"Haruki, why did you retreat so early?" Because of the retreat of Ximen's troops, the attack of the other three city gates was stalled, and Sang Kun had to order the whole army to retreat.

Inside the camp, Haruki knelt on the ground, and Sangkun sat above his head, nibbling on a piece of roast lamb in his mouth, angrily asking him why he had withdrawn so early.

The leader was furious, and the siege wood of the west gate was burned by the fire, and he could not continue to attack the gate. If we continue to attack the city, I am afraid that we will suffer a lot of casualties, so I ordered the withdrawal of my troops. Haruki said as he knelt on the ground.

There are only two people in the big tent now, Sang Kun and Haruki, Sang Kun is a little less angry after listening to Haruki's words, and he continues: "Hurry up and get me new crash wood, and continue to attack the city for me tomorrow." The Qin army now knows about us, so we have to fight quickly and defeat Beijun for me before the Qin army's reinforcements arrive. ”

Haruki raised his head and said, "Great Chief, rest assured, Beijun City is already a fat sheep on our table, and it can't run away." ”

"Hmph, I hope so, if you can't knock down the West City Gate tomorrow, then tomorrow night my table will be your fat!"

On the first day, the attack of the Hu people was repulsed, which gave great morale to the people of Beijun and the Qin army in the city, and the people in the city prepared fat beef and mutton and fragrant wine to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers defending the city.

Han Jin and Abra also stayed on the city wall to keep vigil with the soldiers around them, the Hu people also like to sneak attack, before the Yumen Pass was taken by the Hu people night attack, in order to prevent the siege of the city during the day unsuccessful, the night to sneak attack, so Abra only allowed the soldiers who defended the city and a bowl of wine, and anyone who dared to drink more was dealt with according to military law.

"My eldest brother said he wanted to come here to have a look, but I stopped him. Walking side by side on the city wall, Abra said to Han Jin beside him.

Han Jin also changed into an armor at this time, and changed his county guard uniform, because the armor was a little heavy, so Han Jin had some difficulty walking. "Lord Zi's health is not good, it is too dangerous to come to such a place, we just need to guard the North County City and not let him worry. ”

In the distance, the Hu people's camp is on fire, and the joint camp is dozens of miles, standing on the city wall and looking at the past is very spectacular.

"It seems that the Hu people are bound to break my Beijun City, as expected, tomorrow's battle will be more tragic than today's battle, but I'm worried about whether we can hold it tomorrow. "In the face of an enemy many times larger than oneself, no matter who you are, you may have the idea of losing it. This is not a battle between two people and six people, but a battle between 200,000 and 600,000 people, and no matter how well prepared the northern county town is, it is difficult to make up the gap in numbers.

Abra was worried, he put his hands on the city wall, "Anyway, the Northern County is our home, and I will live and die with it." ”

"The general is right, Beijun is our home, and we will never give it up to the Hu people. If the Hu people want to get it, they have to step over our corpses as well. Han Jin clenched his fists, they just need to hold on to tomorrow, and reinforcements will definitely arrive.

"Report to the general, our army is still a day and a half away from Beijun. The scouts at the front arrived in the Chinese military camp and reported the military situation to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian raised his head and asked, "What is the situation in the northern county city, have the Hu people started to attack the city?"

The scout replied: "During the day, the Hu people launched a strong attack on the four gates of the Beijun City, but fortunately, the fortifications of the Beijun City were well prepared, and the Hu people failed to take advantage of it, and more than 30,000 people were killed and wounded, so they retreated. ”

Beijun City is the only Xiongcheng in the northwest of the Qin Kingdom, its city wall is modeled on Xianyang City, in order to build the city wall even moved a mountain near the Beijun City, it can be seen that the city wall construction project is huge. There is a lot of grain and grass in the city, and there are more than 90,000 Qin troops stationed in the city, although these people are a little worthless in front of the 600,000 Hu people, at least they still have the strength to fight.

Meng Tian was not happy about the battle report from the scouts, on the contrary, he was worried that today's siege battle might just be a temptation of the Hu people, and after today's fierce battle, I am afraid that the arrows in the northern county city have been almost consumed. Tomorrow, if there is no suppression of arrows, the Hu people will quickly advance under the city walls and attack the city gates. The city wall is the only obstacle in the northern county to resist the Hu people, once the city gate is lost, then the 200,000 soldiers and people in the city will all wait to die under the butcher's knife of the Hu people.

"Pass my order, tomorrow the cavalry will go first, and they must reach the north county before the sun sets. Meng Tian stood up and said to the scouts under the account.

Before dawn, Sang Kun hadn't woken up yet, when he was woken up by the beauty in his arms, saying that someone was looking for him outside.

"Who ruined Lao Tzu's dream!" Sang Kun scolded and scolded, and reluctantly left the arms of the beauty, casually put on a fox fur and went to the camp outside with an open mind.

When Haruki saw Sangkun coming out, he hurriedly said, "Great Chief, Captain Gandalf's soldiers want to see the Great Chief, and he said that if he can't see you again, he will tear down your camp. ”

"Gandalf, what did he come to me for, didn't he say it all, whoever enters the North County City first will be the big leader, what, he wants to change the hexagram?" Sang Kun thought for a moment and asked Haruki.

Haruki shook his head, and he said, "I don't know about this, but I'm very angry when I look at him, and I don't know what annoys him." ”

Sang Kun looked disdainful, and he said: "This Gandalf has no ability at all, and it is all because of the guards under the command of the lord that he dares to be so arrogant. If he hadn't been a close confidant of the lord, Lao Tzu would have cut him down with a knife. ”

Gandalf is also one of the leaders of this expedition with Sang Kun to lead the army to the east, compared to Sang Kun, Gandalf is more like the leader of the army of 600,000 Hu people, because Sang Kun is an outsider, and Gandalf is a person known to all the countries in the Western Regions, so this attack on the North County City, Sang Kun is responsible for attacking the west gate and north gate of the North County City, and Gandalf is responsible for the south gate and the east gate. The soldiers with shields and spears were the guards of the lord who had taken refuge with Sangkun, and this time they brought a total of 20,000 men, and Sangkun and Gandalf each had 10,000 in their hands.

"Go, let Gandalf in. No matter how much he didn't want to talk to Gandalf in his heart, Sang Kun still had to be respectful to his immediate boss.

A burly man with messy blond hair and blue eyes walked into the camp tent and saw Sang Kun snorting coldly and standing there without speaking. He was followed by two Guards soldiers, also standing behind Gandalf.

"Oh, dear Highness Gandalf, who provoked you, you told me that I would kill him to relieve your anger?" Sang Kun greeted him with a smile on his face, and the change was so great that Haruki who was standing on the side sighed to himself.

Gandalf still snorted coldly, and then walked straight to the tiger skin seat that belonged to Sangkun and sat down, and then brought himself a glass of wine, but he didn't swallow it in his mouth, and spit it directly into the brazier in the camp tent, and the brazier that had not been extinguished met the wine and suddenly burned into a flame.

Sang Kun didn't give Gandalf a good look, the smile on his face remained unchanged, he walked up to Gandalf and asked, "I don't know why His Highness is angry early in the morning?"

Gandalf looked at Sangkun and said, "Sangkun, let me ask you, you said that this city can be beaten down in just one day, and now it has not been beaten in one day, and my people are still so dead, you have to give me an explanation." ”

At first, it was Sang Kun who boasted in front of his brother-in-law how weak the Oriental people were, they couldn't afford to carry a knife in their hands, they couldn't ride a horse on their legs, and their seemingly towering city was not vulnerable at all, as long as their army arrived, they could receive a large amount of gold and jewelry, as well as beautiful and enchanting Oriental beauties. When they first started the war with the Qin army, it was indeed similar to what Sang Kun said, until they arrived at the city in front of them, and yesterday alone, they lost more manpower than they had produced in a year, which made Gandalf very angry, and he asked Sang Kun to give him an explanation.

Sang Kun couldn't say anything about Gandalf's questioning, after all, those words were a lie he told to these people in the Western Regions in order to take revenge, and now that he was frustrated under the Beijun City, he couldn't admit that what he said before was false.

"Dear Gandalf, trust me. Yesterday it was our soldiers who were not prepared, and it was not that we lost to the Qin army. Gandalf, don't worry, we will definitely take down this city today, as long as we defeat it, we can use it as a stronghold, and then encroach on the land of the Qin army little by little. ”

"Are you sure today?" Gandalf didn't believe Sangkun's words, after all, the walls of this city were much higher than their walls in the Western Regions, and their soldiers couldn't climb them.

Sang Kun patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, it's absolutely true, we had already climbed the city wall in Xicheng yesterday, if it wasn't for the cunning Qin army's fire attack, we would have broken their city gate yesterday." As long as we break down their gates, then everything in the city is ours. ”

Gandalf had heard about the Guards climbing the city wall and fighting the enemy in close quarters yesterday, and today he would be suspicious of Sangkun's assurances. "Well, I'll trust you again, and if you can't break through the gates today, then I'll open them with your head at night. ”

After Gandalf finished speaking, he left angrily, and before leaving, he did not forget the two oriental beauties that Fang Cai Sangkun said. The reason why he dared to come here in person this time was for his brother-in-law, as long as his brother-in-law had more land and cities in the East, then he could compete with his brother who was the emperor, and he Gandalf would be the new Duke of the Roman Empire, with heavy troops, and it was even possible to make his brother-in-law the new Emperor of the East, and he would be His Royal Highness.

The sun rose again in the east, and after a night of repair, the soldiers of Beijun regained some strength, and before they had time to stretch their waists, the horn of the Hu army's attack had sounded again!
