Nine Plains City.

In an old house near several barns.

Jiawen and squinted his eyes that had been nesting all day.

Finally, I waited for the light of the fire that pierced the darkness in the distance.

"Huh?"

"Then why is it so bright?"

One of the defenders at the barn also noticed this scene at this moment.

The screaming alarm alarmed the leader of the defenders.

Walked out with a few people, and the probe shook to look in the direction of the fire.

In the dark night, a bright flame was rising little by little.

It gradually expanded and enlarged, and in a short time it lit up half of the street.

"It can't be a fire, right?"

In this dry winter, if there is a big fire, it is not easy to extinguish.

The leader of the defenders frowned.

The firelight was only a few hundred paces away.

If you really let it burn, I'm afraid that the chaos of extinguishing the fire will spread to the vicinity of the warehouse.

When the time comes, if something goes wrong, it will be a dereliction of duty.

He turned his head and scolded.

"Fifty people will follow me to extinguish the fire, and the rest will guard the warehouse for me, and I will not be allowed to leave a single step!"

Everyone nodded, but they kept looking curiously in the direction of the firelight.

The leader led the men away.

But after a while, two more people ran back.

"The fire is too big, a few more people will come and push the water wheel."

"I'll come, I'll come."

The soldiers who liked to join in the fun suddenly crowded forward.

Dozens more left.

Now the barn defenders are half less.

But Jiawenhe leaned to the corner and listened to the movement, but still didn't go out.

At this moment, behind the door of another house not far from him.

The leader of the barn was vigilantly scanning the barn through the crack in the door.

Behind him, there were nearly a hundred covert guards.

"We've been secretly looking around just now, and we haven't found anyone."

The leader waved his hand slightly.

"The patriarch is leading the army in front, and at such a critical juncture, a fire suddenly appears, and it happens to be opposite the forage barn? How could it be an accident? Definitely problematic. ”

"It is likely that there is an enemy who can't defeat the patriarch head-on, so he will find a way to enter the city and burn forage and grain, so that the patriarch's army will lose supplies and retreat without a fight."

Although what the leader said is very reasonable.

But the soldier was still a little worried, looking at the gradually growing flames not far away.

The fire had even alarmed the defenders on the walls in the distance.

The leader frowned, although he secretly turned back, but the dozens of people he brought with him were sent to put out the fire.

"Carrying water, why is it so slow?"

No one answered, and the soldiers only wanted to go and put out the fire as soon as possible, because if it burned any longer, there would be their reserve granary next to it.

Although it may not be used, it is not much less important than a forage barn.

The leader apparently realized this as well, and sighed.

"Thirty more people, and immediately suppress the fire."

As the words fell, thirty more people rushed from the back door to the well.

The leader continued to squint around the barn.

Half an hour passed.

There was still silence all around.

And the fire in the distance has not only not decreased, but has even had a tendency to spread.

The leader finally sensed something was wrong.

His expression tightened.

"Not good! There are quite a few people on the other side. ”

"Something must have happened at the well!"

After saying that, he hurriedly led a hundred people from the house to the well.

When they ran over, they found that around the wide well, several soldiers were constantly drawing water from the well and filling it into the water truck.

The leader can't figure it out now, where is the enemy?

He exhaled, could it be that he was suspicious.

Turning to look at the soldiers, he scolded.

"Hurry up, if we burn down the granary, none of us will end well!"

When he had finished speaking, he prepared to take men to the place where the fire was to be checked.

What the hell is going on.

But as soon as he took a step, the corner of his eye suddenly swept to the ground not far away, and there was a trail of blood.

The leader's pupils shrank instantly.

Turn around and have to be big.

But the voice had not yet sounded.

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

Dense crossbow arrows were shot out of the courtyards in all directions.

The hundred soldiers behind him fell like weeds.

The leader's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that the other party could touch so many people in the city.

But at this moment, it was too late to say anything, and he could only scream desperately.

Shout out "Enemy Attack!" Two words.

At this time, several Hun soldiers who were originally standing next to the well suddenly began to shout with all their might.

"There was a fire! There was a fire! ”

"Come and put out the fire!"

These people had very loud voices, and they actually suppressed the word enemy attack.

The leader was so angry that the place had already been taken by the enemy.

The two groups of people he sent have already been killed.

He had clearly expected an enemy.

But why is he still being played with by the other party?

He wanted to rush out, he wanted to call for reinforcements.

He desperately fended off the enemy's crossbow arrows, even at the cost of using the bodies of his brothers.

Finally, he ran to the corner.

The arrow couldn't reach him, and he had a chance to call for help.

At this moment, the leader was extremely excited.

"Help! Ask for help, these people are going to die! ”

It just so happened that a group of hundreds of people guarding the city gate in the distance was attracted because of the fire.

Before he could get closer, the leader shouted desperately.

"Enemy attack!"

The voice echoed over the entire Nine Plains City.

The moment he said these two words, he only felt relaxed.

I've survived, and it's time for the enemies to fear.

When the hundreds of soldiers in front of them heard this, they immediately ran forward.

He could already clearly see the bronze scale armor on these people.

The leader gritted his teeth and pointed to the well of corpses in the distance.

"There are ambushes with bows and crossbows on the other side, at least a hundred people."

"They want to divert the tiger from the mountain to burn forage, and I found out and ambushed here!"

"Don't force it, just besiege it!"

"Shout that the general will lead his troops to come and encircle and suppress them again!"

The leader said excitedly.

The other party also drew his weapon.

"Poof!"

The sword stabbed into his chest.

The leader's eyes widened, his face full of consternation.

Until he could see that the scale armor of this reinforcement was covered with blood.

Only then did they understand that they were wearing the armor of the first two waves of soldiers.

"Uh~uh~."

With a final struggle in his throat, the leader looked sideways at the hay bin he was guarding.

There was no fire.

He smiled, and his duty was finally done.

Such a movement must have alarmed the surrounding defenders, and by the time they all arrived, the enemy had no chance to burn the fodder.

But the old Zhao slave who plunged the sword into his chest remembered his family who had been tortured to death.

I can't see that the Huns are good to die.

A grim face whispered in his ear.

"Why burn?"

"When we kill all 20,000 of you, aren't these all ours?"

"Thank you for keeping this forage for us!"

The leader's eyes widened suddenly.

His reaction suddenly began to be violent, as if he wanted to reach out and grab the other party, and with the last of his strength, he tore off a piece of the enemy's flesh.

Unfortunately, the spinning blade eventually drained all his strength.

Only a corpse with an unwilling face was left behind.

The sound of the enemy attack finally alarmed the 20,000 defenders in the city.

In all directions, the Huns were gathering here.

The leader of the branch led by him was even more angry.

The patriarch is fighting in front, if something happens to Jiuyuan City behind this, he is afraid that he will be guilty of death!

"I really don't know whether to live or die!"

"Leave five thousand men on the wall to keep watch around, and the rest will kick open every room for me."

"If I find these rats, I'll skin them and hang them on the wall."

After saying that, they had come to the well.

In the light of the fire in the distance, the corpses all over the ground made the branch leader even more angry.

can shoot 100 people so quickly, and the opponent has at least 300 people.

And it was well armed, and everyone had a bow and crossbow.

"Were all the people who searched when they entered the city blind?"

"Hundreds of people can't see it right under their noses?"

But after drinking angrily, he had to encircle and suppress it first.

Settle accounts with those people afterwards.

He led thousands of people with torches, and approached the streets little by little.

In the distance, there are also several teams of 1,000 people approaching.

From the sky, five or six flames gradually moved closer to the fire area in the center.

When they came closer, they found that there was not even a human figure.

The branch leader frowned suddenly.

What the hell is going on.

At this time, several other teams in the distance also arrived.

The leader of the branch was about to ask.

A scream came from the east.

The last of the two thousand men seemed to have met with a fierce resistance.

The head of the branch vein had a tense face.

"Come with me!"

"I'd like to see how big a rat is hidden in the city!"

"When the patriarch returns, I will behead the general who searched the city!"

At the moment, it is on the east side of the street, which is very close to the wooden shed area.

The Hun soldiers tried their best to hide the arrows that were shooting everywhere.

The whole street, there will be corpses everywhere, there will be blood stains everywhere.

There were not many of their 2,000 men left.

You can only see through the firelight, and the rooftops on both sides of the street are densely packed with human figures.

The Huns simply did not understand how so many enemies could get in!

And the leader of that vein also rushed here at this moment.

He looked at the scene in front of him with a shocked expression.

"Where are there thousands of enemies?"

At this moment, I can't care about the reason.

He was just about to give the order, and everyone surrounded and counterattacked.

But the next moment, more enemies popped up from all directions.

Not only the houses on both sides, alleys.

Even the streets of the East were dark.

The men carried bows and crossbows in their hands and long swords around their waists.

shouted the slogan: "Kill all the Hu people, take revenge".

There are tens of thousands.

The leader of the branch was already stunned at the moment.

He muttered a sentence.

"It's not a fucking mouse, they're hiding a tiger in a den!"

Rushing and killing in all directions did not give the Huns time to react at all.

The 30,000 old Zhao soldiers were eager to eat their blood and gnaw their flesh.

One by one, they forgot to die.

Killing one is enough, killing two is enough to earn.

Such a blatant style almost crushed the formation of the Huns at the first meeting.

Everywhere there was the sound of screaming and killing.

There were enemies everywhere, as if there were people waiting for them on every roof.

One by one, the guards around the leader of the branch fell.

He couldn't even tell which way he should be attacking.

There are only a few of the thousands of soldiers under his command.

The leader of the branch was full of despair.

He was very sure that he had guarded the walls so firmly that the other party could never have come in from outside the city.

At this moment, he only wants to chop the generals who were responsible for searching the city when he entered the city into minced meat.

……

In the distance, Jia Wenhe also walked out of the small courtyard.

On his side were a hundred soldiers who had just cleared the forage barn defenders.

The leading soldier shook his hand full of blood and said.

"It's really hard to prevent them from burning the forage and grain before they die."

Jia Wenhe replied with a glare.

"What's the effort?"

"The eldest son led the troops to confront tens of thousands of iron horsemen head-on, that is the real effort!"

"Give us 30,000 men, leaving a city of 20,000 defenders."

"It's still a sneak attack at any time, it's so simple that it couldn't be simpler!"

After the words were finished, Jia Wenhe waved his hand again.

"This time, we have saved so much forage and grain, enough for hundreds of thousands of horses and tens of thousands of soldiers to eat for more than a month."

"Jiuyuan City will become a nail pierced into the neck of the Huns!"

"Even if it is the beginning of spring next year, the royal court army will fight back, and if you want to take such a solid Jiuyuan City, I am afraid that you will have to pay a huge price."

"If the eldest son is still enterprising, it can become an excellent base to threaten the Great Wall of Yinshan in the north."

Jia Wenhe is very satisfied with his initiative.

"Only tens of thousands of troops need to be left here, and the Huns can be tossed and turned."

"It's a good move!"

……

At the same time as a big battle was taking place in the streets.

The five thousand defenders on the tower were also caught off guard by the old Zhao soldiers who suddenly appeared behind them.

The Huns had no cavalry advantage, and were already at a disadvantage compared to the Qin army's strong crossbows and sharp swords.

Coupled with the surprise attack from behind, the city was plunged into a sea of fire, and the leader did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Within two hours, the walls had fallen completely.

The black Qinzi banner was also erected again on the head of Jiuyuan City.

In the streets below, the battle is also nearing its end.

The leader of the Huyan clan was captured alive in front of Jia Wenhe.

He still couldn't believe how the Qin people appeared in the city.

The first thing I saw when I met Jia Wenhe was a question.

"How the hell did you get in?"

Jiawen and smiled slightly.

"I've never left, huh?"

The words fell, but the leader of the vein laughed miserably.

He'd already guessed something.

But when I really heard it, I still felt more sad than dead.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

"There is a beast squatting on the side of the couch without knowing it, and I want to go forward to challenge the beastmaster!"

"Hu Yan Zhuoyuan, you are blind and unjust!"

The words fell, and Jiawen He was just about to interrogate, but saw the leader of the branch suddenly stand up.

The hands tied behind his back suddenly grasped something, and rushed straight to Jiawenhe in front of him.

Jiawenhe's eyes widened.

Shout.

"Stop!"

It's a pity that it was too late, and the soldiers on both sides instantly swung out the long swords in their hands.

"Boom."

The leader of the branch rolled to the ground with a mocking smile on his face.

Jiawen closed his eyes and sighed.

"This guy is asking for death!"

"He must know the distribution of the major tribes in the royal court, if he can be tortured, it will not be beneficial to the Northern Expedition of the prince in the future!"

The soldiers who shot on the side also knew that they were reckless.

What the leader of the branch vein is holding in his hand is just a jade pendant, where did he get the murder weapon.

But the matter has come to this, and Jia Wenhe is not saying anything.

He waved his hand and said.

"That's it, clean up the whole city without leaving a living mouth."

"Leave 10,000 men to defend the city, and the rest will organize their armaments and select horses."

He looked up at the main battlefield of Yunzhong County in the east.

Eyes narrowed slightly.

"Tomorrow at dawn, follow me from behind."

"Surprise attack on the Huyan clan!"

"Let Childe see the riding skills of our old Zhao people!"
