Chapter 80 Learning to make tools on the ancient border (36)

What they were going to attack today was a large tribe in Hu Mang, the Wei Xie tribe. Wei Xie was the closest to Yucheng Pass, close to the iron mines, and had a strategic location. Therefore, Chu Kui decided to attack it first.

The distance between the other two large tribes was too far. If they wanted to make a sneak attack, they would have to bypass Wei Xie, Yan and other small tribes. This would easily let the news leak out, which would be detrimental to their sneak attack.

As for the Yan Tribe, the eldest prince Alugu still has the Heart-Eating Gu on his body. As long as he still wants to survive, he can only be controlled by them. This chess piece may have unexpected effects, so don't rush to move it for the time being.

The purpose of sending troops this time was to capture Wei Xie quickly. The Wei army traveled with light vehicles and carried tens of thousands of crossbows and several large crossbow beds to achieve an unexpected effect.

Once within a certain range, Chu Kui ordered everyone to stop and sent scouts to investigate first.

At this time, the Humang people usually gather together to jointly resist the dangers caused by weakness, and the chosen garrison location will be very secluded.

However, they would not have thought that Yu Chengjun had already grasped their movements.

Soon the scout came back and reported the situation to Chu Kui.

It's dawn now, and it's the time when Hu Mang is most relaxed.

Chu Kui said: "Act as planned. Qi Diao, you lead a group of vanguard troops to sneak into the enemy camp and find out where the royal court and the grain and grass are. If necessary, set fire to the grain."

"Leader Xiao Shen, you lead seven thousand cavalry to rush in from the rear of the tribe to meet the Qi Diao Si."

"Yes." Xiao Yanjin was no longer as cynical as usual, his face was full of seriousness.

"I will lead 20,000 soldiers to attack the city from the front, while the rest will guard the fortress and wait for opportunities to annihilate the enemy."

"Yes, general." The other generals also took orders and left one by one to carry out their tasks.

In the Wei Xie tribe, it was almost the time when people were most sleepy. The Wei Xie soldiers on patrol yawned and were complaining in their hearts. Suddenly they smelled a smell of smoke and heard a voice, "Come here, the granary is on fire. Come put out the fire!"

The Weixi soldiers suddenly woke up and ran towards the granary. When they passed a tent, a pair of hands covered their mouths and cut their throats, and they were dragged into the shadows.

Outside Wei Xie City, Wei Xie's sentry had discovered Yu Chengjun, but it was too late. Before he could scream, he was killed by Chu Kui with an arrow.

"Attack the city." Chu Kui gave the order, and the arrows of the large crossbow immediately shot out of the wind and hit the city walls and gates of the Wei Xie tribe.

Seeing the powerful crossbows, the city wall was crumbling. The Hu Mang soldiers on duty could no longer sit still and began to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

I thought it would be easy for a 50,000-strong army to fight against a 20,000-yuan army, but I didn't expect that they would be defeated.

The leader of the Weixi tribe was woken up by the guard, left the woman's bed irritably, and asked impatiently: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Chief, it's not good. The Wei army has invaded and our granary has been burned down. What should we do?"

The leader of the Weixi tribe was in disbelief, "How is it possible? There are 70,000 warriors in our tribe, so how could we be easily defeated? Do you know how many people the other side has and who is leading the troops?"

"The general leading the army seems to be Chu Kui. I don't know how many subordinates there are. I only know that those Wei troops have terrible weapons. We can't resist them at all. They are about to break through the city gate!" The guard was obviously panicked.

"How?!"

The people of the Weixi tribe did not expect that they were still hundreds of meters away from the Wei army. The arrows of the Wei army had already flown out, whistling, and hit the charging Hu Mang cavalry. The giant arrows fired from the crossbow bed were even more powerful. , the soldiers of the Weixi tribe were shot and fell on their backs, recreating the tragic situation of Alu's lone cavalry that day.

The Wei Xie soldiers couldn't believe how the crossbow's range could be so far.

The remaining Wei Wei soldiers rushed to the front of the Wei army's formation, and the two sides began to fight. The Wei army attacked them with long-handled knives and halberds. The Wei Wei soldiers used their weapons to resist, but they did not expect that their weapons were easily hit by the opponent's weapons. After breaking it, the armor that he thought was tough was easily broken by the opponent, and he couldn't feel anything after that.

Relying on the advantage of weapons and equipment, the Wei army was overwhelmingly able to kill the enemy. The enemies kept falling and they fought one after another. The sound of swords and swords was heard on the grassland.

Chu Kui held the Liujing and fought hard with the opponent's generals. Ta Fengxing under him occasionally raised his horse's hoof and hit the Wei Xie infantry who wanted to get closer.

Soon General Wei Xie was defeated and was beheaded by Chu Kui. Under the setting sun on the grassland, there were piles of corpses of Hu Mang people, and the grassland was dyed red with blood.

Chu Kui shouted: "Your general has been killed. The rest of you must surrender quickly!"

After hearing this, other Wei soldiers immediately shouted: "General Wei Xie is dead. Surrender without killing him!"

"General Wei Xie is dead. Surrender without killing him!"

……

Seeing that the general was beheaded, the morale of the people of the Weixi tribe was lost. They were quickly defeated and fled to all directions.

Chu Kui did not order the soldiers to pursue him.

The fleeing Hu Mang soldiers thought they had escaped, but unexpectedly, they were captured one by one by the Yu Chengjun who had already ambushed them as soon as they ran a few hundred meters away.

At this time, the gate of Weixiang City was opened, and a closer look revealed that it was Xiao Yanjin who was standing at the gate.

Chu Kui's horse approached, Xiao Yanjin knelt down on one knee and raised his hands in salute, saying: "General, the leader of the Wei Xie tribe has been captured by General Qi Diao. We killed nearly 5,000 Hu Mang soldiers and captured nearly 30,000 people, including Hu Mang soldiers. and ordinary wild people, and some of them escaped.”

Chu Kui nodded, "Yeah."

He pulled the reins again and said, "Let's go, take me to find the Qi Diao Si."

"Yes." Xiao Yanjin got up and mounted to follow.

The battle between the Wei army and the Hu Mang Wei Xie tribe started in just one day, and the Wei Xie tribe was defeated.

The number of casualties in this battle was less than 2,000, while nearly 30,000 Humang people died in the battle, and nearly 40,000 people became prisoners. Those who had fled before were also captured by soldiers who had already ambushed them. The common people in the Weixuan tribe were also detained.

If you want to ask why Yucheng's army was so familiar with the terrain of Hu Mang, and even the route they took to escape after defeat was guarded, we have to start before the expedition.

A few days ago, everyone was discussing the preparation process in the camp.

"How?" Chu Kui asked.

Qi Diaosi said next: "General, our people have sent back the news, but the topographic map of the Wei Xie tribe is still not detailed enough."

Chu Kui nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen it. Just in case, let the scouts continue to investigate."

Li You said with some shame: "General, the elite of the Wei army have been equipped with weapons made of steel, but the remaining soldiers may not be equipped with them for the time being."

Chu Kui knew that this was the result of Li You and Shen Fangshi's efforts. When he thought of Shen Fangshi, Chu Kui's expression softened for a moment, "No problem. This time the troops are dispatched, the elite will defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield, and the rest of the soldiers will guard the key points and be responsible for encirclement and suppression and follow-up." For battlefield matters, the previous weapons are enough."

"Yes."

Just as he was reporting the next thing, a messenger came in quickly and said, "General, I have something to report."
