"Probe again, report again." Zhu Jun said with a wave of his hand.
Lan Qi Primary School agreed and went down. As soon as he got off, another Tanma Lan Qi came to report again: "Report! Another 30,000 Huns soldiers and horses have arrived outside the pass and are also setting up camp."
Zhu Jun was already in shock. When he heard that more than 100,000 people were camping outside and preparing to attack Lulongsai, his face turned pale with fright. He asked with a slight trembling: "Oh! Prefect Yan, what should we do now?"
Yan Gang has experienced the enemy for a long time and has a very good psychological quality. He said calmly: "Marshal, don't be anxious. There will be a way to reach the mountain."
"Oh, what's the way?" Zhu Jun asked anxiously.
Yan Gang said: "Ji people have their own destiny! Young Master, you don't have much to do here, so you should spend more time with me." Gongsun Xu nodded and went to visit and take care of his father Gongsun Zan.
When it got dark, Gongsun Xucai left his father's bedroom and climbed to the top of the city to observe the enemy's situation. When he arrived at the top of the city, he saw Xianbei and the Xiongnu soldiers setting up camp with lanterns and torches.
The pine trees shine like daylight, with gauze lamps, mercury lamps, centipede lamps, and flag wind lanterns strung one after another. In Xianbei, the Xiongnu soldiers are digging the battlefield soil, burying antlers, installing gates, pulling big flags, setting up tents, and burying pots.
Make food, hoe the grass and feed the horses.
Although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the weather is very cool and the ground is freezing. However, in Xianbei, the Xiongnu soldiers were so busy that they were sweating profusely and took off all their cotton clothes. Usually they set up camp ten miles away from the city. This time in Xianbei
, the Huns had no soldiers, and they set up camp five miles away from the city, so they could see clearly!
After reading this, Gongsun Xu became frightened and said, "We must capture Lulong fortress! What should we do?" Don't look at Gongsun Xu who just returned from studying martial arts. He had never led an army to fight before.
He is different from Zuo Aoran!
During the Taiping years, Lulongsai had only a thousand soldiers. After Gongsun Zan's expansion, it only had 6,000 soldiers and horses. Plus some soldiers from the prefecture and state, there were nearly 10,000 soldiers in total. Now it has nearly 20,000 horses.
, because Zhu Jun brought reinforcements, but the reinforcements did not contribute much, so they all lived in Lulongsai. With so many people added at once, what are they going to eat?! If food and grass cannot be transported in time, these people will be hungry.
Die!
Facing the urgent military situation, Gongsun Xu couldn't help but think of his uncle Zuo Aoran, and sighed in his heart: "Alas! If my uncle Zuo was here, even in Xianbei, where would the Huns have millions of soldiers? Alas! Uncle Zuo didn't
Come on, Xianbei, the Huns are bullying none of us!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shed sad tears.
It was already the third watch, and Gongsun Xu came down from the top of the city and returned to his home to rest. Gongsun Xu had something on his mind, and couldn't fall asleep even when he lay down. It took until the fourth watch before he fell asleep in a daze.
When Gongsun Xu was drowsily sleeping, he heard someone calling him: "Young Master, Young Master, please, Marshal, wake up quickly, wake up quickly."
Gongsun Xu opened his eyes and saw that there was a lot of light in the sky. When he saw that it was his childhood scholar Niu Rui calling him, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's incredible. Su Li is fighting against the enemy outside the pass! Zhu Jun is so frightened that he has no idea. Please go and discuss countermeasures," said the scholar Niu Rui.
"Okay, you go report it first and tell me I'll be there soon," Gongsun continued.
The bookboy Niu Rui nodded and said: "Well, okay, young master, please hurry up."
"Well, I understand." Gongsun Xu hurriedly washed his face, put on his clothes, and even without eating, he got on his horse and came to the door of his house. When he came to the street, he heard the sound of golden drums and horns outside the pass.
There was a continuous "Woo-Woo" sound, and the officers and soldiers fired their bows and arrows, and threw down ash bottles, cannons, rolling logs, and stones. This was when the enemy was attacking the city and the soldiers were defending the city.
At this time, the people in the city were noisy and chaotic. The weather was so cold. Many people stood on the street to inquire about the news. The merchants and shops were also closed and boarded up, and everyone was listening under the eaves! It can be said that it is a heart attack.
Panic!
As soon as Gongsun Xu came to the street, the people saw him, and they all surrounded him. Some people asked: "Young General! Can this city be defended? No matter what, we can't let those Xianbei dogs fight with us."
The Huns are coming in!?"
Gongsun Xu pretended to be calm and said: "Don't worry, don't be afraid. I'm going to meet the generalissimo now. I'll wait until I get back." Gongsun Xu didn't dare to delay, fearing that everyone would be anxious, so he hurried to the outside of the meeting hall and called
People send letters in.
As soon as Gongsun Xu arrived, something came out from inside, saying that the Grand Marshal had invited him. Gongsun Xu came inside, raised his fist to Zhu Jun and said, "Marshal, I patrolled the city yesterday and went back late. I'm late today."
Zhu Jun pretended to be generous and said: "It's okay, I don't blame you. Now outside Xianbei, the Huns allied forces are attacking the city tightly. If no one comes out, they will attack the city again. During the reign of Emperor Wu, Lu Longsai
It has been smashed open before, if Lulongsai is smashed open again, our lives will not be saved."
Gongsun Xu said: "Marshal, don't be afraid. Wait until I attack the enemy and fight for a while. Let's see what happens?"
"Major General, are you not Suli's opponent? Suli is born with supernatural powers and has developed good archery skills. He is a famous warrior on the grassland, and is also known as the first warrior in Xianbei!" Yan Gang said.
Gongsun Xu said: "I learned my marksmanship from my teacher. My teacher is an expert hermit. Although he is not as famous as Tong Yuan, the gun prodigy, he is still a great person. He is the same master as Tong Yuan.
"The disciples, aren't the Xie Xianbei dogs most afraid of my uncle Zuo's gun? Today I will let them see the marksmanship of my Gongsun family. Although I don't dare to claim a guaranteed victory, they can go out and have a look!"
"Major General, yesterday you saved your father and the generals, and today you have to go to the battlefield to retreat. It is really respectable. When the day comes when you return to the court, I will definitely tell the emperor to ensure that you will be seated as a high official and your horse will be ridden.
." After a pause, he then said: "Major General, please pay more attention, I will watch the enemy formation for you at the top of the city." After saying that, Zhu Jun rode on his own horse, Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Tian Yu, Shan Jing
, Zou Dan, Guan Jing and others accompanied him.
Gongsun Xu ordered the military and political affairs department to count a thousand soldiers and came to the gate. Gongsun Xu ordered the soldiers guarding the city: "Tell Xianbei, the Xiongnu soldiers and generals, we will go to fight." The soldiers guarding the city shouted,
Xianbei and the Huns allied forces really stopped attacking the city.
Accompanied by Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Tian Yu, Xia Houlan, Shan Jing, Zou Dan, Guan Jing and others, Zhu Jun climbed to the top of the city and watched condescendingly. There was a burst of drum beating, and then the city gate opened and the suspension bridge
Immediately after falling, 400 archers rushed out first, firing arrows "pop bang" as they ran. This was because they were afraid that the Xianbei soldiers would take the opportunity to enter the city, and the 400 archers rushed out of the city first.
After holding down the position, six hundred people from behind came out to line up. Four people from Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, Xia Houlan and Wang Clan lined up in front of the line. Among them was Major General Gongsun Xu.
The Xianbei soldiers have been waiting on the battlefield for a long time. There are at least 5,000 people on the opposite side. The Xianbei soldiers unsheathed their swords and strung their bows. There were no less than a hundred generals. There was a large pole in the middle.
The flag has a large character "Su" embroidered on it, and next to it is a line of small characters that reads: "King of Xianbei".
There is a general at the foot of the flag, wearing a black oil helmet and black oil armor, with a red and blood-stained war robe. Under his crotch is a lightning white dragon colt, also known as: "Snow behind the Mountain".
With a colorful face, white eyebrows, red beard, big eyes, wide mouth and grinning cheeks, this person is none other than King Suli, one of the three great kings of Xianbei.
Su Li received a report from Yu Wenkang and learned that Zuo Aoran was dead. The Han Dynasty no longer had his opponents. He could be invincible in the world and it was just around the corner to defeat the Han Dynasty. He was so arrogant and arrogant!
He just wanted to capture Lulongsai today and wipe out the Han Dynasty tomorrow, so he went out personally.
When Su Li saw the Han army lined up, a young general came out, wearing a bright silver lion helmet, bright silver lion armor, a light yellow military robe, a white dragon colt under his crotch, and a gold-clawed tiger-head spear in his palm.
He is many years old, with a face like a silver basin, sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, a straight nose, a four-character square mouth, and a beautiful appearance, even the man and the horse look clean!
Su Li didn't recognize him at first glance, so Su Li told his generals: "Generals, I have watched the enemy's formation with you." After saying this, Su Li lifted the horse's reins, and the horse kicked out its hooves and turned over its hooves.
He raised his palm and urged the war horse to the battlefield.
Gongsun Xu also came to the battlefield at this time, and with a big spear in his hand, he said: "Alas! Is the person coming here Suli, the great king of the Xianbei tribe?"
"Yes, it is this king. Who is the young general?" Su Li said.
"Ah! I don't know you!" Gongsun Xu cleared his throat and said, "Listen carefully. My family's ancestors live in Lingzhi, western Liaoning. My father, please forgive me for saying that I am the unfilial son of Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping.
Continued.”
"Ah, it turns out you are the Major General. I heard that you cleverly captured the bandits at the age of seven. At the age of eight, you went to the mountains with your teacher to learn martial arts. You determined to serve the country and become a prominent official. Now that you have returned from studying martial arts, why do you have no official position!?
Is it possible that you think you are a big man and a small man?" Regardless of whether Su Li is a foreigner or a military general, his ability to speak eloquently is no worse than that of the people from the Central Plains.
Gongsun Xu blushed and said: "What does this have to do with you? Su Li! You are a villain if you go back on your word! What did you say when you were under Lulong fortress? You said you would never go back on your word, and you even wrote
The letter of surrender, why did you raise troops to invade the country again today?"
After listening to this, Su Li laughed loudly and said: "Under this Lulong fortress, that's what I said, but you also forgot that there is a sentence in the middle, there is Zuo Aoran's double hammer, and a gun is at Lulong fortress,
I, Xianbei, will never rebel. Now Zuo Aoran has been dismissed from his official position by the foolish king, and he is no longer alive. Do you still blame me for rebelling? Gongsun Xu, you will not be happy there. It is better to surrender to the king and offer Lulong Sai.
, I will ensure that your family is safe in Suli, and I can also provide high-ranking officials of your Gongsun family with seats and horses to ride on, so that you two, father and son, can be kings in our Xianbei."
"Nonsense! My Gongsun family has been loyal for generations, how can I protect you? Hurry up and come over!" Gongsun Xu trembled the big gun in his hand and shouted sternly.
Su Li laughed and said: "What, you still want to reach out to me? You really don't know how to love yourself. How is your father Gongsun Zan? Is he good at martial arts? He is known as: General White Horse! Didn't you also lose at my hands? What's more, you are
Where are those yellow-haired breasts that have never been on the battlefield!?"
"Su Li, don't use big words to scare people. We will know who is better after we fight for a few times!" Gongsun continued with a trembling gun.
Su Li said loudly: "Okay, I would like to learn from you."
Gongsun Xu spurred his horse and took the lead. He twisted the gold-clawed tiger-head spear in his hand and stabbed when he was distracted. Su Li's steel fork clanged outward, knocking Gongsun Xu's spear away, and Su followed closely.
Li loosened his left hand and held the steel fork in his right hand. The head of the fork rushed forward and the tail of the fork rushed back. He raised it high, from top to bottom, and rushed to Gongsun Xu to smash the beam down.
Gongsun Xuli kicked the stirrup, ducked, and used his gun to push out Suli's steel fork. Suli was extremely powerful. It took no effort at all to knock Gongsun Xu's spear. Gongsun Xu wanted to knock someone else's steel fork.
The fork was already strenuous. When he saw the steel fork coming, Gongsun Xu put all his strength into his arms. Once he pushed the steel fork away, it was too late to move in. The two of them were two at a time.
Wrong pedaling, it was just one round, and then the horses were circled to fight again. The soldiers on both sides beat drums to encourage their generals.
