No one thought that such a thing would happen, whether it was the people from Zhaonan County who were on the defensive side, or the Xiongnu soldiers who were on the attacking side.

It was precisely because no one thought that there would be thieves who dared to touch the enemy's camp at this time to steal chickens and dogs, and the guards of the camp were empty, which made the sneak attack of these thieves successful.

When the Xiongnu soldiers discovered this, most of the equipment in the camp had already been stolen, and more than [-] horses tied to the rear had also been stolen, and they could not be chased back.

If it was just that, it would be fine, but in order to create chaos and escape conveniently, these thieves even set fire to the grain and grass camp, which made the Xiongnu army who were not rich in food and grass even worse!

Diao Ye was about to go mad with anger, and ordered the culprits beheaded on the spot when they were caught, and no one would be left alive.

But even though they had a large number of people and reacted quickly, after all, the timing was so short, they were still mostly escaped by those arrogant thieves in the end.

The Xiongnu soldiers originally wanted to vent their anger on the captured thieves, but instead of being afraid of the cold sword in their hands, these thieves all went to death generously with a smile on their faces.

What's even more creepy is that after being stabbed in the chest by a knife and gun, they still shouted "Fight for Yanhuang" with all their strength, and then fell to the ground with their heads spurting blood, as if they were some kind of horrible ritual.

Because of this unreasonable scene, even if the Xiongnu soldiers killed these thieves, they didn't feel happy at all. Instead, they were overwhelmed by the opponent's aura, which made them extremely embarrassed.

Looking at the lying corpses, Diao Ye frowned deeply.

Although he doesn't read much, he also knows that the "Yanhuang" in this group of people refers to Yandi and Huangdi, the ancestors of the Han nationality.

The word "Yanhuang" refers to the tribes of the Central Plains since ancient times. Fighting for Yanhuang is fighting for the nation. Knowing this, he felt that these people were even more terrifying.

In his eyes, the Wei people are all cowardly and cowardly. When there will be such a warrior who is not afraid of death, it is really shocking!

But in this way, the identities of this group of people must not be ordinary horse thieves. They are probably the same as the lunatics who harassed the army before, and they are all dead soldiers sent by the Wei people.

"Bury them alive!" Diao Ye ordered, he would not vent his anger on the dead.

·

Having learned the lesson from this attack on the camp, Diao Ye would set aside at least a hundred people to guard the camp every time he attacked the city.

Sure enough, there were a few more raids by people and horses, but it was no longer for stealing horses, but a group of people gathered around and killed a few of their guards, leaving a few corpses as cover, and the rest left immediately.

Although this reckless way of killing eight hundred enemies and harming one thousand made the Huns disgusted and fearful, they kept their tents anyway, and no more incidents of food and grass being burned occurred.

However, due to the constant consideration of the situation in the rear, in the subsequent several siege battles, the Xiongnu felt as if their body was wrapped in an invisible net, and they became a little restrained, and even the progress of the siege also followed. was delayed.

Two days later, the Xunyang rescue team finally arrived in Zhaonan County.

·

Through the forum, I learned that the Huns cavalry had been entrenched outside the north gate of Zhaonan County. After discussing with Bu Jingyun, Jiang Shu and Bu Jingyun agreed that it was best not to encounter the Huns head-on, so the two led the team to detour to the south gate.

This journey took a few more hours, and when we arrived outside the south gate, the sky had completely darkened.

There was also a soldier at the south gate. Jiang Shu ordered Jiang Ke's letter to be delivered to the guards. About a quarter of an hour later, the gate opened, and several guards held torches and surrounded one person out of the gate to greet him.

At this time, Jiang Shu's carriage had already moved from the end of the team to the head of the team.

Seeing this, he opened the curtain and got out of the car with the help of a boy servant.

Passing through the steps that opened the way, I saw a young man in a gorgeous purple dress standing in the center of the brightly lit place ahead.

He wears a jade crown on his head, silk shoes on his feet, and agate jade ornaments and a purple gauze sachet around his waist. Even at night, his whole person exudes a noble brilliance like pearls and jade.

Jiang Shu immediately recognized the person, it was Cui Jingsheng, the honest and virtuous son of the Cui family in Xiangjun that he described.

When Cui Ming saw Jiang Shu, he cupped his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Jiang Yan, to personally escort food, fodder and military equipment to help. Cui thanked you all on behalf of the Zhaonan people."

"The county respects words, and this is what I do." Jiang Shu first saluted, and then said: "This place is not a place for conversation, please open the city gate first, and let the convoy enter."

"What Jiang Yan said is true, everyone please."

After the convoy entered the city, all the food, fodder and military supplies were sent to the government treasury by carts, and the county soldiers and the migrant workers who escorted the supplies were also taken to their respective residences. As for Jiang Shu, he brought Bu Jingyun into the county government office. Ming discussed the strategy of defending the city against the enemy.

"To be honest, most of the military equipment in the warehouse has been consumed in the two-day battle to defend the city. Fortunately, Jiang Yan came in time. If he came a few days later, the city gate might not be able to defend."

In the back hall of the government office, after taking his seat, Cui Ming told Jiang Shu the truth without reservation.

For the past few days, in order to stabilize people's hearts, as the county magistrate, no matter how anxious he was, he could not show the slightest bit. Now that he saw someone from Xunyang, he seemed to have finally found a savior, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"The county lord has been working hard recently." Facing the supporting characters with names and surnames in his novel, Jiang Shu inevitably felt a bit like an old father, and comforted him: "The military equipment and food fodder sent by Xunyang this time are very sufficient, enough to support the county for more than two months , the county lord can rest assured."

Cui Ming nodded, suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, there is something very strange. I don't know if Jiang Yan knows the reason."

"Please tell me, the county lord."

"There was another party involved in this battle of defending the city. They would sneak up on the Hulu camp when the Hulu was attacking, and once even burned the food and grass camp of the Huns. Does Jiang Yan know who did those things?"

It's an evil player——Jiang Shu answered silently in her heart.

"I have also heard what the county lord said. If my guess is correct, they should all come from a patriotic organization that has sprung up recently, called the Yanhuang Association."

"Yanhuang Guild?"

"That's right," Jiang Shu nodded, half-truthfully said, "Most of the members of this guild are border refugees from the north whose homes have been invaded. They hate the Hu people and want to take revenge regardless of life and death. Therefore, they spontaneously established a non-governmental anti-Hu organization. , support one person as the president, and often use guerrilla and sneak attacks to disrupt the pace of the Hu tribe's attack."

Cui Ming suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder they raided the Huns' tents again and again."

Then he sighed softly and sighed with emotion: "There are very few soldiers lost in defending the city for two days, and it is thanks to these brave men who sacrificed their lives for righteousness!"

Standing behind Jiang Shu, Bu Jingyun moved his lips, but stopped talking.

If the players are brave, they are really brave, but if they sacrifice their lives for righteousness, even Bu Jingyun can't stand it.

Everyone is just trying to steal heads and equipment. You know, the Xiongnu horses stolen by the Yanhuang Guild are now being auctioned for sky-high prices in the forum!

Jiang Shu took a sip of the tea soup, and changed the subject calmly: "I haven't introduced it to Brother Cui yet, but the person behind me is the commander-in-chief of the [-] county soldiers this time. I want to discuss some strategies with Brother Cui."

"Oh?" Cui Ming raised his eyebrows, and immediately asked his servants to bring over another cushion: "I was so negligent just now, please sit down and discuss in detail."

Bu Jingyun nodded, took a seat next to Jiang Shu, and said straight to the point: "Although the equipment is sufficient this time, I don't think blindly defending is not the best strategy."

Cui Ming: "What do you mean by that?"

"The total number of Xiongnu soldiers who attacked the city was 5000. After several days of consumption, there are only more than [-] people left. To attack the city, this number is definitely not enough. The Xiongnu themselves should know it well."

Bu Jingyun analyzed the form without haste and said: "Jiang Yan said that they originally planned to launch a quick attack on Zhaonan County before the news of Miyang City's destruction reached Yanqiao, but now the plan has obviously been destroyed. Zhaonan County is not only fully prepared to defend the city, but now it is waiting for reinforcements from Xunyang, so let me ask the county lord, how will the enemy react when they know they cannot capture the city?"

Cui Ming frowned, and tentatively replied, "Withdraw troops?"

Bu Jingyun didn't nod or shake his head, and continued: "There are two possibilities. One, if the Huns withdraw their troops after hearing the news tomorrow, it means that they are going to give up attacking Zhaonan temporarily, and then Bai Lanxing will increase its troops again in a short time. Instantly.

"Second, if the Xiongnu stopped attacking the city tomorrow, but did not withdraw their troops, it means that they are going to ask for help. After about seven and a half months, County Magistrate Cui will see tens of thousands of troops approaching the city and attack Zhaonan County."

Cui Ming frowned, resisting only a few thousand Xiongnu, they already felt very strenuous, if faced with an army of tens of thousands, this small county might not be able to survive for three days.

Worried about his future safety, he humbly asked: "Bu Banzhu thinks, how should we deal with the difference between the two?"

"Whether it's the first or the second, I suggest that we take the initiative to attack and keep these four thousand Hun soldiers here completely before the Huns withdraw or ask for support from the army!"

Bu Jingyunshi said something shocking, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea of ​​fighting four thousand cavalry with one thousand soldiers.

Cui Ming inhaled slightly, shook his head and said, "There are many enemies and we are few, this plan is quite risky."

"As long as the plan is thorough and the strategy is appropriate, it is not difficult to win more with less." Bu Jingyun continued to persuade.

Cui Ming glanced at Jiang Shu, saw that he didn't express anything, then looked again at Bu Jingyun, who had an upright and reliable face, and said simply, "Whatever Bu Banzhu thinks, you might as well just say it."

Bu Jingyun smiled slightly, and then said: "Before talking about the battle strategy, let me introduce the weapons we brought this time to Xianzun, and some of them are newly developed weapons..."

Jiang Shu ate tea without saying a word, quietly listening to Bu Jingyun explain his battle plan to Cui Ming.

Looking at Cui Ming's surprised expression, he seemed to see himself a day ago.

In fact, Bu Jingyun had even more crazy ideas that he didn't mention. It was a trivial matter to leave these [-] Hun soldiers behind. What he wanted to do next was the truly earth-shattering thing.

Regarding the current situation Yanqiao is facing, Jiang Shu has analyzed it with Bu Jingyun on the way. Originally, he wanted to hear the big man talk about the strategy of defending the city, but after listening to it, the other party only gave one sentence: "In this situation right now, we can't defend by defending, we can only rely on grabbing and snatching."

Jiang Shu was surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what the other party said was very reasonable.

From the map, when attacking Yanqiao from the north, one must either attack from Miyang, Xingjun, and go straight to Zhaonan County, or attack from Duanmen County, and pass through Bailanxing.

Bailanxing is a dangerous pass, once it is lost, it will be difficult to regain it, so there is absolutely no room for loss, but in this way, the army led by Xun Ling will be restrained there and cannot move.

But now that Miryang has been captured, Yanqiao County has already had a big gap, as long as the Huns' army is in charge, Zhaonan County will be destroyed sooner or later.

Now, no matter how you look at it, there is only one way for them to break the situation, and that is to take back Miryang and Xingjun!

What Bu Jingyun wanted to do was exactly this matter.
