The army repaired overnight, and the next day at dawn, Fang Li took 20,000 soldiers in the first camp as the vanguard of Chen Bingbei Qucheng, Xian Yuwu did not expect that there were so many enemy troops, and they were besieged by regiments without checking.

The Beiqu city wall is not high, and it can be easily climbed up with a ladder, which is not enough to resist heavy troops, but Xian Yuwu has no intention of leading the army out of the city to fight in the field.

He knew very well that although the steppe warriors were brave and good at fighting, if they defeated 90,000 enemy troops with 20,000, even if they won, they would inevitably pay a heavy price.

The four tribes of Bai Di are far from being as harmonious as they seem on the surface, and under the strength of each other, Xian Yuwu can't gamble with these 20,000 elite clan soldiers.

Hearing that it was the Tang army that had fought with the Qin army, Xian Yuwu was stunned, knowing that he could only take the hole cards at one time.

"There's no way, drive those people to the city!" Xian Yuwu viciously wiped the remaining wine stains from his mouth, "Tell those Central Plains people that every time they take a step forward, they will cut off the heads of ten old and weak women and children!" ”

Fang Li divided his troops to defend the gates of Beiqu on all sides, and concentrated the main forces outside the north gate to prevent Xian Yuwu from leading the army to break through and go north.

After the formation was completed, Fang Li looked at the Bai Di guards on the city tower from a distance, these guards did not change the true colors of the grassland cavalry even if they fought on foot, carrying a leather-wrapped saber on their waists, and horses with bows and arrows behind their backs, which did not look like they were defending the city at all.

Compared with the Tang Army, which was strictly disciplined and had an army of 40,000 but was so quiet that it could be heard, the Bai Di people on the city tower seemed to be much more scattered, even if they were approached by soldiers in the city, and the big battle was about to break out, they were still talking left and right, and when it came to happiness, the arrogant laughter could even faintly reach the ears of Fang Li and the others.

"These barbarians are too arrogant!" Gao Shun gritted his teeth, "My lord, let's go to the camp first." ”

"Don't worry, let the crossbowmen line up first." Fang Li looked at the loose garrison on the city wall, and always felt that something was wrong, "The appearance of these Bai Di people is too relaxed, there must be a backhand." ”

Gao Shun nodded, forcing himself to suppress his restless mood.

After a while, the enemy troops on the city tower saw that the Tang army had no intention of attacking for a long time, and seemed to look very regretful, and they scolded and shouted twice into the city, and soon, more than a thousand old and weak women and children in ragged clothes and tied into a string of straw ropes staggered up to the city tower, and stood in a row outside the city under the compulsion of Bai Dibing.

At the same time, a soldier who knew the Central Plains dialect shouted from the city: "Listen to the Tang people under the city, every time you take a step forward, we will cut off the heads of ten people!" After killing this thousand, there are still ones in the city! ”

As soon as the soldier's voice fell, an earth-shattering cry sounded on the city tower:

"Please, save me!"

"These people do what they say, please let us live!"

"Please!"

...

"Brute!"

Even if Rong Di was mentally prepared to treat the people as a shield, Fang Li couldn't help but blurt out and curse when he saw it with his own eyes.

Looking at Zhang Liao Gaoshun next to him, his eyes had already turned red with anger, and the hand holding the reins of the horse was bruised, as if he regarded the reins as those despicable Rong Di.

The towers were full of gray-haired old men and weak women, and occasionally children who were less than the height of a wheel, and everyone was skinny, and their fear and despair could be felt even from hundreds of meters away.

The Bai Di soldiers hid behind these people, the saber in their hands was cold, and occasionally they made a gesture to cut through the throat of a common people, causing a scream, and then laughed wildly, obviously taking the humiliation of these defenseless old and weak as a source of pleasure.

Fang Li's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he had already sentenced these beasts to death in his heart.

"Camp in place!" Fang Li stared at the city wall tightly, and ordered Jia Xu, who was waiting beside him, word by word, "Let the Tabai Army find a way to contact the internal guards in the city and find out the place where the young and strong people are being held!" ”

Xian Yuwu was indulging in eating and drinking with the two captains in the city guard mansion, and his years of experience in fighting with the Central Plains made him very sure that even if it was not the Han people but the Tang people, the temperament of not daring to attack the people was still the same.

Anyway, there are people in hand, and when the Han army that is solved and comes to support it, they can attack back and forth, and make dumplings for the 90,000 Tang troops who don't know whether they are alive or dead, maybe the territory of the Xianyu clan can continue to expand eastward.

About a quarter of an hour later, the personal soldiers with sabers on their shoulders rushed into the lobby: "Captain Du, the Tang army is camping on the spot!" ”

"Oh?" Xian Yuwu's eyes lit up, "They didn't attack?" ”

The pro-soldiers clasped their fists: "Yes, there was no temptation, after seeing the people on the city tower, the Tang army soon began to camp." ”

"Hahaha, the people of the Central Plains are really a bunch of wretched!" Xian Yuwu couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed, "How can a group of cowardly little lambs be the opponent of the wolves!" ”

Xian Yuzhong motioned for his soldiers to retreat quickly, and then asked Xian Yuwu with a smile: "Captain Dadu, do you want to drive those people out of the city and rush into battle, and take down those Tang troops in one go?" ”

"No, there's no need to rush it." Xian Yuwu took a big sip from the wine jar, "No matter how cowardly the sheep are, there are 90,000 of them, so it is too difficult for the warriors of the tribe to fold here, and let's talk about it when the drum is over." ”

Speaking of Gu Yong, Xian Yu Zhong couldn't help but show a confused expression: "I heard that the Han army is only forty or fifty thousand, and Gu Yong's account is all elite soldiers of the Gu clan, why hasn't there been any movement after two or three days?" Nothing will happen, right? ”

"No, what can happen to the South Korean army that is vulnerable." Riwu Buji smiled, "That kid has always liked cat and mouse, and now he must be teasing those Korean regiments!" ”

Xian Yuwu smashed his mouth in displeasure, and ordered someone to call a herald: "Go, tell Gu Yong about the situation here, and let him fight quickly!" Otherwise, this big fish will be swallowed by our Xian Yu clan! ”

As the night fell, wisps of cooking smoke began to rise in the Tang camp, and even during the march, the food of the Tang army was always very good, three meals a day were dry, and one meat could be eaten every other day.

Today was the day of eating meat, and large pieces of meat were thrown into the pot by the man, and after a while, the strong smell of meat filled the air in the camp.

In the past, everyone couldn't walk when they smelled the meat, and their eyes were full of eyes to hurry up and start a full meal, but today it is a little different.

Not only were the cooking men a little absent-minded, but the already hungry soldiers didn't care whether the food was good or not, and the scene on the city wall during the day was deeply imprinted in their brains.

Especially the 20,000 soldiers who stood at the forefront and saw the most clearly, now all they could think about was hatred for the cruel and unscrupulous Rong Di, and the confusion of what to do if they were ordered to ignore the siege.

Fang Li sensitively sensed that morale was slumping, but there was nothing to do but wait, and by now, any verbal encouragement was pale, and only by coming up with a solution could the soldiers' will be re-strengthened.
