Two days ago, Ning Nanyou general Lu Xun summoned him and asked the supervisors and guards to take advantage of the night to escort the people of the border town out of the city in batches.

A month and a half ago, he came to the north and did not rush to enter the city. Instead, he chose to wander outside the county area. It was not only to investigate the terrain of Cangshan, but also to find secret places around the border town to be stationed and utilized.

He did not expect that this secret place would be moved in a month, but he just wanted to get things done in the North, so he made full preparations.

After listening to his order, Lu Xun sent all the elderly, weak, women and children in the city into the camp where the Jingshu guards were stationed in the mountains, forests and valleys.

All the strong young men in the city, who voluntarily stayed, would join forces with the army to defend the border city together. Those who would not want to stay were sent out by Liao Yuncheng.

After this arrangement, there will be more people in the county town to use.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Nanyou began to make arrangements in the Protectorate Mansion.

In order to make Li Jian awaken, he specially asked Bai Weimeng to leave several boxes of military supplies and hide them in the middle of Qinglu. When Li Jian and his accomplices were arrested, they carried the supplies out of the yard to wake Li Jian up.

Before Li Jian sneaked into the Protectorate's Mansion late at night, Deng Qing, who was seriously injured and unconscious, had been transferred out by Lu Xun.

The servants in the mansion were replaced by soldiers under Bai Gu's guards and elite guards.

None of the entire mansion was Deng Qing’s confidant.

In order not to make Li Jian and others suspicious, these soldiers of the army and Han Dynasty put on the clothes of servants and walked down in the dark night.

Li Jian rushed to Qinglu, and the conversation between the soldiers he heard in the corridor was deliberately designed by Jiang Chengjia. In this way, Li Jian would definitely believe that Deng Qing was here without hesitation, and that there was no one in charge of the Protectorate's Mansion and the entire border city.

Ning Nan said that Li Jian still has a strong relationship with Deng Qing. Even if he wants to burn the Protectorate's Mansion and use this to blame Deng Yueyu, he will never hurt Deng Qing.

So before he takes action, he will definitely go to Deng Qing's house first and take him out of the Protectorate Mansion.

Therefore, Jiang Chengjia disguised himself as Deng Qing, lying in the house, waiting for Li Jian to arrive.

After successfully arresting Li Jian, everyone evacuated the Protectorate Mansion as Ning Nanyou said.

Although the detailed works in the Protector's Mansion had been found by Lu Xun, his spies still hid and inquired in the city.

So Ning Nanyou took the plan and followed Zhou Yuanmo's will and burned the Protectorate's Mansion. He also instructed Lu Xun and Liao Yuncheng to make the fire bigger, the better.

The sky-sky flames cut through the dark sky of the small city.

The careful exploration in the city was indeed taken to the bait. Thinking that their plan had been successful, they rushed out of the city and reported to Zhou Yuanmo and the King of the Huns.

The Huns' military camp was stationed not far from the Canghe River, only ten miles away from the border city. The fires ignited by the Protectorate's Mansion were too fierce and conspicuous. Combined with the spies' reports, they naturally thought that there was already civil strife in the border city.

Ashanda was waiting for a long time and could no longer bear it. Even if Zhou Yuanmo saw some abnormalities from it, he would not have time to stop the Huns from sending troops to attack the city.

At this time, Qian Hui led Changming's army of 50,000 soldiers to ambush outside the border city, waiting for the opportunity.

In the city, Jiang Chengjia led the archers, crossbowmen and Jingshu guards to arrange troops everywhere. The archers were ambushed on the eaves, the crossbowmen hid in the corner tower, Jingshu guards scattered in various streets and alleys, and the ten thousand Changming troops commanded by Bai Weimeng were scattered in the streets and alleys on both sides of the city gate.

When Zhao Fu resisted the bad luck on the city wall, everyone was ready to go.

The city gate was broken, and Zhao Fu came out of the side gate and met Qian Hui who was ambushing the outskirts of the city.

Therefore, the enemy's strength was dispersed by the empty city plan.

The battle in the border city was slightly settled. Liao Yuncheng released wolf smoke in the city, sending a signal to Ji Xianzhi and others in the ambush in the Riye Forest. While Ashanda was preparing to lead all the troops to capture the north, the Xiongnu royal court and the grain warehouse on the grassland were also attacked by Jingshu.

The Huns scouts were extremely fast. Before Ashanda could follow Soloqi and attack the border city, he learned about the reason for the royal court, so he had to go back to check it out.

As a result, the Huns' army lost another 40,000.

The remaining six special forces 80,000 troops were arrogant and arrogant, thinking that the battle was about to be determined and the Huns would win, so they relaxed their vigilance.

Qian Hui and Zhao Fu found this opportunity to attack and defend in one fell swoop.

After 80,000 troops and horses, they defeated the Xiongnu 200,000 soldiers and fled in a panic.

Such a chain of plans is extremely time-consuming and brain-consuming, and one step is staggered, and everything is lost. However, Ning Nanyou is very bold and meticulous, not only bold but also calm. Jiang Chengjia admires her for her.

She looked at him, her eyes filled with pink hearts, and she loved him more and more calmly.

Ning Nanyou was stared at by her and felt uncomfortable all over. His deep eyes were still solemn: "We can't take it lightly yet. Now... although the Huns' army withdrew, they are still stationed along the Canghe River. When Ashanda handles the matter of the royal court, they will definitely make a comeback.

The Huns adjusted their troops and regained their morale for only three or five days. After a little rest, they would raise their troops to attack the city in less than half a month. If Archie also came with his father during the second siege, the disaster of the border city would probably not be so easy to solve."

Seeing his endless worry, Jiang Chengjia said helplessly: "I know what you are thinking. But now... it is a good thing to win a great victory in the border town first. If you can hold the Huns for a few days, you will have a chance to resist the enemy."

Ning Nanyou did not refute what she said, but his face was not good-looking.

After he pondered for a while, he changed the subject: "In the past few days, you have been preparing for the war with everyone and fighting with the soldiers... Are you tired?"

Jiang Chengjia shook his head and said, "In the past, when I was hiding with my brother in the world, I also lived like this with my blood. This battle was not tired for me. On the contrary, I think this battle was really exciting."

Her eyes were filled with joy. As long as she saw her husband, she could wipe out any tiredness.

Ning Nanyou stretched out his hand with a smile and cried, rubbed her hair on her bun, and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Chengjia laughed twice and sat obediently beside him: "It's getting late. Let's take a break soon? Qian Hui, Zhao Fu and others will come to report the military situation tomorrow."

She knew that Ning Nanyou was unable to walk out of the house due to serious injuries. Although he was lying on the bed, he was worried and he definitely did not have a good rest.

Perhaps he didn't close his eyes all night last night, so his face turned so bleak and tired.

Ning Nanyou smiled slightly and never refused her.

So both of them burrowed into the bedding, hugged each other and closed their eyes, and fell asleep.

In the border town, I put down my bow tightly for the time being.

For wartime considerations, the people who moved to the valleys and forests outside the city were not escorted back by the Jingshu, but continued to hide there, waiting for the storm to subside before returning to the city to recuperate.

Everyone thought that the Huns would not attack quickly within ten days, but who had expected that the enemy had just evacuated for only two days before they could show signs of hidden movement again.

The scouts who were exploring the enemy situation in front immediately rushed back to the border town to report.

In the county magistrate's mansion in the city, all the generals gathered together and learned from the scout that Ashanda had calmed down the affairs of the royal court. He had a capable military advisor under him. When Xiao Shanyu returned to the royal court, he went to Beimo to persuade the Xianbei king to send troops.

Now the Huns have added hundreds of thousands of troops, making a comeback from the Sakha grassland.

With the support of the Xianbei people, even if the royal court's grain and grass warehouse was burned, these Xiongnu cavalry also had other military supplies.

Qian Hui was shocked when he heard the news and said in panic: "It is really unfavorable for us to send troops at this time. After 80,000 soldiers in the city have suffered a lot of damage and have not yet recovered their vitality and fighting spirit. How can we fight against the Xianbei and Xiongnu coalition forces?"

Ang Lee's face was stiff, his head was lowered, and he fell into deep thought.

Bai Weijun's expression was solemn: "General Zhao Fu was like someone in the previous battle... he was injured some times, which may affect his troops. In this way... in the border town, only General Qian is the only one who can stand alone..."

Qian Hui smiled bitterly and said, "I am alone, even if I am crushed to pieces, I am afraid I can't beat the Huns and Xianbei."

Bai defended the title silently.

The city has long been full of troops, military defense and even supervising the three sides, and the total number is only 120,000 troops.

However, according to the information sent by the scouts, the total number of enemy troops rushing to the Sakha Grassland ahead was 240,000, not to mention the 160,000 Hun soldiers resting along the Canghe River.

Even though their elite troops suffered numerous losses in the previous war, they still had the advantage in numbers.

Moreover, the Xianbei people's combat effectiveness is even more powerful and terrifying, three points more terrifying than the Huns' horses. Neither Changming's army nor the barracks of border guards could resist.

An Ang was trembling in his heart and said worriedly: "If the soldiers in the city can last for seven or eight days... the reinforcements from the capital and the dispatch of governor Xiao can all arrive in the city..."

"What Lord Li said is the exact news?"

Just when the three of them were at a loss and didn't know what to do.

A call came from behind them.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the source of the sound.

Then I saw a girl with outstanding looks and fairy standing in the courtyard. She clasped her hands together and placed her end in front of her, and her face was as beautiful as a natural painting.

The three people in the pavilion who were discussing military affairs stood up from the seat and saluted respectfully to the girl: "Mrs. Shao."

Jiang Chengjia nodded slightly, then walked over, stood in front of Ang Lee, staring at him with a serious expression.

Ang Lee lowered his eyes, his pupils turned around in his eyes, and finally replied with great certainty: "What he said...is the news from the front. I can't guarantee it in four or five days. But within seven or eight days, reinforcements from both sides will definitely arrive."

Jiang Chengjia paused in her eyes, thought for a while, and said solemnly: "If so... I might have a way to hold on for a while."
