346. Surprise attack on the Xiongnu royal city
Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly widened: "Wen Yuan, what you said is true?" ”
"Absolutely." Zhang Liao replied in the affirmative. He had known this news for a long time, but the Xiongnu King City was still far away before them, so it was useless to know it. It's different now, although I don't know the specific address, but now the Xiongnu King City in this place is only two days away at most. Of course, Zhang Liao also has selfish intentions, he has long wanted to rescue those captured and Zhou Erlang.
Zhao Yun immediately ordered to search for the surviving Huns, let them be guides, and rushed to the royal city of the Huns with his own and others. The royal city of the Xiongnu is at the foot of Jiluo Mountain, and it is guarded by Liu Bao's uncle Hu Chuquan at this moment. This Hu Chuquan is the younger brother of Liu Bao's father, Yu Fuluo, and has always been angry about Yu Fuluo's passing on to Liu Bao after Yu Fuluo's death. However, he has a powerful tribe in his hands, so Liu Bao does not dare to offend him easily.
This time, Liu Bao deliberately left him at home, in order to prevent him and his tribe from gaining anything, so as to eliminate the prestige of Hu Chuquan. Hu Chuquan also knew Liu Bao's thoughts, but Liu Bao's power was too great, so Hu Chuquan had to swallow his anger and stay in the royal city. For this reason, his tribe was full of complaints, Hu Chuquan was even more sullen, in addition to drinking every day, he was playing with female slaves, and Liu Bao had now died more than thirty female slaves under his crotch.
It is said that Zhao Yun followed the guidance of the guide and led the army all the way to the Xiongnu King City to kill. At this moment, Hu Chuquan is still living a drunken life in the royal city, and he doesn't realize the danger at all. It is also the city of the Xiongnu that is deep in the grassland, and there are many tribes surrounding the outer circle, how can the Han people fight here.
The long-term war between the Xiongnu and the Han people gave them a very strong sense of superiority, and in the eyes of the Huns, I don't want to provoke you is already very face-saving. You don't even dare to hit my house. As a result, everything was as usual in the Xiongnu King City, and there was no trace of tension at all.
In this way, Zhao Yun led the army to rush to the vicinity of Wangcheng in two days. It was already evening at this moment, and Zhao Yun knew that this continuous rush was the most physically exhausting, so he did not immediately order the siege of the city, but asked all the staff to dismount and rest.
Zhang Liao handed over the horse to the guards, walked to Zhao Yun's side and asked, "General Zilong, when will we attack?" ”
Zhao Yun looked at the soldier who was sitting on the ground, and pondered for a moment: "Let's rest first!" Wait until it's ugly before you attack the city. Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Okay, let's divide the work, I will stay for a while, and you can also go and rest for two hours." ”
Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, Wenyuan, you should go and rest first!" You will come back for me in two hours. Zhang Liao stopped arguing when he heard this, nodded and took the guards to rest. When Zhao Yun got off the horse, he changed to another horse, and then went around in a circle. At this time, it was already dark, and except for the faint light flashing in the direction of the royal city, all other places were pitch black. After Zhao Yun inspected it, he dismounted and found a place outside to sit down, time passed little by little, and seeing that there was still an hour to come, Zhang Liao looked for it.
He said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, go and sleep for a while!" I'll be guarding this place. ”
Zhao Yun answered yes and returned to his position and pretended to sleep. At this time, a cold wind blew, Zhang Liao shrank his neck and hurriedly tightened his cloak. Xin said: "I'm afraid it's going to be a difficult night if there is no fire in this weather!" "Although the war horse is surrounded in a circle at this moment, it still can't stop the invasion of the cold wind. One by one, the soldiers huddled together, and they were all about to shrink into a ball.
After another two hours, seeing that it was about to be ugly, Zhao Yun turned over and sat up, he ordered the soldiers to wake up, and then lit some torches, and then everyone got on their horses and went straight to the royal city of the Huns to kill.
It is said that the royal city is much worse than the city in the Central Plains, there are no city walls here at all, only some wooden fences and arrow towers. There are no stone buildings in the city, only a few wooden buildings, and the rest are tents! This time is when the people in the city are sleeping, completely unaware that death has come to the door.
Zhao Yun saw that there was no defense at all in the Xiongnu King City, and he was overjoyed, and said secretly in his heart: "God really help me!" So he went to the gate first.
The sound of horses' hooves woke up the Huns guarding the gate, and he was shocked when he saw the cavalry outside the city! Hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack~Ah! As soon as he shouted, he was shot through his throat by Zhao Yun's arrow.
After shooting, Zhao Yun threw his bow and arrows, and then ran his spear to the city gate! The shot was lit in the middle of the city gate, and only a loud bang was heard. The two gates were blasted open by Zhao Yun's shot. The latch behind the door also carried a huge force on its back, and it really broke into two sections.
The door was opened, and Zhang Li'e University behind Zhao Yun rushed in with a big sword. Zhao Yun took a slight breath and followed in. At this moment, the royal city has been in chaos, and the voice just now, yes, the Huns who are defending the city are all vigilant, and at this time they have already taken their weapons and killed Zhang Liao and others who rushed into the city.
Zhang Liao's big sword flew up and down, killing ten people in an instant, which shocked the Huns defending the city, and they didn't dare to rush forward. At this time, more and more people rushed into the city, and Zhang Liao began to order people to set fire while killing people. The fire was all set on fire, and in an instant, a group of tents and wooden buildings around the room were all ignited.
Zhao Yun said to Zhang Liao at this moment: "Wen Yuan, you will continue to kill!" I'll go and save people first. ”
When Zhang Liao heard this, he replied: "Zilong, go, there is me here!" Zhao Yun nodded and led people to fight horses and went straight to the prisoner of war camp, and after coming here to kill the defenders, Zhao Yun finally saw these prisoners of war.
I saw that these people were in rags, unkempt and yellow-skinned, and the right people looked like they were about to fall apart. Moreover, the people here were all shackled to prevent them from escaping. A group of people was enclosed in a big tent like sheep. There are more than 100 tents like this. There were four or five hundred more people in one tent, and more than two hundred people in the few.
Zhao Yun was furious when he saw this situation, this Huns didn't treat people as human beings at all. To them, the prisoner of war was no different from a brute. Zhao Yun hurriedly ordered people to open the shackles of these people, let them pick up weapons and go to kill the Huns together, and grab cattle and sheep to satisfy their hunger.
The prisoners of war were suddenly saved, and at first they couldn't believe it, and then they burst into cheers! Without Zhao Yun's orders at all, they all joined the fight.
