Chapter 6: The Fog

There was a brief silence inside and outside Beiliang City, but this tranquility was only a precursor before the storm, and the most tragic battles could break out at any time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The closed gates block everything outside the city, and Batuu's challenge!

Batu wanted to fight, but Xuanyuan Chen did not respond.

Is it cowardice, or disdain?

Batu and all the Jin soldiers would not doubt the courage of the King of Beiliang, so the other party's refusal to challenge him was that Batu was not qualified to fight him.

This was utter contempt, and the prestige of the first warrior of the steppe seemed to have become a joke in an instant.

However, Batu was not angry because of Xuanyuan Chen's contempt, his challenge was originally a strategy to attack the heart, and the opponent's refusal to fight was actually the best choice, which also proved that although the enemy was bloody, he was not a reckless person.

If you can't have a one-on-one duel, you can only use your strength to end this siege battle.

Batu was very patient, he did not immediately attack Beiliang City, but asked Azige to reorganize his troops and horses to restore morale, and at the same time lined up the siege equipment in the most conspicuous place outside the city, so that the Han army in the city could see it clearly, and at the same time realized that the walls of Beiliang City could no longer give them enough protection as they did a few days ago.

Attacking the heart is still attacking the heart, Batu wants to use the absolute superior strength to give the Han army Mount Tai overwhelming pressure, extinguish the high morale of the Han army, and shake the will of the Han army to defend the city.

This is a conspiracy, without the slightest cover-up, just to launch a general attack that can finally win in one battle.

Two days later, at dusk, the situation suddenly changed, and something strange seemed to have happened in Beiliang City.

According to the observation of the Jin soldiers on the lookout, the Han army in Beiliang City was demolishing the houses near the north gate and organizing the people to move towards the city.

When Azig learned about it, he wondered, "What's the matter?" Why did the Han army demolish the house? Did you see a trebuchet outside the city and want to make some simple shields out of the wood dismantled from the house? ”

Batu shook his head and said: "Don't say it's a wooden shield, even if the iron shield is hit by a stone thrown by a trebuchet, it is the result of death on the spot, and the Han army will not understand this truth." He frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "The whole army is vigilant, in case the Han army has any tricks."

The generals of the troops gave the order loudly, and one of them proposed: "Since the Han army has a trick, then our army might as well attack the city immediately, maybe we can fight the opponent's hypocrisy."

Batu's falcon-like eyes condensed slightly, he wanted to respond to all changes with the same, but the proposal of his subordinate generals made him feel that his mind might be too safe, after all, he had an absolute advantage in troops, and the initiative on the battlefield was completely in his hands, so it was not impossible to choose to launch a general attack at this time.

Aqige said in an impassioned tone: "Batu, our army has been prepared, and we can attack the city immediately." As soon as the words fell, the rest of the generals also echoed one after another, and their eyes flashed with a strong battle intent.

Batu didn't say anything, he did have the idea of attacking the city immediately, but when he heard the approval of Azig and the others, there was a trace of hesitation in his heart.

The sunset was almost hidden by the mountains, the night had already lifted, and the evening breeze in the distance gradually became stronger, and the wind blew through Batuu's face, with a bit of a chill to the bone.

Inadvertently, an ominous premonition coiled around Batu's heart, he is not a famous general who leads troops and has experienced a hundred battles, so he has no battlefield sense and inspiration, but as a powerful warrior, he has an instinctive intuition for danger, and this intuition has saved his life many times, and at this moment he once again has an intuition of danger.

However, in addition to feeling the danger, another thought flashed through his mind: Could that Xuanyuan Chen be a trick, what I want is that I have doubts, so I don't dare to attack Beiliang City easily?

Is it a real ruse, or is it a procrastination?

Batu hesitated, and after a long time, he took a deep breath and ordered: "Pass the order, kill pigs and sheep tonight, reward the three armies, and attack the city with all your strength early tomorrow morning!"

After much thought, Batu still trusts his instincts and strives for stability.

After all, attacking the city at this moment is a night battle, which is for the Jin army on the dominant side, the night battle is simply to increase the difficulty of attacking the city for themselves, not to mention that Batu really doesn't think that in just one night, the Han army in the city can play any exquisite means.

Seeing that Batu had made up his mind, Aqige and the others no longer persuaded too much, and they actually didn't have much worry about the changes in Beiliang City, but they were just curious.

Everyone knows very well in their hearts that no matter what conspiracy the enemy uses, as long as they fight steadily, there will not be too many mistakes, so it is only a matter of time before Beiliang City is captured.

Azige returned to his big tent, hugged the two plump female slaves and drank and had fun, the battle of Beiliangcheng has developed to this stage, the competition is the strength and patience of both sides, and he, the main general, no longer needs to spend too much thought.

Drinking a glass of wine on his back, Azig took a handful of the slave's full chest, causing a wave of prodigal laughter, but his eyes did not see much lewdness, but a little loneliness.

Azig was the chief general of the Jin army outside Beiliang City, but with the arrival of Batu, his command actually fell into the hands of the other party.

Batu is the most trusted guard commander of the Dajin lord Borjueluo, and he follows Borjueluo all the year round, and his attainments in the art of war are not below most leading generals.

Therefore, for Batu to be in charge of the battle of Beiliang City, Aqige did not have much rejection. But in this case, once Beiliang City is breached, then Azige's exploits will probably be divided by Batu, which makes him not disgraced.

Aqige sighed slightly in his heart, the successful attack a few days ago had already dissipated the spirit when he scared Xu Shijie away, but he finally had a beautiful woman by his side, which brought him a trace of comfort.

The two slave girls seemed to see that Azig was not in a very good mood, and they served them even more carefully, and Azig was aroused by their fiery desire after a while, and pulled one of them with one hand, and turned over and pressed the other party under him.

The tent was soon filled with the laughter of women and the low roars of men like beasts.

At the same time, as dusk drew to an end, the earth was still shrouded in a faint afterglow, and just as the night was about to fall and the twilight took over the whole world, the ground suddenly shook slightly!

Although the movement was small, Azige, who was enjoying the joy of fish and water, jumped up from the ground suddenly.

He pushed away the slave girl on his body, and there was no longer half of his desire on his face, grabbed the armor on the blanket, and shouted in surprise: "There are cavalry, and there are quite a few of them!"

After years of battlefield battles, Azige was very familiar with the sound of running horses, and his first reaction was that the Han army in Beiliang City launched a night attack, but this judgment was quickly overturned by himself.

The sound of the horse running did not approach quickly, but became weaker and weaker, and it was actually moving away.

Aqige's expression changed, he clenched his saber and ran out of the big tent, only to see Batu walking towards him, and said in a calm tone: "The scouts have found out the news, and hundreds of Han cavalry have rushed out from the south gate of Beiliang City."

The Han army wants to escape!

At this time, the generals in the Jin army camp had already gathered here, and after hearing what Batu said, they all thought that the Han army wanted to escape at night.

Azig thought the same, and immediately wanted to order the pursuit, but out of the corner of his eye, he found that Batu's eyebrows showed a little hesitation, and when the words came to his mouth, he stiffly returned to his stomach, and asked softly: "Batu, what's wrong?"

Batu didn't speak immediately, but set his eyes on Beiliang City, and said after a while: "Aqige, the ultimate goal of our army in this battle is to capture Beiliang City, not to annihilate the defenders in the city, so we adopted the tactic of encircling Beiliang City and deliberately letting go of the south gate.

The Han army fled, and Beiliangcheng was bound to be defeated.

However, there was no joy in Azige's eyes, he stepped forward and said to Batu with a look of resentment: "Batu, please allow me to lead a group of soldiers and horses to pursue the enemy."

Batu asked, "Aqige, do you want to arrest that Beiliang King?"

Azig didn't deny it, stared at Batu intently and said: "Batu, I almost died under the opponent's sword before the army, it can be said that I lost face, I hope you can give me a chance to be ashamed."

Batu glanced at Azig deeply, and said with a faint smile: "Aqige, we are brothers, how could I let you miss such an opportunity!"

Aqige bowed gratefully to Batu and said loudly: "I will definitely cut off the head of the King of Beiliang with my own hands!" After saying that, he turned around and strode away, his steps faintly messy.

When Azig led a thousand cavalry in pursuit, Batu slowly shook his head and sighed in his heart.

What he sighed was not the weakness of the defenders in Beiliang City, but the irrational and calm utilitarian heart of Aqige.

Will the Han army really escape?

No, no, if you want to escape, you would have fled with the commander Xu Shijie a long time ago, how could you stay until now, not to mention that the king of Beiliang regained confidence in the defenders in the city a few days ago.

Batu didn't think that the dozens of trebuchets he brought with him would scare the Han army away.

Therefore, the Han army that escaped from the south gate must have been just a decoy.

It's okay to deceive ordinary soldiers with such a simple scheme, but Azig will be fooled.

But is Azig really that stupid?

Of course not, otherwise he would not have been able to gain the trust of Borjueluo, the lord of the Dajin Kingdom.

He also guessed that the fleeing Han army might be a decoy, but there was a trace of luck in his mind.

What if the Han army did escape?

If there was really a Han army that fled, then the king of Beiliang must be among the hundreds of cavalry who fled, because only his order could open the gate of Beiliang City and command the only cavalry in the city.

Thinking of this, Azig felt his blood boiling instantly, and every pore on his body exuded a strong desire!

He wants to catch the King of Beiliang, and he wants to cut off the heads of the descendants of the Xuanyuan clan!

What a glory it would be! And what a credit!

For more than 100 years, no steppe hero has done this.

And today, Azig is waiting for such an opportunity!

Even if the chance is very slim, he has to fight for it!

As Aqige chased the Han cavalry who rushed out of the south gate, a dense drum suddenly sounded in Beiliang City, and in a burst of passionate shouting and killing, the north gate of Beiliang City opened, and a black and oppressive soldier and horse roared out......
