Pingyang Chengzhong, Hao Zhao and Biqiu Xing are assigning the matter of defending the city, half a month has passed, the materials prepared in the city are somewhat insufficient, and a large number of houses near the west gate have also been demolished.

Biqiu Xing said worriedly: "The Huns are dividing their troops to the south, there is no news, I don't know what Xu Shu is going to do, will he miss me and other major events?" ”

Hao Zhao smiled confidently: "Mingfu rest assured, although he and Xu Yuanzhi have a relationship, this person has a good conversation and excellent strategy, and there must be a countermeasure." ”

While deliberating, Zhao Yan came quickly and held a secret letter: "The time is right!" ”

Hao Zhao hurriedly opened the letter, read it and handed it to Biqiu Xing, and said with a smile: "How about the Ming Mansion, please see this plan?" ”

Biqiu Xing looked at it, and the case was shocked: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a person who is important to the king of the Han Dynasty, and I look at this person's plan, not under the sleeping dragon and phoenix." ”

Zhao Yan said: "The Xiongnu knew the news, but did not abandon the city and go south, as Xu Yuanzhi expected, we will act according to the plan." ”

Biqiu Xing clenched his fists and said, "It's finally time for me to take revenge." ”

The three of them discussed, immediately summoned the generals, ordered the three watches to make food, the whole army had a full meal, selected elite soldiers to go out of the city to attack the camp, and the rest of the soldiers and the people who helped the war went to the west gate to prepare for a decisive battle.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered winter, the weather in the north is getting colder and colder, and the defenders of Pingyang have not had time to change their clothes.

The two generals led the troops out of the city, divided into left and right to the Hun camp, the city gate was hidden, Zhao Yan led the troops to ambush on the city tower, the defenders were hidden, and the bow and arrows were ready to go.

The Huns never imagined that there was an urn city inside and outside Pingyang City, from a high place, it seemed that a mud bowl with the bottom was buckled on the city tower, they broke through the urn city outside, but the inside was intact, and it was a trap.

Hao Zhao approached the Xiongnu camp from the south, did not rush into the camp, only ordered the soldiers to prepare fire arrows to burn the camp, the right valley Liwang and Pu who were ambushed in the camp could not hold back, led the ambush to kill, the two fought several times, Hao Zhao was invincible and left.

In the north, Biqiu Xingzheng met Liu Bao and the two brothers of Qubei, and when they saw the ambush soldiers, they immediately retreated, and the two pursued closely, and Hu Chuquan led the army to outflank them from behind, blocking their way back to the city.

The two generals joined forces in one place, killed a bloody road, fled to the south, the Huns thought they had a plan, the whole army poured out of the nest, followed and killed, the shouts in the dark night shook the sky, and frightened countless birds and beasts.

Hu Chuquan chased to the foot of Pingyang City, looked around and asked, "Who is going to attack the city?" ”

Several kings all bowed their heads, more than half a month of siege warfare, they had already vomited, at this time they were all ready to go south to plunder, the materials in Pingyang City had already been exhausted, who still wanted this dilapidated small city?

Go and bow down and say, "I am willing to go on the right." ”

"If the virtuous nephew has foresight, he will leave you to guard the city and take over the baggage in the rear." Hu Chuquan was very happy, and rewarded 500 sheep on the right on the spot.

Everyone hurriedly went south, and Liu Bao said disdainfully: "The army is going south, how much land is there in the east of the river, what is the use of this broken city?" ”

Go frowned and said: "I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, Jiangyi has been emptied, and Pingyang still has some supplies, first replenish weapons, and then it's not too late to go south." ”

Liu Bao laughed and said, "Brother, how can you achieve great things if you are so cowering and hesitating?" I think about how many treasures my father brought with him when he crisscrossed the Central Plains, but he went late, and he didn't even have a mouthful of soup left. ”

Seeing that Liu Bao refused to listen to persuasion, he sighed helplessly, and led his headquarters to take Pingyang, first let the people eat and drink enough, put on the armor and weapons he picked up, and then go south after resting.

Taking advantage of the night to go to the city, I saw that the city was pitch black, the stars were dotted in the distance, and the city gate was empty.

The Hun soldiers stepped forward and pushed the door, and the blood-soaked city gate made a low muffled sound, as if the gate of hell had been opened, and it was like an invincible black hole inside.

"King, everyone is gone!" One of the leaders couldn't hide his excitement, and immediately rushed in with the tribesmen.

The city, which seemed like a rock to them, was finally breached, and they lit torches and rushed straight in.

In order to prevent the city gate from being breached, the cavalry rushed straight in, Hao Zhao deliberately shifted the passage to the left, which is a tortuous road, and the situation in the city can not be seen.

The Hun soldiers were crowded in the city gate at this time, and the front army drilled out, thinking that there was a wide city and comfortable houses in front of them, but when they looked up, they were all dumbfounded, and there was still a high wall in front of them.

The soldiers in the back were struggling to crowd forward, shouting and scolding, for fear that the people who advanced to the city would rob them of the supplies, and the people in the city gate shouted and neighed, and no one heard the exclamations in the city.

He looked down at the soldiers crowded at the gates of the city, like a flock of sheep returning to the circle at night, and was about to give an order to the tribes to enter the city in order, when suddenly the city was lit up with fire.

The tower, which had only seen the outline of the pitch black, suddenly became brightly lit, and immediately along the city wall, dense torches lit up, as if forming a wall of fire.

"It's not good, get out, get out-" Qubei shook his whole body and waved his hand and roared loudly.

Knock Knock Knock –

But it was too late, and the earth-shattering drums sounded at the head of the city, muffling out his shouts and drowning out the shouts of the Huns.

Arrows poured down like raindrops, the soldiers crowded at the gate of the city screamed and fell off their horses, there was a defense for attacking the city in the past, this time they were in a hurry to enter the city, and were shot down by the arrows, most of the Huns did not have helmets, and most of them were empowered and died.

The soldiers outside the city, though they were badly wounded, were much luckier than those who entered the city, and they could flee backwards, but those who entered the city were like wild beasts in a trap, with nowhere to go.

On top of the urn city, there were defenders on all sides, and the rain of arrows was mixed with fire arrows, and the remaining oil, sulfur, and dry wood in the city were thrown down, and even the rafter beams of the demolished houses were moved up to the city and thrown into the urn city.

In the blink of an eye, the urn city was on fire everywhere, the smoke was billowing out, the people and horses inside were running around, there was no way to escape, and the soldiers crowded in the city gate road could not advance or retreat, and were choked to death by the smoke, completely blocking the retreat and turning into a furnace.

He trembled with humility, gritted his teeth and shouted at the remaining soldiers: "Blood debt and blood repayment, immediately enter from the north and south gates, and no one in the city is allowed to let go!" ”

The Huns were also furious, and immediately divided their troops into two ways, roaring and killing the north and south gates, although the city gates on both sides were small, but they could still rush when the number was small.

Zhao Yan looked coldly at the irritable Hun soldiers outside the city, walked down the city wall in a hurry, and the streets were also full of firewood and grass, and he personally took torches, burned all the forage, grain and materials that should not be taken away at the gate of the government office, and left from the east gate with the soldiers.

In the tall stone wall, the Han army calmly withdrew, and there were already boats on the shore of Fenshui, and everyone got on the boat in turn, looking at the fire of Pingyang City rising to the sky, and they all laughed loudly.

Since the Xiongnu attacked Xihe County, the counties in Hedong have begun to prepare for self-protection, with Fenshui as the boundary, the strong wall is clear, and the Xiongnu will never be allowed to step into the Central Plains for half a step.

Now that Hedong has returned to the imperial court, the morale of the army and the people has increased greatly, and even the ordinary people feel full of confidence when the Han Dynasty fights the Xiongnu.
