Chapter 85: The Battle of Yanmen (2)

Li Mu's efforts were not in vain, and his appearance bought a whole day for the soldiers defending the city. During the day, in order to deal with Li Mu on the periphery, the Xiongnu army did not attack the city, and the Zhao army was temporarily able to rest; That day and night, nearly 100 elite Xiongnu warriors secretly climbed the Shanwu city wall and easily assassinated the soldiers guarding the gate, trying to steal the city gate to let the Xiongnu army outside the city enter the city. Fortunately, the general Yingling happened to patrol the city gate at night, and narrowly discovered the existence of this small elite enemy army, sounded the alarm bell in time and fought hard with the enemy, so that the enemy's sneak attack plan fell short. The only regret is that General Heroic died at the last moment.

On the tenth day of September, the Xiongnu army launched another strong attack. In the afternoon, the arrows in the city were exhausted, and the defenders of the city had to watch the Hun army approaching forward, or constantly climbing the city wall, or constantly hitting the city gate with rushing cars, or standing in the chariots and constantly shooting arrows to suppress.

The casualties of the Zhao army became more and more serious, and the Xiongnu were able to gain a firm foothold in some areas, but fortunately, the north led more than 1,000 soldiers to rescue Fang and held out until nightfall. At the last moment of the battle, the poor Huns resorted to their last resort - spreading rumors. Rumors say that the food and grass in the city are exhausted, and the officials and wealthy families are planning to escape. On that day, the Zhao army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, while the Xiongnu army also suffered more than 6,000 casualties.

On September 11, the situation inside and outside the city suddenly seemed to become a little strange. For a whole morning, the Hun army outside the city was quiet, as if they had forgotten the war; At the same time, the soldiers who defended the city did not wait for their breakfast for a whole morning, and the local nobles who often appeared on the battlefield to comfort them seemed to disappear overnight, and Heian, the lord of the book, who had always fought with them, did not appear on the city wall for the first time. "It seems that everything confirms the truth of the rumors!" That's what everybody thought.

At noon, the general Dibei, burdened with the ardent hopes of the soldiers, found the main book in the treasury of Zen Castle. "The food and grass are exhausted, and there is no difficulty in protecting the good, let the soldiers protect the people and escape!" Ping An raised his head and looked at Dibei, and said with a trembling mouth.

"Why did you run out of food and grass so quickly? Isn't it said to be available for half a year? Dibei glanced at the empty granary and asked sternly.

"Yan Junshou and the Handan Hao clan have joined forces to resell grain and grass, and the storage of the good grain depot has long existed in name only, and all the grain stored has been exhausted the day before yesterday, and the grain consumed yesterday was donated by the local wealthy family." Ping An choked and paused, and then continued: "Today, our army is suffering heavy losses, arrows are dead, and victory is hopeless, so the Hao clan is unwilling to donate grain and grass anymore, and they are all looking for their own way out with the sons and nephews of the clan!" ”

Hearing this, Dibei suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder I can't see many generals of the Chengbei battalion who fought side by side in the past today!" ”

"Lord Li Mu's 5,000 reinforcements are now in the rear of the Hun army, you can take advantage of the chaos in the afternoon to flee to serve him!" Ping An smiled bitterly, and then continued: "Remember to follow him and fight back to avenge me!" ”

"Master, come with me! I should be able to protect you and fight your way out! Dibei felt the belief of peace and death, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"No need, I'm the leader elected by the people of Shanwu City, I can't abandon them and run away alone!" Ping An said with a resolute expression: "I will fight with them until the last moment!" ”

"Beidi Chronicles" contains: Shanwu City was broken by the Huns, the wealthy families took advantage of the chaos to flee, only Ping An led the army to fight to the death with the enemy for a long time, and the **** was **** in the treasury, and the descendants were grateful to build a shrine to sacrifice, and the incense was endless.

Billowing smoke was rising from the city in the distance, and Li Muxin, who was wandering around the periphery of the Hun army, was anxious. Where is the place where he once struggled, where he swore to guard, where he left his voice and smile, and now the people there are suffering, and he can't help them, you can imagine how bad Li Mu's mood is.

"I'm going to save them, even if it's only one person, otherwise I don't have the face to see them again!" After a difficult choice, Li Mu said with a firm expression.

"General, I need to warn you that this decision of yours is too emotional!" Hearing this, the adjutant calmly spoke: "The operation to rescue civilians is likely to cause us to lose a large number of elites, which is obviously not worth the loss!" ”

"I understand your words, but there should always be something in a person's life that can be pursued at any cost, and the friendship of the people of Shanwucheng is my kind of thing!" Li Mu said with a serious sigh: "Are you willing to follow me to save those who are suffering?" ”

"As long as the general gives the order, even if it is to go to the soup, the last general will not give up!" The adjutant still said with a cold and serious expression.

"Then come with me!" Li Mu said with a resolute face: "Follow me to see what the real war is like!" ”

At the time of Shen, 5,000 elite cavalry interspersed between the combined units of more than 10,000 Xiongnu troops, and rushed into the Xiongnu camp in an unstoppable state. At this time, most of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Xiongnu camp had poured into Shanwu City, so Li Mu was able to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to reach Shanwu City.

Passing through the South City Gate, what unfolds in front of you is a hell on earth. Bodies were abandoned on the road, houses were in danger, and the savage Huns snatched the money of others and killed them when the Zhao resisted. "When you encounter these brutes, you don't have to have mercy, kill them immediately!" Li Mu slashed to death a Hun with 10,000 dollars in his pocket, and said ruthlessly.

The many cavalrymen who followed behind Li Mu were all angry when they heard this, and then scattered in all directions according to Li Mu's orders before departure. "Half an hour, only half an hour!" Li Mu glanced over and said helplessly to the adjutant beside him: "How many people can be rescued depends on them!" ”

"General, you're wrong! They are not the only ones who have saved the people, but we are the ones who have saved them! The adjutant said with a sad and indignant face: "Zhao Min in the world, all are one family, insult me Zhao Min, I will humiliate him!" ”

"Zhao Min in the world is all one family!" Li Mu repeated it and praised: "That's good! ”

At four o'clock, more than 3,000 cavalry escorted nearly 10,000 rescued people to the north city gate. They are about to embark on the road to escape from hell on earth, but what awaits them in front of them, no one knows.
