Once upon a time, when Tian Yu jumped on his horse to the northern frontier, the barbarians were frightened by the news and did not dare to attack him. However, when they saw Tian Yu's flag, they were afraid to avoid him.

But now, he is indeed old. Faced with the Xiongnu rebellion that is growing like wildfire, Tian Yu has no choice but to stop it, and he is retreating steadily, losing almost all the cities except Jinyang City. Such a bad record

, it can be described as a great shame and humiliation in his life.

Now is no longer the time for Tian Yu to dwell on his past great achievements. What is before him is whether he can save the critical moment of Wanjie. If Jinyang City is also lost, Tian Yu will not only lose Wanjie, but may even die.

Can't do it.

Therefore, facing the aggressive offensive of the Huns, Tian Yu could only take a defensive position and shrink all his forces to Jinyang for the final defense.

But at this moment, Liu Meng, who crossed the Fen River from Yuci to attack Jinyang, was full of energy and full of ambition. He was determined to win two things this time, one was the city of Jinyang, and the other was the position of Shan Yu.

In Liu Meng's view, there was no doubt that Jinyang City could be captured. Due to the fall of almost all the surrounding counties and cities, Jinyang has long become an isolated city. An isolated city cannot be defended. This is the most basic military common sense. Liu Meng

There is no doubt that they cannot take Jinyang City.

But the most important thing is not this. According to the agreement of the four Xiongnu tribes, he entered Jinyang City first and became the Xiongnu Chanyu.

Liu Meng has been coveting the position of Chanyu for more than a day or two. After the death of the previous Chanyu Huchuquan, the Wei court stopped canonizing new Chanyus in order to achieve the long-term purpose of dividing the Hungarian garrison.

The position of Xiongnu Chanyu has been vacant for a long time.

The fact that the imperial court did not confer a title did not mean that the Huns did not want to sit in this position. This Xiongnu rebellion undoubtedly gave those who had been coveting Shan Yu's position an excellent opportunity.

The position of the Chanyu was always inherited by the Huns themselves. When will it be the Han people's turn to dictate? This time after the Huns capture Bingzhou, a new Chanyu will be born to unify all the Xiongnu tribes. The restoration has been glorious.

The Huns Dynasty.

The Huns on Liu Meng's right were one of the most powerful among the five tribes. Liu Meng, as the initiator of this rebellion, became a strong competitor for the new Chanyu.

Normally, the commanders of the five ministries all have the hope of being promoted to the Shanyu. However, due to the uneven development of each ministry over the years, a pattern has gradually formed where the left and right ministries rise to prominence, while the other three ministries become mere foils. Therefore, the position of Shanyu is

Competition is actually the competition between Liu Meng and Liu Bao.

In order to compete for the control of the various tribes of the Xiongnu, Liu Meng and Liu Bao had been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, and they were already on the same level. In order to resolve the dispute once and for all, Liu Meng took the initiative to propose that the first person to enter Jinyang would be the Shanyu, who could give orders to the various tribes of the Xiongnu.

Jinyang City is the state capital of Bingzhou. It has tall walls and strong defenses. It will definitely not be easy to take it down. The Huns on Liu Meng's right are strong and naturally they are the main force in attacking the city. The reason why Liu Meng dared to make such an agreement is,

Then he is at least 60% sure.

The only variable is Liu Bao. The strength of the left part of the Xiongnu is equal to that of the right part, and its attack ability is not inferior to that of the right part. It is really hard to say who will break through Jinyang City first. This is why Liu Bao readily agreed to this.

The reason for the agreement.

But God is not as good as man, and this time Liu Bao really miscalculated. Just when other troops were marching towards Jinyang in full swing, Liu Bao got the news that Wei army reinforcements were marching towards Zishi.

The old nest could not be lost, so Liu Bao had to lead his army to retreat south to break the siege of the Zi family. His departure was tantamount to withdrawing from the competition for the position of Shan Yu.

This is simply great news for Liu Meng. His biggest competitor is gone, and the remaining departments are no match for Liu Meng. It seems that this time his dream for many years is about to come true.

Liu Meng was extremely excited.

Of course, before ascending to the throne of Shan Yu, Liu Meng still needs to do one thing, and that is to capture Jinyang City. In Jinyang City, his coronation ceremony will be held. When the time comes to congratulate him, it is Liu Meng's.

final goal.

After the Xiongnu army on the right crossed the Fen River, their horses did not stop and directly launched a fierce attack towards the east gate of Jinyang.

More than 20,000 troops came from all over the mountains and plains. When they climbed up the east city wall, they could see the Huns rushing toward Jinyang City like black crows.

In order to boost morale, Liu Meng offered a huge reward. This reward was different from other rewards of money and property. Instead, Liu Meng promised that whoever was the first to conquer Jinyang would be rewarded with the position of commander of the Huns on the right.

.

As for Liu Meng, as long as he can be the first to set foot in Jinyang, he will be the new Xiongnu Chanyu, and the position of the right commander will be vacant.

As for Liu Meng's other identity, King Youxian, he was promised to Liu Jiao, the commander-in-chief of the central government. As long as Liu Jiao supported him and Liu Meng was promoted to Shanyu, he would give the position of King Youxian to Liu Jiao.

A heavy reward must be given to a brave man, so Liu Meng offered an unprecedented reward, which naturally made the Huns soldiers scream with excitement, eager to step onto the top of the city of Jinyang in one step.

This reward was too tempting. In the past, the rewards of the Huns were nothing more than land, cattle, sheep, and slaves. But this time, Liu Meng directly took out the seat where he sat. The commander on the right was so eye-catching, so he couldn't be tempted.

It's all difficult.

The Xiongnu soldiers became excited, which was more effective than chicken blood. Although their offensive weapons were only some simple ladders, this could not stop their enthusiasm to advance. They surged towards the east wall of Jinyang like a tide.

And rushed towards the city.

Seventy-two-year-old Tian Yu is still wearing a military uniform. Although the heavy armor makes him breathless, Tian Yu has no intention of going down to the city to rest because he knows what this battle means to Jinyang City.

What are you looking for? Even if he is overwhelmed, he must hold on to the top of the city to boost morale and never let Jinyang lose anything.

The battle became intense at the beginning. The Huns soldiers climbed up the ladder fearlessly and tried their best to reach the top of the city.

However, the defense preparations of the Wei army's defenders were still extremely complete. They not only prepared a large number of bows and arrows, rolling logs, and hammered stones, but also prepared a large amount of boiling water and boiling oil. They smashed them all down, causing the Huns to scream incessantly and cause heavy casualties.

, in less than an hour, corpses were strewn everywhere under Jinyang City, and rivers of blood flowed.

However, there were so many casualties in front of them, but they still could not stop the Xiongnu soldiers' desire to attack. They trampled on the corpses of their companions and launched rounds of violent attacks towards Jinyang City.
