With the news of the discovery of enemy troops north of Pinyang, the Qin army in the city began to mobilize in an instant.

However, fortunately, the Qin army cut down some timber in advance and moved into the city, and most of the houses in the city were uninhabited, so Wei Kai's department could quickly build some defensive ordnance such as rolling stones and rolling logs on the spot, and the dilapidated city gates around them were carried by the Qin army to resist a few boulders, so that the incoming enemies outside the city could not easily attack the city.

"Hurry, hurry...", I only heard the commander of the Qin army on the city wall, constantly urging the soldiers under the city to carry the city defense equipment to the city wall, and deploy the soldiers to defend in various places on the city wall.

Outside the city, there were soldiers on war horses, going back and forth in and out of the city, reporting the information they had explored, and suddenly the north of Pinyang County was full of sentinels in Chen Cang's army to investigate the news.

At this time, Wei Kai changed into a military uniform, constantly patrolling the surrounding city walls, and from time to time pointed out the nearby soldiers who were arranging ordnance to defend the city, so as to calm the hearts of the people in all directions.

After all, the soldiers under Wei Kai's command are no longer the more than 2,000 people who followed at the beginning, after a series of battles, the Qin army has added a lot of new soldiers, and this is the first time they have faced the battlefield, it is inevitable to be nervous, but fortunately, the Qin army is defending the city this time.

Just as Wei Kai finished inspecting the surrounding city walls, he went to investigate the enemy's situation, so he urged the horse to rush back to Pinyang County, and after looking at Wei Kai from afar, he hurriedly handed the war horse under his crotch to the soldiers with him, and then reported the enemy situation to Wei Kai with an anxious face.

However, before You Jin could speak, seeing that his face was pale, he pulled him aside and said in a deep voice: "The enemy attacking from the north has been discovered?" ”。

When Jin heard this, he immediately said: "General Qiyu, scattered enemy troops have indeed been found in the north of Pinyang County, but they are not soldiers from the Central Plains, but grassland soldiers such as Yiqu and Linhu."

Before You Jin finished speaking, Wei Xingxin was suddenly shocked, in the Yiqu in the north of the Qin State, Lin Hu was also going to take advantage of the fire to rob the Qin State? Before I could think about it, I heard You Jin say in a deep voice: "General, now the northern part of Binyang County is only the vanguard of Yiqu, Linhu and other tribes.

After the last general led his army around the vanguard of these steppe tribes, he found a large number of enemy troops stationed near Luoshui thirty miles to the north, and I am afraid that there were no less than 50,000 people."

Thirty miles? When Wei Kai heard this, he thought carefully in his heart, isn't that in the upper reaches of the Chongquan line? So he looked at You Jin, who had an anxious look on his face, and said, "Can you find out the enemy's general intention to march?" ”

Originally, he was shocked by the discovery of a large number of silent enemy troops in the upper reaches of Luoshui, but at this time, he heard Wei Kai ask in a deep voice, frowned and thought carefully, and then said: "General, they don't seem to have a strong desire to attack, judging from the stationing situation, I am afraid that they have been stationed for more than two days, but there are many reconnaissance rangers around the area."

When Wei Kai heard You Jin say this, he did not breathe a sigh of relief because the enemy army did not attack Pingyang County for the time being, but said with an ugly face: "It's bad, I'm afraid that they will invade our Qin State this time, and they will not just plunder some property."

Then he nervously asked Youjin: "Are you sure it's Yiqu, Linhu and other grassland tribes?" Can you also find the flags of the Central Plains countries, such as Zhao? ”

As soon as Wei Kai's voice fell, You Jin suddenly had some doubts in his heart, Zhao Guo? However, looking at Wei Kai's serious expression, he replied in a deep voice: "General Qiyu, the last general really only found the soldiers of the northern grassland tribes, and there was no banner of the Central Plains countries."

Hearing Yu Jin's categorical answer, Wei Kai's hanging heart suddenly eased slightly. However, it is normal that the flags of the Central Plains countries have not been found, after all, the Central Plains countries have always prided themselves as benevolent and righteous countries, how could they be in the same stream with the grassland countries known as barbarians.

But the discovery of the grassland coalition army in the hinterland of the Qin State is not to plunder the people of the Qin State, and the critical situation at this time should not be underestimated, I am afraid that it is the despicable and shameless King of Wei again, Wei Xingxing can't help but think of it.

Judging from the current situation, the grassland coalition army staying on the side of Luoshui is afraid that it is coming towards the Qin army that is being deployed on the front line of Chongquan, and all this is probably the handiwork of Wei.

After all, the Qin alliance was led by the Wei State, and the grassland tribes that were originally stable in the north of the Qin State did not hesitate to take risks at this time and secretly attacked the hinterland of the Qin State, and they were stationed in one place for more than two days, I am afraid that when the allied forces of the countries in the east of the Qin State are engaged in a battle with the Chongquan Qin army, and then attack the Qin army on the front line from behind.

After listening to Wei Kai's explanation, You Jin on the side suddenly sweated profusely. If it is the grassland coalition army secretly hidden in Luoshui, as Wei Kai said, then the Qin army on the front line of Chongquan will be dangerous, after all, who would have thought that in the direction of the hinterland of Qin, there are still strange soldiers of the enemy army in ambush.

"General, how is this good?" , You Jin was very anxious at this time, after all, the soldiers on the front line of Chongquan were the troops that Qin State had managed to raise, if it was lost, Qin State was afraid that it would really be in danger of overthrowing the country.

"Don't worry, I've already warned the generals of Liyang and Chongquan, even if the enemy army lurking in the upper reaches of Luoshui sneaks up on Chongquan at this time, the general won't be defenseless, and isn't there still us?" , Wei Kai said in a deep voice.

Hearing what Wei Kai said, You Jin was suddenly shocked, and said with a stunned face: "General, are you going to fight to the death with the 50,000 grassland coalition troops on the edge of Luoshui?" ”。

After all, the more than 50,000 soldiers by the river, but all of them are skilled cavalry with bows and horses, not those savages encountered in Changchuan, if the Qin army is deployed in the county town of Pinyang County, relying on the city wall, the more than 10,000 soldiers in the city now, maybe there is still a station;

But if the Qin army abandons the city and fights a decisive battle with those grassland people in the wild, the Qin army is in a disadvantageous position in terms of number and combat effectiveness.

When Wei Kai heard this, of course he understood the worry in You Jin's heart, so he smiled and said: "No, we are buying time, not to defeat those incoming enemies."

Wei Kai has always been self-aware of his current situation, but he has no real illusion that he can defeat 50,000 grassland cavalry in Pinyang with less victory than the battle of Changchuan, after all, the reason why things like this are exciting every time they happen, and the history is circulated, is that such things are rare.

However, delaying time, Wei Kai still has a certain degree of confidence.

After all, the most important thing now is the defeat of the Great Liang Alliance of Wei, otherwise these grassland coalition forces hidden here, who have long been attacking the coalition forces of various countries that have been devastating and decaying, surrounded and annihilated the Qin army deployed here on the front line of Chongquan, without showing their horses' feet and being discovered by Wei Kai's department who happened to be stationed here.

And judging from these grassland coalition forces that have been stationed in Luoshui for more than two days, I am afraid that they have not yet received the defeat of the Great Liang Alliance of the Wei State, otherwise they would have fled back to the grassland in disgrace, how dare they attack so deep into the hinterland of the Qin State alone?

In this way, Wei Xingxing thought that since the alliance forces of the grassland countries had not yet discovered that the Qin army had noticed their traces, then for Wei Kai, he would have a lot of time to deploy the city defense of Pinyang County, while waiting for reinforcements from the Chongquan Qin army.

If they can wait for Ying Qian to lead the army to arrive, then the Qin army will have another opportunity to encircle and annihilate the grassland countries, avenge the people who were captured by them this time, and raise the national prestige of the Qin state.

But the key now is that the grassland tribes stationed by the Luoshui River must not be suspicious, otherwise once they detect that their tracks have been exposed, or the news that the Great Liang Alliance of the Wei State has failed, I am afraid that they will immediately disperse.

At that time, even if the Qin army wanted to pursue them again, I am afraid it would be a fool's dream, after all, it was impossible for a two-legged person to outrun the swift steppe cavalry, so they could only watch them scourge the Qin State in vain, and then swagger away.

But now, judging from the people of the Qin State who they began to plague the surrounding areas, I am afraid that the leaders of the various tribes in the royal tent by the Luoshui have slowly lacked enough patience.

Otherwise, they would not have allowed the soldiers in the tribe to go out and plunder the surrounding Qin army and people without permission, alarming the nearby Qin State government, so that their hard work would be wasted.

Luoshui, the camp of the steppe tribes.

"Ganlu Tan, you Bairong clan won't be deceiving me and waiting, right?" In the big tent, a bearded, fat man, holding a scimitar in his hand, pointed at an old man wearing a felt hat opposite, opened his mouth full of greasy, and said loudly.

"Ji Zhe, the Wei State invited me and other grassland tribes to jointly divide the alliance of the Qin State, all the patriarchs have seen it, and it is also because of this that everyone raised troops together.

Now that the Wei army has not arrived, why do you say that it is for the Aries clan to deceive everyone? As soon as Ji Zhe's voice fell, the patriarch of the Bairong clan on the opposite side, Gan Lu Tan, suddenly retorted.

"Hmph, who doesn't know, your Bairong clan has already hooked up with the merchants of the Wei Kingdom, maybe this time it is your Bairong clan's plan to bury all the warriors of our eight grassland countries here?" , Unexpectedly, Na Jizhe didn't pay attention to the words of the old patriarch of Bai Rong, Gan Lu Tan, but said more radically.

"Ji Zhe, you don't want to spew blood, who doesn't know that you are taking revenge on my Bairong clan for blocking your Shanyi tribe and going out of the camp to loot a few days ago?" As soon as the Bairong patriarch Ganlu Tan heard Ji Zhe's heart-wrenching words, and then looked at the intriguing eyes of the other patriarchs in the camp as Ji Zhe's voice fell, he suddenly felt anxious and retorted loudly.

It is no wonder that the Bai Rong patriarch Gan Lu Tan is anxious, after all, the eight countries of their grassland have stayed on the edge of this Luoshui for nearly three days and three nights, but the expected Wei army has not appeared for a long time.

Moreover, in order to prevent the leakage of the rumors, so that the Qin State would notice, the 50,000 grassland soldiers by the Luoshui River, except for the sentinels who roamed around the camp to kill the Qin people who witnessed them, were all locked up in this small camp for three days, which made the soldiers of all ethnic groups who had always been free and debauched on the grassland how could they stand it?

What is even more unbearable is that the people of the Central Plains, who are regarded as fat sheep by all the tribes in the grassland, are within the attack range of the soldiers of all tribes, but they cannot drive the troops to plunder, which makes the atmosphere in the camp even more tense and impatient.

After all, the people of the steppe tribe who are full of strength and their minds are full of wealth and women have no way to vent their anger in this small camp, so they can only attack their own kind, so the brawls in the camp and the sprinkling incidents are becoming more and more frequent, which also makes the patriarchs of all ethnic groups more and more troubled in the past few days.

Now that Ji Zhe said this, it was clear that he wanted to use the Bairong tribe as a scapegoat for the failure of the army, as an outlet for all the tribes, so that the Bairong patriarch Ganlu Tan was very anxious, for fear that his tribe would be attacked by a group.

"Ji Zhe, if you say these remarks that destroy the friendship of the eight countries of the grassland, I, Yiqu Fa, will definitely not spare you", Yiqu Wang Fa, who was sitting high in the camp, looked at Ji Zhe who still wanted to argue in the hall, and slapped the table and shouted.

The patriarchs of all the clans in the camp, after listening to the roar of the king of Yiqu, suddenly did not dare to come out, after all, who made the grassland among the eight countries, the Yiqu country is the first big country.

Moreover, in the past 100 years, the successive kings of Yiqu, taking advantage of the decline of the Qin State, learned the culture of the Zhou Dynasty, set up counties in the Yiqu State, and at the same time allied with various tribes in the grassland, taking the opportunity to develop national strength, and faintly became a force that could compete with the Qin State in the west.

After a long time, the camp heard the king of Yiqu say in a deep voice: "Lao Ganlu, you urge the hateful Wei people again, if the Wei army has not arrived two days later, we will immediately withdraw from the Qin State after we have plundered."

When the leaders of the clans in the camp heard this, they immediately stood up and said, "No."
