Chapter 529: The First Strike is the Strongest 1
(Thanks to book friend "The Wretched Xiao Huang" for his reward!!)
After arriving outside Guihua City, Mu suddenly ordered the army to station on the spot to repair it.
Attacking naturalization is a long-term thing and it is too anxious for a while, so suddenly, the whole army was ordered to be camped.
However, it is said that a camp is just a simple setting up some tents, and there is no fixed and complete camping regulations like the Wei army.
After arranging these things, Mu suddenly asked the Xiyun tribe to lead a few ordinary tribes and gather more than 10,000 cavalrymen to drive to Guihua City.
Although he was not long ago, Hu Renmu wanted to let the naturalization feel his existence, so it became necessary to send someone to demonstrate first.
So, Zheyuda, the chief of the Xiyun tribe, led 4,000 people from the headquarters and three other ten thousand cavalry to Guihua City, and the formation was absolutely huge.
Based on the information they had known before, they also knew that the cavalry team had been expanded in Guihua City, so Zheyuda was actually full of vigilance.
The regular cavalry of Wei State can compete with the cavalry of the Xiongnu headquarters. Even if it may be suddenly expanded into an army now, it cannot be underestimated by the Xiyun army.
Although the thirty miles were not very far away, the Xiyun tribe walked at normal speed and walked for half an hour.
This is also for safety reasons. If the cavalry is moving at high speed, it will consume too much horsepower.
If an ambush is suddenly predicted, it will not only be difficult to adjust the formation, but also the horsepower will be difficult to support.
It was noon, and after half a year, the Hun army appeared again in Guihua City, and the atmosphere on the city suddenly became tense.
One by one, the bows and arrows were raised, and soldiers from various parts of Guihua City climbed up the city tower, staring at the Hun army in the distance below.
Similarly, Zheyuda, who was far away from the city wall, also stared at the top of the city tower.
When he attacked Wei State in a large-scale attack last year, Xiyun's troops followed Zuo General Sui Mu to the Great Wall, so he was actually a little unfamiliar with him when he came outside Guihua City.
However, the Nanyu tribe who was with him this time followed the right general Adaye to besiege naturalized last year, but this time, he suddenly did not let them come first.
"General, this Guihua City seems to be more difficult to capture than the Great Wall of Wei!" said a thousand-man commander.
This is a fact. The Great Wall is too long, but the defense is relatively worse.
"If it is simple to win the naturalization, then the right general would not have returned without success before the New Year!" Zheyuda said in a deep voice.
After saying this nonsense, Zheyuda ordered people to come out and began to insult the city wall, which was one of the rare traditions of the Huns fighting.
After all, siege is really not good at it. If you can scold people and then annihilate the enemy, wouldn't it be much easier?
Wu Xiangyou and Zhang Ju knew this well about the two leaders in the city, so they would not be angry, just ordered their soldiers to scold them back.
The two of them were standing upright at the command center under the Ximen of Naturalization, discussing the response plan after the battle began.
Defending the city is a passive beating, so it is always good to think of more countermeasures. If the Huns find a loophole like last year and go to the city to burn some food and grass, then it will be a real sin.
"Mr. Zhang, my heart is a little unsure as my young master leaves!" Wu Xiangyou sighed.
Zhang Ju and Wu Xiang are different. They were promoted to the commander who relied on naturalized military achievements a year ago, so his temperament became more resolute.
Zhang Ju replied: "Since the young master handed over Guihua City to me, we should stick to it and not consider anything else!"
Then, Zhang Ju said, "I will be willing to take this life even if I have suffered the great kindness of my son!"
Zhang Ju said this, and even more so in his heart. He was a person with great ambitions, but unfortunately, because he came from a poor family and went through a lot of hardships, he became a lieutenant.
This journey took him nearly ten years, almost Zhang Ju's golden age.
Just when Zhang Ju thought that his position as a captain was over, Wei Wuji came to Guihua City, and Zhang Ju became the commander.
This kind of support is hard to repay for Zhang Ju, so he is even more looking forward to the next battle to make great contributions to repay Wei Wuji.
"It is our duty to be loyal to the young master after being taught!" Wu Xiangyou also said solemnly.
And in Guihua City, there are many people who have the same thoughts as Wu Xiang and Zhang Ju. Wei Wuji promoted many people here, and these people are grateful.
"Let's go, we should also go upstairs to see what the Huns outside are, and whether they have old friends from before!" Zhang Ju sneered.
A few years ago, his brothers suffered heavy casualties and injuries, but now that the Huns are attacking again, he will naturally have to avenge the arrow.
Wu Xiang nodded, then stood up with Zhang Ju and walked slowly up the city tower.
Seeing a dark patch in the distance, Zhang Ju immediately ordered people to wind the few crossbows.
Seeing that Wu Xiang had something to do, he was not calm and immediately asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you?"
Zhang Ju said, "Shoot a few arrows first and teach those bastards outside a lesson!"
Wu Xiang wanted to say that this might anger the Huns, but he still held it back and saying this would only make everyone on the gatehouse abandon it.
So, just as the Huns were yelling outside, they were immediately shot by dozens of arrows shot from the naturalized city walls.
All the people shot by the big crossbow were taken away for two or three meters, and then they could not die again.
The people in front of the Huns suddenly retreated. After all, no one wanted to die just like this, let alone die so miserably.
"Don't panic, don't be confused!" Zheyuda shouted.
At the same time, he asked the entire army to retreat 300 steps, which was already outside the range of the Wei army's crossbow.
"The people of Wei are hateful!" Zheyuda cursed.
"Sir, what should we do? Why not siege the city immediately?" A thousand-man said angrily.
But Zheyuda was obviously not overwhelmed by the anger. Now their troops are only 10,000, which is not enough to surround naturalization.
If the Wei army finds a weak point and strikes hard, the Huns who have suffered heavy losses will not be worth the loss, and this is also a responsibility that Suddenly Mu cannot bear.
"Today's test of the troops has been completed, it's time for us to go back!" Suddenly, Mu said with a dark face.
Although the commanders under their command were unwilling to accept it, they had to execute the orders of the silence, so they could only return their own troops.
But at this moment, a scout reported that a large number of Wei troops were coming here.
What we are talking about is coming here, which means that the Wei army came to them.
Fortunately, the Huns' scouts were not too useless, otherwise the news they received was the Wei army rushing over, and they would be in danger if that were the case.
"How many people are coming?" Zheyuda asked. If the number of Wei soldiers exceeds 5,000, then he would directly order his troops to retreat with all their might.
If there are less than 5,000 people, then Zheyuda is not so scared. He has about 4,000 people in his own army. Although the people from the vassal tribe are not good at fighting, they can still fight with the Wei army. After all, they have more than 10,000 people.
The scout's answer made Zheyuda very happy, because the scout's answer was about less than four thousand.
Zheyuda was more confident of a battle with four thousand people. Even if he could not defeat the Wei army by only ten thousand people, it would be no problem to escape.
