Chapter 12: A Miscalculation

Compared with the dawn, looking at the Hun camp outside the city from the city tower, the view became clearer and clearer, and Du Zan felt that he had expected it last night, and the Huns really came to no more than 10,000 people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info At least judging by the way they put it up. The sun had just risen, but it was already getting bright. Du Zhan didn't feel like he was holding the sword at his waist, and he felt that life had never been so difficult.

The Huns lined up under the city, and the soldiers defending the city stood on the city wall, and the two sides faced each other like this, and the whole battlefield was really quiet at this time, and I am afraid that even the sound of a needle could be heard. In the middle of the day, a military general finally came out of the camp of the Huns, raised his sword and shouted: "Han dog quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise grandpa I will kill it, and you will be called Wuyuan City chicken dog will not stay!" ā€

After all the people in the city listen to it, who will take his words seriously? After all, it is now the Han Dynasty, not the Great Song Dynasty, which suffered from the Jingkang Revolution, nor the ignorant and backward Manchu Qing, as a Han Chinese, how can he casually surrender to foreigners?

This Xiongnu general saw that there was no movement in the city, and naturally expected it, if the city was really opened to surrender, it would be a miracle in the world. Therefore, after shouting, the horse walked back into the formation. However, at the time of a stick of incense, another Hun general came out to shout, and after shouting, he returned to the battle. This went back and forth four or five times, but there was no sign of a siege. Even Du Zhan couldn't help but wonder, what was the situation?

Du Zan turned around and asked Wei Xu: "Captain Wei, this Huns have been persuading to surrender all morning, but there is no sign of attacking the city, but why?" ā€

"Back to my lord, I don't know about this general... However, it is always good not to attack the city, and now that there are few soldiers in our city, we can only wait for help, and if they don't attack the city, we will have a lot more time. ā€

A crisp sound of "bang" interrupted a few people who spoke, it turned out to be another Hun who persuaded him to surrender under the city, but before he could speak, he saw a person dressed too well, with his back to himself, and said in his heart, Isn't this a good opportunity? I have the ability to wear Yang in a hundred steps, at this time, this Taishou has his back to himself, this arrow goes out, his bow is fast, and the surrounding guards will definitely not have time to block, shoot Taishou to death, and it is not to be caught? Then he released the dark arrow, who knew that on the city, although Zhang Liao was also listening to everyone's discussions, but he always paid attention to the situation under the city, only to see an arrow flying, Zhang Liao immediately drew his sword and blocked the arrow.

When Du Zan heard the sound, he turned around and saw that Zhang Liao was collecting his sword, and the arrow had been broken into two and fell on the city wall. It's a loss to have this Zhang Liao, otherwise I would have to settle the account here today, and I can't help but feel angry. It's just that Du Zan hasn't had a seizure yet, and Zhao Yun on the side scolded the city first: "Brave bandits, hidden arrows hurt people!" Eat me with an arrow! "Let's just put a bow and an arrow.

Du Zhan wanted to have a seizure, but was preempted by Zhao Yun, and he was very unhappy after listening to Zhao Yun's words. You release the arrow, you tell him what you are going to do with the arrow? Now that he is on guard, how can he shoot to death? Just as he was about to speak, he only heard the sound of the bowstring, and then there was a scream under the city, only to see that the person who released the arrow was pierced through the brain by Zhao Yun's arrow, fell off the horse when he landed, and died tragically on the ground.

The guards on the city, seeing that Zhao Yun was mighty, shot the enemy general with an arrow, and they all shouted, they were all waiting for the battle all morning, physically and mentally exhausted, and their morale was low.

I saw another general running out of the Hun formation, shouting loudly: "Boy, dare to shoot my eldest brother, dare to go down to the city to fight with me!" ā€

After hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately asked Du Zan for his life and went out of the city to fight. Du Zan said in his heart, this Zhao Zilong is Gao Ye's sworn brother, if he goes out of the city and dies, it is not good to explain to Gao Ye, so he has to refuse. Wei Xu even said: "I know that this person is the Xiongnu Right Xian King's account of the Hun Danghu Mu, quite brave, when I came to Wuyuan to fight the grass valley before last, I had fought with him, and I was on par with me." ā€

Gao Shun also said: "Yesterday, this person led troops to attack the north gate, and Han Sima died under his hands. ā€

When Du Zan heard this, he felt that he couldn't let Zhao Yun go down. If you say that Wei Xu is a person, his martial arts are still very high, although he is not as good as Lu Bu, but in the Bingzhou army, he can really be regarded as a master. This Zhao Yun is already young, but I am afraid that he will not be good at learning and art, and he will be defeated, or die in front of the battle, and the situation will become more and more unfavorable to him at that time.

Zhao Yun said: "My lord, now the enemy outside the city will fight, if you don't meet the enemy, I am afraid that it will hurt morale." In addition, he has been practicing martial arts with his eldest brother for a long time, so the thief should be able to cut him, and adults don't have to worry. ā€

After listening to this, Du Zan saw that Zhao Yun was strong in battle, and although Zhao Yun was still young, only ten years old, he was burly and as tall as himself. Besides, he also heard Gao Ye say that this brother of his own martial arts is not inferior to himself, so it is better to let him give it a try. He nodded and said, "Zilong be careful." So he asked Zhao Yun to bring two hundred men and horses out of the north gate. As soon as Zhao Yun came out, two hundred men and horses stood behind him, and he stepped forward, and the Hun general raised his sword and shouted: "Come and get your name!" ā€

Zhao Yun just replied coldly: "Changshan Zhao Zilong! After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly, and rushed forward, the Hun general has always been quite confident in his martial arts, thinking that even if he is among the generals under the right Xian Wang, he can also be ranked first, killing this hairy boy, should be like probing for things. How did he know that the knives and guns collided, and before Mu Na could react, he was stabbed under the horse by Zhao Yun.

After listening to Wei Xu's words, the people above the city thought that the city would have to fight for thirty or fifty he, but they didn't expect that only one of them would be stabbed to death by Zhao Yun. One by one, they couldn't help but grow their mouths, and even Zhang Liao was stunned. He knew the high level of Zhao Yun's martial arts, when he practiced martial arts, he couldn't go fifty rounds under Zhao Yun at all, this was still the case of Zhao Yun releasing water, but he didn't expect Zhao Yun to make a move just now, and he didn't even see how he made a move! Zhao Yun's martial arts are really terrifying.

Wei Xu, Gao Shun and Du Zan were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, who would have thought that a ten-year-old child would kill a general on a par with Wei Xu so easily?

But the soldiers in the city did not react so violently, they only knew that their junior general had killed the enemy's general, shouldn't they cheer loudly at this time?

Zhao Yun was also relaxed at this time, although he had just said impassionedly in the city, as if the enemy general was like a paper paste, but he had never fought in front of the battle, who knew what his strength was? Wei Xu and Gao Shun all said that this was a fierce general, how could he not be worried? However, this Hun general is nothing more than that, he just used Tai Chi to unload the strength of his knife, and then stabbed out with the phoenix spear taught by the master, and he hung up, and he really couldn't help fighting!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be arrogant, and immediately shouted at the Hun army: "Who else will send him to death?" Shouted three times in a row, the Hun camp was silent, Zhao Yun saw that no one came out to fight with it, when even if the troops were collected and returned to the city, the sound of gold was heard in the Hun array.

Seeing that although the Huns had withdrawn their troops, they had no intention of retreating, Du Zan just ordered everyone to be cautious, and he went back to the mansion to rest first. After all, after staying up all night, now as soon as the Huns retreated, fatigue immediately came to their heads.

But he said that Du Zan went back to his house to rest, and after a day and a night, he finally came to Jiuyuan and went straight to Lu Bu's camp. The two guards at the gate of the camp saw Gao Ye coming, so they stopped him and said, "Who is coming?" Don't you know that the barracks are important, and you can't trespass? ā€

Gao Ye immediately dismounted and said, "Quickly go and inform Master Lu, just say that Wuyuan Gao Ye came and asked him to send troops to help." ā€

The guard had already seen Gao Ye wearing a helmet and armor, and the horse he was riding was also a divine horse, and he was expected to be a captain general, and when he heard Gao Ye say this, he didn't slack off at the moment, and went directly to report.

After a while, I saw Lu Bu come out in person, and when he saw Gao Ye, he took Gao Ye's hand, and walked to the camp, saying as he walked: "I didn't expect to see Mingxi today, it's really a happy event, let's go, you and I will drink!" ā€

Gao Ye was held by Lu Bu, but he couldn't break free of his hand, so he had to follow and said: "Brother Fengxian, don't be busy drinking, I came today to ask Brother Feng for help." ā€

"Oh? What happened? ā€

"The Huns came to Wuyuan to fight the grass valley this year, who would have thought that they would actually attack Wuyuan City. Last night, when I broke out of the siege, although the Huns had broken through the north gate, they were repulsed, and I thought that they were attacking the city at this time. Gao Ye's thought was bad, the Huns had already died down after being shot to death by Zhao Yun and stabbed to death.

"Brother Feng Xian wants to know that there is only one battalion of soldiers and horses in Wuyuan City, and the situation is critical, so Brother Feng Xian needs to send troops to help quickly."

When Lu Bu heard this, his face suddenly changed: "What a Hun man, I really treat my uncle as nothing!" Mingxi, don't panic, I'll beat the drum and gather the generals. After that, he dragged Gao Ye to the big tent and ordered him to beat the drums and gather the generals. With only a cup of tea, all the generals gathered in the big tent.

Lu Bu didn't give an order, he pulled Gao Ye first, and introduced to everyone in the tent: "This is Naibu's friend, Wuyuan Gao Ye, the word Mingxi, is my father's friend's high apprentice, and his martial arts are extraordinary, and he is not on par with me. ā€

Gao Ye didn't dare to say anything, Lu Bu introduced Song Xian and Hou Cheng generals to Gao Ye one by one, and after everyone saw the salute, Lu Bu said: "The Huns are rude, attack my Wuyuan county town, Mingxi is here to ask for help, I intend to send troops immediately, go to help Wuyuan, and wait for immediate preparation, and send troops tomorrow." ā€

The generals gave up their promises and went out of the tent. Gao Ye also knew that when the troops were dispatched, there were many affairs, and it would be the best result to be able to send troops tomorrow.

After the generals left, Lu Bu left Gao Ye together, talking in the tent, asking about the enemy's situation. It's just that Gao Ye has been fighting all night, where do you know so much, you can only tell Lu Bu what you know, and say some of your own speculations. Lu Bu immediately ordered to send sentry agents to investigate the enemy's situation.

All the generals were preparing, and the afternoon was busy, and only Gao Ye was idle in the entire battalion, but at this time, the more idle, the more tormented his heart was. Although I also know that the soldiers and horses in Wuyuan City should be okay to hold on for three days, I always feel a little awkward in my heart, but I can't say where the awkwardness is.

Lu Bu also knew that Gao Ye's heart was like frying oil now, so he pulled Gao Ye to talk, and Gao Ye replied while thinking about what made him so uneasy.

In Wuyuan City, the Huns, who did not react for a day, greatly relieved the soldiers defending the city. After changing guards, they all found a nearby place to start resting. In the Taishou Mansion, Du Zhan was also full of joy, after all, the first day passed so smoothly, which can be regarded as a blessing. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others were all at the head of the city, inspecting the city defense, especially Zhao Yun, through today's performance, he really became a household name in Wuyuan City. Who can go into battle to kill the enemy at the age of eleven, and kill two enemy generals in seconds? Even if Huo Qu's illness was sick, didn't he only follow Wei Qing when he was seventeen years old?

Even Captain Wei said that even a little child can fight bravely to kill the enemy, can we big men retreat? Isn't it even as good as a child!

However, Guo Jia, who was in the Taishou Mansion, frowned after hearing what happened today, especially after hearing that the Huns did not attack the city in the afternoon. Du Zan was in a good mood, but after seeing Guo Jia's bitter face, he was also three points behind.

"Fengxiao, the defense of the city is so smooth today, why are you still worried?"

"My lord, I just think that today is too smooth, but something is wrong."

"Why, could it be that the Huns want us to let our guard down and make another surprise attack at night? It should be no problem, Captain Wei and the others are carefully inspecting the city defenses, and if they want to attack suddenly, they can't help us. ā€

"But King Youxian brought so many men and horses to besiege Wuyuan City, my eldest brother killed last night, they must know, in this case, why didn't they attack the city, don't you know that the longer the time, the greater the possibility of reinforcements suddenly coming? It is impossible for the right virtuous king of the Huns to be so incompetent. ā€

"Guess, it's to make siege equipment outside the city?"

"No, there aren't many people in my city, even if he is not good at attacking cities, he shouldn't attack them all at once! What's more, the Huns were nomadic people, how could there be many craftsmen who could help them build siege equipment? ā€

"Yes, the Huns are not my Han people, and what they do naturally cannot be based on the Han people."

"It's broken!" Guo Jia suddenly shouted. Straight Du Zhan was taken aback.

"What's the matter, I'm surprised."

"I've been thinking wrong since I met the Huns yesterday! We all think that the Huns are my Han Chinese, and when we see that the city is going to be captured, it is broken, it is broken, it is broken! ā€

"What the hell is going on, you tell me clearly." Seeing Guo Jia flustered like this, Du Zan couldn't help but panic too, "If you don't make it clear, what's the use of shouting broken by yourself." ā€

"The Huns didn't want to attack my Wuyuan City at all. Their targets were the villages south of our Gohara. They were originally here to fight the Grass Valley, and after the battle was completed, the north side naturally had to fight the south side! ā€

"No, but yesterday the Huns were clearly desperately attacking the city, and they almost couldn't hold the north gate."

"That's because yesterday he saw that the guards in my city were lax, so he sneaked up on the north gate, and he naturally made a lot of money when he beat it, and there was no loss if he couldn't beat it."

"More than 1,000 Hun corpses were left at the north gate, isn't this a loss?"

"The grass valley is because the winter is unbearable, the grain and grass are not enough, and a thousand Huns have died, which will only make the rest of the people better to survive the winter! The right virtuous king must have left his headquarters to besiege Wuyuan City, and sent his men to ride around to plunder. My eldest brother went to move the rescue troops, thinking that it was noon today, and the troops could be sent tomorrow, and the cavalry of the brigade, even if they arrived, it would be tomorrow evening, when the Huns had already completed the looting and returned to the steppe Gobi, I couldn't catch up, but I was afraid that they would have to retreat with their whole division! Only a devastated Wuyuan County was left for us to clean up. ā€

After listening to Du Zhan, he was also sweating like rain, and the whole person no longer had the slightest joy, in Du Zhan's opinion, Guo Jia's analysis was not only reasonable, it was simply too reasonable! Otherwise, why would the Huns besiege Wuyuan City? Otherwise, why did the Huns just besiege and not attack? Good calculation, good strategy! Among the Huns, there is also such a talent?

When the sky was bright, Du Zan returned to the city wall, and sure enough, he saw the Hun cavalry coming and going, most of them were men and horses returning from the camp, but there were not many cavalry who went out. When Du Zan saw this, he knew that Guo Jia's expectations were good, and this time he really planted a big heel. When Wei Xu and the others came, Du Zan told them Guo Jia's words, and sure enough, the joy on a person's face that had seen the Huns retreating turned to bitterness and anger. Who would have thought that he was trying his best to think about how to defend the city, but he didn't expect to be played by the Huns who thought that they were not good at intelligence?

The same thing happened to Gao Ye. When Gao Ye and Lu Bu led the men and horses to Wuyuan, they saw many villages that had been looted and killed. Gao Ye understood the whole story almost instantly. Holding back his dizzy head, he explained everything to Lu Bu, and then a mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground. Lu Bu supported Gao Ye and didn't say much, only one sentence: "Mingxi, don't worry, watch me kill the grassland, give you anger, and avenge these dead people!" ā€
