The fierce siege battle lasted until dusk, and the dead bodies were everywhere under the city, and the blood of countless soldiers almost soaked the land.

In the end, Dong Zhuojun did not break the gate of Tongguo.

After losing thousands of Dong Zhuo's soldiers, Dong Zhuo finally ordered the withdrawal of the army.

At this point, the whole day of offensive and defensive battles ended with Dong Zhuo's futile!

"Huyan Xiu Tu!"

"Huyan Xiu Tu!"

"Huyan Xiu Tu!"

……

Seeing the retreat of the Han army, the Hun soldiers defending the city on the wall of Tongguo City waved their weapons and let out bursts of earth-shattering cheers in unison.

Looking at this scene, Dong Zhuo's eyes showed a sigh.

"Let's go! Let's go back to camp. ”

At this time, all the soldiers had withdrawn to the camp, Dong Zhuo took one last look at the tall figure at the head of the city, and then took Xu Jiang and Ma Chao back to the camp.

That figure, Dong Zhuo Dong Zhuo stared at it for a whole day, it was that figure that let Dong Zhuo know that he underestimated the enemy.

The Huns, not without well-guarded generals, at least the figure at the head of the city, he can defend in an orderly manner.

It's a pity that the distance is too far for Dong Zhuo to see the specific appearance of the guards in the city.

Today, he lost as many as five or six thousand soldiers, and the Huns were only a little more than a thousand.

This casualty ratio made Dong Zhuo have an evil fire boiling in his heart.

That's it, half of the Hun soldiers were killed by catapults!

……

……

……

"Lord, the Huns' defense is not weak, if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that our army will not be able to capture Tongguo City even if it is all gone!"

Dong Zhuo's big tent in the army, Xu Jiang looked at Dong Zhuo with a gloomy face, and said cautiously.

Dong Zhuo's face was expressionless, and he said, "Then according to Baichuan's opinion, what should our army do next?" ”

Obviously, the futile return during the day, and even the loss of troops, made Dong Zhuo's mood quite bad.

"There are generals below you, and you also ask the Lord to decide."

Xu Jiang talked eloquently and said, "What's the next strategy, it's a night attack!" ”

Night Raid?

Dong Zhuo nodded slowly, which coincided with his own thoughts.

Dong Zhuo's idea during the day is to launch a fierce attack first, if he can take Tong Guo in one fell swoop, it is the best, if not, Dong Zhuo plans to attack at night.

It's just that today, looking at the orderly command of the Hun guards during the day, would you have thought that you would launch an attack at night?

Dong Zhuo has no bottom in his heart!

Shaking his head, Dong Zhuo looked at Xu Jiang and asked, "What's the best policy?" ”

He wanted to listen to Xu Jiang's best strategy before making a decision.

Xu Jiang saw Dong Zhuo's appearance, and he was obviously quite moved by the night attack, but he was only a little worried.

"Ahem!" Xu Jiang cleared his throat and said, "As for the best policy, our army can first surround Tongguo City, not attack for the time being, while building siege equipment such as catapults overnight, while waiting for General Jianyang and Zhang Yi and Li Su two troops and horses to join us, when the time comes, 80,000 troops will be together, and they will definitely be able to break Tongguo City in a short time." ”

Dong Zhuo first nodded, then frowned and shook his head.

Xu Jiang's best strategy seems simple and practical, but there is one thing that is crucial, that is, time.

Now that the situation is not stable, Dong Zhuo does not dare to delay in the slightest, he wants to urgently repel the Huns, because there is not much time left for him.

In fact, Xu Jiang is also aware that the situation in Bingzhou is not as calm as it seems on the surface.

Today's Bingzhou is like a pool of spring water, the surface is as flat as mirror water, but in fact, the dark tide is surging.

If there was no matter of Ding Yuan killing Wang Qiu, maybe he could still take his time, but now, Dong Zhuo has stood on the opposite side of the family in Bingzhou, and he can't say that those families will stab Dong Zhuo twice in the back when it is critical.

In fact, the best way is as Dong Zhuo said, the outside must first be inside.

However, in order to minimize the negative impact of the Ding Yuan incident, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to launch a war against the Huns at this time, praying for the merits of the first war to deter the families of the state from acting rashly.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo urgently needed to capture Tongguo in the shortest possible time, and then crossed the Yellow River and approached the Xiongnu royal court.

"Let's make a decision!"

Dong Zhuo decided to take the case, there is no way, what he lacks most now is time, only by cleaning up the Huns as soon as possible, can he return to Jinyang and fight with those big families.

At the same time, there is another point that does not allow Dong Zhuo to adopt the best strategy, although Dong Zhuo has been the assassin of the state before, but that is already in the past, in the current state army, Dong Zhuo is still a newcomer, he must personally fight a few victories to establish his prestige in the state army.

If he waited for the convergence of the two armies of Ding Yuan and Zhang Yi and Li Su, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce Dong Zhuo's prestige, which would be very unfavorable to Dong Zhuo.

Otherwise, the soldiers will discuss in private, Dong Zhuo can't beat Tongguo, and he has to rely on Ding Yuan, once this situation happens, it will be very unfavorable to Dong Zhuo's future deployment of the Bingzhou army.

In the final analysis, Dong Zhuo is still an outsider, not a native of Bingzhou, and in this era, regional discrimination is very serious.

This was something Xu Jiang didn't expect, otherwise, he would not have made such a suggestion to Dong Zhuo.

After all, Xu Jiang is not the top strategist, he can't be a last resort, if he is replaced by Jia Xu, that guy probably won't come up with the so-called best strategy at all!

"Baichuan, tell me, how should I come here for this night attack?"

Although Xu Jiang's consideration is biased, Dong Zhuo will not lose his reliance on Xu Jiang like this, after all, no one is perfect!

……

……

……

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson.

As if knowing that Dong Zhuojun was going to attack at night, tonight's night was very cold, the sky was cloudy, there was no moon, no stars, and the cold wind was biting, which made the Hun soldiers standing guard at the head of Tongguo City tremble!

"Made, it's true, it's such a cold day, everyone else is sleeping, only we are still starving and freezing here!"

"It's just, it's too cold, I can't stand it, I want to sleep!"

The bitter cold wind made the Hun soldiers on duty complain together from time to time.

In the distance in the Han military camp, it was pitch black, only sporadic torches emitted a dim light, and after a few miles, it was impossible to see the specific situation inside the barracks.

"Goo!"

On a dead tree in front of the North Gate Tower, a night owl occasionally screamed twice!

Although the whole land was dark, with its sharp gaze, it could still faintly see that there seemed to be a black shadow shaking in the darkness.

Under the city gate, a group of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses quietly approached the city gate.

It's here!

A fine light flashed in the eyes of General Li Shi, this Hun is careless, in the vast night, he actually let him lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Tongguo City.

Thinking that after breaking the city, he would make his first contribution, Li Shi's heart couldn't help but ignite a fire!
