Cheng Gongying smiled, these rough people are so funny when they talk, and the lord is not a fool, if you go out to die, you will go out and die!

At that moment, he had the intention to tease Sun Jian and shouted: "Oh, it turned out to be General Sun!" My lord said that he is about to eat at this time, and he wants you to wait a while! Anyway, no matter how Sun Jian answered, after instructing his subordinates to defend carefully, he dodged down the city wall and went home to sleep.

It is said that Sun Jian believed Cheng Gongying's words as true, and waited until noon, when he did not see the enemy come out, and immediately knew that he had been tricked, and he was furious at the moment, and with a wave of the ancient ingot knife, he ordered the siege of the city.

When he landed, 3,000 Jiangdong soldiers took the lead in killing forward, and Huang Zhong was even more reluctant to lose face in front of his comrades, and at the same time waved his army up, more than 20,000 foot soldiers carried the ladder, screamed, and killed forward.

At the head of the city, Cheng Gongying had already gotten the news, looking at Sun Jian, who was thunderous with anger below, he smiled, not worried at all, seeing that the official army was within 100 meters, he suddenly waved his big hand, and gave an order, and in an instant, more than 10,000 crossbowmen appeared on the city wall, and the arrows rained down, densely rolling towards the officials and soldiers, Huang Zhong saw it, but he was not in a hurry, and raised his shield with a roar, and the army immediately took off the shield from his back and blocked it above his head.

The Jiangdong soldiers did not have shields, so they could only wave the weapons in their hands and dial the arrows on the spot, but the arrows rained down, how could they call in a hurry! Within a short time, hundreds of people fell from arrows. Sun Jianqi's tiger eyes were about to pop out. While being jealous of Han Jin's nouveau riche, he also made up his mind to go back and slander Han Jin.

Huang Zhong naturally saw the dynamics of the Jiangdong infantry, and immediately ordered someone to report to Sun Jian, let the Jiangdong soldiers retreat, and leave the battle to himself, the little pawn did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to find Sun Jian, not wanting Sun Jian to feel that he had lost face, so he didn't agree, and he wanted to participate in the war.

Huang Zhong couldn't, so he had to hand over the army to Pang De to command, and he went to Sun Jian himself, and after some explanation, Sun Jian quit the army.

After a while, after suffering one or two hundred unlucky recruits, the officers and soldiers were killed under the city wall, but at this time, Cheng Gongying suddenly ordered to throw stones.

The shield can block the arrows, but it can't block the large stones of the millstone, and the flesh and blood that were smashed one by one are blurred, and even a recruit was hit on the top of his head by a stone because of hesitation and evasion, and immediately, his head was smashed, leaving only his bare body to fall to the ground obliquely, and the side of his neck was still gushing blood like a fountain.

The smell of blood made some recruits fearful, and at the same time, it also aroused the blood surnames of these northwest men, but when they saw that they looked at each other, they shouted, bit the knife into their mouths, raised their shields in their right hands, climbed the ladder with their left hands, and quickly climbed up the city wall like a spirit ape......

The stones on the head of the city became more urgent and denser.

Huang Zhong didn't expect it, Sun Jian didn't expect it, and Cheng Gongying didn't expect that the siege on the first day was so fierce, and the official army attacked so fiercely.

The ruthless Qiang people are indeed invincible, and they have the advantage of geographical advantage. Even if Han Jin's army was well-trained and Pang De Huang Zhong commanded well, after a day of fruitless attack, he could only order the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.

After returning to the camp, the number of people was counted, and there were more than 600 deaths, but most of the dead were recruits, and thousands of people were wounded, but all of them were slightly injured.

Even so,. Huang Zhong and Pang De were also distressed for a while, you must know that Han Jin spent an unknown amount of money and effort in order to train these foot soldiers, and each of them consumed more than five times that of the rest of the county soldiers.

After lunch, Sun Jian discussed the military situation with Huang Zhong and others for a long time, but the current situation, except for attacking the city, he could not think of any other way. had to return to the military tent in a gloomy manner.

The next day, Sun Jian attacked the city as he said yesterday, but due to the arrival of light troops, the siege equipment was seriously insufficient. Therefore, despite the courage of the officers and soldiers, they still did not capture Jincheng. There was no way, Sun Jian and Huang Zhong had no choice but to order the lieutenant generals to do overnight processing to build siege equipment. It's just that these are not a simple success.

Sun Jian's surname was in a hurry, so he led thousands of troops around the counties around Jincheng and swept them through. The bandits and thieves from all over the country were wiped out, and at the same time, the golden city was surrounded on all sides.

……

However, it was said that after Han Jin cleaned up the battlefield that night, he marched all the way, and rushed back to Chang'an in the afternoon of the second day, and then set off from Jingyang with 40,000 troops non-stop, crossed Chiyang, and collected grain and grass from all over the country.

The next afternoon, they rushed to the Northland. The rapid march along the way was a bitter two, these two people were Xi Zhicai and Yuan Shu, of course, even Han Jin couldn't stand such a rapid march, let alone them? Xi Zhicai was born as a literati, and his body was weak. And Yuan Shu is pampered, and he hasn't suffered much, and along the way, I don't know how many times he has secretly scolded Han Jin's ancestors for eighteen generations.

It's night, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the stars are bright and the moon is bright! After Han Jin set up camp, he invited Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo to come to discuss the matter.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Han Jin sat down with his hands high, Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo on the left below, and Zhang Fei on the right, Gan Ning, Guan Hai and others.

Han Jin glanced at everyone, and when he saw Yuan Shushen's unruly appearance, he coughed, woke everyone up, and said, "Everyone, it is clear that my army is about to reach the hinterland of the enemy, everyone must be careful, don't go away." ”

Yuan Shu snorted in his heart, and said in his heart: Let you be arrogant for a while! According to your own body, the general has already informed his uncle in detail, and when he collects some more evidence, when your army returns, he will also accept it.

Han Jin didn't know what Yuan Shu was thinking. continued: "Our army smashed Huanglong this time, but it was a lone army, and the food and grass supplies were all gone, which was a taboo for this soldier, so whenever he encountered the enemy, whether it was the Huns or the Qiang people, regardless of men, women and children, they would kill all of them and feed the war with war. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he became happy, he always thought that the treatment of these foreigners should be deterred by force, Han Jin said this, just in line with his intentions, and immediately got up and said: "What General Han said is true, these barbarians, who have always been disobedient, should be killed as an example." ”

Zhang Fei, Ganning and the others didn't answer, and Xi Zhicai frowned, Han Jin had not discussed this order with him beforehand. Glancing at Han Jin, he said, "Lord ......"

Han Jin waved his hand to stop Xi Zhicai's words, he knew what Xi Zhicai was going to say, but he didn't feel that he was wrong.

The Han nation prides itself on being a state of etiquette, and for the bullying of others, it is usually a soldier who will block it, and if it can, it will be done, and if it can't be stopped, let it rob and bully, and then say, I am a big country, a state of etiquette, and I don't have a general opinion with barbarians.

It is precisely this kind of thinking that has slowly formed a habit, so that the Han people have been bullied by the Saiwai ethnic groups since ancient times, and the consequence is that the five indiscriminate China. That period of history almost caused the Han people to die, and if it weren't for Ran Min's order to kill Hu, the Han people in later generations would not know how many people would survive.

……

Xi Zhicai saw that Han Jin had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, smart women will always take care of their husbands' face in front of outsiders, although they are the emperor at home, and smart strategists are the same, in front of outsiders, they will never go up to their superiors. Undoubtedly, Xi Zhi is an extremely clever one. It's a pity that some people just don't understand such a simple truth, so that later Cao Ying's subordinates were too arrogant and finally died.

However, Xi Zhicai took care of Han Jin's face, but some people didn't care about it, and they stood up to Han Jin on the spot......
