When Xuan Qi arrived at Jingzhou City with a happy book, the Xiongnu general Gongsun Bao was besieging Jingzhou City with an army of 80,000. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just entered Jingzhou City from the Water Gate, Li Zhe and more than a dozen Wenchen were waiting on the shore.

Xuan Qi didn't even look at Li Zhe, and said directly to Duan Tingyu, the deputy general of Jingzhou who came to greet him: "Send the emperor and all the adults across the river!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Qi had already walked straight to the city wall with a happy book. Li Zhe originally wanted to say something soft, but at this moment, he could only blacken his face and was respectfully invited to the official ship by Duan Tingyu.

Xuan Qi went up to the city wall, but the one who came to greet him was the fierce general Yuwen Hu of Yanmen Pass that he knew. Since Li Chengye ordered the opening of Yanmen Pass, Yuwen Hu followed Li Yuan south, sneaked away on the way, and went south to take refuge with Li Chun, the king of Yu, and became a general under Li Chun. The two of them talked a few words, and then walked towards the wall of the north gate.

Along the way, but saw that the Hun soldiers attacked very fiercely, relying on simple ladders and Tibetan troop vehicles, constantly impacting the northern city wall. A wave of attack was repulsed, and soon the team regrouped and rushed forward. This siege battle was not the head of the Hun cavalry, but the Hun general Gongsun Bao heard that Xuanqi was on his way to Jingzhou, so he ordered the whole army to work hard, wanting to take Jingzhou City before Xuanqi arrived.

Such a continuous and fierce siege of the city has lasted for three days. The Huns began to attack the city at dawn and did not withdraw until sunset. When Xuanqi arrived at the north gate wall, the Xiongnu army happened to be repulsed and was regrouping two miles away from the city. Countless officers and soldiers defending the city took advantage of this fleeting time, either leaning or lying, closing their eyes and resting, so as to deal with the next attack of the Xiongnu army.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

"Back to the deputy marshal, there are 54,000 soldiers and horses in the city. Among them, there were 10,000 cavalry, 8,000 archers, 8,000 pikemen, and 3,000 logistics soldiers, and the rest were ordinary officers and soldiers of the guards, as well as the original local officers and soldiers of Jingzhou. ”

Xuan Qi nodded and continued to ask, "How are the troops deployed?"

"Ten thousand cavalry did not participate in the defense of the city. The last general will divide the remaining 40,000 officers and soldiers into ten teams, two teams on the east and west walls, rotating day and night, the north gate is the focus of the Xiongnu's attack, and there are four teams of officers and soldiers rotating day and night. The remaining two teams acted as mobile, ready to reinforce the three walls. ”

"Is there a troll?"

"There are 2,000 sailors, and there are more than 100 official ships that can carry more than 100 soldiers. In order to prevent the Huns from robbing ships across the river, they all leaned on the south bank of the Yangtze River. ”

Xuan Qi pondered for a moment, then turned around and discussed a few words in a low voice with Xingshu, and then turned to Yuwen Hu and said, "General Yuwen, pass on the order to go, let the sailors hurry up and rest, and after dark, drive all the ships to the water gate and dock." In addition, prepare two days of dry food for 15,000 men. ”

"The last general commands!" Yuwen hugged his fists and saluted, and then arranged to go.

When night fell, the official ships on the south bank began to approach the north bank one after another, and the cavalry that had been prepared, as well as 3,000 archers, began to board the ships one after another, heading towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the night.

On the afternoon of the next day, on Ji Mountain, forty miles north of Jingzhou, Xuan Qi stood on the edge of a mountain rock, and standing next to him was Chu Lin, who had been waiting here for a long time. This is the baggage camp of the Xiongnu army attacking Jingzhou, where all the grain and grass and a large number of weapons and armor are stored, while the defenders are less than 2,000.

Just after the unitary hour, the sound of horses' hooves woke up the Hun soldiers who had just fallen asleep. The Huns, who did not have time to dress neatly, rushed out of the camp, but saw that the camp had been surrounded. Under the three rounds of fire, in this dark night, the Huns could not even find their own blades, so they could only flee in all directions. The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and three thousand cavalry rushed into the camp, and under the iron hooves of the cavalry, countless Hun soldiers fell in a scream.

An hour later, the Hun baggage camp at the foot of Ji Mountain was completely under Xuan Qi's control, and the two thousand Hun soldiers did not leave a single living mouth, because Xuan Qi knew that mercy to the enemy was cruelty to himself. Under the starlight, the baggage camp was as if nothing had ever happened, and it was still so peaceful. Early in the morning of the second day, tens of thousands of cavalrymen who had changed into Hun costumes slowly left the baggage camp and headed south. If you don't look closely, no one will notice that all the cavalrymen have a white scarf tied around their necks.

Gongsun Leopard, who had not yet received the news of Xuanqi's arrival in Jingzhou, was sitting on horseback at this time, scolding because of the failure of the siege just now. After the whole team was completed, the Huns began to attack the city again. Near noon, the third siege began. When the Huns attacked, the Huns were already preparing to evacuate. The daily siege seems to have become a custom, attacking three times in the morning and withdrawing at noon.

At this moment, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the north, and tens of thousands of Hun soldiers galloped wildly, rushing towards the Hun soldiers who were about to collect their troops. Gongsun Leopard turned his head to look, although it was a little strange, but he didn't care very much. When tens of thousands of cavalry rushed to a safe distance of twenty zhang and had not slowed down, Gongsun Leopard finally began to feel uneasy.

10,000 cavalry rushed into the Huns like a flood. The Hun soldiers who had not yet reacted didn't know what to do for a while, some were stunned, some hurriedly avoided, and those who reacted were already rushing up to try their best to stop the 10,000 cavalry. The entire Hun cavalry team suddenly became in chaos, and those who moved forward and retreated were crowded together.

The 10,000 cavalry rushed halfway, but they began to disperse, mixing into the Hun cavalry like scattered sand. The same attire, so that most of the Hun cavalry did not dare to shoot at will, the screams and the neighing of the horses were mixed together, and there were countless Hun soldiers who were knocked off their horses by startled horses.

At this time, the 20,000 Hun soldiers who were besieging the city reacted and retreated towards the Hun brigade. The 20,000 dismounted cavalry began to look for horses, which made the already chaotic Hun cavalry even more chaotic.

At this time, Xuan Qi was mixed in it, rarely making a move, but kept approaching in the direction of Gongsun Leopard. Hundreds of pro-regiments surrounded Gongsun Leopard and were slowly withdrawing outward. Xuan Qi put the spear in his hand horizontally and took off the bow and arrow behind his back. With a bang, when the long arrow reached the back of the Gongsun Leopard, the Gongsun Leopard was unable to dodge, and the arrow was powerful and heavy, shooting directly from the back of the neck of the Gongsun Leopard, leaving only the arrow feathers still trembling.

The main general was killed, so that the panicked Hun cavalry was overwhelmed, and they could only instinctively start to retreat. The cavalry of the Celestial Empire, mixed with the Hun cavalry, waved their sabers and slashed at every approaching Hun cavalry. It wasn't until an hour later that the chaos subsided, and Xuan Qi had already entered Jingzhou City with a cavalry team.
