Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

This is the so-called headquarters of the Huns.

Although he had never fought against the Huns before, as a leading general, the few days he had led the army northward was enough for Pang Nuan to investigate and gather enough information.

Except for the Lan clan that surrounded Yuanyang City, the other major tribes of the Xiongnu headquarters had all gathered outside Pingyin City.

It is precisely because of this that Pang Nuan is full of confidence today.

After thinking for a while, Pang Nuan asked the general in front of him, "Has it been discovered by the Huns?"

The general replied: "It has not been discovered by the Huns yet."

Pang Nuan asked again: "Are the Huns still attacking the city?"

"Yes."

"Good." Pang Nuan nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Immediately, you sent an order to order the whole army to advance at an accelerated pace. You must rush to the outside of Pingyin City before noon to defeat the Huns!"

That's right, Pang Nuan's idea is very simple, that is to use a clean and neat surprise attack to let this group of daring Huns know what will happen if they offend the northern overlord Zhao!

Chapter 241 The Confident Xiuli Shanyu (Second Update)

Just as Pang Nuan led his army to the south at a high speed, a massive siege battle was going on outside Pingyin City.

Numerous short Huns cavalry held ladders made of temporarily felled trees on the mountain, screaming and rushing towards the city wall of Pingyin City bravely.

The clothes of these Huns were all kinds of strange, and many of them were wearing Zhao Jun's armor and holding Zhao Jun's weapons. They were quite conspicuous and nondescript in the Huns' formation.

On the walls of Pingyin City, hundreds of archers from Zhao State have already made preparations.

"shoot!"

Countless arrows poured down from the walls of Pingyin City, shooting down the Huns one after another.

However, due to the scattered formation of the Huns, although these densely covered bows and arrows caused damage, their lethality was quite limited.

After a while, the Huns rushed under the tall city wall of Pingyin City. Amid the shouts of the Huns, more than a dozen ladders leaned against the top of the city one after another, and then the Huns soldiers began to move towards the city wall like ants. Climb on it.

On the city wall, the soldiers of Zhao State were condescending and kept shooting at the Huns below the city.

From time to time, the soldiers of Zhao State used their long spears to forcefully push away the ladder from the city, but occasionally some brave Hun warriors climbed all the way up and fought fiercely with the soldiers of Zhao State on the city wall.

Amidst the screams of killing, the death toll on both sides is rising sharply.

Just north of Pingyin City, there is a large-scale Hun cavalry phalanx with more than [-] people. In the center of the phalanx is the place where Huli Shanyu, the leader of the Huns, is now.

This Huli Shanyu looked about 40 years old, and he looked like a typical Hun. His eyes were shining brightly, and his face looked a bit sinister.

Of course, there was a reason why Huli Shanyu was in a bad mood.

"It's been eight full days, and they can't even take down a small Pingyin City. They're just a bunch of trash!"

As soon as Hugh Li Shanyu said these words, the faces of many Hun generals who rode their horses around Huli Shanyu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Xiuli Shanyu looked around and said with a sneer, "Why, are you still dissatisfied? You must know that there are only [-] Zhao soldiers stationed in Pingyin City, and the total number of residents inside is no more than [-]. More than [-]. But such a small city actually held back my Hun army for eight days!"

Huli Chanyu scolded all the Hun generals around him speechlessly.

Of course, not everyone listened to Huli Shanyu's scolding. A Hun general in his thirties who rode his horse and stood on the left of Huli Shanyu had a clear expression on his face. Not convinced.

Huli Shanyu obviously noticed the expression of the general of the Huns, and asked slowly, "Why, does Zuoxian Wang have any objections?"

Zuo Xianwang snorted twice, and said to Xiuli Shanyu: "I dare not. But in my opinion, the reason why I can't take this Pingyin City is not because the Huns warriors are not working hard enough, but because they are equipped. gap issue."

Huli Shanyu snorted, and said flatly, "Go on."

King Zuo Xian said, "Shanyu, these Zhao people are all wearing armor, and the longbows in their hands are at least eight stones, and the arrows can easily pierce through our bodies. But our warriors are only Wearing a leather jacket, the longbow in his hand is far inferior to that of the Zhao people, and even the arrows of the warriors are made of sharpened bones, the gap is too great."

Another Xiongnu general with bushy eyebrows also said: "Da Shanyu, this city is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. Why don't we continue going south to find other target villages."

This is the Right Wise King of the Huns.

One of these two virtuous kings is the leader of the Xubu clan, and the other is the leader of the Huyan clan. They are both the leaders of the big tribes among the Xiongnu after the Shuda clan, so they have the confidence to question Shanyu's decision.

This kind of question obviously made Xiuli Shanyu very upset. Hearing this, he sneered and said: "If this Pingyin City cannot be taken down, do you know what will happen to our Hun tribe? I can't go on!"

Zuo Xianwang said worriedly: "But if Zhao Guo's army comes to help, what should we do? I heard that Zhao Guo defeated Qin's million-strong army in Changping years ago!"

Xiu Li Shanyu laughed loudly, and said: "King Zuo Xian, I never imagined that you also fell into the tricks of the people of Zhao! Let me tell you, the army of Zhao is now fighting with the people of Qin in the Central Plains, so where is the time to pay attention to it?" This northern border?"

"Really?" The wise king left and right looked at Xiuli Shanyu with suspicion.

Huli Shanyu said confidently: "The king of Yiqu sent someone to report this matter to Ben Shanyu. It is absolutely true!"

"King Yiqu?" Zuo Xianwang was very surprised and said: "Isn't Yiqu already destroyed by the Qin State? I heard that even the two sons born to the old Yiqu King and the Queen Mother of Qin were killed by the Qin King Ji." killed!"

Xiuli Shanyu laughed and said: "Although Yiqu was destroyed by Qin's despicable means, the Yiqu people are also members of our nomadic people, so how can they be willing to live under the Qin people? Wait until Yueshi and Lin are defeated. Hu, Ben Shanyu is about to go south with his horse, and collect all the lands that belonged to our nomads, including the five northern counties of Zhao State and the upper counties of Qin State, into the hands of the Xiongnu!"

When Xiuli Shanyu said these words, he was full of impassioned spirit and high spirits, as if a bright future was in sight, and all Zhao and Qin could only kneel and tremble at the feet of Xiuli Shanyu

However, Hugh Li Shanyu's self-confidence is also justified. In recent years, the Xiongnu has gradually gained an advantage in the confrontation with the deadly enemy Yuezhi, showing its strong side.

In Xiuli Shanyu's plan, as long as enough food, grass and slaves are captured from the Zhao country, then next year they can launch a super-large-scale attack on the Yuezhi.

In Huli Shanyu's view, the power of the Xiongnu is just around the corner!

The fierce siege battle continued, and the casualties on both sides continued to increase, but it was clear that the casualties of the Huns were several times higher than those of Zhao's defenders.

The sun gradually climbed from the east to the very center of the sky, and it was noon.

At this time, a commander of the Xiongnu came hurriedly on horseback.

"Chan Yu, Zhao's army has been spotted twenty miles to the north!"

"What?" Xiuli Shanyu's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "This is impossible! How many Zhao troops are there?"

The commander replied: "I can't see clearly, there are about [-] to [-]."

Because Zhao Jun's marching team was very long, and the Xiongnu scouts did not dare to approach for investigation, so a misjudgment occurred.

"Twenty to thirty thousand people?" Huli Shanyu's face was cloudy and hesitant when he heard the news.

King Youxian hurriedly advised: "Shan Yu, there is still time to retreat now. The Zhao people don't have many cavalry, so they can't catch up with us."

These words seemed to have stimulated this Xiuli Chanyu.

Huli Shanyu snorted heavily, and said in a deep voice: "The warriors of the Huns never know what it means to fail and retreat! Let the warriors who attacked the city retreat first. Today, Ben Chanyu is going to let the people of Zhao go here. Ben Shanyu is amazing!"
