In the main hall of the Chang'an Guard, Huo Qu was sick and sat in the main seat.

The hall was brightly lit, and there were many people sitting on the low seats, all of whom were subordinate generals of the guards.

Dong Zhongshu was also there, and Bai Yu sat sideways beside his division, not even mixing in with an independent low seat.

Xiao Ying is reporting the results of the investigation of the secret investigation in the past few days.

"Check whether the clan relatives, officials, including businessmen and wealthy households, have suddenly disappeared in each family, why is there no news yet?"

The main goal of the detectives in the past few days is to trace the identities of the two dead captives.

Such a high skill, it should have been famous all over the world, but no one present at the time had seen it, and it was completely unknown where it came from, which is obviously unreasonable.

The other person is likely to have changed his appearance.

This is a very important clue, and once the true identities of those two people are found, things may break through.

"At present, it is still being investigated, and the scope is quite large, so a lot of comparison and screening will be carried out." Xiao Yingdao.

"Huo Hou, the news from Beiguan was newly sent, and someone lit a beacon fire."

At this time, Song Ran, who was dressed in a light Hanfu, walked in very quickly.

At the important junctures of the Han realm, secret detectives have a communication system in place, which can receive information as quickly as possible.

"Where exactly?"

"The junction of Shanggu County and Yuyang County."

That is, in the territory of the former Yan Kingdom among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, north of the Gyeonggi Heavy Land in later generations. In the Han Dynasty, the location of these two counties was special, and there was an important pass of Beiguan.

Dong Zhongshu heard that it was Shanggu County and Yuyang who were attacked, realized that the situation was serious, his eyes narrowed, and he waited to see how Huo Qu's illness would be handled.

I didn't want Huo Qu's illness to show a thoughtful look for a moment, so he didn't move, and continued to check the bamboo slips in his hand.

Bai Yu behind Dong Zhongshu wanted to open his mouth to speak, but remembered that he had followed Dong Zhongshu in the command post of the guard army in the past few days, and was often taught to be a man by Huo Quai, and he had been taught a lesson many times, so he choked back the words.

Beiguan.

More than 10,000 Hun cavalry roared and galloped, their eyes shining, and their faces were full of excitement.

Raiding the south every year is like a festival for them.

Robbing property, snatching Han women whose skin is as white as sheep's coffin, indulging in killing Han people, and obtaining meritorious deeds are the things that can stimulate people's desires the most.

Taken together, it was enough for the Huns to take any risk willingly.

They are not tired of this, they go south every year to plunder, and when they are defeated, they go back to organize their forces, and the coming year will be more ferocious, in the same way as wolves, gathering and scattering in groups, bloodthirsty and ferocious.

"If we break the Han city in a while, how about allowing us to cut and kill at will?"

"This time it was not only a loot, but the order given to me by Da Dan Yu was to set fire to the city.

But you can't stay in one place for a long time, just like when the Han team sneaked up on the rear of our Huns, you have to rely on the speed of horses and keep going deeper in the Han people's place. ”

Yan Qi shouted at the gallop: "We don't storm the city to increase consumption, but everywhere we pass, we can kill at will, mainly to destroy, the purpose is to make the Han people chaotic." ”

At this time, they walked around the city, and could vaguely see some positions at the head of the city, the fire was faint, and the shouts of killing were continuous.

Even on the top of the city, you can occasionally see the figure of fighting, and the battle in the city is obviously very fierce.

It's a pity that after going around the city, I found that the gates of this border city were tightly closed, and there was no chance to enter.

It seems that the city gates will not be opened for a while until the winner is divided in the city.

The Huns were like cats scratching their hearts, and they wanted to go in and plunder and kill.

At that moment, they saw another beacon signal coming from the city.

"The Han people are sending a message again, this time it is different from the signal we agreed, obviously they want to ask for help and find reinforcements!" The captain of the thousand horsemen looked up at the fire at the head of the city.

"Only this border city is the largest."

Yan Qi said proudly: "When I set off, Da Dan Yu said that if this city can be burned, it will be difficult for the Han people to rebuild it in a short time, which is equivalent to tearing a hole in the Han people's Beiguan defense line, and my Xiongnu army will enter the Han territory from here, and then see how the Han people resist." ”

"I, the warriors of the Huns, the time has come to defeat the Han people!"

"Oh woo!"

The Huns will make a wolf-like roar in unison, and the momentum will continue to rise, and the murderous spirit will be soaring.

"The Han army in this city is no longer able to look outside at the moment, so you can find other cities first."

Yan Qi drew his saber and raised his finger to the sky: "If the city is broken, I will allow you to plunder at will, and when the Han people in this city are finished fighting and the defenders in the city are exhausted, we will kill them back." ”

A cadre of the Huns agreed.

Because of the perennial raids, the distribution of the cities inside Beiguan was probably known to the Huns, so they approached another city nearby that was much smaller in scale, in order to quickly break the city and create greater chaos in Beiguan.

The sound of horses' hooves shattered the night.

Half an hour later, the Huns approached another city.

In the darkness of the night, they saw from afar that there was a faint light shining in the city, but when they approached, the lights of the city suddenly became completely ablaze, and there was no light at all.

"The Han people have turned off the lights, do you think we won't be able to see them?"

A cadre of Hun soldiers laughed loudly.

Approaching further, it became clear that there was actually a group of Han defenders outside the city, who were rapidly retreating into the city.

The noose above the city gate rises, trying to close the drawbridge and close the city gate.

In this case, it is obvious that the Han army in this small city saw the previous border gate city raising fire and wanted to send troops to help. Unexpectedly, the Huns would cross the city, and suddenly attacked, and in a hurry they prepared to retreat to the city, relying on the city to resist their onslaught.

Yan Qi smiled cruelly: "Kill into the city, property, women, are waiting for us." ”

This slogan is shouted several times a year when they go south, and they speak it with great skill.

At this time they were nearly two hundred feet away from the city gate.

The last few defenders in the city who hastily withdrew from the city gate were panicked, and the panicked appearance further aroused the mentality of the Hun soldiers to bully the weak, and the ferocity skyrocketed.

"When the people of this small town saw us, they were afraid to break their courage."

The Huns let go of their horses with all their might, trying to rush into the city before the noose was closed.

As a Hun household, Yan Qi is even more powerful.

As he galloped on horseback, he suddenly took out his longbow and bent it for arrows.

Whoosh!

Shoot three arrows in a row.

The thick noose that pulled the gate was shot by its three arrows in almost the same place.

Three arrows and three arrows!

A gap also appeared on the sling, which was thick and soaked in grease and was extremely tough, and it was difficult to be broken by arrows.

The other Hun soldiers cheered in unison.

Yan Qi seemed to have entered a special state, his eyes were fierce and focused, and he was about to continue shooting arrows, trying to break the sling, when he suddenly saw that the lights had just been extinguished, and a faint halo of lights lit up above the dark city.

The lantern is three long and one short, which is the signal that they and the Han people should agree to raise fire tonight.

The drawbridge suddenly fell, slamming into the ground with a loud bang.

Something happened above the city, and the sling was cut!

The Huns were overjoyed, this was obviously a big single in cooperation with the Han people should be arranged in Beiguan, and suddenly cut off the sling, ready to lead them into the city.

There are Xiongnu people blood surged, not waiting for the drawbridge to settle down, has ridden approaching, the horses under him jumped, rushed to the drawbridge, rushed to the city.

The smile on the corner of Yan Qi's mouth spread, and he said to the Qianqi chief beside him: "Da Shan sent me a message a few days ago to tell us to be cautious, but the Han people are so stupid, and the battle exploits are right in front of you, can you not want it?"

Our more than 10,000 people, relying on looting and supply, fighting to feed the war, and tearing apart the Han people's defense line at Beiguan are the goals of this time. Kill! ”

Kill! Kill!

The Xiongnu tribes flocked to the city to kill.

This is the time for them to show their bravery, scrambling to be the first, and Yanqi is the queen of the palace to enter the city.

After he entered, a group of Huns had already spread out on the long street, plundering everywhere.

Yan Qi found that something was wrong.

Why is the city so quiet?

The soldiers and horses that came first had already broken into the door in all directions, but there was no panicked begging for mercy and wonderful screams from the Han people.

Even many mansions were broken, and cellars were found in some mansions, but no one was found.

All the courtyards seemed empty and uninhabited.

What about the Han people, the women like the white sheep and the property?

"It's an empty city!"

"Quick, go back first, it's not right here, get out of the city!"

What kind of city is it, I rushed too hard just now, I didn't spare any strength at all, and no one even looked behind me.

Soon after they entered the city, the gates were hung again.

The rope of the suspension bridge was a yin and yang cable, one was cut on the surface, and the other was coated with ink, which was difficult to see at night, so it was secretly long and the suspension bridge was lowered. The Huns entered the city, pulled them back and closed the gates, and trapped them in the city.

The movement in the process was muffled by the sound of the hooves of the Huns themselves entering the city.

Suddenly, the walls of the city, with torches, were full of Han troops.

The Han army emptied the people in the city in advance, and because of the tight time, they only had time to empty a small city. Otherwise, if you use the big border city just now, you don't have to spend so many twists and turns, and you can directly let the Huns be fooled and pour in.

At the head of the city, Zhang Cigong's chapped lips and scarlet eyes were exceptionally bright.

All the Han troops around him are condescending.

And this is a small city, the Huns below, all within the firing range, were surrounded by the Han army on the surrounding walls, there was no way to retreat, there was no room to hide, like a trapped beast that broke into a cage.

A bunch of stupid and crazy Hun barbarians...... Zhang Cigong looked up to the sky and laughed.

Therefore, he said before that Huo Quai's strategy had a lot of energy, because this was a reverse empty city plan, and letting the Huns break in and seek death by themselves was a strategy that Huo Qubing judged the situation between the enemy and us before he was sick, and deduced and wrote it on that map for him.

It's not that the Huns are stupid.

But tonight's situation, the fire news in Beiguan, the civil strife in the border pass, all the information is right, step by step to create a rare sense of urgency, stimulating the Huns' desire to plunder, and even their contempt for the Han defenders.

Therefore, the Huns can be attracted to throw themselves into the net.

The moment they rushed into the city, these murderous Huns were only anxious, and they didn't consider that the Han people would use Beiguan to set a trap.

As for why the flame signal can be matched, it is because Zhang Cigong and the others used half a day to kill their mistakes rather than let them go, and interrogated the people here on a large scale.

The situation in front of us is too perfect.

The total annihilation of this Hun cavalry will be negligible.

The emotions in Zhang Cigong's heart were indescribable.

His eldest nephew Huo Qu is sick, and he has good skills...... Hahaha.

"Shoot arrows, throw stones, kill these Hun barbarians, and then hang the bodies of the barbarians outside Beiguan City for the Huns to see!"

"Quick, fucking arrows!" Zhang Cigong was hoarse.

The next moment, arrows rained down!
