Chapter 184: Soldiers Descend on the City

On the morning of May 11, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji had just handed over the 750 trapped camp soldiers obtained by lottery to Gao Shun, and the vanguard of the 16 tribes of the grassland came to the outside of Chengyin City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Immediately, a steady stream of Hu cavalry came to Chengyin City from the direction of Xishan Pass, and the leaders of the Sixteen Clans Alliance of the Grassland also arrived at Chengyin City soon after.

Lou Fu Great Khan Min Gray rode on his war horse, looked at the dense defenders on the wall of Chengyin City in the distance, and said to the Great Khan and King Zong of the other clans on both sides of him: "Judging from the situation on the city wall, the Jin people should be quite well prepared to defend the city, and we don't want to easily capture Chengyin City without paying a certain price." ”

Wuheng Khan Shuerha nodded and said: "To be able to defeat the armies of Wuheng and Lou Fu in a row, and destroy the Cangxiong tribe of the Lou Fu tribe, the strength of this Jin army can be imagined, our sixteen clan alliance forces want to capture Chengyin City, casualties are inevitable, this Great Khan sees, don't attack the city today, let the warriors of all ethnic groups set up camp around Chengyin City, build the equipment used in the siege, we must be prepared for a long-term siege." ”

By the night of 11 May, hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry had surrounded Chengyin City, and built temporary camps in all four directions outside Chengyin City, but these camps were very rudimentary, and the fences around the camps were not built, but only composed of patches of felt bags.

After all, the total strength of the alliance of the sixteen tribes of the grassland is as high as 520,000, and the leaders of the various tribes of the alliance army do not think that the Jin army in Chengyin City has any chance of struggling, it is completely a turtle in the urn, and it doesn't matter whether the fence of the camp is repaired or not.

After the grassland sixteen clan alliance army came to Chengyin City, Liu Ji took some generals under his command and transferred a circle on the city wall with a circumference of twelve miles, Liu Ji sighed to dozens of generals around him and said: "This general estimates that this grassland alliance army is at least more than 300,000 people, and may even far exceed this number, in order to defend Chengyin City, we can only fight hard this time!" ”

Le Yi said comfortingly: "Lord, we have 34,000 soldiers in Chengyin City, plus the walls of Chengyin City are high and strong, and the city walls in the east, west, north and south directions are only three miles long, the advantage of the Hu people's strength will be offset when attacking the city, so even if the Hu people's troops are ten times more than ours, don't think about breaking through Chengyin City!" ”

Originally, there were more than 33,000 defenders in Chengyin City, plus the 750 soldiers trapped in the camp made by Liu Ji, the total strength had exceeded 34,000.

Liu Ji nodded and said: "General Ben has always maintained confidence in holding Chengyin City, but after all, the Hu people outside the city have too many more troops than us, after the outbreak of the battle to defend the city, everyone must be cautious!" By the way, are all four gates blocked? ”

Wei Xiaokuan said: "Lord, the eastern, southern and western city gates are all blocked with earth and stones, only the north city gate is still left, the brothers are ready to give the Hu people a dismount to boost the morale of the soldiers!" ”

In this world, in the war between the enemy and us, fighting generals are almost indispensable, Wei Xiaokuan said to give the Hu people a dismount, Liu Ji knew that Wei Xiaokuan was referring to the killing of the Hu generals among the fighting generals.

At this time, among the four top generals under Liu Ji's command, only Chen Hao was alone in Chengyin City, but there were also two first-class generals in the city, Wang Bodang and He Ruobi, and Liu Ji was not afraid of fighting with the grassland coalition army.

Liu Ji immediately said: "Since the North City Gate is not blocked, then you must be more careful at the North City Gate, don't let Hu Lu take advantage of the loophole." ”

Liu Ji then looked at the dense felt bags of the grassland coalition army in the distance, touched his chin and said: "It seems that this grassland coalition army is quite arrogant, and it is not afraid that General Ben will attack the camp at night." ”

After a night of silence, on the morning of May 12, the leaders of the 16 clans of the coalition army, with more than 100,000 cavalry of various nationalities, set up a formation outside the north gate of Chengyin City.

The high-spirited Lou Fu Khan Min Gray sent a guard to ride to the north gate of Chengyin City, and shouted to the defenders on the city wall in Jin dialect: "Listen to the Jin people on the city wall, today's grassland sixteen clan alliance alliance leader Lou Fu Min Gray Khan, led the sixteen tribes 520,000 cavalry army, soldiers to Chengyin City, if you Jin people know each other, quickly open the city gate and surrender, otherwise when the sixteen clan alliance army breaks the city, Chengyin City will not be left with a single grass!" ”

At this time, Liu Ji was standing on the north city wall with many generals under his command, and when he heard the Hu cavalry under the city shouting out an army of 520,000, Liu Ji couldn't help but gasp.

Liu Ji knows that the grassland tribes are different from the Great Jin, the army of the Great Jin Dynasty will generally say more about their own troops, sometimes more than 10,000 people, dare to claim to be 200,000 troops, but the grassland tribes disdain to exaggerate the number of troops, under normal circumstances, they are real, since it is said to be 520,000 troops, this grassland coalition army must have 520,000 Hu cavalry.

However, at this time, there were 5.2 million Hu cavalry outside the city, and Liu Ji and they could only fight hard, and there was no reason to surrender without a fight.

Liu Ji immediately gave He Ruobi, the captain of the guard battalion next to him, a look, and He Ruobi immediately shouted loudly to the city: "If you want to fight, you will fight, what's the use of talking so much nonsense?" Grandpas are waiting on the city wall for you hulu to die! ”

The guard under the city, who was the Great Khan Min Gray, heard the shouts of He Ruobi on the city wall, and did not feel strange, if he shouted two words, the Jin army in Chengyin City would surrender, and the alliance army of the sixteen tribes of the grassland would not gather an army of 520,000.

The guard then turned his horse and returned to the side of the Great Khan Min Gray, "Great Khan, the Jin people in the city refuse to surrender. ”

Min Gray turned his head and smiled and said to the Great Khan and the Sect King of the other clans: "Before the large-scale siege of the city, let's show the martial arts of our warriors of all clans in front of the Jin people!" It also boosts the morale of our sixteen clan alliances, which clan's warriors are willing to fight and call for a jackpot? ”

Chaganlar, the Great Khan of the Ding Ling Clan, immediately answered: "Alliance Leader, it is better to let our warriors of the Ding Ling Clan behave in front of the allied forces of all clans and take down the heads of several Jin generals!" ”

Without hesitation, Mingray said, "Good! Chaganlar Great Khan, let all the clans see the strength of the warriors of the Ding Ling clan! ”

The Great Khan of the Shatuo Clan next to him, seeing that Mingrei asked the Ding Ling clan to send warriors to take the lead, pursed his lips disdainfully, the relationship between the Ding Ling clan and the Lou Fu clan was there, and Min Gray gave the opportunity to perform like this to the Ding Ling clan, and the evil Zhiyi was not surprised.

However, the Great Khan of the Ding Ling Clan, Chagan Lal, did not deal with the evil Zhiyi, and the evil Zhiyi heard that the Jin army in Chengyin County was like a cloud, and the evil Zhiyi hoped that the Ding Ling clan could make a big mistake this time.

When the leaders of the other clans heard that Mingray had asked the Ding Zero clan to send warriors to fight, they looked at each other and acquiesced.
