Blackwater City is actually not big, its scale is only about half the size of Rock City, comparable to five Blackwater battalions, and there are only 30,000 permanent troops in the city, of course, these 30,000 do not include the 3,000 soldiers of the Blackwater Battalion under the jurisdiction of the general garrison of Blackwater City.

As Heishui City, which once bordered the Qin State, in the years when the First Emperor Yingzheng had not yet unified the world, the city frequently switched between the Qin State and the Wei State, so that later the people in the city were only happy that they had finally become Qin people one day. They were glad that they had finally lived a peaceful life, but now they had to face a new enemy, the Huns.

Heishui City's only function earlier was to expand the Wei border by a hundred and ten miles, so this city was originally built only to divide the border between Qin and Wei, and it did not have any strategic significance in itself. However, now that the Qin army and the Huns are carrying out, Blackwater City finally has a place to use. Because the Huns were not good at attacking the city, even if there was no danger to defend, Heishui City still served as the front line of the Qin army's resistance to Heishui City.

Meng Li and the Yellow Leopard were walking on the walls of this war-torn city at the moment, Meng Li was also a native of Wei, and he was quite emotional about this Blackwater City, which most people in Wei had no impression of.

Touching the scars left by the arrows attacking the city on the city wall, Meng Li said as he walked: "Although I am also from the Wei State, I really don't have any impression of Blackwater City, maybe I just heard someone say when this city was captured by the Qin army, and then it was recaptured by the Wei people one day." ”

Yellow Leopard followed behind and laughed, he had been guarding here for many years, and he had been sent here to garrison after the Wei State was gradually captured by the Qin army. The feelings that Meng Li said in his mouth, Huang Leopard didn't feel anything, after all, he had already regarded this place as his home, from a small general of the army at the beginning, to the highest-ranking general in Blackwater City now, he had already married a wife and had children here, and he was also satisfied.

"Although General Meng is a Wei person, he has long abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and General Meng's father gave the general the surname Meng, which shows that the general's family did not regard the general as an outsider. The yellow leopard said with a smile.

Meng Li clapped his hands, looked at the empty land outside the city wall and said: "Yes, I seem to have regarded myself as a Qin person for a long time, after His Majesty the Emperor unified the world, there is no longer a distinction between the six countries, and the people of the world are all Qin people." ”

After finishing speaking, Meng Li continued to look at the north of Blackwater City, "As long as we can defeat these Huns, my Great Qin can truly settle down." ”

"Haha, the general can rest assured, with you, General Mengda, as well as 300,000 soldiers of the Mengjia army and the army of millions of tigers and wolves of my Qin State, just a small Hun is not a threat at all. ”

As soon as the yellow leopard finished speaking, a soldier hurried over. The soldiers of the Qin army ran to Meng Li and the Yellow Leopard, and said breathlessly, "General Qiqi...... General, Black ...... A large number of Huns were found in the direction of the Blackwater camp and were rushing towards us. ”

"How many of them are there?" (where have they been?)" Meng Li and Yellow Leopard asked at the same time.

"Well, I haven't seen how many people the Huns have, and it is roughly estimated that it should not be less than 30,000 horses, I am afraid that they have already arrived under the city wall at this time, and they are about to start attacking the city. ”

30,000 horses? Meng Li and the yellow leopard glanced at each other, originally today was the day that Meng Tian and them agreed to besiege the Heishui camp together, but they didn't expect the Huns to dare to attack them first.

"General Huang, quickly inform the other two city gates of the news that the Huns are coming to attack the city, if the Huns attack the city in a big way, they will never just stare at the west gate. ”

"Yes. ”

"Also, immediately send someone out of the city and find a way to contact General Meng Tian, so that he doesn't need to come to the rescue, and ask the general to directly lead his troops to attack the Heishui camp. "Qishu.com

"Yes. ”

After Meng Li gave everything, he hurried to the west gate on the city wall.

The West City Gate is facing the direction of the Heishui Camp, so the West City Gate is the first place where the Huns were found. In order to prevent the Huns from attacking the city, the west gate was also prepared for a long time, and arrows, sassal wood and stones the size of human heads were prepared on the city wall.

By the time Meng Li arrived at the battlefield of the West City Gate, the West City Gate was already under the command of the guards responsible for guarding the West Gate, and was methodically responding to the siege of the Huns.

Anyone who has seen the Mengjia army knows that the Mengjia army is very good at attacking cities, but they don't know that the Mengjia army is also very good at defending cities. The soldiers of the original Blackwater City, under the leadership of the Yellow Leopard, were not the elite of the Qin army, but they were also good on the battlefield. Now that they have met the Meng family army, which is known as the elite of the elite of the Qin State's million-strong army, some of the soldiers of Blackwater City, who are relatively high-spirited, want to compete with the Meng family army. And the soldiers of the Mengjia army, who have never looked at the armies of other places, naturally did not accept it, so a battle without gunpowder was also staged on the city wall.

On the city wall, the soldiers of Heishui City and the soldiers of the Mengjia army competed in secret, and it was the Huns who besieged the city who suffered. Originally, after capturing the Heishui camp, the Hun army captured a lot of Qin army's equipment, including chariots and huge crash logs that hit the city gate, which gave them more confidence in attacking the Qin army's city.

However, just after they excitedly rushed to attack Blackwater City, which was low-walled and inhuman, with the Qin army's equipment, the huge reality gap gave them a resounding slap in the face. Although the captured Qin army equipment is indeed useful, they don't know that those are the things that the Qin army has eliminated, and they were originally used to split and burn fire in the military camp, but they were regarded as treasures by the Huns.

At this time, the Huns had already sensed that something was wrong, and the siege ladder of the Qin army at the beginning was really useful, even if the Hun soldiers climbed up one by one, the ladder would not break from the middle. Moreover, the walls of Blackwater City are only less than two zhang high, and it only takes a soldier to hold a shield on his head, and it doesn't take a few breaths to climb the city wall and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Qin army on the wall.

However, it is these few breaths of time that have almost become an insurmountable chasm. I saw that the Qin army on the city wall used various long and short weapons to stab a Hun soldier who had just climbed the city wall with a shield, and then followed him The soldier continued to repeat his tragedy.

In fact, it is not surprising that the equipment of the Qin army is backward or that the Huns sent it are not elite or something, for the soldiers defending the city on the border, the daily drills of attacking and defending the city are commonplace, so in the face of the Huns attacking the city with the equipment they used to attack the city before, the Qin soldiers defending the city did not panic at all. Even if there is a companion who has fallen from an arrow, someone will quickly lift him aside, and then someone will quickly fill his place.

So after attacking for nearly an hour, the Huns did not even stay at the head of Heishui City for more than half a quarter of an hour, even if it was a thousand-commander, killed three Qin soldiers with a scimitar in his hand on the city wall, and then he was stabbed in the chest by two Qin soldiers with spears, one left and one right, and then pushed him down from the city wall.

"What's the matter, it's been so long, and not even a single city gate has been captured, are these people raised by mules?" Outside the battlefield, Tarim Sangkun rode on his horse and watched the siege of the city, he had no hope for the men and horses of the four tribes except himself, but now he knew that these men and horses sent to fill his troops were all a bunch of waste. In the past, you couldn't defeat the Qin army without siege equipment, but now you still can't beat the Qin army, what kind of battle is this!

Seeing that the big leader was angry, Sang Kun's military advisor said on the side: "Don't be angry, big leader, we didn't plan to rely on these people to take down Blackwater City. Our men and horses have all been arranged to go to Beicheng, except for the first time to fight with the Qin army, now that the offensive has slowed down, I have secretly transferred half of our men and horses back to our tribe, until Tunaji brings Princess Yinting back, and we will take advantage of the time when the other four tribes have no time to come back. ”

Sang Kun's originally angry face gradually calmed down after listening to the words of his henchman military advisor, he looked at the battlefield and said: "That guy in Kundu, relying on his younger brother to be the great leader of Arosa, the two tribes together are stronger than any tribe in our grassland, and he has long regarded himself as a Great Khan. When I find Princess Yinting first this time, I want to see what kind of face Kun Du has?"

The military advisor rode to Sang Kun's side and continued: "What the big leader said is right, as long as the big leader becomes the Great Khan, then the entire grassland will be your world, Great Qin, whoever likes it will go." ”

The people who followed Sang Kun were all old subordinates he had brought with him for many years, so these words of him and the military advisor were also listened to by these people. Neither Sang Kun nor the others noticed that a middle-aged Hun knight riding a horse suddenly moved as if stretching his waist, and in the bushes not far behind him, a figure quickly left and disappeared.
