Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 195
Chapter 195 Siege Of Attila
The county government treasury in Ping Cheng was opened, and the food that had just been stored inside was also removed. Seeing the carts of food being carried out of the city, Attila couldn’t help but laugh loudly on his horse.
Previously, he had been defeated by Lu Bu a few times, and his heart was really depressed. Now that he finally had a chance to vent it properly, he felt very happy.
“General, the food has been moved out of the city, but I wonder what the county magistrate and the people from the county government will do with it.” A Xiongnu general rode in front of Attila and asked.
“Kill, kill them all. I just want to tell those people who work hard for the damn Great General, give them a good reminder of what will happen next.” Attila laughed wildly and ordered that more than 130 people in Pingcheng County, including the county magistrate, be killed.
Lyu3 bu4 and dian wei strength is not enough, under the shortage of troops, Attila with ten thousand xiongnu cavalry divided into several began to rampage in yanmen county, they are burned and looted, all evil. Once the county was attacked, it was not only food and property will be looted, even there are no officials can survive, this also made them face the huns began to unusually resist.
However, in the end, the difference in strength was still too big. How could a local government official who was inferior to Heishan Army be a match for the valiant Xiongnu cavalry? This made it impossible for them to resist, but they had never been able to achieve anything.
Because in the past, Yanmen Prefecture had always been Zhang Quan’s decision. He only cared about his own greed for money, not to mention the lives of the people, not to mention taking out money to build any city walls. This directly led to the huns cavalry being able to come and go freely without any effective resistance.
For four consecutive days, Attila led the army of the Huns to snatch food from six counties, causing the entire Yanmen Prefecture to be affected. Not only did they kill, the smoke from the fire they set off allowed them to be seen from afar.
Dian Wei and Lu Bu in Yin Guan City wanted to rush out with their troops several times, but they were stopped by Hou Cheng. Now go out, not only will not help, but also may lose the Yanmen County’s only strong city yin house, if that is the case, everyone died in battle is a small matter, make the Yanmen belong to the huns, hinder the master’s cause is the big deal.
Outside Yin Guan City, Ada with thirty thousand xiongnu cavalry are waiting covetously, afraid of lyu3 bu4 they don’t go out. He knew that these cavalry were extraordinary and had a large number of people. Although there were two powerful generals in the city, they were helpless.
Standing beneath the walls of Yin Guan City and looking at the barracks next to one person in front of the south gate, Lyu bu and Dian Wei suddenly felt like they were useless.
In the past, they often thought that powerful personal strength could defeat everything. They thought that only with weapons in their hands and war horses under their legs could they be invincible under the heavens. But now facing the huns sixty thousand cavalry surrounded the south, they just know that the collective strength is the strongest. When individuals are strong, facing a collective, they will also be powerless and poor.
“Sigh, I just hope that master receives our news, can quickly send troops to rush over.” Standing on the city wall, Dian Wei spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Even though his position as Yanmen Prefecture Governor was not worthy of his name and could even be described as a failure, Dian Wei still hoped that Zhang Chao could appear here. He also began to yearn in the heart to follow the master of those days, at that time he just charge is, like this to do a county master, need to use his brain, the way of work is beyond his reach.
Lyu bu also looked south, he knew that if Lord appeared, he would definitely be there. Originally, he thought that with his bravery, the vanguard army should be invincible under the heavens. However, after this battle, he realized that the scale of victory and defeat in the war was not only determined by the lives of warriors, but also by the comparison of forces, the competition of economic strength, and various unexpected external factors.
Lu Bu suddenly yearned for a high-ranking strategist to help him. It’s like when he was in hedong, marotta followed by his side, many things he doesn’t need to worry about, someone to do for him, at that time he just fight is, how happy to do things.
The two fierce general different ideas, but there is one thing is the same, that is, are looking forward to master zhang chao’s arrival.
At this time, Zhang Chao was actually not far from Yin Guan City, and he had already exchanged hands with the Xiongnu cavalry first. The five hundred Xiongnu cavalry he encountered on the march had become an appetizer after he entered Yanmen Prefecture.
The cavalry have just plundered a village. Hundreds of people in the village did not survive, and all the valuable things were shipped onto the oxcart.
Xian Jie finished the village of the huns cavalry prepared to escort east and west to Yin Guan city, there are general Ada with thirty thousand people guarding, as long as the things to transport, is a credit. However, their luck was really bad, what they did was actually seen by the Heavenly Eye members, and quickly reported to the cavalry army led by Zhang Chao who was less than ten miles away from here.
The report of the Heavenly Eye member caused a flame of anger to appear in Zhang Chao’s eyes.
Yanmen Prefecture was one of his subordinates, so the people here were his people, but now they were actually killed in vain by outsiders. If they didn’t take revenge for this, how could they still be called Bing Prefecture’s Shepherd?
“Where is Huang Zhong? I’ll give you a thousand cavalry and charge forward to kill these Xiongnu people.” Zhang Chao was angry, immediately called general huang zhong.
With a military order, Huang Zhong ordered a thousand cavalry and left the army to advance. Poor five hundred xiongnu army, completely unprepared, saw double their han army cavalry appeared, then huang zhong is the first, killed each other’s young general, make the five hundred xiongnu cavalry on the spot was killed more than three hundred people, captured two hundred people.
By the time Zhang Chao arrived, the war was over. Huang Zhong also rushed over with two hundred captives and knelt down. “Lord, Zhong Ji has taken down the Xiongnu cavalry and captured five hundred horses. Nearly two hundred soldiers, no one escaped. From the captives’ mouths, he knew that their leader, General Adala, was likely to rest at the Wang Clan Manor twenty miles ahead.”
Huang Zhong’s report was very detailed, making Zhang Chao very satisfied. “Alright, we know the whereabouts of the enemy general. Is Han Sheng confident in taking him down?”
Huang Zhong received too much kindness from Zhang Chao, and now was the time to repay him. Of course, he agreed in one go, “You only need to give two thousand cavalry to complete the mission.”
“Alright, that’s right. I’ll take two thousand cavalry with you. At the same time, I’ll bring the Zhangjiajun cavalry to sweep the formation for you. Just let go of it.” Zhang Chao immediately agreed, and at the same time expressed his determination to annihilate Adala.
After getting Zhang Chao’s support, Huang Zhong excitedly ordered his troops.
Wang Jiazhuang.
The people who had just lived a good life because Zhang Chao had become Bing Zhou Mu and Dian Wei had become Yan Gate Princess did fall back into a darker period because of Attila’s arrival.
In the past, although the huns would also patronize, also do looting, but rarely kill. Even if someone resisted, they would only kill those who resisted. However, this time, they were truly abnormal. They had killed all the young people in the village, leaving behind only the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children.
This year, Zhang Chao pitied the people of Yan Sect. He only collected a small amount of taxes from them. In addition to the care of the heavens, the people of the entire Wang Clan Village had a bumper harvest and were filled with grain. It is foreseeable that we will be able to live a wealthy life in the coming year.
The sudden appearance of the xiongnu cavalry was obviously to steal their fruits. Some of the young people in the village did not want the fruits of their hard work taken away, so they began to resist. However, facing the ferocious cavalry of the Huns, Their resistance was clearly negligible. More than 20 young men had only injured two Xiongnu people under their combined forces, but it did provoke Attila’s anger. Not only did he kill more than 20 people who dared to resist, he also killed nearly 60 young men who did not resist.
Attila’s cruel methods had indeed intimidated the people of the Wang Clan Manor, but at the same time, they had also planted the seeds of vengeance in their hearts.
Attila did not care that much, instead, she let the old men in the village cook for them. As for the women, they naturally wanted to play with them.
In front of the powerful force, no one dared to resist. The woman went to the huns barracks with tears in her eyes, while the old men hid their anger in their hearts and went to cook for them.
But cooking was cooking, and they did so with vengeance in their hearts.
When they saw their sons being killed and their daughters being bullied, the old men felt that their anger was uncontrollable and decided to take revenge. Thus, even though they knew that they might die if they tampered with the food, there were still some people who did so.
Only hate most of the people’s home is not prepared with poison, they can only struggle to find a kind of example in croton such as leakage medicine, although eat not dead, but also can make the huns uncomfortable things. In the eyes of these old men, life is hopeless, it is better to do what they can to create difficulties for the huns, at least can also hinder their footsteps to destroy other villages, maiming other compatriots.
Never thought that the old man would have such courage of the huns cavalry, after seeing the food is ready, is to eat…
Huang Zhong brought two thousand one legion cavalry close to the wangjiazhuang, in the distance of five miles, was discovered by the huns scouts.
There was nothing he could do about it. A chose to stay in Wang Jia Village in advance because he loved this place, and his vision was far away. In such an environment, once they encountered enemies, they would be unable to defeat them and run away.
