Chapter 11 Xiongnu Raid, Han Army Crisis

Ding Yuan still felt restless after sending out the scouts, and always felt that there was a beast staring at him in the dark, and this feeling that his fate was not in his own hands made Ding Yuan extremely uncomfortable.

The Yanmen Pass that falls at night is more thick and simple, and the sparse starlight is sprinkled on the land of Yanmen, showing more mysterious.

At the head of the city, Ding Yuan looked at the patrol soldiers and nodded slightly, looking at the darkness outside the Yanmen Pass, a battle spirit rose to the sky, Ding Yuan believed that he was no worse than the wolf Juxu Huo to get sick under the same advantage.

"General, you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time, and I've finally found you. When Ding Yuan was venting his ambitions, a voice woke Ding Yuan up.

"I can't sleep at night, so I'll come and see, tonight's city defense is well arranged, who decorates it will remember to reward it tomorrow." Ding Yuan looked at the soldiers who were still patrolling and said with admiration on his face.

"The subordinates are ashamed, this is what the subordinates should do, and I hope that the adults will point out the shortcomings." The young general hurriedly said after hearing Ding Yuan's words.

Ding Yuan turned his head and looked at the young general in front of him seriously, only to see that the young general's appearance was not outstanding, and he belonged to the type that could not be found if he was thrown into the pile, and his face was serious and unsmiling.

"I remember you, is your name Gao Shun?" Ding Yuan looked at the young general in front of him and admired it in his heart, if he was given enough time and experience, he would definitely be able to grow into a great general who was in charge of his own affairs. "Okay, do you have anything to do with me late at night?"

Gao Shun looked at Ding Yuan and said respectfully, "The general's fastest supplies have been delivered, and the others will not be delivered until seven days." ”

Ding Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "Is it the fastest?" ”

"General, it's already the fastest speed."

"How many days can the supplies last when the war comes?" Ding Yuan said solemnly

"General, if it is a conventional war, our supplies can last more than half a month, but ......." Gao Shun said with a somewhat ugly face.

"But what news did you find?" Ding Yuan instantly understood after looking at Gao Shun's face.

"According to sources, Xianbei has recently been recruiting troops and horses with the intention of taking down the Xiongnu." Gao Shun said tremblingly.

After Ding Yuan heard Gao Shun's words, his face began to turn pale, "The serious casualties of the Xiongnu cattle and sheep mentioned some time ago were done by Xianbei, but this is unreasonable...."

"General, I'm afraid that the Huns know that they can't beat the Xianbei people, so they need to move to the Central Plains, and the casualties of cattle and sheep should be Mingzhi." Gao Shun smiled bitterly. I have to say that Gao Shun is worthy of being a general who left a mark in history, and with just a few pieces of news, he explored the situation of the Xiongnu clearly.

"They don't think that my big man is easy to bully, even if it is a million army here in my Yanmen Pass, they have to stop." Ding Yuan's face began to become distorted, although he never believed what Gao Shun said, but there was always a voice in his heart saying that Gao Shun was right.....

Bell Bell ..... A rapid gong sounded to break the silent night, and the entire Yanmen Pass suddenly seemed to come to life, and the soldiers in the pass quickly put on their armor and picked up weapons in their hands, and lined up neatly on the head of Yanmen City to stare at the darkness in the distance.

When the Han soldiers were nervously carrying supplies, a scout appeared at the Yanmen Pass covered in blood, "The Yanmen scouts are coming to report, the Hun cavalry is attacking towards Yanmen, and the number of our scouts is unknown, and our scouts are all annihilated." ”

Just when a soldier wanted to open the city gate, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves in the darkness in the distance, and the scout gritted his teeth and turned his horse, "Brothers, I will go first, long live the big man!! With that, the scout picked up his spear and slapped his horse, and ran into the darkness without looking back.

When the Yanmen Gate was closed, the Han guards looked at all this, their eyes were red, they felt that it was so useless for the first time, it was useless, and tens of thousands of people up and down the Yanmen could not save a single person.

Ding Yuan looked at the grief and anger in his heart as he looked at the scout who disappeared into the night, "Archer, the farthest shot rocket is released in one round!" ”

As soon as Ding Yuan finished speaking, a round of fire rain flew up from the Yanmen Gate, piercing the dark night sky to illuminate the earth, and finally fell on the grass and lit a bonfire, the Hun cavalry was exposed to Yanmen at this time, only to see the Hun cavalry as if they did not see the flames and the city wall as if they were desperately galloping towards Yanmen.

"The archer fires two rounds in a salvo, turning into scattering!" With Ding Yuan's order, the Yanmen Gate was closed, and a rain of arrows rose again.

The Hun cavalry held round shields in both hands to protect their bodies, but there were still many 'lucky ones' who were shot and fell to the ground, and were immediately trampled into a puddle of mud by the cavalry behind.

The Hun cavalry also showed no weakness, dodged two volleys, and then took off the bow and arrow behind their backs and shot at the head of the city, and the two sides went back and forth like this, and there were casualties on each other......

"Gao Shun, did you say that the Huns had brought engineering equipment, what are they going to do now?!" Ding Yuan hid behind the battlements and frowned at the almost suicidal Hun cavalry under the city, and asked Gao Shun.

"General, if it is dark today, we will not be able to see clearly even if we light the torches, and now we can only take one step at a time and spend tonight!" Gao Shun hid behind the battlements and said loudly.

After Gao Shun finished speaking, he immediately got up, bent his bow and arrows, and accurately shot a Hun cavalryman........

At this time, in the darkness ten miles away from Yanmen, tens of thousands of Hun cavalry did not move here, as if they were integrated with the darkness, and the leading Huns looked at the flames of Yanmen Pass and laughed disdainfully.

"It is said that the Han people are cunning and changeable, and I think it is nothing more than that, and I ordered the rear army of 20,000 people to camp thirty miles from Yanmen, and no torches are allowed!" As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier saluted, then slapped his horse and ran behind him.

"It is also rumored that the 20,000 soldiers of the Chinese army, a team of 5,000 people, a team of 5,000 people will take turns to attack Yanmen Pass for an hour to attract the attention of the Han soldiers, and the old, weak, sick and disabled of the whole army will carry loess to fill in for me and fill in under Yanmen Pass!" Not long after the soldiers ran, the sound sounded again, and the cavalry behind them suddenly moved, leaving only more than 10,000 people to wait here.

"Yanmen, I'll be the first to take it." A voice of self-talk sounded again, and a fine light erupted in the eyes of Yanmen who looked at this time.

With the order to go to the low, the arrangement of the Xiongnu also began to change, although it still seemed to be a mess of honeycomb, but the casualties slowly became controllable and slowly decreased, Ding Yuan and Gao Shun, who were standing on Guan Yi, both felt that something was wrong.

"The general can't go on like this, so that we will be consumed to death, and this should not be the attack of the Huns, they should want to consume us in turn, I am afraid that if they toss it like this, our army will have no strength at noon tomorrow." Gao Shun braved the rain of arrows shot by the Huns, and after shooting with his head, he shouted at Ding Yuan, who was not far away.....
