Chapter 39: The Eve of the Great War

Five miles north of Jiuquan City, the Zhenbei Army is rushing towards Jiuquan City, the current strength of the Zhenbei Army is simply not enough to confront the 60,000 Huns outside the city, and can only advance to the city and the Xiliang Army in the city to join forces and then seek another countermeasure.

"General, the situation is not good, the Huns are coming at us." After Li Yan received the report from the scout, he immediately reported it to Zhang Jingyu.

"How many Huns came?" Zhang Jing's face changed after hearing this.

"About 10,000 cavalry are coming towards us, please give the general an order to meet the enemy." Li Yan clenched his fists and said.

"Pass my general's order, order General Lei Ming's cavalry to defend the two wings, General Li Yan's blood wolf guard to open the way in front of the formation, and the rest of the infantry and bows and arrows are in the formation, don't stop." Zhang Jing's sword was unsheathed and ordered.

"Yes! The last will obey! Li Yan saluted Zhang Jing and rode forward.

"The Blood Wolf Guard listens to the order and opens the way in front of the battle! Don't stop and go straight to the north gate, the army in the city will respond. Li Yan came to the front of the formation, and looked at the black pressure in front of him, and the Huns had already killed the Zhenbei army.

After Li Yan gave the order, the Zhenbei Army marched towards Jiuquan City on alert.

"Be careful, the Huns are coming." Han Qian on the side watched as the Huns' army was about to rush to the front.

"Shoot the arrows!" Li Yan shouted.

The archers in the Zhenbei army array followed an order, and the arrows in their hands came out of their hands, and the arrows in the sky flew towards the Huns who rushed over.

The Hun cavalry who rushed ahead were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, and the war horses without their masters stood in place and neighed uneasily.

"The Blood Wolf Guard is out to kill the enemy!" Li Yan saw that the Hun cavalry was already about to rush in.

As soon as the blood wolf guard came out of the battle, those unsuspecting Huns were suddenly split in half by this sudden Mo knife, and the Zhenbei army killed Jiuquan City step by step.

The cavalry of the Zhenbei Army on both flanks of the Zhenbei Army also fought with the Huns, and there were sounds of fighting everywhere.

"Quick! The Chinese army that directly broke through the Xiliang Army was going to hang Zhang Jing's head under Jiuquan City, and then it was going to make the Xiliang Army scared. Frustrated Qu Bainian yelled loudly.

More and more Huns killed the Zhenbei Army, and the Mo knife in the hand of the blood wolf guard felt a little dull, as if they were numb, and the Mo knife in their hands waved and slashed towards the Huns.

In Jiuquan City, Li Wei was anxiously waiting in the Liangwang Mansion, the Hun army had been attacking the city for several hours, although the Huns had repelled the Huns several times, but Li Wei always felt a sense of unease in his heart.

"Report! King Qiliang, there was a sudden army of soldiers and horses in the north of the city to fight with the Huns, and it is estimated that the Zhenbei army led by General Zhang Jing came back. A sergeant came in and knelt down on one knee and said to Li Wei.

"Quick! The order went down and asked General Linghu to lead the troops to meet the Zhenbei Army quickly. After hearing this, Li Wei suddenly got up and said.

In the north of Jiuquan City, the Zhenbei army killed all the way, and the Xiongnu army had killed and wounded thousands of people, and the Zhenbei army also lost more than 1,000 people.

"General, the combat power of this Zhenbei Army is too strong, the sons and daughters can't attack it anyway, the weapons used by the Zhenbei Army are extremely strange, my Daliang cavalry has died countless under its sword, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the Zhenbei Army will enter the city."

"The whole army rushed to kill together, and the Zhenbei army must not be allowed to return to Jiuquan City," Fuqu Bainian ordered loudly.

"General, the Xiliang army in the city has been killed." One of the guards stepped forward and said.

Hearing the sound of Fuqu for a hundred years, he looked towards the north gate of Jiuquan City, only to see that the suspension bridge at the city gate had been lowered, and the Xiliang army continued to kill his army from Jiuquan City.

"Withdraw." Frustrated for a hundred years, a word came out of his mouth.

"Kill. Reinforcements from the city came, and they killed them. When Li Yan saw the reinforcements from Jiuquan City coming out, he suddenly felt a burst of energy.

When the Zhenbei army heard that reinforcements were coming, they seemed to see hope, and they struggled to kill the Huns with weapons in their hands.

Linghu Qian led the troops out of the north gate and killed in the direction of the Zhenbei army, and the Huns saw the Xiliang army in the city killing themselves, and fled to the Hun camp in the south of the city with an order from Fuqu for a hundred years.

"Yan'er has seen my uncle." Li Yan came to Ling Huqian's side, dismounted and saluted excitedly.

"Yan'er, I haven't seen you look like this for two years, okay! Quick, hurry up, let my uncle take a good look. Ling Huqian looked at Li Yan in front of him and almost didn't recognize it, Li Yan has changed too much in the past year.

"I've seen General Zhenbei!" Linghu Qian said with a fist at Zhang Jing.

"General Linghu is polite, thank you General Linghu for your help today, otherwise I'm afraid that my Zhenbei Army will be folded in the hands of this Hun thief." Zhang Jing returned the salute and thanked him.

"General, uncle, now is not the time to catch up, let's hurry back to the city." Li Yan said to Zhang Jing and Ling Huqian.

"The Zhenbei army listens to the order and enters the city!" Zhang Jing turned around and ordered the Zhenbei army behind him.

The Zhenbei army entered the city and was arranged to defend the Huns from the siege of the city in the south of the city. Zhang Jing and Li Yan went to Liangwangfu to meet Li Wei.

"Ministers Zhang Jing and Li Yan pay a visit to King Liang." Zhang Jing and Li Yan bowed to Li Wei.

"Good! Get up. Li Wei said with a slight bow.

"Thank you, King Liang!"

"General Zhang has made great achievements in the West Sea, come! Sit down! Li Wei led Zhang Jing aside and sat down.

"King Liang's words are serious, the last general is ashamed, thanks to General Li Yan's great help in the past six months, the last general really doesn't dare to take credit." Zhang Jing said and saluted Li Wei.

"Yan'er, you've worked hard too." Li Wei looked at Li Yan with a kind face.

"Grandpa, for the sake of my Da Liang's safety, Yan'er is not hard." Li Yan could feel Li Wei's concern for him, and he didn't feel that his eyes were moist.

"Yan'er, you haven't come back for half a year, go back now to see your mother, grandpa has something to talk to General Zhenbei, you can go back first."

"Yes, Yan'er is retiring."

Li Yan went out of the Liangwang Mansion and finally found his mansion under the guidance of the sergeant, and the mansion in front of him was much stronger than the west courtyard of the Liangwang Mansion.

The whole street is inhabited by Xiliang's families and dignitaries, and Li Yan's newly given mansion feels a little small. However, Li Yan doesn't have any requirements for this, no matter how big the mansion is, he can't use most of the land.

When Li Yan knocked on the door, Liu Laohan stuck his head out of the crack in the door, and saw that Li Yan was so excited that he couldn't speak.

"Young boy, you~ You can be regarded as back." Liu Laohan wiped the corners of his eyes and hurriedly invited Li Yan into the mansion.

After Li Yan entered the mansion, Liu Laohan trotted to report to the Linghu clan.

"Yan'er~ Is that you?" Ling Hu was still in the house and muttered Li Yan.

"Mother, the child is back." Li Yan kowtowed deeply towards the Linghu clan.

"Yan'er, get up, let my mother take a good look." Linghu said in a trembling voice.

"I've grown taller, and I've got a tan." Ling Hu touched Li Yan's cheek, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Mother, the child is fine, isn't this coming back?" Li Yan looked at the tears in Ling Hu's eyes, and unconsciously felt his nose sour.

"Madam, the young man has just come back, let's go into the house and talk." Xin'er behind the Linghu clan persuaded.

"Yes! Mother, let's go back to the house. Li Yan helped Linghu into the hall.

Linghu asked Li Yan about his recent situation in the West Sea, Li Yan was afraid that Linghu was worried and said briefly, Linghu held Li Yan's hands with a worried face.

Then Linghu asked Xin'er to arrange a bath for Li Yan, Li Yan smelled that the smell on his body was indeed too strong, and he didn't know that he hadn't taken a bath for a few days in the Zhenbei Army.

Xin'er behind Li Yan kept smiling, and after more than half an hour, Li Yan changed into clean clothes and came out, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

During the day, the Huns ordered the siege of the city, and in the face of the Xiliang army, which had been prepared, the Huns who were fierce and abnormal on weekdays did not take advantage of it.

At night, the Xiongnu army had stopped attacking the city, and during the day, the siege suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and Fuqu was very angry in his heart, but what made him even more angry was that the tens of thousands of troops in the hundred years of Fuqu failed to intercept and kill the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhenbei army, but were killed by the Zhenbei army more than 3,000 people.

"The governor is angry, and the last general is careless to the enemy, so that the soldiers are lost, please punish them!" Fuqu 100 knelt in the tent and said to Fuqu.

"You mean that the Xiliang Army has a sharp weapon against cavalry?" Frustrated Qu pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked.

"Yes, Governor! The weapons of the northern army in this town are extremely strange, like knives but not like knives, slashing on the cavalry, the knives are deadly. ”

"Oh? And such weapons? Frustrated Qu looked puzzled.

"Report! Governor, General Zang Mohao sent a letter, and was defeated by the Zhenbei Army under Xihai City a few days ago, so that ~ General Zang Mohao has retreated to Daliang. "In the Xiongnu camp, a Hun man held a letter and handed it to Fuqu Tu.

"Bastard, Zang Mozi betrayed the trust of the governor, not to mention, and ~ almost all the troops were wiped out, and he fled back with only a few hundred remnants. It's really annoying to me! Frustrated Qu roared angrily and kicked over the desk in front of him.

"Early tomorrow morning, if you attack the city for this governor, you must knock down Jiuquan City." Frustrated Qu looked displeased and said coldly.

In the Li Yan Mansion in Jiuquan City, Li Yan is completely sleepy, according to the current situation, the Huns will definitely attack the city tomorrow, and I am afraid that there will be another big war.

"The young boy hasn't slept so late? This is the lotus seed soup that Mrs. Xin'er boiled, and the young man drank it while it was hot. Xin'er walked in with a bowl of lotus seed soup.

Li Yan looked up at Xin'er in front of him, dressed in a cyan skirt, and her bumpy body emitted a faint fragrance, Li Yan suddenly felt hot all over.

As the saying goes, after three years in the army, sows are all sables, Li Yan looked at Xin'er in front of him, hugged Xin'er into his arms, and kissed her.

"Young boy, don't~ Madame hasn't slept yet." Xin'er's face was flushed, and she tried hard to break free from Li Yan's clutches.

"Xin'er, I miss you." Li Yan said that his hands had already wandered around.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Li Yan got up and felt a sore back, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Xin'er's Nizi almost sucked herself dry overnight.
