The generals in the army gradually calmed down after hearing Zhong Yan's words, but their hatred of the Qiang people became more and more high.

The actions of the Qiang people, in the eyes of the Han army is a provocation, this kind of provocation is not put in the eyes of the Han army, once upon a time, the Qiang people can only survive under the protection of the Han people, many years of war, but let the Han army completely at a disadvantage, if Lu Bu does not send troops to attack the Qiang people in Liangzhou, you can imagine a few years later, what kind of environment the people of Liangzhou will live in.

After the moat was filled, the Qiang people suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the Han army, although the defenders in the city were only a thousand people, but the strength of the people was reflected at this time, the tragic situation of the Han people outside the city, they could not forget, if the Qiang people broke through the city, their fate was the same as the people outside the city.

In the face of the crisis of life and death, the people are also high-spirited, although they will not use bows and arrows to shoot the enemy, but they can carry arrows and sassage for the defenders, so that more defenders can participate in the defense of the city.

For the first time, the defenders of Fuping felt the power of the people.

Originally, in Dian Ling's opinion, even if the city wall of Fuping was a little high, as long as the moat was filled, it could still be easily captured, who knew that the defenders were still so tenacious at such a time, and drove the Qiang soldiers who attacked the city wall off the city wall several times.

The Han army has always been weak in the eyes of Dian Ling, and at this point, the Qiang people have a common understanding, originally they were inferior people in the eyes of the Han people, and now they can control the fate of the Han people, which is the benefit of the improvement of strength.

Filling the moat with the people of the Han people is enough to see the cunning of Dian Ling in the use of troops.

Outside the city of Fuping, the Qiang people launched a fierce attack, and the strength of the Qiang soldiers was greatly reflected in the siege.

Once the Qiang soldiers were allowed to climb the city wall, it was difficult to drive them down, and often a Qiang soldier was able to kill the lowest two Han soldiers after climbing the city wall.

Three days later, the number of defenders was reduced to 500, and the Qiang people paid a terrible low price in the process of attacking the city, and thousands of Qiang soldiers fell outside the city of Fuping, which also deepened the anger of the Qiang people against the Han people.

Whenever a siege was over, the Qiang soldiers' favorite thing to do was to torture the Han people, as if this was the only way to weaken their anger on the battlefield.

Dian Ling's gaze was a little low, if this situation continued, if Fuping was captured, the Qiang people would pay the price of 2,000 people, according to the news from the scouts, the Han soldiers would be able to reach the outside of Fuping in three days at most.

If it weren't for the Han army's strong city, Dian Ling would have defeated the Han army a long time ago, which was also the helplessness of the Qiang army in the face of the Han army.

The Han soldiers had the convenience of the city, and were able to inflict great damage on the city walls to the Qiang soldiers besieging the city.

However, after thinking about it again and again, Dian Ling decided to continue to attack Fuping, if Fuping can be broken, the Qiang people can get more things, the food and grass in Fuping City are sufficient, and the armor and blades of the Han soldiers are excellent in the eyes of the Qiang people.

This is also the main reason why the Han army is coming, Dian Ling still chooses to attack Fuping, occupying Fuping means that they can have a greater advantage when fighting against the Han army, the Han army can cause huge damage to the Qiang soldiers with the city wall in the previous battles, and the city can have the same effect after it is in their hands.

"General, the Qiang people's offensive is too fierce." One of the lieutenants was covered in blood and his voice was hoarse.

Zhong Yan said: "Even if the Qiang people are strong, they must defend Fuping, but there are tens of thousands of people in Fuping City, do you want to watch these people suffer the slaughter of the Qiang soldiers?" ”

The soldiers around were silent when they heard this, they were very clear about the Qiang people's treatment of the Han people, as long as the Qiang people were allowed to enter the city, the people in the city would be in dire straits, and the people who were busy in the city and under the city were also touched.

"Reinforcements from our army will arrive soon." Zhong Yan said with relief.

The captain stopped talking when he heard this, this was the third time Zhong Yan had said this, but there was no trace of his own army so far, and there was not even news from the scouts.

The siege is still continuing, and the Qiang soldiers are relying on the simple ladders to cause huge damage to the defenders in the process of attacking the city, and this kind of combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to the defenders in the city.

Behind them were the people they protected, in front of them were the enemy troops, and the defenders also burst out with tenacity, some of the soldiers were wounded, but they did not retreat in the slightest, and still held on to the city walls, they understood that there were not many soldiers in the city who could fight, and once they retreated from the walls, it meant that someone would have to fill their vacancies.

After frowning and pondering for a long time, Zhong Yan thought of a strategy, when the generals and soldiers in the army faced the attack of the Qiang army, they suffered a lot of losses, but their armor and blades were still there, if they could replenish the young and strong among the ordinary people into the army, they would definitely be able to play a huge role.

It can be seen from this attack on Fuping by the Qiang soldiers that when facing a threat of life and death, the combat effectiveness shown by ordinary people is also strong, and they want to survive this battle.

"Hold the walls of the city, and order the people to gather the armor and blades of the dead in battle." Zhong Yan ordered.

Although the adjutant general was a little unsure, he still carried out the order.

In the city, the young and strong among the people were gathered together.

Zhong Yan glanced at these people, from these young and strong looks, they could feel the anger of the people, and many of them even had blood stains on their bodies, which showed that in the process of the Qiang people attacking the city, they were also involved a lot.

"You are the young and strong among the people in the city, when the Qiang people attacked the city, your bravery, so that the general greatly admired, now Fuping has reached the critical moment of life and death, the number of defenders is less than four hundred, and the Qiang people are attacking Fuping from both sides, if it goes on like this, Fuping will be difficult to hold." Zhong Yan said slowly.

The atmosphere in the arena was a little solemn because of Zhong Yan's words, the reason why they were so desperate was to survive this war, to repel the Qiang people, and to protect their homeland.

"However, with you here, this general sees the hope of victory, the king of Jin has sent one of the five tiger generals under his command, General Tai Shici, to lead a large army to Fuping, as long as we get through such a difficult moment, our reinforcements will come, and the soldiers under the command of the king of Jin will win all battles and defeat the Qiang people, it will definitely be no problem." Zhong Yan said.
