In the tunnel, the sudden change made all the Hu people and even Zhang Wu look surprised and panicked, they were completely unprepared, how could the soldiers of Cloud City find out that they were digging the tunnel and appeared in this way.

Inside the tunnel, the smoke released by the burning of charcoal and chaff was encouraged by the bellows, all of which poured into the tunnel, and those Hu people choked on the smoke and wept, and instinctively ran out of the tunnel in panic.

The fastest runner was naturally Zhang Wu, he was extremely vigilant, and he was at the back of the Hu team, when he saw the soldiers of Cloud City suddenly appear, he felt bad, and he pulled a Hu soldier as a meat shield, blocked the arrows, and after giving an order to retreat, he ran away.

"The defenders of the city, prepare, fire the arrows!" Seeing these Hu soldiers fleeing, Zhao Fan was not in a hurry, nor did he pursue, but walked quickly to the city, estimating that Zhang Wu and the others should be about to run out of the tunnel, and immediately ordered.

"Chirp ......" Zhao Fan commanded, and the defenders of Cloud City at the head of the city used the rockets that had been prepared to shoot at the entrance of the tunnel outside the city with lightning speed. I saw that the rockets were like meteors, instantly lighting up the space within half a mile outside the city.

"Boom!" Under the fire of ten thousand arrows, Mars jumped, igniting the weeds around the tunnel in an instant, Zhang Wu had just led people out of the tunnel, and was about to rush back to the big tent, but he didn't expect that the soldiers of Cloud City had already prepared rockets waiting for them.

Immediately, with a terrible scream, many Hu soldiers were shot by random arrows and fell to the ground, and some soldiers were engulfed in burning flames, and all their clothes and pants were on fire, with terrible faces and screams.

The army was defeated, and the Hu soldiers were in a hurry to flee, who would care about these soldiers who were hit by arrows and on fire, and immediately, these people, abandoned by their companions, either fell to the ground and died, or their whole bodies were burned by the fire.

Since the entrance to the tunnel in the distance was lit by firelight, the defenders of Cloud City could also see the situation over there, and carried the long-range attack equipment such as catapults that had been prepared for a long time, and hit the Hu soldiers fiercely.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Hu soldiers were at least half wiped out, Zhang Wu was very skillful, and his reaction was quick, he was not shot by random arrows, he couldn't care about the monstrous anger in his heart at this time, and it was important to flee for his life.

"Alright, stop attacking, the enemy is already out of our range." Zhao Fan's eyesight was far away from ordinary people, and he saw that there were dozens of Hu soldiers, who had already run out of nearly a mile away, and immediately waved his hand.

Zhao Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, the result of this time was actually not very satisfactory to him, he didn't expect Hu Cai to use hundreds of people, so the blow to them this time was not big enough.

"Okay, let's rest for a while and be on guard." Zhao Fan gave an order, and then walked down the city.

Coming to the edge of the tunnel under the city, at this moment, Xu Jia, Xu Ying, Xu Xiong and others are using mud and stones to prepare to fill this tunnel.

Seeing Zhao Fan coming down, Xu Jia also said: "Childe, you see that this tunnel is here, it is always a hidden danger, do you want to fill him in?" ”

"Fill it in, this tunnel is useless to us, but it is of great use to the Hu people, so we must fill it in, and fill in more stones, and cast it with glutinous rice water, so as not to collapse easily." Zhao Fan replied.

Now they only need to defend the city with all their might, and they don't need to go out of the city to face the battle, so the tunnels are really useless.

Xu Ying, Xu Xiong and others immediately led hundreds of soldiers and began to fill the newly dug tunnel with stones, mud and glutinous rice water according to Zhao Fan's instructions.

In the early morning of the second day, when the golden sun dispelled a dense fog near Cloudsdale, the soldiers of Cloudsdale who had rested for the night also quickly climbed up from the barracks and came to the head of Cloudsdale.

"Fan'er, why didn't you wake me up last night?" Li Feng walked over wearing a suit of armor and complained slightly.

According to the original agreement, it was Zhao Fan who guarded the first half of the night and Li Feng who guarded the second half of the night, but the former wanted Li Feng to rest for a while, so he didn't wake him up and take over his shift, after all, Li Feng hadn't slept for two or three days, and as the pillar of Cloud City, Li Feng couldn't be tired because of this.

Zhao Fan's eyes were a little tired, he hadn't slept all night, plus last night's battle, even if he was energetic, he would inevitably feel a little tired, "Hehe, I'm young, full of physical strength, it's nothing if I don't sleep all night." ”

Li Feng felt a warm current in his heart, he didn't see the wrong person, and he was very relieved to hand over Bingbing to Zhao Fan.

"Huh? Why didn't the Hu people attack the city today? Li Feng wanted to say something, but at this moment, one of the defenders was a little puzzled, Zhao Fan and the others looked along the position he pointed to, and saw that Hu Da's tent was quiet, and he had no intention of attacking the city.

At this time, Li Feng also felt a little stunned, the Hu soldiers were not suitable for a war of attrition, and a quick victory would be beneficial to them, why didn't they seem to be ready to launch an attack today?

Zhao Fan smiled slightly, in this regard, he understood a little, according to the discussion with Xu Jia last night, it was difficult for the Hu people to launch a strong attack to capture Yunzhong City, so they only took the siege method of digging tunnels last night.

After last night's fiasco, and knowing that the strong attack was ineffective, it was reasonable for the Hu people to say that they would not attack the city today, but they didn't know what other conspiracy the Hu people were thinking, Zhao Fan didn't believe it, and the Hu people stayed outside the city so honestly.

Immediately, Zhao Fan also told Li Feng and others about last night's incident, and when they heard this, everyone was also surprised, especially after seeing the effect of Diting in dealing with the siege method of digging tunnels, they were even more overjoyed.

Today, the Hu people did not launch a siege, which is naturally a good thing for the soldiers of Cloud City, the soldiers on duty last night, all returned to the camp to rest, and the others also stepped up to repair the imperial defense and build the city defense equipment.

Zhao Fan didn't sleep all night last night, and took advantage of this opportunity to go back to the county guard mansion to rest for a while.

At the same time, in the Hu people's tent, Zhang Wu and Yan Zha and other leaders were in the big tent of the Chinese army, discussing the military.

Zhang Wu, who was at the top, had a gloomy face, an ugly face, and a very bad mood, and the leaders below also held their breath, and they didn't dare to come out.

Although Zhang Wu is young, he is good at kung fu, and his status is noble, and he has a large number of Hu soldiers under his command, even if Yan Zha and others are respectful to him, and they will never anger the former if they have nothing to do.

In the case in front of Zhang Wu, a bronze head that looked rough and full of majesty was placed in the center of several cases with his head held high, and when he saw this bronze talisman, all the generals, including Yan Zha, were in awe.

"The king of the Xiongnu and the king of Donghu have ordered an attack on Daijun and Yanmen County, and they are so strong that they have already conquered several cities. We, the Linhu warriors, are now trapped in Cloudsdale and are not allowed to move forward, so what can we do? Zhang Wu coughed, adjusted his state, and asked everyone.

The bronze talisman on several cases is the letter of King Linhu, which is equivalent to the holy decree of the emperor of the ancient dynasty, representing the military order, just this morning, King Linhu gave Zhang Wu and others an ultimatum, within five days, it is necessary to conquer Yunzhong City, and the Xiongnu and Donghu, converge on the border of the three counties, and reach Handan, Zhao State.

The three counties naturally refer to Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, and Dai County. These three counties have just been established, and they are all Zhao Wuling's original realization of Hufu cavalry shooting, after the national strength was great, the Hu people were broken, occupied this northwest grassland, and set up three counties.

For these three counties, the Hu people have long coveted it, the water and grass here are abundant, suitable for grazing, for the nomadic people such as Linhu and Donghu, it naturally has an irresistible temptation.

However, this is only the idea of the Hu people at the beginning, and now the king of Linhu is very ambitious, and soon wants to annex the three counties, and also wants to occupy the Zhao State with Donghu and the Xiongnu, enter the Central Plains, and compete with other vassal states in the Central Plains.

It can be seen from here that King Lin Hu's ambition is very great, and his ambition is not small, but anyone with such great ambition has a very good ability and has the ambition to annex the Central Plains.

Yan Zha frowned and said: "I'm just a little puzzled that the group of Zhao people last night was able to know about King Zuo Xian's excavation of the tunnel, our actions last night were extremely secretive, how could those Zhao people know about our actions?" ”

Hearing Yan Zha mention of last night's incident, Zhang Wu's face also became a little unpleasant, last night's incident caused some damage to his reputation to a greater or lesser extent, of course, what annoyed him the most was that this group of Zhao people was so cunning that they had already designed to wait for them.

"This is indeed a bit weird, in my opinion, maybe the Zhao people used something in the city to find out that we were digging tunnels, so they designed it early to deal with us." Regarding this matter, Zhang Wu didn't want to mention it again, and immediately said: "Let's talk about it first, what good ideas do you have for attacking the city." ”

How to break through Cloud City is the top priority now, and this is also a problem that Hu Ren has always wanted to solve.

Now, the three tribes of Linhu, Donghu and Xiongnu respectively attacked the three border counties of Zhao, who can be the first to break through, but also indirectly can prove which tribe is more powerful, between the three tribes, there is not as harmonious as it seems, the same is open and secret, but they now have a common enemy of Zhao, so they will be firmly tied together.

The generals fell into deep thought, Cloud City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to break through, it is indeed very difficult, and for a while, the big tent is also in silence.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, it was obviously okay, Zhang Wu's face was also slightly ugly, and his face was cold.

In the big tent, all the generals had dispersed, and after nearly half an hour, these Hu generals did not come up with any effective solution.

In desperation, the Hu people had no choice but to continue to take strong offensive measures, and in the next three days, they launched an attack on Cloud City every day, but these siege battles were a little different from the first time.

On these few occasions, the Hu people pushed the captured Zhao people to the front of the Hu army, and used them to fill the trenches, serve as Chengren's meat shield, and block the offensive of the defenders of Yunzhong City.

Outside the city, the horns of the Hu people sounded one after another. The cry followed, but it was the people of Dazhao who were driven towards the city by the sudden heat, and there were hundreds of them, mostly women and children, carrying grass, trees, bricks and stones, as well as cloth bags full of earth, but they were driven forward.

They stumbled in, and a large group of Hu soldiers dodged behind them.

Those women and children came forward, and they cried to the defenders of Cloud City in the city: "The military masters of the city are all the people of Dazhao, please don't throw stones and arrows." ”

Listening to their familiar Zhao State accent, the defenders of Cloud City at the head of the city were silent, and everyone was looking at Li Feng and Zhao Fan at the head of the city.

However, at this time, there can be no mercy in the slightest, even if the Zhao people are all captives, but for the sake of the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Cloud City, Zhao Fan and Li Feng had to be ruthless and ordered ten thousand arrows to shoot the Zhao people and Hu soldiers under the city on the land outside Cloud City.

Outside the city, there was a sea of corpses and blood, and the blood stained the earth red, and there was a desolate cry everywhere.

The people under the city wept bitterly, and the defenders of the city looked resolute, they all knew their fate, and the suffering of the troubled times was indescribable.

After several days of fighting, both sides suffered heavy losses, and Zhang Wu had no choice, King Lin Hu had already issued a military order, within five days, the city in the clouds must be breached, so he had to do whatever it took to launch a strong attack on the city in the clouds.

After three days of fierce fighting, the number of casualties on both sides has exceeded 10,000, and the losses of the defenders of Yunzhong City are also very great.

After the stubborn resistance of the defenders of Yunzhong City, although they blocked the offensive of the Hu people, they also suffered heavy losses, and the city walls and city gates were damaged to varying degrees, and now, Zhao Fan and Li Feng were just worried that the city gates and city walls would be breached, and the Hu people would lose when they poured into Yunzhong City.

No matter how strong the city walls and gates were, after so many battles, what was strong would be lost, not to mention a large number of siege equipment from the Hu people.

In the county guard's mansion, the atmosphere was gloomy, and everyone had a trace of worry on their faces.

Zhao Fan's mood at the moment is not very good, although the current Cloud City is better than some really exhaustive city defense battles in Chinese history, but it is not much worse, because, at this critical time, the bow and arrow of Cloud City have been almost used.

Zhao Fan remembered that during the Warring States Period, the most thrilling battle to defend the city was the Battle of Jimo Jucheng in Qi State.

Mr. Storyteller's sharp mouth interprets the picture of the Qi people's Tian Danhuo Ox Formation breaking the enemy into a mythical legend, so that when future generations look back on this war that turned decay into magic, it seems that only a group of burning bulls are left in the frame of memory.

How many super sacred cows will level the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yan Kingdom? Le Yi, who staged the myth of weak Yan breaking strong Qi before, may not understand until death, what kind of force is stopping the Yan army's devastating footsteps? What kind of magic trick made the salted fish of the Qi Kingdom, which only had its last breath left, turn over. Two scarred cities and a lone army with heavy casualties can actually stage a science fiction drama to recreate the country of Qi???

The background of the story must be clear to everyone, the heart of the king of Qi is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper, and it seems that he is tight to fight which majesty, but he was exploited by the Yan State who is determined to take revenge, and the Qi State that swept the Quartet and also provoked the anger of the public attracted the joint counterattack of the Warring States princes.

The five-nation alliance army commanded by Yan general Le Yi is like a bamboo, and the king died in the chaos, the new king survived with the support of Tian Dan with two lonely cities, and the opposite side is the Yan country under the command of the famous general Le Yi.

However, Tian Dan told Le Yi to know that there were also iron ants among the ants. It is said that there are many generous and tragic people in the land of Yan Zhao, and the people of Qi do not have so many generous and tragic songs, but the people of Yan who are strong and fierce understand what tenacity is.

Siege the city, defend the city, you use the tactics of the sea of people, I will fight to the death with the city, the head of the city is densely packed with the corpses of the Yan people, and the expected pleasure of destruction has become the torment of each other. Six months of tug-of-war, every day is killing and death, every day is charging and fighting, every day relatives and comrades die, every day the air is filled with foul stench of blood, no matter how strong the spirit is, no matter how hard the body is, no matter how hard the body will fall, only the brains of the two wise generals Le Yi and Tian Dan are still moving non-stop.

You Tiandan mobilized the masses, I Le Yi will fight the heart war, waste **, disaster relief, and attack the heart war, but my Tiandan tells you that people's hearts are not so easy to buy, and three buckets of rice cannot replace the shame of being a slave to the country, not to mention that you attack the heart, my Tiandan will be reversed, the old Yan King hangs, I create rumors in front of your new master, this process of fighting wits and strength is actually unfair, you Le Yi is defeated, it's a big deal to go home to support the elderly, your Yan army is defeated, I don't know how to return to the field, but my Tiandan is defeated, and there is no place to bury it, and my Qi country is defeated, There will be no chance of rebirth.

So, King Yan believed the slander, Le Yi was transferred, in exchange for an incompetent robbery, don't say anything about Tiandan's good luck, don't say anything about King Yan's mediocrity, in the face of conspiracy and trickery, everyone is fair.??

The robbery is very incompetent, and he only knows a stupid attack, but it is not a long-term way to drag it out, so add another fire, send people to continue to spread rumors, and fool you into riding and robbing the ancestral graves of the people of Qi and torture and killing the prisoners of Qi, so the whole city is furious. Counterattack, first sent people to lie that they wanted to surrender, and then launched the men, women and children of the two cities, even the head of the cow was tied to the knife, and the buttocks were lit with fire, and the chest of the people of Qi [***] was already blazing with fire, attacking, breaking the Yan army, the arrogant enemy corpses were thousands of miles away, the lost land was suddenly recovered, and the suffering Qi country was finally not dead, and finally reborn. Later commentaries gave this story a very popular name--- Fire Bull Array. (To be continued.) )
