Chapter 72: Take action

"Woooooo!"

The autumn wind blows by, and the whimpering sounds. When you brush on your body, it is cold and cold, no longer as refreshing and pleasant as in the first season. Now it is late autumn, and winter is not far away.

Under Yanmen City, there are corpses everywhere, blood splashing everywhere, broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and broken internal organs everywhere...

Since he arrived at the Yanmen City, the military minister Shanyu ordered the Xiongnu to launch a fierce attack on Yanmen, and tried to take it down in one go.

However, Li Guangshou was as flawless as an iron barrel. He could not make any progress by allowing the Huns to fight desperately and allowing the military ministers and Shanyu to supervise the battle himself.

Instead, a lot of casualties have increased. Now, a month has passed, and the bodies of the Huns accumulated under the city have already exceeded 10,000. Not even 20,000, it is not much different.

In a siege, nearly 20,000 soldiers were lost, which was the first time in the history of the Huns.

The Huns were all cavalry, with high mobility and coming and going like the wind. Today is in the east and tomorrow is in the west. For a strong city, if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can’t fight, you will retreat. Such a fierce attack on a city at any cost has never happened in the history of the Huns.

The Huns were good at fighting in the field and were not good at siege cities. Without siege equipment, such a fierce attack was tantamount to death. However, the military minister Shanyu had his own difficulties and had to do so.

At this moment, the military minister Shanyu was complaining in the king's tent and complaining.

"You are all pigs, and you can't even catch a city!" Junchen Shanyu held the golden scepter in his hand and pointed at the ministers. He roared and roared from afar, and could hear it from afar.

According to the idea of ​​Junchen Shanyu, his fierce attack on Yanmen City was enough to attract the Han army here. Even if he could not succeed, the Huns in several other cities would always succeed. However, until now, there was no success in one place, and it would be impossible to not be angry.

The ministers were so aggrieved. You called us pigs. What about you? Have you taken down Yanmen after you have been fighting for so long?

However, they could only keep it in their hearts and dare not speak out.

"The Great Shanyu, the warriors of the Great Huns were not good at siegeing cities."

The right Grand Commander was straightforward and his voice was frighteningly loud, like thunder: "If the Grand Shanyu insisted on us attacking the city and gave us siege equipment, I can guarantee that we will definitely capture it."

Isn't this nonsense?

The Huns' ability is to ride on horseback, or to ride and shoot. If the Huns have siege equipment, then they are still called the Huns?

This made the ministers feel in their hearts and secretly applauded. However, Junchen Shanyu's nose almost turned crooked and he wanted to have an attack, but he couldn't do it.

The right commander was right. The reason why the Huns had no choice but to use the strong cities of the Han Dynasty was that they had no siege equipment. However, the Huns only knew how to turn horses and bend their bows, where could they find siege equipment?

If they want to build it, it will cost their lives. If nothing else, just talk about this village. The Huns made it look like a sheep pen and were rough, and it was not as durable as the village made by the Han army.

During decades of plundering, the Huns did not have access to the Han Dynasty's siege equipment. The problem was that the siege equipment was too bulky and was very inconsistent with the style of the Huns' robbery, and it was eventually ruined.

If I had known this, why didn’t I save it before, and I wouldn’t have the troubles of today.

But, where can I buy regret medicine in the world?

Yi Zhixie hurried out to smooth things over: "The Great Shanyu, the Han people are good at defending, and the Great Xiongnu are good at attacking. As long as we continue to fight, we can defeat them. Just break through a city, and the Han Dynasty will be in trouble."

There were a lot of siege equipment in the Han Dynasty. If you only need to break through one city, the Huns would have siege equipment. Then, other cities would be easy to deal with.

"Um!"

Junchen Shanyu finally had a step forward: "King Zuo Guli is right, this city must be conquered!"

King Zuo Xian thought for a while and said, "Da Shanyu, why don't we let go to Yanmen and go straight to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty? After passing Yanmen, there is a plain, a flat horse, which will facilitate the cavalry of the Great Huns to gallop."

"Yes! Go around." The ministers agreed loudly.

"Around it?"

It was not that Junchen Shanyu had never thought about it, but that he did not dare to turn the golden scepter in his hand: "If Yanmen is not down, you dare to go around? The flying general is coming, who will go to meet the enemy?"

He was very afraid of Li Guang and the ministers, and no one dared to accept this matter.

"Besides, there are so many Han troops in Yanmen City. Even if we want to siege, we need at least 50,000 elite troops. The flying general guards him, can 50,000 or 60,000 be surrounded?" Junchen Shanyu had long thought about it.

To surround Yanmen and prevent Li Guang from playing a role, at least 100,000 troops are needed. Once there is no follow-up from the 100,000 troops, the strength of the Huns will be greatly reduced.

The ministers lowered their heads.

"Also, you haven't found where Zhou Yang is yet?" Junchen Shanyu frowned: "This is what this Shanyu is most worried about. Those ten thousand cavalry are enough to be worth tens of thousands. If we bypass Yanmen, he suddenly leads his army to attack and defeat our army. He joins Li Guang's troops and fights from behind, do you think about the consequences?"

If this is true, there were strong cities of the Han Dynasty in front and cavalry from Zhouyang behind. The Huns probably went but never returned.

This is based on the fact that Junchen Shanyu did not know that Zhou Yang's weapon to deal with him was a crossbow formation rather than a cavalry. If he really wanted to bypass Yanmen, Zhou Yang would definitely laugh.

Because Zhou Yang only needs to recover the border city, defeat the Xiongnu army on the border, and then lead the army to come from behind, that is, close the door and fight the dogs, and no one of the Xiongnu can escape.

The ministers' heads were even lowered, especially the Zuo Xianwang, who was even more arrogant and did not dare to show off.

According to the initial plan, Junchen Shanyu should be in Chang'an at this moment, enjoying the Han Dynasty's food and wine in Weiyang Palace, wearing the Han Dynasty's brocade clothes, preparing to marry Princess Nangong, so how could he sulk here?

I accidentally saw Ah Hu'er and was so angry that I was so angry that the Hu'er exposed the intentions of the Huns, which caused such consequences. I shouted: "Ah Hu'er!"

"Da Shanyu." Ahu'er was shocked. Junchen Shanyu was so angry that he really didn't know how to deal with him.

"You lead three thousand men to attack the city." Junchen Shanyu's face was as heavy as water.

"The Great Shanyu..." Ahu'er was a very courageous figure, but the Xiongnu's spirit had long been exhausted, and no one wanted to attack the city again.

Whoever goes to attack the city will die!

"Hou Chan'er, go with him!"

Junchen Shanyu still had a good impression of Zuo Daduwei's younger brother, the only person who escaped from Li Guang's arrow, and a smile appeared on his face: "If he dares to take a step back and cut off his head!"

"Please rest assured that Da Shanyu, Hou Chaner understands!"

Hou Chan'er was very brave and led his army to attack Yanmen City many times, but failed. He was able to receive the order when the ministers were afraid of moving forward, which made the military minister Shanyu very pleased.

Ahu'er was extremely reluctant and had to bite the bullet and lead the army to attack the city.

"Woooooo!"

The sound of horns like swallowing and complaining sounded, and the three thousand Huns, led by Ahu'er, drove towards Yanmen City.

On the top of the city, Li Guang stood like a mountain, looking at the Huns that were coming, and smiled and said, "The Huns are here to die again!"

Li Danghu was very happy: "The Huns could not capture the troops for a long time, so the Shanyu should withdraw his troops, but doing so recklessly is tantamount to dying."

"Do you think he doesn't want it?" Li Guang was a famous general, with such a strong vision. He said in one sentence that Pojunchen Shanyu's intention: "He was taking it upon himself. Who told him to use the blood oath? Once the blood oath came out, he must move forward bravely. The war was not good, but he could not withdraw his troops. Besides, where would he retreat?"

Li Danghu was a little confused: "Why?"

"There is still a blazing fire on the grassland, and it will not be extinguished until the snow is flying." Li Guang laughed, and was full of energy. He waved his right hand hard: "Thousands of miles of grassland turned into ashes, countless cattle and sheep were killed or injured. When the Shanyu retreated his troops, what did he eat? What should he drink? This winter, the Huns must be very sad!"

Li Danghu suddenly realized that countless cattle and sheep died in the Huns, and then burned the grassland. The Huns were already in a difficult situation. Life in the desert was hard and cold, and the resources for life were not abundant. In normal years, the Huns were very sad in winter. Not to mention that the fire in Zhouyang hit the key to the Huns. It is not difficult to imagine how sad the winter days were.

If the military minister Shanyu withdrew his troops and returned to the desert at this time, life would be difficult. If he persisted in fighting, it would be best to break through the Han Dynasty and get the food and grass in the city, then the Xiongnu's crisis this winter will be overcome.

I have to say that Junchen Shanyu thought quite far-reachingly.

The question is, can he do it?

"If the Huns were defeated, they would be even more sad!" Li Danghuo clenched his fists excitedly.

"That's it, that's it! You kid should give more effort!" Li Guang laughed and teased his eldest son.

While the father and son were talking, the three thousand Huns led by Ahu'er had already arrived at the city.

Li Guang still had the same fighting style. He put it under the city and started attacking when they climbed the ladder. Bows, arrows, crossbows, boiling oil, rolling wood, and fighting stones all at once. The Huns cried and called their parents, and the wolf ran and the rat jumped, making a mess.

Ah Hu'er was so strict that she was extremely reluctant, but she had to climb up the ladder and climb up the city like flying.

I have to say that he is very good at climbing a cloud ladder, and he is almost at the top of the city in just one breath.

However, when he put his hand on the trunk, a mighty roar sounded: "Eat me an arrow!"

A powerful and tall general, like a god, was right in front of him, his ape's arms relaxed, and a thick and large hard bow bent into a full moon. The bright arrow aimed at his forehead. It was the flying general Li Guang.

Li Guang's shooting skills are famous all over the world. It is impossible to escape from Li Guang's arrow. Ah Hu'er's face turned pale with fright, her hands became weak, and she no longer had the strength to fall down on her back.

"Ha ha!"

Li Guang laughed loudly, but did not shoot arrows. If he fell down from such a high city wall, is there any reason to be immortal? There is no need to shoot arrows anymore.

Maybe Ah Hu'er should not have died. When he fell down, a soldier fell down and plastered him on his back. Although he was so sad that he was so painful that he took a cold breath and finally saved his life.

He got up in a hurry, ran away and ran away.

"pity!"

Li Guang shot Ahu with one arrow. Although there was only one arrow, the sound of breaking through the air was loud, as if thousands of arrows were shot.

The sound of breaking through the air seemed to be sounding in my ears. Ah Hu almost fell to the ground, grabbed a corpse, threw it back, and rushed forward like a frightened rabbit.

Li Guang's arrow shot the corpse and flew forward, hitting Ahu'er's right leg. Ahu'er screamed and fell to the ground.

Hou Chan'er bent his bow and arrow and shot at Li Guang: "General Fei, I'll shoot you back!"

"Hou Chan'er?" Li Guang's eyes condensed and he shouted violently. Four big yellow arrows were placed on the string, aimed at Hou Chan'er and shot them.

The four arrows were like the power of four hundred arrows, heading straight to Hou Chaner.

Hou Chan'er escaped from Li Guang's arrow once, and knew how powerful it was, so she dared not be negligent. She pulled the reins of the horse and chased the wind horse, and dodged two branches. The other two branches dodged with their agile skills.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hou Chaner came immediately, grabbed Ah Hu'er, placed it horizontally on the horse's back, and rushed out quickly.

Li Guang would not let him go? He had another bow and four arrows, and shot at Hou Chan'er. Hou Chan'er used the same trick again. However, there was one more person on the Fengfeng Chasing Horse at this time, and he was no longer so flexible. Two arrows flashed by, and his left arm was shot through the arrow, and the arrows stained with blood penetrated half a foot of his body.

Another arrow shot his left leg.
