Yejiabao was intensively preparing for war, and all kinds of materials were transported into Yejiabao one by one.

Three trenches have been dug outside Yejiabao, and two rows of low walls have been built.

The walls of Yejiabao are not high, much shorter than Xiangping City, but due to the huge investment of Yejiabao and the very sufficient manpower, the outer wall of Yejiabao is very strong.

As for the grain, as early as the construction of Yejiabao, a lot of warehouses were dug underneath, and now there is enough food, enough water, and many wells have been dug, so I am not afraid of cutting off the water.

Now the main thing is that there are not enough bows and arrows, bows and arrows are such things, the Ye family did not dare to blatantly manufacture and use them before, and Ye Chen secretly prepared some after seeing the assassin Guo Xun.

Now there is no need to keep it secret at all, and the manufacturing that is released is just not much for a while.

At present, the Ye family has about 800 bows, and as for the arrows, they have reserved 20,000 arrows before, but 20,000 arrows can't shoot a few rounds at all.

Therefore, Ye Chen has now ordered people to rush to make it, making it day and night, how much can be made, and one more will have a better chance of winning.

"The Wuhuan cavalry has broken through Liaoyang and Houcheng"

"Wuhuan marched towards Gao Xian."

Wuhuan was a little slower than expected, and Tai Shici arrived at Gao Xian on the third day, but after Gao Xian, it was Xiangping.

There was not much time left for Ye Chen to prepare.

Guan Yu had already gone out with enough grain and grass to find hidden places and survey the terrain as early as that day.

"Wuhuan broke through Gao Xian."

"Wuhuan is coming to Xiangping."

"20,000 Wuhuan killed Xiangping, and 10,000 killed Xiangping."

"Wuhuan is only half a day away from Xiangping."

"Wuhuan is only two hours away from Xiangping."

"Wuhuan will arrive in an hour."

The information from the front kept coming, the Ye family had already entered the Ye family fort, but there were still some of them that could not enter, Ye Chen asked them to hide in the mountains, if the home was destroyed, the Ye family promised to help them rebuild.

Everyone believes in the promise of the Ye family, because the Ye family has been very good to them in the past year, and everyone is grateful to the Ye family.

Therefore, the evacuation of the Ye family went very smoothly, and the farm personnel and food outside the city were evacuated, leaving only empty rooms.

Xiangping City was besieged, and more than 20,000 people had been prepared to defend the city before it was besieged.

The total number of officers and soldiers in the city is only more than 3,000 people, and the rest are private soldiers of various families, and it is not yet time to recruit strong men, but they are also ready to recruit strong men, otherwise once the city is broken, no one will inevitably be looted.

Li Wei also sent someone to find Ye Chen, and Ye Chen said that Ye Jiabao would definitely come to attack in this Wuhuan, and he could help Xiangping City share part of his troops when the time came.

Li Wei also wanted to ask everyone in the Ye family to withdraw into Xiangping City and increase their defensive strength, after all, the Ye family was able to exterminate the bandits before, and their combat effectiveness was still very strong.

However, Ye Chen said that it was okay to withdraw into Xiangping City, but it was necessary to withdraw all the tenants of the Ye family.

Li Wei disagreed, Ye Chen didn't want to go in, so the matter was over.

"Here we are." Ye Chen and Tai Shici stood side by side, and the tiger head was also guarding Ye Chen's left and right, as for the other young generals, Lu Wolf, Zhou Nan and others were assigned to defend against the enemy in different directions.

"Han people, open the door and hand over the grain, money and women." A Wuhuan man at the head of the group was shaking a bright knife in his hand and shouted outside Yejiabao.

"Haha..."

The Wuhuan people who came with him didn't take Yejiabao in their eyes at all, and laughed there.

"Big brother, it seems that we have been underestimated, and there are only three thousand soldiers and horses here." Ye Chen looked at the grassland cavalry below and said calmly.

"Second brother, we are fully capable of eating these 3,000 soldiers and horses, whether to eat them or not." Tai Shi Ci looked ahead, and he didn't look at the three thousand Wuhuan people at all.

These are untrained soldiers, and although they are very capable of fighting individually, this kind of collective combat will cause them to suffer a great loss.

"Eating them will attract more Wuhuan cavalry, and we will help Xiangping City share the pressure, but Xiangping City will not come to share the pressure with us."

Ye Chen thought very clearly, if he had the ability, he would definitely help Xiangping City, but Xiangping City was in chaos, and no one could command all the combat forces, as long as they could keep Xiangping City, they would not want to take any more risks.

Tai Shi Ci nodded to show that he understood what Ye Chen meant.

Ye Chen wanted to delay for a while, and wait for Xiangping City to hold on before he made a move, so that Xiangping City could consume more Wuhuan troops, and his losses would be much smaller at that time.

"The last intelligence officer came back and said that the Wuhuan people went all the way down and lost 5,000 soldiers and horses, and now there are 25,000, 3,000 here, 10,000 for the Liao team, and 15,000 for Xiangping City."

"Xiangping City is more of a county office, the city is high and thick, and the major families in it can gather a lot of private soldiers, plus the materials and preparations inside are also relatively sufficient, it should consume thousands of soldiers and horses, and our Ye family will consume thousands of soldiers and horses here, if other counties can support it, then these Wuhuan people will not be able to run."

Ye Chen stood on the wall and analyzed.

In fact, what Ye Chen said was a bit idealistic, it might not be difficult to repel Wu Huan, but it would be difficult to leave them behind.

Now the guards of the city are all guard battalions, Ye Chen didn't speak, then the scene was silent, and the soldiers looked coldly below, without any movement.

When those Wuhuan people saw that Yejiabao had no one paying attention to them, they immediately became angry, waved their knives, and prepared to attack.

The Wuhuan people circled Yejiabao and found that some trenches had been dug outside Yejiabao.

They tried to fill in the trenches, but there were no tools around, and the cavalry could not rush through for a while.

These three trenches are not far from each other, and if the war horse can jump over the first trench, then there is no room to run and jump over the second trench. Then the cavalry has no impact and no combat effectiveness, and the bows and arrows on the city walls can easily kill them.

The Wuhuan people fought with cavalry, and now they found that they couldn't rush, and for a while they didn't know how to fight.

At this distance, the bow and arrow can only be shot in front of the city wall, and the effect will not be too good.

"Cunning Han Chinese." Uton led the team to attack Yejiabao this time, and he thought it would be an easy job, but he didn't expect to run into trouble this time.

"Just fill in the trenches for me, and fill in a few roads for the cavalry to charge." Udon had always believed that as long as the cavalry could charge, there was no force to stop it.

"Young master, they are starting to fill in the outermost trench, should we shoot with bows and arrows?" The tiger head looked at the Wuhuan people below and was not afraid at all, but was already eager to try.

"No, they won't be able to get it in two hours, so let them fill it first, we don't have many bows and arrows, and we can't set a few people to die at this distance."

Ye Chen is delaying time, he must let Wuhuan consume more troops in Xiangping City, otherwise as soon as there is a counterattack here, all the Wuhuan cavalry will surround him, then Yejiabao will be in danger.

At this time, the battle on the side of Xiangping City had begun, Yejiabao was not far from Xiangping City, and the Wuhuan people first surrounded Xiangping City before they found that there was such a large Wubao here.

In Xiangping City, the Wuhuan cavalry will shoot a rain of arrows every time they attack, and no rain of arrows will take away a lot of people.

On the side of Yejiabao, you can already hear the shouts of killing on the side of Xiangping City.

The resistance of Xiangping City exceeded the expectations of the Wuhuan people, and several attacks only killed and injured many people, and they also suffered a lot of casualties.

After all, the walls of Xiangping City are much taller and thicker, and after a few days of preparation, the materials for defending the city are also much more sufficient.

"Sons, kill me."

The Wuhuan people rushed over again, and there were still dozens of meters away from the city wall, they shot a shower of arrows on their horses, and suddenly the people in the city turned on their backs, with many casualties, and even the strength of the counterattack was very scarce, only a small number of arrows were shot, and the damage to the Wuhuan people was limited.

Soon, the Wuhuan people rushed under the city walls, but their arrow rain never stopped.

The defenders of the city could only brave the rain of arrows to fight back, and the rolling wood and stones were sparsely smashed down from the city, although they also smashed a lot of Wuhuan people, but their own damage was not less than theirs.

This defense of the city is even more than the damage of the siege, this fight is very undeserved, this is mainly because there is no unified command on the city, and there is no trace of coordination.

However, after all, there are many people on the city wall, although there is a rain of arrows, but it is condescending, and the effect is still quite large.

The Wuhuan people left more than 300 corpses behind and retreated, and this wave of impact caused more than 600 dead and wounded on the city wall.

The Wuhuan people retreated and began to form a team, and soon they could form another wave of impact.

The war horses galloped, the earth trembled, and the defenders on the city wall were under great pressure, especially in their hearts.

"Put"

A hundred meters after the war horse entered the city wall, one person led by Wuhuan shouted.

"Whoosh"

The arrows took advantage of the impact of the horse's momentum, and a rain of arrows came again, and many people on the city wall trembled with fear when they heard this sound, after all, they had never experienced such a battle.

"Quick, quick, defensive."

After a rain of arrows, the Wuhuan people had already rushed under the city wall and were attacking the city gate.

"Archer, shoot." The defender Sima shouted from the city wall.

Eventually, your own archers fired, but the messy and loose arrows were only of limited damage.

The place where the bows and arrows had just been issued on the city wall immediately attracted the revenge of the Wuhuan people, and a small rain of arrows immediately came to their heads.

"Ahh

There were a few screams, and nearly half of the archers on the city wall were killed and wounded, and the bows and arrows on the city wall became even more scarce for a while.

"Roll the wood and prepare, put."

Gradually, the city walls adapted to this kind of death, overcame their fear a little, and resisted under the leadership of Jun Sima.

This resistance was not strong, but this made the Wuhuan people who had no siege equipment helpless for a while.

In this way, the two sides were tug-of-war, some Wuhuan people were attacking the city wall, and a wave of people dozens of meters away were shooting arrows at the city wall, preventing them from counterattacking.

After all, there are many people in Xiangping City, and the consumption cannot be broken so quickly.
