Chapter 0135: Yang Liulang guards Yanmen alone
"Tall Rider!" The Huns in the city screamed.
That's right, it was the Gaoche warriors of Hu Luguang who pretended to be the Huns and infiltrated Pingcheng, and those "prey" Han people were the Han army led by Gao Pet!
"Kill!"
Gao Pet pulled out the hidden golden tiger head gun, jumped into the enemy group, and instantly stabbed the corpse!
"Ahh Han! ”
The head of the hundred households on the city wall exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly picked up his bow and arrows.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Hu Luguang has already taken the lead, a three-foot long arrow, piercing through the chest and back of hundreds of households, nailing it to the city wall!
"Kill!"
The city gate was opened, and Liu Mang Fu Youde led the troops to pour into Pingcheng!
Slaughter!
In only half an hour, all the Huns guarding Pingcheng were slaughtered, and only a few dozen old and weak people who had no ability to resist remained.
All the captives were driven outside the city, and the corpses of the Han Chinese slaughtered by them were lowered from the wooden shelves.
Under the flickering swords and guns of the Han army, the captured Xiongnu dug deep pits with their bare hands and buried the bodies of innocent Han people.
"Young master, what should you do with these captives?"
The corners of Liu Mang's eyes were beating spasmodically, and for a long time, he spit out a cold "kill"!
The sword light flew, the screams were terrible, and the arrogant Huns finally tasted cruelty!
"Go! Violent corpses! ”
The heads of the Xiongnu were piled up into small hills, and the headless corpses were scattered across the wilderness.
The vultures gathered and circled like dark clouds, only to wait for the crowd to disperse and enjoy the feast.
Killing the old and weak captives is not the goal, but to warn the Huns, those who dare to offend my Han will have to repay the blood debt twice!
After a short rest in Pingcheng, the team ordered Liu Ji Fu Youde to lead 500 foot soldiers, disabled and ordinary people to stay in Pingcheng, and Liu Mang led Hu Luguang and Gao Pet to lead 400 horse infantry soldiers to rescue the Yin Pavilion.
……
South of Pingcheng, 300 miles away, Yin Pavilion, Yanmen County is now governed.
Yanmen, for hundreds of years, has always been a necessary place for the Xiongnu to plunder, and it is also an outpost for the Han people to resist the Xiongnu.
Yin Pavilion is located at the south end of Yanmen, the north gate is tired water (氵tired water), and the south side is the Great Wall built along the summer house and the two mountains of Ju Note. (The summer house and the sentence note are also called Yanmen Mountain, which belong to the Beiyue Hengshan Mountain Range.) )
In the south of the Yin Pavilion, there is no precipitous to defend, break through this place, the Hun iron cavalry can be along Xinding, Taiyuan, Linfen, Yuncheng these four connected basins, straight to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.
For half a month, Yang Yanzhao, the commander of the Yin Pavilion defenders, has not gone down the city wall or removed his armor.
The messy beard, the torn battle robes, and the face of the baptism of war are tired of sleepless days. Yang Yanzhao, who is only twenty-two years old, looks as if he is more than ten years old.
However, a pair of tiger eyes are still blazing, the corners of the mouth are hung with unyielding pride, and there is the blood of Yangmen's loyalty flowing in his bones!
"It's time for Shichiro to come back......"
Look out at the countless fires outside the city. It was the campfire where the Huns were camping.
The Xiongnu invaded the south, and the county captain of Yanmen County fled south with his family's money regardless of the lives of the Li people.
Yang Yanzhao was only the commander of the next pawn of the county lieutenant, and the blood of the loyal martyr Yang clan flowing in his bones resolutely stayed in the Yin Pavilion to resist the Huns.
Left with him, there were also 800 hot-blooded men in Yanmen.
To Yang Yanzhao's relief, in addition to the 800 warriors and the people of the Yin Pavilion who were unwilling to leave their homeland, there was also Qiao Zhong, a wealthy merchant from Taiyuan County who passed through here to transport goods, and took the initiative to stay in the Yin Pavilion to resist the Xiongnu.
Qiao Zhong is a wealthy man in Taiyuan County, and nearly half of the commercial trade in the state is directly or indirectly related to the Qiao family.
Lieutenant Qiao donated all the goods carried by the caravan to the officers and soldiers guarding the border, and handed over the 200 capable soldiers who escorted the caravan to Yang Yanzhao's command.
Military funds and family soldiers are undoubtedly a send-off in the snow. And more importantly, Qiao Zhong's righteous act greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the border guards.
With the towering city walls, unyielding will, and carrying the expectations of the hometown fathers, although facing an enemy ten times their size, the city defenders repelled more than ten attacks by the Huns.
However, the defenders of the Yin Pavilion also paid the price of nearly half of the casualties.
The Xiongnu who invaded the south this time, there were no large-scale siege equipment, more than ten times the siege failed, the Xiongnu changed their strategy, changed the forced siege to the siege, and surrounded the Yin Pavilion tightly by virtue of the numerical advantage. Every day, part of the troops will be sent to attack the city, the purpose is to consume the energy and supplies of the Han army defending the city, as well as the most important feather arrows to defend the city.
With the materials brought by the Qiao family's caravan, food is not a problem for the time being.
However, the feather arrows were almost used up, and Yang Yanzhao had already ordered a ban on wasting feather arrows, and Qiao Zhong organized manpower to dismantle the bricks and tiles in the city and transport them to the city wall for the purpose of defending the city.
However, more and more injuries and injuries have made Yang Yanzhao feel anxious. If the reinforcements do not arrive, even if the Xiongnu do not launch a large-scale siege battle, the Yin Pavilion can only hold out for five days at most.
Yang Yanzhao is familiar with the art of war and knows a lot about the officials and defenders in Yanmen. At the beginning of the Xiongnu's southern invasion, he realized that the defenders of Mayi, who were at odds with the Yin Pavilion, would not be able to resist the attack of the Xiongnu. And the Yin Pavilion will eventually become a lonely city against the Huns.
Isolated and helpless, the soldiers are taboo, and the end of the dead end!
At the beginning of the decision to stick to the Yin Pavilion, Yang Yanzhao sent people to Jinyang, Taiyuan County, where the state capital is located, and Lishi, the Xihe County Governance Office, to request to send troops to support.
However, several groups of people asking for help were dispatched, but there was no news from Xihe County, and although there was a reply from the state capital, it refused to send reinforcements under various pretexts.
In desperation, Yang Yanzhao had to hope that the party would guard Zhang Yang too much. The eldest son of Shangdang County, where Zhang Yang is located, lives thousands of miles away from Yanmen. Yang Yanzhao hoped that Zhang Yang would put the national righteousness first and send troops to help.
The first warrior sent to Shangdang rushed back to the Yin Pavilion and brought back exciting news - Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Shangdang, agreed to rescue the Yin Pavilion! But far water does not quench the thirst of the near.
The eldest son of the Shangdang rule was more than 900 miles away from the Yin Pavilion, and even if he marched at the fastest speed, it would take five or six days to arrive.
Qiao Zhong, a wealthy businessman from Bingzhou who helped Yang Yanzhao guard the Yin Pavilion, suggested that it was better to send someone to break through and rush to Youzhou Dai County to move troops.
The Qiao family's business has become big, and the business has even reached Shangguhu City, Youzhou, and they have naturally heard of Liu Mang, the acting county lieutenant of Youzhou.
Although Liu Mang has just emerged, he seems to be young and arrogant, ruthless and domineering.
However, Liu Mang's move to promote agriculture and commerce in Shanggu County, especially in Hu City, and escort merchants can be described as a pioneering move in the era of heavy agriculture and light commerce.
Qiao Zhong is a big man in Bingzhou, and the Qiao family has been a businessman for generations, so he naturally has a good impression of Liu Mang, who attaches great importance to business.
Liu Mang dared to resist the strong with the weak, and he also flattened the white horse general Gongsun Zhan, which showed extraordinary courage and courage.
Not only that, Liu Mang's extermination of Zhang Ju and pacification of the Golden Remnant Party of Northern Taihang were also righteous moves for the benefit of the country and the people.
Liu Mang has soldiers and horses in Ban's Tun of Daijun, and it is only less than three hundred miles away from the Yin Pavilion.
Qiao Zhong is a businessman, he walks a lot and sees a lot. But Yang Yanzhao was only the commander of the Weimo army in the state army, and he was not familiar with Liu Mang.
He just felt that even the state capital was unwilling to send troops to help, and the hope of moving the rescue troops from Liu Mang of Daijun was even more slim.
Rushed to the doctor.
Under Qiao Zhong's strong suggestion, Yang Yanzhao finally let his younger brother Qilang Yang Yansi break out of the siege and rush to Liu Mang's place in Daijun to move troops. Yang Yanzhao specially instructed Qilang that if Lieutenant Liu refused to send troops, he would immediately rush to Ning County, northwest of Shanggu County, Youzhou. There is the Captain Woo Huan's Mansion, and I implore Captain Woo Huan to send troops to the rescue, which is the last hope of the Yin Pavilion.
It's just that Yang Yanzhao knows very well that even if Captain Wuhuan is willing to send troops, only God knows whether he will have time to relieve the siege of the Yin Pavilion......
"Commander!"
An excited shout made Yang Yanzhao, who had always been calm, shudder.
"Commander! The movers are back! ”
