The war in Zhujuan County was in full swing, and when the Huns were trying their best to capture the county seat, Xiaoguan, Wushi and Yuanwei County, which were more than 300 miles away from Zhujuan County, had already received the news at this time. Within Xiao Pass, Li Erhei had already gathered all the soldiers and horses, and this time he did not mobilize a lot of soldiers and horses, only 6,000 people. But among these people, most of them are crossbowmen, and there are also some Mo knife men.

"It's finally getting started! Immediately send the order down, and the army rushed to Sanshui County as soon as possible! Be careful, try to keep things as secret as possible along the way, and the Striker Scout should clear the road ahead and inquire about everything going on! In addition, immediately sent someone to Luguan and told Shao Zisong that he could act! After receiving the news, Li Erhei immediately stepped on the war horse and ordered.

Almost at the same time, Peng Lin in Wushi County rushed to Hu Tian in Yuanwei County early, and he also gave similar orders. The three-way army, on the night of Liu Weichen's attack, moved towards Zhujuan County together.

Among the three-way army, Hu Tian's soldiers and horses are similar to Li Erhei's, both of them are only 6,000 people, and even the troop configuration is similar. But Peng Lin's road was different, because he had 8,000 cavalry on this road, which was almost all the light cavalry of the entire Huashan Army.

Thanks to the prosperity and development of Zhujuan County and other places, the Huashan Army has obtained many war horses in the past two years. Thus, the cavalry was able to really build. Although compared with the Huns, the gap between the 10,000 light cavalry is not small, but this war is a severe test for them.

It is conceivable that no matter how many war drills have been experienced before, they are all fake after all. And this time it is true, once it is said that after the end of this war, the cavalry that can survive will inevitably really grow up, and it will inevitably become an important backbone of the Huashan Army to form cavalry in the future.

Among the three people, Peng Lin's soldiers and horses were actually the farthest away from Zhujuan County, but their speed was the fastest. In contrast, Hu Tian and Li Erhei, the two soldiers and horses, because most of them are foot soldiers, are much slower.

In other words, Liu Weichen's side has been attacking the city for two days in a row, but he still hasn't been able to step into the city. Under such circumstances, Liu Weichen also began to become a little nervous. In order to discover the traces of the reinforcements of the Huashan Army in advance, he took the county seat as the center and scattered a large number of scouts to investigate the situation.

However, Li Erhei's actions were quite secretive, and the distance between the two sides was relatively far at this time, so the other party did not find their traces at all.

On the third day, Liu Weichen finally couldn't help it, as if he was a wolf on the grassland, he seemed to smell a hint of danger.

"No, if it drags on like this, I'm afraid the consequences will be worrying! You'll have to find another way to siege the city! Liu Weichen gathered a group of his subordinates to discuss the attack.

If it had been replaced by the later Mongol army at this time, I am afraid that there would have been no such worries. After all, the Mongols had many tools at their disposal when they were marching west or south, and although they were also cavalry, they often attacked cities.

"Shan Yu, the soil here is relatively loose, or let's dig up the earth and build a road leading to the city, so that our soldiers can rush directly to the city. That's a lot better than the way you climb now! One of the tribal leaders proposed.

"No, it's safe, but it takes too much time! I'm afraid that before we take down the county seat, the reinforcements of the Huashan Army will already be killed. When the time comes, there will inevitably be a big war, and there will be no good for us! For this suggestion, Liu Weichen directly denied it.

After all, his biggest goal in going south this time was to come for the wealth in the city. Although he said that he had 30,000 cavalry in his hands, he was not afraid of the Huashan army, but when the time came, he would not get the slightest benefit, and if he fought a battle in vain, wouldn't he die at a loss!

"That'..... Why don't we just set fire to this city and burn it down? For example, get some firewood piles and put them under the city gates or walls, and then light a fire and burn them. Or, let's shoot rockets directly ~ into the city, so that they have to escape, maybe we can also take this city! "Another man proposed a fire attack.

"You stupid! With this fire, we can't get in by ourselves, and when the time comes, everything in it will be burned out, so what's the use of us taking this city? Can you use your brain? As soon as this suggestion came out, the tribal leader who had proposed the land was the first to refute it.

"That's right, you can't attack with fire, you don't forget the purpose of our visit!" Liu Weichen had a dark face and looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, everyone below couldn't help but ponder. After thinking for a while, one of the people suddenly said, "Why don't we just dig a tunnel and penetrate the city from outside the city?" The soil here is relatively loose, and digging tunnels is not a difficult task! ”

Hearing this idea, Liu Weichen's eyes couldn't help but light up. Although they are herding herders for a living, they usually have no experience in digging tunnels, but there is no great difficulty in thinking about it. After all, wouldn't it be better to dig straight into the ground?

"Okay, let's use this method! However, in order to hide people's eyes, we still build a feint outside. In this way, the Huashan army in the city must think that we are attacking from the outside, and they will not notice that we are digging tunnels underground! Liu Weichen immediately made a final decision.

Soon, Liu Weichen began to act, and the attack outside was as fierce as before, but in a dead corner outside the city, a team of men and horses had already begun to quietly dig the tunnel.

At this time, Li Erhei had already led his men and horses to Sanshui County, where he made a temporary stop. The reason why this is the case is because there are some special things here in Sanshui County, and he must bring them with him on this trip.

"General Lee, everything is already ready. Since receiving the general's order, he ordered someone to put on all the pack horses, and the army can take them away at any time! Luo Qing, the guard general of Sanshui County, reported to Li Erhei, who had just arrived.

"Very good, thank you! After I'm gone, you have to be on guard here, lest something that doesn't have a long eye wander over here. Li Erhei nodded and explained to him.

"Yes! General, please follow the end of the world! Luo Qing hurriedly answered, and then took Li Erhei to the south of the city.

Li Erhei stayed in Sanshui County for about an hour, and then immediately took people on the road again. At this time, he was less than a hundred miles away from the side of the county. Not long after leaving Sanshui County, the scout in front came back to report.

"General Qiyu, the Huns' scouts were found ten miles ahead, and his subordinates led people to shoot two of them, and one was wounded and captured!" The scout reported.

"How's the situation going in the county? Have you ever found out? Li Erhei asked.

"Judging from the information obtained from the captives, the county has not yet been captured by the enemy. The enemy army is trying to attack the city in various ways, and at the same time, in order to prevent us from going to support the county seat, the large scattered scouts are riding in all directions, and the farthest distance from their camp is more than sixty miles! ”

"It seems that this Liu Weichen is still quite vigilant! However, this time he couldn't be vigilant no matter how vigilant he was, and since he came, he didn't want to leave easily. General Peng: What's going on on their side? But have you already arrived at the designated place? Li Erhei listened, immediately sneered, and then asked.

"General Peng's side is relatively fast, and they have already arrived at the scheduled location yesterday, as for General Hu's side, because the contact is inconvenient, so I don't know what the situation is for the time being!"

"It doesn't matter to Hu Tian's side, he can slow down. Now that Peng Lin has arrived, let's speed up too! Send the order down and let the army speed up, make sure to get to the predetermined location before dawn, and then start the operation! Li Erhei nodded, and after a deep groan, he ordered.

On the side of Zhujuan County, Liu Weichen was in a bad mood again, because the clever plan he had conceived before, only now did he realize that it was impossible to realize it at all.

Digging tunnels is a good idea, but the problem is that it's right on the edge of the Yellow River. Although it is said that the excavation is more than ten miles away, when you dig deeper, a large amount of water comes out with a bang.

The first time I did it, the water directly washed away the entire tunnel, and the dozen or so people who went down to dig the tunnel were all buried inside. Although two other places were later chosen to excavate, the results were not much better.

In this way, the method of this tunnel war was directly shattered, and no one dared to go down even if there was a heavy reward. In the end, going around and around returned to the original starting point, but it was a method of attacking the city with ground, which seemed to have had a little effect.

Because the defenders in the city could not stop the army under the city from transporting earth and building a road, seeing that although the road was narrower, it was getting closer and closer to the city, Liu Weichen finally had to face up to this matter.

"There's no better way now, so let's use this plan! He ordered the army to build a road day and night, and to connect the road to the head of the city as soon as possible. In addition, let the soldiers in front pay close attention to the situation in the city, and don't let the Huashan army destroy this dirt road! Liu Weichen eventually changed the order.

"Report, Qi Yu Shan Yu, I found the figure of the Huashan Army in the south, and it seems that a large group of soldiers and horses are killing us. The little one was supposed to investigate in detail, but he was besieged by the other party's scouts and had to go back to report the news! Just as Liu Weichen was deliberating, a scout ran in from outside the tent and reported loudly.
