Seventy-two, send the army to a thousand miles (among the popular recommendations, ask for collection!) )
Invite Yu looked at this group of people, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, when he returned to Qiuchi Country, I don't know how many of them he could see again? Her eyes were slightly red, and she gave a deep salute, "This official is ordered!" Send the lord of the revenge pool to send the lord and the girl out of the city, say goodbye here, I don't know when we will meet again......"
As he spoke, he choked up a little, "May you cherish it and arrive at the country safely!"
We'll see you again.
This team of people was indeed selected by Liang Weng himself, and everyone gave a big gift to Invite Yu, and said in unison, "May you cherish it." Then he quietly set off on the road.
When Invite Yu turned around, Zimo was standing behind him, also wearing an official uniform of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Zimo stepped forward and asked softly, "You have already calculated, haven't you?" How did you get the clothes? ”
Invite Yu was dumbfounded, "Where is me?" It's the lady who broke the army. She heard about the death of the troupe, and guessed that someone was plotting against me, so she sent someone to bring this dress. I probably want others to pretend to be me to lure away the villains, and I put on the official uniform of the Northern Wei Dynasty to return to the country of Qiuchi safely. She didn't guess how much she would help us this time. ”
"What about the fake general's seal?"
Zimo took a sachet from his arms and handed it to Invite Yu. Invite Yu touched the inside of the sachet and smiled, "Okay." Without further ado, let's go! ”
He Lu followed the instructions of Invite Yu that day, and when he left Pingcheng, he separated from Yao Zhongjian's troops in two ways. He led a team of men and horses to Qiuchi in a straight line. He didn't dare to march in a hurry along the way, but it seemed that he was traveling day and night. On the ninth day, he finally arrived at Wudu County of Qiuchi Country.
Wudu had already been under martial law, and He Lu showed the envoy charm to enter the customs. As soon as he entered the city, He Lu felt melancholy. The originally lively town is now nowhere to be seen except for the patrolling soldiers, and the shadow of half of the civilians. Families are closed, and everyone is at risk. Since the founding of Qiuchi, there have been countless battles of all sizes, and the people of Qiuchi have suffered from the disaster of war, but they can only be sideways.
He Lu was thinking about it, and a soldier came forward to ask, "Lord He, Lord Jundu is invited."
The war is imminent, and it is impossible for the county monarch to sit in the palace. He Lu followed the soldiers up to the city wall and saw Lord Du looking into the distance.
He Lu bowed his hand to him, "Lord Du." ”
Du Wen also bowed his hand when he heard the voice, but his expression was sad and slightly tired.
He Lu no longer played an official tone, and asked directly, "Where is Hu Xiajun at this time?" ”
"Ten miles away."
He Lu gasped, "Ten miles! What about Xiqin? Hanyang was taken away, didn't they react? ”
Du Wen shook his head, "Xiqin is already at the end of the crossbow. When Hanyang was not captured, they sent troops to fight several times. When Hanyang is lost, he will not dare to fight again. ”
He Lu was puzzled, "The Xia Dynasty is so vigorous and aggressive to attack other countries, and the follow-up grain and grass will definitely not be supplied." In that case, why not surround them in Hanyang City? Over time, the grain and grass in the city will definitely be insufficient. ”
Du Wen took a closer look at He Lu at this time, thinking that the returning Jiedu envoy was a civil servant, but he didn't expect to know some art of war.
He sighed, "Around." However, Helian Bobo was a madman who exterminated human nature, and he asked the Xia army to tie the people in the city together in ten vertical and ten horizontal directions, blocking the Xia army from rushing into battle. He used a trebuchet to put a burning oil bottle into the Western Qin army, and smashed and burned a piece. The Western Qin army couldn't resist it and retreated. ”
He Lu lamented, "How many men have they brought to attack now?" ”
"The spies reported 20,000 horses."
"Twenty thousand?" He Lu showed joy. At the beginning, they received a report that there were 30,000 people, but now that they have captured Hanyang, the number of soldiers and horses has decreased instead of increasing.
He Lu said with a smile, "It seems that they didn't win the battle of Hanyang very easily, and they actually lost 10,000 people?" ”
Du Wen shook his head, "It's Hu Xiajun who has divided his troops." ”
He sighed heavily, "They were probably afraid that Western Qin would come to us on both sides, so they dispatched 8,000 people, took 3,000 Hanyang people as meat shields, and continued to attack Western Qin's Lintao in the north, dragging down Western Qin's offensive line." Another 5,000 men were left to garrison Hanyang. And Helian Bobo came to us with a Xia army of 15,000 people, plus 5,000 people from Hanyang. ”
For fear of disturbing the morale of the army, he lowered his voice again, "I heard that this Hu Xia army's catapult is really powerful. The walls of Hanyang were all made of huge logs, and a large hole was opened after a few smashes. ”
After he finished speaking, he patted the head of the city wall, "Our one is much shorter than Hanyang's." ”
Layers of cold sweat broke out on the corners of He Lu's forehead! Although he somewhat expected it in his heart, he didn't expect Hu Xia to be so fierce! At this time, he hated even more that he didn't plan to ask Xianji more at the beginning, and he wouldn't be like a headless fly at this time.
But for some reason, even if the catastrophe was coming, He Lu did not doubt that Invite Yu would abandon the country and leave.
He Lu gritted his teeth and asked Du Wenze, "Are there still spurs in the city?" ”
Du Wen was stunned, "Spurs? Yes, there are many merchants here every year, and this kind of thing, the blacksmith shop has stocked up. ”
He Lu was overjoyed, "Please also send people to take them all, stick them to the wall and scatter them under the city, so as to delay the enemy's attack on the city." Yin Ping can be kept for as long as it lasts! ”
Du Wen looked at the flames flickering in He Lu's eyes, and said a little undiscouragedly, "What about stubbornness?" Yin Ping has already ordered to defend to the death, and he will not send troops to us. Without reinforcements, is it difficult to wait for heavenly soldiers? ”
"Yes, it's the Heavenly Soldiers!" He Lu nodded vigorously.
Du Wen frowned and said disdainfully, "Could it be that Lord He also believes in Xianji's prayer for blessings?" ”
Seeing that he was reluctant to move, He Lu simply took action himself, and said while going down the city wall, "I believe it!" Don't say I believe it, the whole Qiu Chi believes it! When this time happens, Lord Du will believe it! ”
After he finished speaking, he left Du Wen and ran down the city wall, all the way to the blacksmith shop. He also couldn't understand why he was so sure.
He Lu was really good, and led a few people in his team to empty the blacksmith shop. And everything that had thorns and nails was brought to the city gate, and it was laid all the way against the city gate. sprinkled some along the root of the main gate, so that unless Hu Xiajun was wearing iron and copper, if he wanted to step on this nail road and hit the city gate and climb the city wall, he was afraid that he would have to abolish his feet first.
Du Wen saw that he was diligent, and he was embarrassed to do nothing, so he ordered someone to cut down the top of the tree behind the city wall and the city gate, and somewhat restrained the other party's collision with the wood.
As soon as the two got it right, Hu Xiajun came into view. The Huxia people were not in a hurry, and set up camp far away, and began to sawn wood to make catapults and crash wood.
He Lu stood on tiptoe and looked at the black pressure on the black army. In front of the army, I saw that there were civilians who were connected into a phalanx of ten verticals and ten horizontals. It is estimated that they will be forced to rush to the city gate before the Xia army.
There are only a few arrows in the city, and if you shoot them at them, you will undoubtedly have to consume a lot of arrows. But if they don't let go of the arrows, these people will help Xia Jun set up a ladder.
