Just when Li Guang was hesitating, a long dragon suddenly appeared outside the city, with torches stretching for hundreds of meters. It looked like there were tens of thousands of people.
Are the Huns' reinforcements coming? Li Guang felt nervous. Just when he was about to order the soldiers to assemble urgently, he suddenly saw the long queue heading towards the Huns' camp in neat lines.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Listening to the neat shouts of killing, Li Guang was a little confused. How could the accent of this Guanzhong disciple be fake?
"The reinforcements have arrived, the reinforcements have arrived! The king's reinforcements have arrived!"
Li Guang was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. The soldiers were trapped in Chou City for more than 20 days. The psychological pressure on the soldiers was great, but the pressure on Li Guang's heart was not small. The life and death of the soldiers and civilians in the city depended on him alone. For more than 20 days, he has been unable to eat well, sleep restlessly, and has lost a lot of weight.
At this time, he had just emerged and seemed a little green at first, but Liu Deng directly placed him in the position of the general of the city. This period of time was really difficult for him.
"Sir, are you telling the truth?"
The soldiers on the top of the city were stunned at first, and then they all looked at Li Guang with disbelief. After all, it was late at night.
"Hahahaha, can't you hear the accent of the people from Guanzhong? How could those Huns learn it?"
Hearing what Li Guang said, the whole city was filled with joy.
"Come here, send out cavalry to receive reinforcements!"
Just when Li Guang was celebrating, the new army under the command of Liu Deng had approached the Huns' camp, but there was no light in the Huns' camp.
"Come here, send spies in and take a look!"
Liu Deng hesitated for a moment. Although to a large extent, these Huns may have escaped, but for the sake of caution, Liu Deng decided to send a small team to go in and take a look.
"Reporting to your Majesty, there is no one in the camp. It is an empty camp."
After receiving the order, a scout team went straight to the Xiongnu camp. They traveled through the camp for a long time before returning to report.
"Sure enough, they all ran away! Come on, follow me into the city to meet General Li!"
Liu Deng was really itching with hatred. These guys really ran away at the slightest disagreement.
But this is really no wonder for them. The Huns were originally nomadic people. If they can be beaten, they will fight. If they can't be beaten, they will run away.
For them, it is their survival instinct to bully the weak and fear the strong. Now that Yi Zhixie has run away, what are they still doing here?
These people staying here are not Yi Zhixie's cronies in the first place, otherwise they would not be put here as a feint by him. After all, compared to Ziwu Valley, the work here is really thankless.
Almost immediately after they discovered what had happened in Ziwu Valley, they began to flee overnight while it was dark.
"See you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Deng had just come out of the Xiongnu camp and was about to rush to Yunzhong City when he saw a group of cavalry rushing towards him.
After several primary schools saw Wang Qi, they immediately knelt in front of Liu Deng's formation. Liu Deng was very satisfied with their appearance. As expected of Li Guang, his sense of smell was really keen.
"Where is Li Guang?"
Liu Deng turned his horse forward and asked loudly.
"Report to your Majesty that General Li Guang is sitting in the city and has ordered us to come and escort your Majesty into the city!"
"How many people did you bring?"
After hearing what he said, Liu Deng asked why.
"Reporting to your Majesty, all the five thousand cavalry in the city are here. What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Very good, these Huns have been repelled by me. All the ten thousand Huns cavalry in Ziwu Valley have been killed or injured. Now you rush to the Great Wall overnight to meet up with General Guan Fu. All actions are under the command of General Guan Fu. If you can defeat the Huns We blocked people under the Great Wall for a day and a night, and everyone has done a great job. After this battle, each person will be rewarded with a hundred guan and ten acres of fertile land!"
"promise!"
Originally they had some doubts in their hearts, but after hearing such a high reward and what Liu Deng said, everyone's eyes were filled with ecstasy.
It is said that a brave man must be rewarded, not to mention what the king said. This is actually just a blocking battle. Fighting based on the Great Wall is just a day and a night. When have you ever been afraid of the Han army defending the city?
Seeing these cavalry roaring away, a stone in Liu Deng's heart finally fell to the ground temporarily. However, at this time, he had no time to rest, so he still had to seize the time to integrate the army and rush to the Great Wall.
Otherwise, relying on these cavalry to keep all the Huns within the Great Wall, Liu Deng was really worried that they would not be able to hold on during this day and night.
After all, without the support of the baggage troops and the equipment they carry with them, it is not easy to defend the city...
"Li Guang meets the king!"
After arriving at Yunzhong City, Li Guang knelt down on one knee in excitement. Originally, he didn't have to perform such a big courtesy, but he was so excited that he didn't know how to express it for a moment.
"General Li, there is no need to be so polite. You have worked hard during this period! But the war situation is urgent now, and I don't have time to say anything else to you. There are two things you need to do now!"
After not seeing each other for more than 20 days, Li Guang looked darker and thinner. When he saw Liu Deng again, he felt like he was surviving a disaster. However, Liu Deng had no time to reminisce with him, so saving the situation was like putting out a fire. Everything must still put national affairs first!
"But please give me your Majesty's orders!"
Li Guang quickly handed over his hand.
"General Li, the first thing is that I need you to immediately integrate all the horses in the city, whether they are horses, stage horses, or civilian horses, all of them are mobilized for me, and the garrison in the city is mobilized, leaving 3,000 people. Defend the city while the others wait and follow me to the Great Wall tomorrow morning!"
"No! I will give you the order now!"
"The second thing is to mobilize civilians from the city to go to the military camp outside the city and Ziwu Valley to help the defenders there clean the battlefield and prepare dry food. Before dawn tomorrow, I want to see enough dry food for 20,000 troops to last for five days!"
"No! May I ask your Majesty, where are the Huns outside the city? There should be tens of thousands of Xiongnu elite soldiers in the Ziwu Valley to intercept them. Are they all finished?"
Until now, Li Guang still couldn't believe it. Those were 40,000 Xiongnu elite soldiers, but Liu Deng's command seemed to be more than 10,000, and they were basically all infantry. There were many familiar faces among these people. Is it the new army he trained?
Just these people can defeat 40,000 Huns?
"Those people in Ziwu Valley have been wiped out. Yi Zhixie is running away, but someone is already chasing him. Whether he can catch up depends on luck. The remaining Huns should have been fleeing to the grassland. But I have ordered people to rush to the Great Wall overnight to intercept them. As long as we can reach the Great Wall before dawn the day after tomorrow, all these Huns will stay here for me to die!"
These bastards actually dared to drive the people of the Han Dynasty to join the war. This incident touched Liu Deng's bottom line. Even now, Liu Deng is still itching with hatred!
