The drums of war were beating, and countless soldiers of the Jin army were resolutely forming a formation outside the city of Shiping to attack the city.

Sima Ting still led the pro-army to garrison the horse to supervise the battle, looking at the two thousand soldiers of the advance battalion of the Xiao cavalry with an indifferent face, and let out an earth-shattering roar, and rushed towards Shiping City without fear of death!

Agui looked at the dense Jin army soldiers under the city from the top of the city and rushed over, holding machetes and showing murderous expressions. When the Jin army rushed into the range of the bow and arrow, he shouted: "Release the arrow!" "With the sound of a bowstring cracking the sky, countless arrows poured down from the city!

The soldiers of the Xiao cavalry army have long been accustomed to this scene, and they have raised their shields to resist, and there are even archers who shoot arrows to the city to suppress the firepower of the Diqiang army. The soldiers of the cavalry rushed to the bottom of the city, set up a ladder upward, and climbed up with all their might. There was also a battering ram cart driving under the city gate, "Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" ground crashed against the gate of Shiping Castle!

Screams and people on both sides fell to the ground, convulsed twice, and then never lived again.

After the battle lasted for more than two hours, Sima Ting pointed the banner, and two thousand soldiers of the Xiao cavalry army slowly came out of the formation, pushing ten siege tower carts towards Shiping City. The soldiers were getting faster and faster, roaring and rushing towards Shiping City!

Ah Gui couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the ten siege tower vehicles launched by the Jin army. This siege tower car has caused them a big loss in the past month or so. But fortunately, I heard that there were not many in the Jin army, and after they destroyed several vehicles at a huge price, they had not seen the siege tower vehicles for more than ten days. But today, the Jin army actually launched ten siege tower vehicles!

Seeing this, Gui hurriedly ordered the Diqiang warriors to prepare the catapults, and when the siege tower vehicles entered the firing range, he ordered the Diqiang soldiers to cast the catapults. The catapult made a few "squeaks" sounds, and it threw out boulders weighing hundreds of pounds. However, the Qiang army did not know how to use catapults at all, and dozens of boulders flew out indiscriminately, none of them hit the target, only a few unlucky Jin army soldiers were killed.

Ah Gui was furious when he saw it, and scolded everyone for being stupid pigs. When the Qiang soldiers in charge of the stone-throwing cart were ready for the second shot in a panic, they found that the siege tower cart was only a few dozen zhang away from the city wall. At such a distance, the stone was thrown, and it could only fall behind them helplessly. Ah Gui didn't care about scolding everyone anymore, and took his pro-army and went straight to the fastest siege car.

The siege tower cart was full of cavalry soldiers, all of whom bent their bows and arrows and shot at the Qiang army on the city wall. The siege tower car was even higher than the city wall, and as soon as it was pasted to the city wall, the soldiers of the Xiao cavalry cheered and put down an iron plate several zhang long from the siege tower car, and put it on the city wall with a "boom". The soldiers of the Xiao cavalry army above all shouted and swooped down the city wall, and met the Diqiang army on the city wall!

On the other side of the siege tower was a gentle slope, and countless soldiers of the cavalry army rushed upward. Suddenly, the advantage of the Shiping City Wall was gone!

Seeing this, Ah Gui shouted loudly and led the pro-army to pounce fiercely. Ah Gui rampaged with a big sword, led the pro-army in a bloody battle, and finally repelled the cavalry who rushed to the city wall, and even recoiled and killed the siege building car.

Immediately afterwards, the Qiang army carried a large amount of prepared firewood and piled it on the siege tower car, and after igniting it, the fire raged, and finally blocked the soldiers of the Xiao cavalry army from rushing to the siege tower car again.

The siege tower cars leaned against the city wall one after another, and Agui led the pro-army to run around, concocting the same method and fighting hard. finally blocked the siege tower car and didn't let the cavalry attack.

The sound of killing between heaven and earth shook the sky, and thick smoke billowed up. The two sides are fighting to the death! The battle continued until the sun set, and Sima Ting finally ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. When the cavalry besieging the city heard this, they retreated in an orderly manner.

Ah Gui was covered in blood, wiped his sword with his blood-stained robe, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, today's battle is finally over. Looking at the banner of the main general of the Xiao Cavalry Army from afar, Ah Gui knew that it was Sima Ting, the general of the Xiao Cavalry Army, standing under his banner. They had been facing each other for a month and a half, and he felt that Sima Ting was getting more and more difficult to deal with.

Today, every time there is a siege tower car against the wall, Shiping City is in danger, but fortunately, he prepared enough firewood early and personally led the pro-army to fight hard. Otherwise, with such a deadly offensive, I am afraid that I will really lose today.

Ah Gui looked at the already potholed Shiping city wall, and then looked at the Qiang warriors who were going down the city wall with their tired bodies, turned around and instructed the generals who were keeping vigil to think about the movement of the Jin army, and then they also went down to the city and rode towards the palace in the city. There were a lot of thoughts along the way.

The battle lasted for a month and a half, and the Jin army attacking the city outside the city suffered heavy casualties. Although it was to defend the city, the casualties in the city exceeded 20,000. The city's arrows have been running out after more than a month of squandering. There are dozens of places where the city wall of Shiping has been destroyed, and if it continues to fight like this, the Diqiang army will not be able to stand it for long.

Before he knew it, Agui arrived at the palace in the city, then turned over and dismounted, and strode inward. When I came to the main hall, I saw Qi Wannian's blood-soaked battle armor, facing the sand table of a Shiping City in front of him, constantly deducing the attack and defense, and he didn't realize that Agui had arrived.

Agui saw Qi Wannian's attentive appearance, but he stood aside and didn't bother. After a while, Prime Minister Yang Feilong also walked in, and the two looked at each other and smiled, both standing aside.

About a quarter of an hour later, Qi Wannian sighed, raised his head and said, "You guys are here, how are the casualties today?" ”

Yang Feilong said in a deep voice: "The east side lost more than 300 horses today. ”

Agui said: "There are also more than 300 brothers in the west. ”

Qi Wannian shook his head and sighed: "With the North Gate, today's casualties are more than a thousand." Without enough arrow support, casualties have risen sharply in recent days. Unexpectedly, the Jin army would attack the city at such a cost, and the millions of arrows were almost exhausted. ”

After a pause, Qi Wannian glanced at the two of them and asked gloomily, "How long can this Shiping City be defended?" As soon as these words came out, the three of them fell silent. After a long time, Qi Wannian said: "Agui, prepare to prepare, in a few days we will abandon Shiping City and go to Xingping City." ”

When Agui heard that Qi Wannian was going to abandon the city and leave, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Majesty, our army has more than 5,000 wounded soldiers, if they abandon the city, what will they do?" ”

Yang Feilong opened his mouth at this time to comfort Ah Gui and said, "General Ah Gui, don't get excited. You also know that you can't see this Shiping City, and there is no other way than to abandon the city and leave. We can get more than 5,000 people to surrender to the Jin army. Presumably, a dignified man who was in the middle of the week would not embarrass the prisoners of war. ”

Agui was silent when he heard this. Indeed, he also knew that if he continued to defend like this, he would definitely not be able to hold it, but he couldn't bear to let him leave five thousand wounded soldiers to flee for his life. Although Yang Feilong said it reasonably, on the battlefield, how could he put his fate in the hands of local generals, hoping that the enemy would be magnanimous and spare the soldiers who rebelled against Diqiang? But he couldn't think of any other way to solve the problem at hand.

Qi Wannian stood up and walked to Ah Gui's side and said, "Ah Gui, when you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it." If we continue to defend Shiping City like this, all that awaits us is the annihilation of the entire army. ”

Ah Gui raised his head and glanced at Qi Wannian, and his heart was full of flavors. Before he started the army, Qi Wannian was full of pride, righteousness and clouds, and he ate meat and drank wine in a group of brothers. But after the army, Qi Wannian became more and more decisive and ruthless. Although Qi Wannian is becoming more and more like a king, Ah Gui's heart is still closer to the big brother who rode with his brother and sang loudly!

Agui lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Qi Wannian patted Agui's shoulder and said, "The Jin army surrounded Sanque and one in order to force our army to go south. In the south, the Jin army must have also laid a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for us to drill into it. We've got to plan it out. ”
