The siege of Xiangwu County by the Qin soldiers began ten days earlier.

When Koji Qiu learned that there were also a large number of Qin soldiers stationed in Tianshui County, and its main general was Meng Lang, and after receiving the report that the Qin army in the direction of Tianshui County launched a tentative attack on Longxi County, Koji Qiu immediately realized that Pu Qin's attack on Longxi County this time must be a thunderous thunderbolt.

He immediately made a decision, while anxiously calling for Guyin, giving this military situation, asking for reinforcements, and sending orders to Wudu and Yinping, and at the same time ordering several counties of Longxi County, ordering the local defenders to withdraw to Xiangwu, in order to shrink the troops and stick to Xiangwu County, so as to be able to wait for the support of Guyin's soldiers and horses to arrive.

However, the military order for Kojiqiu was still issued too late.

Meng Lang not only did a good job of secrecy work such as troop mobilization and deployment before the war, but also was well versed in the principle of the speed of the soldiers, and if he did not fight, he was ready, and the soldiers and horses were all together, once the war began, it was really moved above the nine heavens, and the invasion was like fire, and after making two attempts to figure out the strength of the defending forces in the eastern counties of Xiangwu, he launched an attack on the same day, and in less than two days, he captured all the eastern counties.

None of the guards in the eastern counties could withdraw to Xiangwu County.

Immediately, he led his division straight forward, and captured the former army general Shi Shou, Beizhong Lang general Zhao Xing, and Ningyuan general Shi Junnu in the eastern counties of Xiangwu, and the Yangong Pu Badger Sun from the Menglang Zhong Army, Yongzhou Thorn Shi Putong, the right army general Tonghuliang, and the Guangwu general Lei Xiaofang and other units, gathered under Xiangwu City overnight.

At night, the sight was unclear, although the defenders at the head of the city heard and vaguely saw that there were Qin troops coming outside the city, but they did not know how many came, and until the next morning, they looked out, only to realize that the distance outside the city was already an enemy territory.

I saw that in the thin light of the morning light, the banners of the Qin army were like forests, the soldiers and horses were like the sea, and the sound of drums and horns came and went, like the roar of tigers and wolves in the mountains and seas; The arrogant Qin army's armored cavalry galloped close to the trench, and when the city was targeted, it laughed and turned back, like an eagle falcon teasing its prey.

The county seat of Xiangwu was surrounded by them in three layers inside and three times outside.

Under the powerful, sudden shock, every guard was stunned.

Bing Bo, who was on duty at the head of the city at the head of the city, was stunned and hurriedly reported the koji ball. He was frightened and panicked, and he reported it, and he was very angry. He said, "Lang Jun, Qin Bing is already here!" surrounded our Xiangwu and couldn't get through. At least twenty or thirty thousand! Damn, silently, so many soldiers came in one night! Meng Lang this, this, this dog's day, what a god! ”

Bing Bofei was born in the scholar clan and his cultural level was not high, so he was greatly shocked, but he somehow remembered the sentence "what a god" that he had seen from nowhere, and at the end of the words, this sentence popped up, which did not match the words in front of him.

I don't blame him for such gaffes.

Meng Lang's use of troops was too sick, and the defenders of the counties east of Xiangwu failed to withdraw to Xiangwu County in time according to the deployment of Kojiqiu, which caused the current garrison of Xiangwu County to only have 2,000. At present, there are 20,000 or 30,000 Qin soldiers besieging the city. The disparity is too great.

Koji has been up for a long time, embroidering clothes with a scarf, and practicing grabbing a lance in the courtyard.

Listening to what Bing Bo said, Koji Qiu didn't respond, unhurried, and motioned to the two brave soldiers who were sparring to continue.

The two pro-soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, came to stab with their spears.

The koji ball waited for the two lances to be crossed, turned to the left side, avoided the left lance, grabbed the junction between the lance and the lance handle, turned with his right foot, followed the force of the lance forward stab, added a lot of strength, pulled it out of the hand of the soldier on the left, and threw it to the ground; Then, the center of gravity of the body fell on the left foot, leaned sideways, and avoided the lance that pierced from the right, and grabbed the handle of the lance with his right hand, and with the same force, he also snatched the lance.

This whole process, to say a long story, is actually a blink of an eye.

The movements of the koji ball are very fast.

Rao is Bing Bo was restless, and he couldn't help but cheer.

Koji bent down and picked up two long lances, threw them back to the two pro-soldiers, and said with a smile: "You two have to practice again, the long five big and three thick, the lance is stabbed out, soft and not collapsed, not even a woman!" How can you say that you are Lao Tzu's personal soldier when you go out? ”

The two pro-soldiers laughed and replied, "Yes." ”

"Next time, I will look for you two to win the lance, who can catch the lance tightly, if it is not taken by me, the gold medal will be awarded!"

The gold medal is a plaque, which can be hung on the belt, which is a thing of the Hu people. Nowadays, Hu Feng is dyed in the north, and there are many Tang people who bring this thing. In order to encourage and reward the warriors, Kojiqiu paid for it and created some gold medals, and all the brave and loyal people in his department were given more gold medals than he gave them, and those who received them were all proud. - It's not a question of how much a gold medal is worth, it's a question of honor.

Therefore, when the two pro-soldiers heard this, they were all excited, and they both said: "Next time, it will definitely not be taken away by Lang Jun!" ”

Koji Qiu asked the maid to take a soft towel and wipe off the sweat, and then smiled and said to Bing Bo: "Has Qin Yu arrived?" Let's go, let's see. ”

Out of the yard, the soldiers brought his beloved horse to Kojiqiu, but Koji Qiu refused to ride and ordered the car to be prepared.

Bing Bo said: "Lang Jun, the ox cart is too slow!" ”

"It's better to be slow."

"What do you mean by that?"

Koji Qiu first said jokingly: "Lao Bing, you are the number one warrior under my account, and a little Qin Yu will scare you into a rabbit." Then he said with a slight uprightness, "The people of the city and the soldiers at the head of the city are not as brave as you, and I think that they must be even more afraid than you now. Yes, slow is better, and the slower the better. ”

Bing Bo's yellow face turned red and said, "How can the last general be afraid of him Qin Yu!" It's just, it's just that there are too many of them. ”

"Qing, there are wolves under my account, no matter how many sheep there are, how can you be like one of the wolves?"

Bing Bo was not only affected by Kojiqiu's calm attitude, but also because of the encouragement of Kojiqiu's words, his panic gradually dissipated, and he said heroically: "I'm afraid that Qin Yu won't dare to attack the city today, if he dares to attack, he will end up cutting off Lang Jun's sheep's head!" ”

Kojiqiu laughed.

The soldiers drove the ox cart over, and the koji ball called to dismantle the carriage, and when the dismantling was completed, he got into the car, and then he was dressed in a home robe, supported his head with his hands, and stretched out and half bed leisurely. Bing Bo was dressed in armor, holding a lance and leading a horse, and three or five personal soldiers followed the car.

The sun rises in the east and the sun is clear.

There are rows of roadside trees on both sides of the dirt road, and although there are not many young leaves on the branches, the branches are green and green, and they are much softer than in the late winter of two months ago. There are the branches of fruit trees that peek out from the walls of the middle houses along the way, and they are decorated with some budding buds, which add a bit of vigor to this mid-spring morning.

Some of the people know that the Qin army is besieging the city, the timid, closed doors, there are high-rise buildings at home, they go upstairs and look out of the city, and the bold ones go out inside and outside, gather in four or five clusters, and exchange gossip with each other.

Those who were looking at the building and gathering to communicate with each other saw a group of people such as Koji Qiu and Bing Bo walking east along the street.

They all recognized that the man in the car was Kojiqiu, and when they saw him like this, they all stared at him with wide eyes.

When passing by the crowd on the road, under the orders of Koji Qiu, Bing Bo deliberately amplified his voice and said, "Lang Jun, Gu Yin's reinforcements will arrive in three or four days, right?" The last general heard that the lieutenant personally brought troops to help, and there were 70,000 or 80,000 people! Oh, if the Qin Lu outside doesn't hurry up, he will be attacked by Lang Jun and the lieutenant inside and outside, and he will be beaten by it! ”

Kojiqiu smiled but did not speak.

When the people on the street heard Bing Bo's words, they immediately thought that they understood why the koji ball was so calm, and their panic and fear were temporarily appeased because of this, although after the ox cart of the koji ball passed, the gathered crowd still did not disperse, but what they were discussing was not the topic just now, but when the reinforcements from Guyin would arrive, and when the "Qin Yu" would be defeated.

No matter how calm the external performance is, with 2,000 guards, against 20,000 or 30,000 enemy troops, it is obviously impossible to say that there is no pressure in the heart of Kojiqiu.

Especially after going up to the city and seeing the huge momentum of the Qin soldiers outside Xiangwu, the pressure on Koji Qiu became more and more great.

But he is the chief general of the first army, no matter how much pressure he has, he has to bear it himself, and he must not show anything.

There was no ox cart on the castle tower, and the koji ball sat on his shoulders and circled the city wall.

While observing the situation of the enemy troops outside the four city walls, estimating the number of soldiers and horses, and identifying the generals and colonels of the enemy's various divisions through the enemy's colorful flags, he stopped from time to time to chat and laugh with the guards on each city wall.

Kojiqiu is strict but not complicated, has no shelves, does not hesitate to reward, is already loved by the soldiers, and he is so behaving with a smile and a smile, and it seems to affect Bing Bo, and it also affects these soldiers.

Therefore, despite the pressure of the strong enemy, the morale of the army was quickly stabilized.

The people's hearts have been reassured, and the army's morale has also been stable.

Kojiqiu gave orders one after another to make arrangements for defending the city.

He first ordered the selection of 50 soldiers, attached to the officials of the county government and the county government, and handed them over to the magistrate of Xiangwu County, who was ordered to be responsible for the security of the city, and ordered him to transfer the people to organize logistics and help the battle team to assist in the upcoming battle to defend the city.

Then, according to the situation of the Qin army seen during the city patrol, Koji Qiu guarded the various sections of the city wall and acted as a reserve team, and other combat tasks were implemented one by one to the generals and colonels under the accounts of Bing Bo, Qu Nanhu, and Qu Nan Jianri.

The north of Xiangwu County is not far from Weishui, and Meng Lang has the least number of troops here, probably only more than 2,000 people, most of whom are cavalry.

This section of the city wall can not be guarded by key points, and Kojiqiu transferred 200 soldiers and 300 people to guard it.

Looking at the banner of the Qin army, the Qin army troops in the west of the city are mainly the Ningyuan general Shi Junnu of Pu Qin, relative to the south and east, the number of Qin troops here is also small, about 4,000 people.

Shi Junnu is quite brave, but among Pu Qin's famous generals, he is not a general.

This section of the city wall does not need to focus on defense, and Kojiqiu transferred 300 soldiers and 500 people to defend it.

The Qin troops in the south of the city consisted of the troops of Pu Qin's Yan Gong Pu Badger Sun and Tie Fu Da and Beizhong Lang General Zhao Xing, about seven or eight thousand people.

Pu badger Sun long stationed in Tianshui County, its troops often and Longxi Dingxi garrison friction, small battles continued, last year he also joined forces with Pu Luo, a large invasion of Longxi County, large and small, and koji ball has been more than ten times, is the koji ball old acquaintance, old opponent.

Koji Qiu knows him quite well, knowing that this person once pretended to give up the throne to him after Pu Mao killed Pu Changsheng, so in order to avoid suspicion, he has always been cautious and never made a rafter for the head.

As for Zhao Xing, he is the son of Zhao Yanli, his father was forced to death by Lu Ming and Ji He, although he led his troops to surrender again, he was not killed by Pu Mao, but he also got a Pu clan daughter as his wife, but the revenge of killing his father is so easy to let go? It is estimated that even if he does not dare to slack off passively, he will definitely not fight hard for Meng Lang, at most he will be forced to fight.

For the sake of comprehensiveness, the defense of the south of the city does not need to be taken very seriously, but because there are more Qin soldiers in the south of the city than in the north and west, it cannot be taken lightly.

The Qin troops in the east of the city were the main force of Pu Qin.

Meng Lang's handsome banner is here, and the banners of many Pu Qin generals such as Yongzhou Assassin Shi Putong, former army general Shi Shou, right army general Tonghuliang, Guangwu general Lei Xiaofang and many other Pu Qin generals are also here, and there are 14,500 Qin soldiers in the south of the city.

There are still 1,000 troops available in Kojiqiu, and he personally led 800 people, plus more than 1,000 people, and guarded the east city wall with Qu Nan Jianri and other generals. The rest of the soldiers were two hundred, half of each of the infantry and horses, and they were sown for Bing to be used as a reserve and a strong attack team.

The arrangements and deployments were made according to the different situations of the Qin army outside the city, and they were indeed well organized.

The magistrate of Xiangwu County, Qu Nanhu, Qu Nanjianri, Bing Bo and other civil and military subordinates, as well as the military officials and soldiers of various ministries, each received their own tasks, they all had things to do, and their emotions were even more stable.

……

There was no battle that day, and the Qin soldiers concentrated their forces and stepped up the construction of fortifications.

Bing Bo suggested that it is better to take advantage of this.

Defend the city, called "defending", but blindly guarding, one, has been passively beaten, morale will be low, second, the enemy has all kinds of siege equipment, catapults and so on day by day, crashing into the city car every day and constantly bumping, time is long, no matter how strong the fortress can not withstand, in the end, the city eighty percent can not be defended, so, the strategy of defending the city, must have both offense and defense.

Bingbo's suggestion, from a common sense point of view, can be adopted.

However, considering that Meng Lang was famous, he would not have imagined that his army might take advantage of his camp to go out of the city to raid, and judged that Meng Lang would definitely have ambush soldiers waiting for him to attack; And he also considered that the enemy's soldiers and horses were more than ten times their own, that is, the troops attacking their own army could win a small victory, and it would be difficult to deal a blow to the morale of the Qin army.

For two days in a row, the Qin soldiers only built the camp, and on the third day, the camp was built.

On this morning, the Qin soldiers launched their first attack on Xiangwu County.

Nearly 100 catapults, concentrated in the east and south of the city, threw stone balls to the city for two hours.

The stone balls were only roughly rounded, with still sharp edges and corners, whistling with the wind, flying over the moat in dozens and hundreds of places, heading straight for the city.

One dial, another dial.

Some did not hit the walls, some smashed into the city, and more stone balls hit the walls and the city.

The walls were knocked out of potholes. The huts built at the top of the city for the soldiers to rest at night and for the wounded to be temporarily treated were beaten by stone balls. Looking back at the city, the houses near the east and south of the city were also smashed by stone balls.

Qu Nanhu, Qu Nanjian and other generals and colonels issued orders one after another, ordering the soldiers and people to hide under the battlements outside to avoid the stone balls. Several county officials of the Longxi County Government led some of the people who had been recruited the day before, including sturdy women, to the smashed alley houses, trying to find the survivors, but only the bloody corpses of men, women, old and weak were found.

Kojiqiu didn't have time to pay too much attention to the miserable situation of the people in the city.

The catapults outside the city stopped one after another.

In the west of the city, in the south of the city, and in the east of the city, during the time when the catapult threw stones, there were Qin soldiers out of the camp and lined up, and they were already lined up at this time.

In the Qin array on three sides, a dull drum sound was heard throughout. Each had several flags in the lead, and a group of Qin soldiers followed behind the banners with dustpan-shaped sheltering equipment, pushing carts and heading towards the moat. In the car, bags of dirt were loaded.

Qu Nanhu, Qu Nanjian and other defending generals hurriedly urged the soldiers to get up, and ordered the crossbowmen to lie down at the battlement, ready to shoot.

The moat is not close to the city wall, and ordinary weak bows can't shoot it, but strong bows and crossbows can shoot it.

Keeping a close eye on the Qin soldiers heading towards the moat, Qu Nan saw that the sun was far and near, and he was already in range, he first ordered the crossbowmen in the east of the city to shoot arrows at the same time; The crossbowmen in the west and south of the city, at about the same time, only a little later than the east of the city, also fired with bows and crossbows. For a while, arrows rained down. However, the Qin soldiers who filled the river had defensive measures, but they could not stop it.

Kojiqiu looked at the Qin soldiers who were filling the river in the east of the city for a moment, and asked, "Where is the friend?" ”

Friendship is the word of Bingbo.

Bing Bo arrived and responded: "The end will be!" ”

"You led a hundred horsemen out of the city and burned half of Qin Yu's boat with a rocket!"

The half-cut boat is another name for the dustpan-shaped instrument.

Bing Bo received the order, went to the city, led the hundred horsemen in the reserve, opened the city gate, galloped to the west bank of the moat, lit the arrows, ran along the river, and shot at the Qin soldiers on the opposite bank.

The officers of the Qin soldiers organized archers and shot at them.

From the city, they have a few horsemen, compared to the thousands of Qin soldiers on the other side, they are really like a wave in the ocean, and after a while, they can only retreat under the rain of arrows of the Qin soldiers.

However, although they retreated, many of the dustpans held by the Qin soldiers had been ignited by rockets. The fire rose up, and puffs of black smoke came out, and Qin Bing hurriedly threw away the burning dustpan. Without the protection of the dustpan, the arrows on the city were shot, and more than ten Qin soldiers were immediately shot.

The soldiers at the head of the city shouted for joy.

The cheers did not last long, and the Qin soldiers, who had no dustpans, carried their casualties and returned with their comrades, and came up with a cart with a dustpan.

The Qin soldiers' action to fill the river was only delayed for a while by Bing Bo.

The guards watched as they went down, and that team came up, methodically, poured cartloads of dirt into the river. During this period, Bing Bo led the team out to harass twice, which was insignificant to Qin Bing.

By evening, the moats on the east, south, and west sides of the city were filled in by the Qin soldiers.

is a pawn in the defenders, and at this time, he can also think that tomorrow, there will definitely be a large-scale siege of the Qin army.

However, the next day, the Qin army did not attack the city.

When they had set up camp two days before, they had dug a deep trench outside the camp, and a third of the earth had been dug up and used to fill the moat, and two-thirds remained. On this day, the Qin army on the east and south sides of the city, except for throwing stone balls for two more hours, spent the rest of their time on the position of the adjacent moat, using the remaining soil to build a fortified mountain.

If it is said that at the moment when he first heard that the Qin soldiers had arrived, Koji Qiu still had a certain certainty of defending the city, then, after noticing the day before yesterday that the Qin soldiers were not only building camps, but also digging deep trenches outside, and seeing the Qin soldiers not attacking the city, but instead building a mountain, the two observed phenomena combined, and Koji Qiu felt that he had less certainty, and his heart slowly sank.

Thinking that the Qin soldiers already had an absolute advantage in terms of troops, but when building the camp, they also spent time and effort digging trenches, which shows Meng Lang's caution; Now that the moat has been filled out, no matter what you think, Meng Lang should also launch an attack, but he has gone to build a mountain of earth, which shows that he is not fully prepared and will never waste the stability of the battle.

The strength is already absolutely superior, and the main general is cautious and steady, how can such a strong enemy be repelled?

Koji Qiu looked at the east and south of the city, like ants, the soldiers and men of the Qin army who were busy piling up dirt and mountains, their faces remained unchanged, and they groaned in their hearts, thinking: "If you want to protect Xiangwu, you will not be able to rely on the defense in my city alone, and I hope that the reinforcements can arrive early!" ”

Knowing that he is the main general, every move is eye-catching, and a casual small action may cause the collapse of the army's morale, because he is strong and restrained, not looking at the direction where Gu Yin is located in the northwest, smiling and stroking his beard, and saying that he meets Qu Nan and other generals and military officials, "The food in the Qin Yu army seems to be good." ”

Qu Nan couldn't understand what he meant.

Qu Nan saw the sun and asked, "Lang Jun, what are you talking about?" ”

"Yesterday I pulled soil to fill my moat, and today I transported soil to pile mountains by my river, and the food was not good, where did I get such physical strength? It's so energetic, it's much better than our servants! ”

It is a word of contempt to compare his soldiers with the men of his own army.

Qu Nan laughed when he saw the sun, and the heavy atmosphere was slightly relaxed.

The earth mountain built by the Qin army was built in one day.

The mountain is higher than the city, and the top of the mountain is a wide flat land.

The crossbowmen and archers of the Qin army climbed to the top, lined up in formation, and condescendingly overlooked the head of Xiangwu City in the moat.

Koji Qiu was not idle, and when the Qin army was building a mountain, he also gathered the people and built a platform on the city tower. The east city wall and the south city wall were each built two. The height of the tower exceeds the height of the earth mountain. The selected good archers, like the crossbowmen of the Qin army, entered the defense platform, corresponding to the archers of the Qin army on the earth mountain. Because the tower is higher, the defending archers are more close to the Qin archers.

……

Spent the night.

On the fifth day of the siege of the Qin army, Meng Lang finally launched the second and first official attack on the county seat of Xiangwu.

In addition to the north of the city, the Qin army took advantage of its large number of troops and launched an offensive in the east, south and west of the city at the same time.

Not long after the battle began, Koji Qiu keenly realized that the east of the city, which had the most soldiers and horses of the Qin army, was the least violent side of the offensive, but the offensive in the south and west of the city was as fierce as a wave from the first fight.

The Qin soldiers in the south of the city started in the morning to prepare for the siege.

The moat in the south of the city was filled in by the Qin soldiers in the south of the city A total of four passages were filled, each passage could accommodate more than ten people walking side by side.

The Qin soldiers came out of the camp in a row, divided into two parts, a small and a large, and lined up between the camp and the moat.

The soldiers who were in front of the formation, and the troops that are besieging the city today are all foot soldiers, and their numbers are small.

It formed a phalanx of 200 people, with 10 men in horizontal rows and 20 rows vertically. A total of sixteen phalanxes were formed. Each phalanx was equipped with ladders, hitchhikers, half-boats and other offensive equipment. There was a phalanx with two crash cars that hit the city gates.

Driven by the sound of drums, the sixteen phalanxes divided into four groups and arrived at the southern end of the four passages on the moat in the south of the city.

Behind these sixteen phalanxes is the main formation of the Qin army in the south of the city, which is more numerous, with both foot and horse.

There were about 4,000 foot soldiers and nearly 1,000 cavalry.

After the current array was formed and marched to the south bank of the moat, it didn't take long for the main formation to be lined up.

The infantry in the main formation was directly behind the sixteen phalanxes, and the cavalry was scattered on the two flanks of the infantry formation.

The general flag of Pu Badger Sun, the commander of the Qin army in the south of the city, was erected in the middle of the main array, and around the general flag, there were all kinds of command flags flying high.

A black flag waved left and right several times.

Then two hundred Qin soldiers armed with melee weapons such as swords and shields and long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows came out of the main formation, divided into four teams, each team of fifty people, under the leadership of four officers, respectively advanced to the end of the sixteen phalanxes and stood still, and also formed a formation.

Needless to say, these officers and soldiers were the overseers who supervised the battle of the sixteen phalanx soldiers, and they were all strong men.

Qu Nanhu, who was guarding the south of the city, put his hands on the pergola, squinting his eyes and looking at the sixteen phalanxes of the Qin army.

He saw that most of the Qin soldiers in these sixteen phalanxes were not wearing armor, and few of them were even white in color,—— Pu Qin regarded gold as virtue and was still white, so all the uniforms issued by the state to the soldiers were white, and the uniforms were not uniform, and the ordnance they held was not very sophisticated, and their hairstyles, all of which were braided, were completely different from the Rong people's hair and braids.

Qu Nanhu immediately understood that these sixteen squares, with a total of 3,200 Qin soldiers, must be the troops of Pu Qin Tiefu and Beizhong Lang Zhao Xing, in other words, they are all Tiefu Huns.

"Old thief Meng Lang, this is trying to use Tiefu to consume us!" Qu Nanhu scolded and scolded Meng Lang a few words, but he relaxed a lot, compared to Pu Qin's elite, Tiefu Huns, a miscellaneous card that was not trusted by Pu Qin, was much easier to deal with.

The siege troops and the warlords are all in place.

The drums of the main formation of the Qin army in the south of the city stopped for the time being. Nearly 10,000 Qin army infantry and cavalry maintained a formation in front and rear, and they were arranged without a sound. The wind swept through it, and the rustling of hundreds of flags was clearly audible. The sound of the banner set off the silence of the Qin army's formation. The silence gradually became dull, and then, an irrepressible depression shrouded the city head in the south of Xiangwu City.

Qu Nanhu pressed his fingers uneasily, and said in his heart: "What kind of fame?" ”

In the west of the city, which Qu Nanhu could not see, the troops of Shi Junnu, the general of Ningyuan of the Qin army, were also in array.

Shi Junnu's soldiers and horses are not as many as Pu Badger Sun, it is said that the formation should be faster than Pu Badger Sun, but in his heart he is really full of resistance to follow Meng Lang to attack Longxi County,—— he is Pu Changsheng's henchman, Pu Mao killed the king and usurped the throne to the present, he is always thinking about avenging Pu Changsheng, last year's Pu Qin's Pu Ying Rebellion, and Pu Ying colluded with Pu Ying, he was one of the ministers, but Pu Ying had not yet started an incident, he was captured, he had to continue to endure, but patience is one thing, and being forced to take the headquarters to Pu Mao is another thing, yes, His pre-war preparations today were inevitably grinding, but the battle formation was slower than that of Pu Badger Sun Lie.

No matter how slow it is, there are times when it is listed.

Qin Cheng in the west of the city, and Shi Junnu sent officials to report to Meng Lang in the east of the city.

The east of the city was the main force of the Qin army, and there were more soldiers of the Qin army participating in the formation than in the south of the city, but the time for forming the formation was about the same as that in the south of the city. Meng Lang received Shi Junnu's report, and looked at the huge sundial on the side, the time taken by Shi Junnu to line up was more than two quarters of an hour longer than that of the east and south of the city, but it did not exceed the time limit he had set, so he did not attack, and quietly gave the order: "Siege!" ”

Stirring drums resounded in the east of the city.

Spread to the south of the city.

The drums beat loudly in the south of the city.

The drums of the east and south of the city spread to the west of the city.

Drums also beat in the west of the city.

The Qin cavalry in the north of the city heard the sound of drums on three sides, galloped their horses and raised their lances, and ran outside the moat, shouting and shouting. Outside the city on three sides, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers who participated in today's first offensive raised their shields, pushed ladders, hitchhikers, crashed cars, etc., shouting, almost at the same time, crossed the moat on three sides, like a surging wave, slapping towards the dark Xiangwu City.

The dullness of the south of the city was broken.

Four groups and sixteen phalanxes of Tiefu warriors, the first four phalanxes took the lead in crossing the river, and rushed to the city with half a boat and a shield as the guard.

Outside the moat, the Qin soldiers and crossbowmen on the earth mountain fired in unison, suppressing the city head and covering the charge of the Tiefu warriors.

Qu Nanhu ordered that the shooters on the city and the high-rise buildings, the low-rise shoots the earth mountain, and the head of the city shoots the city, and the bows and crossbows are also fired.

Some of the Tiefu warriors were exposed outside the half-cut boats or shields on the way to sprint, and the number of those half-cut boats and shields was limited, which was not enough to protect all the people, and that thing could not stop the strong crossbows, and one after another the Tiefu warriors fell to the ground with arrows.

The guards and men of the city were also wounded by arrows.

The four phalanxes of the second row of the Tiefu Huns, following closely behind the phalanx of the first row, also crossed the river and joined the charge. In the third and fourth rows, under the urging of the non-stop drums and the fierce drive of the warlords, 3,200 Tiefu soldiers all crossed the river.

The increase in the number of siege soldiers reduced the proportion of casualties, and after paying the price of nearly 100 casualties, the first ladder was mounted on the city.

The guards unleashed the sassalwood downwards and smashed several of the Iron Warriors who were climbing.

Seven or eight brave men braved the arrows from the dirt mountain, carried buckets, and poured stone grease on the ladder. One man lit a torch and threw it on the grease, and the flames flared. Wherever the grease flows, the fire burns with it.

Puqin's ladder is mostly made of fir wood, Masson pine and other wood, the ignition point of fir and Masson pine is high, the burning rate is low, and it is generally not easy to burn.

But the stone grease thing, no matter whether you light it or not, it can burn by itself, and the fire that burns can't be extinguished by water.

The Tiefu soldiers had no choice but to abandon the ladder.

The main formation of the Qin soldiers on the south side of the moat changed the rhythm of the drums.

The Tiefu officers under the city turned their heads to look at the order flag in the array.

In accordance with the orders conveyed by the sound of drums and banners, they adjusted the pace of the attack, and the ladders, hitchhikers, and crashes were suspended, and about 1,000 Tiefu archers were organized and shot on their backs on the city.

The earth mountain shoots down, and Tiefu shoots up.

The guards and men at the head of the city were so pressed that they could not raise their heads, and despite the best efforts of the archers on the tall buildings and the shields to cover them, people were constantly being hit by arrows.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tiefu warriors pushed the ladder and the hitchhiker to the city wall.

The wood used in the previous burning ladder was non-flammable, and the fire slowly extinguished after the stone grease was burned. When the Tiefer soldier found that the ladder was still usable, he used it as well.

More than a dozen ladders fill the southern city wall of Xiangwu.

The soldiers of the Tiefu Huns competed to climb for help.

Under the rain of arrows, the guards brought the sassal wood, rolled down the ladder, took the molten iron from the furnace, and poured it downward.

The soldiers of Tiefu who climbed the city were either smashed by the sassags or scalded by molten iron, and the screams were endless.

At this time, if you look from the south side of the moat, you can see that the Tiefu warriors who look like ants climbing the wall fall one after another.

In the main formation of the Qin army in the south of the city, beside Pu Badger Sun, stood a young man who was less than twenty years old.

There was no expression on his face, but blood was dripping from his heart.

This young man is Zhao Xing. The soldiers who were forced to attack the city and consume the guards were all his clansmen, but they were all his subordinates, but they were all his capital, but they were all the capital that he saved and grabbed in the current troubled times!

Pu Badger Sun didn't care about Zhao Xing at all, and his attention was all under the city.

He was engrossed in the battle, catching a glimpse of the crash and being pushed to the city gates.

But the car only hit the city gate twice, Pu Badger Sun saw that a guard wearing heavy armor took more than a dozen soldiers and people, carrying an iron crash wood to the position of the city gate.

Iron striking wood is a kind of siege equipment that is used to control the upper and lower parts of the city with a bracket and a wooden head suspended from the top of the iron head, and is specially used to combat the siege equipment such as crash cars and wooden donkeys.

Pu Badger Sun knew that the crashed car could not be saved, so he looked away, still looking at the Tiefu soldiers who went to climb the city.

The guard who appeared on the city gate was Qu Nanhu.

Qu Nanhu twisted the chain with his own hands, released the iron into the wood, and fell straight to the crashing car below. The crash car was covered with iron sheets, but the iron crash was also an iron head, and under the impact force, the crash car was smashed. The people threw the pheasant torch and set the crashing car on fire.

Some of the Tiefu soldiers under the crash were stoned to death under the car, and some fled in a hurry.

You come and go, and the fierce fighting in the city and under the city continues.

The first round of the offensive came to a halt an hour later.

Tiefer's warriors retreated slightly and rested for half an hour, and then the same scene appeared, and the second round of the offensive began.

From morning to night, all day, the three-sided offensive of the Qin soldiers was not broken.

After nightfall, the Qin army's position lit torches, reflecting the outside of the city as if it were day, and it was even a night attack.

The 3,200 Tiefu soldiers in the south of the city took turns to fight, fought hard for a day, hardly stopped, both exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, but more than 100 soldiers, despite the urging of the drums that killed them, turned around and ran back, trying to evacuate the battlefield, but at the southern end of the four passages of the moat, they were shot dead by the Qin soldiers who supervised the battle. The remnant fell to their knees, begging to be spared, but only arrows answered them.

Zhao Xing in the main formation closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it.

Fight until midnight.

Pu Badger Sun finally withdrew his troops and stopped today's offensive.

……

The sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth days, until the tenth day, that is, the day when Xin Er received the report from Cao Fei and Tian Jujun, that is, the koji ball stood in the city tower, looking around, and the crowd outside the city was full of people, all of whom were Qin soldiers.

The onslaught continued for five days, and every day it was until the second half of the night.

Moreover, on the sixth day, Nan'an County, on the north bank of Weishui, came out with a force under the banner of Puluo Gu, forcibly crossed Weishui, and also listed the offensive formation in the north of the city. However, probably because the area north of the city was not open enough, this force was only a gesture and did not participate in the siege battle in the next few days. But even so, it also caused a lot of pressure on the guards.

Checking the casualties of the Qin army, the casualties of the Tiefu soldiers were the largest, more than 1,000 people, the Shijun Nu tribe suffered seven or eight hundred casualties, and the eastern part of the city, which had not been attacked in a big way, also suffered hundreds of losses. After looking at the latest casualties of the various departments summarized by the main book to the red axe, Meng Lang put down the thin piece of paper, let out a sigh softly, showed a smile with a chance of victory, and said, "You can launch a general attack today!" ”

Xiang Red Axe said, "Today? Didn't Ming Gong's original plan to launch a general attack the day after tomorrow? ”

"The total number of casualties in the various divisions has been two or three thousand. Our losses were quite numerous, and the casualties of the defenders were not expected to be small. You don't have to wait until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you can attack today! ”

As Meng Lang walked outside the tent, he looked at Xiangwu City in the distance with the red axe, pouted and said, "In front of the Liming Sect, there are few enemies to prevent the Duke of Jin and the Duke of Yan from saving Ran Xing. Jin and Yan Ergong, Lian Zhan could not overcome it, and Ko Mingzong got the name of the iron wall. Wen Xin's young book is even more arrogant, saying that it is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to regret the Mingzong. I see, this is 'making the shaft famous'! What iron wall? What is the regret that Koji Ming Sect is difficult? In front of Ming Gong, isn't it a piece of cake? You don't even have to wait for the scheduled general attack plan, you can give him a Tarzan to overpower! ”

Meng Lang didn't underestimate the koji ball, and said, "You can't say that. It is precisely because of his previous reputation that I will be so cautious and serious in this attack. If it weren't for the preparations I made before the war, this attack would not have gone so smoothly. ”

Xiang Red Axe said: "There are many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty but not arrogant, and the real name is handsome!" Xiangwu City broke the sun, and Koji Mingzong must be convinced. Thinking of something, he asked, "The king confessed, Ko Mingzong is a talent, it is best to capture him alive, Ming Gong, do you want to persuade him to surrender before the general attack?" ”

Meng Lang said: "Haven't you read the materials of the Koji Ming Sect collected in our company's subordinate mansion? He is not a man who will surrender, and it is useless to persuade him to surrender. Don't bother with it. ”

After blowing the fresh air in the early morning for a while, Meng Lang felt much better.

He turned back into the tent and ordered, "Summons all the future to see!" ”

The drums of the summoned generals pierced the bright sky and resounded in the camp of the Qin army.

After the three-way drum was completed, Pu Badger Sun, Pu Tong, Shi Shou, Tonghuliang, Lei Xiaofang, Zhao Xing, Shi Junnu and other generals rushed to arrive.

Meng Lang sat on the main seat, and the generals sat in two columns.

Meng Lang got straight to the point and said: "In recent days, the progress of the various departments has been great, the day before yesterday, our army attacked the city head for the first time, although it was repulsed, but the day before yesterday, it attacked the city head twice in a row, and knocked down three small sections of the city wall on the south and west sides. The morale of the guards has declined. Today, the general offensive is launched! ”

Although the scheduled general attack is tomorrow, the defenders in the city have gradually lost strength in the past few days, but the generals can feel it, because it is not surprising that the generals are not surprised by Meng Lang's order to launch a general attack in advance, and they promise in unison.

Pu Badger Sun asked: "I don't know which city wall will be attacked in today's general attack?" ”

Meng Lang said: "In the attack a few days ago, Yan Gong, General Zhao Lang and General Shi were the main forces, presumably your troops are exhausted, right?" Let them rest today, and I'll be in charge of the main attack in the east of the city! ”

When Zhao Xing heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and thought, "I finally got through it!" ”

But one of them said in a strange voice: "Yes, I waited in front of me and worked hard, and I finally won the battle, of course, it was time for Si Ligong to come forward to clean up the mess!" ”

The person who spoke was Shi Junnu.

Zhao Xing's face changed slightly, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and looked at Meng Lang anxiously.

Meng Lang smiled and said, "What? Does General Shi think I'm stealing credit? ”

Shi Junnu stiffened his neck and said, "Whether it is a robbery or not, you know it in your own heart!" ”

"Does General Shi want this credit? Pulling out Xiangwu and winning koji balls is indeed a great achievement. I'm just afraid that the general won't be able to get it. ”

"How do you know I can't get it?"

Meng Lang laughed twice, with an attitude of contempt for Shi Junnu.

Shi Junnu was furious, jumped up, and shouted, "Lao Tzu will show you this great achievement!" ”

"Don't be angry, I'm not underestimating the general, after all, there are many soldiers in the east of my city, if I attack from the east of the city, I can break this city in three days, if the general goes to attack, I'm afraid I won't come down in five or six days."

Shi Junnu said angrily: "Why do you use three days? Lao Tzu can conquer this city in two days! ”

Meng Lang smiled: "Sure enough? ”

"Two days!"

Meng Lang put away his smile, got up slowly, looked at the generals in the tent, and said, "General Shi claimed to be the city of Liangrike, and you all heard it. There is no joke in the army, I will wait for two days, General Shi will send me good news from Kecheng! His eyes fell on Zhao Xing's body and said, "General Shi has a little less soldiers and horses, General Zhao, you attack the south of the city and respond to General Shi." On the day of success, I will reward you and General Shi together! ”

Zhao Xingxing came up and respectfully agreed.

He was respectful on his face, scolded in his heart, and thought, "Are you fucking Shi Junnu, stupid?" Meng Lang's old man's agitation method, can't you see it? This old thing is better to borrow a knife to kill people, my department has been consumed by him earlier, this time to attack Xiangwu, and suffered heavy casualties, I thought it could be regarded as able to rest, you idiot jumped into the fire pit, and affected Lao Tzu! …… If the work is done, Lao Tzu will be rewarded with you; Did it succeed? The old man said in front of him, 'There is no joke in the army'! This is forcing the two of us to work hard! Are you fucking made of stone? ”

Shi Junnu is not stupid, the five words "no jokes in the army" are like thunder, blasting into his brain, waking him up at once, knowing that he has fallen into Meng Lang's plan, but the "military order" has been issued, and there is no way to regret it, so he has no choice but to accept the order with anger.

The main attack in the west of the city, the assistance in the south of the city, and the containment in the east of the city, all the generals returned to their own positions.

When the appointed time came to attack, the three sides attacked at the same time.

The military order is made, and if you can't do it, you will lose your head.

For the sake of his life, Shi Junnu no longer conserved his strength, sent all the elites in his department, personally supervised the battle, and attacked the west wall of Xiangwu City wave after wave.

The west city wall has been collapsed for a while, and there are not many guards on the west city wall who can fight, and Shi Junnu's previous attack was quite "mild".

The keeper is in a hurry to report the koji ball.

When the offensive in the east of the city was not fierce, the koji ball led the reserve team of 50 people to support in person.

arrived at the west of the city, but saw that the Qin soldiers under the city went forward one after another, trampling on the corpses of the robes that had died by the city wall before, and did not retreat in the face of arrows, sasswood, iron juice, and stone grease, and attacked the collapsed section of the city wall, trying to destroy the Xingnu wall that was in the gap; A ladder climbs the city wall.

Under the two strands, the guards are weak on the left and right, and the west wall of the city is in danger.

In this critical situation, it is useless to panic, Koji Qiu calmed his mind, his expression was the same, he carefully examined it for a while, and said: "The thieves are attacking the city so fiercely, and its lord will supervise the battle in the battle." He asked the soldiers of the garrison in the west of the city, "Do you know Shi Junnu?" ”

Shi Junnu was originally not interested in this battle at all, he had never entered the battlefield, and no one in the soldiers on the west wall of the city had seen him, and no one knew what he looked like.

Koji Qiu thought for a while, got an idea, and ordered: "Cut wood into arrows, and shoot them with them." ”

The soldiers in the west of the city did not know what he meant by this order, but they trusted him, did not have any doubts, and immediately carried out his order.

In a short time, more than 100 wooden arrows were cut and shot out of the city.

Several of the Qin soldiers who attacked under the city were hit by this arrow, and they were surprised to find that there was nothing to do except for a little pain, and they picked up the arrow and looked at it, and found that it was cut from wood, and they were all overjoyed, thinking that the arrows in the city were exhausted, and rushed to the stone Junnu who supervised the battle behind the battle, and presented it to him.

Koji Qiu pointed at it with a smile and said, "That's Shi Junnu, take the crossbow!" ”

The guards presented a strong crossbow.

The koji ball stepped on the arm, aimed at the stone junnu, and sent the crossbow arrow.

The strong arrow with the thickness of Xiao'er's arm swept over the head of the dense Qin pawn under the city, and before Shi Junnu, who was more than a hundred steps away, could react, it had already hit him in the chest. The wooden arrow in Shi Junnu's hand slipped down, and he giggled and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and fell to his back.

The guards on the west wall of the city cheered in unison: "Girl, the divine shot is unparalleled!" ”

The main general was killed, the Qin soldiers who were besieging the city were in turmoil, and the officers had no intention of fighting again.

The urgency of the western wall of the city has been solved for the time being.

Koji Qiu left twenty soldiers to supplement the garrison troops on the west wall of the city, and led the remnants back to the east wall.

I went around to the north city wall, and after walking a short distance, I saw Bing Bo running in a hurry.

Koji Qiu smiled: "Yousheng, what are you doing in a hurry?" Do you know that I shot Shi Junnu and are in a hurry to come and say hello to me? ”

Bing Boleng shook his eyes and said, "Did Lang Jun shoot Shi Junnu?" Didn't the last general do this for this, didn't he hear Qin Pawn digging a tunnel two days ago? I just heard from the underground hearing that Qin Yu's tunnel has been dug through the city wall! ”

Underground listening is a large vat buried in the ground, which can hide people and be used to listen to the enemy's digging tunnels. The day before yesterday, the ground in the city heard the sound of Qin soldiers digging tunnels, although it was not possible to determine where the tunnels were dug exactly, but the approximate location was already known.

"Really?" Koji Qiu looked at the thirty armor soldiers behind him, and said, "Shi Junnu is impatient to kill, I will kill him with one arrow, the killing intent is sheng, there is nowhere to vent, just Qin Yu came down, can you punish me for me, in order to relax my mind?" ”

The thirty armor soldiers replied angrily: "I am willing to kill the rats for Lang Jun!" ”

Koji ball refers to the five gold medalists, and ordered: "Each of the five Jun leads a team." Ordered Bing Bo and said: "You Qing is the master of the five teams, after killing that Qin Yu, throw his body back to Meng Lang!" ”

Bing Bo and the five gold medal armor soldiers received the order and led the rest of the armor soldiers down to the city.

Koji Ball is an expert in playing authentic, how can he not prevent Meng Lang from attacking from the underground? As early as in the city adjacent to the city wall, a circle of trenches was dug, which was several zhang deep, and the water stopped.

Through listening, I already knew the general location of Qin Bing's tunnel.

Bing Bo and the armor soldiers stayed in the trench and waited quietly.

They arrived at the right time, and in less than a quarter of an hour, there was a faint sound of impact coming from the west wall not far from the trench, and the earth on the wall was falling.

Bing Bo hurriedly took the armor soldier and transferred to the past.

Soon, a hole was knocked out of the west wall. Two or three Qin pawns with braided hair showed their heads.

These three faces were full of stunned looks.

According to the direction of the tunnel drawn on the construction drawings, this should be underground, and if they go a little further, they should dig up, but how can they dig here?

Immediately after, they saw Bing Bo and others.

Where will Bing Bo wait for them to react? Grabbing one of them by the braid, he dragged him out, slitting his throat with a horizontal knife.

The other two Qin soldiers knew the opportunity very quickly, knowing that this was already prepared in the city.

Those who could be selected to dig in and out of the tunnels were all warriors of the Qin soldiers, but although they saw that Bing Bo and others were prepared to stop them here, they were not afraid at all, threw down the shovels used for excavation, carried weapons, and jumped out shouting, to fight with Bing Bo and others.

One after another, Qin pawns came out of the hole.

The trench was covered with a layer of water, and it was very muddy.

Bing Bo and the other Qin soldiers who came out of the cave were holding knives, mallets or axes, and in this muddy narrow trench, short blades intersected.

After two or three breaths, the blood had stained the muddy water red.

The enemy and I are all elite pawns, all the shots are ruthless, the armor touches one place, the knife and axe slash at the other party, the flesh and blood fly, the wounded do not retreat, there are broken arms, there are no weapons, pounce and knock down the other party, create an opportunity to kill the enemy for the comrades, there are injuries to the point, fall into the mud in front of the mud, do not forget to throw the weapon, hoping to pull an enemy to the end.

Bing Bo held the iron mallet in his left and a short axe in his right, and he was agile and ambushed, turning to fight in this square inch, raising the mallet to block the straight knife of the Qin pawn in the left back, swinging the axe and slashing the neck of the previous Qin pawn in the middle, and then the axe was cut to the right, hitting the belly of a Qin pawn, and then half-squatting in shape, the iron mallet swept back, and swept the legs of the Qin pawn with both hands to be cut in his hands with the knife to be chopped again, turned around, and the axe cut down, cutting his face in half.

Blood splattered and squirted Bin Seed's face.

With the back of his left hand, he wiped away the blood that had blinded his eyes, ignoring the rest of the blood that was dripping down his cheeks, and pounced on another of his own warriors.

I don't know how long the vicious fight lasted, it seemed like an hour, and it seemed like a moment, the clothes and armor worn by Qin pawns were all white, until Bing Bo was red-eyed, and he couldn't find the white that could be killed, and when he couldn't hear the sound of battle again, he found that there was only Dingxi's armor standing in the deep ditch.

In the scarlet mud, broken arms and stumps were everywhere, and the corpses of no less than hundreds of Qin soldiers almost filled this trench, and more than a dozen of the corpses were wearing red armor, which was the Dingxi Jiashi who died in battle.

The ratio of enemy and enemy battle losses is ten to one, not because the individual combat ability of the Dingxi soldiers is so much stronger than that of the Qin soldiers, but because the Qin soldiers came out of the tunnel, they can only squeeze out two or three people at a time, and during a long period of battle, they are all fighting with fewer enemies and more, so their battle losses far exceed those of the Dingxi soldiers. However, although they were at a bad advantage in the combat environment, these hundreds of Qin soldiers still dared to fight and did not retreat, which also shows the fierceness of these Qin soldiers, and they must be Pu Qin's first-class elite.

The Dingxi soldiers who won the fierce battle dispersed to check whether the Qin soldiers were still alive, found a few who were not dead, and killed them all. All this is done in silence. Whoever kills or wounds is silent; and he that is slain does not ask for mercy.

After cleaning the battlefield, Bing Bo recovered from the excitement of the fierce battle, and ordered the armor of the Qin soldiers to be stripped off, and the corpses were sent to the city naked, and the guards threw them out of the city, and the corpses of their comrades who died in the battle were gathered together, and their names were written down, and they were buried by the people.

In order to prevent the Qin soldiers from using this section of the tunnel again, they took a windmill and placed it at the tunnel entrance, so that when the local people heard the sound of the Qin soldiers in the tunnel, they didn't have to fight to the death, and they could blow poisonous smoke inside.

……

Stirring up Shi Junnu, by the way, bringing Zhao Xing, this is just Meng Lang's "one stone and two eagles" strategy to further consume the strength of the two of them, and at the same time use Shi Junnu and Zhao Xing's offensive to attract the attention of Koji Qiu, the killer weapon he really used to break the city was the tunnel in the east of the city.

Unexpectedly, Koji not only detected the location of his tunnel, but also dug a deep trench in the city early, which made him spend many days of hard work, and did not see a return, but lost more than 100 elite soldiers.

Shi Junnu was shot to death by the koji ball, and the excavation of the tunnel was blocked by the koji ball, and the two military reports were passed to Meng Lang's tent.

Xiang Red Axe had no "piece of cake" and was speechless.

Meng Lang sighed: "Koji Mingzong is really a general. ”

"Ming Gong, Shi Junnu is dead, and the soldiers in the west of the city have no fighting spirit, are they still attacking today?"

"Let's rest for a day, and don't attack tonight, so that the three armies can rest, recuperate their physical strength, and attack again tomorrow."

Today's general attack is anticlimactic, but Meng Lang is not disappointed, on the contrary, his mood is still very good because of Shi Junnu's unexpected death, he thought, "Another hidden danger has been removed for the king!" Looking out of the tent, stroking his beard, thinking about it, "Although the Ko Ming Sect is a general, the guards in the city are about to be exhausted, and Gu Yin's reinforcements are blocked by Lu Ming, Fang Ping, and Yao Tao outside the birds and beasts in the same cave mountain, and they can't go south for half a step, Wudu and Yinping are too busy to take care of themselves, and he has no reinforcements outside, I will be three or two days late, or a day or two at the shortest, and I will be able to take this city!" ”

Xiang Chi Axe stopped talking after seeing Meng Lang give the order, and asked, "Ming Gong, what are you thinking?" ”

The Qin army's position, which stretched for twenty or thirty miles, was full of drums and horns.

Meng Lang looked at the camp outside the tent, and he was murderous.

He smiled and said, "I didn't think about anything." "Xindao, "When Xiangwu is broken and Wudu and Yinping are transferred, the western border of my Great Qin will be stable, and I can enter Wei in the east and cover Hebei!" The king's imperial business is thus completed! ”

……

Koji Qiu looked at the retreat of the Qin soldiers outside the city, and knew that it was another day of holding.

The Qin soldiers besieged the city for ten days, and he endured the heavy pressure of ten days, and lived like a year.

Facing the endless attacks of the Qin soldiers every day, he was at ease, and in the face of the different offensive methods of the Qin soldiers every day, he responded randomly and resolved them one by one; When the guards were wounded, he personally dressed the wounds, and sometimes at night, he would personally concoct dishes and distribute them to the soldiers and people, and in the eyes of the soldiers, people, and people, he was simply omnipotent.

However, there are always problems that Koji cannot solve.

The biggest problem is the strength of troops.

The Qin soldiers continued to attack day and night for five or six days, regardless of casualties, and as Meng Lang estimated, they did cause serious casualties to the guards. At present, there are only more than a thousand soldiers available to the koji players, including those with minor injuries, and the average number of soldiers on each wall is only three or four hundred. With this amount of troops, how can it resist the Qin soldiers who still have more than 20,000 people? And when the reinforcements from Guyin, who had been listening to him say that they would come to help, but they didn't see it for a long time, how could the guards and the people still have the courage and confidence to continue fighting?

With this in mind, Kojiqiu patrolled the city for half a day.

At night that day, after waiting for a while, seeing that the Qin soldiers did not attack at night as usual, Koji Qiu knew that this should be Meng Lang recuperating for tomorrow's general attack, so he also passed down the order to teach the guards of the city walls to rest except for those who were on guard.

Returning to the shack in the city where he lived these days, Koji Qiu barely watched "Spring and Autumn" for a while with the faint candle flame.

Worried about the war situation, he put down his book and stepped out of the shed.

The stars twinkled in the sky, and the moonlight fell lightly on the city.

This seems to be a quiet spring night in the city, but the cool night breeze does not bring the earthy fragrance outside the night city, but the pungent smell of blood; However, as far as the eye can see outside the city, there is the light of the Qin army's camp, all of which show that this is a lonely city under siege, and they all remind him that morale and people's hearts can last for a long time? How many days can the city be held?

With no one around, Kojiqiu could make the same move he had held back a few days ago.

He looked up at the night sky to the northwest.

When will reinforcements arrive?

……

Reinforcements arrived the next day, but they were not the soldiers and horses sent by Gu Yin.
