Chapter 9 Reinforcements

The Huns brought by Amu quickly controlled the city gates, and except for some people who were earlier heard of the news, they escaped from the city.[][]...[] Tens of thousands of Han people became prisoners of the Huns.

Amu ordered people to quickly identify them. Those who were suitable for taking them to the grassland would be brought back to the grassland. Those who were not suitable for taking them back to the grassland would be fooled on the spot. Of course, this would have to be handled by the reinforcements sent by the Great Shanyu. He was not crazy, thinking that he would dare to kill tens of thousands of Han people with his thousand people.

"Master Qianqi, a Han army appeared outside the south gate. It seemed..." Qi Lie hesitated.

"It seems like something?" Amu sat on the county magistrate's chair and roasted lamb legs. Just under the plum tree not far from the door, the county magistrate's family was buried there alive.

"It seems to be a black armored cavalry."

"What?" Amu's hand shook, and the lamb leg in his hand fell into the charcoal fire. A stream of black smoke combined with the charcoal ash made him cough.

"It's the black armored cavalry. I saw it with my own eyes when I went to Nancheng. They were all wearing black armor, which was extremely conspicuous in the snow, and it was easy to identify." Qi Lie hurriedly explained when he saw Amu's appearance.

"Didn't the Great Shanyu say that they have rebelled against the Great Han? Why did they appear here? Let's go to Nancheng to take a look."

Amu threw down the wine and lamb legs in his hand, and took Qi Lie out of the county government office to fly on the horse. He then rode the horse and headed towards the south gate.

The snow reflected the sun's light, which made people unable to open their eyes. Amu blocked his hands on his eyes. Sure enough, there was a team of black armored knights six or seven miles away. They were all wearing black armor and riding tall horses under their crotch.

The armor, the horse, and the snow-white cloaks all proved that they were the black armored cavalry that scared the Huns. However, they seemed to be in a small number. It seemed that there were only a few hundred people.

A clump of hay was lit up in the wilderness, and I don’t know what they added to the hay. A thick stream of black smoke rushed into the sky, and they were reporting the message. In other words, it would not take long before the main force of the black-armored cavalry would arrive.

"Master Qianqi, they are sending a message. Let's go out of the city to kill them, otherwise there will be trouble if there are too many people." Qi Lie looked at Amu and said nervously.

"You know, we are cavalry. They are cavalry, and their horses are faster than us. You can be sure that we can run past them? Besides, you forgot to win 500 to 1,000 outside Seoul. We must keep people to defend the city. How many people can be sent to fight them."

Amu scolded Qi Lie. The young boy still needs to be trained. But he only has one life, and sometimes he must be careful. Otherwise, once he dies, there is no possibility of survival.

"Now we can only wait for the people sent by the Great Shanyu. As long as we have the advantage of the number of people, we are not afraid of them attacking. Follow the Great Shanyu to retreat." Amu glanced at the black-armored cavalry in the distance and ordered people to strengthen the defense of the Nancheng and returned to the county government.

As early as when he robbed the Han army's grain truck, he had sent people back to report to King Hu Qiang. It is estimated that the Great Shanyu is also rushing to Shuo County. This is the first time since the advancing of this army. The Great Shanyu naturally has to come to inspect and show off his strength. Calculate the days. It should also be here today and tomorrow. At that time, the Great Shanyu is here, and everything is left to the Great Shanyu.

Until the evening, the black-armored cavalry had no intention of siegeing the city. Instead, they set up camps from afar, and seemed to be waiting for reinforcements. If the Great Shanyu did not come tomorrow, they should have siege the city.

Not worried about defending the city Amu. Although the Huns were not good at defending, it was easier to defend such a tall city wall. He was most afraid of things like black armored cavalry that would explode, and that thing was really hard to defend. As soon as it exploded, not only would the horse be frightened, but the people were scared.

Moreover, that thing has a very powerful lethality. As long as it explodes, it will be killed by small iron pieces within a radius of one meter. The Huns' leather robe cannot protect against the small and cruel iron pieces. Many brothers were blinded by this kind of thing, and now they live a life or death on the grassland.

Amu lay on the county magistrate's couch and went to bed for a while and woke up for a while. He dreamed that the county magistrate's family was looking for his life. He dreamed that the black armored cavalry rushed into the city at night. Finally, it was dawn, and Amu felt dizzy and touched his head and was so hot.

I didn't have the time to eat the breakfast I took Qi Lie to Nancheng to see the movements of the black-armored cavalry.

Smokes of cooking fires were rising from the camps of the black-armored cavalry. From a distance, they could only see a big pot of steaming. Even when eating, some knights rode on horses and looked at this side from afar. They were so vigilant that they were rare in the Han army.

This further proves the authenticity of this black-armored cavalry. The army's habits are developed on weekdays. They can't be pretended just by wearing it now. I don't know if the Great Shanyu arrived first or the reinforcements of the black-armored cavalry arrived first today.

"Send someone to contact the Great Shanyu, and say that the situation here has changed. Please ask the prince or the Great Shanyu to take charge." Amu turned his head and ordered Qi Lie. Now he felt that every joint in his body was hurt. I really don't know if he could survive today.

Amu did not go down to the city, but was nervously guarding the south city. The black-armored knights under the city seemed to be very anxious and kept seeing the knights running back and forth. A ball of flames rose from the ground, and the thick black smoke rose into the air again.

Looking at the floating Yanzhu, Amu felt more and more irritable. Although he was dizzy, he was still walking on the city tower, like a leopard falling into a trap.

"Master Qianqi, I'm not good enough, there are many black-armored cavalry coming from the opposite side." Qi Lie ran into the city tower panting, with a nervous look on his face.

Amu pulled Qi Lie away and ran a few steps to the battlement. Sure enough, another black-armored cavalry of hundreds of people gathered with the original troops. The two groups of people had more than 1,000, and such troops were already greater than himself. He had to defend the four gates and overwhelmed the tens of thousands of people in the city. There was not enough manpower, and the shadow of the Great Shanyu had not seen it.

The new black-armored cavalry quickly formed a formation, and several general-oriented guys rode out on horseback. They held a barrel object in their hands and gestured against the city wall, as if they were studying the strategy of siege.

"Send someone to invite the Great Shanyu again, and say that the situation in Shuozhou is critical. Please come quickly." Amu knew clearly that as long as the Han army began to attack the city, if the people in the city started to make trouble together, it would be a fool to leave Shuo County alive with the inside and outside. The only hope for the Great Shanyu now is, but he has never seen the shadow of the Great Shanyu.

"Master Qianqi, they seem to be sieging the city." Amu was in a daze, and Qi Lie suddenly pointed at the black-armored cavalry in the distance and shouted anxiously.

Amu looked closely and found that the guys who looked like generals had already galloped back. All the black-armored cavalry flew on their horses and started to line up. A siege cart was pushed out of the Han camp. It was obvious that this was what they wanted to siege the city.

"Everyone is on guard, and they will shoot farther away, but they will shoot their armor." Amu felt helpless about the protective power of the Yun family's armor. Under equal conditions, the Huns' bows and arrows could not shoot the black armor at all. They even fought with the black armored cavalry many times, but the Huns did not even get a piece of black armored leaves.

The black-armored cavalry surrounded the siege chariots, and the knights raised their protective shields one after another. Looking from a distance, it was like a black wall pressing towards Shuoxian County. Amu took the bow from Qi Lie's hand, tried the bowstring and pulled out a wolf tooth and put it on the bow.

The Huns men on the city wall were so nervous that they could not breathe. The Huns had never won a single victory in the battle with this black-armored cavalry. Even the Great Shanyu and the elite cavalry in their headquarters did not do it. I wonder if they were going to die here today.
