Four hundred steps away from Dingyang City, the Huns' 100,000-strong army looked at the city in the distance, but their hearts were beating!
I was full of confidence when I came here, but once I got into the fight, I realized that this damn town was just a drop in the bucket!
This is clearly an impregnable turtle shell! No! It's a hedgehog!
Not only is it difficult to hit, but it can also cause pain in people’s hands!
"Da Chanyu, can we really capture this city?"
A Hun general who was almost killed by the explosion just now but luckily managed to save his life on the edge looked at Dingyang City with fear in his eyes and murmured.
Tila, who had the same fear in his eyes, suddenly came back to his senses when he heard this. He turned around and glanced around, only to find that all the soldiers under his command were actually looking at Dingyang City opposite with fearful expressions, and his heart immediately Just sink!
Turning back, he silently took out the scimitar from his waist, and then swung it out fiercely!
Poof!
Blood spurts!
The Hun general who was muttering to himself just now covered his neck in disbelief and fell off his horse with a plop!
He released his hands, and a huge wound appeared on his neck. Dark red blood gurgled out like a stream, dyeing the ground red in an instant!
Raising the blood-stained scimitar in his hand, Tila turned back to the Hun soldiers with a ferocious expression and said loudly:
"Anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army will suffer this fate!"
The Xiongnu army suddenly felt shocked, and quickly put away the panic, fear, panic and other emotions on their faces, and regained their spirits.
Seeing this, Tira nodded with satisfaction and continued to shout to the crowd: "As the grassland gateway of Yunzhou County, Dingyang City must have spent a lot of money on defense. It is normal for us to be difficult to defeat!
But these Song people have forgotten that this is not Guannei, not the Central Plains!
We can't defeat Dingyang City, we don't have to fight at all!
I don't believe it. Every city in his city has this kind of defense capability? "
At this time, someone suddenly said: "Dad Chanyu, what if they attack us from behind when we go to attack other cities?"
Tila glanced at him but was not angry, nodded and said: "So in order to prevent this situation, this Shanyu will leave ten thousand people behind, don't worry.
I'm not asking you to attack the city, I'm just asking you to guard it and don't let the people from Dingyang City come out.
According to the information from the Falcon Court, the number of people in the entire Dingyang City is less than 5,000!
This Shanyu has left 10,000 people for you, just for your viewing pleasure. Is that okay? "
The person who spoke just now fell silent and did not continue speaking.
At this time, General Zuo Guite stepped forward and volunteered:
"Chanyu, let me guard Dingyang City!
Don't worry, Da Shan, I won't let even a mosquito escape from Dingyang City! "
I am very happy to see someone willing to take the initiative to stay with Tira.
The Xiongnu came here just to plunder, and plundering can only plunder more things by participating in the war, and guarding here is destined to not get much loot. Under such circumstances, step forward and volunteer to stay. This means giving up the benefits that you should have received.
Therefore, Tila was extremely satisfied with Ouguate, the general of the left who knew the situation.
Then he opened his mouth and said:
"General Oguote is the warrior of my great Huns.
The Shanyu decided that after this event, Ouguite would be promoted to the new Right Xian King, and the original Youxian King would automatically be promoted to Zuoxian King! "
As soon as Tira said these words, not only Ouguite, but also the original King Xian of the Right showed joy on his face. The original King of the Xian of the Zuo had been executed for his incompetence in fighting. The vacancy of the position of the King of the Zuo had already caused undercurrents within the Xiongnu. turbulent.
In the Song Dynasty, the prince was called the prince, and a country can only have a future if it has a prince. Otherwise, the people under you will not know whether to continue to follow you. What if you don't even have an heir? What will others do? To follow you and fight to the death?
Who doesn’t work hard to make their children and grandchildren live a better life?
If you don't even have a future, who would be willing to do it with you?
The person who assumes the status of prince among the Xiongnu is King Zuoxian. Generally, the next Xiongnu will be born from King Zuoxian.
Therefore, as soon as the original King Zuoxian died, many of the remaining top Xiongnu officials focused on this position.
Tila brought this matter up at this time, and it is difficult not to make people doubt his purpose.
Is he fishing?
This is unknown...
The Xiongnu army left Dingyang City, leaving 10,000 people behind, and the rest bypassed Dingyang and headed for Yunzhong City.
When Dingyang City learned the news...
evening.
"What? The Huns bypassed us and left?"
Dingyang City Government Office.
When Lin Songhui, the current prefect of Dingyang, heard the news, he stood up in shock.
The officer who came to report immediately nodded and replied: "Master Fu, after the defenders bombarded the Xiongnu with Huoshaoyun artillery this afternoon, they stopped attacking. In addition, it was getting dark. We originally thought that they would rest for a night before continuing. attack.
But I didn't expect that in the evening, I saw a large number of people heading east. The route was heading towards Yunzhong City.
However, although they left, they still left an estimated ten thousand Huns cavalry outside our city to guard the city, but they did not attack the city. I don't know what it means? "
Lin Songhui walked up and down the yamen with his hands behind his back, and after a while he said with certainty:
"They saw that they couldn't defeat us, so they changed their targets. As for the ten thousand people left behind, they were afraid that we would attack from behind and they would stay to contain us.
The news must be sent to Yunzhong City immediately, otherwise it will be bad if there is a surprise attack! "
Hearing this, the Yamen servant scratched his head and said: "Master Fu, it stands to reason that our three cities in Yunzhou have all been on alert after receiving the news of the Huns' arrival. Even if the Huns make a surprise attack, I'm afraid they won't be able to attack by surprise. Cloud City, right?"
"You know nothing!"
Lin Songhui cursed and revealed a secret in Yunzhong City.
"Ever since we received the news that the Huns are coming to attack our Yunzhou County, unidentified people have been sneaking into our three cities. It doesn't take much to guess that they are spies from the Huns.
Both our place and my place are fine. Since it was more urgent, the secret guards made great efforts to clear it out. Although the spies in the city may not have been completely cleared out, there are definitely not many of them. They can't do anything big.
But Yunzhong City is different. When the prince went on an expedition, the secret guards took away more than half of them to gather information on the battlefield. The secret guards were short of manpower. If they focused on clearing us and the capital, the corresponding force in Yunzhong City would be insufficient. .
It is also said that Bai Laogui was attacked and killed by Xiongnu Xizuo until three days ago, but it was the small team sent by the secret guards around the senior officials who rescued him, otherwise Yunzhong City would probably be leaderless at this moment! "
After hearing this, the Yamen servant was suddenly shocked and said in shock: "Are those tricksters so rampant? How dare they assassinate Bai Zhifu of Yunzhong City?"
Lin Songhui snorted coldly and said: "Although the secret guards in Yunzhong City are short of manpower, the secret guards under the prince's command are not easy to deal with. Their actions were almost completely destroyed. It is probably because the pressure on them from above is too great. Give me an explanation and do this crazy thing.
But precisely because of this, if Yunzhong City is not notified in advance, I'm afraid that the madmen in Yunzhong City will do something. When the time comes, Bai Laogui will have to deal with the Xiongnu siege while also guarding against the enemy. It will be too dangerous. . "
Lin Songhui pondered for a moment, then quickly came to the desk and wrote a handwritten letter and then handed it to the Yamen servant:
"Give it to the secret guard station. They have a letter eagle and can deliver the letter to Yunzhong City as quickly as possible!"
"promise!"
The yamen servant knew how important the matter was, so he didn't dare to neglect. He immediately nodded, took the letter and hurried out.
Shortly after the yamen left, Lin Songhui stayed alone in the prefect's yamen for a while, and then hurried towards the west gate.
He had to go and see if those remaining Huns had a chance to do something!
It's not his character to sit back and wait for death!
