Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Siege

Huo Xiang rushed all the way, and within an hour, he saw the rear of the army in front of him from a distance.

She flicked her horse's head slightly, brushed the side, and instead came first, leaping to the front of the army.

Someone shouted at her, but Huo Xiang ignored it, and ran towards the vast grassland.

Han Xiuqi is now surrounded by many people. Fortunately, they saw the opportunity early, saw a large group of cavalry coming, quickly occupied a hill, and defended the mountain.

Although this is only a mound, it is surrounded by cliffs of more than ten zhang on three sides, and only one side is a gentle slope, so it is relatively easy to attack.

Also with the help of the terrain, they have already blocked several rounds of attacks.

This is the fourth day that Chen Hutou and the others have left, and if they go well, they should have entered the surrendered city at this moment.

In fact, Zhou Zhengqi's rescue army is already on the way.

"Not good, General, there is smoke and dust flying up over there, and the enemy has increased its army again!" General Xu Bi said to Han Xiuqi in a deep voice.

"I see it!" Han Xiuqi exhaled lightly. Looking at the scale of the smoke and dust, at least it is above 1,000 people.

Looking at the more than 4,000 people stationed below, Han Xiuqi knew that the King of Thousand Vehicles had already brought all the surrounding troops over!

Last year's battle of Tianshuichuan can be regarded as the prestige and morale of Daqi. The Northern Desert Changlin Khan was taken by the situation and had to submit his credentials and ask for an armistice.

In fact, it is common for the grassland people to fight and make peace. Last year's losses in the Northern Desert were actually not particularly huge. However, on the bright side, the loss of a prince of the clan is a big loss of face.

In fact, the loss of Daqi is not small, as soon as the Northern Desert seeks peace, Emperor Longchang just took the ladder to go down the house.

The strength of the King of Qiancheng here is not damaged However, this time Han Xiuqi entered the depths of the grassland to take revenge, destroying dozens of tribes and killing thousands of people, which really made the King of Qiancheng heartbroken.

Therefore, he ignored the treaty between the two countries and decided to wipe out this army outside the surrendered city.

Now guarding the bottom of the mountain is his henchman Brooke, looking at the newly built business on the dirt mountain, he can't help but scold: "These Qi people are like his mother's turtles!" ”。

It was night again, and Han Xiuqi and the others defeated the Hu people's four rounds of attacks, and calm returned to the front of the battle.

"These guys can't do it either!" General Xu said with a smile: "Actually, they won't attack the city at all. If I were to give me a thousand, I would definitely be able to take it down. ”。

Several people looked at him unkindly. He smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that!" ”。

"And what do you mean?" Several people clenched their fists the size of a casserole and said viciously.

Xu Bi hurriedly made amends, and repeatedly said that he had said the wrong thing.

The night was uneventful, and the stars hung low in the sky, like crumbling sparkling gems.

The Hu people have not attacked at night for the past few days, and the same is true tonight.

Although it is said that the Hu people are not good at attacking cities, this situation is also quite strange.

The Surrendered City is so close that it would not be a good idea to trap them and leave them to fend for themselves.

Although they brought little grain and grass, they could not hold on for two or three days. It's really not good, you can still kill horses.

So why are these people trapping them? Is there some conspiracy here?

And when he had slept for two hours, he could not sleep any more, and got up and went round and about.

Suddenly, there was the sound of stones sliding off the cliff beside him, and he was startled and immediately ran over.

"Who?" He let out a roar.

A woman's surprised voice shouted, "Senior brother, is it you?" ”。

Han Xiuqi was stunned for a moment, "Senior sister? ”。

A red shadow flashed out, and Huo Xiang said with a smile: "Senior brother, you found out that I was here so quickly!" It's amazing. ”。

"The soldiers are in danger, what are you running away with a girl?" Han Xiuqi was not as relaxed as her, and shouted with a cold face.

The soldiers who surrounded him found that it was a woman and knew Han Xiuqi again, so they retreated.

General Xu Bi hurried over and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Miss Huo!" How did you know we were here? ”。

Huo Xiang smiled and said, "The people you sent back have already entered the city!" The general sent a large army yesterday to take you home. ”。

"Really? That's great! Several people around him laughed and laughed, and their hearts were happy.

"How many people did the general send?" Han Xiuqi had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

"That's 10,000!" Huo Xiang saw the army go out of the city with his own eyes.

"It's not good, I'm afraid we're going to fall for the Thousand Rider King's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Han Xiuqi screamed in silence.

"What did General Han say about this?" Xu Bi will be puzzled.

"The total number of troops in the surrendered city is less than 20,000! If 10,000 people go out of the city, there will be only a few thousand left in the city! If so......" he bit his lip and frowned.

The others were dumbfounded.

"What do you mean, the King of a Thousand Vehicles will take the opportunity to attack the surrendered city?" General Xu said with a glare.

"Possibly!" Han Xiuqi nodded and said heavily.

Lu Yishuang suddenly heard the terrible sound of a horn at night. Before she could come to her senses, she heard Zhao Wu shouting outside the window: "County Lord, get up quickly, something happened!" ”。

Lu Yishuang and Mu Hibiscus immediately got up and hurriedly got dressed. Lu Yishuang stabilized her mind and asked, "What's wrong?" ”。

Zhao Wu paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "The Hu people are besieging the city!" ”。

Lu Yishuang was stunned for a moment, and the hibiscus cried in fright.

"Don't cry! What's the use of crying! Although Lu Yishuang was also flustered, she still said calmly.

packed up and went out, and saw that Zhao Wu was already dressed in a strong suit.

"Don't worry, no matter what step you take, I'll find a way to take you out!" Zhao Wu said in a deep voice.

"Don't panic! It's not so easy to break! Lu Yishuang looked at the dark night outside and the shining firelight of the city in the distance.

Someone came to knock on the door, and the little girl went to ask, it turned out to be someone from the General's Mansion who took Lu Yishuang over there.

Mu Hibiscus and the others looked at Lu Yishuang nervously. Lu Yishuang thought for a while and said to the person who came: "I have confidence in the old general, I won't go anywhere, just stay here!" ”。

It was the nurse of Mrs. Zhou Dagongzi, and she was also an old family member of the Zhou family. After several persuasions, seeing that Lu Yishuang still refused with a smile, she had to give up.

Zhao Wu said in a low voice: "Actually, you should go!" The General's Mansion is somewhat safer! ”。

Lu Yishuang smiled and said, "What should I do with these people when I leave?" She held Hibiscus's hand, sighed, and said, "If the city is really broken, the General's Mansion is the most dangerous place!" Rest assured, this city won't be so easy to break. The army was hundreds of miles outside the city, and once it was believed, it could be rushed back in two days. I don't believe it, I can't support it for even two days! ”。

"Alright! I'll be watching you anyway! Anyway, you're my boss too! Zhao Wu glanced at her deeply and suddenly laughed.
