Chapter 387

Wenxian, on the tower.

Sima Lang, dressed in a white robe, was directing the soldiers to resist the attack from the Huns outside the city. The Huns outside the city were mighty and fierce, which put great pressure on Sima Lang.

Sima Lang's garrison at the east gate of Wenxian county has been resisted by various means. Lei wood, rolling stone, boiling water, rolling oil, etc Sima Lang sent all the instruments that could be used.

The archers kept firing arrows outside the city tower to harvest the lives of the people who attacked the Huns.

But Sima Lang's available forces are constantly decreasing.

After all, it's been a day.

It was the next day.

Sima Lang is confident that he can hold on for another day or two. After all, he still has some troops not sent to the battlefield. He was in command. Instead of sending all his troops to fight, he increased them a little bit.

At any time, maintain the power of the first World War.

The cry of killing is still ringing.

Fighting continues.

Sima Lang dressed in white, spotless, although Sima Lang is a scholar, but sitting at the head of the city, dark calm, not the slightest fear, but calm, steady command of the battle.

Time goes by little.

At the end of the day's fighting, the Huns outside the city retreated.

Sima Lang was also relieved when he saw the Xiongnu left. He immediately dispatched soldiers who did not participate in the war to help clean up the battlefield and deal with the wounded.

After all, Sima Lang rearranged his defense.

It's almost early in the morning when everything is busy.

The soldiers in the army took a rest, but Sima Lang went back to the house at the head of the city, sorting out the gains of the first World War in the daytime and thinking about the shortcomings of the first World War in the daytime.

In the fight yesterday, the magistrate of Wen County died.

Wenxian county magistrate and Sima Lang are old friends. Sima Lang helped Wenxian county magistrate fight in the first world war yesterday. After the death of the county magistrate, Sima Lang led the army to resist the attack of the Huns.

"Step on it! Step on it

The sound of footsteps came from outside the room.

Just listen to a creak, but a young man quickly came in.

He was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was born quite handsome. He was Sima Yi, Sima Lang's second younger brother. Seeing Sima Lang lose a lot of weight in one day, Sima Yi said: "brother, this battle has just begun. Wen county is short of troops. Can it be stopped? "

Sima Lang said: "even if you can't stop it, you must fight to the end."

"If we give up and withdraw the family's private soldiers, what will the people in the city do? At that time, the Huns will be rampant and Wenxian will turn into a hell on earth. "

"As long as Sima's hometown is well preserved, we still have the strength to defend it."

Sima Langyi said in a righteous voice: "what's more, I've arranged for someone to go to Heyang County to ask Zhang Xiu to send troops to help. Now Zhang Xiu has captured Heyang County. With his strength, as long as he rushes to Wenxian County, he will be able to defeat the Huns. "

Sima Yi dropped her eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "what if Zhang Xiu doesn't come?"

Sima Lang said: "if that's true, I'll admit it. Anyway, it's not time to retreat. Second brother, you are responsible for looking after your brother. I'm not at home. You're the eldest brother, you know? "

"I understand," said Sima Yi

After a pause, Sima Yi said: "brother, I suggest you leave some soldiers around even at the end of the battle to protect your own safety. At least when it's most dangerous, it can cover your retreat. We all want to win and keep Wenxian, but we have to think about the worst. "

"I know," said Sima

"Dong! Dong

Knock on the door, and outside the room.

Sima Lang said, "come in!"

"Creak!"

The door was pushed open and a dusty sentry in black entered.

The sentry came back from Heyang County overnight. He passed the news to Wang Yue. Finally, he got the news that Zhang Xiu was going to help Wenxian County, so he went back as fast as he could.

When Sima Lang saw the sentry, he was so excited that he said, "what's the situation?"

There was hope in his eyes.

If Zhang Xiu brings troops to Wenxian County for help, everything will be easy to do.

There is still hope in Wenxian.

If Zhang Xiu refuses, it will be meaningless for him to stay in Wenxian. Asking Zhang Xiu for help is also the strength of Sima Lang's garrison in Wenxian, but he also knows that he is not related to Zhang Xiu, Wenxian is not under Zhang Xiu's rule, and Zhang Xiu may not be able to rescue him.

However, Wenxian is still hopeful.

The sentry said: "report back to Mr. Zhang, general Zhang promised to send troops to rescue Wenxian. Now, he's on his way. However, when he returned from his humble post, general Zhang once said that this trip to Wenxian might not go smoothly, so that Mr. Sima would be ready for a fight to the death. "

Sima Lang's eyebrows rose and he was puzzled for a moment.

What is not going well?

What does that mean.

Sima Lang thought about it and asked, "did general Zhang not explain the reason?""No!"

The sentinel shook his head and said, "General Zhang only said this, and nothing else."

Sima Lang said, "I see. Go down."

"Here it is

The sentry nodded and turned away.

The look on Sima Lang's face was also very dignified at this moment. He looked at Sima Yi and asked, "second younger brother, you are good at strategy and have a good command of the art of war. Why do you say Zhang Xiu is not going well in this trip?"

Sima Yi pondered for a moment and replied: "literally speaking, it must be Zhang Xiu who sent troops to help and would be stopped. I think there are two ways to stop them. "

"First, they are Huns."

"When the Huns attacked Wenxian this time, it seemed fierce. In fact, throughout the battlefield, it was infantry that attacked, and no cavalry ever attacked."

"According to the information we got, yufuluo has 10000 cavalry and 10000 infantry. Now only infantry attack. The only possibility is that the Huns' ten thousand cavalry were not in the vicinity of Wen County. They were lying in ambush on the way, preparing to surround the area for help. "

Sima Yi said, "because Zhang Xiu speculated that there might be ambush on the way, so she said that the rescue was not smooth. Let's prepare for a fight to the death."

"Second, Yuan Shao's troops."

"At present, according to the news, Zhang Yang not only sent Yang Chou to guard Heyang, but also asked Yuan Shao for help."

"Yuan shaodajun, will come soon."

"Yan Liang, the general of Yuan Shao, was captured alive by Zhang Xiu, which is a great shame for people like Yuan Shao. If you don't defeat Zhang Xiu, how can you wash away Yuan Shao's humiliation? "

Sima Yi said: "the second possibility is that Yuan Shao may send troops to intercept Zhang Xiu. But now, as far as we know, yuan Shaocai has just entered dangyin County in the north of Hanoi county. It is impossible to arrive within ten days and a half months from dangyin county to Huai county. "

At this point, Sima Yi made a pause.

In his heart, he quickly reasoned again, and finally said: "so I think that Zhang Xiu will be ambushed by the Huns in the middle of the battle."

Sima Lang also had a big smile on his face and said: "what my second brother said is true. At present, Yu Fuluo has only 10000 infantry to attack the city, even though the garrison is less than 2000. But at least, I can stick to it. "

Sima Yi said, "where is the city broken?"

Sima Lang looked calm and said: "the gate is broken, and Sima's family is still here. Once the east gate can't be guarded, we will retreat to Sima's house and guard with the help of Sima's house. "

Sima Yi frowned and said, "brother, your plan is not feasible. It's too dangerous."

Sima Lang said: "second brother, you are just too cautious and do things too sparingly. It involves countless people in Wenxian county. As long as we are still in the city, it is enough to attract the Huns' troops. They can't kill the people. "

"Hold on to the end, what if Zhang Xiu arrives?"

"Moreover, the Sima family is the Sima family in Wenxian county. The reputation of my Sima family is not acquired by ordinary people, not by falling from the sky, but by accumulating things one by one. "

"This time, Wenxian encountered such a big event. The Sima family went all out and vowed to die. After this time, the foundation of Sima's family will not be shaken. "

"The common people will support the Sima family."

Sima Lang looked wise and said: "although there are certain risks, wealth is in danger. Whether it's for the Sima family or for the people of Wenxian County, I have no reason to retreat. "

"Alas..."

Sima Yi sighed: "brother, you said so. What else can I say? You can rest assured that I will pacify my brothers and not drag you back. I will try my best to organize the people in the city and call on them to resist. "

"Well, it's my brother."

Sima Lang's eyes were full of praise.

Although his two younger brothers cherish their bodies, on the whole, they are quite good.
