Chapter 472: Verbal Warfare
Early the next morning, Liu Zhang led 5,000 Han troops to Shenmu County.
There were 5,000 Han troops guarding there, and Yi Zhixian personally led 20,000 Xiongnu to attack Shenmu County.
is to attract Liu Zhang, as long as he reaches Yinshan, he will be unable to escape.
Trap him there, and let him be deprived of food and water, and it would be better if he could be persuaded to surrender.
If they can't be persuaded to surrender, let them die without food and water.
Liu Zhang had long known his intentions, and he still led his army to Shenmu County.
Rescue Shenmu County from danger and wipe out the Xiongnu in Shangjun.
He will not go to Yingshan, let alone fall into the trap of the enemy.
20,000 Xiongnu are attacking Shenmu County, and the height and strength of the city walls in the county town are not as high as those in Fushi County.
There are less than 10,000 defenders in the city, and there is a lot of pressure on Shenmu County.
Liu Zhang entered from the south of the city, and Shenmu County was connected to the Great Wall.
The Xiongnu stood outside the Great Wall, they shouted and cursed, and they saw Liu Zhang again.
As long as he appears, those Huns will be unlucky.
"We met again, and you still don't give up after losing so much yesterday?"
Yesterday the Huns were injured thousands, and it is estimated that these injured Huns will not live long.
If left untreated, the wound can worsen severely.
Looking at Yi Zhixian behind the Huns, what method did he use to lure Liu Zhang to Yinshan.
"You are the general of the Huns, what is your name?"
It is estimated that the other party will not say his real name, you know, the soldiers of the Han army want to capture or kill Shan Yu alive.
"You want to know, do you dare to come out and fight me. Defeat me, and I'll tell you. ”
Liu Zhangcai will not go out to fight the other party in the field, and there are not many defenders in Shenmu County.
The cavalry brought by Yi Zhixian was the best at charging, and the war horses of the Han army were not as good as those of the Xiongnu.
Cao Xiang told him to defend the city, no matter how provocative the other party was.
Resolutely do not make a sound to fight with the other side, let alone underestimate the strength of the Huns.
Liu Zhang had fought with the Xiongnu many times and knew a little about the Xiongnu.
The Huns were good at warfare, and they practiced riding and archery from an early age.
When he attacked the tribe where the language was located, if he hadn't surrendered on his own initiative.
There must be a fierce battle with the Xiongnu, and the Han army will also be victorious, and it is not known how many casualties there will be at that time.
Seeing that the Huns outside the city are well-equipped, if they really go out to fight them.
"If you have the ability, I'll wait for you here."
"If you have the guts, you come out and fight us."
Yi Zhixian didn't plan to attack the city, so he provoked Liu Zhang.
Let him go out of the city, the Hun cavalry ran in front, and let Liu Zhang chase them behind.
Keep a distance from the Han army and lead them to the Yinshan area.
"I didn't have the guts to go out, but you didn't have the guts to call. We're just here to see if you can make it until winter comes. ”
These Huns did not grab the supplies and spent them outside the city, which was very unfavorable to them.
In the past few years, the Xiongnu were able to easily take a city and leave after grabbing supplies.
Since five years ago, the Xiongnu have grabbed fewer and fewer supplies.
To be precise, since Liu Che succeeded to the throne, the life of the Xiongnu has become more and more difficult.
The Han Dynasty broke off with the Xiongnu, and border transactions were intermittent.
"Do you stay here, or do you go back to the grasslands, and winter will be in more than four months."
It seems to be kind enough to remind them, but in fact, there is a sense of ridicule in the words.
Winter is still a few months away, and these Huns not only did not grab the supplies for the winter.
also lost people and horses, and the Huns were really blind tossed.
It seems that these Hun nobles do not have too high command ability, let's take the last few days.
Yi Zhixian took the Xiongnu to attack the city, thinking that he could take it, but finally lost his troops.
Still found nothing, he took the Huns and ran outside other counties.
And they found that there were no people outside the city, and not a grain of grain.
"Listen to my advice, and you should hurry back to the grassland. Don't come to Dahan to rob things in the future, you are thieves in this way. ”
The Xiongnu lived by looting, and this practice was not a thief.
Liu Zhang is right, since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu have hurt so many people.
He wanted to avenge the people who were enslaved and killed by the Huns, and make them pay an even heavier price.
"Liu Zhang, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent and have the courage to come out and fight us."
"I won't go out, you can call if you have the ability."
Liu Zhang smiled proudly, if the Huns dared to attack the city, then let them still be like yesterday.
Due to the recent successive defeats of the Xiongnu warfare, the morale of the Xiongnu has been frustrated.
"It's a man, come out to fight our Huns, don't shrink in the city like a turtle."
Yi Zhixian still uses the agitation method, seeing that Liu Zhang is so young, he definitely can't stand the stimulation.
He was not as calm as some of the veterans who wanted to make meritorious contributions.
"Didn't you think about who I was, just caught me. Fenghou is not a dream, it depends on whether you dare to come out. ”
If he told Liu Zhang about them, he was a Xiongnu Shan Yu.
Liu Zhang, will they kill them, so can he get out of the way.
It's hard to say, he wasn't sure how many Han troops there were in the city.
"I might as well tell you, I'm the Great Hun Shan Yu. You may not believe me when I say this. ”
He decides to take a risk, and if he wants to achieve his goal, he must reveal his identity.
After hearing this, the Han soldiers on the city wall were skeptical.
Is it possible for the Xiongnu to come over in person?
And with only such a small number of people, are you not afraid of danger?
"You say you're a Hun Shan Yu, it's hard to believe."
Liu Zhang knew that he was Yi Zhixian, and the others didn't believe it.
He will not lead the Han army out rashly, unless there are 100,000 Han troops here to be sure.
Only then did he have the certainty of catching Yi Zhixian, no one had ever seen him.
Other Han soldiers speculated that this Xiongnu general had been instructed to heal, and that he was impersonating Xiongnu Shan Yu.
"You don't believe it, these Hun warriors are well-equipped, it's the first time you've seen them."
Yi Zhi smiled proudly, the armor worn by these Xiongnu was all snatched from the arsenal of the Han Dynasty.
The armor was changed to the style that the Huns liked, and he looked at Yi Zhi with a smug and defiant look.
The Han army gritted their teeth with anger, and the armor worn by the Huns was snatched from their Han Dynasty.
The Xiongnu showed off to the Han army that most of the weapons in their hands were looted.
"You show off those weapons and equipment, those are outdated."
True, the equipment of the Han army was updated every few years.
These equipment that the Xiongnu are proud of were all used by the Han army more than ten years ago.
It's really a bit outdated, and the Huns probably think that tinkering can still be used.
In recent years, the Xiongnu could not grab the more advanced equipment of the Han army.
The Huns suddenly couldn't laugh, which meant that the equipment they used was already obsolete and broken.
Look at how new the equipment of those Han troops is, the Huns are also very envious of the Han army.
They were able to change their equipment frequently and were given large quantities of food.
The Han army on the border was well fed and fed, and the Xiongnu could only starve.
At this moment, some Han soldiers brought a few processed sheep.
They were going to barbecue meat on the city tower, and the smell of barbecue would drift to the Xiongnu side with the wind.
"Everyone is hungry too, and today I invite everyone to eat barbecue. Whatever flavor you want to eat, you can dip it yourself later. ”
Part of the Han army continued to defend the city, and part began to barbecue.
The lamb is marinated, roasted for a while, and the aroma wafts around.
A bottle of Coke per person, you can't drink alcohol at this time.
Some Han soldiers drank Coke, and the sweetness of Coke was moderate.
After drinking, it can make people feel happy for a short time, and the roast lamb is sizzling with oil.
Those Huns also smelled it, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
They felt that the Han army on the city tower was really luxurious, and they saw that they took a lot of meat and came to the city tower.
Smoke rose from the castle tower, and it happened that a light wind was blowing today.
The wind blew towards Yi Zhi's side, and he couldn't help frowning.
This move by the Han army was a slap in the face of the Xiongnu and a blow to the morale of the Xiongnu.
I have to say that the barbecue they make is really fragrant.
Yi Zhixian eats meat three times a day, and usually puts a little salt on the barbecue.
The barbecue he usually eats is far worse than the barbecue made by Liu Zhang.
Each of them had a bottle in their hands with a tan liquid in it.
They may be drinking wine, and drinking at this time is a taboo for soldiers.
When they were drunk, the Xiongnu could attack the city and take it easily.
Yi Zhixian thought wrongly, Liu Zhang and the others were not drinking.
After Han Jun drank it, he looked like he was enjoying it.
The cola is chilled, and you can eat the delicious barbecue after a while.
They laughed happily and watched the Huns get very hungry.
Anyway, they couldn't get in for a while, and the Han army had enough food and drink to have the strength to defend.
"Today's meat tube is enough, and only when you are full can you resist the invasion of the Huns."
Liu Zhang's words encouraged everyone, and in the future, he would provide sufficient meat for the Han army.
I wonder if the Xiongnu will attack Shenmu County today? If they can't beat it, how long will they stay here?
