Chanyu: Profit is Mine!
***
As he swung his sword and imagined the future,
A burly man in armor walked into the main tent and knelt on the ground. He said respectfully, "Great Chanyu, when are we going to attack?"
This person was the front guard general of the prairie barbarians, and his name was Chao Wushu.
"How far are the infantrymen from the cavalry camp?" Huyan Chanyu put away his sword and asked.
“There are less than 30 miles left. 250,000 soldiers will soon join the vanguard.” Chao Wushu was still kneeling on the ground while reporting the situation on the frontline. “Material needed for siege equipment has been prepared. We can make equipment for initial siege no later than two days.”
"Very good!" Huyan Chanyu nodded and said with a smile, “We don't need to worry. After we gather our troops, we can continue to make siege weapons. There should be less than 10,000 soldiers in Yunshu County City. They will definitely not dare to leave the city and disturb our warriors.”
“Ya, Great Chanyu!” Chao Wushu immediately prostrated. “In five days, we should be able to exhaust all the materials and make most of the siege weapons. As long as we rest for another day, we can launch a.” attack
"Alright, then we'll start the siege in six days!" Huyan Chanyu was in a very good mood. He stood up, brandished his sword, and smiled. "No matter what, 300,000 against 10,000, the advantage is mine!"
….
The Yunshu County.
As the Governor of six counties appointed by the State Supervisor, Hui Shi had taken over all military affairs here.
Chen Tong, on the other hand, was preparing for war with him.
The prairie barbaric cavalry cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, according to the latest news from the guards, 50,000 barbarian cavalry only became the vanguard. There were still more than 200,000 soldiers behind.
Who knew where the prairie barbarians had gotten the resources to gather so many soldiers?
Hui Shi believed that he could defeat 10,000 cavalry alone, but it was unknown if he could defeat 50,000 cavalry.
Although he had the Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva Fist of the Heavenly Dragon and he had the power to destroy the Divine Realm experts, his martial cultivation was only at the peak of the Inner World realm. He could not continuously replenish the power of the dragon runes. If he fought for too long, his strength would run out.
If he really had to fight against the army, he would have to rely on the soldiers here.
Above the city walls, a cold wind roared.
Chen Tong looked into the distance and saw a vast expanse. This was a very suitable location to be filled by cavalry.
Although the enemy cavalry could not be used to attack the city, they could be used to protect the 200,000 soldiers behind, giving enough time behind to prepare their siege weapons.
When the barbarians transported the siege equipment, the siege would begin.
Currently, there were only 8,000 soldiers standing in Yunshu County. This was because when King Yan caused trouble earlier, a large number of soldiers had been moved and had not returned.
8,000 soldiers, defend against hundreds of thousands!
The result will be tragic!
Therefore, Chen Tong sent a letter to Cui Heng, asking for the right to recruit soldiers in Yunshu County.
Only by recruiting enough soldiers would they have the chance to defend Yunshu County.
Otherwise, it's all just bullshit.
"Regency Governor, how do you plan to fight this battle?" Chen Tong asked Hui Shi.
"If Mr. Supervisor's answer can arrive before these barbarians attack the city, I will of course listen to the arrangements." Hui Shi's thoughts were simple and extreme. He looked into the distance and said in a low voice, "If the answer does not arrive, I will leave the city and kill my way through the army."
"Indeed, that's the only way." Chen Tong nodded and turned his head to look at the city. He could clearly hear the sound of training soldiers not far away. “Governor Meng has started training the soldiers. Should we go and see him?
"Let's go." Huishi nodded.
The governor of Yunshu County was called Meng Zhang.
He is 57 years old, but his physique is still very strong. He personally trained the soldiers and shouted loudly.
"Boy!" Meng Zhang stood in front of 8,000 soldiers in his armor and shouted, “The barbarians have arrived at the city walls. They want to break through our walls, rob our food, kill our sons, and take our wives and daughters! What should we do!"
"Kill them all!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill those barbarians!"
The 8,000 soldiers were furious and roared with flushed faces.
They were basically the local citizens of Yunshu County. Their parents, family, wife, and children are all here.
If a barbarian were to break through the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.
28 Years ago, Yunshu County was still in the hands of the prairie barbarians. Many of the 8,000 soldiers were born in that era. They often hear their parents talking about that tragic life. There were even some warriors who personally experienced that time.
Everyone knew very well what kind of life they lived under the barbaric rule of the prairie.
No, not life!
It could only be considered a mere existence!
Back then, the people here could not even keep any hope in their hearts for a better life.
Especially the women.
As long as a girl was over ten years old, they would basically become the toys of barbarians.
They just live in hell. This time, they had to defend Yunshu County! Meng Zhang looked at the enraged soldiers and felt extremely grateful.
But there was no joy at all in his heart.
He knew very well that once the battle broke out and the defense of the city began, the 8,000 soldiers in front of him would definitely die in large numbers. It is not known if there will be 2,000 of them left.
“This is our home. There's nowhere to retreat behind us. We have nowhere to hide or escape. We can only fight to the death. Only by guarding this city can we have a chance to survive!”
He was originally a soldier as well.
He knew very well the importance of Yunshu County.
This is the northern gate of Fengzhou. Without Yunshu County, the barbarians from the north could enter at any time and plunder the land.
The entire Fengzhou would become helpless.
28 Years ago, Meng Zhang followed the Northern Garrison General, Chen Pengju, to attack the barbarians in the north and reclaim the Yunshu County that had fallen into the hands of the barbarians. Only then did they fully recover the entire Fengzhou.
Previously, although Fengzhou was considered the Great Jin territory, it had long been the backyard of barbarians in the north. They could enter and exit at will and trample the entire region.
In addition, Yunshu County had farms used to raise horses that could block large armies.
Only with Yunshu County, Fengzhou could be considered the Great Fengzhou Jin. Without Yunshu County, Fengzhou was just a little girl that barbarians could violate at any time.
Yunshu County could not be lost anymore!
Currently, Hui Shi and Chen Tong walked over, but they did not interfere with Meng Zhang's training. Instead, they waited quietly on the side.
After Meng Zhang finished his training round, he came up to the two of them and cupped his hands together. He asked, "My master, how is the situation outside the city?"
At first he was a little dissatisfied with these two officers from Changfeng Prefecture.
However, after getting along with them, he realized that both of them were dedicated to commoners, so he became harmonious with them.
In particular, Meng Zhang realized that Hui Shi's brows were very similar to Chen Pengju's eyebrows.
This made him feel closer to Hui Shi.
Basically there is no conflict.
Hui Shi said in a low voice, “There are often barbarian guards patrolling outside the city. They should have checked the defensive situation of our city. Sometimes, they will shoot arrows at city walls or send letters to cause trouble.”
Chen Tong nodded and said solemnly, “In the past two days, most of the rumors made by them were that the Great Jin Emperor had issued an edict to hand Fengzhou over to their commander, he said, Chanyu.
Although this matter was extremely hard to believe, it had spread throughout the army and commoners. Governor Meng, please pay more attention and do not let soldiers and commoners bewitched.”
Only a fool would give up the land of the state to a nomadic barbarian for no reason.
No one in Yunshu County trusted him.
"The person who spread this news deserves to be killed!" Meng Zhang's expression was extremely grim. Such a psychological attack was not something that the barbarians would do. Could it be that someone was secretly guiding them?
However, in the face of such a manner, he could only curse. It is difficult to take effective action. He quickly calmed down and asked, "Commander Chen, has Master Supervisor's answer arrived?"
"Not yet." Chen-Tong shook his head. "But, according to the timing, Mr. Supervisor's answer should have been on the way by now."
"That's great ..." Meng Zhang nodded at first, then thought for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Commander Chen, there's something I can't help but say.
“Now that the situation in Yunshu County is urgent and we are short of soldiers, we should start recruiting troops as soon as possible. Only then will we have a stronger chance of defending the city and not rely on these 8,000 warriors.
"That's fine. We have no authority to recruit our own troops. As per the procedure, we must obtain permission from the State Supervisor first. But now that the troops are at the city gate, we don't have much time.”
The meaning is very simple. A General must not take orders from the Emperor. They should not care about the process now and should start hiring directly.
"No. If it were any other State Supervisor, you wouldn't go wrong doing this. Chen Tong shook his head and said, “But it is different under Master Supervisor Cui. As long as we can get a reply from him, we will definitely win this battle.”
“Master Supervisor has great divine power. As long as he sends us a piece of paper, we can destroy the barbarians with a snap of our fingers, ”Hui Shi explained.
"..." - ".Meng Zhang was silent when he heard this. He thought of some rumors about the Fengzhou Governor, Cui Heng, and frowned. “There is no Giant River here. There is no way to drown an army with water.”
Like most people, he believed that Cui Heng relied on the superiority of the terrain and the might of the Giant River to defeat an army that was several times larger than his own.
As for the great divine power?
Since ancient times, no one had heard of a Mystical Power strong enough to defeat hundreds of thousands of troops.
Impossible to believe.
“I don't think we will receive a reply from Mr. Supervisor,” Hui Shi said suddenly.
These words instantly shocked Chen Tong.
What does that mean?!
He was about to ask when he saw Hui Shi bowing respectfully to the sky. "Welcome, Mr. Supervisor!" Hui Shi bowed to the sky respectfully.
The dragon rune on his back had sensed a familiar aura. This meant that Cui Heng had come and had no intention of hiding his whereabouts.
Chen Tong hurriedly looked up.
He saw a figure slowly drifting from the horizon.
Therefore, he hurriedly bowed as well and exclaimed, "Welcome, Master Supervisor!"
"T-fly in here ?!" Meng Zhang looked at Cui Heng in shock.
For most people, such a method of ascending clouds was already considered a means of Eternity.
Many citizens and soldiers in the city also saw Cui Heng descending from the sky above the clouds. Their hearts were instantly filled with endless excitement.
When the barbarians were about to attack the city, a God suddenly appeared.
It's like a light that appears on a dark night.
The initially anxious citizens immediately felt much safer.
At this moment, no matter what they did, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cui Heng.
The streaks of red and white light that only Cui Heng could see slowly soared into the sky.
