Chapter 214 Wuhuan invades! Nie Lie dies in battle!

Zhenyan City.

This is the second city occupied by Qin Yuan.

It is also one of the northernmost cities in Pingyun County.

Even in Pingyun County, Gongsun Zan and Qin Yuan, and the player's army were fighting fiercely, but the war still did not spread to Zhenyan City.

In Qin Yuan's territory.

Except for one city that was forcibly captured by Gongsun Zan, the other cities did not face much threat.

After all, Qin Yuan occupies Pingyun County and controls the main transportation hub.

Gongsun Zan's attempt to cross the county seat and attack the city behind could only be successful once or twice at most.

If it happens too many times and Qin Yuan discovers his traces, he will definitely be surrounded.

Therefore, cities like Zhenyan City, Yuncheng City, etc. in the north can be regarded as a pure land, far away from the smoke of gunpowder.

On the city wall, there are night-time soldiers patrolling on a daily basis.

It was late at night.

Suddenly, the city wall shook violently, and the drowsy soldiers suddenly woke up.

They looked outside the city, and through the darkness, they could still see a wave of black shadow, quickly approaching Zhenyan City.

How could the army arrive so late?

Could it be the troops sent by Qin Yuan? But they did not receive the relevant notification.

Or was Gongsun Zan's cavalry attacking the city?

It is possible.

However, it stands to reason that Gongsun Zan would not do this.

After all, cities and everything are imaginary.

If you want to put down the rebels, you must rely on hard power to eliminate Qin Yuan's large army.

As for capturing some cities, it doesn't make much sense.

Moreover, although Zhenyan City was the second city occupied by Qin Yuan, there were not many defenders inside, only four to five thousand people.

There are many cities like this.

At most, these troops are only responsible for the daily security work of the city, and it is impossible to resist the attack of a powerful army.

Qin Yuan is also very aware of this.

Therefore, there were not too many defenses on these cities.

Instead, most of the troops were mobilized in the county town.

In his opinion, whether it was Yuncheng, Zhenyan City, or other cities, if Gongsun Zan wanted to cross the county seat and capture it, it would be difficult for him to stop him.

The more troops deployed, the greater the losses will be.

It took several days for the player's coalition forces to fight Gongsun Zan before they realized that they had to unite their forces in one place.

Qin Yuan had thought of this a long time ago.

Therefore, even if faced with the threat of Gongsun Zan's more than 200,000 cavalry, Qin Yuan did not lose too many troops.

As for the city, if Gongsun Zan wants to capture it, then give it to him.

Moreover, once the city is captured, dividing troops to defend it will disperse the rear forces, which is what Qin Yuan wants to see.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan did not do this.

Except for the first four cities that were attacked by force, the other cities were not captured by the cavalry army, but by the siege armies behind them one by one.

Woohoo!

Under the night sky, loud horn sounds sounded in Zhenyan City.

Regardless of whether the army outside the city is Gongsun Zan's army or Qin Yuan's, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

As Zhenyan City, it is the first line of defense to guard the north. The soldiers here have experienced many wars, so they are even more vigilant.

As the horn sounded, the sleeping soldiers in the barracks were immediately awakened. They quickly put on their clothes and armor, picked up their weapons, rushed out of the camp, and joined together.

After a while, a tall and mighty general stood on the city wall.

This person is Nie Lie.

He is the garrison general of Zhenyan City.

When Qin Yuan attacked Zhenyan City, Nie Lie led his army to join Qin Yuan.

Its military capabilities are pretty good.

Qin Yuan once wanted him to follow him to conquer Pingyun County.

But Nie Lie refused.

His reason was that he had sworn an oath to stay on the Han border forever and resist foreign enemies.

In this regard, Qin Yuan did not force it. He respected everyone's decision.

Of course, one thing is that Nie Lie himself is a military commander.

Therefore, he will no longer change his profession to become a general in the Temple of War.

His loyalty is actually not die-hard loyalty.

In response, Qin Yuan asked him to stay in Zhenyan City and still serve as a garrison general.

"General, there are enemies outside the city!"

"Judging from the movement, it should be a large group of cavalry!"

A centurion said to Nie Lie, "Could it be Gongsun Zan who sent troops to attack the city?"

Now everyone knows that Gongsun Zan is leading an army to fight against the "rebels" in Pingyun County.

Although Qin Yuan occupied most of the cities, his attitude towards the common people was pretty good.

However, after all, this world still belongs to the Han Dynasty, and people's hearts still yearn for the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy.

The people were forced to surrender to the rule of Qingfeng Village.

Inwardly, most people still prefer the Han Dynasty.

After all, the Han Dynasty has ruled for hundreds of years and its orthodox status has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it cannot be changed overnight.

Even during the period when the princes were fighting for hegemony, there were still many famous generals and good ministers whose hearts belonged to the Han Dynasty.

"Unlikely!"

"If I were Gongsun Zan, I wouldn't be able to cross several cities and hundreds of miles away to attack Zhenyan City!"

"After all, Zhenyan City is not an important city!"

"Based on my analysis, Gongsun Zan's focus must be on conquering Pingyun County."

Nie Lie shook his head and said, "Moreover, even if Gongsun Zan's cavalry attacks, shouldn't they attack from the south of the city?"

"Never again, we will attack the east and west walls!"

"How could it be possible that he made a special circle and came from the northern city!"

Although Nie Lie did not participate in the war in Pingyun County, he has been paying attention to the changes in the situation.

However, he had no intention of rebelling against Qin Yuan.

First, he has become Qin Yuan's subordinate, loyal to Qin Yuan, and will not do anything against Qin Yuan because of the justice of the court.

The second is that he still maintains his original intention in his heart. He just wants to stay in Zhenyan City forever and resist the invasion of aliens. As for other things, he doesn't want to get too involved.

"That's a foreign race!"

The centurion woke up and said.

If Zhenyan City was attacked in the past, he would definitely think of the aliens outside the Great Wall.

But it was because of the war in Pingyun County that they subconsciously invaded this point.

As he finished speaking, the army outside the city was approaching.

He is a tall, tall, and bearded alien soldier!

Judging from their appearance, clothing and weapons, they are clearly the cavalry of the Wuhuan tribe!

They had fought against the Wuhuan cavalry many times.

Every year at the beginning of autumn, Wuhuan or Xianbei would invade Youzhou and plunder money and food to ensure that the tribe could survive the winter.

In previous years, the Wuhuan and other foreign tribes would have invaded long ago.

This year seems a bit unusual. About half a month into autumn, there is still no sign of the Wuhuan people.
