Ding Hu, who was rushing back and forth among the Huns, naturally saw their movements, but he did not panic.
He sneered and continued to charge straight forward. The Tiger Hunter Army on the opposite side also did the same.
The two sides staggered through the Huns' army, heading towards the opposite side, and quickly penetrated the formation of the Huns' rear army.
At the same time, Hu Xiezhi thought they were going to run away, so he changed direction with a loud shout and launched a pursuit towards the right side where there were the most people.
But as soon as they reached the hillside, Hu Xiezhi and other charging arrows who were at the front suddenly started to overturn!
People screamed and the horses neighed, and the Hun cavalry following behind them had no time to stop their horses and bumped into them again!
Herod!
After taking a closer look, I discovered that a horizontal lock had been pulled straight out of the grass and blocked the front of the Huns cavalry. This was the main reason why the Huns fell on their backs.
Looking at both sides of the hillside, rows of Song troops wearing flaming red military uniforms suddenly appeared, waving their weapons and charging towards the already overturned Huns cavalry!
"Kill!"
Long Lie shouted, brandishing a simple knife and rushed to the front. The knife slashed into the neck of a Huns cavalry. He didn't cut it in half, but as he pumped hard, the blood instantly roared like a fountain. It burst out and spread all over Long Lie's head and face!
As the warm blood spread over his body, Long Lie's eyes instantly showed a look of madness. He grinned, dodged the attack of a Hun soldier, and charged into the crowd again with his sword brandished.
Ding Hu and others who had already left took a long detour and came back, and then went straight into the Huns rear army who stayed at the same place. The cavalry that did not charge had to face the cavalry troops with sufficient impact. One can imagine.
After the rear army was completely killed, Long Lie's side was almost over. How could the Huns cavalry who failed to charge up be the opponent of the Imperial Guards who were proficient in this art in infantry combat?
The cavalry led by Hu Xiezhi was defeated in a single battle. They were defeated by the lack of information and were ambushed and killed by Long Lie and others!
Even he himself died quietly among the rebels.
Heyuan City.
"Siege the city!!!"
Tila roared, and the Huns launched another siege!
The defenders of Heyuan City had just rested for less than two hours, and the siege started again in the blink of an eye.
From the time the Xiongnu arrived again to now, the Xiongnu began to attack the city non-stop!
Three whole days!
At most, you are allowed two hours to sleep at night, and the rest of the time is spent fighting against the city.
There were many Huns, and the first ones to attack the city were the Song people, so they didn't feel bad.
But there were only so many defenders, and they had to guard four city gates.
As the siege progresses, the number of defenders is also decreasing, and the pressure on the defenders is getting bigger and bigger!
Originally, we could still work in two shifts, but now the number of people is so small that we have to work in one shift to last!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
On the top of the city, Ding Cheng gasped for air, and chopped down a Huns who had finally climbed to the top of the city after going through all kinds of difficulties, and hurriedly recovered his strength before the man came up.
This time, not only the Xiongnu fought hard, but also the soldiers guarding the city, and even he himself fought hard!
He knew what his family had paid for him.
The Tiger Hunting Army is the heritage of the family, the trump card that the Ding family relies on, and the reason why the Ding family can still survive in the Song Dynasty despite being so arrogant.
The cousin actually sent it out for himself.
According to the frequency of Xiongnu attacks in the past two days, if Heyuan City had no support, it would definitely be defeated. According to his habit, he should have run away early.
But this time, he really fought hard for his family. A dignified garrison general, he personally defended the city on the front line, and even went into battle to fight with the Huns!
But if this continues, Heyuan City will really be undefendable, but he has never received a reply to the letter asking for help he sent to the rear.
Just do your best.
This is Ding Cheng's idea.
The Huns are still attacking the city.
…
Bianjing, the imperial city.
"Your Majesty, the Dragon Guard Army and the Divine Guard Army, with the assistance of the Tiger Hunter Army, have captured the cities of Huitong and Suyun, and wiped out the Xiongnu Youxian King and his 140,000 Xiongnu troops in one battle. Now, except for those in the three cities Ten thousand people are left behind, and the rest of the army is approaching Heyuan City!"
"Okay! Well done!"
Zhao Duan couldn't help but praise him. Taking back Daliang City and other three cities meant that they could close the door and beat the dogs.
The disappearance of the Huns' 140,000 troops also weakened the strength of the Huns.
Now the three armies are approaching Heyuan City with 140,000 people. If combined with the troops in Heyuan City, the number will reach about 250,000.
I also have the capital to fight the Huns.
Zhao Duan arrived immediately: "Send a message to Long Lie and Zhang Baiye. Everything will go according to plan. There is only one chance. Don't fail. I am waiting for their good news!"
"promise!"
Cao Shuang responded and immediately went to the Imperial City Division to give the order. Now the communication between Bianjing and the Imperial Guard was through the Imperial City Division, so naturally the Imperial City Division had to come to deliver the order.
In the morning of the next day, the court also received good news from the direction of Daliang. After congratulations from all the officials, they urged the army to return quickly for reinforcements.
Tianheyuan City has asked for help again and again these days, but the imperial court does not have enough troops, so it has not been given. However, the Xiongnu's offensive has been so strong. If the Dragon Guards wait and wait, the courtiers are afraid that the Huns will really capture Heyuan City. .
Zhao Duan naturally agreed, and issued orders to the Long Wei Army and others in the name of the imperial court.
Immediately afterwards, everyone in the court began to discuss the transportation of logistics supplies.
On the official road from Tongguan to Heyuan, Long Lie and others finally received the news from the imperial city. After reading it together, they nodded to each other and understood the meaning.
Looking at Yehu who was riding alone on the side, the two of them shook their heads slightly.
Not long after, the Xiongnu also received the reason why the two cities of Hetong were also lost. Tila's heart sank. When he looked at Heyuan City in front of him, which had not been captured after six or seven days of attacking, his eyes turned red. He immediately Ordered:
"At any cost! Within three days, this Shanyu will enter Heyuan City, otherwise thousands of people will kill all the following generals!"
As soon as this order came out, the Huns who had been fishing behind the captured Song people no longer dared to fish, and they began to work hard.
The ones who felt the deepest changes in their desperate efforts were the soldiers defending the city of Heyuan.
For example, the number of enemy troops that could rush to the city in one hour was only a few hundred at most, but now it suddenly exceeded a thousand, and the pressure doubled instantly!
This made the defenders, who had finally adapted to the Huns' siege rhythm, almost collapse. Most of the veterans in the defenders were from Chen Duling's time, and they barely stabilized the situation.
But as the intensity increased, Ding Cheng began to murmur in his heart as he looked at the increasingly difficult-to-defend city.
Can this city still be defended?
"General! Another two hundred Huns suddenly came up from the east city gate! Please support!"
"General! The west city gate was broken by a car crash. The brothers suffered over a thousand casualties and retook the city gate. They have blocked the gate hole with earth and rocks. However, the brothers suffered too many casualties and there are not enough people in the west city. General, please send troops to reinforce quickly!"
"General, the North City Gate is requesting reinforcements!"
"General! The east city gate is asking for reinforcements..."
Just as he was muttering, urgent reports for reinforcements suddenly came from all four city walls. Ding Cheng had to quickly transfer the reserve team to each city gate for reinforcements.
However, as a result, he no longer has a reserve team in his hands. This is already the last batch. If he wants it again, there will really be no reinforcements.
If Heyuan City does not come to support him, he will really run away again!
Ding Cheng thought to himself.
