"Commander, these Huns soldiers have a lot of gold and silver on them." When cleaning the battlefield, some soldiers soon discovered something.
"You really need money rather than your life. Come here, gather all this gold and silver, bury it first, mark it, and notify the army behind to pick it up." Feng Xun laughed. He would not let the soldiers take this away.
Carrying something with you will only affect the forward speed, which is one of the taboos of cavalry.
The corpses and the battlefield were quickly dealt with. As for some of the Hun cavalry who were seriously injured but not dead, they found out with one sword that the Shanshan Guards did not bring so much medicine. They could not heal anyone, so they gave them a happy life.
After quickly clearing the battlefield and burying the gold and silver, the army continued to advance, and under the guidance of the birds in the sky, continued to pursue the Hun cavalry in the direction in which they had fled.
The Shanshan Guards advanced lightly. After dawn, Feng Xun ordered everyone to eat all the dry food they brought, and they chased after them in high spirits. In contrast, the Huns were not able to do so.
You can't throw away your silver even if you're beaten to death. I'm afraid this is an example of wanting money rather than your life.
With these things in hand, his speed was not much faster, and he was almost caught up twice. Huang Jili also asked Landaotu for instructions and sent two more cavalrymen with a total of three thousand.
Stopping the Shanshan Guard behind him.
As a result, there are only 10,000 Hun cavalry remaining with Landautu.
Fortunately, the three cavalry sent out more or less fulfilled the mission of slowing down the pursuit of the Shanshan Guards. After one day and two nights of escaping, they finally saw the hope of survival in Secret City.
Originally this was just a larger village, with a population of only two to three hundred people. However, because of its geographical location close to the official road, it was finally selected by Tang Qingshan, who was Emperor Qianwen at the time, and expanded.
After a lot of busy work, the city was built, the population moved, and the army was stationed. Although the area was not very large, it became a small barrier to the north of Daliang City.
, especially after they followed the example of the Great Chinese Army and dug many trenches, this place became known as Xiao Pingcheng, responsible for the tranquility of the north of Daqian.
Huo Yang, who was originally the commander of ten thousand soldiers of Daqian Silver Armor, is now the general guarding the city of Mi, with an army of 30,000 people under his command, including a cavalry team of 3,000 people.
Huo Yang's mission is to firmly guard this place and prevent anyone from threatening the safety of Daliang City. If necessary, he can send people to Daliang City for help at any time. With this powerful backer, his little
Life was pretty good.
Speaking of which, Huo Yang is not young at all. He is over 50 years old. From the perspective of civil servants, this is the time when he is wise and scheming. However, he is a bit too old among military generals. The most suitable position for him is to serve in the Ministry of War.
Take a job to support your retirement.
But Da Gan is no longer as powerful as it was before. The original generals were running away, escaping, and defecting to others. There really are no suitable generals anymore, so they can't live up to their age of half a century.
He also has to do the errands of the general who defends the city.
But the good thing is that Huo Yang is in good health. He can eat several kilograms of meat and drink several bowls of wine in one meal. In addition, his main opponent, the Great Chinese Army, is now targeting foreigners.
Who comes to trouble him, so he usually doesn't have to worry about many things. It was just a few months ago when the Huns army passed here that he became a little nervous.
I still remember that day, the Xiongnu army, which numbered more than 700,000 people, was so vast that it was impossible to see the end of the troops. They walked for several days before they passed the secret city. During this period, Huo Yang's heart was hanging. He was even worried about what he would do if the Huns suddenly stopped leaving and wanted to occupy the secret city.
For this matter, he also sent a special request to Tang Jia, the current Qiande Emperor, but the answer he got was that he must hold it no matter what, and he could not give up the northern barrier that was finally built to others. Otherwise, Huo Yang He is the sinner of the whole Daqian.
Throughout the article, this and that are not allowed, but there is not a single mention of sending reinforcements when the situation is not good. This made Huo Yang very angry. This is clearly to let the horse run away, but not to let the horse run. Just eat grass.
Thinking about it after getting angry, Huo Yang could also understand that the Xiongnu army was so powerful that if they really fell out with them, with the current strength of Dagan, they would definitely hit a lose-lose enemy. This is not what Dagan needs now. It was the wisest choice for the Xiongnu army to go north and fight with the Chinese army, and watch the tigers fight from the top of the mountain.
Even if he couldn't fall out with the Huns, but he didn't want them to take away the city he had finally built, all the important tasks were handed over to Huo Yang. In this way, even if there was any fight between them, it would only be Huo Yang's. If Yang had the upper hand in personal matters, it would be easy to say, and this would naturally be the result of the imperial court. If the Huns really wanted to raise an army to investigate, they would have to hand this over.
For this reason, Huo Yang's family and clan members all stayed in Daliang City, making it clear that if you disobey, your family and clan members will die.
During that period of time, Huo Yang could be said to have been thinking too much, fearing that the Huns would bring up the idea of occupying Mi City. In fact, they did show their intention, but Huo Yang directly rejected it. And the Huns seemed to just Asked, there is no real intention to quarrel with Da Gan. After all, they are about to face the powerful enemy of the Dahua Army, and it is really not suitable to cause trouble with other forces.
Huo Yang finally defended Mi City. After watching all the Xiongnu troops pass through Mi City, he immediately ordered the city gates to be closed. It was obvious that the God of Plague had sent away and no longer wanted to deal with him.
But the good times had only been a few months, and I never thought that trouble would come soon. In the morning, a large group of cavalry came from the north gate of Mi City. From a distance, they were full of heads and moving bodies. of black spots.
The soldiers at the city gate were frightened by this formation, and quickly reported to Huo Yang, who had just had breakfast and was still patrolling the military camp. His expression changed, and he led his generals to the north gate. , in this moment, the black spots on the opposite side have been infinitely enlarged, and are about to appear under the tower.
As the distance got closer, I finally saw the identity of the other party. There was no doubt that it was the Xiongnu army. As for the number of people, it was about ten thousand horses.
Huo Yang, who just wanted to prevent others from troubling him, never thought of troubling anyone else, did not even send people to understand the war in the north, because for him, no matter who wins the There is no benefit to him, he just needs to guard the secret city.
Because he didn't know anything about it, Huo Yang naturally didn't know the purpose of these Huns cavalry who appeared under the city.
"What are they doing here? Are they planning to invade Secret City?" Huo Yang's first reaction was that someone was trying to cheat him.
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
"General, the Huns cavalry will be here soon. What should we do?" The other generals under his command also had different thoughts. Most of them were worried that the Huns would take advantage of them, and if the secret city was lost, they would probably
None of them will have a good life. You know, their families are also being monitored in Daliang City.
"Don't worry, let's take a look first. In short, anyone who wants to attack the secret city has no idea. They only have 10,000 cavalry and no siege weapons. We have 30,000 soldiers. Do we still need to be afraid of them?" Huo
Yang Sheng was afraid that the army would be in chaos before the battle, so he spoke in advance to comfort everyone.
"Yes, yes, we have 30,000 people, and the other side only has 10,000 people. Don't be afraid of them." The generals were also encouraged at the moment, and they all nodded. But judging from their frowns,
Actually, I'm still very nervous.
While everyone on the city was still thinking differently, the Hun cavalry below the city had arrived. Huang Jili sent a centurion with a loud voice to approach the city and shouted loudly. "People on the city tower, listen,
We are envoys sent by the King of the Huns. We have something important to see your emperor. Please let us pass now. Don’t worry, we will not enter the city, but will just pass by the city gate."
The voice of the visitor was indeed quite loud, which ensured that his voice reached the top of the tower. After repeating it twice to ensure that the people on the tower could hear it very clearly, he stopped talking and then looked up.
Standing on top of the city tower, waiting for the response from the army.
It should be said that the Huns did not make excessive demands, nor did they show any intention of occupying the secret city. Perhaps they also knew that with their current strength, they would not be able to hold it even if they occupied it.
They just wanted to use the road to leave and stay away from the pursuit of the Shanshan Guards, that's all.
This small request is not difficult for Landaotu or Huang Jili. In fact, if they can just pass by both sides of the city without saying hello, they must not be able to hurt themselves much without being prepared.
people.
But the problem is that they only have these 10,000 cavalry in their hands. This is their base. No one wants to lose anything unless necessary, so they have to say hello first.
The Huns below the city were still waiting for a reply, so Huo Yang discussed with his generals what to do.
It's just a way to use it. They just agree to Huo Yang's wishes. Besides, they also said that they want to discuss important matters with His Majesty, so he shouldn't stop them. After all, his mission is to guard the secret city.
Just don't lose it.
He probably expressed his opinion, and originally thought that it would be passed quickly. But a general below said something, which made Huo Yang's face change drastically and he had to change his mind.
"General, do you think this is a strategy of the Huns? They know that there are 30,000 defenders in our city, and if they attack by force, they will pay a high price, so they sent out 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard.
The purpose is to cut off our connection with Daliang City after we pass through Mi City. In that case, we will no longer get a little bit of assistance from the rear. In this case, Mi City will be left empty-handed.
Once the attack is defeated, the Huns can take our place without a single blow."
