Chapter 112: The army is at the city

Liu Jiu grew up on the grassland and certainly would not be ignorant of the weather changes. It might rain this time, which he thought of in advance.

However, he did not care whether it rained or not before the "chicken feather letter" of Fujiao soldier was intercepted. This was not a question he had to consider. Thirty thousand troops went to attack Beidi County. Not to mention rain, even rain and snow were falling together. Just relying on the power of the Xiongnu soldiers, Beidi County could still be wiped out!

But now that he has received the letter from Fujiao Bing, he will inevitably have more things to think about.

Liu Jiu called Dade Wu and said, "Now I understand the meaning of the Han army's bamboo slip. In the right time, place and people, they occupy two things. There are both times and places. So what does people mean? What does it mean? And why do people and those two words "man and people" mean? What does it mean?"

The great witch has always spoke cautiously. He has said countless "prophecies" in his life. He is inevitably making small mistakes when he is young, but when he gets older, he never makes mistakes again because he knows that he can say something and what kind of prophecy you can avoid saying, and try his best to push it to the gods. Don't say it yourself, even if you say it, you must say it vaguely.

After thinking for a long time, the great wizard said: "When officials in the Han family have the habit of using red pens to mark the sentence when killing criminals. Does it mean that they have not received the relationship between people and people? The sender wants to tell the recipient that if the relationship between people and people is not solved well, then it is possible that they will be done?"

Liu Jiu touched the yellow beard and thought for a long time before he said, "What kind of person is there to be in harmony? Who will the Han soldiers be in harmony?"

The great master witch sighed and said, "Only the gods in the sky will know, but the gods have not given up their revelation for a long time, and I don't know!"

You can't force the gods to explain clearly to them. If a mortal is a little confused and the gods quickly ask for a dream to explain, then there is no need to ask for God. Anyway, you will be able to answer if you don't ask for it, so what else can you ask for?

Liu Jiu and the great wizards did not understand what the people who painted the red circle were talking about, so they could only give up and took the Huns to continue their journey to Lian County.

However, along the way, Hun soldiers kept reporting, saying that there were Han soldiers coming and going in the northeast, but the Han soldiers were all prepared and were far away from the army. The Hun soldiers could not even get close, let alone arresting people!

The most terrifying thing in the world is not knowing what the danger is, but knowing that there is danger but not knowing what the danger is!

The more he was confused, the more he became more irritable Liu Jiu was on the way. He was rushing to report that he had encountered an army retreating from Beidi County, and there were soldiers from both vanguards, with nearly a thousand people, but there was no trace of Liu Shiyi and Liu Heibao.

Liu Jiuda was shocked and retreated. Six thousand people went to fight a small Lian County, and could he still retreat? Only less than a thousand people escaped, and his two younger brothers had not yet come back. How could this be possible!

He quickly called a few defeated soldiers, and he asked a centurion, and said, "Why were you defeated? But did you meet the main force of the Han army? How many war soldiers are there, who is the general who leads the troops? Is it the Qiang Hunting Captain who came in person?"

The centurion who escaped had already thought about it on the way. He was very afraid that Liu Jiu would blame the disadvantage of protection, so he lost both Guduhou. After hearing Liu Jiu's question, he howled before he could speak, and cried a few times before he said: "When the king said, I don't know who leaked the news, so that the Han army was prepared. They didn't know how many troops they had ambushed in Lian County. They first defeated the first vanguard and captured Daguduhou. When Xiaoguduhou took us to rescue, they dispatched a large army and fought outside the city, and even captured Xiaoguduhou..." He called Liu Shiyi the Daguduhou and Liu Heibao the Xiaoguduhou.

Liu Jiu said anxiously: "Who led the soldiers and how many troops are there?" As the King of the Huns, his younger brother is not a big deal. Not to mention that his younger brother was captured, his mother and his wife were kidnapped by the enemy, it was not a strange thing. He was concerned about the number of Han soldiers and the generals who commanded the troops.

The centurion grunted for a long time before saying, "I heard that it was the captain of Beidi County who came in person, not the captain of the Qiang Hu. The soldiers he brought were known as the Fujiao Army, with a large number of people and was good at ambushing. We estimate that they would have to have 100,000 people..."

Liu Jiuda was furious, raised his whip and yelled, "Nothing is true, even Liangzhou does not have 100,000 soldiers! Who led the soldiers and who is it? Why can't hesitate to tell his name!"

The centurion was so scared that he trembled all over, hugged his head, and shouted, "No, I don't know the name of a person. It seems that this lieutenant is a wizard and knows dark witchcraft. It seems that his surname is Li. What is his name? It's not revealed and the Han soldiers were captured!" They were all captured by the Fujiao soldiers, so how could they have the chance to capture the Fujiao soldiers?

Liu Jiu was stunned for a long time before saying, "What's going on? Fujiaojun seems to have heard someone mention it."

The great master witch also frowned and said, "It seems that I have heard someone mention it, but..."

It took a long time for Liu Jiu to calm down again. He asked some specific details, but no one could explain the defeated Hun soldiers. Everyone had their own opinions, and the more they said it, it became more and more bizarre. What was originally a simple thing, but after they said it, it became messy, making Liu Jiu confused and completely confused!

There was no choice but to lead the army to continue rushing to Lian County!

Lian County.

The city defense fortifications are coming to an end. Li Qin stood on the city tower and looked at the defense line of the entire county town. For the upcoming Xiongnu soldiers, he knew that the city was difficult to defend, but he didn't have to defend it, it was just delaying time.

Jia Xu ran over with dust and shouted, "Aqin, all three city gates have been sealed, only the west gate is left. Should the strong men evacuate or stay in the city?"

Li Qin said: "Everyone must stay and tell them that they will be in the city for a lifetime. If they go out and are caught by the Hun soldiers, they will definitely die."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "I think so too. If I get caught, the key points of the city defense will be exposed."

The remaining soldiers were not only from Lian County, but also from the Qibu and Laojie Qiang. These Qiang, Di and Hu people lost their homes. Although they had grudges against each other, the root of the grudges was the Huns. If the Hun soldiers were not forced by them, the Laojie Qiang would not have attacked the Qibu, and Laojie Qiang was almost destroyed by the Xiong soldiers. They were all weak tribes whose families were destroyed and their people were destroyed. They had no practical significance to fight each other. They could only find common enemy, the Hun soldiers, to take revenge. Therefore, many of the strong soldiers also stayed and helped the Fujiao Army defend the city.

In the past few days, the military and civilians blocked the three city gates in the east, south and north, dug trenches outside the city to irrigate the ground, making the ground bumpy. Fortunately, God opened his eyes and rained all over the world, filling the trenches. As a result, the Hun soldiers were no longer able to attack the three city gates, leaving only the West Gate.

The principles of using troops and fighting in "The Art of War" listed in "The Art of War" are to attack cities, one is to surround three quarts and one, surround three sides, leaving only one side. This is not to be kind enough to let the enemy go, but to prevent the enemy from defending to death. When the enemy flees, they can pursue from behind and expand the results of the battle!

Li Qin was the defender, but he still used this principle, which was equivalent to forcing the Huns soldiers to attack from the west gate to prevent the Huns soldiers from breaking through other city gates!

The fortifications of the other three gates were built outside the city, while the main fortifications of the west gate were built inside the city. The city was covered with wooden fences and earth bags, which divided the city wall into small sections. In this way, even if the Hun soldiers attacked, they could not immediately occupy the entire city wall. Li Qin had a small number of troops, but there were many local forces, which could maintain the advantage of local forces and drive down the attacked Hun soldiers. Moreover, Li Qin did not block the Ximen, in order to close the door and fight the dogs!

Li Qin came to the west gate, and the rain hit his armor, making a crackling sound. He looked into the distance, and through the rain, he couldn't even see clearly a hundred steps away. He thought to himself: "What should come is always coming. The Hun soldiers will arrive in the past two days. I just hope that this rain will not stop, it will be better for a month!"

Liu Jiu finally led his army to Lian County. He was cautious and did not organize an attack immediately. Instead, he sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to investigate everywhere, waiting for a reward.

Thirty thousand Hun soldiers were all stopped in the rain and waited quietly. After the vanguard army was defeated, the Hun soldiers in the headquarters also knew about the Fujiao Army. After exaggerating the Fujiao Army in the defeated soldiers, even the Hun soldiers in the headquarters began to shake. If the Fujiao Army was really powerful and there were wizards in charge, would they win, and after winning, they could get the expected wealth and population, and could the great witch kill the lieutenant wizard? They were not sure about these!

The great witch was also in extreme annoyance. His son Gebge was captured and he didn't know his life and death. How could he have no reason to be anxious?

After waiting under the city for a long time, someone sent out the empty bag before someone returned. They also brought back a small team of Hun soldiers, who were defeated soldiers under the former Liu Shiyi. The centurion who led the army was named Piso, and he was the son of the thousand-man commander Qierma.

That day, Piso took people to chase Zhong Yu and Liu Xun. When he was halfway through, he was suddenly attacked by Gao Shun. In a crushing defeat, he could only lead his people to hide in the nearby villages, but did not participate in the battle between Liu Shiyi and Liu Heibao. But they happened to catch a person, and this person was actually Tang Biao who was protected by Gao Shun and others!

Tang Biao was a person who knew Li Qin's background. After being arrested, he said whatever he had and told him all about Li Qin's background. After hearing this, Piso thought Tang Biao was very useful and continued to hide in the countryside. They did not dare to come out to meet up until Liu Jiu came.

Peso's father and brother were both killed by Fujiao Army. He suffered a lot of grudges and vowed to the same side as Fujiao Army. As soon as he saw Liu Jiu, he immediately told everything he knew.

Liu Jiu asked them to bring Tang Biao up and asked with a pleasant look. Tang Biao was soaked all over and knelt in front of Liu Jiu's horse, without any backbone, and said whatever he asked, not afraid of foreign enemies being strong, but fear of fighting in the nest and traitors appearing!

When Liu Jiu learned that Li Qin was the one who snatched a thousand silk bowstrings from him, he finally remembered it. No wonder the name Fujiao always sounds familiar. It turned out to be him!

But Liu Jiu was not angry and thought to himself: "Li Qin is a great man. He is a general, better than all the generals under my command! It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. If you want to accomplish great things, you must have a good general. This Li Qin must be used by me!" He called the Great Demon Witch.
