Chapter 50 Hexi County

October!

The wind in the north of the Great Wall is cold and sharp like a knife scraping the bones.

The battle of Anning Pass ended. The army of the Northern Army of Jubei Pass resisted the 300,000 Xiongnu troops without retreating. They were still fighting.

The Qishan Fortress was breached by the army led by the Right Xianwang of the Xiongnu. 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry went south and trampled the land of Yan, Qi and Deng.

The land of the three states fell, women were taken away by the Xiongnu army, the old, weak and disabled were slaughtered, and strong men were taken as slaves.

Large numbers of refugees fled south, and countless gold, silver, treasures and food were taken away by the Xiongnu army. It can be said that the land was devastated.

The fall of the three states caused an uproar in the Wei Dynasty.

Countless literati and scholars cursed the court for inaction and the generals guarding the pass for being greedy for life and afraid of death.

Jin Daorong, the general of the Qishan Fortress, was dismissed due to the world's curses.

The second prince, the regent, did not expect the situation to be so serious. The fall of three states also put him under great public opinion and pressure.

In desperation, the second prince could only give an order to let Li Hou, the general, lead 200,000 troops to the north to drive out the Huns.

The second prince's biggest backer, Li Hou, led 200,000 troops to the north, making the Luojing court more turbulent, and the second prince gradually tired of dealing with it.

Now in the entire Wei Luojing, the princes, princes, and ambitious people are fighting openly and secretly, and they are fighting back and forth.

The changes in the capital have also had a great impact on the border.

The pension that Yang Ye submitted for application has not received a reply for a long time.

The request of the court to send troops to reinforce the Beiguan Zhenbei Hou was also shelved.

After experiencing the baptism of war, the Anning Army is still recruiting soldiers, training troops, and slowly recovering its vitality.

On this day, a letter for help was delivered to Yang Ye.

Two hundred miles west of Anning Pass, there is a county named Hexi.

The most northwestern county of the Wei Dynasty, to the northwest of Hexi County is the Hexi grassland, which used to be the Hexi Prefecture of the Wei Dynasty, but was taken away by the Rongdi tribe. The only remaining county was named Hexi County.

The letter in Yang Ye's hand is a letter for help from Hexi County.

The 30,000 Rongdi troops knocked on the pass, and half of the 2,000 defenders of Hexi County had died in the battle. Now they are in danger. The magistrate of Hexi County requested the Anning Army to send troops for support.

Yang Ye gave the letter to the five lieutenants to read.

After reading it, the five lieutenants looked solemn.

"This is really a troubled time!" Sun Hao sighed.

The entire northern border was a beacon fire, and there was no peaceful place.

"The scouts reported that the army of Zuo Xianwang retreated 20 kilometers and did not lead the troops back to the depths of the grassland. I am afraid that they are unwilling to give up and are still eyeing Anning Pass." Li Daoru said.

At present, 80% to 90% of them are new soldiers in Anning Pass. Once the Zuo Xianwang returns, the pressure will only be greater.

When the border army is not loved by the grandmother and uncle, it is the most difficult. On the one hand, it is the responsibility to defend the land, and on the other hand, it is ignored and abandoned by the court. They can't retreat, and can only defend with their lives.

Nowadays, the Anning Army is very dissatisfied with the court and has many complaints.

"You tell me, what should we do, who should be sent to reinforce." Yang Ye looked at several of his subordinates.

Zhao Yongan, Sun Hao and others looked at each other.

They all have to stay in Anning Pass, so they can only send troops.

But there are very few of their subordinates who can stand alone.

"Or, let Sheng Huaian go. His strength is comparable to that of a congenital. I think he should be able to resist the Rongdi tribe. After all, it is not a large Rongdi tribe." Sun Hao suggested.

Among all the lieutenants, Sheng Huaian is the strongest now, and he has some skills in leading troops to fight.

"Yes, I also recommend Sheng Huaian. This guy is a good fighter and a militant. If he goes, he will definitely be willing." Zhao Yongan also nodded in agreement.

"In this case, we can only let him go. Dispatch soldiers to complete his troops and let him set off immediately to support Hexi County." Yang Ye also gave the order immediately.

Soon, Sheng Huaian received a military order.

"What? Let our battalion reinforce Hexi County?" Sheng Huaian looked at the messenger and thought he had heard it wrong.

Their battalion has only 300 people and has not been formed yet. 300 people go to reinforce Hexi County?

What a joke!

"The general has ordered that the troops should be dispatched to complete your battalion first. Let you, Captain Sheng, lead the troops to set off immediately to reinforce Hexi County." The messenger said.

Sheng Huaian was relieved when he heard that their battalion was to be completed.

If he really took a mere 300 people to reinforce, what would be the difference between that and sending himself to death.

He immediately ordered the assembly, and the three hundred soldiers under his command quickly assembled.

"Captain, urgent assembly, is there a war?" Guo Xiaoping asked.

"Yes, there is a military order. Hexi County is under attack by the Rongdi army. General Yang Ye ordered our troops to go to reinforce." Sheng Huaian said loudly.

"Captain, are you sure the military order is correct?" Hu Bing's face was full of doubts.

There are only three hundred people in their camp, how can they reinforce?

"Yes, there are another 1,700 people who will be added to our camp." Sheng Huaian explained.

After listening to Sheng Huaian's explanation, everyone finally cleared up their doubts.

"Let's go!"

Sheng Huaian led the team to the parade ground. Yang Ye had already assembled the troops, two thousand war horses, and 1,700 soldiers.

"Report to the general, our troops have been ordered to assemble." Sheng Huai came to Yang Ye.

Sun Hao and Zhao Yongan stood behind Yang Ye.

Yang Ye looked at Sheng Huaian and said, "Hexi County is in urgent need of help. I will give you two thousand soldiers. You should take two thousand cavalry and rush to reinforce them. We cannot let the Rongdi break through Hexi County and move south. Can you do it?"

"Defend the territory to the death and drive out the enemy." Sheng Huaian said loudly.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news!"

Yang Ye nodded with a smile.

"Get on the horse!" Sheng Huaian ordered immediately.

Two thousand people got on the horse, and Sheng Huai waved the battle flag.

"Let's go!"

He led two thousand cavalry and set off immediately without stopping.

Two thousand cavalry drove out of Anning Pass and galloped towards Hexi County.

Watching Sheng Huaian lead the troops to set off, Yang Ye watched the team go away.

Now that several generals and he could not leave Anning Pass, they could only leave the hope of reinforcing Hexi County to Sheng Huaian.

They also wanted to see if Sheng Huaian could create a miracle.

It was a helpless move. They really couldn't take out elite troops to reinforce Hexi County.

There must be innate strongmen in the 30,000 Rongdi army.

For Sheng Huaian, this is a challenge.

Besides, there are 1,700 new recruits who have never been trained and cooperated. Sheng Huaian himself is also full of anxiety.

But Hexi County must be saved. Once the Rongdi people break through Hexi County, Yongzhou will also face the Rongdi cavalry.

If the Rongdi people attack from behind Anning Pass and cooperate with the Xiongnu army, it will be even more fatal.

…

At this moment, the four gates of Hexi County are closed, and the Rongdi army is approaching the city.

Last night, the Rongdi army made a tentative attack, sending only 2,000 people to attack the city, causing the defenders in the city to lose more than 500 people.

In order to seek help, the county magistrate and the captain guarding the city doubled the casualties.

Today, the Rongdi army continued to attack, and 3,000 Rongdi troops continued to attack the city.

The soldiers defending the city resisted stubbornly, and stones, gold, etc., were constantly thrown down to prevent the Rongdi army from attacking the city.

The county magistrate and the captain of Hexi County both held swords and went up to the city wall to kill the enemy.

Led by the county magistrate and the lieutenant, the two thousand county soldiers of Hexi County did not retreat and fought bravely.

Under the call of the county magistrate, the ambitious people in the city and the warriors with martial arts also went up to the city wall to help defend the enemy.

"Soldiers, hold it, the reinforcements of Anning Army will arrive soon, and victory will definitely belong to us." County Magistrate Chen shouted loudly to boost morale.

The 30,000 Rongdi troops invaded, and they could not defend it without reinforcements.

Looking at the Wei army who resisted tenaciously on the city wall, Yu Danjun showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he was playing with prey.

"Sir, why don't you just press the army to take over Hexi County and loot all the property." An old man on the side said.

"Uncle Xianyou, there is no pleasure in killing prey with one strike. We should enjoy the process of chasing and hunting.

Just like now, we have to enjoy the resistance of the Wei people, and then slowly turn into despair. We have to appreciate their desperate expressions, so that we can have a sense of conquest." Yu Danjun said with a smile.

They are the Xianyu tribe of the Rongdi tribe, a large tribe in the Rongdi tribe, occupying the Hexi grassland.

This time, the prince of the Xianyu tribe, Yu Danjun, wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Hexi County with 30,000 troops to the south.

Seeing Yu Danjun say this, Xianyou did not say anything more.

Otherwise, with the few defenders in Hexi County, he, a congenital strongman, could take down Hexi County.

"Come on, send another 3,000 people to press on. I want to let these Wei people feel what despair is." Yu Danjun continued to order.
