The forward officer of Helian is named Shuotai, one of the two seventh-order cavalry generals under Helian, who is good at using archers and cavalry, and his mind is also quite flexible, so he was entrusted with the important task of vanguard.

After Shuotai captured the Yinshan level, he immediately sent a large number of scouts south to inquire about the news to decide the next move, now Shuotai's position is very good, the initiative is very strong, both to the southeast to attack Jining, but also to the south to attack Qiangyin, or choose to attack Dingxiang to the west is also a good idea.

But more choices will make people hesitate, if you want to win the most scarce food in the tribe in one fell swoop, the action needs to be as accurate as possible, in fact, Shuotai himself does not bring much food, if you can't get the food as soon as possible, it will be a big trouble.

Unlike the Han people, the Hu people do not have food that can be stored for a long time, and what is worse is that now the plants in the wild have been eaten by locusts, and they can eat dried meat and dig mice, but what about war horses? You can't switch to eating meat.

Soon, the scouts reported the results of the reconnaissance, and found signs of cavalry activity around Dingxiang, and nothing was found in the south, but the distance of Qiangyin was the farthest, Shuotai was not very optimistic about this direction, and he went south to Qiangyin, what if the cavalry active in Dingxiang cut off his back road from the flank?

In the end, the fact that the Han people delivered a large amount of grain to Jining made Shuotai make up his mind to attack Jining, and now that the Han cavalry is in the west, if he seizes the opportunity to raid Jining in the east, he may be able to get an unexpected harvest!

Soon after, the order from the sweat tent also coincided with Shuotai's thoughts. Helian's idea is also to raid Jining, and as for the Yinshan Pass, Helian's rear army will speed up. Rush to this pass as soon as possible to protect this back road.

So Shuotai no longer hesitated, and immediately led his 50,000 cavalry to go straight to Jining.

In Jining City, Yu Ban was busy arranging defenses, and according to Yuwen Boyan's message, the Xianbei people seemed to have intended to attack Jining in the south, and there was not much time for Yu Ban to prepare.

"Are the water sources outside the city blocked?"

"General, it's all blocked! Those who are not easy to block are thrown a lot of poison into it. ”

"Dig more rat holes outside the city."

"No1

"The raw cowhide shelter should be prepared. There were also crossbow arrows and arrows, which were transported to the cave under the city wall. ”

"No1

"The trebuchet and the crossbow calibration will be completed as soon as possible, and then the calibration map will be distributed to the Inhumans who have already taken the mission."

"It's done! General 1

"Good. In addition, the militia in the city trained for an hour every day, and the food was distributed in two parts. ”

"No1

In the atmosphere of intense preparation for war in Jining City, the Xianbei people finally arrived.

The dust raised from the sky exposed the whereabouts of the Xianbei people. Yu Ban's reconnaissance staff officer controlled the flying eagle and quickly observed the situation. The enemy army was 50,000 cavalry of the Xianbei people, and they all looked like soldiers.

The Xianbei people are not a professional army, they lack standard equipment, and they wear a variety of clothes, but the team is quite neat, but the war horses look a little thin.

The faint sound of muffled thunder came from afar, and under the background of yellow smoke and dust, black light soldiers appeared in everyone's field of vision. Soon the entire earthy yellow wilderness was occupied, and the eyes were full of hideous enemies. They shouted this, as if to proclaim their pride and self-confidence.

"Trebuchets, crossbows ready 1

"The arrow board is erected1

"Light crossbowmen wound! Heavy crossbowmen winding 1

"The militia is in place! Shortstop in position 1

"Don't be nervous, war horses can't jump on the city wall, they have to climb the wall with a grappling hook, one by one, just like a gecko waiting for you to chop it to death, don't be nervous1

"Huh"

The soldiers smiled softly, and the tension in their hearts dissipated invisibly.

"Fellow guerrillas, pay attention, the generals of the Xianbei people are difficult to distinguish, one is to look at the feathers on their hats, the other is to see if they are wearing armor, the better the armor, the higher the position, shoot the commander to death and reward a fifth-order famous general card, don't miss it1

"Hehe, the captains are all sixth-order, and only fifth-order 1 will be rewarded

"If there is any loot that is higher than the fifth order, it will be rewarded to you, don't worry that you can't lose, follow our Youzhou Army only to make money and not to lose, don't you understand this truth?"

"What if you shoot a seventh-order enemy general?"

"Then reward the sixth-order famous general card."

"Okay, I'll aim for the seventh-order shot 1

"Second goods, you're only fourth-order and still want to shoot the seventh-order?"

"Maybe I'm lucky.1

Watching the players giggling and arguing, the generals did not stop it, and at this time, proper relaxation will make everyone forget their fears.

"Here it is, Drums 1

"Knock Woo"

For a time, the war drums of the Han army and the horns of the Xianbei people contended, and the horses' hooves rumbled outside the city, and the smoke and dust covered the sun, which made the battlefield observers a lot more difficult, but they were all formally trained observers, and they had rich experience, and they could roughly judge a lot of information based on the sound.

"From west to east, watch out for defensive shooting, a hundred and ten paces away! Shooting Setup 1

"The trebuchet is ready! The Megabow is loaded1

"Volley! Then cut off the shot 1

"Heavy crossbow ready, direction zero four, angle of fire forty, ready, put 1

"Reload, detachment round shot 1

"The light crossbowmen are ready, the first team comes forward to shoot! The first team retreats, and the second team steps forward to shoot! １

"The shield soldier is on the defensive, raising the shield on the left side 1

Yu Ban stood on the city gate tower and calmly commanded, a dark cloud composed of pieces of gravel or crossbow arrows accurately covered the Xianbei people, although the effect of the damage was not very satisfactory, but in terms of exchange ratio, Yu Ban took advantage of it, it seems that the general staff's defense regulations for cavalry siege are really useful, and the attacks of the Xianbei people have almost no effect.

Yu Ban found that it was actually the Xianbei people themselves who caused the most damage, their horses tripped over rat holes, were shot down by trebuchets and crossbow arrows, and then the chaos and stampede caused by them were the most important injuries.

The rank of the enemy general is really as stated in the intelligence, it is a seventh-order general, and the bonus to the troops is very high, Yu Ban suffers a little in this regard, he himself is still a sixth-order, and Yu Ban's troops do not have military divisions, so it is still a little difficult to fight, fortunately, the enemy army under the city is not good at attacking the city.

There are also some conjectures about the fact that the General Staff did not send military divisions to Yu Ban in this battle, and it is likely that he deliberately made his combat strength slightly worse, so as to stick to these Xianbei people who were besieging the city as much as possible.

After a round of fierce attack by the Xianbei people, they found that there was almost no serious damage to the city, and the opponent's defense was very good, but fortunately, the damage on their side was not large, and the loss of more than 1,000 people was still bearable, as long as it continued to be consumed, and when the defenders in the city ran out of ammunition, it might be the time to break the city, in fact, the Hu people have always used this method to attack the city

Jining City started fighting, Yuwen Boyan immediately waved his army to pounce on the Yinshan level, under Yuwen Boyan's heavy crossbow, the thousands of troops defending the checkpoint were quickly annihilated, the loss of the Yinshan level made Helian panic, if this passage is cut off, their vanguard troops can beat the dog with meat buns, that is all elite, it is the youth of the tribe, this is absolutely unacceptable!

He Lian immediately left his battalion, ran south with 100,000 horsemen from his headquarters, and rushed to the Yinshan checkpoint.

Yuwen Boyan saw that Helian was menacing, and after a little resistance, he withdrew from the Yinshan checkpoint, camped with the company's army at the checkpoint, and sent reinforcements south, but this time it happened to enter Yuwen Boyan's pocket, the small number of cavalry were destroyed, and the large number was also entangled by Yuwen Boyan, using his range advantage to harass him to the best of his ability, just not to let the other party rush to Jining to support.

Helian is also a little numb now, Jining is a piece here, Yinshan Checkpoint is a piece, and the big camp that has been left far behind is a piece, and his own troops have been pulled into a long snake formation! He felt as if he had fallen into a trap.

What's worse is that the food of the Shuotai Department is already insufficient, and more and more Inhuman troops appear around the battlefield, watching Shuotai and the Xianbei people who are going south to reinforce them, although these guys like hungry wolves can't bite you to death, but if you are not careful, it will cause losses, especially those baggage carts loaded with horse grass, most of which are lit by these Inhumans.

Jining City attacked for three days, the result is that Jining City is still endlessly flying out of gravel and arrows, I really don't know how many supplies they have stored, what is even more annoying is that they are cooking on the city wall, the fragrance of those meals wafted into the Xianbei people who were gnawing hard and stone-like jerky, gently sipping the precious muddy water, and their eyes were green.

When attacking the city, the Xianbei people worked harder, for the delicious food in the city, but unfortunately, the harder they worked, the more damage would be greater, and it was impossible for the Xianbei people to knock down the low city wall of Jining.

Shuotai is also anxious, if the logistics can't come up again, his war horse will run out of food the day after tomorrow, and at that time, his troops have become infantry, thinking about the Han cavalry that is entangled with the support troops, Shuotai's heart is cold.

The next day, the ruthless Shuotai attacked Jining regardless of the losses, the battle was unprecedentedly fierce, but the effect was also limited, although the damage to the defenders of the city was greater, but the loss of his own troops was even more amazing, the loss of half a thousand troops in one day, and even a captain was killed.

Under the sunset, Shuotai looked at the big flag fluttering in the city and always felt a little dazzling, it seemed to be a little familiar, he remembered that they didn't hang this seemingly bigger flag before, Shuotai looked carefully, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

This, this is the banner of the Dark Devil! No wonder the defenders of the city are so able to fight, no wonder the morale is so low today!

It turns out that this is already the territory of the Dark Devils! Oops, I'm afraid I and the Khan King have been fooled! The mountains of grain in this Jining are clearly a trap! To be continued.
