The Huns began to cross the river, and the news soon reached the city of Naturalization, but by this time the Naturalized defenders were already mentally prepared.
Tens of thousands of people crossing the river is not simply crossing the river, and the subsequent transportation of materials is a troublesome matter, and this is destined to last for three or four days.
But at this time, on the vast grassland of more than 100 miles between Guihua City and the Heishui River, the scouts of the Huns also rained down on this land.
This also means that after Wei Wuji learned about the movements of Hu Ermu and others, Naturalization City was not only the internal situation, but also under the surveillance of the Huns.
In the general's yamen, a military meeting was held again, this time with the participation of officers of the rank of lieutenant and above.
Officers of all levels gathered, but the situation today was too different from last year, especially the officers in this hall who had become unrecognizable.
When Zhao Yan was the naturalized general, although his subordinates were also full of people, if he wanted to achieve the level of control that Wei Wuji now had over the naturalized army, it was beyond his reach.
Just as Wei Wuji appeared, the generals and lieutenants did a kneeling salute, not a half-kneeling salute to Zhao Yan before.
Moreover, all the officers present were personally raised by Wei Wuji, and their loyalty to him was naturally not comparable to Zhao Yan's original class.
After sitting on the main seat, Wei Wuji raised his hand and said to everyone: "Everyone, the Huns have come with great momentum, and our peaceful days are over!" ”
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wei Wuji stood up and said, "But ......"
Wei Wuji's voice was raised, and in the solemn hall, it was like the sound of war drums, striking everyone's hearts.
"You have to understand one thing, if it's just defense, we're just sitting still!" Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.
"If the Huns are completely surrounded here, then we are here and can only wait here to die!"
Wei Wuji said such things as soon as he came, which made everyone in the hall who was already a little nervous under the strong military pressure of the Huns.
"Childe, what if you don't stick to it and wait for reinforcements?" At this time, Wu Xiang, who was the captain of the infantry army, asked.
At this time, although the army in the city reached the size of more than 16,000 people, the infantry that could be used for garrison was much smaller than at the beginning, as long as there were less than 6,000 people.
Wei Wuji sat down again, and then said: "Of course I took the initiative to attack, you know, this son trains cavalry, but he is not waiting for him to fight!" ”
Wei Wuji's words revealed his main battle intention, and it was also a decision he made after a few days of careful consideration, the cavalry must not stay in the city as a turtle with a shrunken head.
"But Childe, in this way, the garrison strength in the city is even more insufficient, and the subordinates are worried...... "Worried about whether Wu Xiang said it or not, but everyone present knew what he meant.
Wei Wuji didn't explain, but picked up the seal on the long case in front of him and looked at it carefully.
Wu Xiangyou was actually not promoted because of his ability, it was only because he was the first to stand on Wei Wuji's side that he was promoted by Wei Wuji.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yan, who was standing behind Wei Wuji, stood up and explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, the soldiers are treacherous...... No matter how strong the Huns are, we can't show weakness first, but we must be an opponent who can wrestle with them on the same footing! ”
"If they can attack us, why can't we attack them first? As the saying goes, surprise and attack unprepared...... Presumably the Huns didn't think that we would attack them first! Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"But Childe, naturalization is in danger......"
Wu Xiangyou was about to speak, but he heard Wei Wuji put down the seal in his hand with a "snap", and then said in a deep voice: "Don't say much about this matter, it's decided!" ”
"As for the naturalization defense, the strength of two full captains is enough!" Wei Wuji said slowly.
That's right, in Wei Wuji's opinion, with cavalry on the periphery, the pressure on Naturalization City is actually not as great as before, and 6,000 people to defend Naturalization is not very large, but it is actually enough.
"Wu Xiangyou, Zhang Ju ......"
After Wei Wuji ordered the two people, the two new infantry captains both stood up, and then bowed down.
"From today on, the naturalized garrison will be borne by you, don't let Ben down!" Wei Wuji said solemnly.
Wei Wuji's words had the feeling of explaining what was going on, which made Wu Xiangyou and Zhang Ju feel a little bad in their hearts.
But the military order has been issued, and Wu Xiang and the two can only kowtow and say: "I will live up to the trust of my son!" ”
After Zhang Ju stood up, he said with a smile: "With Gongzi in charge, the whole army will definitely be able to beat the Huns!" ”
Hearing this, Wei Wuji smiled and said nothing, and then said in a deep voice: "My son will personally lead 10,000 cavalry and go out of the city to meet the Huns!" ”
Not only Zhang Ju was shocked, but also Hu Hansan and other cronies and generals were also a little at a loss at this time.
Although they knew that they were going out to fight, they didn't expect that Wei Wuji himself would also go out of the city.
"Childe's golden body, how can he risk his life!" Hu Hansan immediately bowed down, and Yan Qing and the others did the same.
And Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian also knelt down at this time, but the two of them knew in their hearts that if the 10,000 cavalry was not personally commanded by Wei Wuji, then they would not be able to coordinate at all.
Wei Wuji said: "Your loyalty, this son naturally knows, but ...... This battle is also the battle of this son, from the beginning of the army to the present, this son has been rushing to the front, without flinching! ”
Looking at the earnest faces below, Wei Wuji said word by word: "It's the same this time!" ”
Seeing that Hu Hansan and the others still didn't get up, Wei Wuji stood up and said, "Get up, and if you want to persuade each other, you will be punished according to military law!" ”
Under Wei Wuji's strict order, Hu Hansan and the others reluctantly stood up, but they also didn't want Wei Wuji to risk his life.
"Okay, let's discuss the specific battle plan, be sure to be foolproof, advance and retreat properly!" Wei Wuji looked down at everyone.
Wei Wuji's will can be disobeyed, so what they can do is to do their part well and make a more elaborate plan.
Discussing such a meticulous plan cannot be handled by Wei Wuji's cadres at his discretion, because specific matters have to be arranged according to specific circumstances, not to mention major military affairs.
Working together was a good thing, but it was also troublesome to reach an agreement, so the meeting lasted almost from noon to sunset.
And after arranging all this, on the night of June 30th, Wei Wuji took 10,000 cavalry and five days' worth of dry food to leave Guihua City by night.
As Wei Wuji said, what he wanted to do was to take the initiative, so what he meant by bringing five days of dry food was to fight a big battle with the Xiongnu forward troops within five days.
And the most difficult problem now is how Wei Wuji should hide with this army of 10,000 people, after all, the scouts of the Huns are not vegetarians.
Knowing that the scouts of the Huns have also become the most important task, of course, it is not operated by Wei Wuji himself, all he has to do is move his mouth.
Two days after Wei Wuji left, the forward troops of the Huns also came within thirty miles of the city of Guihua.
Tens of thousands of cavalry came in a rage, and at this time, the Naturalization City was already in danger, and it was difficult to break the situation.
