The messenger soon came.

It's a Wuhuan man, who looks very young and has a fierce face.

When he saw Zhao Ponu, the fierceness on his face was instantly put away, and he put on a sincere and frightened face, knelt down and kissed Zhao Ponu's boots.

Zhao Ponu took a step back in disgust: "You go to deliver the letter, can you see who replied?" ”

The messenger failed to kiss the nobleman's boots, and was even more frightened: "Back to Wanhu, there are three people in the city who reply to the villain, one is Chen You, the right lieutenant of Shanggu County, and the other two are very young and fresh. ”

Although the Huns did not engage in the art of war and tactics with all the bells and whistles, it did not mean that they would not fight.

The messengers sent out are often eagle archers with good eyesight.

While sending the message, it is also necessary to observe the enemy's situation.

"Are you sure it's Chen You?" Zhao Ponu asked suspiciously.

He was picked up by Zhao Xin for more than a year, and he had been fighting within the Xiongnu before, and if it wasn't for Zhao Xinxin's persecution this time, he would never have led the army south.

In addition, he was born in Yanmen County, so of course it was impossible to recognize the right lieutenant of Shanggu County.

The messenger affirmed: "The villain has gone south with the army several times, and he has seen that Chen You many times, and he will definitely not admit his mistake!" ”

The Wuhuan leader in the tent also flattered: "Wanhu, this kid is the second son of the villain, he used to belong to the Youxian Wang's department, and he is an old opponent of the Han army in Shanggu County." ”

"His eyesight is better than the strongest condor shooter in the tribe, it's impossible to be wrong!"

Zhao Ponu nodded.

As for the Wuhuan leader, in order to show his face in front of him, he actually sent his own son to do this kind of life-threatening mission.

He didn't take it to heart at all.

"One is Chen You, and the other two are Chen You's lieutenants?"

The messenger shook his head and said, "No, standing in the middle is a very thin young man, and the other is a sturdy young man, and it doesn't look like Chen You is the master. ”

"Their armor doesn't look like the county soldiers of Shanggu County, and the villain thinks that it is likely to be the reinforcements sent to them by the court of the Han Dynasty."

Hearing the news, everyone's expressions became a little solemn.

The presence of reinforcements means that the Han Dynasty probably predicted their actions, and this trip south may not be so easy and pleasant.

Zhao Ponu also had a calm face.

But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that there is a trace of joy in his eyes.

Although it was only a flash.

"Ahem! You said that the two soldiers were very young? ”

"Yes, Wanhu."

"This is an opportunity!" Zhao Ponu was serious, "A wolf pack can't have two leaders, and now they have three." The old leader can't suppress the two young alien head wolves, which is a good thing for us! ”

Ada and the others suddenly realized: "Wanhu is right! ”

Although they have been dealing with the Han army for many years and are Zhao Xin's subordinates, they are not really Han people after all, and they have never had in-depth contact with the Han army.

"Let's ...... It's up to you, let your legion try! ”

Zhao Ponu seemed to suddenly relax, and casually ordered a general from a small country in the Western Regions.

"Except for the catapult, you can pick the rest of the equipment and take your legion to storm the city walls! As long as you can attack it, even if you don't break the city once, I will count you as your first credit! ”

For Zhao Ponu's promise, not a single Hun expressed dissatisfaction.

Anyway, the lives of the armies of the subject countries of the Western Regions are not fate, and the promise to them depends on the mood of the Huns.

"Yes."

The general of the small country knew that it was a mortal errand, but he could only respond with a bitter face, and silently returned to the front camp to start the army.

……

On the castle tower.

The lookout shouted: "The enemy has moved!" ”

Tang Qi looked around, and sure enough, he saw a commotion in the Hun camp.

A moment later, an armored infantry of about 2,000 men began to line up, slowly advancing under the call of the officer.

"It's this set again." Chen You pouted, "Using people from the Western Regions as cannon fodder is an old trick." ”

An infantry array of 2,000 people went to attack such a solid level as Juyong Pass.

The cavalry archers just scattered and threw a rain of arrows at the castle tower, and with the range and power of the horse bow, even if they shot at the castle tower, there was not much stamina left.

It's not so much a cover, it's more about using a show of skill to force the foot soldiers forward!

Tang Qi shook his head: "This method is too unsophisticated." ”

He told the enemy and his own people that these 2,000 foot soldiers had come to test the city's defenses, and they didn't want to take it back.

Cannon fodder can't be cannon fodder anymore.

"So, the Huns are stupid." Huo Quzhi said disdainfully, "It's easy to abandon your own people, no wonder the congregations in the Yinshan area of Hetao rebelled and left!" ”

This is talking about Wei Qing's results.

After the Han army defeated the first section of King Zuoxian and drove it away, the countries of the Western Regions to the west of Yinshan and Hetao simply surrendered to the wind.

Not to mention resisting, there was no need for the Han army to send envoys, and the kings of those small countries automatically and spontaneously organized tributary teams to follow the triumphant army to Chang'an!

Although small countries are all falling with the wind, the speed at which the Huns were betrayed was inevitably too fast.

You must know that although the Xiongnu lost two royal courts and their vitality was greatly damaged, they were far from being injured to the point of completely losing control of the Western Regions!

This can be seen from the fact that Zhao Xin, a self-second king, can mobilize tens of thousands of servants in the Western Regions.

But under the shroud of Wei Qing's army, those small countries in the Western Regions almost betrayed the Huns with joy, and they couldn't wait to kneel at Liu Che's feet and weep bitterly!

"Captain Li, what should I do?" Chen You is very conscious of being a deputy, "Do you want to go out of the city to fight?" ”

Li Guang looked at Tang Qi.

Tang Qi looked at the sky: "People should have arrived, don't go out of the city, try the new guy brought by the official." ”

That's right, it's a repeat of the same old trick.

As soon as the words fell, sure enough, a personal soldier came to report that Lei was already leading the convoy into the city.

"I'll take a look." Tang Qi was the first to walk down the tower.

Li Guang and Huo Qubing glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "I (the general) also followed the Great Nong Ling (Brother Tang) to see and learn, and I will hand it over to Captain Chen here!" ”

Leaving a Chen You to cry without tears.

No way, who made him the youngest official and has no background?

As for the phalanx of foot soldiers under the city who slowly advanced in fear, they were ignored by these people in the city.

Kannai.

In the square in front of the armory, Lei was thrown at Tang Qi with a constipated face: "Master, the villain brought the things." ”

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

And Li Guang and Huo Qubing were so shocked by the spectacular scene in front of them that they lost their expressions!

I saw that on the endless carriage of goods, there were countless crossbows and crossbow arrows with strange shapes.

There are 10,000 crossbows, and countless bolts!

"This is ......," Huo Quzhi muttered to himself.

It looks very similar to a repeater made according to the new drawings given by Tang Qi, but it is very different.

Tang Qi smiled and picked up a handful casually: "This is an improved version of the repeating crossbow, which can fire fifty crossbow arrows in a row, which is lighter and more powerful." There are no drawbacks other than the need to use special crossbow arrows. ”

"I call it, Zhuge Repeater Evolution!"
