Chapter 296: Fighting Again (5)

"Let me keep the pill?"

Under the scorching sun, Jian Ju looked at the back of Gongsun Du and the other armies leaving, feeling excited and at the same time a little doubtful.

This morning, Jian Ju carefully pondered Wei Qiutai's words, although he still did not understand his true intentions, but there was a problem that he had figured out, at least agreed with his approach, and also handed it over to him.

So, Jian Ju packed up, took advantage of the fact that there was still some time before noon, asked to see Gongsun Du, and then expressed his willingness to serve him.

However, what people didn't expect was that Gongsun Du not only agreed immediately, but also entrusted the pill to him.

After that, there was such a scene!

After Jian Ju finished speaking, he casually ordered the soldiers at the city gate to strengthen their guard, and then hurried back to the mansion, he felt that Wei Qiutai must solve his doubts.

It's just that, to his disappointment, when he returned to the house, he told him that he hadn't even mentioned the matter to his father, Wei Qiutaiβ€”

"From now on, you need to make your own decisions about anything, and you don't need to ask me again."

However, Wei Qiutai didn't really care, and sent his two old men who had followed him for many years to Jian Ju.

It was only at this time that Jian Ju faintly understood what Wei Qiutai meant by his words in the morning, and he also had a faint guess about Gongsun Du's arrangement.

Faintly solved the doubts, Jian Ju naturally couldn't stay at home anymore, so he could only do what he should do. Immediately, he felt alienated, completely businesslike, and did not pay any attention to it.

If he had changed to the previous Jian position, he would probably be furious, but now, although he is still dissatisfied in his heart, he has endured it.

"Humph! If you have the ability, you have disobeyed Gongsun Du's orders! ”

On the other side, Gongsun Du led an army of 10,000 to Xuansu County without hurry.

He's waiting!

Waiting for whom?

Huang Zhong?

No, it's a message!

After half a day of traveling, before dark, Gongsun Du came to Susheng Bone City, and the news that he was waiting finally came.

"Did you finally show up?"

After reading the news that came, Gongsun Du sneered on his face, and then ordered, "Pass the order, hurry overnight, and be sure to rush to Houcheng tomorrow!" ”

Yes, Houcheng!

The 10,000-strong army, which had just rested for a short time, set off again, and no longer as slow as during the day, but rushed towards the direction of Houcheng!

Houcheng.

Today's fighting was particularly fierce, resulting in losses of nearly 100 more than in previous days, which made Qin Gun feel very bad. What's even worse is that during the war, Qin Gun saw that Xianbei had divided thousands of horses and didn't know where to go before. But Qin Gun knew that this was definitely going to be done against the reinforcements that had arrived before.

Such a blatant approach made Qin Gun grit his teeth with hatred, but he could only smash the steel teeth and swallow them in his stomach, with the heart of rescue, but he had no rescue power.

Not even sending a signal reminder!

It's too far away!

Looking at Mali's soldiers repairing the city wall, Qin Gun's eyes were on the outside of the city, and as soon as the battle ended, he sent several horsemen out of the city to inquire about the news and determine the safety of the reinforcements.

The night permeated the entire land, shrouding every corner of the city, and the crackling torches brought by the stars and fires illuminated the city.

The scouts sent out still hadn't sent back the news, which made Qin Gun feel anxious.

"At present, there are 1,976 people, and after excluding the 352 people who are seriously injured and temporarily unable to go to the battlefield, there are still 1,624 people."

"At present, the city wall is seriously damaged, and one of the urn cities has collapsed, if there is another accident with reinforcements, at most they can still hold on-"

"Three days!"

"If it is more than three days, the city will not be guaranteed, this is still according to the current Xianbei offensive, if you come with all your strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a day!"

Qin Gun thought of the more than 10,000 Xianbei enemy troops outside the city, and his heart became heavier and heavier.

"Hmmm......"

"Everyone cheer up and guard against the enemy's sneak attack at night!"

After a long silence, Qin Gun gave an order, hurriedly got off the city wall, and walked to the military camp near the left.

Soon after, a horse flew out and galloped into the night.

Qin Gun is very self-aware, county lieutenant, that's absolutely no problem, Du Lieutenant, and he can barely do it. Now facing a tenfold enemy and suffering heavy losses, if you want to keep the city, you can only ask for help again!

Soon after the news broke, the scouts who went out of the city to inquire about the news brought back good news.

The reinforcements were already paying attention to Xianbei's movements at all times, so Xianbei was discovered when he had just divided 5,000 people when he was attacking the city. The reinforcements were ready to ambush a wave, but the ambush was an ambush, but the 5,000 people were more like they were used to contain them, and they did not attack the reinforcement camp.

Qin Gun got this good news, but he couldn't sit still, "Xianbei, this can't wait?" ”

Prior to this, Xianbei's intention was obviously to use Houcheng as bait to attract more troops and so on. But now this posture has the meaning of directly taking down Houcheng, is there no need for bait? Or is the bait just fake news? Just to paralyze him, and then take the Houcheng at a smaller cost?

Qin Gun's mind kept turning, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.

In this way, Qin Lance was worried that Xianbei would attack at night, and the original number of soldiers on the night vigil was only 200, which was deliberately increased to 400.

There was no word all night, and Xianbei did not attack at all.

Even so, Qin Gun was not annoyed, but was a little worried about the spirit of his soldiers, so he specially let people slaughter a few pigs and instructed him to make the food better today.

After breakfast, Qin Gun came to the city early, and the time to verify his guess was coming, so he naturally couldn't take it lightly!

Xianbei still tried to attack the city, but it was clear that he was still not doing his best as before. However, at the end of the battle in the morning, Qin Gun saw 5,000 Xianbei cavalry break away from the team and gallop south.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you going to cut off the reinforcements first?"

No matter how you look at it, it is easier to attack the camp than to attack the city. It is naturally understandable that Qin Gun can think like this.

Understanding is understanding, Qin Gun is so anxious about this. Fortunately, during the lunch break, a piece of news came to the city, which filled him with joy and threw all his negative emotions into the middle of nowhere.

In the afternoon, Xianbei attacked the city as usual.

The difference is that at this time, Xianbei is attacking the city with all his might, and he looks like he is vowing to take Houcheng. If it were in the morning, Qin Gun might only feel a headache, but now it is different.

"The lord is coming to help in person, and he will arrive with troops tonight, so everyone will be killed by Captain Bendu, they must be repulsed, and they must hold the city and wait for the arrival of the lord!"

Qin Gun told the news he got at noon, and the morale of the soldiers defending the city suddenly increased greatly, and they were actually on a par with Xianbei, who was attacking the city with all his might.

In the evening, twilight was approaching, Houcheng was still firmly in the hands of Qin gun, and Xianbei had no choice but to retreat.

Qin Gun and the others were both happy and sad, happy that they had defended the city before the arrival of their lord, and sadly, the number of defenders was only a thousand people, and the losses were heavy.
