When he saw Jin Xi coming over and giving an order to prepare for war, Xiao Ding knew that the troops of the Great Xia Kingdom were about to attack.

Follow the other soldiers and carry arrows, logs, stones and other military supplies to the city. Xiao Ding saw that the city wall of Dingbian County could not be compared with the city wall of Yongzhou City at all. Not solid at all. It seems a little difficult to defend such a ruined city.

He stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance. The north side of the county seat is a flat river, and there is no cover. This terrain was very suitable for the cavalry of the Hu people.

The infantry against the cavalry had only the share of being charged. There is simply no ability to fight back. Unless they all use bows and arrows, shoot the cavalry before they charge at it.

Jin Xi commanded his subordinates to prepare for the defense of the city, and he even had a few cauldrons placed on the head of the city to boil water, so that when the enemy rushed to the city, he could use boiling water to scald the besieging enemy. It seems that he is also a general with a lot of experience in defending cities.

The side of Dingbian City is ready to defend the city, and the side of Balatian has also hurried towards the side of Dingbian City. Today he also got the news that tens of thousands of reinforcements suddenly came to Dingbian City. Li Daocheng regretted very much that he did not take Dingbian City in advance.

However, the military advisor Mao Yanshun gave him an idea, asking him to divide his troops into two ways, one to attack Dingbian, and the other to occupy Pubian, if Dingbian divided his troops to rescue Pubian, then they would intercept and kill reinforcements on the way, anyway, they Hu people are good at fighting on the plains. If Dingbian doesn't save Pubian, then Pubian's achievements are at your fingertips. After occupying Pubian, you can also turn around and send troops to support the attack on Dingbian.

When Li Daocheng heard this, he said that this idea was good, and praised Mao Yanshun again and again for being a strategist and clever plan, worthy of being the military advisor of the Great Xia Kingdom. So he sent troops down according to Mao Yanshun's strategy.

At dusk, 20,000 horses led by Balatian and Han Qianhu came to the north gate of Dingbian City. They didn't rest, they directly set up a formation and stepped forward to call for battle.

Huang Wenlong and the other officers stood on the city tower and looked down, only to see the Hu people waving their flags, swords and spears, the ranks were neat and uniform, and the morale was magnificent. Sure enough, it's a tiger and wolf army!

Seeing Balatian scolding under the city, Huang Wenlong did not dare to respond. He was worried that if he opened the city gates, the Hu people would rush in.

Balatian scolded under the city for a long time, and when he saw that the side of Dingbian City did not dare to fight, he waved the mace in his hand and shouted: "Give me the siege!" ”

Suddenly, the Hu people shouted and killed in the ranks, and they rushed towards the north gate like wolves and tigers.

"Shoot the arrows!" Huang Wenlong also commanded the soldiers to start attacking.

For a moment, the arrows above the city flew like locusts towards the crowd below. Arrows rained down, and wails everywhere they went.

The Hu people also began to shoot arrows at the city. There were also many casualties on the side of the defenders.

Xiao Ding stood in a corner of the city wall, looked at the scene in front of him, and said in his heart, such a bow and arrow, the speed is still too slow, and the range is not far enough. If you enlarge your own crossbow in equal proportions, it should be much better than the bows and arrows used by soldiers today.

He was originally a member of the cavalry camp, because he had been busy preparing for battle, and was now left on the city wall. Seeing that Hu Ren could shoot arrows at such a high city, he couldn't help but admire Hu Ren's arm strength.

After several rounds of fire, both sides suffered many casualties.

At this time, the infantry of the Hu people suddenly took out their shields and lined up in a wall of shields to cover the advance of the soldiers behind.

As soon as Huang Wenlong saw that the bow and arrow could not be killed, he waved his hand and stopped the archer. Then he commanded: "Prepare to roll logs, and when they are near the city, hit them with logs and stones." ”

In a few moments, the shield-bearers had come to the city with the soldiers behind them, some of them carrying ladders to the city walls, and some of them carrying wooden poles to the city gates.

Huang Wenlong shouted: "Release!" ”

The soldiers of the city began to throw stones and logs downward. Suddenly there was another wail under the city.

For the Hu people, what they don't like the most is siege warfare. Every time they attack the city, they suffer a big loss. It is not uncommon to lose tens of thousands of troops to capture a city.

The Hu people are sparsely populated, and the population is also an important resource for them. Every year, they go to the vicinity of the border to fight the autumn wind, and sometimes they also plunder the population.

Bala Tianbian commanded the siege of the city, and while thinking, Waniba and Fang Qiupi's team did not know whether they had captured Pubian City. Why haven't you come to support you yet?

Huang Wenlong was also worried about Pubian City at this time, I don't know if Wei Dutong has arrived in time, the Hu people are so fierce, I don't know if Wei Dutong can help defend Pubian City.

While he was thinking about it, he saw a scout walk up to the city, bent down and saluted: "Lord Qiqi, Wei Dutong has just sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that they were attacked by the Hu people on the way, and now the army is trapped and waiting for rescue. ”

When Huang Wenlong heard this, he almost fainted.

That's 20,000 troops, how could they suddenly be attacked? It's still trapped, and if you lose these troops, it will be a very serious loss for your side!

He forced himself to compose, and then asked, "Where is Wei Dutong now?" ”

"A position about thirty miles northeast of Dingbian City." The scout replied.

"Okay, got it." Huang Wenlong waved his hand to signal the scout to go down first, and then shouted, "Where is Jin Dutong?" ”

"The subordinates are here!" Jin Xi hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"I will send you to gather 5,000 cavalry and rush to about thirty miles northeast of Dingbian City to rescue Wei Dutong. and assisted him in rushing to Pubian City to guard Pubian. Huang Wenlong gave the order.

"Yes, my subordinates have orders!" Jin Xi led his subordinates to turn around and go down to the city.

At this time, Xiao Ding saw clearly that this Huang Wenlong was the officer who named him to come to the front line on the day of the report!

I didn't pay attention to it before, but I can see it clearly now.

Xiao Ding followed Jin Xi down the city wall, and Jin Xi ordered 5,000 cavalry and led the team to sneak out of the city from the east gate. Ding and his five roommates are also part of the rescue team, and Ding overhears the scout's conversation with Huang Wenlong in the city, so he knows the purpose of the trip.

This time it was different from the previous battle to defend the city, but this time it was a real fight on the front line before the war. Whether or not you can come back alive depends on your own creation.

On the way, Xiao Ding couldn't help but secretly curse that Wei Dutong stupid, leading 20,000 people to be ambushed by the Hu people, and he was trapped by the Hu people. It's really useless.

Thirty miles was not far for the cavalry, and it didn't take long for them to arrive.

Xiao Ding saw that on the opposite side, there was a sea of people, and the flags of the Hu people were fluttering everywhere, indeed forming a large encirclement, and he was driving his horse towards the encirclement.

"Brothers, let's rush over and kill me!" Jin Xi waved the big knife in his hand and commanded.

"Rush, kill!" The cavalry led by Jin Xi rushed towards the encirclement of the Hu people as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
