Rebirth: The little puppet emperor, tearing apart the regent with his own hands

The Western Wei and the Huns were killing each other like crazy. The war was like a huge meat grinder. No matter which side, human lives were harvested like a tide.

More and more men fell on the battlefield, and more came up to fill the gaps.

The Western Wei infantry with the help of repeated crossbows was obviously better, and there was a faint tendency to suppress the Huns cavalry.

This was an advantage piled up with human lives. The Western Wei soldiers fell one after another, and the Huns cavalry were harvested one after another.

It's just that the advantage built up by human lives is getting smaller and smaller as the number of people on the battlefield in the mixed phalanx of the Western Wei slave army's Northern Patrol Battalion garrison becomes smaller and smaller.

The 400,000 soldiers were almost wiped out, with only less than 100,000 left.

Except for the first part of the Huns' cavalry, which was equipped with heavy armor, the equipment of those behind them became worse and worse, and they were no different from stragglers.

But even so, the Huns became more and more courageous. They paid a huge price of 150,000 cavalry and killed 300,000 soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty.

There are still about 100,000 Huns cavalry, and there are probably less than 100,000 Huns infantry in the rear, a total of 200,000 people.

On the Western Wei side, there were less than 100,000 infantry left, and the cavalry on both wings had long been killed by the Huns. At this time, there was no way to resist the attack of the Huns' cavalry on the two wings, and they were quickly dispersed.

Now that the numerical advantage came to the Huns, Hu Yanzhuo's eyes burst out with fierce light. He licked his lips, as if he could see victory soon, and gave the final order to the cavalry.

"Everyone come together and harvest their lives!"

All the cavalry charged at the same time. This time behind them, the Hun infantry followed closely.

The Huns cavalry was like a huge tank, charging rampantly, smashing the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty to pieces.

The Xiongnu infantry behind them immediately followed up, waving their long swords and harvesting the lives of the Western Wei soldiers.

At this point, except for the Huns, no Western Wei soldiers were standing in front of the gate of Lincheng. Looking up, the ground was full of corpses, piled on top of each other, as far as the eye could see.

War was the meat grinder, and the first thing to be minced was the 400,000 lives of the Western Wei Dynasty.

"Win!" Hu Yanzhuo shouted with red eyes: "Win!!!"

Su Qing curled up on one side and closed her eyes weakly.

Hu Yanzhuo's spies had previously reported that Lincheng included 200,000 garrison troops from the Northern Patrol Battalion who had been defeated and retreated. Yu Wenwen also summoned 300,000 government troops.

In other words, Yu Wenzhang only had an army of 500,000 people. Now they have killed 400,000 people, leaving only about 100,000 people left in the city.

"Yu Wenzhang!" Hu Yanzhuo laughed. He had never been so happy.

"You still have 100,000 people, why are you fighting with me?! Why don't you quickly open the city gate and sacrifice your heads?"

Yu Wenzhang sneered and said: "One hundred thousand people? How do you know that I don't have anyone else? There are hundreds of thousands of people in Lin City, how come I can't form an army?"

Huyanzhuo laughed loudly and said: "This is indeed what you said, but are you the people of Lincheng?"

Hu Yanzhuo waved his hands disdainfully and said, "They can only tremble and beg us to let them go. Can they afford a sword?"

Yu Wenzhang said disdainfully: "No need to talk nonsense, I just want to ask you, do you dare to attack the city?

I'm not afraid to tell you that I still have a hundred thousand troops here, and my reinforcements will arrive soon. There are hundreds of thousands of people lining up in the city waiting to be my human shields, and there are countless traps set up in the city. You Dare you come in? "

Hu Yanzhuo fell silent when he heard the words "human shield". The expression on his face was uncertain. The human shield composed of 400,000 soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty really scared Hu Yanzhuo.

The soft-footed shrimps of the Western Wei Dynasty that he originally looked down upon used their 400,000 miserable lives in exchange for the precious lives of their 150,000 cavalrymen!

Although it seems that they have made a profit, because there are not many Huns, every life of his cavalry is precious. How can the soft-footed shrimps of the Western Wei Dynasty compare with them?

He looked at Yu Wenzhang. He was not afraid of his 100,000 soldiers, nor the hundreds of thousands of civilians. Even if he was afraid of "human shields", how could the civilians compare with the soldiers?

When they see the iron hooves of the Huns, it will be fine if they don't get scared and run around causing chaos. How can they be used as human shields for Yu Wenwen?

What he was really afraid of was the reinforcements Yu Wenwen mentioned. He had finally exhausted his army of 400,000. If another 400,000 came, he would have no place to cry.

He stared at Yu Wenzhang, trying to see any bit of intelligence from his calm face. He had fought with this man many times, and he knew very well how cunning and insidious this man was. Maybe what he said was right, of course. The greatest possibility is that this is simply an "empty city strategy."

Yu Wenwen was deceiving him. He bet that he would not dare to attack the city, so that Yu Wenwen could have a chance of survival.

This war started when he threatened Yu Wenzhang's bedfellows. He knew that Yu Wenzhang had always planned to wait until spring before fighting them.

Hu Yanzhuo looked at Su Qing, who was curled up on one side. The man made the kidnapping plan with him, and swore to him that as long as he threatened Yu Wenwen with this man, he would definitely start a war.

Hu Yanzhuo didn't believe it at first and just wanted to give it a try. Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded!

It seems that this person is really important to Yu Wenzhang, so important that he can overturn his previous plan and advance the war, even if the situation is not good for him.

But he knew Yu Wenzhang's character very well. Yu Wenzhang would not fight a useless war. Since he started the war, it proved that in his heart, he could win the war.

But now, all his 400,000 soldiers are dead, and he lost the bet. This is something he never expected. After all, if his side is not equipped with heavy armor in time, winning or losing is really not certain.

Therefore, Hu Yanzhuo's gambling article had no time to ask for support. He was simply stalling for time now.

Of course, maybe he really has reinforcements on the way, but their 150,000 warriors cannot die in vain.

He has come this far, and he is bound to win Lincheng. He will use Lincheng's hundreds of thousands of people to make up for the losses of his army.

Thinking of this, Hu Yanzhuo stopped talking nonsense to Yu Wenzhang and roared angrily: "Attack the city!"

The heavy stones from the catapults that had been prepared long ago were violently thrown out, hitting the city gate hard, and the crossbows were fired at the city wall to clear the way for the fenyun car moving slowly below.

The chariot is a weapon commonly used in ancient city sieges. It looks like a four-wheeled bottomless wooden cart. It is covered with cowhide to resist arrows on the city. People push the cart forward in the cart, which can cover the soldiers approaching the city wall to attack. But it cannot directly destroy the city wall, and one car can hide about ten people.

According to the "Wu Jing Zong Yao" records: The chariot has a hollow upper cover like an ax blade (the ladder plate of the chariot should not be equipped with a wooden board, and the middle can accommodate people on the ground to push the cart). It is carried on four wheels, and its cover is covered with a single rope. The spine is covered with raw cowhide. It can cover ten people, and the tomb god pushes it, and goes straight to the bottom of the city to attack them.
