Chapter 63 The Enemy Comes

The first year of Yongjia.March.Jiexiu. <The autumn sage Jie Zitui was named after his death here, and it is an important town in the northeast of Xihe County.Although the city is small, it is very strong.

When the Xiongnu army came here in late autumn last year, Jiexiu ordered Jia Hun to occupy the city and guard it. After the city was broken, he died without surrendering. Everyone at that time sighed his loyalty.After Yue Shigong defeated Liu Jing's troops, the power of the Xiongnu shrank, and this place became the southernmost point where Liu Kun's order to take power in Jinyang reached, facing the Xiongnu across many mountains.

To the southwest of Jiexiu City, not far from Gaobiling, is Queshu Valley, a critical pass for military strategists.Here is a narrow valley split by the Fenshui River like a knife and ax between the high mountains. In the valley, there are tens of miles of narrow roads, tossing and turning, and every step is frightening. It seems that only birds and mice can pass safely. , hence the name. Taifen, the head of the nine fortresses in the world mentioned in "Autumn", is the Queshu Valley.If you go north to Jinzhong from the Hedong Plain, this is the main passage.After Liu Kun took command of Jinyang, he dispatched his general, Yokoye General Lu Chang, with a thousand elite soldiers to garrison here.He also appointed Lang Shuo, a native of Pingyang, to assist Lu Chang.

Lu Chang's character Shize comes from the Shuzong of the Lu family in Fanyang.He abandoned literature and turned to martial arts during the Taiyuan period, and followed Liu Kun to fight in the north and south, and his footprints spread all over the banks of the river.He can shoot left and right with a strong bow, and is good at wielding a big sword. His bravery is always ahead of all generals.A few years ago during the Battle of Heqiao, he led his iron cavalry into battle. Although he defeated ten times as many enemies, he was stabbed in the chest by a white knife while fighting with the enemy.Liu Kun was so shocked that he invited famous doctors to treat him, and even inspected the decoction himself.

In the end, although Lu Chang saved his life, he injured his lungs. After that, he became short of breath and often coughed continuously.Therefore, he gradually seldom faced the enemy in person, but instead imitated the style of the commanding general.

Lu Chang's character is calm and thoughtful. Since guarding Jiexiu, he has organized soldiers to repair and strengthen the city, and set up enemy towers and high fortifications.And every day in turn to dispatch the season, hundreds of households moved in from the deep mountains one after another.These people are local residents who fled into the mountains only to escape the war.Seeing that the situation had stabilized a bit, after all, they could not leave their homeland, so they turned back one after another.Lu Chang arranged them one by one.Seeing the small city of Jiexiu, it gradually gained some popularity.

At noon that day, as soon as Lu Chang came out of the courtyard, he heard his subordinates making noise, so he went to drink and asked what was the reason.It turned out that a patrol team sent yesterday failed to return to the city in time.

According to the usual practice in the past, this group of people set off at noon yesterday, camped overnight in the Queshu Valley and then set off to return. At this time, they should arrive in the city to hand over to the next group of patrolling troops.This is a common practice for the military to send out sentries, and everyone is familiar with it, and there has been no mistake in the past two months.Unexpectedly, less than half an hour has passed since the handover time today, and the members of the previous team still haven't returned.

When Lu Chang heard this, he was furious immediately: "Such an important matter must be reported to me immediately! You and others are arguing in private, isn't it a major event?"

He raised his hand and slapped the most noisy soldier, and then ordered: "Today, I will lead the team to set off as a sentry soldier! All the generals in the city, prepare your horses and equipment immediately!..."

Following Lu Chang's order after order to send down the water price, the people in the entire Jiexiu City immediately became busy.But in a moment, everything was ready, and dozens of elite warriors gathered neatly.Lu Chang played a long game again, and was about to lead the army out of the city.

Suddenly, a hissing voice was heard from the watchtower on the city wall: "Human! Huren! Brigade of Huren is coming!"

Lu Chang hurriedly took the soldiers to the top of the city to have a look.I saw wave after wave of army horses coming out of the Queshu Valley in the distance, and within a short while, a huge army formed.Hundreds of military flags of various colors fluttered in the army formation, and various ferocious beasts were painted on the flags, setting off groups of infantry and cavalry like wolves and tigers.The armored soldiers of the whole army, Ge Yaori, were full of murderous aura.There is also the sound of desolate and chilling trumpets sounding from time to time, spreading far away in the vast wilderness.Just looking at the soldiers and horses on the field outside the valley at this moment, there are probably no less than [-] to [-] soldiers, and the people and horses in the valley are still pouring out, seemingly endless, never stopping!

This... This is clearly the main force of the Huns!Lu Chang only felt a chill coming up from his tailbone. He knew that the Jinyang army and the Xiongnu were at odds, and sooner or later there would be a series of bloody battles. Army! <In season, the horses are thin and weak, and second, they are prone to diseases. Therefore, since ancient times, the Hu people in the north have inherited the habit of sending troops to fight when the horses are fat in autumn.Not to mention Lu Chang, even the civil and military officials of Jinyang, including Yue Shigong, did not expect the Xiongnu to be so impatient.

Lu Chang carefully identified the banners of the Huns in the forest, and murmured the identity and name of the leading general: "Fu Han General He Tuyan!...Champion General Qiao Xi!...Destroy Jin General Liu Jing!... ...Great General Hu Yanhao, Great General of Rebellion!...General Liu Qin of Wu Ya!...General Hu Yanyan, Great General of Conquering Captives!...Great Sima Hu Yanyi!"

These people are all famous Xiongnu generals who are powerful enough to stop children crying at night. For several years, they have criss-crossed the vast land from Dahe in the south to Yinshan in the north, killing Jin army corpses like mountains!Only a dozen or so names were announced one by one, like a heavy boulder, and Lu Chang was almost suffocated under the pressure.The faces of the soldiers standing beside him were even paler.

Before Lu Chang could identify it clearly, an incomparably huge pure white banner was erected high in the formation of the Huns.At that time, tens of thousands of Huns shouted like a tsunami, even if they heard it in Jiexiu City, it was deafening!

Lu Chang raised his eyebrows, gritted his teeth and signed up, "The Xiongnu Great Shan Yu Liu Yuan!"

Today's No. [-] traitor, the Huns' ruler of the Han Dynasty, and the Huns' great Shanyu Liu Yuan and Liu Yuanhai, who established themselves as kings of the Han Dynasty, actually led the troops here in person!

Lu Chang held the crenel with his hands and watched the enemy's military appearance carefully.Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, it turned out that it was Jiexiu's son Shuo who hurried over.

Lu Chang asked: "But I didn't expect the Hu thieves to attack on a large scale... How does Mr. Lang act as an enemy?"

Lang Shuo pondered: "The Hu bandits came here with a large army. The grass is barren and the horses are weak. At this time, Liu Yuanhai hastily raised his troops to fight. Hey, it’s a pity that the key to Jinyang is Jiexiu, but since Lu sits at the head of Jiexiu’s city, the barbarians won’t dare to look north.”

At this time, a horse galloped from a distance from the Hun army. It turned out that a Han official who had surrendered to the Huns came to persuade him to surrender.The emissary immediately moved away a hundred paces, and just as he roared twice, he saw a silver star flying, hitting his throat, and immediately fell off his horse.Lu Chang's archery skills are also ranked among the top five in the Jinyang Army, and this arrow is really fast and ruthless!

On the top of the city, Lu Chang sneered and put down the special strong bow in his hand, and sternly said to the soldiers: "Since Lu has been with the lord, he has experienced more than sixty battles, big and small, and he will fight bravely. With great trust and the post of city guard, it is convenient to live and die with Jiexiu. The army must work hard, and those who shake the morale of the army will be killed! Those who fail to fight will be killed!"

After a while, first a few messengers galloped out from the north gate of Jiexiu, and then the soldiers and civilians in the city joined hands and blocked the four gates with mud, rocks and wood.

In fact, the key to defending a city is to have an attack while defending. It is very important to maintain a strong counterattack force and a reliable counterattack channel.If the difference in the number of the two armies is not too large, usually the four gates will be kept unobstructed for the soldiers and horses in the city to attack.But at this moment, the gap between the enemy and us is too great, so Lu Chang has to make up his mind that he can't shrink back.

Lu Chang's arrow also caused a lot of clamor in the enemy's formation.After the Huns reorganized their army a bit, they dispatched troops to surround Jiexiu City.
