These generals have been fighting with Zhou Tong for a day or two, and as soon as they saw his expression, they understood that he had an idea. "Does the general have a clever plan?" A general asked.

"Not bad! It's just that this plan is a bit risky! If we don't succeed, I'm afraid we'll get into it ourselves! I can't say, we're all going to be finished by then! Zhou Tong nodded, and then said with some embarrassment.

"Where did the general speak! Since we are ordered to guard this place, it is to live and die with Yuanwei County! Even if there are some adventures, as long as there is a chance to annihilate the enemy army, why not! Hearing his words, the generals hurriedly said.

"Well, that's enough for you! The enemy came in a divided army, no matter what his real intentions were, whether he wanted to attack the county town on both sides, or whether he wanted to trap us to death, it was nothing. As long as we know, there will be a large number of Liangzhou troops deployed around the county seat! Those people think we don't know what they think, so we don't show it. I'll send someone to take the lead, cross the river and rush to Shimen, and let some soldiers and horses come to support us. Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Zhou Tong said.

"But General, the stone gate is not close to us! Besides, Shimen Xiaoguan and other places are now being threatened by the Huns, and it seems a little difficult to invite troops from there! It's better to mobilize troops from Tianshui and other counties! Hearing his thoughts, a general said.

"No, Tianshui and other places are farther away than Shimen! And the other party's army is coming, and if the time comes, we will cut off contact with the outside. Moreover, there are not many troops in Tianshui and other places, and they have to take into account the Jincheng Pass, so it is not appropriate to move lightly. But it was different on the Shimen side, where Peng Lin was in charge, and his duty was originally to deal with the other parties. Whether it is Huangjuan County or Xiaoguan, or Jincheng and us here, he has the responsibility to rescue. So, it's best to get troops from him! Zhou Tong waved his hand, vetoed his proposal, and then analyzed.

Several people heard him say this, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt that this was indeed the case.

"The most important thing is that Peng Lin has a thousand cavalry in his hands, and with their speed, they can rush to Yuanwei County in the shortest possible time. We don't have too much greed, we just want to destroy the 5,000 men and horses that came from the north. With Penlin's 1,000 cavalry, he should be able to do this! ”

"What the general said is good! If there were cavalry to help, there should be no problem. When everyone heard this, they all understood and nodded in agreement.

"The general just said that there is something difficult, I don't know why?" Some generals couldn't help but be curious when they thought of his previous words.

"There is nothing, but there is still uncertainty about this move to invite soldiers. For example, how is the battle situation on the side of Xiao Guan? If the war over there is fierce, I'm afraid Peng Lin won't be able to spare the manpower to support us, and this is one of them! The second troublesome thing is time! Although they are cavalry, they are not close after all. I don't know how long it will take to get there. And in the meantime, we've got to hold on. If before the reinforcements arrived, the county was lost, and we all died here, then the reinforcements would not have much meaning! Zhou Tong said leisurely.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be silent for a while. After all, these are indeed two of the toughest questions.

"General rest assured! In any case, we will fight to the death, and we will never let the enemy take the county seat! In any case, hold out until reinforcements arrive! Soon, a general said.

"Yes, no matter what, we will fight to the death!" Everyone said.

"Well, since everyone is so determined, then I won't say anything more! I will send a fast horse to Shimen and bring my letter to Peng Lin to send troops to help! Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Zhou Tong hurriedly said.

Soon, several fast horses quietly left the city and ran towards the crossing of the Yellow River to the north. At this time, Zhang Yao's army was less than sixty miles away from the county seat!

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind! This time, Zhou Tong took the initiative to be the cicada and let the Liangzhou soldiers and horses be the praying mantis, but the most important thing is that Peng Lin and they will become yellow finch.

In the afternoon of the same day, there was a commotion outside the city, and a large group of people appeared outside the city. Zhou Tong, who had been prepared for a long time, had already arranged 800 guards at the east city wall, and a staff general was in charge of the town.

As for himself, he was still sitting at the West City Gate, staring at Zhang Ju's side.

Outside the city, Zhang Ju was supervising the battle, watching his soldiers rush up one by one, some fell down halfway, and some climbed halfway up the siege ladder and fell directly. There were already many soldiers lying on the ground, and after days of fighting, even the soil had changed color.

However, this is nothing, Zhang Ju, who has long been accustomed to seeing all this, didn't even blink his eyes.

"General, look at the east, the black smoke rising is the signal that Zhang Sima and the others agreed with us!" After fighting for a while, a general next to him suddenly said to him.

Zhang Ju, who had always kept his face calm, finally had a smile on his face when he heard this.

Soon, a dull drum beat came from far away in the east, and when he heard it, the smile on his face became even stronger!

"Okay, Zhang Yao and the others have arrived in the east of Yuanwei County as scheduled. In that case, we can act! Pass the order, beat the drum and march, and the whole army will attack the city! Soon, Zhang Ju ordered.

Although it was said that when the plan was made two days ago, he said that he would surround the county, and then he led the army to join Niu Ba. But under such a good opportunity, if he didn't try to see if he could take the county seat, he wouldn't be reconciled.

Soon, the sound of war drums sounded on the east and west sides of the county, because the county seat is not particularly large, so the drums on both sides can be heard by each other. In this way, Zhang Yao in the east naturally knew that the west was ready to act.

The drums on both sides seemed to echo each other, and soon they rang out as if they had made some kind of connection. Soon after, Zhou Tong and the others saw that the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou had launched an attack on them from the east and west.

"Hit on both sides, sure enough! Summoning the order, the main thing is to defend, and these guys must not be allowed to enter the city! Zhou Tong took a deep breath and then ordered.

There is no doubt that the situation at this time is the most severe time since he was stationed in the county seat.

After the order was passed down, soon the entire Yuanwei County was killed, and the sound of shouting and killing rang out, enveloping the sky over the entire Yuanwei County and could not be dispersed.

Because he knew that Yuanwei County was already surrounded, the morale of the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou also came up all of a sudden, and under the heavy reward, they rushed forward desperately one by one. The soldiers of the Huashan Army counterattacked with arrows on the one hand, and guarded with spears on the other, and the battle on the entire city became much fiercer at once.

Fortunately, these are already veterans of long-term wars, so they are used to this situation, so there is no panic. The only drawback is that there are fewer and fewer arrows stored in the city, because of the continuous defense.

If we continue like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before we fall into a situation where there are no arrows to use! At that time, all the soldiers of the Huashan Army will have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy! In that case, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the defense of the city.

Although Zhou Tong understood this, under the circumstances, he had no better way but to hold on and wait for reinforcements from Peng Lin's side.

On the first day of Zhang Ju's all-out attack, both sides suffered heavy casualties. At this time, one of the biggest crises faced by the Huashan Army was that only a small part of all the arrows remained.

"Tell us not to panic, put a small number of enemies on the top of the city, and then kill them on the spot! Remember, don't put too much at a time, and don't put in two adjacent places at the same time! There was no way, Zhou Tong had to order.

He himself took his weapon and went into battle in person, guarding the edge of the battlement, staring coldly at the Liangzhou soldiers who climbed up below. By the time these men had just climbed to the top of the city, and before they had time to rejoice, the spear in his hand had already pierced out like lightning.

Not only that, but the soldiers also used long poles to push out the siege ladders under the cover of their shields. In this way, the number of enemies that climb up is greatly reduced. It's just that this action is more dangerous, even if there is a shield, it is easy to be shot by the random arrows under the city.

But the greatest crisis is not here, but at the city gates. Because of the lack of arrows, it was impossible to stop the opponent's striking wood from approaching the city gate by simply rolling the wood. At this time, under the fierce impact of the other party, the West City Gate became crumbling.

"General, what should I do? The city gate below is almost unsupportable! One of the lieutenants who was guarding the bottom ran up to report.

"How's it going at the East Gate?" Zhou Tong asked as he withdrew the spear from the enemy.

"The enemy troops outside the eastern city are coming quickly, and they don't bring any large equipment at all, so there is no problem for the time being."

"Then plug it up! No matter what method you use, even if you tear down all the nearby houses and seal the west gate for me, you can't let the enemy enter the city no matter what! Hearing this, Zhou Tong was a little relieved, and then said.

"Sealed?" The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, as if he suspected that he had misheard!!

"What are you doing? If the enemy comes in, we will all be finished, are you still afraid that we won't be able to get out after the blockade? Seeing that he was motionless, Zhou Tong couldn't help but say angrily.

"Yes, my subordinates will immediately seal the city gate!" The lieutenant was excited, and hurriedly ran down.
