(Today's Lantern Festival, add another chapter!!) Thank you again to all the book friends who support the genuine edition, it is your support that the author can encourage himself to write until now, thank you!! Once again, I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!! )
On July 13 of the fifteenth year of the Marquis of Wei, since the Xiongnu attacked the city yesterday, no one in the naturalized defenders has been slack.
This is not only related to the safety of naturalization, but also really related to everyone's life, the unlucky eggs who were killed by the Huns yesterday have now become a team of coke.
And Wu Xiangyou, the acting lieutenant who also did not dare to slack off, was training his subordinates in the school field at this time, and after being severely trained by Wei Wuji yesterday, Wu Xiangyou really felt like he was in the end of the world.
So when Zhang Ju was on duty today, he took this opportunity to vigorously train his soldiers, one was to further condense his fighting spirit, and the other was for Wei Wuji to see.
And today, not long after Zhang Ju climbed the tower, he found smoke and dust in the distance again, and at the same time there was a tremor sound from the earth.
Needless to say, this must be the Huns coming again, so Zhang Ju immediately put his soldiers on guard.
Yesterday Wu Xiang had a lesson from the past, and today Zhang Ju is full of spirit and does not give the Huns any chance to take advantage of.
And this time, the Huns didn't play anything false, and directly exposed their ladders generously, and there were two siege vehicles that were rushed out.
This lineup is bigger than yesterday, obviously the Huns are really moving, but Zhang Ju still didn't see the shadow of the Huns' cavalry in it.
After preparing for the battle, the Huns pressed up in the first wave of attacks, and this time they also risked their lives to fight, and directly mobilized another huge team of 30,000 horsemen, nearly 7,000 people.
The pressure on these towers was relatively great, although it was condescending, and it was not so easy for the Wei archers to shoot and kill the charging Hun soldiers.
But relatively speaking, the Wei army still took a big advantage, because in the battle of the Central Plains countries, which besieging side did not have a strong bow and crossbow as a cover, and a thick armor and a big shield as a shield.
But after all, there were many people, and after dropping more than a hundred corpses, their vanguard army advanced to the city of Naturalization, and then the ladder was erected.
At the beginning of the official siege war, I have to say that although these ordinary tribal cavalry are much weaker, the siege of the city is better than the cavalry of the Xiongnu headquarters.
Even if there is a stone falling on the head, there is boiling water to pour it...... They still gritted their teeth and climbed up, sacrificing their lives for the victory over the Wei army.
On the city wall, Zhang Ju's entire lieutenant department had all come up, and although the Hu people were menacing, they were still suppressed.
Wu Xiangyou, who also brought people over from the school field, arranged for the soldiers to wait under the city wall, ready to rush to help at any time.
The Huns could lose twice, three times or even ten times, but the naturalized Wei army could not afford to lose once, and if they lost, they were defeated.
But Zhang Ju's troops still steadily suppressed the Huns, after all, under the strict formation, they still participated in the battle, and the Huns had no chance of winning this attack.
Also knowing this fact, Kulun, who was beside Su Ermu, questioned General Zuo: "General, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to capture and naturalize!" ”
Seeing that Cullen wanted to speak and stopped, he suddenly smiled and said, "You want to say, since you know that small-scale attacks don't work, why do you still want to attack, instead of taking down the naturalization in one go!" ”
Cullen didn't say it, but he didn't agree with the second half of the sentence, because he thought that even if he attacked with all his might, he might not be able to take the naturalization.
Suddenly, Mu said: "A few days ago, I sent all the 10,000 cavalry forward, in order to lure out the Wei cavalry that appeared out of nowhere, and then force it to fight to the death with our army!" ”
Hearing this, Cullen couldn't help but feel guilty, because once he was also sent out as bait, but fortunately there was no accident in the first place.
I heard Huermu continue: "It's a pity that they didn't come out, so I can only send people to attack the city...... On the one hand, it is our duty to attack the city, and on the other hand, the army of Dadan Yu Shuai has secretly rushed to the Great Wall, and our side must create a momentum to paralyze the Wei army of the Great Wall! ”
Now Cullen understands that today's siege is to create movement, after all, the siege should have the appearance of a siege.
And Su Ermu continued: "Another is that the siege of the city can not only consume the troops of the naturalized defenders, but also wait for the opportunity to draw out the cavalry of the Wei army......"
In fact, it is difficult for Kulun to agree with the first half of this sentence, because although the siege of the city is consuming the strength of the Wei army, it is also consuming the strength of the Xiongnu.
Maybe in the eyes of these Huns, those vassal tribes are really like mustards, among them...... Maybe it also includes my Nanyu Department!
Thinking of this, Kulen couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, because the fall of the Rhinoyun Department proved this, and this Zuo General could put all the blame on Zheyuda's head.
It is conceivable that Zheyuda's family will be punished and lose their lives for the Xiongnu...... As a result, they must be punished.
Suddenly, Mu Ke didn't know what his subordinates were thinking, and seeing that the time for today's attack was almost up, he ordered the soldiers around him: "Pass the order to retreat, this Wei cavalry may really leave!" ”
At the same time as suddenly making such a judgment, he had already made a decision in his heart, that is, to officially start the siege and naturalization, of course, there will be no less intermittent attacks in between.
With a sudden order, the Hun soldiers who attacked the naturalization left in a hurry, after all, no one wanted to die in this place.
And the Wei soldiers at the head of the city naturally also breathed a sigh of relief, and the attack of the Huns was not without merit, and they even hit the city wall.
It took a lot of effort for the Wei army to drive these people down.
At this time, the naturalized defenders also officially realized that the good days had come to an end, and the days to come would be full of swords and swords.
At the same time, shortly after the Huns retreated, Wei Wuji in the general's yamen also officially received a military report that Hun cavalry appeared at the Great Wall.
The military report also pointed out that if you want to naturalize the city, you must stick to it and wait for help, and after the Lingbei battalion repels the Xiongnu division, it will immediately rush to the aid of naturalization.
After reading this military report, Wei Wuji sneered at the corner of his mouth, some people are really dying but they don't know it, they really naively think that the main direction of attack of the Xiongnu is naturalization.
And the fake reassuring words in the military report made Wei Wuji's heart chill, since these people knew that they were the main attack direction of the Huns, they should rush to the aid as soon as possible.
But these people said that they would wait for the Huns to be repelled before they came to support them, which simply didn't make sense.
"Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!" Wei Wuji said secretly in his heart.
He knew that this was not what Chen Wanyun meant, and Chen Wanyun couldn't resist the pressure from the court and the family.
…………
Within the Great Wall, the defenders everywhere are relaxed, who doesn't know that the main direction of attack of the Xiongnu is naturalization, and the defenders of Zhongpingguan are naturally the same.
What's more, the scout cavalry has clearly sent back a message, saying that there has been a big battle in Guihua City, and the war has not been extinguished for days.
As for the Xiongnu division found outside the Great Wall, it is said that several generals have made a judgment that these people should have come to prevent the Wei army from leaving the Great Wall to support naturalization.
So the Great Wall garrison was even more at ease, anyway, even if they had to go out to support, it was the cavalry who went out to support, and their foot soldiers only needed to guard the city pass.
But they didn't know that ten miles outside Zhongping Pass, the Xiongnu army had already driven here, and all the Wei army scouts along the way had been cleared.
