Jincheng was besieged for a month, and Han Pu, the general of the protection army, had to personally go to the city every day, not only to inspect the city defense, but also to boost morale. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I saw that the broad walls were filled with rolling logs, stones, and bundles of arrows, and countless cauldrons were boiling water. Because of the lack of preparation of the Huns, the city is now only under martial law, and the people have not yet been mobilized. The few young men who were called up were only responsible for transporting and caring for the wounded.

At the base of the four walls, a deep pit was dug every twenty sections. Countless large water tanks collected from people's homes were being directed by the officials to put the prisoners into the pits. This is to prevent the Huns from digging tunnels and entering the city and installed "eavesdropping", twelve hours a day need to send sensitive ears to squat in the tank, once they hear the movement, they must report immediately.

Further on, in the cave under the city, many soldiers were resting. They had fought all night last night, and could only take advantage of the Huns' absence from attacking. Some of the soldiers still had their long poles in their arms, which were their weapons and tools.

This kind of long pole, also known as a pole, is about a foot long, and the top is a crescent-shaped piece of wood. This thing was specially used to push the long ladder of the enemy army, and it took five or six people to move. Often the Huns climbed the city, and the long ladder was full of people, and the strength was small and could not be pushed at all, and many people could work together. If you overturn the long ladder, you can fall to death and injure a lot of Hulu at once!

Han Pu inspected the circle, nodded with satisfaction, and led a group of generals to the city tower.

Chen Zhen, who joined the army, praised: "The generals in the north are said to be good at guarding, and in the past month, they have been obedient to their duties. ”

"Huh!" Han Pu smiled, looking at the undiminished Hun army formation outside the city, still with a sad expression.

"Why is the general's face so sad?" Chen Zhen said: "The Huns are not good at attacking cities, and they are not well prepared, this time they didn't take advantage of anything, but they lost a lot of people." According to previous estimates, the road will be closed in half a month of heavy snowfall, and they will not be able to retreat at that time. Besides, the general's reinforcements should be coming soon, and when the time comes, we should work together inside and outside, and we will be able to kill the Huns! ”

According to the confession of the captured captives, the commander of the Xiongnu on the opposite side was Hu Yanyu. This person, the old man has fought with him, and it is very difficult to deal with. He must have thought about the unfavorable situation you just mentioned, but he has not withdrawn his troops yet, and he is obviously not giving up. Han Pu said.

"Phew!" At this time, Ha Chenghe, who was standing aside, said angrily: "A dignified man, I want to be a dog for Hulu, which is really insulting to my ancestors." ”

"Since Liu Yao became emperor, he has adopted the strategy of dividing the Hu and Han dynasties, and followed the Wei and Jin Dynasty Nine Rank Official Law, set up schools, and maintained clothes, which has won some people's hearts." Chen Zhen sighed: "In fact, it's just a monkey and a crown, and after learning some fur, I thought I could dominate the world, which is ridiculous." ”

Han Pu said: "Don't mention these, but I don't know if the major general will turn around······

"That kid ······" As soon as Ha Chengsi spoke, he was glared at by Han Pu, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed his words: "The young general will definitely not leave, he is very bold, he entered the camp before to persuade him to surrender, and he did not hesitate at all." ”

"I also agree with General Ha, looking at the young general's posture, I am afraid that he will not obey the order to return to the DPRK, but may go deep behind the enemy." Chen Zhen said.

"Scared!" Ha Chengsi was surprised: "I said that he was bold, but what you said was not bold!" ”

"General Ha doesn't believe it?" Chen Zhen asked.

Ha Chengsi shook his head and said: "How can the Huns get along well, if they go deep behind enemy lines, I am afraid they will not be able to come back." The Major General would never have been so reckless. ”

"The old man thinks it's possible." Han Pu stroked his beard worriedly and said: "Recently, the old man has found that there are always a large number of cavalry troops in the enemy camp who have taken grain and grass and returned, which must be caused by the lack of food in the army. In addition, the scouts reported that a team of 2,000 horses was missing, and I am afraid that it would ······" Speaking of this, Han Pu shook his head.

"Plundering is in the nature of the Hulu, and there is nothing strange about it." Ha Chengsi said.

"At this time, Huyan is anxious to capture Jincheng, and there is no point in plundering." Chen Zhen said: "To the east of Qinzhou in the Han Kingdom, there are only two counties of Longxi and Nan'an, and the total strength should be about 50,000 people. Now there are 30,000 soldiers stationed outside the city, which shows that Qinzhou of the Han State is very empty. The Major General took this opportunity to get in, but it was very likely. As long as it's not blocked in the big river······"

"Wouldn't it be dangerous if the two thousand horses went to suppress the young general?" Ha Chengsi said urgently.

"Now we can only hope for the appearance of the young general." Chen Zhen said helplessly.

At the same time, in the Han army camp, the commander Hu Yanwei was also worried.

This time, the Xiongnu dispatched 30,000 elite cavalry to invade Jincheng, which was originally agreed with Peng Yuangong to jointly send troops. But who would have thought that Peng Yuangong would be such a waste and had been exterminated! When the news reached Hu Yanyu's hands, the Xiongnu brigade was already not far from Jincheng. Moreover, people eat horses and chew them, and they spend a lot of time measuring grain and grass, and if they return in vain, wouldn't it be a joke.

In addition, this year's heavy snowfall, cattle, sheep and livestock froze to death, even if there are Han people farming, but many Xiongnu tribes have suffered heavy losses. Everyone wanted to break through Jincheng and plunder, but Hu Yanwei wanted to withdraw, and his generals couldn't agree.

Hu Yanyu was originally a Han Chinese, and was appreciated by Liu Yao for his merits, and was given the surname of the Xiongnu; He was repeatedly promoted and became the assassin of Qinzhou. Many Hun leaders were very dissatisfied with his ability to be a Han man in a high position, and the war dragged on for too long, and there were rumors of a change of commander in the court. It's just that the emperor still trusts him, and the change of commander is not conducive to the war, so he continues to preside.

In the past month, the army's grain routes have been continuously robbed, which has made Hu Yanwei even more anxious.

At first, he didn't care about the looting of the team's baggage. As the highest military and political governor of Longxi and Nan'an counties in Qinzhou, Hu Yanwei knew too well what kind of urine the Huns were. In winter, even two neighboring tribes will fight and kill women because of cows and horses, or even if they disagree, in order to take the opportunity to annex each other and expand their strength.

But who knew that the situation became more and more serious later, not only was the baggage robbed, but even the outpost of the garrison was also attacked. Those scattered tribes do not have the courage to do so. In the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, no one dared to challenge the emperor's will! What's more, according to the reports of his subordinates, the dead soldiers were all cut off and beheaded, and they became Jingguan!

This shows that there is a group of Liangzhou soldiers and horses who took advantage of the chaos to enter their backyard.

In order not to cause panic, he also sent a small group of elite men to encircle and suppress, but there was no return. According to the few soldiers who fled back, the group of enemy soldiers was elusive and difficult to spot. Even though they quietly surrounded it, they were very vigilant and evacuated as soon as there was any disturbance. It was even more strange that their horses could run on the ice and only let their men catch up.

The most unbearable thing is that those cool soldiers seem to be able to sleep endlessly. As long as your men stop to rest at night, they will keep harassing them, but when you chase them out, they are gone. If you dare to search at night, you will be inexplicably divided and surrounded, and then you will suffer heavy losses.

In Hu Yanyu's opinion, the tactics of this small group of Liang troops are very subtle, giving full play to some forces that can be used. But it also exposed a situation, that is, the number of people is not large, and the combat power is not strong. Otherwise, it wouldn't be done like this, it's just too frustrating.

He absolutely couldn't bear the fact that he had not attacked Jincheng for a long time, but let the Liang army do evil in Qinzhou! So he immediately ordered two thousand elite horsemen, and let his henchmen lead the bones, don't wipe out this enemy army!

Hu Yanwei believes that in the face of absolute power, any tricks are useless, which is called one force to ten meetings.
