Just when the officers and soldiers defending the city in Ganyang City had many guesses about the battle situation on the side of Wanzhou City, no one expected that a big battle was about to come to them.

At noon that day, the soldiers standing at the head of the city were gathering in twos and threes to chat, when they suddenly heard someone screaming loudly: "Hu people! The Hu people are coming, the Hu people are coming! ”

The others immediately looked ahead, and sure enough, they saw an army of Hu people rushing towards this direction.

Looking from afar, I saw a dense area full of Hu people, and it was difficult to estimate how many people came for a while.

Immediately afterward, a shrill siren sounded in the city, the sound of soldiers pounding on the copper cauldron.

Seeing so many Hu people, many recruits were already frightened and trembling all over.

The news of the Hu people's attack soon spread throughout the city, and all the people were so frightened that they hid in their homes and shivered, and did not dare to go out at all.

As for the soldiers in the city, they hurriedly took up their weapons in great panic, and then surged towards the city with weak hands and feet under the orders of the commander.

No wonder these soldiers are so scared, most of them are new recruits, not only have they had little training, but none of them have actually been combated.

The reason why this is the case is because Xie Yuheng transferred most of the elite soldiers in order to fight to the death with the Hu people in Wanzhou, leaving only some new recruits or old and weak soldiers in various places.

Ganyang's side is better, after all, it is one of the gateway cities, and there are about 30,000 soldiers who can really fight, and the other 60,000 are all new soldiers.

Originally, with these more than 90,000 defenders, if both sides were Great Wei troops, even if there were about two or three times as many enemies attacking the city, they would be able to hold it firmly.

But the opponent is the Hu people, the Hu people who are rampant in the world.

If the Hu people were so easy to deal with, the two large territories in the southwest and south would not have been easily taken by the Hu people, let alone forced into the current situation.

There are rumors that the Hu people like to eat human flesh raw, which further deepens the horror of the Hu people.

After the hurried commander of Ganyang made Mu Chengyin see the Hu people's army clearly at the head of the city, he couldn't help but tremble subconsciously, and then his whole body was cold.

Just a rough calculation, there are as many as 120,000 or 30,000 of these Hu people, and judging from the fierce military appearance, all of them are experienced elite veterans.

On the other hand, on their side, most of them are recruits who have not been in battle, how can this battle be fought?

Once the city of Ganyang was lost, the Hu people could invade Xinjing in a big way, and the distance was even closer than Wanzhou.

It can be seen that the Hu people on the side of Wanzhou City are only feints, and they don't really want to fight there.

Taking advantage of the fact that most of the elite soldiers were dragged in Wanzhou, attacking Ganyang, which was relatively weak, was the real goal of the Hu people.

This move is really ruthless.

Is this kind of clever tactic really come up with by the Hu people themselves?

But the matter has come to this, if you don't fight, you have to fight, and you can't really surrender to the Hu people Kaicheng.

Mu Chengyin is the commander of Ganyang, a local member of Zhengsanpin, and his family is all in Xinjing.

If he really descended to the Hu people, then his Mu family would really be raided and exterminated.

Therefore, even if he died in battle, he could not surrender to the Hu people.

Now the only way is to desperately defend the city while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Only by doing so can there be a glimmer of life.

After thinking clearly, Mu Chengyin immediately sent a number of messengers to ride fast horses from other city gates to report the news.

Especially on the side of Wanzhou City, Mu Chengyin sent three messengers to stagger and run, lest there be any loss on the road.

Now most of the elite soldiers are in Wanzhou, so whether the reinforcements from there can arrive in time is the key to this big war.

At the same time as sending the messenger, Mu Chengyin began to actively prepare for war.

He not only used all the soldiers he could use, but also summoned more than 30,000 young men from the people in the city as a force to assist the soldiers in defending the city.

Just when Mu Chengyin and his subordinates were desperately preparing for battle, the Hu people who came from afar began to set up camp unhurriedly, looking like they were ready to fight slowly.

Seeing that the Hu people did not start attacking the city immediately, Mu Chengyin was somewhat relieved, which meant that they had at least half a day and a night to ventilate and report the news.

As for whether the Hu people would attack at night, Mu Chengyin was not too worried.

Because in the case of unclear vision at night, it has a greater impact on the Hu people who are good at archery.

Especially when the Hu people came from such a long distance, they always had to rest well before they could fight.

In other words, the real big war will start tomorrow.

In order to prepare for this big battle, Mu Chengyin ordered the whole army to cook in advance, except for the soldiers in charge of the night vigil, the rest of the people should rest as soon as they finished eating, so as to recuperate and prepare for the battle.

Of course, everyone should sleep with their clothes and weapons by their side, so that they can fight together so that they don't have to worry when the enemy attacks.

That night, many soldiers lay in bed and dragged on until a long time before they could sleep, especially those recruits who had just joined the army, and they couldn't sleep.

The shadow of death looms over almost everyone, and in such a situation, who can sleep peacefully.

In the middle of the night, a ghost came to the kitchen.

That person was none other than Ruan Dazhong, who claimed to be the one who claimed to be the county guard of Lincang.

In the barracks, it goes without saying that the warehouses for storing materials and weapons are naturally well guarded.

Even places like the kitchen must be guarded to avoid being poisoned, and it is said that this rule was set when Wei Taizu raised his army.

However, in the more than 200 years since Wei Liguo, there has never been such a thing as someone poisoning the kitchen, so this rule has slowly become a formality.

Although the army still adheres to this rule, it is only necessary to send a small soldier to sit in front of the kitchen at night to keep watch over it.

At this time, it was already the end of the day, and the little soldier in charge of the guard had already fallen asleep on his chair, snoring loudly.

Ruan Dazhong quietly climbed in through the window, then touched the side of the water tank in the moonlight, and then sprinkled a large bag of gray-white powder one by one into several large water tanks filled with water.

When these powders enter the water, the water becomes somewhat cloudy. But because there is too much water in the tank, it really can't be seen if you don't look carefully.

After doing all this, Ruan Dazhong quietly left the window and returned to his room.

Until he left, the little soldier who was guarding the kitchen door was still asleep, completely unaware of what had happened outside.

……………………

Among the Wei army, there is no such good thing as three meals a day.

The average soldier can only eat two meals, morning and evening.

However, officers with 100 households or more can eat three meals a day, which is one of the differences between officers and soldiers.

The reason why soldiers eat less than officers is, of course, to save military rations.

Breakfast, also known as morning food, usually begins at the hour of the hour. However, due to the sudden arrival of the Hu people, this meal time has to be changed.

Otherwise, once the Hu people start fighting in advance, where will the soldiers have time to eat.

Therefore, Mu Chengyin, who was the commander of Ganyang, deliberately changed the time of the morning meal from Chenshi to Maoshi, so that the soldiers could eat well in advance to deal with the siege of the Hu people at any time.

The next morning, a large group of men in charge of cooking were quicker than usual, and everyone was very nervous and busy.

It is not an easy task to feed tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, the Hu people will attack the city at any time, and there can be no delay, almost everyone is doing their own thing as quickly as possible.

One of the soldiers in charge of the fight noticed that the water coming up from the tank seemed to be a little muddy, not as clear as usual, and he couldn't help but be a little confused.

Could it be that something dirty has fallen into the water?

Just as he wanted to inform the steward of the matter, he was scolded by another group leader: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and do something?"

If you can't make breakfast at the end of the day, all of us will be punished, and then be careful that I whip you. ”

The little soldier who was scolded didn't dare to do anything more, and quickly carried the bucket away.

At this time, no one thought that such an inconspicuous little thing would cause many consequences.

As soon as breakfast was ready, the soldiers, who had been called up early in the morning, began to eat, and each had only a short time to eat.

No one will deliberately notify you of such a thing as eating in the army, and all of them will automatically and consciously gather around to eat, and after a while, there will be no more.

Therefore, no one noticed that Ruan Dazhong and his subordinates did not come to eat.

After a quick breakfast, all the soldiers were put on alert.

Especially the soldiers standing at the head of the city subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, and everyone was very nervous.

At this time, the Hu people finally took action, and hundreds of thousands of Hu people, under the command of the eldest prince Arobu, who personally led the army, divided into left, center, and right armies poured over, leaving no reserves at all.

This posture not only frightened the already extremely nervous soldiers, but even the commander Mu Chengyin and his subordinate officials were also frightened.

Could it be that the Hu people want to launch a general attack at the beginning?

When the Hu army came to the bottom of the tower, it stopped outside the range of the bow and crossbow and did not make any further moves.

This time, Mu Chengyin and the others were even more confused, and they didn't know what Hu Ren wanted to do.

As time passed little by little, and soon half an hour passed, and Hu Ren still didn't take any action, just stood far away.

Just when Mu Chengyin and the others were still speculating about Hu Ren's intentions, a change suddenly happened.

One of the soldiers in the group suddenly sat down with his stomach clutched, and his face was very pained.

"What are you doing, hurry up, a few adults are still there." The soldier's colleague hastened to pull him up.

"My stomach hurts, ah......" The soldier couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"You...... Yes! Before his colleague could finish speaking, he suddenly bent over and cried out against his stomach.

"What's wrong with you?" The others saw it and hurried to ask them.

"My stomach hurts...... It hurts......" The two men were already blue in pain.

Not long after, several more soldiers felt sick to their stomachs, as if a knife was cutting their intestines, and they sat down on the ground.

As if in a chain reaction, more and more soldiers were experiencing the same situation, all of whom felt intense abdominal pain.

Seeing so many soldiers clutching their stomachs and screaming in pain, Mu Chengyin and his subordinate officials suddenly changed their faces.

"Chen Fang, go and find out what's going on. See if anyone is poisoned. Mu Chengyin then said to his men.

His men immediately ran down.

Mu Chengyin looked behind him and saw that more than half of the soldiers standing in the square had abdominal pain, and many of them even simply threw down their weapons and covered their stomachs and screamed in pain.

Seeing this scene, Mu Chengyin's whole face turned pale, and his subordinate officials were already frightened.

Little did he know that something more terrible was happening.

Ruan Dazhong was quietly approaching the city gate with more than 200 of his subordinate soldiers, each holding the waist knife that was about to be unsheathed.

Different from the usual approachable expression, although Ruan Dazhong at this time was expressionless, his eyes were full of murderous aura.

They were all waiting, waiting for the moment when the Hu people attacked the city.

At this moment, the eldest prince Arobu, who had been paying attention to the reactions of the soldiers at the head of the city, looked at the Wei soldiers who were constantly falling, his face showed ecstasy, and then said to Mr. Qiu beside him with a look of admiration: "Mr. is really clever, with Mr. to help, why worry about big things." ”

Mr. Qiu, who was covering his face, said calmly: "Your Highness has won the award." Now that Ganyang is still in the hands of Wei Jun, please ask His Highness to start as soon as possible and settle the situation as soon as possible. ”

"Well, that's what the gentleman said. The whole army obeys my orders and attacks the city! ”

With the order of the eldest prince Arobu, the horn of the attack sounded.

The Hu generals and soldiers, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, rushed towards the lifeless Ganyang City like a swarm of locusts.

Hearing the overwhelming rushing sound behind him, Mu Chengyin turned around stiffly like a puppet, and his face showed a miserable smile that was more ugly than crying.

In the eighth year of He'an, Ganyang was lost, and the officers and soldiers of the whole city were slaughtered, and none of them were spared.
