The city wall of Jincheng County, after Han Pu led the troops to station, and repeatedly expanded and strengthened it, has the hard conditions that a strong city should have. In addition, as a natural fortress, Jincheng County is blessed with a terrain surrounded by mountains on both sides and facing water on one side. As a result, the enemy attacking Jincheng County could not surround it, and could only devote a large number of troops to attack from the east. Because of this, at this time, the south, north, and west of Jincheng County were basically peaceful, only on the east side, the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the blood flowed like a river.

Although the three sides of the north, south and west did not have the conditions for the large-scale deployment of the enemy's troops, as the commander of the defenders of Jincheng County, Zhang Lang still did not dare to be careless, he deployed 500 people on the west city wall, and on the north and south sides, two hundred-man teams were stationed on each side for surveillance and vigilance. The defensive vigilance forces on these three sides, when the Dongcheng encountered the most fierce attack, he did not have the intention of calling it.

Zhang Lang almost always held a sword on the eastern wall of Jincheng to supervise the battle. There were almost no sleeps for several days, which added a bit of silver to the hair on the veteran's head. However, even if he personally supervised the battle, the lower-level soldiers also fought to the death, and the city wall was still almost breached by the Zhao army several times. It wasn't until this morning, when another 3,000 reinforcements crossed the river from the pontoon bridge and arrived in the county town, that Zhang Lang let go of his suspense. However, when he saw these Lingju county soldiers who came to help, his heart sank again.

These are obviously rabbles who have just put down their farm tools, although there are a large number of people, but whether they can withstand the wave of attacks of the Zhao army, Zhang Lang still has a question mark in his heart. With the Jincheng Army under his command, as well as most of the Guangwu Army and the elite of the state government, these ten days of bloody battles are also extremely exhausting. It is simply impossible to imagine what it would be like if an attack of this intensity lasted for a few more days.

While Zhang Lang was alone and worried, the soldiers standing in the city who were monitoring the movements of the Zhao army outside the city sounded the bamboo whistle in their mouths one after another, sending out a warning signal!

Zhang Lang took three steps and made two steps, and looked out at the battlement, but saw that although the morning light was faint, outside the Zhao military camp, thousands of Hun cavalry had already been prepared, marching in formation, and rushed straight towards the northeast corner of Jincheng County!

Seeing the majestic scene of thousands of cavalry galloping on horseback, the soldiers at the head of the city who got the warning picked up the shields in their hands one after another, gathered under the battlements, and hundreds of shields were raised, forming an impenetrable shield wall, trying to block any possible attack by the Hun cavalry. In the past few days, the soldiers they have been guarding the city have not been attacked by the precise and ferocious arrows of these Hun cavalry. And as a result, the losses are not small. So much so that now as soon as they saw the Hun cavalry move, these soldiers skillfully used the shields in each other's hands to form an impermeable shield wall.

Zhang Lang was in front of the city tower, watching these Hun cavalry, and gradually approached a stone's throw away from the city wall.

The Hun cavalry skillfully drew their bows and arrows, and then shot their first rain of arrows on the galloping horses. After various raids in the past few days, these Hun cavalry have already had their own unique experience with the soldiers who shot at the head of Jincheng City.

Although the Hun cavalry shot a rain of arrows, most of them crossed the city and flew into the city nowhere. Still, there were a number of arrows that flew through the battlements and landed on the shields held aloft by the defenders of the Golden City.

Relying on their better location and long range, the crossbowmen of the Jincheng Army also wound up their arrows, and then saw the opportunity to lean out from behind the solid shield wall formed by the infantry in front, and a wave of arrows mixed with anger and hatred suddenly came out and roared towards the Hun cavalry.

For a time, among the Hun cavalry that had entered the range of an arrow, more than 100 people immediately fell off their horses. However, the remaining Hun cavalry did not slow down and continued to rush towards the northeast corner of Jincheng.

In the past, even if the Hun cavalry shot arrows at the city to suppress the sneak attack, most of them wandered inside and outside the arrow. Taste it lightly, never try to go deeper, and never shoot at the crossbowmen of the Liangzhou army at the head of the city, consuming each other. After all, the people at the head of the city covered half of their bodies, and the projection area was already much smaller, and if it was consumed by counter-shooting, even the Huns, who were proficient in cavalry and archery, could not afford it at all.

But today, these Hun cavalry soldiers were unusual, and seemed to be desperate to gallop towards the northeast corner, and this abnormal behavior suddenly alerted the battle-hardened Zhang Lang. He leaned over to see that among the thousands of cavalry, there was indeed Liu Yue's own banner.

Zhang Lang held the battlements of the city wall with both hands, looked at the direction in which the Hun cavalry was rushing, and thought about something. And while he was thinking, he had already ordered the drummers beside him: "Adjust the bow and crossbowmen to the northeast corner quickly, no matter what those Huns want to do, be sure to stop them!" ”

After thinking hard for a long time, Zhang Lang failed to analyze why the Hun cavalry played such an unusually suicidal charge today. At the head of the city beside him, the crossbowmen had gathered and headed to the northwest side, bowing slightly, carefully dodging the rain of arrows that flew from time to time under the city.

Zhang Lang turned his head again and looked at the reinforcements who were temporarily resting under his orders under the inner wall of the city. However, just as he looked away, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and it seemed that he sensed something.

These reinforcements came from the North Shore. Presumably, the news that another large reinforcement army crossed the river from the north bank to reinforce should have also reached Liu Yue.

This commander of the Zhao army, who has been in a stalemate under Jincheng County for more than ten days and has endured many failed attacks, must be extremely unwilling at this time. Seeing that the city in front of him was about to collapse under the powerful offensive of his own day and night. Although the losses of the Zhao army were not small. However, the great significance of taking this key to enter Liangzhou is far greater than the value of those cannon fodder piled up on the east side of Jincheng.

However, at this moment, another reinforcement army came from the north shore! Moreover, the support force successfully reached Geumseong-gun through the pontoon bridge. According to the report of the sentinels, the number of the support army is definitely not less than 3,000! This news made Liu Yue under the city of Dunbing almost unbearable.

Falling short! Absolutely a failure! In the current situation, I don't know how long it will take to capture Jincheng, which has been reinforced by this army. Liu Yue's heart was full of despair and regret. He had long seen the north and south banks of Jincheng communicating and dispatching on this nearby pontoon bridge. However, he was unwilling to let his Hun cavalry send them to their deaths. Therefore, he turned a blind eye to the pontoon bridge that was only five or six miles away from him.

After all, if he ordered his cavalry to gallop five or six miles to the northwest side of Jincheng County and destroy the pontoon bridge, the Hun cavalry was bound to withstand the fierce bow and crossbow fire at the head of Jincheng County. The Liangzhou soldiers had the audacity to set up the pontoon bridge in this place, probably out of this consideration.

However, at this time, Liu Yue, who had already fallen into madness, no longer cared about these. He only has one thought now, which is to destroy this pontoon bridge. So thousands of Hun cavalry, led by a crazy commander, carried out a surprise attack that was bound to suffer serious casualties.

Seeing this, the crossbowmen who had already rushed to the northeast side of the city fired at these Hun cavalry. At this time, there was no need for a password or aim, and these crossbowmen, as long as they opened the strings in their hands, shot the arrows in their hands towards the densest place in the Hun cavalry ranks, and they could almost shoot.

The rain of arrows at the head of the city suddenly fell, and they couldn't help but force these Hun cavalry to speed up even more. The momentum of thousands of war horses galloping up was like thunder, which made the soldiers on duty at the head of the city on the north side also change their complexions.

A quarter of an hour later, these Hun cavalry had already marched west from the north side of the city wall, and the pontoon bridge on the river was full of shadows, and it was not far from them.

On the side of the pontoon bridge, some sporadic Guangwu cavalry guarding the pontoon bridge saw that the Huns were sweeping like thunder, and they had already turned their horses and retreated. At this time, even if they hitched on themselves, they could not save the fate of this pontoon bridge. Anyway, if you go ten miles or dozens of miles upstream along this place, there are two pontoon bridges that can be used for the north-south dispatch of Jincheng.

The Hun cavalry rushed to the pontoon bridge on the river, and under Liu Yue's order, they took out the fire oil and other things, and threw the torches ignited in their hands onto the pontoon bridge. On this early morning, on the river in the northwest corner of Jincheng County, the fire was soaring!
