Half an hour later, Liu Wei, along with Xue Rengui, Liu Du, and Guo Luo and other guards, left Daihai.

Yang Yi, along with two guards and Li Su, stayed at Daihai, where they led three thousand men to dig and dig!

Liu Wei left Yang Yi behind to supervise the construction.

Although he trusted Li Su, this excavation project was of great importance and needed to be overseen by the person he trusted most.

Li Su was not surprised to see that Liu Wei had left behind three guards.

Before long, Li Su took Liu Wei's message and went to the other side of Daihai.

Sure enough, there were three thousand tall and strong men, full of energy, waiting there.

Among them were large quantities of grain and supplies.

You can set up camp here anytime and start digging mud!

Li Su was utterly astonished.

He had lived and fished by the sea of ​​Dai for many years, but he couldn't understand how these three thousand men from the Central Plains had suddenly appeared here!

When he produced Liu Wei's token, the three thousand men from the Central Plains bowed to him and shouted in unison:

"We await Commander Li's orders!"

Li Su was extremely excited, his blood boiling.

He immediately made a silent vow to do his utmost to complete this crucial task for Liu Wei.

"Everyone, follow me and let's start digging!"

......

When Liu Wei and his party arrived outside Shanwu City, they encountered the archer battalion and a thousand swordsmen and shieldmen retreating from the southwest.

Xue Rengui gave them half a day to hold out, and they would leave once they ran out of arrows.

Therefore, it seems that they have already accomplished their mission objectives.

So everyone quickly entered the city, set up guards at all four gates, and stood ready for battle.

Needless to say, the Xiongnu will soon be at the city gates!

Liu Wei and Xue Rengui immediately went to the western city wall.

It turned out that these four thousand Great Wall troops used the earthen wall, which was ten feet high and piled up overnight, to resist the attack of the Xiongnu.

Within half a day, they repelled five rounds of attacks organized by General Wang.

Relying on the terrain and superior equipment, the Xiongnu suffered hundreds of corpses in each attack and retreated in despair.

The intervals between each attack are getting longer and longer.

By the fifth round, more than 1,500 of King Jianwang's 5,000 men had died.

Every other soldier was wounded.

This level is like a small steel bean; no matter how hard you try, you can't break it!

As King Jianjiang looked at the soldiers standing like javelins on the wall, he lost confidence in launching a sixth attack.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is too powerful. Our troops suffered heavy losses and were unable to take them down!"

King Jiang gradually ordered the dejected soldiers to rest on the spot and sent someone to report to Qiang Qu.

When Qiangqu learned that Jianjiang Wang had fought for a long time without achieving anything, he cursed loudly.

The valley entrance is only so big; at most, only five or six hundred people can launch an attack at a time.

The Xiongnu army numbered forty to fifty thousand, stretching for more than ten miles through the valley.

Unexpectedly, I was choked here.

It's like a train being blocked by a landslide.

If we stay in this valley for too long, what if Shan Wu's Han army comes and sets it on fire again? Wouldn't that be terrible?

We must pass through quickly and reach the city of Shanwu.

Qiangqu had no choice but to send 500 of his personal guards to assist in the attack.

These are Xiongnu warriors selected from various tribes; each one is tall, mighty, and as strong as an ox.

In any other place, he could at least serve as a centurion.

Qiangqu's guards numbered three thousand men, and their equipment was far superior to that of other Xiongnu cavalry!

They were responsible for guarding the royal tent and were the core force that enabled Qiangqu to become the Chanyu. They were absolutely loyal to Qiangqu.

Most importantly, they were not only clad in iron armor and wielded bronze shields and sharp blades, but also enjoyed the best treatment given to them by the Qiangqu.

Moreover, whenever they went to plunder, the women they captured were given to them first to satisfy their lust!

This made their fighting power explode!

They don't usually make a move easily, but when they do, it's a bloodbath.

When King Jian saw that Qiangqu had sent his guards to fight, he prepared to come over and greet them!

Unexpectedly, the commander of these five hundred guards was a cavalry captain. He looked contemptuously at the retreating King Jian and his troops, and mocked:

"Get out of the way, you poached chicken! Behold the bravery of our Imperial Guard!"

Wang and his men could only swallow their anger and gesture to the wounded soldiers behind them to make way for them.

Although he was a commander of ten thousand cavalry, he unconsciously lowered his head by half in front of the commander of a thousand cavalry in the Imperial Guard.

Who told them they couldn't even take down a small, broken wall!

Moreover, the security captain next to the boss, who was gradually turning into Wang, the professional manager sent from abroad, was someone they dared not offend.

However, while outwardly flattering Wang, he inwardly sneered:

"Don't be so arrogant now, you'll behave yourselves once you get a beating!"

The fighting strength of the Han army on the other side was extraordinary.

The commander of the Imperial Guards walked to the front of the column and saw the wall three hundred paces away, and the Han Chinese soldiers standing behind it.

With a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, he roared, "Warriors, charge with me!"

Roars like those of wild beasts echoed through the valley as the guards, holding bronze shields, charged forward in close formation.

However, to King Jian's astonishment, the Han army on the other side did not launch any arrow attacks, nor did they make any other move.

It wasn't until the guards stormed up the earthen wall that they discovered the anomaly.

"Hahaha, this is a bunch of helmets and armor piled on top of wooden stakes!"

"When they saw our guards go into battle, they ran away in fear!"

What?

King Jian was extremely depressed and so angry that he vomited blood.

If I had known this would happen, I would have organized an attack!
