Chapter 106: Xianbei Koubian VII
In the Taishou Mansion of Xiangping City, the scouts delivered the information they had explored one after another, and in the face of such a grim situation, Huo Yu was also at a loss, although he already had a strategy to break the enemy in his heart, it also depended on whether there was a chance to use it!
According to the information transmitted back, the two divisions of Helian and Suli have converged, and their forces are far more than 100,000 people, and they are heading for Xiangping. Since Huo Yu announced the news www.biquge.info of Xianbei's attack on that day, many families and merchants have moved away from Xiangping City and gone south in the past few days.
However, what made Huo Yu arrive was relieved that no one in the area north of the city where the Yellow Turban prisoners were placed had evacuated, but spontaneously helped the Xiangping defenders to strengthen the city defense and carry the materials for defending the city. These people all know that it was Huo Yu who gave them a chance to survive, and besides, this place has become their home, who wants their home to be destroyed by others!
Judging from the current situation under control, only Liaodong is under the greatest pressure in the entire Youzhou, and Tan Shihuai led an army of 60,000 to win and lose several battles with Gongsun Zan in Liaoxi and Youbeiping, and no one can help anyone! On the Liaodong side, after the 70,000 horses that came first from the Suli Department were eaten by Huo Yu, 10,000 were requisitioned from the rear and 30,000 horses were on the way. Combined with the 40,000 horses of Helian, the total strength reached 140,000.
This news was brought back after Shi A confirmed it many times, and the atmosphere in the entire Xiangping City was extremely tense for a while. The only thing that made everyone happy was what the veterans of Liaodong said, "Xianbei people lack siege means". In order to strengthen the defense of the city, Huo Yu ordered the craftsman workshop to rotate in two shifts to produce arrows and crossbow arrows, and even under Huo Yu's strict requirements, Ma Jun actually converted some of the bed crossbows to the city wall.
Even so, when Xianbei's 140,000 horses appeared under Xiangping City, the defenders of the entire city gasped. Even worse, his legs began to weaken, and he was afraid.
In recent days, Huo Yu would appear on time on time every day, inspecting the defense on the one hand, and cheering up the soldiers on the other. When he received the news of the arrival of the Xianbei army, he rushed up to the city tower in ten steps and five steps, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva when he looked at the black and oppressive side of the Xianbei crowd in front of him.
When Huo Yu came back to his senses, a group of civil and military officers had already been around him, and the scene was surprisingly quiet for a while. Huo Yu knew in his heart that if he didn't do something at this moment, he was afraid that his morale would fall to the bottom!
After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his mentality, Huo Yu turned around and glanced around, finding that everyone had already recovered from the shock. Especially Guo Jia's kid, his eyes are bright and bright, just like a big bad wolf seeing a little white rabbit. Fortunately, he didn't make a fool of himself, so that the war in the Age of Weapons was so shocking, but then again, his future troops will definitely be more than the Xianbei people in the eyeliner, and it seems that this mind still needs to be honed.
After everyone felt Huo Yu's gaze, they kept staring at Huo Yu, so Huo Yu no longer hesitated, walked up to a stone stacked at the head of the city, and said loudly: "Soldiers, in the face of the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people in front of you, are you afraid?" ”
For a while, everyone didn't know what it meant, and no one dared to answer.
"What? Don't dare to say it? Huo Yu asked in an accentuated tone.
When he was young, Huo Yu continued: "Whether you are afraid or not, Yu is very afraid in his heart!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officers and soldiers in the city were shocked, and just when Zhang Fei was about to speak, he was hurriedly stopped by Guo Jia and Zhao Yun.
"But is fear a reason for fear? I still remember that when I first arrived in Xiangping, Yu once said that for the safety of the Han people and the safety of the Han nation, Yu was willing to sacrifice his life! Now is the time to make good on that promise! After saying that, Huo Yu suddenly thought about everyone kneeling.
This action immediately alarmed everyone, but before everyone could react, Huo Yu tore his white robe and took out a dagger from between his legs, which was one of the few daggers made by the Craftsman Workshop in imitation of later generations.
After taking out the dagger, Huo Yu cut his finger without hesitation and wrote. When Huo Yu finished writing, he raised the blood letter above his head and shouted: "In the city behind him, there are Yu's relatives, and even more everyone's relatives, Xianbei people are disgusting, Yu doesn't say much." If the Xianbei people want to enter the city, they must step on Yu's body, and Yu is here to implore you to help protect the people in Xiangping City! ”
The "Lord ....." and the civil and military were the first to be moved by Huo Yu's true feelings, and they all knelt towards Huo Yu. Then, the soldiers above the city fell to their knees one after another.
"The city is in the people, the city is ruined!" Huo Yu suddenly shouted.
"The city is in the people, the city is ruined! The city is in the people, the city is ruined! The city is in the people, the city is ruined! For a while, there was a neat shout from the head of the city, and then it spread to the city wall, and then it spread ten, ten to hundred, and the morale of the entire Xiangping City was ignited!
The Xianbei people who were encamping were shocked by the earth-shattering shouts on their backs. When Su Li and Helian knew about this, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly, this Xiangping City is difficult to fight! Huo Yu is really a powerful master. At that moment, he ordered the whole army to beware of the Han army attacking the camp tonight.
As night approached, both sides stepped up their preparations to prevent a sneak attack. The night was destined to be a quiet night, and neither side sent troops, and it was not until dawn that the Xianbei camp began to stir.
In the Taishou Mansion, Huo Yu is bidding farewell to this Yu'er and Zhang Ning. Needless to say, this battle is dangerous, the children have actually been prepared for a long time, and once the city is broken, they will definitely die by themselves. Although Huo Yu knew it in his heart, he was also stabbed, and perhaps death was the best relief in the troubled times.
After breakfast, the Xianbei people couldn't hold back their excitement, and when they thought of the gold, silver, jewelry, and fair-skinned women in Xiangping City, they were like wolves. Because Helian and Suli had already given the order to plunder at will after breaking the city. Looking at the Xianbei people who couldn't wait to come to their deaths, Huo Yu snorted coldly, this Xianbei people are really interesting, they actually know that the siege is missing one, but the Xianbei people are stupid enough, and more than ten times the strength of the siege is the best policy.
The desolate horn sounded in the Xianbei army array, and groups of Xianbei cavalry actually dismounted and rushed towards the city wall with cloud ladders.
"Grandma's legs, Xianbei people's ladder is really ugly!" The big war, Zhang Fei is still admiring the ladder made by this Xianbei people.
However, as soon as these words came out, the soldiers around him burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere disappeared. Guo Jia stood not far away and nodded secretly, what the lord said was right, this Zhang Fei really has the appearance of a general. However, this appearance can indeed confuse many opponents.
"Xiao Guozi, what are you laughing at? This Xianbei people are attacking, and you are still smiling" Zhang Fei turned around and saw Guo Jia looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help but shudder, and then asked.
"Jia is laughing, the Xianbei people don't know Zhang Yide again, otherwise they will definitely not attack this section of the city wall." Guo Jia said casually.
"Hahaha, Xiao Guozi will also make a sycophant, not bad!" Zhang Fei laughed, turned around and stared ahead, and didn't speak.
