With the order of Qiangqu, the Hun soldiers shouted out, and the siege echelon shouted that the killing sound shook the sky, and rushed towards the county town of Guangning, followed by the Hun soldiers holding sabers.

Looking at the black pressure of a group of Hun soldiers, Lou Man secretly swallowed his saliva, the archer's hand holding the bow was a little trembling, and he subconsciously looked at the arrows in the quiver, only afraid that the arrows in his hands could hit the enemy, and it would not cause much damage to the enemy.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the Hun soldiers had entered the attack range, Lou Man waved his hand and gave an order, the arrow rain drew a black arc in the sky, the advancing Hun soldiers fell down under the impact of the arrow rain, and the cloud ladder soldier fell down with an arrow in the chest, but before the ladder fell to the ground, the soldier behind him took the ladder over, and it was not able to slow down the enemy's attack at all.

This crowd tactic really worked, even though Lou Man was calm, but the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound under the city gate still stimulated these soldiers to tremble. Although the Hun soldiers had not yet stormed the city gate, seeing the desperate approach of the Hun soldiers and the number of people who rushed to kill, the confidence of the soldiers on the city wall had fallen to a low point.

I couldn't help but have a sentence in my heart, this Guangning county town can't be defended.

Although the feather arrows and rolling wood thunder stones of the soldiers on the city gate caused damage to the Xiongnu soldiers besieging the city, the Xiongnu's curved bows and arrows also caused great damage to the officers and soldiers. The Xiongnu soldiers were like locusts all over the world, and the killing of some of the officers and soldiers could not stop the Xiongnu's offensive at all.

Because of the tough style of the Hun soldiers, as soon as the two sides clashed at the beginning, the battle entered a white heat, and both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties.

Looking at the Hun soldiers who kept falling down from the ladder, Qiang Qu's eyes were gloomy, at this time the siege battle had been going on for half an hour, and the Hun casualties had been nearly two thousand, and the officers and soldiers had also suffered more than 1,000 casualties under the strong arrows of the Hun soldiers. Qiangqu is especially confident, because he has 50,000 Hun soldiers in his hands He can afford to fight, but the official army only has 5,000 soldiers, and the casualties are almost half.

Qiang Qu showed an excited smile on his face, and waved his hand to order the soldiers: "The front team will return to rest, and the rear team will continue to attack!" "Such a cycle of wheel attacks, even if the official army resistance is strong, it cannot stop the continuous impact of the sharp Hun soldiers.

"Is there any movement in Tai Shi Ci's department?" When attacking the city, Qiangqu still did not forget the Tai Shi Ci Department behind him.

"Chief, there is no movement in Tai Shi Ci's department, and the speed is still the same as usual." The soldier reported.

Qiang Qu nodded, and said in his heart that Tai Shici is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. But Tai Shici thought about one thing wrong, in his Qiangqu eyes, Guangning County is not a tiger but a dog. It doesn't take long for a tiger to deal with a dog and kill it.

"Wait for me to capture the county seat of Quang Ninh first, and then go out of the city to fight you!" Qiang Qu showed a determined look in his eyes, and commanded the soldiers in his hands to accelerate the impact.

At this time, the corpses of the officers and soldiers on the wall of Guangning County have been piled up, the Huns launched three attacks in half an hour, and the feather arrows covering the attack are also very fierce, several times the Hun soldiers have rushed to the city wall, if it is not for the desperate resistance of the officials and soldiers, the county town of Guangning is estimated to have fallen into the hands of the Hun soldiers at this time.

A soldier with a bloody arm and a feather arrow staggered to report to Lou Man: "General, we have already suffered more than half of the casualties, and if we continue to attack like this, I am afraid that our army will be wiped out in less than an hour." At that time, the county seat of Quang Ninh will fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

Lou Man had been supervising the battle in front just now, and he was also frightened when he saw the lifeless fighting style of the Hun soldiers. Under such circumstances, it is already very good that the officers and troops can fight to this extent.

This soldier is right, the Hun soldiers bully the more and the less, and the officers and soldiers have no time to rest at all. Lou Man watched the Hun soldiers under the city put on an offensive formation again, and said in his heart that it should be almost enough to block this attack.

Lou Man already had a retreat in his heart, but his mouth did not relax, and he still said in a tough tone: "As long as there is one of my soldiers alive, nail me to the city gate!" Hurry up and go down to fight, lose the city wall and kill you! ”

The soldier was full of cleverness, and continued to defend the city wall with his soldiers, and when the rolling wood and thunder stones on the city wall were gone, they used the corpses of their comrades on the city gate. The battle was very fierce, the city gate became a meat grinder, the corpses of the officers and the Xiongnu lay on the ground, and the blood slowly left along the city wall and soaked a piece of land.

The county commander cautiously came to Lou Man's side with a shield in his hand, looked at the officers and soldiers who were killed by the arrow, swallowed his saliva, came to Lou Man's front and said: "General, more than half of our soldiers have been killed and wounded, and if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that all the soldiers will die here. This is the perfect time! ”

Lou Man swung his sword and knocked the powerful arrow that came over, and replied: "Even if you want to retreat, you have to fight this attack of the Huns!" "If you retreat when the Huns attack, the Hun soldiers who come later will kill these officers and soldiers to the ground.

The reason why I didn't say it to the soldiers just now was because I was afraid that the soldiers would have such a perfunctory mentality. If the soldiers were told to retreat after repelling the Xiongnu attack, the soldiers would subconsciously relax their vigilance, and the defense of the city might not be as serious as before. With such a mentality, the Hun soldiers will definitely be defeated.

Zhao Yi's soldiers who marched to Guangning County were still stepping on the horseshoe prints of the Hun soldiers, looking at the distance between each step of the Hun war horse, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed, and he secretly said that this Hun war horse was really strong, and it was not inferior to the Wuhuan war horse under his crotch.

"If the Wuhuan cavalry and the Hun soldiers are equal, who can win the battle?" Zhao Yi turned his head and asked Wen Qin beside him.

If the quality of the two horses is similar, the decisive victory depends on the courage of the soldiers. Wen Qin carefully compared: "Maybe the winner is half the winner." "Although the cavalry of the Nanlou Division often fought with the Xianbei tribe, they had rich combat experience. However, the Xiongnu army led by Qiang Qu has also been fighting against the Qiang people. Combat experience is not necessarily less than that of the difficult building.

Zhao Yi just wanted to speak, but saw the scout exploring the way in front of him walking quickly to him, Zhao Yi asked, "What is the movement of the Qiangqu department?" ”

"My lord, the 50,000 troops of Qiangqu have arrived at the city of Quang Ninh, and they have launched an attack without a pause, and the battle is fierce, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties." The scout detailed the message.

Qiangqu really did as Zhao Yi expected, and launched an attack without stopping. As for the heavy casualties mentioned by the scouts, in Zhao Yi's opinion, the heavy casualties in Guangning County were true, and the casualties of the Qiangqu Department did not shake their foundation at all.

Hearing the scout's words, Tai Shi Ci and Murong Fu's faces changed, the scout's round trip took nearly half an hour, so the two sides had been fighting for half an hour, and under the continuous impact of the Xiongnu headquarters, how could five thousand soldiers stop it.

At this time, it should march quickly to support the county seat of Quang Ninh, if the action is a little slow, then the county town of Quang Ninh is very likely to fall into the hands of the Xiongnu.

Zhao Yi waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat, and under the expectant gaze of Tai Shici and others, Zhao Yi finally gave the order to march quickly.

Qiangqu under the city of Guangning County saw the corpses of the soldiers under the city, his eyes flashed, he originally thought that the 5,000 rabble that had been gathered temporarily was the opponent of his elite soldiers, but he did not expect that these 5,000 rabble could actually block the fierce attack of his 50,000 elite soldiers for as long as an hour.

Could it be that the morale of his own subordinates is low? Qiang Qu couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"Sir, is it that the spirit of our soldiers has been lost?" Qiang Qu whispered to the strategists beside him.

The strategist stroked his long beard, looked at the Hun soldiers who kept screaming and falling from the city wall, and sighed: "Leader, it's not that the sharpness of our soldiers has been lost, but that the siege battle cannot be compared with the field battle, and the horse scimitar of our department in the siege battle is useless, and it is naturally easy to be defeated by the official army. Killing 1,000 enemies and self-inflicting 800 losses is not a big casualty. ”

"Sir, the Tai Shi Ci army is less than thirty miles away from our department at this time, should our army be annihilated first?" Qiangqu had just received the news that his subordinates were exploring the horses, and if Qiangqu led his troops to attack at this time, the cavalry led by Tai Shici could escape into Huai'an County, but the infantry under his command could not escape. At this time, there is ninety percent certainty of killing Tai Shi Ci's Qiang Qu.

The strategist shook his head: "If the army attacks Taishici's army, victory is certain. However, the siege of the city is about one blow, if you can't capture the county seat of Guangning today, it will be difficult to capture it in the future. "What the strategist said is right, if you can't attack for a long time, the soldier's spirit will be lost, and it will be really difficult to break the city at that time.

"What does Mr. mean is to capture the county seat of Guangning first, and then attack and retreat and defend, so that is the way to win?" Qiang Qu thought of something and asked.

A smile appeared on the corner of the strategist's mouth and nodded: "The leader is right. If the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department were in high morale at this time, if they did not take advantage of this time to capture the county seat of Guangning, but turned their heads to attack the Taishi Ci Department, the Xiongnu army was sharp, and the grain and grass were not enough, and the Xiongnu army was very likely to collapse without a fight.

Between Tai Shi Ci and Guangning County, Qiangqu could only choose the weak to attack at this time, and compared with the 50,000 troops under Tai Shi Ci, the defenders of Guangning County, who suffered more than half of the casualties, were naturally at a disadvantage.

Seeing that the attacking soldiers were beaten down by the officers and soldiers again, Qiang Qu's eyes became more and more cold, and he glanced at the blood-stained officers and soldiers on the wall of Guangning County, took a deep breath, and ordered all his soldiers to attack, wanting to take Guangning County in one fell swoop with this attack.

This time, 30,000 Hun soldiers attacked at the same time, and the ground was covered by Hun soldiers, like a black wave overwhelmingly surging towards Guangning County.

The officers and soldiers who had stubbornly resisted before stopped the attack this time and allowed the Hun soldiers to climb to the city gate, and the Hun soldiers who climbed the city gate found that the officers and soldiers standing on the city gate were actually fixed corpses.

The hated general knocked the corpses of the officers and soldiers to the ground, and the soldiers quickly walked down and opened the city gate, allowing Qiangqu and others to enter the city.
