Hu Xiabing came to the city, although He Lu was anxious, he didn't dare to show it, and only asked, "Does Lord Du have any good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Du Wen shook his head slightly.

The previous Wudu County guard ran away when the Northern Wei Dynasty came to attack. Du Wen is the protégé of General Yao, so he recently took this shortage. After taking office, he had just become familiar with the county affairs, and Hu Xia led his troops to attack. He smashed his mouth, and he didn't know if he hadn't drunk water for a day or what, he always felt bitter.

Although he knew that he couldn't hold it, it was a shame for the generals to surrender without a fight. Du Wen knew that the odds of victory were slim, so he was ready to live and die with the city.

He commanded in a deep voice, "The main city is too short, and it will definitely not be able to withstand it in a real fight, so you can only rely on the flanks to cover." Ren Bo and Zhou Zhichao, each of you led 300 archers to the city towers on both sides, and each received 30,000 long arrows and 30,000 short arrows. As long as the enemy is within range, don't let me see the arrows stop. ”

"The last general commands!"

"The last general commands!"

"Xue Lin, pick five hundred archers, five hundred sword and shield soldiers to guard the main city, and then carry the rolling wood and asphalt to the city." After he finished instructing, he bowed his hand to He Lu and said, "Please also ask Lord He to take refuge in the city, it is dangerous here, and it is difficult to ensure that Lord He is thorough." ”

He Lu didn't pay attention to it at all, and beckoned the people in the team to gather together, "Lord Du, don't look down on us." This team of people and horses was personally selected by Zuo Xiang, and they were all made of a top ten, and the adults saw where they needed it, just as they were ordered. ”

Seeing that he insisted, Du Wen nodded gratefully and arranged for a few people to go to various places on the city wall.

Everyone was ready to fight, but strangely, Hu Xia's men and horses did not attack for a long time.

Just when Du Wenze and He Lu were wondering, a small soldier ran up from the city tower to report that there was someone at the entrance of the secret passage in the city. The person who came claimed to be the envoy who went to the Northern Wei Dynasty with Lord He, and specially asked for instructions to open the secret passage and let people in.

Du Wen looked at He Lu, who was at a loss. His team came back in its entirety. Could it be that Yao Zhongjian's side is from there?

Seeing that Hu Xiajun did not mean to attack the city immediately, Du Wen called Ren Bo, the garrison general who was guarding the side building, and asked him to temporarily take command, while he led He Lu down the city tower.

"Whoever it is, let's go and see first." Du Wen had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that there was some good news from Yinping.

When he arrived at the door of the secret passage, He Lu asked and answered a few questions with the people in the secret passage, only to know that the person who came was not Yao Zhongjian's team, but the two officials who were born in Yinping who were specially left by Invite Yu when he set off.

He Lu hurriedly asked Du Wenze to open the secret door and let people in.

As a result, as soon as the big stone at the door was removed, three people came out of the secret passage.

Du Wenze and He Lu were both frightened, and the surrounding soldiers also pointed Ge Jian at the third person who followed.

The two officials who were let in hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong! This is Mr. Meng Shimeng. Mr. Meng hid us in the goods, so that we were able to leave the Northern Wei Dynasty safely and return to Qiuchi. ”

Master Meng was busy saluting everyone, and the soldiers in Wudu also put away their weapons.

He Lu asked anxiously, "Didn't the two of you follow the Lord Commander?" How did you come back on your own first? ”

The two glanced at each other, and said to He Lu and Du Wenze, "Please also ask the two adults to take a step to speak." ”

Du Wen hurriedly found an empty house, sent people to guard the surroundings, and brought everyone in to continue the conversation.

One of the two people who came back, Qiu An, was a good talker, so he told Du Wenze and He Lu what happened.

After the mission returned to Qiuchi in two ways, Xian Ji wanted to go to Tuoba Po to borrow troops. After all, on the surface, Qiu Chi Yu Tuoba broke the army, and his interests were related. But unexpectedly, Emperor Wei probably guessed this, and deliberately left Tuoba Pojun in the palace on the grounds of asking for advice on the method of leading troops. This stay is three days. ”

"What? Fairy Ji? Didn't Senhime retreat at the altar and pray for blessings? How could it be in the Northern Wei Dynasty? Du Wen was surprised.

He Lu pulled Du Wenze away, "It's not important, don't interrupt, let him continue!" ”

Du Wenze's eyes widened, "It's not important?!" The whole Qiu Chi thought that Xian Ji was in retreat, and asked the heavenly soldiers and generals to go down to earth and defeat the Xia army, you tell me now that it doesn't matter? ”

He Lu and the others all looked at Du Wenze with the expression of a fool.

Du Wen admitted, "Okay, okay, you say, you say it first!" ”

Qiu An continued, "Xian Ji was afraid that the country would not be able to insist that she would not be able to invite reinforcements, so she asked Master Meng to escort us back to Qiuchi first. We took a shortcut and traveled day and night before we reached Nanshou Mountain before Hu Xiajun. ”

"Minami Shoushan?" Ho Lu was puzzled.

"It's the original Golden Mountain," Du Wen said for him, "Xian Ji thinks it's like a stone gate, and has just changed its name to Nanshou Mountain." But what are you going to do in Minami Shoushan? ”

Qiu An said, "Master Du knows that there is a high ground in Nanshou Mountain, and when people stand there and shout, they will receive the echo of the surrounding mountains, as if thousands of people chant at the same time. Xian Ji ordered us to stand there, and the voice of a woman shouted, 'Whoever offends my immortal land, heaven will punish him.' ’”

"Can this work?" Du Wen obviously didn't believe it.

"It works!" Meng Shi suddenly interjected, "You didn't see those Huxia people, when they heard the voice, they thought they were from heaven, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed!" If Helian Bobo hadn't killed more than a dozen soldiers who wanted to retreat, and then explicitly ordered the retreaters to die, it is estimated that Hu Xiajun would have been frightened there. ”

Meng Shi once fought many battles with Tan Daoji, and was later wounded before being sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty as a spy. Although he knows that soldiers are expensive and plottery, they are noble and powerful. But he didn't expect that such a small trick with the help of terrain could shake the morale of the army so much.

Most of the people in the north believe in Buddhism, and they have a natural reverence for gods and Buddhas. When the Huxia people heard the surrounding mountains shouting, "Whoever offends my immortal land will be punished by heaven." I thought it was the mountain god who was angry and was coming to take their lives.

"I see, no wonder they didn't attack even though they were all in the city." Du Wen realized this. In fact, what surprised him even more was that Xianji, who originally thought that she was praying for blessings in a mysterious way, was actually arranging troops on the front line!

"Does Xian Ji have anything else to explain?" He Lu always felt that Xian Ji was confident.

Qiu An and the two shook their heads, and He Lu couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

Meng Shi laughed at himself in his heart, he was afraid that he would also be scolded by the girl. said that he was worried about the safety of Qiu An and the others, and he must personally escort them to Wudu City. In fact, she knows that Qiu Chi is not a strong general who is good at leading troops, so this is to trick him into supervising the battle for Qiu Chi before the war and giving advice.

"Actually......" Master Meng said thoughtfully, "we just observed Hu Xiajun all the way, and found that they never gave a little food to the Hanyang captives who were used as death camps. It is estimated that they feel that they will die eventually, and it is a waste to give food. ”

Du Wen's eyes lit up, "It will take four or five days for those captives to come over, and if they haven't eaten for so long, they must be angry, if they can be persuaded to defect, maybe there is a possibility of a war." ”

Master Meng waved his hand, "It's useless." They were already scared stupid and subdued. Even if you kill their family in front of them, they won't resist. ”

Du Wen frowned, "Then what are you doing with these people?" ”

Meng Shi was not annoyed by Du Wenze, "Although resistance can't be done, it doesn't mean that their instinct is gone." They had been hungry for so many days, and if we threw a small amount of food down, it would inevitably cause the captives to loot, and then Hu Xia's deployment would be disrupted. ”

"High! It's really high! Du Wen was actually a rectum, and he was still displeased, but he was already smiling at this time.

Meng Shi was still worried, "It's just a matter of delaying for a while." When Hu Xia throws away the prisoners and lets his soldiers go into battle, this tough battle will still be fought after all. ”

He Lu said, "It is a moment to be able to drag it out." I believe that Xian Ji will definitely have a way to solve the current predicament......"

Du Wen sighed, even if they could solve the death camp, they were still helpless against Hu Xia's newly built catapult.
