Your Majesty, please draw the card

Xue Huairen found an opportunity to propose a new battle plan to Yi Zhixie Shanyu again.There are only two points in this plan. The first point is to press the whole army, not to leave too many troops in Shuofang, and the second point is to pull out the nail of Yanmenguan.

Xue Huairen reckoned that the defenders at Yanmen Pass were at the end of their strength, and the reason why they were unable to attack was entirely because the tribe in charge of attacking Yanmen Pass on the side of the Huns saw that other tribes were looting everywhere and making a fortune, but he was stalemate here, It is possible to face Shan Yu's accusation, so he simply broke the can and threw it, and did not work hard.As long as there is an army of Shan Yu's direct line, the Yanmen Pass will be broken soon.

This idea of ​​Xue Huairen hit Yi Zhixie Shanyu in his arms.He had long wanted to incorporate those tribes that had been shut down by Yanmen, so that he could transfer people back and take the opportunity to punish them, so that these tribes had to be merged under his command.

However, Yi Zhixie Shanyu was a little hesitant about whether the whole army should go up to attack Chang'an.The prosperity of Chang'an is indeed exciting, but how can the lamb in the distance compare to the leg of lamb in the mouth? Now that they have been fighting for so long, even half of the way to Chang'an has not been beaten. The whole army can really arrive so smoothly. Chang'an?

"Sheng will go down to Shanyu tomorrow. If it is impossible, let the southerners form a forward team and consume the arrows of the Southern Dynasty! Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, the casualties will be too great, and our troops will be insufficient sooner or later!" Xue Huairen didn't say anything. Yes, if Shan Yu's army does not move for a day, the other tribes will not fight desperately on the battlefield. Even if Shan Yu handed over a small half of his army to King Zuo Xian, and Shan Yu could not be seen, the result would be the same.

"Forward team? That's a good idea!" Yi Zhixie Shanyu was overjoyed, and slapped his thigh with a slap, "Let the people of the Southern Dynasty use their own arrows to kill their own people, hahahaha... Zuo Ri Zhu Wang, it's hard for you Although he is from the south, his heart has always been towards me, the Huns!"

"Shanyu is too much. I have no other choice." Xue Huairen said with a smile, "Of course the best thing is that Shanyu leads the army in person, so that the people of the Southern Dynasties will be scared to death when they see Shanyu."

"Hahahaha... I don't need to go, I still scare the shit out of them!"

At this moment, a military report was delivered to Xue Huairen.He secretly said "God help me too", held up the military newspaper with both hands, and bowed down to Yizhi Xie Shanyu: "Sheng will be under the command of Shanyu tomorrow, happy news, great news!"

It was rare for Shan Yu to see this counselor's happy face, so he couldn't help being interested: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Xue Huairen quickly handed over the military newspaper: "Look, Shan Yu, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty is on his way to the county right now!"

The military report was issued three days ago.The generals of the Xiongnu found that the morale of the people in the Southern Dynasties had suddenly increased, and the team that would have dispersed as soon as they rushed turned out to resist stubbornly.There was also a mysterious army that wiped out three thousand Hun warriors at once. When the reinforcements arrived, there were only corpses missing one ear all over the place.

The Huns were terrified by this change, and the leaders of many tribes on the front line invited witch doctors for divination.The results of the divination all indicated that the Huns were in trouble, and the gods on the grassland were angry because they did not get the sacrifices they deserved, and an important person from the south came. Only by taking off the head of this person can the god's anger be appeased.

The Xiongnu army spent two days in panic, and finally figured out the whole story. The reason why the people of the Southern Dynasties fought bravely was that their emperor had come.This incident somewhat subverted the thinking of the Huns.It stands to reason that their Chanyu should fight side by side with them, and the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty should shiver under his mother's skirt, but the reality is just the opposite.

The witch doctors said that the emperors of the Southern Dynasties also had gods to protect their bodies, so they were not so easy to fight. The repeated defeats on the battlefield just proved this point.The witch doctors also said that only Shan Yu, who was also blessed by the gods, could defeat the emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

So a battle report was quickly submitted to the rear, but Zuo Xianwang, who had already led the troops halfway, had his own thoughts after reading the battle report.The emperor of the Southern Dynasty was in Shangjun. If the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was captured, then this military achievement would be the first in hundreds of years!King Zuo Xian didn't believe in witch doctors. He felt that once the news got to Shan Yu, Shan Yu would most likely go south immediately, and he would lose his share in this battle.

So Zuo Xianwang deliberately intercepted this military report, and sent it to Shuofang two days late, while he himself rushed to Shangjun day and night to seize the credit for the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty!

On the other hand, after seeing the military newspaper, Yi Zhixie Shanyu really had the idea of ​​going south. Under Xue Huairen's instigation, he dispatched [-] troops to go to Yanmen Pass, and ordered that this place must be captured within seven days, and then resumed. The whole army began to prepare for the expedition.

Of course, Liu Xi didn't know about these changes.Although the situation at Yanmen Pass is unknown, he has already realized the first step of his strategic plan. The Huns' footsteps have stopped, and Dayan's defense line may be further compressed.A group of counselors headed by Zhou Yu are planning how to launch a counterattack.The Huns have high mobility and can easily escape if they cannot win. If they face the enemy head-on, there are not many opportunities to effectively kill the enemy.

Zhou Yu thought it best to set up a pocket formation to cut off the Huns' retreat first, and then gradually surround the Huns in a narrower and narrower range.However, considering the terrifying breakthrough ability of a large number of cavalry, it is necessary to weaken the enemy's strength one step before encircling the enemy.As for the method of weakening, either let go of some Huns and let them run back to the grassland, or eliminate some of the main force of the Huns first, and then encircle and wipe out the rest.

"I think that how to fight depends on the situation. As the saying goes, the generals will not accept military orders abroad. Now that we have made a plan, we will only limit the performance of the generals who lead the troops. Whether it is to let go of some Huns or fight first Lose a part, as long as you can win this battle, it’s fine.”

Liu Xi is used to such pre-war meetings, and he is getting more and more mature when he speaks.

"Your Majesty is right. I am too careful. After all, the Emperor only has this card." Zhou Yu pursed his lips, and then smiled, "However, Zilong will not disappoint the Emperor."

The 10 horses of the Volunteer Army are the only army in Liu Xi's hands that can be used to counterattack.In the past few days, in order to increase the tacit understanding of this army and let the newly selected volunteers quickly grow into cavalry instead of infantry on horseback, Zhao Yun has been leading a small part of the army to fight cavalry.Zhao Yun's record was astonishingly good. With only 1000 cavalry dispatched each time, he actually won ten battles and killed nearly [-] Huns cavalry, while his own casualties were only less than [-]!

Although the Huns were caught off guard, it may not be possible to achieve such a result if we go now, but it was an unprecedented victory after all, which gave Liu Xi great confidence and confidence.

The Xiongnu army has nearly 30 people, and after deducting the defenders left in various places, there are about 25 left.Of the 25 people, [-] were in Shangjun, [-] were in Yanmen Pass, Zuo Xianwang led [-] troops, and Shan Yu himself had [-] elite soldiers, but [-] of them had just been sent to Yanmen Pass.

Under the active performance of Zhao Yun and the Shangjun defenders, the Huns lost more than [-] of their [-] forwards, which made them dare not attack the city continuously, and did not dare to send small troops out to plunder.

It was three poles high every day, and it was time for the Huns to attack the city again.Liu Xi condoled the craftsmen who repaired the crossbow on the city wall, and planned to sit in the tower in person until the end of the day's battle.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before there were bursts of weeping from below the city, and the soldiers on the wall were also shouting and cursing.

"what happened?"

Mi Tuan went out and walked around, then ran back in shock and said, "Report to the emperor, something is wrong, the Huns have brought many people from nowhere, and now they are attacking the city among the people!"

"what?"

Liu Xi hurried up the city wall.There were dense crowds under the city wall, most of them were unarmed civilians, who were driven under the city wall like cattle.Because of concern for the safety of the people, very few bows and crossbows on the city were activated, but the enemy troops below the city were clamoring to climb up!

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Li Bai drew his sword and smashed a boulder thrown onto the city wall, which is a throwing weapon commonly used by the Huns.Because Lord Longyang led people northward, the emperor's safety was temporarily handed over to Li Bai.Anyway, he is the emperor's master of swordsmanship, so it is only reasonable to appear by the emperor's side at this time.

Li Bai was depressed for a while because of the Jiahewei incident.He always felt that there was a traitor in Jiahewei, but he couldn't bear to doubt anyone who should have died.So he took all the blame on himself, thinking that if he hadn't been careful enough, no one would have the ability to wipe out the Jiahewei in the entire Xiongnu territory.

Liu Xi enlightened Li Bai and asked him to do something for Jiahewei to help end the war.On the second day, since Li Bai woke up from his drunkenness, he has been by Liu Xi's side, never leaving, so he easily protected Liu Xi on the battlefield.

Liu Xi shrank his neck, then stretched his neck to check for a while.He cursed inwardly for being despicable, to actually use the common people as a shield, the person who came up with this plan is really sinister and immoral.

"All soldiers are not allowed to use arrows! I don't want to hurt them. Which general is willing to rescue the people outside the city?"

"The last general, Sima, promises to go!"

Seeing Zhao Yun's achievements in the past few days, Sima Cheng was jealous, and he stood up immediately when he had a rare opportunity to perform.He also knew that this was not an easy matter, so he immediately ordered people to guard tightly between the inner and outer walls, while he led the heavy infantry around the other city gates, ran to the side of the Huns, and attacked the Huns. City troops attack.At the same time, the gates of the city were opened, and the common people and the Huns entered between the two walls.

Seeing that someone came out to fight in the field, the Huns immediately added another 5000 troops.While resisting the reinforcements' attack, Sima Cheng surrounded the original attackers and drove them into the city.Between the two city walls, the warriors identified their identities while killing and injuring the Huns who broke in.When Sima Cheng managed to break through and closed the city gate, the battle behind him was almost over.

This time, about [-] people were rescued, and [-] Huns were killed and wounded, but Sima Cheng's troops lost more than [-] people.

"Your Majesty..." Sima Cheng, who came back to report, also felt that the result of the battle was very bad, and he looked depressed.

"General Sima, don't take it to heart. I believe that the spirits of the soldiers in heaven will be gratified to save these people."

Although Liu Xi comforted Sima Cheng in this way, he knew very well in his heart that the Huns used this trick today to gain sweetness, and they might continue to drive the people to attack the city in the future.

What to do then?

In a place that Liu Xi didn't notice, among the rescued people, several people were secretly gathering together...
