witch chaotic country

Chapter 73

Hu Xia's soldiers approached the city, although He Lu was anxious, he didn't dare to show it, he just asked, "Does Master Du have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Du Wen shook his head slightly.

The previous Wudu prefect ran away when the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded.Du Wen is a protégé of Old General Yao, so he filled this vacancy recently.As soon as he became familiar with county affairs after taking office, Hu Xia led troops to attack.He smashed his mouth, he didn't know if he didn't drink water for a day or what, he always felt bitter.

Although he knows he can't hold it, it is a disgrace to a general to surrender without a fight.Du Wen knew that the odds of winning were slim, so he had made up his mind to live and die with the city.

He ordered in a deep voice, "The main city is too short, so it won't be able to withstand a real fight. You can only rely on the flanks to cover it. Ren Bo and Zhou Zhichao, each of you lead three hundred archers to the towers on both sides, each with long arrows and short arrows. Thirty thousand. As long as there are enemy troops within range, don't let me see the arrows stop."

"The last general takes orders!"

"The last general takes orders!"

"Xue Lin, take five hundred archers and five hundred shield soldiers to guard the main city, and then bring the rolling logs and asphalt up to the city." After he finished his orders, he cupped his hands and said to He Lu, "Please also invite Master He to take refuge in the city. Dangerous, it's hard to guarantee Mr. He's safety."

He Lu didn't pay any attention at all, and called the people in the team to gather together, "Master Du, don't look down on us. This team was selected by Prime Minister Zuo himself, and they are all based on the material that one tops ten. What do you think, my lord?" Need it, just ask."

Seeing his persistence, Du Wen nodded gratefully, and arranged for several people to go around the city wall.

Everyone was ready to fight, but the strange thing was that Hu Xia's men did not attack for a long time.

Just when Du Wenze and He Lu were wondering, a small soldier ran up from the tower and reported that there were people at the entrance of the secret road in the city.The person who came here claimed to be a person who went to the Northern Wei Dynasty with Mr. He as an envoy, and he came here to ask for instructions on whether to open the secret passage and let people in.

Du Wen looked at He Lu, but He Lu looked blank.All the people in his team came back intact.Could it be someone from Yao Zhongjian?

Seeing that Hu Xiajun had no intention of attacking the city immediately, Du Wen called Ren Bo, the garrison general who was guarding the side building, and asked him to take command temporarily, while he led He Lu down the tower.

"No matter who it is, go and see first." Du Wen had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that there would be some good news from Yinping.

At the gate of the secret road, He Lu and the people in the secret road asked and answered a few times, only to find out that the people who came were not from Yao Zhongjian's team, but two officials who were born in Yinping left behind by Yao Yu when he set off.

He Lu hurriedly asked Du Wenze to open the secret door and let people in.

As a result, as soon as the big stone at the door was removed, three people came out from the secret passage.

Both Du Wenze and He Lu were taken aback, and the surrounding soldiers also pointed Ge Jian at the third person who followed.

The two officials who were let in hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong! This is Mr. Meng Shimeng. Mr. Meng hid us among the goods, so that we were able to leave Northern Wei safely and return to Qiuchi."

Master Meng hurriedly greeted everyone, and the soldiers in Wudu also put away their weapons.

He Lu asked impatiently, "Aren't you two following the chief envoy? Why did you come back by yourself first?"

The two looked at each other, then clasped their hands to He Lu and Du Wen and said, "Please take a moment to speak, my lords."

Du Wen hurriedly found an empty room, sent people to guard the surroundings, and brought everyone in to continue the conversation.

One of the two people who came back was Qiu An, who was more eloquent, so he told Du Wenze and He Lu what happened.

"After the mission returned to Qiuchi in two ways, Immortal Fairy wanted to go to Tuoba Pojun to borrow troops. After all, Qiu Chi and Tuoba Pojun are clearly related to each other. But unexpectedly, Emperor Wei probably guessed it On this point, Tuoba Pojun was deliberately left in the palace on the grounds of asking for advice on how to lead the army. This stay will last for three days."

"What? Immortal Fairy? Isn't Immortal Fairy retreating at the altar to pray for blessings? How could she be in the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Du Wen was surprised.

He Lu pulled Du Wenze away, "It's not important, don't interrupt, let him continue!"

Du Wen's eyes widened, "Isn't it important?! The whole Qiuchi thinks that Immortal Fairy is in seclusion and invites the heavenly soldiers and generals to come down to defeat Xia Jun. Now you tell me it's not important?"

He Lu and the others looked at Du Wenze with foolish expressions on their faces.

Du Wen gave up, "Okay, okay, you say it, you say it first!"

Qiu An continued, "Xian Ji was afraid that she would not be able to persist in the middle school to invite reinforcements, so she asked Master Meng to escort us back to Qiuchi first. We took a shortcut day and night and arrived at Nanshou Mountain before Hu Xiajun."

"Nan Shoushan?" He Lu was puzzled.

"It's the original Golden Mountain," Du Wen explained for him, "Immortal Fairy thinks it looks like a stone gate, so she just renamed it Nanshou Mountain. But what are you going to Nanshou Mountain for?"

Qiu An said, "Master Du, did you know that there is a high ground in Nanshou Mountain. If you stand there and shout, you will hear the echoes from the surrounding mountains, as if thousands of people shouted at the same time. Immortal Fairy ordered us to stand there and learn to A woman's voice shouted, 'Anyone who offends my fairyland will be punished by heaven.'”

"Can this work?" Du Wen obviously didn't believe it.

"It works!" Master Meng suddenly interjected, "You didn't see those Hu Xia people. When you heard the voice, you thought it came from the sky, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed! If He Lianbo hadn't killed more than a dozen The soldiers retreating, and those who retreated were ordered to die, it is estimated that Hu Xiajun will be scared out of his wits there."

Meng Shi once fought many battles with Tan Daoji, and was sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty as a spy after he was injured.Although he knows that soldiers are expensive to attack, and strategy is expensive to attack the heart.But he didn't expect that such a small trick of taking advantage of the terrain could shake the morale of the army so much.

Most people in the North believe in Buddhism, and they have a natural awe of gods and Buddhas.When the Hu Xia people heard the surrounding mountains shouting "Those who offend my fairy land, the heavens will punish them.", they thought it was the mountain god who was angry and was coming to take their lives.

"So that's the case. No wonder they didn't attack even though they were all under the city." Du Wenze finally realized something.In fact, what surprised him even more was that the Fairy Fairy, who thought she was doing mysterious sacrifices and praying for blessings, was actually lining up troops on the front line!
"Does Xian Ji have other things to say?" He Lu always felt that Xian Ji had a plan.

Qiu An and the two shook their heads, and He Lu couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

Master Meng laughed at himself, he was afraid that he would also be deceived by the girl.He said he was worried about the safety of Qiu An and the others, so he must personally escort them to Wudu City.In fact, she knew that Qiu Chi was not many strong generals who were good at leading troops, so she tricked him to supervise the battle for Qiu Chi before the battle and give advice.

"Actually..." Master Meng said after deliberation, "We observed Hu Xiajun all the way just now, and found that they never gave any food to the Hanyang captives who were pretending to be death camps. I guess they thought they were going to die anyway, and it was a waste to give them food."

Du Wen's eyes lit up, "It will take four or five days for those prisoners to come here. They must be full of resentment if they haven't eaten for such a long time. If they can be persuaded to defect, there may be a possibility of a war."

Master Meng waved his hand, "It's useless. They've been scared to death and convinced. Even if you kill their family members in front of them, they won't resist."

Du Wen frowned, "Then why are you mentioning these people?"

Master Meng was not annoyed by Du Wenze's rebuke, "Resistance is impossible, but it doesn't mean that their instincts are gone. They have been hungry for so many days. If we throw a small amount of food down, it will definitely cause the prisoners to panic." Looting, then Hu Xia's deployment will be disrupted."

"High! It's really tall!" Du Wen is actually a straight person, who was displeased just now, but now he is smiling.

Master Meng was still worried, "It can only be delayed for a while. When Hu Xia abandons the captives and lets his soldiers go into battle, this tough battle will still be fought."

He Ludao, "It's only a moment if it can be delayed. I believe Xianji will find a way to solve the current predicament..."

Du Wen sighed, even if they could solve the death camp, they were still helpless against Hu Xia's newly built catapult.
