"Zhao Guoren's reinforcements?" Massagai was slightly startled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Have you figured out how many people there are?" ”

The scout replied, "About ten thousand!" ”

"Ten thousand?" Masagai looked surprised and asked, "Is it cavalry or infantry?" ”

"All cavalry!"

Hearing this, Ma Sagai was furious, suddenly raised the whip in his hand, and whipped it down at a Yue general beside him: "Didn't you fool say that there are only four thousand cavalry in the entire territory of the Linhu people? Did these 10,000 Zhao cavalry fall from the sky? ”

Since Massagai was the commander of the Yue clan, although the general of the Yue clan saw the whip coming, he didn't dare to dodge at all, and he was whipped by Massagai several times with a bitter face, and even an obvious wound was drawn on his cheek, and blood was dripping.

Massagai shouted angrily at the Yue General, "Say, what's going on? ”

"Xi Hou, it was those Zhao captives who told the last general, and the last general just told the truth!" General Yue covered the wound on his face and screamed to hit the sky.

The look on Massagai's face gradually turned cold: "Could it be that all the Zhao State captives said so?" ”

"Yes, all the captives say that there are only two small cities, and there are two thousand cavalry in each small city!"

Ma Sagai snorted heavily and said, "Just such a few people, aren't the people of Zhao afraid of the people of Qin going north?" ”

Speaking of which, the Yue clan and the Qin state are also neighboring countries.

The general replied with a bitter face: "These captives said that the Zhao State has defeated the Qin State several times recently, and the people of the Qin State do not dare to take the initiative to go north at all!" ”

After hearing this, Masagai's face suddenly became a little cloudy.

If you want to know if this Yue general is lying, it's very simple, and then send someone else to interrogate the Zhao prisoners.

So Masagai felt that unless the subordinate was kicked in the head by the horse's hooves, it was impossible for him to lie about such a thing.

In that case, how did this Zhao reinforcement appear here?

Massagai was a little confused.

But soon Massagai made up his mind, there were only 10,000 cavalry of the Zhao State on the left and right, and the strength was only half of Massagai's, so what was there to be afraid of?

But having said that, it is obviously impossible to continue the next siege operation, after all, now that the Yueshi people have been fighting for a day, their physical strength is almost exhausted, in case they are stabbed in the back by Zhao Jun, the result is really unpredictable.

It's better to collect the troops and return to the camp first, and then look for opportunities tomorrow.

So Massagai waved his hand: "Pass the order, immediately collect the troops and return to the camp!" ”

Another whining horn sounded, but this time the sound of the horn changed from the long, thick tone of the attack to a rapid continuous short tone.

Under the twilight sky, thousands of Yue's cavalry slowly left the city wall and retreated into the Yue's camp.

As the Yue's people retreated, a burst of earth-shattering cheers erupted above the head of Dingxi City.

Many Zhao soldiers hugged each other and shouted excitedly, some silently bandaged the wounds of their robes, and some quietly sat on the side holding the bodies of their comrades and wept.

Organizing people everywhere to help in the war, Chen Teng, the county guard who was so busy with dirt, heard the news and hurriedly ran to the city wall.

"Captain Wu, have the Yue clan really retreated?"

Wu Sheng, who was covered in blood, stood there, his whole clothes and armor were covered with blood, and he showed a bright smile towards Chen Teng, showing off his big yellow teeth by the way.

"That's right, the enemy retreated!"

Chen Teng glanced at the Yue's soldiers who kept returning to the camp outside the city, his face was first happy, and then he showed a puzzled look: "This is for no reason, why did the Yue's people retreat?" ”

Although he has been coordinating various affairs in the city, Chen Tengke also knows that the city will soon be unable to hold on.

Wu Sheng shook his head, and was about to say something, when he suddenly realized something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the east.

A dull sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, and under the still bright eastern sky, smoke and dust billowed from the smoke, and countless cavalry haunted the smoke.

What's more important is the banner of Zhao that is still bright red in the billowing smoke and dust and under the light of the setting sun.

The next moment, Wu Sheng, who had always been a cold-faced general in Dingxi City, suddenly roared without warning.

"Reinforcements, it's our reinforcements coming!!"

The next moment, the jubilation in Dingxi City reached its extreme.

It was the Zhao reinforcements led by Li Mu who came, with a total of 7,000 cavalry from the Central Army and 2,000 local cavalry from Hetao County, but perhaps because of the huge momentum, it was mistaken by the Yueshi people as tens of thousands.

After all, in the midst of the billowing smoke and dust, it is indeed very difficult to discern whether the number of cavalry is 7,000 or 10,000 without approaching.

Perhaps because they were afraid of Zhao reinforcements, or perhaps because they knew that it would be impossible for the soldiers and civilians in the city to escape, the Yueshi people removed the siege to the east and south of Dingxi City.

Half an hour later, Li Mu appeared in front of the county guard Chen Teng and the county lieutenant Wu Sheng.

"There are only seven hundred cavalry in the city?" Li Mu frowned.

To be honest, the casualties in Dingxi City were even higher than Li Mu had imagined.

Of the 2,000 soldiers defending the city, there were only 700 left after a day's fighting, which shows how fierce this battle was.

If this is the case, then the nine thousand cavalry that Li Mu should have now has a maximum of seven thousand seven hundred.

Looking at Li Mu's solemn expression, the county guard Chen Teng's heart involuntarily rose again, and he hurriedly asked, "General Li Mu, is the situation very serious?" ”

Although Chen Teng had also heard of Li Mu's deeds of breaking Lin Hu with a small victory, Chen Teng had not experienced that war against Lin Hu after all, but witnessed the ferocity of the Yue people here today, so the evaluation of the Yue people in his heart was naturally higher.

Li Mu raised his head and didn't answer Chen Teng's question, but turned to Wu Sheng, who was standing on the side, and asked, "County Captain, can you ask me about today's battle situation?" ”

At first, Wu Sheng thought that the young general was dissatisfied with such heavy casualties, but after Li Mu asked a few questions, he found that Li Mu really wanted to understand the battle situation, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and explained today's battle situation in detail.

In the end, Wu Sheng said worriedly: "These Yueshi people are so strong, no wonder they can continuously defeat the Huns, there is indeed a reason. ”

Contrary to Wu Sheng's solemn face, when Li Mu listened to Wu Sheng's words, the expression on Li Mu's face was a lot more relaxed, and he also showed a little smile.

"Please rest assured that the county guard and the county lieutenant will be relieved after tomorrow, and the siege of Dingxi City should be lifted."

The county guard Chen Teng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "General Li Mu has already thought of a good way to break the enemy?" ”

Li Mu smiled slightly, and his eyes shone with a certain look.

"Breaking this moon clan, why be surprised? All you need is an upright teacher. ”
