    This peculiar siege by the Huns only lasted for more than an hour, causing minimal casualties to the Han army, but he paid a heavy price. This made Liu Bao very frustrated, and he had no choice but to set up camp and slowly think of a solution.

    Liu Cong and Fazheng were not in a very relaxed mood when they returned to the prefect's mansion.

    "My lord, the Xiongnu soldiers are still very powerful. Attacking cities is not their strong point. I'm afraid Liu Bao will wake up after a while." Fazheng said.

    "Are Xiaozhi worried that they will not attack Beidi County but go south directly?" Liu Cong asked.

    "My lord is wise, this is exactly what my subordinates are worried about!" Fazheng nodded, "The area of ??Xianyang Chang'an is empty of troops, and there is a large amount of grain and grass stored there. If the Xiongnu troops and horses suddenly arrive, our losses will be great."

    Since the autumn and winter of last year, the Han Dynasty has built several more granaries, and the grain and grass stored in them can last for three years. Among them, there is one in Chang'an and Xianyang. Dong Zhuo's house was also renovated in the past. The grain and grass stored in them are not as large as Dong Zhuo's.  At that time, there were many, but it could also supply the entire Guanzhong Road and even the Anding area of ??Tianshui.

    "If Liu Bao did not attack Beidi County and went south directly, judging from the combat power displayed by the Huns soldiers today, it would be very difficult to stop him.

    In fact, when Liu Cong was in Luoyang, he discussed these situations with Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others in the Ministry of War. The reason why Liu Cong came to Beidi County in person was to attract Liu Bao here for the final decisive battle without bringing him  The war is leading to Guanzhong and even the Central Plains.

    "Is there any good strategy for filial piety?" Liu Cong thought for a while and asked.

    "My lord, although Liu Bao is quite resourceful compared to other Xiongnu leaders, he still has the reckless and aggressive nature of the Hu people. His subordinates thought that as long as he was angered, he would only think about revenge.  , will not go south easily.¡±

    "Aggrieved?" Liu Cong nodded after hearing this. What Fazheng said was also a way, "Send a message to Zhang Xiu Fei Ge and ask him to sneak attack Liu Bao's camp tonight!"

    "No!" Fa Zheng resolutely carried out Liu Cong's order, but he frowned.

    "Does Xiaozhi think it's not feasible?"

    "My lord, Liu Bao must be unprepared tonight, and a sneak attack is indeed the best time. It's just that Zhang Xiu has too few soldiers and horses. With five thousand soldiers and horses among a hundred thousand troops, my subordinates are worried that they will be overwhelmed!"

    "The key to sneak attack operations is to be unexpected!" Liu Cong is not worried. When he was a special forces soldier in his previous life, even if it was a dragon, a tiger's den, or a dragnet, he would cause chaos.  However, Liu Cong immediately thought of a problem, that is, in the past, special forces operations required very detailed enemy defenses. If they rushed in blindly, even if they had three heads and six arms, they would be shattered to pieces.  "Xiaozhi, sent an order to Tianwang camp to do everything possible to draw a detailed distribution map of the Xiongnu army camp, and pass it along to Zhang Xiu!"

    "My lord has thought carefully. With the defense plan of this camp, Zhang Xiu will not be surrounded by enemy troops. My subordinates will make arrangements now."

    Fazheng immediately left the study of the Prefect's Mansion and went to find the soldiers from Tianwang Camp.

    Liucheng is a very inconspicuous small county town in Beidi County. It is connected to the desert on one side and the grassland on the other. There is very little cultivated land around it and the vegetation is not lush. Therefore, there are very few people living here.

    However, their lives are quite comfortable. Whether they are ordinary robbers or Huns' cavalry, they rarely visit here.

    Zhang Xiu was very familiar with this place, so his five thousand soldiers and horses were stationed in Liucheng.

    Zhang Xiu has already learned about the news of Liu Bao's army dispatching. She is at the county magistrate's house, thinking about how to create some trouble for the Huns soldiers and reduce the pressure on her lord in Maling City.

    "General General" Hu Che'er ran in panting, "General, good news. Liu Bao commanded an army to attack the city outside Maling City, but was defeated by the Han army led by the lord, and lost five people.  More than a thousand soldiers and horses!¡±

    "Hu Che'er, what kind of good news is this?" Zhang Xiu smiled, "Compared with my lord, Liu Bao is far behind. I had long thought that his attack on the city would be defeated."

    "Actually, I have thought of it a long time ago!" Hu Che'er also smiled, "But I still feel very happy after killing more than 5,000 Huns soldiers."

    "Report" At this moment, a soldier ran into the county magistrate's office, "Report to the general, I received a letter from Fei Ge from Tianwang Camp."

    "The flying pigeon delivers the letter, please bring it up quickly!"

    "No!" The soldier handed the letter to Zhang Xiu.

    Zhang Xiu opened the letter, read it carefully, and immediately showed an excited expression on his face.

    "General, is this a letter from the lord?" Hu Che'er askedarrive.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, my lord lets us rob the camp tonight!¡±

    "It's great to rob Liu Bao's camp!" Hu Che'er jumped up excitedly, "I've wanted to kill the Huns soldiers for a long time. Staying in Liucheng will suffocate me to death!"

    "Hu Che'er, you immediately reorganize your troops and horses, make food at the first watch, and set off at the second watch. The army must arrive outside Maling City before the third watch!"

    "No!" Hu Che'er ran out of the county magistrate's office.

    At the second watch, Zhang Xiu's 5,000-strong army had already gathered outside Liucheng. Each man had two horses, a total of 10,000 horses.  The soldiers of the Han army all carried bows and arrows on their backs, but some had iron bows, and some carried repeating crossbows. The other horses had shields, throwing spears, and Han knives.

    Originally, swords were hung on the waists of the soldiers, but this time they had another sharp weapon hanging on their waists, flying thunder!

    The opponent was a camp with 100,000 cavalry, and Zhang Xiu only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, but he did not have the slightest fear, although it was no secret that stirrups and horseshoes were used, and the Huns cavalry were also equipped.  But these serial crossbows and flying thunderbolts, in the words of the lord, are enough to make Liu Bao and his soldiers drink a pot!

    "General, the army has been assembled!" Hu Cheer said loudly.

    "Set off!"

    Zhang Xiu gave the order and the army set off in a mighty manner.

    Although it was night, Zhang Xiu was very familiar with the terrain, so the marching speed was not slow.  An hour later, the army was about thirty miles away from Maling City.

    "Stop!" General Zhang Xiu waved the big gun in his hand, and the army stopped.

    "Wrap the horseshoes!"

    All the soldiers immediately dismounted, took out a few pieces of animal skin from the pouches on the horse's back, put a thick layer of straw on the animal skin, and wrapped the four hooves of the war horse.

    After wrapping up, I remounted my horse. The speed of the war horses did not slow down, but the sound of the horses' hooves was much quieter. A five thousand army with ten thousand war horses made about the same noise as hundreds of people marching.

    The journey of more than thirty miles was nothing to the cavalry, and they arrived quickly.

    Zhang Xiu ordered the army to stop.

    "General, the Huns' camp is so big!" Hu Che'er was a little surprised when he saw the endless tents.

    "What, Hu Che'er, are you afraid?" Zhang Xiu asked with a smile.

    "General, I am happy, but I am afraid that the enemy troops are too few, and the battle will be over before we can kill enough!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
