Toulon was a warrior as strong as a wild boar, with two buns on his bare head. A pair of strong arms can easily knock down the strongest yak, and his blade is a huge mountain-opening axe. With a strong physique, there is also a fierce style. He has always been one of the most effective generals under Da Danyu.

At this moment, the 30,000 iron horsemen he led blew like the wind at the foot of Lingwu Pass. The Great Wall is very long and requires a lot of soldiers to defend it. However, it is usually closed in places with difficult terrain, although the function of the Great Wall is to defend. However, it could not completely hinder the communication between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.

Business travelers, as well as envoys from both countries, had to pass through these passes. If the Hun cavalry wanted to exhaust the Great Wall of Kuài, the best way was to capture the pass. Otherwise, it would be pointless to capture even a section of the wall. Because of these sturdy walls, it was a waste of time to dismantle them. Often, before it was completely demolished, the Han Chinese had already organized forces to recapture the Great Wall.

Toulon glanced contemptuously at the majestic pass in front of him, and these Han Chinese would only shout on the high wall. They simply did not dare to come to the steppe and fight against Hun warriors like themselves.

His soldiers are collecting wood, and they need to make a huge number of ladders. Some of the Han Chinese who took refuge would make siege engines, but the problem was that siege engines needed a thick log. But there are few trees in the grassland, where can I find a thick log now?

The captive Han Chinese were clever and they quickly solved the problem. Three trunks with thick bowls were tied together, and long rivets connected the three trunks. Toulon tried it and it was very sturdy. With his strength did not separate the three trunks.

"Well done, give them twenty sheep tonight." Toulon excitedly looked at the nearly completed siege engine, and ordered his guards to lead the Han leader to collect the sheep.

Weiyang Palace, Yixin Zhai.

"Sister, something is not good. Yesterday, Hongling's urgent envoy sent Yunhou's 800 li urgent, saying that tens of thousands of Huns attacked Lingwu Pass. ”

As soon as Tian Wei ran into Yixinzhai, he hurriedly reported the rumors he heard to Wang Huan.

"Pop" The teacup in Nangong's hand fell to the ground and shattered. Wang Wan was taken aback and looked back at her daughter.

Xiaoqing hurriedly instructed the two palace maids to clean up the debris on the ground.

"What a panic and a noise! Anyway, he is also a big official with 2,000 stones, so he is not calm at all. If something comes in and says, come in and listen to it. ”

Wang Wan reprimanded Tian Wei and glanced at Nangong, who was pale.

"It's not that I just heard about the victory of the Marquis of Lintong. Took a city of the Huns. How did it become like this in the blink of an eye? As soon as Wang Wan sat down, she couldn't wait to ask. It seems that the calmness just now is also pretended. She knew too well the role Yun Xiao played in Liu Xiaozhu's battle for the throne, if it weren't for his secret operation. It is simply unimaginable to bring down Liu Rong so quickly.

Now the most convenient tool is actually facing tens of thousands of Hun troops, how can this make her not panic.

"I don't know. However, the military newspaper said that it may be that the Huns could not penetrate the defensive line of General Li Guangcheng from time to time. Instead, he changed the western front of the Lintong Marquis. On both days, there were no large-scale sieges on the Eastern Front, as usual. ”

"I don't understand the military. You just talk about whether Lintong Hou can win this time. ”

For things she doesn't understand, Wang Wan didn't pretend to understand. Instead, I asked directly about the result.

"I don't know much about military affairs, but the Marquis of Lintong's pro-army only has more than 1,000 people. And there are only a few thousand soldiers from Longyouhui. There must have been a lot of losses in the previous attack on the city. If what the military newspaper said was true, the Huns turned around and attacked the Western Front with all their might, and the Marquis of Lintong must have been more auspicious. ”

"Then the father didn't send troops to save him."

Nangong forgot about it and said eagerly.

Wang Wan and Tian Wei glanced at each other, and Nangong also felt that what he said was too abrupt. But the words have already been spoken, and it is impossible to take them back like water poured on the ground.

There was a ghostly silence in Yixinzhai, and the three of them didn't speak, thinking about what was in their hearts.

"How long have you been with him?"

Wang Wan was the first to calm down, looked at Nangong and asked.

"Mother......" Nangong's little hand stirred the handkerchief vigorously, and his face was flushed. With his eyelids lowered, he stood there silent.

"This is your own uncle, what are you ashamed of. Do you know that this article alone can make him raid his family and exterminate his family. You don't love him, you hurt him. ”

Wang Wan was a little speechless, it stands to reason that it is best to let her daughter encircle this Marquis of Lintong, who has no interests. But the problem is that Yun Xiao has already married, and once the matter of Nangong is known to Liu Qi, it will probably be a monstrous disaster. The son and other great positions still depend on this person, and he must not be allowed to fold on this.

"Sister, now is not the time to talk about this. Father-in-law Qiandu said that when His Majesty summoned Prime Minister Zhou and Wei Qihou to discuss secretly. They all said that this was a plan of the Xiongnu to attack the east and west, and asked His Majesty not to send troops to aid the Marquis of Lintong.

Besides, I heard that in the past few days, there has been heavy snow near Lingwu Pass. The road is slippery and difficult to walk, and it is also thanks to me that I sent a lot of charcoal according to the instructions of the Marquis of Lintong some time ago, otherwise the Marquis of Lintong would freeze to death if the charcoal was broken. ”

"What does 陛xià mean?"

Wang Wan can always grasp the key to the matter, it doesn't matter what others say, what matters is what Liu Qi thinks.

"Sister, it's not that you don't know Your Majesty's temperament. His Majesty doesn't know much about military matters, and now he completely relies on Prime Minister Zhou and Wei Qihou. It is estimated that His Majesty will definitely listen to the opinions of Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying, and will not send troops to assist the Marquis of Lintong. ”

"Then just watch the Marquis of Lintong finish in Lingwu?" Wang Wan was a little anxious.

"Yulin, where Wei Juan is stationed, has a gallop road that can lead directly to Lingwu, and he is friendly with the Marquis of Lintong. Maybe he can go to the aid of the Marquis of Lintong, but the mobilization of Yulin requires His Majesty's military talisman. But His Majesty didn't nod, how did this talisman be obtained! ”

Joy fell into silence again.

The military minister stood alone in the snow, surrounded by potholes the size of bowls.

This is simply a tactic that makes him speechless, and he has never heard of it. This is a cavalryman's nightmare, I really don't know what kind of head can come up with such a way.

The surrounding Hun generals were also apprehensive, such a trap was too terrible. They were all good riders and understood the speed of the cavalry when they charged. In the face of such a trap, even if it is discovered, it is impossible to stop, and it can only be hoped that the Kunlun God will bless him.

No knight can simply hold his horse's back with his legs and not fall off it.

"See, this is the opponent we're going to face. Cunning is like a fox, not to mention Rukali, I am afraid that it will not please any of you. ”

Da Danyu is obviously excusing Rukali, after all, he has followed his personal guards since he was a child. I made such a mistake, but after reading this. The military minister decided to forgive him for his mistake, because even if it was any of the generals here. In the face of such a trap, they will fail miserably.

"Da Danyu, that's why we're going to eliminate this opponent. Because he is too smart, this method should be popularized on a large scale in the Han army. It was a nightmare for the Hun cavalry, and these small pits were no more than a foot deep, and they were very quick to dig.

Before the two armies face each other, it only takes half an hour to prepare. In rainy and snowy weather, it is even more difficult to spot from a distance. I am afraid that in the future, the generals of the Great Huns will no longer dare to rush to charge, and even have to be cautious in pursuit. ”

Zhongxingyue also admired the person who invented this tactic, and simply digging some earth pits could resist the charge of the Hun cavalry. In front of these pits, the Huns no longer dared to ride their horses and gallop at high speed.

"Yes, so this time we must break through the Lingwu Pass. Catch this clever fox, and I'll rip off his fox skin myself. Revenge for the dead Hun tribes! ”

The words of the military minister Shan Yu were loud, and the shouts of the Hun generals immediately sounded around him.

"Let Lukari go, and let him help Toulon. I'm sure he won't be the man who fell twice in front of a pit. (To be continued......)
