Chapter 114 Chanyu: The advantage is mine!

Just as Hu Zheng Chanyu was stroking his long sword and thinking about the future,

a burly, armored man walked into the royal tent, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Great Chanyu, when will we launch the attack?"

This man was a pioneer general of the grassland barbarians, named Qi Wushu.

"How far is the infantry from the cavalry camp?" Hu Zheng Chanyu put away his long sword and asked.

"In less than thirty days, 250,000 warriors will be able to join the vanguard." Qi Wushu was still kneeling on the ground, reporting the situation on the front line, "The materials needed for siege equipment have also been prepared, and the equipment for preliminary siege can be produced in two days at the latest."

"Very good!" Hu Zheng Chanyu nodded and smiled, "We don't have to worry, after the troops are joined, we can steadily make siege equipment. There should be less than 10,000 soldiers in Yunshu County, and they will definitely not dare to go out of the city to attack our warriors."

"Yes, great Chanyu!" Qi Wushu kowtowed, "After five days, all the materials should be consumed and the most siege equipment can be produced. We only need one more day of rest to launch the attack."

"Okay, then start the siege in six days!" Hu Zheng Chanyu was in a very good mood, stood up, looked south with his sword, and smiled, "In any case, 300,000 against 10,000, the advantage is on me!"

...

In the city of Yunshu County.

Hui Shi, as the governor of the state who was appointed as the inspector of six counties, has taken over all military and political affairs here.

Chen Tong, as a military officer, worked with him to prepare for war.

The cavalry of the grassland barbarians should not be underestimated.

Moreover, according to the latest news from the scouts, the 50,000 barbarian cavalry are only the vanguard, and there are more than 200,000 infantry behind them.

God knows where the grassland barbarians get the resources to support so many soldiers.

Hui Shi thought he could defeat tens of thousands of cavalry with one enemy and ten thousand, but it was unknown whether he could beat 50,000 cavalry.

Although he has the dragon pattern engraved with the Heavenly Dragon Great Power Bodhisattva Fist on his body, and possesses the power to crush the gods, his own martial arts cultivation is only at the top of the inner realm after all, and he cannot continuously replenish the power of the dragon pattern. If the battle lasts too long, he will be exhausted.

If a large army really wants to fight, it still depends on the soldiers at hand.

On the top of the city wall, the cold wind is howling.

Chen Tongyao looked into the distance and saw a vast expanse of land, which is a very suitable area for cavalry to charge.

Although the cavalry cannot be used to attack the city, they can provide cover for the more than 200,000 infantry behind them, so that the rear can have sufficient time to prepare siege equipment.

When the barbarians transport the siege equipment, the siege will begin.

There are only 8,000 regular soldiers in Yunzhong County now, because a large number of soldiers were transferred when the King of Yan was in chaos, and they have not returned yet.

8,000 people guarding hundreds of thousands of people!

It must be extremely tragic!

Therefore, Chen Tong wrote to Cui Heng and asked for the right to recruit soldiers, allowing him to recruit soldiers in Yunshu County.

Only by recruiting enough soldiers can they have a chance to defend this Yunshu County.

Otherwise, everything is just empty talk.

"Fujun, how do you plan to fight this battle?" Chen Tong asked Hui Shi beside him.

"If the reply from the envoy arrives before these barbarians attack the city, we will naturally follow your arrangements." Hui Shi's idea was extremely simple. He looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "If the reply does not arrive, I will go out of the city and kill him."

"Indeed, this is the only way." Chen Tong nodded, turned around and looked into the city. He could clearly hear the sound of military training not far away, "Prefect Meng has started training his soldiers. Shall we go and take a look?"

"Let's go." Hui Shi nodded.

...

The prefect of Yunshu County is named Meng Zhang.

He is now 57 years old, but he is still very strong. He trains his soldiers in person and shouts with full energy.

"Son!" Meng Zhang stood in front of the 8,000 soldiers in armor and shouted loudly, "The barbarians are at the gate of the city, trying to break through our walls, rob our food, kill our sons, and snatch our wives and daughters! What should we do!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill those barbarians!"

The 8,000 soldiers were furious, their faces flushed and they roared.

They were basically local people in Yunshu County, their parents, relatives, wives and children were all here.

If the barbarians broke the city, the consequences would be disastrous.

Twenty-eight years ago, Yunshu County was still in the hands of the grassland barbarians.

Many of these 8,000 soldiers were born in that era. They often heard their elders talk about that miserable life, and some soldiers even experienced that era personally.

Everyone knows very well what kind of life it is to live under the rule of the grassland barbarians.

No, not living!

Just surviving!

At that time, the people here even had a luxury to live well.

Especially women.

As long as they are over ten years old, they will basically become the playthings of the barbarians.

It's like living in hell.

We must defend Yunshu County City!

Meng Zhang looked at the angry soldiers and felt very relieved.

But he was not happy at all.

He knew very well that once the war broke out and the defense of the city began, the 8,000 soldiers in front of him would surely be killed in large numbers, and it was unknown whether there would be 2,000 left in the end.

However, as the governor of Yunshu County, he had to be strong enough. Facing these soldiers, he continued to shout loudly: "That's right! Kill those barbarians!

"This is our home. There is no place to retreat. We can't hide or escape. We can only fight to the death and defend this city to have hope of survival!"

He was born a soldier. He

knew the importance of Yunshu County very well.

This is the northern gateway of Fengzhou. Without Yunshu County, the northern barbarians can enter at any time and plunder freely.

The whole Fengzhou will become defenseless.

Twenty-eight years ago, Meng Zhang followed Zhenbei General Chen Pengju to the north to attack the barbarians and recaptured Yunshu County, which had fallen into the hands of the barbarians. Only then did they completely recover the entire Fengzhou.

Before that, although Fengzhou was nominally the territory of Dajin, it had actually long been the back garden of the northern barbarians, who could enter and leave as they pleased and ravage it.

Moreover, Yunshu County also had pastures for raising horses, which could block the Qianfeng Mountain from the army.

Fengzhou with Yunshu County was considered Dajin's Fengzhou. Fengzhou without Yunshu County was just a little girl that could be invaded by the barbarians at any time.

Yunshu County must not be lost again!

At this time, Hui Shi and Chen Tong came over, but did not disturb Meng Zhang's training, but waited quietly on the side.

After Meng Zhang finished a round of training, he came to the two of them, bowed his hands, and asked, "My two lords, how is the situation outside the city?"

At first, he was a little dissatisfied with these two officers from Changfeng Prefecture.

But after getting to know them, he found that they were both dedicated to the people, so they became harmonious.

In particular, Meng Zhang also found that Hui Shi's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Chen Pengju.

This made him and Hui Shi much closer.

There was basically no conflict.

Hui Shi said in a deep voice: "There are often barbarian scouts roaming outside the city. They must be checking our defense of the city. If there is something, they will shoot arrows, send messages, and make some misleading remarks."

Chen Tong nodded and said solemnly: "The most common fabrication by local scouts these two days is that the Emperor of Dajin has issued an edict to cede Fengzhou to their Hu Zheng Chanyu.

"Although this matter is as unbelievable as the Arabian Nights, it has spread among the army and the people. I ask the governor Meng to pay more attention and not let the soldiers and the people be misled by it."

Only a fool would cede a state to the grassland barbarians for no reason.

No one in Yunshu County believed it.

"Those who spread this news should be punished! "Meng Zhang's expression was extremely gloomy. Such a psychological attack strategy did not seem like something that a group of barbarians could do. Could it be that someone was secretly directing them?

However, in the face of such means, he could only scold them. It was difficult to take effective measures. He quickly calmed down and asked, "Cao Bingchen, has the envoy's reply arrived?"

"Not yet." Chen Tong shook his head and said, "However, according to the time, the envoy's reply should be on the way now."

"That's good..." Meng Zhang nodded first, then thought about it, and couldn't help but said, "Cao Bingchen, there is something I can't help but say.

"The war situation in Yunshu County is urgent and there is a shortage of soldiers. We should recruit soldiers as soon as possible so that we will have a stronger hope of defending the city, instead of relying on these 8,000 infantrymen.

" "That's right, we don't have the power to recruit soldiers ourselves. According to the procedure, we should apply to the governor first, but now the enemy is at the gate of the city, and there is not so much time."

His meaning was very simple. A general is not subject to the orders of the king when he is away from the court. Now we should not care about the procedures and should just start recruiting soldiers.

"No, if it were any other governor, you would be right to do so." Chen Tong shook his head and said, "But it's different under the rule of Envoy Cui. As long as we can get a reply from the governor, we will win this battle. "

The envoy has great magical powers. As long as you put one or two of them in the letter, you can destroy the barbarian army with a snap of your fingers." Hui Shi explained on the side.

"..." Meng Zhang was silent after hearing this. He thought of some rumors about Cui Heng, the governor of Fengzhou, and frowned, "There is no Hong River here, so there is no way to drown the army with water."

Like most people, he also believed that Cui Heng relied on the terrain advantage and the power of the Hong River to defeat armies several times larger than his own.

As for the great magical powers?

From ancient times to the present, no one has ever heard of a magical power that can defeat hundreds of thousands of troops.

It is simply unbelievable.

"We probably won't receive a reply from the envoy. "At this moment, Hui Shi suddenly spoke.

These words immediately startled Chen Tong next to him.

What does it mean?!

He was about to ask, but he saw Hui Shi bowing respectfully to the sky.

"Welcome, Your Excellency!" Hui Shi bowed to the sky, extremely respectful.

The dragon pattern behind him felt a familiar breath, which meant that Cui Heng was here, and he had no intention of hiding his whereabouts.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tong hurriedly looked up.

He saw a figure riding on the clouds and mist, slowly floating over from the horizon.

So he hurriedly bowed and said, "Welcome, Your Excellency!"

"Fly, fly over? ! "Meng Zhang stared at Cui Heng in amazement.

In the eyes of most people, such a method of flying clouds and driving mist is already a god.

Many people and soldiers in the city also saw Cui Heng flying clouds and driving mist from the sky, and their hearts were suddenly filled with endless joy.

When the barbarian soldiers were approaching the city and were about to attack the city, a god suddenly came.

It was like a lamp appeared in the dark night.

The people who were originally in a panic suddenly felt much safer in their hearts.

At this time, no matter what they were doing, they all knelt on the ground and worshiped Cui Heng in the sky.

One after another, red and white lights that only Cui Heng could see slowly floated into the sky.
