At this time, the simple trebuchet of the Han army no longer threw stones, but constantly threw grease, the whole city was full of fire, the grease melted while burning, and the city could not stand on it for a while, some anxious soldiers grabbed buckets to rush, but did not think that the grease floated on the water and continued to burn, but added chaos to the chaos.

The soldiers of the Donghu Army couldn't resist the iron arrows and fuel, and kept retreating, and after a while, they had retreated to the inner side of the city wall, which was quite safe here.

A drum sounded, and a group of Han soldiers rushed straight to the city with a shout!

Gru jumped to his feet, brandishing his sword and shouting to drive the soldiers back again. "Defend the city, defend the city!" He yelled.

The soldiers rushed to the front again with iron arrows and fuel, and some of them were on fire, screaming again and again.

The Han soldiers took a turn under the city and retreated. It is not possible to say that there were no injuries, but the casualties under the city were much fewer than those in the city.

Gru's face turned pale.

He knew what the Han army was doing now, yes, he realized it again.

While killing and injuring the Donghu army, while constantly tempting, the Donghu army stepped forward, killed and injured with iron arrow grease, and if it didn't come forward, it really attacked the city.

How do you crack this?

A captain ran to Gelu's side panting: "King Daxian, it's not a way to go on like this!" Let's attack the city! ”

"Wait a minute." Ge Lu gritted his teeth, "Hold on a little longer, when Dongfeng's troops attack the rear of the Han army, we can attack!" ”

The captain secretly pouted, the distance between Dongfeng and Xifeng is hundreds of miles, and if Dongfeng's troops arrive, it is not to insist on "one time", that is to insist on many "one time".

For the next two hours, the Han army and the Donghu army continued to play a game of cat and mouse. One moment is to concentrate on killing and wounding, and the other is a split assault, the soldiers of the Donghu Army will flee to the inner side of the city wall for a while, and rush to the outside of the city wall for a while, practicing turning back and running back and forth.

Two hours later, Gru finally waited for news. After all, it is much faster to use the Mobei Divine Eagle to deliver news than to use a war horse. But this news made Gelu's eyes widen, because in Moyur's reply, Moygur reported that Dongfeng was attacked by the main force of the Han army, and he was defending with all his might, and he really couldn't come to help!

"Bastard!" Gru was furious.

The main force of the Han army is obviously all under Xifeng City, where is the main force of the Han army in Dongfeng? He kept sending scouts to follow the Han army along the way, and it is certain that the Han army only has these 100,000 people, where did the main force of the Han army in Dongfeng come from? Coming out of the ground? He was a little unsure for a while, wondering if the Han army had some strange scheme to hide from his spy and sent a large army or if Mowuer refused to come to aid and lied about the military situation, but no matter which possibility it was, it was certain that there would be no assistance.

"King Daxian, let's attack!" The captain asked for battle again.

Gru's eyes narrowed suddenly.

He looked out, very seriously, as if his gaze could penetrate the night and see everything in the darkness.

It took him a while before he replied, "No, you can't attack." He turned and gave the order: "Send men into the city to dig up the earth, put out the flames, and let the soldiers take turns to rest with heavy shields." ”

The captain was a little anxious, and interjected on the side: "King Daxian, are our soldiers killed or injured like this?" ”

"How many casualties?" Gelu's words seemed to be asking a question, but he didn't wait for the commander to answer, but asked himself: "Until now, there have only been thousands of casualties, and the Han army seems to be very powerful, in fact, they don't really want to attack the city yet, they are just luring us to attack, otherwise there will only be a few chances, they should have attacked the city a long time ago, do they plan to wait until their iron arrows and grease are exhausted before attacking the city?" He smiled, and felt proud of his analysis again, "We have 30,000 people, and only more than 20,000 can attack, and the Han army is 100,000, they must be waiting for us in ambush on the left and right of the city, as soon as we attack, they will appear immediately, and use the advantage of numbers to make our cavalry unable to maneuver, and then we will be in trouble." ”

"The Great Sage King is wise." The captain had to say something like that. There's no way, King Daxian looked at him after analyzing it, what could he say? Say that King Daxian is?

However, this time, it seems that Gelu is really wise. Half an hour later, the Han army saw that the defenders of the Donghu army were constantly changing, and they used earth to suppress fire and shield themselves, so they stopped the attack of iron arrows and grease, and even stopped taking turns to storm the city gate, but they kept sending teams to approach the city and reconnoitre.

After another half an hour, the fire on the left and right of Xifeng was bright, and I saw tens of thousands of torches shaking and retreating towards the Han army in the middle road.

Gru looked triumphantly at the captain.

Look, he was right, the Han army had really been waiting for them to get out of the city, but seeing that they couldn't sell it, they had to recall the troops who were in ambush.

At dawn, the Han army retreated.

Gro yawned heavily. "Set up double posts and defend tightly," he commanded, "and the herald should hurry up and sleep, and the Han army will attack again tonight." ”

The captain of the ten thousand men really admired Gelu this time, it seems that King Daxian really saw thousands of miles, and the Han army really acted according to King Daxian's prediction. He asked, "Do you want to send someone to repair the battlements?" ”

"Will any of us do this job?" Gru asked rhetorically.

"Catch the Han people in the city and do it!" The captain didn't think about it, and immediately replied, "If you dare not do it, kill him!" ”

(2) Gellu sighed, but just waved his hand, signaling "no need".

He's been there. When Donghu rebelled at the beginning, he once captured a large number of Han people to build the city walls in several places, including Wangcheng. The Han people really succumbed to the blade, and they repaired very quickly, and they were also very strong, and it was difficult to break them with a sledgehammer. However, when the Han Chinese were released, several of the city walls began to crack and collapse, like papier-mâché.

Since they were able to build the walls very strongly, of course they were also able to build the walls very strong on the outside, but in fact they were terrible. Fortunately, at that time, the Donghu army won all the way, so it was not dangerous. Now, if the Han people are caught to repair it, if they build the battlements very unsturdy, it will be light, and if they take advantage of this opportunity to make the walls unstrong, the Donghu army will be finished. Therefore, it is better to have more than one thing, anyway, the Han army will not have an unlimited supply of iron arrows and grease, just treat it as if it is in the field now.

The sun was gradually rising, and there was silence inside and outside the city. The Donghu army slept in the city, and the Han army slept outside the city. Wei Changfeng was lying in the tent, slightly drunk, and even the guards were napping with guns.

About five miles away from the Han army camp, a horse stopped there. The horse was covered in sweat, and a man in a wide cloak with his face covered in a mask was struggling to turn over and dismount.

"Whew, finally caught up." The man chuckled, "I'm asking for trouble and giving them the raft to make a drawing, but they dumped me." ”

The man muttered to himself as he looked at the Han army camp thoughtfully.

Gellu slept for only half an hour before he was woken up by the guards.

He really wanted to curse, he was sleepy to death this night, and he was woken up before he slept deeply, it was really ...... Mom's. But he couldn't scold the guard, because he was still reasonable, and the guard was helpless, and the news to report was too important: Mowur had arrived in front of the city with 10,000 troops.

Gelu could only get up. After all, Mowu is here, and he has traveled hundreds of miles overnight, and he has worked hard enough anyway.

When Moyer entered the city, the horses were so tired that they almost fell. He looked at Gelu with a dissatisfied expression: "King Daxian, I don't understand what to do in the future, the main force of the Han army is obviously not here." ”

Gru's glimmer of gratitude immediately vanished.

This Mowu is really a natural bastard, and the good things he does are dissatisfying, he is really not an ordinary bastard.

"I saw with my own eyes yesterday that the 100,000-strong team of the Han army is here." Ge Lu pointed his hand at his eyes, "I want to know how many Han troops you have there?" ”

Moyer's eyes widened.

"Impossible!" He shouted, "Yesterday I obviously had ten Han soldiers there!" ”

For a moment, Mowu and Gelu both looked at each other speechlessly.

"Speak in the tent." Gro felt that there was a problem here, a big problem. Moygur lies again, and he won't tell such a lie, what the hell is going on?

The two briefly talked about the Han attack they had seen, and as a result, both of them were suspicious of the other.

"King Daxian, if the Han army has a team of 100,000 people, how can it not attack the city under such a good opportunity?" Mowur looked at Gelu suspiciously.

Gro couldn't explain it, because he couldn't figure it out either. Last night, the Han army obviously had many chances to successfully attack the city, but it just didn't attack the city. But he also has questions for Moyghur.

"You said that as soon as you attacked, the Han army was defeated and retreated, and you threw down the grain and grass in the field?" Gelu asked, "20,000 people attacked, and the Han army 100,000 were defeated?" ”

Moyer can't explain it either.

There was suddenly a little more vigilance in the eyes of both of them.

Who, exactly, is lying? Who was deceived? Of course, both are suspicious of each other.

After a moment of silence, Gelu suddenly smiled: "I figured it out." Captain Mowuerwan, all we see is the flag, but since there are 100,000 flags in both places, and they are all the same troop flags, there is only one possibility: one is fake. ”

Mowuer nodded, but he was secretly scolding in his heart: Isn't this nonsense!

Ge Lu said to himself: "The Han army here in Xifeng did not attack the city, but the attack power is extremely strong. If Dongfeng is the main force of the Han army, why would you easily defeat them with 20,000 attackers? As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes again and looked at Moyur.

Moyer snorted. This logic is indeed good, but King Daxian still hasn't explained, why is it that the attack power is so strong but it doesn't attack the city? It's just that it's not good to say this directly, after all, Gelu is the Great Sage King, he is the commander of ten thousand masters, it is okay to argue, but it is not okay to attack. He pondered for a while, thinking about what words to use to go around in a circle to point out what he meant, but a thought suddenly entered his mind, and his face turned white all of a sudden: "King Daxian, please send someone to test the Han army's military camp as soon as possible!" ”
