Lin Han served as the advisor.
There is no other way. There are no staff officers in the army, so I have to do it myself.
"Brother Baiqi, you lead the cavalry in an ambush in the woods, and I will lead the infantry to hide among the houses in the city. Using the horn sound as a signal, when the Wuhuan bandits enter the city, you and I will attack from both sides. We will surely win the battle."
"good."
Zhang Baiqi clapped his hands and agreed.
"Brother Baiqi, remember to tie up the horse's mouth and stop it from neighing. This will alert the Wuhuan bandits and ruin our efforts."
Zhang Baiqi responded and led his cavalry out, lying in ambush in the woods.
Lin Han gave an order, ordering all the Yellow Turban soldiers to form groups of ten, with squad leaders leading the teams, and hide in the houses in the city. All the archers were ambushed on the city walls and in the houses.
The city of Guangping, which had 14,000 soldiers and horses just now, was deserted in an instant, and the chickens, dogs, pigs and pigs were dormant and silent.
Half an hour later, smoke and dust rose from the sky, blocking out the sun.
I saw five thousand cavalrymen coming in, and the earth seemed to be shaking.
The cavalry approached the city gate without slowing down, and galloped into the open city gate as if they were entering an empty space, as if they had long been accustomed to it.
The Wuhuan people on horseback were still whining and shouting in excitement.
The cavalry entered the city and scattered throughout the city to plunder.
"The horn sounds."
"Shoot me, archers."
Seeing that most of the cavalry had entered the city, Lin Han shouted to the bugler beside him.
The next moment, horns sounded everywhere, and the archers lurking on the city walls and rooftops began to shoot indiscriminately at the cavalry on the streets of the city.
For a while, the screams continued.
Sensing the danger, the Wuhuan soldiers who had entered the city were in chaos, discarding the looted items and trying to retreat outside the city. However, the city gates had already been occupied by the Yellow Turban archers on the city walls. Anyone who wanted to leave the city had to pass through the rain of arrows to block the way.
The prelude to the massacre is beginning.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Wuhuan soldiers dismounted and hid among the residential buildings on the roadside.
Ten big men were in the residential building, looking at them with shining eyes.
The screams continued.
"Archers, retreat, drums of war sound, kill them!"
Lin Han gave a loud order, and the war drums sounded. The Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the residents' houses rushed out. When they saw the Wuhuan soldiers on the street, they rushed over with red eyes.
The streets in the city were not suitable for the war horses to gallop, and the Wuhuan soldiers were stabbed into sieves by the long spears of the Yellow Turban soldiers.
The rest of the Wuhuan soldiers were filled with fear. The leading commander stopped his bows and arrows and immediately ordered a retreat. When they risked their lives to rush out of the city, they found that 6,000 cavalrymen were outside the city, surrounding the gates tightly.
"We surrender."
"surrender."
"surrender."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Wuhuan leader dropped his weapons, dismounted and surrendered. The rest of the people all threw away their armor and weapons, dismounted and surrendered.
The battle in the city entered its final stage. The streets were littered with corpses, and the bricks and stones were stained red with blood. Only the Yellow Turban soldiers were cleaning up the bodies.
More than 3,000 Wuhuan soldiers were killed, and more than 1,000 Wuhuan soldiers surrendered. Excluding the dead war horses, more than 4,300 war horses were harvested.
Not long after, the Wuhuan cavalry commander Asomu was brought to Lin Han.
A sturdy man from the grassland, with dark skin, fierce face, and wearing animal skin clothes full of smell, became much more obedient after seeing Lin Han and Zhang Baiqi.
"Where is your Wuhuan tribe?" Lin Han asked coldly.
"If you have the decency to do so, let me go immediately, or our leader will lead his army and crush you to the ground."
"You're pretty tough."
Lin Han signaled the Yellow Turban soldiers around him to grab his hands and pierce his palms with spears.
The screams were chilling.
"I said, our royal court is in White Wolf Mountain, and the leader of Qiuliju is in White Wolf Mountain in Liucheng."
"Isn't that good?"
Lin Han raised his hand and shot, piercing Asomu's throat.
"What should we do with those prisoners?" Zhang Baiqi looked at the Wu Heng soldiers with their hands and feet tied and asked Lin Han.
"Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. Keeping them is a waste of food."
Zhang Baiqi nodded secretly and made a gesture to the leader who was escorting the prisoners.
The next moment, screams rang out one after another, and more than a thousand corpses fell coldly to the ground, without a sound.
"North of Guangping is Baitan, east of Baitan is Pinggang, and further east is Bailang Mountain."
"General Daqu, do you want to attack the Wuhuan royal court?" Zhang Baiqi swallowed his saliva and asked in shock.
"No, we have only over 10,000 men, while the Wuhuan have over 200,000. We don't have many soldiers and generals, and the imperial army behind us is not on the same page, so we shouldn't take any risks. However, if we can't capture the Wuhuan royal court, we can consider Baitan and Pinggang."
"Okay, I'll listen to Marshal Daqu."
There was a burning look in Zhang Baiqi's eyes.
Map of the border between Youzhou, Wuhuan and Xianbei
The three states of You, Bing and Ji were often plundered by the Wuhuan and Xianbei bandits. The other side never expected that they would take the initiative to attack.
"Brother Baiqi, you are skilled in horsemanship, so lead the 6,000 cavalry to attack. I will hold back the invading forces in Guangping, repair the city gates, and defend Guangping City." Lin Han said, "When you defeat Baitan, cut off their food supplies, and the invading forces will no longer be a threat."
"Yes, Marshal Daqu."
Zhang Baiqi led 6,000 cavalrymen, took five days of dry food, rode out of the city, and disappeared into the vast grassland.
Lin Han ordered his men to chop off the heads of 5,000 Wuhuan cavalrymen and pile them up on the flat land outside Guangping City to build a Jingguan.
The hill-like human heads are a spectacular sight.
The next day, as Lin Han had expected, a mighty force of tens of thousands of Wuhuan soldiers rolled in from the distant grassland.
"The Wuhuan are good at riding but not at fighting in the streets. Archers, take note! When the Wuhuan cavalry approach the city gates, shoot them. Shoot the horses first, then the men. Kill the generals first, then the soldiers. Put trip wires every five meters in the streets. If you see Wuhuan cavalry entering, kill them without mercy."
Lin Han arranged the tactics and waited for the Wuhuan soldiers to attack the city.
Sure enough, seeing the pile of heads outside Guangping City, the Wuhuan soldiers lost their minds and rushed towards Guangping City frantically.
