Chapter 29 The Wu tribe retreats
Whether it was for face or to stabilize people's hearts, he had to return to rescue the royal city.
However, once the troops are divided, Yanmen Pass will have a chance to breathe, and may even be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive. The raid will be meaningless, and the victory that was finally accumulated will be lost.
If his own personal expedition fails to work, it will be a heavy loss to his prestige, and some restless tribes in the country will become even more rampant!
But if you don't go to the rescue, your prestige will also be damaged. If a king can't even save his wife, children and family, how can he protect his people?
The king's relatives were being killed, but he still remained indifferent and refused to rescue him. Then the image of emphasizing love and justice that he had worked so hard to build would suddenly collapse!
Who will be willing to believe in him, and who will be willing to follow him? He will face a crisis of trust!
There can be no chaos in the country! The only way to attack the Southern Dynasties is to find another good opportunity. Besides, some of our own back-ups should come into play when the time comes!
Besides, do you really think that I, Muba Zhen, have this little ability?
Even though Muba was extremely unwilling! Victory was just around the corner! He still ordered the troops to retreat and rush to the aid of the royal city!
Since childhood, he has fought countless battles and won all the battles. When has he ever suffered such a loss? This made him feel extremely angry.
Li Wende in Yanmen Pass has not slept a wink for two days and two nights. All the troops stationed near Yanmen Pass have been deployed, and even the people in the city have been temporarily recruited to help defend the city.
However, the loss of troops and generals in the past was a huge blow to the soldiers in the city. These people had never experienced any war or received any decent military training, and were almost no different from ordinary people.
The invincible image of the Wu Clan has penetrated into their hearts like a curse. Now facing the attack of the Wu Clan, their hands and feet have been trembling and their heads are breaking out in cold sweat.
The Wu tribe soldiers had just won a victory and were in great momentum. With the imperial commander personally conducting the expedition, His Majesty the King was watching. Whoever could bravely kill the enemy and win His Majesty's favor would rise to great heights!
Therefore, the Wu soldiers were all fighting to be the first, and everyone was fighting tooth and nail. The pressure on the Yanmen Pass defenders increased greatly.
Fortunately, Yanmenguan City was tall and strong, and had sufficient defensive equipment. The Great Zhou Dynasty was much better equipped than the Xia Dynasty in terms of military equipment, and relying on the excellent defensive equipment also made up for many of its own disadvantages.
It would be easier to shoot from a high position, and the range would be further. The power of the Eight Ox Crossbow could directly threaten the simple trebuchets of the Great Xia Dynasty.
As for the ramming car, it turned into a ball of flame under the attack of kerosene. Only the erected ladder can form an effective attack on the Yanmen Pass defenders.
The defenders of Yanmen Pass have no retreat, and Li Wende will not give them a retreat. Although he is cruel and ruthless, once Yanmen Pass is broken, the Wu Clan army will march straight in, threatening the six counties in the southwest!
The consequences are even more serious, so at the moment, everyone can only fight bravely and fight to the death.
The soldiers and people in the city have reached their limit.
The Wu soldiers took turns going into battle and could be repaired; the troops at Yanmen Pass were nervous and could only grit their teeth and persevere.
However, it is difficult to hold on now. There are not many soldiers left in the city, and the people have suffered heavy casualties. The supplies to defend the city cannot last long.
Seeing that the city gate was about to be broken, Li Wende drew his sword and planned to die to apologize.
Suddenly, the Wu Clan army stopped attacking and retreated like a tide.
Within half a day, the Wu Clan army retreated completely.
The surviving soldiers at Yanmen Pass cried with joy. They didn't expect that they could survive!
Although he didn't know why the Wu Clan's army suddenly retreated at the last moment, Li Wende knew that there must be some big problem within the Daxia Kingdom, which made him have to give up the victory that was about to be won.
When Mu Ba Zhen led his army back to the royal court, his anger could no longer be suppressed.
He originally thought that with the five thousand elite wolf cavalry he left behind, he would be able to hold on until the army returned no matter what. Unexpectedly, what he saw when he came back was only some defeated soldiers and ruins.
The bodies in front of the royal court have been cleaned up and buried, but the blood stains on the ground are still very conspicuous, making Muba Zhen's eyes hurt!
His two youngest sons and his most beloved daughter were both captured. Moreover, it was only a small cavalry general who led the army to attack.
Muba Zhen began to reflect that his strategy of raiding Yanmen Pass was correct. If there had not been a fire in the rear, Yanmen Pass would have been in his hands at this time.
However, through this incident, he still realized his shortcomings. Not all tribes in the country have returned home, and there are still some tribes or tribal leaders with ulterior motives. This is an internal trouble.
If these internal troubles are not eliminated, he will not be able to attack with all his strength every time he goes to war. Therefore, he must take measures to rectify the various tribes in the country first. He needs to twist the whole country into a rope!
In addition, Mu Kuotai is not strong enough to resist, he lacks manpower! He needs to vigorously discover and cultivate talents, whether they are to govern the country or lead troops, he wants them!
He decided that he would not mind reusing even the talents of Dazhou, as long as they could be used by him and loyal to the Wu clan! Even Nie Yi, he decided to reuse them!
As long as a person like Nie Yi can subdue, he is a pillar of state governance! He Muba can really subdue the entire grassland, but he can't subdue even one Nie Yi? He has this confidence!
In the following time, Muba Zhen suppressed all the tribes who did not obey the command with ruthlessness, while at the same time he was gentle and faced all the talents from all sides who came to vote.
As for Muguotai, Muba did not punish him too much. He knew that his eldest son had tried his best, and there were many reasons for this failure.
The number of giant wolves is limited, resulting in the slow development of the Wolf Cavalry Army. Moreover, the Wolf Cavalry Army's fighting method is relatively simple, which has long been familiar and targeted by the Great Zhou. They need to find and develop a new combat mode for the Wolf Cavalry.
Another reason for the failure of the Wolf Cavalry this time is that the weapons between the two sides are too different. The Wolf Cavalry mainly uses sabers, while the Black Nightmare Cavalry only uses five-meter spears, chain armor, and hand crossbows. They are well-equipped.
!
Weapons and equipment have always been the shortcomings of the Wu clan. There are no iron mines on the grassland, and there is no advanced iron smelting technology, so they suffered a lot during the battle.
Not long after Wu Feng and others returned to Sishui Pass, everyone in Sishui Pass knew about his thousands-mile raid. Sishui Pass and Sishui City once again became a sea of joy.
Many people even took out firecrackers.
Although there has been peace for so long that the common people have a somewhat vague concept of war, the hatred towards the Wu clan is still spread in their blood.
Wu Feng's victory was a real victory, beautiful and simple!
Not only did he kill so many enemies, but more importantly, he successfully defended Yanmen Pass and eliminated the threat from the six northwest counties.
The most eye-catching military exploits were those of capturing the royal family. This was an unprecedented feat. As a result, Zhou had another trump card in his hand.
