The sky gradually darkened, and under Jiuquan City, the Xiongnu army had already surrounded Jiuquan City. Just wait for tomorrow to launch an attack on Jiuquan City, and the Huns' big tent is like daylight.

On the walls of Jiuquan City, the soldiers guarding the city were already in place, and they took turns to be on duty at night, and some of them were already sitting on the spot and falling asleep against the city wall.

On the south side of the city, there is a three-story tower, in which a large number of crossbowmen are hidden. Li Wei wore armor and held a sword to inspect the city defense, accompanied by Ling Huqian and others.

"General Linghu, the safety of Jiuquan City depends on you, you must hold on." Li Wei looked at the Hun camp under the city, and sighed solemnly.

"Please rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to the trust of the prince!" Ling Huqian, who was covered in black armor, knelt down on one knee and saluted and said.

"Okay. If it weren't for the fact that General Tang Lao couldn't afford to be sick now, it wouldn't be like this. ”

Li Wei glanced at Suo Xun on his side and walked towards the city. Suo Xun was glanced at by Li Wei, and felt that the sweat on his body had soaked his clothes.

After Suo Xun lost more than 10,000 soldiers in the northern camp of Lechuan City and was demoted to a former lieutenant, he even encouraged Li Xin to attack the Huns who occupied the northern camp of Lejun City when Li Xin was in command of the Lejun camp, but not only fell into a deep siege but also lost the Lejun camp.

When Li Wei's deep eyes looked at Suo Xun, Suo Xun couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

In the mansion that was rewarded to Li Yan in the east of the city, the Linghu clan learned that Li Yan might lead the army back to Jiuquan City tomorrow, and he never fell asleep.

"Xin'er, Yan'er will be back tomorrow. You have to tidy up his house, and put an extra quilt in the cold. Linghu turned back to Xin'er and admonished.

"Yes! Madam! Xin'er behind Linghu replied.

"I don't know if Yan'er, this kid has grown taller in the past half a year, and he must have been tanned after the hardships in the army." Ling Hu closed his eyes and said to himself.

"Madam, it's getting late, you should rest early."

"It's good! Tomorrow, you have to pay more attention to the news of Yan'er, and come and tell me as soon as you have any news. Linghu commanded.

With the siege of the Huns in Jiuquan City, each family had different thoughts, and Song Miao had been discussing important matters in Li Hui's study in the Liangwang Mansion until midnight.

"Master, you're finally back." As soon as Song Miao arrived at the gate of the house, he was greeted by a steward.

"Hmmm! What's the matter? Song Miao asked when he saw the steward's expression of wanting to speak and stopped.

"If you go back to the master, there are already more than a dozen adults waiting for the master in the house." The steward welcomed Song Miao into the mansion and said.

As soon as Song Miao heard that the guests were coming from the house, he quickened his pace, and as soon as he arrived outside the hall, he heard someone arguing in the hall.

"Lord Song, you're back." As soon as Song Miao entered the hall, everyone in the hall surrounded him.

"Adults are visiting, Song is looking forward to forgiveness, I don't know what is the important thing for you to come here late at night?" Song Miao nodded slightly to everyone in the hall and said.

Everyone in the hall is from the big families in Hexi, and people with heads and faces in the clans such as the Yin family and the Ma family all came, all of them looking at Song Miao with anxious faces.

"Lord Song, this Hun thief is about to attack the city, does your lord have a strategy to defend against the enemy?" An old man from the Zhang family asked.

"Lord Zhang, how can this old man who is besieged by Hun thieves not know? It's just that this strategy to resist the enemy, with the current situation of my Daliang, is nothing more than holding on to the city, or waiting for reinforcements from Gaochang and Xihai to relieve the siege. Song Miao couldn't help but feel upset when he looked at everyone's gossip.

"Lord Song, isn't there any other way? This time, the 60,000 Xiongnu army can be said to be pouring in, and the lower officials thought that even if reinforcements arrived, they would not necessarily be the opponents of the Hun thieves. ”

"Lord Liu is reasonable!" Everyone in the hall nodded yes.

"Lord Song, there is a sentence that the lower officials don't know whether to say or not?" The old man surnamed Liu arched his hand towards Song Xuan.

"Oh? Lord Liu, please speak! Song Miao sat down and took a sip of hot tea and said.

"Lord Song, now that the Hun thieves are in full swing, these Hun thieves are just for a little money, it is better to persuade the prince to cede Jiankang County to Pseudo Liang, and then give them some gold and silver treasures, and the Huns will naturally withdraw their troops." The old man surnamed Liu hesitated for a moment and then revealed his thoughts and thoughts.

"Lord Liu, you~ How can you have such an idea? Which inch of my cool land was not won by the soldiers in front of me in a bloody battle? How can you give it up so easily? Song Xuan's face flushed when he heard this.

"Lord Song, having said that, but now my Daliang soldiers are outnumbered, and they are not enough to defeat the Huns, and the lower officials are also thinking about my Daliang society." The old man surnamed Liu couldn't help sighing as he spoke.

"Isn't that what you all think?" Song Xuan looked around the hall and asked.

"Lord Song, I am here tonight for the sake of my cool society! I hope Lord Song can understand our good intentions. Everyone spoke out one after another.

"This matter can be discussed later, it is late tonight, so go back and rest." Song Miao got up and gave the order to evict the guest.

"Lord Song, I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible." Before everyone left, they didn't remind Song Xuan.

After everyone left, the cup in Song Xuan's hand was shattered.

"Humph! It's all a bunch of selfish cowards! Song Miao sighed.

These people are all big families in Hexi, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land in the family, and there are groups of slaves. Now that the Huns are besieging Jiuquan, they are all afraid, not that they are worried that Daliang will be destroyed by the Huns, but that once the Huns break through Jiuquan City, their belongings will be gone.

"Sir, please stop being angry. It's not early, so let's rest early. The steward heard the movement and walked in, silently picking up the debris on the ground.

Wolf Valley, a place frequented by wild wolves. At this moment, the Zhenbei army is spending the night here, and tomorrow the fifth watch will set off and rush back to Jiuquan City.

Those wild wolves that often haunt on weekdays seem to smell the evil breath of the Zhenbei Army, and they hide far away, and they don't even hear the wolf howl.

"General, are you looking for me?" Li Yan came to Zhang Jing's big tent and saw Zhang Jing reading a book in the dim firelight.

"Oh! General Lee is here, sit down! ”

"Thank you, General! I wonder what the general commanded? Li Yan asked after sitting down.

"According to the scouts, the Huns have besieged Jiuquan City. I wonder what General Lee can do to break the enemy? Zhang Jing put down the book in his hand and looked worried.

"General Qiyu, the last general has no good way to break the enemy now, please show the general."

"This general has seen with his own eyes that the long knives used by the sergeants under General Li have unexpected and wonderful use against the cavalry of the Huns, I wonder how many such sharp weapons General Li has?" Zhang Jing glanced at Li Yan and said softly.

"General Qiyu, the name of this weapon is called Mo Knife, which is a sharp weapon used to deal with cavalry, but because the entire Mo Knife is made of stainless steel, the output is very small, and there are currently more than 200 Mo Knife." Li Yan knew that sooner or later someone would know about it, so he told Zhang Jing about Modao.

"More than two hundred! In the face of 60,000 Hun troops, it is still too little! Zhang Jing sighed deeply.

"What the general said is very true, but the forging technique of this Mo knife is extremely complicated, so it cannot be popularized in the whole army."

"I see, General Li should rest early!" Zhang Jing felt a sense of loss.

This time the Zhenbei army totaled more than 5,000 people to return to Jiuquan, Yang Shizhong led more than 1,000 old and weak to guard the Xihai City, a few days ago the Huns were taken by surprise by the Mo knife of the blood wolf guard, the Huns were killed by fear, and it is estimated that there are not enough troops to invade the West Sea again.

These Zhenbei troops are all sergeants who have experienced life and death battles, more than 3,000 infantry troops are led by Iron Hammer, and there are 2,000 cavalry with thunder, and most of the ordnance in Xihai City has been emptied.

At the fifth watch, Zhang Jing led the Zhenbei Army to march towards Jiuquan City.

After dawn, the Zhenbei army crossed Beishan and was less than fifty miles away from Jiuquan City. Zhang Jing ordered the whole army to rest in place and sent scouts to inquire about the news.

"The whole army obeyed the order, and now it is close to Jiuquan City, the Huns are close at hand, and the time has come to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, let's go!" Half an hour later, Zhang Jing gave an order to the Zhenbei Army.

Under Jiuquan City, the Huns have begun to attack Jiuquan City, and in the south of Jiuquan City, more than ten trebuchets of the Huns are throwing boulders at Jiuquan City.

Huge stones were thrown from the trebuchet and smashed on the head of Jiuquan City, some of the sergeants who had no time to dodge were smashed by the boulders falling from the sky, and some of the sergeants were hit by the broken stones after falling to the ground, and they were immediately seriously injured.

The Huns used the power of trebuchets to fiercely suppress the Xiliang army at the head of the city.

Hundreds of cloud ladders were set up on the head of Jiuquan City, and the Huns bit their scimitars and climbed up to Jiuquan City.

"Quick! Stone the thieves down! The Xiliang army at the head of the city watched the dense Huns cross the moat by the ladder and crawl towards the city.

"Kill!" Some Huns braved the stones and logs of the Xiliang army, kicked onto the head of Jiuquan City, and killed the Xiliang army.

The people in Jiuquan City. At the risk of being hit by stones thrown by the Huns' trebuchets, the fortification equipment was transported to the head of the city under the supervision of a sergeant armed with an ordnance.

"Governor, scouts are here! A large force of the Xiliang army was found in the north of Jiuquan City, and it is estimated that the Zhenbei army of Xiliang has arrived. "Frustrated Qu walked into the big tent for a hundred years and reported to Frustrated Qu.

"What do you say? Zhenbei Army? Frustrated Qu asked.

"Governor, according to the scout's description, it is estimated to be the Zhenbei Army."

"General Zang Mohao, what does he eat? The governor has ordered him to only delay the return time of the Zhenbei Army, but I didn't expect that the Zhenbei Army really came to Jiuquan, how many people did they come? Frustrated Qu asked.

"Back to the governor, it is estimated that there are about 5,000 people." Fuqu Bainian said in a low voice.

"The hundred-year-old general obeyed the order, and this governor ordered you to lead 10,000 troops, and be sure to wipe out the Zhenbei army under Jiuquan City, and never let them interfere with the siege of the city. Hum! Frustrated Qu snorted.

"Yes! The last will obey! Fuqu gave a salute to Fuqu for a hundred years, and then led the troops to kill the Zhenbei army in the north of Jiuquan City.
