Chapter 153: The Siege Begins

When the dawn sun shone on the land of Shenzhou again, Hucheng Taishou Sun He's heart was not very good, everything was as he analyzed, Cai Yong's clansmen began to pour into his Taishou Mansion in groups, and there were some people in Hucheng who also heard that the Huns had invaded the territory and provoked with vicious language.

Sun He stood at the door of the Taishou Mansion, and the guards with wooden sticks struggled to form a human wall to prevent those who were agitated from acting excessively.

Sun He kept gesticulating, trying to appease them, "Everyone, since I, Sun He, am too guarded for this place, I will never do anything to make the people here suffer, and I hope you go back, don't fall for the tricks of the Huns!" ”

One of the Cai Yong people shouted loudly: "You incompetent official, you let the group of Huns from other places shout and scold, but you refuse to fight!" ”

A white-haired old man also stood in the crowd, knocking on the ground with a stick, his face flushed with excitement, and he said again and again: "Ah, when I was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the two generals Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing were so heroic, driving directly to the hinterland of the desert, and the Huns who killed them never dared to approach my border again. ”

"This ......" Sun Huanyi made a difficulty, but still insisted on explaining: "At present, the country's fortunes are declining, is it my sin?" What the official can do is only the safety of Baoer and the others, if the foolish people such as Er don't listen to me, I am afraid that the enemy army will break the city and slaughter the people, and the official will not be able to do anything! ”

"You actually say that we are foolish people, we are all courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and now the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is sitting in Hongnong County, is Hucheng a county in Hongnong County? In the past, we insisted on leaving this city and rescuing the girl Wenji who was taken away by King Zuoxian, but this person obstructed it in every possible way, and sent troops to stop it. This time, don't want me to listen to you again! ”

In the crowd, the people said a few words, and they all asked Sun He to open the city gate and go out of the city to find the enemy for a decisive battle.

Sun He was helpless and spread his arms. Yang Tian sighed: "Today's Han has fallen to this point, it is really not my sin, I would rather be spurned and insulted by you today, and I categorically refuse to do what you say, I just hope that future generations will not use my grandson as a small official, and ridicule me as a person who is immoral and incompetent!" ”

When the people in the city were in turmoil, outside the city, Zhao Yue ordered his corporal to lurk in the woods not far away, just waiting for the time to come. So he rushed into the city and occupied Huxian.

Xu Huang was on the order of Sun Huan to urgently deploy troops on the school field, because most of the soldiers in Hongnong County were concentrated in Hongnong City, and this time Wang Yun ordered two fronts to go out, which cost a lot of manpower. At this time, there were less than 5,000 soldiers and horses left in Huxian City, but Sun He didn't know the true number of enemy troops, so he only said that they were dispatched by the whole army, and it should be more than 10,000.

When the people saw Sun He, they seemed to have made up their minds and refused to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Huns. So they swarmed up and broke through the soldiers' blockade. wanted to attack Sun He, and even more dissatisfied people had already gone to the city gate together, claiming to do it themselves, open the city gate, and then go out of the city and die with the Huns.

It just so happened at this time. Xu Huang led the troops, he rode on a tall horse, carrying two big axes in his hands, and when he saw this, he shouted angrily: "Why are the people like this? is so disrespectful to his parents! ”

Sun He gritted his teeth and said: "General Gongming, there is no need to talk to them, there are Diao people who do not obey the orders of this official, and I hope that the general will directly raise the knife and kill him, which is also for the good of my big man!" ”

When the people heard this, they were furious, and they even fought with the officers and soldiers.

Although Xu Huang was loyal to his duties and obeyed his orders, but let him kill the civilians, he couldn't do it anyway, and when he was at a stalemate, he suddenly saw wisps of green smoke floating at the city gate, and some soldiers under his command ran over to report: "Report to Taishou, general, these rioters tried to open the city gate unsuccessfully, and set fire to the city not far from the city gate!" ”

Sun He said anxiously: "Quickly let the guards guarding the city also participate in the action of suppressing the chaotic people!" ”

However, it was said that Zhao Yue and his two thousand men were still waiting for the opportunity, and suddenly saw green smoke floating in the city, Zhao Yue calculated the timing in his heart, and it was not yet lunch time.

So, he stood up excitedly and said: "Great, the plan has been accomplished, give me an order to go down, attack the city quickly, don't care about the dead and wounded, just build a ladder, and you don't have to carry it!" ”

When the two thousand men and horses heard this, they hurriedly moved, and in only a few moments, they came from under the dense woods to the bottom of the lake city. The high ladder was pushed out, and the siege equipment that had been carried from Hangu Pass was now finally in handy.

"Rush!" The moment the cloud ladder touched the city wall, the soldiers under Zhao Yue's command all shouted out.

Zhao Yue wanted to be the first to climb the ladder, but he was "invited" to the side by the entourage around him, he could only watch them bite the dagger and climb the city tower first, and fight with the soldiers defending the city, and then he climbed up quickly.

Because of an order from Sun Huan, the soldiers who were originally defending the city ran to the city to suppress the so-called rebellious people, and the city gate of Hucheng, where there were few defenders, was even smaller at this time.

Soon, the news spread to the vicinity of the Taishou Mansion.

Here, the people of Hucheng, led by the Cai Yong people, had already fought with the guards of the government and the soldiers of the army, Xu Huang did not take matters into his own hands, but he did not prevent the soldiers under his command from controlling these people at a great distance from Sun He.

"Report, Taishou, there is an enemy army suddenly attacking the city, and most of them have already gone up to the city tower at this time!"

"What! Sun He was taken aback and asked dumbfounded, "How many people are there?" Come and attack the city at this time! ”

"At present, there are about a few hundred people who have climbed the city tower, and it is still increasing, and the people on our city gate not only have to deal with these chaotic people, but also have to deal with the soldiers who suddenly appeared, armed with weapons and well-trained, they are really overwhelmed, and we also hope that Taishou will send reinforcements!"

"What are they, Huns?" Xu Huang asked angrily, he was also extremely dissatisfied with the contents of the letter, and at this time he thought to himself that if the Huns came to attack, he must let the group of thieves see how powerful he was.

"No, it doesn't seem to be," the herald said, startling everyone, "they are dressed like us, and judging by the sound of their shouts, it seems to be ...... Luoyang, Zhao Yue's army! ”

After hearing this, Sun He was stunned at first, and then his face became distorted, he slapped his head hard, and suddenly realized: "It's not good, I'm really in the middle of the plan!" Alas, it was my dereliction of duty that I fell for Zhao Yue's scheme! General Xu Huang, no matter what, please immediately take the soldiers to the city gate to suppress it, and the people are persuaded by me! (To be continued.) )
