morning.
In the afternoon, the Khitans drove away the people who had broken through the villages from the surrounding areas as cannon fodder and used their usual methods to attack the city.
Xihe Town was completely in a dilemma. In the end, Qian Lao, who was an indigenous, decisively ordered the arrow to be fired. He took advantage of the retreat of the Khitans, dispatched heavy cavalry and cavalry again to rescue most of the people. He lost the protection of the city wall and was attacked by the Khitans. The cavalry and heavy cavalry lost more than half again.
Fortunately, just when Xihe Town was in a desperate situation, at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the first batch of delayed troops from Keyuan City arrived. With them restraining most of the Khitans on the outside, Xihe Town has initially stabilized.
The Khitans obviously did not expect that Xihe Town had so many troops. Although they attacked fiercely, they still survived tenaciously.
The delay in Keyuan City put them in a dilemma. They were unwilling to leave, and they couldn't delay if they didn't leave, and they couldn't even leave at that time.
At this moment, almost all of them were dispatched. If they did not bring anything back, the losses would be particularly heavy.
Pengpi ordered the dispatch of Khitan elites to harass various parts of Yuanzhou, disperse the troops of Keyuan City, and launch a more fierce attack on Xihe Town.
After a few days, both sides were almost exhausted and attacked Xihe Town several times in a row, but were driven out by the remaining heavy cavalry, and the entanglement between the two sides became even more intense.
At the side of Keyuan City, 30,000 troops were sent, and other soldiers scattered in Yuanzhou were also mobilized under the command of Xi Juan. After a few days, more and more troops gathered. Pengpi's troops had reached its limit, but gradually fell into a disadvantage.
When he decided to retreat, he received a system prompt that the Northern Khitan tribe was attacked by Zhang Yuan.
The Khitans were not so neat. They scattered a very long frontier, and a centurion led a team of 100 people, wandering around the outside of the Han army. The commander of the thousand men was responsible for commanding ten or more centurions. One by one, the 100 people were like wolves in a pack of wolves, and the commander of the thousand men was the leader of the small pack of wolves.
Pengpi is the commander of the commander, and divides the troops ruled by the commander into an independent part of the pack of wolves.
This organization method seems simple, but it is extremely effective.
