Zhang Liao looked at the slowly retreating Xiongnu army in the distance with a sharp gaze, and felt relieved.
There is naturally no possibility of any ambushes around here. Could he use the few men under his command to ambush hundreds of thousands of Hun troops?
That would undoubtedly be seeking death.
All of this was actually Zhang Liao's plan. Of course, the rich businessman didn't know the truth.
Otherwise everything would seem a bit fake. The rich businessman thought everything was real, but in fact it was all a play that Zhang Liao had people act with him.
He drove away the herdsmen in advance and asked the martial arts masters from the north to hide in the mountains on both sides to attack and kill the scouts.
Naturally, the Xiongnu king could not get much information.
We can only withdraw our troops temporarily, which can be regarded as a few days of buffer time.
Even if this plan fails, there will be no loss for Zhang Liao.
He knew very well that once the Xiongnu king realized he had been deceived, he would launch a more fierce siege.
He immediately issued an order: "Strengthen the defenses and be on high alert. Don't let the Xiongnu army attack you at night."
Then I thought, I wonder how the second prince is doing now?
-----------
After a few more days, the sky was covered with thick dark clouds and the sky became extremely gloomy.
The howling wind blew up the Xiongnu flags, making a fluttering sound.
The Xiongnu king was afraid that there were ambushes nearby, so he sent a large number of scouts to clear the way step by step and explore before he dared to approach.
The sound of horse hooves rang out, and the whole earth seemed to begin to tremble.
The Xiongnu king looked up at Lulong County in the distance and shouted, "Warriors, the Great Camp is just around the corner, and the city is full of gold.
Whoever climbs the city wall first will be rewarded with a thousand cavalrymen."
The sound echoed across the battlefield, full of temptation.
"Kill them and offer their heads to Eternal Heaven!" The Hun soldiers shouted in unison, full of fighting spirit.
Even though Dagan traded with the Huns, most of the soldiers still did not have the money to buy those goods, but they were eager to do so.
After all, they are all ordinary herdsmen. Even food and clothing are a problem. How can they have the money to spend these things?
Now that there is an opportunity to plunder, everyone is gathering their strength.
The Huns probably had no siege equipment, only simple ladders and battering rams.
However, because the physical fitness of the soldiers in this world is extraordinary, even if their internal energy is suppressed by the clouds, they cannot communicate with heaven and earth.
But no matter how high your city is built, those strong men can climb up quickly.
At this moment, Zhang Liao also saw the dark mass of Huns in the distance, but his expression remained unchanged.
These Huns are all good nomads, but attacking and defending cities are the jobs of infantry.
At this moment, there was silence on the city wall. All the soldiers held their breath, and Zhang Liao was staring closely at the distance of the enemy.
"Two thousand meters", "one thousand meters", "eight hundred meters", "five hundred meters"......
"Shoot." Zhang Liao shouted, and the drummer beside him beat the war drum hard with the drumstick.
“Boom” “Boom” “Boom”!!!
The sound of war drums was deafening, and a sea of arrows poured down like a rainstorm, shooting at the Hun soldiers below.
Although the Hun soldiers were wearing leather armor, it was almost useless in the face of such dense arrows.
A large number of Hun soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and screams rang out one after another.
However, the Hun army did not retreat, but rushed towards the city wall even more frantically.
Among them were many masters who, relying on their archery skills and extraordinary agility, stepped over the corpses of their colleagues, quickly climbed up the ladders, and jumped onto the city walls.
Similarly, a large amount of rolling logs, falling rocks, and golden juice poured down madly, preventing them from climbing the wall.
Zhang Liao stood on the city wall with a long sword in his hand. As soon as the enemy attacked the city wall, he would immediately go over and repel them.
And those martial arts masters also provided some help to help resist the invasion of the Hun masters.
The entire battle lasted from morning to evening, and the blood on the city wall dyed the bricks and stones red.
Countless corpses of Hun soldiers were piled up under the city walls.
Seeing that he could not take the city after a long siege, the Xiongnu king had no choice but to order a withdrawal.
On the battlefield, the shouts and cries of killing gradually died down, replaced by the heavy breathing of the soldiers and the occasional neighing of war horses in the distance.
Zhang Liao was covered in blood at this moment, all of which were left by the Huns.
In this battle, he personally killed a supreme grandmaster. Although the opponent had not died, he was seriously injured.
Two grand masters and four grand masters were killed, and there were countless ordinary soldiers.
He took the canteen handed to him by the adjutant, drank it in big gulps, and then handed it to other soldiers.
"Treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and prepare supplies for defending the city. Don't let your guard down." Zhang Liao remained calm when he saw the battlefield filled with corpses and blood.
He added, "My lords, the Xiongnu will surely return, but we only need to hold out for thirty days at most.
Perhaps some of us will be buried here, but the people we protect and the families we protect will be safe because of our perseverance."
Zhang Liao looked like a ferocious god at this moment, but the soldiers felt greatly relieved when they saw him.
"I am willing to stay with the general!"
"Kill these wolf cubs of the Huns!"
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
..........
These soldiers are all elite troops. Whether they are imperial guards or border troops, they have long been prepared to die.
The Huns attacked for more than ten days, but to no avail.
The entire battlefield turned into a huge meat grinder, constantly devouring lives.
Although the Huns had a large number of people, they only had so many soldiers available to attack the city at once, so their advantage could not be brought into play.
