Chapter 147: The Xiongnu persuade to surrender

"What to do? All of them straightened their waists for Lao Tzu and fought with the Huns! The guard spat and spitted, although the righteousness was awe-inspiring, in fact, he was still a little scared in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There are so many Huns, how can we fight? Forget it if you surrender, these Huns are just robbing something, let's turn a blind eye and let them go. The coward whispered to the guard.

"Fuck you!" The guard kicked the coward violently and scolded: "Lao Tzu surrendered like this, and Your Majesty still doesn't kill my whole family?" Cheer me up! His Royal Highness King Qing will bring someone to rescue us! ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that the guards had said this, the soldiers could only harden their heads and prepare to fight, and the cowards also held the knife in both hands, and their legs trembled while staring at the Huns in the distance.

Shi Min walked north with thousands of men and horses for more than an hour, the sun had completely come out, the sky was clear, and the entire white snow looked a little dazzling in the sun.

"Major General, look, the scouts we sent out are back." Xue Zan suddenly said to Shi Min.

"Major General!" The scout shouted as he rode toward the army.

"Have you found any traces of the Huns?" Shi Min asked loudly.

"Back to the Major General! I found traces of the Huns and Qiang camping last night, and some other things, do you want to take a look? The scout said with some hesitation.

"What's the situation?" Shi Min asked.

"You'd better go and see for yourself."

Shi Min saw that the man's face was very bad, and realized that he might have found something, so he said, "Lead the way!" ”

When everyone followed the scout to the camp of the Hu people last night, they were shocked by the sight in front of them. Thousands of female corpses lay in the snow, most of them unclothed, apparently inhumane before they died.

The blood on the snow had dried up and frozen, Shi Min got off his horse, walked over, and saw the corpse of a young girl closest to him, her eyes still open, looking frightened and desperate.

"This bunch of beasts! It's really inhuman! Xue Zan looked at the tragedy in front of him and scolded angrily.

Many soldiers couldn't help shedding tears when they saw this scene, these are the daughters of the Han people, who should have had a stable life, but were taken captive here by the wolf-like Hu people, and were brutally killed after being humiliated, and finally exposed to the wilderness.

Shi Min took off the cloak on his body and put it on the girl's body, then slowly stood up without saying a word.

"Major General......" Zhang Mufeng shouted in a low voice on the side.

Shi Min turned around, stepped on the Zhulong horse, and then shouted to all the soldiers: "All get on the horse!" Keep chasing! ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers are burning with anger in their hearts at this moment, and they want to turn this anger into a sharp blade piercing the chest of the Hu people, and avenge the souls of the Han people who died tragically under the Hu people's knives.

Da Dan Yu brought people to the front of Yanmen Pass, and sent people to shout: "Listen to the people on the city tower, we Huns and Qiang people entered the customs this time, only for cattle, sheep, livestock and money, and do not want to kill people, if you switch and let us go out, we will definitely have no offense against Yanmen Guanqiu, if you are stubbornly resistant, then wash your Yanmen Pass in blood!" ”

"General, what should I do? To fight or not to fight? The people around him asked the guard.

"Wait! Relying on us alone, we will definitely not be able to withstand the attack from both sides, maybe the reinforcements will arrive in a while, if we surrender now, it will be too damn aggrieved, and I will not be able to deal with Your Majesty at that time! The guard hid behind the city wall, poked out half of his head, and while staring at the movement under the city tower, he commanded his subordinates: "You are not allowed to act rashly without my orders!" Hear no! ”

"I heard you!" The soldiers around him nodded in agreement.

"You all give me a little quiet!" The guard hurriedly whispered to his subordinates.

When the guards heard this, they nodded their heads again and again.

After the people shouting under the city finished speaking, seeing that the people on the city tower did not move, they helplessly turned back to the big single in the distance, and the big single raised his hand, and the man understood and shouted again: "Listen to the people on the city tower, we will give you a chance at the end, hurry up and let us pass, otherwise we will start attacking the city!" ”

"General! They're going to attack the city! What to do? "Some people are starting to panic a bit.

"Don't worry, the archers are ready, if they dare to come closer, release the arrows!" The defenders had the attitude of being able to delay, hoping that reinforcements would appear soon.

"Yes!" The soldiers replied in a low voice.

"Are the gates closed on both sides?" The guard general was not reassured and asked again.

"General rest assured! Both sides have been closed! One of the people next to him replied.

"That's good! The rest is up to providence! The guard wiped the sweat from his head and said with some nervousness.

Seeing that there was still no response from the city tower, the shouter returned to Da Shan Yu and reported the situation to Da Shan Yu. I saw that Da Danyu's face was grim, and he slowly pulled out the knife on his waist and shouted to the person behind him: "Send a signal!" Besiege! ”

At the same time, the group of Huns outside the city who had been standing still heard the horn, it seemed that they had received the order to attack, and slowly set up their formation, and the ladder for the siege was also moved out, and there were even catapults.

"General! The Huns outside are also preparing to attack! One of the soldiers in charge of keeping an eye on the situation outside shouted to the guard.

"Damn, God really doesn't help Lao Tzu!" The guard turned and walked to the city wall to look outside, and then shouted to his subordinates: "It's too much to hide!" We're all men with a handle in the crotch! You can't just admit it! Reinforcements will definitely come! Guys withstood it! "The guards want to encourage everyone as much as possible, at least until reinforcements appear.

"General! The Huns are coming! Someone shouted.

"Shout what to shout! When they come, greet them with rolling wood, thunder stones, and bows and arrows! ”

The Huns outside the city rushed over with a ladder, and the catapults in the distance threw stones one after another, smashing them on the city wall, and some people were unlucky and were killed on the spot.

The defenders of the city did not dare to be careless, and when they saw the Huns within the range of bows and arrows, they immediately released their arrows. Although the Huns had cowhide shields on their heads, some of them were unfortunately shot by arrows and fell to the ground. For a time, Yanmen Pass was attacked on both sides, and the situation was precarious.

Due to the limited siege equipment, the Huns in Yanmen Pass could only rely on the cover of ladders and archers, and the defenders had no choice but to fight at both ends.

At the same time, Wang Shicheng had also joined Li Chang and marched towards Yanmen Pass. In the fierce battle with 10,000 Huns last night, both sides had their own losses, in addition to the less than 7,000 men and horses taken by Shi Min, Wang Shicheng, Li Chang and Shi Zun's cavalry were only a few thousand people left. Wang Shicheng was around Yunzhong City, and overnight absorbed Lu Hailong's subordinates, who had been scattered by the Huns, and barely managed to get 10,000 cavalry.

Yanmen Pass was already full of corpses at this time, and the guard general commanded his subordinates to resist while scolding in his mouth: "Damn, I've pitted the old boys!" Promised reinforcements! ”

"General! If we continue to fight, the brothers will all die! There are too many Huns! We can't stop it! Someone else said to the guard.

"Wait a little longer! You can't just surrender! Maybe reinforcements will come in a little while! "The defenders are still holding out hope for reinforcements, but in fact their hearts are already a little shaken.

"Da Danyu, we have to hurry! Otherwise, if the pursuers behind catch up, we will have no way to retreat. Mu Du looked at Yanmen Pass from a distance and couldn't attack it for a long time, and said with some anxiety in his heart.

"The pursuers didn't arrive so fast! I left 10,000 men to intercept them, not to mention that they didn't have much cavalry left, do you think Shi Zun and Shi Zhan's sons will send infantry to chase us? "Da Shan Yu is very calm.

"That's not going to happen, but we grabbed so many things, and I left here earlier to go to the grassland, so I feel at ease."

"Are you scared?" Da Shan Yu smiled slightly, looked at Mu Du and asked.
