Chapter 470: The Siege

was happy, and the outsiders reported that the team sent out to intercept the Huashan Army to escort the tax silver had returned. Hearing the news, Liu Weichen hurriedly walked towards the outside of the tent. As soon as I got out of the tent, I saw a large cart parked in the camp, and the boxes on them were extremely heavy, leaving deep ruts on the ground. There were many soldiers who heard the news around, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement at this time.

"Open it all for me!" Liu Weichen looked at it for a moment and commanded.

As his words fell, the box in front of him was opened again. Just like the previous scene, the people around him couldn't help but be amazed. Even Liu Weichen himself, seeing this dazzling array of eyes at this time, couldn't help jumping wildly in his heart.

"I didn't expect that there really was so much treasure in it! I thought it was an exaggeration from the people below, but now it seems that the words are not false at all! Liu Weichen stepped forward, picked up a few pieces of gold and talked to himself while looking at them.

"Shan Yu, this is just an escort of the Huashan Army, there is so much gold and silver. If we take this city, I'm afraid that the wealth in it will be ten times as much! A minister next to him stepped forward and said.

"Makes sense! This is only a month's accumulation in the city, and there must be more treasures in the city. However, it will not be easy to take this city! After all, we are heroes on horseback, and we can do it on horseback, but it will be too difficult for us cavalry to attack the city. As long as the time drags on for a long time, the reinforcements of the Huashan Army arrive, we are afraid that we will not be able to resist! After hearing this, Liu Weichen took his gaze back from the box and said with a worried face.

Although Liu Weichen is greedy for wealth in the county, he is not a stupid person, and he is still very clear about his own advantages. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought about grabbing a handful and running away.

It was precisely because he knew that the mobility on his side was incomparable to that of the Huashan Army, so he had the courage to do this big vote.

If today's Huashan Army had a cavalry as powerful as himself, I am afraid he would not have such an idea at all. However, after arriving here, he found that it seemed really not easy for him to take down the county.

Because today's county town is completely different from the old city ruins in the past. As the key place planned by Li Xin, the only official occasion for the Huashan Army to trade with the Hu people in the north, the construction of this place is naturally impossible to be too stingy.

After three years of construction, not only the original castle site was restored, but also expanded. The whole city is sitting in the north and facing south, there are four gates in the city, and the east gate is facing the big tent of Liu Weichen today.

From the very beginning of the construction of the county, because of its special geographical location, some special designs have been carried out. For example, its northern wall is almost attached to the bank of the Yellow River. To the south, it is connected to the mountains and hills to the south.

In this way, although the entire county is like a rectangle placed in the north and south, from a defensive point of view, it is more beneficial. This county town looks like an enlarged version of the Great Wall, which just blocks the road from east to west in this area.

Of course, you can also bypass the city, or you can just cross the Yellow River and go west from the north bank. Either turn around and head south in the east of the city and approach Sanshui County. It's just that the time and cost of such a practice are different, and for business travel, it is naturally not worth it.

Now, although the Xiongnu army is divided into several roads, blocking the east and west directions of the county, it is not a simple matter to capture some general cities. After all, there are still more than 3,000 defenders in the city, and they occupy a favorable position.

In addition, Liu Weichen was most worried that reinforcements from Yuanwei County in the west and Xiaoguan in Sanshui in the southeast would arrive. Because these places are relatively close to Zhujuan County, there is really not much time left for him.

"This city is difficult to attack, I'm afraid we have to do extraordinary things! The villain has a suggestion, that is, I don't know if you are willing to cut your love? The minister nodded, then said thoughtfully.

"Oh? If you have any good plan, tell me quickly. If this plan can really be realized, what is the price to pay! Hearing this, Liu Weichen glanced at him in surprise and immediately said.

"Yes! When the villain saw these gold and silver things in front of him, he was already dazzled, and the other soldiers were the same! The villain thinks that if he can only make a promise to attack the city first, and reward them with this treasure, he must be able to make everyone fight bravely and swear to attack the city! ”

Hearing this suggestion, Liu Weichen couldn't help but take a look at the gold and silver treasures around him~ around him, and then at the soldiers around him who were shining with blazing~ hot light in their eyes, and he knew in his heart that this method might really work!

Although the amount of these treasures was indeed staggering, the thought that there might be more wealth in the city calmed down a little.

"That's it, I can't bear the child to catch the wolf! Just do as you say! Immediately send a command, and whoever ascends to the top of the city and stands firm, or whoever opens the gate first, will be rewarded with a chest of treasure! "Giving up the small to take the big, Liu Weichen is still sober, so he immediately made a decision.

With the issuance of this military order, the entire barracks was completely boiling. The fighting spirit of all the soldiers was mobilized at this moment, like a raging fire, enveloping every soldier.

What a box of gold and silver jewelry! How many people can't get so much money in ten lifetimes, these ordinary soldiers are from ordinary herdsman families, and even many of them are servants and slaves of the Xiongnu nobles, and their conditions are even worse.

Once you get these treasures, don't you want what you want when you go back? At that time, you can also eat and drink spicy food, and you will no longer have to go to the wind and sun and suffer a lot. For the sake of these rewards, you have to risk your life to do it!

Liu Weichen's army came from afar, and it was naturally impossible to carry siege equipment. Fortunately, at this time, there are many forests around the county, and tall trees can be seen everywhere.

Therefore, after fully mobilizing the soldiers' fighting spirit, Liu Weichen immediately ordered the troops to cut down trees on the spot, build simple siege equipment, and prepare to capture the county seat as soon as possible.

The movement outside the city is too big, and it is impossible to hide it from the people inside the city, especially for the Huashan army who is always paying close attention to the outside of the city.

Above the East City Tower, Sun Tiezheng and Wu Hui stood together to observe the enemy situation. At this time, Dan heard a commotion outside the city, mixed with the sound of horses neighing in the wind. At a glance, I could only see the various tents stretching out, and I couldn't see the end at all.

"The enemy is gearing up for the attack! Looking at this, I'm afraid they will attack soon! Sun Tie looked at it for a while and said.

"That's for sure! After all, everyone knows that the longer it drags on, the more likely our reinforcements will arrive! When the time comes, it will not be so easy for them to take the county seat! Wu Hui nodded.

"In this way, it will be a little difficult for us to do it, we can't let them take down the county seat, and we can't make them feel that there is no hope at all!" When Sun Tie heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"That's no way, have you forgotten the general's explanation? We must firmly hold on to this place, but we must be like a rope, trapping each other, so that they can't walk if they want to, and they can't fight if they want to! ”

"Well, the war may start soon, and the affairs of this city will be left to you!" Sun Tie nodded, and then said.

"Don't worry! I've got everything in the city! Wu Hui responded.

Liu Weichen spent a day outside the city, and after resting for the night, he began to attack the city early the next morning. However, compared to the army of the Central Plains, their siege methods were too simple.

All the people would just carry the ladder and rush up, and the group behind them would be in a mess of arrows to cover it. In this case, it is unlikely that they will be able to climb the city walls. However, the small cowhide shields in their hands were not bad, and they could withstand the bows and arrows of the defenders of the city.

In addition, in the face of other means of attack, the Huns were somewhat powerless. But there is no way, Liu Weichen has long known that it is not easy, so there is no surprise that this will be done. He placed the gold and silver behind the three gates to encourage the besieging soldiers.

In this way, the effect is very obvious, the Hun soldiers at the east, west and south gates, as long as they turn around, they can see the eye-catching, shining gold and silver treasures. Suddenly, even in the face of the counterattack above the city, they all rushed up with a roar.

"These guys, are you crazy? Knowing that he came up to die, he was still so happy? Sun Tie, who was supervising the battle at the head of the city, couldn't help but shake his head secretly after seeing this scene.

Although he said that, he did not show any mercy when he started, and all the rolling stones and wood, as well as the golden juice and hot oil, were poured down, killing those Huns who wanted to climb up to the city as if they were crying wolves.

"Shan Yu, although the soldiers are high-spirited, but the Huashan army is very tightly defended the city, it has only been about an hour since the start of the war, and we have already suffered more than 300 casualties. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid our losses will be very large! Several generals and ministers who were following Liu Weichen couldn't help but say to him after seeing this situation at this time.

Of course, Liu Weichen also saw the situation in front of him, but it was nothing for him! After all, how can there be immortals in war! As long as you can finally take this county seat and get what is inside, then everything will be worth it in the end.
