Just when Pang Xuan led his army southward at a rapid pace, a huge siege battle was also going on outside Pingyin City.

Countless short Hun cavalrymen held ladders made of trees that had been temporarily cut down on the mountain, and rushed towards the walls of Pingyin City with great courage while screaming and screaming.

The clothes of these Huns are strange, and many of them are still wearing the armor of the Zhao army and holding the weapons of the Zhao army, which is quite conspicuous and nondescript in the formation of the Huns.

And on the walls of Pingyin City, hundreds of archers of the Zhao Kingdom had already been prepared.

"Shoot!"

Countless arrows poured down from the walls of Pingyin City, knocking down the Huns one after another.

However, due to the rather scattered formation of the Huns, although these densely covered bows and arrows caused damage, the lethality was quite limited.

A moment later, the Huns rushed to the city wall of Pingyin City, and in the shouts of the Huns, more than a dozen ladders leaned against the city, and then the Hun warriors began to climb towards the city wall like ants.

And on the city wall, the soldiers of Zhao State were condescending, and kept shooting at the Huns under the city.

From time to time, there are ladders that are pushed away from the city by the soldiers of Zhao with long spears, but occasionally some brave Hun warriors climb all the way up and engage in fierce battles with the soldiers of Zhao on the city wall.

Amid the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the death toll on both sides is rising sharply.

In the north of Pingyin City, there is a very large-scale, more than 10,000 Hun cavalry phalanx, in the center of the phalanx, is now the leader of the Huns Hugh Li Shan Yu where he is.

This Hughley Shan looked to be about forty years old, with a typical Hun appearance, a pair of eyes full of essence, and a look on his face that looked a little gloomy.

Of course, there is a reason why Hughley is in a bad mood.

"It's been eight days, and I can't even capture a small Pingyin City, it's just a bunch of waste!"

As soon as Hughley Shan Yu's words came out, the faces of the many Hun generals who rode around Hugh Li Shan Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Hughley Shan Yu looked around for a while, and sneered: "What, are you still unconvinced?" You must know that this Pingyin City is only garrisoned by 2,000 soldiers of the Zhao State, and the total number of residents in it is no more than 10,000. But it was such a small city, and it actually stopped my Hun army for eight days! ”

Hughley denounced this alone, and scolded the surrounding Hun generals one by one, all of whom were speechless.

Of course, not everyone listened to Hughly Shan Yu's rebuke, and a Hun general in his thirties, who was about thirty years old, stood on the left of Hugh Li Shan Yu with an obvious look of disbelief.

Hughley Shan Yu obviously noticed the expression of this Xiongnu general, and slowly asked, "What, does Zuo Xian Wang Ru have an opinion?" ”

King Zuo Xian snorted twice, and said to Hugh Li Shan Yu: "The minister doesn't dare. However, in the opinion of the ministers, the reason why they could not capture this Pingyin City was not because the Hun warriors did not work hard enough, but because of the gap in equipment. ”

Hughley snorted and said nonchalantly, "Go on." ”

King Zuo Xian opened his mouth and said: "Shan Yu, these Zhao people are all wearing armor, and the longbow in their hands is at least eight stones, and arrows can easily penetrate our bodies. And our warriors are only wearing leather jackets, and the longbows in their hands are far inferior to those of Zhao Guoren, and even the arrows of the warriors are made of sharpened bones, and the gap is too big. ”

Another Xiongnu general with thick eyebrows and strong eyebrows on the side also said: "Da Danyu, this city is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, why don't we continue to go south and find other target villages." ”

This is the right virtuous king of the Huns.

One of these two virtuous kings is the leader of the Subu clan, and the other is the leader of the Huyan clan, both of whom are the leaders of the big tribes second only to the Sulu clan among the Xiongnu, so they have the confidence to question Shan Yu's decision.

This kind of questioning obviously made Hughley Shan Yu very unhappy, and he sneered when he heard this, and said: "If this Pingyin City can't be taken, do you know what fate my Xiongnu tribe will face?" I won't be able to survive this winter at all! ”

King Zuo Xian said worriedly: "But if the army of Zhao comes to help, what should it be?" I heard that Zhao defeated Qin's million-strong army in Changping a few years ago! ”

Hughley Shan Yu laughed loudly and said, "King Zuoxian, I can't imagine that you have also fallen for the tricks of the Zhao people!" Let me tell you to wait, then the army of Zhao is now fighting with the people of Qin in the Central Plains, where is the time to pay attention to this northern border? ”

"Really?" The left and right Xianwang looked at Hugh Li Shan Yu suspiciously.

Hugh Li Shan Yu said confidently: "This matter is that the king of Yiqu sent someone to tell this Shan Yu, it is absolutely true!" ”

"King Yiqu?" King Zuo Xian was very surprised and said, "Isn't Yiqu already destroyed by the Qin State? I heard that even the two sons born to the old King Yiqu and the Empress Dowager of Qin were killed by that Qin Wangji! ”

Hugh Li Shan Yu said with a smile: "Although Yiqu was destroyed by the Qin State by despicable means, but the Yiqu people are also a member of our nomadic people, how can they be willing to live under the Qin people?" When the Yue clan and Lin Hu are defeated, this single Yu will ride his horse south, and bring these five counties in the north of Zhao and the upper county of Qin, which originally belonged to our nomads, into the bag of the Xiongnu! ”

When Hughley Shan Yu said this, the whole person was impassioned, and his spirit was flying, as if a bright future was just around the corner, and all the Zhao and Qin States could only kneel and tremble at the feet of his Hugh Li Shan Yu......

However, Hughley Shan Yu's self-confidence is also justified, in recent years, the Xiongnu have gradually gained an advantage in the confrontation with the sworn enemy Yueshi, showing their strong side.

In Hugh Li Shan Yu's plan, as long as he grabbed enough grain, grass and slaves on the side of Zhao State, then he could launch a super-large-scale attack on the Yue Clan next year.

The strength of the Xiongnu is completely just around the corner in Hughey's view!

The fierce siege battle continued, and the casualties on both sides continued to increase, but it was clear that the Huns had suffered several times more casualties than the soldiers of the Zhao defenders.

The sun gradually climbed from the east to the center of the sky, and noon came.

At this time, a Hun commander hurriedly rode his horse.

"Shan Yu, twenty miles to the north, I found the army of Zhao State!"

"What?" Hughley's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "This is impossible! How many Zhao troops were there? ”

The commander replied: "I can't see clearly, about twenty or thirty thousand." ”

Due to the long march of the Zhao army, the Hun scouts did not dare to approach to reconnoitre, so there was a miscalculation.

"Twenty or thirty thousand?" Hughley Shan Yu heard the news, his face was cloudy, and he looked a little hesitant.

The Right Xian King on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Shan Yu, it's too late to retreat now, the cavalry of the Zhao people is not much, and they can't catch up with us." ”

This sentence seems to have stimulated this Hughley Shan Yu.

Hughley snorted heavily and said in a deep voice: "The warriors of the Huns never know what defeat and retreat are!" Let the warriors who are besieging the city withdraw first, and today Ben Dan Yu will be here to let Zhao Guoren understand how powerful Ben Shan Yu is! ”
