Chapter 71: Who said that Hu people have no brains
(a)
Urian was very sure in his heart that his sister didn't hate or like Ag much, or rather, he didn't have any feelings for Ag at all. But the entire Donghu, including the king, knew that Sister Lu Dao had already set Ah Ge as her husband, and if someone openly killed her husband, she could not spare this person anyway, otherwise, the power of the customs of the Donghu people could not spare her, and the power of this custom was something that even the king did not dare to touch. Therefore, a thousand people in Urian's heart wanted to kill Agg, but he didn't dare to do it. Now, God has done it for him. He has prayed in his heart many times, prayed sincerely, great god, please let Ag die, but don't let it go away. A Donghu woman who has died of her husband can remarry, but the disappearance of her husband is not the same as death, if a woman remarries, she will betray her husband and will be beaten to death by stones!
So Urian now hopes to find Agg's body, and don't let Ag come back alive!
The second happy event is that he finally took the initiative. Since the first battle of Suizhong, he has been extremely passive, recently fled all the way, he felt embarrassed to run again, and now, he finally found a good opportunity to turn defeat into victory. Of course, the emergence of this good opportunity is absolutely related to Moyghur.
Mowuer took the initiative to ask for the empress, but he clashed with the Han army many times, but he didn't see Wei Changfeng at all, let alone the banner of Wei Changfeng's unit. At first, Urian just reprimanded Moyur, telling him not to take personal revenge too seriously, you Moyer can take revenge without your life, but please go yourself, don't burden the good sons and daughters of Donghu. However, just as he retreated closer to Xingcheng, he suddenly figured it out.
Why has there been no flag of Wei Changfeng's unit? The Han army chased all the way, chasing the cavalry with infantry, it is impossible to always have a force in front of the front, in fact, the commander of the Han army is indeed obviously in rotation, today's team is in the front, tomorrow's team is in the front, all the Han army flags have appeared at least twice, but there is no flag of Wei Changfeng's team, what does this mean? This shows that that team is not in the pursuit force of the Han army at all!
The next question is: where will that group not be in the pursuit force of the Han army? When Urian thought about this problem, he suddenly realized that in Jianchang, the Han army had a lot of cavalry troops, but now that they have escaped all the way, those cavalry units have not found it, where are these cavalry?
I have to say that although Urian is not a very smart person, he is not a stupid person, he immediately asked his subordinates to unfold the map, and after only looking at it for half an hour, he was sure that there must be a force of the Han army passing through the dense forest, intending to intercept them!
So he immediately sent a scout horse to investigate, and the result of the investigation was: a Han army suddenly launched an attack from the north of Xingcheng and occupied Xingcheng in one fell swoop, but the number was not large, that is, about 3,000 people, and there was a force of at least tens of thousands of people, and there were a large number of cavalry, miraculously through the dense forest, and were assembling in the south of Xingcheng.
Ullian quickly understood the current situation: an army occupied Xingcheng and cut off his way back, and a force flanked him, as long as he was entangled, Zhu Ling's large army attacked behind, and he died without a place to be buried.
Fortunately, with the blessing of the god Tiehe, he found it early, and now he has two choices: attack Xingcheng, or attack the cavalry units of the Han army. If he chooses the former, he will be entangled under Xingcheng as long as he moves slowly, and then ...... I'm afraid that the gods will also close their eyes. So he decided that the whole army would cross Xingcheng and attack the Han cavalry troops.
Of course, it is indeed a pity to do this, because his original goal was Xingcheng, and he was almost under Xingcheng City, after all, his troops are now sleepy and lacking horses, retreating into Xingcheng, and it is the safest way to defend the city without entanglement with any Han army, but he agrees with this method, does the Han army guarding Xingcheng agree? So he could only take a little risk to defeat the troops who volleyed him from the flank, and it was safer to fight in the field than to siege the cityβat least for the Donghu people.
"Let's go and investigate," he ordered lazily, "to see if the Han army in Xingcheng has any plans to attack." He knew in his heart that the Han army in Xingcheng could not have plans to attack, even if it was crazy, it was impossible, but it was impossible to take it for granted when marching and fighting, so he also had to explore, not to mention, what if he was tired and found Age's body on the way to investigate?
As a result of the investigation, the Han army did not plan to go out of the city, but the next news made him a little dizzy: the south gate of Xingcheng was wide open, and there were no defenders in the city, only one general stood at the head of the city. From the city gate, there is not a single soldier on the streets of the city, only dozens of ordinary people cleaning the streets.
Urian was stunned for a moment.
What is this? Planning a treat? He thought and thought, and finally, a smile crept up the corner of his mouth.
"The whole army stops advancing!" He issued the order, "Turn around, attack Xingcheng!" β
This order went down, and the first to oppose it was Moygur. Mowu felt that he should have a say in front of Urian now, not only because he had discovered the Han army's scheme, but also because Urian had privately promised him that if Ag was killed, Mowu could be promoted to the rank of Captain. So as soon as he heard this order, Mowur hurriedly rushed to Urian and opened his mouth to the point: "Little Sage King, why do you want to attack Xingcheng?" This is different from our original plan! β
(b) "Of course it's different. Urian replied leisurely, "The current order is to storm the city." β
Moyer snorted. He knew that Urian was making fun of him, but at this time, where did Urian get so much leisure? "Didn't we say it?" Mowu could only ignore Urian's bitterness and continued, "It's better to attack the city than to attack the interception troops of the Han army!" β
"That was before." Urian still replied unhurriedly, he didn't look down on Moyur, but his order was indeed too different from the original, he was explaining to Moyur, and he was also explaining to other generals, "Now, the gate of Xingcheng is open, and we can take it." β
Moul looked at Urian in disbelief. What's the matter, how long has it been since King Xiaoxian eaten? Hungry and faint? "King Xiaoxian, what cave did they open the city gate for? It's their ruse! Although Moyer knew that Urian might still be making fun of him, he could only explain it.
Urian sighed. If it weren't for the fact that he was too lazy to spit on a simple-minded guy like Moyer, who had developed limbs and had a simple mind, he had to say it in detail, not only to answer Moygur: "Commander Moyur," Urian emphasized the "Commander-in-Chief", reminding Moyer not to go overboard, or ...... You're also a commander of thousands, "The Han army only has 3,000 people defending the city, do you think they will get more troops north of Xingcheng?" Do you think that if they lure us into the city, they can destroy our 40,000 men with 3,000 men? Do you think that if we have entered the city gates, they will be able to hold on for even half an hour? β
Mour's face grew longer and longer as Urian said "what do you think", he knew that Urian's reasons could not be refuted, but he felt that something was wrong, and he believed in this feeling, which had made him see through the enemy's plot more than once. "What if they close the gates while we attack?" Mowur also asked rhetorically.
"Then I'll leave five thousand men behind," Urian was sure of this, "these five thousand men will wait two miles outside the city, and the rest of the troops will turn around and defeat the Han army that is intercepting us." β
"Why don't you send 5,000 people to attack Xingcheng now?" Moyer thought he had caught Urian's handle.
"Because that would take time." Urian replied calmly, "We attack with the whole army, it won't take half an hour to take Xingcheng, and then, we can safely attack the Han army, even if we can't win for a while, we can calmly return to Xingcheng, if I only send 5,000 people to attack, maybe this side did not take Xingcheng, and that side is entangled with the Han army, at that time, I will regret thinking like you and missing the opportunity." Urian sarcastically mocked Moyer again.
Seeing that all his problems had been resolved by Urian, Mowuer had to throw out the last question: "Since opening the city gate is harmful to the Han army, why should they do this?" β
This question is indeed sharp enough, but this is the first question that Urian thinks about after learning that the gate of Xingcheng City is open, so he replied without hesitation: "It's a self-righteous scam." Their troops have basically withdrawn from Xingcheng, and if my guess is correct, their main force has quietly gone to join up with the Han army that intercepted us, which has strengthened its strength and not so that the whole army will not be surrounded in Xingcheng. If I were the commander of the Han army, I would definitely do it. Of course, there must be some brave soldiers in Xingcheng disguised as if the whole army was still there, so that we would not find that the number of defenders in the city was greatly reduced, and that we would hesitate to attack, they had to choose this way. Now, didn't they just fool my Moygur commander? Isn't he against my attack on Xingcheng? He looked at Moyur's stunned face and smiled: "Commander Moygur, do you think I guessed wrong?" Or do you still have a question that you don't understand? β
Moyer could only silence. In fact, he still has another question, that is: Why do I still feel wrong now? But of course, there is no way to ask this question. He could only think that he had really become stupid, and at least Urian's explanations were reasonable. "The last general asks to be the first to enter the city gate!" Moygur said.
Urian sneered inwardly. Be the first to enter the gates? Moyur, do you really think that I am so blue-eyed to you, and all the honor should belong to you? It's obvious that there is no danger in this way, so you might as well let it go.
"I don't want my warriors to die on the battlefield." Urian snorted, "This time, Commander Moyur, you can rest in the backline." β
