The Huns began to cross the river, and the news soon spread to Guihua City, but at this time the Guihua defenders were already mentally prepared.

Tens of thousands of people crossing the river is not simply crossing the river. The delivery of follow-up materials is a troublesome thing, and this is destined to last for three or four days.

But at this time, on the vast grassland of more than [-] miles between Guihua City and Heishui River, scouts from the Huns also rained down on this land.

This also means that after Wei Wuji knew of the movements of Huermu and others, apart from the internal situation in Guihua City, it was also under the surveillance of the Huns.

Inside the general's yamen, a military meeting was held again, this time all officers of the school lieutenant and above were required to participate.

Military officials at all levels gathered together, but the situation today is very different from last year, especially the officers in this hall who have become unrecognizable.

Back when Zhao Yan was the Guihua General, although his subordinates were full, if he wanted to achieve the level of Wei Wuji's control over the Guihua army now, it was beyond reach.

As soon as Wei Wuji appeared, all the generals bowed down instead of half kneeling before Zhao Yan.

Moreover, all the officers present were promoted by Wei Wuji himself, and their loyalty to him was naturally not comparable to that of Zhao Yan's original class.

After taking the seat of honor, Wei Wuji raised his hand and said to the crowd: "Everyone, the Huns have come in menacingly, and our days of peace and stability are coming to an end!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wei Wuji stood up and said, "But..."

Wei Wuji's voice was high-pitched, hitting everyone's hearts like the sound of war drums in the solemn hall.

"You have to understand one thing, if we are purely defending, we will just sit and wait to die!" Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.

"If the Huns completely surround this place, then we are on my side, and we can only wait here to die!"

Wei Wuji said such things as soon as he came, which made everyone in the hall, who were already a little nervous under the strong military pressure of the Huns, even more nervous.

"My lord, what should I do if I don't stick to it and wait for reinforcements?" At this time, Wu Xiang, who is the captain of the infantry, asked.

At this time, although the army in the city had reached a scale of more than 6000 people, the number of infantry that could be used for defense had shrunk a lot compared to before, only less than [-] people.

Wei Wuji sat down again, and then said: "Of course I took the initiative to attack, you know, my son is training cavalry, not guarding the city and waiting for him to fight!"

With these words, Wei Wuji revealed his main combat intention, and it was also a decision he made after a few days of deliberation. The cavalry must not stay in the city and be a coward.

"But my lord, the defense force in such a city is even more insufficient, and my subordinates are worried..." I was worried about whether Wu Xiang would say anything, but everyone present knew what he meant.

Wei Wuji didn't explain, but picked up the seal on the long case in front of him, and looked at it carefully.

In fact, Wu Xiangyou was not promoted because of his ability. He was only promoted by Wei Wuji because he was the first to join Wei Wuji's side.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yan who was standing behind Wei Wuji stood up and explained: "My lords, the soldiers are tricky... No matter how powerful the Huns are, we can't show weakness first, but we have to treat them as equals. opponent!"

"Since they can attack us, why can't we attack them first? It's the so-called surprise, attacking those who are unprepared... Presumably the Huns didn't expect that we would attack them first!" Zhou Yan finished with a smile.

"But son, naturalized safety..."

Wu Xiangyou was about to speak, but when Wei Wuji put down the seal in his hand with a "snap", he said in a deep voice, "Don't talk too much about this matter, it's settled like this!"

"As for the naturalized defense, two full captain's troops are enough!" Wei Wuji said slowly.

That's right, in Wei Wuji's view, with the cavalry supporting the outside, the pressure on Guihua City is actually not as great as before. 6000 people are actually enough to defend Guihua, which is not very big.

"Wu Xiang has it, Zhang Ju..."

After Wei Wuji pointed to the two people, the two new captains of the infantry stood up and bowed down.

"From today onwards, you will be responsible for the defense of naturalization, don't let this general down!" Wei Wuji said solemnly.

Wei Wuji's words felt like he was confessing his funeral, which made both Wu Xiangyou and Zhang Ju feel a little bad in their hearts.

But the military order has been issued, and there are two of Wu Xiang can only kowtow: "I will live up to your trust!"

After Zhang Ju stood up, he smiled and said: "With the young master in charge, the whole army will definitely be able to beat the Xiongnu hard!"

Hearing this, Wei Wuji laughed without saying a word, and then said in a deep voice, "My lord will personally lead ten thousand cavalry and go out of the city to fight against the Xiongnu!"

Not only Zhang Ju was shocked, but Hu Hansan and other trusted generals were also a little at a loss at this time.

Although they knew that they and the others were going out to fight, they didn't expect that Wei Wuji would go out of the city himself.

"My son has a body of ten thousand gold, how can I put myself in danger!" Hu Hansan immediately bowed down, and Yan Qing and others did the same.

And Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian also bowed down at this time, but they knew in their hearts that without Wei Wuji's personal command of the [-] cavalry, it would be impossible to coordinate.

Wei Wuji said casually: "My lord knows your loyalty, but... this battle is also my lord's battle. From the time I joined the army until now, my lord has always been at the front without flinching!"

Looking at the earnest faces below, Wei Wuji said word by word: "It's the same this time!"

Seeing that Hu Hansan and the others still didn't get up, Wei Wuji stood up and said, "Get up, if you want to persuade them, we will be dealt with according to the military law!"

Under Wei Wuji's strict order, Hu Hansan stood up reluctantly, but they also didn't want Wei Wuji to risk himself.

"Okay, let's discuss the specific battle plan next, and we must be sure that nothing will go wrong, and advance and retreat properly!" Wei Wuji said, looking down at the crowd.

No one can disobey Wei Wuji's will, so what they can do is to do their best to do their job well and formulate a more careful plan.

Discussing such a detailed plan cannot be decided by Wei Wuji Gangang, because specific matters have to be arranged according to specific circumstances, let alone military affairs.

Although brainstorming is a good thing, it is also very troublesome to reach a consensus, so the meeting lasted almost from noon to sunset.

After arranging all this, on the night of No. 30 in June, Wei Wuji took [-] cavalry and five days of dry food, and left Guihua City by night.

As Wei Wuji said, what he has to do is to take the initiative to attack, so what he brings with him for five days means that he will fight the Huns forward within five days.

But the most difficult question now is how to hide Wei Wuji with this [-] army. After all, the scouts of the Huns are not vegetarians.

Knowing the scouts of the Huns has also become the most important task. Of course, Wei Wuji does not operate it himself. All he has to do is move his mouth.

And two days after Wei Wuji left, the forward troops of the Huns also came within [-] miles outside Guihua City.

Tens of thousands of cavalry came aggressively. At this time, Guihua City was already in danger, and it was very difficult to break the situation.
