The scouts sent by Zhao Hao quickly figured out what was going on, and the last wave of troops sent by Ran Fei to report the news was intercepted by the Xiongnu. After Zhao Hao got the news. A large force was immediately dispatched to carry out a rescue operation. Shan Yu didn't want to be fled by the opponent again, mobilized heavy troops to besiege Wang Chengbu, Wangcheng was defeated, and two thousand remnants fled to Daixian, but the Huns soon discovered them, and the four thousand cavalry soon followed, Wang Chengju defended the city, only defended without fighting, and the Huns' cavalry had no engineering equipment, so they could only besiege the city and want to trap him.

Night had fallen, and Wang Cheng's soldiers were exhausted after several hours of fighting, but no one dared to rest, because outside the city walls were the enemy.

Wang Cheng was cautious by nature, knowing that if he was defeated, he could only defend, but if the soldiers could not get rest, the next day the Huns would attack, how to resist, he could only arrange for some people to rest first, and some people would take turns to see the situation.

The Huns outside the city walls seemed to be very energetic, and they tossed outside the city for a long time without resting. Since the Xiongnu had already sacked Dai County, Wang Cheng was guarding an empty city. No weapons, no food. With the exception of a few wells, the whole army had only three days' dry rations.

Ran Fei's original purpose was to let Wang Cheng go out to deliver a letter to Lian Po, and then attack the Huns on both sides, but Ran Fei didn't expect it, Shan Yu was afraid that Zhao Hao would move, so he also arranged heavy troops in the east, and Wang Cheng was unlucky and happened to meet the Huns' troops.

The next day, when it was dawn, a horn sounded, and Wang Cheng was awakened from his dream, which was the attack horn of the Huns. The Huns, ready to attack the city.

Wang Cheng quickly put on his armor and rushed to the city wall with his subordinates, only to see an endless stream of Hun soldiers coming to the city wall step by step with a ladder.

Wang Cheng ordered to "blow the rallying horn and prepare the whole army to resist the Xiongnu." ”

Wang Chengbu's unique horn sounded, and the 2,000 soldiers quickly prepared to complete it, waiting solemnly.

The Xiongnu's siege troops soon came within the range of bows and arrows, and their men were about to release arrows, but Wang Cheng stopped them, "Wait, listen to my orders." ”

The Huns saw that the other party did not release arrows, thinking that the other party's bows and arrows were gone after last night's battle, and rushed to the city wall with all their strength, Wang Cheng showed a smile on his face when he saw this, and when the Huns were about to reach the range of their bows and arrows, Wang Cheng shouted "Let go of the arrows!" ”

The Huns, who only cared about the impact, saw the rain of arrows in the sky at this moment, and realized that they had been fooled, but it was too late. Wang Cheng released three waves of arrows in a row, and at this moment, under the city tower was a large wail of Hun soldiers.

The Xiongnu stopped the attack and sent shield troops to recover the bodies of wounded and dead soldiers, and the defending troops were about to release arrows again, but Wang Cheng stopped them, "Save arrows." ”

The Huns didn't expect Wang Cheng to have such a scheming and didn't dare to attack at will, and the soldiers in the city were relieved, but Wang Cheng knew that the next days would be even more difficult. Because the other party will definitely not give up, and after this battle, the other party will be more cautious and will use various schemes.

At this moment, Zhao Hao led 10,000 horses outside the encirclement of the Huns, and the more than 100,000 troops of the Huns surrounded Dai County, and Zhao Hao only had dry eyes.

On this day, the Huns did not attack again, Wang Cheng thought that these guys would definitely not give up, and even arranged many sentry posts at night, and sure enough, as he expected, the Huns touched up in the middle of the night, fortunately, Wang Cheng had already prepared, and the Huns who touched it did not please any of them, and they were beaten up and fled.

Shan Yu was furious, and the next day he personally led the army to attack in batches, trying to drag Wang Cheng to death with wheel tactics, and the Xiongnu's bows and arrows shot far and accurately, and Wang Cheng's soldiers soon suffered more than half of the casualties.

Seeing that Wang Chengcheng couldn't hold it, Zhao Hao was anxious and led an army of 20,000 to attack the Xiongnu from the north and south, but Shan Yu was very smart, and Zhao Hao's northern troops were blocked in the middle of the road, and it was inevitable that the troops not only did not advance a bit, but were almost surrounded and annihilated.

Wang Cheng's fate seems to be doomed, even he thinks so.

Seeing the soldiers fall one by one, the hope in Wang Cheng's eyes became more and more dim, and gradually turned into despair, Wang Cheng didn't know what to do, the knife in his hand had been cut off, the armor on his body was also tattered, and his face was full of blood, there were enemies, his own people, and his own.

Wang Cheng gasped, half-knelt on the city wall, looked at the black and oppressive Hun army, and then looked at the blue sky, and roared: "Yuan Ran, two big brothers, I'm afraid that Wang Cheng will never be able to follow you again in the future!" ”

Unexpectedly, there was another change, a large number of men and horses emerged in the north, and the cavalry took the lead to attack the camp of the Huns, and the Huns were caught off guard and suffered heavy damage. Shan Yu hurriedly ordered to retreat, although the Hun soldiers were defeated, but the retreat was orderly, and they were evacuated in batches, and the shock troops did not get much benefit.

Wang Cheng took a closer look, but found that among the people who saved him, there were countless banners with the word "Yan".

The army of the Yan Kingdom!

"How is that possible? Yan sent troops to us to do it! Wang Cheng wiped his eyes hard and confirmed repeatedly, but the banner of "Yan" in the opponent's army was fluttering in the wind, and Wang Cheng laughed: "Hahahahaha!" The Xiongnu are the enemies of all the people of the Central Plains, brothers, follow me and kill! ”

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" ......

Wang Cheng followed him out of the city with a small number of men, but he didn't pursue long before he was stopped by the Yan army: "Our General Li has an order, and we are afraid that the Xiongnu will have an ambush, so let us stop you here." ”

Wang Cheng saw that they were reasonable, so he didn't say much and nodded, and agreed.

It's just that the Xiongnu are powerful, although they suffered losses, but they did not hurt the fundamentals, that night, the Xiongnu Shan Yu in the big camp, the Xiongnu high-level held a meeting here, Shan Yu said in their Xiongnu language: "Now the armies of Yan, Zhao, and Qi are dispatched, even if our soldiers are strong and their combat power is ten times theirs, but we are not familiar with the terrain, and we have plundered enough property, I think we can stop the army and go back to the north." ”

Although there are many people who agree, there are also many opponents, among which Shan Yu's eldest son Matsutani Li reminded Biao that he was three times that of ordinary people, and said: "What are you afraid of! We have hundreds of thousands of people, I am in charge of Northern Yan, Yelu is in charge of Southern Qi, and you are in charge of the most powerful Zhao State, I believe that we will be able to take most of the territory of Zhao State and then dominate the Central Plains! ”

Shan Yu shook his head: "No, we crossed the Great Wall, and now there are already soldiers who are not adapted, if we go further south, I am afraid it will aggravate their condition, and our Xiongnu habit has always been to plunder, and it is very troublesome to occupy the other party's land." We have horses, and we are good at running and fighting, but we have no weapons and experience to defend ourselves. It's better to retreat. ”
