The Huns spent half the night setting up a very simple camp, but even so, the Qin army in Qi County did not have the courage to go out of the city to fight with it!

It's a good idea to fight while the enemy is still on the ground, but only if you can win! If the battle is defeated, it will not only consume the living forces defending the city in advance, but also make your own morale fall to the bottom, and the enemy's morale will rise to the peak!

Such a danger is Wang Qian, Qi County, and Qin State cannot take it! Because no one dares to guarantee how much combat power there is for the 200,000 tired Huns! Once the Qin army out of the city is surrounded by the Xiongnu army, will the army left in the city save it or not?!

Maybe it was too tiring to travel thousands of miles, maybe the Huns found that Qi County had more than 50,000 troops garrisoned, and Qi County was strong and difficult to break, in short, the Huns did not launch any offensive in the first three days of arriving in Qi County, but were busy building siege equipment! Although it was just simple equipment such as ladders and crashes, it still made Qin Jun's face extremely ugly!

Because in the north of the city, the Qin army also had a camp of more than 10,000 people, but the Huns were unmoved and only cared about building siege equipment. Obviously, in the eyes of the Huns, this camp is already in the bag of the Huns! Perhaps, the idea of the Huns is to take this camp in one go, and then attack the city! In that case, why take this camp first and then build siege engines?!

The Xiongnu were originally more barbaric and ferocious than the Qin army, and when the Xiongnu were no longer brutal, it became even more terrifying! Of course, no matter how ferocious and powerful the Xiongnu were, Wang Jian would not be afraid. Because although the Qin State is big, behind Qi County is Xianyang, and there is no way out for the Qin State, and there is no way out for Wang Jian to retreat! It can only be a bloody battle to the end!

On the sixth day of the first month, with the completion of the construction of Xiongnu siege equipment. A whining horn resounded throughout the world! The defenders of Qixian County immediately discovered that the Xiongnu army was massively assembled! The defenders at the head of the city immediately reported this important news to the guard Wang Qian.

Hearing that the Xiongnu were gathering a large army to prepare for the siege of the city, Wang Jian was not worried but happy. These days, the pressure on the Qin army is really too great! On the battlefield, the soldiers' greatest fear is not death, but waiting for death. For enemies who have never dealt with before. When it comes to a big fight, the most important thing is to get acquainted with the enemy's weaknesses and confirm your strengths!

No matter how bad the Qin army is, Qi County will not be defeated by the Xiongnu army overnight! When the Qin army realized that the Xiongnu army was nothing more than that, self-confidence returned! Therefore, in Wang Qian's view, the most difficult thing is that at the beginning and near the end, the former Xiongnu morale is strong, and the latter Xiongnu may make the final struggle; As for the middle part, the Qin army only needed to defend the city step by step. Bring the war into your own rhythm and you can!

After all, compared to the Xiongnu, the Qin army had plenty of grain and grass! Although the number of Xiongnu is large, it means that the consumption of grain and grass is also incalculable! Especially the Huns have one person and one horse, or even one person and two horses! War horses consume several times more grain and grass than ordinary soldiers! The Qin army didn't even have to fight to win, it only needed to dampen the morale of the Xiongnu and cut off the source of food and grass supply for the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu would retreat!

Of course, Yiquhong knows his own strengths and weaknesses, from Qingyang to Qixian. The grain and grass collected along the way was only enough to meet the needs of the 200,000 Hun army in January. A month later, if the Xiongnu could not take Qi County. Replenish grain and grass, and the Hun army will be wiped out under the city of Qixian! Because at this time, even if the Xiongnu wanted to retreat, there was not enough food and grass. Therefore, the safer time is twenty days, and within twenty days, either the Hun army will take Qi County. Either the Huns get new supplies of grain and grass, otherwise, this war will end!

In this way, time is particularly precious to the Huns! However, Yiquhong insisted on attacking Qi County after building siege equipment, in order not to give Qin a chance to boost morale. The Xiongnu army could naturally launch a fierce attack as soon as it reached the city of Qixian. But the lack of siege equipment has no greater effect except for adding casualties and consuming the Qin army! Instead, the Qin army would accumulate small victories and develop a sense of superiority and self-confidence in the Xiongnu. This is something that Yiquhong definitely does not want to do! The so-called haste is not reached, and this is basically the case.

An hour later, the Xiongnu army completed its assembly. A full 50,000 soldiers came out of the camp and formed a five-person standard phalanx of 10,000 people. As soon as the Huns came up, they made such a big move, and it was obvious that they intended to fight quickly. This also means that if there is no temptation between the two sides, the war will directly enter the white heat!

Wang Jian stared at the direction of the Xiongnu army, secretly thinking about where the Xiongnu might use troops. The south gate was sent first, if the Xiongnu wanted to attack the south gate, they would have surrounded Qi County long ago, in other words, the Xiongnu also knew that behind Qi County was the Guanzhong Plain, which was fertile and thousands of miles away, and in this core land of the Qin State, the Qin State had deployed a large army! If the Xiongnu attacked Qixian from the south gate, it would be easy to suffer from the direction of the Guanzhong Plain. The remaining optional ones are the North Gate, the East Gate, and the West Gate, and the West Gate is near the mountain, although the Xiongnu soldiers who are attacking the city have all dismounted, but the restrictions of the terrain doom the Xiongnu to attack the army of no more than 3,000 people at a time!

These thoughts flashed in Wang Qian's heart, and Wang Jian quickly concluded that the direction of the Xiongnu's main attack was definitely the East Gate and the North Gate, especially the camp outside the North Gate where Qi County was a horn for each other.

With the whining horn, the five Hun phalanxes moved, and as Wang Jian expected, three went straight to the nearest north gate, one to the east gate, and one to the west gate. Among them, the phalanx in the direction of the west gate is obviously smaller, only half of the number of phalanxes in other directions, and the five thousand cavalry that have not been invested in the siege should be used to receive it in the center!

The Qin army watched the Xiongnu army approaching slowly but firmly, and they all cheered up the spirit of 120,000 points. Many soldiers were sweating their palms and holding the weapons in their hands tightly. The archers were placed at the front as usual, and when the Xiongnu army rushed closer, they were the main troops of the Qin army to suppress the Xiongnu attack!

Through the rejection array, Yang Shun, the captain of the Qin Military Academy, tried his best to calm the tension in his heart, no one knew that Yang Shun, who did not change his face, was actually very nervous in his heart! Because he knew very well that it was a matter of time before the camp was broken, and he repelled this attack of the Huns, and there will be another time! Defeated next time, and next time! As long as the Huns spare their lives, all the traps can be filled!

If you want to win this war, you must inflict the greatest casualties on the Xiongnu in the shortest possible time, and only in this way can you make the Xiongnu jealous and deviate from morality! After all, the Xiongnu was not a unified centralized state, in the final analysis, it was more like the convergence of a tribal alliance, and the head of this alliance depended on his strength in terms of how much power he had to speak. Who will replace him as the next Shan Yu is also based on strength! No one wants to sacrifice too much, but all people want to live their lives to the greatest benefit, which is determined by the selfishness of human nature! Can't change it!

Wang Jian had clearly told Yang Shun that once the war started, there would be very little support he could provide, but he would definitely do his best! As long as there is still one person alive under Yang Shun, the camp cannot be lost! If the camp is lost, then the next one will be Qi County's turn! Wang Jian has decided to live and die with Qi County! If it is destined to be the failure of the Qin State, it is just the difference between early death and late death! If the Qin State is still capable of turning the tide, the most important thing is two people, one is Yang Shun and the other is Wang Qian!

"Everyone obeys the general's orders, and then release the arrows after getting permission!" Yang Shun was afraid that his archers would be too nervous and release their arrows in advance, wasting a limited number of arrows, so Dasheng reminded.

"The general has an order, and he is not allowed to release arrows without permission!"

"The general has an order, and he is not allowed to release arrows without permission!" The sound of one after another soon spread Yang Shun's order to the ears of every archer.

The Qin army in the camp watched the Xiongnu getting closer and closer to them, from three hundred steps to two hundred steps, from entering the range of bows and arrows, the speed of the sprinting Hun soldiers became faster and faster, but the archers did not hear the order of their own general to release arrows! It wasn't until the Hun soldiers entered the best range of one hundred and fifty paces that the archers heard Yang Shun's roar and continuous shouting, "Shoot the arrows!" Shoot the arrows! ”

A dense rain of arrows fell on the charging Xiongnu army, instantly taking hundreds of lives. Bows and arrows and crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, and at a distance of more than a hundred paces, the Huns did not have enough reaction time to dodge! Even if there were, there was nothing they could do without a shield! The thin leather armor could not stop the arrows from shooting into the flesh and blood, and every moment the Huns fell and could not stand up again.

Of course, the Huns knew that if they wanted to change this situation of being passively beaten, they had to approach the Qin army camp, which was a race against death, and if you ran fast, you might not be able to win, but if you run slowly, you will definitely die!

The number of Xiongnu is too much, a full 30,000 people focus on taking care of the camp of the Qin army, although the Xiongnu soldiers who charged at the beginning were only 10,000, but it was also five times the number of archers of the Qin army! Before they had time to empty half of their quivers, the Huns crashed headlong into the horse rejection array set up by the Qin army. In just a quarter of an hour, less than two hundred paces, the Huns paid more than two thousand casualties, but the Huns did not find it difficult to accept at all! A warrior who can die on the road of charging is also the best destination for a warrior! The creed of the Huns, after death, the soul returns to the earth, and the life is happy to take revenge! They believed that as long as this rejection array was broken, the Qin army behind the rejection array would be vulnerable.

The swordsmen of the Qin army entered the horse rejection formation with dexterous shields in their hands, and behind them were crossbowmen and spearmen, in groups of three, skillfully coordinated. Just now, the archers have done their best to eliminate more than 2,000 Hun soldiers, and next, it is their turn to contribute to the defense of the camp, the defense of Qi County, and the defense of Xianyang!
