Chapter 239: Bloody Battle in the Royal City

As a weapon of mass destruction, the repeater has always been qualified to be used by the absolute elite of the Dahua Army. For various reasons, it is not possible to equip it on a large scale. Therefore, even though the Huns secretly traded with many border generals, they rarely got crossbows. After all, this thing is too expensive, and it has been filed with the Ministry of War.

Ordinary generals don't dare to sell, but that doesn't mean Li Mingyuan doesn't dare. Who is it, he is the second generation of officials.

"Lord Wang, what about your request, in principle, I can't agree! Because the repeater crossbow is a sharp weapon of my Dahua army, if people find out that we are selling it to you privately, it is not a joke. At the worst, he will be disgraced and exiled, and at worst, he will be punished by the nine clans! Li Mingyuan frightened.

Hearing this, Li Wujie was also dumbfounded, and said in disbelief, "No, it's just selling weapons, and he will be punished so seriously?" ”

"Of course, my Dahua's national policy is to have laws to follow, and laws must be followed. Law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated! Li Mingyuan said word by word.

"No wonder we told many businessmen about this before, and we can't pay a high price!" Li Wujie nodded thoughtfully.

Li Mingyuan: "But, then again, rules are dead, and people are alive." I have been friends with His Highness Toth for a long time. In addition, there is a prince, you are a lobbyist. I think that if the conditions are enough for me to do a good job of doing everything right, there is still hope that this deal will be done! ”

Hearing this, Li Wujie became interested again. He had the heavy task of purchasing a batch of repeating crossbows, and he also had to get in touch with the Han Chinese and let them use the best equipment to help him defeat Maudun. And whether these things can be done. It depends on how capable Li Wujie is.

"Captain Li, before my trip, His Royal Highness Toth told me that he is very sincere in cooperating with you. As long as you want, you don't have to pay for the amount of money and food you negotiated before! And! ”

"Bang!" Before Li Wujie finished speaking, Li Mingyuan slapped the table and went crazy.

"Captain Li, what's wrong?" Li Wujie looked at Li Mingyuan, who was suddenly angry, and stammered.

"What's wrong, what's wrong with you? King Zuoxiao, what does His Highness Toth mean by this? Still need money and food? Fuck. A few days ago, Lao Tzu sent someone to bring him silver. It's a good damn thing, send someone to eat black and ambush Lao Tzu's team, I haven't settled accounts with him yet. How dare you say that now? Tired of being crooked, right? Li Mingyuan was very unhappy. Li Wujie was scared.

Captain Li was angry. You are mistaken. It's not us who eat black, it's Zuo Xian Wang Maodun, who secretly sent someone to intercept and kill your men! Li Wujie repeatedly argued.

"Hmph. I don't care what he is the king of the left sage, the king of the right sage, I only know that you Huns killed my people, and now they are still running to play scoundrels, I am very angry, and the consequences are very serious! Li Mingyuan said fiercely.

"Captain Li, although I look like a Huns, I have the heart of a Han people!" Li Wujie was very aggrieved, why was he so unlucky, the two of them were angry, and he knew that he would not take this errand at all!

Seeing Li Wujie's embarrassed appearance, Li Mingyuan snickered in his heart, the so-called silver money does not exist at all, but since that Zuo Xianwang is so active in carrying the black pot for himself, then we don't mind deducting some basins on his head again. Mao Dun is so enthusiastic, he won't refuse.

"I see, so I misunderstood you?"

"Of course, of course, His Royal Highness Toth has always admired Captain Li's talent, and has always been full of praise for you, how could you do such a treacherous ugly thing?" Li Wujie was very sincere, but Li Mingyuan was embarrassed to continue to embarrass him.

After getting to the point, both sides are much more serious. I don't know if Li Wujie is really stupid and not good at negotiating, or if he has been authorized by Toth. When bargaining with Li Mingyuan, this product was very generous. It's as if the money isn't his. Li Mingyuan originally planned to slaughter the fat sheep, but later found out that this Feiyang didn't need to be slaughtered at all, and the people had already slaughtered and washed themselves and made mutton hot pot in front of him.

After the two sides all negotiated, Li Mingyuan smiled in his heart, and Li Wujie also had a sunny face. In fact, neither of them is stupid. For Li Wujie, the cattle, sheep and horses proposed by Li Mingyuan are indeed embargoed, but what about the Han people's crossbows? For ordinary people, once they do it, it is a capital crime, and for the high-level, it is just a way to derive benefits. The Han people lack horses, the Huns lack weapons, everyone hit it off, communicate with each other, and make progress together, what a good thing!

"Zuo Xiaowang, how can we deliver this?" Li Mingyuan forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

"This Captain Li can rest assured, when the time comes to withdraw the army, His Royal Highness Toth will take the initiative to ask the queen of the palace, and everyone will trade when the time comes!" Li Wujie said without hesitation, obviously premeditated.

Li Mingyuan nodded reassuringly, everything was negotiated, and he was waiting to repel the Huns for a trade.

At this time, in the Xiongnu camp, the messenger sent by the royal city for help had already conveyed the news, and the Xiongnu princes were dumbfounded when they learned that Mao Dun actually led troops to attack the royal city.

If it is said that the troops are withdrawn without authorization, it may be a little difficult to hide, but leading the troops to attack the royal city, this problem is serious. It's putting the rebellion on the table!

"How can this be reasonable, Mao Dun is rebelling, he is a traitor to the Huns, and he must not be let go like this!" Hu Yanhao spoke up in front of everyone. He is the commander of the armor cavalry and the most trusted general of Touman, and his statement obviously represents the opinions of many Xiongnu generals.

Several radical princes have stated that they must crush this rebellion by force. Many Xiongnu princes who were close to Maudun also remained silent. Mao Dun has gone too far in this matter, and whoever argues for him at this time is undoubtedly against the orthodoxy of the entire Huns.

"Shan Yu, this matter is very important, I think, we should return to the army as soon as possible to rescue Wang Cheng!" Uwe's face was also unusually solemn. This crazy act of Maudun has seriously violated his interests. Once such a madman is put on the throne, Uwe can't imagine what will happen to him.

"Father Khan, return to the army. There is no room for loss in the royal city! Thoth's mother and family were in the royal city, and he knew that he was unhappy with him. Once he is allowed to attack it, he may become a loner.

At this time, Touman was also disappointed and sad, he never thought that he had been wise all his life, but he didn't expect that he would be copied by his son after the worst.

"As long as there is one more charge, the Jade Gate Pass is in our bag!" Touman sighed as he hung down the table.

"Shan Yu, Yumen Pass can be attacked at any time, but there is only one royal city!" Hu Yanhao said urgently. His family is in the royal city. I can't afford to gamble.

"Shan Yu, the army's heart is chaotic. The Warriors definitely don't want to fight anymore! If the royal city really let the rebels take it. Then our army will be duckweed! The Hun princes were in a hurry.

Seeing that everyone had a clear attitude to return to the army, Tou Man was unable to hold on any longer. He himself was worried about the safety of the royal city. Although the royal city of the Xiongnu has never been breached in history, it is because no one has ever attacked the idea of the royal city at all. This time he left in a hurry, and there were only 10,000 defenders in the royal city. Whether or not they can stop the tens of thousands of troops of Maudun is really a big question.

"The herald army. Return to the royal city! When he said this. Mao Dun's whole person suddenly aged a lot. Rao is determined by his will, but under this series of blows, he is also a little overwhelmed.

"Father Khan. The army retreats, be careful of the Han people behind the raid, the child asks to bring 10,000 horses, for the army of the palace! Toth offered to ask.

"No, the Han people don't have the guts, I think they must be exhausted now, and it is impossible for them to continue to pursue us!" Touman shook his hand.

"Father Khan, it is not wrong to be cautious. The Han still have an elite cavalry that has not been dispatched! Toth persisted.

Touman looked at his youngest son in astonishment, but quickly smiled with satisfaction, worthy of being his son, doing things in an orderly manner, it seems that he still underestimates him on weekdays.

"Okay, in that case, I'll leave 10,000 armor horses for you, and Hu Yanhao will also stay as your deputy, be careful, and ask him if you don't understand something!" Touman arranged.

Mao Dun was overjoyed and bent down to thank him.

When Li Mingyuan found Xiahou Yong, the supreme commander of the Tiger Ben Army was desperately nibbling on a roast chicken to replenish his strength. The days of fighting made his physical exertion very large, and he finally had a chance to breathe, of course, to eat some high-calorie food.

"Godfather, write me a note, I'm going to the warehouse to get some weapons!" Li Mingyuan got straight to the point.

"What do you want weapons for? At the moment, we are defending the city, condescending, and we don't need to take the initiative! Xiahou Yong thought that Li Mingyuan was going to invite Ying to fight again, so he refused directly.

"I know the way, and besides, I'm not so stupid, I'm going to make some weapons and make a deal with the Huns!" Li Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Deal? What is the deal? Xiahou Yong said solemnly.

Li Mingyuan told Xiahou Yong about the conditions he discussed with Li Wujie, who nodded and shook his head.

"This condition is indeed very beneficial to us, but if the Huns are allowed to have weapons as sophisticated as ours, then we will suffer in the end, because those weapons will one day become the murder weapons that kill us!" Xiahou Yong said rationally.

"I've thought about this, but we can recreate weapons, but horses don't, the lesser of the two, I think we still have to do this deal!" Li Mingyuan said firmly.

After being silent for a moment, Xiahou Yong took a deep breath and said, "Maybe what you said makes sense, this matter will be left to you, I hope you don't make it self-defeating, otherwise, I will not let you go first!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm a professional in pit people, and I won't let the Huns take advantage!" Li Mingyuan is full of confidence.

Holding the strip approved by Xiahou Yong, Li Mingyuan led a group of generals to rush over the devil like a mountain, and the quartermaster of the guard did not stop him much after seeing Xiahou Yong's strip, thinking that the front was tight and sent to carry weapons, so he let him go directly.

"Quick, speed up, all the old ones and those that have been redressed down, all of them will be moved out for me!" Li Mingyuan instructed everyone.

The generals led by Gao Zhiming didn't know what medicine was sold in Li Mingyuan's gourd, but they were used to Li Mingyuan's cunning, so they didn't bother to ask, and directly moved the swords, guns, swords, and halberds that had been eliminated by various armies directly out, and the quartermaster guarding was dumbfounded, what is the situation, why are these broken copper and iron that no one wants on weekdays also come in handy today? Has the war come to this extent?

Under the puzzled gaze of the quartermasters, Li Mingyuan and his entourage loaded all the weapons onto the cart. Swaggered away. The breeze blew, and the backs of the group were indescribably chic.

"Brother Li, is this the weapon to be traded with the Huns?" Gao Zhiming looked at the big board car behind him from time to time, and couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Why, can't you?" Li Mingyuan frowned.

"Yes, you can, but aren't you afraid that the Huns will turn their faces again and fight with us again?" Gao Zhiming expressed his appreciation and admiration for Li Mingyuan's courage in daring to tease the Huns, but at the same time he was worried about the safety of himself and others.

Regarding Gao Zhiming's words, Li Mingyuan smiled mysteriously and said slowly. "Wrong. It's not us, it's you, because I'm not going this time! ”

Gao Zhiming: "! ”

Li Mingyuan: "Zhiming, what's wrong with you." Complexion so dark? ”

The Huns came like a whirlwind. Go like lightning. After learning that the royal city was attacked. The morale of the Hun soldiers plummeted. Originally, under the closure of the Jade Gate, he suffered a lot. Morale is sluggish. If it weren't for Touman's promise not to seal the knife for three days, it is estimated that he would have fallen down a long time ago. After all, the Huns were also people, not gods.

Albeit a hasty retreat. But the remaining 10,000 armored cavalry is still a strong force deterrent. Xiahou Yong had the intention to bring people up to harass him, but he didn't dare to do it in the end, considering the strong combat power of the Hun armor cavalry. This made him even more determined in his heart to build a strong cavalry.

After nightfall, Gao Zhiming quietly went out of the city with a letter from Li Mingyuan to Toth and a large pile of weapons, and after exchanging hundreds of horses with Toth, he came back unconsciously.

"Well, all the best!" Xiahou Yong asked after supervising the horses with joy.

"Back to the Hou Ye, everything is going well, this little prince of the Huns seems to be quite easy to speak, and he handed over very happily, and he didn't inspect the goods!" When Gao Zhiming said this, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, if Toth opened the box and inspected the goods and found that they were all old weapons, he probably wouldn't give himself a good look.

"It's okay, don't worry about this, it's all Li Mingyuan's kid who calculated it!" Xiahou Yong smiled with satisfaction, Li Mingyuan, this kid is really cunning enough.

The Huns retreated, and the ordinary people didn't know that the Huns ran away in such a hurry because of the fire in the backyard, and they felt that the reason why the Huns retreated was because they were afraid of themselves, so they ran away in disgrace. As a result, the morale of the army and the people were greatly boosted. Many excited generals even ran to ask for pursuit, but they were all sent away by Xiahou Yong. It is not easy to keep the city, and it is really not a smart person to take the initiative to attack.

The royal city of the Xiongnu has long been a sea of corpses and blood. The generals of Zuo Xian's royal department knew very well what they were doing. I'm doing something that has no way out. If you succeed, you will naturally be a minister of the dragon, and glory and wealth are inevitable. But if it fails, not only will you have nothing, but you will also lose the lives of your entire family. Therefore, the big guy tried his best to capture this hard royal city.

The people outside desperately wanted to get in, and the people inside desperately wanted to hold on. Fools know that King Zuo Xian has rebelled. Hu Yanran cheered the defenders over and over again. Tell them that Shan Yu has returned with a large army, or it won't be long before he arrives to surround the rebels and wipe them out. Just hold on a little longer. Wait for the order to come back, and all the rewards will be rewarded.

Under the flickering of the generals, the ordinary soldiers had to fight desperately, and the majestic and solemn royal city in the past has now become a hell on earth.

The people of the royal city, even men and women, old and young, went out together to carry rolling logs and stones to the city. Later, he began to demolish the houses urgently, and all the wooden rafters, bricks, and tiles were moved to the city to be used as rolling logs and stones.

Seeing that the bustling market was demolished to ruins, the cries of the people of Wangcheng turned into vicious cursing, and in the end, they didn't even have time to curse, so they could only grit their teeth and run away.

The streets, horse roads, ruins, and city heads, there are many people who are tired and crushed to death, and the dead cry in battle, and the corpses are piled up into lanes, but no one cares about carrying them. The officials, chamberlains, palace maids and all the concubines also panted out under the leadership of the Huyan clan. The royal city with a population of 100,000 was full of soldiers, and vowed to fight Mao Dun to the end.

"What's going on? Why haven't you captured it yet? Mao Dun looked at Wang Cheng like a flat boat in the stormy waves, but he just didn't turn over, and he couldn't help but go crazy. He couldn't drag it any longer, and there was no time for it to drag it on. Once he waited for Shan Yu's army to come back, then he was finished.

"Father, I don't know what's going on in the road, the defenders and people of the royal city are like crazy, and they are going to fight with us to the end, and the soldiers have suffered great casualties!" Darugun reported covered in blood. The battle has reached this point, and the big guys have already fought hard, either they will become kings or they will be defeated!

"This is not a reason, I only know that there are only 10,000 miscellaneous troops in the Ludao King City, but we now have 100,000 people, if the 100,000 army can't capture a royal city, then you don't have to kill it, you can wipe your neck!" Mao Dun said with red eyes and threatened.

"Father, don't worry, the child is fighting for this life, and he will also take the royal city for you!" Darugon's fierceness was also stirred up. took off his armor and rushed up again with the death squad bare-chested.

"Can't lose, can't lose, for today, I've waited thirty years, thirty years! No one can stop me, I am the Shan Yu of the Huns, only I can let the Huns step into the Central Plains, rob the land of the Han people, and always be the master of the Han people! Mao Dun looked at Wang Cheng, his eyes flashing with this crazy flame. (To be continued......)
