Chapter Eighty-Three: Outside Taiyuan City
Letting the blood flow from his chest, Lin Mu grabbed the Huns' neck and pulled the Huns' head off.
The Huns' body fell to the ground with a thud, leaving only the head still in Lin Mu's hand, and the Hun's mouth was still squirming, as if he wanted to say something.
Lin Mu casually threw the head in his hand aside, and then walked along the place where the Huns had run.
Less than half an hour after walking, a noisy sound came.
In the city of Taiyuan, Yang Chou is dismantling the houses in the city, and Yang Chou has been guarding the city for more than a month.
At first, Yang Chou didn't want to go to any court at all, where would he be free to go to the court to be a prince.
And Yang Chouke not only sent a document to the imperial court, but he also sent a document to Yuan Shao in Jizhou and Cao Cao in Yanzhou.
The document said that he had taken refuge in Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but these two didn't seem to be in the mood to care about him now.
Yuan Shao is now plotting against Qingzhou, but there are too many Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and he can't take it in a short time.
Cao Cao didn't look for anything, although Cao Ren was officially called a thief by the imperial court, but so what?
For example, the princes of all parties today, are there still those who listen to the order of the Son of Heaven to crusade against those who are not subservient?
Not at all, people with this heart don't have that strength, and people with this strength don't have that heart.
Several Han clans didn't even want to take care of it, Liu Yan is now the emperor of the soil in Yizhou, Liu Biao is at ease in Jingzhou, although Liu Yu has the intention of respecting the imperial court, but now he is missing.
Not to mention Yuan Shu, after Sun Jian broke several cities in Yangzhou and Jingzhou one after another, Yuan Shu, who had greatly increased his power, had already regarded the words of the imperial court as a fart.
As for the other small forces, even if they came, they couldn't save him at all.
Now the only hope is the imperial court, but will the imperial court send troops to save him?
Yang Chou's heart was desperate, and he realized that there might not be anyone to save him.
But it didn't come to an end, and no one dared to relax in the slightest.
What if someone sends troops to help?
At this moment, a soldier came to tell Yang Chou.
"General, the Huns outside the city have withdrawn!"
Yang Chou glanced up at the sky and found that it was only at this time (3-5).
"How could it be, the Hun army had been attacking until Chenshi a few days ago, how could they withdraw so early today?"
The soldier just shook his head.
"I don't know."
Yang Chou thought for a moment, asked his soldiers to continue to demolish the house, and then walked towards the city wall himself.
Taiyuan County is located in the north, which is already cold, and now that it is winter, it is even colder.
But even so, Yang Chou has to demolish the house, because there is no way.
The incident happened suddenly, and he did not prepare any decent equipment to defend the city at all, so he could only use rolling wood and stones.
At first there were trees in the city, but after ten days there were nothing.
So they had to tear down the stones of the houses and use them to defend the city.
Fortunately, the people in the city also understood that if the city was broken, they were afraid that it would not end well, so they also helped to demolish their houses.
Now that it has been demolished, it can be rebuilt in the future, but if it is not demolished, I am afraid that there will be no chance to live again.
Yang Chou walked to the city wall and cautiously looked outside the city, the expected arrow did not hit, Yang Chou was bolder.
The Huns were good at archery on horseback, but the Huns at this time may not be very good at arrows, so the distance is very limited.
But even if it is limited, it can shoot sixty or seventy paces away, so there are often Huns who sneak up on the defenders on the city wall.
"Huh? What happened to these Huns? ”
Yang Chou soon discovered that these Huns did not care about them at all, but kept sending people from the city to the south.
Although the Huns had abnormalities, Yang Chou did not dare to act rashly.
This boundary is the Great Plains, even if it can break through, it will be chased and killed by the Huns, and it may be better to defend the city at that time.
A soldier looked at the string of Huns under the city, and said with joy in his heart.
"Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?"
Yang Chou glanced at the Xiongnu in the south, and then nodded.
"Maybe reinforcements have arrived."
When Yang Chou said this, all the soldiers present cheered.
When the people in the city heard this, they also cheered, after all, this feeling of waiting for death is really uncomfortable.
Seeing the people around him cheering up, there was a trace of bitterness on Yang Chou's face.
The reinforcements are actually nonsense, if the reinforcements are really coming, the Huns under the city still dare to block the door, are they really not afraid of being attacked from inside and outside?
And this time only two hundred to five hundred people will be transferred, isn't this a refueling tactic?
No matter how stupid the Huns were, how could they make such a low-level mistake.
When the two armies are fighting, they want to crush the opponent in one go, and make up one team at a time, so what's the difference between that and sending them to death?
The reason why Yang Chou said that there were reinforcements was because of morale, and now Taiyuan has been defended for more than a month.
If we keep it, I'm afraid that the house will be demolished, but then it will be even colder.
The Huns didn't have to do anything at all, they just had to keep consuming them, and when winter came, they could be defeated.
Now the Huns are doing exactly this, the weather is getting colder and colder, and many soldiers have been frostbitten on their hands and feet.
Morale is low, and the weather is getting colder, if you don't say that reinforcements are coming, how long can this morale last?
It's better to say that reinforcements are coming, which has boosted morale, at least in the last few days.
It was getting late, and when it was night, Yang Chou fell asleep with his clothes together.
The next morning, the first thing Yang Chou did when he woke up was to go to the city wall to have a look, Yang Chou walked out of the door and suddenly seemed to feel something, and stretched out his hand.
Soon a white snowflake fell into Yang Chou's hand, the snowflake was white and flawless, and the size of a goose feather.
The temperature of the palm of the hand quickly melted the snowflakes, but soon two more pieces fell into the hand.
Yang Chou looked up and saw that it had begun to snow in the sky.
The snow was falling one after another, and it looked white and beautiful.
But Yang Chou's mood fell to the bottom, with such a heavy snowfall, the stored heating materials were about to start to be consumed.
But there are not many things that cause fire, a few days ago I lost a lot of rolling logs out of the city, although some of them were left, but there are really not many left.
Yang Chou came to the southern city wall to command the defense of the city today, but soon found that something seemed wrong.
It seems that there are fewer Huns besieging the city today, is it because of snow?
But soon Yang Chou found that another group of soldiers among the Huns was heading south.
Yang Chou's brows furrowed, he couldn't understand what these Huns were doing.
"How many Huns have been transferred?"
Yang Chou asked one of the soldiers guarding the city beside him.
"General, if it is connected to yesterday, I am afraid that there will be more than 3,000 people."
