The next morning, Zhao Ming was woken up by the sound of sirens. He could only hear the sounds of an enemy attack coming from outside!
"Could it be that the Xiongnu army has already arrived?”Zhao Ming was shocked!
"Fortunately, I decisively gave the order to defeat the Xiongnu vanguard and obtained a large amount of traffic. I also replenished 10,000 soldiers. Otherwise, Yanmen Pass would have been in danger!”Zhao Ming sighed in relief.
If he didn't give the order to fight to the death yesterday and instead chose to wait, once the Xiongnu vanguard joined up with the rest of the Xiongnu army, the 5,000 soldiers of Yanmen Pass wouldn't be able to resist the Xiongnu army's attack!
What awaited them would only be endless attacks. Moreover, because of the turmoil of the Yellow Turban, the Great Han Dynasty had no reinforcements to support Yanmen Pass. Without reinforcements, Yanmen Pass would eventually be broken through by the Xiongnu army!
Fortunately, Zhao Ming made the right decision yesterday and obtained a chance to live!
"General, there are a large number of Xiongnu cavalry outside. They have already surrounded Yanmen Pass!”Just as Zhao Ming was deep in thought, the voice of a guard came from outside!
"I will rush over immediately. Tell Zhang Liao and Li Cunxiao to pay attention to the Xiongnu army's movements!”Zhao Ming immediately said!
"Yes, General. Young General and General Li have already arranged for troops to defend!”The guard said.
"Alright, you can leave first!" Zhao Ming said as he put on the trivial clothes. Five minutes later, Zhao Ming walked out of the room with the pitch-black iron spear hanging on the weapon rack in his armor. Then, he rushed to Yanmen Pass with the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun!
Zhao Ming had temporarily assigned the eighteen riders of Yan Yun to guard them.
…………
Outside Yanmen Pass, a dense horde of Xiongnu cavalrymen lined up in front of Yanmen Pass. At a glance, there were at least 30,000 of them. Such a large number of troops made many of the soldiers of Yanmen Pass feel weak!
Although Yanmen Pass had often been attacked by the Xiongnu and other foreign races, this was the first time the Xiongnu had besieged it on such a large scale!
If the 8,000 Xiongnu vanguards from before were included, there would be at least 40,000 Xiongnu cavalry. Many of the soldiers of Yanmen Pass rejoiced at Zhao Ming's decision yesterday!
"Lord (Big Brother)!" Not long after, Zhao Ming arrived with the 18 cavalrymen of Yanyun. Zhang Liao and Li Cunxiao said to Zhao Ming!
"How's the situation now?" Zhao Ming nodded slightly when he heard this. Then, he looked at the Xiongnu army outside Yanmen Pass and his expression changed slightly!
"Currently, the Xiongnu army has yet to launch an attack on Yanmen Pass. However, in my opinion, the Xiongnu army has come from afar. The possibility of them attacking the city during the day is very low.”After all, Li Cunxiao was also a general who had experienced hundreds of battles.
"Of course, we can't let our guard down during the day!”Then, Li Cunxiao added!
"In that case, arrange for 5,000 soldiers to guard the city during the day. The other soldiers will take turns to rest. We must guard against the Xiongnu's sneak attack!”Zhao Ming nodded slightly when he heard this.
"Yes, my lord!" Li Cunxiao and Zhang Liao said in unison!
"This battle can only be won, not lost!”Zhao Ming's cold gaze swept over the Xiongnu army that had already begun to set up camp on the spot.
The time that followed also proved that Li Cunxiao's guess was right. The huge Xiongnu cavalry only surrounded and did not attack. Other than a portion of the soldiers guarding Yanmen Pass, most of the Xiongnu soldiers returned to the camp!
…………
Xiongnu camp, Xiongnu King Zuoxian's commander's tent!
"Your Highness, after yesterday's battle, Yanmen Pass must be empty. Why don't you just send an army and take down Yanmen Pass!”A tall Xiongnu general who looked like a strong bear looked at the Xiongnu Left Virtuous King Yufuluo in confusion.
Yufuluo, the Xiongnu's Left Virtuous King, believed that the Yellow Turban soldiers of the Great Han Dynasty were in internal strife and could not effectively support the border pass. Hence, the Xiongnu's move to the south was made!
However, he had never thought that an anomaly like Zhao Ming would appear in Yanmen Pass, causing the Xiongnu vanguard he had sent to be destroyed and causing the original plan of the Left Sage Prince, Yu Fuluo, to change at the last minute!
PS: Due to the appearance of the main character, not everything in this book is written according to history. Everyone can just treat it as a fictional version of the Three Kingdoms. I hope you understand!
"How do you explain the destruction of the vanguard army led by the late commander?”Another Xiongnu general stood out and said!
Although the Xiongnu soldiers had told them the reason for their defeat, they did not believe that there was such a terrifying existence as the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun. In their eyes, it was just a story made up by the Xiongnu soldiers!
The Left Sage Prince Yu Fuluo did not say anything when he saw this. He only watched the generals below quarrel and fell into deep thought!
