The night has been dispelled by the rising sun, outside the Luomen camp is not a wide river, the Qiang army has been assembled again, although Chen Mo is the lord, but the guard in this camp is Wang Biao, as a general who has been fighting with the Qiang people for more than ten days, Wang Biao can clearly feel that today's Qiang army is obviously different from the past.

No longer scattered, the mighty army marched forward, rolling up the dust, just in the winter morning, a catapult was pushed onto the battlefield, as well as rushing cars, ladders and other large siege equipment carried to the battlefield, Wang Biao's mood became a little heavy, behind the wooden wall has gathered more than a thousand soldiers to gather ready to release arrows, the range of ordinary catapults is about eighty steps, but the range of the bow and crossbow in the army is only sixty steps, if only one or two are fine, but this time the other party pushed out a full fifty catapults, lined up, Almost across the entire battlefield.

The casualties caused by the catapult are still secondary, but the destructive power of the wooden wall is extremely terrifying, even after the continuous reinforcement of the craftsmen in the army, Wang Biao is not sure whether the reinforced wooden wall can block the attack of the opponent's catapult.

Attacking a large battalion but taking out the posture of attacking a strong city, Wang Biao didn't know whether he should be happy with the enemy's affirmation of him or worried about how to defend next?

After all, the barracks are not city walls, and the casualties caused by a dozen catapults on this side are limited after all, and the enemy has no wooden wall to destroy, as for the catapults that hit the opponent...... With the catapult's pitiful hit rate, this is not realistic.

"Lord, why did this Ma-Han coalition army suddenly ......" Dian Wei followed Chen Mo and Xu Shu to stand on the arrow tower, looking at the lineup of the Qiang army in the distance, a little surprised.

Today, the Qiang army took out a lot of siege equipment.

"It should be the baggage sent from the rear, and it is not easy to transport these things." Xu Shu frowned and glanced at it, shook his head and said, "But these instruments come up, I'm afraid the camp will be difficult to defend!" ”

Chen Mo nodded, of course it is difficult to defend, this is a siege posture, if it is used to attack the camp, just the stone bullets thrown by the catapult can easily destroy the outer wooden wall.

"Lord, are you still not sending troops?" Dian Wei was a little eager to try.

Chen Mo raised his head, looked at the sky, shook his head and said, "The time has not come, inform Wang Biao and prepare to withdraw the army!" ”

"Withdraw!?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo in surprise: "Then this big camp is so easy to give up to the other party?" ”

"Retreat to Ji County and reduce unnecessary casualties!" Chen Mo nodded and said, "Let the army slowly withdraw, set fire to the camp, and let this camp stop the other party." ”

"Whoa!" Although Dian Wei was puzzled, since Chen Mo had already given the order, he could only do it, and immediately jumped directly from the arrow tower, found Wang Biao, and conveyed the order to retreat to Wang Biao.

When Wang Biao received Chen Mo's order, he was also slightly relieved, this battle, he really didn't have the confidence to hold on to a military camp, of course, if Chen Mo didn't give the order, he wouldn't persuade him, but he would do his task to the extreme.

Wang Biao was born in Orion, and there was an army under him that set traps under him, and he ordered people to set traps while letting the troops withdraw from the camp one after another, and at the same time poured out the tung oil in the camp and prepared to set fire.

The coalition forces over there had already begun to attack the city, and the stone projectiles thrown by the catapults kept cutting through the void, and many of them fell directly into the camp or bombarded the wall, but there were always a few that could bombard the wall.

The large head, the grinding plate of the large stone bullet bombed down, even after the reinforcement of the wall can directly blast a crack, the Qiang army in the fierce horn sound of the push cart under the cover of bows and arrows began to charge against the wall again.

It's just that when I came in, I saw the Guanzhong army that had not completely retreated, and the traps all over the ground.

The enemy is going to withdraw?

At this time, the Qiang army naturally did not want the enemy to withdraw, and the military camp was broken, but if it was facing the city, the catapult was not so effective, and they howled and rushed forward with traps one by one, wanting to leave the Guanzhong army behind.

"Ignition!" Wang Biao waved his hand, and the archers who had already prepared shot a row of fire arrows at each other, and the wall stained with fire oil burned directly, frightening the surrounding Qiang troops to scatter quickly, and the tents in the barracks were also ignited.

"It's a pity that I lost a lot of baggage!" On the way back to Ji County, Dian Wei was a little distressed, he was in too much hurry, Chen Mo didn't want to fight with the Qiang army at this time, because he didn't bring a lot of baggage in the camp and was burned by a fire.

"Those things are gone, and you can do it again, but my soldiers are more valuable than those baggage, and there is no need to do pointless battles here." Chen Mo rode forward and comforted casually.

If you stick to it, of course, you can defend it, but there is no point, a big camp, although it is a choke point, but if you take a lot of lives because of this, the gain will outweigh the loss.

On the other side, in order to let Ma Teng take his guard, Han Sui sent the burn as an elite today, and took out the siege equipment that had just been delivered, ready to fight with Chen Mo, but who knew that Chen Mo had no intention of fighting at all, so he directly abandoned the camp and left, a fire blocked their way, and they could only watch Chen Mo leave.

Originally, this was nothing, but in the eyes of Ma Teng's father and son, it was too much of a coincidence, just like what was discussed between the two parties, Han Sui had just sent the elite up, and Chen Mo left, it was too suspicious.

It's just that no one said anything about it, Ma Teng's father and son were even more suspicious, and Han Sui was a little regretful, and after the fire stopped, he re-set up camp and rushed to Ji County.

"Brother Shoucheng, this equipment is moving slowly, I will wait for the temporary truce, how about attacking the city when the equipment is delivered?" Han Sui invited Ma Teng, and the two discussed in front of the army.

"It's fine." Ma Teng looked at Han Sui, and for a moment, he wanted to cut Han Sui directly, but he still held back, he also hoped to be able to break the enemy, if he cut Han Sui at this time, it would be completely useless.

Moreover, Ji County is different from the military camp, the city is more than two feet high, the city is strong, and it is indeed more difficult to attack the military camp without siege equipment, Ma Teng can only suppress the doubts in his heart, but the vigilance of Han Sui is stricter.

According to the strategy discussed by the two before, after breaking Chen Mo's camp, they should send a team of men and horses to capture the street pavilion and cut off Chen Mo's back road, but when it comes to this, Ma Teng is obviously unwilling to divide the troops now, and Han Sui's side is only Yan Xing, and he is not willing to divide the troops, neither of them took the initiative to mention it, and in the end it was as if they had never made this decision.

Three days later, the army arrived at the city of Ji County, but Ji County had already made sufficient preparations, the city gate was closed, and a lot of ravines were dug outside the city to block the approach of the opponent's siege equipment.

After another three days, after the arrival of the siege equipment, the Qiang army began to attack the city, but compared to the military camp, the city is not a little stronger, even if it is a boulder thrown by the catapult, it is difficult to shake the city wall, and the car can only temporarily slow down in the face of the ditch dug in advance, so that the Qiang soldiers will fill the ravine under the rain of arrows, and then send it to the battlefield.

In order to save boiling oil, in addition to setting up an oil pot above the city gate, other places are used to boil boiling water to pour down, although it is not as direct as boiling oil can even burn the ladder and the city hammer, but the boiling water is splashed on people, even if it can't be killed directly, it can also make the other party lose the ability to fight instantly.

This time, the offensive of the Qiang army was more ferocious, Han Sui was much more powerful than the previous stragglers after sending him to burn Dangqiang, but the Qiang army was not good at attacking the city, and he encountered Wang Biao, who was very good at defending the city, even if he rushed to the city wall several times, he was driven down by Wang Biao's troops.

In this way, the two sides fought fiercely for half a month, and the weather became colder and colder, and the boiling water that was poured out quickly cooled and frozen, and the soldiers who rushed on the road stepped on it, and people were easy to slip, and many of them were drenched in water, and many of the Qiang soldiers who were fine that day were infected with the wind chill afterwards, and the combat ability was greatly reduced, and the offensive of the Qiang army became more and more decadent.

"Almost." On this day, Chen Mo stood on the enemy tower, looked at the enemy army retreating like a tide, felt the cold in the air, looked at the gloomy sky, and said something inexplicably.

"What did the lord say?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo puzzled.

"The first snow of the year is coming!" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and smiled: "The fighter I was waiting for is also here." ”

"Huh?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo blankly, the snow fighter is coming?

Xu Shu on the side patiently explained: "Winter is not suitable for fighting, let alone attacking the city, the Malaysia-South Korea coalition army has failed to break the city for more than a month, and the morale is already low, and now the weather is getting colder and colder, and if it snows again, you can only retreat, so that the morale will be discharged, and our army can send troops to pursue." ”

When Dian Wei heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Mo with an expectant expression: "Lord, the last general ......"

"Let's get up the wolf smoke, Ziyi's side, it's time to move." Chen Mo smiled.

Tai Shi Ci has long been in a ruined city in Longxi, but has not moved, Xun You sent someone to contact Chen Mo, only waiting for the other party to retreat, when Chen Mo pursued, Tai Shi Ci will send troops, quickly cut off the other party's grain route, in this way, not only can completely defeat Ma Han, the land of Longxi will also belong to Chen Mo, and after this battle, Ma Han's power will be greatly damaged, the Qiang people after this battle, I am afraid that they will no longer be enemies with Chen Mo for a while, then it is the time to change the decree.

"Whoa!" Xu Shu smiled and agreed.

Soon, a thick pillar of smoke rose from the head of Ji County, and a pillar of smoke soon rose on the mountain in the distance, stretching backwards, and the pillar of smoke continued to rise, making Ma Teng and Han Sui in the military camp feel a little wrong.
