The sneak attack has become a counter-sneak attack, and the ambush has become an ambush, and this Rong people do not seem to rely only on force and do not know how to use deception as rumored.

Fortunately, Zhong Xurong has been a horse for more than ten years, and he can achieve the position of a general, how can he not be guarded. Zhong Xu wiped the fine sweat oozing from his head, and ordered the army to simply build a fortress on the high ground to repair and make a fire.

An hour later, several groups of scouts reported that all the Rong people in the woods on the opposite hillside had retreated, Zhong Xu had already understood at this time, the morning scouts said that the total number of Rong people was about 3,000 to 5,000, but after meeting with the Rong people, he found that there were only 3,000 Rong people who fought with him. But now it seems that the two thousand men who were missing were the soldiers who were in ambush in the woods.

Zhong Xu analyzed that if the Rong people had a large number of soldiers and horses, they would have rushed up in the face of the lone army they led, and how could they let the Qin soldiers be repaired, but he would have fled far away.

After figuring out this verse, Zhong Xu ordered the whole army to pursue along the route of the Rong retreat.

Zhong Xu didn't know at this moment that just as he was leading the main force to pursue the five thousand Rong people, several highlands in Yinyangou were being fiercely attacked by the Rong people at this moment.

Nearly 7,000 Qin soldiers on the two heights north and south of the road have been cutting down a large number of trees on the high ground to build a stockade for several days, hoarding water and grain to prepare for a long-term garrison.

The soldiers on the opposite side can be seen busy on the high ground only separated by a ditch on both sides, and because the terrain of the high ground on the south side is steeper than that on the north side, the construction speed of the south side is much slower than that on the north side.

Most of the sergeants who marched and fought like to compete with each other, and seeing that the speed of their own construction of the village was slow, Xue Simu, the military marquis who led the troops on the high ground on the south side, asked the sergeants to get up early in the morning to work, and strive to catch up with the speed of building the village on the opposite high ground as soon as possible.

Xue Simu stood on the walled tower that had been erected two feet high, staring at the busy soldiers at his feet, and raised his head to look at the camp on the north side, which was still not moving, and couldn't help but be a little happy, and said in his heart: "Sleep, it's best to sleep until noon and wake up, in a few days, we will definitely surpass you and take the lead in completing the construction of the wall." ”

The more Xue Simu thought about it, the more proud he became, and the figure of General Zhong appeared in front of him, he patted his shoulder and looked at himself, his eyes were full of approval.

Thinking about it, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in Xue Simu's field of vision, slowly moving south on the mountain north of the camp on the opposite highland. He thought it was the shadow of the sun obscured by the clouds, so he didn't pay much attention to it, still wandering in his thoughts.

He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the sky, but saw that the sky was clear, and the sun that had just risen in the east only showed half of his face among the mountains and hills.

"Huh?" Xue Simu, who was looking at the beautiful scenery of the rising sun, suddenly felt a shock in his heart, there were no clouds in the sky, so what was the black shadow on the opposite mountain?

He hurriedly looked at the hillside again, and found that the black shadow was getting bigger and bigger, and when he looked at it, Xue Simu was shocked and almost fell off the platform.

"Someone, someone." Xue Simu shouted.

After a few breaths, after he saw more than a dozen personal soldiers downstairs coming to his feet, Xue Simu pointed to the north and said loudly: "Quickly go to the east high ground to find the general, and say that there are more than 10,000 soldiers on the west high ground." ”

"Quickly issue an early warning of an enemy attack to the high ground opposite."

"Quickly arrange for the soldiers to line up and prepare to meet the enemy."

Xue Simu said all the coping strategies he could think of in one breath, and after seeing the soldiers under his feet leave one by one, he carefully observed the soldiers on the north side.

I saw that the dense army had covered the entire slope of a high hill.

Xue Simu is also a person who has fought dozens of military battles, and in his opinion, the soldiers on this hill are about 18,000 even if they are not 20,000.

Xue Simu suddenly felt a little frightened, at this moment he just wanted the herald to arrive at Zhong Xu as soon as possible, and Zhong Bi could also transfer all the soldiers and horses at once, so that he could have the strength to fight with the Rong people here.

But before that, he could only hold out with more than 3,000 soldiers in the camp on the north side until reinforcements arrived.

After receiving the warning from their own side, the camp on the north side immediately spotted the soldiers rushing towards them.

Xue Simu on the walled wall saw that the originally very calm camp on the opposite side was only a moment later, and it was already full of people and a mess.

When the Rong people approached the northern camp, they pounced on the northern camp from the north, east, and west at the same time. After several rounds of thousands of rockets fired from the bottom up, the wooden village that had just been built in Beiying and the woods in front of the camp became a sea of fire.

Xue Simu closed his eyes, from the discovery of the Rong people to the start of the fire in Beiying, it was only half an hour's work, and he didn't need to look to already know that the fall of Beiying was only a matter of time.

He also sent a sergeant and ordered everyone to move the hoarded water to the wooden wall, dig a trench in front of the wall as soon as possible, and carry the soil to the wall to extinguish the fire.

At the same time, Xue Simu ordered that once the Rong people fired rockets at the camp, all the soldiers must immediately extinguish the fire source with water and soil at all costs.

The soldiers understood that this order was to get everyone up and put out the fire under the rain of thousands of arrows, and how this was different from suicide. But everyone saw the process of the destruction of the Beiying wall, and the truth that there were eggs under the nest, and everyone still understood something.

In the midst of the charging shouts of the northern soldiers "Ula Ula", the soldiers of the southern battalion were under tremendous pressure, carrying every tank of water and every load of soil.

Finally, before seeing the Rong people rushing across the galloping road to the high ground on the south side, the 3,000 soldiers of the southern camp miraculously completed all the tasks of transporting water and digging trenches, and each Tige held a bow and prepared to fight to the death with the Rong people.

Xue Simu carried his sword and witnessed the fiasco of the northern camp, but these warriors of Great Qin were slaughtered by the soldiers who attacked the camp like lambs to the slaughter.

The Rong troops attacked the high ground from the north, east, and west, but a large gap was left in the south, and hundreds of Qin soldiers fled from the southern slopes one after another.

According to Qin's law, if there is no general order to retreat, and the soldiers flee from the front of the battle without authorization, they will be beheaded. But Xue Simu was not in the mood to punish these deserters at the moment, but sent a team of 100 people to lure those soldiers who escaped to his camp.

He understands the consequences of doing so. These Qin soldiers could escape once and a second time, and if they had to flee again when the Rong soldiers attacked their camp, it would definitely be a great morale blow to the garrison soldiers.

But the reason why Xue Simu did this was also because he had already seen that the Rong people wanted to completely annihilate the defenders on the high ground on both sides, and they were not satisfied with defeating.

The reason why no troops were sent to the south of the Beida camp is that the Rong people have not had time to send troops to the south, and the other three Rong people have already attacked the high ground. The second may be that the Rong people want to deliberately put a gap so that the Qin soldiers can retreat to the southern camp and then annihilate them in one fell swoop. At the same time, the Qin soldiers who had a way to survive would not think of fighting to the death desperately.

Xue Simu expected that when the soldiers turned their heads to attack their camp, they would definitely surround the south, south, and northwest, and no one would be able to run away at that time, and the deserters of the Beida camp would naturally be the same.

After collecting nearly a thousand fleeing soldiers, the people in the southern camp could no longer hear the shouts of killing in the opposite camp, and they didn't need to look to know that the northern camp was over.

As Xue Simu expected, after the Rong soldiers captured the northern camp, they crossed the gallop road and killed the southern camp in a moment. Everyone on the high ground couldn't help but be a little frightened when they saw the soldiers who climbed up from around the high ground like ants.

Xue Simu raised his sword high and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, and all the soldiers will kill the enemy with me." ”

As soon as Qin Bing heard that reinforcements were coming, his spirit was immediately shocked, and his heart was much less timid.

In fact, Xue Simu also had a hard time, so he sent to ask for reinforcements in return, saying that General Zhong Xu had dispatched 8,000 soldiers and horses on several heights on the east side to the south to pursue the main force of the Rong people in the morning.

Lieutenant Xu Hu, who was guarding the Yinyangou Heights on his behalf, had already sent someone to deliver a letter to General Zhong after receiving the military report. Xu Hu asked the messenger soldiers to return to the camp first, and he would order another 8,000 soldiers and horses to come to help.

Xue Simu smiled bitterly, chasing the main force, isn't this main force of the Rong people right in front of him. But the matter has come to this point, and we can only stick to the camp and wait for reinforcements.

He knew that Xu Hu's dispatch of 8,000 soldiers and horses to help was already the ultimate he could do, and he was afraid that as soon as these 8,000 soldiers and horses came out, the highlands on both sides of Yinyan Ditch would be gained and lost.

Although it will take a while to gather the soldiers of the highlands, it will not be too long, Xue Simu is in his thirties, it is the time when his blood is strong, and he will immediately shake his spirits without worries, shout, and lead the archers to shoot a dense rain of arrows at the soldiers who are already close to the camp.

After Zhong Xu and another lieutenant Mu Hua went to pursue the Rong people, the captain Xu Hu exercised the command power of the Yinyan Gou Gallop Road Highland, when Xu Hu received Xue Simu's military report, he was also surprised, and the news that about 20,000 Rong soldiers attacked the high ground on the west side made him instantly understand that his main general must have fallen into the Rong people's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

But he did not hesitate, and immediately sent soldiers to let them quickly find Zhong Xu and ask the main general to return to the division to rescue. At the same time, he immediately ordered that except for the wounded soldiers, only one hundred-man team and wounded soldiers should be left in each high ground deployed from east to west, and the rest of the soldiers were quickly prepared to rescue the western high ground with him.

He felt that it was not advisable to face the 20,000 troops of the Rong people and rely on the various garrisons on the high ground, so he would only sit back and wait for the Rong people to break through one by one.

He thought that as long as the high ground was not lost, he could arrive in time, and when the time came, the danger of the high ground would be solved, and maybe he would be able to achieve a great victory.

After leaving the garrison heights, he sent several groups of scouts to the south to report a series of his actions and measures to Zhong Xu.

An hour later, when Xu Hu rushed to the west high ground with eight thousand Qin soldiers along the gallop road, he saw that the hillside on the high ground was already a scorched earth, and the dense soldiers on the black hillside were constantly rushing to the pass, and the smoke generated after the burning of the mountain forest shrouded the sky, making the sky above the high ground like ink.
