overbearing

Chapter 131

The lieutenant had also asked the civilians who had fled here before, and he could give a general answer at this time, and he also called two other people to come for questioning.

These people did not really meet the Huns, and there were not many things they could ask.All he knew was that overnight the town was besieged by strange and fierce-looking Huns. They were from a nearby village and did not live in the town, so they had the opportunity to escape to Hanzhou.

However, these Xiongnu are somewhat different from the rumored image of eating human flesh raw. They massacred the city without entering the city. Utensils, all of them.Those who were arrested also heard that the Xiongnu made conditions to Yantong, and they could be released in the end.

The person who was called in for questioning still had lingering fears when he said this, with an expression of rejoicing for his survival after a catastrophe.Zhou Jirong raised his eyes and glanced at him, and saw that this man was a man in his thirties, although he was not a strong figure, he was still a man, but he cowered here like a frightened quail.

Zhou Jirong pursed his lips slightly, but didn't say anything, and waved him down.

He didn't like this kind of appearance that only knew how to escape. Anyway, Yantong is also a place where gangsters emerge in endlessly, and there are also many thugs. These are the people who dare to go up to unarmed passing merchants and travelers with two kitchen knives. However, when they met someone who was more murderous than them, they became shrinking turtles one by one.

But right now this is not the main problem, the Xiongnu is uncharacteristically not killing people like hemp, but knows to hold these human lives in the palm of his hand as a bargaining chip. Although Yan Huan can't be called a woman's benevolence, it is bound to be difficult for such a situation. Will cast a mouse.

He was depressed, but the lieutenant thought of something else. He frowned and said, "I'm afraid that there are some people in Miaotong City colluding with the Xiongnu..."

Zhou Jirong has a lot of them, of course there are spies, there must be quite a few, otherwise he has blocked commerce and trade here for so many years, but the Huns still have salt and tea to drink. If these things flow from the Central Plains to the grassland, all of them will Hanzhou and Yantong are two places, in addition to paying a high price to exchange from the rest of the border people, but the number is limited.There is no way for him to come here, but he can still come from there!once upon a time

It's just that it doesn't help to think about these things at this time. Solving the immediate problem is the key.

Zhou Jirong called together a group of confidant guards and the lieutenant general who defended the city, discussed together, and carefully arranged the defensive situation in various places.

Originally, according to Zhou Jirong's temperament, it was not his style to sit on the sidelines and wait for a rabbit. At this time, rushing to help is more in line with his wishes.However, the mountain road between the two places is rugged, and there are refugees congested at this time, making it difficult to pass.As for going from other places, it is not impossible to go around.However, the journey was extremely long, and by the time they drove to Mianzhang from Hanzhou, this period of time was long enough for the opponent to retreat calmly, and the day lily was cold.

In fact, Zhou Jirong had a vague feeling that maybe the daylilies were already cold by now.The 20 soldiers of the Xiongnu have been entrenched at the border. Originally, they only came to harass one or two from time to time, but now they seem to be stalking, and to a certain extent, they have restrained Hanzhou's troops.

In such a situation, Zhou Jirong didn't even have to scold his mother, he had to understand the situation in Yantong first, and then make a plan on whether to attack or defend next.

That night, he stayed in Bai Tingyu's courtyard city and had nothing to say all night.

Early in the morning of the second day, news came from the cavalry post wandering outside the city that a group of Hun cavalry was coming from the direction of Mianzhang.

For Zhou Jirong, any movement from the other party is better than no movement, and this news is what he wished for.Of course he would not wait for the opponent's soldiers to approach the city, and led a group of troops out of the city immediately.This group of Huns consisted of only 4000 to [-] people, but they were all cavalry. Obviously, they were not planning to attack the city. They just meandered along the foot of the mountain from a distance, and it seemed that they planned to penetrate the deep grassland along the border.

The two sides met each other from a distance, maintaining a vigilant distance from each other and putting on a defensive posture.

With a cold face, Zhou Jirong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the other party.This team of Huns did not come up to fight like before, but pushed out a row of women, children and children to block the front, and then put knives on these people's necks one after another. Quite a few, looking around, there are almost 2000 people.

The women and children who were pushed out had seen such a scene, and they couldn't help screaming and crying for a while, and the other party screamed out their throats in such a background sound.

Everyone has lived in Hanzhou for a long time and has dealt with the Xiongnu for many years. Even if they can't communicate freely, they can still understand a few general sentences.

I heard from the other party that if they don't kill these people, they can release them all, but they can't release them in vain. They have to exchange some food and let them go back to the grassland through the border.

Shouted it twice.With a light kick from Zhou Jirong's foot, Mantou trot forward two steps and came out more and more.Zhou Jirong had no expression on his face, he drew the bowstring fully and just shot an arrow.

Ordinarily, both sides were out of range of each other at this time, and the person shouting did not expect that an arrow would fly towards them, and before he could prevent it, it pierced through his mouth and came out of the back of his head, and immediately fell down and died.

Only then did Zhou Jirong give a piss, and said in a low voice with a cold face: "Excuse me!"

At this time, someone on the other side had recognized him. There was silence at first, but the reaction was not slow. They dragged out two hostages who were standing in front of the formation. It had already rolled to the ground, and immediately caused people to cry in fright.

Zhou Jirong's face was gloomy, the back of his hand holding the arched body was slightly tightened, and he couldn't help but exert a little force on his feet. Mantou thought that he had received an order from his master, and he was about to run with all his strength.However, at this moment, a hand stretched out from the side, and quickly grabbed the rein.

If Mantou was allowed to run away, the guards behind him couldn't let Zhou Jirong rush over alone, they would have to step forward to protect them, and if they moved here, the whole army would have to press down, and they would have to fight if they didn't want to. The lives of the hostages in the other party's hands could not be saved.

At this time, Bai Tingyu didn't care about overstepping or overstepping, stopped Mantou from rushing forward, and hurriedly shouted to the other side: "I don't understand! Come up with someone who speaks human language! We can discuss it later!"

The Xiongnu came from the good side, and the leader of the team discussed a few words, and sure enough, another person came up, this time speaking Chinese with a somewhat strange accent, saying that since the young prince is here, there is no need for food, just Let them pass through the excuse, and the hostages will naturally be returned.If Zhou Jirong refuses, at worst, they will kill all these women and children, and then they will fight to the death. No matter what, they can make enough money!
