Chapter 161: The People Holding Bamboo Slips of the County Guard!The Huns are coming! !
"go!"

Bai Yan turned his head and said to the cavalry soldiers around him.

heard.

The iron cavalry officers who had been guarding Bai Yan followed Bai Yan one after another, mounted their horses, and drove away towards the outside of the city.

on the city head.

After all the iron cavalry officers and soldiers in the city ran up the tower, a dozen iron cavalry officers and soldiers blocked the city ladder with giant logs or wooden cabinets brought from the people's homes, and sprinkled it with water, leaving only one small hole.

In the city road behind these cavalry officers and soldiers, bundles of arrows, horse ropes, and many wooden barrels filled with water have already been placed.

A group of iron cavalry officers and soldiers held bows and crossbows one after another, running in the city road.

Seeing that the general outside the city had already led the other iron cavalry soldiers and rode away, all the iron cavalry soldiers did not panic, but followed the order and squatted side by side in the city road. The whole process was orderly and there was no disturbance.

Also squatting in the corner, apart from a cavalry soldier who had just arrived, there were hundreds of Qin officials holding bows and crossbows squatting in the corner.

A few days ago, only the common people and other officials were evacuated from Gaonu, while all Qin officials in the city stayed behind.

At this moment, compared with a famous iron cavalry officer, these Qin officials are not so calm. Not to mention those Qin officials who have not been on the battlefield and have just been transferred to Gaonu not long ago, even some old Qin officials have sweaty palms.

After all, that was an army of [-] Huns!

And right now, Gao Nu only has this army of [-] iron cavalry!

Even if this army of iron cavalry is the elite of the Qin State, the Bai clan's iron cavalry.

But with such a disparity in troop strength, none of the Qin officials could see a half chance of winning. If they hadn't seen the unhurried appearance and survival instinct of these iron cavalry soldiers, they would have already made them flee.

City gate.

A cavalry soldier in disguise dragged the prepared carriage outside the city.

"I will remember later, when the Huns came, they immediately ran up the tower."

Jiang Shang, the young cavalry general, spoke to the Qin official at the door.

"promise!"

"promise!!"

At the gate of the city, eight Qin officials with long daggers in their hands nodded quickly when they heard Jiang Shang's words, and then looked nervously towards the north, the exit of the mountain range.

the other side.

At the entrance of a mountain range closest to Gaonu City.

Wearing Qin Armor and Qin Jian, Bai Yan rode his horse all the way towards the entrance of the mountain range.

Behind Bai Yan, a famous iron cavalry soldier followed closely.

After a group of people rode into the entrance of the mountain range, they were in the middle of the huge canyon between the high mountains on both sides.

At a glance, there are densely packed iron cavalry officers and soldiers, all iron cavalry officers and soldiers are riding war horses, holding long spears and crossbows, and black flags with Qin characters spread all over the entire army.

"General!"

"General!!"

In front of the army, the cavalry generals who had been waiting here saw Bai Yan coming, and hurried forward.

"How are you getting ready?"

Bai Yan reined in his horse, looked at the endless cavalry army in the valley in front of him, and asked softly.

"Everything is ready!"

A cavalry general said.

Bai Yan nodded, and then rode to the side of the cows, making sure that each cow's tail was wrapped with wet cloth,

"Go and tell the soldiers again, after the soldiers in the tower retreat, use the trumpet as an order, and no one is allowed to be greedy for meritorious service!"

Bai Yan said again to the cavalry generals worriedly.

It is impossible to directly burn [-] Huns and the Yuezhi army to death just by burning Gaonu City. As expected, it is not bad to burn [-] to [-] Huns.

The rest of the Huns realized that whether it was siege or whatever, they would definitely need to divide their troops.

The numerical advantage of the Xiongnu army lost most of it in an instant.

"promise!"

"promise!!"

A general of iron cavalry bowed his hands to Bai Yan to receive the order, and rode his horse towards the army behind.

After a while.

Gollum.

Accompanied by the sound of several horseshoes from outside the valley, Chai led his cronies and arrived in the valley.

"General, it's ready! Five hundred carriages have already set off for the Huns' territory by another road."

Chai came to Bai Yan, cupped his hands and said.

Looking at Bai Yan, Chai felt a lot of emotion in his heart. If General Bai Yu was here and knew all of Bai Yan's plans, he would probably be shocked.

After the people evacuated, Bai Yan ordered to prepare [-] carriages, each of which was filled with empty wooden boxes and sandbags, and when the Xiongnu went south, they sent them to the Huns' territory by another road.

At that time, the Xiongnu just wanted to make it clear to the Yuezhi, but with the empty box and the sack filled with soil, no one would believe it, let alone the Yuezhi.

Not only that.

Where did Yan Mao have [-] cavalry and Qin soldiers from Yunshan pass and Qianshan pass, but under Bai Yan's order, they did not return to Gaonu.

"it is good!"

Bai Yan nodded and looked towards the northern sky. The two big tribes, the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu, have never been of the same mind. Just like the previous countries in the Central Plains, attacking the heart is the first priority!
He didn't know how Bai Qi would arrange his troops in the face of the current situation while he was still alive, but after returning to Gaonu from Yuzhong, in just a few days, all the means he could use had been used. come out.

"General! The Hun army is coming!"

At this moment, Ye, who had been following Bai Yan all this time, suddenly saw a soldier holding up a branch on a rock halfway up the mountain.

This is the signal of the arrival of the Huns.

Gaonu City, under the North City Gate.

"We don't go, the sheriff asked us to come back, how can Bai Yan disobey the orders of the sheriff?"

"That's right, why let us go, why seal the city! Let us go in quickly, even if the Huns come, we will have a place to hide!"

"Let's see the city guard Bai Yan! Could it be that Bai Yan, a city guard, dared to disobey the order of the county guard!"

At this moment, in front of the city gate, hundreds of people gathered at the gate, clamoring to enter the city.

If you are more careful, you will find that among these people, those who yell the loudest have better clothes than some ordinary people.

"General, what should I do?"

A famous Qin official looked at the common people who kept clamoring to enter the city in front of him, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Especially in the hands of these common people, there are indeed orders from the sheriff.

Jiang Shang frowned slightly, looked at these people, and then looked at the carriages.

Although the people in the carriage did not come out to make trouble, the reason why these people came back is inseparable from those who sat in the carriage.

"madness!"

Jiang Shang whispered softly at the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the people in the carriage, looking at a commoner full of anger in front of him, Jiang Shang, who was wearing Qin armor, had ridicule in his eyes.

At this moment, Jiang Shang felt worthless for the general.

The general had acted disrespectfully before, disregarding the county guard, disregarding Xianyang's blame, and even disregarding the danger of being convicted, he tried his best to protect Shangjun and let these people leave, but these people never knew how to be grateful.

People in the world don't understand the general, Jiang Shang is not to blame.

But these people who received the general's favor turned back and yelled at the general, bluntly telling the general to come out.

"General, you're not here now!"

Jiang Shang said, and then slowly raised his hand, letting all the soldiers who had previously disguised themselves enter the city.

"go!"

"Walk!!"

Seeing Jiang Shang's actions, those disguised soldiers looked at each other and ran towards the city.

Just when the people wanted to follow suit.

Clang~!

Jiang Shang suddenly pulled out the Qin sword from his waist.

Along with it, there was a Qin soldier guarding the city gate holding a long dagger, and almost instantly pointed the long dagger at anyone who rushed into the city.

"Whoever dares to take a step forward, kill!"

Jiang Shang looked at these people with cold eyes.

As an iron cavalry general, Jiang Shang came from the bloody corpse mountain step by step, and now there are countless scars on his body.

"you!!!"

The first few men who wanted to rush in, saw Jiang Shang's gaze, and their legs were a little weak.

Only then did they remember that this cavalry general had killed quite a few people.

"Let Bai Yan come out!"

"Yes, quickly let Bai Yan out!!"

"Bai Yan, how dare you disobey the orders of the Sheriff!"

A group of people, both men and women, were all standing in front of the city gate at this moment. They who dared not rush to the city could only shout angrily.

Behind these common people, dozens of carriages were distributed among the crowd.

There were men and women in the carriage, old and young, but without exception, when they heard the sound outside the carriage, they couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths and waited quietly.

However, at the next moment, all the people sitting in the carriage seemed to hear something and frowned slightly.

Not only them.

Outside the carriage, there were a lot of common people. At this moment, many people also heard the faint roar, looked at each other, and looked around.

Jiang Shang, who also heard the movement, put away Qin Jian at this moment, turned around and walked towards the city.

"go!"

Jiang Shang said.

A Qin official holding a long dagger around heard the order and hurriedly followed behind and walked towards the city.

see.

Outside the city gate, a number of people looked at this scene full of doubts, full of puzzlement.

But no one dared to be the first to enter rashly.

As the sound became louder, after a while, many people could vaguely hear what it was.

"Horse hooves?"

"I can also hear it. If it is the sound of horseshoes, why is the sound so loud?"

"No, it's in the north, the voice is coming from the north!!"

The people looked around, bustling, and as the voice gradually became clear, everyone looked to the north.

Even the people who had been sitting quietly in the carriage all lifted the curtains at this moment, and looked towards the north with their heads.

After a while.

In the eyes of all the people.

Under the towering mountains stretching to the sky in the north, in a gorge leading to the north, suddenly dense crowds of Huns poured out from the gorge, and the number of them was so large that it formed a sea of ​​people in an instant.

"Hun~Hun."

A commoner opened his eyes in horror, his face was pale, and while his whole body was shaking, more and more people had already kept retreating.

Some timid young men and women, or some old people who have experienced the plunder of the Huns, all their legs and feet are weak at this moment, and they sit on the ground.

"Run!!"

"The Huns are coming! Run!!"

Accompanied by returning to their senses, all the people who had clamored to see Bai Yan just now ran towards the city desperately.

The merchants and gentry on the carriage were all frightened and turned pale when they saw the Huns army in the north like a sea of ​​people. After jumping off the carriage, they rushed towards the city gate desperately.
