Chapter 529: Strike First is Strong 1

(Thanks to the book friend "Lewd Little Yellow" for the reward!!) )

After arriving outside the Naturalization City, Suddenly Mu ordered the army to be stationed on the spot for repairs.

Attacking and naturalizing is a long-term thing, and there is no hurry to come for a while, so suddenly Mu ordered the whole army to set up camp.

However, to say that it is encamped is just to simply set up some tents, and there is no fixed and complete encampment standard like the Wei army.

After arranging these things, suddenly Mu asked the Xiyun tribe to take a few ordinary tribes and gather more than 10,000 cavalry to drive to Guihua City.

Although it was a new arrival, it was necessary to make the naturalization feel his presence, so it became necessary to send people to demonstrate first.

Therefore, Zhe Yuda, the commander of the 10,000 cavalry of the Xiyun Division, rushed to Guihua City with 4,000 people from his headquarters and 30,000 other cavalry, and the battle was definitely very large.

And according to the information they knew before, they also knew that the Naturalization City had expanded the cavalry team, so Zheyuda was actually full of vigilance.

The regular cavalry of the Wei State can compete with the cavalry of the Xiongnu headquarters, even if it may be suddenly expanded into an army now, it is also not to be underestimated by the Xiyun Division.

Although the thirty miles were not very far, the Rhinoyun Department traveled at an ordinary speed and walked for half an hour.

This is also for the sake of safety, if the cavalry is traveling at high speed, it will consume too much horsepower.

If an ambush is foreseen suddenly, it will not only be difficult to adjust the formation, but also difficult to support the horsepower.

When the time came to noon, after half a year, the army of the Huns appeared again in Guihua City, and the atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense.

Bows and arrows were set up, and the soldiers of the Naturalized City climbed up the tower one after another, staring at the Hun army in the distance below.

In the same way, Zheyuda in the distance of the city wall also stared at the top of the castle tower.

When he attacked Wei last year, the Xiyun Department followed the Zuo general Hu Ermu to the Great Wall, so he was actually a little strange when he came to the outside of Guihua City.

However, the Nanyu Department who accompanied him this time had besieged Naturalization with the right general Adeye last year, but this time Su Yumu did not let them come first.

"General, this Naturalization City looks like it's going to be more difficult to capture than the Great Wall of the Wei people!" The commander said from the side.

This is true, the Great Wall is too long, and the defense is relatively poor.

"If it is simple to take the naturalization, then the right general will not return in vain years ago!" Zheyuda said in a deep voice.

After saying this nonsense, Zheyuda ordered people to go out of battle and began to insult the city walls, which is also one of the rare traditions of the Huns in battle.

After all, siege is really not good at it, if you can scold people out, and then annihilate the enemy army, it will not be much easier.

The two principals in the city, Wu Xiangyou and Zhang Ju, knew this, so they didn't feel angry, just ordered their subordinates to scold back.

The two of them sat under the naturalized West Gate and discussed the response plan after the battle began.

Defending the city is to be beaten passively, so it is always good to think of more countermeasures, if the Huns found a loophole like last year, and went into the city to burn some grain and grass, then it would really be a crime to die.

"Master Zhang, Childe is leaving, but I have no bottom in my heart!" Wu Xiangyou sighed and said.

Zhang Ju is different from Wu Xiang, he is a lieutenant who was really promoted by virtue of his naturalized military exploits a few years ago, so his temperament is more resolute.

I only heard Zhang Ju reply: "Since Gongzi handed over the Naturalization City to the two of us, we should stick to it to the death, and everything else is not considered!" ”

Immediately, Zhang Ju also said: "I waited for the great grace of my son, and I fought for this life, and I will not hesitate to do it!" ”

Zhang Ju said so, and even more so in his heart. He was originally a person with great ambitions, but unfortunately because he was born in a poor family, he went through a lot of hardships to get mixed up with the position of a captain.

This journey took him nearly ten years, almost the golden age of Zhang Ju.

And just when Zhang Ju thought that his position as a lieutenant was coming to an end, Wei Wuji came to Naturalization City, and Zhang Ju became a lieutenant.

This kind of grace is difficult for Zhang Ju to repay, so he is even more looking forward to the next big battle, so as to repay Wei Wuji with great achievements.

"It is our duty to be taught, to be loyal to our son!" Wu Xiangyou also said solemnly.

And in the Naturalization City, there are many people who have the same mind as Wu Xiang. Wei Wuji promoted many people here, and these people all had a sense of gratitude.

"Let's go, let's also go to the gatehouse to have a look, see what the Huns outside below are, and whether there are any old friends from before!" Zhang Ju sneered.

Years ago, his brothers suffered heavy casualties, and now that the Huns are attacking again, he naturally has to avenge this arrow.

Wu Xiangyou nodded, and then followed Zhang Ju to get up and slowly walked to the city tower.

Seeing the black pressure in the distance, Zhang Ju ordered someone to wind the few bed crossbows.

Seeing this, Wu Xiang was not calm, and immediately asked, "Lord Zhang, who are you?" ”

Zhang Ju said: "Shoot him a few arrows first, and teach those bastards outside a lesson!" ”

Wu Xiangyou wanted to say that this might anger the Huns, but he still held back, saying this would only make everyone in the gatehouse abandon him.

So, just when the Huns were shouting happily outside, they were shot seven or eight people by dozens of arrows from the naturalized city wall.

The people who were shot by the crossbow were all taken two or three meters away, and then died so that they could not die again.

The people in front of the Hun team suddenly retreated, after all, no one wanted to die like this, let alone die so miserably.

"Don't panic, don't mess around!" Zheyuda yelled.

At the same time, he ordered the entire army to retreat three hundred paces, which was already outside the range of the Wei army's bed crossbows.

"The Wei people are hateful!" Zheyuda scolded.

"My lord, what should we do? Why don't you besiege the city immediately? The commander said angrily.

But Zheyuda was obviously not carried away by the anger, and now they only had 10,000 troops, which was not enough to surround the naturalization.

If the Wei army finds a weak point and strikes hard, then the Xiongnu who have suffered heavy losses will lose more than they lose, and this is also a responsibility that Su Ermu cannot bear.

"Today's troop temptation has been completed, we should go back!" Suddenly, Mu said with a dark face.

Although the commanders under them were unwilling, they had to carry out the orders of the Sudden Wood, so they could only return to their own troops.

But at this moment, a scout reported that a large number of Wei troops were really coming this way.

This is talking about going to them, which means that the Wei army is coming to their side.

Fortunately, the Huns' scouts were not too wasteful, otherwise they would have received a report that the Wei army was rushing to kill them, and if they did, they would be in danger.

"How many people came?" Zheyuda asked, if the Wei army exceeded 5,000 people, then he would directly order his troops to retreat with all their might.

And if it is less than 5,000 people, then Zheyuda is not so afraid, there are more than 4,000 people in his department, although the people of the vassal tribe are not good at fighting, but they can also fight with the Wei army, after all, they have more than 10,000 people.

And the scout's answer made Zheyuda even more happy, because the scout's answer was probably less than four thousand.

With 4,000 Wei cavalry, Zheyuda is more sure of a battle, even if his 10,000 people can't defeat the Wei army, then it must not be a problem to escape.

"Okay, the order goes down and immediately sets up the formation, our Xiyun Department is the main force, and the other ten thousand horsemen cooperate closely, and fight to the death with the Wei people who don't know whether they are alive or dead!" Zheyuda is heroic and dry.
