When he woke up, Xiao Yi found that he had been promoted again, because Mu Shun, the chief general of Yanmen Pass, had run away, and he thought that this timid guy would last two more days, but he didn't expect that Mu Shun sneaked out of the city gate with a few personal soldiers that night, and even abandoned a few concubines in the private house.

The dignified general of a city, even without seeing the shadow of the enemy, ran to find reinforcements, this kind of strange thing is also very rare in the history of hundreds of years of war in the Han Dynasty, the main general ran away and ran away, after all, it is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death, but according to the Han system, when the main general dies or cannot be a director for some reason, the deputy general will automatically fill the position, that is to say, from now on all the big and small affairs of Yanmen Pass will be decided by Xiao Yi alone!

"Da! Dada! ...... "Xiao Yi transferred all the Xuanjia troops to the city this time, he was ready to implement military management, Yanmen Pass has been in chaos, I heard that the main generals have run away, the officials and people in the city suddenly exploded the nest, as if the sky is going to fall, the streets and alleys are full of people who are ready to flee, the man carries the more valuable belongings of the family on his shoulder, the woman holds the child in one hand, and the poultry that is reluctant to be discarded in the other, crying and rushing to the city gate, except for some old people who are really inconvenient to move, it can be said that the city has been dispatched, Even some of the soldiers defending the city threw down their weapons, rolled on the ground, and then grabbed a handful of mud and wiped it on their faces, taking the opportunity to sneak into the fleeing crowd.

"Close the city gates, if there are those who dare to flee out of the city without permission, kill!" Xiao Yi gave an order, and his cavalry immediately closed the city gate, and under the threat of the bright saber, the flow of people was finally stopped, but they were still there to make noise, asking to open the door and let them escape, the adults screamed, the children cried, and the situation became a mess.

"The soldiers and people in the city listen, this general is the commander of the Xuanjia Army - Xiao Yi, and now he is acting as the guard general of Yanmen, and it is the duty of our Han people to stick to the Han family's city, from now on, the army and the people are one, and those who dare to flee without permission will be killed!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, and a group of wolf-like soldiers immediately grabbed a few deserters from the crowd, and fell to the ground without saying a word.

People fled because they were afraid of death, and now death is just around the corner, the crowd retreated in horror, killing people is a good way to stop chaos at any time, provided that you can control the scale, otherwise once you backlash, it will be the end of no bones; But Xiao Yi is not afraid, fighting, isn't it just a murderous business!

"Please lead us to protect the city! The small people are willing to help the adults defend the city...... "Several old people suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Yi's horse and shouted, and then the crowd fell down like a wave, no one was willing to abandon their homeland, and there was no soldier who was born to be a deserter, as the so-called 'soldiers follow the grass and follow the wind', people panicked because the main general Mu Shun fled, everyone had no backbone, and now Xiao Yi stood up and told everyone with the head of the bloody forest that the people who were going to defend the city to the death, and the people who found the backbone again suddenly burst out of enthusiasm to protect their homeland!

"Okay, wait for the general's order, all the soldiers will return to their own team, guard the city, the young and strong men in the city will all go to the city to help defend, and the rest of the people will return to their own homes, they are not allowed to go out at will, and the streets will be under martial law, and this will swear here, live and die with Yanmen Pass, and live and die together!" With a sword on the back of his hand, Xiao Yi proved his determination to protect the city with his own blood this time!

"Your Excellency! …… Swear to live and die with Yanmen! The crowd erupted into an earth-shattering shout, as long as the officials are not afraid of death, then what are they, the common people, afraid of!

In the lobby of the main general's mansion, Xiao Yi was fascinated by a map of the city defense of Yanmen, now he is the master here, Mu Shun is not bad, when he left, he left the city guard seal to him, with the seal letter, Xiao Yi can more justifiably command all the military and political affairs of Yanmen; The Xuanjia Army has taken over all the key departments, so let's see how Xiao Yi arranges his troops!

3,000 Xuanjia troops, 7,000 ordinary soldiers, plus tens of thousands of ordinary people, against the 60,000 elite cavalry of the Huns, are indeed at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, but in addition to competing in strength, the war also has to compete in the command art of the leaders of both sides, this is the military!

Yanmen is the most dangerous in the world, the peaks on both sides are unattainable, only a road in the middle can communicate the north and south, Yanmen Pass has two city gates in the north and south, the south gate connects the interior of the Central Plains, there will be no enemy there, so as long as you hold a city wall in the north, the old lady guards the blessing of publicity, at the beginning used a large number of people's and material resources, the city defense of Yanmen is solid, the city wall of several zhang high is all rammed with boulders and loess, indestructible, there are dense arrow towers on it, the fortifications are extremely perfect, the grain storage in the city, Weapons and arrows are abundant, water sources are not a problem, and although there is a shortage of troops, as long as the command is appropriate, it is not impossible to hold the city.

However, what Xiao Yi wants to do is not as simple as defending the city, he wants to kill and injure a large number of Hun soldiers who come to attack, and wash the blood with blood.

Da Niu, Ma Liu and other generals stood silently behind them, they had full confidence in Xiao Yi, which was brought by a hundred victories, especially when they saw Xiao Yi touching his chin for a long time, and suddenly laughed wildly and began to touch his nose, they knew that the Huns were going to bleed......

"Ma Liu listens to orders! You lead a team of cavalry out of the north gate, and within two days, move all the residents of the villages north of Yanmen Pass to the city, fill in all the wells, tear down all the houses, and finally set me a big fire, and burn the crops and grasslands there to a flat land, so that no grass grows, understand? ”

"No! ......" Ma Liu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and then said with a sad face: "Most of the cultivated land nearby is gathered in the north of the city, and now the crops are not yet ripe, and a fire has burned, I am afraid that they will encounter the people's obstruction, which is their lifeblood......

The people live on food! Yanmen Pass is located on the border next to the prairie, the land here is fertile, arable and pastureable, so many people are watering and farming in spring, and go to the grassland in summer and autumn to graze like the Huns, the small life is not bad, and now to forcibly relocate them, and destroy their homes, they will inevitably encounter fierce resistance, so Ma Liu will have this question!

"That grain can't eat in our mouths, rather than leaving it to the Huns, it is better to burn it clean with a fire, at least it can fertilize the land; As for those who dare to resist the migration, they will all be punished as the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and there will be no forgiveness for killing! Xiao Yi's voice was extremely cold, as a general who coordinated the overall situation, all he considered was the victory or defeat of the war, as for the life and death of some people, it was just a little bargaining chip on the balance of war.

Looking at Ma Liu's flushed face, Xiao Yi knew that he was still a little unbearable in his heart, this was Ma Liu's character, not ruthless enough.

With a long sigh, Xiao Yi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know that you can't bear to use a knife like the common people, but now you are fighting, everything is to survive, and when you drive out the Huns, you can compensate those people!" Let you do this, and a few fewer people will die! ”

"No!" Ma Liu didn't dare to say anything more, turned around and led a team of people to carry out the military order, he knew that what Xiao Yi said was right, 'The poisonous snake eats the hand, the strong man breaks the wrist,' the soldier needs this kind of decisiveness!

"Big bull! You lead people to strengthen the city defense in the north, prepare a lot of arrows, rolling logs, thunder stones, if necessary, you can demolish the houses in the city, start from this lord's mansion, and those who dare to obstruct will also be killed! ”

"No!" Da Niu replied much more happily, he never thought much about Xiao Yi's order, as long as he carried it out.

"Xiaobin, you are responsible for patrolling the city with my sword, there are escapees, kill! …… If there is a disturbance, kill! …… If there are those who do not listen to orders, kill! Untie the blood wave slashing sword on his waist, Xiao Yi handed it over directly, he used heavy codes in wartime, he had to let Yanmen Pass absolutely obey his command alone, and he didn't care about killing a few more people for this!

"No!" Taking Xiao Yi's saber with both hands, Xiao Bin felt that the responsibility was extremely heavy, and the same trust was also extremely important, as far as he knew, Xiao Yi had never handed over his saber to someone else, he was the first!

Death for a confidant! For the sake of this trust, Xiaobin decided to kill him at all costs, whether it was an enemy or his own people!

Looking at the much empty lobby, Xiao Yi smiled slightly, and called the remaining Cao Fatzi, Fat Liu and other people who were in charge of logistics and grain together, and then he wanted to prepare a big meal for the Huns......
