Under the ruined city, the Xiongnu army had been arriving for several days.

The leader of the army was Hu Yanhong. He was riding on a horse, with the city gate in front of him wide open.

Guo Mengsheng led his soldiers to the city gate and saw Hu Yanhong at a glance. Thinking of his tragic death of his wife and children, he wanted to rush down and fight him to the death.

But he can't mess up now. The prince's army has not arrived yet, and the future of the Wu Dynasty still depends on him.

When Hu Yanhong saw him finally coming out, he shouted.

"I thought you were determined to be a coward and didn't dare to come out."

Since the Xiongnu army arrived here, Hu Yanhong found that the lights in the city were brightly lit all night, and the soldiers in the city were enjoying themselves and drinking and having fun all day long.

He and Guo Mengsheng were once enemies, and they knew each other best, knowing that he was a cautious and attentive person.

If he hadn't made complete preparations, he would never have taken such a dangerous move as opening the city gate to meet the enemy.

Moreover, the Xiongnu Chan Yu had issued an order. If the Wu Dynasty was really determined to follow the Decadent City and march straight into the Xiongnu, they would fight to the death to protect the Xiongnu.

If Wu Chao was just harassing him, he definitely didn't want to fight Wu Chao at this juncture. Marrying Xiang Yunyan of Chu State was the most important thing.

Therefore, Guo Mengsheng's empty city strategy is still useful. He has been hiding in the dark, knowing clearly that the person outside is his old enemy, but the prince did not give the order, so he had to suppress his anger.

Until the soldiers in the city began to be unable to stand it any longer, the Huns army had arrived, but the DPRK had not sent any reinforcements.

Many soldiers in Decadang City had already decided to quit, and they couldn't act like they were drinking and having fun, which might let the Huns see the clues, so he had to come out in person.

Guo Mengsheng faced his enemy and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"The gate has been open for a few days, but you don't dare to rush in at all, for fear that I will set an ambush here. If you look forward and backward, I think you are the real cowards."

Hu Yanhong frowned. Why did he hear Guo Mengsheng's tone full of pity, as if he expected him to lead the army into the city? It seemed that this was really a drama to invite you to the urn.

No wonder Guo Mengsheng, who had always taken one step at a time, showed such a big flaw. He dared to provoke the Huns and directly captured the city of Dandang, attracting the Huns' army to press on the border. How could he not have made complete preparations?

"Don't think that I don't know what you're planning. It's just wishful thinking to let me fall into your trap."

"You, a county guard of Feng Yi County, must have bad intentions if you don't stay in your one-third of an acre of land and come here to show off your power in Decadang City. Do you want to lure us into the city and catch us all?"

It's just that he never understood that this small, dilapidated city shouldn't be able to hold many soldiers, but he had been guarding outside the city for several days, and he didn't see any news outside.

Could it be that there are a large army ambushing around, waiting for them to enter the city, and then attack them from both inside and outside, and catch them all in one fell swoop?

On the surface, Guo Mengsheng showed annoyance that his plan had been exposed, but in his heart he was a little lucky. Fortunately, he had been in contact with Hu Yanhong for a period of time and knew each other better as enemies.

He knew that Hu Yanhong was suspicious by nature and wanted to be safe in everything, so he would definitely not make any rash advances.

As long as he doesn't plan to attack the city, they can still hold him back.

"If you are afraid, just stay outside the city and guard."

After he ordered the soldiers to close the city gate, he deliberately asked the lieutenant to give the order. When the soldiers closed the city gate, they must delay their actions, pretending to expect the other party to attack the city.

Unexpectedly, the more the other party behaved like this, the more Hu Yanhong did not dare to act. It was not until the city gate was closed that Guo Mengsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Yanhong watched helplessly as the city gate closed. At this moment, a Hun soldier suddenly ran out from a distance, holding a secret letter in his hand.

After he read the secret message, his eyes widened immediately.

There were no traps in the city at all, but a maze formed by old people. Shan Yu sent a letter, asking him to take back the city, capture Guo Meng Sheng alive, and then decide whether to attack the Wu Dynasty next.

Although he didn't know how Shan knew the situation in Decadang City, since he issued such an order, it meant that he must have channels.

It turned out that Guo Mengsheng was just trying to spread suspicion, completely frightening him and wasting so many days.

Hu Yanhong crushed the letter he received into pieces.

"Give me the order, call up the troops, follow my orders, and attack immediately."

After Guo Mengsheng on the other side got off the city gate, he did not dare to relax and asked people to weld the entire city gate shut.

He didn't know how long he could delay, and he didn't know when the prince would come with his troops, so he had to try to delay as much time as possible.

Who would have thought that as soon as the city gate was welded shut, an attack on the city would already begin.

Guo Mengsheng immediately came to the top of the city, and sure enough he saw the Xiongnu army hitting the city gate and climbing up ladders, trying to climb into the city.

Guo Mengsheng immediately asked all the soldiers to resist vigorously, and they must not be allowed to enter the city.

But the opponent's army has too many people, and even if they have Li Fengge's improved thunder cannon, they can only barely support it.

The Xiongnu army rushed forward one after another, but they were beaten down one after another. Hu Yanhong frowned and saw the surprising chariot in the opponent's hand at a glance.

When the Wu Dynasty had such a weapon, he never knew.

Moreover, this weapon was so powerful that even though there were only a few thousand soldiers, their army could not take it down.

The two sides faced off like this, from morning to night, until the morning of the next day, Hu Yanhong's army had not yet captured the city of Daidang, and Hu Yanhong was very angry.

He led the army and was unable to attack the opponent's thousands of people. If the news spread back to the Xiongnu territory, wouldn't he be laughed to death by his colleagues?

"Everyone will give me a death sentence. If we still can't take the city, it will delay the military's disposal."

As soon as these words came out, the Xiongnu soldiers suddenly felt as if they had been beaten to death.

They don't need to be rewarded, but they can't be punished.

So in an instant, everyone worked harder than before to deal with this battle. The soldiers in the city were really unable to resist. Seeing that the city gate was about to be breached, these Huns soldiers were about to climb up.

Guo Mengsheng stood at the top of the city, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted.

"Decadent City belongs to our Wu Dynasty. We finally took it back. We will never let the Huns take it away again. We will defend this city to the death."

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers in the city responded in unison.

Determined to defend the city to the death, Decadang City has already been lost once and must not be lost a second time. Even if their soldiers from the Wu Dynasty die, Decadang City must remain the land of the Wu Dynasty before they die.

Therefore, Guo Mengsheng led his lieutenants and ordered all the soldiers to fight with the Xiongnu soldiers. For a while, it was hard to tell the winner with the flash of swords and shadows.
