After dinner, Xiao Yu rode Heizi, and Cai Yan nestled in Xiao Yu's arms holding the guqin, ignoring the looks and pointing of passers-by on the street, and said thoughtful words as if nothing had happened. Dian Wei followed closely behind.
"It's not good, it's not goodthe Huns are attacking" Suddenly, the deafening sound of horns accompanied the sound of drums throughout the streets of Chang'an City. People on the street began to run around in panic, and the shops on the street closed their doors tightly.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three people, Xiao Yu, Cai Yan and Dian Wei, on the wide Chang'an Avenue.
A slight breeze blew, and the dust on the street and the scattered shoes clearly reproduced the panic just now.
"Evil, you quickly go to the city gate and ask. Are the Huns attacking?"
"Yes! Drive¡ª¡ª!"
Looking at Dian Wei's running back, Xiao Yu murmured: "What is supposed to come will still come, but Zhao Ji will always be mine and Xiao Yu's only from last night, Huns? Humph? ! Sooner or later your entire clan will be wiped out"
Cai Yan tightened the guqin in his arms, looked at Xiao Yu's stern face, and asked timidly: "Brother Xiao, if the Huns really attack, what should we do?"
"Zhaoji, you don't have to be afraid, your brother Xiao doesn't care about the Huns. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to do anything to you!"
"Well" Cai Yan nodded solemnly and leaned his head deeply into Xiao Yu's arms again.
After a while, Dian Wei came back quickly. "Lord, the city gate officer Yang Feng said that the Huns are attacking. There are about 3,000 cavalry here!"
"Oh? Are these Huns so arrogant? They dare to offend me, Chang'an! Come on, let's go to the city wall and have a look!"
"yes!"
Soon, Xiao Yu and the others arrived at the gate of Chang'an City. After getting off the horse, Xiao Yu took Cai Yan's hand and slowly climbed up the tower.
Yang Fengcheng, the cavalry captain next to Guo Si, has never been taken seriously by Guo Si. Before Guo Si left, he listened to the advice of another general who was usually at odds with Yang Feng and gave Yang Feng 1,000 troops and ordered Yang Feng to cooperate with Zhang Ji to guard Chang'an City.
After Zhang Ji was sent to Wancheng by Yuan Shao, Yang Feng did not pay much attention to Yuan Shao because he did not make a clear statement and had few troops. Zhang Ji's departure forced Yang Feng to stay here awkwardly, waiting for Yuan Shao's assignment.
After Xiao Yu ordered Zhang Fei and others to lead troops back to Xiliang, he once again handed over the city defense task of Chang'an to Yang Feng. How could Yuan Shao trust Yang Feng? Therefore, he took a thousand soldiers under Yang Feng's command early to pursue the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si, and transferred another thousand soldiers from his Jizhou army to Yang Feng!
So, when Xiao Yu wrote a letter saying that he would lead his troops back to Xiliang and hand over the defense of Chang'an to Yang Feng. Yuan Shao did not object, but comforted Xiao Yu in his reply, and he agreed with Xiao Yu's approach.
When Yang Feng saw Xiao Yu coming to the city, he felt as if he had found his backbone. "General Xiao, according to the spies' report, the Huns soldiers have arrived thirty miles outside Chang'an City. Please give me General Xiao's instructions on how to deal with them!"
Xiao Yu quickly shook his head after hearing this: "No, no, no, Xiao has handed over the city defense to General Yang, and General Yang is naturally the commander in chief! General Yang should make the decision on how to make the decision. If Xiao is needed, Xiao will be there to help. Of!"
"I don't dare to show my humiliation in front of General Xiao. The cruelty of the Huns soldiers is well known to the world. Our army currently only has a thousand men stationed. If the Huns army arrives, the people in the city may be in danger No matter what Yang does, My life is now in the hands of Mr. Xiao, please agree with Mr. Xiao" As he said that, Yang Feng, who was wearing armor, suddenly knelt down on the ground and handed over the sword with both hands.
Xiao Yu¡¯s ability is well known to the world. I won't mention anything else, but I will say that Xiao Yu's thousand Xiliang cavalry fought with several times the number of troops against Xiao Yu's Li Jue and Guo Si. Although Xiao Yu had the advantage of defeating the enemy in that battle. But, can anyone achieve this advantage?
"This?" Xiao Yu looked at Yang Feng who was kneeling on one knee in embarrassment. Lifting him up with both hands, "General Yang, you are the coach, and you should fulfill your responsibilities as the coach. If there is any need for Xiao, just say it, but this generation of General Yang is absolutely forbidden to exercise sovereignty. Is it possible for General Yang to do so?" Are you afraid of the Huns?"
Yang Feng looked stern and said with great excitement: "Hmph! I think back then Huo Qubing could kill the Xiongnu alone. He ran for hundreds of miles in the vast desert to find traces of the enemy. In the end, his "long-distance attack" strategy won the first battle and defeated the enemy. 2028 people, killed the Xiongnu Chanyu's grandfather and captured the Chanyu's state minister and uncle. Huo Qubing and others returned alive. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately named him "Champion Marquis" and praised his bravery to win the three armies. Although Yang Feng was difficult to defeat The champion is just in case, but this passionate person does not admit defeat to the champion! Since General Xiao is like this?Said it, then it would be embarrassing! "
Seeing Yang Feng behaving like this, Xiao Yu secretly thought to himself, patted Yang Feng on the shoulder and said firmly: "Okay! General Yang, let's repel these Huns together, so that they know that there are still people in our Han tribe!"
"Where is Xu Huang?" Yang Feng took a deep look at Xiao Yu and nodded. shouted loudly.
A strong man wearing armor, a black shirt on his back and a big ax in his hand walked out from behind Yang Feng and said in a rough voice: "The general is here!"
"Give the order and ask the brothers to polish their weapons. Whoever kills five Huns will be promoted to one rank, and whoever kills ten will be promoted to two ranks. And so on! If anyone shrinks from the battle, behead him on the spot! Anyone who confuses the morale of the army will be beheaded. Yes! Those who don't retreat when they sound the trumpet, behead them. Those who don't retreat even when they call for gold, behead them!"
"Yes! I will tell every soldier about this!" After saying that, the sturdy Xu Huang walked out with a big ax in his hand.
"Because these soldiers are sent by the alliance leader, military discipline must be strictly enforced! Moreover, it is impossible to know exactly how many soldiers and horses the Huns have. Therefore, everyone must fight as if they are dead!"
Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Why fear? I think the general named Xu Huang just now is a rare tiger general!"
"Alas, I know this. When it comes to uniting troops and fighting formations, Xu Huang is better than me. Unfortunately, I have recommended him to the superiors many times, but he has been rejected. Alas"
"It doesn't matter, if you have the right, gold will always shine. Since Xu Huang has such abilities, isn't there any place in the world for him to show off?" Xiao Yu waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Well! Yes, I also believe that Xu Huang will achieve limitless achievements in the future!"
Thirty miles outside Chang'an City
"Oh~oh~oh~"
The strange screams came with thunderous hoofs. A large number of dark -crushed cavalry rolled from the plain like locusts. It was the Single of the Southern Xiongnu led by the Huns of the Huns. Wherever the Huns cavalry passed, black smoke curled up, villages were burned, crops that were about to grow were trampled, and working people were massacred.
Countless kind-hearted Han people groaned under the iron hoofs of the Xiongnu barbarians. The poor and kind-hearted Han people thought that even the imperial officers and soldiers would no longer harm them. They could finally live a good life this year. Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred. Well, trouble started on the east wall, and overnight, another group of ferocious jackals were killed.
Yu Fuluo lashed the horse's butt with a whip, and galloped wildly. He had already committed numerous acts of cruelty and didn't realize there was anything wrong with this. This is what he did when he was in the northern grasslands. Not only did he plunder the tribes of the Wuhuan and Xianbei people, but he also sometimes went south to plunder the villages and towns of the Han people.
In the eyes of the savage and ignorant Huns, human beings are no different from wild beasts in nature. They annex weak tribes with force, rob women and property, and kill strong men, just like the law of the jungle and the strong in nature. It is only natural! No one has ever thought there is anything wrong with a wolf eating a sheep. Therefore, Yu Fuluo never thought there was anything wrong with such an act of riding and looting. This was the logic of barbarians.
A man in rich clothes rushed to Qiu Liju's side on horseback and shouted angrily: "Huchuquan, what happened?"
Huchuquan roared: "When King Zuo Xian went to Beidi's cavalry to loot a Han village, he was attacked by more than a thousand cavalry. More than 300 horses were all killed. So he went to Beidi to fight his way out of the siege. After reporting the letter, he fainted. . I didn¡¯t believe it at first. But the day before yesterday, I took someone to see it and found out that it was true. All the brothers¡¯ bodies had been skinned and they were hung upside down on the branches at the entrance of the village to demonstrate.¡±
"Ah! Damn cavalry! Can you find out whose army it is?"
"According to King Zuo Xian Qubei, the banner he fought was Xiliang Xiao! General Xiao of Zhenxi!"
Yu Fuluo was startled and said, "Is it him?"
"Yeah! That's right, brother, who is that Xiao Yu? How dare you kill me, a Hun warrior! I, Hu Chuquanfei, skinned him!"
Yu Fuluo's angry face gradually turned dark purple, "What a good Xiao Yu, I didn't offend him, but he dared to offend me! Hu Chuquan, don't worry! That Xiao Yu is very powerful, Chen Bing is with us The cavalry on the Xiongnu border are very powerful! After we capture Chang'an, we will return to the grassland and carefully plan to find Xiao Yu to settle accounts!"
After saying that, Yu Fuluo's eyes instantly turned red and he said sternly: "These hateful Han people! Killed so many Xiongnu warriors! I will capture all of them Han people and light sky lanterns one by one as a living sacrifice~~ blow the trumpet, Assemble the entire army!¡±
¡°Nooooooooooo~~~¡±
Yu Fuluo gave an order. The low and distant sound of the horn sounded suddenly, and the Huns cavalry who were riding and plundering galloped back on their horses and quickly began to form formations.
