Chapter 11 The Siege of the Huns

Gao Ye's group, except for Gao Ye's three people, each with a horse, the rest of the people are on foot. Although the www.biquge.info of the Huns were killed and a dozen horses were captured, these horses were all used to pull carts. Most of the 30 or so people were women and children, and there was a lot of food rescued, and they all walked on foot, so the speed was naturally slow.

Gao Ye looked at himself and at the fellow villagers, and the sorrow did not dissipate from his face. If it weren't for the fact that there was no head hanging in front of the horse, and the car was carrying its own women, it would really look like a victorious army. It's a pity, a village of a few hundred people, only a few people survived, if this is also a victory, then Gao Ye would rather not.

But fortunately, he killed all the Huns, and none of them ran away, which may be the happiest thing for Gao Ye now. No one fled back to tell their large army what was happening here, and no Huns would chase after them today. According to Gao Ye's assumption, I am afraid that it will not be until night that the Huns will know that one of their teams has been killed.

This is a plain, not a village, and there is no place to hide for these ordinary villagers. If the Huns' cavalry came, it would naturally not be difficult for him and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to get out, but these thirty or so people would probably die here.

But fortunately, everything was as Gao Ye expected, although the group walked slowly, but until they reached the north gate of the county town, there were still no pursuers. Or, the Huns also felt that they were a little too deep this time, and they didn't have any idea of chasing south.

When I walked to the north gate, it was almost dusk, but there were only a few guards at the head of the city, all of them were lazy, and the city gate had not yet been closed. Gao Ye took this group into the city, but he was only interrogated and let go.

It seems that Guo Jia has already told Du Zhan about the Huns' attack on the grass valley, but this Du Zhan seems to have not paid attention to it at all, and yes, not to mention that he has been a Taishou for a few years, even if he has been pushed forward for a few decades, there is no matter of the Huns coming to the city. Perhaps in his mind, even if the Huns fought a little south of the grass valley, they would not attack the county town of Wuyuan at all.

However, there are exceptions to everything, in case the Huns come, in the current state, I am afraid that most of the people in this city will become ghosts under the sword of the Huns.

Gao Ye asked Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to take everyone back to the mansion to rest first, and asked Zhang Liao to tell the housekeeper Lao Zhang that these people must be arranged properly. He went straight to the Taishou Mansion.

There are also a lot of people in the Taishou Mansion now, and the officials of all sizes in the entire Wuyuan County are here. When Gao Ye entered the door, he happened to hear that Du Zan was ordering his officials to do a good job in the management of refugees, and at the same time ordered the generals to prepare for an attack to drive these Huns out of the land of Wuyuan.

After the order of the governor, all the subordinate officials left in a hurry, ready to start doing what they had to do. After Du Zhan dealt with these things, he was already in the treetops of the moon. Only then did Du Zan come to talk to Gao Ye: "Mingxi is back?" I have seen Fengxiao and learned about the Huns coming to fight the grass valley. Now that the arrangements have been made, this time I would like to thank Mingxi for reporting the news in time. ”

Gao Ye waved his hand and said: "The arrangement of Lord Taishou, whether it is to receive refugees or transfer troops, I have no opinion, but I just came back and found that in these five original cities, the guards are very loose, if the Huns suddenly attack, I am afraid that the city will be ruined." ”

"Hahaha, Mingxi is too worried, I think the Huns don't dare to attack my city. Anyway, they are still a vassal state of our Han Dynasty, usually fighting grass valleys, although the court is turning a blind eye, but if they hit the city pass, it will be like a rebellion, and then the court will have its own thunderous anger, how can they afford it? ”

"I don't think so, my grange, only twenty-five miles away from the county seat, but met the Hun cavalry, the northernmost village of my five plains is eighty miles away from the county seat, and there are eight hundred soldiers, if you usually hit the grass valley, suddenly attacked, there will always be wolf smoke, send one or two people to spread the message around, ask everyone to prepare early. But this time, I only went to my grange and was attacked, and I ran into it, so I knew that the Huns were coming, and I am afraid that this time the Huns were plotting greatly. Lord Taishou should still strengthen the city defense, and don't give the Huns a chance. ”

After listening to this, Du Zan also frowned, he was originally a literati, and he was not good at leading troops to fight, but listening to what Gao Ye said, it really made sense. But according to the usual, the Huns did not dare to attack Wuyuan City at all, and there were not many soldiers and horses in the city, if you want to strengthen the city defense, most of the soldiers have to stay to defend the city, and there are many people outside the city, but they were sent into the Huns' mouth in vain. And if there is really a large group of Huns to attack Wuyuan City, I am afraid that these people will not be able to hold it.

"Mingxi, you also know that my Wuyuan County originally only had one battalion of soldiers and horses, more than 2,000 people, and most of them were foot soldiers, only 300 cavalry. I have ordered all troops and horses to prepare to go out of the city to rescue, if the city defense is strengthened now, then the people outside the city will be in the mouth of the tiger. At that time, if the Huns did not attack Wuyuan City at all, you and I would not be able to escape the infamy of not being able to save you when you see death. ”

"Judging from what happened to me today, I'm afraid that the dozen or so villages in the north have been slaughtered by the Huns so far, if you want to send troops to rescue, then only cavalry can be used, but three hundred cavalry, if you meet the Huns, I'm afraid that they will be killed in vain. It is better to ask the people of all departments to cheer up and stabilize the defense of the city, at least the personnel who patrol and check every day must be careful and careful, and cannot be careless. On the other hand, they sent someone to ask Lord Thorn for help, so it could be safe. ”

"What Mingxi said is reasonable, I'll order someone to ...... it."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly heard a faint shout of killing coming from outside. I saw a servant running in in a panic and shouting, "My lord, my lord, it's not good, it's not good, my lord!" ”

"What happened?" Du Chan said in a deep voice.

"The Huns have come in! The Huns have come in. The servant spoke, touching the sweat from his head.

"Ahh How will it come in? Oh, that's bad. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Taishou, can you tell me how the military situation is now?" High Night Road.

"Now that the north gate has been broken, the military Sima Han Tong was killed in battle, Gao Junhou is leading a group of men and horses to fight at the north gate, the men and horses in the camp, Captain Wei ordered the remaining three men and horses to guard the other city gates, and he took the remaining men and horses to gallop to the north gate."

"This Wei lieutenant's arrangement is also decent, I will wait for this time to repel the Huns at the north gate first, and then discuss others." Gao Ye said with a smile, "Lord Taishou don't need to panic, the Huns are good at horse warfare, and now they suddenly attack the city gate, I'm afraid it's more because of the carelessness of the city guards." When it comes to street fighting, infantry is far superior to cavalry. Besides, there are a lot of bows and crossbows in Wuyuan City, and it should not be a big problem for Gao Sima to block the Huns with 400 people, and Captain Wei has already gone there, and the Huns will not be able to enter this Wuyuan City tonight. Now the plan is to send people to move the rescuers. ”

"Yes, but since the Huns have attacked secretly, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not ambush around and rob and kill the person who delivered my letter. This messenger is hard to find. Besides, Jinyang Road is far away, but I am afraid that before this rescue arrives, my Wuyuan City will be ruined. ”

"It doesn't matter, this matter of sending the letter will be handed over to me, and Lord Taishou will start to write the letter, and I will go back and put on my armor, take my weapon, and then come and get the letter, and then I will go out of the south gate and go straight to Jiuyuan. Now that Lu Fengxian is training troops in Jiuyuan, I will go to him to move troops, and it will be there soon. ”

"Okay, good, so good, I'll write it now, and Mingxi will get it in a while."

Gao Ye said, then got up and left, and when he was about to walk to the door, he said: "Brother Guo Jia, resourceful, very good at using soldiers, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao are both skilled in bowing and horses, I will bring him three here in a while to help the adults defend the city." ”

"That's very good." Du Chan nodded.

Gao Ye hurriedly returned to the mansion, and above the lobby, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were all wearing helmets and armor, and when they saw Gao Ye coming in, they all had angry faces.

"These Huns are really hateful, they actually attacked at night, big brother, should we go out and kill all those Hun dogs?" Zhao Ye said angrily. Although Zhang Liao didn't speak, the expression on his face said it all.

"I have already told the governor Taishou, let the three of you go to him to obey his orders, now I don't know how many Huns are coming outside, plus there are few soldiers in these Wuyuan cities, I will kill them and go to Jiuyuan to find Lu Fengxian to move troops. The three of you will help you defend the city, and if you can hold out for three days, reinforcements will arrive. ”

"Good! Now I'll go to the north gate and kill these Hun dogs. ”

"No, the north gate is settled, and in my opinion, there will be no more fighting tonight, but I don't know what tomorrow will bring. Okay, I'll go change my clothes, and then the three of you will go with me to the Taishou Mansion. ”

"Yes."

Gao Ye immediately changed into a battle armor, took the phoenix wings and gold boring, stepped on the shadow, and returned to the Taishou Mansion with Guo Jia and the three of them. ”

"No need, the attack on the south gate is just for show, they think that if they attack the south gate, the messenger will not dare to go, I just want to go, and if I take them by surprise, it will be easier to rush out. Lord Taishou doesn't have to worry about me, I will hand over Fengxiao, Zilong and Wenyuan to you to help you defend the city. But hold on for three days, and I will return with reinforcements. ”

"Mingxi be careful all the way!"

After that, Du Chan made a big bow to Gao Ye, Gao Ye sat on the horse and accepted this salute, and arched his hand to Du Zan and said, "I'll go now." After that, he beat his horse and left, and went straight to the south gate, where the guards had already received the order of the Taishou and hurriedly left the city at night. The Huns outside the city suddenly saw the city gate open, and a person came out, who couldn't hold back for a long time and killed them directly.

Nonsense, their task was to intercept the messenger, but I didn't expect to feint the south gate, and there were messengers who dared to go from here, and they really didn't treat our Hun warriors as people, which asked you to taste our power.

When Gao Ye went out of the city gate, he stood in front of the city gate until the city gate was completely closed, and then he rushed forward. Originally, the city gate was only opened by a crack, and it naturally didn't take much time to close it. It's just that a group of Huns came in front, which really made Gao Ye's brows furrow. I thought I could take advantage of it and run out directly, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would have to fight. Kill it, kill it, only the long sword in the morning in the hand, still not afraid, now in the palm of the gold boring, crotch shadow horse, these public faces, in addition to being harvested, what other fate?

As soon as the two armies clashed, no, it was Gao Ye and a group of Hun cavalry, and I don't know how Gao Ye moved, as if it was an understatement, the two Huns fell off their horses. From the encounter and separation, Gao Ye did not suffer the slightest injury on his body, but the Huns had fallen dozens of them. Gao Ye fought his way out of the encirclement, and without looking back, he rushed straight in the direction of Jiuyuan. And the Huns behind him have long been shocked by Gao Ye's martial arts, where do they dare to chase.

In Wuyuan City, the Huns at the north gate were finally driven out of the city under the hard work of officers and soldiers. As for Captain Wei and Marquis Gao, they were already scarred, but they still arranged defense and returned to Taishou Mansion to resume their lives. The atmosphere in the Taishou Mansion was really heavy, and Du Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the enemy had retreated at the north gate, and then realized that the two generals were already scarred.

Du Chan hurriedly summoned the medical officer to come and bandage the two men, and asked them for their views on the current situation. If Gao Ye is here, he will be surprised, because the captain surnamed Wei is Wei Xu, one of the eight captains under Lu Bu's account later, and the one who later tied up Lu Bu and surrendered to Cao Cao; And this Gao Junhou is the famous Gao Shun in later generations, who single-handedly practiced the trapping camp of the world, and later Lu Bu died in Baimenlou, Gao Shun did not surrender to Cao Cao, and followed Lu Bu to the Ghost Gate Pass.

It's just that these two people are also not famous now, and maybe except for Gao Ye, no one knows the fame of the two of them at all.

Hearing Du Zhan's inquiry, Wei Xu thought for a while and replied: "The Huns' attack this time was to catch us off guard, if it weren't for Gao Junhou leading his troops to resist, I'm afraid that this Wuyuan City would have been broken." But now we have been prepared, although there are only more than 1,600 soldiers, but the Huns have never been good at attacking cities, and it should be no problem to defend the city. ”

"Yes, although the Huns are brave, they are also on horseback, if you talk about attacking the city, without twenty times the number of troops, it is difficult to succeed." Gao Shun also said.

"Besides, there are still people in my city, and as a last resort, I can mobilize the people to defend the city together, so we can wait for reinforcements." Wei continued.

"I have sent Gao Ye out of the city, to find Lu Fengxian for help, want to come reinforcements are just around the corner, we should try our best to defend the city, Wei Xu, Gao Shun's department suffered heavy casualties, Jun Sima and another military marquis were killed, I will be promoted to Jun Sima, Wei Xu You will match this man and horses to defend the north gate. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, you two are still young, and be my personal soldiers. ”

"No." Wei Xu, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao replied together.

"Okay, Wei Xu, Gao Shun, you two fought all night, go and rest first, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Guo Jia, the three of you will check the city defense with me. Thinking about tomorrow, if the Huns do not retreat, then there will be a big war. ”

"No." The five of them replied in unison.

Wei Xu and Gao Shun went straight back to the barracks, Wei Xu also had to add men and horses to Gao Shun's department, all of which were drawn from the other three gates, after all, there were no soldiers to defend the north gate, and although the other three Sima were a little dissatisfied with their manpower reduction, these were insignificant compared to guarding the north gate.

Du Zan took the three people straight to the north gate of the city tower, only to see the Huns outside the city actually set up camp, in the camp under the reflection of the bonfire, Du Zan just hurriedly counted, and his heart was half cold. According to what he saw, just one north gate is enough for 10,000 Huns, and I don't know what the situation is at the other gates, if there are 10,000 more horses, this city will be difficult to defend. I originally hoped that the Huns would not attack the city, and then retreated, who knew that they actually set up camp, it seems that this is bound to win the city of Wuyuan. In such a situation, I can only hope for the rescuers who moved with Gao Ye and him, but ...... Let's not talk about whether Gao Ye can kill it, even if he kills it, sees Lu Bu and comes back with his troops, is he and this Wuyuan City still there at that time?

Gao Ye, I just hope your rescue arrives soon, otherwise, I will be with you forever!
