Chapter 69 Beacon fires everywhere(1/2)

Chapter 69: The fire of war everywhere

On the Great Wall, the military minister Shanyu stationed on the horse. Looking at the Hun army that crossed the Great Wall like a tide, he couldn't help but feel proud. The horse whip in his hand slashed it, making a crisp sound: "Haha! This is the Great Wall of the Han people! The Han people are not brave, but the Great Wall is really strong."

So far, although Zhou Yang has taught him a lesson several times and the arrogance he has accumulated over the decades has not faded, he still looks down on the Han people.

"The Great Shanyu, the Great Wall of the Han people is the Han people's sheep pen." The Central Bank said that it was stationed beside Maqi and was busy pleasing.

"The Han people's sheep pen?" Junchen Shanyu savored it carefully, and the horse whip in his hand gently hit Zhongxing, laughing: "Well, it's true! The herders of the Great Huns raised sheep, and were locked up in the circle. The Han people built a Great Wall and locked themselves in the circle, but they never dared to cross the Great Wall..."

Speaking of this, when he remembered Zhou Yang's several times, his face twitched and he could no longer say anything. He looked up and saw An Tao City with a thick wall in the city. He remembered the fact that Zhou Yang was so angry that he vomited blood in this city. His pride suddenly turned into nothing, his face turned ashen, and he whipped Zhongxing Shuo with a heavy horse, then he slapped the horse and left.

"Da Shanyu, you are... thanking Da Shanyu for the beating!" Zhongxing said in a look of surprise, not understanding why Junchen Shanyu's mood changed so much. After being stunned, he immediately flattered.

Unfortunately, Junchen Shanyu had already gone far away, and the Bank of China said that he could only keep up with him.

Junchen Shanyu was fully committed to it. After careful planning this year, he would definitely be able to capture Yanmen City, attack the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, and even to Chang'an, sitting on the imperial throne of Weiyang Palace. However, the development of things was far beyond his expectations. The Huns were defeated again and again.

Not to mention defeat in the battle, the more you lose, the bigger the losses, the heavier the losses.

This all started from Antao City. I was so angry that I rushed to Antao City. I saw that the city gate was open. He didn't have to think about it and knew that Antao City was an empty city at this time and there was no one.

The horse whip in his hand was slashed hard, and Junchen Shanyu shouted: "Come on! Demolition of Antao City for me!"

Yi Zhixie arrived just in time. After hearing this, he reminded: "The Great Shanyu and the Great Huns lacked siege equipment. How should they be demolished? The tall and thick walls of Antao City are not easy to demolish."

The Han Dynasty's city was extremely strong and could not be demolished by the Huns' scimitar. Junchen Shanyu was stunned and said dejectedly: "Burn all the houses in the city."

"The Great Shanyu, the Han people have set fire to the fire." Yi Zhixie reminded him again.

To be honest, Yi Zhixie was defeated at this city. His mood was quite complicated, no worse than Junchen Shanyu. However, he did not give Zhou Yang energy several times like Junchen Shanyu. Although it was not good to feel good, he could maintain a little rationality.

Wherever the Huns passed, they must be ruined, and the houses in Antao City would definitely be burned. Instead of making the Huns happy, it would be better for the Han army to do it themselves and not even leave any chance for the Huns.

"Walk!"

Junchen Shanyu didn't even have a chance to vent his whip. He slapped the horse whip a few times, slapped the horse back with hatred and galloped away.

Once they passed the Great Wall, they arrived at the Han territory. The morale of the Huns was high and their military morale was greatly boosted. With their experience, as long as they reached the territory of the Han people, it would be their paradise. They could do whatever they wanted, burn, kill, loot, and let their will. The Han people were timid and could not compete with them. They would definitely return with a full load this time.

There was no need for military orders from the military ministers and Shanyu, so many Huns went to the Han villages and prepared to plunder them. However, to their disappointment, there was only a house but no one was seen.

When the Huns arrived, the Han people fled all the villages and villages. They had encountered many such things, and the Huns didn't care about it. When people left, the things were always there. It would be a waste to get rid of the Han people's food, silk, porcelain, and tea.

The Huns were once again disappointed. The Han people didn't even leave a grain of food for them, let alone silk and porcelain. They were busy for a long time and found nothing.

The Han Dynasty was too uncooperative. In the past, they came, and they had to get as much of these things as they had, but today they had nothing to do. Not to mention how unhappy the Huns were. They did not do it, but they kept setting fires and turning the village into ashes.

For a moment, the border was full of burning villages and flames soared into the air.

Zhou Yang had already expected this result. To avoid this result, he could only fight the Huns head-on and block the Huns north of the Great Wall. However, the Han army did not have such strength and would suffer great losses, and Zhou Yang would definitely not do so.

As long as people are there and the village is burned, it can be rebuilt. If the army loses it, the consequences will be unimaginable, and this is impossible.

The price is certainly heartbreaking, but some of it has to be paid. As long as it can make the Huns suffer to the end, it is worth it.

Junchen Shanyu looked at the burning village and felt that his heart was very happy. Zhou Yang's fire burning herders' anger exaggerated a lot. However, he forgot one thing, and Zhou Yang's torch of hundreds of thousands of herders and millions of cattle and sheep were burned to death. How rich was the harvest. The fire at present is meaningless except for venting, and it is just futile.

“How many were captured?”

Junchen Shanyu asked in anticipation.

"The village was empty, and there was no food, silk, tea, or porcelain found." The King of Youxian cursed in dissatisfaction: "The Han people are timid and run faster than rabbits!"

"Get nothing?" This was something that had been rarely encountered in decades. Junchen Shanyu couldn't help but be shocked, and a trace of ominous signs arose in his heart.

Junchen Shanyu originally planned to go south to fight with the Han Dynasty for a period of time, and even if he fought to the next spring, he would not be afraid. He brought so many herdsmen and cattle and sheep to the south. However, he did not expect that Zhou Yang's fire made his supplies a big problem.

In the past, the Huns only fought and did not have to worry about supplies at all. With this fire, they had to worry. They were not afraid of being worried. According to his vision, as long as they reached the Han territory, they could obtain supplies through the hijacking.

Having nothing is what he fears the most, and he couldn't help but be shocked. To endure the shock, the Junchen Shanyu pretended to be nothing: "Where can the Han people go? They must have gone to Yanmen. When we broke through Yanmen, all the food, silk, tea, and porcelain of the Han people were ours. I sent the order, speed up the march, and headed straight to Yanmen!"

There were no Han people in the village, so they must have hid in the city. After breaking through Yanmen, the harvest must be very rich. Once the order was passed, the Xiongnu were in high morale and rushed towards Yanmen like a storm.

At this moment, if you look out from the air, you will see the Huns riding war horses, waving scimitars, and howling the "Kunlun God" and rushing towards Yanmen City like a tide.

Junchen Shanyu rode on the horse and said proudly: "Although Feng Jing, the prefect of Yanmen, has some talent, this Shanyu has fifty troops in his hands, and one sword can cut him into pieces. He passed me the order and once he arrived at Yanmen, he would attack the city immediately!"

According to the military tactic, the Huns should have a rest when they arrive at Yanmen, relieve their fatigue, and then attack the city. However, the military minister Shanyu did not know that the Yanmen guard had been replaced by Li Guang, so he did not take Feng Jing seriously at all, and wanted to take down Yanmen in one go.

Junchen Shanyu was defeated by Yanmen last time, which made him very wronged. If it weren't for a heavy rain that restricted the performance of the cavalry, how could he be defeated? This time he came to avenge his shame. The sooner he took Yanmen, the better.

“Utra!”

Junchen Shanyu roared and galloped.

The flag bearer was holding the Shanyu flag and a golden wolf flag followed closely.

The golden wolf flag roared in the wind, rolling like a painting, and it was so majestic.

“Utra!”

Wherever Junchen Shanyu's golden wolf flag goes, there must be a shocking roar. Junchen Shanyu's eyes are in his eyes and joy is in his heart. The shame of defeat in Yanmen will definitely be defeated!

Yanmen, the prefect's mansion.

The prefect's mansion still retains Li Guang's true nature and is set up in an ordinary courtyard.

In the main room, there was nothing but the table table. Li Guang knelt on the short table, with a hard bow and strong arrow on his back, and a Han sword hanging on his waist, closing his eyes to rest. There was a bowl of clear water on the short table in front of him.

Li Danghu stood aside, and wanted to speak but stopped. After several times, he finally couldn't help it and asked, "Father, I have something unknown to me. Why didn't I send a sentry cavalry to detect the movements of the Huns?"

Li Guang opened his eyes, turned his bright eyes and smiled, "The Grand Marshal has arranged everything. There are no people outside the city and no grain. Do I need to send someone to detectives again? Why don't they save some energy?"

Li Danghu was still a little worried: "Father, if you don't send someone to detectives, you won't know where the Huns arrived. This is your first time in so many years."

"That's because the Huns didn't come in the past, so I had to figure out where they were. This time, 500,000 Huns rushed over, and there would definitely be a lot of people coming from Yanmen, so they could know without a detective." Li Guang laughed and pointed to the clear water on the short desk and said: "Through this bowl of water, I can know whether the Huns have come."

"Father, why are you putting a bowl of water on your desk?" Li Danghu was a little puzzled.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops gallop, what a momentum it is. There can be movements and stillnesses dozens of miles away. When the Huns arrive, the water will ripples." Li Guang pointed to Qingshui and explained, and his eyes were filled with light: "Come on! Let's go and fight the Huns!"

He stood up suddenly, strode out, majestic.

Li Danghu looked into the bowl. As Li Guang said, there were ripples on the water. He secretly praised him and quickly followed Li Guang.

The father and son came to the top of the city. Li Guang looked north and saw a huge dark cloud floating rapidly towards Yanmen City. Look at this formation, there were many people coming from the Huns.

It was impossible for the Junchen Shanyu to suppress all the 500,000 troops to Yanmen City. He would definitely send his most elite army and the most brave general to Yanmen. Who said that Yanmen's status is so important?

"So many! I'm afraid there are more than 100,000!" Li Danghu was a little surprised.

"It's not much less than 200,000." Li Guang changed his mind and could tell the number of the Huns: "The more you come, the better! I, Li Guang, fought with the Huns for so many years, and have not fought with so many Huns. This time, I will definitely be able to live up to my full time."

Retracting his gaze, the tiger's eyes swept over the city, and saw the Han army's helmet and armor, with a blazing light in its eyes, and his hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, with a high fighting spirit.

The successive victory had long made the Han army highly motivated. Li Guangda was satisfied that they could have such a strong fighting spirit.

"Huns, wait and see!"

Li Guang looked north again. At this time, the dark cloud was closer to Yanmen City, and the sound of hooves could be heard.

Time passed while waiting, and the sound of hooves became louder and louder. Later, the ground was trembling, as if thousands of gauges were slamming on the ground at the same time.

A black water line appeared in the field of view and rushed towards Yanmen City.

After a while, thousands of wolf flags appeared, waving in the wind, rolling like a painting.

There is a flag that is the most eye-catching, embroidered with a huge gold wolf, roaring up at the head, and is extremely powerful. It is the king's flag of the Junchen Shanyu.

"The Shanyu is here!"

Li Guangda was excited, and his eyes were shining in his tiger's eyes: "Last time I made you lucky, I escaped, this time, you came to your door again!"

In the last pursuit, if Li Guang hadn't had enough strength in his war horse and could not catch up, Junchen Shanyu would have become his prisoner. When Li Guang thought of this, he felt extremely regretful.

Li Guang had a very good eye. From a distance, he saw countless Xiongnu's eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, like wild animals. He knew the temperament of the Xiongnu. Whenever the Xiongnu had such an expression, it was the beginning of the massacre. It seemed that the military minister Shanyu regarded Yanmen as an object in his palm and thought it was acceptable.

"ridiculous!"

Li Guang burst his mouth with disdain: "When will I, Li Guang, be vulnerable?"

“Utra!”

Just as Li Guang changed his mind, he heard a shocking roar. The Huns carried the ladder and rushed down Yanmen City like a splattering wind. They wanted to attack the city immediately without resting. Li Guangda was surprised.

Such a large-scale military use is not a plunder, but rest is necessary. The faster the plunder, the better. It has nothing to do with rest or not. This is a tough battle. Can you have combat power without rest?

After thinking about it, Li Guang immediately realized that the military minister Shanyu was eager to avenge his shame, so he ignored his fatigue and asked the Huns to attack the city. This was also a headache, so he could tell him that I, Li Guang, was so powerful that I.

"Get into the city! Kill all the Han people! No one left! Burn the Han people's houses! Kill the Han people's property! Force the Han people's wives and concubines to cry!"

Under the banner of the King of Ma, Junchen Shanyu waved the scimitar in his brother's hand, loudly encouraged morale, and roared loudly.

The Huns understood the Han Dynasty and knew that a city had a wealth of mountains, far exceeding their imagination. If Yanmen was broken, the benefits would be unimaginable. Even if the military ministers and Shanyu did not encourage the morale of the army, the soldiers would have a hundred times more confidence.

The Hun soldiers were like crazy wolves, waving their scimitars and roaring "Utra", and swept towards Yanmen City like a whirlwind.

The Bank of China said that he stood beside Junchen Shanyu and looked at the movements in the city.

The Huns had already entered the range of crossbows, but there was no movement in the city and no crossbows were fired, which was different from the previous style of fighting. After a look, there was a big "Li" character on the handsome flag on the top of the city. The Zhonghang said his heart and reminded him: "The big Shanyu, something is wrong in the city. Look, the handsome flag is the character Li."

"Li?" Junchen Shanyu was only concerned about boosting morale and did not pay attention to these things. After hearing this, he raised his thick eyebrows: "Do you think it is the flying general? The flying general is in the clouds, and without the will of the Han Emperor, he cannot come to Yanmen. It must be Feng Jing's bluffing. Didn't King Zuo Guli scare the flying general's name all night?"

Under normal circumstances, without the will of Emperor Jing, Li Guang could not come to guard Yanmen. However, as the commander of the Han army at the border, Zhou Yang had the right to mobilize Li Guang to guard Yanmen. The military ministers and Shanyu were so angry that they were extremely angry about Zhou Yang, but they didn't know much about it. He could not have thought that Zhou Yang would change generals in the battle and send Li Guang to guard Yanmen.
