Hundreds of stone-throwing trucks smashed for a day, but the Xianbei Royal City was still as strong as ever, and the guards at the head of the city took refuge in a safe place, so that it had little effect. Yu Ban sent 3,000 soldiers, climbed the siege vehicle, tried to attack the city, but the Xianbei guards swarmed up, poured fire oil on the siege vehicle, and shot rockets, although Jizhou archers aided, the siege vehicle burned down seriously and could no longer be used.

Liu Ze sat in the big tent, saw that the siege was fruitless, and asked the group. Yu Ban said: "Duke Ming, the royal city is strong, and it is difficult to get down. Xianbei reinforcements are coming soon, and our army battalion should be prepared. Liu Ze said: "Is there a good way to write the text?" Yu Ban said: "Xianbei millions of horses, cattle and sheep, and the assets of our army." The last general thought that the large battalion of our army was lined up in a nine-palace gossip formation, and the battalions looked around each other, and if the enemy army came, they would respond to each other; Grain and grass are heavy, placed in the Chinese army, properly protected. Liu Ze said: "The text is drawn with pen and ink, and everyone will refer to it." Yu Ban spread out a big piece of paper, drew it by hand, and saw that the various camps were dotted around, the rules were orderly, there were passages between the villages, and the inside of the camp was full of doors. Explain while drawing in the ban, which is equivalent to the ban on putting the pen, Liu Ze was overjoyed, and ordered the generals to carry out according to the forbidden arrangement.

The Jizhou army reserved 50,000 to guard against the Xianbei raid, and more than 200,000 people acted according to Yu Ban's arrangement. Millions of horses, cattle and sheep are raised separately, covering a huge area. Fortunately, the spring breeze has warmed, and the grassland grass grows vigorously, so there is no shortage of food for the livestock. Liu Ze was still not at ease, so he ordered some soldiers to collect hay, set up a forage field in the Chinese army, and piled up countless haystacks.

More than ten days later, the Jizhou Army completed the transformation of the camp, Liu Ze rode a horse and inspected it, and saw that the forbidden arrangement was in good order, and his heart was a little relieved. With an army of 270,000 and millions of livestock, it covers an extremely wide area, with a radius of about 100 square kilometers.

Datuo Xianbei had about 500,000 reinforcements, bypassing Danhan Mountain and rushing to the Xianbei royal court. With this number, the Great Tuoba Xianbei concentrated almost all the young and strong people in the tribe. More than 200,000 horses and horses in Xianbei in Hexi also rushed to the royal court. The other scattered tribes on the grassland got the information late, and after hearing the news, they gathered about 600,000 people and horses, and came to the royal court all over the sky.

Zhang Fei and Guo Jia lived up to their mission and successfully moved Gongsun Zhan, Li Dao and Guo Yan. Gongsun Chan took his younger brother Gongsun Fan and the general Tian Yu as his general, and the handsome army came to aid with 100,000, including Gongsun Zhan's absolute trump card main force, and Bai Ma Yi from 20,000; Li Dao and Guo Yan sent Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu to lead an army of 100,000 and came from the state with Guo Jia and Zhao Yun. All of a sudden, there was a storm at the foot of Danhan Mountain, gathering nearly two million troops.

In Xiangping City, Xi Zhicai held the battle report from Liu Ze in his hand, worried, the Han coalition army was less than 500,000 people, and the Xianbei people were concentrated more than 1.3 million, and the balance of strength was too great. Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Le Jin and others have already read Liu Ze's battle report, and they are frowning one by one, thinking about countermeasures. Le Jin said angrily: "The Ming public is outnumbered, there are still more than 200,000 troops in Jizhou, all of whom are veterans of a hundred battles. Xi Zhicai said: "Wen Qian, you are a general in Jizhou, how can you leave lightly." "Liu Ze sent troops to Xianbei, and the personnel of the shogunate were adjusted, Xi Zhicai was engaged in Zhizhong, Guo Jia was engaged in Beijia, Xun Yu was engaged in Shucao, Jia Xu was engaged in Bing Cao, Xu Shu was engaged in the ministry and county, and Le Jin was engaged in Liaoyang Hou and Jizhou General. Le Jin also understood the reason why Liu Ze let him sit in Jizhou, after all, he was the old man who had followed Liu Ze for the longest time, and when he heard what Xi Zhicai said, he couldn't help but say: "Shall I sit and watch the success or failure of Ming Gong?" Jia Xu said: "The Xianbei rabble, there are only more than 500,000 soldiers who can fight. Ming Gong is good at using soldiers, and he is supplemented by filial piety, and the war will become a stalemate. If the Ming Duke is lacking, the reserves are also, it is better to let Wen Qian choose one or two cadres, lead the cavalry to guard, strong bows and crossbows, arrows, knives and guns, and quickly send them to the foot of Danhan Mountain. Xun Yu said: "Jizhou is stable, and there is no threat to the surrounding troops, so it is better to send elite cavalry to go first and escort supplies with a large army to increase the strength of the Ming Gong." Xi Zhicai said: "That being the case, Wen Qian arranged for the elite cavalry to go first, send 50,000 troops, carry more grain and grass materials, and send them to the foot of Danhan Mountain as soon as possible." Jia Xu stood up and said: "Training soldiers in battle, this is the initiative of Xu, clinker trapped Ming Gong in danger, Jia Xu is not talented, I am willing to follow the army, rush to the foot of Danhan Mountain, help Ming Gong." Xu Shu stood up and said, "I am willing to accompany Mr. Jia with you." ”

In the big tent of the Jizhou army, Liu Ze held a banquet for Gongsun Fan, Tian Yu, and Zhang Xiu. Gongsun Fan and the others saw Liu Ze facing a strong enemy, talking and laughing freely, without the slightest sadness on his face, and secretly admired in his heart. Tian Yu saw that the wine was almost drunk, and said: "There are more than one million Xianbei people, I don't know what Liu Jizhou's countermeasures are?" Liu Ze smiled, looked at the general who guarded the northern frontier for Cao Cao, and saw that he had a fierce face and a calm demeanor, so he said: "I don't know what good plan the general has for the country?" Tian Yu didn't expect Liu Ze to ask rhetorically, and said: "The enemy is outnumbered, Yu is ashamed, and there is no good plan." Liu Ze said: "Xianbei rabble, vainly trying to win by quantity, don't you know that the soldiers are not expensive, Ze wants to wait for the Xianbei soldiers and horses to arrive, and then break it." Zhang Xiu was surprised, there are currently millions of Xianbei around the coalition army, how can Liu Jizhou say that the Xianbei people have not yet arrived? Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu asked, "I don't know how many people in Xianbei have not yet arrived?" Liu Ze smiled: "It is estimated that there are still 300,000." Zhang Xiu and the others were shocked, fighting in a guest place, the difference between the enemy and me was so great, I couldn't help but secretly regret in my heart, I shouldn't have come to this troubled water.

Lord Xianbei of Hexi abandoned humility and consulted with Tuoba Xianbei's big leader, Tuoba Division, wanting to fight with the coalition army and boost morale. The two army camps of Youzhou and Bingzhou are located in the rear of the Jizhou camp, although they are at an angle with the Jizhou camp, if they want to attack, they have to face the pincer attack of the Jizhou army, so the two discussed that they will attack the southwest corner of the Jizhou army camp tomorrow to see how the coalition forces react.

The Abandonment and Tuoba divisions each sent 50,000 troops to challenge the camp in Jizhou. The southwest corner of the village is Zang Ba guard, Zang Ba stood on the wall, saw a general in front of his village to show off his might, riding a blue-maned horse, holding a machete, wearing cowhide armor, the face is vicious, it is the general Tuoba Tao under the Tuoba Division. Tuoba Tao showed off for a while, and when he saw that the Jizhou camp did not move, he scolded loudly, but it was a pity that the Jizhou army couldn't understand a word, and wasted Tuoba Tao's saliva in vain. Seeing that no one should fight, Tuoba was about to let Tuoba Tao return to the battle, the army was preparing to attack the camp, the gate of the Jizhou military camp was opened, and a general wearing black armor, riding a fiery red horse, holding a spear, killed Tuoba Tao.

Tuoba Tao conceited himself as a warrior in the clan, can fight a pack of wolves, bare-handed tigers, see the Jizhou army out of a general, can't help but be overjoyed, prancing horse to kill over. Tuoba Tao said in a stiff Chinese dialect: "Who is coming? I don't kill nameless ghosts. The general shouted: "Your grandfather Zang Ba is also." Tuoba Tao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you a grandfather or a fourth master?" Zang Ba almost burst out laughing, "I'm your fourth grandfather." Tuoba Tao was furious, "The fourth grandfather of my family has been dead for many years, you dare to pretend to be the fourth grandfather of my family, come and die." "It turns out that Tuoba Tao has always admired his fourth grandfather as a human being, and now Zang Ba is pretending to be his fourth grandfather, how can he not be angry? Zang Ba saw that Tuoba Tao was crooked, and had the idea of teasing him in his heart, so he said: "Slow down, slow down, I am the reincarnation of your fourth grandfather." "Xianbei people fear the sky, believe in ghosts and gods, and attach great importance to their promises, otherwise the Xianbei people will not flock to the wolf smoke of the Sweat Mountain. Seeing that Zang Ba said solemnly, Tuoba Tao slowed down, looked at Zang Ba carefully, and saw that he had no resemblance to his fourth grandfather, and was puzzled, and suddenly remembered that the fourth grandfather in the family had only been dead for ten years, and the generals on the opposite side were twenty-seven or eight, knowing that they had been teased by the other party, they couldn't help but be furious, and swung their knives to kill Zang Ba. Zang Ba raised his gun rack to open up the big knife of Batao, and deliberately shouted: "Grandson Turtle, why don't you recognize your fourth grandfather." Tuoba Tao opened his mouth and didn't know how to respond, Zang Ba's spear smashed into Tuoba Tao's neck with the sound of the wind, Tuoba Tao sensed the danger and hurriedly parried, Zang Ba danced the big gun, a shot was faster than a shot, grabbing the gun was not far from Tuoba Tao's vital point, Tuoba Tao blocked left and right, and after a while, he was out of breath, Zang Ba saw the opportunity, and a shot pierced Tuoba Tao's heart, Tuoba Tao's big knife knocked, the tip of the gun was offset, and pierced Tuoba Tao's lower abdomen. The guards on the wall saw that the lord was mighty and shouted together. Tuoba Tao leaned back, avoiding the spear piercing his abdomen, and returned to his own camp with his horse.

Seeing that the battle would be unfavorable, the Tuoba division ordered the army to attack the wall.
