Da Wei Chun

Chapter 596 Breakthrough
Even Yuwen Yuanqing can see the clues, let alone Yuanhui?

After taking a closer look, he felt more and more strange.

Although there are only more than a thousand riders under the city, the army formation is fortified and does not move.Every army besieging the city is like a wall of iron and steel.

About a mile away, I saw dust and smoke rising faintly, and the sound of screaming, obviously there were another armored cavalry wandering around, in case the messenger sent by the city for help broke out of the encirclement.

Other than that, there was no extra sound to be heard?

But all Hu people, no matter Tuyuhun or Rouran, are tribal.Serving the people when shepherding, and serving as soldiers during wartime, it can be seen that his military discipline is lax.

But today, let's not talk about laughing and cursing, and showing off, there is no one who even whispers to each other.The city was even more terrifyingly quiet, as if the thousands of riders were all stone carvings.

If it was Hu Jun, how could he have such military discipline?
"This is not a thief, this is definitely not a thief... This is definitely not a thief..."

At the beginning, he seemed to be talking to himself, but when he tilted slightly, it was like roaring violently, as if he had seen a ghost.

The officials of the state government and a group of generals looked at Yuanhui, and then at the city, secretly slandering in their hearts: Could it be that Shi Jun was dazzled, or was he dumbfounded by fright?

If the thousands of enemies in felt hats, leather robes, and felt boots in the city were not Hu thieves, could it be the Han army?

The Wuwei County Guard frowned, pondered for a moment, then leaned over and asked in a low voice: "In Shi Jun's opinion, could it be the Southern Army?"

"Except for the Southern Army, is there no Han Army anywhere else?"

Yuan Hui gritted his teeth tightly, "Don't forget that Xihai Remains..."

The Wuwei County Sheriff showed a look of idiot-like eyes.

In the autumn of last year, when Rouran withdrew his troops, he sent troops to invade Hexi.Li Shao, governor of Dongliang Prefecture, saw the opportunity early, and at the beginning of autumn, he ordered the people of Zhangye and Wuwei counties to rush to harvest autumn grain, even if it was unripe.Then the households were ordered to withdraw into the county and state cities.

At that time, Song Ying, the governor of Xiliang Prefecture, was restrained by Li Shao, but her eyes were high above the top, and she was proud of being favored, and she didn't take Li Shao's warning to heart at all.Therefore, they underestimated the enemy and did not take half precautions.

The result was as expected by Li Shao, in mid-September, Rouran cavalry suddenly invaded from the north.Because of the precautions, the thieves returned to Dongliangzhou without success, they just burned down two county offices, and did not even grab the bales of grass.

But Xiliangzhou is the opposite.

Hu Qi even broke Huishui (now Jiuquan Golden Pagoda) and Biaoshi (now Zhangye Gaotai, which belonged to Jiuquan at that time) two counties, Fandingkou, cattle and horses, etc. were captured and emptied.After besieging Jiuquan County for nearly a month, all the autumn grains in the county amounted to more than one million mu, and nearly three million stones were plundered by him.

If it wasn't for the news that the Dunhuang town army came to the rescue, Jiuquan County and the city would have been almost broken.

Even Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Wuwei, which have reached the heart of Hexi, are like this. How can Xihai, which is close to the boundary of Rouran, survive?

And when he took office, that is, more than a month ago, Yuan Hui sent the Chinese army who came with him to see it.Whether it is the county seat or the north of Zhenyiguan, they have all been burned.Now it's scorched earth, how can the Hexi Relics come from?

Unaware that the governor of Wuwei was secretly mocking him, Yuan Hui felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.

If the thousands of riders under the city hadn't been for the Xihai Legion, he would have dared to cut off his head and kick it as a ball.

Pretend to be a horse thief, but you pretend to be a little bit like it?
Because of this, it made him even more frightened: no accident, the incoming enemy vowed to destroy the city.I don't know if other people can live, but the governor is obviously dead...

In addition to being frightened, he couldn't figure it out:
In the first ten days of the year, the general of Dunhuang Town, the governor of Xiliang Prefecture, and the governor of the eastern and western prefectures sent a military order, ordering Dongliang Prefecture to send [-] troops to join forces with him to patrol the northern border.

Others don't know, but Yuan Hui was well aware of the opportunity given by the Empress Dowager and Yuan Cheng secretly: this move is only second to the mirror of Liangzhou and Rouran, and the expulsion of the nomadic Hu tribe in the West Sea.It is true to find out whether the Hexi Yi tribe who was born in the sky is hiding in the West Sea, and whether it is Li's trilogy.

And it's only been ten days, and he hasn't even assembled his troops yet, so the Xihai Legacy came to him first?

Are you not afraid that after being informed by the court, a large army will be dispatched to raze the West Sea to the ground?
Yuan Hui endured the fear, and confessed to the left and right: "Drink with me: 'Li thief, you can't rebel'? Be careful, hide behind the shield, the dog thief in the city has a strong crossbow..."

His subordinates were at a loss, not knowing where this "Li thief" came from.But no one said anything, and they all acted on their words.

Not long after, more than a hundred soldiers gathered on the top of the city, holding shields in front, and people hiding behind the shields, shouting in unison: "Hey, thief Li, are you going to rebel?"

Li Liang was slightly startled: Was he recognized?
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help laughing again.

Even the imperial court believed more than they believed, thinking that the Xihai Remains was a trilogy of Li's trilogy, and nine out of ten were rumors.Even Li Shao, who was very close to Li Chengzhi, didn't know whether the old Li clan was still hidden in the West Sea after Rouran crossed the border, how could Yuan Hui know?

The traitor just recognized that the army besieging the city was not Hu Bing, and also associated with the Western Sea Relics, so he was cheating.

Li Liang smiled slightly, and confessed in a low voice: "Order to beg Xi, order him to go to the city to persuade him to surrender..."

Li Xiaozhang promised in a low voice, and took the order to leave.

After a while, several riders rushed to the foot of the city about ten feet away.

This time, it was the real barbarian who came.

Qixi was originally a member of the Lushui Hu tribe, nomadic in Hexi for generations, and joined when the Juqu clan built Beiliang. After Emperor Taiwu destroyed Beiliang, his family defected to Rouran, nomadic in the Junji Mountain area (north of the West Sea).

Hou Rouran and Gaoche continued to conquer, and the Qixi tribe was conscripted year after year, with ten tents and nine empties, and none of the clan was young or strong.After being unbearable for military service, Yu Bu fled to the south and escaped to Junji Mountain to live in the West Sea. It has been nearly twenty years, and the household has nearly a thousand tents. He is the most powerful branch of the West Sea.

After Li Song led his troops to Zhenyi, he won three battles and three victories. The leader of the Qixi tribe died in battle, and the remnant tribe was incorporated.Now it is one of the three battalions of Huqi in Xihai. Qi Xi gave up his original name and was crowned by Li Song as his clan surname.

Hearing that Li Liang ordered him to go down to the city to persuade him to surrender, Qi Xi didn't panic, so he brought a dozen followers, and slowly urged the horse, swaggeringly stopped about ten feet away from the city.

At this time, the sky is already bright, and the morning glow is like fish scales, scattered and orderly, and the golden light is shining.

Being so close, Yuan Hui and the officials standing at the top of the city could clearly see the faces of the beggars and the followers.

Yellow hair, yellow beard, even the eyes are yellow.The breeze blows over the top of the city, and you can even smell a smell of mutton.

"If you wait until you open the city and surrender within a day, you can spare your life, otherwise you will be spared..."

Qi Xi spoke the Xianbei language, and the characters were correct and round. Not to mention Yuan Hui, even many Han officials and Han soldiers could understand the general meaning, but Yuan Hui still firmly believed that there was no doubt that the Han army was under the city.

"You dog thief, hurry up and exchange the Han general for an answer, or don't blame me for being ruthless...Left and right, shoot me..."

Real shot?

Seeing a general in the city raised his bow, Qixi tensed his tail, quickly raised his shield and hurried his horse.

But no matter how fast people are, they are not as fast as the arrows, so they can barely turn the horse, and the bows are fired on the city, only to be tied for a while, and there are a total of ten riders, and none of them miss the arrow.

But the strange thing is, there are so many arrows stuck in his body, but he didn't see a single Hu Bing fall from his horse, or a war horse stumble?
After hearing a few whistles, the man and the horse had already run tens of feet.

Just facing the wind, and running so fast, the leather robe on the man and the felt armor on the horse were blown off by the wind.At this time, the sun happened to stick out his head, and Yuan Hui felt countless silver lights stabbing him, making him dizzy.

Take a closer look, no matter the man or the horse, under the leather robe and felt armor, it is clearly still wearing bright armor.

That's all for people, even the horses are equipped like this, counting the Great Wei, only the tiger riders of the Chinese army have this treatment.

Even if Fu Lianchou (Lord of Tuyuhun) was dismantled and sold, he still couldn't make up so many armors, and it was not the Han army that came down from the city?
it's over...

Yuan Hui felt that all thoughts were lost.

In the past year, he has been helping the tyrant a lot, helping Yuanying to harm Li Chengzhi.

Regardless of the rest, it's just that Li Chengzhi was assassinated in front of the Gaofu, and his handwriting was among them.

Without the secret assistance of the Embroidered Clothes Guards, even if Yuan Yinggui is one of the eight assistants, it is absolutely impossible to transfer hundreds of armored assassins to the inner city without anyone noticing...

Li Chengzhi suspected him nine out of ten, but there was definitely no evidence.

But why does such a thing need evidence?

With a livid face, Yuan Hui gritted his teeth fiercely: "Xin Xiong!"

The governor of Wuwei County bowed slightly: "The officer is here!"

"Recruit soldiers and horses, prepare to break through!"

Breakthrough, how do you break through?
Xin Xiong stared fixedly at Yuan Hui, changed his mind for a moment, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Mr. Shi, the incoming enemies are all cavalry, and they have no siege weapons, let alone the ability to siege the city. Besides, there are no cattle or sheep. If you follow the army, you should not have much rations. Therefore, you only need to stick to it for three to five days, and the bandit army will retreat..."

Meaning why do you take such a big risk?

Since Yuan Hui was talking about breaking out of the siege, he must send out a large army, and then he must open the city gate.And if one is not careful, the city gate may be taken by the enemy. Wouldn't it be because of a small loss?
Instead of this, it is better not to stick to it.

Do you know a bird feather?
Yuan Hui's swear words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back abruptly.

This is not the time to offend Xin Xiong, otherwise who would attract the enemy for him?

"Because the enemy army has no cattle and sheep, there must be a rear army. Not to mention waiting for three or five days, at most one or two days, there will be a siege weapon delivered, and it will be too late to break through the encirclement and deliver the letter. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the enemy's foothold is not stable at this time, and send armored cavalry together to break out and ask for help..."

Angrily, he pointed down the city, "Furthermore, at this point, Governor Xin still thinks that the thieves in the city are Hu thieves?"

It's just a dozen sets of armored cavalry, it's hard to guarantee that it's not the enemy who deceives you and confuses you.

Even though he had such a guess in his heart, Xin Xiong didn't say anything more, but respectfully agreed, and wanted to hear how Yuan Hui broke through.

"The four cities are now under siege by enemy troops. Since Mr. Shi wants to break out of the siege and ask for help, where does he want to go?"

Yuan Hui didn't make a sound, just squinted his eyes.

At this time, the sun was rising in the east, and there were no mountains and forests outside the city, and it was several miles away as far as the eyes could see.

Looking around, you can see that the enemy's army is very evenly distributed, and there are only a thousand horses outside each city.In the distance, there is only a little smoke and dust rising, it should be a few rangers patrolling, and there is no ambush.

Looking at it this way, Yuan Hui felt more hopeful to break through.

"Jin Lingzhou soldiers, pretend to attack the two sides of the northwest, don't be stingy with arrows, set up the crossbow, and put a few arrows... a certain guard here, will wait for the opportunity to send the Chinese army out of the city..."

Yuan Hui wants to make a fool of himself?
But the enemy general is not a stupid pig, as long as he has eyes, he can see you through...

Cursed in his heart, Xin Xiong just responded, and went down the wall towards Beicheng.

……

"Brother, there must be Yuan Hui in the city, right? This thief is very courageous..."

Li Zhang sat on the horse, looked up at his neck for a while, and saw a crowd of black people in the city, not to mention which one was Yuan Hui, he couldn't even tell which one was a soldier or which one was a general.

How courageous?
Li Liang shook his head lightly: "It's not that Yuan Hui is stubborn, but that he has seen through our origins, and he knows that once the city is destroyed, he will die, so he is hard on the outside and hard on the inside, just trying to die... If As I expected, within a few moments, Yuan Hui will surely break through..."

Li Zhang narrowed his eyes and showed suspicion: "There are soldiers besieged on all sides, where is he going to break out?"

"There are only a thousand soldiers...Don't forget that when Yuan Hui left the capital, apart from the secret envoys of Xiu Yiwei, Yuan Cheng also appointed him a thousand Chinese troops, all of whom were armored cavalry. Although there was no hope of relief, But if you break through, you can still try..."

So what if it's a cavalry of the Thousand Chinese Army, isn't it unknown?
Seeing Li Zhang pouted secretly, Li Liang guessed what he was thinking at a glance, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't underestimate the enemy... If you let Yuan Hui go, I will only ask you!"

"what?"

Li Zhang gasped in surprise, "Yuan Hui wants to escape?"

"What do you think?"

Li Liang said coldly, "Otherwise, why didn't he leave any leeway? The two armies are fighting, and they don't want to beheaded, but Yuan Hui wants to do the opposite, because he knows he will die, and he has no greed for mediation." Dare to have..."

Li Zhang became anxious immediately: "Then where will he escape from?"

"Don't care where he escaped from, Jin ordered all the battalions to guard against it. No matter which city opens the gate, shoot a horse as soon as it goes out, and kill the team as soon as it goes out. Don't leave!"

"Brother can save..."

Li Zhang responded in a deep voice, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a crisp sound from the city.

It is diabolo, also known as tiezi, which is mostly used in the army for communication and warning in addition to the use of watchmen and watchmen.

Li Liang raised his head suddenly, and saw arrows raining down like locusts, covering the sky and covering the earth with great momentum.

But the cavalry under the city didn't seem to have seen it, and didn't move at all.

With a distance of a hundred steps, even the walking bow has lost much strength, and the former soldier's horse armor is only the outer leather robe and felt armor, so it won't be hurt at all.

Sure enough, seven or eight of the ten arrows were exhausted after reaching sixty or seventy paces, and at most twenty to thirty percent flew to around one hundred paces, but they fell immediately after touching them, and they didn't even pierce the leather robe.

Quite a few were thrown, and some were nailed to the felt hats, but there was only a ding ding dong dong, like the sound of gold and iron colliding.

A few felt hats were shot off, suddenly revealing the iron helmets underneath, round and round, as if half of a bright silver porcelain urn had been buckled.

Li Liang stared intently for a few moments, and saw that every ten or so archers in the city had an empty gap.Afterwards, several soldiers formed a group, as if they were holding something, it looked quite big.

He pondered for a moment, then shouted loudly: "Yuanhui should be breaking through soon, Li Zhang, don't delay here, go and keep an eye on the second northwest gate... Li Xiaoyan, order the whole army to raise their shields, the formation should be sparser, and guard The army should be sending out crossbows... well, let's blow the whistle, don't blow the trumpet, lest the order be unclear..."

Li Zhang hit the horse and left, Li Xiaoyan responded, took out the copper whistle and blew vigorously.

Hearing the sharp whistle, as if a nail had been driven into his forehead, Yuan Hui could only feel a buzzing in his head.

Also said that this is not Li's trilogy?
