CHAPTER XXXI

A few days later, the envoys of the Huns rode into the city with a group of thirty.

In the palace, the nobles of Dayue City and Sima Dan and others were all there.

The Hun envoy walked in slowly, looking arrogant.

Long Er saw that the fat messenger did not have braids on his head, and asked in a loud voice, "You are not from the Rouran clan?" ”

The Xiongnu envoy didn't expect Long Er to speak first, and Queen Dayue also shouted: "Your country's army is pressing, now is not the time to say some false courtesy, we want to know if you are here on behalf of Da Danyu." ”

The Xiongnu envoy proudly: "I am a member of the Helian clan, and Helian, the king of Zuoxian, is the vanguard of Da Danyu and the plenipotentiary representative." ”

Long Er sneered: "Helian was originally a Southern Xiongnu, then returned to Shun Xianbei, and now he is Shun Rouran, and now he is Shun Rouran, and he can't think of it now." ”

Xiongnu envoy: "Xianbei is the servant of Rouran Khan Da Danyu, Xianbei has Tuoba, Murong, Qiguo and other clans, and now Helian Juxian King has been on an equal footing with other clans in Xianbei." ”

Sima Dan pressed the dragon ear, and the dragon ear wondered in his heart: "Didn't you say that you want to provoke the Hun envoy?" ”

Mila's eyes were blazing, and she kept looking at Sima Dan, but Sima Dan didn't say a word.

Queen Otsuki: "Good! Then the noble envoy came this time, did King Helian Xian have any ideas? ”

Hun envoy: "Lay down your arms, open the city and surrender!" ”

Seeing that the Xiongnu envoys were so arrogant, the Dayue nobles in the palace couldn't help but make noise, and some of the generals even pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, and the collision between the scabbard and the ground made a sonorous sound one after another.

Mira shouted, "We can provide you with food and weapons, just like Naja Kaesong." ”

Hearing this, Taji glanced at Sima Dan, who shook his head and said that he would not be silent for the first time.

Hun envoy: "Food, gold and silver, we still want a lot of women, even if you hand it all over to us, Da Dan Yu needs to give the people a big victory, so unless you open the city and surrender, we will give your nobles life protection, and you can also leave a part of your property, and you can even participate in our next battle to fight for some loot for yourself, but we can't give it to most nobles, but I can guarantee it to you!" ”

Taji sneered, wondering who could believe it? Once you put down the sword, you will become a slave forever, only with the sword in your hand, you have the right to bargain, the people of Dayue City are from the grassland, how can they not understand this grassland law?

At this time, the noisy people fell silent, and they all looked at the Great Moon City Lord.

The Xiongnu envoy brought murderous news, even if he surrendered, the end was very miserable, if he did not surrender, then the slaughter of the city was inevitable, this was the first goal of the Xiongnu's westward expedition, and there was absolutely no room for escape.

Silent.

The Great Moon City Lord said slowly: "Drag me out and cut it!" ”

******

In the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions were set up in Qiuci, and the school captain was set up in Gaochang, and in the Jin Dynasty, because of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Western Regions were all owned by foreign tribes, and to the Guangdi Zhongxing, because of the continuous need to deal with the various Hu tribes who had become forces in the Great Wall, they actually took Yumen Pass as the most border place, and never pushed their forces westward.

This period is also the peak of the power of the Xianbei people, they have established in the Han Dynasty "south of the Han border, north of the rejection of Ding Ling, east but Fuyu, west of Wusun, all according to the Xiongnu homeland" regime, after the Han Dynasty crusade, to the Jin Hui Emperor and then war, and again west to the Wusun hometown, claiming to have a million knights.

However, the various departments within the Xiongnu were extremely frequent, especially the continuous internal strife of Xianbei finally made the power of the grassland fall into the hands of Rouran.

However, in the eyes of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, who were once attached to the Han Dynasty, Rouran was still an uncivilized barbarian.

Therefore, Helian never went to the banquet in Shimitt's tent, and every time he left immediately after discussing the military, he was now angry at the food in front of him: "Who brought this plate of meat?" Don't see the hairs and blood on it? Cut down the head of the gang and the people who touched this plate of meat! ”

All the guards did not dare to make a sound, and looked silently at the unlucky guard who was in charge of serving the food.

Helian sighed when he saw the wolf-eating subordinates in his tent again.

"How can a person who can eat this kind of meat sit in the world? My father's food was more delicate than that of King Jin, are you people so promising? One day we must take the Central Plains, that is the real enjoyment! ”

Someone flattered: "The king's father was surnamed Liu by the Han Dynasty back then, we are all savages on the grassland, where can we catch up?" ”

"Humph! So pay attention! We must be careful and strict in doing things, like the siege car we are building now, if twenty people can knock it down, then all the people who built the car will be killed! ”

"King! Those Han slaves are the most treacherous, they can pretend that they can't push it down, our soldiers can't try every car! It's fucking bad! ”

"Humph! If you can't push it down, you will cut down all twenty Han people, and you will have to knock down all those craftsmen! ”

"Big ...... The king is wise! That's it, and there will be no one to open the way for us to block the arrows during the siege! ”

"Humph! Da Dan Yu robbed so many of our slaves, this account will be settled with them sooner or later, and it will be the big moon in a few days, and we will all the people of the big moon into slaves! ”

"Long live the King!" There was cheering from inside the tent.

Helian suddenly remembered something: "Fuck, hasn't the messenger come back yet?" It must be enjoying other people's banquets in the big moon, and if they come back, they will all be cut down, his grandmother's! ”

Everyone laughed again, only feeling that Dayue City was already under their feet.

******

Dayue City's real name is Yiwu, also known as Yihe, the Han Dynasty once set up a captain, and later for the current Dayue clan, they claim to be from the ancient Daxia Kingdom in the West, from the Yue clan.

However, Long Er said that they originated from Persia, because the language they used was basically similar to that of Persia, so Sima Dan could also speak it. And there were indeed many real Persians in the city, but there were also mercenaries from various Xiongnu tribes and mercenary farmers from Han China.

Zhuge Sheng taught Sima Dan a lot of miscellaneous things, but Sima Dan couldn't make any summary at all, so when he heard Long Er say this, he also thought so.

Long Er looked at the heads of the thirty Hun envoys and held them high into the sky with long poles, and shook his head: "This is a means for the Persians to shock the enemy, originally used to attack the city, but now it is placed at the head of the city defending the city, how can people see it from such a distance?" ”

At this time, there was a faint sound of horns in the distance, and Sima Dan and Long Er looked solemn, and hurriedly approached the north wall and looked into the distance.

A fast horse crossed a hill and let go of its four hooves and ran towards Dayue City, Sima Dan and they knew that it was the horse that had been sided, and hurriedly shouted: "The north gate is closed, open the south gate." ”

When they stood on the north wall, they saw that the sentry horses arranged on the east and west sides also returned at full speed, and I believe that the same was true of the south.

Sima Dan's heart jumped, because it didn't take long for him to see several fast horses also cross the hill in the north, chasing after the exploration horses of Dayue City.

Dayue's horses are all Dawan good horses, but in the grassland mountain horse, riding skills are extremely important, especially the road chosen when going down the slope, if you are not careful, people will turn over on their backs, that Dayue Tanma just walked down the hill between breaths, several chasing horses have swooped down from another slope like flying, obliquely inserted to chase.

Sima Dan exclaimed: "Damn! ”

At this time, Da Yue Tanma walked into a low ground again, and Sima Dan and they couldn't see it, only saw a few chasing guards with bows and arrows.

When the big moon probe horse rushed out of the horizon again, he saw the war horse jump, and the knight immediately got several arrows in his body, turned over and dismounted.

Sima Dan's heart tightened, and then he looked at the big moon tanning horses on both sides of the east and west, and they were all shot down with arrows for the enemy to catch up.

The gates were to be opened to welcome the horses, but now the soldiers, though they had not received the order, hastily closed the gates, as if they could keep their fears out of the city.

This is the strength of the real Huns?

Sima Dan had been surrounded by the Huns, and he understood the ability of the Huns to fight in the field, when the Jin soldiers and the Yanhou Shenjia soldiers relied on crossbows and heavy armor to create a brilliant record, once the iron arrows were exhausted, the casualties on the side rose sharply, so Sima Dan decisively let them go home, otherwise their own? The next battle may be the next battle, and this fear is very likely to come true.

Since the peasants from all around the city were taken in, many of the original residents of Otsuki Castle had fled because they had taken refuge, but now the population of the castle is about 100,000, and there are tents everywhere, so it took a while for Mira to arrive.

Mira also climbed the city wall, looking at the more and more Hun scouts under the city, there were hundreds, roaring around the city under the city, showing off her might, and couldn't help but turn pale: "Prince, shouldn't we go out of the city to kill their sharpness?" ”

Long Er: "Our advantage is in the city wall, why should we be stimulated to consume our combat power?" ”

"Humph! It's nothing more than a coward's excuse. ”

"Princess, the way of using soldiers, you must not lead the other party by the nose."

Sima Dan suddenly spoke: "Wait! Maybe the princess is right, we should boost our morale while they are not numerous! ”

The four of Yuli were wearing the divine armor that had been transformed for them, and Xiao Min specially dismantled and brought only a few sets of divine armor that were left to reassemble, so that their particularly tall figures were put in, especially Adam, who was sitting on a horse, was not much shorter than ordinary people standing on the saddle, and the big axe in his hand glowed coldly, which made people daunting.

Sima Dan led the four horsemen, waiting for the city gate to slowly open.

The drawbridge was slowly lowered and erected over the pit of the moat.

The city gate was wide open, and the Huns' scouts were not enough to rush into the city.

Long Er led a long group of archers to prepare at the head of the city.

Sima Dan took the lead with a long lance in his hand, rushed out of the city gate, and when he arrived at the grassland outside the city, all the Huns reined in their horses and stared at them like hungry wolves.

They were still within a stone's throw of the city, and the Huns' scouts did not dare to attack rashly, but only dared to surround faintly, so that their war horses could slowly accelerate.

But they soon entered the circle of attack of the enemy's horse bow.

Sima Dan and the others suddenly accelerated, and the oncoming long arrows hit the iron armor with a "boom" and bounced away.

A good arrow is not the same as when you attack them yourself.

At that time, he attacked the other party, and he naturally picked a soft persimmon, but now he is the real leader of the other party.

The Divine Armor is not afraid of long-range attacks. Sima Dan's horse formation aimed at one of the enemy's horses, and suddenly bent and rushed like a cheetah pounced on a herd of deer.

But the other side is not a pack of deer, but a pack of wolves.
