Although he was puzzled, he immediately made all the orders that could be taken to resist the forced siege of the Rong army, and the generals beside him also left one by one after "swooping".

The Qin army in the city was nervously preparing to meet the siege of the Rong army, and the Rong army was also making the final preparations for the attack on Huangyin.

Half an hour later, I only heard the sound of "woo" horns from the middle army of the Rong army, and the cheers of "Ula" and "Ula" immediately came from the ranks of the Rong army outside the city.

Subsequently, the city head of the city saw the Rong army of the two phalanxes under the city taking the lead in walking towards Huangyin City with neat steps.

"Rong people?"

Listening to the neat shouts of "Ula" coming from the two phalanxes, he immediately understood that the people who came to attack the city this time were the Rong people who had rarely been seen in the past two months.

Lu Lihua coldly watched as Rong Jun was almost to the moat, and suddenly raised one of his hands.

And when the Rong army stepped on the ice on the moat and began to charge at full speed, Zhu Lihua waved his arm downward, followed by countless arrows shot by the countless Qin troops on the city and the Rong army charging under the city.

At the same time, some of the archers of the Rong army under the city began to shoot arrows at the head of the city after rushing through the moat.

"Well, if only the moat had been drained earlier."

Looking at the soldiers under the city who were constantly being hit by arrows and falling to the ground and wailing, Zhu Lihua suddenly let out a helpless sigh.

Thinking about the ancient defense of Huangyin, it was originally impregnable in the operation of Qi State for decades, and this moat was an insurmountable moat.

However, for some reason, it snowed a month earlier, and the temperature that was supposed to drop gradually changed and froze the moat into ice in just a few days.

In this way, the moat became a thoroughfare, and all the horse traps, trenches and other fortifications outside the moat were of no use.

Even when the Najon army built the earthen platform, the forward camp was also built on the edge of the moat.

Although it was Lihua's own plan to not fight in the city, it was originally necessary to use the moat and other fortifications outside the city to resist the Rong army layer by layer.

But now that the Rong army has no moat to resist, it has already destroyed all the trenches and horse traps within fifty steps between the moat and the city wall.

So seeing that the rushing Rong army was getting closer and closer to the city wall, Lu Lihua still fell into deep self-blame.

Even though the sudden drop in temperature is the will of God, Zhu Lihua still has an unshirkable responsibility for not being able to see the will of heaven as the master.

"I don't know if Lin Xu is too lucky, or my luck is too bad?"

Lihua sighed slightly and shook his head.

"Zuo Daren, the Rong army is coming soon, please go down to the city first."

Seeing that the soldiers of the Rong army carrying the ladder were about to arrive at the city, Mao Biao, who was beside Zhu Lihua, suddenly said urgently to Zhu Lihua. And Zhu Lihua looked out of the city where the dead bodies were lying down at the beginning of the battle, and then waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to take him down from the city.

Mao Biao, who was relieved in his heart, hurriedly clinged to the back of Zhu Lihua, for fear that the cold arrows flying towards the city would hurt the most important person in the Yellow Yin City.

"Did Mao Biao see it? Today, the Rong army is planning to fight to the death. ”

"The last general saw that those Rong people were indeed very bold. The last general saw with his own eyes that more than a dozen soldiers running with a ladder were shot to death by us one after another, but they were still carried to the city by the surrounding soldiers.

Before a burning red sun flag could be carried under the city, the standard-bearer who carried the flag was shot dead by as many as six people.

But even so, the Rong people did not hesitate to charge, as if they were convinced that they could break the city today. ”

Speaking of this, Mao Biao suddenly saw Lu Lihua turn his head and glance at him, his eyes full of deep worry.

"You see the oddity too? I feel a little strange that they stormed the city wall today.

It is said that Lin Xu is by no means an unwise brave man, so it seems that he has no fear in attacking the city today, and he also looks like he wants to eat us.

I think he must have a conspiracy waiting for us.

In my opinion, let's not go back to the house, let's go to the city tower, I want to see what kind of calculation the Rong army is playing. ”

"But my lord, if the Rong army attacks the city, we won't be able to go down!" Mao Biao saw that Lihua was going to go up to the city tower, and he was shocked and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade.

But Zhu Lihua did not have the slightest intention of accepting Mao Biao's opinion, and insisted on ordering someone to carry him up to the city tower beside him.

Lu Lihua's actions were not only seen by Gao Yunce, who was commanding the battle at the head of the city, but also by countless soldiers who fought to the death.

Therefore, except for Gao Yunce, who was shocked, the rest of the soldiers were all overjoyed, knowing that this was the Zuo Da man who wanted to defend the city with them.

For a while, the sound of cheering, the reckless shouting of killing, and the screams after being hit by the arrow rose one after another on the head of the Huangyin city, stretching endlessly.

The siege lasted from early morning to noon, and from noon to evening.

The city and the city were full of soldiers who were not afraid of death, generals who stripped off their armor and looked down on death, and hand-to-hand combat full of blood.

Finally, when countless dead bodies were left under the city of Huangyin and disappeared into the darkness as the sun set, a large-scale siege battle came to an end.

When the battle was over, not only were the dead lying outside the walls, but the walls were also littered with fallen soldiers.

Most of them were soldiers who collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion after the retreat of the Rong army, and not all of them were killed in battle.

In the tower at the head of the city, the guards who were originally guarding everywhere sat around a dim light, reporting the battle situation during the day to Lihua.

"Zuo Daren, the 5,000 Rong troops outside the east gate today have not attacked the city."

"The left is bigger, and the 5,000 Rong troops outside the south gate have not attacked the city."

"Zuo Daren, outside the north gate today encountered the siege of 20,000 horses of the Rong army, because the original fortifications outside the moat were complete, so the last general bravely led some soldiers out of the city to lure the Rong cavalry to come to fight, and relied on trenches, city gates, antlers, and horse walls to resist layer by layer.

It wasn't until sunset that the Rong army reached the city walls.

Therefore, there was no battle on the northern wall, which would be guarded at the end of the day. ”

After An Moran finished speaking lightly, he looked around at everyone's eyes and smiled slightly, as if today's battle was really as relaxed as his expression.

"General An, how was the damage of the enemy and our army in today's battle?"

After An Moran said proudly, he heard Lu Lihua ask him about the results of the battle.

An Moran could hear a hint of joy in Lihua's tone, so he hurriedly said to the coach:

"Early this morning, An led 3,000 archers and 5,000 Changge soldiers out of the city to meet the battle. After luring the cavalry of the 10,000 Rong army to charge, our army immediately feigned fear and ran to the city.

After that, we took advantage of the fact that the Rong cavalry was blocked by the fortifications outside the city, and then turned back and fought with the cavalry.

Therefore, although the number of losses of our army in today's World War I has not yet been fully counted, it is estimated to be about 3,000.

After the Rong retreated before sunset, we captured as many as 4,000 horses on the battlefield, so I estimate that the number of dead and wounded of the Rong army will never be less than 3,000. ”

After An Moran finished speaking, he saw that the surrounding generals gave him a thumbs up, and his eyes were full of approval and admiration when he looked at him, which made An Moran even more fluttering, and involuntarily raised his chin as if to show his pride to everyone.

In the field battle outside the city, with 8,000 infantry against 10,000 cavalry, it was able to repel the cavalry charge, and the battle loss ratio of the two armies was unexpectedly comparable.

This is not a miracle, but it should be a rare result from any point of view.

However, the number of dead and wounded in the Narong army reached more than thirty percent, and the number of dead and wounded in the Qin army was close to half, so although the generals saw An Moran's ease, everyone knew in their hearts that the tragedy of the battle that happened outside the north gate during the day was needless to say.

"General An, when you led your troops out of the city to meet the Rong army today, the 5,000 soldiers left at the head of the city were new soldiers?"

"Hui Zuo is a big man, it is a new soldier, you also know where they can go out of the city to fight with the Rong people, I am afraid that they will be scared when they see 10,000 cavalry charging before they can fight."

An Moran laughed out loud after answering Lihua's words, but when he saw Lihua's cold face and the other generals lowering their heads one after another, the laughter gradually stopped.

After thinking about Lihua's words in his heart, An Moran suddenly felt a cold sweat behind him, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and gave a salute to Lihua and said slowly: "It's the last general who is reckless." ”

Seeing that An Moran recognized the mistake he had made, Lu Lihua suddenly shook his head and said:

"General An, it's good that you can understand. This battle is not something that can be fought in a day or two, and what is needed more in the future is the tenacity of those veterans of a hundred battles, so for us, each and every one of them is a treasure and cannot easily cost them their lives.

You know, there aren't many veterans in our army. ”

Speaking of this, seeing An Moran's blushing face, he suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his broad shoulders and said:

"Brother An, how can we say that we won the battle at the North Gate today, and this matter should be known to all the brothers in the city, and they should be happy together.

At the same time, our defeat of the cavalry with infantry can also boost morale, so Brother An doesn't need to be so panicked, in the end, you have also made a great contribution.

I'll remember that credit. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Lihua opened his mouth and smiled slightly, and the generals around him who didn't dare to speak also laughed when they saw the boss turn their anger into joy. Everyone cast a kind look at An Moran, who raised his head and looked at everyone.

And An Moran, who saw everyone's eyes, was embarrassed for a while, and couldn't help touching his head like Xin Tong'er when he was "shy", and laughed embarrassedly.
