Shanwucheng held on for a full fifteen days, in the last few days of the battle to defend the city, the eight hundred county soldiers hastily gathered in the city were fought out, all with the strong city walls and a breath in the chest, the food was exhausted, the arrows and stones defending the city were also consumed, and the more than 20,000 Hun troops outside the city did not waver at all, and the city was already exhausted and only waiting for death.

"How many soldiers are left in the city?"

Du Lieutenant Lu Shou leaned on the gatehouse, woke up from his drowsiness and said tiredly: "Counting the wounded soldiers, there are still eighty, and the Huns are not good at attacking the city, and they can hold out for two days." ”

"It's too late." Feng Jing sighed and closed his eyes, his snow-white beard had been messy for more than ten days, and he insisted on not undressing for many days, making the old man's legs and feet swollen, and his face was full of exhaustion.

For more than ten days, he only slept for two or three hours a day, guarding the city day and night in the hope of reinforcements, but no reinforcements arrived in the direction of Mayi, and as the days passed, hope turned into disappointment and then turned into despair, and the county soldiers who did not have time to gather would not come, and he understood that the Huns must be divided into several ways to block the gallop of reinforcements.

The Huns came too fast, so that he didn't have time to gather the county soldiers, the eight hundred defenders also came in a hurry from the nearby county, the equipment to defend the city had not been specially prepared, most of the arsenal in the county was still empty, and the ordnance consumed in the counterattack last year had not had time to be brought out of the Luoyang arsenal, and the Huns suddenly broke into the Yanmen County soldiers to surround Shanwu.

"Taishou, hurry up and break through! To the south to Mayi, there are still county soldiers to call, the beacon fire has been burning for more than ten days, and the defenders of the counties are coming in the starry night. As early as the night of the siege, he proposed to break through the siege and retreat the whole army to fight again, but no one could bear the responsibility of abandoning the city and leaving, so his construction was not adopted.

Feng Jing looked at the totem banner of the Xiongnu tribe outside the city, and couldn't help sighing: "It's too late, the reinforcements from Ma Yi didn't come because Ma Yi was also surrounded, and the reinforcements in the clouds didn't come because there was a Xiongnu army in the clouds, maybe the army of King Zuo Xian on the grassland was close at hand, and the reinforcements that should have come didn't come, so we have no chance." ”

A gust of wind blew, and the two people in the city looked at each other speechlessly and lamented.

Whining!

The poignant horn sounded, it was the Huns to attack the order, the silent camp outside the city suddenly came from a rapid shout, groups of Hun cavalry rushed out of the camp, more Huns chose to turn over and dismount, carry the shoddy siege equipment towards the city wall, siege is the most headache in this era of lack of engineering technology, the Huns will not try siege warfare until the last resort.

On the other hand, it also shows that the determination of the Huns is very great.

Zhao Xin rode a horse and stood in front of the battle to supervise the battle, if Zhao Meng stood in this place, Zhao Xin was the Hun leader who saw when he met the Hun cavalry last year, he was a small king among the Hun tribes, and at the same time sat down as the left minister in Zuo Xian Wang, the customs of the Huns were contrary to the Han Empire, the Han people respected the right and the Huns have always been respected by the left, Zhao Xin ranked third under the account of King Zuo Xian, and there were only left and right generals from the other two major tribes on his head.

Last year, the tribes under the account of King Zuoxian invaded the Han land and plundered according to the custom, and the front had been obedient until they bumped into the Han army on the gallop road to Mayi, and the bold Han people did not shrink in the city to defend the pass, but chose to compete with the Huns in the wilderness, and the competitive Huns could not bear to be provoked by their dignity, so the two sides opened a big battle.

But no one thought that the cunning Han people would choose to stick to the spot, relying on the horse thieves who were wandering in the border areas to rush left and right to pull the formation of the Huns, and in the face of the fly-like horse thieves, they couldn't chase them, and they couldn't do it if they didn't chase, and they hesitated to retreat and were very unwilling, and as a result, the Huns who were suddenly attacked by the Han army were forced to flee by seizing the opportunity.

That battle was too aggrieved, and the Xiongnu tribes under King Zuoxian's account were not convinced, and of course Zhao Xin was not convinced, so there was this revenge at all costs.

Nearly 30,000 troops broke into the Han land to attack Yanmen County, obviously also beyond the expectations of the Han people, as the proposer of the construction yì, Zhao Xin was highly praised by King Zuoxian, at this time it was the time to be complacent: "Mr. Zhao's point to me is very important, if this battle is victorious, there must be a credit to Mr. Zhao." ”

"The points mentioned below are just icing on the cake, and they are not as good as the work of the left minister." Zhao Shi smiled and rode a horse to stand beside Zhao Xin, and in just a few months, he went from being a guest of a small Xiongnu tribe to Zhao Xin, the third-ranked tribe leader under King Zuoxian's account, to be a strategist under Zhao Xin's account.

Zhao Xin is very satisfied with this Han man, Zhao Shi is the most proficient at doing things among the Han people he has seen in his life, and he is smart and does not take credit in front of him, what is more interesting is that both of their surnames are Zhao, and he casually took a Han name to meet a Han family, Zhao Shi also has a good genealogy with him, and the two sides say that they are as if their ancestors were really related in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Not long after this person came to his account, he proposed a lot of good construction yì was adopted by King Zuo Xian, in this war, the Xiongnu army was divided into three ways from Zhao She, the first was a feint force composed of 10,000 cavalry in Yunzhong County to suppress the action of the Han army, the second road was also 10,000 cavalry cruising on the border of Dai County as a feint, the third road was Zhao Xin's command of nearly 30,000 troops into Yanmen County, Zuo Xianwang took his headquarters to camp north of the Great Wall, and the right was the army to come out and let the horses relax.

"I have observed that there is no fighting force in the city, and the city will be breached within this day, so I want to congratulate Zuo Xiangqi in advance on his victory." Zhao Shi pinched his beard and smiled.

Zhao Xin glanced at him meaningfully: "Kill the Yanmen Taishou, Shan Yu will give me 5,000 people, 50,000 cattle and sheep, and then I will recommend you to Shan Yu according to the agreement, and then give you 500 sheep and 20 slaves, we Huns are not as stingy as the Han emperor, and those who have merit must be rewarded!" Don't you Han people often say that there must be brave men under heavy rewards? Hehehehehe......"

His ridicule did not get a response, Zhao She's lowered eyelids successfully concealed the inadvertent haze, the Huns were very cautious when appointing Han people, so his identity did not do too much, in order to win the trust of Zhao Xin, he also had to show some skills, so King Zuoxian's account knew that the Han land escaped from a confidant of Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu died in the Tingwei prison, and the news that the Zhou family was almost wiped out was also brought over, and the Huns could not understand the behavior of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty who cut off his arm, and from time to time would mock the Han emperor in front of Zhao She, and constantly show off the behavior of the Huns who would be rewarded for their merits, in Zhao Xin's words, as long as they have the ability to be crowned a king, it is not a big deal, and most of the twenty-four thousand horsemen founded by Mao Dunshan are not the Hu people of the Xiongnu race, but these people can be called Huns.

The giant tree hit the city gate and set off a wave of air, and the heavy hammer hit each time was tugging at people's heartstrings, until a long time later, a loud bang came, and the Huns in front burst into cheers, and the long-waiting Hun cavalry poured into the small city in groups, eager to share the belated fruits of victory.

Zhao Xin fantasized about the dream of capturing the Yanmen Taishou alive, and suddenly saw billowing black smoke rising from the city, and his face changed sharply and shouted: "It's not a good thing!" The house is on fire, and the Yanmen is too guarded to set fire to itself! ”

However, in a moment, flames burst out of the thick smoke, and the ignition appliances such as fire oil and saltpeter prepared earlier played a huge role, and this small mansion instantly turned into a terrible volcanic hell, and the fierce tongue of fire frightened the war horse with the blazing high temperature jumped in panic, and the Hun cavalry who was caught off guard was dismounted by the mount, and for a time there were people everywhere on their backs and turned over everywhere.

6 The Huns hurriedly rummaged through the utensils to carry water to put out the fire, but did not expect the water to pour down but let the fire burn more and more, the flames blew into the houses in the city with the strong wind on the grassland, and the houses that received the beacon fire warning and emergency evacuation before the war had already been empty, and the dry climate of spring contributed to the burning of the flames, and it didn't take long for the flames to burn all over the city, and the sky was dyed red from a distance.

The Huns were afraid of the divine might of the flames, and were forced to give up their plans to continue plundering the spoils, the front team turned into the rear team and withdrew unwillingly under the reprimand of the hundred cavalry commanders, Zhao Xin turned over and dismounted and looked at the city that burned with flames, as if the flames fluttering in the wind were brilliant and colorful, and he shouted: "It's a loss!" Yanmen is too guarded, I have lost a lot! ”

Zhao Shi stood in the distance, his fists clenched into his nails, and the hatred in his heart was strong: "The Huns are determined to enter the customs for revenge, and the Bank of China has a plan, I can't stop them!" Not only is there no way to stop it, but I also want to add fuel to it...... In order to enter the court of the Huns, I have to endure it, and the blood debt of the death of more than 1,000 sons of the Han family will be counted on the heads of the Huns! I swear to Tai Yishen that he will one day obtain the head of the Xiongnu Shan Yu to pay tribute to the innocent victims! ”

ps: Feng Jing's grandfather's death is heavier than Mount Tai, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty must fight the Huns, beat the Huns, and avenge the old man!
