Volume 3 Autumn Soldiers on the Battlefield Chapter 078 Encircling Wei and Rescue Zhao

Yunzhong City, the north gate of the imperial court, is an important pass to prevent the Xiongnu from invading south. (The most stable,,)

Once the city is defeated, the Xiongnu's southern invasion will become more convenient.

By then, the capital will be in danger.

The eldest son of Dingbei Marquis, Sun Shouji, is already sixty-two years old. His old bronze face is covered with wind and frost, his beard and hair are as white as snow, but his eyes are sparkling, his nose is high, and his thick, chapped lips still have sharp teeth.

.His body is still very strong, and three or five ordinary soldiers may not be his opponents.

When he was thirty years old, Changsun Shouji led 50,000 troops to outflank and march long distances into the grasslands and Gobi, killing countless enemies. The Xiongnu army that was about to invade south was forced to retreat before it reached the border of the imperial court.

, and hid deep in the grassland.

After the battle, Changsun Shouji was named Marquis of Dingbei and stayed in Yunzhong, with jurisdiction over Shizicheng and Qinglong counties. In the past thirty years, the Xiongnu invaded the border many times, but all returned without success. However, Changsun Shouji was a human being after all.

Once people get old, they will inevitably be timid and think twice before doing things.

Take the loss of Shizicheng and Qinglong counties as an example. When the Huns' 300,000-strong army cut off the connection between Yunzhong County and the two counties, Changsun Shouji failed to grasp the opportunity. He looked forward and backward, hesitated, and did not act in time.

The attack resulted in the fall of Shizi City and Qinglong County, and the defenders either died in battle or were all taken prisoner.

Now the Xiongnu's vanguard troops, 400,000 men, are approaching Yunzhong City.

In the past ten years, the Xiongnu had been showing goodwill to the court and frequently sent envoys to pay tribute to the court. Although the court knew that the Xiongnu did not sincerely show their goodwill, the Xiongnu was like a wolf that wagged its tail and would show its devouring fangs at any time.

However, the court still underestimated the strength of the Xiongnu. The court believed that it would take at least five years for the Xiongnu to invade the south. (!. Win q coins)

Therefore, the court stationed 400,000 troops to guard the north, thinking that this strength was sufficient. Of course, this was the strength after the Qiongzhou rebellion broke out. An Boxu's 300,000 troops were actually stationed in the north, but they were temporarily transferred to Lingnan.

The 200,000 defenders of Yunzhong County have been fighting on the city wall for ten days and ten nights, repelling dozens of Xiongnu sieges. The Huns' cavalry is good at galloping back and forth in the wide land to fight.

No one from the Han army was as familiar with it.

Changsun Shouji was a little surprised that the Huns were able to capture Shizi City and Qinglong County. If it wasn't for a traitor in the city, then it was because the Huns' siege tactics had improved. Judging from the Xiongnu's tactics in attacking Yunzhong City

, it is indeed better than what Changsun Shouji knew before.

Changsun Shouji's eyes were covered with red threads, and his left arm was bandaged with golden medicine. He cursed loudly and said to his soldiers: "Didn't you say that General Pingnan has been sending troops for five days? Why haven't we arrived in Yunnan yet?

Central City? Do we really have to wait until the city is destroyed before we come here?"

Feng Han, one of Zhangsun Shouji's advisers, continued: "From the letter from the court, General Pingnan indeed set out five days ago. Logically speaking, they should have arrived. At the very least, his vanguard troops had already arrived. But for some reason, he

No news yet.”

A general named Bei Yinyang next to him said angrily: "What else can there be? I think General Pingnan is nothing more than that, but he is said to be amazing. The Qiongzhou rebels are just a mob, how can they compete with them?"

Do you want to compare the military strength of our old enemy the Huns?"

"No, no, no," Feng Han shook his head and said, "General Bei's words are wrong. General Pingnan was able to resist the decree and insist on pacifying Qiongzhou, which shows his courage. If the Qiongzhou rebels are a mob, but General An Boxu is powerful? But he

He lost his troops before crossing the Qiongzhou Strait, and eventually lost his life. But what about General Pingnan? Although he was young, he led the new troops to cross the strait safely, and he was invincible in Qiongzhou County, which shows his combat prowess."

Bei Yinyang snorted after hearing this, but didn't say anything again.

Changsun Shouji had doubts about General Pingnan before, but after hearing Feng Han's analysis, he thought that General Pingnan was not simple. So he couldn't help but bow his head and ponder.

"But, no matter what General Pingnan is like, he should have appeared in Yunzhong City." A somewhat anxious voice said. This person is the eldest grandson of Changsun Shouji, named Changsun Wuhui. He is also the eldest grandson now.

A general under Shu Ji.

Changsun Wuhui continued: "If General Pingnan does not arrive in time, we may not be able to hold on for a few more days with our 200,000 defenders resisting the Xiongnu's 400,000 troops from attacking the city without stopping."

"Report——" A spy rushed in, "The Huns have sent another 80,000 troops to attack the city!"

Everyone was shocked, and their eyes couldn't help but shoot out wisps of light.

Bei Yin Yang cursed loudly: "Damn it! These sons of bitches, the Huns, don't let anyone breathe!"

Changsun Shouji also woke up from his meditation and immediately ordered: "Everyone listen to the order, Changsun Wuhui sticks to the city wall, and Bei Yinyang is ready under the city wall, ready to take turns at any time!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Five miles away on the northern outskirts of Yunzhong County, at a glance, there are densely packed Hun military camps.

In the center of the military camp, there was a large military tent with a handsome flag and a wolf head embroidered on it. When Changsun Shouji saw the wolf head, he must have known that his old enemy had met again.

The Sirius Army! The elite division of the Xiongnu army. Its commander is Wu Yexin, the Xiongnu general who had a confrontation with Changsun Shouji. Unfortunately, Changsun Shouji guarded Yunzhong City for ten days and ten nights, but he didn't know it yet.

His opponent was Wu Yexin. Even if he knew about it, he would definitely be shocked - he didn't expect that all the Xiongnu's vanguard troops would come out.

Changsun Shouji and Wu Yexin fought no less than ten times, with each winning and losing. However, Changsun Shouji was already a sixty-year-old man, while Wu Yexin was in his forties.

Wu Yexin is a bit fat, with a big and round head, eyes as small as a mouse, a face full of fat, and a handlebar mustache of nearly two inches under his big aquiline nose. He has a big belly and arms as big as an average person's thighs.

In the handsome tent, Wu Yexin sat down on the wolf fur blanket. Next to him was a man dressed as a general. If Wen Zijun was here, he would definitely recognize him. It was Santor, one of the eight Huns who had fought against him.

antiquity.

And the most surprising thing is not Wu Yexin of the Tianlang Army, nor Santorgu, one of the Eight Horsemen of the Huns, but a person standing on the other side of Wu Yexin, a Han!

This Han man looked to be about fifty years old, with a thin, dark face and a goatee. His eyes were often squinted, but when he opened them, they looked like the light emitted from a sharp sword.

"Li Xin, tell me, what should we do if the Han reinforcements arrive?" Wu Yexin asked sharply, his voice like a rusty broken gong.

Li Xin was the Han man. He did not need to salute and said: "Commander, we'd better attack Yunzhong City before the reinforcements of the Han army arrive. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to capture Yunzhong City. By then

, we can only wait patiently for Shanyu's army to arrive before making another decision." His voice was extremely feminine.

Santorgu continued: "Please rest assured, Commander! Terba has already led his army to attack the city. Next, as long as I lead another hundred thousand rested warriors to attack, I believe that the already exhausted Yunzhong Han army...

"

At this moment, a Hun warrior rushed into the commander's tent and interrupted Santorgu's words. The warrior was covered in blood and had a crossbow arrow stuck in his left back. As soon as he came in, he fell to the ground and was out of breath.

He said out of breath: "Report, Marshal, Shi, Shi Zicheng has been lost and has been taken back by the Han army!"
