Chapter 440(1/2)

Yuzhou, Yingchuan County.

Outside Xuchang City, the camps of 70,000 to 80,000 Huns were crisscrossed, controlling the important roads outside Xuchang City was extremely tightly.

Since someone broke through the siege and escaped in the city last time, Liu Jing, the King of Liang of the Xiongnu, immediately ordered the increased alertness.

He strictly ordered that any Jin army in the city would not be allowed to break through successfully, otherwise all the Xiongnu soldiers who were responsible for the guarding were held accountable!

Not only that, after receiving reinforcements from Shi Hu and Wang Zhang, Liu Jing also ordered to step up the attack on the outer forts and cities.

More than ten powerful forts were forced to surrender and contributed a large amount of food, supplies and population.

"When Xuchang City is broken, I will definitely wash my blood for three days without sealing my sword!"

Liu Jing, the King of Liang of the Huns, immediately stood in the army and looked at Xuchang City not far away and said hatefully.

The Xiongnu forced the surrendered Jin people to attack Xuchang City repeatedly. This is the fifth time today, but they were repelled by the defenders.

Thousands of people of Jin who were crying and wailing fled back in the direction of the city, and the Hun soldiers who were escorting the formation in the rear could no longer suppress them.

"Don't worry, there are no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside. This Xuchang City will not take long and will definitely be taken down!"

Wang Zhang said very confidently.

As the city docks and forts outside Yingchuan were captured and subjugated one by one, they had more manpower and material resources, and the siege of Xuchang was also tightened.

Especially the prisoners who broke through the Jin army before revealed the virtual and real situation in the city.

Everyone already knows that the food and grass in Xuchang City have been used for less than a month.

"There are 60,000 to 70,000 people in Xuchang. Eliminating the elderly and weak, there are 30,000 to 40,000 young and strong men and women! Only these people will be left at that time, and the rest will be killed to nourish morale!"

Shi Hu said excitedly from the side.

When Shi Hu said this, some Qiang and Hu heroes also showed the same excited expression.

These Qiang and Hu were the first to enter the Central Plains to plunder. Although Liang King Liu Jing has been dissatisfied with the results of the war for several months, the recent series of achievements have already made these Qiang and Hu who are afraid of being poor and very satisfied.

When I thought of breaking a big city like Xuchang, even if there was almost no food or grass inside, the remaining silk, money and women were enough to make the Qiang, Hu and the heroes and heroes become greedy.

"Haha, this is natural!"

King Liang Liu Jing smiled slightly. In fact, he was very dissatisfied with the young and arrogant Shi Hu. This Shi Hu was strong and domineering. Relying on his strong military strength, he gradually became contemptuous of himself who could not win.

He always wanted to find an opportunity to embarrass Shi Hu and relieve his anger.

We must let these lowly Jie Hu understand who is the master!

"After the city is broken, I will distribute all the money and reward me fairly. Everyone should do their best to do their best!" King Liang Liu Jing said loudly again, in order to demonstrate the prestige of his head coach.

Some of the generals around agreed in unison.

At this time, all the retreating Jin people all returned to the front.

Many people lost their weapons during the retreat, but just stood there blankly with their hands.

Wang Zhang came to Liang Wang Liu Jing and said.

"King, send them to attack again. The Jin barbarians who guard the city seem to have a lot of strength!"

At this time, the Jin army war drums at the top of Xuchang city sounded, and the soldiers shouted, as if they were mocking the Huns.

Seeing this, King Liang Liu Jing nodded.

He never thought of relying on these Jin people to conquer Xuchang, just to consume the arrows and strength of the defenders.

However, King Liu Jing of Liang did not immediately order the whole formation again, but instead ordered the generals beside him first.

"Go and arrest all the Jin people who lost their weapons in their hands!"

"Beheading!"

The Hun general immediately took the order and left.

Soon, a group of Xiongnu soldiers rushed forward and escorted all the Jin people who had no weapons in their hands to the front of the formation.

Dozens of people were lined up and fell to the ground.

"The king has an order! Those who dare to destroy weapons will be killed without mercy!"

"Give you lowly Jin people another chance to make up for your merits!"

Ding Zhuang, a native of Jin, who had been numb, all stared blankly at these ferocious captives.

"Execution!"

The Hun general waved his hand, dozens of long swords fell down, and a flurry of blood fog burst out.

After a while, these walking corpses, the two men from Jin, once again, carried simple tools and rushed towards Xuchang City under the urging of the war drum horn.

Another failure without any suspense. After nearly a thousand casualties, Ding Zhuang, a native of Jin, who had no fighting spirit, retreated again.

King Liu Jing of Liang was not discouraged at all. Anyway, he was the ones who died in Jin, so he didn't feel sorry for him at all.

Liu Jing looked up at the sun and found that it was still early and wanted to rest for a while before forcing the Jin people to charge again.

Anyway, his own army's food and grass were not very rich, and he could save some food if he died more than a strong Jin family.

When Xuchang was captured, there were more prisoners of Dingzhuang to replenish.

Just when Liu Jing, the King of Liang of the Huns, wanted to order again, a Huns' horse-striking cavalry ran over from behind.

These are the thoughts of King Liu Jing of Liang, so naturally no one stopped them.

As soon as he saw King Liu Jing of Liang, the horse-striking leader immediately jumped off his horse and knelt down and said.

"King, a cavalry was found in the northeast, coming towards Xuchang!"

When he heard this, Liu Jing, Wang Zhang, Shi Hu and other Qiang and Hu generals were stunned.

There were actually enemy reinforcements coming.

"How many people are there?" asked King Liang Liu Jing.

"At least three to five thousand, maybe more!" said the Ranger leader.

"Damn it! How much is it!"

When King Liang Liu Jing heard such an unreliable answer, he immediately scolded him.

"King, those thieves and raccoons are also very powerful. The little people cannot move forward. I don't know how many there are behind. I only know that there are about three thousand in front." The leader of the raccoon said with a bitter face.

At this time, Liu Jing, the King of Liang of the Xiongnu, discovered that he had several minor injuries on his body, and it was obvious that he had fought.

"Where has the thief been under the banner??" Wang Zhang asked immediately.

He already had a bad premonition that the reinforcements from the north were definitely not the Jin army, but the troops of Liu Yu, the Han Dynasty of Qingzhou.

Liu Yu had few cavalry under his command, but they were all elite cavalry.

Although there are 60,000 or 70,000 people gathered here now, most of them are light-armored herd slaves, and the number of people who can be called war soldiers is less than 10,000 at most.

If it were a soldier who was similar to the Qingzhou elite cavalry, he would probably not be able to find even three or four thousand people.

"The thief did not have a big flag, but they were all one person and two horses. The rangers were also well-known in bows and horses. At this time, they should have arrived at the Dongying River Ferry!"

When they heard this answer, Wang Zhang and Shi Hu both felt a terrified.

These soldiers and horses hide their flags, which must be to hide their whereabouts, in order to launch a surprise attack.

Since there is the plan for this surprise attack, it must have come with combat power. Otherwise, how could a mere three or five thousand cavalry dare to challenge tens of thousands of people?

"It's bad, this must be the cavalry of the Qingzhou thieves!" Shi Hu's face turned pale.

Over the past few years, almost all the defeats were given to Shi Hu by these Qingzhou soldiers and horses, and he had already felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

If he had led his army to intersperse guerrilla warfare, Shi Hu would still have some courage, but in the face of such a fierce frontal battle, Shi Hu could not raise the courage.

"King, Xuchang can't be captured anymore. Let's take the baggage and run away!" Shi Hu said anxiously.

Seeing that Shi Hu, who was so arrogant in the past, was so scared that he acted like this, Liu Jing, the King of Liang of the Huns, couldn't help but feel very contemptuous.

The lowly Jie Hu is indeed useless. He was so scared when he heard some rumors. It was really useless!

"The thief captives are just thousands of soldiers, what's there to be afraid of?"

Liu Jing scolded loudly.

"There are tens of thousands of troops alone, how can there be a reason to be afraid!"

Some Qiang and Hu generals immediately started to make excuses.

Wang Zhang had the same thoughts as Shi Hu, and he leaned over to King Liang Liu Jing and said.

"King, if these bandits are one man and two horses, they must have a lot of armored equipment. Maybe they are elite soldiers wearing armor!"

"Elite soldiers in armor?" When Liang King Liu Jing heard this, he began to pay attention.

The elite soldiers of the Huns and Han countries were also elite soldiers equipped with horses, but the number was only a few thousand.

"Yes, the thief has sufficient treasury, and they are often equipped with men and horses. Our army is now light cavalry, and I'm afraid it's not their opponent!" Wang Zhang advised again.

In Runan area, he finally gathered some old refugees, which could be regarded as a way to restore some strength.

Wang Zhang didn't want to consume these troops in vain.
