The problem is that now is not before, now is now.

The Han army went deep into the grassland, pursuing the Xiongnu, there is no city on this steppe, even such an important town as Xilin Gol is just a tent, the Huns have never been a city camp, so the Han army has already thrown the siege equipment in the land of Donghu. Because no one is stupid enough to march on the steppes with bulky and useless siege engines.

However, now in front of everyone's eyes, a city has suddenly appeared!

Judging from the color of the city bricks, this city is only afraid that it will not be built for a long time, and it is only a matter of three or five years, it seems that Fang Zhenhai's map to Wei Changfeng is only afraid that it will be drawn earlier than this time, so the map does not indicate that this is a city.

Now, this small city has become a big problem for the Han army.

The Han army didn't even carry a few ladders, how to attack the city? Could it be that the Arhats are stacked under the city and climb up?

Wei Changfeng frowned and looked at the city, and saw the figures in the city shaking, obviously the Huns were defending here, and looking at the number of people in the city, there were many people defending in the city. He shook his head and said to Bai Qi, "Let's go around the city." ”

This is a must-do before a siege, and unless it is impossible to do so for special reasons, you should first go around the city and check the situation of the entire city in order to decide how to proceed.

Not only Wei Changfeng and Bai Qi, but even a few temporary Dingyuan generals also followed around the city. To attack the city, it is obviously not Wei Changfeng who climbs the city himself, and several subordinates must also have a concept in their hearts.

After this circle, the faces of the generals changed with the trip.

When I first started around, I was worried one by one; Half of the circle, one by one thoughtful, to go around a circle, already happy color.

Everyone returned to their original positions, looked at each other, and finally, several voices shouted together: "Besiege, don't attack!" ”

That's right.

This is the best way to do it.

The Xiongnu may be able to capture the Han people to help them build the city, but they cannot grasp the experience of the Han people to help them manage the city reasonably. In countless successful or unsuccessful attempts, the Han people found a way to attack the city, and also found a way to reasonably set up the city. This kind of experience is something that the Huns could not learn.

Not only is the city small and infortunate, but it has one big problem: there is no separate water source in the city!

Don't look at the grasslands everywhere, people can't quench their thirst by eating grass, although the ground is moist, but the prairie is characterized by no rich underground undercurrents, only slowly seeping out of the groundwater.

This kind of groundwater cannot be said to be enough for people to drink, but its penetration rate is very slow, a deep well, can only have most of the water in the well overnight, to rely on this kind of wellhead to solve the livelihood of a small group of people is no problem, but to solve the long-term needs of a large number of people, it is impossible.

The Han army marched on the grassland and camped in different places almost every day, so every time a batch of wells were dug in a place where the water source was abundant, the groundwater seepage was enough for one night, and the next day it was a change of place, even if it did not change the place to camp, it could also be dug in a different place when the groundwater seeped into the same place, so there was no worry about water shortage.

However, now the Huns are shrinking in the city, judging from the number of people on the four city walls, the defenders of this small city are only afraid of tens of thousands, or even twenty or thirty thousand people, such a huge number of people, the daily water consumption is huge, if the Han army is surrounded on all sides, they can not go out of the city to dig wells, even if the city is dug into wells, I am afraid that it will not be enough for a long time. What's more, when a piece of ground has been dug to a certain extent, the water around it has dried up, and even digging more wells here will not help.

The drinking water of the Huns obviously comes from a small stream outside the city, although this stream is not big, but it is enough for the daily use of the people in the city, the question is, the water comes from outside the city, and the Han army besieged the city, will it not cut off the water source?

Therefore, this city does not need to be attacked.

As long as the siege lasted for a few days, the city was cut off from water, and the Huns had no choice but to surrender. Even if the water is endless, and such a small city gathers so many military forces, food is a big problem. Neither the Huns nor the war horses of the Huns could support it for a long time.

This time, the Huns made a big mistake. This is called attacking the enemy's long with a short time.

The Han people defended the city, and they could not stop it for a few months and a year, and even some could defend it for three or five years, that was under the premise of all kinds of full preparations, and the Huns wanted to imitate the Han people to defend the city here, if there were sufficient preparations, it would be enough, but now this is obviously because they are not defeated by the Han army, and they are unwilling to give up this stronghold, so the old city that was built before was temporarily reinforced, trying to stop the Han army.

How can this kind of temporary means stop the Han army? They only considered that the Han army would not carry siege equipment, but they forgot that they would not be able to defend the city at all!

Wei Changfeng looked at the city and smiled at the generals: "Okay, this time we have to take a good rest, and sit and watch the Huns sit and wait to die." ”

The generals applauded, and for a while they were gossiping, discussing what they were doing in the past few days, and it seemed as if they were really on a big vacation and wanted to relax.

It's no wonder that the crowd will be relaxed. There are 30,000 people in the top of the city, and the Han army is 100,000, if the city is besieged and fortified, plus the defensive weapons of the Shenji battalion, the magic locomotive, the portable sharp weapon and the crossbow, plus the light 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 heavy cavalry, the Huns can not defend it, and they can't attack it, so they can only sit and wait to die.

What's more, due to the characteristics of this city, the more defenders in the city, the faster the water and food will be consumed, and the more unable it can be defended, but if the number of defenders is small, it cannot be defended.

This is an unsolvable situation.

"They have cut off their water and besiege the city on all sides." Wei Changfeng ordered.

The generals agreed in a hurry, and they were busy for a while. In half a day, the Han army has surrounded the small city of Sunit on all sides, set up fences, dug trenches to prevent the enemy from attacking, and what are the rolling thorns, tripping horses, plus the god locomotives are lined up, and a torch socket is set up every other section on the camp fence for lighting at night. The 100,000 Han army was divided into three teams, the first and second teams were 40,000 each, and the third team was the Shenji Battalion and the reserve army of 20,000. The third team is naturally in case of emergency, the first and second teams are half of the cavalry and infantry, taking turns to defend and guard, each team is on duty for two days, the first team is on duty, the second team is resting, the second team is on duty, the first team is resting, anyway, the limit of the Hun army in Sunit City is only 30,000, and under the heavy defense outside the city, it is impossible to easily break through the Han army's defense line, and it is enough to defend with 40,000 people.

The defenders of the Xiongnu city felt the pressure obviously, especially when they saw the Han army digging ditches and diverting water from the stream, cutting off the only water source in the city.

The Han soldiers looked at the Hun soldiers in the city and laughed loudly, and their expressions looked full of schadenfreude.

The Han army built the camp safely and guarded it safely, for one day, two days.

On the third day, the Hun army in the city decreased, and it was obvious that the faces of the Hun army in the city were all dirty. The reason is obvious: if you don't even drink enough water, where is the water to wash your face?

The laughter of the soldiers was day after day, but the smile on Wei Changfeng's face was gone.

On the fourth day, Wei Changfeng was obviously a little restless, and since early in the morning, he had been out of the tent from time to time to look around, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

This uneasiness was quickly transmitted to several temporary Dingyuan generals, and several people kept looking around, not knowing what General Lu Daowei was looking for.

The gaze of several temporary Dingyuan generals aroused the gaze of many Chang generals, and the Chang generals did not know what these temporary Dingyuan generals were looking for.

Then, the generals and the generals began to look at each other collectively.

Next up are the big and small capitals and centurions.

When tens of thousands of Han troops were looking around, it caused the Huns in the city to look, and the Huns in the city caused the Huns in the city to look around.

The officers and men of the two armies kept looking around, the more they looked, the more they felt that there was nothing, and the more they had nothing, the more they wanted to see what everyone was looking at, and the others saw that their comrades-in-arms were desperately looking, so they looked even more desperately, and then they all stared at each other, looking nervous and frightened.

Rumors are rife.

Some say that General Wei saw a large number of Hun troops in the distance, some say that General Wei is waiting for reinforcements, some say that a fire suddenly broke out in the distance and is about to burn over, and some say that the wolves are gathering and are about to come to fight on the night of the full moon tomorrow.

One or two of them actually plucked up the courage to tell the truth, and frankly admitted that they couldn't see anything, and General Wei was afraid that he didn't see anything like him, and was collectively ridiculed by everyone for a while, everyone felt that this person was really stupid enough, and he couldn't see such an obvious thing?

As for what kind of obvious thing it is, everyone knows it, and if it doesn't, it will be even more unannounced.

As for the Huns' stroke, the rumors are even more evil, and now it has begun to be rumored that the god of the grassland, the White Wolf King, is approaching.

Bai Qi finally couldn't stand it anymore. He came directly to Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng was looking into the distance seriously, and his eyes were about to pop up.

"General Wei!" Bai Qi screamed.

Before Bai Qi could ask what Wei Changfeng had seen, Wei Changfeng spoke first: "General Bai, have you been able to spy around in the past few days?" ”

Bai Qi was stunned, thinking quickly about when to call the doctor.

Because what General Wei asked was pure nonsense, and nonsense that could not be wasted anymore.

How is it possible not to sentry? What general would have led an idiot to go under the enemy city without sending a sentry?

"Every day the sentry detectives are eighty miles away." Bai Qi replied cautiously, planning not to ask Wei Changfeng what he was looking at, and after answering correctly, he would call the doctor directly.

Wei Changfeng frowned and said to himself: "Eighty miles? Inadequate. ”

He raised his hand and pointed to the east: "Can you go to the east for eighty miles?" ”

Bai Qi's footsteps quietly retreated.

East? To the east is the way the Han army is coming, what is the sentinel probe?

"Nope. The east side is only a patrol, and it is ten miles out. Bai Qi said.

Wei Changfeng's expression suddenly became nervous: "General Bai, give the order, send three groups of exploration horses from all sides, each exploring one hundred and fifty miles...... No, two hundred miles! ”
