    In a small mountain valley about fifty miles west of Liucheng, Zhang Xiu's more than 4,000 soldiers and horses were resting.

    After receiving the flying pigeon message from Military Advisor Fazheng yesterday, Zhang Xiu was thinking of a solution.

    Although Yangming¡¯s 5,000-strong army was thirty miles away from Liucheng, he kept sending scouts to find out about Liucheng.  Once he sends troops, Yang Ming will find out.

    In fact, Zhang Xiu did not take Yangming seriously. The Hulun tribe's combat power was only average among the Xiongnu, and his cavalry consisted of one man and two horses.  If they meet in the wilderness, Zhang Xiu believes that he can defeat Yang Ming.

    But now, he can't tangle with Yang Ming. He must capture Tongwan City as quickly as possible and force Liu Bao to withdraw his troops.

    When Military Advisor Fa Zheng sent him a letter from Fei Ge, he mentioned Liu Bao's situation of filling the city with sand to attack Maling, and also used the words "a hundred thousand urgent". Zhang Xiu could naturally think of it.

    That night, Zhang Xiu quietly left Liucheng and circled fifty miles westward, avoiding Yangming's scouts.

    "General, if we go around like this, we will have to walk more than a hundred miles. The fastest we can get to Tongwan City is tomorrow morning!" Hu Che'er seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhang Xiu's arrangement. "If you follow me, just go directly  Head north and kill that coward Yangming!"

    "Hu Che'er, it's true that Yang Ming is a coward, but if we fight him, will we be able to reach Tongwan City tonight?" Zhang Xiu glared at Hu Che'er, "When can you use your brain? We  Even if Yang Ming is defeated, can we not waste time? Can there be no losses? Can we still break through Tongwan City and let Liu Bao withdraw his troops? If there is an accident, my lord, how many heads have you grown?"

    "This" Zhang Xiu's few words made Hu Che'er immediately speechless. At the same time, he also realized the seriousness of the problem.  Their purpose is to break the siege of Maling!  "General, let's leave quickly!"

    "Hu Che'er, I will lead these one thousand soldiers wearing Xiongnu armor to leave first. Half an hour later, you will lead the remaining three thousand troops to set off!"

    "General, why don't we go together?" Hu Che'er didn't understand.

    "Let's go together?" Zhang Xiu glared at Hu Che'er again, "This general is going to deceive the city, not attack it! Will they open the city gate when I'm with you? You have to remember that you can't do anything on the road.  If there is any delay at all, we must respond promptly!¡±

    "Don't worry, General, I will remember it!"

    Zhang Xiu came up with a plan. Instead of attacking by force, he pretended to be a Xiongnu soldier and opened the city gate.  Although there are not many defenders in Tongwan City, Zhang Xiu does not have any siege equipment!

    A thousand soldiers wearing Xiongnu armor, led by Zhang Xiu, galloped towards Tongwan City.

    Zhang Xiu is very familiar with the terrain here. Apart from taking a short break during meals, one thousand soldiers and horses are marching during the rest of the day and night.  At noon the next day, after climbing over a hill, I saw the Huns' royal court, Tongwan City.

    Of course, this royal court only belonged to the left Xian Wang Liu Bao. The right Xian Wang went to the humble royal court in Mancheng, north of Yinshan Mountain.

    Looking from a distance, we can see that the city gate is not closed, and the Xiongnu people are coming in and out. They are carrying some things on their shoulders, probably prey, furs, etc., and some are driving some cattle and sheep.

    There were some soldiers on top of the city, not many, and there was no tense atmosphere.

    Since Tongwan City became Liu Bao¡¯s royal court, no Han army or other soldiers have ever attacked it, so the soldiers were naturally very relaxed, which made Zhang Xiu breathe a sigh of relief.

    Zhang Xiu ordered the soldiers to rest for a while, then slowed down and slowly headed towards the city gate.

    The Hun soldiers guarding the city were indeed very careless. Zhang Xiu had not reached the city gate until a tooth general came forward to ask.

    "What do you do?"

    "According to the king's order, escort the grain and grass!"

    "Escorting grain and grass?" The tooth general looked up at Zhang Xiu, "When the king left, didn't he bring half a month's worth of grain and grass with him?"

    "If the king says we will escort him, then he will be escorted. You, a little tooth general, dare to question the king, how many heads do you have?" After hearing what the tooth general said, Zhang Xiu was furious, and at the same time, he was filled with murderous aura.

    The title of the Spear King of the North comes from killing, and it is not just an empty name.  When Zhang Xiu was angry, how could that famous general bear it?

    "General, calm down, that's not what I meant!" The tooth general was frightened and hurriedly waved his hand behind him, "Quick, get out of the way!"

    The dozens of Huns soldiers guarding the city gate quickly retreated to both sides.

    "Enter the city!" Zhang Xiu waved his big gun, and the soldiers immediately entered the city.

    After entering the city, Zhang Xiu asked the soldiers to stop.Hundreds of soldiers surrounded the defenders at the city gate, and the rest quietly walked towards the city tower.

    "You" The tooth general felt that something was wrong. Although he was wearing the armor of a Huns soldier, the aura on his body seemed to be different from theirs.  And isn¡¯t it about escorting grain and grass?  Why stop?  He looked at Zhang Xiu carefully, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong, "You you are not the king's soldiers"

    "We are from the Hulun tribe!" Zhang Xiu didn't know how many soldiers and horses there were in the city, so he tried his best to delay time and let Hu Che'er arrive in time.

    "They are Han troops!" the tooth general suddenly shouted.

    It turns out that Zhang Xiu was self-defeating. This tooth general used to be from the Hulun tribe, so he was naturally very familiar with the leader Yang Ming.

    When Zhang Xiu saw that he had been seen through, he immediately shook his hand and shot the tooth general through the heart with his big spear.

    "Kill!" the Han soldiers shouted.

    Dozens of Huns soldiers near the city gate were all killed before they could react.

    There were five hundred soldiers on top of the city, and they were completely unprepared.  After hearing the shouts of the tooth generals under the city, he was suddenly stunned.

    Where did the Han army come from here?  The king is attacking Beidi County. I am afraid that all the Han troops will be killed. How could they come to Tongwan City?

    But then the shouts of killing from below the city made them wake up from a dream. If the Han army hadn't come to kill them, what else could they have?

    However, just when they picked up their weapons, the Han army had already rushed forward. Those at the front were all holding repeating crossbows.

    These Hun soldiers guarding the city were naturally weaker than the Hun cavalry. In the panic, they were killed in large numbers by dense arrows before they could pick up their shields.

    The soldiers at the back saw those in front turning into hedgehogs, and then they remembered to pick up their shields.

    The crossbow arrows fired by the hand-held repeating crossbow are fast and accurate.  The Hun soldiers wanted to block them all, so they could only curl up and almost hide under their shields.

    Another large group of Han soldiers rushed up. When they saw this situation, without saying a word, they waved their Han swords and started to kill.

    The centurion of the Xiongnu soldiers had already died in the chaos. They were first beaten to death by multiple crossbows, and now they were hacked to death by Han swords. They screamed incessantly and were in chaos.

    After a while, the five hundred soldiers who defended the city were killed by the Han army, and Zhang Xiu quickly took over the tower.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
