The battle at Laoye Ridge has lasted for three days. After the crazy attack of the Huns, the defense line on the top of the mountain was also in danger. If it weren't for Yang Hudu's command, he personally took the lead and fought bravely on the front line.

The soldiers of the Shesheng Battalion and the Shesheng Battalion share the same hatred for the enemy and risk their lives. It is very likely that the defense line of Laoye Ridge will be difficult to maintain.

Despite this, the infantry battalion and the Shesheng battalion also endured considerable pressure in this battle. It was related to the life and death of the tribe. It was indeed terrifying for these Huns to fight for their lives. Countless bodies of the Huns had already fallen in front of them.

, but the Hun soldiers behind were still fighting one after another, without being affected at all.

The infantry battalion stood on the front line, so the casualties were naturally the highest. There were 2,000 people in the whole battalion, and the number of casualties in the battle was more than 1,000. About half of the soldiers were stained with blood at Laoye Ridge. Such casualties can be said to be the highest in Pingbei since the Northern Expedition.

The largest casualties suffered by the army.

Although the situation of the Shesheng Battalion is slightly better, it has lost about 20% of its troops so far. It can be seen how tragic this battle is.

In response to such a battle situation, Deng Ai and Shi Bao, who had been hiding in the valley and had never fought, could not sit still and took the initiative to come to Cao Liang to ask for a fight in order to relieve the pressure on the infantry battalion.

Cao Liang shook his head gently: "Now is not the time for you to attack. Although the enemy is tired, he is not completely exhausted. Although the enemy is exhausted, he has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, so he still needs to cross the cavalry camp and the garrison.

The cavalry camp remains hidden until the time is completely ripe before attacking."

In such a difficult situation, Cao Liang still adhered to the tactics he had formulated in advance. The Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp were his two hidden chess pieces. He had to wait until the Huns were exhausted before decisively attacking and defeating the Huns.

A fatal blow.

The time is not ripe now. Although the Wei army blocked the fierce attacks of the Huns again and again, the Huns did not give up and were not exhausted. Their number was several times that of the Yueqi camp and the Tunqi camp. If

When the Yueqi Battalion and the Tunqi Battalion attack, those who fail to hit them are equivalent to giving the Huns a sense of preparedness. If the Yueqi Battalion and the Tunqi Battalion attack again, they will not have the effect of a surprise attack.

Therefore, Cao Liang asked Deng Ai and Shi Bao to restrain themselves and wait for the opportunity. Although it is the most difficult time for the Wei army, the Huns are also in the same difficulty. At this time, they are not only competing for combat power, but also competing for who.

Whoever has a stronger will will win the final victory.

The current war situation is indeed a great test for the infantry battalion. Since the infantry battalion is on the front line, in order to hold on to their position, they often have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the rushing Huns. After three consecutive days of fighting, the infantry battalion has already

The casualties were almost half. According to this strategy, if we persisted for three days at most, the infantry battalion would be almost completely wiped out.

Although the Shesheng Battalion can provide strong support from behind, facing the tide of Huns soldiers, the support of the Shesheng Battalion is ultimately limited. Once the two sides fall into hand-to-hand combat, the crossbowmen of the Shesheng Battalion will also

I don't dare to take action easily anymore, for fear of accidentally injuring my teammates.

What's more, the Huns did not just rush in blindly. Although they could not fight on horseback and could only fight with infantry, which limited the use of the Xiongnu soldiers' special skills, they also had bows and arrows in their hands, so it was impossible not to fight back. The Shesheng Battalion suffered about 20% of its casualties.

, given by the opponent’s archers.

As for when will the opportunity that Cao Liang is looking forward to appear? Cao Liang is not completely sure. Judging from the current situation, the Huns' casualties are at least two to three times that of the Wei army. If this ratio continues, the Huns' casualties will

There will be more and more casualties, and there will always be a time when they cannot hold on and will eventually collapse.

It's just that Cao Liang didn't know when this time would come. The fierceness of the Huns still gave him a great impression. It seemed that Liu Bao's left Huns were much more powerful than Liu Yue's southern Huns.

, this time the Pingbei Army could be considered to have encountered a real powerful enemy.

But what about powerful enemies? Cao Liang came to Bingzhou this time just to pacify the Hulu. No matter if they are Huns, Jie, Di or Xianbei, anyone who offends China will be punished even if they are far away!

On the fourth day, the Huns' offensive momentum was obviously weaker than that of the previous days. It was no longer as fast and fierce as the previous days. Obviously, many days of unfavorable attacks also took a heavy blow to the morale of the Huns.

, Disappointment spread among the Huns, and morale also dropped a lot. This reflected in the attack, which was naturally somewhat incompetent.

But this is still a little bit behind Cao Liang's standard timing. Although the Huns are disappointed now, they are not really desperate. If they want to despair, they have to give them more blows.

At this time, news came from the Zi family that Liu Bao's two sons, Liu Yuan and Liu Hong, led their troops to break out from the Zi family, but they were ambushed by the king. Liu Yuan, Liu Hong and hundreds of their men

All the people were made prisoners.

Although the Wei army temporarily besieged Zishi, the panic caused in Zishi city was inexhaustible. The Huns in the entire Zishi city were in panic all day long, for fear that the Wei army would suddenly attack and let the

Their bodies are gone.

These Huns, whose hands are not stained with blood, will be worried about the bloody revenge of the Wei army once Zishi City is defeated.

At this time, rumors were flying in Zishi City, saying that Liu Bao's reinforcements were defeated by the Wei army on the way, and they would never return to Zishi. Some people also said that Liu Bao did not return to help Zishi at all, and they were still there at this moment.

During the attack on Jinyang, the Zi family had been given up by them.

In short, rumors were flying all over Zishi City, and most of them were related to Liu Bao. As days passed, Liu Bao's reinforcements were still not seen, and many Huns began to feel disappointed.

Going from disappointment to despair is a process, but for some people, it is a short moment. Liu Yuan and Liu Hong were deeply tortured by fear. When they closed their eyes, they could imagine the blood and cruelty when the city was broken.

.

So the two of them ignored the dissuasion of other people, opened the city gate, and led their subordinates to escape.

Even though the king was besieging Zishi City but not attacking it, it did not mean that the king allowed any fish that slipped through the net to escape. When Liu Yuan and Liu Hong tried to escape at night, the king had already sent people out of the city.

An ambush was set along the way, and with little resistance, the king captured the fleeing team alive.
