Shu Yan glared angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "You barbarians, when the Central Plains was strong, you came to worship, bowed your head, and wanted to suck carbuncles and lick hemorrhoids; On the contrary, when the Central Plains was in decline, the true colors of jackals immediately appeared, their teeth were exposed, and they took a bite back, without any morality. The reason why I have some reputation is that I practice loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. Even if I am a puppet, I can't change my temperament, not to mention that I now represent Ruyin and the nation, how can I give in to Hu Kou? ”

After listening to Shu Yan's angry scolding, Liu Mang was not surprised at all, and smiled coldly: "That's right, you have integrity, this is your real Shu Yan." But your integrity is useless now. To tell you the truth, I sent troops this time not only to capture Ruyin City, but also two special demands, and I am afraid that you will not agree to it. ”

"I don't care if you're special or not, and I won't agree to any requests from you."

"I know you won't promise me, but I'm afraid I can't help you. I might as well tell you my request first, so that you can understand it, and I can hate Jiuquan. Don't wait for my army to come out later, in case you die in the chaos first, it will be too cheap for you. ”

"You!" Seeing Liu Mang's despicable and sinister appearance, Shu Yan gritted his teeth. He didn't know what else Liu Mang had to ask for in addition to Ruyin City, "Although I won't agree to you, I really want to know what else you want besides the city?" ”

"The first one is not too difficult for you, a rarity, and that is the elephant in the woods. In Luoyang that year, I saw the Nanyue people presenting elephants to the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, which was mighty and magical. Now that the Jin dynasty has declined, my Han Emperor came into being, and he should also enjoy the glory of mercy, so I want to bring it back and dedicate it to my majesty. ”

Shu Yan smiled coldly: "Liu Cong is shameless to trespass the Han number. He is just a traitor to Fanbang, how can he be worthy of being called a son if he is lucky enough to gain power for a while? Besides, this image belongs to Brother Ruan, and I will not give it to you. I won't agree to this one, which is not an embarrassing request, what more can you go further? ”

"Three women."

"Three women?" Shu Yan couldn't help but show disdain, "You yourself are full of achievements, and you boast of being a royal family, but you are worried about women, are you really not afraid of being made fun of by the world?" ”

"I'm also a royal family, will there be a shortage of women? In fact, these three women are not ordinary women, and they must be demanded from you and the charisher. Liu Mang ignored Shu Yan's astonishment and continued, "I have been in Luoyang for many years, and I have made friends with powerful people, and I can be regarded as famous, and my status is above the envoys of all countries, but there is one thing that I regret. It was only because of the Yuanzheng Conference that year that the Xianbei envoy Yuwen Xi was fortunate to witness the princesses' elegant gatherings in Hualin Garden by chance, and there were two stunning beauties who made him fascinated. Designed by the two of us, in the name of fighting poetry, I want to earn two beauties. Unexpectedly, he failed miserably, not only failed to hold the beauty, but lost face, and still can't let go. Later, I learned that these two people, one is the seventeenth princess and the other is Han Zhixin. It's really a coincidence, they actually married Shi Biyu and you respectively. Favored by me. I am now here with strong soldiers, and the entire Ruyin is in my hands, and the city of Zheng is broken, and the prince is in his hands, and he can also hold the beauty, and the hatred of a curtain of years can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Hahaha. ”

Shu Yan hit the top beam angrily and snorted: "Back then, you coveted the beauty of the palace, which was despicable and shameless. Now the three of them have long been married. is still suspicious, it is better to be a beast! ”

"Haha. If I'm not mistaken, you should think that the three women I have include your other wife, Jiang Mo, right? Liu Mang shook his head again and again, "Your Mrs. Jiang is beautiful, but only you can control it, I don't dare to covet the three women I said, two are for myself, and the other is for Ah Zhuang to ask for the Xianbei maid Ah Miao beside Shi Gongma." ”

Shu Yan saw Ah Zhuang immediately showed a look of gratitude and pride, and said with disdain: "You two are both raccoon dogs. Ah Zhuang is a subordinate, and he doesn't know that etiquette is still excusable. You are a nobleman, and you used to be polite and polite in a gorgeous costume. I didn't expect that the surface was sanctimonious, but in fact it was even more despicable and shameless. I want to snatch a wife! ”

Liu Mang smiled, not only was he not ashamed, but he said something even more shameless: "It's not bad that I don't think they are half old and decrepit." Back then, Wei Wu Cao Cao was a good wife, and he was also a big husband. Could it be that Wei Wu lacks young and beautiful virgins around him? Of course, there is no shortage. A good woman is like a BMW pearl, the weak lose it, and the strong take it. Possession of his woman is more disgraceful to him than possession of his city's goods, which is called the shame of taking love. is not only greedy for its beauty, but also for the victor to show off. Especially the former seventeenth princess, as the daughter of Emperor Wu, is more meaningful than your Mrs. Han. When Luoyang fell, how many princesses and princesses of the Jin family fell into the hands of my Han generals, and they became a beautiful talk for a while, but I was alone. won the seventeenth princess this time, and she can also show off in front of people. ”

Shu Yan couldn't bear it anymore at this time, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "I heard that your Huns 'father died and his wife and stepmother, and his brother died and married a widow and sister-in-law'." Now I will fulfill your brother, and first make your wife your brother-in-law!" ”

As he spoke, he took off the heavy bow of the dark iron.

Liu Mang had not yet perceived the danger. Ah Zhuang has learned Shu Yan's archery skills. He knew that Shu Yan's heavy bow was a big killing move as soon as he struck, and he had already taken precautions, holding a big shield, and immediately lifted his horse forward, shouting: "King flash flash!" Protect the King! ”

But it was still too late, and Ah Zhuang didn't have time to protect at all. A long arrow shot straight at Liu Mang's chest. Liu Mang naturally couldn't dodge, and in a panic, he flashed, but he was shot in his left arm, piercing the bright silver armor, revealing the arrow, and the blood flowed. This arrow was shot in the arm, if it was shot in the chest, Liu Mangyan would be killed!

Shu Yan used the stunt of three arrows in a row, after the first arrow, the second arrow, and the third arrow came out one after another. His arrows are steady, accurate, and fast, and if you want to use the weapon in your hand to block it, you basically can't do it. But in the blink of an eye between the first arrow and the second arrow, Ah Zhuang had already gained time and quickly protected himself and Liu Mang's bodies with a big shield. Both long arrows were embedded in the shield Zheng

Immediately afterwards, Shu Yan made three arrows in a row. If the shield can't be shot, it shoots the lower part. One arrow hit Liu Mang's leg, and two arrows hit the horse's belly. The war horse couldn't support it and threw Liu Mang down. Liu Mang is used to being pampered, but he is not as solid as Ah Zhuang, and with two arrows in his body, he can't stand up after this fall.

Shu Yan took out three more arrows, but saw that the personal guards behind Liu Mang had swarmed around him, but the arrows were not missing, and the three arrows shot three personal guards respectively.

This Hun army is battle-hardened. Shu Yan is just one step ahead, how could the other party allow him to perform alone? Seeing that Liu Mang was no longer in danger, Ah Zhuang quickly turned around, waved the spear in his hand forward, and shouted: "Kill Shu Yan and take down Ruyin!" ”

Liu Mang was shot two arrows by Shu Yan, angry and afraid, regardless of the bleeding and pain, he sat on the ground and cheered up the Hun soldiers: "Whoever kills Shu Yan will be rewarded with one million dollars and given a marquis!" ”

On the battlefield, military merit is the most effective incentive. The Hun soldiers were already brave, and under the heavy reward, they moved forward even more bravely.

Shu Yan also wanted to use this method to motivate his soldiers, but unfortunately he not only had no right to be knighted, but he couldn't even get the reward. However, he has a way, and material incentives can't be done, but he can be inspired by justice: "The Xiongnu jackal, harm my son, and destroy my country." Now they are going to invade my Ruyin, kill my father, lewd my women, take my property, and destroy my home, are my sons and men willing to be cowards? Kill me! ”

In life-or-death situations, spiritual incentives are much more effective than material ones. This trick really worked, and the Ruyin soldiers fought bravely to be the first, and did not flinch in the face of the Hun iron cavalry. One side is bound to win, and the other side is to defend the country. Tens of thousands of people scuffled in one place, and the scene was spectacular.

Husband war courage also. On the battlefield, courage is more important than equipment. But when the two brave meet, what they fight is their real strength.

The reason why the fledgling Ruyin soldiers were able to defeat the Hun cavalry last time was because of a courage, and they adopted the tactics of keeping people on the ground and fighting one more. But this time, the Huns had 20,000 iron cavalry alone, and 30,000 infantry, while Shu Yan only had 20,000 infantry.

At this time, there were thousands of dead and wounded on both sides. However, the advantage of the cavalry side became more and more obvious, and its own side gradually became weaker. If this continues, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

You can't be brutal, you can't suffer immediate losses, and act according to the plan immediately! Shu Yan raised his gun into the air. Ruoxin could see clearly from behind, and immediately ordered Mingjin. When the soldiers heard the sound of the gong, they hurriedly retreated to the rear, but instead of swarming, they were broken off by the brave and retreated in an orderly manner.

The Hun cavalry saw that the Ruyin soldiers were defeated, and pursued them on horseback. Who knew that the Ruyin soldiers retreated, and three thousand archers appeared behind them, and the Huns were caught off guard by a random number of arrows, and the cavalry who rushed in front were shot under their horses. However, the Xiongnu have always been known for their cavalry and archery, and they have never lost in terms of bows and arrows. They reacted quickly and drew their bows and arrows for reflexes.

Faced with a rain of arrows ten times their own, the Ruyin archers certainly couldn't resist it. Shu Yan arranged these archers mainly to cover his retreat and gain time, not to achieve the goal of killing, these archers all hid in the dense forest on the side of the road, and the Zheng Xiongnu cavalry did not bother to chase and kill this part of the people, but went directly to the south, pursued and killed the large army led by Shu Yan, and took Ruyin City directly by the way.

Ah Zhuang took the lead, with resentment towards Shu Yan and complicated love and resentment towards Ah Miao in his heart, shouting that under the heavy reward of the big sword, his soldiers followed closely behind, all of them bravely, all wanting to kill Shu Yan and seize Ruyin City.

After chasing for several miles, he was about to catch up with the rear of the Ruyin soldiers, but he saw a dirt slope in front of him. Hundreds of large wooden shelves are lined up on the dirt slope.

"Not good!" These soldiers are all battle-hardened, and some of them have already recognized that this is a catapult and know that it is not good. But it was too late.

Hundreds of artillery wagons struck together, and in an instant, flying stones rained down. This 100-hundred-catapult cannon cart was repeatedly tested and studied by Shu Yan, striving to have the longest range and the greatest power. Coupled with the condescending, the power is doubled. The stones all fell on the Hun soldiers in the distance, but the Ruyin soldiers who were a little closer could be unharmed.

The Huns wanted to shoot the slingers with strong bows, but each artillery carriage was covered by a shield in front of it, and it could not be implemented. The cavalry is heavily armoured, and it can play a good role in protecting the killing of sharp weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows, but it has little effect on the stones that weigh more than ten catties and are empowered with ten times the strength. The rest of the infantry, lightly armoured, were even more defenseless. In just a moment or so, the Huns were already in chaos, suffering heavy losses, and wailing all over the field.

Kill Shu Yan and take Ah Miao. Ah Zhuang was angry for a long time, and he was about to succeed, but he failed again, and he was so angry that he screamed and almost wanted to cry. Although he is unwilling, he is the leader, and it is important to save his life now. If you take risks aggressively and cause your own side to lose too much, not only will it be useless, but you will also be dealt with by military law. In desperation, he had to lead the Huns to retreat.

Shu Yan led his troops to cover and kill from behind, chased them for several miles, and just chased the Hun soldiers to the dense forest. Seeing that the gun carriage was out of range and the flying stones were no longer a threat, Ah Zhuang wanted to immediately turn around and lead his troops to fight back. If the Huns counterattacked, Shu Yan would still be invincible.

At this moment, the 3,000 crossbowmen in the dense forest began to exert their strength again, and the arrows shot at the Huns on the road like locusts. The Hun cavalry wanted to enter the forest, but found several turns of large iron chains around the trees on the outskirts of the dense forest. Men can get in short, but horses can't get in at all.

These 3,000 crossbowmen hid in the darkness of the jungle with ease. And the Hun soldiers were exposed, and there was nowhere to show their ability. It's like the meat on the top.

Seeing that all the soldiers fell one after another, Ah Zhuang dared to turn back and fight with Shu Yan, so he had to continue to retreat. Shu Yan continued to take advantage of the victory to cover up the killing.

The defeated army was like a mountain. The Huns never expected to encounter such a defeat and were not psychologically prepared. After a defeat, the army was defeated.

In this battle, the Xiongnu lost more than 10,000 people. However, its main force still exists, and it must not be careless. Shu Yan didn't dare to pursue too far. Because this victory was entirely due to their own surprising ambush, if they chased too far and did not have the assistance of catapults and jungle archers, they would still not be the opponent of the Huns.

Shu Yan accepted it when he saw it and confiscated a large amount of loot. However, this time the Huns did not retreat directly like last time, but chose a safe place twenty miles away and set up camp. Obviously, if you don't break Ruyin, you won't give up, and you will fight to the end with Shu Yan. Shu Yan had no choice but to accompany him to the end, leading the troops out of the camp and guarding the dense forest and high slopes.

The two camps were twenty miles apart. Shu Yan did not dare to drive the enemy rashly; Liu Mang's vitality was greatly damaged, and he did not dare to attack the siege for the time being. The two sides confronted each other like this.
