The moonlight shines.
The road is still clearly visible at night.
Fifty thousand royal cavalry, led by Subsanruo, successfully bypassed the northern defenders of Henan.
We arrived outside the county town called Juyan.
This is the junction between the east of Yue County and the southwest of Henan.
In the past, it was the place where Yuezhi had the most interactions with traders.
But now because of Yuezhi's escape.
The conflict between the Qin Dynasty and the Xiongnu in the Western Regions made this county, which used to have many outsiders, become increasingly lonely.
Several Xiongnu scouts moved around the county town little by little.
There were only dozens of soldiers guarding the city on the simple earth wall.
After the scouts investigated in detail, they returned to the army and reported to Subsanruo.
"Clan leader, there are few defenders in the county."
"If we attack suddenly, we should be able to capture it easily."
Subsanruo frowned slightly.
All the troops of Great Qin gathered in Henan and the west of Yue County.
There won't be many defenders here.
He really wants to capture this city now.
Not only because they are easy to fight, but also because their army is already running out of food and grass.
When they came.
They just followed the urgent march and penetrated behind enemy lines, carrying three days of food and grass.
But suddenly, because of King Yougu Li's delay, they had to hide and wait for several more days.
In this case, even if Subsanruo ordered it immediately.
Reduce consumption and save money.
When passing through the mountains and forests, we try to collect as many wild animals as we can hunt.
But a few days later, the 50,000-strong army still reached the end of their rope.
The tribesmen now looked towards the county seat.
Everyone's eyes were already glowing red, like wild wolves on the verge of starving to death.
Subsanruo knew that if he forced the soldiers to endure it again today.
Who knows, tomorrow morning, he will be the one the soldiers want to eat!
But if we capture this city now.
No matter how small the movement is, it will definitely be known to the Qin army in the middle of Yue County.
By then, the pincer attack plan will inevitably be exposed.
But the tribesmen around him all spoke.
"Clan leader, don't hesitate any longer."
"The soldiers' rations were all gone yesterday."
"If you miss a good opportunity for a sneak attack, you can come back later."
"But if I continue to be hungry."
"No matter how good the fighter opportunity is, the soldiers are unable to fight anymore!"
"If you don't eat anything today."
"All they can do is eat and sit down on their horses!"
Subsanruo frowned.
Sighed.
"That's all, even if it's really exposed, it's just an emergency withdrawal."
"At worst, we go to the frontal battlefield and fight back the missed fighter planes!"
Then he turned around and looked at the clan soldiers behind him who had drawn their weapons and looked eager.
Said in a deep voice.
"Soldiers! Who cares about me, the King of Heaven?"
"Let's take this city first and have a full stomach before we talk!"
When the words fell, the soldiers were about to cheer.
Subruosang immediately raised his hand to suppress it.
"Who would like to go around to the north of the city first to call for the gate?"
“Attract the Qin people’s attention.
"We are waiting for the army to attack the city from the east!"
The words fell.
Immediately some soldiers stood up.
Subruosang didn’t say much.
They were given to dozens of people and ordered to pretend to be Qin people.
Regardless of whether they can be deceived or not, they will immediately attack the east gate.
A small county like this could have at most a few thousand garrison troops.
If you attract more attention, I'm afraid it won't take more than an hour to win.
Subruosang looked at the soldiers who had already run to the north gate and shouted loudly.
Immediately ordered the army behind him.
"Start dismounting, prepare equipment, let's attack the city!"
Fifty thousand soldiers immediately tied their horses to the spot.
Take out the hook.
This kind of thing is much more portable than a ladder, and is very practical when they attack small countries and cities in the north of the Western Region.
They also tied many knots on the hook rope.
To facilitate climbing with both hands.
Subsangruo glanced at the soldier calling the gate from the north.
There was already some confusion at this moment.
This caused the defenders on the surrounding city walls to move towards that side.
Subsanruo felt more at ease.
So, wait until they break out of this sparse forest.
Even if the defenders wanted to react, they would call out to the other defenders in the city.
It’s too late!
It seems that this city is easily available.
Subsangruo nodded secretly.
Then an order was given.
"Soldiers, there is delicious food in this city! There are women!"
"Just get over that wall."
"Everything you can see is yours!"
"Kill me!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of shouting and killing.
The 50,000-strong army rushed out immediately, and more than 30,000 troops rushed out.
This was the part that Subruosang forcibly pressed just in case.
Otherwise, the remaining 20,000 people will definitely not be willing to stay where they are.
The loud sound of fighting was like a thunder in winter.
sudden appearance.
The defenders on the city were so frightened that they all retreated in horror.
Shouting from the mouth.
"How could he be a barbarian?"
"Enemy attack!"
"It's a barbarian enemy attack!"
But the sparse shouts could not make even a single ripple under the thundering roar of killing.
In front of the tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers rushing in like a tide.
The defenders didn't even have the guts to look down.
He only shot a few sparse arrows before they were shot by the Huns who had already run under the city wall.
I was so stressed that I didn't dare to lift my head.
Qian Chang, who was leading the charge at the front, laughed loudly.
"Look at these cowards!"
"Qin people are like this, it's better not to resist and surrender directly."
"Lest we scare them enough to pee their pants and make them embarrassed."
"Hahaha."
"Soldiers, rush for me!"
"The first one to rush forward, let him be the first to pick among the women in the city!"
"The second one to rush forward will have the money and treasures in the city for him to take!"
"Anyway, whatever we see in this city today belongs to us, hahaha!"
Qian Chang's shouts made the already hungry soldiers even more excited.
Each one of them threw out a hook and climbed up like a wild man.
In the past sieges, they suffered more resistance.
What arrows rolled wood, flaming stones.
But today, there were surprisingly few people who dared to fight back.
Qian Chang laughed.
He personally took over a rope.
Kick with both feet.
As flexible as a monkey.
The city wall, which was not very high to begin with, was half climbed by him in just a few breaths.
Seeing that the soldiers on both sides had climbed up one by one.
No one fell off either.
There was no trace of resistance from the Qin people.
Qian Chang became more and more excited.
Until he reached the edge of the wall.
Before he could reach the probe, another extended hand was caught by someone.
Pulled him up.
Qian Chang laughed.
"Let me see what good things this city has."
The words have not yet been spoken.
He then saw clearly what was in front of him.
Rows of black crossbow arrows darker than the abyss.
Dazzling in the moonlight.
The people of Qin who had been waiting for a long time died one by one.
Crouch still.
And the one who helped him.
He thoughtfully placed the long sword on his neck.
Remind him to put down his weapons and not to make any ambush.
Qian Chang's expression changed drastically.
All the hairs on his body exploded in an instant.
If it were daytime, you might be able to see that the entire face had turned pale several times.
He looked to both sides.
One by one, the barbarian soldiers just turned up.
His mouth was immediately covered and his neck was wiped.
Only he was left alive.
The canthus of the thousand long eyes is about to split.
This cannot go on.
Otherwise, the clansmen attacking the city would have to die bit by bit.
Just when his eyes were about to burst and he wanted to die to remind the soldiers.
Finally, a barbarian poked his head in before climbing up the wall.
I was shocked when I saw this scene.
"There's an ambush!"
Qian Chang also gritted his teeth at this moment.
He stretched his neck back and blocked the long sword with his forearm.
He roared and turned around to shout.
"There are Qin troops in the city!"
"Quickly retreat!"
next moment.
The sharp sword cut off the short arm.
It hit Qian Chang's neck hard.
Blood spurted out instantly.
Also in an instant.
The Qin troops on the city wall no longer concealed themselves.
They all got up and came to the wall.
The crossbow in his hand went downwards.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The climbing Hu man on the rope was instantly penetrated through the head.
Bodies rained down.
But after shooting, the Qin people did not stop.
Instead, retreat immediately.
Let the soldiers behind you take turns to come forward.
Dozens of rockets shot out from behind.
Dozens of haystacks not far from the city wall were suddenly set on fire.
All the barbarians who rushed to the foot of the city wall were clearly visible in the light of the sky.
Then, a baptism of arrows began to fall.
The originally sparse city walls.
At this moment, there were already many soldiers of the Qin army standing there.
The crossbow arrows came one after another like wind and waves.
The Hu people who were caught off guard suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
Subsanruo's eyes widened in the distance.
Full of incredible.
How is it possible, how can the Qin people ambush here again!
But now it's too late to regret it.
He yelled loudly.
"withdraw!"
"Retreat immediately!"
On top of the city wall.
Zhang Liang laughed.
"Withdraw what!"
"Don't you like the things in this city?"
"Give it to you, give it all to you!"
"Don't run!"
Subsanruo looked at the army that had killed and wounded ten thousand people.
He immediately gritted his teeth.
At this time, the soldier beside him who came back from Beijingmen suddenly said.
"Clan leader!"
"The soldiers have no way to survive, so we must not let this city go."
"I just saw it. The north wall is extremely empty."
"It seems they only have ten thousand troops."
"Now even if it means exchanging lives for lives, we must take it down."
"Otherwise, the Qin people will find out."
"The soldiers will no longer have food to eat, and they will only end up in a more miserable end!"
Subsanruo also knew it very well.
Take the city and plunder it.
They can successfully return to the grassland.
Otherwise, all fifty thousand soldiers might starve to death in this wilderness.
Subsanruo clasped his hands.
Then he shouted loudly.
"The whole army obeys the order!"
"Attack the city in four directions at the same time."
"Conquer this city, and you will have food and women!"
"If we can't defeat him, we will die here together!"
Subsanruo put a dead end in front of the soldiers.
Wanting to inspire them to fight back desperately.
The soldiers did what he thought.
My eyes turned red when I heard this.
The danger of life and death made them all forget their fear.
He just stared at Juyan City.
Subsanruo sent an order to four thousand leaders.
"Each of you will lead ten thousand people to attack the city."
"I don't believe that these 20,000 people can hold it!"
Everyone obeyed.
He led people and rushed in all directions.
Subsanruo, on the other hand, led ten thousand of his most elite troops forward and out of the range of the crossbow.
"Who are you!"
"How do you know I'm coming?"
"To be able to ambush him in advance, he must not be an unknown person!"
Zhang Liang smiled slightly.
Looking at the barbarian army splitting up and leaving.
His expression was very relaxed.
"There are our spies in your royal court!"
"You don't know?"
Zhang Liang said very jokingly.
"Your whereabouts have already been known to us."
"If I don't lay an ambush, why would I act like a fool and confront you head on?"
Zhang Liang's casual words made Xubu Sangruo's head buzz.
His eyes widened instantly.
Is there a spy in the royal court?
Then wouldn’t it be that he had been under the Qin people’s noses all the way here?
Immediately afterwards, Subsanruo turned around suddenly.
Looking at the three armies that had already led their troops to run away.
shouted anxiously.
"etc!"
But the next words of vigilance could not be uttered yet.
Screams could already be heard from the front of the 10,000-strong army in the north.
I saw.
Each and every barbarian was instantly defeated.
Chasing into the pit.
Blood spurts everywhere.
The barbarians behind him were frightened and inexplicable.
They swallowed and looked at their feet with hairs all over their bodies.
They were deep pits filled with sharp wooden thorns.
The soldiers in front had no human form at this moment.
Subsangruo gritted his teeth.
There really is a spy in the royal court!
Otherwise, how could the Qin people know their path so clearly.
You can also dig holes and ambush in advance.
Subsanruo was more certain of the authenticity of what Zhang Liang said.
But now he can't think too much.
Since the people of Qin know that he has 50,000 troops.
It's absolutely impossible to just set this little trap.
Subsanruo shouted.
"The Qin people have been lying in wait for many days!"
"Let's withdraw!"
"Immediately retreat to the north and ask for help from the royal court."
"The Royal Court's army is now in Henan Province fighting against the Qin people."
"It is impossible to say that the Qin people's defense line has been broken."
"As long as we join them, there is still a way to survive!"
The words fell.
Originally, all the barbarians were filled with murderous intent.
Already feeling a bit sluggish at the moment.
But he still gritted his teeth and rushed towards the horse.
Subsanruo stood in the sparse woods.
He stared at Zhang Liang and the defenders on Juyan City.
Be prepared to pursue him out of the city.
But not until the soldiers withdrew.
The man was still looking at himself with a smile on his face.
The more this happened, the more Subsanruo's heart sank to the bottom.
But he had no choice but to lead the army and retreat to the north, shouting.
Once out of the woods.
Subsanruo immediately turned around.
"We're not going north!"
"east!"
"They must have an ambush waiting for us."
"Only by turning eastward can we possibly find a way out!"
The soldiers beside him said nothing, and just followed him to urge the horses as hard as they could.
But at this moment.
Directly ahead of that east side.
In the empty fields.
Each majestic figure gradually became clearer in the moonlight.
The barbarian at the front suddenly shouted.
"stop!"
"There are people from Qin!"
Subsanruo's eyes widened.
Terrified.
Did the people of Qin think that he would go east?
Subsanruo shouted again.
"Turn!"
"To the north!"
But the Hu soldiers had not had time to turn their horses around.
The clatter of horse hooves in the north is like the whisper of death.
The panicked Hu people were at a loss.
Subsanruo still wanted to struggle.
He didn't believe it.
The Qin people, who were short of troops, could mobilize as many troops as they wanted to besiege them.
But at this time, Xiang Yu appeared from the south.
I no longer want to play with him.
The halberd was suddenly swung.
Pointing at Subsanruo.
"Leave this one to me."
"Others, feel free to kill!"
The words fell.
The surging Qin cavalry crashed into the Hu people like a flood.
Subsanruo shouted loudly with his eyes widened.
"They don't have that many troops!"
"Kill them through."
"We can still go back."
But the words just fell.
I have just come into contact with Xiang Yu and the Xiang family's descendants, the Hu soldiers.
It's like cloth facing scissors.
Torn apart instantly.
Xiang Yu's halberd ring and waist.
Keep sweeping around.
Go straight in.
His eyes were fixed on Subsanruo.
The children of the Xiang family beside him are all brave.
Killing a barbarian is like killing a chicken.
One knife at a time.
Seeing this, Xubu Sangruo was heartbroken.
