Half an hour later, the Huns, who had taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into the city, were completely annihilated. The rescued people were arranged to be interrogated and investigated in designated places. There is no need to think about it, there must still be Huns mixed in, and they will even join forces with some people to hide the truth.

Hehe!

What is Jin Yiwei doing, it is too difficult to escape the eyes of Jin Yiwei! It's harder than climbing to the sky. No matter how you conceal it, as the saying goes, when the geese leave a voice, there will always be flaws and loopholes, and it is impossible to wipe all traces clean.

A few hours later, dozens of hidden Huns were extracted from the common people. Some civilians were threatened to help the Huns conceal and not report it, and even helped to make a lie. For this kind of people, Ye Tong really had no way to punish the crime, and finally whipped a few whips to show punishment.

A sudden fierce battle ended, successfully rescued thousands of unarmed people, annihilated more than 10,000 Huns, Qin soldiers casualties reached more than 1,000, including serious injuries and deaths of more than 60 people, basically to rescue the people, was mixed into the city of the Huns sneak attack to death.

After returning to the city, Ye Tong said: "Bai Lixin, let the reporter of "Focus" magazine report on the rescue of the people, and tell the reporter why the soldiers of the empire still rescued the people knowing that they would suffer heavy losses, it is because of the duty of the soldiers of the empire. ”

"Lord, don't worry! These things are left to the lowly office. ”

Ye Tong was worried that the Huns would make a fuss in this regard after today's events. Once the people are used as human shields again, it will not be so easy to rescue next time. If you don't get it right, Yancheng will be attacked by the other party.

"Bailixin, look at it, why do the Huns know that this general cherishes the people, there should not be many people who know about this. Where did the Huns learn about it? ”

"My lord, it's not hard to figure it out. The key is not whether the Huns know that the lord cherishes the hearts of the people and is the one who helps the Huns come up with ideas. With the barbaric and ignorant nation of the Huns, they should not have come up with such a plan at once, it should be the Yanhuang people who were kidnapped to the grassland by the Huns, surrendered to the Huns, and became the brains, lackeys, and traitors of the Huns. ”

Ye Tong thought about it, he saved the people on the Qin Pass, scolded Xiang Yu, and used the people as meat shields. It seems that the Xiongnu on the grassland have paid attention to every move in the Central Plains and are collecting intelligence on the Central Plains. It's not a good sign, you have to be prepared.

Zhang Han said: "My lord, are you worried that the Huns will use the people to coerce us again?" ”

Hehe!

"Yes! This possibility is very high, I really don't know what to do then? ”

Zhang Han said: "My lord, the only solution is to fight the Huns head-on outside the city. Just tell the Huns to release the people, and we will go outside the city to fight a decisive battle, in that case, the Huns should agree. ”

Alas!

"That's all there is to it! Originally, I wanted to use the city to consume more strength and morale of the Huns, so that the recruits could exercise more, but it seems that the Huns did not allow it! ”

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry!" The recruit has become an army and has transformed into a qualified soldier. At this time, there was no problem with the Huns in a head-on battle. ”

What Zhang Han said, Ye Tong knew it in his heart. It seems that the plan does not change quickly, and no matter how good the plan is, it has to be improvised. Forget it, let's fight a decisive battle! Who's afraid of whom!

The internal guard came in and reported: "General, General Peng Yue sent information with Xinying, saying that another 50,000 Huns were killed by iron cavalry to Yancheng. ”

Shame!

The addition of 50,000 Xiongnu iron cavalry means that the number of Xiongnu iron cavalry outside the city has reached 200,000. Even if 20,000 were wiped out in a few days, the remaining Xiongnu iron cavalry would still be as high as 180,000. Ye Tong felt a lot of pressure, 70,000 against 180,000, duel in the field, the situation was grim!

"Tell Peng Yue that there is no need to worry about the battle on the frontal battlefield, the decisive battle is just around the corner. Let Peng Yue not expose the target and wait for the last moment. ”

"Yes!"

Huns? Interesting, there is actually an increase in troops, it should not be as simple as an increase in troops, maybe there are also disputes within the Xiongnu, and they all want to get more benefits in Yancheng.

Bai Lixin said: "My lord, it seems that the Huns are looking at the salt factory in Yancheng, which makes many Hun tribes rush to kill it, and they all want to get a share of the benefits." ”

Ye Tong knew in his heart that the so-called wealth was tempting. Salt was too scarce for the Huns in the steppe. Once you control a salt factory, you don't have to be restricted by the Central Plains Yanhuang people, and you don't have to spend a lot of money on procurement. The temptation of the salt factory was so great that there would be internal contention among the Huns.

Hehe!

"Don't worry too much, isn't it just 50,000 more ants? A sheep is also slaughtered, and a group of sheep is also slaughtered, but it takes a little effort, what are you afraid of? ”

Ye Tong can only cheer up, not discourage. At times like these, morale is everything. Generals, in particular, must have a high fighting spirit and high fighting spirit.

Zhang Han, Zhou Bo, Chen Fei and other generals all nodded in agreement with Ye Tong's words, and they were not afraid of the Huns' increase in troops, but inspired their fighting spirit.

Ye Tong was right, at this time, in the Hun camp, there was a quarrel. The Huns saw that Ye Tong really loved the people of Yanhuang and decided to continue to carry out the human shield scheme. took advantage of Ye Tong's psychology of cherishing the people, and forced Ye Tong to lead his soldiers and horses out of the city to fight a decisive battle.

The problem is that Yancheng is far away from the Central Plains, and there are no Yanhuang people! If you want to send troops to the Central Plains to plunder, it is too late, and the Huns can't afford to wait, the longer the time, the greater the losses. In addition, the supply of the 200,000-strong army was difficult, and the men and horses needed a lot of grain and grass.

The only quickest way is to take out those craftsmen and women in the army as human shields. The Huns were also reluctant in their hearts, the women were all beautiful and beautiful, and they came with the army to serve the nobles such as the leader and the captain. The craftsman has excellent skills and is of great use!

Women, for the Huns, they never regarded Yanhuang women as people, but only as a tool for venting. The craftsman will have a pain in his flesh, once the craftsman dies with the army, it is not easy to plunder! Especially craftsmen with good craftsmanship, it is difficult to find them in the Central Plains.

The reason for the quarrel among the Huns was the surrender of craftsmen as meat shields, which some tribes were unwilling to use. The problem is that if you don't want to, you have to let the Huns' own soldiers rush forward, and make fearless casualties, and your heart hurts even more.

After a lot of quarrels, the Huns still agreed and decided to take out the craftsmen with the army as meat shields and force Ye Tong in the city to go out of the city for a decisive battle. The Huns believed that Ye Tong would not watch the people of Yanhuang die in front of their eyes. However, Ye Tong will also not continue to take rescue, which the Huns know in their hearts.

The next day, Ye Tong arrived at the city wall and saw that the Huns had already set up an attack formation, ready to attack at any time. The problem is that Ye Tong saw tens of thousands of Yanhuang people from the telescope, and his heart squeaked, worried about what to come, what to be afraid of.

Ye Tong's face was gloomy, he didn't say a word, his heart was full of anger, and his body exuded monstrous anger. The murderous eyes did not shy away, looking directly at the Hun crowd.

Bai Lixin next to him was puzzled and asked, "Lord, what's wrong?" ”

Alas!

"Afraid of something, the Huns have kidnapped tens of thousands of Yanhuang people. It's just that General Ben is puzzled, where did the Huns hijack so many people, but there are no Yanhuang people nearby! ”

After hearing this, Bai Lixin thought for a while, and immediately said: "Lord, you have forgotten that there are a large number of Yanhuang craftsmen in the Huns army. Every time the Xiongnu went south, they plundered the Yanhuang craftsmen.

Those Yanhuang people who were plundered away were forced to go out with the army every time, on the one hand, they helped the Huns take care of the horses, and on the other hand, they built tools and built barracks. ”

Ye Tong was surprised!

"Bailixin, weren't those craftsmen treasured by the Huns? How can you be willing to take it out as a human shield, not to mention, these human shields don't play a big role. ”

"Lord, the Huns should want to persecute us, and they won't really let the craftsmen be human shields."

Hehe!

Interesting? Play psychological warfare with General Ben, and General Ben will have a good time with the Huns to see who loses in the end and even takes off his pants.

From the telescope, Ye Tong saw that the Huns escorted tens of thousands of Yanhuang people to a stop 500 meters in front of the city gate, and no longer continued to walk, and a Hun holding a white cloth slowly walked towards the city gate.

Ye Tong knew that he was the negotiator of the Huns, and asked his archers not to shoot him. Ye Tong also wanted to know what the Huns had in mind, knowing that the other side could make the right choice.

The Huns, who were holding strips of white cloth in their hands, said loudly: "General Ye Tong in the city, please come out and speak." ”

Ye Tongzao stood on the city wall and said in a loud voice: "Who are you, what do you have to say to General Ben?" ”

"I am a representative of the Huns and am responsible for negotiating with the generals."

Hehe!

"Negotiation is to be qualified, what qualifications do you have to negotiate, go back and let a Hun Tartar with status to negotiate! You're not qualified yet. ”

Ye Tong had already found out that the person who came was a fake Huns, otherwise how could Yan Huang speak so well. To put it bluntly, it is a traitor of Yan and Huang, and a traitor of Yan and Huang who betrays the country and the nation.

Yan Huang had no choice but to return and call a real Hun to come to the city wall together. The Hun could speak Yanhuang, but not fluently, but he could understand the meaning.

"The general on the city wall, if you don't want to see tens of thousands of Yanhuang people die in front of you, please lead your troops and horses out of the city for a decisive battle, otherwise, these tens of thousands of Yanhuang people will once again serve as human shields."

Ye Tong definitely couldn't agree to it, it wasn't for the Huns to threaten wantonly.

Hehe!

"Hun Tartars, why should General Ben listen to your arrangement, and want the Yanhuang people who betrayed the Great Qin Empire to threaten General Ben, dream! I really thought that General Ben was a fool, so he would attack as soon as he wanted to fight, and General Ben made this city a place for the Hun Tartars. ”

Yes!

"That...... That, General, didn't you say that you cherish the people of Yanhuang? The tens of thousands of Yanhuang people did not surrender, but were just kidnapped. ”

Hehe!

"Listen to the Hun Tartars, if you want this general to lead the troops and horses out of the city for a decisive battle, it is not impossible to consider, as long as you agree to the two small conditions of the general, the general will lead the troops and horses out of the city tomorrow for a decisive battle, otherwise you can follow what you want."

"General, please state the conditions."

Hehe!

"General Ben's conditions are very simple, one is to immediately release the tens of thousands of Yanhuang people and let the people enter Yancheng; The second is to hand over the Yan Huang traitor who helped the Huns come up with ideas. As for these two small conditions, there is only one incense time to consider, and the general will not talk about it anymore. ”

The Huns hesitated, and finally asked: "General, if you release the people and hand over the people, what will you do if you don't lead your troops and horses out of the city to fight tomorrow?" ”
