Chapter 326: The Siege of a Thousand Armies

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Recently, from the Xiongnu Xianbei side, there have been rumors that King Changshan is the invincible king of the grassland, and I don't know if it's true or not! However, this person is quite benevolent, but he has an irresolvable hatred with Dong Table! ”

Ma Teng slowly arrived the deeds of Chu River, and Ma Chao's heart was rippling when he heard it, but he was thinking about a question, how did King Changshan know his name?

"Father, where do you start?" Ma Chao frowned and asked. _!~;

Ma Teng haha smiled, looked at Ma Chao and said: "Dong Zhuo had a righteous son before, who was the chief secretary of Ding Yuan in Bingzhou, surnamed Lu Weibu, and had invincible martial arts, but he was recruited by Chu He and became a member of Chu He's general, do you say Dong Zhuo can not be angry?" …… Okay, don't talk about this, you rest and recuperate first, and when King Changshan has news, I will pass you on! ”

After saying that, Ma Teng looked at his son, whose face had improved slightly, and said a few words in his heart, then got up and walked outside.

Ma Chao sighed for a long time, and after the guards and military doctors left beside him, he couldn't help lying on the bed, looking at the top of the tent, and muttering: "King Changshan is also a hero, he did what we wanted to do, but we didn't dare to do!" I'm convinced of losing to him, but I'll never vote for you! ”

Then Ma Chao yawned, and fell asleep after a while.

The sky outside gradually brightened, and Chu He led everyone to hurry all night, and a dilapidated earthen city appeared in front of them.

This is one of the hundred earthen cities set up by the Han Dynasty in order to pacify the Xiongnu and set up from the Hetao area.

These earthen cities were garrisoned all year round, but the number of people was very small, and later some of the earthen cities were abandoned and merged into twelve earthen cities.|i^

This earthen city is a city under the jurisdiction of Beidi County, and after Xiliang was subdued by Dong Zhuo, it also surrendered to Dong Zhuo along with it.

It's just that Dong Zhuo also stopped here, taking the northern land as the dividing line, ignoring those places that were often ravaged by the Xiongnu for the time being, but he didn't expect that after Shangjun, Shuofang and other cities were subdued by the Chu River, the grassland tribes had a great tendency to return to the Central Plains, regardless of the size of the tribe, they all believed in the invincible king Chu River.

"Lord, there are only 100 people stationed in this earthen city, although there are few people inside, but the materials are abundant! Many merchants often enter it to hide from horse thieves! Lu Ke looked at the earthen city with a height of nearly three meters on the city wall in front of him, and introduced it to Chu He.

On one side of the official road, many chariots and horses were moving slowly, and many caravans entered the city directly.

The garrison at the gates of the city was all loose, and they did not check those who entered.

"Let's go! Let's replenish the supplies first! The war horse has not rested all night, but it can't be hungry! Chu He turned his head to look at everyone, and the longitudinal horse took Lu Ke and more than a hundred soldiers and drove in the direction of Tucheng in front.

β€œzhanzhu! Who are you? The soldier guarding the gate heard the sound of horses' hooves, but when he saw that the horses under the knights' crotches were war horses, he could not help shouting loudly.

"I am Chu He, the king of Changshan, and I want to borrow the materials in your city to use them!" Chu He looked at the soldier and said in a deep voice with his head held high.

When the soldier heard this, he couldn't help but think of the military letter sent last night, and hurriedly rushed towards the city, but the soldier who was running slower next to him fled with a crawl, and he didn't even want the city gate.

The surrounding merchants were so shocked that they did not dare to enter the city for a while, but turned around and walked into the distance.

But any businessman with vision understands what the name of Changshan Chuhe represents.

"Let's go!" Chu He didn't care about them, and led everyone into the inner middle school, leaving Lu Ke and more than a dozen soldiers waiting in front of the gate at the gate to prevent the enemy from closing the city.

Tucheng is not very large, and can accommodate 5,000 people to live here, but the barracks of the past have been converted into taverns and inns.

Only the general's mansion in the city remained the same, Chu He looked around curiously, but he was not panicked.

In a short time, a group of 100 soldiers approached the street in the distance, each with a bow and crossbow in his hand, and behind him was an old man on a horse.

The old man's sharp-beaked monkey gills are not a good thing at first glance.

"Humph! Rush over and kill him for a while, and let him know how good we are! Chu He snorted coldly, his body moved, and he quickly chased the wind and turned into a whirlwind, rushing straight to the soldiers in front.

The soldiers had seen a shadow come to them in the blink of an eye, and before they could pull the trigger, they were already knocked out.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of war horses swept over, and the 100 people who defended the city all threw away their armor and fled to the corner crying for their fathers and mothers.

Where have they ever seen such ferocious cavalry, even if the Huns occasionally enter here, they will be frightened away by the crossbow arrows in their hands, but these people are obviously people who do not want to die.

"Ahh The prince is coming, and he will miss the welcome at the end, and please forgive the prince! The prince forgives his sins! "The city keeper is old and good, no matter whether the other party is the king of Changshan or not, there is nothing wrong with him kneeling down and begging for mercy first, as long as he can save his life, then there is no chance to recover the insult he received here.

Besides, when the old guy came out, he released a carrier pigeon.

Since Chu He robbed Ma Chao's camp last night, Ma Teng learned the news and had not returned to the camp yet, so he notified the surrounding cities, and this Tucheng was naturally no exception, and got Ma Teng's information.

Now Ma Teng's Xiliang Iron Rider is cruising around this northern land, and I believe that it will not be long before he will receive joy and come to help.

After paying attention, the old guy began to blindly pat himself on the back, and he would say anything good anyway.

"I want horsefood, crossbows, arrows, and soldiers! Hurry up and prepare! Chu He looked at the old guy, snorted coldly, and said in a low voice.

The old guy turned his head and glanced at the soldier beside him, and the soldier hurriedly ran to the side, apparently to prepare the supplies that Chu He wanted.

After a while, a horse flew from outside the city: "Lord, our army has discovered that the enemy brigade is coming!" The fastest group is in the west, about 1,000 people, and it takes about half an hour to get there, and the other two are further away, about 3,000 people, and it takes at least an hour to get here! ”

After listening to the report, Chu He realized that the old man had already informed him of the news of his arrival, no wonder he had been preparing for so long, and he couldn't help but move, looking at the old man who was trembling all over his body and was about to say something, with a wave of his long sword, a head flew up.

"Go! Bring all the resources of Tucheng to Lao Tzu! Chu He shouted as he looked at the trembling soldiers around him.

The soldiers hurried into action, fearing that one step at night would make them look like a city guard.

Then Chu He glanced at the soldier who reported the news, and said: "Pass my military order, order the Seven Killing Battalion to enter Tucheng, and after half an hour, go out of the West Gate!" ”
