Chapter 196 Cold Sweat

Seeing that Xue Shixiong was back, Yuwen Wen was quite moved. He felt that he was the first to achieve a "zero breakthrough" than the emperor, which was really something worth celebrating. He couldn't help but hum a song from another era:

"I ride a white horse and walk three levels..."

"Change plain clothes and go back to Central Plains..."

Yuwen Wen was thinking: Are you all your surname Xue anyway?

Several cavalrymen who were on guard on the official road saw someone coming and rode their horses forward. Yuwen Wen shouted loudly that it was his own person, and then looked at the north with great anticipation.

A few days ago, the captured Xue Shixiong would rather die than implicate his family, so Yuwen Wen came to "Submit Xue Shixiong" and accumulated a good relationship. Now that the other party turned his head back, he thought that there would be an adventure.

Xue Shixiong's hometown is in Hedong, and it is not possible to walk back and forth in just a few days. If you follow the popular routine, it should be just like Xu Shu recommends Zhuge Kongming to Liu Huangshu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, who would recommend him when he comes back.

Or recommend a family to serve the emperor.

This is not bad. If there are a wealthy family in Henan to serve the king, it would be enough to make the emperor overjoyed. Yuwen Wen thought of this and walked to the side of the road and turned over to the horse, ready to welcome the good news.

Xue Shixiong was getting closer and closer to Yuwen Wen, and saw him shouting something loudly. The cavalry who were facing forward walked halfway and somehow turned their heads to run towards Yuwen Wen.

When the cavalry approached, Yu Wenwen heard them shouting "Enemy attack", and couldn't help but be stunned: Enemy attack? I have arranged a Ranger police guard at least thirty miles north of Xuanhu. Where did the enemy attack come from?

His mind was spinning very quickly, and then he thought of another possibility, that was, the local powerful armed forces came, and then he remembered Li Zicheng, the King of Breakings in the late Ming Dynasty.

When Li Zicheng was leading more than 20 followers in Tongcheng, Hubei Province to check the terrain, he was attacked by the armed landlords and died in Jiugong Mountain. Yuwen Wen didn't want to be digged to death by an old farmer for no reason, so he quickly called his followers to be on guard.

He checked the terrain on the banks of Rushui, and asked his followers to pick woodcutters. At the same time, he also arranged the necessary alert forces, so he reacted very quickly. When Xue Shixiong rode his horse to Yuwen Wen, more than twenty cavalry were ready.

"General Xue, don't come..."

"King, go quickly, the enemy is coming!"

Xue Shixiong recognized Yuwen Wen and shouted directly without caring about so much. Before Yuwen Wen could ask about the specific situation, he saw dust in the north, and there seemed to be many cavalrymen galloping from north to south.

Seeing this scene, his heart beat violently, because this scene represents a possibility: a cavalry attack.

Yuwen Wen had attacked Xuanhu at night before, relying on light cavalry to gallop day and night, and there were many enemy cavalry. It would be nothing strange if this tactic was adopted. What was strange was that he had set up a Ranger police guard in the north, so why didn't he even have any news in advance?

Seeing that Yuwen Wen had not come back to his senses, Xue Shixiong shouted anxiously: "The king's raft has been made by them! If he doesn't return to the city, it will be all over!"

Yuwen Wen felt his head buzzing. In order to collect firewood as much as possible, he had sent many soldiers outside the city to collect woodcutters. Of course, in order to prevent sneak attacks, he specially sent cavalry to guard the surroundings, in order to make timely warnings and have enough time to get the soldiers back to the city.

Now that the incident happened suddenly, how could we get everyone to withdraw back to the city?

Yu Wen Wen thought so, looking at the dust flying in the north and the outline of Xuanhu City in the south, and couldn't help but sweat: It would be a bad thing for the enemy to chase him and rush into Xuanhu City!

.....

With the sound of horse hooves, nearly a thousand cavalry galloped south. Because they were one man and two horses, they were just the momentum of two thousand cavalry. The governor of Yingzhou Liu Zi'ang looked at Xuanhu City in the distance, and his murderous intention gradually arose.

A few days ago, the Yuzhou army that returned to Xuanhu was defeated at the city, and the Yuzhou general manager Heba Fuen was defeated and died. As soon as the news broke through Yingzhou, the army ordered to go south arrived in Yingzhou.

As soon as the news of Xuanhu's loss reached Yecheng, the army set out from Yecheng under the order of Prime Minister Yuchi Dun. It was originally intended to support Heba Fuen as reinforcements, but the enemy troops who attacked Xuanhu were most likely to break through the Dabie Mountains and enter the Henan boundary. Therefore, after recovering Xuanhu, they had to continue to go south and head to Guangcheng.

As a result, Hoba Fuen was defeated, and the defeat was so miserable that it was shocking. At the same time, someone pretended to be the emperor and called for the king in Xuanhu, which also made people feel uneasy.

The so-called military force is very fast. Liu Zi'ang, the governor of Yingzhou, was ordered to lead the cavalry to attack Xuanhu. The other party would never have thought that the court would organize a siege to attack the siege so quickly, and it would be just a matter of returning the slaughter of the people.

Liu Zi'ang was a general of Qi for a long time. After surrendering to Zhou, he became the general manager of Xiangzhou and the commander of Shu Duke Yuchi Jiong. He stood on the side of the Yuchi family since the second year of the second year. He is now considered a direct general.

He is good at cavalry combat, so long-distance raids are not difficult for Liu Zi'ang. The configuration of one man and two horses is enough for him to catch the enemy army off guard.

Three hundred of the thousand cavalry under his command were elite, and the rest were ordinary soldiers, but they were enough to make Xuan Hu turn the world upside down. The impostor emperor who was cast as a monkey, and the so-called "one-legged bronze man" Yu Wenwen, who wanted to capture him alive and escort him to Yecheng!

"Empress! There are dozens of cavalry ahead to fight!"

Liu Zi'ang heard the general's shouting, and looked up and saw dozens of cavalry half a mile away in front of him. He was walking south, but then turned to his own side to rush forward. It was thought that the enemy ranger found that something was wrong and sent someone to rush back to report the message. The remaining people tried to intercept and buy time.

Not long ago, the vanguard sent by Liu Zi'ang pretended to be a merchant and successfully eliminated an enemy ranger without missing a single person. He thought he would go directly to Xuanhu next, but unexpectedly, some of the ranger found their traces.

But it was too late. Liu Zi'ang looked at the distance. Even if he was delayed by these people for some time, he could rush into Xuanhu before the city gate was closed.

Even if you can't rush in, you can force Xuanhu to stay behind the door and defend yourself. Then the enemy soldiers stranded outside the city will not be able to gather together and become their prey. As long as your cavalry wanders outside the city for several days, waiting for the main force to arrive, you can just wait to capture Xuanhu.

Thinking of this, Liu Zi'ang couldn't help but despise Yuwen Wen, the legendary brave and good at fighting, who was said to be the most capable person in the Yuwen family. As a result, he took it lightly as soon as he won the battle, thinking that sending some cavalry to guard the outside world would make him rest assured. He was simply ignorant of the world.

"Please pay attention, line up and break through them, and then divide the troops into the city!"

"There is a moat outside Xuanhu City. You must rush in before the suspension bridge rises, and then control the suspension bridge!"

The command sounds came one after another, and a thousand cavalry were galloping in the wilderness and rushing towards the Xuanhu not far away. At this time, Xuanhu had not even reacted.

Just as Liu Zi'ang was full of confidence and was about to break through dozens of cavalry and rush into the city to start a massacre, he saw dozens of steps ahead, his outpost cavalry suddenly stumbled, and then he felt cold sweat.
