Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 308 Battle of Juyang City Defense

Seeing that Touman had agreed, Ba Xiulie felt helpless in his heart, knowing that this matter could not be stopped, so he could only keep it in his heart.

If the matter is broken, it will make Touman angry, and the loss outweighs the gain.

Suddenly, Ba Xiulie thought of a possibility. He remembered what Mo Dun wanted to say at the royal court meeting. Thinking of today's scene, Ba Xiulie had to have a guess in his heart. It seems that they are all in the calculation of Mao Dun.

Use Donghu King and Qin Army to weaken Touman's confidant forces.When such a sentence surfaced in Ba Xiulie's heart, Ba Xiulie felt a chill in his hands and feet.

If this is the case, it would be too terrifying!With such a thorough insight into human nature, he accurately grasped the pulse of Touman, King Donghu.

Keeping these things in mind, Ba Xiulie immediately followed Touman's order to organize soldiers to attack the city.

Sure enough, the Xiongnu did not conquer Xiajuyang until the evening of the battle. On the one hand, there were Mohists in the city to coordinate and command, and all kinds of defense equipment were available, while the Xiongnu did not have any siege equipment.On the other hand, it was because of Baxiulie's intentional release of water.

Ba Xiulie knew that Juyang was the prefecture of Shanggu County, so it was not so easy to conquer, so he didn't try his best, but also meant to preserve himself.

King Donghu looked at the Huns who had come back from the attack, and snorted coldly. He could see clearly just now. Although the Qin army on the city wall was very brave, he could tell that the Huns did not try their best.

It's just that King Donghu didn't say anything about it. The moment he knew his bid, Touman was already impatient!

For the half of the benefits he promised, Touman will be more anxious than himself!
Touman's complexion is not very good-looking either. Men on the grassland have faced the test of life and death since they were born, and they have stepped into the vortex of war. The weak have long been eliminated!
From the age of seven or eight, he began to ride sheep and practice riding skills, and then he rode a pony. When he became a little adult, he would be incorporated into the ten thousand riders, endure hunger or devour rotten meat, and accept all kinds of harsh punishments. Only after training and assessment can one become a qualified cavalryman.

And all those who survived were strong. Therefore, the men on the grassland were born warriors. With a bow and crossbow and a horse, they could fight on the battlefield.

And Touman, as the Shanyu of the Huns, is naturally very clear about these things, and he knows how well the cavalry under his hands can perform and how powerful they are.

However, according to the current situation, Ba Xiulie did not follow his instructions.

At night, Ba Xiulie walked out of Touman's big tent, and after some persuasion by him, Touman was persuaded by him!
The restless heart gradually calmed down under Ba Xiulie's words.

Several consecutive days of offensive and defensive battles are being staged in Juyang City!

On the city wall, Mo Chu looked solemn, and he was also wearing a pair of armor. Fresh blood coagulated on the armor, covering the original blood stains on it, which was left over from the first battle.

"Junwei, how is the situation there?" Mo Chu asked without the slightest emotion.

Han Bin's face was not very good-looking, and he replied: "Thirty or forty brothers died, and seventy or eighty were injured."

"What about you?"

Seeing Mo Chu looking at him, Tian Huan's expression was also ugly, and he said, "The situation is similar to that of the county captain."

"It can't go on like this!" Mo Chu muttered to himself looking at the dark sky, just now, the barbarians fought desperately in the rain, and finally beat them back.

"There is not much medical treatment in this city, and soldiers who are seriously injured will die slowly. If this continues, we will not be able to hold on until the son is here!"

Both Han Bin and Tian Huan were silent. They both knew Mo Chu's words, but such words must not be spread outside.

Otherwise, the morale of the army will be turbulent, and it will only die faster!
These days, every time they come to Mo Chu to report casualties, they become a little numb!Those who died were all human lives!And they could only watch their soldiers and brothers die in front of them one by one, but they could do nothing.

"Sheriff, how is the situation in the city?"

Di Wen knew that he could only rely on Mo Chu at this moment, and said: "The people in the city are still safe now, but in three or two days, many people's homes will run out of food! Now people in the city are in panic."

"How much food is there in the city?"

"There is not much food in the city, but there are military rations prepared for the army, which can supply the needs of the city for a month."

Di Wen knew that this part of the military rations was raised for the army, and no one dared to touch this batch of rations unless it was absolutely necessary.

Mo Chu turned to face the crowd, glanced at the familiar faces in front of him, and said, "We don't have much bows and arrows left. We demolish the houses, and start demolishing at the nearest place. All the demolished bricks, stones and wood are transported to the city wall."

"This..." Di Wen showed hesitation on his face.

"Also, tell the people that once the Hu people break through the city, they will definitely slaughter the city, no one will stay behind."

"The military rations in the city are free for the people to eat as much as they can, but there is one thing, anyone who eats the rations must come to the city wall to help us defend the city. I want you to get every male in the city to help us out." .”

"Tell the people that as long as we win the battle, we can get titles, fields, new houses, and court rewards."

Faced with what Mo Chu said, Di Wen was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say.

Mo Chu kept talking, and continued: "All the prisoners in the prison will be released. If the battle is won, the death row prisoner will be spared death, and the rest of the prisoners will be pardoned for their crimes. They will be rewarded for their merits and crimes."

"Finally, pile up coke in the city and pour fire oil on it. If you really can't hold it anymore, set fire to the city, and you can't leave a brick or a tile to the barbarians."

Seeing the crazy look on Mo Chu's face, everyone was horrified, and they all thought that Mo Chu was definitely not joking under such circumstances.

Di Wen bowed to accept the order, but there was something different in his heart.

Mo Chu took out a letter from his bosom, put it into Tian Huan's bosom, and said, "Tian Huan, break out later, hand this letter to Master, and tell him that I, Mo Chu, have never let him down. "

"Also, in my residence in Fushi City, there are more than a dozen scrolls of bamboo slips. Tell the young master to make good use of these. Mo Chu always believes that he can be a wise king who will bless all people in the world!"

"Brother..." Tian Huan's words choked up.

Mo Chu frowned, and said, "I'm not dead yet!"

"This letter is very important to my Mohist family. It must not be lost. You must hand it to the master in person to help the brother complete this task."

"And the bamboo slips are also very important to the young master and the people in the counties in the north. You must tell the young master personally."
