Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 82
When King Zuoli ordered the Huns to attack Jinpucheng, the three hundred Han troops led by Xiao Chuan and Zhang Junhou were already thirty miles away from the Xiongnu army.

As soon as the scout finished telling the information, Zhang Junhou was about to lead three hundred Han troops to rescue Jin Pucheng, but was stopped by Xiao Chuan.

Zhang Junhou said anxiously: "Hero, [-] Xiongnu are now attacking Jinpu City. If we don't go to rescue them, Captain Geng and the others will be in danger?"

Xiao Chuan calmly said, "Zhang Junhou, do you think you can defeat [-] Xiongnu cavalry with only [-] Han troops?"

Zhang Junhou said helplessly: "I can't, but I can't just watch Lieutenant Geng and hundreds of brothers die. I want to fight to the death together."

Xiao Chuan said: "You rush to die in vain, but you can't save Lieutenant Geng, but let him lose his reinforcements and die."

Zhang Junhou said: "Hero, what should we do?"

Xiao Chuan spat out a word and said, "Wait."

Zhang Junhou asked doubtfully, "Wait? What are you waiting for?"

Xiao Chuan said: "When it rains, Geng Gong is not a mediocre person. He will definitely defend Jinpucheng and will go out of the city to sneak attack on the Huns camp on rainy nights. We will attack from inside and outside and defeat the Huns in one fell swoop."

Zhang Junhou said: "Hero, in the Western Regions, it doesn't rain once in several years. How long do we have to wait for the rain?"

Xiao Chuan patted Zhang Junhou on the shoulder, showed an unpredictable smile, and said: "It will rain in three to five days."

Zhang Junhou suddenly realized, he slapped himself on the forehead, and said: "Hey, the hero is a fairy, he naturally knows astronomy and geography, why do I still doubt the hero?"

Zhang Junhou was no longer anxious, and ordered the Han army to hide in a valley [-] miles away from the Huns' camp, waiting for the rain.

The reason why Xiao Chuan is so sure is that he has seen this period of history.

For several days, King Zuoli ordered the Xiongnu soldiers to attack Jinpu City in turn.

The city of Jinpu was tall and wide, and it was very difficult for the four hundred Han troops to guard it. Fortunately, Geng Gong was strict with the army in normal times, and the Han army had strict military discipline. Go up to the top of the city to help the Han army defend the city.

The Xiongnu left hundreds of corpses under Jinpu City every day, but they couldn't move forward.

And many Huns panicked, because as long as they were shot by the bows and arrows of the Han army, even if their bodies did not catch fire, within a few days after returning to the camp, the wounds would fester and pus, and they would die soon.

Geng Gong's phrase "Our Han Dynasty's arrows are divine arrows, and strange things will happen to those who are hit by arrows." Gradually spread in the camp of the Huns, some tribal chiefs and King Che Shi also heard the news and had the intention to retreat .

King Zuoli was furious and killed dozens of grumbling Hun soldiers, which temporarily quelled the rumors. However, when he attacked Jinpu City again, the Hun soldiers learned their lesson and shouted from afar. City got a break.

On this day, a strong wind suddenly blew up. The strong wind blew up gravel and yellow sand, but no one was seen on the other side.

Xiao Chuan, who was hiding in the tent to avoid the wind, said: "Marquis Zhang, when the wind dies down, we will quietly approach the Huns camp and prepare for a sneak attack."

The anxious Zhang Junhou who had been waiting these days was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "Hero, you said it will rain when the wind stops?"

Xiao Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, it will rain heavily."

Sure enough, as soon as it was dark, the heavy rain began to pour down. It didn’t matter that Jinpu City was built on the hillside, but the Xiongnu camp was low-lying and was in the wind. Many tents were blown, overturned, and blown away by the strong wind. After setting up, the heavy rain came, and the tents, food, grass and baggage, armor and leather clothing, stables, and cattle and sheep pens were all soaked in the rain.

The bodies of the wounded soldiers lying on the ground were soaked in the rain, and the wounds from the arrows festered even more, and their lives passed away quickly.

There was chaos in the camp of the Huns, and Zuo Dawang worriedly said: "King Zuoli, there has been no rain in the Western Regions for several years, and today it suddenly rained heavily. .”

Some other tribal chiefs, the king of Cheshi Kingdom and others were also trembling and echoed.

King Zuoli was unable to attack the city for several days, and his subordinates suffered serious casualties. He was very anxious and felt that something was really wrong. Now that he heard the words of several people in Zuo Dang household, he felt a little upset in his heart, so he said: "Okay, order everyone. The camp sets up the incense table, and the wizard prays to the Immortal Heaven."

A strange scene appeared, the lights went dark, the Huns didn’t sleep, incense tables were set up in the big tents of the chiefs and generals of the Huns, their faces were smeared like ghosts, and the wizards in strange costumes were chanting and jumping around. .

The soaked Huns soldiers hid in the tents that were barely set up, standing in the water that reached their feet and shivering.

In the violent storm, the sound of killing suddenly came from the direction of Jinpu City.

Sitting on the table, watching the sorcerer be surprised by King Zuoli, the great dancer, and almost fell off the table. A soldier next to him hurriedly reached out to support his body, and King Zuoli jumped off the table safely. Stepping on the stagnant water, he shouted, "Go and see what happened?"

Before the soldiers could run out of the tent, a general rushed in and said: "King Zuoli, the Han army in Jinpucheng came out of the city to steal the camp. Now they have rushed into the camp gate and are almost at the Chinese army's tent. .”

King Zuoli said angrily: "Geng Gong only has a few hundred men. We Huns have 2 people, so we let him easily enter the camp? Why didn't we resist?"

The general said: "King Zuoli, now there is a strong wind outside, lightning and thunder, heavy rain, and smog. You can't see people or hear shouts clearly from five feet away. Our general can't find soldiers, and soldiers can't find them." When it comes to the general, there is chaos in the camp, I will go to the front to resist, and King Zuoli will go to the rear to organize the army."

King Zuoli knew that his confidant general was letting him escape to avoid being caught by Geng Gong, so he said gratefully: "Okay, I will go and reorganize the troops. I will reward you heavily afterwards."

The general was overjoyed and said: "The last general will swear to the death to resist the Han army."

Geng Gong clamped the bare horse's back tightly with his legs, brandished the ring sword with his right hand, and held the arm crossbow with his left hand. He charged and shouted: "The great Han soldiers are here, and those who stand in the way die!"

Some of the [-] Han cavalry behind them were holding spears and halberds, some were wielding knives, and some were holding crossbows in their arms. They charged and shouted: "The great Han soldiers are here, and those who stand in the way die!"

The Xiongnu soldiers didn't know how many Han troops came to steal the camp. Most of them ran away with their heads in their hands, and a few rushed out of the tent with weapons.

The sound of galloping horse hooves was like the urging of Hell, causing the entire Xiongnu camp to tremble. Huns kept falling, with shrill screams, splashing blood, fallen heads, and mutilated arms, staining the ground red. The stagnant water made the once ferocious Huns fearful and panicked.

King Zuo Li's heart was bleeding. The once invincible Huns were beaten into dogs in the Western Han Dynasty and split into northern and southern Huns. The southern Huns surrendered to the Western Han and became the lackeys of the Han people. After Liu Xiu's national strength weakened after the Eastern Han Dynasty and Wang Mang's new dynasty competed for the world, he regained the Western Regions, but the [-] Han army led by Dou Gu beat the [-] Huns into dogs again. The Han army pressed and rubbed on the ground, and beat them into dogs again, or dead dogs!
