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

Chapter 433 Who else is there

Chapter 440 Who else is there

Looking at the Xiongnu cavalry of at least 5 people who bypassed Jicheng City and divided into five groups and rushed towards Youbeiping, Yuyang, and Liaodong, the generals of the Jiuyuan Army at all levels calmed down on the city wall suddenly had a big expression on their faces. Change.

Today, there are a total of 25 troops in Liaodong.Among them, the [-] Liaodong Army led by Li Xin was stationed in Yuyang.

As for the 15 original army, in addition to the 10 people in Jicheng at this moment, that is, the 1 partial division led by Meng Tian, ​​and the other scattered soldiers stationed in various cities are more than [-] people.

Although the Qin army is indeed good at fighting and well-equipped, but there are too many Huns, it is okay to fight with one enemy and two, but it is difficult to fight with one enemy and three.

What's more, the number of Huns rushing out is basically close to one to ten.

The most important thing is that the imperial court ordered the Jiuyuan Army to drag the Hun army under the city of Jicheng.

The main reason is that there are basically not many regular Daqin counties stationed in the vast land of Liaodong.Except for the Jiuyuan Army and the Liaodong Army stationed in Jicheng, the dozens of counties on the northern frontier of the Great Qin Dynasty can be said to be extremely empty. undefended place.

The reason why the Huns were held back was because they were worried that Maodun would choose to go around the city and plunder other counties in Liaodong because Jicheng was strong and difficult to attack.

In that case, even if the Huns could be successfully repelled this time, the entire northern frontier of Great Qin would basically be in ruins.

It seems now.The empire's worst fears have clearly come true.

After only one siege of the city, Maodun chose not to attack the city, and sent the Huns cavalry to bypass Jiuyuan City and go deep into the interior of Daqin to plunder.

"It's broken!" The tens of thousands of Hun cavalry clapped and shouted after seeing the billowing dust and galloping away.

With his loud cry, the Jiuyuan Army and other people standing beside him were startled.

Nobody is a fool.You're not blind either, do you need to yell like that?
"General! Your Majesty ordered us to drag the Xiongnu army under Jicheng, but now the Huns bypass Jicheng where our army is stationed, and it seems that they are going to enter Yuyang and Youbeiping counties. What should we do? ?”

"General, don't let the last general lead the army out of the city to fight the Huns. As long as he wins the battle, the Huns will definitely withdraw all the troops sent out." Another general said.

The rest of the generals were also talking about it, but most of them advocated going out of the city to fight the Huns.

After all, facing the army of the Huns, Daqin had never lost.

Facing the 50 Xiongnu army, none of the original army felt worried or timid.

He is well aware of the combat power of the Jiuyuan Army, but the Huns are not the Huns at that time.It was able to destroy both the Yuezhi and Donghu, who were far more powerful than the Xiongnu, within a few months. Even Touman could not do it when the Xiongnu was completely victorious.

However, today's Huns are Shanyu.That Mao Dun who killed his father and seized power not only did it, but it was also extremely easy.

"That Maodun is not an ordinary person. His move is not only to plunder my Great Qin, but also to tempt me to go out of the city to fight him. Now there are only more than 6 troops in the city. If we go out of the city to fight the Huns, Jiuyuan City will definitely leave a lot of 8 people guarding the city, or even 50 people. There are at most [-] to [-] soldiers who leave the city. But there are nearly [-] Huns outside the city."

"It is expected that Maodun is waiting for me to go out of the city to fight him. Once I go out of the city, even if I can break out, I will definitely not be able to return to Jicheng. Tens of thousands of soldiers will have to spend too much just to enter the city. An hour before leaving the city, if at that time, the Xiongnu took the opportunity to attack. The city is in danger. And the actions of Maodu outside the city just now must have been seen by the generals. The Huns at this time are very different from before. .”

Everyone fell silent.

"Then general, should we stick to Jicheng and let the Huns plunder Liaodong and other places?" It was still the first general who spoke, but he was obviously impatient at the moment.

Everyone knows what will happen if the tens of thousands of Huns passing by the city are allowed to enter several counties in Liaodong.

No one can bear the emperor's blame.What's more, when was the Jiuyuan Army afraid of encountering the Huns?Not to mention shrinking into the city and not getting out.

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Then he said with a serious expression: "This battle has already been prepared. It would be even more unwise if I messed up my position at this time and disrupted the plans of Your Majesty and the General!"

Hearing his words, more than a dozen generals of the Jiuyuan Army on the city wall were silent. Are they really going to watch the Huns enter Liaodong?

"Yuyang has General Li Xin and the [-] Liaodong army, so there must be no worries. The general also has [-] soldiers in Liaodong. Even if the Huns want to plunder, they will not be able to arrive in a short time, so the generals must obey orders. , we must keep the main force of the Xiongnu in Jicheng."

"The end will obey orders!"

Hearing that there was an arrangement, the faces of more than a dozen generals of the Nine Plains Army suddenly softened, and they all responded in a solemn voice.

Mao Dun really wanted to lure the snake out of the hole. He didn't believe that the Jiuyuan Army would allow foreigners like himself to enter the hinterland of the Great Qin to plunder the Qin people at will.He withdrew his troops and stopped attacking, just to let the Jiuyuan army in the city go out to fight, or send troops to break through the encirclement to rescue Yuyang and other places.

It is naturally impossible for the Jiuyuan army to go out of the city and return to the city.The Jiuyuan army went out of the city to fight against him. Even if they sent troops to break through the siege and rush to help other cities, it could greatly weaken the power of the city defenders and greatly reduce the pressure of the Huns to attack the city.

The setting sun is gradually setting in the west.

The last ray of light shone on Jicheng. If it weren't for the corpses all over the city wall and the blood-stained ground, it would have been a beautiful sunset.

However, his 5 people had already circled the city for several hours until it was dark, and Mao Dun did not see any movement of the Nine Plains Army in the city.If it weren't for the densely packed soldiers of the Qin army standing on the top of the city, Maodun would even have thought it was an empty city.

Don't the people of Qin really care about the life and death of the rest of the Qin people?Or did the Qin people have other plans?

A sense of irritability suddenly appeared in Mao Dun's heart for no reason.It seems like something bad is about to happen.However, he couldn't figure out what bad things would happen.

Most of the Jiuyuan Army has been besieged in this city, who else can threaten his hundreds of thousands of troops?
Unless, the Qin people have reinforcements coming.

Mao Dun suddenly rose up.

He already understood what he was worried about and why he was upset.

It's true that the Jiuyuan Army is now besieged in the city, but it doesn't mean that the Qin people can't send reinforcements from other places to help.

"Go, bring me that Qin man."

Not long after, a submissive Qin man was brought in front of Mao Dun.

Mao Dun looked at the poor worm-like man in front of him and asked, "Tell me, who else in Liaodong can rescue Jicheng?"

This Qin man was originally a businessman who wandered around the border and smuggled all year round. He was forced to join the Xiongnu. One hundred thousand Qin troops."

Mao Dun got a little impatient, drew out his saber and pointed at the guy in front of him, "I know Yuyang has Li Xin's [-] troops, besides that? Who else can come?"

The Qin man was suddenly a little confused, because he really couldn't answer this question.
