Chapter 176 Cloud City Besieged

On a defense line of the Great Wall bordering Xihe County in Wuyuan County, Zhang Yang's subordinate Xu Yingzheng led 5000 people to camp here. Xu Ying was in a bad mood because the Great Wall here had already collapsed and was not an important place for defense. What's more, the direction of the Southern Xiongnu's troops has always been in Taiyuan County, and he was sent here purely because Zhang Yang was annoyed by the many reports from the scouts.

Four days after arriving at the defense line here, Xu Ying ordered the soldiers to repair the Great Wall during the day and camped at night to rest as usual, and sent some scouts to patrol nearby every day, pretending to be.

Of course, Xu Ying was not idle, he would go out to see the restoration of the Great Wall sometimes, but he didn't care about the soldiers' fooling around, anyway, he was never worried about the invasion of the Southern Huns from the beginning to the end.

For the cavalry, the Great Wall is the strongest obstacle. Whether it is internal or external, the mobility of the cavalry will be greatly affected by the Great Wall. Therefore, the Great Wall has always been a thorn in the eyes of the grassland nomads.

It's a pity that Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling are too stupid, and the Great Wall has not been repaired for a long time, so that there are loopholes everywhere on the Great Wall, just like where Xu Ying is stationed, it is the biggest loophole in the Great Wall in Wuyuan County, which is a thousand meters long The distance, without a little barrier.

That night, Xu Ying's soldiers continued to set up camp to rest after fooling around with repairing the Great Wall, but he didn't know that this was the last rest for his army.

At nightfall, there was a violent vibration on the ground, and the guards of Xu Ying's barracks naturally heard such a strong vibration, but when they were about to report to the general, the cavalry of the Southern Huns had already arrived near the barracks.

"Kill" Yu Luofu pulled out the big knife from his waist and roared loudly.

As the Shan Yu of the Southern Huns, Yu Luofu fought bravely and rushed to the front. His sword had already swung at the guards of the barracks, and his horse had already stepped over the body of the guards, and he rushed towards the barracks with an indomitable momentum. go.

Under the stampede of tens of thousands of Hun cavalry, Xu Ying's barracks were completely flattened without causing any hindrance to the cavalry. Even the soldiers in charge of night patrol in the barracks were rushing to report the news while waking up the sleeping ones. Soldier.

A barracks consisting of 5000 men is not considered spacious, and it cannot accommodate the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, so in less than a quarter of an hour, Yuvro's cavalry team rushed to the barracks to disperse them.

When Xu Ying, who was in the middle tent, was woken up by the guards, most of Yu Fuluo's cavalry had already rushed into the barracks.

Under the impact of the cavalry, many sleeping soldiers lost their lives in their sleep. Even the soldiers who had woken up had no time to put on their armor and helmets at this moment. escape.

On the flat ground, if [-] cavalry can still make [-] infantry escape, then it is really a joke for the cavalry, not to mention, Yuvro still chose the cavalry to attack.

In just half an hour, the entire barracks was filled with blood, and even Xu Ying, even though he rode the horse brought by his personal guards, ran into Yu who was slaughtering before he could gallop out of the barracks. Fu Luo, the timid Xu Ying could only turn around and run away, but unexpectedly the horse was frightened and delayed arriving. When Xu Ying wanted to get off the horse and escape, a large knife was cut across his neck. When he reacted, his head was shot. I don't know where to fly to.

Most of the [-] infantry led by Xu Ying were killed or injured by the Huns cavalry charging back and forth. As for the soldiers who wanted to escape in the dark, they were eventually sniped by the cavalry on the outside.

"King Zuo Xian, how is the situation on your battlefield?" Yu Fuluo put away the big knife that was still dripping blood and asked Zuo Xian Wang who was walking.

"The leaders of the three tribes cooperated with me to kill all the soldiers who wanted to flee." Zuo Xianwang said respectfully.

"How about the loss?" Yu Fuluo asked again.

"Basically there is no loss. Some of these deserters don't even have weapons. When they saw our army, they were already frightened." Zuo Xianwang said, "By the way, Shan Yu, let the soldiers find another place to rest tonight." Well, the smell of blood is too strong here, and the soldiers can't sleep."

"That's right, in order to wipe out the enemy army tonight, we also waited a day and a night before we made a complete deployment. Our soldiers are not used to running around at night, so let's wait until dawn before setting off." Yu Fuluo said with a smile.

In order to capture Xu Ying's 5000 men, Yu Fuluo also checked the situation in advance. For the Southern Huns, the fewer Zhang Yang's soldiers, the better, so that when they besieged Yunzhong City, there would not be too many military assistance. Although these 5000 people seem to be small, when forming an army formation, even the Huns cavalry must be treated with caution.

In this battle, Yu Fuluo chose to attack at night. Although the Hun cavalry were not good at night fighting, the problem was not obvious due to the superiority in numbers. Therefore, the Hun cavalry only lost hundreds of people in this battle, which can be counted as one big win.

The next day, Yu Fuluo led [-] cavalry to Yunzhong City again, and now they have arrived in Wuyuan County, which is Zhang Yang's sphere of influence.

This means that the southern Xiongnu cavalry can no longer cover up their whereabouts as before, so as to obtain greater benefits. It is completely impossible for more than 3 cavalry not to be discovered by officials along the way, so Yu Fu Luo also didn't expect to arrive at Yunzhongcheng quietly, so he chose a road that arrived in Yunzhongcheng recently.

In order to prevent Zhang Yang in Yunzhong City from being aware of the arrival of the Southern Huns cavalry in the first place, and thus choose to abandon the city and flee, Yu Fuluo can only let his subordinates speed up their pace. Only when Zhang Yang is besieged in Yunzhong City can he complete the alliance agreement tasks in .

Zhang Yang, who was in Yunzhong City, hadn't realized the arrival of the Xiongnu army at this moment. Now he had just issued an order to Manbo County Magistrate to continue to pay close attention to the affairs between the imperial army and the Southern Xiongnu.

"Yang Feng, why did you say that the imperial army suddenly chose to attack the Tugehu tribe? I thought that the Southern Huns summoned troops to attack our tribe, but I didn't expect that they wanted to fight with the imperial army. It's really interesting." Zhang Yang smiled. Said that this incident happened too suddenly, and Zhang Yang only learned about it after receiving an urgent message from the local county magistrate.

"My subordinates don't quite understand the intentions of the imperial army, but I heard that although the leader of Tu Gehu is the Right Wise King of the Southern Huns, he was also the father-killing enemy of the current Southern Huns Chanyu, so although he is the Southern Huns tribe, but they did not obey the order of Shanyu the Southern Xiongnu." Yang Feng said that the information was not difficult to find out, so even Yang Feng, who had just defected to Zhang Yang, knew about it.

"No matter what the imperial army intends, it is right to strengthen the defense. I have just ordered Manbo county magistrate to pay close attention to the next movements of the imperial army." Zhang Yang said with a smile. For Zhang Yang, the imperial army and the Southern Huns are the most important It's easy to fight to the death, so that he can profit from the fisherman.

Two days later, the [-] cavalry of the Southern Huns, traveling day and night, finally arrived outside Yunzhong City.

"Siege the city." The Southern Huns Shanyu directly issued the order.

The army of the Southern Huns did not carry a large number of siege equipment when they set off, so it was impossible to take down Yunzhong City from the very beginning, but the Southern Huns still gave orders to attack the city.

Yu Fuluo was betting on whether his army could break into the city before the gate was closed when his army arrived outside Yunzhong City. Fu Luo also tried his best. After all, his task did not include taking down Cloud City, but it would be better to take down Cloud City.

Although the gate guards of Yunzhong City were surprised by the sudden arrival of the Southern Huns cavalry, they were well-trained people after all. The first moment they saw the Huns cavalry, they immediately went to the gate guards to issue orders. And asked the guards to stand on the drawbridge and close the city gates. As for the officials, merchants, and common people who were still outside the city, the city gate guards had no time to let them into the city.

The cavalry of the Southern Huns is very fast, but it is still not as fast as the closing speed of the city gate. This is also thanks to the more reliable guards at the south gate of Yunzhong City. If it is a little slower for a while, I am afraid that the Southern Huns will The cavalry had crossed the drawbridge and entered the city.

Once more than ten Southern Huns cavalry entered the city, the Yunzhong City Gate could no longer be closed, and the current Southern Huns cavalry could only look at the high suspension bridge, but there was nothing they could do.

As for the gate guards of the other three places in Yunzhong City, they also reacted early, and also closed the gate before the Southern Huns cavalry arrived at the gate. Since then, Yunzhong City has been completely disconnected from the outside world.

"My lord, it's not good, the cavalry of the Southern Huns are coming." After closing the gate, the guard of the south gate immediately ran to Zhang Yang's mansion.

"What, the Southern Huns cavalry didn't enter the city, did they?" Zhang Yang was so shocked that he even dropped the cake in his hand to the ground.

"No, my subordinates responded in a timely manner. When the Southern Huns cavalry were about to reach the suspension bridge, they had already pulled up the suspension bridge and closed the city gate." The guard of the southern city gate said quickly.

"Fortunately, what about the other three city gates?" Zhang Yang asked hastily.

"The subordinates don't know, but wait a minute, they will come to report the news." The guard at the south gate said with a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, soon, the guards of the other three city gates also arrived at Zhang Yang's mansion. After hearing that the other three city gates were also closed in time, Zhang Yang relaxed a bit. No matter what, at least the city is safe now .

In fact, Zhang Yang was a bit afraid. Although the Southern Huns' army was not very capable of attacking the city, once they were allowed to enter the city, whether the defenders with less than 2 people in the city would be able to block the attack of the Southern Huns' army, Zhang Yang had yet to know.

But now Zhang Yang can't care so much, he asked his guards to call Yang Feng, and then he and Yang Feng went to the city wall to see for themselves what happened to the Southern Huns royal court, why did they suddenly think of attacking the cloud? Midtown.

Outside the south city gate, the Southern Huns Shanyu was sending people to call for battle. For Yu Fuluo, attacking the city was impossible, and he didn't want [-] cavalry to be lost here.

"King Zuo Xian, you said that if we call this battle, will Zhang Yang come out to fight?" Yu Fuluo asked curiously, because this idea was proposed by Zuo Xian Wang.

"I won't come out to fight, because once Zhang Yang opens the city gate to fight, he will definitely lose," Zuo Xianwang said helplessly.

"Then you still asked me to send people to call for battle, wouldn't it be superfluous." Yu Fuluo said while staring at Zuo Xianwang.

"Chan Yu, since we have already come, are we going to return empty-handed? It is impossible for our army to enter the city, and Shan Yu has no intention of attacking the city, and Zhang Yang in the city is even more afraid to fight. In this case, we call War can damage the morale of the defenders in the city, although it is not beneficial to us, it is harmful to the city."

"During the ten days of the siege, let Zhang Yang be busy with calming the morale of the army in the city, and we can transfer some of our army to plunder the land in the cloud. Our soldiers have never been here before. So, a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and food are waiting for our soldiers to fetch." King Zuo Xian said with a smile.

"Good idea. This is really the first time that Ben Shanyu led his troops into Yunzhong County. If he didn't come and loot it, it would be a bit of a loss when he left." Yu Fuluo also said with a smile.

The greedy habits of the grassland nomads are fully reflected. Even without the request of the court, the Southern Huns royal court has completely offended Zhang Yang through this trick.

Of course, this is something.

At this moment, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng and others had already set foot on the south city wall, and fifty feet away from the south city wall, there were many Hun cavalry shouting towards the city wall.

"Come on, shoot an arrow." Zhang Yang said angrily. Hearing these harsh shouts, he was very unhappy, but he had no choice. I can only think of archery to deal with it.

"My lord, my subordinate has already had a round of shooting just now. Our bows and arrows cannot reach the position where these Hun cavalry are located, so even if they shoot arrows, there is no way." The guard of the south gate immediately responded.

"Could it be that we just watch the Huns cavalry keep shouting, but we can't do anything?" Zhang Yang said angrily, it's nothing if he can't get out of the city now, and he will be scolded by the Huns cavalry from his ancestors.

Yang Feng and the other guards looked at each other in blank dismay. Anyway, they were not the ones scolded by the Hun cavalry, so they didn't have much anger in their hearts.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that these battles are insignificant. The Xiongnu cavalry lacks enough siege equipment, so they can only force the lord to go out of the city to fight in this way. However, if the lord chooses to go out of the city to fight, it is really cheated by the Huns. After all They are all cavalry, and most of the city is dominated by infantry, so they are no match for the Huns cavalry, so it is correct to close the city gates and defend." Yang Feng said slowly.

"Then what should we do now?" Zhang Yang felt that what Yang Feng said was reasonable, so he calmed down.

"My lord, you should appease the guards and soldiers in the city first, and tell them that when the reinforcements arrive, the Hun cavalry will naturally choose to retreat. After all, the city is besieged, the Huns are fighting, and morale will drop. It is inevitable, but the Hun cavalry also Those who won't last long, at most today, will retreat on their own initiative." Yang Feng said firmly.

"Okay, then do as you say." Zhang Yang clapped his hands.
