Big Han Weiyang

Chapter 38 Defection

On the way to the city gate, I met some generals and went together.

As a result of our discussions on the road, traitors appeared in the army.That person's position in the army must not be low.That's why he had the opportunity to steal Feng Jing's head from the sight of Feng Jing's old department.

He wanted the head, probably to use it as a certificate of surrender to the Huns.

General Zhou has a list of generals who went to pay homage yesterday. I glanced at it and passed it on to others.

When we got to the front line, the captain guarding the city gate reported that last night was very peaceful.No one escaped, and the Huns did not attack.

There were sounds of quarreling in front of the city gate.I exchanged glances with the two generals and the three lieutenants, and walked over together.

It was a group of people arguing with the guards at the gate.The people are excited to leave the city.

I understood from the noisy shouts, they said that the prince is sending people to dig the road, and the prince can take the people away at that time, but we ordinary people have no way to survive.Might as well go out and surrender.

At first glance, this group of people is the type who is easily incited.And the expressions and attitudes of the few people who took the lead were obviously not right.General Zhou sent people to take them down, and then dispersed the people.

With the first flaming arrows shot from outside the city, a new round of attacks by the Huns began again.

Although the city wall of the second line of defense has been in disrepair for a long time, in general, it is stronger and more complete than the first line of defense that often faces the attacks of the Huns.

This time, however, they got the siege engine from the previous county.

We should have burned those instruments before we evacuated.Because it had been raining heavily for more than ten days, the wood was so damp that it was difficult to burn it, and the time was tight, so it was too late.So it was a big deal for the Huns.

There was the dull banging of giant trees from the city gate.

It lasts from early morning to noon.The city wall surrounding the county along the mountain wall is like a meat grinder.Live Han soldiers stepped onto the battlefield one by one, but never came out again.

The smell of blood permeated the air, dyeing people's eyes red.

On the city tower, blood washed the bluestone ground over and over again.The drums of war sounded.

Thousands of crossbowmen were divided into three groups with five columns in each group.The process of nocking, shooting, retreating, resting, and stepping forward to nocking is repeated incessantly.People kept falling, their bodies were dragged out, and replaced with new candidates.

Arrows rained down and above the city.

Suddenly there was a commotion, a man in the armor of a Han general rode a white horse, leading a group of cavalry, rushed out from the city gate.

"Your Highness, there are only more than 100 people under General Juli Lake, and he was so tired yesterday, has His Highness sent him to fight again?" Captain Zhao couldn't bear it.

I was stunned for a while, then said: "The widow did not send him out."

"This..." All the generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Don't shoot arrows!" Gouli Lake said to the Hu people in the Hun language.

The arrow rain from both sides stopped.

"Look at his horseback!" Several Han soldiers with shields exclaimed in surprise.When everyone looked around, they saw two human heads tied behind the horse in Gouli Lake.One belongs to Feng Jing, and the other belongs to Wang Xiaowei.

"We are also Huns!" Gouli Lake continued.

I pinched and folded a bamboo slip with a secret message written on it.

Thick clouds floated low in the sky, not even a ray of sunlight could shine.

"Guri Lake, stop!"

The white horse neighed and raised its front hooves.He did rein in the horse.

"When did I ever feel sorry for you, why did you betray the widow at this time?" My voice was clearly audible from heaven to earth.

Juli Lake raised his voice and said: "Why did you betray? Your Highness ordered Juli Lake to go out six times the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday to go to Juli Lake four times. All of Juli Lake has been completed, and seven out of ten of the Hu cavalry under him, I also narrowly escaped death. Julihu thought that this would be enough to show my loyalty. But yesterday, His Highness gave me to Wang Sanquan, a bastard."

"Gouli Lake, my old Li really didn't realize that you are such a person with such a narrow mind. Your Highness, he..." Li Danghu roared angrily.

Gouli Lake interrupted him impatiently: "Yes, Li Danghu, I don't have your unswerving loyalty to the big man, because I am a Hun. Little Liu Yue," he no longer called me His Highness, "These days, do you regard me as a human being, and do you regard Hu Qijun as a human being? In your eyes, we are just pawns that are thrown away. Why should I work for you!"

Han said angrily: "Gurli Lake, when you appeared alone at the border, was it the Han or the Huns who rescued you? Was it the Han or the Huns who raised you? Didn't Your Highness care about your past at all? Did you teach you everything with all your heart?"

"Now you feel that you have been wronged a little, so you would rather be a Hun? The love of your adoptive parents, the brotherhood between us, and His Highness's care and trust for you, are they worthless in your eyes?"

With its back facing us, Juli Lake is silent and firm.

General Zhou frowned and said: "Li Hu's thoughts are too extreme. But General Qian, if your subordinates didn't humiliate him like yesterday, he wouldn't be like this."

General Qian sneered and said, "If His Highness hadn't stopped me yesterday, I would have broken both of the Hun's legs. Would he be able to defect today? Besides, this Hun's son belongs to His Highness after all. I don't blame His Highness for admonishing him for what he did. Not strict, do you want to blame me?"

"you……"

I waved my hand, and General Zhou and a group of captains held back their temper.

I said, "General Qian, this is the end of the matter, and it's useless to talk about it. We need to support each other in a difficult situation. When we defeat the Huns, everything will be easy to talk about. Han said, go and bring those two people up."

A trembling elderly couple was taken to the tower.

"My child!" the old woman cried out in tears.

Gouli Lake's shoulders trembled, and he turned around slowly.

"Gurli Lake, I found your adoptive parents among the relocated people last night. I planned to give you a surprise. Now it seems that there is no need." I said coldly.

"Why are you so confused, baby, come back quickly, don't make any more mistakes. Come back, let grandma look at you and touch you again, okay?"

"Gurli Lake, my Liu family has been closed for hundreds of years, which ancestor would rather die than kneel to the Huns. You, you, I really regret that I saved you and shamed my Liu family!" The old man said straight.

Gouli Lake lowered his head, and the cavalry who followed him hurriedly dismounted to persuade him not to waver.

I stood on the tower: "Guri Lake, if you commit suicide now, then you are still a martyr of my man. The widow will bury you well and treat your adoptive parents well. Otherwise, the widow will let your adoptive parents die. in front of you."

Gouli Lake lowered his head and took a step back in the direction of the Xiongnu in silence.

Han said with a sigh.

Li Danghu said: "Your Highness, let me kill him with my own hands."

"Are you willing to watch the adoptive parents who have taken care of you for many years die?"

Gouli Lake raised his head, with a smile on his face: "They just think of me as a son of the Huns, why did they really regard me as their son?"

There are also many Han soldiers from the Huns in the crossbow hands.Even they showed disapproval of Gouli Lake's words.

"Gurli Lake, listen, our husband and wife, we don't have your son in this life!" The old woman said sadly, "We only regret that we shouldn't have saved you. Now, I will use this life to atone for myself !"

The old man said loudly: "Gurihu, you are really not a Han! You are not worthy of being a Han! You don't understand Han! You don't know what the blood of a Han is like!"

The old woman turned around, but calmed down, showing me a loving smile with tears in her eyes.

"Your Highness, you are just a child. When my old man was your age, he was still catching rabbits in the woods. You have already shouldered the lives of tens of thousands of people. Let us husband and wife handle this matter by ourselves." Come on. Don't let the blood stain His Highness's hands red."

The two broke free from the shackles of the guards, stepped onto the tower, and jumped down without hesitation.

Obviously I was going to kill them, and they didn't do anything wrong.They care about me so much.

I felt a tug in my heart.Looking at Yanmen, which is full of corpses, add two touches of blood red.

Gouli Lake took a few steps back in a daze, and then resolutely got on his horse.

The drums of war began to beat behind me.The wind is buzzing, and the flags are flying.

I solemnly raised my hand: "The crossbowmen are ready."

Sensen's arrows were aimed at the group of people in Juli Lake.The air seems to be pulled into a thin thread, and it will break when it is touched lightly.Optimal range is getting closer.

At the moment when Juli Lake was about to reach the center of the battlefield.

"Shoot!" I swung my sleeves heavily.
