Daqin: You were asked to build the Great Wall and you destroyed the Huns?

Chapter 59 Han’s First Battle

Time passed quickly and the sun had already set.

The imperial guards woke up one after another, washed their faces with Anfengtang water, and checked their equipment energetically.

This trip is not a trivial fight, it is a real deep dive into the enemy's territory. There is no room for carelessness. If you are not careful, you will lose your life!

Ying Xuan also checked himself, and after confirming that everything was correct, he led everyone along the bank of the Huai River and all the way north.

Walking to a forest ten miles away from Shouchun, he abandoned the horses and burrowed into the surrounding bushes with the refugees.

Zhang Han looked at the moon twice.

"It's approaching August now, and the moon is in this position, so it should be Haishi!"

Looking from a distance, Ying Xuan saw that in the last ten miles away from Shouchun, there were too few places to hide.

If the Huaiyang army can't contain the opponent well and attract all their energy, it may be difficult for me and others to get close!
Ying Xuan frowned, he wasn't sure whether the Huaiyang Army barracks would follow orders to attack with all their strength.

It was impossible for him to risk his life, so he thought about it and summoned Zhang Wangcai.

"How many messengers do you have in total?"

Zhang Wangcai lay on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

"Return to Yushi! There are dozens of us, and we usually gather near the big rock in front, swim across the moat together, and enter the tunnel!"

Ying Xuan glanced at where Zhang Wangcai was pointing, but there was nothing there.

"We all gathered around the stone after midnight, and only after midnight will the tunnel be opened!"

Ying Xuan nodded, turned around and explained to Zhang Han.

"With that big rock as the center, touch all the obstacles in a three-mile radius, and kill anyone you meet!"

Ying Xuan's words made Zhang Wangcai shudder severely.

After a while, he saw shadows quickly spreading out and surrounding the big rock.

Then start searching one by one.

He couldn't see clearly under the moonlight, but he could clearly observe that some shadows would be delayed halfway.

This moment is a life.

Zhang Wangcai swallowed, he was very glad that Chang Lin brought these people to arrest him.

Otherwise, I don’t even know how I died tonight.

After the cleanup was completed, dozens of Imperial Guards took the place of the messengers and lay on the ground waiting quietly.

Occasionally, one or two late-coming shadows can be seen, and they disappeared as soon as they approached the big rock.

At this time, the forbidden army will rush over and replace them with two people.

As the moonlight gets higher and higher, the southwest corner of Shouchun City is the far right side of Ying Xuan's sight.

The fire suddenly brightened.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of rushing sounds can be heard here.

Ying Xuan clenched his fist subconsciously.

Those Huaiyang troops did not resist the order, they were really trying their best to attack the city.

……

South of Shouchun City.

Thirty thousand troops came out in full force.

The flames lit up the entire sky.

The county captain divided the thousands of people into dozens of square formations.

With the siege vehicle as the center, three thousand-man formations were set up on each side to attack the entire southern city wall.

Except that the siege engine in the middle only attacks the city gate.

The rest of the battle formations took turns to attack without stopping!

The Sheriff stood in the back with a serious face.

He didn't want to be able to capture the city wall, he just wanted these soldiers to die less, or to die more slowly, and to survive until two hours later.

But he also knew that the censor had already touched the location of Shouchun City.

A slight slack on his part may cause him to be discovered by the enemy and besieged in the city, and his success will fall short.

The inner struggle kept him unable to make up his mind.

At this time, the county lieutenant on the side took a step forward.

"No! The attack of the six phalanxes did not allow the opponent to pull out all the troops!"

"If this continues, the censor will have no chance to enter safely!"

"The captain obeys the order!"

The captain at the side suddenly stood up.

"The end is here!"

"Lead [-] troops! Storm the southeast corner and open up another battlefield! No matter what method you use, draw me out of the regular army in Shouchun City!"

The captain did not hesitate.

"The final general will not disgrace his life!"

The Sheriff's eyes widened and he wanted to say something.

Opening up another battlefield is equivalent to increasing the death rate of soldiers again!

If this continues for two hours, it is likely that the two hours will not be reached, and [-] soldiers will be killed and injured!

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say anything.

……

The time has come.

The number of guards on the west and north walls of Shouchun City has been reduced by [-]%, and most of them went to the south wall for support.

The Huaiyang Army's offensive was even more ferocious than Ying Xuan expected.

He also knew that this was the time the soldiers had bought with their lives.

Seeing that the time had come, Ying Xuan was about to order to enter the city, but suddenly found out.

The guards on the two city walls were withdrawn again, and there were almost few people left.

Ying Xuan frowned, is Huaiyang Army crazy?Shouchun City, which is so aggressive, has almost abandoned the other sides. Are you really filling the moat with your life?
But there was no time for him to hesitate now.

Ying Xuan gave an order.

"Change strategy, 50 people will follow me into the city through the tunnel from the north."

"All the refugees and the rest go to take down the west city wall and gate, and leave two people to send a letter to lure the Huaiyang army to attack the west city!"

Zhang Han was also sent to the west wall by Ying Xuan.

"Censor can't! If I'm not around, who will protect you!"

Ying Xuan turned around, slapped Zhang Han hard on the shoulder, and said to him seriously.

"Remember you are a general! Not a guard! Now is your chance to show yourself!"

"This is your first battle, lead these people to take Shouchun City for me! Let the world see who my staff are in Yingxuan!"

Zhang Han clenched his fist, this is an opportunity for him, but at this moment he values ​​Ying Xuan's safety more.

Ying Xuan smiled.

"Don't worry, the person in this world who can kill me hasn't been born yet!"

Then he said with a serious expression.

"Zhang Han listens to the order!"

Following Ying Xuan's formal order, Zhang Han could only turn around and lead 150 forbidden troops and hundreds of refugees towards the west wall.

And Ying Xuan took the remaining fifty forbidden troops along the Huaihe River embankment to a few dozen meters outside Shouchun City.

The north side of Shouchun City is adjacent to the Huaihe River.

Under the guidance of Zhang Wangcai, everyone crossed tens of meters of flat land at an extremely fast speed and came to the inner bank of the moat.

During the process, the few remaining guards on the city wall saw these figures, but they didn't make any movement.

I thought it was the group of messengers who came over again.

Ying Xuan looked at the tunnel on the slope of the river bank, which was not much higher than the water level, and frowned slightly.

It was indeed the work of those Yue people.

I still like drilling holes!

Before coming here, Zhang Wangcai had already said that there were dozens of soldiers guarding the exit of the tunnel.

I'm afraid it won't be easy to live in peace.

But now, with such a shortage of manpower outside, they should have fewer people to defend.

After all, a one-meter-high tunnel could not hold up as many people as it could enter. If there were too many people, the guards on the city wall would have noticed it long ago.

Ying Xuan waved his hand, and behind Zhang Wangcai led the team were ten imperial soldiers who had changed into refugee clothes.

Use them as the vanguard and wait for the opponent to relax before attacking.

……

At this moment, the siege battle on the south city wall has entered a fever pitch.

The county guard felt heartbroken as he looked at the soldiers falling from the siege ladder one by one.

The county lieutenant never let go of his clenched palms.

Relying on their bloodiness, the soldiers bravely charged up the city wall several times, but they were still pressed down by the opponent regardless of their own safety.

Seeing that the six battle formations in the first round were almost completely dead and wounded, the county lieutenant could only grit his teeth with red eyes.

"Second round, give it to me!"
