After several days of preparation, Touman launched his first tentative assault on the city of five cars two days earlier, but it ended in failure. The three thousand crossbow troops in the Five Cars City, as well as the ballistae that looked chilling, the crossbow arrows they fired formed a dense fire network at a distance of fifty to three or four hundred steps outside the Five Cars City.

Touman watched the battle that day, the Qin army shot several times intensively, and the vanguard of the 3,000 siege had already lost hundreds of people before they approached the moat. Looking at the death array formed by the dense crossbow arrows on the battlefield, even the long-time battlefield Touman unconsciously felt palpitations. Fortunately, he immediately gave the order for the besieging troops to retreat in order to avoid further damage.

The rudimentary siege tools were simply useless to the tight defense system of the Five Cars City. The moat in front of the city wall alone was three or four feet wide, and it was an insurmountable chasm.

This undoubtedly shows that Wuchecheng is a hard bone that is difficult for the Huns to gnaw on. Touman calculated in his heart, if he wanted to capture Wuche City, it would undoubtedly be difficult. First of all, it is necessary to mobilize a large army, cut the upper water channel, and make the moat useless. But this is only the first step, to occupy the walls of the Five Carriage City, it will take at least one or two thousand warriors' lives to achieve the goal. The loss of the attack was too great, his army came thousands of miles, and his original plan was to rely on the surprise attack to succeed, but who knew that his army had not arrived, and Wuche City had already taken precautions, and the original plan was difficult to realize, so he had to fall into a protracted war that he least wanted to see.

The Xiongnu were originally nomadic people, and even if the people were soldiers, the herdsmen's tents were military camps. Its military potential is huge, if it is fought, it will be fought, and if it can't be beaten, it will be thousands of miles away, and there is no way for these Qin people to take them. There are fertile grasslands within a radius of hundreds of miles in Wuche City, as long as there are enough cattle and sheep, Toumanda can confront the Qin army in Wuche City, and it doesn't matter if it takes a year or two.

But if this was done, Touman would have to let the Xiongnu in the Hetao area transport grain and grass over again, and move the Xiongnu's base camp here. In this way, the Great Xiongnu were caught between the Great Moon Clan and the Qin State. It is surrounded by mountains, and once it is surrounded, tens of thousands of horses become turtles in the urn.

Such a strategic expectation is undoubtedly the worst, but as a Xiongnu Shan Yu, Touman also has to make the worst plans.

The Hun camp, the head of the man king's tent.

Touman's heart has already sprouted the intention of retreating, but this expedition is in vain. Several brave generals who had followed him for many years were also slaughtered a few days ago. If he retreats at this moment, the damage to his personal prestige is too great.

The big tent was empty, and Touman walked back and forth, hesitating in his heart. But when he remembered the content of the old shaman's divination, the hesitation in his heart instantly dissipated, and his determination to capture Wuche City became firm again.

This Anxi Jun Yingziyi will be the biggest enemy of the Xiongnu in the future, and the culprit of the decline of the Great Xiongnu.

Originally, he didn't believe it, but what he had seen in the past few days had to admit that the content of the old shaman's divination was very likely to come true. Ying Ziyi lives for a day, and his head man can't sleep and eat for a day.

This war is no longer just about money, horses and food. Touman's current goal is only one, to eliminate Ying Ziyi at all costs.

"Shan Yu, we caught a few spies of the Southern Barbarians." Just as Touman was about to write a letter to recruit the Hun branch of Hetao to move over, he heard the voices of soldiers outside the tent.

"Spies?" Touman said suspiciously, "Bring them up." ”

Seven big men in ragged clothes and damp bodies were tied in, and only one of them could be heard shouting: "Shan Yu, we are not spies, we are Zhao people who escaped from Wuche City." ”

"Zhao Guoren?" Tou Man was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the Zhao State was a country that was destroyed by the Qin State a few years ago. He asked, "You say you are not spies, but the lights of the city of Wuche City are bright, how did you escape?" ”

"That's just a bluff on the part of Yingziyi. In fact, the five-car city has long been a strong foreign powerhouse. Two days ago, the fuel for the bonfires lit on the city was already insufficient, but the Qin army forcibly demolished the houses, and the people's resentment boiled. At present, there is a shortage of food and fuel in the five-car city, and many residents have frozen to death and starved to death, and people are panicking. Several of our brothers were originally from the Zhao State, and they had a grudge against the Qin State to destroy the country. We didn't want to wait for death in the city of five cars, so we found a gap tonight and escaped, wanting to join Shan Yu. ”

"So, let's talk about it, how many days of grain and grass are left in the city of five cars?" Touman asked.

"The grain road has been cut off, and there is less than five days' food in the five-car city." The man replied.

"And said that he was not a spy!" Tou Man shouted, "I think you are just a war slave, how can you know the specific amount of grain and grass of the Qin army?" ”

"Alone in tolerance." Seeing the sword and axe added, the man calmly replied: "When I was in Zhao State, I was originally in charge of grain and grass, and I was good at arithmetic, so I paid special attention to the grain and grass of the Qin army. In the past few months, every time the Qin army transported grain and grass trucks, he memorized it silently and calculated slightly, and he got a specific number. ”

"Is there such a strange person in the world?" Touman was suspicious, and the minister who was in charge of grain and grass among the generals came and asked him to put a few bamboo slips in front of the man. He said, "I will give you half an hour, and count the amount of grain and grass that you have brought, or you will feed the wolves today." ”

The number recorded on the bamboo slips, even the most arithmetic talents of the Huns, it is difficult to calculate without four or five hours. Touman had the heart to see him laugh.

The man smiled, glanced at each book, and in a moment, came up with the answer. He smiled: "I'm afraid that there is only one month's grain in the account alone." ”

Touman was shocked when he heard this, this was a top secret, only a few people knew about it, but now he was learned by a captive and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"Naturally, this account told me?" The man smiled slightly, leaned over, and said.

Tou Man Yiqi stood up from his seat and laughed: "Okay, okay, from today onwards, you will follow me and manage the grain and grass for me!" ”

"And my brothers?"

"Come with you and serve my Huns! I will order a great tent of warmth and clean food to be prepared for you. ”

The seven people bowed down and said, "Thank you Shan Yu." ”

Touman was very happy, not only because he got a talent tonight, but more importantly, he learned about the reality in the city of five cars. Less than five days of food, haha! God help me. Touman laughed, that is to say, as long as it takes another five days, even if they don't fight, the people in Wuche City will not be able to fight.

Over the next four days, Touman launched a tentative attack on Wuche City by a large army, and he found that with each passing day, the Qin army's counterattack became weaker. By the fourth day, 3,000 besieging troops had reached the moat.

There was a shortage of food in the city of five cars, and morale was sluggish, and Touman's heart was already convinced of the words of his new Minister of Finance.

"The five carts of food are exhausted, pass on my order, and the army will rest for two days. At dawn on the third day, tens of thousands of our Huns army marched together, vowing to break the five-car city and capture Yingziyi. ”

After the siege on the fourth day, Touman found all the generals and swore an oath.

On the fifth day, the inner city of the five-car city, the main building of Yingziyi.

"Lord, how is it? How are the acting skills of my black bear brothers these days? Those dogs x Huns, hahaha! The black bear's gruff laughter spread throughout the hall.

Zhang Han, Li Ergou looked at this foodie with a helpless face.

Ying Ziyi smiled, "You guys did a good job." ”

"Then my lord, the lamb skewers that I said were good" The black bear kept his saliva, looked at Yingziyi, and said as if flattering.

"Don't worry, after the Huns are broken, I will let the Huotou battalion in the army roast you for three days and three nights."

"Thank you, Lord." The black bear got Yingziyi's assurance, stood aside with a smile, and said no more.

"Is everything ready?" At this time, Ying Ziyi looked at Li Ergou and asked.

"Childe, it's all ready."

"Break the enemy, tonight." Ying Ziyi's eyes were deep and said.
