Xijon sent troops from the North Ridge, and to reach the place where the Snow Clan lived, not only did he need to march in the snow, but it would take at least three hours in terms of time.

Xipingguan is about forty miles away from Beiling, and the avenue is flat, so Xiao Yuan did not rush to send troops, but only after everything was deployed, did he throw down the military order.

The total strength of the Qin army was more than 60,000, excluding the 20,000 taken away by Zhao Mu, Xiao Yuan immediately led 30,000 troops out of the pass after leaving more than 10,000 soldiers.

This is also the first time in recent years that the Qin army has taken the initiative to meet the enemy and carry out a counteroffensive against Xirong.

The morale of the soldiers below is high.

For a time, the black armor and red tassels were overwhelming, the halberds were numerous, the team was endless, there was no end in sight, and the black flag was fluttering in the wind.

The large-scale siege equipment that Xiao Yuan ordered the Ordnance Division to build came in handy at this time, and the siege vehicles and stone throwers were pushed slowly forward by the soldiers.

In the process of marching, there were even eagles hovering and flying from time to time, and Mu Lianying received the military information, and then handed it over to Xiao Yuan.

It can be said that where Xianda's Xirong army is going now and what the situation is, Xiao Yuan knows all this.

The latter, on the other hand, knew nothing about the Qin army.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and from here, it shows the strength of the Snow Clan's military intelligence.

They are good at tracking, and they can control eagles, and they use this means to transmit information, which is undoubtedly the top existence in the era at that time, and it is no wonder that Mu Lianying dared to say that there is no one in the world before.

As a modern person, Xiao Yuan knows that military intelligence is very important in the event of war.

Thinking of this, he rode his war horse and couldn't help but glance sideways at Mu Lianying.

The latter was also on the war horse, not very far from Xiao Yuan, still dressed in white, with an indifferent face, not knowing what he was thinking.

And outside Beiling, there is naturally a secret post in Xirong, and when Xiao Yuan led the army halfway, the other party naturally discovered this situation, but at this time, if he wanted to notify Xianda, it was obviously too late.

Because in terms of time, the latter is almost arriving in Syracuse.

On a small hillside, two Xirong spies were lying there, not daring to show their heads, watching the Qin army pass under their noses.

Looking at this army with a strong appearance and a long halberd, both of them widened their eyes, and it was not until a long time later that one of them reacted, and couldn't help but say in a trembling voice: "This ...... Is this Qin Jun? ”

"Oh, what now! Judging by their appearance, they must be attacking Northridge......" another human.

"Quick! You go and inform General Xianda, and I'll go and inform the Northridge side......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two Xijon spies also immediately got up, turned around and ran away.

After one of them got down the hill, he mounted his war horse, which was directly pumping the horse's buttocks and galloping away.

He was alone, so it was easy to avoid Xiao Yuan's army and head straight towards the snowy mountain.

However, in the depths of the snowy mountains, he could not go alone, and there was no doubt that this news would never reach Xianda.

In the afternoon of the same day, after more than three hours of marching, Xianda finally led the army to the outside of Syracuse.

Previously, his total strength in Beiling was more than 80,000, but this time his military plan was to destroy the Snow Clan first, and then cross the Snow Mountain with an army of 70,000 to break through Xiping Pass.

After arriving here, it was also directly besieged by a large army.

The siege of 70,000 troops was a very grand scene.

It's just that in the current Snow City, there are no longer only the Snow Clan, but also the 20,000 Qin troops led by Zhao Mu are stationed here.

At first, Xianda didn't know that after the siege, he immediately sent a general, preparing to deter the Snow Clan with a large army for the last time.

As soon as the general received the order, he rode out, pulled the reins under Syracuse, and began to raise his sword and shout:

"Listen, the people of the Snow Clan! Now give you one last chance! If you don't open the city to surrender, when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

As soon as his clamor fell, a black banner had been erected on the city, and there were many halberds, and at the same time, the sound of armor rubbing was everywhere, and many soldiers even raised their bows and arrows, and poked out half of their bodies.

Yes!? Seeing this situation, the general of Xirong was taken aback, this black armor and red tassels, such as the long halberd of the forest, looking at its lineup, where are the people of the Snow Clan, it is clearly the regular army!

Astonished, sharp arrows were already being shot at the city.

Fortunately, the general of Na Xirong had some martial arts, and hurriedly waved his blade to block, and then did not dare to stop shouting, hurriedly turned the horse's head, and rode the horse back to the main formation.

When he came back, he immediately said, "General! Something is wrong! ”

"Huh!?" Xian Da frowned, just now, he naturally saw these situations.

The general explained: "Inside the city...... There seems to be a Qin army in the city, and the general looks at the military flag at the head of the city. ”

The black banner waving in the wind is embroidered with the word 'Qin', and the soldiers on the city defense are all armor.

Seeing this, Xianda's brows furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't help but say, "How can there be a Qin army?" Moreover, Zhao Mu's subordinates are not a group of militiamen wearing cloth clothes and holding hoes! When did the Qin army have such armaments! ”

He couldn't figure it out, but after a pause, he said: "If it's really the Qin army, then it means that the Snow Clan has cooperated with the Qin army, then Beiling ......."

Hearing this, the general's eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly said: "The general is extremely worried!" Our army is almost pouring out, and the North Ridge is empty, if the Qin army takes advantage of the situation to advance......"

"Don't worry about it yet!" Xian Da interrupted him and said in a cold voice: "As long as we destroy the Snow Clan and let it take us across the Snow Mountain, the 70,000 army will enter Xiping Pass, and it will not matter if Beiling is lost!" ”

"But this ......" the general wanted to say something.

Ke Xianda waved his hand unquestionably and ordered: "Siege!" ”

As the military order was issued, the general drew his scimitar and shouted, and the Xirong army also screamed strangely, and frantically rushed towards Snow City.

And this time, Xianda is a ladder with siege cities.

Countless Xirong soldiers gathered together, brandishing scimitars and screaming, and a group of more than a dozen people, carrying a long ladder, desperately charged forward.

At the head of the city, seeing that Xirong had launched an offensive, Zhao Mu's face was calm, and he raised his right hand unhurriedly.

With his movements, rows of Qin troops drew their bows and arrows one after another, filling them up.

After waiting for a certain distance, Zhao Mu immediately waved his hand.

In an instant, arrows rained down, and a miserable howl suddenly rang out.

This is not the sparse and sparse arrows of the people of the Snow Clan before, but after the soldiers in the front row released the arrows, they immediately retreated and alternated with the back row......

The war here has started, Zhao Mu garrisoned the city with 20,000 troops, condescending, Xianda wants to capture it in a short time, it is simply impossible.

At the same time, outside Beiling City, Xiao Yuanye had already approached the city.
