The spreading fire drove away the bitter cold of winter, and at this moment the combat effectiveness of the soldiers really came into play.

However, the Huns were a little flustered because they were stolen from the show, and the main general was killed, so the physical strength brought by the warmth was not used by them in battle.

With the morale of Sun Qing and others greatly shaken, the Huns completely lost the confidence to resist.

If it was a charge and battle on weekdays, more than 1,000 Han cavalry would be nothing to four or five thousand Huns, but in the middle of the night in such a cold winter, in the face of most of the Hun cavalry who did not get on the horse, these more than 1,000 Han cavalry completely became impermanent.

The Huns eventually broke up.

So, the cavalry began to chase the fleeing enemy, and the infantry, which received the signal, began to clean up the battlefield.

Nearly dawn, with the help of the people, the captured horses and some of the remaining grain and grass equipment of the Huns were finally transported back to the city, and the Xiongnu camp, which stretched for more than ten miles, also turned into a scorched earth overnight.

Early the next morning, seeing the beaming looks on everyone's faces, Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

"The handsome genius of the sky, just from the cooking and drinking fireworks, you can know that the main force of the Huns is not here, and I really admire it." Sun chuckled and patted Zhang Yan's ass.

"However, last night's stealing camp was really thrilling, if they met on weekdays, these Huns could be regarded as great enemies! Much stronger than the Qiang people! Zhang Yan, who counted the casualties, also had a little understanding of the combat strength of the Huns.

In that case, they can still fight back, and the Huns can be regarded as elite.

"However, this Hun camp has finally been broken by us, and now that the Hun camp has been broken, the crisis in Shangjun has been resolved, right?"

"Not necessarily, the main force of the Huns is missing, and there must be other plans. And today we have seen through the tricks of the Huns, and the Huns may be angry and attack the city in a big way. Zhang Yan didn't quite agree with Sun Qing's words, and was still a little worried.

Sun thought about it and nodded.

"So, we can't afford to let up right now. On the one hand, we have to inform the lord of the military situation here, and on the other hand, we have to defend it strictly. Zhang Yan then said.

And the situation of Xihe is just as Xi Zhicai expected.

The Xiongnu and Qiang, a total of 75,000 men and horses, were all dispatched.

Leaving 4,000 people to defend the false camp was used to confuse Zhang Yan and Cui Jun, thinking that it was a strategy to lure the enemy.

Then the army lay in ambush on the road from the West River to Shangjun, ready to crush the reinforcements in one fell swoop, and then drove straight into the West River, before entering the east of the river, then west to Chang'an, and finally north through Shuofang to return.

This plan is impeccable in the eyes of the Huns, and the Huns did it in history, and they also kidnapped a generation of talented women Cai Yan.

It's a pity that today's merger is no longer the merger state in history that can be left to the Huns with the departure of Ding Yuan and Lu Bu.

As the defeated Xiongnu army defeated by Sun Qing fled to Qubei, Qubei knew that the plan had failed.

However, he still did not panic.

The strength in their hands is still several times greater than that of the Xihe defenders, and now the Han people have seen through the plan, and it is harmless.

"The matter has come to this point, the only way is to attack the West River in a big way, while the Bingzhou army is still in a stalemate with Ugoli in the east, we must quickly capture the West River, otherwise the situation will be unfavorable to us." Qubei gathered the chiefs and began to deliberate.

"Although we have a lot of soldiers, if we want to take Xihe quickly, I'm afraid it won't be easy." Wang Juan's confidence is not very strong. After all, he has already suffered a small loss from Cui Jun, and he knows that Cui Jun is not very easy to deal with.

"It's really a little difficult to do, but if you work hard, it's not impossible, even if we can't capture the West River in the end, we can find an opportunity to quietly go south, after all, we are all cavalry, and it is difficult for the Han people to stop us, but if we don't go down the city and have no supplies, I'm afraid it won't last." Qubei rubbed his eyes and said helplessly.

“。”

After receiving the grain and grass, Raj went back to the camp to reorganize the army and horses, and prepared to besiege Dingxiang again.

After Raj left, Yu Fuluo said, "What a great opportunity, I missed it like this." ”

He said with a straight smile: "It doesn't have to be like this, the Dingxiang guard will dare to lead thousands of soldiers and horses out of the city to steal the camp, which shows that this person is very brave and resourceful, and he is a rare general." Therefore, Raj besieging Dingxiang will not take advantage. ”

Yu Fuluo nodded and said, "This is very good, in this battle, we must not only destroy Lu Feng, but also destroy this kid Raji." With this kid here, I can't unify the entire Huns. ”

Grabbed the straight and said: "Rest assured, Raj is not afraid." The real person to be feared is Lu Feng. ”

Yu Fuluo said: "I hope Lu Feng can fight with us this time." ”

After listening to Yu Fuluo's words, he turned silent. The real grassland duel, I don't know who will kill the deer.

After receiving the battle report from Dingxiang, Lu Feng couldn't help but applaud, a good Zhang Liao, a good Zhang Wenyuan, what a talent. At the same time, Lu Feng also praised Jia Xu and Fu Zhu, because Dingxiang's battle report proved that their inference was correct.

And Jia Xu and Fu Zhu and others, while happy, they also had an extra layer of worry.

Jia Xu said: "After two days of our spying, the main force of the Xiongnu was between Dingxiang and Yunzhong. Therefore, as long as we send troops to aid Dingxiang, we will definitely encounter the Huns. Therefore, sooner or later we will have a battle with the Huns. ”

Fu Zhu also said: "After our investigation in the past two days, the main force of the Huns should be no less than 100,000, but the soldiers in Yunzhong City are less than 50,000, plus the soldiers and horses of Shuofang and Wuyuan, our troops are still slightly insufficient. If there is a decisive battle with the Huns on the steppe, the outcome is really unpredictable. ”

After listening to the analysis of the two military advisors, Lu Feng nodded and said: "What the two of you said is extremely true, so I will concentrate all the military forces of the state and fight to the death with the Huns, so as to achieve the success of the first battle." ”

Listening to Lu Feng's words, all the generals nodded yes, their blood was boiling, they were gearing up, and they were very yearning for the success of that battle.

But Yu said: "Actually, this battle is not a difficult thing. General Zhang Wenyuan broke the Xiongnu camp, and the Huns' grain and grass would be very scarce. Therefore, as long as we hold out for a few days, and wait for the Huns to run out of food, we will be able to defeat the Huns. ”

After Yu finished speaking, everyone agreed.

But Liu Ye said: "Zhong Xiang is reasonable, but I am a little worried about the situation in Dingxiang. General Zhang Wenyuan broke the Xiongnu camp, and the Huns will not give up, they will definitely retaliate, and they will definitely attack Xiangcheng again. Moreover, the Huns have no food and grass, so they will step up the time to attack the city, and at that time, the pressure on Dingxiang City will be great. ”

After Liu Ye finished speaking, Lu Feng said: "Zi's threat is reasonable, so Dingxiang must be saved, and the key is when to save it." I hope Zhang Wenyuan can stay for a few more days. ”

Jia Xu said: "Now, we can summon the soldiers and horses of Shuofang and Wuyuan into the clouds, and then rescue Dingxiang together and fight to the death with the Huns." I believe that after a few days, the Huns' grain and grass will be almost used up. However, if General Zhang Wenyuan can hold on for a few more days, then the lord's chances of victory will be a few points higher. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Lu Feng nodded and said, "Just do it." ”

When Lu Bu and Xi Zhi guessed, Qubei and the others had already come to Lishi City.

In the face of tens of thousands of Hun iron horsemen, Cui Jun knew that he had no capital to attack, so he could only defend it.

After all, the Huns were cavalry and were not good at attacking cities.

The Huns and Qiang repaired for a day, built some ladders for the siege, and the next day began to attack the city.

Lishi, an old city that has been ravaged by war for a hundred years, finally ushered in the baptism of blood and fire again.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at the Huns and Qiang people who walked down from the horseback, Cui Jun's face was extremely heavy.

Even the sound of trumpets and shouts in the sky is truly terrifying.

The scheming and humble nature moved to let the Qiang people act as the siege vanguard.

And this time, there is no distinction between priority and priority, and they attack from all sides.

It is completely a battle to win with brute force by relying on a large number of men and horses.

Therefore, Cui Jun had no choice but to divide his troops to defend, but there were only about 15,000 defenders in the city, and they were evenly divided, and there were only about 3,000 people on one side of the city wall.

It's a bit stretched defensively.

So much so that Cui Jun, a civil official, had to stand on the city wall.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the Qiang people carried the ladder into the range of the crossbow arrows, Cui Jun hurriedly gave the order.

Fortunately, the garrison in the city was quite rich in materials, whether it was crossbow arrows, fire oil, and rolling stones and wood, they were all well prepared, and the civilians in the city were also enthusiastic to help transport them.

With the shot of crossbow arrows, the Qiang people besieging the city fell to the ground one after another.

However, more people stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed up again.

However, the arrows in the city kept falling, and the vanguard of the Qiang people could be said to be dead and wounded, screaming and wailing all over the field.

Seeing this, Uggoli was furious and urged his horse to come to the front of the battle to command, and of course, he stood out of the range of the crossbow arrows.

With the command of the leader, the morale of the Qiang people was greatly shaken, and finally, after paying nearly a thousand casualties at the north gate, the Qiang people finally set up a ladder on the city wall and began to climb towards the city.

But the bow and arrow were only the first line of defense, and as the Qiang came around the city walls, rolling stones, sasswood, and fire oil once again became sharp weapons of killing.

However, it didn't take long for the defenders to suffer casualties.

After all, the Qiang people are numerous.

There are always a few who will climb up to the top of the city from the thinly defended corners.

Like the battle at the North Gate, the other gates also started the battle of the city head with the Qiang.

The war had just begun, and the number of Qiang people who climbed to the top of the city was very limited, and they were able to climb the top of the city not because they could not resist it, but because they were lucky, and the defense there was only in an intermittent period.

As soon as most of the Qiang soldiers climbed to the top of the city, they were stabbed by merciless swords and guns.

More were on the ladder and were smashed down by the rolling log.

In the course of the hand-to-hand engagement, the casualties on both sides began to intensify, and blood stained the city walls. In the bitter cold wind, the strong smell of blood began to permeate and drift away with the cold air.
