Looking at the Hun cavalry that bypassed Jiuyuan City and divided into five groups to kill at least 50,000 people in the direction of Shangdi and Yunzhong, Meng Hong, who was calm and relaxed on the city wall, and other generals at all levels of the Jiuyuan Army suddenly changed their faces in unison.

Now there are a total of 200,000 Jiuyuan troops in the northern frontier of Great Qin, and nearly 180,000 people have gathered in Jiuyuan City. The remaining 20,000 Jiuyuan troops were still left in Yanmen and Yunzhong counties because of the long distance.

And in Shangjun, there is basically no regular army of Daqin, can ordinary county guards and county soldiers resist these wolf-like Huns? The answer is clearly no.

The 20,000 Jiuyuan troops in Yunzhong and Yanmen were distributed in two counties and five counties, and there were 5,000 Jiuyuan soldiers in each of the two cities of Yunzhong County Zhiyunzhong (later Inner Mongolia Tuoketuo County) and Yanmen County Zhishanwu (later Shanxi Youyu).

The remaining two counties and four counties have only 10,000 people. The Jiuyuan Army can indeed fight well, but it will be difficult to fight with one enemy and two, and it will be difficult to fight with one enemy and three. How to resist these tens of thousands of Hun barbarians?

The most important thing is that the order from Meng Tian, who was still on the Jiuyuan Gallop Road, was to let the Jiuyuan army definitely drag the Xiongnu army of Maodun under Jiuyuan City and wait for him to reach Jiuyuan.

Meng Hong and the others naturally knew why Meng Tian wanted them to drag the Xiongnu army under Jiuyuan City, naturally because in the vast land of more than a dozen counties such as Jiuyuan, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Shangjun, etc., there were basically not many regular counties of Great Qin garrisoned. Except for the 200,000 Jiuyuan troops stationed in Jiuyuan, the dozens of counties in the northern border of Great Qin can be said to be extremely empty, and the few poor county soldiers and county soldiers in each county are basically undefended.

Meng Tian gave such an order to die precisely because he was worried that Mao Dun chose to go around the city because of the difficulty of attacking Jiuyuan City, and plundered the various counties of Yanmen and Yunzhong behind Jiuyuan.

In that case, even if the Huns can be successfully defeated this time, the entire northern frontier of Great Qin will basically be in ruins.

Now it seems that Meng Tian's worst fears have obviously become a reality. Mao Dun only attacked the city once, and directly chose to besiege but not attack, and sent the Hun cavalry to bypass Jiuyuan City and go deep into the interior of Daqin to plunder.

"It's broken!" Li Gang, who was standing behind Meng Hong, clapped his hands and shouted when he saw the tens of thousands of Hun cavalry galloping away with rolling dust.

His shout startled Meng Hong and the others who were standing beside him.

Meng Hong, who was full of melancholy, couldn't wait to take the bronze sword and poke a few big holes in him. No one is stupid, not blind, do you need to scream like that?

"General! The general ordered us to drag the Hun army under Jiuyuan City, but now the Huns have bypassed the Jiuyuan City where our army is stationed, and it seems that they are going to enter Yanmen and Yunzhong counties, how can this be good? A general standing beside Meng Hong said worriedly.

"General, why don't you let the last general lead the army out of the city and fight with the Huns. As long as he wins the last battle, the Huns will definitely withdraw the large army that was sent out. Another general said.

The rest of the generals also had a lot of discussions, but most of them advocated going out of the city to fight the Huns. After all, more than ten years ago, in the face of the 500,000 Xiongnu army, Daqin was the 300,000 Jiuyuan army that won a big victory. In that victory, the Jiuyuan Army suffered only tens of thousands of casualties.

In the face of the 500,000 Xiongnu army up and down the Jiuyuan Army, no one was worried or timid.

However, Meng Hong, the current commander of the Jiuyuan Army, is silent.

He was very aware of the combat power of the Jiuyuan Army, but the Huns were not the Huns of that time. was able to wipe out the Yueshi and Donghu, who were far superior to the Xiongnu in a few months, even when Touman was alive when the Xiongnu were victorious, there was no way to do it.

However, today's Xiongnu Shan Yu, the Mao Dun who killed his father and seized power not only did it, but also was extremely easy.

"That Maudon is no ordinary person. His move was not only to rob my Great Qin, but also to tempt us to go out of the city to fight him. Now there are only more than 100,000 troops in the city, and if we go out of the city to fight with the Huns, Jiuyuan City will definitely leave no less than 60,000 people to defend the city, or even 80,000 people. The maximum number of soldiers out of the city was 100,000. Outside the city, there were nearly half a million Huns.

I guess that Mao Dun must be waiting for me to go out of the city and fight him. Once we wait to get out of the city, even if we can break through, we will definitely not be able to meet Jiuyuan City again, 100,000 soldiers will not take an hour to enter the city alone, and there is still out of the city, if it is then, the Huns will take the opportunity to attack. Jiuyuan City is in danger. And the action that Maudun did outside the city just now must have been seen by the generals. The Huns at this time are very different from more than ten years ago! ”

Meng Hong was silent for a while, looking at the Chinese army camp in Maotun.

"Then general, are we just stuck in this Jiuyuan City and let the Huns plunder Yanmen and Yunzhong?" He was still the first general to speak, but he was clearly impatient at the moment.

Everyone knows what the result would be if the tens of thousands of Huns who passed around the city were allowed to enter Yanmen and Yunzhong County. When the emperor blames him, no one can afford it. What's more, when did the Jiuyuan Army encounter the Huns and be afraid? Not to mention that the turtle cowered into the city and couldn't get out.

"General Wang, don't be impatient." Meng Hong glanced at the general surnamed Wang and said, and then his expression suddenly became solemn: "The general's letter has already informed us that we have been prepared for this battle, and if we mess up at this time and disrupt the plan of Your Majesty and the general, it will be even more unwise!" ”

Hearing Meng Hong's words, the more than ten generals of the Jiuyuan Army on the city wall were silent, did they really want to watch the Huns enter Yanmen and Yunzhong County?

"There are still 20,000 troops of my Jiuyuan Army in Yanmen and Yunzhong! When he received the general's order, the general had already ordered the 20,000 soldiers to gather in Yunzhong County with the people of Yanmen County, which was close to Jiuyuan, to Yunzhong County, but fortunately, there was only one county in Yunzhong, and even if the Huns wanted to loot, they would not be able to arrive in a moment and a half! Therefore, the generals must obey the order, and they must leave the main force of the Huns in my Jiuyuan City!! Meng Hong explained.

"The last general obeys!"

Hearing that Meng Hong had an arrangement, the expressions on the faces of more than ten generals of the Jiuyuan Army suddenly eased, and they all responded in a solemn voice.

Mao Dun did have what Meng Hong said, he didn't believe that the Jiuyuan Army would allow his aliens to enter the hinterland of Great Qin and plunder the Qin people at will. He collected his troops and stopped attacking, just to let the Jiuyuan army in the city go out of the city to fight, or send troops to break through the siege and go to the rescue of Yunzhong County.

When the Jiuyuan army went out of the city, it was naturally impossible to return to the city. Even if the Jiuyuan army went out of the city to fight against him, even if it sent troops to break through and gallop to aid Yunzhong County, it could greatly weaken the strength of the city and greatly reduce the pressure of the Xiongnu to attack the city.

The sun is setting, gradually setting in the west!

The last of the afterglow shone on Jiuyuan Castle, and if it weren't for the corpses all over the city walls and the blood-stained ground, it would have been a beautiful sunset!

However, his 50,000 men and 100,000 horsemen had been circling the city for several hours until dark, and Mao Dun did not see any movement of the Jiuyuan army in the city. If it weren't for the dense Qin soldiers standing at the head of the city, Mao Dun would even think that this was already an empty city.

Could it be that the Qin people really don't care about the life or death of the rest of the Qin people? Or did the Qin people have other plans?

A sudden sense of irritability suddenly appeared in Maudun's heart for no apparent reason. It seems that something bad is about to happen. However, he couldn't figure out what could be bad.

Most of the Jiuyuan Army has been besieged in this Jiuyuan City, who else can threaten their hundreds of thousands of troops?

Unless, the Qin people have reinforcements coming!

Rise up suddenly!

He already understood what he was worried about and why he was irritable!

Yes, now the Jiuyuan army is besieged in the city, but it doesn't mean that the Qin people can't send reinforcements from other places to help. For example, the 100,000 elite soldiers in Longxi are the Qin army closest to Jiuyuan!

As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the Jiuyuan Army in the city would inevitably attack the Hun army with the reinforcements before and after!

With an army of nearly 500,000 under his command, even if he is not afraid, it is not so easy to defeat the elite of the Qin people who are nearly 300,000. After all, the weapons of the Qin people were many times sharper than those of the Xiongnu.

The only thing he could rely on was his own army of 500,000 times that was several times that of the Qin army.

Thinking of this, Mao Dun couldn't sit still anymore. He had to lure out the Jiuyuan army in this city and not give them a chance to converge. As long as a part of the Jiuyuan Army or the Longxi Army that came to the aid can be eliminated, then even if the two Qin armies converge, they will not be the opponent of the Xiongnu army.

"Someone." Maudun strode over to the map hanging in the tent and shouted.

"Great Maudun Shan Yu, your humble servant Sub Var hears your call!" It is still the Mustu Varpage, as the commander of Maudun's personal guard, he has been waiting outside Maudun's big tent.

"Immediately send out scouts to explore a radius of a hundred miles to see if there are any Qin reinforcements! Especially in the direction of the Southern Longxi Army. Maudon said.

"Yes! The great Maudon Shan Yu! Subu fell to his knees, ready to climb out of the tent.

"Wait! Ordered the army to pack up all the things, and said that the army would start early in the morning, bypass Jiuyuan City, and march towards the direction of Yunzhong County of the Qin people! ”

Hearing Mao Dun's words, Xu Bu Baye was stunned at first, obviously with his IQ, he couldn't understand why his army of hundreds of thousands had already trapped all the Qin people in this Jiuyuan City, and why the great Mao Dun Shan Yu took the initiative to withdraw his troops!

Isn't this a chance for the Qin people?

"Yes! The great Maudon Shan Yu! ”

Although he couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind as the great Maudun was alone, he still chose to listen! This is also one of the reasons why Mao Dun chose him to be the commander of the guards.

Fools are not afraid, they are afraid of disobedient fools! And the Sybuvar Page clearly belongs to the type of half-idiot who is not very stupid, but is very obedient and loyal! Of course, a brave idiot!
