Just two days later, the Aries of Baiyang, Zhelan, Loufu, Jinshan and other tribes, as well as several slave tribes, and the twelve thousand horsemen, including the headquarters of King Zuoxian, arrived at the first line of Wuzhou Sai.

Looking at the empty fortress in front of him, he didn't notice anything wrong, and after a little thought, he ordered his troops to cross Wuzhou.

Like Mayi, Wuzhou Sai is also blocked at one end of this narrow area sandwiched by two mountains in the east and west, except that Mayi is in the south and Wuzhou is in the north;

Another difference is that Mayi is a city, while Wuzhou Sai is a section of Erli low wall directly at the mouth of the valley.

The low wall is not very high, about a zhang, and it is not too thick;

On top of the low wall, there are basically no fortifications, only a beacon tower for warning.

Inside the low walls, there was a camp that had clearly just been destroyed.

For Wuzhou Sai, the porridge is still relatively familiar.

——In that year, when the Xiongnu Shan Yu Maodun led the army south, and the old emperor of the Han people would hunt the city, it was from Wuzhou to the south!

After passing Wuzhou, he rushed straight to Mayi, forcing Han Wangxin to surrender to his own capital: Mayi.

That's right;

At that time, Mayi was the Korean capital of Han Wangxin.

Moreover, with Mayi as the capital of Han, it was Han Wangxin who took the initiative to move to Mayi on the grounds that 'the capital is too far away from the side wall and it is inconvenient for Yuhu'.

From the gap in the Great Wall of Zhao guarded by Ma Yi into the territory of Daiguo, the Hun cavalry under his command began to gallop wantonly in the vast plains;

In the end, after the battle of Pingcheng, the 'king to king' knew that if he continued to fight, he would probably not be able to return to the grassland, and finally had to return to the grassland by the way he came.

At that time, as the king of Zuoxian, he was following his father Mao Dun's side;

For the outpost warning station of Wuzhou Sai, the impression of the porridge is not deep.

——That year, Mao Dunshan Yu led hundreds of thousands of Hun warriors to the south, and Wuzhou Saiming only had a dozen soldiers and twenty or thirty prisoners, but he was stunned and did not give in under the peak of the Hun army!

After lighting the beacon fire without hesitation and warning the Ma Yi behind him, dozens of Han people in Wuzhou Senai resolutely plunged into the battle!

Hundreds of thousands, for dozens of people, the process of fighting can almost be described as 'fleeting'.

But I still remember the Han soldier who was seriously injured but swore to die······

"If only I had the great Huns, it would be nice to have such cohesion as the Han people······"

Riding a horse to the position halfway up the mountain, watching the troops under his command slowly pass through the doorway that was only a few zhang wide in Wuzhou Sena, and his brows couldn't help but frown quietly.

As a pure Hun people, what he pursues is also the ultimate law of the jungle;

The living environment of the grassland clearly understands that the living environment of the grassland does not allow things like loyalty, bottom line, and persistence.

Looking at the wind and making the rudder, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and having milk is the mother, it is the normal state of the grassland, and it is also the foundation for the survival and reproduction of the grassland nomads.

But unlike other Xiongnu nobles who only know how to fight and kill, the porridge is obviously more rational thinking for the Han people.

Although I still can't quite understand why the Han people can have these incomprehensible qualities, I can also realize that the system of the Han people is more advanced;

No matter how contrary the Han people's set of people are filial piety, loyalty, filial piety, and loyalty to the Huns, and the Huns' wives and fathers, and abandonment of the elderly, they can still feel that the future of the grassland is the present of the Han people.

But so far, he has not been able to think of the balance between the advanced system and the harsh environment of the grassland, and the way in which the two are integrated······

"Tu extravagant words are ······"

"The Han people not only have foolish loyalty, but also small such good birds choose trees to perch, and are not proud of foolish loyalty······"

While thinking about it, a lame Xiongnu language came from his ears, which caused the porridge to frown subconsciously;

When he raised his head and saw the flattering smile on the face of the Han merchant, it was even more difficult to hide his disdain.

"Sir is also a Han Chinese, and he was taught by his parents to be loyal to the monarch since he was a child;"

"But why are you now serving my Great Huns?"

Inexplicably, he asked some annoyance, which made the Han businessman stunned immediately, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little stiff.

"Tu Hao asked so~"

"Heh, I don't know how to answer the little one······"

"As early as the Warring States Period, we Central Plains people had the saying that 'the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the king, and each is his master in every war';"

"At that time, there were also many famous ministers who were born in this country, but helped other countries to attack their own country."

"Therefore, the small one's allegiance to Tu Lu cannot be regarded as betraying the master, but everyone has their own aspirations······"

As Han Shang seemed to be unexpected, but in fact full of apprehensive descriptions, the brows of the porridge only became more and more locked;

In the end, not only did he understand what the truth was, but he quietly loosened his brows, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

——Finding that the Han people also have shortcomings.

Compared with the steppe nomads, the Han people tend to be simpler and more intelligent;

But being smarter means that the smarter the Han people, the more they will think about themselves.

From this point of view, the smart people among the Han people are no different from the steppe peoples who are on the same page.

In other words, among the Han people, only smart people can reach the 'height', or realm, of the grassland people······

"What do you think of Ma Yi?"

"Can you think of a way to break through Ma Yi like you did in the clouds?"

The unhappiness in his heart dissipated, and he naturally thought about the next battle.

For the breakthrough of Cloud City, he felt happy and happy;

But deep down, he also clearly understood that the reason why he was able to break through Cloud City was not because of the big gap in the strength of the two sides, but because by chance, Cloud City was easily deceived into opening the city gate.

- After the city gate was deceived open, the porridge was even ready to enter the city and fight with the Han people!

Thinkers

Fortunately, in the end, the Han army in Yunzhong City did not resist stubbornly, but at the same time that the Huns entered Yunzhong City from the north, they fled from the south gate and ran to Mayi······

How much luck is in the clouds, and the porridge knows it in his heart;

The advantages and disadvantages of the Hun cavalry are even more clear in the concentration of the Huns.

Therefore, even if he knew that the probability of success was not high, he still hoped to fight for it to see if he could capture the already prepared Mayi at the lowest cost······

"Tu Lu's worries, the little ones understand;"

"The warriors of the Great Huns are good at fighting, but they are not good at attacking cities."

"But if you want to use stratagems to deceive the gate of Mayi City like you did in the clouds, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to accomplish······"

I saw that the Han merchant lowered his head with a worried face, and bowed his hand to the porridge slightly.

"After Tu Hao led the army to attack Mayi, the little one has already sent someone to inquire about the news of Mayi;"

"But the situation in Mayi is not very optimistic."

"——On the fourth day of being broken in the clouds, that is, the day before yesterday, Ma Yi ushered in a Han army of more than 50,000 people from Guanzhong!"

"According to rumors, the people who led the army to Mayi were Taiwei Jin She and Wei Wei Liji."

"Nowadays, all the city gates in Mayi have been blocked by sand and gravel, and I am afraid that even if it is attacked, it will be difficult to enter Mayi from the city gate······"

Hearing Han Shang's words, he had expected this, and he couldn't help but shake his head regretfully, and let out a long sigh leisurely.

If there is anything in this world that the Hun cavalry will never be able to do well, it is obvious that the Han people are proficient in siege technology.

Compared with the various siege tactics of the Han people, as well as all kinds of siege equipment, the way the Hun cavalry fought in the siege process was somewhat chicken and inexplicably awkward.

In the Central Plains, the offensive and defensive battles of the city often adopt various complex tactics, using all kinds of siege equipment, fighting wits and courage between the enemy and us, fighting willpower and cohesion;

But when the Hun cavalry appeared in a tall city built by the Han people, they could often only spit from afar, secretly saying bad luck.

It is precisely because of this that although the Han army in the past was at the natural disadvantage of 'infantry versus cavalry', it was rarely besieged and annihilated by the Hun cavalry.

It's very simple: when you see the cavalry of the Huns, you can quickly run into the nearest city;

For the tall, thick walls of the city, the Hun cavalry had no way at all.

Even to the point where it is impossible to attack the city, the heroic means of the Huns are very expensive.

Not to mention the siege equipment, it is already good to have enough wooden ladders to climb the wall;

Especially the siege stand, it is even more outrageous.

- Or, let the cavalry ride their horses, move sideways parallel to the city walls, and wait for the opportunity to stop their horses and draw their bows;

Or, directly let the cavalry give up riding horses, directly incarnate as infantry, strive to kill and injure the head of the city, and fight hand-to-hand with the Han people.

What kind of breaking hammers, arrow towers, rushing cars, flying bridges, ladders, catapults, etc., don't even think about it.

It's just to rush forward, rush to the city wall and cut it, and if you can't rush up, you will lose!

Such a single, and almost ineffective way of fighting, in front of the Central Plains people who have long been full of city defense skills, is naturally a little unsightly;

Therefore, most of the time, when the Hun cavalry went south, they did not choose to attack the city hard.

The large army went south, and for the cities along the way, it basically left a force to 'besiege but not attack';

- I won't beat you, and you won't come out to block me.

As for the small group of troops going south to plunder, they will do their best to bypass the city and try their best to move in the mountain villages and countryside far away from the city.

In this battle, the original expectation of the porridge was not to attack the city all the way, but to surround the clouds, and through long-distance shooting, inflict certain damage on the guards in the clouds, and then sweep around the clouds.

If it weren't for the inexplicable attack in the clouds, the porridge would not have given birth to the idea of 'going south to Mayi'.

But now, since the porridge is here, then Ma Yi can't ignore it.

The reason is very simple: Ma Yi was blocked by the gap where the Xiongnu army continued to move south, crossed the Great Wall of Zhao, and entered the territory of Daiguo;

Moreover, the main force of the Han army, led by Taiwei Jin She and Wei Wei Liji, has also arrived in Mayi.

The purpose of the rebellion was to show the strength of the Xiongnu and to warn the little emperor of the Han people to 'take it easy'.

Under such a premise, if the porridge does not continue to move south, it will not be able to achieve the expected strategic goals.

This time, more than a dozen tribes in the south of the Munan followed the porridge to the south, and it would become a robbery and incursion in a simple sense.

"Hmmm······"

"Mayi ······"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look to the south, the city that had not yet appeared in his field of vision.

"Jin She······"

"Rei ·········"

"Hey!"

"Old acquaintances··········"

As if feeling nostalgic, and faintly sighing with a little expectation, he couldn't help but become more and more determined when he looked at the south.

"Please also ask Mr. to leave immediately, no matter what, you must try to get in touch with the people in Mayi City!"

"Even if you can't break through the gates of Mayi, you must at least find out the situation in the city."

With an indifferent order, the Han merchant was sincerely frightened, and then trotted down the mountainside, and disappeared in the blink of an eye;

Looking at the back of Han Shang leaving, he took a deep breath and only looked at the far south with his deep gaze.

"Xinwu Marquis Jin She······"

"Milk Tiger Li's ······"

"If you lose these two people, the little emperor, you should feel very painful, right?"

"Hey ······"

"Hey········· hey"

muttering and laughing to himself, I don't know how long it took for the porridge to recover from his thoughts.

Then, one military order after another was issued from this unremarkable halfway up the mountain.

"Let the King of Aries and the King of Zhelan quickly cross the Wuzhou Fortress, do not stop, and go straight to Mayi!"

"After the palaces of King Loufu and King Jinshan, each leave a thousand people to stay in Wuzhou, and the rest of them slowly approach to Mayi to clear the roads along the way!"

"——In the early morning of the day after tomorrow, except for the two thousand horsemen who stayed behind in Wuzhou, everyone must arrive at the city of Mayi!

！ ”

The resolute cry only provoked the guards on the side to kneel on the ground, kissed the toes of the porridge in order, and then rode their horses and galloped towards the leaders who were named by the porridge.

After a while, the porridge also left the halfway up the mountain, and slowly embarked on the road to Mayi with the large army.

But no matter what, it was absolutely unimaginable that Wuzhou Sai, which was garrisoned by 2,000 cavalry, was recaptured by the Han army in just three days!

And these two thousand elite Hun cavalry, in front of the two Chang'an forbidden troops named 'Yulin' and 'Huben', only supported for less than half an hour······
