    Shuofang County in Bingzhou was facing a big war at this time. Small countries in the Western Regions led more than 80,000 troops to attack Shuofang County of the Southern Huns.

    "General Zhao, the enemy troops are rushing towards Jilu Sai. At this time, the person staying behind Jilu Sai is Huchuquan, the younger brother of Fuluo, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns. The entire fortress only has 20,000 troops. If we don't go to support Jilu Sai, I'm afraid Jilu Sai will be destroyed.  It's hard to protect." Located in Woye County, more than 100 kilometers east of Jilusai, Liu Jiajun's Canglang Army was stationed here at this time.

    When Zhao Yun led the Canglang Army to arrive in Woye County, Woye County was being attacked by a force of about three thousand barbarians. These Western Region armies massacred everyone in the city, whether they were soldiers or civilians, even children.  Let one go.

    If Zhao Yun hadn't come so quickly, the entire Woye City would have been filled with blood and corpses everywhere.  When Zhao Yun arrived, Woye City had fallen, and the city was burning with flames and wailing.

    In a rage, Liu Jiajun rushed into Woye City and surrounded three thousand barbarians. So far, no enemy soldiers have escaped.  Seeing the people in the city crying and the miserable scene, Zhao Yun was so angry that he directly ordered the thousands of captured enemy soldiers to be killed in memory of the people in the city.

    "This place is nearly two hundred miles away from Jilu Sai. Without further ado, we must rush to Jilu Sai. If the enemy launches a general attack and captures Jilu Sai, Shuofang County may not be able to be saved." Zhao Yun stood at the top of the city.  His eyebrows were slightly furrowed. As the head coach of the Canglang Army, he had to think carefully and act quickly. Otherwise, the army would be passive, Jilu County would be taken, and his visit to Shuofang would be in vain.  .

    Jiluxai was a famous military transportation fortress in the north of the Han Dynasty. During the Yuanshou period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, General Huo Qubing went on a northern expedition to attack the Xiongnu. That is, he went from Beidi County, passed through the Yinchuan Plain, and went north along the Yellow River. He left Jiluxai and went straight to Juyan.  A great military victory.  For Shuofang County, if Jilusai falls, the situation will become somewhat difficult to control.  Because of this, Yu Fuluo stationed more than half of the Southern Huns' troops here, which proves the importance of this fortress.

    The Southern Xiongnu have developed rapidly in recent years under Liu Long's governance, but they only have about 50,000 soldiers and horses.  The 50,000-strong army was already the limit of the Southern Xiongnu, and with Liu's army stationed in Bingzhou, Yu Fuluo did not think about expanding the army in these years. He sent 20,000 troops to Jiluxai, and the remaining 30,000 or so troops were scattered in various counties.

    But no one would have thought that the countries in the Western Region would actually send large armies to snatch it, and instead of attacking Liangzhou, they would attack Bingzhou.  At this point, it is puzzling. It is really unreasonable to leave Liangzhou untouched and attack Bingzhou.

    Zhao Yun left two thousand troops and one general behind, and quickly headed to Jilusai with 20,000 troops and horses. This time, the general was Zhao Yun, and the deputy commander was Gao Shun.  Zhang Liao was originally the deputy commander of the Canglang Army, but due to the alliance, he was sent to Youzhou to discuss with Gongsun Zan by Liu Long. So far, the position of deputy commander fell into the hands of Gao Shun.

    Gao Shun is a general in the trapped camp. His main task is to train the army and protect the security of the main city. He directly obeys Liu Long's dispatch.  It can be said that he is not among the four major legions, but his status is not lower than Zhao Yun and others.

    This time Liu Long sent Gao Shun to assist Zhao Yun. Not only did he bring people here, he also brought more than 3,000 people into the camp. Needless to say, the horror of being trapped in the camp was terrible. After a long period of continuous training, their cooperation was  First gear and ten are no problem.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Jilusai, the pass to the north of the fortress in the Han Dynasty.  The fortress stands on the west side of the gorge mouth. The canyon runs from north to south of Yangshan Mountain and has a flat bottom.  Adjacent to the Great Wall of Han Dynasty to the north and Tu Shenze to the east, it was the gateway to the northwest of the Han Dynasty, controlling the transportation chokepoint through Yangshan Mountain.

    This is a stone city, a fortress made of stones.  This stone city is in the shape of a square, with buildings facing the cliff outside and extending hundreds of meters to the left and right. To the north are majestic and majestic mountains. The front of the mountains is open and broad, and the plains are sloping.  To the east of Shicheng, the valley mouth is open and unobstructed. Passing cars, horses and pedestrians can be seen at a glance, making it easy to guard.  The east wall of the stone city is the most dangerous. It is built close to the edge of the high steps.  This terrace rises from the bottom of the valley, standing like a wall, with a height of 18 meters. Including the seven-meter-high stone wall, the total height is 25 meters. It is absolutely difficult to climb without special equipment.  The top of the city wall is about three to four meters wide, and the base of the wall is about five meters thick.  The four corners of the city wall each protrude two meters outward, resembling a turret platform. If an ambush is set up here, the enemy can be monitored and blocked from attacking from below.  The building materials are all natural stones.  The cracks between the rocks are padded with soil.  The exterior of the city wall is neatly built.  However, due to years of wind and rain erosion, the top of the wall has collapsed in many places.

    "Jilu Sai is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is built on a cliff. Even a hundred thousand troops cannot attack it.  Of course, this is without siege equipment, and now this Jilu Fortress is facing a big battle.

    Huge boulders are flying all over the sky, from inside the fortress to outside the fortress, and the shouts and curses of fighting are constant. An exciting battle is taking place in Jilu Sai.  The endless view outside the cityThe figure approached Jilu Sai with troops, hundreds of catapults were launched into sight, and huge boulders fell from high altitudes to hit the city head of Jilu Sai.

    "General, it will be difficult for our army to hold on at this rate, so we have to think of a way quickly. Otherwise, the fortress cannot be defended." On the city of Jilu Fortress, a soldier ran up to a general and said anxiously.

    "Go away, I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If you let me go down to the city to avoid the enemy's attack, you might as well kill me here." The general in front of him was full of foul language, seemingly bold, and what he said alone was not what anyone said.  Dare to step forward and object.

    The person in front of me is Hu Chuquan, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Huns. The enemy launched a full-scale attack, and hundreds of catapults aimed at Jiluxai to attack.  The sky was full of flying stones falling from the sky, and even a good city would be hard to defend for a long time, let alone a stone city made of stone.

    "General, the enemy army is coming fiercely. I'm afraid it will be difficult for our army to hold on. We should ask the general to withdraw from Jiluxai"  hold fast.

    "Fart, withdraw from Jilusai, you might as well kill me with one knife." Huchuquan's face became extremely ugly. There were many enemy soldiers, but he also had an army of 20,000. Relying on this unique land,  Completely capable of dealing with enemy forces.  Moreover, the Han army was coming here. Huchuquan believed that as long as he held on for a few hours, reinforcements would arrive, and he would be able to hold on to Jilu City by then.

    Huchuquan gritted his teeth and said to the messenger, "Give me the order to go down and let the army defend Jilusai. Tell me that reinforcements from the Han army are coming here. They will reach Jilusai within a few hours."  "

    Hu Chuquan knew that the reinforcements would arrive, but he didn't know how long it would take. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he first reassured the soldiers, saying that the reinforcements would arrive within a few hours, so that the soldiers could stay at ease.

    For several hours, it was indeed difficult for the Canglang Army to march, but it was not impossible for the light cavalry.  In order to reach Jilu Sai in time, Zhao Yun led five thousand light cavalry to rush towards Jilu Sai first, while the power of the Canglang Army fell into the hands of Gao Shun.  The army, led by Gao Shun, was marching towards Jilu Village at a rapid pace.
