Liu Weichen, who was already a little worried about this, suddenly became gloomy after hearing this at this time. "I didn't expect them to come so fast! It seems that it is impossible to take the county seat before they arrive! How many men and horses did the other side come, and what was the allocation of troops? After a deep groan, Liu Weichen asked.

"The little ones are far away and don't see too clearly. But from a distance, it seems that they are all cavalry, and there are not many foot soldiers among them. Judging from that, there are at least thousands of cavalry among them, and the formation is not small! The spy replied.

"Cavalry? Hahahaha, the Han people have a saying called Tiger Falling Pingyang being bullied by dogs! Although our Huns are not as good as before, these Han people dare to use cavalry to deal with us! Do you really think that when our Great Huns have fallen, they can underestimate us? Hearing this, Liu Weichen couldn't help but laugh angrily.

Not only him, but also the other generals and ministers in the tent, all had ugly faces after hearing this. After all, in their opinion, the Huashan army clearly knew that the Huns were powerful at riding and shooting, and the cavalry was one of the most powerful forces in the world, and they actually dared to send a large number of cavalry to fight.

"Shan Yu, the Huashan army is looking for their own death, let's fulfill them! Please give me 5,000 soldiers and horses, and I will deal with these people, and you alone will continue to oversee the siege of the city here!" As long as the last general comes out, I will never let those people come! Several generals got up and asked for orders, wanting to lead troops to intercept the reinforcements of the Huashan Army.

Liu Weichen hadn't made a decision in his heart yet, because he had never fought against the cavalry of the Huashan Army. Therefore, although he said that he looked down on other cavalry in the world in his heart, he was a little unconfident after all.

"Report, Qi Yu Shan Yu, twenty miles to the east, found a large number of traces of the Huashan Army! We are constantly approaching our camp! While he was groaning, another spy came in from outside to report.

"What? There are also traces of the Huashan Army in the east? How many people came? Liu Weichen was a little shocked at this moment, and finally felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"There are not many people, about 6,000 foot soldiers, except for foot soldiers, there don't seem to be many cavalry! But these people are strange, because they are all coming in horse-drawn carriages, so this speed is relatively fast! ”

"Coming by carriage? What kind of tactics is this? I ordered you to expand the reconnaissance area to a distance of sixty miles, why was the enemy discovered when it was twenty miles? Hearing this, Liu Weichen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then he thought of the key and said angrily.

"Indeed, the little ones have followed your orders and have searched all the way to a distance of sixty miles. But the brothers encountered the scouts of the Huashan Army and fought each other, and our people couldn't resist it, and most of them were either killed or wounded and captured. Only a small number of people remained, and they rushed back desperately to report to Shan Yu! When the spy heard this, he immediately cried out.

"Shan Yu, the situation doesn't look good! We are attacking the city fiercely, and in this case, the reinforcements of the Huashan Army should have rushed to the rescue immediately. And now looking at their approach, they still have time to take a detour, and they also deliberately cleaned up all our exploration horses, obviously so that we can know the news of their arrival later! There must be some conspiracy in this! A minister beside him took a few steps forward at this time and whispered to Liu Weichen.

"There are traces of enemy troops in the east and south, and it seems that they have faintly formed a situation of encirclement of us! Could it be that Huashan Jun is planning to eat us all in one bite? This appetite is inevitably too big, isn't he Li Xin afraid of breaking his big teeth? By the way, immediately send someone to the west to take a look, if there is also an enemy army there, I am afraid that the encirclement has already been completed! When Liu Weichen heard this, his heart sank even more, and after thinking for a while, he commanded.

Before he could send someone out, another horse came from outside, and it was the one he was most worried about now.

"Sure enough, the Huashan Army just wants to wipe us out! They used the county to drag us here firmly, and then mobilized the army to carry out a counter-encirclement against us! If we let it succeed, I'm afraid that we will have a worrying consequence this time! However, the other side does not have many troops, and most of them are foot soldiers, so it is too naïve to want to leave us behind with this little force! After pacing back and forth in the big tent for a while, Liu Weichen spoke.

By now, he had finally seen the entire layout of the Huashan Army clearly. Although I was a little nervous, I didn't say I was desperate. After all, the current strength comparison between the two sides is not large, and if you look at the strength alone, it seems that your side still has a big advantage. What's more, his side is full of cavalry!

In line with the view that the cavalry was invincible in the era of cold weapons, these people present basically didn't care about the foot soldiers of the Huashan Army. Therefore, even when they heard the news that they might be counter-encircled, everyone did not panic because of this, and no one said that they would retreat.

"So what should we do next? Although the number of Huashan troops is not large, since the other party dares to come, there will definitely be some preparations, if we lose too many troops here, I am afraid that it will be bad for the future! Someone said.

"Well, immediately order all the soldiers and horses in the west of the city to be transferred back, and all of them will be concentrated outside the east city, ready to meet the enemy army!" After thinking about it for a while, Liu Weichen said slowly.

"Isn't that inappropriate? If all our soldiers and horses are returned, won't the west and south of the city be ceded to the enemy? If the enemy's reinforcements and the defenders of the city are allowed to converge in one place, I am afraid that the threat to the rear of our camp will be too great! At that time, if the enemy forces on the east and west sides attack together, I am afraid it will be a great disadvantage for us! Hearing this, someone immediately questioned it.

"There's no way around it. As you all know, in the west of the city, there is a big river in the north, a strong wall in the county, a west of Xiluoshui in the south, and a mountain in the south. And the West City Gate is only about twenty miles away from Xiluoshui, and our tens of thousands of troops can't be deployed there at all, let alone give full play to the advantages of our cavalry! Once the enemy forces block this part of our forces on that small piece of ground, the only thing that awaits them is destruction! Liu Weichen sighed and said.

In fact, there are only three sides around the county, and there are only two sides of the east and west sides that can garrison the army, and there are only two sides of the real garrison.

Because the south side is between the mountains and the city wall, about two miles wide, this is not a problem for ordinary people to travel. But for a large army garrison or even a siege, it is not so easy.

And in the mountains, the power of cavalry is almost zero, and it is not as good as a foot soldier. The place outside the West City is like an isolated island in the ocean, if it is a foot soldier, maybe it can be defended, but if it is a cavalry, it will only be waiting for death!

On the contrary, outside the eastern city, both to the east and to the south, there was a wide and flat ground, which was perfect for a large-scale cavalry charge.

With the strength of 30,000 cavalry in Liu Weichen's hands, according to general reasoning, on such an open and boundless flat land, it can almost sweep 100,000 foot soldiers.

Of course, provided that he doesn't make mistakes himself, and doesn't run into masters.

"That's right! If we have a decisive battle in the east of the city, we have a better chance of winning. Even if we can't win, we can use the speed of the war horse at any time to escape back to the north! After hearing this explanation, everyone finally had no opinion.

Soon, the people sent by Liu Weichen to give the order to withdraw the troops back to the camp spread to all places. Not long after, the enemy troops stationed in the west and south of the city began to move in the direction of the camp in the east of the city.

"The enemy has retreated! Looks like it's going to come together! In that case, it should be our reinforcements that have arrived! Above the city, Sun Tie, who had been fighting bloodily for several days, immediately understood after seeing this scene at this time.

"It's a good thing for us that reinforcements have arrived! At least, we don't have to work so hard to defend the city anymore, and if we can solve these enemies as soon as possible and make the Northland peaceful, we will be at ease! A general beside him couldn't help but say.

"Although the peace in the north is a good thing, the peace in the world is really good! Otherwise, you and I will inevitably work hard! Pass the order down, keep a close guard everywhere, and be sure to guard against any conspiracy played by the enemy! Sun Tie sighed, and then ordered.

When Liu Weichen gathered his troops, at this time, thirty miles away from Zhujuan County, Li Erhei led the army and had already arrived. When he arrived, he ordered his army to halt and not advance, and he sent scouts to inquire about the situation ahead.

Almost at about the same time, Peng Lin, who went north along the Xiluo River from the south, also led the cavalry to the outside of the city of Zhujuan County at this time, and entered the city under the response of Sun Tie and others. However, his troops were a little different, because he split up his troops halfway.

He himself led 4,000 cavalry and entered Xicheng County along the bank of the Xiluo River. The remaining 4,000 cavalry rushed to the east of the county seat, in the woodland southeast of the Xiongnu camp.

And Hu Tian, who arrived with the army from Yuanwei County, also crossed the Xiluo River at this time. But his soldiers did not enter the city, but immediately rushed to the south of the city, filling the void left by the withdrawal of the Huns.

In this way, the Huashan army leaned on the strong wall of the county seat, which was equivalent to blocking the possible westward advance of the Huns. At this point, a counter-encirclement of the Xiongnu army was completely completed, and Sun Tie and others immediately sent people to Chang'an to inform Li Xin.
