When he left Huangyuan City, the 4,000 soldiers that Xue Baijing had collected in Fengxiang Mansion arrived in a hurry, and finally did not delay the date.

Now Gao Yue counted the number of troops to reinforce Huating, and there are the following numbers:

Fengxiang Yining Army has 8,000 generals, including 2,000 Ma Army;

Su Taiping didn't dare to save Huating before, and brought back 1,500 Longzhou archers;

Xue Baijing's reinforcements came with 4,000 Fengxiang archers;

There are also 6,000 anti-autumn Xuanwu soldiers brought by Liu Chang from Huangyuan, including 800 Ma soldiers;

A total of 19,500 paces.

Soon in front of the Qinwang Temple in the west of Huangyuan City, Gao Yue issued the deployment of the march in front of Yining and Xuanwu generals:

"Although Huating City is small, it cannot be lost, the Holy Lord personally wrote the imperial book, and ordered my Yining Army, Xuanwu Army, and Dingwu Army to reinforce with all their might. Why? Since coming to Xifan to enter the Kou, most of them from Longshan Road to Longzhou, and then Yuehuating invaded back to the middle road and forced Jingshi. Huating County out of three rivers to the east, respectively, Weishui, Heishui, Daxichuan, these three rivers are all injected into Jingchuan, Weishui Lianyunbao, Heishui Lianliangyuan City, Daxichuan even Baili City, such as Huating a loss, the brigade of Fan Cavalry can break into the hinterland of Jingzhou along these three rivers, the place is mostly flat and scattered, and many canals and fields, is the northwest town camp field, such as the Fan Riding flat destruction of the canal, trampling on the grange, the two years of camp work will be ruined in a flash, what will be relied on in the future to support the army, stick to the pass, and defend the Beijing Division? Therefore, Huating is a hub related to the safety of Fengxiang, Jingyuan, and Jingshi, and Yue is tied to it, although he will not retreat! ”

Then Gao Yue pointed to the sand table: "Li Wanrong led the 4,000 Xuanwu soldiers left behind, and the 1,000 Longzhou archers in the camp city, stationed in Huangyuan City, and strictly prevented Xifan from continuing to increase troops from the Great Earthquake Pass;

To save Huating, Benyin has 20 battalions of generals of the Yining Army, 18 battalions of Fengxiang Longzhou archers, a total of 38 battalions, and 6,000 Xuanwu soldiers (Xuanwu Town did not implement the military reform in the northwest).

Here is the division of the command: Liu Zhongcheng (Chang) led 6,000 Xuanwu soldiers, living on the left flank of our army, along the Xiaolong Mountain west of Huating, covering Xifan to continue to cross Xiaolong Mountain from Qinzhou, to Huating City to increase troops, to Sanliang Palace, in the face of the enemy must not retreat and patrol, violators will not be forgiven;

Zhang Jingze, the commander of the Yining Army, led ten battalions of generals, namely seven battalions of infantry and three battalions of the horse army, who lived in the central front and attacked and advanced to Daxichuan, and fought when they encountered the enemy;

In the Yining Army, Yu Hou Fu Yu Huai, led the ten battalions of archers, marched on the right flank of our army, crossed the Xichuan and Heishui, and detoured to the east of Huating City to support Huating, or attacked and reinforced Huating, or planned to rush to the Xingjun Ya Department of Shence in the direction of Liangyuan City, or waited for the opportunity to occupy the Huating Limin Canal to prevent the destruction of the Xifan rangers;

There are also eight battalions of archers, led by Ju Wenzhen, the new Yining military envoy, and Su Pu, the new gunmen and horse envoy of Yining Army, this road is between Zhang Jingze and Fuyu Huaibu, scattered to attack, snatch the steep path, and have two objectives, or guard against the Fan cavalry to set up an ambush and sneak attack, or capture the cavalry of the Fan Zi who went out to plunder, cut off the grain and straw of the siege of Huating City, and collect the captive Huating people and livestock;

In the end, Ben Yin Zi commanded the remaining ten battalions of Yining's generals, the eight battalions of infantry and the second battalion of the horse army, and refused after Zhang Jingze's department five miles. ”

In the end, Gao Yue also appointed Fengxiang Shaoyin Xue Baijing as the "military food and material envoy", set up a military supply academy in Huangyang City, and coordinated the front-line supply of grain and forage with the assistance of Han Qingchu, the assassin Shi.

As soon as this deployment came out, Gao Yue emphasized that Ben Yin only looked at Ben Yin's troops, and supervised Zhang Jingze's troops in front, and other Liu Chang, Fuyu Huai, and Ju Wenzhen (Supu) units, "each with its own generals, each fighting for its own war", Ben Yin only gave the route and strategy, how to fight the specific situation, you can deal with it yourself, if there is any change in the enemy situation, you can send scouts to contact in time.

Just remember, don't violate the new "five beheadings" general order recently issued by the Holy Lord, the head is yours, and the sword that beheads people is in the hands of Ben Yin, don't follow Su Taiping's "You".

On October 29, the siege and defense of Huating City reached a white-hot situation again.

The canals and houses under the city were full of Xifan cavalry galloping to and fro, and the flames were soaring, and the people who had no time to escape, the strong ones were all taken captive and plundered, and they were to be placed in Longyou, Hexi, as slaves, while women, children and old people were all killed - and under the city of Huating County, the Xifan foot soldiers who were lined up in a fish-scale formation, surrounded by the rushing carts covered with cowhide and sheepskin, and the well railings with the stairs folded, launched a fierce offensive against the Tang family city located on the side platform of the water.

After that, Xu Li held his sword and watched his subordinates shouting, constantly dragging the cannon rope - more than a dozen stone throwing machines arranged by Xifan were constantly popping stone pills, roaring towards the head of Huating City and the city.

A few stone bullets were so accurate that they flew straight into the only well in the city, and the wheels were smashed to pieces and raised high, and the two women who were drawing water were crushed under them, and only their white hands and feet were exposed, and blood flowed down the cracks in the masonry around the well.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the people who were hiding in various parts of the city to avoid the rain of arrows saw in horror that several huge stone bullets blocked the well, crushing the stone fences on all sides of the well, so that the entire spring was annihilated.

"The well has been blocked by a thief's stone!"

Cries of despair arose.

Fang Xianhe, the guard general who supervised the battle at the west city gate, frowned and scolded after hearing this shout, and collapsed behind the female wall, covering the arrow wound on his arm, and said to the soldiers beside him: "It's over, the food is still enough, but the water source has been smashed like this, and it can't hold on. ”

At this time, after a group of archers at the head of the city heard Fang's words, they hurriedly came over and hugged him and cried and said, We are not sorry to die, there are still more than 1,000 Huating people who have taken refuge in the city, if they fall into the hands of Xifan, they will all be tortured to death, and they must not surrender.

"I don't want to surrender, but I can't fight this battle!" Fang Xianhe shouted angrily, and then he pointed to the two peaks of the confrontation in the east of the city, each with a red flag on it: "The thieves occupy the Iron Plough Mountain, see the city is well understood, set up a banner to command the thieves to fly artillery to attack the city, like an eye, the original city wall, watchtower, and horse face have been destroyed, and now even the well has been sealed, and there is no way to fight......" Fang Xianhe held his head with his hands, and muttered in distress and despair, "More importantly, the reinforcements are not coming, and the Hun Shi Zhongzheng over there in Pingliang is fighting hard with another Western Fan army...... Previously, reinforcements came from Longzhou, and it was estimated that they would retreat a hundred miles away from the city. I can't fight, I can't fight! ”

At this time, the well railings and flying ladders of Xifan were re-built on the head of the city, and many heavily armored soldiers waved their swords, howled and rushed up, jumped into the horse-faced wall, and fought with the Tang army archers who held on.

After half an hour of bloody fighting, Xifan's flying ladder was burned and knocked down, and the well fence also died on the half-collapsed wall of Huating like several giant beasts, and there were fireworks everywhere all over the body, and Huating City was defended again.

But when the soldiers with chapped lips wanted to drink saliva with their bent and broken blades, they learned that the well had been blocked by flying stones.
