The next day, the Huns quickly completed wading across the river.

From the perspective of the Xinxi Liang army, the other side saw no less than 3,000 cavalry, and its momentum completely overshadowed all kinds of infantry with similar numbers and peers.

Those infantry have been playing tricks, and the winter days in the central and southern parts of Shanxi in later generations are not as often as as far north as they are at minus ten degrees, but they are already quite terrifying for the people of this era.

This is also the reason why warlords in the north are less likely to fight in the winter. Because there is not enough winter clothing and fuel, we must be prepared to reduce the number of employees by 40%, who can afford this kind of consumption?

The Xinxi Liang army wore uniform winter clothes, roasted charcoals, and eagerly looked at the Hun army formation in the distance.

Go to humble Tong Yuan and hug his fist, "Lord, please let me lead the army to attack!" Although there were five or six thousand of them, Fang had just crossed the river, and he could take advantage of his unstable foothold to expel them back. ”

Tong Yuan pursed his lips, savored the cold carefully, and said, "It's so cold this day, even if there are some sheepskin jackets, most of them are wet, let them blow the northwest wind." ”

He changed the topic and asked, "Listening to the introduction of the two Han soldiers who surrendered to Cheng, the vanguard of the other party is the King of the Right Valley and the King of the Left and Right Dulu, how is their strength?" ”

Go to Bei and replied, "The right valley Li King can rank fourth among the old kings of the old royal court, although his strength is a certain gap from the left and right Xian kings, but it is definitely ahead of the back of the gradual general king, Shuofang king, Dulu king and others. ”

"The left and right Dulu Kings are the same existence as the class in the grassland, and the ability to graze is not bad, but if you fight, you can only assist from the side."

Tong Yuan nodded and said, "So just looking at the vanguard of the other party, only the Right Valley Liwang has the strength to attack." However, he will definitely wait for the arrival of the army behind. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Hao Zhao and said, "Bodao, it's time for you to perform in the next few days, how are you preparing now?" ”

The tall and mighty Hao Zhao hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, lord." The whole staff of our battalion has practiced many times, and when the time comes, we will give a big gift to the enemy troops, and I will ensure that they will not be able to bear it! ”

Tong Yuan said, "Okay! You don't have to save on materials and equipment, although this is contrary to the prudent strategy of defending the city, but our army has this strength, so let them see who is the lord of the state. ”

Hao Zhao said excitedly: "No! The last general will definitely make the enemy remember the strength of the lord and our army! ”

Tong Yuan asked Geng Qinghe again: "That centurion still hasn't compromised?" ”

"Yes, he doesn't say anything, he doesn't eat or drink, plus he has injuries, it is estimated that he will live until tomorrow at most."

"Well, in that case, let him go back, let him see the armaments and supplies of our army before he goes back, and open his eyes. Of course, don't let him know the number of our army and Hao Bodao's big killing weapons. ”

"Ah, that's ......" went to humble for a moment of surprise.

Geng Qing had a clear understanding with Tong Yuan, understood his intentions, and replied, "Don't worry, my lord, make sure that he can see what he should see, and he won't see anything that he shouldn't see." ”

Under the rising sun, thousands of Hun soldiers and Han soldiers who had been guarding for most of the night ushered in a Hun with broken hands and vain footsteps.

In the next five days, the vanguard of the other side was arranging camps, expanding pontoon bridges, and arranging more than 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard every day.

It wasn't until the arrival of the 50,000 main forces of the Xiongnu that they relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief from their worries for the time being.

In the meeting of kings that night, except for those who stayed in Hetao and other places, the rest of the kings met until dawn the next day.

King Youxian asked, "Are you sure what you see is real grain and grass?" ”

The centurion was sluggish, and he had been questioned no less than ten times, but no matter how much it was repeated, he had to answer it obediently.

"I'm sure," he said. I saw a lot of food, certainly enough for 5,000 people to eat until summer, in addition to thousands of pounds of jerky and pickles, a spring with plenty of water, and more than 100,000 arrows. ”

"You're lying!" The king of Zuo Gu on the side rebuked angrily. "You just said that there are 800 iron shields, 500 armor, and 3,000 Ming Di!"

The centurion fell to his knees weakly and replied, "Yes, all of them. I'm just tired of saying it, and I haven't had time to say it again. ”

The king of Zuo Dulu was furious and roared, "What are you! If you are tired to death, you have to reply with good words first! Then he drew his whip and tried to beat the centurion.

King Zuo Xian stopped, "Enough! ”

He was already old and made a preliminary conclusion, he analyzed that Tong Yuan was showing his strength and making them retreat.

He recalled that Geng Qing arrived at Lishi and Zuo Guocheng on behalf of Tong Yuan two years ago, and felt that there was no fundamental contradiction between the two sides, why did he support Hu Chuquan's junior to become Shan Yu?

In fact, whether it is Hu Chuquan or Yu Fuluo is alone, it is not unacceptable. But the strange thing is that they did not throw themselves to the old kings, but completely attached themselves to the Han people, which is the reason why they are completely unacceptable.

"Uncle Zuo Wang! Uncle Zuo Wang! ”

The king of Zuo Gu Li on the side saw King Zuo Xian sitting there pondering, and the kings were still watching, but they couldn't let him doze off and fall asleep.

"Ah...... Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any analysis, just say it. ”

Although the right Dulu King was young and humble, he took the lead and said, "Although they are well-equipped, they are far inferior to our strength. I think it's still the old way, the slave soldiers go up first, consume the opponent's stamina and arrows, and then our main force goes down with a bang. ”

King Zuogu couldn't listen anymore and said, "You are too young and inexperienced!" ”

The kings listened carefully to his analysis, after all, the king of Zuogu Li was the third in the ranking of the old kings, with 8,000 elite soldiers and horses, and his words were much more weighty than the right Dulu king with 3,000 soldiers.

He paused for a moment and looked around, and then said, "The other party is using a trick, he deliberately let you see that those weapons are trying to deter our army, and then take the opportunity to wait for reinforcements to arrive." ”

"Come to think of it, he showed us that the fortress was well equipped, well fed, and had a well-held water source. But there's one thing he hasn't shown us! ”

The kings listened attentively to the analysis of King Zuo Guli, and King Zuo Xian, who was in the center, had some relieved expressions, while King Right Xian had a slightly fierce look in his eyes.

King Zuo Gu said with a slight sense of mystery: "He didn't show us his troops!" ”

"That's right!"

"To deter, nothing is more important than troops."

"This big liar!"

The kings suddenly woke up to the fact that this Tong Yuan showed off his strength in various ways, but he hid his troops. This shows that he is deceiving, he has limited soldiers and horses in the city, and he is simply afraid of the army attacking the city!

The king of the left deer jumped up from the stool excitedly, and said to himself, "No wonder, no wonder!" ”
