"Whoosh!" The sharp arrow flew out of Zhao Yun's hand quickly. Before Qiu Chu could gallop his horse for more than a hundred meters, the sharp arrow gleamed with cold light and penetrated his armor from the heart behind his back. With a shrill scream, Qiu Chu The car fell off the horse. When Zhao Yun rode his horse in, the other party's pupils were wide open and he looked dead. After so many years, Qiu Chuche could never forget the hatred he felt back then, but he would never have imagined that he would be shot dead by Zhao Yun just after he left the army.
Zhao Yun stepped forward and took a look at the three people on the ground. Qiu Chuche and Kublai Tan were undoubtedly dead. As for Wanyan Tuolei, he was not far away from death. Seeing that his left hand was cut off by it, blood kept flowing out. , if the bleeding is not stopped in time, I am afraid that I will bleed to death.
"Here comes someone! Take this person down quickly and make sure to save him. I don't want a prisoner who can't speak." The people behind Zhao Yun quickly stepped forward and took away Wanyan Tuolei, who was lying on the ground and almost passed out. Go down.
Looking at the smoke-filled Jilusai, Zhao Yun's eyebrows could not help but frown slightly. Although the enemy's three generals had been eliminated at this time, the main force was still outside the city. If the catapults outside the city are not destroyed, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on to the Chicken Deer Fortress.
"Hu Chuquan pays homage to General Zhao. I would like to thank General Zhao for saving his life just now." Hu Chuquan was supported by the two people and came over, and he hurriedly said to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun nodded, "King Zuo Xian, there is no need to be polite. You and I are both friendly forces and we should save each other."
Zhao Yun can be said to have given his opponent enough face. The Southern Xiongnu and Liu Jiajun were ostensibly friendly forces. To put it bluntly, the Southern Xiongnu were just a tribe dependent on the Liu Jiajun. Without Liu Jiajun's single-handed support in these years, I am afraid that the Southern Xiongnu would have been extremely miserable. Of course, Liu Long's main purpose of helping the Southern Xiongnu in this way is also obvious. He wanted to slowly integrate the Southern Xiongnu into the Han people and become part of the Han people. It's just that this thing can't be completed in a few years, it can only be proven slowly over time.
In addition to Shanyu, the Southern Huns had four kings with the highest official positions. King Zuo Xian, King Zuo Guli, King You Xian, and King You Guli were collectively called the "Four Corners" and were more noble than the other princes. Huchuquan was not only the commander in chief of Jilu Sai this time, but also the Xianwang Zuo among the Southern Huns.
"General Zhao's words are reasonable, but the current situation of the war may not be good. I wonder if General Zhao has any clever plan to drive away the enemy." Huchuquan had no strength to fight anymore at this time, but he could see that the reinforcements had indeed arrived, but the There are only five thousand light cavalry, probably just the vanguard. In this case, the army has not arrived yet, so the outcome of this battle is unpredictable.
The city gate was closed again, and the gaps everywhere were blocked by corpses. The enemy troops in the city were either driven out or killed. In a short period of time, Jilusai was finally stabilized and control was regained.
But Zhao Yun knew that the hundreds of catapults outside the city were not for nothing. If they were not destroyed in time, the battle would eventually be defeated.
"The only plan for now is to go out of the city and destroy the catapults. Otherwise, it will be difficult to guard this chicken-deer fortress for several hours." At this time, Zhao Yun had something puzzled in his mind. It was true that the Western Region Army came all the way to Bingzhou, but hundreds of catapults How was it transported? That thing is not easy to transport, and the manpower and material resources required can be imagined. The strangest thing was that the arrival of this army was so sudden.
"Go out go out of the city and destroy the catapults. General Zhao is not joking. There are at least 70,000 or 80,000 Western Region troops outside the city. With the strength of our army, going out of the city will only lead to death." Hu Chuquan usually acts like a fool. He seemed to be a reckless person when he spoke thunderously, but he was still quite calm at critical moments. When he heard that Zhao Yun was about to go out of the city to destroy the catapult, Hu Chuquan expressed his confusion.
Zhao Yun was helpless at this time. Judging from the situation at hand, he had no time to choose. If he could hold on, he would be able to force the enemy to withdraw. He might as well hold on for a few more hours and wait for Gao Shun to lead the army to arrive and make long-term plans.
"Boom boom boom"
There was a roar like thunder again, and huge rocks in the sky landed on Jilusai again. The enemy failed to attack the city and could only use catapults to open a gap. For them, if the first wave of siege fails, they cannot delay it any longer, otherwise it will be difficult for the 70,000 to 80,000 troops outside the city to finish.
"Now we can only make a desperate move. If King Zuo Xian believes in Zhao, please let Zhao mobilize his troops. If Zhao cannot destroy the catapult, he will only stain the battlefield with blood." Zhao Yunyi made a decision. At this time, he Hu Chuquan only had one request, and that was to give him the military power.
Zhao Yun came with only 5,000 light cavalry, and it was a fool's errand to think of destroying hundreds of catapults with these 5,000 troops. There are still tens of thousands of Southern Xiongnu in the city. If there are tens of thousands of troops, Zhao Yun believes that it is not difficult to destroy these hundreds of catapults.
Hu Chuquan couldn't help but think deeply, and closed his eyes for a moment, "Okay, if General Zhao hadn't arrived, our army would have been a lonely ghost. Since our army's life was saved by General Zhao, then our soldiers will be commanded by General Zhao." ."
Covering the wound on his chest, he shoutedWith a pale face, Quan summoned his generals and told them repeatedly.
In the Chicken Deer Fortress, Zhao Yun led the Canglang Light Cavalry to stand at the foot of the city. Looking at the large group of Southern Huns who were gathering towards the city, Zhao Yun sat on the white dragon colt and raised his gentian gun in one hand, "Soldiers, there are two roads for you to take. One is Evacuate Jilu Sai and return to Hexi County with the shame of defeat. Secondly, go out of the city with my Liu Jiajun soldiers and fight to the death with the enemy. Zhao also wants to say here, behind Jilu Sai is your hometown, where can you live? With your wives, children and families, if you withdraw from Jilusai today, you can think of the consequences"
¡°If you don¡¯t retreat, you won¡¯t leave even if you¡¯re beaten to death. You¡¯d rather fight to death than retreat.
"Yes, go out of the city and fight with them. For the sake of your wife, children, and home, you will fight to the death with them."
"Kill! Kill! How can a man survive when his blood is spilled on the battlefield?"
"Give it your best, you Liu Jiajun are not afraid of death, and we soldiers of the Southern Huns are even less afraid of death. The worst we can do is lose our heads"
Zhao Yun¡¯s words aroused tens of thousands of southern Xiongnu. They all clenched their fists and raised their hands high. They were all men of flesh and blood. They all had families, wives and children. Now that Liu's army has come to support them as reinforcements, and they are not afraid of death, how can these Southern Huns retreat and evacuate Jilu Sai.
Looking at the high morale of the Southern Huns army, Zhao Yun nodded, "If you want to win, if you want to raise your head and return in triumph to see your wife, children and family, then follow Zhao and kill. Wherever the sword is directed, kill out. Jedi, drive the barbarians from the Western Regions out of my state."
"With the long sword, we will kill the enemy and drive the barbarians from the Western Regions out of Bingzhou"
"Open the city gate, kill!" Accompanied by the high morale of the army, the city gate slowly opened. As soon as he pointed his spear and said the word "kill", Zhao Yun took the lead to rush out of the city gate, followed closely by the Canglang light cavalry.
The Canglang Army is famous for its light cavalry. The light cavalry in front of them are like a pack of ferocious wolves, and Zhao Yun is the leader of this wolf pack. Wolves are one of the most orderly and disciplined animals in the animal kingdom. They show a strong team spirit. The Canglang Army in front of us is like this, ferocious, united, endurance, perseverance, hard work and so on. Their strength is destined to make their enemies fearful.
"Kill!" Zhao Yun didn't show any mercy. He swept the gentian in his hand and the enemy who blocked him was shot away.
The city gate suddenly opened, and soldiers and horses poured out of the city like a tide, killing the Western Region army by surprise. Zhao Yun led the army straight towards the catapult several hundred meters away.
