The Qin army, which was accompanied by Gou Xiong, arrived and joined forces with Gou Xiong to kill the dozens of iron armor horsemen and capture Zhao Rangan.

Zhao Rangan was forced to fall to his knees.

When the battle was fierce, the hair rope that Gou Xiong used to wrap the braid was broken, and at this time the braid was scattered, and he was wearing a cloak with one hand on his waist, standing in front of Zhao Rangan, with his big waist and round physique, it was really like a wild bear.

He took the bloodstained scarf, leaned over and hit Zhao Rangan's cheek, and said with a cruel smile: "Little thing! Lao Tzu came to beg you, it was to give you face, you didn't honestly tie yourself up to surrender, and dare to resist? How? Watching Lao Tzu fall from a horse, do you think you can catch Lao Tzu? You fuck you! Dot! Have you taken it? ”

Zhao Ran shivered and didn't dare to answer.

Gou Xiong straightened up, looked left and right, and smiled disdainfully: "Is this the warrior of Tiefu?" A son who is three years older than my family is not as good! ”

The people who were high enough to raise their guns and shouted: "General Shenwu!" ”

One of them gave up his mount to Gou Xiong.

Gou Xiong turned over on his horse, took the lance in his hand, pointed at Zhao Rangan with the tip of the lance, and said: "If the king hadn't built a house for your father and son in Xianyang, and ordered me to give birth to you, I would have taken your dog's life today!" "Command, "Take it down!" ”

There were two of them who took Zhao Rangan and retreated to the side.

In front of Gou Xiong and the others, he carried Zhao Rangan's gold-rimmed and silver-inlaid helmet to show the Tiefu cavalry.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Zhao Rangan has been captured, you don't want to descend quickly!" ”

The Tiefu cavalry was in turmoil and lost their fighting spirit.

Gou Xiong gave the order to beat the drums, and three thousand elite horsemen charged. But seeing that under the rising sun, on the grassland, there was a heroic posture of Rong cavalry shouting and shouting, and the Tiefu cavalry was defeated and retreated, and in the end, except for less than a thousand horsemen who were able to escape, the rest either surrendered or were killed.

At the end of the battle, the results were counted and more than 2,000 were captured.

……

In Shuofang County, Zhao Yanli still didn't know about Zhao Rangan's defeat.

He stood on the top of the city, frowning, listening to a young man.

This young man's name is Zhao Xing, and he is the youngest of his sisters-in-law, less than twenty years old this year.

Although Zhao Xing is young, he has already reached a large size, and he is very tall and burly.

Not only is he strong, Zhao Xing's appearance is also good, not like a purebred Huns, with a lot of Xianbei characteristics, the skin is quite white, the nose bridge is high and straight, but according to the customs of the Tiefu Huns, he shaved the top of his head, and the hair on all sides was braided and hung down, in the eyes of the Tang people, his appearance was inevitably rude, but in the eyes of the Tiefu people, it was a dignified appearance.

Today, it has been the third time in a few days that Zhao Xing has admonished Zhao Yanli.

"Father, why do you insist on refusing to allow me to lead troops out of the city to help Lilan?"

Zhao Yanli asked rhetorically: "Why do you want to help him?" ”

"Father, Gou Xiong has the courage of 10,000 people, he is the enemy of Qin, the Qin soldiers led by Meng Lang and Gou Xiong, I have observed the city for many days, and I can see clearly, most of them are armored cavalry, and they are all the elite soldiers of Qin. The Qin army will be brave and strong, and it is very likely that there will be a follow-up supplementary army coming, relying only on the strength of our troops, I am afraid that it will not be its enemy.

The Father will also know this. Therefore, my father invited Tuoba Xianbei and Dingxi to support the two soldiers.

"But what I don't understand is that since we have worked so hard to invite these two reinforcements, why did my father first sit back and watch the defeat of the ambush in the bones, and now ignore the siege of Lilan? Wouldn't this only lead to the waste of our previous efforts and the waste of so much effort to call for reinforcements, causing our side to fall back into the embarrassment of having no help from outside? ”

Zhao Yanli looked scheming and said with a smile: "You, you're still too young." ”

Zhao Xing was puzzled, inexplicable, I don't know where Zhao Yanli came from, and asked, "Father?" ”

Zhao Yanli snorted and said: "You are right, the two support soldiers of Tuoba and Dingxi are indeed invited by me with hard work. Aliluo is not enough, even your younger brother, whom I have always loved, was ruthless and sent to Tuoba Xianbei as a hostage! In addition, a heavy gift was also given to Tuoba and Dingxi. I've invested so much, of course I have to get something back! ”

"What does Father want to get back?"

"Su Gu Wan was defeated by the river, we didn't save it, it seems that we have lost the reinforcements along the way, but if you think about it, Su Gu Wan is a famous general of Tuoba, although he was defeated, if he thinks about the Qin soldiers, can he be unscathed?"

Zhao Xing was thoughtful.

Zhao Yanli continued: "Lilan's reputation is not as good as that of Su Guwan, but he is also the general of Dingxi, known as being able to attack and defend well. I ask you, how sure are you if you were to attack his stronghold? ”

Zhao Xing thought for a while and said, "I attack it with ten times as many soldiers and horses, and I am ten percent sure; Five times as many soldiers and horses will attack it, and there is seventy percent certainty. ”

"There are about 3,000 riders in the Koran Division, and I will give you 15,000 men. How many days can you lay down his stronghold? ”

"If it goes well, five days or so."

"What about your own casualties?"

"The Tang people have many bows and crossbows, and they are good at defending battles, and it is not my fortification to attack fortifications. I attacked them with 15,000 men, and suffered casualties ranging from more than 1,000 to 2,000. ”

"Is it the Qin soldiers who changed the attacking side?"

"The casualties will be smaller, but they won't be much worse."

"Isn't that what it takes? In the same way that although Su Guwan was defeated, the Qin soldiers were also damaged, even if the Qin soldiers' camp was breached, it was expected that the losses of the Qin soldiers would not be in the minority! ”

Zhao Xing probably understood what Zhao Yanli meant, and said, "Father is saying? ”

Zhao Yanli patted her thigh and said, "What I want to get back is the casualties of the Qin soldiers!" Qin soldiers and his two armies have fought fiercely repeatedly, and they have become tired divisions, and there are not many casualties, at that time, we have been recuperating for a long time, and we have poured out of the city, and attacked the tired widow with the elite people, how difficult it is to win! ”

Zhao Yanli's calculation, at least on the surface, seems to make sense.

But for some reason, Zhao Xing's heart was still vaguely worried.

He thought uneasily: "Father's strategy is good, but will Meng Lang and Gou Xiong make Father's wish come true?" ”

Zhao Yanli turned her gaze to the south of the city, and said with a sneer: "Meng Lang Xiao'er, is there no plan to deceive me?" Last time, he fought against Gu Wan and withdrew the Qin soldiers in the north of the city; This time, he fought Lilan and withdrew the Qin soldiers in the south of the city. Hehe, two moves, exactly the same, this Tang Er obviously wants to transfer me out of the city! Knowing that I am strong in the city, it is not easy to attack hard, so I want to defeat me with the wild! Not to mention that Lao Tzu is going to borrow Koji Lan to consume your troops, only your little carving insect skills, Lao Tzu uses old soldiers and fights old battles! How could you be fooled? ”

The next day, the news of Zhao Rangan's defeat and capture reached Shuofang County.

When Zhao Yanli heard the news, she was dumbfounded, and after a while, she scolded bitterly: "In the end, I still fell for Meng Lang's dog!" ”

Two days later, the officers on duty in the city rushed to report: "Looking outside the Qin barracks, the dust is flying, and it seems that reinforcements have arrived!" ”

Thinking of what Zhao Xing said two days ago, "The Qin army will be brave and strong, and it is very likely that there will be follow-up supplementary troops coming", Zhao Yanli became nervous, hurriedly climbed the city tower, and looked carefully.

It is too far away, and I can only see a rough idea, and looking at the scale of its dust, it is roughly estimated that there are no less than 10,000 people.

Zhao Yanli returned to his residence with a heavy heart, summoned Zhao Xing, and discussed with him, wanting to take advantage of the fact that the reinforcements of the Qin army had just arrived and had not yet stabilized, so as to send an envoy to sneak out of the city, contact Lilan, and make an appointment with him again, and send troops together to attack the Qin camp "inside and outside".

The candidates for the envoy have been selected, Zhao Yanli knows that he has a history of not saving Gu Wan, and Lilan probably won't believe him, so he chose Zhu Yuanrong, a monk from Dingxi who volunteered to stay in Shuofang County to promote Buddhism, as this messenger.

The monk of harmony did not object.

It's just that Meng Lang didn't give him this opportunity.

From that day on, the Qin army's siege of Shuofang County became tighter, and it was difficult for birds and birds to get out, and the monks of Yuanrong could not get out at all.

Zhao Yanli guessed that the Qin army might be attacking the city on a large scale? He waited for three days in horror, but he didn't wait for the siege of the Qin soldiers, and this night, like spring thunder, he waited for the mighty water of the Yellow River.

"The water is coming into the city!"

Screams rang out all over the city.

Zhao Yanli hurriedly put on his clothes, ran out barefoot, climbed to a high place, and under the reflection of the moonlight, starlight, and the lights of the city tower and the city, he saw the river flooding the sky, patting the city, pouring into the city, and setting off a monstrous wave.
