I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

The Mobei plateau is still covered with ice and snow. Zhang He has traveled thousands of miles in the past half month, first pacified Shuocheng, and then went north to kill the Quartet, driving the Xiongnu cavalry all the way to the north.

In the past half month, Zhang He has made a fortune again, capturing thousands of Huns, five hundred war horses, and countless cattle and sheep.

"Speed ​​up, Shanwu City is a hundred miles ahead, we must rush back to Shanwu City as night falls."

Zhang He gave the order, and [-] cavalry began to attack in an instant.

Chapter 92

To the west of Shanwu City, on the barren snowfield, two lonely people rode slowly on war horses.

At this time, a large number of Hun cavalry appeared on the distant horizon.

"God of the Grassland bless me, Touman finally escaped from the devil's lair!"

Touman Shanyu looked at the Hun cavalry who were rushing towards him, fell off his horse, knelt on the ground, and bowed to the gods of the grassland.

"Woooooo... Ben Shanyu finally escaped..."

After half a month of raiding, I fled all the way from Yanmen Pass to Yunzhong County. I ate up all the dried meat I was carrying. In order to survive, I ate snow when I was thirsty, and ate some grass roots from under the snow when I was hungry.

Because of the reflection from the ice and snow, his eyes and that of the "expert" were almost blind, and they were as swollen as a monkey's buttocks.

Coupled with the biting cold, the two of them could hardly hold on anymore.

If they don't meet the cavalry on the prairie again, the two of them will probably have to confess in this desolate ice and snow.

The exorcist also fell off his horse, and his whole body was stiff, but luckily, he hid some dried meat, and when Touman wasn't paying attention, he ate a little bit. He wasn't hungry, but he was cold.

"Da Chanyu, we are finally saved."

Touman turned around and hugged the exorcist, burst into tears of grievance, and walked through the gate of hell. At this moment, the rest of his life could not bear it anymore.

In fact, the exorcist was even more wronged, Zhang He, the dog, why did Mao send himself to suffer this crime?

He also really wanted to cry with Tou Man Shanyu, but he played the image of a "high man", how could a high man cry?

Resisting tears from falling down his eyes, he said, "Shanyu, your people are here, don't cry, let them give us food and drink... I am almost starving to death."

Tou Manchanyu touched his cracked cheeks, tidied up his distressed appearance, and when the cavalry approached, he immediately shouted: "Your part, I am Tou Manchanyu..."

This part of the cavalry is the subordinates of King Youxian, the king of the Huns, and they have just come out of Yunzhong City, and they want to support Pingcheng (Datong).

From Pingcheng, a group of master rangers came from the south, and killed the big households stationed in Pingcheng (equivalent to the Qin army marquis, who governed thousands of people.).

(The Shanyu had the greatest power within the Xiongnu, and he was in charge of the military and government. Under the Shanyu, he was divided into left and right wise kings, and the left and right wise kings assisted the Shanyu to maintain the rule.)

(Left and right wise kings are divided into: left and right Guli kings, left and right generals, left and right captains, left and right big households, left and right Guduhou, commanders of thousands, commanders of hundreds, and commanders of tens.)

The leader of this cavalry army is a member of King Youxian's powerful family. When he saw Touman Shanyu, he was dumbfounded and thought he was delusional.

But after getting closer, it was indeed Touman Chanyu, because Touman Shanyu often came to inspect the Youxian King's residence, and he had seen many faces. Once, Da Shanyu praised him as the most powerful warrior on the grassland.

But according to the information they received, Touman Shanyu had swept the entire Yanmen County with his pro-army, and after robbing Shuo County, he went to attack the Yanmen Pass of the Qin people.

Why did they appear here, and there were only two of them.

"Quick, it's really Da Shanyu..."

Da Danghu rode his horse and galloped, quickly came to Touman, jumped off his horse, knelt down in front of Touman and said: "Youxian King's subordinate Da Danghu has seen Da Shanyu."

"You are a subordinate of King Youxian, where is King Youxian now?"

When Touman heard that this powerful householder was a subordinate of King Youxian, he hurriedly asked, if King Youxian was in Yanmen County, it would be a disaster, and he would definitely be killed by that demon.

He is really afraid of Qin people's insidiousness!

The [-] army, he escaped alone, if he died in battle, he would not be aggrieved, mainly because he was trapped in the valley, freezing to death and starving to death.

Da Danghu said: "Da Shanyu, King Zuoxian is in Wuyuan County, and King Youxian is still in Yunzhong County. We were sent by King Youxian to go to Pingcheng to support King Youguli."

"Hurry up, hurry up and inform King Guli, quickly retreat back, and retreat towards the direction of Yunzhong..."

The big boss didn't know why, but looking at the big Shanyu, he seemed to be in a mess, maybe he was defeated.

Hurry up and send someone to go to Pingcheng to inform Guli King Da Shanyu of the military order.

Touman Chanyu and the exorcist ate the rations of the Huns cavalry, drank some wine, and finally recovered.

Under the escort of the cavalry, the two finally headed safely towards Cloud City.

On the way, Da Duhu finally found out that Da Shanyu encountered the main force of the Qin army in the south and was completely defeated.

The guard army led by Da Shanyu escaped alone, and it was the Central Plains expert who followed him who rescued Da Shanyu.

The big household couldn't believe it at all. They swept across the three northern counties. It can be said that they were devastated. They robbed countless treasures and food. How could they lose on the way south?

But he was just a big banker, and he didn't dare to ask Shan Yu why.

……

Shanwucheng direction.

Zhang He led [-] cavalry, rushed to the dark city, and finally arrived at the city of Zhishanwu in Yanmen County.

When Wang Wenyi, the prefect of Shanwu City, saw the Daqin black armored cavalry, he knelt on the top of the city and burst into tears.

"Saved, finally saved, our Daqin cavalry is here..."

Since the defeat of the garrison in Yanmen County in the north, 1 of the 5000 people died in battle, and the remaining [-] people fled to Shanwu City with some ordinary people.

Relying on the high and solid city walls, and all the people are soldiers, Shanwu City was defended again and again, and the Huns didn't want to waste time here, so they went south to attack Shuo County.

But there are still some Xiongnu cavalry left here, harassing the vicinity all day long, they can only stick to it and dare not attack.

There was not much food in the city, and with the addition of a group of ordinary people, food became a big problem.

In about ten days, the food and grass in Shanwu City had bottomed out, so he could only implement military control and distribute food, but just like that, the food was gone, everyone was hungry for two days, and the phenomenon of changing children for food had already occurred in the city .

But even so, Wang Wenyi still insisted on defending the city. He told the soldiers that even if the entire city was dead, the last living person would never open the city gate and surrender.

I would rather burn Shanwu City with a fire than leave it to the Huns.

"Quick, get ready to open the city gate, it's our Great Qin cavalry coming!"

On the city wall, everyone stood up slowly, looking at the Qin army rushing towards them in the distance, everyone had a smile on their faces, and they hugged each other and cried bitterly for the rest of their lives.

When Zhang He and others arrived at the bottom of the city tower, Zhang He also breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the Great Qin flag was still erected on the city. Fortunately, Shanwu City was not captured by the Huns.

"Quickly open the city gate, I am Zhang He, the master of the Great Qin Dynasty, and I am here to help Shanwu."

Wang Wenyi looked at the Daqin cavalry who were close at hand, and shouted happily: "Quickly, open the city gate quickly, reinforcements are coming!"

The city gate opened, and Zhang He led ten thousand cavalrymen directly into the city.

It's just that after Zhang He entered the city and saw the scene in the city, his whole body was not well.

The corpses of ordinary people can be seen everywhere on the street, and groups of ordinary people in ragged clothes are surrounded by the fire, looking at Zhang He and others with dull eyes.

"Zhang Shangqing, there is no food left in the city, and the remaining food is reserved for the soldiers defending the city and the young and strong..."

"The common people haven't seen a single grain of corn for seven or eight days. They... they all rely on eating... some eat dirt and are stuffed to death, and some are sick and have no cure..."

Zhang He had a cold face, he knew that Wang Wenyi was right, because once the city fell, more people would die, but Zhang He was very angry.

"Zhang Shangqing, I can't help it. I would rather let me starve to death, but I am dead, and no one will command the army and civilians to defend the city..."

"It's useless, it's useless..."

As Wang Wenyi spoke, he wept bitterly.

"Come on, quickly collect all the rations for the army, Wang Wenyi, right? How many people are there in the city now?"

"About 3 people!"

Zhang He knew that with the rations of [-] troops, he might only last for one day.

"Qin Zhong, inform the logistics team, I don't care what method they use, I will see the food and grass in a day's time."

"Kill all our wounded horses, and let everyone in the city have a mouthful of soup!"

Anyway, those wounded war horses are no longer needed in battle. This time Zhang He snatched so many war horses.

Could it be that only the Huns are allowed to rob, and the people of Daqin are not allowed to rob?

"Zhang Shangqing, you are the savior of Shanwucheng, I, Wang Wenyi, kowtow to you!"

Hearing Zhang He's military order, Wang Wenyi immediately knelt on the ground and cried.

Zhang He quickly helped Wang Wenyi up: "Master Wang, what are you doing? Shan Wucheng is like this. I have a considerable responsibility. If I had come a day earlier, perhaps fewer people would have died."

After the military order was issued, the people who were still alive in the whole city were very happy, they could finally live.

Zhang He asked the army to station in the city. After all, it was too dangerous outside the city. Once the Huns cavalry attacked unexpectedly, it would be troublesome.

Then, Zhang He sent a large number of scouts to patrol within ten miles. Once there were Huns, he would immediately lead the army to attack. The Huns must have food and grass.

In this way, after Zhang He guarded Shanwu City for two days, the logistics force finally sent the food and grass to Shanwu.

It's just that this batch of food and grass is still too little, and it's not enough to feed everyone for half a month.

At this time, the scouts also sent information that there was a Hun cavalry force of about 5000 in the northeast of Shanwu City, coming towards them.

What made Zhang He even more excited was that these Huns brought a lot of food and grass.

Of course, there are also the women and children of Zhao land they robbed.

Chapter 93 Use the Huns as a whetstone to temper a real cavalry

"Everyone, please see that there are only two roads to go from Pingcheng (Datong) to Yunzhongcheng (today's south of Tuoketuo County)."

"One is to go north from Pingcheng, pass through Zhuwenze (Daihai), and then go south to Yunzhong City."

"The other one is from Pingcheng to the west, passing through Shanwu City, and then going out of Tianxian Killing Tiger's Mouth to reach Yunzhong City."

"The Xiongnu cavalry of more than 5000 people happened to be coming from the second road, heading towards Shanwu City where we were, and they wanted to go out from the Killing Tiger's Mouth."

"Everyone, please look to the west of Shanwu City. This is a wide and narrow basin. The only exit is the Killing Tiger's Pass. The Huns are arrogant and did not garrison such natural dangers as Killing the Tiger's Pass."

"Qin Zhong, you lead five thousand cavalry, set off immediately, and guard the killing tiger's mouth."

"The rest of them will stay in Shanwu City with someone, and when the Huns enter the narrow and long basin, they will immediately attack from both sides."

All the soldiers immediately agreed. It seems that many Huns and horses will be captured in this battle.

It's cool to work with the army!

But Zhang He was still worried. Yesterday the scouts found the code left by the exorcist, which said that he and Tou Manchanyu had gone to Yunzhong County.

When Touman arrived in Yunzhong, he would definitely send a large army to meet the Hun cavalry, because Touman knew that the Qin people had already gone north to destroy them.

Zhang He pondered for a moment: "Where is Li Xin, is there any news?"

"There is no news." Qin Wei said.

Zhang He glanced at the map, and immediately said: "Let someone hurry up and go to Yunzhongdi (now Huaiyuan City), Li Xin should be in Yunzhongdi by now."

"Order Li Xin, leave Pingcheng in the north alone and approach Shanwucheng."

……

Li Xin and Zhang He divided into two groups in Shuo County. He went in the direction of Shanyin County, went north to recover Shanyin, and then headed for Yunzhongdi (now Huaiyuan City) according to Zhang He's deployment.

Along the way, they encountered countless Hun cavalry, big and small, but faced with the [-] crossbowmen of the Great Qin, they were shot and killed within range before the Hun cavalry approached.

Later, the Xiongnu soldiers learned how to behave. When they saw the Daqin infantry, they turned around and ran as far as they could.

They went north from a large number of Qin troops, and they also realized that Touman Chanyu's army might be gone.

In this way, Li Xin led the army to Yunzhong Land and stationed there, waiting for Zhang He's military order.

Because further north is Pingcheng (Datong). According to the news from the scouts, there are about 1 Huns stationed in Pingcheng.

But at this moment, Zhang He's military order finally arrived at Yunzhong Land. Zhang He asked Li Xin to leave [-] infantry and [-] crossbowmen to guard Yunzhong Land to prevent the northern Pingcheng Huns from going south.

Then, lead the remaining [-] infantry and [-] crossbowmen, and immediately move in the direction of Shanwu in order to support Shanwu City.

Li Xin left the garrison Qin army, and with the rest of the army, immediately marched towards Shanwu to support Zhang He.
