Invincible Iron Army 42, 200,000 arrows came so easily book flag
The dense arrow rain continued, the Xiongnu army soldiers all wanted to kill the Jin Dynasty's Jiedushi and establish meritorious deeds, so they shot arrows in a competitive manner, some even chasing after the Jiedushi's large banner. The Jiedushi's large banner was filled with arrows, wherever the soldier holding it went, all the soldiers rushed to escape, as if seeing a plague god. It was laughable, if one stayed here, immediately tens, hundreds, thousands of arrows would come flying over.
The arrows were getting denser, and the soldiers holding the large flag were also hit by more arrows. He thought to himself: "If I weren't wearing thick armor, I would have died long ago."
The Xiongnu soldiers were filled with longing, constantly launching surprise attacks. The Xiongnu Chanyu was also full of expectation, thinking that if they could kill the Jieyang Military Governor of Great Jin, they could strike at the morale of the Jieyang military and civilians, as well as the morale of the entire Great Jin border troops. Additionally, it would also boost the morale of the Xiongnu.
The Huns' army had always been invincible, and the Huns cavalry was almost a nightmare for the Jin army. However, after arriving at Fuyu City, their nightmare began as they were repeatedly defeated by Wang An's troops.
Nancheng was the main direction of attack, and before the war, almost all Xiongnu soldiers and Jin soldiers thought that this place would definitely be broken through. However, reality is very cruel. Under a series of despicable and shameless tactics by the defenders of Nancheng, the Xiongnu were defeated. What's more, they even launched a night raid, killing many Xiongnu soldiers. The remaining Xiongnu soldiers under Youxian King almost became beggars. The tragic situation is indescribable. After this battle, Youxian King, who had always been arrogant and contemptuous of the Jin army, began to fear Wang An and refused to take charge of attacking here again.
The Huns need victory, they need a victory too much.
The Xiongnu's arrow rain continued, hoping to kill the Jin dynasty's Jiedushi in one fell swoop. The arrow rain became even more intense. Almost all of the Xiongnu soldiers came to test their marksmanship.
A dense rain of arrows flew into the city of Youyang, and the accumulated arrows on the city wall grew more and more. Du Lin, Wang Xueli, Qian Xuegui, Sun Zhicheng, and Zhao Xiangqian were stunned, thinking to themselves that it was so simple to obtain arrows, why hadn't they thought of it before.
The Xiongnu soldiers shot for a while, and found that the great Jin Yu Yang Jiedushi's large flag was still moving. They felt that the effect was not good, so they slowly stopped shooting.
Wang An: "Immediately pick up the arrows shot from the city", the soldiers picked up the arrows, put them together, and counted the number of arrows. Liu Jiao looked at Wang An with admiration, thinking to herself: "Wang An is really capable". Jiang Cai and others were also staring in amazement, their admiration for Wang An deepening even further. The soldiers under Wang An's command were even more respectful of him, thinking that in Youzhou or even the entire Jin dynasty, who could defeat the Xiongnu troops, but our general can. Look at this, the lack of arrows almost stumped the defensive envoy and the jiedushi, but when it came to General Wang's hands, the problem was almost solved without using up an entire afternoon.
The soldiers checked the number of arrows, about 230,000. Wang An said: "We are all old customers, take care of your small head and wipe it out, you just give me 20,000 taels of silver." Liu Jiao Jiao happily agreed, and immediately wanted to pay. But was stopped by Du Lin and others. Du Lin said: "Wang sir, we still have some inventory in our hands, so let's not buy this time, and come back to purchase when we are short later." Liu Jiao Jiao said: "You guys are lying, didn't you just tell me that there were no more arrows? How can you change your words now?" Du Lin smiled awkwardly: "We remembered wrong." Wang An said: "The deal is not made, but the kindness remains. Our small shop welcomes the presence of several big bosses at any time."
Looking at Dulin's departing figure, Liu Jiao stomped her foot in anger and said, "They actually dare to cheat me!" Wang An smiled and said, "They were originally short of arrows, it's not that they cheated you." Liu Jiao was shocked and said, "Since they are short of arrows, why didn't they buy these arrows? The price of these arrows is not expensive after all." Wang An said, "It's a Jianghu principle, saying it out loud doesn't make sense. They saw me use your large banner to borrow arrows so easily, they must have gone back to imitate my method and borrow arrows again, why would they spend money buying these arrows?" Liu Jiao said, "How can people be like this? So deceitful, making others look down on them." Wang An said, "Jiao, I'm asking you for a favor." Liu Jiao's mood was good, so she immediately said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely help you make it happen. These guys are deceitful, I'll make them come and buy your arrows." Wang An shook his head and said, "No need, that is to ask you to issue an order, not allowing the group to sell arrows to them." Liu Jiao felt extremely surprised and immediately asked, "Why? Isn't that letting them off easy?" Wang An said, "You also know my personality, I'm most willing to help others for joy, to sacrifice myself for others." Jiang Cai, Du Lu, Zhang Wan, Li Li, and Liu Jiao all shouted, "Cut it out!" Liu Jiao thought, you like to help others for joy? Are you talking about a fairy tale? Wang An must be thinking of some bad idea, someone is going to be unlucky. Wang An couldn't withstand Wang An's repeated requests, so he had no choice but to issue an order with him. Wang An saw it and was overjoyed, carefully putting it in his arms. Seeing Wang An's happy expression, Liu Jiao immediately felt a sense of being deceived.
Dulin and others discussed on their way back: "It turns out that getting arrows is so simple, why didn't we think of it? Since the method is so simple, there's no need for us to spend a lot of money buying these arrows from Wang An."
Dulin returned to the east city and immediately ordered his soldiers to make a large banner of a Jiedushi, also wearing thick armor, holding the banner, and constantly walking on the city wall. Dulin repeatedly boasted to his subordinates: "Look, the Xiongnu must think that our Jiedushi is under this big banner, and soon they will densely shoot arrows at us, and we will get a lot of arrows." The soldiers below said: "What a wonderful plan! How come we didn't think of it? Defense Envoy Dulin is really wise and resourceful!" The banner fluttered in the air as the soldiers held it and walked around the city wall, but there was no movement at all. The officers looked at Dulin, thinking to themselves: "Didn't he say that the Xiongnu army would definitely shoot arrows at us? Why are they completely still?" Dulin's face turned red, thinking: "What's going on? I saw Wang An borrow arrows from the Xiongnu easily, why is it so difficult for me?" Dulin said to his subordinates: "Maybe the Xiongnu soldiers didn't see it, let's try again." The banner walked around the city wall again, but the Xiongnu still had no movement. Dulin's face turned even redder, and he refused to admit his mistake, loudly shouting at the soldiers: "You walk around the city wall again!" As a result, the soldiers walked around the city wall again, but there was still no movement.
Dulin thought to himself, "Could it be that the Xiongnu soldiers are not guarding the border?" So he stuck his head out of the watchtower to take a look. As a result, hundreds of arrows shot in instantly. If Dulin hadn't quickly withdrawn his head, it would have been pierced like a hedgehog's. Dulin was filled with doubts in his heart.
Like Dulin, Wang Xueli and Qian Xuegui were also full of doubts. They didn't know why the Huns were completely silent this time and no longer shot arrows at them from above. Dulin felt that he had lost face in front of his subordinates, and his heart was extremely embarrassed.
The morning sunlight shone through the window into the room, warming it up. Wang An was about to recite a poem when he suddenly noticed several old men with wrinkled faces staring at him with ill intentions. He hastily said, "What do you want? I'm not interested in men." Du Lin and others looked stunned, saying, "We're not interested in men either, we have other business with you." Wang An said, "Then why did you barge into my room and stare at me with those smirking faces?" Du Lin almost choked, saying to Wang An, "This is a smile, don't you think our faces look friendly?" Wang An said, "I don't think so." Du Lin and others were taken aback.
Du Lin didn't entangle with Wang An on this issue, and said to Wang An: "Wang sir, we think that a person cannot be without credibility. We have already agreed with you to buy arrows from you. If we go back on our word, it will have a bad influence if it gets out, and Wang brothers risked their lives and worked hard to get these arrows. If we don't want them, it would be too unfair to Wang brothers' efforts. So I've decided to use 20,000 taels of silver to buy your arrows." Wang An thought to himself: "You're trying to deceive me, you must not have gotten the arrows and that's why you're saying this." Wang An said with a tragic expression: "Defense Commanders, you are my superiors and I respect you very much. However, that damned Jiedushi won't let me sell arrows to you, and I'm also helpless." After finishing speaking, he took out the letter Liu Jiao Jiao gave him.
Du Lin's face was shocked, saying: "The governor is confused, how can he give such an order?" Wang An said: "Yes, the governor's order, we cannot disobey it." Wang Xueli said: "We will go find the governor now and ask her to withdraw the order." At this time, Liu Jiao walked in, and all the generals stood up together. Wang An and others suddenly had a smile on their faces, welcoming the governor. Wang An asked: "Governor, why have you come to our humble abode?" Liu Jiao said: "I came to see you, otherwise I would be scolded by others." Wang An smiled awkwardly, thinking that his words must have been heard by her. Du Lin said: "Governor, please withdraw your order and let Wang An sell us the arrows." Liu Jiao said: "That was an order given in a moment of confusion, but since it has been given, it cannot be withdrawn." Du Lin was shocked and thought: "Our words must have been heard by the governor." Du Lin said: "Now the city defense is urgent, and the army cannot lack arrows. Please, Governor, withdraw your order as soon as possible." Liu Jiao said: "I can withdraw the order, but whether Wang An will sell you the arrows or not is not up to me to say. After all, it was you who regretted it first."
Du Lin turned his head and looked at Wang An, asking him: "What's your intention?"
