"Master Hou, you must do your best to inform King Donghu to come and receive us. Otherwise, we will easily be trapped in Wuwei. This city is so small, we can bring enough food. But I didn't bring much firewood, and even if it was freezing in the cold, it could freeze us down. ”

Dai Yu looked at the leaving tiger and goshawk and said worriedly.

"yes. Wood and charcoal is a big problem, so mobilize the people to go outside the city to get some burned. Whatever it is, as long as you can light a fire, go to the city. On such a cold day, the cans were frozen into ice. The brethren must not be allowed to eat cold.

Also, bring Arnold. To ask for help from King Donghu, you must have his help. King Donghu would not believe a Han man who ran rashly. ”

Yun Xiao looked at the wind and snow outside. It was this sudden snowstorm that delayed the hooves of the Huns, otherwise they would have been surrounded in this small city by now. However, the blizzard could not delay the Huns for long, and the Huns who had lived in the Mobei grassland for a long time knew how to deal with the blizzard. As long as this snow stops, it will not take two days for the Huns to appear under Wuwei City.

It would be too late to ask for help from King Donghu at that time, and Zhangye was hundreds of miles away from here, and it was difficult to travel after snow along the way. And Yun Xiao is not sure whether the king of Donghu will really have a head-on conflict with the Huns.

"Master Hou, you look for me." Arnold walked in, and bowed to Yun Xiao without caring about the snow on his body.

"Arnold, I came to you to ask you to help ask King Donghu for reinforcements. Your clansman Ah Jin has just confessed, and the king of Qianghu of the Xiongnu is leading more than 10,000 Xiongnu iron horsemen to attack Wuwei. Now the blizzard is only temporarily stopping them, as long as the blizzard stops for a while, they will soon appear under the city.

You know the manpower in the city. There are less than 100 people in the Yulin guards. The people of the Yun family have just died a lot, and the people in the city can't count on it at all. Now only King Donghu can save the lives of our people. ”

Yun Xiao unreservedly introduced the current situation to Arnold to know. Now is not the time to hide, but trust in each other is important in times of trouble.

"Master Hou, I know what you said. But I am soft-spoken, and I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the king to go to war with the Huns head-on. "Arnold looked helpless, he will be trapped and die here when the Huns attack. Arnold didn't want to be the ghost of the Huns.

The corners of Yun Xiao's mouth flashed with a wicked smile: "This is easy to do, you just say that it was the Qiang people who attacked us." Anyway, the Qiang people have attacked us, so it's not a lie if you say that. When Donghu's army comes, even if you don't want to fight the Huns, do you think the Huns will not fight them? ”

Arnold stared blankly at Yun Xiao. What kind of brain did this guy have? Such a complex problem can be solved so easily. For the Qiang. The king of Donghu was far less feared than the Huns.

If the king of Donghu is a tiger, then the Qiang people are a bear. If you really fight together, you really can't tell who wins and who loses. Besides, although the Qiang people are brave, the guys in their hands are too simple. Many Qiang tribes still live a life of slash-and-burn farming. Often, only one tribe has a cauldron. For such an opponent, King Donghu will definitely not hesitate to make a move.

Wait for Donghu's army to come to Wuwei. As long as they meet the Huns. When the time comes, knife to knife and gun to gun. I can't do it if I don't want to.

"Master Hou is smart, I'll let my relatives and confidants go to Zhangye to report the news. I think my king's army should come soon. Arnold said confidently.

"Remember to exaggerate the number of Qiang people, otherwise a few thousand people will not be enough for the Huns to eat."

"This is natural."

Arnold and Yun Xiao looked at each other and smiled. A qiē is all in the words.

Arnold's cronies set off for Zhangye with ten warriors in the wind and snow, and Yun Xiao began to organize the laborers of Wuwei City to rush hay and other burning things into the city day and night.

The people of Wuwei were ordered to hand over ten loads of hay to each family, and if they could not hand it over, the marquis of the Han family would kill all the men in the family who were taller than the wheels. There were many complaints in Wuwei City, but no one dared to disobey the orders of the Marquis of the Han family. The human head on the city wall is the best baby, and even the city lord has cut down a few people.

Under the rush of the brigade, Wuwei City was full of all kinds of fire-starters. The firewood on the school yard was piled up like a hill, and Yun Xiao began to worry about setting fire again.

The blizzard finally stopped, and the Hun army arrived as promised.

It looks like Ah Kim lied, or maybe he didn't know the truth. The Hun cavalry in front of him was far more than 10,000 people, and Yun Xiao even estimated that the number was close to 20,000.

The Huns surrounded the small city of Wuwei at the first time in Daoda. However, they appeared to be very patient and did not rush into the attack. Instead, he set up a tent around Wuwei.

Yun Xiao stood at the head of the city and raised the telescope in his hand. The tents on the opposite side blew a few horns, and then a lot of cavalry ran out of the Hun tents in all directions, converging on the largest tent.

"It looks like the general of the Huns is going to hold a meeting, and it looks like this Qianghu king is a difficult character to deal with. In order to fight steadily step by step, before the war, I also knew to convene a meeting of the generals. It's much more difficult to deal with than those who are vain, so everyone should be careful in this battle. ”

Yun Xiao put down the binoculars and said to the generals under his command.

"What Hou Ye said is that Ah Jin said that this King of Qianghu is a well-known warrior of the Xiongnu. It is said that after 30 years of fighting, he did not taste a single defeat. He was the one who broke Yuyang last winter. ”

Canghu often goes to Ah Jin's bad luck these days, making Ah Jin's life worse than death, and at the same time, he also took out a lot of information about the Huns.

"Oh, then we have to get justice for the people who were killed in Yuyang. I guess there will be a lot of corpses for us to burn tomorrow. ”

Goshawk appreciated Yun Xiao's practice of burning corpses under the city walls, which could not only severely damage the morale of the enemy army, but also effectively resist the attack of the enemy army. There are basically no trees on the ground of the grassland, and the trees within a radius of ten miles have been cut down by the Yunxiao faction. The Huns even had to run more than ten miles to make siege equipment.

Yun Xiao didn't believe that without siege equipment, they could still fly in.

The long-lost moon finally came out, and the low moon hung in the sky. The Yun family's Xiangyong lit a bonfire on the city wall to keep warm, and the weather that had snowed was colder than when it snowed. Even though everyone was wearing a thick felt cloak, it was still too cold.

The excessive weight made everyone as cumbersome as a log, and Yun Xiao handed everyone a small bottle of steamed wine. This thing is the best weapon to ward off the cold at night.

More than a dozen black shadows crept quietly on the ground, their bodies covered with the white coarse cloth. The faint moonlight shone on it, making it almost unrecognizable.

Each of them held a round black clay pot in his hand, so as not to reveal his place in order to prevent the white breath he exhaled from revealing his place. They all wore leather masks, and their task was to deliver these jars under the city gates and then light them.

The townsfolk on the city wall gathered around the bonfire, eating biscuits and drinking steamed wine. Only occasionally glance down the city. I didn't even notice these guys in white cloth.

The small Wuwei City had no moat, and these black-clothed people climbed under the city. Climb along the edge of the city wall to the city gates. The little Wuwei only had two city gates, and they were crawling towards the city gate that had exploded a few days before Yunxiao. Although it has been repaired simply, it is much worse than before.

The shadows finally crawled to the bottom of the city, and they poured the Western Regions fire oil from the clay pots on the broken city gates. Then one of them took out a box of matches, which the caravan had brought back from the Han realm. Gold is very expensive, and only the head of the grassland can afford it.

A few of them were blown out by the wind, and the guy at the head was so anxious that he was sweating. In the end, they surrounded a simple tent with a cloak and surrounded the guy in the middle. That's when a match was lit.

The burning effect of the fierce fire oil in the Western Regions is very good, and the moment the burning match touches the city gate, the entire city gate will burn.

The burning gate was like a huge torch, and it instantly emitted a dazzling fire. The man in black behind him kept throwing the fierce fire oil he was carrying on the burning city gate in order to make the fire at the city gate more violent.

The Yun family Yong on the city wall has not yet noticed it, but the village Yong stationed under the city has already noticed that something is wrong.

"Oh no, the gates are on fire. Bring the water, bring the water. ”

The townsman at the city gate shouted loudly, and the city gate suddenly became a pot of porridge. There were those who drew buckets of water, and those who poured snow on the burning gates with their blades. Many more rushed to the walls in an attempt to kill the arsonists.

The men in black took off their white cloaks and threw them into the burning fire. Now whenever they light something that can be burned, they throw it on. These men were dead soldiers, and their task was to light the flames and burn down the city gates.

During the day, King Huqiang had already observed, and this was a broken and strict city gate. After a period of incineration, and a few more hits with the battering rod, it will be easily knocked away.

Bows and arrows began to shoot down from the top of the tower, and the dead Huns were hit by arrows one after another, and the villagers were angry that they attacked them, and these dead soldiers were shot like hedgehogs one by one. These people did regard death as their home, and when they were dying, they did not forget to throw their sheets into the flames.

The silent grassland suddenly boiled, and under the hazy moonlight, countless Hun knights rushed towards Wuwei City. The townsman on the city wall blew the whistle in his mouth while firing arrows.

The Hun knights kept returning fire with bows and arrows, even though people around them were constantly shot down. Still fighting to the death, under their cover, several horses dragged a thick log and ran under the city gates.

Several tall Hun knights jumped off their horses, carried thick logs and slammed them into the burning city gates.

Where could the broken city gate withstand such an impact, only a dozen hits.

"Boom"

The gates of Wuwei City were slammed open. (To be continued......)
