Chapter 1117

In the evening, Zhao Yun finally gathered up the Xianbei people and their cattle, sheep and horses who had fled in the valley for several miles. However, the 80000 Xianbei people only gathered more than 50000 people in the end. Among the remaining 30000 people, more than 20000 people died in the chaos army, and thousands of people fled to the dense forest on both sides of the valley. Zhao Yun has no time to pay attention to these now The escapees just drove 50000 Xianbei people into siyonghe town and imprisoned them all. Fortunately, when the territory of siheyong town was planned, it was a safe transfer station for the captured horses, so the town was still relatively large. As for the livestock, they all rushed to the temporary Barracks at the back of the town and were locked up.

Zhao Yun led a group of soldiers to inspect the people inside and outside the town carefully. Then he returned to the camp outside the town. Then he immediately summoned the generals to discuss the matter. This time, he was the commander of 30000 troops. In addition to him, there were several generals, such as Hu Yandu, Chen Jing, Zhao Ling, and Huang Yu The collar. A moment later, the main generals of all the departments have arrived in Zhao Yunzhang.

After all the generals arrived, Zhao Yun said: "today's war is more smooth than we expected, but the more difficult war is still ahead. There are still thousands of Xianbei people escaping this time. Although I have arranged cavalry to intercept along the way, the Suli army will find something unusual at the latest in five days. At that time, we will send troops north to understand the situation, and we can delay another two to five days In three days' time, even the most stupid people will notice the abnormality, and then our test will come. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun glanced at the generals and said, "so from tomorrow on, we must start to make full preparations. Now we have gathered 50000 Xianbei people. According to the schedule, the infantry will arrive tomorrow at the latest, so from tomorrow on, we will start to work separately."

"General Chen! General Zhao! General Huang

"The end will be in" three people answered.

"He ordered the three of you to select ten thousand from each of the fifty thousand captives, collect stones and timber from the mountains on both sides, and transport them back to the town."

"No!"

"General huyandu!"

"The end will be here!"

"Tomorrow you will leave ten thousand strong men from the remaining twenty thousand, and all the others will be dispatched by your department to take care of the cattle, sheep and horses behind the town."

"No!"

"The rest of the generals are responsible for guarding the remaining 10000 Xianbei people, making the inside and outside of the town proper, deepening and widening the trenches, improving the defense in the town, and starting construction immediately after the arrival of the infantry troops escorting the craftsmen."

"The end will take orders!"

"From tomorrow, Ben will personally lead the troops to watch the sentry cavalry sent by Sully, and fight for a longer time for everyone. All right, let's break up! "

"The end will wait to leave!" They all got up and agreed.

After everyone retreated, Zhao Yun didn't go to sleep immediately. He was still thinking about the defense of the town. Siheyong was really in a good position. In the South and West, there were rivers directly around, while in the north, there was the foot of the mountain. But for now, the size of the territory has not been expanded to that side, so it left a wide channel between the wall and the foot of the mountain I don't think there will be any danger here. After all, the town is close to the Ethan river. It is estimated that when the Xianbei army retreats, it is very likely that they will not even cross the river and will go north from the other side of the river.

Of course, he also has to consider this aspect. The most important thing is the river in the south. The river is too narrow, so he plans to widen the river in the south in the next few days, at least three or five feet wide, to stop the Xianbei army from crossing the river.

There was nothing to say in the night. The next morning, it was just dawn, and the whole siheyong town began to be lively. Zhao Yun sent baimayi out of the town, leaving only hundreds of his own soldiers. Considering that he had just captured the rear camp of Xianbei army, Suli should not get the news so soon, so Zhao Yun sent only 2000 baimayi down from the south to warn, The other three thousand soldiers were sent to the north to meet the five thousand soldiers who had not yet arrived.

Originally, Zhao Yun was the commander of Longxiang army, so he had 1000 soldiers. But Zhao Yun himself was the commander of Baima Yicong, so he didn't specially set up a guard camp for himself, except for the guard of Baima Yicong, which was stipulated by Huangfu Chaobo.

After baimayi left, the other ministries also started to take action. Chen Jing, Zhao Ling and Huang Yu each LED 10000 Xianbei people to the north of the town to cut trees and dig stones. They were just ready to take all the trees and stones from the foot of the mountain in the north of the town, and then extended the territory's walls directly to the foot of the mountain, so that they were close to the mountains and water, and their defense was more stable.

Later, huyandu led more than 10000 old and weak people out of the town and headed for the valley to the east of the town. Their task was to take care of the hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses. At last, the 10000 Xianbei young people left behind in the town were arranged to widen the river course to the south of the town. At the same time, they would build another camp to the east of the town, which was for the withdrawal of Xianbei army At that time, in order to prevent the tens of thousands of Xianbei prisoners from making trouble, these prisoners will be sent out of the town and placed in the camp outside the town.At noon, five thousand soldiers and hundreds of craftsmen escorted by them finally arrived in siheyong town safely. With the participation of craftsmen, the construction inside and outside the town was speeded up. The town wall in the West extended directly to the foot of the mountain. At the same time, the capture camp in the East began to be built quickly with giant trees.

As time goes by, the defense construction of siheyong town is more and more complete. Looking at these, Zhao Yun's heart is more and more stable. At this time, the battle in tangtougoutou is still fierce.

After another day of fierce fighting, the Xianbei army still failed to capture the pass. Suli had no choice but to order the army to withdraw. After returning to the barracks, Suli has been thinking about the war in tangtougouguan these days. He always feels very strange. It is reasonable to say that there are only a few thousand guards in the pass, but in the face of the repeated attacks of tens of thousands of troops, Suli has never shown any fatigue. There must be a problem, but Suli can't figure out where the problem is.

You know, the Xianbei army under Suli's command is 130000, but after two months of fighting, 30000 or 40000 people have been lost, and the Han army will lose thousands of people. However, judging from the situation at the head of the city in recent days, the soldiers are not exhausted, and it seems that the number of soldiers has not decreased much.
