Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 739 Two-legged sheep

However, Yuan Tan's army arrived at the Great Wall not long after leaving Yunzhong.

Looking at the city defenses built by the first emperor, I couldn't help but sigh.

Although it was added and built during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after all, its basis is still the foundation of Qin Dynasty.

Yuan Tan was particularly shocked.

Think about how many famous generals in the Han Dynasty crossed here and attacked the Xiongnu outside the Great Wall.

At this moment, he didn't expect Yuan Tan to have the honor to do the same thing with him.

It was also silent for a while.

Seeing Yuan Tan lost his mind, Zhong Hui shook his head slightly and ordered everyone to set up camp here.

However, just as the camp was set up, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the city wall.

Hearing this, he knew that there was an army coming.

Yuan Tan's face was also heavy immediately, and he ordered the whole army to be on alert.

However, it didn't take long before a large number of Xiongnu enemy troops rushed outside the city wall.

Without Xianbei's restraint, the Xiongnu's march was also extremely fast.

This time outside the Great Wall, they immediately prepared the siege equipment.

Su Li also did not make any delays, and when the ordnance was ready, he immediately launched the first wave of attack on the same day.

This made Yuan Tan unable to react. Who knew that the Xiongnu was so anxious that they would attack the city directly without resting as soon as they arrived.

Therefore, I can't fix it on my side, and I can only bite the bullet and start a war.

In this regard, a tough battle is opened.

The Huns are not like the Xianbei, they are physically strong and extremely ferocious.

The weapons in his hands are also various, such as a mace, a machete, and he is desperate to kill on the city.

It is unknown how many people died under the ladder, but they did not have the slightest fear.

It is still blindly rushing.

In just one day, the death toll on both sides increased linearly.

It was not until the sky became slightly dark that the Xiongnu retreated.

In this battle, although the Xiongnu did not rush to the city wall, Yuan Tan felt particularly heartbroken.

After all, one-fifth of the 4 people brought in was lost in an instant.

This was the first day, how could Yuan Tan accept this.

So I feel that I can no longer be so passive.

It is because they want to have a frontal battle with the Xiongnu outside the city.

However, Zhong Hui immediately stopped him and said: "Lord, our army is far smaller in number than the enemy's. It is not suitable for frontal combat now."

Yuan Tan frowned and said, "Then you can't defend passively like this, the loss is too heavy."

Zhong Hui then said: "But you can't fight head-on. I think you can try a night attack this time. After all, the Huns marched too fast this time, and I'm afraid the logistics may not be ready."

When Yuan Tan heard it, he understood Zhong Hui's meaning, and said, "Shi Ji said he was going to destroy the enemy's food and grass?"

Zhong Hui then nodded and said: "Exactly, the [-] troops need food and grass for days, but this time the Xiongnu came here in a hurry, and judging from today's attack, they are a little anxious about convenience, so the problem is obvious. It’s because of the grain and grass, I just think I can try to destroy the grain and grass, maybe it will solve the current difficulty.”

Even Yuan Tan nodded, agreeing with Zhong Hui's statement.

Therefore, they ordered troops immediately, preparing to go out of the city tonight and sneak attack on the enemy camp.

So at night, they sneaked out of the Great Wall with more than a thousand people.

Yuan Tan was very knowledgeable about attacking camps, and this march was extremely concealed.

The Xiongnu army also did not expect that the Han army would dare to leave the city under such a disadvantaged situation.

That is, the defense is extremely lax.

Yuan Tan easily sneaked into the Xiongnu camp with a thousand people.

The camps of the Huns were mostly tents, and unlike the Han army, they would not build camps.

Moreover, all their food and grass were thrown behind the army, without any cover, and only some people were sent to guard it.

Therefore, Yuan Tan's thousand people easily killed these guards.

Then immediately took out the prepared kerosene.

Everyone immediately poured fire oil on it, and then ignited them all.

The grain and grass covered with kerosene immediately ignited a fire as high as two people.

Seeing that the plan was successful, Yuan Tan immediately called on everyone to retreat.

However, after Yuan Tan and others withdrew, the Xiongnu also discovered the abnormality of the grain and grass.

He came to check immediately, and when he found that the grain and grass were on fire, he immediately sounded the alarm.

The camp of the Huns was blown up, and many soldiers of the Huns didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they came out to put out the fire.

Su Li had been falling asleep at first, but now she was awakened by the noise outside, so she hurried out to check.

However, when they found that the grain and grass were on fire, they immediately became anxious.

This is the seven-day rations for his [-] troops.

At this moment, it was burned by fire. What should we do tomorrow?

Su Li also panicked.

The fire at this moment was already burning extremely violently, and it was already impossible to try to put out the fire.

Now I am afraid that there is not much military ration left.

At this moment, Su Li also sat on the ground as if she lost her soul.

It seems that I will withdraw my troops tomorrow.

However, a leader sent by the Huns also came at this moment.

Seeing Su Li in such a state, he asked, "What's the matter, Lord Su Li?"

Su Li said in despair: "It's over. All the food and grass are gone. Should we withdraw our troops tomorrow?"

The leader of the Xiongnu said: "Withdraw the army? Is it because of food and grass?"

Su Li didn't speak anymore at the moment, but he could tell the sadness on his face at the moment.

But the leader of the Xiongnu smiled and said: "I thought it was a big deal, Lord Su Li, don't worry, you will come to my tent tomorrow, I will treat you to something good."

However, Suli still has that leisurely mind at this moment, and at this moment, she is unable to extricate herself from that sadness.

That's it, Su Li didn't sleep all night, and at this moment her mind was a little unstable.

I don't know how I still remember the invitation of the leader of the Huns, but came to the leader's tent like a walking corpse.

However, at this moment, the leader was drinking happily there.

Su Li is still in the mood at the moment, thinking that the army is about to retreat, his heart is half cold.

However, today the leader was still drinking without worrying.

Su Li was not in the mood.

The leader of the Xiongnu then said: "Master Su Li is still worried about food and grass?"

Su Li glanced at the leader, then nodded.

The leader of the Xiongnu said: "It's just a trivial matter. In fact, I've been tired of eating some things. If it wasn't for helping you, my lord, I wouldn't care to eat those things."

Su Li then asked: "You don't want to eat these, what do you want to eat?"

The leader of the Huns said, "Have you ever eaten two-legged sheep?"

Su Li was stunned. He had seen a lot of sheep. When did they have two legs?

Seeing Su Li like this, the leader of the Huns was also amused.

It was to order someone to bring up the prepared meal.
