Chapter 1166 Frontier Fortress(1/2)
There were only more than 3,000 Han troops in the fortress, which were used to guard against the small groups of cavalry in the Huns to go south to attack Caogu.
Liu Bei never expected that the Huns would attack with their might.
At this time, the defense fortress was surrounded by the Huns, and it was not a false statement to kill all the Han troops.
Wei Tian stood on the fortress and sneered at Hu Meng:
"surrender?
You Hun dogs are worthy of letting us surrender?
Have you heard of the reputation of General Wei Qing?”
General Wei Qing was a nightmare in the hearts of the Huns.
He defeated the Huns in the Battle of Longcheng. He went out to Dingxiang and severely damaged the main force of the Huns. He and his nephew Huo Qubing chased and died in the north, causing the Huns to "no royal court in the desert south".
It can be said that Wei Qing suppressed the Huns for an entire era.
When General Wei Qing was present, it was the darkest moment for the Huns.
When Wei Tian mentioned Wei Qing, Hu Meng was furious and shouted angrily:
"General Wei Qing is indeed a character, but now you big men have fallen.
Only Guanzhong is left in the Han Dynasty. How long can we survive under the fierce attack of our Great Huns?
What are you? Do you want to scare my Hun army with Wei Qing's name?"
Wei Tian said proudly without fear in the face of the endless Xiongnu cavalry:
"My name is Wei Tian, and the general Wei Qing is my ancestor!
Naturally, unfilial descendants cannot be compared with their ancestors, but as long as the descendants of the Wei family still exist, the Huns will not want to offend our great Han Dynasty for an inch of land!
The soldiers, the Hun army is a hundred times more than me.
Do you dare to fight?"
"Dare to fight!", "Dare to fight!", "Dare to fight!!"
Although there were few soldiers in the fortress, they all surged with their blood and morale, and wanted to fight to the death with the Hun army.
If the Chu army or the army of Yan, Wei and other countries besieged them outside, these Han soldiers would probably have no intention of fighting and were determined to surrender.
However, when facing the Huns, they had no intention of surrender and just wanted to fight against the Huns.
Hu Meng looked at Wei Tian with a distorted face and said:
"It's stubborn!
Warriors, siege me!"
The Hun cavalry received orders and began to launch a fierce attack on the fortress.
They did not have any effective siege equipment, they all rely on their bravery to climb the fortress.
Wei Tian calmly directed his soldiers to light the beacon fire and personally stepped forward to supervise the battle with a spear in his hand.
The Han army and the Hun cavalry fought to the death in front of the fortress.
Liu Bei set up a large camp behind the border fortress, where all the troops of Beidi County were stationed here, with about 50,000 people.
The commander of the troops was Li Jue and Guo Si, the generals of the Han army.
Looking at the rolling wolf smoke in the distance, Li Jie said with a serious expression:
"All the wolf smoke from the enemy fortress on the border is lit, which is something that has never happened before."
Guo Si replied:
"Weitan's fortress was severely damaged by alien races.
Zhao Wu, Li He and Hu Feng then ignited the beacon to warn him.
If we can break through the fortress in such a short time, this time the Huns must have launched a large-scale invasion, with at least 100,000 people!
Li Laoer, what should we do?
Should I retreat for the time being to avoid the edge?”
Li Jue, Guo Si and others were all born into Green Forest heroes and rose up with Dong Zhuo's boss.
It is their habit to save their lives first when the situation is not good.
But this time Li Jue shook his head and said to Guo Si:
"Guo Aduo, we can't withdraw this time."
"Why?"
"Because we are Han people."
Li Jue laughed at himself:
"I have fought a war all my life, but I have never seen anyone who cherishes my life than you and me.
Back then, we followed the country of Prime Minister Dong to cause trouble in Chang'an, and we killed innocent people a lot, so we were really not a good thing.
But after all, we are still different from these foreign races outside the Great Wall.
You also know what kind of purgatory the people of the Han Dynasty face once they kill in."
Speaking of this, Li Jue stood up with his sword and sighed:
"I have never thought of being a hero in my life.
But I don’t want to have no face to meet my ancestors after I die.”
"Damn it, I'm embarrassed to run away."
Guo Si laughed and scolded:
"After being a general for so many years, I, Guo Adu, have enjoyed enough.
To be honest, I also dislike these dog-goers.
What should I do this time? I'll listen to you!"
Li Jue thought for a moment and asked:
"Let Li Shi ride a fast horse and report back to Chang'an at night and ask for help from the king.
Li Li went to Zuo Fengyi to inform General Zhang Ji to help our army defeat the enemy.
You and I all formed a 50,000 army to block the Huns, and we must intercept the Huns in the north!"
Li Shi is Li Jue's son, and Li Li is Li Jue's nephew.
After all, Li Jue still had selfish thoughts in the face of the surging Hun army.
But Guo Si couldn't say much, after all, his sons and nephews stayed safely in Chang'an, and no one was a general in the army.
He had no choice but to sigh to Li Jue:
"Li Laoer, you have to make a living with the Huns in this way.
I'm going to be killed by you."
Li Jue smiled and said:
“There are more people who have been killed by you over the years.
If you are really hacked to death by the Huns, you will be considered atonement.
If I don’t say much to you, I’ll go and Li Shi, Li Li will tell you a few words, and we will send troops to block the Huns in a while!"
Li Shi and Li Li were practicing shooting skills on the school ground in the camp.
Seeing Li Jue coming, the two of them hurriedly pulled away their guns and bowed to Li Jue:
"Sir Father!"
"Uncle!"
"No gift."
Li Jue waved his hand and said to the two:
"The Huns are coming. You two will clean up and go to Chang'an and Zuo Fengyi to ask for help."
After hearing Li Jue's words, Li Shi knew that Li Jue wanted to send him away and said anxiously:
"My father, I am willing to resist the Huns with you!"
"My nephew is also willing to fight against the enemy with the bondage!"
"You guys..."
Li Jue smiled bitterly:
"This time the Huns went south and it was extraordinary that you would not have any effect if you stayed here.
If reinforcements can be brought in as soon as possible, there may be a glimmer of hope in the north."
