Chapter 1219: Longing Everyone Will Have It
Hu Chuquan was leading a few of his subordinates, and immediately looked at Linjin City at a high place outside the city, frowning. Even if it has been attacked for a few days, the city of Linjin is covered with blood and corpses everywhere, but the city is still strong, which makes Hu Chuquan very angry.
Although the Huns are indeed not very good at attacking fortifications, it is only compared with the field combat ability of the Huns, and if it is an ordinary town fortress, it can still be attacked.
Originally, Hu Chuquan also thought that Linjin City was easy to attack.
As long as it is on the battle array, how much is also known, this city is also divided into several kinds, if it is built by the mountains and rivers, even if it is smaller, it is difficult to capture, and the more on the flat ground, there is no danger to rely on, the larger the city, the easier it is to attack, because the larger the city, it means that the more city gates, and there are more points of defense, if you are a little careless, it is the end of the city breaking.
However, Lin Jincheng has repeatedly challenged Hu Chuquan's bottom line of patience.
The four thousand sons under his command, if they are fighting in battle, even if the enemy is overwhelming, they are all roaring and rushing forward, there may not be much ambiguity, but in the face of such a Linjin City that does not even have an urn city, after a few days of continuous attack, even the original heroic and brave sons and daughters of their own children could not help but have a trace of decadence and fear on their faces.
Behind the hillside where Huchu Spring is located, there are hundreds of tenants of the Zheng family, who are building siege equipment day and night, but the ones that have been made before have been burned under the city, and the stout trees around have already been cut down, and they have to drag some rough logs back from a distance, so the progress of the rushing shield car is actually slow, and it can only be made to make do with some small siege equipment such as cloud ladder standing shields.
Autumn trees, most of them are dry, although they will be lighter, but they are extremely not fire-resistant, and if they are slightly contaminated with flames, they will be considered waste, even if they are pasted with some mud, that is, they will be delayed a little, and they will not be able to resist the oil. After a lot of hard work, and then quickly became a burning torch under the city, this situation not only made these Zheng tenant craftsmen feel frustrated, even the Xiongnu couldn't help but curse angrily, if it weren't for Hu Chuquan's repeated emphasis that these Han craftsmen could not be killed at will, I am afraid that someone would have pulled out a knife to kill people to vent their anger.
Even so, the situation of these tenants and craftsmen of the Zheng family is still bad, whips and fists and feet are commonplace, and from time to time there are extra gifts of morning and evening snacks and supper, and some are beaten to the point that their heads are bleeding, and they still have to work hard in a trembling manner.
Zuo Fu Bi Gu Duhou looked at Linjin City, then looked back at the place where the attack equipment was built, shook his head and said: "Respected Right Virtuous King, it can't go on like this, this city fortress in front of you doesn't have enough equipment, it's not easy to beat it down!" It's better to call that Han man again, and find some more Han soldiers to come over, even if it is to drive some Han people, otherwise our sons and daughters will not be able to consume like this after all. ”
One person spoke, and the leaders of the surrounding Hun generals would respond one after another, and in the past two days, they also knew that Linjin City was powerful, and no one dared to brag about what big things they had, and they didn't want to order their own tribesmen to go to this city to die.
"And we don't have enough arrows! Now the arrows in our hands are divided into one point for each son, that is, ten or twenty, which is not of much use at all! ”
"Dry material, dry material is gone. Although our horses didn't run, it took a lot of horsepower to drag these trees back and forth these times, and if there was no dry material to replenish them, these horses would lose weight......"
"King Youxian, our sons originally said that they came to this fat place to gallop and plunder, but they were not sent to this city in vain, a broken city, why do you have to attack here, there are large areas of small villages and forts around, I see that they are all fat and oily! Anyway, if you can fight, you can take it, why do you have to listen to that Han man's words! ”
"That's it, we are experts in war, and that Han man knows a fart!"
"The sons and daughters have suffered a lot of losses, even if they capture the city, what is the use? If we can't beat here, we will go to sweep away Chang'an, Guanzhong, how can it be better than doing it here! Besides, even if we leave, the Han people will still be chasing us in the wild? Wouldn't it be better if that were the case? ”
Hu Chuquan tapped his palms with a horsewhip, listened with a gloomy face, and said nothing, he really didn't expect that Lin Jincheng would resist so tenaciously.
Isn't the general of Zhengxi, Fei Qian, dead?
Why is the military spirit still so strict, and there is no expected disintegration at all?
Although Hu Chuquan did not notify Yu Fuluo as soon as he went south, Hu Chuquan believed that if Yu Fuluo learned the news of the death of the general Fei Qian, he would definitely think about how to obtain greater and more benefits, at least get Yinshan first......
This has nothing to do with the so-called loyalty or anything, from another point of view, if it can fall into your own hands, it is better than falling into the pockets of others, right?
And the piece of land in Pingyang in the north is a good piece of fat and ointment land, even if it is Yu Fuluo's, Huchuquan does not fight, but Guanzhong, a piece of land that has just been won by Zhengxi, how can he share some profits by himself, right?
And in this way, from the south to the north, the people of the Immortal Heaven can regain a large area of survival and development, even if they don't report it first, Yu Fuluo can't say anything.
What's more, Hu Chuquan felt that he had also inherited the bloodline of the great Maudun, and when he saw such a wonderful fighter, how could he wait in vain and let it go?
Now, though, something seems wrong......
Or is that the damn Han guy surnamed Zheng is lying?
But what's the good of that guy surnamed Zheng telling a lie?
Hu Chuquan squinted, looked at the Zheng tenants and craftsmen in the back, pondered for a moment, and then pressed down his suspicion about the Zheng family, after all, in the past few days, whether it was the population or the equipment, the Zheng family had provided a lot.
After going south this time and contacting the Zheng clan in Guanzhong, Zheng Gan also informed Hu Chuquan in detail about the virtual and real situation of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong who knew about the expedition to the west, although Zheng Gan was not good at leading troops, but he also knew some basic common sense, at least the number of soldiers should not be wrong.
There are only 3,000 people in Linjin City, and 1,000 of them are auxiliary soldiers, and it should have been said that Hu Chuquan should be about the same as Diaoyin and Sucheng to take Linjin, which is a matter of nine out of ten, but he didn't expect to face such an embarrassing situation.
Hearing the discussion of the generals on the side, he somewhat retreated, Hu Chuquan breathed heavily, but after all, he couldn't hold back, and said angrily: "If Linjin can't be attacked, can other cities be able to be attacked?" Or are we going to go over the mountains and back to Gaonu? If we don't take Linjin, we will have no way back at any time! No matter how many things you get in the pass, you have to throw them all away! Hard, you are all willing to work hard in vain?! ”
After speaking, Hu Chuquan angrily threw the horsewhip to the ground, staring left and right at the leaders and generals beside him, and everyone did not dare to look at each other, and lowered their heads one after another.
At the moment, Hu Chuquan was angry, not for anything else, but because these people were all brave men that he had always been proud of, just like the warriors under his command like Mao Dun back then, who could complete the grand cause of conquering the world together, but in front of a small Linjin City, he showed a fear of difficulties, how could he not make Hu Chuquan resentful in his heart?
These leaders and generals have some relationship with Hu Chuquan, either worshipping or marrying, and Hu Chuquan can be said to be both prosperous and lossy, and when they see Hu Chuquan's face change color, they are somewhat uneasy.
When he was a little embarrassed, a Hun soldier stepped forward to report that Zheng Gan was coming.
Hu Chuquan snorted coldly and said, "It's just right!" ”
Seeing that Hu Chuquan's attention shifted to Zheng Gan's body, the surrounding leaders and generals secretly exhaled and moved their necks and shoulders, which were a little stiff.
Zheng Gan arrived quickly, and saw Hu Chuquan sitting on horseback, with his hands folded, neither greeting nor looking here, as if he didn't see it, just staring at Linjin City in the distance. Several leaders and generals around him also had calm faces, each of them was owed a few hundred taels of gold, and there was an indescribable weird and strange atmosphere around them.
Zheng Gan's smile remained unchanged, as if he hadn't seen anything, and said with a laugh: "Right Virtuous King! What a happy event! Yang Gong has sent a letter! Speaking of the current military Tongguan, it will be there in a few days! I heard that the right sage king has Kuang Fu Sheji's move, which is very appreciated! And there is a word, the son of tomorrow will be played, and he will be rewarded according to his merits! ”
Hu Chuquan's eyebrows twitched twice in an instant, and then as if he had just seen Zheng Gan, he laughed a few times and said, "Zheng Gong is here?" Why didn't you send someone to Ha ...... first?"
Zheng Gan laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" Such a blessing in heaven, even if it is a little tiring, it should be deserved! ”
Hu Chuquan's smile couldn't help but add a hint of embarrassment, and then he covered it up in a blink of an eye, pointed to Linjin City and said, "Zheng Gong came just right!" Didn't Zheng Gong say anything before, there was an ambush in Linjin City, why did my sons and daughters fight to the death for so many days, but I didn't see the people who were ambushed by Zheng Gong, could it be that I couldn't do it? ”
Hu Chuquan originally just used this matter to plug Zheng Gan's mouth, and also pointed out that Zheng Gan also did something bad, but he never thought that Zheng Gan looked up to the sky and laughed twice, brushed his long beard without hurry, and said: "A certain is also here for this matter!" Now that the time and place are really favorable, people are on our side, even if there are some stubborn people, who block the car with their mantis arms, and try in vain to block our dignified teachers, isn't it ridiculous? ”
"Don't worry. There is news in Linjin City, and at the third watch tonight, the east gate will be taken! Zheng Gan smiled and continued, looking confident.
Hu Chuquan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked, "Is this true?!" ”
Zheng Gan said with some pride: "Of course! ”
In fact, before today, Zheng Gan was also panicked, on the one hand, there was no news of the people sent to Hongnong, and on the other hand, the people who had been ambushed in the city in advance were silent, which naturally made Zheng Gan uneasy.
But it seems that the heavens are favored, good things come in pairs, just after Zheng Gan received Yang Biao's reply, he also received the news delivered in Linjin City, saying that everything was ready, just wait for the third watch tonight, if the information is received, it will be outside the West City Gate, after nightfall, light three bonfires like pins......
Maybe it was because the people in the ambush in Linjin City didn't find a suitable opportunity all along, or the soldiers in the city were heavily guarded, but no matter what, now they were almost at the door, and Zheng Gan naturally came to Hu Chuquan to explain the matter.
In fact, after the death of the Southern Xiongnu in Qiangqu, the Southern Xiongnu's subordinates are not better than day by day, even if Yu Fuluo has now established a foothold in Yinshan, in the eyes of Hu Chuquan, it is still very unstable.
Hu Chuquan felt that being too close to the general of Zhengxi Fei Qian might not be a good thing for the Southern Xiongnu, and even if he wanted to leave Zhengxi and start a new business in the future, he would probably be difficult. Moreover, even if he has a good relationship with General Fei Qian, it is impossible to enter the core of power in the high-level discussion of General Fei Qian.
Therefore, Hu Chuquan has been trying to persuade Yu Fuluo to draw a clear relationship with Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, but because the previous Zhengxi was indeed huge, this matter has been dragged on without much progress.
This time, Hu Chuquan led the troops south, on the one hand, it was also for the future of the Southern Xiongnu, and on the other hand, it was not necessarily necessary to say goodbye to Yu Fuluo and show who was the most suitable leader of the Southern Xiongnu at the moment.
At present, when the city of Linjin was blocked, Zheng Gan actually brought good news, and Hu Chuquan was naturally ecstatic at the moment, and he no longer held any shelves, and discussed with Zheng Gan his arrangement tonight, looking like I am good, hello, everyone, and good.
Zheng Gan looked at Hu Chuquan, who had always been a little unruly, so deferential, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said with a smile: "In Linjin City, it is also a good thing that the soldiers of the expedition to the west are so stubborn, which means that this will be the loyal people of the expedition to the west, if we completely kill it, we can reap the effect of killing chickens and monkeys!" At that time, if you break through Tongguan and join forces with Yang Gong, the rest of the counties in Guanzhong will be able to spread down! ”
"The Right Virtuous King can be credited to Sheji, and under the pleasement of the Son of Heaven, it is also very possible to add the Right Virtuous King as Shan Yu!" In tonight's battle, it is natural to rely on Hu Chuquan, so Zheng Gan also picked some good words and continued, "At that time, if King Youxian has any wishes, he will naturally support him a lot...... Ahh......h
Hu Chuquan laughed, quite a little bit of the depression that had been swept away for days, and suddenly felt happy, and shouted: "Someone! The order went down, immediately rectified and rested, the first shift gathered, ignited at the west gate, the third watch broke the city, and tonight it was set to take Linjin! ”
