In this way, they will not dare to go south for fear of our cavalry harassment, but they will have to requisition a large amount of grain and grass from the rear.

Therefore, it will not take half a year to stay until this winter is over, and the Rong army in the north will definitely retreat.

However, the priority now is not in Quwo, but in Hedong. Hedong will protect us, and we will have great hope of counterattacking Hexi and reviving Daqin in the future, but if Hedong does not protect us, there is little hope, and we are just dying and struggling in a corner.

The key to protecting the east of the river is to protect the yellow yin and the water.

At present, the number of Rong people facing the water is not large, and the cavalry that is ravaging the Qi country is only reckless in the plains but does not dare to enter the mountains to attack the long with a short attack and a small number of people, so I estimate that the water should be fine in a short time.

And Huangyin guards the east exit of the Xieyu Corridor, which has always been the key place for the Qi State to prevent our Great Qin from advancing eastward. Its importance is no less than that of Xieyu Pass.

Once lost, let alone Hedong, even the State of Qi, Wangji, and Chu will open their doors widely. Therefore, the top priority of Baohedong is to protect Huangyin.

Captain Gao Gao led 15,000 troops to confront the Rong people in Huangyin at this time, and General Wei also led 40,000 Qi troops on the way to help, thinking that they would arrive soon.

However, these soldiers and horses can hold for a while, but they are still not effective in the long run, so they urgently need to replenish their troops.

In my opinion, we can send additional troops to quickly replenish the number of soldiers and horses. Hedong was originally a large county of Qi with a population of no less than one million.

It is still possible to recruit a soldier in a short period of time with thunderous measures. Let General Xizi handle this matter, but General Xizi must remember to use both grace and power when going to Hedong, and must not hurt the people's hearts, after all, Hedong has just been under the jurisdiction of our Qin State.

But this strategy is still not a long-term solution, to hold Huangyin, one must be to repel the Rong army in Hexi, so that Xie Yu Guandong out of the Rong army to have worries.

Second, it is necessary to use the soldiers and horses of other countries to fight against the Rong people for a long time. However, this matter is a bit complicated, and we need to take a long-term view.

This fight against the war is of great significance, and you must remember not to be impulsive or reckless.

With this victory, there is still a profitable opportunity to rebuild Great Qin.

If we lose this battle, you and I will sacrifice our lives for the country and die for the country. ”

"Whoa!"

After Lu Lihua finished speaking coldly, all the people in the hall stood up in an uproar, and their eyes responded with determination.

Zhu Lihua stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly, motioning for everyone to sit down, and then continued: "Next, let's discuss how to defeat the enemy in Hexi. ”

......

Seven miles south of Quwo City, Wuyang Mountain, Zhezhe looked at this Xiongcheng comparable to Suibei City and was silent for a while, in addition to hundreds of personal soldiers beside him, there were four Rong people Wanfu such as Monanhu, Ahuanu, Bemur, and Bortu, as well as Han Yun, Jiang Hong and other Qin generals.

At this moment, they all followed behind Zhezhe, looking at Quwo City in front of them like a vicious beast with blazing eyes.

In the four months since the siege of the city, Zhezhe has sent troops to storm this city, which is said to be only defended by 30,000 horses, as many as four or five times, but after losing 10,000 people one after another, Zhezhe and others completely let go of the contempt in their hearts and faced the enemy in front of them.

As the number of assaults became less and less, Zhezhe was less and less confident that he would take the city immediately.

"Da Dan Yu followed Zhetuo and them to the Qi Kingdom from the North Road, and asked us to take Hexi County before leaving, but we spent four months in this small Quwo City.

Now the soldiers and horses of Qiuzitou and General Lin Xu have left Xieyu Pass in the east.

If we can't take Hexi County before them and open the passage to the Qi Kingdom, then this time I will lose face.

You know, less than thirty percent of the warriors in Qiuzi's soldiers and horses come from the tribe, and seventy percent of our soldiers and horses are from the grassland, so if we delay any longer, it will really be a joke. ”

Zhezhe looked ahead and said loudly, these words were harsh and embarrassing when they reached the ears of Mo Nanhu and others, and every Rong general couldn't help but have a little anger on their faces.

However, only Han Yun and other Qin generals tried their best to keep calm, because they knew that Zhezhe's words were actually for them.

This damn Quwo city defense is extremely complicated, every step forward in the siege is the soldiers to fill the life, the previous many sieges in addition to the first two or three times and the Rong soldiers took the lead in killing the city but suffered heavy losses, the rest of the siege is the Qin people are fighting bloodily, where can you still see the shadow of the Rong people.

Seeing that Han Yun and the others were silent, Zhezhe, who understood the thoughts of these Qin people, sneered, pointed to the Quwo City in front of him and shouted: "Today's words have come to this, everyone should not think about luck."

General Han Yun, please continue to take the lead today. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhezhe glanced at Han Yun, whose face changed slightly, and continued: "General Han, Zhezhe is not a person who favors one over the other, but the soldiers and horses on my grassland are longer than field battles and shorter than sieges, so it is better for General Han's sons to take the lead first."

But General Han don't need to be angry, you won't be fighting alone today.

The four commanders of Monanhu, Ahuanu, Bemur, and Bortu listened to the order, and today the four of you need to prepare to organize 3,000 people from each tribe to form a death squad, and join the siege army after General Han's 20,000 soldiers and horses have sieged the city.

In today's battle, you vow to take Quwo City, and if the sons and daughters you sent out to attack the city die in battle, you will send troops and horses to attack the city, and if all the soldiers and horses under your command are killed, you will take up your weapons and go to attack the city. If you are also dead, then I, Zhezhe, will naturally follow closely and attack the head of Quwo City.

But the ugly words are ahead, in today's battle, if anyone dares to withdraw troops without obeying the order, then don't blame Zhezhe for not talking about the friendship of comrades.

Did you hear me clearly? ”

After Zhezhe squeezed out the last few words from between his teeth, he looked around at everyone and stopped his fierce gaze on Han Yun and the others.

Everyone knew that Zhezhe had made up his mind, so after hearing Zhezhe's words that he had left no way back, he hurriedly bowed his head and said yes, not only Han Yun and the others immediately turned around and went to order troops to transfer generals, but those generals also showed resoluteness and immediately went down the mountain to rectify the troops and horses.

"Someone. Join me in the armies. When they are all dead, we will make up for it and attack the head of Quwo City. ”

"Yes."

"Woo, woo, woo"

At the head of Quwo City, An Moran looked coldly at the Rong army outside the city who were waving banners and pouring out of the nest, and couldn't help but leave a trace of fine sweat on his forehead.

He subconsciously glanced at the forest looming in the east, then turned his head to Gu Daoyuan, who had just walked to his side, and said:

"Master Gu, why did you come up to the city, there will be a battle for a while, and the stray arrows and flying stones don't have long eyes. This place is too dangerous, so please go back to the city. ”

Hearing this, Gu Daoyuan smiled and glanced at An Moran, who was full of beard, and said with a smile: "Since today is the last battle in Quwo City, then we should act more realistically."

General Hexi used such a big deal to do this, how could the old man stand by and watch the soldiers fight hard while he was indifferent.

Besides, it's not just the old man who came to the city, General An, please see who it is? ”

An Moran looked in the direction of Gu Daoyuan's finger, and saw a young woman in a cyan palace dress walking up to the city with a four or five-year-old child in her arms.

Behind the mother and daughter, there are also a group of clan relatives, including Zong Boyongsi.

Obviously, Gu Daoyuan had already explained today's plan to everyone, so looking at the Rong army outside the city like a vast ocean, this Yin Lady and the clan relatives also looked full of confidence.

They walked on the head of the city, and their gestures exuded the momentum of the superior who was across the country.

Qin Jun at the head of the city looked at these ministers who had never seen each other on weekdays, and they were shocked. Although they did not know the specific identities of the people who came, they knew what it meant for them to appear in the city.

I don't know who suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Great Qin is mighty!" ”

The soldiers all over the city also shouted in unison.

Seeing this, those clan relatives suddenly became heroic, and suddenly they saluted and waved to the soldiers at the head of the city, unaware that their status was noble and those soldiers were just ordinary people.

In front of the two armies, 10,000 people shouted in unison, I am afraid that no one will still be able to stand up at this time, and the deceased will be unhappy.

Mrs. Yin hugged Gongzihui tightly in her arms, and the strange thing was that Gongzihui, who was so round and tightly wrapped in a white fox fur, was not frightened by the cry of ten thousand people.

He opened his eyes wide, stretched out his two fleshy little hands from the fox fur quite excitedly, raised his fist and followed the soldiers to shout in a milky voice: "Great Qin is mighty." ”

I don't know how long the shouts on the city have been shouting, when the city head and the scattered flying arrows under the city come and go, An Moran sent Mrs. Yin and a group of ministers who hurriedly walked down the city, while secretly wiping his forehead.

"Lord Zaizuka, have you really decided not to go down to the city?"

Gu Daoyuan's already red face turned red, and after looking at Zhang Ziqi holding a sword beside him and Ma Yuan standing behind him, he replied to An Moran:

"Mrs. Yin is a woman, Gongzi Hui is just a Huangkou child, but General An also saw it, they are not afraid of the Rong army, what is there to fear about the damned bodies of our nobles.

This is the spirit of Daqin. This is the soul of Great Qin. This is what Great Qin can't rely on.

General An, don't worry about the few of us, just go and get busy. When the Rong people are killed to the city, we naturally have to pull a few cushions.

Hahaha. ”

After Gu Daoyuan finished speaking, he smiled and looked at the Rong army that was pouring towards Quwo City like a tide under the city.

Quwo followed the example of the original Shangdang city defense, and dug countless pits outside the city before the Rong army attacked the city, and the Rong people would send people to fill in these pits every time they attacked the city in the past four months, and the Qin soldiers in Quwo City would send people to dig the pits again after defeating the Rong people.

Therefore, in today's battle, the Rong people first sent a large number of soldiers to fill the pit with stones in their hands under the cover of archers.

Two hours later, the scattered pits outside Quwo City had almost been filled in, and the corpses of the Rong soldiers did not know the number of them, but they just looked up and looked densely lying all over the outside of the city.
