"Did he get shot to death again?”Yuflor glared at him.
"No, no."
"Then why did you come back?"
The messenger buried his head deeply and did not dare to look into the eyes of the Chief.
" Just as the officer who persuaded us to surrender was about two hundred steps away, the city gate suddenly opened and a hundred elite cavalrymen charged out. Our people didn't even get far before they were turned into meat paste."
Bang!
Yuffro was furious and kicked the table over.
" A hundred elite cavalry?!"
"I sent an unarmed official to persuade them to surrender, but they sent a hundred elite cavalry to kill me!”
"Comparing numbers? Very good, order the three armies to prepare food at 7 am and attack the city at 4 am!”
"The first to ascend will be rewarded with 100 cows and sheep. The person who kills Yang Yu will be rewarded with 500 cows and sheep and 100 catties of iron.”
Uphro was clearly enraged.
Originally, this time down south, he couldn't live happily anymore.
The winter snowstorm had frozen many livestock, cattle, and sheep to death, and the army's rations were particularly tight.
Now, in order to break through the city, he directly promised hundreds of them. It could be said to be a big deal.
Of course, Yuflor was not a good-for-nothing.
Without confidence, they would not dare to attack the city rashly.
The reason for this was naturally because he had already arranged for scouts to scout the situation!
In the end, they found out that the number of soldiers added this time was only 10,000!
Apart from that, according to the scouts, the walls of Gaonu City had been in disrepair for many years. Even if the Hu Qiang were not good at attacking, they could still easily take it down!
This also made Yu Fuluo subconsciously believe that Yang Yu, the famous general of the three auxiliary generals, was just an undeserved reputation!
Thinking of this, Yu Fu Luo revealed a disdainful expression!
"Han people are still so hypocritical!"
......
He turned to Gaonu City.
The sun was high up in the sky. Seeing that many enemy troops had abandoned their horses and lined up, carrying crudely made ladders, Yang Yu's eyes were filled with joy.
He had really fallen into a trap.
Yang Yu did not command the city defense but faced Xue Rengui.
"Rengui, the three thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry have taken off their heavy armor and left the city secretly two days ago. There is only one thing you need to do next. No matter what method you use, you must defend Gao Nu for fifteen days.”
Xue Rengui was slightly surprised. He understood that the lord would not stay in Gao Nu.
Combined with the fact that the three thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry had secretly left the city and that Luo Cheng had not been seen, Xue Rengui had a rough guess.
"This humble servant will definitely not be satisfied with my lord's high hopes.”
Yang Yu patted his shoulder and walked down the city stairs. He left Gao Nu at the south gate and headed east.
Let's talk about the allied forces of Hu and Qiang.
They were indeed good at fighting on horseback, but this did not mean that they were much weaker on foot.
Their physique and strength were on average stronger than Han people.
In order to confuse Yuflo and make him feel that he had an opportunity, he did not repair the city wall and then angered him to kill two envoys. He must be in a fit of anger.
Therefore, combining the above points.
If the Huqiang alliance army were to climb up the city walls and engage in a hand-to-hand battle, it would not be easy to defend.
Two hundred steps.
The vanguard raised their shields and escorted the scaling ladders.
150 steps.
The prison on the city wall was like a swarm of locusts. Most of the arrows struck the wooden shields, but this wave of arrows still caused hundreds of casualties.
After a hundred steps, the attacking troops began to speed up.
When they reached the bottom of the city, the ladder was hooked to the parapet. The Hu Qiang warriors bit their blades and climbed up.
His movements were also considered smooth and natural, and he wasn't a complete layman. It could be seen that in the past hundred years, the Hu and Qiang tribes of the Hetao had been deeply influenced by the Han Dynasty.
Rolling stones struck down together with wood!
Even the strongest Hu Qiang couldn't withstand a giant that weighed hundreds of pounds.
He was smashed into meat paste, and even if he was scratched a little, he would still be seriously injured.
Miserable cries could be heard from below the city, and there were many casualties.
Xue Rengui stood with his hands behind his back. He did not care about the attacking troops at all. His eyes were fixed on the Huqiang Golden Tent several miles away.
With the people in his hands, it wouldn't be too difficult to protect Gao Nu City.
But Xue Rengui was not willing to fight to the death.
Try to reduce the casualties and preserve the capital in the lord's hands.
"Men."
"General, what orders do you have?"
"Immediately collect the doors and millstones of every household in the city and gather them in the drill ground north of the city.”
"Understood!"
.....
To the east of Gaonu.
Three thousand heavy snow dragon cavalry light equipment simple travel.
He didn't wear heavy armor, nor did he wear any armor on his horse. He only had spears, sabers, bows, crossbows, and a quiver of arrows, as well as a day's rations.
They were originally the elites among the elites. Now that they had no burden, even if it was a small path in the mountains, they still moved very quickly.
"My lord, this is a map of the northern part of the Hetao. The exact locations of the Huqiang tribes with more than 500 people are marked.”
Amidst the galloping horse, Luo Cheng took out a piece of brocade from his bosom. On it, there was a precise drawing, no matter how big or small.
Yang Yu was very satisfied with this.
The mission that he had secretly given Luo Cheng was to lead the 18 riders of Yanyun to move ahead of time and find out the situation behind the Huqiang.
If they successfully defended against the Hu Qiang, the mission would be completed and they would be able to gain a good reputation in the world.
However, Yang Yu was not satisfied.
He had taken the initiative to ask for compensation from the imperial court.
Logically speaking, the Hu and Qiang tribes of the Hetao would be a huge rock that would crush the dynasty of the Central Plains in a few decades. They had to be clear about such a huge threat.
Thus, Yang Yu decided to first expose Yu Fuluo's weakness, then try his best to anger him and firmly hold him in Gaonu City.
As for himself, he would lead the three thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry to attack the rear of the Huqiang.
Without livestock, women, children, and pastures, they were like duckweed without roots.
After Yuflor received the news, he would definitely return to help. At that time, he would be able to get rid of them once and for all!
"My lord, it's time to leave the mountain." Luo Cheng reminded softly.
In the misty twilight, the Hetao grassland in front of him appeared extremely vast.
The grass was green, the sky was blue, and even the air had a faint smell of grass.
In the distance was a green lake, clear and quiet, sparkling in the afterglow of the setting sun, shining with golden light. Countless cattle and sheep were leisurely strolling on the grass beside the lake.
Thunderous drum beats came from afar. Ten thousand Hu Qiang steeds galloped like flying clouds, cawing towards the sky.
The black and white mane fluttered in the setting sun. On the distant lake, countless white tents were like a sea of white flowers blooming on a green grassland, bright and dazzling.
Yang Yu raised his arm, and the three thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry behind him obeyed.
If they all left the mountain now, they might be noticed by the enemy.
"Soldiers, perhaps you don't understand.”
"Living in the fertile land that the Great Han Dynasty bestowed upon us, the Hu Qiang do not know how to be grateful. They take advantage of the Great Han Dynasty's fatigue to kill, plunder, and commit all kinds of evil.”
"Countless brothers and sisters have been trampled by them and died tragically under the butcher's knives of their cavalry.”
The three thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry did not make a sound, but their hands that were holding onto their sabers gradually tightened, and the flames in their eyes began to burn.
His hatred for the northern nomads had long been engraved in his soul.
Even though he didn't have the memories of his previous life, his words were like a spark falling on dry wood.
"Right now, their main force is heading south. Their evil deeds are innumerable.”
"And I brought you here to tell me what to do next.”
Swoosh--
The saber was unsheathed, and the sharp blade was as cold as snow.
