Chapter 109: The Huns are coming
And the state, the county guard of Shuofang County.
Since Xiao Yun left, he often needs to review the bills on behalf of Xiao Yun, count the income and expenditure of the two counties, and also need him to make decisions when encountering some urgent matters, which makes Chen Hong more stressed.
Although he also has some talent and ability, he still feels a little powerless to let him handle the government affairs of the two counties, and can only hope that Xiao Yun must find a few talents in government affairs when he goes out this time!
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and the sound came from far and near.
"My lord, something is wrong! the Huns are coming!" said one of the heralds out of breath.
"What ......!"
Chen Hong stood up silently, shocked and angry in his heart, what he was most afraid of was that the Hu people would attack, after all, Xiao Yun was not there, the 150,000 recruits he had just recruited had only been trained for more than five months, and he had not yet been on the battlefield, and the three generals left by Lu Bu were now only Hao Shun and Hou Chengzai!
"How many men and horses have the Xiongnu come? Where are they now? Have the two generals, Gao Shun and Hou Cheng, been notified?" Chen Hong immediately asked the herald after he came back to his senses.
"Lord Hui, the Huns have more than 300,000 troops, and now they have reached the outside of the Great Wall, and General Gao Shun is already resisting! General Hou Cheng has also sent a message there!" said the herald in a loud voice.
"Someone!" Chen Hong shouted to the guards outside.
"What do you command?" Immediately, several guards came in and saluted Chen Hong respectfully.
"Immediately go and inform the county commanders of each county, ask them to send all their troops to help defend against the Hu people, and ask Lord Assassin Shi and the imperial court for help, so that they can send reinforcements!" Chen Hong frowned and commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will arrange it!" several guards bowed and said.
Then Chen Hong hurriedly rode towards the Great Wall with his guards, he was still very uneasy, and wanted to go over and see how the battle was going with his own eyes!
On the Great Wall on the border of Shuofang County, the battle was extremely fierce, and Gao Shun led 3,000 elite Bingzhou iron cavalry and more than 50,000 recruits to resist the invasion of the Southern Xiongnu with difficulty.
By the time Chen Hong and Hou Cheng arrived, Gao Shun had already led the defenders to repel several waves of Xiongnu attacks!
The Great Wall of this world is much stronger and taller than the Great Wall of later generations, after all, the force value of this world is super strong, even ordinary soldiers can stand loose and cross the three-meter good wall, not to mention the brave and warlike Hun cavalry!
Because the Han Empire did not attach importance to the frontiers, these alien races repeatedly crossed the Great Wall into the territory of the Han Dynasty to burn, kill and loot, do all kinds of evil, and also carry out various damages to the Great Wall!
Fortunately, last time Lu Bu defeated these Qiang and Xianbei tribes, forcing them to retreat outside the Great Wall, Xiao Yun after taking over Shuofang County and Shang County, he hurriedly repaired the damaged places on the Great Wall that were damaged by foreign races, and strengthened the defense, there were garrisons stationed on the Great Wall for 24 hours, so this Southern Xiongnu invasion did not succeed, but was resisted!
Standing on the majestic and tall Great Wall, Chen Hong and Hou Cheng looked around, only to see that the black pressure outside was full of Hun cavalry, which made Chen Hong and Hou Cheng gasp involuntarily!
The two of them estimated that there were at least 300,000 Hun cavalry attacking this time, and they still don't know if they have any backups? This is simply a catastrophe for Shuofang County, which has just stabilized!
It is difficult to rely on the 150,000 recruits and 100,000 local garrisons of Shuofang County alone to resist!
Especially now that Xiao Yun is not here, even if he asks for help from the imperial court and the state assassin Shi Ding Yuan, I don't know if they will send troops to support?
Among the more than 300,000 Hun iron horsemen, a man in his twenties, with a sturdy figure and bulging muscles, was looking at the tall Great Wall with a sneer.
He is Liu Bao, the son of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, and now the Southern Xiongnu also belongs to a part of the Xianbei tribe, in history it was this Liu Bao who invaded in the chaos of the Central Plains and plundered the talented girl Cai Wenji, and later became the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu.
For the last time when hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by Lü Bu and driven out of the state, Yu Fuluo, the king of Zuoxian, was furious, but he was afraid of Lü Bu's strength and the attention of the Han Empire, so he did not fight back.
After more than five months of preparation, after Yu Fuluo sent people to find out the current situation of the Han Empire, he learned that the imperial court was caught in the battle between the great general He Jin and the ten permanent servants, and he had no time to take care of the frontier affairs at all, and Ding Yuan, the assassin of the state, did not care much about the frontier land, only Lu Bu was worth beware!
Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others could see that the Han Empire was about to fall into chaos, and the Xianbei tribe was also capable people, how could they not see it?
When Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo learned of this situation, he was very excited, he was always looking forward to the Han Empire falling into chaos, he took the opportunity to rob, he has been coveting all kinds of wealth and resources of the Han people for a long time!
But now that the Xianbei and Qiang tribes have been beaten out of the Great Wall by Lu Bu, they have lost the bridgehead to attack the Central Plains, so he plans to open a road to the Central Plains before the Han Empire is about to fall into chaos, and he can't let the Great Wall become a stumbling block.
And his youngest son Liu Bao has grown up, has ambition and ability, and is deeply liked by him, so Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo handed over the task of invading Shuofang County and occupying several bridgeheads to his younger son Liu Bao, so that he can make more merits and establish trust.
And in order to prevent Lu Bu from reappearing, Zuo Xian King Yu Fuluo also arranged for three high priests whose strength had reached the Thunder Tribulation Realm to accompany him, in order to deal with Lu Bu, after all, this invasion plan is related to whether he can quickly invade the Central Plains on a large scale in the future!
"Yu Wenjun, you come up, you must give me a short time to break through the defense line of the Great Wall, in case the Han have any reinforcements!" Liu Bao sat in the main tent and ordered a very capable general.
"Yes, little prince, your subordinates will receive the order!" Yuwen bowed down and took the order.
......
"Kill, everyone resist, our reinforcements will arrive soon!"
"You can't let these barbarians enter the Great Wall!
......
On the Great Wall, countless soldiers shouted, vowing not to retreat and fight to the end.
"Lord Chen, can you contact Shang Xiao Yun, according to the Xiongnu's offensive method, I estimate that we will not be able to hold out for a few days, and I don't know if the Xiongnu have masters this time, it is difficult to resist just relying on me and Gao Shun!" Hou Cheng asked anxiously at Chen Hong.
Seeing that the Huns seemed to have eaten a great supplement, their fearless and ferocious attack had already killed and wounded nearly 10,000 soldiers on Shuofang County's side, how could Hou Cheng not be in a hurry in this situation!
"I've already contacted it, but when the news arrives, it will take several days for Xiao Yun to come back, how can it be so fast?" Chen Hong said with a sad face.
"It seems that we can only resist first, if the other party does not have the assistance of a strong person, we will have no problem blocking him for three days, but if the other party has a martial arts powerhouse to make a move, and the cultivation is more powerful than me and Gao Shun, this time it will be suspended!"
He knows very well that the lethality of a martial arts powerhouse is terrifying, just like Lu Bu, who can kill and repel tens of thousands of troops with the power of one person, and break through the city gate with one blow, he and Gao Shun's cultivation is only in the realm of heaven and man, if there are stronger generals on the Hun side, this defense battle is really difficult!
Although Shuofang County has insufficient troops, and the combat experience of the recruits is not as good as that of the Xiongnu, it is much stronger than the Xiongnu in terms of armament and materials!
The soldiers are wearing the best light body armor, the defense is extremely high, the bow and arrow, crossbow arrows, fire oil and other defensive equipment are particularly rich and huge, the lethality of the Xiongnu is particularly large, Shuofang County lost 10,000 troops, the Xiongnu lost at least more than 20,000 troops, even so, the soldiers resisted it was extremely difficult!
"Trap the camp, go out with me and kill!"
I saw Gao Shun shouting, dismounted with the three thousand elite divisions left by Lu Bu, and rushed out of the Great Wall on foot with shields and spears in hand, and immediately formed a magic circle outside.
A terrible murderous aura rushed straight into the sky, the "trapped camp" was like a tank, the defense was unparalleled, the near could be defended, the retreat could be attacked, and the Hun cavalry that was killed for a time could not be defeated.
"Bastard, how can the other party have such a powerful military formation, could it be that Lu Bu is here?" Liu Bao looked at the "trapped camp" that showed his might, and frowned and reprimanded the generals under him.
"Don't worry, the little prince can't be Lu Bu, if Lu Bu comes, the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry will also come, with Lu Bu's pride, how can he still hide on the Great Wall and let us attack?
"Since Lu Bu didn't come, then I'll send a high priest to deal with the other party's powerful military formation first!" Liu Bao said in a deep voice.
"The little prince can't, just the three high priests sent to you are to deal with Lu Bu, if it is exposed in advance, it will definitely cause Lu Bu to take precautions and be on guard, and then you can't take it by surprise and attack him unprepared! Although this army formation is powerful, their number is still too small, let me lead people to break this army formation!" A bald general shouted a battle sentence.
"Okay, since General Ke is willing to go, then it's up to you to break this military formation, and I'll give you a big credit when I go back!" Liu Bao promised in a deep voice.
