Chapter 77 The Battle of Jinyang (13)
Since ancient times, those who bully the lower class will definitely be charming, and Diaoqu is no exception. Diaoqu is covered in ferocious face and suddenly turns into a flattering smile. He tries his best to adjust his ugly face and show respect and respect.
"General... Oh no, what the king said is! The villain is guilty! The villain is wrong!" He bowed deeply and said repeatedly. At the same time, his mind turned sharply, considering whether to kiss the young man's boots to show respect.
The young man didn't even look at the Diaoqu, but just stared at the Jiekuo battlefield in the bloody battle in the distance. From here, countless soldiers strangled like ants, with flags dancing and killing sounds shook the sky. After watching for a while, he waved casually and said, "Just know your mistake. You have nothing to do here, get out."
"Yes, the villain retreated..." Diaoqunan bent down and retreated until he was more than ten feet away, and then turned around and left in a row.
"Is there a leader among you guys?" The young man didn't take the Diaoqu seriously at all, and instead asked the soldiers around him.
The dusty Li Jingzhi had been helped up by several soldiers and slapped the floating soil on his armor. He took a few steps and saluted respectfully, "The brave general Li Jingzhi, pay homage to the king. Thank you for your help."
Li Jingzhi naturally didn't know this noble man. However, he had some knowledge in the Huns' army for several years. Seeing that the young man was dressed in luxury, the followers behind him were all full of fierce expressions. Among them were four tall and majestic giants, with ferocious faces and lightning eyes. Obviously, they were all warriors who could compete with a hundred people... Those who could get such followers must be the famous king of the Huns!
Furthermore, how fierce and rude Diaoqun is? But when he saw this noble man, he was so humble that he was so proud that this person had more than a noble person, and he could only describe him as being noble. Such a great Hun nobleman was in front of him, and he was just a Han officer and had to flatter him carefully. Fortunately, he had stopped Diaoqun's violent behavior just now, and it seemed that he was a reasonable person.
Li Jingzhi searched for the dry intestines. Among the great Hun nobles he remembered, there was no similar appearance to this young man. But he heard that in addition to the two sons of Zuo Xianwang Liu He and Zuo Guli Wang Liu Cong, the two sons who were leaning against each other, there were also three sons Liu Yu, Liu Long and Liu Yi. Among them, Liu Yi was the most favored, and his age was also equivalent to this young man...
The young Xiongnu people never thought that Li Jingzhi had so many plans. Seeing this guy with a bruised nose and swollen face claiming to be a brave general, his face muscles twitched clearly, and he looked at Li Jingzhi up and down, "Are you actually a general? Or is it a brave general? Are you sure you are a brave general?"
The despised look almost said directly: You are a weak person, who is worthy of leading the army.
Li Jingzhi could only be silent. He studied military books since he was a child and honed his martial arts skills. He thought he could only make achievements. How could he be willing to be humiliated? However, the fate spread and became a soldier of the Huns and Han countries. It should be noted that in the Huns, almost no one took the Han people who surrendered to him seriously. The only ones who truly trusted the Huns were the Huns themselves, and the Han people were just pastoral livestock to be slaughtered. Even if they were senior military officers like generals, they could not change their destiny. There was no other way to go except for patience.
Otherwise, what can it be? Li Ling surrendered to the Huns out of helplessness. Who has ever given him a chance to turn back?
When the young Huns saw Li Jingzhi silent, he seemed a little bored. He raised the horse whip and pointed to Jie Xiucheng and said, "I want to go over there and take a look, you are here to lead the way!"
Li Jingzhi bowed his head and said, "Yes! Please follow me, the king." He waved his hand and asked his soldiers to continue digging the soil, leading the young Huns and his entourage cavalry to the direction of Jiexiu City.
According to the plans of the Huns, a long encirclement, two trenches, and several large-scale camps were built around Jiexiu. At this moment, a considerable number of soldiers were running around, but it seemed that the efficiency was not very high.
The young Huns suddenly urged the horse to go hand in hand with Li Jingzhi, frowned and said, "Why are you, these useless things?"
Li Jingzhi smiled bitterly and said, "The king doesn't know what it is. He has attacked repeatedly for several days. Because the enemy general Lu Chang was able to defend his troops, our army suffered a lot of losses. Therefore, General Huyan sent an order to build a camp and think it would be a long-term solution."
The young Huns walked slowly, nodded thoughtfully, and then talked about the battle situation a few days ago, and carefully investigated and asked about various related situations. The nobles Li Jingzhi came into contact with were very vulgar and had a rough personality, and were as thoughtful as this young man and very fluent in Chinese. He did not dare to slack off and answered one by one.
After all, Li Jingzhi was a real general, and there were quite a few people who knew him along the way. In addition to the fierce and violent people like Diaoqunan, ordinary soldiers in the army respected him quite respected him. Seeing that he had a careful conversation with the Hun chief, there were more than a dozen well-clad cavalry guards following him, so no one dared to disturb him and let him go all the way.
After a while, they were already standing on the side of the innermost trench and approaching the city. At this time, another wave of offensive was set, and about hundreds of soldiers retreated like a retreat. It seemed that several consecutive failures had a great impact on the morale of the siege troops. This time the attack did not use much force, and it was mainly made up of various pieces of manipulation.
Although these mixed Hu soldiers were brave in fighting, they lacked military discipline and had almost no resilience to fight. The Huns regarded them as the main force of the siege, and the nature of harassment was very obvious. When they gathered under the city, they were subjected to violent arrow rains from Jiexiu's defenders. When they approached the city, the rolling wood and stone fell like raindrops, causing considerable casualties.
When several Hu warriors who were particularly brave and rushed to the front were killed by strong bows and crossbows that emerged from time to time in the city. The rest of them were unable to even climb to the top of the city and retreated under the city.
The young people of the Xiongnu and Li Jingzhi clearly saw that there were actually all the fierce soldiers in these troops who were killed by suicide and killed several times. However, facing Jie Xiucheng's unmoved defense, many soldiers actually lost their fighting spirit. The Xiongnu's supervising team quickly dispatched, rushed to the ranks of defeated soldiers, dragged out a few unlucky ghosts to kill them, and then drove them to reorganize the team.
"Lu Chang does have some ability to defend the city." The young Huns cursed with a smile.
Li Jingzhi couldn't help but sigh: "Liu Kun, the new governor of Bingzhou, is different from Sima Teng, and his subordinates are quite famous. The Lu Chang, who guards Jiexiu in front of him, is just an ordinary young general. If he fights with the Jinyang army, it will be even more difficult..."
The young Huns looked at Li Jingzhi in surprise.
Li Jingzhi suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake. How could he praise the Jin people in front of the Huns for their bravery and good fighting? Isn’t this a death? He quickly got off the horse and knelt down, and said repeatedly: “I will make a mistake! I will make a mistake!”
The young people of the Huns did not care much about themselves, and gently tapped Li Jingzhi's shoulder with the tip of the whip: "What you said is the right reason, there is nothing wrong with it. Get up!"
"Yes! Yes! Although the Jin army has a little bit of a character, the power of our Han Kingdom will definitely become a powder!" Li Jingzhi felt that he was sweating all over, and quickly praised the Huns for a balance.
The young Hun nodded absent-mindedly and looked at the battlefield.
As the siege troops retreated one after another, a brief calm appeared in the battlefield. The surrounding area of Jiexiu City was five miles away, except for the corpses stacked like dead leaves and the wreckage of siege equipment. The young Huns were distracted and suddenly shook the silk reins and drove the horse forward. His subordinates looked at each other and followed one after another.
Li Jingzhi hurriedly stopped him and said, "King, the Jin people have the advantage of bows and crossbows. If you go further, there may be something wrong."
The young man pulled his horse and beat him for half a circle, turned his head and looked at Li Jingzhi deeply, suddenly blinked, and smiled proudly. The entourage cavalry who had been following him solemnly also burst into laughter. They laughed very happily, but Li Jingzhi felt that something was wrong.
"Hahaha, haha, thank you for the reminder!" Amid the laughter, the young man took off his luxurious fur, threw the belt of gold-clad jade on the ground. Finally, he took off the golden eagle crown he wore, put it on his index finger and turned it around twice, and suddenly threw it into Li Jingzhi's arms.
This golden crown is made of pure gold, with pearls and jade treasures embedded on it, which is quite heavy. Li Jingzhi felt that his hands and feet were cold and could hardly catch them.
"Clothes and belts are nothing. This golden crown is the treasure of the deer king Liu Jing. Be careful to hold it firmly! The defeated general escaped from Jinyang last year and didn't even care about taking the crown. I'm kind-hearted and sent it to him! Haha! Hahaha!" The young man laughed to the sky and was full of energy. He ignored Li Jingzhi, and ran to Jiexiu City with his legs and his legs.
The more than ten cavalrymen who followed him ran wildly, their iron hooves stirring up smoke and dust, as if a gray dragon rose up against the ground.
On the top of Jiexiu's city, Lu Chang was saying to his subordinates: "As for reinforcements... the lord must have arrangements." Before he finished speaking, he heard a roar of shock and anger among the Huns camps in the distance.
Everyone hurriedly looked out of the city, and saw a team of cavalry crossing the trench and speeding towards the city. A young man in the lead shouted happily at the top of the city: "Old Lu! Old Lu! I, Ding Wenhao, are here to help the battle!"
Lu Chang's feet became weak and he almost sat down on the ground on the spot. Behind him, many soldiers were already cheering: "It's Ding Miao! General Ding Miao! General Ding Miao is here!"
The cheers in Jiexiu City were thunderous, and Ding Miaozhi raised his hands to the soldiers cheering on the city, as if he had received great praise.

Thank you all readers for watching, crabs are polite.
Several friends suggested that it would be better to update twice a day. Crab also knew that it would be really unhappy for everyone to watch it. I am really sorry for you.
A few days ago, I checked the manuscripts and suddenly became dissatisfied with some of the plots, so I cruelly deleted more than 55,000 words. I have worked hard to write the manuscripts these days, and finally I barely maintained the manuscripts at around 150,000 words. Crab has a weak knowledge and often needs to be revised repeatedly to write such historical texts. Therefore, if the manuscripts are insufficient, it will indeed affect the quality. The reason why I cannot persist in two updates a day is not to do anything, but it is not impossible. I would like to ask all readers to understand.
I sincerely accept readers’ criticism today and strive to add updates in the afternoon or evening to apologize.
Chapter completed!
