The next day, early in the morning. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Yi Zong and Cheng Buzhi both looked at each other with a look at the curling smoke in front of the Han army's position.

Last night, the Huns attacked the Han army's siege artillery positions in the middle of the night.

Dozens of sentries were killed in the battle, and three of the siege guns that had already been built were burned and one was badly damaged.

Only the one at the back is still intact.

Although then, the Han army, which woke up, immediately repelled the sneak attack of the enemy, killed hundreds, and caused the rest of the people to flee with injuries.

In such weather, injury basically means death.

However, Cheng Buzhi still had a blue face.

The wild goose all day long, but when it comes, it is pecked blind!

This is how Cheng Buzhi feels now.

It would take at least five or six days to build the siege artillery that had been burned by the Huns—and this was because the tunnel battalion was already familiar with the work.

And five or six days meant that the Huns were likely to get a respite, or even reinforcements.

The battle of Gaoque is likely to enter a tug-of-war.

Therefore, Cheng Buzhi was very angry.

As soon as he was angry, the people below fell with blood mold.

Cheng Buzhi directly invited the military judge to referee.

Soon the verdict was handed down.

Cheng Buzhi's deputy general, Bo Zhangze, the left lieutenant and commander of the Tiger Benwei, supervised the battle unfavorably, dereliction of duty, and slackness. He was sentenced to fifty lashes.

The captain of the Han military academy, who was in charge of last night's vigilance, and the three Simas on duty, were sentenced to one hundred lashes in public because they were directly responsible.

Cheng didn't know himself, as a general, the supervision was not good, and he also received fifty lashes.

Of course, the soldiers are not responsible.

This is also the current rule of the Han army, if there is a mistake, the generals below the team rate do not have to bear any responsibility unless there is evidence to prove that it is because of him.

When the officer in charge and his superiors are held accountable.

This is also because the military judges on duty today are relatively mild-mannered and have not been dealt with by the strictest military law.

Otherwise, someone may even have to hit the ground.

By the time the whip was finished, Cheng Buzhi was already out of breath.

And the others, especially the captain Sima on duty, even had only one breath.

The righteous column and the whole army watched the entire law enforcement process.

For the current Han army, military law is sacred.

Moreover, unlike Qin, the Han military judges were subordinate to an independent body, the Military Judge Advocate General's Department under the Imperial Historian Yamen.

The supreme officer, concurrently served by the Imperial Historian, is called a military envoy.

The military judge, who is assigned to the army, can even command a small force under his orders only in wartime, which is used exclusively to enforce military judgments.

Therefore, no one in the Han army dared to violate military law anymore.

Because the judgment, adjudication, and execution of military law have been stripped from the Lord.

The master has only the right to make recommendations.

Of course, in some cases, the general is able to overrule the judgment of the military judge.

However, military judges can also uphold their own verdicts.

Then, according to the system, the case was immediately frozen, and all relevant files and records were sealed.

Then it was sent to Chang'an and handed over to the court for discussion.

However, under normal circumstances, this kind of thing is not possible.

Because first of all, when the army appoints military judges, it will try to choose candidates recommended by the general, and even if the military judge is not recommended by the general, it will try to choose the general's friends.

Second, if a military judge makes a major mistake and is sued, once it is verified, there is only a dead end.

In the end, all military judges, first of all, are officers, and then judges, and there will not be a situation in which there are no soldiers in the army, five people and six people, and the arrogant brain-dead literati doctors who have not led a single soldier will restrain the soldiers.

After the punishment was executed, the military judge who pronounced the sentence immediately went up with the military doctor to treat the generals and lieutenants who had just finished whipping.

Cheng Buzhi was even carried back to the handsome tent.

"Let Jun Houjian smile......" was carried back to the handsome tent, Cheng Buzhi, who was lying on his back on the collapsed, turned pale, and sighed: "It's hateful, it only takes two more days to attack the city, but now it will be delayed for several days!" Once the army is futilated because of this, I am afraid that I will have no shame to see the Son of Heaven! ”

A few days in the war is enough to decide life and death.

Moreover, the Han army went out of the fortress in such a winter, and every day that passed, the weather would be a little colder.

More than ten days later, I am afraid that the entire Plug will be snowed heavily, and the temperature will be as low as minus two minutes even at noon.

In that kind of weather, the Han army did not talk about attacking the city.

I'm afraid it's very difficult to move.

According to phenological records, once the snow covers the mountains in winter, generally speaking, such weather will last for more than a month, until the beginning of December, and sometimes even until the first month, when spring comes.

If that is the case, I am afraid that the Han army will have to retreat, and only wait until the next spring, when the ice and snow melt, and then make plans.

Moreover, such a retreat is not one mile or two.

The Han army had to retreat at least Jiuyuan, even Qiyang, and even retreat to Ziling.

There is no other reason, just because it is impossible for the people in the rear to send the astronomical resources needed by the army to this high city in the snowy season.

It is impossible for the Han family to risk the lives of thousands of people to do such a thing.

Cheng Buzhi only thought that the imperial court had mobilized most of the northern kingdom for the battle of Gaoque, and the Son of Heaven even ordered to cut the Weiyang Palace by half, and put the resources and manpower into the war.

As a result, because of his carelessness, pride, and inflatedness, he fell short.

He wanted to die.

Yi Zong naturally understood Cheng Buzhi's feelings and emotions, he squatted down, looked at the other party, and said, "General, don't worry, isn't there still a siege artillery?" It just so happened that I brought hundreds of good things from the treasures of Shi Shaofu, and when the time came, let the Huns open their eyes! ”

"What's more......" A smile appeared at the corner of Yizong's mouth, and he said, "I don't know if the general has heard of the Mo family's taboo?" ”

"The taboo of the Mo family?" Cheng Buzhi muttered twice, then looked up at Yi Zong and asked, "What does Jun Hou mean?" ”

"What I'm talking about is the taboo that the general knows...... Yi Zong said with a long time, "Extracted from the brain of a strange giant beast soaring from all over the world, processed by the Mo family, and sublimated into a terrible taboo under some extremely special circumstances, it has the power of ghosts and gods!" ”

"In order to master this taboo, there have been three martyrs in the Mo family...... Yi Zong lowered his voice and said to Cheng Buzhi: "This thing is extremely precious, and it has always been treasured in the core laboratory of the Mo Garden, and only Juzi and the Son of Heaven can order it to call ......"

"And now that the contemporary Juzi is near Gaoque, doesn't the general think that the Son of Heaven ordered Juzi to follow the army, and there is a great mystery in it?"

"Even if Juzi didn't carry that taboo, he must have carried a second-order creation called gunpowder!"

"It's really not good, the Mo family will definitely make a move......"

Listening to Yizong's words, Cheng Buzhi also calmed down.

Indeed, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven in Chang'an not to anticipate Gao Que's obstruction.

He must have already made arrangements.

"Now, let the Huns be happy for two more days!" Yi Zong said with a smile: "Two days later, when the construction of that siege cannon is completed, we will first try the power of the stone grease, the stone grease cannot be trapped in the high gate, and then let the Mo family take action!" ”

"Good!" Cheng Buzhi thought about it and nodded.

With the Son of Heaven in charge, he really doesn't need to worry.

That is another son of heaven who proves his destiny after the three kings.

A true man of God who is commanded by heaven.

With him here, there is no need to worry about Gao Que.

On the contrary, the Huns should think carefully about how to survive in the freezing cold!

………………………………………………

In Gaoque City, the Huns were jubilant.

Huyan Dangtu even ordered the slaughter of a thousand cattle and thousands of sheep as a reward for the whole army.

Many Huns, encouraged by the meat, gradually recovered their morale, and they were no longer in a panic.

Because, they have strangled the conspiracy of the Han Dynasty in the cradle.

In another half a month, there will be heavy snow on the plug, and when the time comes, the people of the Han Dynasty will have to retreat, and they will have to retreat if they don't retreat.

In the spring, when the ice and snow melted, the main force returned to this place.

At that time, even if you can't defeat the Han Dynasty, you can retreat calmly.

Moreover, Huyan Dangtu doubted that the people of the Han Dynasty would still have the strength to continue to go out of the fortress next year?

Even though the Han Dynasty army was invincible, there was no money and no food, what did they take out of the fortress?

Not to mention, as soon as spring arrives, the people of the Han Dynasty have to go to plough the land and sow seeds.

Unless they want a large-scale poor harvest this autumn, they will have to obediently negotiate peace with the Huns.

Perhaps, by that time, it will be the Huns who will take the initiative.

Because the Xiongnu did not need spring ploughing, they could invade the Great Wall unscrupulously.

Without controlling Gaoque, the Han Dynasty could not threaten the heart and core of the Xiongnu.

In that case, the script would have gone exactly according to the plans of the Huns.

By that time, the Han Dynasty wanted the Xiongnu to stop?

"At the very least, you have to give me five hundred sets of equipment for the Great Huns......," Hu Yan Dangtu thought triumphantly.

Five hundred sets of armor for the god rider are enough to make the Huns no longer fear and fear the god rider.

As for whether the Han Dynasty people gave it or not?

Do you still need to think about it?

Unless the people of the Han Dynasty are willing to watch the counties on the line of the Great Wall in the north of him not harvest any grains this autumn, otherwise, he will have to agree to the request of the Xiongnu!

Thinking like this, Hu Yan Dangtu was no longer in a hurry to retreat the tribal livestock, women and children behind Gao Que.

Although he was still arranging a retreat for the sake of safety, he no longer urged and spurred, and even ordered the retreat to speed up.

However, Huyan Dangtu did not expect that his ally, Lan Tuoxin, who had been in touch with him for half a year and was determined to fight together for the rise of the Xiongnu, had fallen into a huge trouble.

A cavalryman from the royal court was on the road day and night, sending Shan Yu's order to Junji Mountain. (To be continued.) )
