The Fujiao army followed Li Qin and shouted loudly, as if they wanted to vent the hard work of Lian Yue and the worries of these people about their families at this moment, and when the battle started after a while, they couldn't shout anymore!

After chanting, Li Qin waved his hand, all the Fujiao troops dismounted, and the soldiers drove their horses backwards, and the auxiliaries behind took care of them, while they slowly moved forward, and lined up at a distance of one mile from the Huns, ready to fight.

In front, Liu Jiu was sandwiched in the middle of the army, and behind him was his own Daxu, the warriors who belonged to the Nine Tents on the grassland, as long as they saw this Daxu, they would gather over, which was a symbol of his status as a king.

Although he is the king, second only to the existence of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, in the face of the Fujiao army, Liu Jiu must also have the spirit of twelve points, and dare not have the slightest carelessness. Liu Jiu stood up on his horse, looked at the Fujiao Army, and asked, "How many people did Li Qin bring?" Why can't the empty bag find a letter until now? ”

A Hun soldier replied: "Our people can't get by, the scouts of the Fujiao army will release arrows when they see our empty bags, and we can only see them when they come, and we can't find out the whole picture of the Fujiao army." ”

Liu Jiu was extremely shocked in his heart, and he said again: "Are you sure this is the Fujiao Army?" Is there a mistake? This should be an army sent from Luoyang, right? ”

The last time he came to Beidi County, and the Fujiao army battled, at that time the Fujiao army was only a few hundred people, and how long the time had passed, Liu Jiu never imagined that the Fujiao army expanded so quickly, this time he came to fight again, the opposite Fujiao army turned out to be thousands, and it was thousands, just just two Fujiao pioneers who rushed to his king's tent had thousands of soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was strong, and it was known that it was a trained regular army in the first battle, and it was by no means an auxiliary.

In Liu Jiu's cognition, if a Hun soldier wants to become a warrior who can go into battle, it must be cultivated from an early age, and it takes at least ten years of hard work. For him, in less than a year, the Fujiao Army has expanded more than tenfold, which is really unimaginable.

The general next to him heard that he had questions, so he hurriedly went to the front to inspect it himself, and after a while, he said: "King, the battle flags are indeed from the Fujiao Army, and their battle flags have always been the most ridiculous, they are all scribbled by children, and other armies will definitely not use them, so it is easy to recognize." ”

Liu Jiu frowned, he was not a reckless person, before coming up from the grassland, he naturally had to do an investigation into Fujiao Fort, although he couldn't do an in-depth investigation, but the general situation could still be found out. At that time, those empty bags sent out, after they went back, they told Liu Jiu that the large-scale expansion of the Fujiao Army was not only available to the people of all ethnic groups, but also to many former Qiang guards. If it is used to describe the current Fujiao Army, it can be completely described as haggis soup, everyone has it, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is uneven, but there are more people than before.

After Liu Jiu listened to the report, he hesitated for a while, he understood the expansion of the Fujiao Army, and whoever had such good conditions was going to expand the army, but the beginning of the expansion was difficult, and there were countless matters, so whether the combat effectiveness of an army would increase was not in the first few months of the expansion, but at least one or two years, especially the stronger the army, the longer the time. Whether the war is strong or not depends on how many people there are in this army, no matter how much waste there is, it can't help but be impacted.

When Beigong Boyu rebelled, Liu Jiu knew that he couldn't become a climate, and when he heard so many people, he knew that he would definitely have to be suppressed by the official army. Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou rebelled, both of them were more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, but the territory they occupied Beigong Boyu did not even have a county, and Li Wenhou was even worse, although the momentum was very great, and half of the prefecture was stirred, but the real territory was only one county. But Liu Jiu is different, he only took 30,000 people to the south, but these 30,000 people don't want to fight Liangzhou, even if it hits Sizhou, it is possible to coerce Luoyang, this is the difference between the soldiers and the poor, of course, the premise is that he must kill Li Qin first, otherwise there is Li Qin as an obstacle, and he will not want to go to the Central Plains to enjoy it.

Liu Jiu hesitated for several days, and finally felt that he was still sure to kill Li Qin, no matter how Li Qin expanded the army, the combat effectiveness of the Fujiao Army would not be greatly improved, so he sent troops to Liangzhou, but the time was delayed for a long time, and when he led his troops south, he heard that Li Wenhou had suffered a defeat and had been suppressed by Li Qin.

Now Liu Jiu is happy, it doesn't matter if Li Wenhou loses the battle, he doesn't care if he dies or not, he didn't think about supporting it from beginning to end, but this is tantamount to telling him that Li Qin's losses in this battle are not small, not only have the troops suffered, but no matter how strong the soldiers are, they will become tired troops, if he wants to surround Fujiao Fort at this time, and slip Li Qin's army back like a donkey, then he will definitely be able to click Li Qin, so he led the Hun army across the border, and did not attack any county, Directly rushed to the outside of Fort Fujiao and surrounded the castle, he didn't plan to take Fort Fujiao immediately, but waited to slip Li Qin back.

But after arriving at Fujiao Fort, Liu Jiu was surprised, this Fujiao Fort is actually bigger than any county town, composed of several small forts, covering a wide area, and there are more than a dozen beacon towers around, the beacon tower is built high and strong, the wall is more than three zhang thick, and the name of the platform is really not called in vain, and the whole Fenghuo platform is actually no door, soldiers enter and exit are climbing ladders, even if the Huns use siege vehicles to hit the wall...... What kind of car does it have to be, what kind of car can crash through such a thick wall!

Liu Jiu couldn't believe that the Fujiao Army, which was famous for its attack power, actually built their own castle like a turtle shell, and it was the thickest turtle shell in the world.

Almost mad by his own empty bag, Liu Jiu angrily scolded his subordinates, why didn't he explain the situation of the peripheral beacon towers in advance, how can this style of beacon tower be attacked, and the distance between these beacon towers is exactly two arrows, and the two directions of Fujiao Fort that are not near the river are blocked tightly, either take these beacon towers first, or attack from the other side of the river, and there are beacon towers on the other side of the river, the distance is also calculated, the entire Fujiao Fort is repaired like an iron bucket, which direction do the Huns want to attack from, Countless people had to die.

The empty bags were very aggrieved, when they reported to Liu Jiu, it was Liu Jiu himself who didn't believe it, he didn't believe that there would be any castle owner who would build a small castle like this, was it still a fortress one level smaller than the county seat? It is more barracks than barracks, and now Liu Jiu has seen the actual situation, but he doesn't remember what they said at the beginning, and he has to blame it in turn.

Liu Jiu stubbornly ordered to attack Fujiao Fort, and the Huns could not directly attack the castle, so they could only pull out nails one by one and hit the beacon tower one by one. I thought I could play the next one, find experience, and then the speed of the attack could be accelerated. Who knows, from the day Liu Jiu arrived at Fujiao Fort, until Li Qin came back, he didn't even beat down a beacon, but the Huns died seven or eight hundred people, in the face of such a strong fort, but there was no way to start, the Huns couldn't climb up, and finally there was a slack of fighting mood, and they began to grind when attacking, and refused to climb the wall desperately.

If it had been placed in the past, in the face of this kind of fortress, it would have been impossible for Liu Jiu to attack, and it would have been done by bypassing it, but this time he had to fight it down no matter what, otherwise his morale would be greatly discouraged, and he would never be able to fight against the Fujiao army in the future. But he said that he couldn't beat anything, let alone Fujiao Fort, and he couldn't even hit the periphery.

In fact, this kind of situation of encountering a strong city and not being able to break through it was very common in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, and even decades later, Zhuge Liang encountered this kind of problem, and he had no way to solve it, so he could only retreat after running out of food, no matter how powerful Liu Jiu was, it was not as good as Zhuge Liang, and the strong city he encountered was stronger than Zhuge Liang's, and he didn't have a horn cannon, how could he attack the beacon tower, when he was a god?

Liu Jiu was in a hurry, and under extreme anger, he plundered Fuping County, but because the Hun soldiers did not come by surprise, the nearby people had already prepared, he didn't grab anything, he could only set fire to the house and burn the crops, and he could only use this to vent the anger in his heart.

Finally waited until Li Qin came back with the troops, but the first pioneer gave Liu Jiu a dismount, and the Fujiao soldiers rushed into his camp, although they did not hit his king's tent, but they burned hundreds of tents, and the second road was even more fierce, and the general who led the troops saw that he could not rush his king's tent, and turned directly to burn the grain and grass of the Huns, the grain and grass of the Huns soldiers were basically sheep, and the Fujiao army did not kill hundreds of Hun soldiers, but it harmed thousands of sheep, which was more serious than killing!

Liu Jiu knew that Li Qin was coming, why did it take so long to lead the troops out, he commanded the Hun soldiers to catch the sheep, if the sheep were gone, what would the army eat, and the surrounding crops would be burned by him!

Seeing that the Fujiao Army was really an enemy meeting, Liu Jiu shouted at his soldiers: "Li Qin returned to the army in a hurry, and they are all new soldiers, we will definitely be able to kill them all." Cheer up, as long as the Fujiao Army is defeated, the entire Liangzhou will be ours, and you will have whatever you want at that time. This time, this king promised to give you the wealth and wealth of the children of the whole Liangzhou, and the king will not take any of them, but will give them all to you. ”

After all, the Hun soldiers were numerous, and they had been holding back outside the Fujiao Fort for so long, they had already been angry, and they had not been really defeated by the Fujiao Army, so they naturally would not be afraid, listening to the king's promises, everyone shouted, they did not form a team, aimed at the position of the Fujiao Army, rode their horses and charged, and they wanted to send Li Qin directly to the Yin Cao Difu!
