"More than three thousand people?"
Yang Chou glanced at the distance to the south, but he couldn't guess what happened to the Huns.
If they had a falling out with the Qiang and Hu, how could they only transfer a few hundred people at a time?
If reinforcements were coming, how could they engage in any fueling tactics?
The only possibility is that these Huns may have discovered some small village, so they sent people to plunder it.
But it's impossible. There are three thousand people. How can there be such a big village for them to rob?
Is it just a matter of increasing troops and reducing operations? Or is it just pretending to be suspicious?
None of them are right.
Although we don’t know what happened to the Huns, it is certain that something happened to the Huns.
Because the Huns didn't come to attack the city today.
It has been more than 700 years since Jinyang City was conquered by Chidi in the 17th year of Duke Ping of Lu, Taiyuan County was included in the territory, and Jinyang was established as the capital.
Every time the Xiongnu went south, the first thing they invaded was Jinyang City. If Jinyang City was not taken, the Huns would go south. Once the defenders in Jinyang City attacked out of the city and the Huns couldn't see each other, they would be defeated. of.
Therefore, the Huns must capture Jinyang City, but for some reason they did not attack the city today.
At this moment, another group of Huns headed south, which was the direction Yang Chou focused on guarding.
Because once the reinforcements come, they must come from the south. Therefore, as soon as the reinforcements come, Yang Chou leads his army out of the city, and he can defeat the Huns on both sides.
But because of this, the Huns also set up the largest army in the south.
These Huns are not barbarians. Their leader, Yufuluo Shanyu, even led troops and Zhang Yang to participate in the Eighteen Route Princes' Protest against Dong.
Therefore, they are familiar with the situation in the Central Plains.
"Yes, General, I left a dozen times just to look at the torches that night, but I never came back once."
Although the Huns did not attack the city, Yang Chou was still very cautious.
Not only did they ask the soldiers to step up guard, but they also prepared to send the soldiers out of the city to check.
But at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the south.
Although it is very weak, people can't tell what it is.
It was noon, but the sky and the earth looked very blurry because of the heavy snow.
It was difficult to see what was happening in the distance, and Yang Chou looked to the south anxiously.
But he couldn't see anything clearly. The snow was too heavy. Nearby was the Huns' camp, and in the distance was a vast expanse of white snow that made it impossible to see clearly.
At night, the sounds from the sky are still so noisy.
Yang Chou just leaned against the wall, wrapped in a sheepskin, and fell into a drowsy sleep.
The snow in the sky was still so heavy. After the night passed, Yang Chou's body was covered with snowflakes.
A gust of cold wind blew up, awakening the sleepy Yang Chou. Yang Chou randomly picked up a handful of snow and wiped it on his face twice. He suddenly woke up after being stimulated by the cold wind and snow.
The first thing Yang Chou did when he stood up was to look to the south. The sound from the south was still so noisy, but it was getting louder and louder.
The Huns under the city didn't know if it was an illusion, but Yang Chou felt as if he was missing a lot.
Although it was not clear what happened, as time passed, Yang Chou found that the city wall began to tremble. It was the sound of thousands of horses galloping, and it was the cry of countless Huns.
The shouts of killing were mixed with the sound of horse hooves trampling the ground. The sound was extremely noisy, but the more noisy Yang Chou became, the more excited he became.
This means that someone is fighting with the Huns, and this noisy sound is the best news.
"General, reinforcements are really coming! Reinforcements are really coming!"
The soldiers looked at the distance with great excitement. Although they could not see how many people were coming, it seemed that there would definitely be many people coming based on the formation.
And it seems that the battle has been fierce for two days, which means that there will definitely be no shortage of people coming.
But Yang Chou was afraid that this was a trap set by the Huns and did not dare to leave the city rashly.
Because usually when reinforcements arrive, people will be sent to the city to discuss with the defenders the time to strike out of the city. Only in this case will they leave the city.
"General, what is that?"
Yang Chou followed the soldiers' fingers and looked into the distance, only to see a huge circular battle formation in the distance.
As soon as Yang Chou saw this huge circular battle formation, he realized that the situation might not be good.
The Huns are best at riding and shooting. Once surrounded by the Huns, the Huns will form a circular town and surround the enemy in the center to shoot.
Once surrounded by these, it is almost certain death.
Yang Chou glanced at the huge battle formation in the distance and shouted coldly.
"Get ready to leave the city!"
"promise!"
The soldiers did not hesitate at all and hurried down to prepare their war horses.
They had not defended the city for the past two days, which was when they were full of energy. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, their morale increased rapidly.
No matter how many reinforcements come, it shows that the outside world has not forgotten them, and there is hope as long as they continue to defend the city.
What they want to know most now is who is coming to help and how many people are coming.
Five thousand cavalry were gathered in the city, and the morale of the horses was high. Everyone's face was filled with hope.
The city gate slowly opened. Although there were not many Huns outside the city, there were tens of thousands of them.
But when the city gate opened, these Huns did not put up any resistance at all, and fled like a group of frightened sheep.
Yang Chou was even more surprised by this scene. Didn't you all surround the reinforcements?
Logically speaking, when you see yourself leaving the city, shouldn't you try your best to block it and prevent people in the city and people outside the city from meeting each other?
Why did he run away as soon as he saw them?
But at this time Yang Chou couldn't care so much and rushed towards the direction of the Huns' circular formation.
The expected battle did not happen. The Huns began to disperse the moment they saw the army led by Yang Chou, like bubbles being approached by burning red charcoal.
Before the charcoal comes into contact with the foam, the foam dissipates on its own.
"This...stop! Stop it all!"
Yang Chou quickly reined in his horse and stopped. Everything went so smoothly. Could it be a trap set by the Huns?
Yang Chou looked back and found that there were his own cavalry behind him and he couldn't see anything in the distance at all.
Yang Chou and other people slowly began to stop. When everyone stopped, the Huns in the battle formation had no idea where they had gone.
"This... you, you, go to the front and see what's going on!"
Yang Chou casually pointed at two people and asked them to go to the front to check the situation. The two of them rode their horses and ran towards the front.
After a while, they rode back again, but both of them had strange faces.
"General, there is a person in front of you."
"only one person?"
"yes!"
"Did he say how many reinforcements there were?"
"No."
"Then did he say where the army is?"
"No."
"Then what did he say?"
"He said he was the emperor."
