"General, I don't know how many soldiers and horses we used this time?" Hearing this news, the generals of Tongguan naturally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was not very pleasant to be worried all the time. Soon, however, a general stood up and asked.

"Five thousand soldiers and horses attacked the west gate, and Yang sent one thousand soldiers and horses to attack the east gate with us. I have decided that we will gather 1,000 soldiers and horses, and gather 2,000 soldiers and horses to attack the east gate together. In this way, there are 7,000 people, and if you think about it, there should be no problem in taking a small Huayin county. Fu Yun glanced at him and said.

"Seven thousand soldiers and horses are enough, it seems that Yang Yuanjun has also made up his mind to solve the problem of Huayin City at once!" Hearing this, the general hurriedly said.

"Pass the order, all the troops will fight, just wait for Yang Yuanjun's soldiers and horses to arrive, let's go all out, attack from east to west, and recapture Huayin City!" Fu Yun's face changed, and he said in a deep voice.

"Yes! The last will obey! Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but look abrupt and responded in unison.

In the next three days, Huayin City was as calm as ever, but the people in the city also slowly felt a solemn atmosphere. The soldiers and horses in the city began to be constantly mobilized, and they were very frequent, so that people couldn't figure out the situation at all.

After learning the news, Li Xin also secretly made some preparations, the most important thing was to tow back the ferries on the edge of Weishui, so that it would not be so easy for the enemy to cross Weishui.

After all this was arranged, the first thing Li Xin did was to let the army climb to the top of the city, and then he didn't do anything at all, but slept on the ground under the battlements. The entire city was suddenly snoring, like a landslide and the ground cracked, which frightened many people nearby.

"Sleep well, don't get up without orders!" This is Li Xin's order for everyone, even he himself, and he only woke up when he changed the guard with Li Erhei. The purpose of his doing this is to let everyone get enough rest before the war, after all, no one knows when this war will have to be fought together!

Under this order, although everyone was a little unaccustomed, there was no question. After a company slept on top of the city for a day and a night, the enemy finally appeared.

"Where?" Li Xin, who was asleep, was woken up by someone sent by Zhou Tong, and when he heard that an enemy had appeared, he stood up violently and looked out of the city.

"What about that! Do you see those moving figures? It was the enemy's scouts, and it seemed that their large army was not far away! Zhou Tong pointed to the distance and said.

Li Xin looked at it, and sure enough, in the direction of Fuxi County, several figures were riding horses and galloping back at this time. Judging from this point alone, the soldiers and horses who came this time were much more formal than those in Tongguan before, at least, they also knew how to do a pre-war reconnaissance.

"It seems that the enemy is more cautious this time, afraid that we will attack when they cross the Weishui, so they will simply take a detour to the top, cross the Weishui from the west of Fuxi County, and then kill us from there." Seeing the other party's movements, Li Xin thought for a while before he said.

"After all, with the lesson of the last time, I think Fu Qin is not stupid to this point, and he doesn't even have any precautions. No matter what they do, we're just going to defend the city anyway! Zhou Tong smiled and said.

"That's right! The order goes down, everyone ends their rest and prepares for a big battle! Li Xin glanced twice, and saw that smoke and dust had begun to appear in the distance, and the enemy brigade was about to arrive, so he said to the herald beside him.

Soon, everyone got up, and in a few moments they were scattered all over the city, and they were well guarded.

"General, two generals, a large number of enemy troops have appeared outside the eastern city and have launched an attack on us!" Just as Li Xin and Zhou Tong were still looking, a soldier ran over to report.

"It seems that the two sides should have agreed on a time." Hearing this, Li Xin glanced at Zhou Tong, and then said: "Go back and tell General Li that they will hold the East City, and they will not have to worry about the affairs here in the West City!" ”

Since the situation faced by the two sides is different, there is also a focus on the ratio of strength. Nearly 1,000 veterans were placed at the west city gate, that is, Li Xin's three veteran brigades, plus 1,000 recruits guarding the west gate, and the remaining 400 veterans were placed at the east city gate, plus 600 recruits. The Xicheng and Dongcheng combined are about 2,600 people, which is the vast majority of the strength of the Huashan Army now, and even the reserves are already counted in it.

"Yes!" The herald hurriedly retreated.

"Da, da, da.......!" While he was talking, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the city, and more than a dozen enemy cavalry soldiers ran to the city from a distance, looked around for a while, and then ran back. The enemy's large force has advanced to 500 meters below the city, forming a large phalanx, of which there are more than a dozen siege ladders alone, especially the one that hits the wood is very conspicuous, I am afraid that the power is not small. At the head of the group, a few generals on horseback were pointing at the head of the city.

"General Zhu, General Dong, this is Huayin County, look at the head of the city is full of enemy troops, obviously you have already taken precautions!" A general wearing sleeve armor said to the two generals in front of him at this time.

"General Dong, what do you think?" Zhu Lin was sent by Yang Qun to attack Huayin City, although he also learned some information on the way, but it was not particularly detailed after all, this time he asked Dong Xiu, the general sent by Yin Chi to help him.

"Although the wall doesn't look very high, it's not easy to attack. On both sides are either high mountains or cliffs, and there is no place to stand. If we want to attack, there is no other way than a frontal attack. Dong Xiu looked around for a while before he said.

"Ben Jiang also thinks that this Huayin City is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, compared to the terrain in the east of the city, our side is already much better, at least, most of the soldiers we brought can set up a formation to attack the city. Moreover, this time we brought enough siege equipment, as long as the soldiers use their lives, it must be a matter of time before they capture this Huayin City! Zhu Lin looked quite confident.

"In that case, let's do it! Take this Huayin City as soon as possible, and we can explain to the envoys! When I came, my envoy had already explained, everything obeyed General Zhu's orders, and asked the general to give orders! Dong Xiu arched his hand to Zhu Lin and said.

"Well, in that case, then Ben will not be polite! Someone! Command the three armies, give me all the strength to attack the city! When General Zhu saw the other party say this, he didn't say any kind words, he waved his big hand, and the drum suddenly sounded behind him.

"Kill.........!" As the drums of the attack sounded, the enemy army killed directly under the city, and those enemy troops who carried siege ladders and ramming wood to advance, each of them held a shield to defend themselves, and behind the army, the part of the archers who remained in place, hiding behind the shields, also began to support at this time.

"Sure enough, it's all the same number of roads! Tell my brothers, cheer me up, and don't let an enemy climb to the top of the city! Seeing this, Li Xin sneered, and then picked up the bow and arrow beside him and shot at the enemy under the city.

All of a sudden, arrows flew up and down the city, because they had experienced drills, and most of the veterans were on the west gate, so the enemy's attack had no impact at all, and everyone looked very dull.

"The enemy is coming, smash me!" When the enemy's bumper wood advanced to the bottom of the city, Zhou Tong shouted, and took the lead in lifting a stone and throwing it under the city gate. All the people around him did the same, so that the enemy troops below who were attacking the city gate were attacked by a rain of stones, and even if they were advancing with their shields on their heads, they could not stand it. After a while, only a bumper log was left under the city gate, but the soldiers carrying the bumper wood did not move.

"Again!" Zhu Lin, who was not far away, saw this scene, and his eyebrows lifted, and he was not moved at all. The horsewhip in his hand was pointed far away, and suddenly a soldier behind him rushed towards the city gate with the arrows from the city.

Here in the West City Gate, in fact, there is a moat outside the city, which is the water of the White Dragon Stream, however, the flow of this river is not large, and the weather is hot now, and there has been no rain recently, so the amount of water in this river is even smaller. Therefore, it was impossible to stop the approach of the enemy army, and soon, one after another siege ladders were erected to the wall, and one by one the enemy troops began to climb up the city.

The enemy had archers under the cover of the city, and they hid behind their shields, constantly firing arrows at the top of the city, and if any of the soldiers defending the city dared to come out, they would be shot by them. This is a relatively big threat to Li Xin and them, but the war is like this, and they have no way to avoid all the situations. In this case, the soldier's personal experience plays a big role, and the veteran is often better able to survive than the new recruit.

"Attention, the enemy is coming, kill!" After Li Xin released a few rounds of arrows, he finally saw the first enemy who climbed up to the top of the city, and without saying a word, he threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the side, lifted the knife in his hand and killed him.

The hapless fellow, who was still rejoicing that he had been the first to reach the top of the city, was about to jump down and kill him. Unexpectedly, a general-like thief suddenly appeared in the oblique stab, and he slashed at himself silently.

That general is naturally Li Xin, and this knife is full of strength. The enemy was startled and raised his shield to block it. Unfortunately, he seems to have underestimated Li Xin's strength, and he has also forgotten that he is riding on the battlements and has not yet come down. As a result, the knife was blocked by him, but his whole person was directly slashed down to the city, and he couldn't survive.
