Entering the territory of Bingzhou from Hedong County, there is a dangerous pass that blocks the way of the Wei army, that is, Jiexiu.

Regarding Jiexiu, it is easiest for people to associate meson tui with it. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Wengong, known as one of the five hegemons of the Central Plains, had not yet reached the peak of power, and was traveling around the world.

Once Jin Wengong was hungry, but he couldn't find anything to eat within a radius of dozens of miles, so Jie Zitui cut off a piece of meat on his leg, made it into a meat soup, and offered it to him.

Later, Duke Wen of Jin returned to King Jin and regained power, and all the ministers who had been loyal to Duke Wen of Jin were promoted, but Jie Zitui did not, but chose to go home to serve his mother.

When Jin Wengong learned about it, he was deeply remorseful and ordered to recover Jie Zitui. But the clerks sent out were extremely unreliable, knowing that Jie Zitui had fled to the mountains with his mother on his back, so they set a fire to Jie Zitui, hoping to force Jie Zitui out.

That Zhijie Zitui did not come out at all, but was burned to death on the mountain, which made Jin Wengong extremely remorseful, so he named this place Jiexiu, in memory of Jie Zitui.

When it arrived in the Qin and Han dynasties, it was renamed Jiexiu. Jiexiu is known as the thoroughfare of Qin and Jin, and it is the gateway to enter the state from Hedong County, and has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

Liu Bao has been in Bingzhou for many years, how can he not know the importance of the geographical location of Jiexiu, so after he got into trouble, after taking Zishi County, the first city to conquer was Jiexiu, and then it was the turn of Xihe County to leave the stone.

Since the Wei army was going north from Hedong County to Merge with the state, then the first thing they would attack must be Jiexiu, and at this moment Liu Bao's main force was still in Yangyi, so he sent a military order to Jiexiu with an expedited 600 li, and ordered the guards of Jiexiu to guard until the arrival of reinforcements no matter what.

After the baptism of the war, the entire Pingbei Army seemed to have learned a lot of things and grew overnight.

Originally, infantry against cavalry was an act that was close to death, and with the same strength, the cavalry had a crushing record against the infantry, and the infantry had almost no chance of winning if they wanted to win.

However, Cao Liang stubbornly turned this impossibility into a possibility, and annihilated the main force of the Xiongnu in the south in one fell swoop in Xiliulin, and severely damaged the Huns, which can be regarded as a good start for this northward trip.

Cao Liang knew that although it was easier to fight Liu Yue in Puzi County, Cao Liang didn't want to bring this kind of arrogant emotion to their respective armies, because after entering the state, they would face more powerful enemies, and maintaining their original intention was the most important thing.

After leaving Pingyang, the Wei army went all the way north along the Fenshui, and after Yong'an, it would enter the boundary of Bingzhou.

The area around Xihe County has basically fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu, and the original county soldiers of Xihe were also defeated in the battle with the Huns.

If there is an army of the Wei army holding on to the territory of Bingzhou, it will be a blessing for the Pingbei army, but even if there is no army to respond, the Pingbei army is already ready to fight alone.

After receiving Liu Bao's urgent order, he did not slack off for a moment, and ordered the Huns to strictly defend the city, preparing to fight to the death with the invading Wei army.

The Huns are longer than cavalry and shorter than defending the city, but this is also a helpless thing, the Huns will never be able to give up those cities because it is not easy to defend the city, there is also a process of learning, so Liu Bao ordered Sang Ke to be sure to hold the boundary.

At this time, the Pingbei Army was not the most ideal siege team, and all the drawings for the construction of catapults and bed crossbows had been delivered to the ordnance battalion.

But to build these two big things, not only do you need huge raw materials, but you also need time, and now the ordnance battalion follows the Pingbei army all the way to the north, and it takes a lot of time to march every day, so how can you free up your hands to build.

Therefore, it will take some time for these siege weapons to come out, and before that, the siege of the Wei army will also be carried out in the form of ant attachment.

As with the previous march, the Yue Cavalry Battalion was still at the forefront of the ranks, with Deng Ailai as the vanguard officer.

However, this time in the middle of the road, did not encounter the Hun army interception, the Yue cavalry battalion all the way to the north, until the city of Jiexiu, did not see the shadow of the Hun soldiers.

After all, the cavalry of the Vietnamese cavalry battalion is long in field battles and neglects to attack the city, and if you want to take the boundary and rest, the cavalry alone will definitely not work, so all along, the infantry is the first to attack the city.

This will be the first siege battle faced by the Pingbei army, when fighting with Liu Yue before, although the Huns held several county seats, but when they heard the news of the attack of the Wei army, they fled one by one, and directly abandoned the city, and the Wei army could recover Puzi and Beiqu without difficulty.

And this time the city gates were closed, and the defenders were tight, so you knew at a glance that it would be a fierce battle.

The three infantry battalions can be perfectly coordinated at both ends of the attack and defense, and the three battalions have their own levels of soldiers and horses during the defense, forming a pikemen formation that does not move like a mountain, and when attacking, the infantry battalion and the Changshui battalion need to be supported by the archery battalion, without the bow and crossbow assistance of the archery battalion, the infantry battalion and the Changshui battalion will pay a great price when attacking the city.

Yang Hu and Wang Jun served as commanders of the siege, while Du Pre led the Shooting Battalion to provide fire support for the infantry battalion and the Changshui battalion.

First of all, the king of Yanghu killed the city of Jiexiu, and called for a battle, if the army defending the city was willing to fight, it would be able to reduce a lot of burden.

However, no matter how the Wei army insulted, the Huns defending the city were like turtles with shrunken heads, refusing to show their heads alive and dead, and turning a deaf ear to the Wei army's calls.

Of course, the Wei army's scolding array was at most against the ox tuning, and these Huns probably didn't understand the meaning of the words that came out of the mouth of these Wei soldiers at all.

After a moment of scolding, Yang Hu and Wang Jun also felt bored, anyway, such a result was already in their expectations, and if they wanted to take down Jiexiu City, it seemed that they had to use the most primitive means.

Ant-attached siege is one of the most common siege methods, using cloud ladders to climb the way to attack the head of the city and occupy the city.

The soldiers of the infantry battalion and the Changshui battalion shouted and poured like a tide towards the walls of Jiexiu, and the siege battle officially began.
