The Xiongnu soldiers were not the opponents of the Han army, and the Han army outside the city suddenly appeared outside the city like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

They finally pretended that the peace talks were delaying, but many small tribes and slaves were already moved, even if the Huns were strong, but the Xinxi Liang army outside the city was stronger, and the promises given by the other party were genuine.

On this day, the Huns were stabbed in the back in a hurry, and in a very short time they suffered heavy losses, and the rest of the men held out for less than a moment before each snatching their horses and fleeing for their lives.

On the south gate of Gaonu City, the Xiongnu commander gathered more than 600 Xiongnu soldiers to resist stubbornly, and they successively killed and repelled two or three waves of rebellious soldiers and horses, guarding the city gate, and did not let Xue Xia and others outside the city enter the city.

Xue Xia looked at the Hun commander so brave, and sighed: "No matter how powerful you are, it's useless, our army has no intention of entering the city from here, and it will be in vain if you delay any longer."

Knowing that the Xinxi Liang army suddenly launched a siege on the city, King Yu Lu tried to organize resistance at first. However, the city walls on the east and west sides had fallen, and the information about a large number of miscellaneous and slave rebellions finally made him understand that there was no longer anything south of Yanshui.

He ordered the guards to dispose of the bearded leader, and then gathered the two thousand cavalry around him, ready to rush out of the north gate and take refuge with the two Shuofang kings in the north.

Those miscellaneous leaders were taken down in an instant, and they knew that the Huns had turned their faces, and they all opened their mouths to scold angrily. One of them was even more angry and said: "If you are a ghost, you will not let him go, and curse the Huns to cut off their children and grandchildren!"

Right Yu Lu Wang said lightly: "This incident has made me understand a truth, except for our purebred slaughter departments, no one else can be relied on. So let's all die! ”

"Ahh

All the leaders of the miscellaneous Hu were killed, in fact, this is also the normal state of the Xiongnu to deal with other ethnic groups, if it is useful, it will be squeezed dry, and if it is useless, it will be eliminated.

It seems that the Han people also treat the Qiang people like this, they can't be mercenary thugs, so they organize the people together. Even many distant civilizations on this land have a slight resemblance.

It has to be said that this was a cruel but objective theme of that era, but Tong Yuan would break this situation.

King Lu led 2,000 cavalry out of the north gate with great success, carrying as much clothing, dried meat and beans as possible, after all, the city was still five hundred miles away, and the difficulty of this trip was unimaginable.

He looked back at Gaonu City, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that ten days ago, 50,000 troops and 200,000 cattle and sheep had been transferred.

For two hundred years, the Xiongnu people successively annexed the Han Dynasty, but even if they entered the Han city in winter to escape the cold, they never forgot the way of life on the grassland. This nomadic economy is very likely to make a comeback as long as the tribes and livestock are alive.

In terms of time, it is estimated that these troops have traveled half the distance, and they must have left the danger zone.

If they hurry up, they may be able to catch up with the huge, but incapable of fighting in a few days, so that it will be foolproof.

Once you catch up, you don't have to worry about supplies anymore. At that time, it was estimated that there were only a few dozen miles left from Fushi City, and you could enter the safe area within two days.

The road they took was called the Han Straight Road at this time. After leaving Gaonu City next to Yanshui, pass in the northeast direction to reach the vicinity of the junction of Zoumashui and Haoyanshui, and then divert to the northwest and rush along Luyanshui in the northwest direction of the big city Fushi City.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually withdrew from the later northern Shaanxi region, theoretically this road lacked the maintenance of county laborers, and was likely to be dilapidated.

However, because it connects Yinshan and Chang'an, Hetao and the Central Plains, it is an important economic artery, but it has prospered again in the hands of the local people and the passing Han and Hu ethnic groups.

However, the Xinxi Liang Army chose another path, that is, Qin Zhidao.

The Qin Straight Road has a long history and is more famous than the Han Straight Road.

In terms of marching, it differed markedly from the Han Straight Road path after Gaonu. The Qin Straight Road turned out to be a passage through the lofty mountains and mountains, almost straight north to Fushi, and even the Hetao.

In other words, the Qin Straight Road is shorter than the Han Straight Road and can be surpassed.

The reason for the obvious bifurcation between Qin Zhidao and Han Zhidao is that the functions and positioning of the two are slightly different.

The military and political use of the Qin Straight Road is more obvious than that of the Han Straight Road, and this road is designed for the rapid transfer of the army, so it will not go north directly, and it will not turn to the eastern settlements for the sake of people's livelihood and commerce.

In this way, it is estimated that it will be nearly a hundred miles longer than the Han Straight Road.

For more than 300 years, the road has been abandoned due to its remoteness and high cost of repair, and only the residents who live in the vicinity all year round, as well as some inverted fighters, know its exact location.

However, this is enough, even if there is no capable person like Shen Long, the Four Seas Merchant Gang has also learned the direction of this road through the fragments of intelligence from all sides, and basically knows the surrounding natural conditions.

Although it was difficult, for the Xinxi Liang Army, which had been trained and had abundant materials, it was natural to rise to the challenge.

Shen Long, Yu Poison, and Xue Xia led 3,000 soldiers and 4,000 engineers embarked on this road to challenge the limit.

At the beginning, the road was just hard to find, and rocks blocked the way. In the back, it will be necessary for the unloading department and other engineers to open the mountains and pave the road while working day and night.

Fortunately, there were guides and sinan in the army, as well as troops who were proficient in mountain marching and almost full-time engineering troops. In two days, the Xinxi Liang army exceeded the plan and walked 230 miles. It is estimated that they can catch up with the opponent's herd and rout.

But it gets harder and harder, and the part that crosses the water is particularly difficult. This is the upper part of the river, which is narrow but has a deep canyon. The engineers didn't know how Qin Shi passed at all, so they didn't know where to start.

Shen Long showed his housekeeping skills, he dug out the deep soil underground, and found that the water level here was originally at the height of the mountainside, so that the canyon was just not so deep, just enough to build a bridge to cross it.

It is estimated that the bridge is a wooden structure with wooden piers to support the bridge body. Personnel, horses, and flatter vehicles can pass directly, and heavy goods are likely to be dismantled and transported one by one.

However, now that the water level has fallen to the bottom, it is impossible to even cross it, and it is impossible to build a bridge.

The method of unloading the ridge is to first use the centipede to hang the mountain ladder down to the bottom of the canyon, and then use the same method to climb to the top of the opposite mountain.

Ropes are linked to each other, and the chains are passed through with ropes, and then timber is laid to build bridges.

This is certainly possible, but it will take a day to complete. In this case, even if the Qin Straight Road is nearly a hundred miles higher than the Han Straight Road, it will be difficult to complete the transcendence of the encirclement.

There are also no thick trees here that can be used to swing ropes over, what should I do?

This time, even Shen Long was a little at a loss, could it be that this battle plan to overtake the other party from Qin Zhilu was about to be given up because the road ahead was difficult?
