Chapter 77: Bloody Storm (I)
The Xiongnu were defeated again, retreating hundreds of kilometers, and seeing that the Han army had not arrived, they were stationed, counted the casualties, and lost another five or six thousand people. King Qianqian Huyan was annoyed, and what disturbed him the most was Pu Nu's injury. Pu Nu has an arrow in his heart, and there is no arrow feather, so he is more dead and less alive. But what is strange is that after the bleeding stopped, it was like a day after day, although he was still sick in bed, he was full of energy. Summoning the shaman, the shaman jumped around Shan Yu for a while, closed his eyes and foamed at the mouth: "Kunlun God blesses, Shan Yu will not die in great calamity, and he will be able to defeat Han!" King Huyan came to Lang Zhong again, Lang Zhong looked back and forth, looked puzzled, shook his head again and again when he took the pulse, and shouted: "Strange, strange, strange!" ”
"Of the patients I have seen, there are not 10,000, but 8,000, and there has never been a single person like Shan Yu!"
"The heart of ordinary people grows on the left, but the natural vision alone grows on the right! Otherwise, with such a serious injury, how could Shan Yu survive until now? ”
"Shan Yu, the current military spirit is unstable, the generals are uncertain, please also ask Shan Yu to endure the pain and patrol around, temporarily stabilize the army's heart, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
King Punu put on his armor and staggered across his horse, barely holding on to his sword. King Huyan also got on his horse and clung to Punu, for fear that he would fall off his horse. The two of them took their own soldiers and surrounded the barracks, as usual, and paraded in a circle. The Hun soldiers saw Shan Yu crossing the horse and carrying a knife, full of energy, where did it look like an arrow? They were all shocked, and the military spirit was stable.
Geng Gong once again knocked away the Huns, Fan Qiang said: "Big brother, single in the arrow, life and death are unknown, this defeat and retreat, must be unwilling, our army is small, why not withdraw for the time being, wait to move to the rescue, and then fight with the Huns." All the generals thought so, and they all advised Geng Gong to withdraw from the army.
On this day, Li dared to defend the city, and suddenly heard the dust flying in the distance, and hurriedly told Geng Gong. Geng Gong went to the city to take a look and said, "It must be the Huns coming!" Pass my general order, no matter how the Huns provoke, stick to it and don't come out! After a while, the black pressed a group of people, gathered under the city of Shule, and it was really the Huns! After Punu's arrow wound healed, he wanted to capture Shule immediately, so that he could collect the army and go back as soon as possible. At that moment, the army marched forward and arrived at the city of Shule. Shule City is halfway up the mountain, King Huyan looked up for a long time, and said: "Shan Yu, Shule City has high walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is in the middle of the waist, which is not conducive to horse warfare. ”
The Xiongnu were not afraid of the Han army, retreated several miles, and set up camp. Pu Nu Shan Yu summoned the king of Huyan to discuss the military, and said: "Our army has always been bad at attacking cities, but now that Shule City is so strong, it seems that as you said, it is not possible to storm it." King Huyan groaned: "Shan Yu is right! Our army has always been filling in the earth, but the city of Shule is halfway up the mountain, and it is not possible to fill the earth. I saw the Han army attacking the city, there is a tool, called a ladder, it is better to draw a scoop according to the gourd, and build dozens of ladders for attacking the city. Subsequently, King Huyan thought while drawing, scribbling and changing, and actually drew the appearance of a cloud ladder, Pu Nu Shan Yu was overjoyed, and said: "Since there is this kind of siege tool, why didn't you say it earlier?" Hmph, as long as you go to the city, those barbarians will die in front of you! ”
