The next day, the sky was hazy, and the trumpets sounded on the vast land.

Tens of thousands of captives, driven by the Xiongnu cavalry, launched an attack on the county town of Anyi, pushing heavy ladders and battering rams that hit the city gates.

"Envoy, the Huns have attacked the city!"

On the tower of the city, the soldiers of the Han family who heard the sound of the horn suddenly became excited, and they were no longer sleepy, and hurriedly reported to the county guard Ping.

Wei Ping is over forty years old this year, with a long face with single eyelids, a scribe's short beard, and looks quite thin.

Hearing that the Huns were attacking the city, Wei Ping, who was resting on the desk, suddenly opened his eyes. These days, he has never gone to bed to rest, let alone taken off the light armor on his body, and is ready to fight to the death with the Huns at any time.

When the Huns approached the city for the first time, Wei Ping released cruel words in front of the soldiers of the two armies, and if he wanted to break the city, he had to step on the corpse of his county guard first.

As a result, the soldiers defending the city were greatly encouraged and their morale was greatly boosted.

When he came to the city tower, Wei Ping leaned on the female wall and looked down, and when he saw the ragged Han people rushing towards the siege equipment, Wei Ping's eyes showed a strong hatred.

These Huns were really vicious, and they actually came up with such a way to siege the city.

"Archer prepare!"

Seeing that those siege ladders were gradually approaching the city, Wei Ping was ruthless in his heart, and issued an order loudly, no matter who wanted to get close to the city, he had to pay the price of blood.

"Envoy, these are all unarmed people from Hedong!"

Qin Lu, the commander who was guarding the city, was anxious and exhorted loudly: "Maybe some of the relatives of the soldiers are also inside, the Huns are trying to let us kill each other!" ”

He could kill the Huns without blinking an eye, but these were Han people, and they didn't even have a decent piece of armor, and they were forced to move forward under the expulsion of the Huns' leather whips, which clearly wanted them to be cannon fodder for the siege.

The soldiers on the city wall were also unbearable, and the people were innocent.

"If you sit like this, you will fall into the hands of the Huns, and you can only watch them break the city! As a local county guard, even if I can't bear to attack these people, I have to do it. I am responsible for the tens of thousands of people in the city, and I must be worthy of the trust of the general! ”

Wei Ping raised his eyebrows and said excitedly.

He has always been a person who takes the overall situation into account, and at this time, he can't feel pity because it was the Han people who attacked the city.

"Envoy, I heard that the reinforcements have reached the south not far away, and the last general asks to break through the siege to relieve the siege of Anyi!" Qin Lu was unwilling to kill Han Min, so he clenched his fists and asked for a breakthrough.

Wei Ping had also heard about the arrival of the Han army in the south, but he was not sure whether it was true or false, and he was not sure that it was false news released by the Huns, and deliberately wanted to lure them out of the city.

What's more, he had sent people to break through many times before, but each time he was killed by the Huns' fast horses, and none of them succeeded.

"Envoy, the last general is willing to try, although he will die without regrets!" Qin Lu asked again.

Looking at Qin Lu's determined expression, Wei Ping sighed, anyway, if he survived, the chances of winning were slim, so it was better to give it a try.

"Okay, I promise you. However, I can only transfer a hundred horses to you. Wei Ping said with a little guilt, in the current situation, he really has no extra manpower to send.

"Rest assured, the last general will not live up to your expectations!"

Qin Lu bowed his hand, turned around and walked down the city tower.

The Huns stormed the west city gate, and Qin Lu chose the weakest east city gate to break through.

The Hun general stationed at the east gate of the city was the extraordinary strength of the ten thousand horsemen Yiqu daring, he saw the city gate open, the Han people rushed out on horseback, and shouted when he boarded: "Sons, don't let go of a Han man, kill with me!" ”

Yiqu dared to urge the mount under his crotch to take the lead, and five thousand Hun soldiers followed and rushed over.

Qin Lu didn't dare to fight, and after he and Yiqu dared to confront each other, he turned his horse's head and led people to break through.

After some fighting, only five or six people managed to escape.

"General, can we chase after us?" His commander came over and asked.

"Forget it."

Yiqu dared to lick the blood on his hand, grinned the corners of his mouth, and laughed.

If it weren't for the greetings in advance, he really wanted to screw off the head of this general.

After the breakthrough was successful, Qin Lu took a few remaining subordinates and fled south non-stop. But the land east of the river is vast, and he didn't know where to go to find the traces of reinforcements for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, he bumped into the sentry who was out patrolling the wolf cavalry camp, and took him to Hujia Village, where he met with Lu Zhen, Chen Gong and others.

"Major General, it is imminent, please send troops to rescue An Yi quickly!"

Qin Lu was quite excited when the soldiers bandaged their wounds, after the Huns broke through Xihe County, they slaughtered all the Han people caught in the city, and even used them as rations, he was afraid that Anyi would suffer the same fate.

After learning about the deployment of the Xiongnu troops from Qin Lu, Lu Zhan pondered for a moment in his seat, the more than 100,000 Xiongnu army is not a small number, ten times the number of his own, and the outcome is unpredictable.

However, Anyi is the place of Hedong governance, and even if this attack cannot be won, at least it can suspend the urgent need of Anyi.

Thinking of this, under Qin Lu's eager and expectant gaze, Lu Zhen nodded and agreed: "General Qin doesn't have to worry, I'm here to expel the Huns." Commander Li, I bother you to gather the soldiers of each battalion, and after the assembly is completed, I will personally lead the rescue of Anyi! ”

Li Hei said 'yes' and strode out.

"Wait."

Suddenly, Chen Gong stopped Li Hei.

The swarthy deputy commander turned around and looked at Chen Gong with a suspicious face, and the others in the hall also cast suspicious glances.

Chen Gong stroked his chin and beard, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and his deep gaze pointed directly at the point: "I'm thinking about ......"

There was a pause in his tone, "Could this be a trap deliberately set by the Huns?" ”

Hearing this, many people in the hall were confused.

"Why did the military advisor say that?"

Lu Zhen also didn't know what was going on, so he humbly asked for advice.

He respects the military advisor that his father values very much, but his brother-in-law retorted a few nonsense after a certain drunkenness, probably saying: This arrogant, lonely and upright Chen military advisor, if he dies in front of Lu Bu, it will be fine, if he dies after Lu Bu, I am afraid that he will not die well.

Of course, Lu Zhen just took this as a joke, and didn't take it to heart, let alone mention a word to outsiders.

Although Lu Zhen is smart, after all, his experience is still shallow, and he has never had the experience of leading troops to fight before, and the set he uses is mostly a set of dead things copied from the military book.

Chen Gong is different, he has followed Lu Bu for many years, whether it is internal affairs or strategy, he is a first-class person in the world, and his vision is far longer than Lu Zhen.

According to Qin Lu's dictation, Yu Fuluo had only attacked Anyi once before, and then there was no movement. If the expectation is good, Yu Fuluo should be worried about the loss of strength caused by the storming of Anyi, after all, the Xiongnu are so few people, and the Xiongnu are the same as the Xianbei people, they are only good at galloping and fighting, not good at attacking cities.

If you only rely on more than 10,000 Han prisoners to attack, it is almost equivalent to a vain, even if you conquer Anyi, you will also have to take the lives of many Hun soldiers.

Huvro shouldn't be so stupid.

Therefore, this Xiongnu siege should be very likely just an illusion, in order to lure Lu Zhen to reinforcements, and then intercept and kill on the way.

"Then what you mean is to give up reinforcements?"

Qin Lu suddenly got up and argued with Chen Gong on the spot: "This is just your speculation, if the Huns attack Anyi because of this, I will see how you will explain it!" ”

He risked his life to get out of the city, not for this result.

"General Qin, don't worry, and listen to the military advisor." Lu Zhen motioned for Qin Lu to sit down, since Chen Gong had seen through the tricks of the Huns, he would naturally have a countermeasure.

Seeing Lu Zhen defending himself like this, Chen Gong nodded secretly in his heart, and at the same time, a confident smile rose on his face: "Since the Huns have bad intentions, why don't we plan it?" ”
