Chapter 4: Suspicion is Thick

After a night's rest, the army took advantage of the early morning and night to rush all the way, and finally arrived in the territory of Izumo, and Izumo Castle was in sight!

Ding Yuan and the others are full of spring breeze, and they are determined to win this battle!

When the army was twenty miles away from Izumo City, it was encamped, and when the battle ahead began, the army would deal a fatal blow to the Huns!

The generals in the big tent surrounded the attack and defense map, and each pointed out the country and talked eloquently, not taking the 100,000 Hun army in their eyes.

Lu Xiaoshu put on a light armor, a bronze helmet on his head, a long sword at his waist, and a halberd in his hand, standing behind Ding Yuan. Looking at the various offensive and defensive fortifications, Lu Xiaoshu's eyes wrinkled into a big question mark!

"What are these piles of, it's better to rush up and him than to see this, that's fun!" Lu Xiaoshu thought to himself.

While pondering, the sound of an order came from outside the tent, and everyone's expressions tightened. Lu Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that the war had finally started?

It was a familiar face who came in, it was the scout team that was besieged by the wolves that day, Shi Changma was Wu! But seeing his panicked expression, he hurriedly hugged his fists before saluting: "Report to the general, Izumo City is broken, and the Lord of the Assassin Shi has broken through and has withdrawn to Shuofang County!" ”

Ding Yuan was shocked and hurriedly asked about the situation of our army.

Ma is Wu Dao: "My front army has been interspersed for twenty miles and has not found any trace of the Huns!" Ding Yuan was full of suspicion.

Ma is Wu said: "When our rear army arrived at Izumo City, we found that the city gate was wide open, the city gate was empty, and no trace of the Hun army was found!" General Gao did not dare to trespass, and rested outside the city, waiting for the general's instructions. ”

Ding Yuan was at a loss for a while, and the generals were also confused, could the Hun army disappear out of thin air?

"Where are the two generals, Zang Ba and Hou Cheng?" Ding Yuan asked again.

"General Zang and General Hou have not found any trace of the Huns, and they are still exploring in all directions!"

The generals were panicked for a while, and this sudden situation was a little bad no matter how you looked at it! Everyone thought to themselves that this Izumo Castle was well defended and had plenty of food and grass, how could it be broken overnight? Could it be that the Huns are really gods who can't go down to earth?

At this time, another guard came to report: "The herald from Izumo last night killed two guards and fled!" ”

Everyone felt that the situation was not good, Ding Yuan pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "It seems that our army has fallen into the suspicious tactics of the Huns, and now we can only wait for the first out of Cloud City, and then make plans!" ”

Yan Song said with shame on his face: "There is a mistake in the loose offering, and it is worthy of the love of the adult!" After saying that, he fell to his knees.

Ding Yuan supported him with both hands and said in a harmonious voice: "Sir, don't blame yourself, the Huns are sinister and cunning, and there are often strange things in the use of soldiers." What's more, our army was unscathed, and the victory or defeat is still unknown! ”

Yan Song got up slowly, and said: "It's just that the general should think twice about entering the city, Izumo Sky City is only afraid of fraud!" ”

Ding Yuan said: "It doesn't matter, the Huns are only strong with cavalry, as long as tens of thousands of our army enter the city, the Hun cavalry will be useless!" ”

Then he ordered Lu Xiaoshu to lead the scout team into the city to investigate, if there is an enemy situation, Gao Shun's 20,000 troops will support at any time, so that Zhang Liao's front army and Zang Ba Hou Cheng's left and right armies converge and withdraw, and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters immediately set off to send troops out of Cloud City.

Lu Xiaoshu received the task with a smile on his face, and immediately ordered all the people and horses, galloping all the way to Izumo City in a blink of an eye.

I saw that the gate of Izumo City was wide open, and the city tower was really empty. Outside the city, the Gaoshun army lined up in a defensive formation and waited! Lu Xiaoshu told Taishou Ding Yuan's order that if there was no abnormality, the army could enter the city safely with the sound of arrows. If there is any abnormality, we can also support!

Lu Xiaoshu and his entourage entered from the city gate, but when they saw that the city was empty, there were not even a single people! Everywhere you go, there's no sound, it's like a dead city!

Lu Xiaoshu was disappointed, he thought that there would be a fierce battle when he came in, and it was best to fill the streets of the city wall with enemy soldiers, and let himself be killed, who knew that a punch hit the cotton, and it was in vain!

After walking around the city for most of the time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ma is Wu asked for the approval of his boss Lu Xiaoshu, and then sent out an arrow.

The army entered the city in an orderly manner, and nothing unusual happened. Ding Yuan met the generals in the Izumo Taishou Mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Ding Yuan said: "Now the Xiongnu army is nowhere to be found, the grain and grass in the city have been looted, and even the people in the city are gone. What are your best plans for the current situation? ”

Zhang Liao said: "The plan now is to find the location of the Hun army first, and order people to go to the clouds to allocate grain and grass, otherwise the Hun army will come to besiege the city again, and our army will be destroyed!" ”

Ding Yuan asked, "How many days of food and grass do our army have?" ”

Yan Song replied: "Five days at most!" ”

All the generals take a breath of cold air!

Ding Yuan said: "If our army returns to Shiyun immediately, will the grain and grass be enough?" ”

Yan Song replied: "It's enough, but the Hun army is out of nowhere, and if we set up an ambush on the way, our army may be difficult to defeat the 100,000 cavalry of the Huns!" ”

Just in a dilemma, the scout Shi Changma is Wu Fei rushed in, and said eagerly: "My lord, Yunzhong City will come to report quickly, and the Xiongnu Right Sage King Zamuhe took advantage of the void in the clouds and led 50,000 troops to capture Yunzhong City!" ”

Ding Yuan sat paralyzed on the ground! This time, I wanted to break the Huns, but now stealing chickens and rice is not a loss, and the base camp is taken away, just like drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle! Ding Yuan squirted a mouthful of blood and shouted: "Hun dog thief, I am inseparable from you!" ”

Zhang Song calmed his expression slightly, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the only way to do this now is to send brave people to Shuofang for help, and ask Lord Assassin Shi to send more soldiers, horses, grain and grass!" ”

Ding Yuan's eyes were red, and he said sharply: "Lu Bu listens to the order!" ”

Lu Xiaoshu is waiting for him!

"Order Lu Bu to be the captain of Fenwu, lead 5,000 cavalry to Shuofang for help, and be sure to raise food and grass!"

Lu Xiaoshu received the general's order, ordered 5,000 men and horses, and reprimanded Hou Ma is Wu as the deputy general, and went all the way to Shuofang!

Ding Yuan looked at Lu Xiaoshu from the city tower, his eyes were confused, and he muttered, "Do you think this son can succeed?" Left and right were silent.

It is said that Lu Xiaoshu and others galloped all the way, and in less than half a day, they actually arrived in Shuofang, and when they went further, they saw that the people on the road were constantly fleeing.

Lu Xiaoshu ordered someone to catch and ask, only to find out that Shuofang City had already been breached last night! The people of the city were driven out of the city, and it was just when the heavenly soldiers outside the city came to help, so they took advantage of the chaos to escape!

It turned out that as early as when Izumo was besieged, the Xiongnu divided their troops into three roads in Qiangqu, besieged Izumo with an army of 100,000 all the way, and ordered the left sage king Hu Chuquan to lead 50,000 troops to attack Shuofang, and ordered the right sage king Zamuhe to lead 50,000 troops to run in the clouds!

The Xiongnu gathered 200,000 troops this time, since the division of the Xiongnu, this should be the largest military operation, it can be said that the nest is pouring out!

With Izumo as bait, the cities in the rear mobilized troops to help, and then attacked the void with real combat! It can be described as insidious and vicious!

You must know that Shuo Fang Taishou was slow to move, and as soon as Fang left the city, he was blocked by Zuo Xian Wang Hu Chuquan, who came quickly, and he was killed! And Ding Yuan's army escaped a catastrophe because of a big battle with Lu Xiaoshu's wolves, missing the route pre-calculated by the Huns!

Now that Shuofang City has fallen, Zhang Ning was intercepted by the Right Xian King, who was the first to arrive, and Shan Yuqiang Canal, who was chasing and killing, was intercepted in the rear, which is really difficult to fly!

Lu Xiaoshu thought to himself: "Now it's impossible to go to Shuofang for help, why don't you rob the Huns' grain and grass, and by the way, support Zhang Ning?" ”

Lu Xiaoshu made up his mind to raise his halberd forward, and galloped towards Shuofang City, and the five thousand cavalry were like thunder, following behind him!

And they were facing an army of 150,000 Huns!
