After everyone arrived, Lin Nan told everyone about the shape in front of him.

In view of the shape in front of him, Yu Chuan advocated that troops should be sent immediately, gallop to aid Dingxiang, and fight a decisive battle with the Huns in advance, because, judging from the situation of the Huns' fake siege of the city, the Huns may have known that the two counties of Wuyuan and Shuofang were empty, and turned around to loot the two counties, and the reason for the fake siege was to delay time and cover people's eyes, if Lin Nan attacked a little later, the two counties might not be guaranteed.

And Jia Xu, Fu Zhu, and Liu Ye were silent, and of course, Lin Nan himself didn't know what to do.

Because if you can send troops one day late, your chances of victory will increase by one point, but the danger you take will also increase by one point. If you don't get it right, the three counties of Dingxiang, Wuyuan, and Shuofang may all be broken, and you may be defeated, and the people's hearts will be lost, and if you fight with the Huns too early, you are not too sure that you will be able to win the Huns.

And all the generals in the camp are also clear about the shape in front of them, and they are all deeply frowned, and their palms are sweaty.

Lin Nan is actually making a desperate bet now.

What is Lin Nan gambling on? The gamble is that the goal of the Huns is to kill themselves, not to plunder and annex states.

If the goal of the Huns is to kill themselves, then, the Huns will step up their attack on Dingxiang to coerce themselves to send troops, and if the goal of the Huns is to plunder and merge the state, then, Wuyuan and Shuo can be dangerous, and the two counties are broken, Dingxiang can not be held for long, so the price of this gamble is the three counties of the border, not only that, if the three counties of the border are broken, then the state will be completely lost, the door is open, the Huns can drive straight in, and the interior will be dangerous.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Judging from the current battle in Dingxiang, it seems that the goal of the Huns is to plunder and annex the state, not to kill themselves, otherwise, the Huns should step up the siege of the city.

Time. The hall was surprisingly silent.

After a while, Jia Xu raised his head and looked at Lin Nan with a solemn expression.

Lin Nan knew that Jia Xu had something to say. And it was a matter of importance, so he nodded and said: "Wen He can say anything he thinks directly, Nan Xi's ears are listening." ”

After getting Lin Nan's approval, Jia Xu got up and said: "Today's shape is in danger. But it doesn't have to be a troop. ”

As soon as they heard Jia Xu say this, everyone looked at Jia Xu in surprise, the shape is so dangerous, the two counties of Shuofang Wuyuan are in danger, and they still don't send troops?

It is true that most of the people are in favor of sending troops.

Jia Xu said: "Although the Huns started a fake siege, they did not necessarily know the emptiness of the two counties of Wuyuan and went to attack the two counties.

Because, from Wuyuan to Yunzhong, there is only one day's journey, but General Gao Shun walked for three days. Why? Because General Gao made a detour, making the Huns think that it was an increase in troops from the interior, not the defenders of Wuyuan.

General Gao is rigorous and meticulous, I think, the Huns will not see the flaws, and Shuofang is far away from the clouds, and the Huns should not be aware of it, so I think that the Huns do not know the emptiness of the two counties of Wuyuan for the time being.

Moreover. The Huns are good at field warfare, not good at scheming, so for the previous series of tricks. It is believed that the strategy of the Huns has reached the extreme, and it is impossible to do anything more, and judging from the previous series of tricks, the purpose of the Huns' invasion of the state is for the lord, that is, to fight to the death with the lord. Therefore, without achieving their goals, the Huns will not change their minds.

As you all know, the Xiongnu tribes actually did not have a very strict subordinate relationship, and most of the large and small tribes were dependent on each other, so when they saw that the siege war losses were too great, the besieging army began to protect its strength and bluff.

Therefore, it is too early to send troops. ”

Everyone thought about it, and they all felt that what Jia Xu said made sense, and they all nodded.

However, since we can't send troops now, when will we be able to send them?

When there is a doubt, someone asks.

I only heard Tai Shici ask: "Then when does Jia Junshi think we should send troops?"

Jia Xu said: "One day later." ”

"Why?"

In fact, these two words, even if Tai Shici doesn't ask, someone will ask, because everyone wants to know why Jia Xu delayed sending troops for a day.

Jia Xu said: "The Xiongnu siege army is so fake to attack the city, it will inevitably attract the dissatisfaction of other Xiongnu departments, so, within a day, under the pressure of other Xiongnu departments, the Huns will naturally step up the siege, and at that time, the pressure on Dingxiang City will increase suddenly, so, by taking this opportunity, we can naturally send troops after a day."

And our march is to be a battalion step by step, because we can't fight against the Huns' iron cavalry with a tired army, so we still have to send troops as soon as possible, just in case, at the same time, send troops one day earlier, you can also suspend the pressure of Dingxiangcheng, too late, I am afraid that Dingxiangcheng is difficult to protect, although General Zhang Liao is a general, but after all, the Huns have tens of thousands of people, and there is a huge difference in the strength of the enemy and us.

Of course, if we delay for a day before sending troops, we can also wait for General Guan Hai, and with one more manpower, we will have a few more chances of winning. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, everyone was greatly impressed, a military advisor is a military advisor, and there are different reactions.

Fu Zhu also sighed secretly, lamenting Jia Xu's amazing talent, and lamenting Lin Nan's wisdom in knowing people.

And Lin Nan is also very pleased, this Jia Xu was not tied up in vain, and the little reputation he lost was really worth it.

So, Lin Nan said happily: "Wen and Zhenwu's son Fang Ye, with Wen He here, why be afraid of the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Huns?"

As soon as he heard Lin Nan's praise, Jia Xu hurriedly retreated humbly, and his demeanor was very pleasant.

As soon as he saw Jia Xu's pampering and humiliation, Lin Nan admired it even more. He said: "If you have no objections, we will make a decision and send troops in a day." ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lin Nan announced the dismissal of the meeting and asked everyone to go separately to prepare, and although Yu Fan wanted to say something, he didn't say anything.

On the fourth day, the Huns began to intensify the siege of the city, because on the night of the third day, the big tent of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Laji came to an uninvited guest.

This person is none other than the love of Yu Fuluo, the right virtuous king of the Huns.

As soon as he saw that Duozhi was coming, Raj was very strange, and thought that he had surrounded Lin Nan and came to ask for reinforcements.

But he said: "Lin Nan is still not out of the clouds, but I heard that Lord Raj is surrounded by Xiang, and he can't help work." ”

As soon as he heard that Lin Nan had not sent troops, Raj was depressed.

However, Raj still retorted: "After besieging Dingxiang for three days, our army killed more than 10,000 people, how can General Duozhi say that our army is not able to work?"

He smiled and said, "This seems to have happened on the first day of the siege of Dingxiang, and in the last two days, there seem to be few casualties among the adults' army." ”

As soon as he heard what he said, Raj knew that he was already very clear about what he had done in the past two days.

So, Raj said: "I do this to reduce the casualties of our army, after all, I only need to make a feint, and the main thing should be just a siege." ”

After Raj finished speaking, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect Lord Raj to think the same way, but I don't know if Lord Raj knows that our army's food and grass are running out." ”

Hearing the words, Raj was shocked and asked, "Is this true?"

Duozhi sneered: "What does Lord Raj think? Our army doesn't have much grain and grass in the first place, and after staying in Shilipo for so many days, and giving some to the adults, will we still have extra grain and grass?"

Looking at the tone and expression of Duozhi's speech, Raj knew that Duozhi was not lying.

So, Raj asked, "What should we do in the opinion of General Duozhi?"

Duozhi sighed and said: "I just hope that Lin Nan can get out of the city soon, if Lin Nan doesn't die for a day, we won't be able to live in peace for a day, and at the same time, Lord Raji will also step up the siege of the city, on the one hand, we must take Dingxiang to make up for the lack of food and grass in our army, and on the other hand, we must coerce Lin Nan to send troops to help Dingxiang, and we can destroy it halfway." ”

Raj said: "General Duozhi rest assured, I will definitely step up the siege tomorrow and strive to take Dingxiang within three days." ”

Straight said: "Lord Laji can say this, I am relieved, this battle, is our entire Xiongnu life and death battle, win, we can go straight into the Central Plains, full load, and if defeated, we may not have a chance to go south, but also hope that Lord Laji can focus on national righteousness, capture Dingxiang City as soon as possible, and make the first contribution to the revival of my Great Huns." ”

As soon as he heard what Duozhi said, Raji said: "Please tell General Duozhi to Shan Yu that for the sake of the Great Huns and the Kunlun God, Raji will swear to take Dingxiang City." ”

Duozhi also said movingly: "The Kunlun God will give you strength." ”

On the fourth day of the battle to defend the city of Dingxiang, the Huns finally began to attack again.

In the face of the ant-like Hun soldiers under the city, Zhang Liao and others finally waited for the long-lost battle, and Dingxiang City, where the blood stains on the city had not dried, finally ushered in the real test.

After a day of hard fighting, the Huns still did not climb the city, but also threw nearly 20,000 corpses under the city, and the defenders of Dingxiang City, the casualties were also very large, half of the soldiers were wounded, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed, and many people in Dingxiang City also paid their precious lives and blood for their homeland, of course, most of the soldiers who died were infantry, because when defending the city, the cavalry was useless at all, and could only play an auxiliary role like the people.

In the evening, the Huns finally retreated.

After dinner, Zhang Liao discussed the military situation with everyone in the city.

Hou Chengdao: "I really don't understand the Huns, they were still bluffing two days ago, and today they are attacking the city like crazy, what kind of tendon are they messing up?" )
