Chapter 177
That night, Yu Luofu asked the Southern Xiongnu to camp and build a stronghold. They came outside Yunzhong City this time. Although they did not bring effective siege equipment, they still brought enough food. After all, the imperial court gave Yu Fuluo His mission is to besiege Cloudsdale for at least ten days.

The next day, Zhang Yang saw that the cavalry of the Southern Huns were still shouting. He looked at Yang Feng angrily and said, "Didn't you say that the cavalry of the Huns would not stay for long?"

"That's not right. The Xiongnu cavalry have always only plundered and not besieged the city. What's more, what's the point of them besieging the city here?" Yang Feng said with a stiff face. Although he only comforted Zhang Yang yesterday, he said that the Huns would retreat in a day. But he didn't feel in his heart that the Huns had a reason to besiege the city.

The Xiongnu's attack was nothing more than to plunder money and food, but the siege of Yunzhong City could not achieve such a purpose. Therefore, it is not surprising that Yang Feng made this judgment.

Zhang Yang scolded Yang Feng severely, and then left the city wall. He really didn't want to hear the scolding of the Southern Huns cavalry.

On the third day, when he woke up early in the morning, the Hun cavalry continued to yell and curse outside the city, but unlike before, this time, Yuvro directly transferred [-] cavalry from the [-] cavalry and chose to plunder nearby.

The southern Xiongnu cavalry were full of fighting spirit, even if there were only [-] cavalry, they still surrounded Yunzhong City, and if anyone came out of Yunzhong City, they would kill one by one.

The other [-] cavalry were divided into multiple groups and headed in different directions. In the entire Yunzhong County, the main force has been concentrated in Yunzhong City, and other places do not have the ability to defend at all, even the so-called city gate guards. There are no generals, only a few city gate guards. As for the moat, it is not something that a so-called small county can have.

And here is indeed a place that has never been raided, because the Southern Huns cavalry plundered resources that could only be plundered in Taiyuan County in five days in one day, and this also made the Southern Huns cavalry happy After all, when they came here, they didn't expect such a big harvest.

However, on the third day, the prefect of Wuyuan County learned that Yunzhong City was besieged. After discussing with his subordinates, he urgently dispatched 5000 soldiers to reinforce Yunzhong City.

The prefect of Dingxiang County also got relevant news almost at the same time, so he also urgently mobilized [-] soldiers to Yunzhong City for reinforcements.

On the fourth day, the cavalry plundered by the Southern Huns had returned. They all came back with abundant supplies, and even the war horses under them were out of breath because of the heavy supplies.

"Shan Yu, the harvest this time is very rich. According to the statistics of the generals, the harvest this time is several times higher than what we had in Taiyuan County before." Zuo Xianwang said with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad, but I didn't expect Zhang Yang in the city to be so cowardly. We only had [-] cavalry left to besiege the city. He didn't dare to go out to fight. You should come to Yunzhong County earlier." Yu Fuluo said a little swollen, even if the court's promise was not counted, the looting materials were already worth a lot.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang couldn't hear the conversation between Yu Luofu and Zuo Xianwang, otherwise he must be furious.

On the city wall, Zhang Yang looked at the southern Xiongnu cavalry carrying large and small bags of supplies. His mood was terrible, because the Xiongnu cavalry sent [-] cavalry to plunder in front of the guards, and they were in front of the guards. Returning in front of the city soldiers, it can be said that it is almost equivalent to directly humiliating Zhang Yang and the city defenders.

"Come here, prepare to fight." Zhang Yang couldn't bear it anymore, not only was he being scolded by the Hun cavalry now, but the city guards also said behind his back that he was timid and afraid of the Hun cavalry.

"My lord, don't do it." Yang Feng urged eagerly, he didn't want to face the fate of breaking the city again.

"Get out of the way. In this battle, I will definitely make the Huns look good." Zhang Yang said cursing, but he didn't take a step forward. Although he was extremely angry, he also understood very well. There are less than [-] soldiers in the city who want to challenge the Xiongnu's [-] cavalry, which is completely courting death.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that with the greed of the Huns cavalry, they will definitely choose to plunder again. At that time, the lord can attack in one fell swoop and break the enemy's encirclement." Yang Feng took the initiative to find a step for Zhang Yang. It is not important that he will choose to plunder again. The important thing is to make people feel that the reason why Zhang Yang does not go out to fight is not because he is afraid of the Huns, but because he is looking for a better time to fight.

"Yang Feng's words are right. I was angry just now and almost fell into the tricks of the Huns. I didn't expect that even the Huns have learned to cheat." Zhang Yang said sinisterly. He was also looking for reasons not to fight, but he didn't know , No matter how he explained, he couldn't restore the soldiers' morale that was constantly declining.

fifth day

King Zuo Xian was somewhat greedy. Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't respond in the city, and the raiding cavalry had recovered after a day's rest, he asked Yu Luofu to send the ten thousand cavalry out again, and then looted again. All over Yunzhong County.

Yu Fuluo was a little worried, but he couldn't stand Zuo Xianwang's constant persuasion, and now he looked down on the publicity in the city, so after hesitating again and again, he still agreed with Zuo Xianwang's suggestion.

The Xiongnu cavalry responsible for the raid left Yunzhong City again in front of Zhang Yang and the city guards.

On the city wall, all the generals looked at Yang Feng in embarrassment. They didn't expect Yang Feng's words to become a prophecy yesterday. Today, the Xiongnu cavalry sent troops to plunder everywhere again. This directly slapped Yang Feng and Zhang Yang's faces severely.

Yang Feng silently retreated to the side. In this situation, it's better for him to say less.

After five days of siege, not only Zhang Yang, but the rest of the generals were already full of hostility towards the Southern Huns, and even the guards on the city wall could not bear the humiliation, and wanted to end up fighting the Huns.

"My lord, why don't we take this opportunity to fight the Huns. The Huns have no siege equipment. Even if our army goes out of the city to fight, as long as we deal with it properly, the Huns cavalry will not be able to enter the city. Besides, the soldiers in the city are all the elite soldiers of the lord. With [-] Hun cavalry, our army should have a chance to win." Zhang Yang's general Yang Lin said.

"My lord, I also think it's feasible." The other generals also echoed.

"Okay, Yang Lin listens to the order. There are about 6000 Xiongnu cavalry at the south gate. Then I will allocate the [-] cavalry in the city to you. I must win this battle to boost the morale of the army." Zhang Yang ordered, saying, There are a total of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry in the city, and the deployment of [-] cavalry will not affect the defense of Cloud City.

"Yes, my lord." Yang Lin took a step forward and cupped his hands.

At noon, the south gate of Yunzhong City suddenly opened, and Yang Lin led [-] cavalry to swarm out from the gate. After the drawbridge was hung, those Hun cavalry who had been screaming hurriedly chose to avoid it.

The suspension bridge at the south gate of Yunzhong City was not wide, so these cavalry needed to adjust their formation when they got out of the suspension bridge, but Yu Fuluo was not in a hurry, he watched Yang Lin cavalry adjust their formation silently.

In fact, it wasn't that Yu Fuluo didn't want to lead the Hun cavalry to charge, it was just that the Hun cavalry had rested for five days, and he didn't expect that Zhang Yang would really send troops out, so he wasn't in a fighting state at all.

Yang Lin was adjusting the formation of the cavalry, while Yu Fuluo was getting the Hun cavalry ready for battle. Neither side had yet chosen to charge.

In fact, Yang Lin was not worried at all that Yu Fuluo would launch an attack while his army was adjusting, because he had expected that most of the cavalry in Yu Fuluo's army would not be fighting this time. There are a thousand horse archers in Yang Lin's cavalry team. If Yu Fuluo really dares to lead a small number of Xiongnu cavalry to attack Yang Lin's cavalry, Yang Lin will personally teach him what it means to be brave in soldiers.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Lin's cavalry team was finally adjusted.

Yang Lin no longer waited for Yu Fuluo to attack, and directly charged. As the most elite cavalry team in Yunzhong City, these horses were fed with the grain and grass of a county, so these horses were not inferior to the Huns' horses at all.

Shan Yufulo, the Southern Xiongnu, looked at the approaching cavalry team, smiled contemptuously, and then commanded the [-] cavalry under his command to charge away.

On flat ground, cavalry combat is not as particular as infantry. Although there are formation requirements, it is just to keep the formation in order. Rely on the usual training.

In the situation where there are cavalry on both sides, many military formation tactics cannot be used, especially when the opposite is an unreasonable army like the Huns. If you charge directly, you can win the first opportunity.

Since Yang Lin's cavalry formation adjustment has been completed under the eyes of the Xiongnu cavalry, it has no meaning to divide the troops for side attack, because the division of troops for side attack is sudden, and it is impossible for Yang Lin's troops to be under the watchful eyes of the Hun cavalry. The division of troops should be completed in a timely manner, and on the battlefield, when the troops are insufficient, the division of troops itself is a taboo.

As for Yang Lin's cavalry and archery troops, although they were also charging with the cavalry troops, they did not charge at the forefront, but were on the flanks. In this position, they not only have a certain degree of protection, but also can complete the shooting task .

The cavalry of the grassland nomads are not so particular. These Huns have lived on horseback since they were young. They have been with the horses day and night, and they have a deeper relationship. At the same time, it is easier to drive the horses. .

The Huns naturally also had cavalry and archery troops, so when the forwards of the two armies were about to collide, the cavalry and archery troops on both sides had already raised their bows and started shooting at the cavalry troops on the other side.

In terms of equipment, the cavalry of the Southern Huns was inferior to Yang Lin's troops, so after a round of cavalry shooting, the cavalry of the Southern Huns suffered even more serious losses.

Yu Fuluo understood that if he continued to shoot at each other like this, the Xiongnu cavalry would definitely not be the opponent of the Yanglin cavalry, so Yu Fuluo roared and led his men to rush towards the Yanglin cavalry, because only in chaotic combat, the Xiongnu cavalry Only by relying on personal ability can we achieve victory in combat.

"Archery, archery." Yang Lin yelled hastily. After a round of shooting, he already knew the weakness of the Huns' cavalry, which was that they were too poor and poorly equipped to withstand the shooting of bows and arrows.

In the second round of shooting, the Huns cavalry lost hundreds of people, and even some Huns generals were hit by arrows. Over the years, the Southern Huns royal family has become poorer and poorer, and now even the armor of the [-] cavalry is not ready. Although some Hun cavalry had armor on their bodies, they could not completely cover them.

But before the Yanglin cavalry fired for the third round, the Xiongnu cavalry rushed in front of the Yanglin cavalry, and the forwards on both sides began to fight directly.

Under Yufulo's command, two wings of Hun cavalry rushed towards Yang Lin's cavalry and archery troops who were shooting with their bows.

Yang Lin's cavalry and archery troops have never stopped shooting, which made Yu Fuluo miserable. Under each round of bows and arrows, the Huns' cavalry will lose hundreds of people. If this continues, it may be difficult to keep the 6000 Huns' cavalry .

Just when Yang Lin was triumphant, Yu Fuluo led hundreds of cavalry to kill through Yang Lin's vanguard and rushed towards Yang Lin's central army.

Yang Lin never thought that the vanguard troops could be easily pierced. Now he is in a very embarrassing situation. If he chooses to retreat, the army will soon collapse. If he faces a hundred Hun cavalry, Yang Lin is not sure. , It was originally a stable victory. If he knew this, he shouldn't have placed the position of the Chinese army so high in the first place.

There must be no way to retreat. It was just a hundred Hun cavalry. Yang Lin took the spear directly and led the cavalry of the Chinese army to directly kill the hundred Hun cavalry led by Yu Fuluo.

Although Yu Fuluo led only a hundred people, they were all elite Huns. This was his gamble. He bet that Yang Lin would not choose to retreat. Sure enough, he was right.

At the moment when the hundred cavalry collided with the thousand cavalry, neither side chose to retreat. Although Yang Lin had a large number of people, the narrow space simply couldn't accommodate a thousand cavalry, so when they really fought, the advantage of numbers was not brought into play.

Sure enough, the Xiongnu cavalry, who were better at horse fighting, quickly crushed Yang Lin's Chinese cavalry, and Yang Lin, who was rushing to the front, had no possibility of retreating at this time. As long as he retreated, the Chinese cavalry immediately Also choose to go back.

Yu Fuluo finally reached Yang Lin's side, his broadsword and Yang Lin's spear intersected each other, and no one would let the other go.

There were fights everywhere on the battlefield, but the most crucial one was the fight between Yu Fuluo and Yang Lin. If either of them lost, the battle was over.

During the 35th round of fighting, Yang Lin gradually felt inferior to Yu Fuluo, so he wanted to escape, but unfortunately, there was no place for him to escape in the chaos, and his timidity also made his death come faster, only [-] In the first round, Yu Luofu cut off Yang Lin's arm holding the gun with a big knife, and then cut Yang Lin's neck with another knife. After a while, Yu Fuluo grabbed the flying head in his hand .

"Yang Lin is dead." Yu Fuluo yelled loudly, and the rest of the Hun cavalry also yelled.

As soon as the general dies, even Zhang Yang's troops, who already have the advantage over me, immediately lose their fighting spirit. They just want to rush back to the city at this moment. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang can't open the door for them.

Blood flowed like a river on the battlefield, and the six thousand cavalry led by Yang Lin ran and died, and the blood stained the moat outside Yunzhong City.
