Nothing happened overnight.

Darhan's army did not take advantage of the darkness to attack the city, but this does not indicate that they had nothing to do.

Weiyuan City was built close to Shuoqing Mountain, the mountain was steep and full of thorns, but at this time, a large number of Nabarian shield soldiers and infantry were rapidly approaching, and when they were about four hundred steps away from the city wall, they stopped one after another.

When he saw the abnormality of the enemy soldiers, Cao Dacheng, the military commander of Weiyuan City, had already sent someone to report to Shi Jiwei what kind of tricks the enemy was playing.

When Shi Jiwei arrived, Cao Dacheng also understood the other party's intentions. At the foot of Shuoqing Mountain, there is a low mound, which usually seems useless, but at this time it has become a stepping stone for the enemy. The infantry, under the cover of shieldmen and crossbowmen, were picking up dirt and raising the mound.

The Huaishuo army was able to resist the enemy's attack, not only because of the delaying effect of the moat, but also because of the condescending position on the city wall, occupying the geographical advantage, whether it was a bow and a crossbow or a rolling stone, it would pose a great threat to the soldiers of the Nabarian tribe.

The height determines where the advantage belongs. Darhan wants to build his heights. You are taller, and I am taller than you. The mound slowly grew higher as the soil was picked up.

Shi Jiwei couldn't let the other party succeed, so he ordered a strong crossbow to be fired, and the arrows were like locusts, pounced on the enemy soldiers around the mound, the arrows arrived, and the shield opened. At the end of the strong crossbow, the damage is not large. The mound continued to grow taller, and to make matters worse, the enemy soldiers were trying to slowly move the high point of the mound closer to the city walls.

The enemy must be prevented from continuing to raise the mound, Shi Jiwei only has this one thought. Thousands of Huaishuo iron horsemen rushed out of the gate of Weiyuan City, with horses' hooves and banners waving, rushing towards the direction of the mound.

Shi Jiwei took the lead, Cao Dacheng followed, Wei Zongliang and Ma Niu'er were also in the cavalry, and Duanmu Xu also followed.

Seeing that they were near the mound, the cavalry of the Nabarian tribe quickly attacked from the rear. The momentum is no less than that of the Huaishuo cavalry.

In the neighing of horses, the blades met, blood splattered, helmets fell, and some people turned on their backs. Shi Jiwei danced a long knife, killing in and out of the enemy soldiers, his eyes were red and his hands were hot. The merits of the Shi family should be established in this horse and sword, not to attach themselves to any one in the court.

Duanmu Xu also carried a spear, constantly assassinating, he didn't pay attention to the faces of the enemy soldiers, all he saw was a throat, a little bit of the head of the spear, it was a hole. The enemy soldiers kept coming, and they hit the cold light of the spearhead, as if they were desperately rushing towards the spearhead.

With the courage of Duanmu Xu and superb spearmanship, he protected the front of him and continued to push forward.

The soldiers and horses on both sides are staggered, and people are everywhere on their backs.

Duanmu Xu kept fighting left and right, but found that the enemy was so fierce that he couldn't stop it with one of his spears. He looked around and found that everyone was in a bitter battle, and even the captain Shi Jiwei was besieged by several enemy generals.

He immediately urged the horses to rush to support, but before the men and horses arrived, the spearhead had already made a contribution, and directly picked out one of the opponent's generals. He took advantage of the situation to rush into the encirclement, pulled the horse's head, threw the gun back, and faced the rush with Shi Jiwei.

With the addition of Duanmu Xu, Shi Jiwei's pressure suddenly decreased, and he took the opportunity to look at the surrounding situation. He glanced at Duanmu Xu, his gaze moved in the direction of the city wall, and with a wave of his long knife, he slashed at one of the generals on the opposite side, and while the opponent was dodging, he rode his horse out of the encirclement.

At the time of Shi Jiwei's action, Duanmu Xu had already picked up his spear, and directly picked out a general, and then jumped out of the encirclement.

Shi Jiwei yelled, "Withdraw." ”

The roar of the main general immediately turned into the roar of the Huaishuo army, and he retreated while fighting, and he was not flustered. The cavalry of the Nabarian tribe pursued and killed, but when they were almost within range of the crossbow fire in the city, they stopped alive.

Shi Jiwei led his troops back to Weiyuan City, although this battle temporarily hindered the progress of the opponent's mountain base, but the battle with the opponent's cavalry suffered some hardships. The Golden Horde had always been good at cavalry warfare, and this time they had the advantage of men and horses, and it was not wise to choose a frontal cavalry battle.

Although the enemy's fortress was blocked, it would eventually be high, Shi Jiwei looked around the tower behind him, and thought about it. It's not easy to build a mountain, but it's much easier to erect a building. He immediately issued two military orders, one was to erect a wooden tower on the city wall, facing the direction of the earth mountain. The other is to transfer the cavalry of the northern wing city and the gate city, concentrate the advantage of the cavalry, and prepare the shield soldiers and infantry to attack the opponent's fortress tomorrow.

The enemy came from afar, and the food and grass were always limited, so the only way to hold the city and block the opponent's move to build a mountain would make it convenient for the opponent to retreat without a fight.

Duanmu Xu constantly figured out the intention of Shi Jiwei's military order, and combined with the actions taken by the enemy, he felt that such a response was quite appropriate. But Uncle Huangfu's previous judgment has always haunted him, if this Huaishuo military town really fell, why did it fall. After the fall, he can fight his way out, and his life should be fine, but those citizens of Huaishuo City will suffer.

Although he didn't go to Huaishuo City many times, he felt warm when he listened to the enthusiastic shouts of those vendors along the street. Those people are all dragged by their families.

Since the war, the merchants and wealthy people in the city have fled in the direction of Bingzhou, but most of the city's citizens have stayed. Over the years, there has been nothing to do at the border, and the city has just been reinforced, and more importantly, they are reluctant to lose the family foundation that they have finally accumulated.

After thinking about it in his heart, Duanmu Xu considered how to make a suggestion to Shi Jiwei and ordered the people of Huaishuo City to evacuate first. However, speaking directly will definitely anger the captain, and perhaps he will be punished for a major crime of disturbing the morale of the army.

After thinking about it, he found that he couldn't find a good reason to let the people of Huaishuo evacuate. Let it be left to its own devices, and see if this Huaishuo will fall into the hands of the enemy army, leaving these citizens to their fate. As for the cruelty of the Golden Horde, he had not heard much about it in the Zhongshu Ling Mansion, but this time he learned something from the conversation between the soldiers in the barracks. The Golden Horde went out to plunder all kinds of goods and prisoners, but those who resisted were slaughtered.

However, after Shi Jiwei came to attack, all kinds of responses and arrangements were appropriate, and he deserved to be the first lieutenant of Daxian. Through these two days of fighting, Duanmu Xu also found that Huaishuo occupied a favorable location, and if the Golden Horde wanted to attack, it was almost impossible with the current strength and tactics. If the war drags on for a long time and the other side comes from afar, it will naturally be discouraged due to the problem of food and grass, and the troops will have to be withdrawn.

Duanmu Xu thought like this, which could be regarded as comforting himself, but the uneasiness in his heart was not alleviated by half a point.

Nothing happened all night.

It's just that the mound on the opposite side has increased, but the newly erected wooden building on Weiyuan City is even taller.

The arrows began to converge from the sky at dawn, and the Golden Horde soldiers thought that after the mound was raised, it would narrow the height gap with the city wall, and they never thought that the Huaishuo soldiers had climbed a higher wooden building, and the arrows were more damaging than they were condescending.

Darhan walked out of the tent and looked at the newly erected wooden building, his face did not show anger, but a smile, how can hunting a stupid wild boar compare to killing a cunning wolf.

He held in his hand the meal he had enjoyed in the morning, a large piece of dry beef jerky, which he stuffed directly into his mouth, and the horizontal flesh on his face kept shaking, as if he was eating the prey behind the city wall raw.

Darhan ordered, the mountain continued, and the cavalry continued to protect him, and he remembered the iron eagles who had been boiled to death by him.
