When the first group of Han troops appeared, the Xiongnu kings in Mayi City immediately received the news and waited for the scout to finish speaking. King Guiliu laughed loudly: "The timid Han people will never have the guts to attack, with just this few manpower
If you still want to compete with the Huns warriors, just dream!"
All the kings laughed together. King Langxie laughed the loudest: "Su Ren was in such a hurry to escape that he didn't even have time to take away such good things. I'm afraid those Han soldiers were sent by Su Ren to see if these things are enough for us to enjoy."
Yes, hahaha..."
King Han was a bit more rational and asked the scout: "Can you see clearly that they came from Yanmen Pass?"
The scout shook his head: "I don't know where it came from, but it suddenly appeared when I saw it."
"Report..., all kings, there are Han troops ten miles west of the city. The number is unknown!"
"Report..., all kings, there are Han troops ten miles south of the city. The number is unknown!"
The series of reports made the kings confused for a moment. King Han waved his hand and dismissed the scouts, asking them to monitor closely and sit on the main seat with their heads bowed in thought.
King Langxie thought for a moment and said, "Could this be Su Ren's plan to scare us away?"
King Guiliu nodded slightly: "It is possible that along the way, he has been sending people to inquire about the situation in Mayi and Yanmen and Daijun, which are the closest places to here. He did not find that a large number of Han troops appeared. Not only that, they were originally stationed in Yanmen and Daijun.
Li Guang and Cheng Bushi from Daijun are also gone, so where can we send so many Han troops?"
"Report..., all the kings, the Han army in the east of the city has been verified. The number is about 50,000, and there are 8,000 cavalry, and they are coming towards Mayi in a mighty manner!"
King Han took a breath: "It's bad, we fell into the Han people's trick!"
The kings were in a trance for a while, as if they did not understand what King Han said. They all looked at King Han with wide eyes. King Han quickly stood up from the chair. To say that this chair is indeed better than futons and cushions. Not only is it comfortable to sit on,
If there is any emergency, you can leave immediately. This is particularly attractive to these Huns who have lived in danger since childhood.
"Immediately organize soldiers and horses to protect themselves, load the necessary supplies into trucks, and as the brigade rushes out of the city, all the rest will be burned!"
"Burn?" King Guiliu had the most goods, so it would naturally take the longest time to load everything into the cart. If a large number of Han troops really came, the other kings would never stay and wait for him.
"Yes, burn them all!" King Han was worried. A large number of Han troops appeared around Mayi. There were thirty to forty thousand people on one side in the east. There must be no less than this number on the other sides. The Han troops have not yet surrounded them.
The sooner we leave Mayi, the better. In the vast grassland, the Huns have no one to fear.
King Langxie frowned: "With so many things, where can you find so many carriages? I didn't pay attention when I came in. Now I want to use them and I realize that there is not even an ox cart in the city, let alone carriages. Horses can carry it away.
Less than 10% of the stuff!”
King Guiliu quickly added: "Yes, yes, if all the extra horses are carrying goods and only one horse is left to ride on and fight, if the Han people pursue us, we will not be able to escape at all. I think we should stay here and fight."
If the Han people fight hard, aren't there just tens of thousands of Han people? We Huns warriors are still afraid of him? What's more, we are in the city, so we have an advantage in defense."
"What should I do with the Chanyu?" Someone asked suddenly, and the hearts of the kings who had just been relieved were raised in their throats again.
The Huns thought it was nothing big to kill their own people. We are all descendants of the Immortal Heaven and have been fighting for hundreds of years. Even now that they are unified, there are not many conflicts between the various tribes. Warriors versus warriors
There is nothing to be sad about when he dies. If he is killed by the Han people whom they look down upon, the Xiongnu will lose all face. What’s more, the one who was killed this time was Shanyu.
King Han waved his hand: "I can't care anymore, we have to consider our own safety first."
Han Anguo was riding a horse, with his long beard fluttering in the wind, and a large group of generals and captains standing behind him. In this situation, officers such as captains had no chance to get up. The big man devoted all his power to the battle of Mayi.
As long as there is no danger, all counties are in the queue for recruitment. Behind the captains are legion square formations, arranged according to the men and horses of each school, which is very eye-catching.
Li Danghu and Gongsun He stood on the left and right of Han Anguo. Han Anguo looked at Mayi City under the hillside. After a long time, he didn't see a horse coming out, so he laughed and said: "These fools can't even get the best for something."
The opportunity to break out was wasted!”
Gongsun He smiled and said: "Just in time, let them all die here!"
Han Anguo raised his hand, and the flag officer immediately raised the flag in his arms high. Gongsun He raised his fist at Han Anguo and said, "Sir, wait a moment, let's see what the last general accomplishes!"
As soon as the flag fell, Gongsun He took the lead and rushed down the hillside. Soldiers and horses from four schools rushed out from the military formation at the same time, following closely behind Gongsun He. They were all cavalry. They had just received horse riding training for a short period of time, and they were quite comfortable sitting on the saddle.
Touching the saddle made of wood and linen, Gongsun He smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't know how Su Ren came up with such a thing. With it, even if he didn't know how to ride a horse, he could still sit on the horse.
The soldiers and horses of the four schools did not go straight to Mayi City, but began to disperse three miles outside Mayi City. Each team began to circle along the Mayi city wall, beating their horses and running wildly, while throwing their belongings on the ground for free.
There was no difference wherever it passed, except that bursts of dust were raised, obscuring the sight of everyone in Mayi City.
King Guiliu took a deep breath and said to the kings: "What are you talking about? This is the trick of the Han people. They don't have the guts to fight with my Xiongnu warriors!"
King Langye was young and had good eyesight. He frowned and asked the King of Han next to him softly: "What did the Han people throw away?"
King Han shook his head: "I don't know, but it definitely can't be something good. Did you see it? It's sprinkled all around, leaving only one way in. The Han army is coming!"
"In formation! In formation!" Roars and shouts echoed throughout the city of Mayi. The Huns soldiers rushed out of their sleeping quarters and quickly rushed to the stables. Only when they got on their horses would they feel safe.
Originally, the Huns stayed with their horses in the wild or during battles. Exceptions occurred after entering Mayi City. The Huns horses did not need to be saddled, and they were done when they carried their weapons and mounted them. Wait for the Huns army to rush out of the city gate.
When standing outside the empty city, Han people were still pouring in from all directions.
King Guiliu opened his mouth: "What? Why are there so many? It looks like no less than a hundred thousand!"
The King of Han said angrily: "If one hundred thousand infantry fights against our Huns cavalry, the final result will be defeat!"
King Langxie gritted his teeth: "Why don't we ask for help from Shan Yu? Shan Yu still has thousands of troops and tens of thousands of victims. If these people come over, they can hold back the Han people!"
King Langye's proposal was approved by many people. King Guiliu immediately ran to light up the smoke to ask for help. The deafening drums drowned out all the sounds in Mayi. Tens of thousands of cavalry lined up outside the city. As long as the Han people entered their
With their attack range, they were sure to defeat the Han people with one charge.
Han Anguo's helmet tassel shone red, like blood in the sun. The wind blew up his cloak, and he held his sword in his hand with his waist straight. He raised his hand and slowly lowered it. The flag-bearing soldier immediately put it in his hand.
The flag waved twice, the sound of the drums suddenly stopped, and the advancing infantry stopped immediately. The military formation had been completed, and Mayi City had been surrounded. At this time, even if the Huns wanted to break through the defenses, they had no chance.
Chanyu came out of the tent when he heard the sound of huge drums. He had only one thought in his mind, it was indeed a trap! It was indeed a trap! His tent was only twenty miles away from Mayi City. In such a short distance, what happened in Mayi City
He saw things clearly. There were smoke and trumpets, and Shan Yu closed his eyes in pain. It was not that he was unwilling to save, but that he knew very well that since the Han people came out, it meant that they must have someone blocking their way.
.
"Chanyu! The kings in Mayi City are asking for help and begging Shanyu to send troops quickly!" The ordering soldier knelt down in front of Shanyu.
Shan Yu said: "Are there Han troops in front of us?"
"Yes! There are only about three thousand people, and most of them are infantry!"
"Oh? Is it Li Guang or Cheng Bushi who is leading the army?"
The messenger said: "I don't know! But I see the word "guard" written on the general's flag."
"Oh? Your surname is Wei? Is there a general named Wei in the Han army?"
"The news came from Chang'an that the Han emperor made his wife's brother a general, and I'm afraid it was this one."
"Hahaha..." Shanyu laughed: "God help me, God help me! How much ability can a person who relies on his nepotism to become a general have? I seem to remember that Mrs. Wei was just a slave girl. His
This younger brother is nothing more than a stable boy!" The ordering soldier did not speak, but Shanyu laughed a few times and said: "Send the order to raise troops to rescue Mayi!"
Wolf smoke came out one after another, both from the Han people and the Huns. I don’t know when the Huns started to like to use things like smoke to warn or communicate. The smell of cow dung spread on the grassland, and it didn’t take long for the people to smell it.
It spread over a large area. Wei Qing rode his horse and searched in front of the formation. The long sword in his hand collided with the weapons stretched out by the soldiers, making a crisp sound.
Gongsun Gui looked at the busy Shanyu camp in the distance, with a mixture of nervousness and excitement on his face. Since the Gongshu squad was defeated by the Mohists, the Gongshu squad has never been on the battlefield. This is also the reason why the princes no longer pay attention to the Gongshu squad. For hundreds of years,
Here, Gongshujia is unknown, and he did not expect to come to the battlefield again. This is an opportunity for Gongshujia, and Gongshu Rail will definitely grasp it firmly.
"Cring the crossbow! The Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicle comes out!"
With roars one after another, Wei Qing's thousands of people immediately got busy. These are their secret weapons. Whether they are useful or not depends on the results of this station. Turning the horse's head, Wei Qing raised his long sword high to face him.
Feng stood on the horse. The soldiers roared and applauded their commander for his superb riding skills. (To be continued)
