He hurriedly followed Qin's guards to the city wall. Looking at the large group of people in the darkness outside, Ding Cheng felt his eyes go dark and fainted. Fortunately, the guards beside him supported him and kept pressing him down. Only then did he wake up leisurely.
"General! General! Wake up!"
…
Drowsily, his consciousness gradually awakened. Ding Cheng saw the familiar and anxious face of his personal guard. His tone was trembling and he asked with a little expectancy in his eyes:
"Xiao Wu, you told me that there are no Huns outside the city. What I saw just now was all an illusion! Right?"
The personal guard Xiao Wu had a sad face and told him the cold reality with his 38° mouth:
“General, it’s not an illusion, there are really hundreds of thousands of Huns outside, surrounding our Weiyang City.
Wake up quickly, you are the hope of our brothers, you cannot fail! "
"There are really hundreds of thousands of Huns!"
Ding Cheng muttered and repeated it. As soon as he opened his eyes, the next moment he wanted to close them and pass out again, escaping from reality.
The personal guard Xiao Wu hurriedly pressed him hard again, and shouted: "General! General! You can't faint! What should we do if you faint! General!"
Waves of pain hit him, forcing Ding Cheng, who was about to fall into a coma, to wake up. Looking at the surprised expression on his bodyguard Xiao Wu's face when he saw him awake, he actually showed a smile that was uglier than crying. .
Boy, can't you make me faint? ah?
However, looking at the surprised look on the boy's face, he sighed and Ding Cheng slowly stood up with the help of his personal guard Xiao Wu.
Looking outside the city again, the sight of hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu garrisoned outside the city was still chilling to the bottom of my heart.
But Ding Cheng had already accepted this cruel reality, and was not frightened into fainting again.
Looking at the scene outside, Ding Cheng asked: "Where did these Huns come from? Didn't it say that the Huns' troops were all outside Heyuan City? Our small town has no important value, so why are there so many Huns!" "
Ding Cheng couldn't understand how he could be so unlucky.
As a member of the Ding family, every adult man needs to serve the family in the northwest to stabilize the family's military power.
As a sideline, I have no share in those high-ranking positions. However, as a member of the Ding family, I still have preferential treatment in the army. I don’t have to stay in a border town. I just work as a guard in a small town in the east of Hedong, hanging around and fighting every day. Dogs drink flower wine and live very uncomfortable lives.
Even if the Xiongnu enters the city, Weiyang City is not an important strategic location, and there are no important people or materials here. In addition, there are some soldiers under his command, so the Xiongnu will not target him no matter what.
Who would have thought that a person would be so unlucky that his teeth would be clogged even after drinking cold water. He had just finished drinking flower wine last night and his home was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Huns when he woke up early in the morning. Ding Cheng's mood at this time was no different from that of a dead dog!
What the hell is going on!
The guard also had a mournful look on his face, and said with a blank look on his face: "General, I don't know. In the morning, as usual, General, you came to inspect the city defense on behalf of the general. Who would have thought that suddenly the Huns came, and then they set up camp outside the city. Okay, general, look at the fireworks going up in their camp. The number is at least 300,000!
General, when did we capture the Huns Chanyu’s mother-in-law? As for doing this to us? "
"Mom, who am I asking? Could it be that the woman who accompanied me and drank wine yesterday was the wife of the Xiongnu Chanyu? Impossible! She was clearly a Japanese courtesan sold by Feiyun Trading Company. There is no way she has anything to do with the Xiongnu. Relationship!" Ding Cheng cursed and made random guesses.
The guards almost cried:
"General, what should we do?
Three hundred thousand! We only have over 10,000 men in the city, and the Huns outside the city can drown us with just a splash of urine. Wei Yang can't hold on! "
Ding Cheng looked at the fireworks rising outside the city, pondered for a long time, pulled his bodyguard to a corner and whispered:
"You go back to my house now, inform my wife and my son and ask them to pack some gold, silver, soft goods and dry food that are easy to carry, and leave immediately from the underground passage of the house. They know the place, and ask them not to disturb other people.
When they leave, you can come back to me and we can go together. Don't worry, I will protect your kid during this period, and then we can go together!
I'll hold off the Huns for a while here to buy you some time! "
As soon as Ding Cheng said these words, the personal guard Xiao Wu's eyes widened instantly. Firstly, it was because the garrison mansion actually had an underground passage leading outside the city, and secondly, the general had just threatened him with his only son.
His son was Ding Cheng's personal guard like him. Ding Cheng was clearly afraid that he would run away first, so he took the hostage.
After being stunned for a while, he nodded with complicated eyes and agreed.
"General, I understand! Don't those aunts need to be notified?"
Ding Cheng ignored Xiao Wu's complicated eyes. It was a matter of life and death, and he wouldn't worry if he didn't have a handle in his hand. Even if Xiao Wu hated him after this incident, it didn't matter. He had to ensure that he could survive first.
As for the aunts in my house...
Especially the Shui Lingling concubine that he just took in last month. After Ding Cheng thought about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "No! If those girls take them with them, there will be too many people talking, and it will be difficult to run away. Just bring the madam and my son, and at most, bring the housekeeper and the madam’s maid to wait on them!
Try to lighten your load as much as possible to escape! "
"Okay! I understand, little one!"
Personal guard Xiao Wu left quickly to prepare, while Ding Cheng immediately called for Xiao Wu's son Dabao to come to him.
He smiled and said to the honest-looking Dabao: "Dabao, your father has gone to do something for me. During this period, you will be my guard here. You must never leave! Okay?"
Dabao scratched his head and nodded heavily in agreement.
"Okay! My father asked me to listen to the general. Whatever you say, general, will be yours!"
Ding Cheng nodded with satisfaction and immediately began to set up the city defense.
Although he was just here to mess around, the Ding family was still in the world of military commanders, and was the number one general in the Song Dynasty. The son of the family has been leading troops since elementary school, and he still has the ability to arrange the defense of the city.
Seeing so many Huns outside the city, not to mention Ding Cheng, the lower-level soldiers in the city were also frightened. In the end, with Ding Cheng's comfort, they quickly prepared to defend the city.
Soon, the Huns outside the city had eaten and rested, and then they started to move.
It's just that the first people to appear under the city were not the Xiongnu, but the people of the Song Dynasty.
The Xiongnu soldiers were mixed in with the crowd and were approaching the city wall. Obviously, this was the Xiongnu's plan to make them surrender.
But this time they obviously guessed the wrong person. Ding Cheng is not a person who cares about the people. As soon as the first people entered the attack range of Weiyang City, Ding Cheng immediately gave the order and spat out the word without any hesitation. Got out.
The next moment, an overwhelming rain of arrows was fired at the approaching crowd.
Together with the Huns and Song people who were hiding among the Song people, they were all hit by the rain of arrows from Weiyang City!
In an instant, the sound of arrows piercing the flesh kept resounding, and the wails of those who were hit by the arrows continued to sound. Some unlucky ones were even shot directly into hedgehogs, and were forced to hang half in the air supported by the arrows that passed through their bodies. He died on the spot!
