Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 147 Fusu Miscalculated

Chapter 147 Fusu Miscalculated

On the road from Xianyang to Longxi, there was a lot of traffic. Since Lintao was captured by the Huns, a large number of people fled to Xianyang with their families.

Compared with usual, today's Xianyang Lingzhang Han is really so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat.

The Eldest Prince Fusu has already announced that as long as the people of Qin Kingdom come from Longxi, the state government must find a way to resettle them.

If there were only two or three thousand people, Zhang Han would not be afraid.

But now more than a thousand fleeing people from the state of Qin are accepted every day, and all the vacant places around Xianyang are given to the refugees as residences.He has to take care of their food and drink every day, because the entry of these refugees has deteriorated the law and order in Xianyang City, and the thieves are everywhere, which makes him burnt out.

Fortunately, the treasury of the state of Qin is full, and some people can't afford to eat.In order to rectify law and order, Zhang Han mobilized the young and strong of these refugees to join the team of building fortifications and city walls.

Those who refused to obey discipline and took the lead in making trouble were all secretly executed by Zhang Han.

Although this move violated Qin law, who cares about it when the country is in crisis.

Standing on the city tower, looking from a distance, Fusu's eyes were full of sorrow.

Since the fall of Lintao, most of the land in Longxi has been ravaged by the Xiongnu cavalry.Although Xiao Wengzhong had already led the army to block the progress of the Xiongnu's iron cavalry, after several fierce battles, the enemy was outnumbered, and the morale of the defeated soldiers was low, they all ended in defeat.

But his efforts were not in vain. At least the Huns' advance slowed down, buying some time for the Qin army.

"My lord, the garrisons in Hedong County and Sanchuan County have all arrived, with a total of more than [-] people." Feng Jie reported.

"What about the armies of the other three counties?"

"Nanyang's army is still two days away, and it may take a while for Shangdang and Yingchuan's troops."

"It's not enough, it's too late." Fusu's confidence was slightly compromised.

"Although part of the Xiongnu army has been lost, there are still at least 20 people. If we insist on defending, our Qin army will naturally not be afraid of them, but I don't want to see my land in Guanzhong being ravaged by Hu cavalry. Therefore, attacking is the best way. Method. In a head-to-head confrontation, with our 13 soldiers, the chance of winning is very slim."

The people present also fell silent.

They all knew very well that if there were elites in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor in the Lantian camp, they would have the guts to fight for only [-] yuan.

But the [-] troops are either injured or not well-repaired, or they are old logistics soldiers.Using such soldiers to fight the Huns like tigers and wolves is simply to die in vain.

"Young master, I think it is better to stick to Xianyang. When the troops from all over the Central Plains arrive, they will be the elites of His Majesty's attack on Chu. As long as they arrive, I am sure that I can defeat the Xiongnu cavalry outside Xianyang city." Meng Yi Arched his hands and said.

Looking at the swearing Meng Yi, Fusu seemed to find some confidence in his heart again, and nodded: "Your Honor is here."

"Jijiu Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together."

Looking at the people in front of him chanting this old saying in unison, a trace of grief and anger appeared on Fusu's face.

Qin has strong men, so why be afraid of barbarians.

At this moment, a scout flew over and stopped at the foot of the city.

"My lord, the Northland Emergency Report."

"Submit it quickly." Meng Yi gave an order, and the scout trotted all the way up the tower, untied a letter from his waist and handed it to Meng Yi.

Meng Yi quickly opened the bamboo slips and was stunned for a moment. The joy on his face was instantly wiped away, followed by a trace of solemnity.

Seeing his change, Fusu next to him took the letter and read it.

Anyuan fell, and the Xiongnu came eastward, less than 150 miles away from Xianyang.

Anyuan is a small town from Beidi County to Xianyang. Although its location is not obvious, it is the starting point of the road from Xianyang to Beidi County.

From here, you can reach various cities in the Northland.

The Huns now occupy Anyuan, and they only need to follow Anyuan all the way to the southeast, which is equivalent to getting on the highway.

What is even more dangerous is that in order to deal with the Huns, Fusu placed some of its heavy troops in Yongcheng and Liyang. Now Xianyang's defenders are actually only 3, and more than [-] of the [-] came from afar. To help soldiers and horses.

Before the battle even started, the strength of the two sides in the battle changed from one to two at the beginning to one to four.

"What should we do? Could it be that the defenders of Yongcheng and Liyang were quickly mobilized back to the defense?" Fusu's face was full of panic.

On the other hand, Meng Yi Li Si and the others calmed down.

In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Qin State, even if the six countries united, they still could not conquer the city of Xianyang.Unexpectedly, the little Xiongnu actually attacked the capital in one go.This humiliation made each of them exhausted.

If they don't win, they are destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame forever in this life.

"Don't panic, my lord. It's too late to mobilize the defenders of Liyang and Yongcheng. If you encounter Huns on the way to mobilize and fight in the field, the casualties will be even more serious. Rather than this, it's better to stick to the city as a backup. The Huns come to attack Xianyang. They are in the rear of the Huns, even if they are incapable of fighting, they can still make the Huns take precautions and reduce the pressure on Xianyang." Li Si analyzed.

"The prime minister is right, you must not transfer troops." Meng Yi also agreed.

Looking at the crowd, Fu Su nodded and asked again: "Then shall we just wait for the enemy to come?"

Li Si remonstrated: "Although there are only [-] defenders in the city, there are more than [-] people, merchants, and the families of the original six kings in Xianyang City. As long as we mobilize these people to defend the city together, we will definitely be able to stop the Huns."

"Business travel is okay for common people, but what about the families of the six kings?" Fusu was a little worried. After all, these people were all sworn enemies of the Ying clan. Now that they saw their enemies suffer a great loss, how could they help them.

"At the moment of life and death, if the city breaks down, they will not escape death. I will go to persuade them, please rest assured, my lord." Yao Jia replied confidently.

Fusu looked at Yao Jia and gave an order: "Okay, Tingwei will be responsible for this matter full-time. We must persuade the families of the six kings to join the team defending the city."
