Chapter 74 Dawn (Part 2)

The fires outside the city soared into the sky, and the sound of fighting broke through the sky. The ten princess raised her eyes and looked at the flags outside the city. The soldiers of the black and white soldiers shattered the heads of the people who were chopped under their feet and the blood like streams. The huge rocks rolled down to crush the Hu soldiers who were trying to climb up the city tower like insects. They could not raise any sandstorms when they fell, and there would be new Hu soldiers on their way.

The ten princess looked up at the distance and felt a little strange.

If it was a sneak attack, the Hu soldiers should have started to attack the city at night. Why did the soldiers guarding the city use huge rocks?

And those Hu soldiers were not interested in fighting, but just took the opportunity to launch wave after wave of small-scale charges.

Chen Er pulled his horse and placed his team on a secret earth slope in the distance, observing the situation in front of the city through the dense bushes.

The Tenth Princess whispered to Chen Er, who also frowned and thought about the intention of the Hu people to do so.

The two found a dead branch, found a piece of exposed soil, and squatted and showed the main city of northern border in front of them.

Chen Er concentrated on thinking for a while and shook his head: The Hu people did not act like the best, it was not like siege, but more like temptation, but I don’t know why they did this.

The ten princess held the dead branches in her hand, and was about to stand up and examine the rough layout from top to bottom. When she heard this, she seemed to think of something and murmured: "Dou Yin, Dou Yin... Chen Er!"

She suddenly raised the volume, and felt very unbelievable: Chen Er, how many small towns are near the main city?Where are the main roads leading to the main city?

Chen Er immediately drew several fortresses she said: Is the princess worried that the Hu people would have other plans?

The Hu soldiers are used to a surprise attack, and such a large-scale siege is not the tactic they are good at.Look at their formation in climbing the city, at first glance, they look very fast and hard to replenish troops, but carefully, those soldiers are not following each other, but are waiting for the previous round to die or be injured before they can follow.

The princess said it was quite reasonable. If it was to attack the city, there would be no thick wood that hit the door. These Hu soldiers were all cavalry, and the number of infantrymen in the front row was very limited. Even if the Northern Xinjiang City was broken, the cavalry would definitely not be able to defend the city.Chen Er nodded in agreement.

The Ten Princess said: It is far from this. General Jiang has rich combat experience and must have seen the entrance hall here, but he still sent people to fight here. I am afraid... the main city does not have enough manpower and needs to wait for reinforcements.

Chen Er was shocked: What should I do?Although they were not afraid of them, they were afraid that the reinforcements had not arrived, and the Hu army elsewhere attacked from other places. At that time, the Beijiang City and General Jiang would be attacked from both sides.

The Tenth Princess thought about it: At least one thing I know, that is the direction of the small village.The leader and his subordinates in that place have been killed by Yàn Zhi. Then, the leader without a leader is the best place to be repelled, which also shows that it is a crucial place.

Chen Er's eyes lit up: Princess, let's go there!

No, the Ten Princess stopped him, the main city gate, how many pairs of eyes were staring at the city.The people trapped in the city are staring at the wealthy businessmen, and the soldiers on the city tower are mostly among these people. How can they not let their relatives live at the last moment?

Once the news spreads, people in the city will feel unstable and internal conflicts will arise, and even the strongest wall will not be able to defend it.

It was fine for a moment, but now it was still possible to roll stones, and it would take an hour for reinforcements to arrive.The ten princess was strolling in a hurry. Now that we are fighting forward rashly, we must be killing us.

While speaking, Chen Er had already handed over the horse to a trust soldier, and the trust soldier galloped away: No matter how many of them are, even though the fire has been lit, he still has to send someone to see how reinforcements are.We might as well wait here and make other plans.

The ten princess thought about it and felt that this was the case. Early winter had begun to be short in the day and the night was long, and the group couldn't help but shivering in the fog-like forest.

After a while, the Tenth Princess heard the sound of footsteps and looked back and found that it was the soldier who appeared in front of them with dozens of farmers holding swords and sticks.

Didn’t you ask you to deliver a letter?Why did you lead them here?Chen Er asked.

The letter soldier replied: On the way, my subordinates met people from nearby villages. They were some militias recruited by General Jiang in the northern border. In the early morning, I heard the sound outside the main city and had already sent people to send the message. I knew that we were not in enough staff, so I asked my subordinates to bring them to reinforce first.

Chen Eryi thanked these farmers, but did not agree to let them go to the battlefield.

Although he was holding a knife and a stick in his hand and had been training for a few days, he was not as good as the soldiers who were serious in the military camp training day by day. At this time, he could only die when he faced the Hu soldiers.

While the two sides were fighting each other, the Tenth Princess observed the movement on the distant city tower and interrupted anxiously, and heard her ask: When will the reinforcements arrive?

The leader of the farmers did not notice the Tenth Princess before, thinking that Chen Er was the person in charge. He heard her question like this and calculated: It will take about half an hour to arrive, and the lady will ask what this is done. .

When the Tenth Princess heard this, she became even more anxious: No, I just saw that there were no rolling stones or arrows, but just machetes.

The princess said, there are no archers?How is that possible?Chen Er was also shocked and took two quick steps to look into the distance, and found that it was as true as the Ten Princess said.

The two looked at each other, and the Tenth Princess broke the silence first: There was an inner ghost in the city, and the arrow library was burned. The Hu people only launched an attack when they saw the fire.

When the farmers heard this, they were shocked: If there were no arrow soldiers in the city guarding the city, then the northern border city would not be dangerous!

The Tenth Princess was so anxious that half an hour, half an hour, can the machete last for half an hour?

While observing the situation of the northern border gates in silence, a group of people silently prayed in their hearts about the arrival of reinforcements.

Seeing that the battle situation became increasingly anxious, Chen Er couldn't help but ask Princess Ten: Let his subordinates take people to kill him, and let General Jiang's urgent need be.

No, there must be another way... The Tenth Princess hurriedly stopped Chen Er who was getting up and going. You will bring people there now, and there will be no benefit.

It’s a temporary delay!Princess!Chen Ershu had already pressed the sword handle and begged.

The farmers behind him were unwilling to interrupt: What kind of war is a woman?Just let us guys go!Die for the city, die without regrets!

Shut up!The Ten Princess angrily rebuked: Is it time to fight for loyalty now?Shut up all of them!

A drop of cold sweat slid from her forehead: I heard that reinforcements are coming now. What we can do now is to receive reinforcements, and the other is to disrupt the ideas of the Hu soldiers, so that they can get rid of their own positions, and the speed of siege will naturally slow down.

She stood up, looked around the available manpower, pointed at a dozen soldiers and said: You, go and receive the reinforcements that will be received, be sure to be quick.

Then he said to the rest: I have heard of the empty city plan before, but the Hu people didn't know the string songs. To cheat them, they had to change their ways.Everyone took off their tops or cloaks, tied them with their belts to their ponytails and dragged them on the ground, and mixed with sand and stones. The Hu people could not know if we were reinforcements, so they would come to us distractedly.

Chen Er nodded in agreement, and the farmers also untied their belts one after another.

A farmer also added: There is no need for a belt, the ready-made ropes and grass on the ground are tough and strong, so we all use them to tie firewood.So everyone pulled out the ropes and weeds on the ponytails.

He heard from the Tenth Princess' instructions: There is no armor to resist the attacks of the Hu soldiers. You can form in pairs. You just need to run a horse and make smoke and dust. You can't stay.Chen Er and the Tenth Princess rode a horse together. The Tenth Princess held a bow in her hand and said goodbye to them one by one.

Hu Bing under the city wall was climbing up the city wall one after another, and suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar. Looking back, he saw several unreal figures flashing by in the mist.

The sand and stones rising from the ground rushed down the city with the loud shouts of killing from the Han people.

Some Hu soldiers couldn't help but panic, and some two or three fell from the city wall when their feet were unstable.

The captain of the Hu soldiers shouted loudly at the dazed soldiers, raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted at the attack, but the Hu soldiers in the front row were flinched.

At this time, there is still a way out for escape. If the reinforcements from the Han people arrive and encircle them from both sides, it will be the consequence of being skinned and drinking blood.

The Captain Hu Bing angrily scolded: What are you afraid of!How many horses scare you like this?

His men were a little hesitant: But that situation was not like a false alarm. At this time, the deployment of the Second Prince had begun, and our role was also played. It would be better to withdraw.

The captain focused on listening to the sound of horse hooves but was disturbed by the battle under the city. After hesitating for a while, he slapped his thigh: Damn, go out in the direction of the sound!

General Jiang was always observing the direction of Hu Bing on the city tower. At that time, the spy of the Hu people sneaked into the city at some point and burned the arrow warehouse.

Soon, the Hu soldiers outside the city launched a surprise attack, responding inside and outside, and the people inside the city were panicked. The Hu soldiers outside the city shouted. Although General Jiang had secretly sent people to call for reinforcements, he took one hour to fight and the defense of the city lost its arrow became very difficult.

At this moment, the Hu soldiers under the city not only retreated, but also headed towards a forest in the distance.

He was secretly wondering, but the sentry came to report at this time: General, I don’t know who was outside the city to attract the Hu soldiers.

General Jiang climbed up to the platform and saw dust and smoke moving. After calculating, he realized that something was wrong. The reinforcements should have two quarters of an hour before they could arrive. And they saw dust and smoke rolling and no one was seen. It was really strange, so General Jiang still ordered the soldiers not to slacken in order to prevent the Hu people from returning.

The Hu people there rushed to the sound but no one was seen. They were about to kill and shoot back, but they heard a familiar shout of killing sound in the west. Captain Hu couldn't help but be very upset: Do you dare to play tricks on us?Wouldn't we, Kaz's warriors not be embarrassed if we didn't catch these little thieves today?

So they attacked west again.

When they arrived west, there was no one there.

I saw a few hoof marks, gravels and broken clothes on the ground, which was not afraid at all.

The Hu soldiers were already angry and had been wandering for a while, but they could not find it. They could only turn the horse's head and attack the city gate again.

When he returned to the door, the captain was furious: Grandma, warriors, if you don’t break through the Han people’s city gate today, you won’t have to go back and report your life!Give it to me!

But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing sounds sounded in my ears again. The captain smiled contemptuously: You Han people played the same trick once or twice, do you think we would be fooled for the third time?Kill it for me!

But his deputy replied tremblingly: General, general!This time it's true!It's true!

The captain looked back and saw a tide of Han troops surrounding them, and the flags of the hunting army rolled down with arrows, piercing them through their chests.

General Jiang also saw that the reinforcements were really coming, and ordered the soldiers to line up and open the door to meet the enemy. In an instant, the attack was reversed, and countless Hu soldiers were killed and injured, and the stacked corpses gradually covered the land under the city, turning the sand red.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Captain Hu Bing used his subordinates to escape from a glimmer of hope.But under the sky cut by morning light, a cool figure on a high earth slope was pulled all over the bowstrings.

At dawn, a sharp arrow as fast as a meteor rushed into his eyes, and his eyes were reflected in the rising sun.

On the city tower, General Jiang was moved when he saw this familiar figure.He rushed down the city tower and rode his horse towards the beautiful figure.

On the city tower, Twelve who came to the northern border in a very intimate manner also saw the ten princesses and General Jiang who had been worried about hugging each other tightly in the dazzling morning light.

He stared for a long time, as if he was reluctant or made up some decision, he limped downstairs, passing through the cheering soldiers and the people, and whispered to Lian Suqin who was accompanying him: Aunt, let's go.
