As evening approached, the sun fell like a huge fireball in the western sky, wantonly releasing the last of its scorching heat to the earth, and the sky seemed to be burned red, and the whole sky seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood.

At the head of Meiji City, the Han army camp in the distance can be seen in the distance, and the corpses on the ground are either buried or burned, and they have almost been cleaned up.

Although he didn't know why Han Jun was wasting all this strength to dispose of the corpse, Hu Chuquan didn't have the heart to think about these issues at the moment.

Three major battles in a row, although it did cause heavy damage to the Han army, but the elite of the Xiongnu clan was almost exhausted in these three battles, the range of the Han people's bows and crossbows was much farther than before, even if there was no horse pit, the Huns' cavalry just wanted to rush to the front of the Han army, it would cost a lot of money, in order to retain the elite as much as possible, generally rushed to the front, are the old, weak, sick and disabled in those clans, as well as the beggars, the Yueshi people, and the Tu people, but even so, the three wars down, The huge loss still made Hu Chuquan's heart bleed.

Even if this Han army is defeated, they probably won't have many warriors left, how can they continue to breed on this fertile soil under the watchful eye of the Xianbei people and the Northern Xiongnu?

Regret it?

There really is, Hu Chuquan never thought that this sneak attack, the reaction of the Han people would be so fierce and ruthless, south of Meiji, I am afraid that there are no more Hun men to be found, as for women, as goods in the eyes of the Huns, they are already considered trophies of the Han people at this moment.

At first, I only felt that it was profitable, but at this moment, when the Han army came in, Hu Chuquan began to regret it, not regretting the looting, the Huns lived on this most of the time, but regretted that he chose the wrong opponent, and the person provoked this time was obviously not as easy to talk as the previous opponent, this time, it was obvious that he was going to move seriously.

If it doesn't work, just withdraw!

Looking at the busy Han army in the distance, it seems that there is not much defense, but Hu Chuquan can be sure that if he sends troops at this time and wants to take advantage of the past, I am afraid that he will not be pleased, it is likely to be a trap laid by the Han people, and the Han people are best at this kind of thing, although even now, Hu Chuquan does not understand why he was defeated by the Han army with far fewer people than him in three consecutive battles, but now he doesn't want to think about these problems, what he is thinking about now is where to retreat?

Defending the city is definitely not good, the Huns are not good at this, and the city wall of Meiji is definitely not strong, if you even lose the field battle, in the face of the Han people who are good at attacking the city, defending the city is undoubtedly a very stupid choice.

As for where to retreat, Hu Chuquan actually has his own plan in his heart, the big city has been broken, Meiji now seems to be broken, it is a matter of time before it is broken, it is better to take advantage of the fact that there are still many manpower, with the mobility of the cavalry, get rid of the Han people, and retreat to Jilu Village.

Wuyuan Village is absolutely not good, there is backed by Yin Mountain, if the Han people continue to chase, there is no place to retreat, Jilu Village is different, just stuck between Yin Mountain and the Great Wall, there are many low hills to the west, so that it is not suitable for the construction of the city wall, to the north is the endless prairie, even if the Han people are not persistent, he can also retreat north through Jilu Village, the big deal is to defect to the Northern Xiongnu.

Although there were still grudges between the two sides before, in the final analysis, it was still a family, and when it came to life and death, the previous grievances and grievances could be put aside, and the only thing that made Hu Chuquan hesitate was what would happen if he defected to the Northern Huns.

The Southern Xiongnu were attached, and the Xiongnu merged into one again, and the Northern Xiongnu must be willing, but as the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, after defecting to the Northern Xiongnu, it is definitely impossible for him to continue to be a single Yu, and even for the sake of internal stability, it is possible to execute him.

It is precisely because of this that Hu Chuquan hesitated, people are afraid of death, the higher the status, the more he spares his life, he is the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, holding the life and death of four or five hundred thousand people in the Hetao, once he defects to the Northern Xiongnu, not only the rights will be gone, even his life may not be saved, who will not be willing to put it.

And now it is not without a turnaround, although the Han army in front of him is brave, but three consecutive wars, it has also been hit hard, and if it continues to fight, it may not be the Huns who will lose, besides, if the Han people feel that there are too many injuries and are unwilling to continue fighting, he will withdraw at this time and move north, that is not to let others pick up the cheap? In the final analysis, at this time, it depends on who consumes energy, and in the end, the one side that can't hold on fails.

Hu Chuquan didn't think that he would be unlucky to become the untenable party, because he still had a lot of men and horses in his hands, even if there were not many elites, but with so many people, just the cavalry charging into battle could consume the other party to death.

With such a fluke in his heart, Hu Chuquan did not choose to withdraw the army in the end, but continued to entrench in the royal court and continue to consume with Xu Rong.

However, he wanted to consume, but Xu Rong was not ready to consume with him, and that night, when most of the people fell asleep, and a small number of soldiers in charge of the night vigil were also drowsy, a sound of gongs and drums and the majestic sound of the horn woke Hu Chuquan from his sleep.

"What's going on? But the Han people attacked at night? Hurriedly put on his armor and carried his weapons to the city wall, but the imaginary battle did not happen, Hu Chuquan frowned and asked a few guards.

"No, it seems that it is just beating gongs and drums, and no trace of the Han army has been found." The Hun general shook his head and said.

"These damn Han Chinese!" After inspecting and making sure that there was no trace of the Han Chinese, Hu Chuquan left with a scolding, but before he could return to the room to continue resting, he was awakened by the sound of gongs and drums.

"Are these Han people finished?" Here walked to the city wall, looked at the dark night, Hu Chuquan roared angrily.

It's just that there is no way, I can't find the shadow of the Han army, and now even if I want to fight, I can't find an opponent, so I can only roar for a while and vent, and then go back to the room to rest.

Then unexpectedly, the gongs and drums of the Han people sounded again, Hu Chuquan was not in a hurry this time, just swayed up to the city wall, in order to vent his dissatisfaction, looking at the dark night, Hu Chuquan decided that he would live on the city wall tonight.

Then, until dawn, the Han people came twice, but they did not attack, Hu Chuquan disdainfully said to the left and right: "This is the tired strategy of the Han people, don't pay attention to him, just guard the city." ”

But Rao is so, the Huns were noisy all night, a day was listless, and the next night, those gongs and drums came again, but with yesterday's experience, this time, the Huns behaved very calmly.

The second and third time, the Han people really as Hu Chuquan said, just bluffed, did not attack, the Huns' vigilance was completely relaxed, although there were gongs and drums, horns sounded later, but the Huns in Meiji City should sleep and excrete, it seemed a lot calmer, Hu Chuquan went to sleep early, he didn't sleep well yesterday, and he had to guard against the attack of the Han army during the day, and his spirit was quite tired, so he slept very deeply this night, even if the gongs and drums outside shook the sky, None of them woke him up again.

At the last moment before dawn, Hu Chuquan, who was sleeping soundly, was forcibly woken up by someone.

"What's wrong again!?" Hu Chuquan looked at the guard in front of him angrily, ready to teach this unruly guy a hard lesson, but the next moment, he was speechless by the raging fire in his sight.

The earth-shattering sound of fighting, the constant screams, and the sound of arrows piercing the void were mixed with the cries of women and children.

"What happened!?" Hu Chuquan grabbed the guard's collar and roared.

"The Han people are coming in, Shan Yu, let's go!" The guard said loudly.

"How can the Han people come in...... Hu Chuquan reacted halfway through his speech, the Han people kept beating gongs and drums yesterday, not to exhaust the soldiers, but to make them think that the Han people were just bluffing, and then when their vigilance was lost, they suddenly attacked, which ...... It's despicable.

"Let's go!" The sound of fighting is constantly approaching this side, Hu Chuquan doesn't care about saying more, put on his clothes, pick up his weapon and go out, the whole Meiji City is full of skyrocketing fire, although Hu Chuquan's room is the official residence left by the Han people, but most of the Huns are still used to living in tents, the tents are coated with thick grease in order to prevent rain, the Han army only needs to use a torch to ignite, at this moment the whole city, as far as the eye can see, are firelight.

In all directions, it seems that there are Han people shouting and killing, under the night, Hu Chuquan does not know how many Han soldiers have been killed, but the Huns in the city have become a mess, and even squeezed each other, Hu Chuquan knows that at this time, it is impossible to regroup, so he immediately made a decision, and took the guards to rush in the direction of the less fighting.

Along the way, people kept shouting, and some Hun warriors gradually gathered together, which also made him have a lot more people.

I don't know who opened the city gate, it should be the fleeing Huns, Hu Chuquan didn't say much when he saw this, and rushed out with his head bored.

"Boom~"

The soldiers in front of him suddenly fell down without warning, Hu Chuquan slammed the reins of the horse, the war horse man stood up, stopped the momentum, several arrows crossed his ears, and the screams of the Hun warriors came from behind him, but Hu Chuquan couldn't care so much, and his eyes were staring at the front tightly.

The first rays of dawn have shone on the earth, heralding the beginning of a new day, outside the north gate of Meiji City, a cavalry of the Han army does not know when to appear here, as the first general, white horse and silver spear, standing outside the city gate, the morning sun shines on his body, it seems to have crossed a halo for him, and said loudly in the direction of Huchuquan: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, and the thief will not get off his horse and surrender!" ”
