I’m The King Chapter 1030: : East and West (23)

Li Xin stared closely at the floor plan of Jishi City, frowning. There is no doubt that Jishi City is the strangest city he has ever seen. There are many big and famous cities on the mainland, but they are either square or square. The so-called precipitousness refers to the height and thickness of these cities, and a five-pointed star-shaped city like Jishi City makes him find it extremely difficult.

No matter which direction you attack from, you will be attacked from another direction. This is a city with no dead ends for defense. As long as there are enough soldiers and a qualified general in the city, this city is really invincible. Now Li Xin was indeed a little annoyed that Wang Xiao didn't take Shannan County City as scheduled, so he released He Lanxiong's Eastern Field Army from Dai County, leaving the originally empty Jishi City with tens of thousands of excellent guards.

"General, will Yan Haibo come out to rescue He Lanxiong?" But Yu asked beside him.

"I hope so!" Li Xin frowned tightly, "Yan Haibo is only 27 years old this year, young means impulsive, and he replaced He Lanxiong in charge of this army. He has worked with He Lanxiong for more than ten years When he knew He Lanxiong's current predicament, he was very likely to lead his army out of the city to fight me decisively. I would rather have a big battle with my opponent on the grasslands than Go and attack a city like Jishi City, because even if you pay a heavy price for a city like Jishi City, you may not gain much."

"What if he doesn't come out?" Dan Yu said worriedly.

"I hope that's not the case. If he really doesn't come out, we will have to push into Jishi City and make some tentative attacks first. By the way, have all the cavalry been sent out?"

"They were all sent out, but judging from the feedback in the past two days, there is no human habitation within 50 miles around Jishi City, and everyone has withdrawn to Jishi City. The two fortresses of the Han army, one is Baiyang Village and the other is Denggao Village, but these two villages are heavily guarded. Look at the flags of the other side, these two villages have no less than 3,000 regular troops stationed .”

"If Yan Haibo doesn't come out, attack these two villages first." Li Xin picked up the charcoal pen and drew a circle on the location of the two villages.

In Baiyang Village, Gu Li stood in front of He Dayou, looking at her husband stubbornly. She was wearing leather armor, with a bow and arrow on her back, and two arrow pots and a machete hanging from her waist. It is clearly a dress for going out.

"Dayou, I'm going!" She stared at He Dayou and said with certainty. The two of them have been deadlocked for a long time.

"Gu Li, you can still kill the enemy if you stay in Baiyang Village." He Dayou said helplessly.

"That's different. Our village's defense is impenetrable, but Commander Helan is now trapped in the Aya Gula Canyon. You don't know where, but I know. It's a Jedi, and now the entire Jishi County The Huns have received the call-up order, I am a Hun, and I must go to rescue Commander Helan.”

"You are a woman." He Dayou roared, "You have a husband and a son."

"Without Commander Helan, we Huns would not be where we are today." Gu Li said: "Dayou, let me go!"

He Dayou stared at Gu Li for a moment, sighed, turned around and walked into the house. After a while, when he came out, he was holding a helmet, a pair of riding crossbows and more than ten crossbow bolts in his hand.

"Dayou, you..." Gu Li was surprised.

"You only have leather armor, which has limited protection. I have an iron armor, but you can't wear it. This helmet can be worn with a layer of cotton pads inside. After the military parade, the king of Han rewarded me with a crossbow that is much more powerful than the standard cavalry crossbow. You can take it with you, and it might save your life anytime.” He Dayou walked to Guli’s with a wounded leg. Beside her, he put the silk sash of the helmet on her, and hung the crossbow around her waist.

"Come back alive, my son and I will be waiting for you." He Dayou looked at Gu Li's face and said sadly.

"I will definitely come back." Gu Li opened her hands, gave He Dayou a tight hug, kissed him twice on the face, turned around suddenly, and walked out resolutely.

Standing by the door, looking at a group of Huns standing outside the door, they all lived in Baiyang Village, He Dayou looked at a one-armed Huns, and shouted loudly: "Topler, my wife I will leave it to you, and you will bring her back whole."

The one-armed Toppler raised the scimitar in his hand: "Village Chief, don't worry, even if I die, I won't let Gu Li get into trouble. Let's go."

The horses kicked up smoke and dust, and the Huns who lived in Baiyang Village, a total of more than 300 people who could mount their horses and fight, stepped out of the stone bridge of Baiyang Village and galloped towards the vast prairie. He Dayou leaned against the door , I just feel that the eyes are a little moist. Gu Li has been married to him for five years. When he came here and led a group of retired soldiers to establish Baiyang Village, he took in many Hun women and children one after another. Gu Li was one of them. , he doesn't know her past, now it seems that his wife must not be an ordinary Hun woman, maybe she was the daughter of a certain Hun nobleman, because only this kind of family background can receive a good education since childhood And have riding, archery, and sword skills that are not inferior to men.

"Damn it, he's my wife, He Dayou now!" The smoke and dust outside had cleared, and his wife's back had turned into a small black spot, He Dayou dragged one leg and walked towards the ancestral hall of Baiyang Village , that is now the command post for the defense of the entire Baiyang Village. Shang Kexi, who was ordered from Jishi City, is responsible for commanding the defense of the entire Baiyang Village, and He Dayou, as the head of Baiyang Village, was also designated by Wu Kai as Shang Kexi's deputy Assist Shang Kexi in defending Baiyang Village.

"Dayou, you are here, come and take a look at the new gadget I brought this time!" Shang Kexi was playing with a magic machine crossbow in the yard, "Good guy, you can shoot hundreds of crossbow arrows at a time, When did our big man come up with this thing? I never heard of it when I was in Shannan County."

"What's so strange about this!" He Dayou sat down listlessly, "It's been a while since the magic machine crossbow was developed, but because it took a lot of time to make, it hasn't been equipped on a large scale. The young guards have already begun to equip them. I have seen it with Junshou Wu. There is also a vehicle-mounted crossbow in the military industrial research institute of Jishi City. That guy can shoot thousands of arrows at a time, which is even more terrifying, but the cost remains high. It is even more difficult to make, and up to now only a dozen have been produced.”

"Shooting thousands of arrows at a time, did you make a mistake?" Shang Kexi dropped the magic crossbow in his hand and walked up to He Dayou.

"No, I was lucky enough to follow Junshou Wu to see them experiment. When that guy shot out, there were feather arrows in front of him." He Dayou said weakly.

Noticing He Dayou's lack of energy, Shang Kexi couldn't help but feel a little strange. In the past few days in Baiyang Village, the village head who has been lame on one leg has been jumping up and down like chicken blood, and he has never been seen to be tired. Shang Kexi also knew that this lame village chief was different from ordinary people, not to mention that he had met the King of Han many times and was praised by the King of Han. These were his two nephews. The third army of the Young Guards Corps has already become the commander of the cavalry, and it can be said that the whole family is the new favorite of the big Han. As the deputy of General Feng of Shannan County, he has never seen the King of Han. Like the magic machine crossbow and the vehicle crossbow I have never heard of an absolutely secret weapon before, but it is a common thing for him.

"What's the matter with you? Are you tired? If you're tired, rest more. Now Baiyang Village's defenses are basically in place. I'm confident that the people of Qin will not be able to step into Baiyang Village." Shang Kexi said. /

He Dayou nodded: "I know, I'm not tired, it's my wife who left."

"Your wife is gone?" Shang Kexi was taken aback, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he just wanted to say something to comfort him, saying that a woman is like clothes, so she ran away when she ran away, but He Dayou looked at it He glanced, "Don't think wrong, my wife is a Hun."

"So that's how it is!" Shang Kexi suddenly realized, "Is it because of the Helan people's mobilization order?"

"Who said it wasn't? When my wife heard that Commander He Lan was trapped, she was determined to save him." He Dayou shook his head and briefly explained Gu Li's situation.

"Dayou, your wife is not simple. Although Xiongnu women can ride horses to fight, there are not many like your wife." Shang Kexi said strangely.

"Who knows, when I took her in, she was dying of hunger. Later, when I married me, I didn't ask her about her past. I was worried that it would remind her of the past and make her feel uncomfortable. She is the only one left. Don't care about her, anyway, she is my woman now, and she gave birth to two sons for me." He Dayou said.

"That's true. Dayou, you have been in Jishi City. I have something to talk to you in private. As soon as the Helan tribe issued a call-up order, tens of thousands of Huns from Jishi County came. This, you Don't you think it's a bit scary? The influence of the Helan tribe is too great, right?" Shang Kexi said in a low voice.

He Dayou looked up and looked at Shang Kexi, "Are you worried about the Helan tribe? Don't forget, the third princess is from the Helan tribe, and the second prince has the blood of the Huns. Today's ease can be said to be due to the Helan tribe and the king sharing the troubles together. The influence of the Helan tribe among the Huns is even greater than that of the Huns royal court back then, but Don't worry about anything, this time the call-up order can only be issued at the behest of the sheriff. Didn't you notice the countersignature of the county sheriff above? Without the countersignature of the sheriff, the call-up order wouldn't be issued at all. It doesn’t work either. If it wasn’t for this, there wouldn’t be a Hun in my Baiyang Village who would dare to go out. Now it’s not the same year. Except for the old ones, the younger generation is more like Han people than Huns People. I heard the sheriff said, what is this called assimilation, we have to start with the children."

"It turns out that the king had a plan long ago, that's really my overthinking." Shang Kexi nodded: "Dayou, don't worry, the Huns are born on horseback, and the Qin people don't have many cavalry. There is nothing you can do to get them."

"How can we not be worried? Who is Commander He Lan? He has fallen into Li Xin's trap. Although there are many Huns who went out this time, they are fighting on their own. He Lankang and He Lanmin are two old guys. , that has the ability to integrate them together!"

"Perhaps, the county guard is just trying to make the grassland chaotic. Anyway, the sum of our generals here may not be Li Xin's opponent. It is better to fight a bad battle. There is no law to be found. For Li Xin like this It may still be a difficult problem for many people." Shang Kexi said. (To be continued...)
