The climate of the land of China since ancient times is four distinct seasons, the weather has entered the late autumn, and the climate is getting colder and colder with a light rain. In just 20 days, the temperature has dropped by almost 10 degrees, not to mention standing on the wall several meters high, even hiding in a tent is full of cold. This morning, even the general Huyan got up late for the banquet, after all, he was an old man over sixty years old, and in this era when the average age was less than forty years old, more than sixty years old was already an advanced age.

The continuous battle consumed Hu Yanyan's energy, and the death of his only son and the sudden change in weather made Hu Yanyan completely ill. Typhoid fever is not a serious disease now, it is just a severe cold, but in ancient times, it could kill people, and the cure rate was extremely low. It's a pity that Huyanyan was infected with typhoid fever, which is equivalent to a terminal illness in this era.

Hu Yanyan sat up panting, a usually simple action, now it takes a lot of energy, Hu Yanyan knows that he is really old, and this time is likely to be the last time he will lead the troops, and even this is likely to be his farewell to this world. What a sad topic the general's white hair is, but Hu Yanyan must endure it, he wants to avenge his son, avenge it!

"Someone. Hu Yanyan shouted, his guards walked in, with the help of the guards, he put on the armor, dozens of catties of armor was usually nothing, but now it was so pressed that Hu Yanyan couldn't breathe, he had to put on only a soft armor, and he felt much better now.

That morning, the general Huyanyan Yan came more than half an hour later than usual, these generals are some old people who fought in the south and the north, when they saw that Hu Yanyan was not wearing armor, they all had a bad premonition, after all, Hu Yanyan Yan Yan was famous for his stubbornness in commanding troops, and he himself would never change a little bit of the rules unless he had to, but today the general made an exception, which gave them a bad feeling, and sometimes the generals who led the troops were very superstitious about these details. Moreover, Hu Yanyan's face was pale and he was very weak to walk, which made them feel even more bad.

Hu Yanyan didn't talk nonsense at all, and directly proposed that the whole army attack and attack Zhongyang City, obviously this was what he had thought about a long time ago. Now in addition to the forbidden army, the Huns only have 31,000 people left, half of them killed and wounded, of course, Chu Yun also killed and injured more than 10,000 people, and the casualty ratio is three to one, which is almost the normal casualty ratio of ancient siege warfare.

Hearing Hu Yanyan's desperate gamble, all the generals wanted to oppose it, but in the face of Hu Yanyan's obscenity, they did not have Jin Ming's confidence. In addition to more than 3,000 troops guarding the general Huyanyan and the Chinese army camp, the remaining 27,000 people all attacked from the front, and Huyanyan wanted to use a tidal wave to attack Zhongyang City to fall.

Specific command, Hu Yanyan gave his general Hu Yanyu the command of the general of the guards, this Hu Yanyu is also an old man who followed Liu Cong, and he and Hu Yanyan are both nobles of the Southern Xiongnu, although the two are not related, but they are like father and son, Hu Yanyan is relieved to hand over the army to him.

However, Hu Yanyan's hand made the other leading generals dissatisfied, most of the 60,000 troops were the private soldiers of the generals, and half of their subordinates had been consumed in the past 20 days, and the generals had suffered heavy losses, and now let the Wei general Hu Yanyu command them, Hu Yanyu would definitely save his lineage and let them go to death, so the army was full of dissatisfaction.

Hu Yanyan is qualified to subdue everyone, and he has a clear distinction between public and private, and his own descendants are attacking the city with them, and he directly commands them, and everyone is convinced, but what is Hu Yanyu? Therefore, on the eve of the attack, there was an invisible split in the Hun army.

What's even more terrifying is that Jin Ming, the commander of the forbidden army, was led by Mao Qing to more than 20 miles away, Jin Ming, the commander of the forbidden army, was completely obtained because of his brother, and he didn't have any actual combat ability at all, and he could do things like making friends with the enemy, which was really speechless.

The process of his acquaintance with Mao Qing is not complicated, after Zhang Tong led the army, Jin Ming was ordered to stop it, the two sides fought many times, the strength of the Hun Forbidden Army was not under the cavalry of the Iron Blood Army, and even in addition to the Iron Blood Cavalry, the rest of the cavalry were not as good as the Hun Forbidden Army, and the two sides were almost equal to Qihu.

The two sides broke out many battles of all sizes, in a pursuit battle, Jin Ming led hundreds of cavalry to be besieged, Mao Qing got the true biography of Chu Yun, extremely brave, he took the iron-blooded cavalry to kill Jin Ming dozens of meters away, almost killed Jin Ming with one click, Jin Ming was really scared, but because the other party's reinforcements came, Zhang Tong ordered a retreat, which made Mao Qing fall short. But Jin Ming thought that the other party was deliberately letting him go, so he ordered to send some supplies to the cavalry of the Iron Blood Army, and wanted to thank Mao Qing in public, Zhang Tong felt that this could be used, so he asked Mao Qing to meet with Jin Ming. In this way, the two people who were confused became friends.

Zhang Tong received the letter sent by Chu Yun, so he decided to launch a general attack today, they have been hiding for more than 20 days, if it weren't for the continuous supply from Shicheng by boat, they would not be able to hold on, and the materials from Shicheng were basically consumed, and now there is a war near Pingjin Valley, and many materials cannot be transported from Shangdang County, which is also the reason why Zhang Tong has to make up his mind to fight a decisive battle. And from Chu Yun's letter, Zhang Tong also knew that Zhongyang City was about to be unable to hold on.

"Brother Mao, where are you taking me?" Jin Ming, as an important general of the Huns, actually brought more than 1,000 people to gather with Mao Qing, the enemy, and he really had a big heart.

Mao Qing has a good impression of Jin Ming, although this guy is in his thirties, he is like a child who has not been deeply involved in the world, which makes Mao Qing feel that Jin Ming is younger than himself, but good feelings are good feelings, Mao Qing will not forget his duties, the purpose of his coming out today is to play with Jin Ming, keep him away from his army, and create opportunities for Zhang Tong.

"Brother Jin, let's go hunting pheasants today, and I found a treasure land. Mao Qing said with a smile, and sure enough, Jin Ming was immediately attracted by Mao Qing's words.

The 27,000 Xiongnu army did not attack all at once, but 3,000 people each time, constantly attacking the city wall, and the eastern wall of Zhongyang City concentrated most of the soldiers and horses of Zhongyang City, Chu Yun of course could also see the purpose of the Huns. There were only a few thousand people left in the active regular army alive, and the remaining two thousand or so were all residents of Zhongyang City. There are only more than 30,000 people in Zhongyang City plus the 7,000 people in the Iron Blood Army, deducting the old people and children, that is, half of the men who can fight, and now there are only more than 5,000 people left, Chu Yun left two thousand old and weak as a reserve to prevent the Huns from killing in other directions, and the rest is almost all the strength of Zhongyang City.

"Brothers, I know that you have all been fighting for more than half a month, and you are all tired, and many of you don't want to fight anymore, so you want to go to a warm bed and sleep well, and I am the same as you. Who doesn't want to live a stable life? But the Huns, they don't want us to have a good time, they want to kill our families, they want to humiliate our wives and daughters, we can't retreat, we retreat, then what awaits us is only the destruction of our families. However, we are not alone, there are our reinforcements outside the city, they fight desperately with the enemy, turning the enemy's logistics upside down, and the Huns have reached the point of exhaustion. We only have to hold on for one more morning, and I will take you out to kill them, and when the Huns give me our damage, we will pay back the damage. In addition, I promise that Zhongyang City will be tax-free for three years, and all those who sacrifice will be compensated according to the martyrdom qualifications of the Iron and Blood Army, and your family will be taken care of by me; if you are injured, I will raise you Chu Yun; if you die, you will enter the martyr's cemetery and receive the incense of my Iron Blood Army. Long live the Iron Blood. Chu Yun's words raised the morale of Zhongyang City a lot, after all, everyone knew that they were in the same boat as the Iron Blood Army, and if the Iron Blood Army failed, they had no doubt that the Huns would slaughter the city.

The bloody battle in the morning caused a lot of casualties to the iron-blooded army, which was the result of the Huns' retention, Hu Yanyan Yan Yu asked the Wei general to command the battle, sure enough, this person was selfish, he arranged his descendants to the end, which made the rest of the generals very dissatisfied, they coped with the matter, otherwise Zhongyang City was likely to fall.

Just when it was Hu Yanyu's turn to bring his troops into play, Hu Yanyu suddenly ordered the whole army to rest and have lunch, which made the other generals all angry. Hu Yanyan issued an iron order, the whole army is not allowed to rest, must attack continuously, but this Hu Yanyu actually interrupted the attack for the rest of his own troops? This made the rest of the generals all furious, and they all rushed to the camp, ready to complain to the general.

In fact, they really thought wrong, Hu Yanyu was partial to his own lineage, but he was not a fool, how could he be so obviously partial, he mainly received an urgent report from the big camp, and the general was about to die, so he stopped the siege and rushed to the big camp. Unexpectedly, this move made all the generals misunderstand.

However, this gave the Iron Blood Army a chance, Chu Yun personally changed into the bright armor he wore first, Chu Yun has been wearing an ordinary armor during this time, after all, the bright armor is too eye-catching, once it is put on, it is a live target, Chu Yun is not an iron man, in the face of the surging Huns, he can only change into a piece of clothing. Since then, this has also formed a convention, as long as it is a war, the generals and soldiers of the Iron Blood Army basically wear the same armor, but the patterns on the shoulders are different, to distinguish different positions, it can also be regarded as Chu Yun's new invention - epaulettes.

Chu Yun looked at the six hundred and seventy-one iron-blooded horsemen behind him, his heart was full of excitement, it was not Chu Yun's style to be beaten passively. He had never allowed cavalry to go into battle, and now it seemed right that the hundreds of men who had gone up to the city walls would not have made a decisive difference, but once they were out of the city, they were reapers. This group of guards had already been suffocated, Chu Yun asked everyone to check their equipment, and then slowly opened the city gate of the east gate, which was the first time that the east gate was opened after more than twenty days. Chu Yun began to let people clean it up after receiving Zhang Tong's letter, and it took several days to clean it up. As for the North City Gate, Chu Yun didn't think about it, first, the North City Gate was not short away from the Hun camp, which would give the Huns time to react. The second is that there are 10,000 Xiongnu forbidden troops stationed there, although Zhang Tong will send people to contain them, but even if the other party divides 500 people, they can contain them, which is not what Chu Yun wants to see.

"Kill. Chu Yun took the lead in killing out, because the main generals of the Huns went to the camp, at this time Chu Yun killed out, hit them by surprise, more than 600 people killed into the tens of thousands of Huns army like wolves into the flock, the Hun army collapsed, Chu Yun didn't expect it to go so smoothly, he took his personal guards to drive the Huns into the camp like a sheep, and the camp was suddenly broken.

At this time, Hu Yanyu and others gathered in front of Hu Yanyan's bed, the general Hu Yanyan had run out of oil and the lamp had dried up, and no one thought that in just one day, Hu Yanyan would not be able to hold on. Hu Yanyan knew that his time had come, but he had not yet avenged his son, he was unwilling, he held Hu Yanyu's hand tightly and handed over the army to him, when he was telling Hu Yanyu over and over again that he must continue to attack and slaughter Zhongyang City. There was already chaos outside, and every general was shocked, and they wondered if the camp had been bombed.

When the generals were about to go out of the big tent to check, a captain rushed in: "Generals, there are cavalry in Zhongyang City who have killed them, they have directly defeated our infantry, and now they have entered the big camp." ”

After the captain finished speaking, everyone was stunned, they were obviously the attacking side, why did they suddenly reverse their roles? At this time, no one noticed that the general Hu Yanyan purred a few times in his mouth, and then swallowed his last breath. When all the generals came back to their senses and looked at Hu Yanyan habitually, their great general had already opened his eyes and died.

"Quick, generals, all go and organize your own subordinates, there will definitely not be too many troops in Zhongyang City. Hu Yanyu reacted the fastest, and everyone hurriedly left the camp, but the situation in the camp let everyone know that the general trend had gone. Chu Yun led people to constantly kill people and set fires, and it was impossible for the chaotic Hun soldiers to organize at all.

At the same time, Zhang Tong also gave the order to attack.

"Fang Dashan, I order you to lead a cavalry brigade and two thousand iron-blooded cavalry to attack the Xiongnu forbidden army at the north gate of Zhongyang City. Huang Village, order you to lead the three cavalry brigades and the remaining two thousand iron-blooded cavalry to attack the remaining nine thousand Xiongnu forbidden army. Lu Zhong, you and I will lead the 6th Cavalry Brigade to attack the Xiongnu camp. Fang Dashan and Huangcun, you two remember to me, even if you can't annihilate the Xiongnu forbidden army, you can't let them go back to the Xiongnu camp, you know, the governor is there, if the governor encounters any accidents, I will ask the two of you. A quarter of an hour later the whole army moved together. After Zhang Tong gave the order, everyone immediately went to prepare, and Zhang Tong is a Wenchen, and he will not act with the army, otherwise it will be a drag, his tasks are all completed, and he can only hope that everything will go well.

Just when Chu Yun was stirring up the wind and rain in the Xiongnu camp, Zhang Tong's army also moved, Fang Dashan took 5,000 people to pounce on the Xiongnu forbidden army at the north gate of Zhongyang City, and Huangcun also killed the 9,000 Xiongnu forbidden army guarding the Xiongnu camp. Lu Zhong took his headquarters to meet Chu Yun, and a battle of tens of thousands of people between the two sides broke out almost at the same time.

Although Chu Yun's hundreds of people have killed thousands of people, this loss is nothing to the Huns, the real threat is that they have wiped out the last trace of morale of the Huns, otherwise not to mention tens of thousands of Huns, even if tens of thousands of pigs stand and let them kill, they can't do it.

The Xiongnu camp had a lot of horses and low walls, which were the standard configuration of the camp and could block attacks from other places. But the existence of these things also limited the attack of Chu Yun's cavalry. Although Chu Yun's iron-blooded cavalry had the upper hand, if they were blocked in a small place by the Huns, then it was impossible to say that they would be completely annihilated. Because several of the main generals of the Huns tried their best to maintain order, the Hun army was about to settle down, and then it would be the end of Chu Yun and hundreds of cavalry.

At this time, Lu Zhong's Sixth Cavalry Brigade arrived, thousands of cavalry entered the camp from the back, Hu Yanyu and others' hard work was completely in vain, and the Hun army was in chaos again, thousands of people and hundreds of people are not the same concept. Hu Yanyu sighed, immediately gathered hundreds of subordinates around him, and chose to leave the camp, his departure represented the complete fall of the Xiongnu camp.

"Governor. "Lu Zhong commanded his men to kill on a large scale, and the Huns were completely finished. When he penetrated the camp and finally saw Chu Yun, he jumped off the horse excitedly and knelt at the feet of Chu Yun, Chu Yun stretched out his hand and dragged him up, Lu Zhong actually found that when he saw Chu Yun this time, Chu Yun felt more majestic to himself, and he couldn't even raise the idea of resisting in his heart.

"Try to take prisoners, Xihe County is sparsely populated, they are free laborers. Chu Yun pointed to the tens of thousands of Huns who were still resisting in a mess, as if he was talking about tens of thousands of sheep.

When the Hun camp shouted and killed, Mao Qing and his "friend" Jin Ming were shooting and hunting dozens of miles away, but even if it was such a long distance, the sound of fighting came one after another, Jin Ming was not stupid, how did he not know that he had been fooled.

"Mao Qing, in vain I think you are my friend, you actually treat me like this?" Jin Ming shouted with a pale face, he really couldn't accept that he was deceived by his friend.

Mao Qing looked at him and sighed, he slowly arched his hand, he had nothing to say at this time, he was about to die, he was indeed sorry for Jin Ming.

"Okay, let's break off, let's go. Jin Ming turned around and wanted to leave, the order of the Iron Blood Army was to drag him down, it was best to capture this person alive, his status was very high, maybe it would be of any use. Seeing this scene, Jin Ming directly drew his long sword and killed the Iron Blood Army, and the two sides immediately fought together.

After a few hours, calm was restored outside Zhongyang City, as if the war had never happened for more than 20 days. However, the corpses all over the ground told the tragedy of the battle, and suddenly a group of cavalry appeared on the battlefield from afar, and they cleaned everything in front of them in an orderly manner, which was Fang Dashan, who was ordered to block the Xiongnu forbidden army at the north gate of Zhongyang City.

They hardly encountered any battles, so of course this unlucky errand was handed over to them, Fang Dashan scolded and commanded his subordinates, he felt that he was unlucky, when they appeared, this Xiongnu forbidden army of more than 10,000 people was about to support the Xiongnu camp, but at this time the Xiongnu camp was already in chaos, and the deputy marshal who was ordered to lead this Xiongnu forbidden army directly threw down the main force and fled.

Fang Dashan chased people for more than 20 miles and didn't catch up, and when Fang Dashan came back, he received this order.

"Governor. "And in Zhongyang City, except for the unlucky Fang Dashan, all the generals of the Iron and Blood Army were concentrated in Zhongyang County.
