"The ants shake the big tree!" Liu Meng sneered. It seems that this Cao Liang is really overestimating his capabilities. He thought he was invincible after taking a few cities and defeating the Huns in the south and left.

If you dare to fight them in Dongguan, it's just the right time. It also saves Liu Meng from moving forward. It will be much easier to deal with them first and then take back Qixian County.

"Send the order and prepare to attack!" Liu Meng ordered loudly.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Originally, this time of day was the most aggressive period for the Huns to attack. Relying on their large number of soldiers and capital, the Huns attacked Jinyang City like a tidal wave.

But today it was unusually quiet, so quiet that Tian Yu felt a little unreal.

For an old man who is already over 70 years old, wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms and climbing to the top of the city to command operations for many days is indeed a heavy burden.

What's more, the weather is still so hot. When Tian Yu takes off his armor every day, Tian Yu's underwear is completely soaked with sweat, and he is so tired that he feels like he is exhausted.

But Tian Yu will still appear on the top of the city the next day, commanding the city firmly, because he knows very well that he must not fall. If he cannot hold up and falls, Jinyang City will probably be doomed.

Because of this, Tian Yucai persisted. Even though his physical strength and energy were seriously exhausted, he never left the city of Jinyang.

But unexpectedly, the Huns did not launch another attack today. The city wall that was originally filled with the sound of fighting was silent at the moment. This was really strange.

Tian Yu climbed up and looked into the distance. The Huns' camps in the distance seemed to have become deserted. Some tents were still there, and some had even been dismantled. It seemed that the Huns had disappeared overnight.

What is going on? Tian Yu was a little confused. It stands to reason that the Huns were attacking urgently at this time, and they could not withdraw because of exhaustion.

Perhaps this was a trap by the Huns. It is also possible that the Huns were unable to attack for a long time and deliberately pretended to withdraw their troops to lure the Wei army out of the city to pursue them. The Huns set up an ambush halfway. Once the Wei army's pursuers entered them,

If you enter the ambush circle, you will be attacked by them.

This tactic of luring a snake out of its hole is no longer a new tactic. It has been used by military strategists of all ages. As a veteran on the battlefield, Tian Yu will definitely not make such a second-rate mistake.

Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, the Wei army can only rely on the solid and thick city walls of Jinyang to deal with the Huns. Once they are caught in a field battle, the advantages of the Huns' cavalry can be fully utilized to enhance the enemy's strengths.

Self-denial, Tian Yu would never do such a loss-making business.

So Tian Yu ordered all the troops to continue to guard the city wall, and at the same time pay close attention to the Huns' movements, in order to prevent the Huns from taking advantage of the laxity of the defenders to suddenly kill a carbine.

As for Tian Yu, he could take off his helmet to get some air. As for the armor on his body, it was difficult to put on and take off, so Tian Yu had no intention of taking it off.

At this moment, soldiers suddenly came to report that a group of people came outside the west city gate, all dressed as civilians. The leader said he was an old friend of Governor Tian and came to pay a special visit.

Tian Yu couldn't help but wonder, why would an old friend still come to visit at this time? Could this be a trick of the Huns?

Tian Yu was at the South City Gate at the moment. When he heard someone outside the West City Gate asking to see him, he immediately rushed to the West City Gate. If he was really an old friend of his, he would personally welcome him into the city. If the Huns wanted to defraud the city, Tian Yu

Yu will definitely deal with it without mercy.

When he arrived at the west city gate, Tian Yu lowered his head and looked down. There were not many people under the city, only about a dozen, all dressed as civilians.

Seeing this scene, Tian Yu also relaxed a little. Even if the people under the city were spies of the Huns, it was impossible to expect that such a few people could capture or disrupt Jinyang City.

Before Tian Yu could ask a question, someone in the city chuckled and said, "Brother Guorang, are you okay when you come?"

Tian Yu took a closer look and saw that it was Huan Fan, who had a friendship with him before. He couldn't help being happy and ordered the city gates to be opened to welcome Huan Fan into the city.

"Brother Yuan Ze, what gust of wind brought you here?" Tian Yu said with a smile.

Tian Yu knew that Huan Fan refused to be the shepherd of Jizhou and had been idle at home. However, since the Xiongnu rebellion, Jinyang has become an isolated island with no news. Although Tian Yu sent people to Luoyang several times to ask for help, nothing happened.

There has been no news from Ta, and even now there is not even a trace of reinforcements.

Huan Fan suddenly arrived at the city. Tian Yu couldn't help but suspect that Huan Fan was the reinforcement sent by the imperial court, but it didn't look like it. There were more than ten reinforcements, and they were still wearing ordinary people's clothes. It felt like Huan Fan was not here to rescue.

, seems to be here for a trip.

But no matter what, meeting an old friend in a foreign country is a rare and happy event. What's more, although Huan Fan was not well-known in the court, he spoke uprightly and saved Tian Yu a few years ago in Qingzhou.

With this level of human kindness, Tian Yu was naturally very polite to Huan Fan.

"My little brother has come all the way just to save the country and save his brother from misery!" Huan Fan chuckled.

Tian Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "Could it be that Yuan Ze was ordered by the imperial court to send aid to Bingzhou?"

Huan Fan said: "There is another person who came to help Bingzhou. Huan is not talented, so he served as the military advisor to offer wine to the army and assisted General Pingbei here."

Tian Yu had a look of surprise on his face and said: "Suwen Yuanze has an arrogant temperament and is unwilling to submit to General Lu Zhaozhi of Zhenbei. Why are you willing to serve as someone else's staff this time? Who is this General Pingbei?"

Huan Fan deliberately did not disclose it, but said: "Since April, the Pingbei Army has marched northward, even defeating Puzi, Zishi, Daling, and Qixian. With more than 10,000 infantry, it defeated the Xiongnu's 100,000 people.

What do you think, brother?"

Tian Yu exclaimed: "It turns out that the reinforcements have arrived. No wonder the Huns fled in a hurry. Could it be that Yuan Ze came to retaliate, and I was still kept in the dark? In February, he conquered four cities in a row, and his true name is also the demeanor of a general."

Apart from Taifu Sima, there is probably no other person in the dynasty who has such a talent. However, if Taifu Sima takes command and goes on an expedition, he will definitely be the governor. General Pingbei is probably not worthy of such a low title. Brother Yuanze, there is no need to show off.

, who is this General Pingbei now? It’s okay for you to speak out. He really wants to make friends with you."
