The purpose of the Hu people in the south was mainly to plunder food and population.

Every time the Hu people invaded the Great Xia Empire, they did it after the autumn harvest and left before winter.

Invaded before the autumn harvest, and the grain was still growing in the field, how could they go and harvest the grain themselves?

Don't retreat to the steppe before winter? Are you waiting to be surrounded and annihilated by the Great Xia army?

In the early morning of the next day, Borji gave an order, and the 150,000 Qiang army divided into four roads and went straight to the four city gates.

Chen Yu sits at the north gate, Zhao Yuanzhi sits at the west gate, Zhu Zhengfei sits at the east gate, and Ma Wencai sits at the south gate.

At noon, the Yuanqiang soldiers who surrounded Jinghe County, carrying shields and logs, rushed to the city gate with great momentum.

"Throw stones!" Chen Yu shouted.

One by one, soldiers, civilians, and servants picked up fist-sized stones and threw them under the city walls.

The city wall is ten zhang high, and stones weighing about a pound can kill people if they fall.

The overwhelming stones continued to fall from the sky, and the sound of the Hu people screaming sounded one after another.

"Projectile!" Borgi shouted.

One by one, the Yuanqiang soldiers took arrows and bent bows and loosened strings, and one arrow after another flew towards the city wall.

The force of the arrows that were thrown at them continued to decrease, and when they flew to the city wall, there was little stamina left.

"Carry the wounded brother down and let the doctors in the city treat him." Chen Yu said.

Tens of thousands of Hu people fired three rounds of fierce fire, and there were more than 20 wounded soldiers and civilians.

The dense stones continued to fly under the city gate, and one by one the Hu people were killed and injured by the stones.

The stones originally used to defend the city weighed seven or eight catties, more than a dozen catties, or even dozens of catties.

The city wall is thirty meters high, and the Hu people have no hard hats, and a stone the size of an egg can smash the city to death......

Chen Yu asked people to prepare many fist-sized stones, after all, the strength of ordinary people is limited, and the heavier the stones, the faster the physical exertion.

Defend the city with more than ten catties or dozens of catties of stones, and when you throw stones, your head will pop out, and the Hu people's archery skills are not vegetarian.

A fist-sized stone can be thrown for more than ten meters casually, and most ordinary people can throw it for more than ten minutes in a row.

"Lord Chen, do you want to detonate the mine?" A catcher asked.

"It's still early, use up the stones, rolling wood, and hot oil first, and then use the mines!" Chen Yu said.

At dusk, Borgi ordered the army to stop the siege.

"Young Patriarch, we have lost more than 3,000 people, more than 1,000 seriously wounded, and more than 4,000 lightly wounded." Batu, dressed in armor, said.

"Uncle Batu, what can you do?" Borgi asked.

"Most of the grain has been brought to Dasheng Pass by the patriarch, our food is only enough to eat for five days, if we don't take Jinghe County, we are in a dilemma, no matter what, we have to break the city within three days." Batu said.

"The gates are unusually strong, and it is not easy to break through them." Borgi said with a frown.

"There is nothing outside the city, there are people in the city who have food, as long as we break through the city gates, we can get supplies." Batu said.

In the past, the Hu people went south to fight the grass valley, and they could loot a lot of grain outside the city, after all, the autumn harvest was over, and the people's grain had not yet been handed over to the government.

As a nomadic people, the army, which is mainly cavalry, will not starve to death for a while.

If you are hungry, killing a war horse can make more than 100 people eat all day.

Borji is the eldest son of Asfu and the young patriarch of the Yuanqiang tribe.

This time, he went south to fight the grass valley, because he was the young patriarch, and in order to make him meritorious, Asfu put him in charge of an army of 150,000.

The Hu people advocate force, but there is no dignity and order, and it is very common for the Hu people to take their father's concubine as their wife and then give birth to children.

Borji also has three brothers, and once the battle is lost, he, the young patriarch, may be replaced.

The territory of Great Xia is not a grassland, there is no endless plain, which is not conducive to the cavalry to run, bypassing Jinghe County, which covers an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers, it will take at least two days, and if they cannot get food supplies, they can only kill war horses to satisfy their hunger.

I don't know the situation outside Jinghe County, Borji can only choose to attack the city, in case outside Jinghe County, like Jinghe County, all the people will ...... all the food All transported to the county seat, hundreds of thousands of troops will definitely be defeated.

The remnants of the Yuanqiang tribe, who are hungry and unbearable, will definitely be slaughtered by the Great Xia army, who are waiting for work, like chopping melons and vegetables.

At the north gate, in the city tower, Chen Yu, who was lying on a chair, was enjoying a massage like jade and snow, and his consciousness was watching the Hu people outside the city.

In the early morning of the next day, an earth-shattering roar sounded, and the dense Yuan Qiang Hu people attacked from four directions.

The overwhelming stones fell like a storm, and one after another Hu people were killed and injured by stones.

"Woohoo!" Dense arrows, a steady stream of arrows, and then fell from the air.

The heart-rending screams rang out one after another.

In less than an hour, the Yuanqiang army, which had suffered more than 5,000 casualties, once again reluctantly retreated.

Half an hour later, Borji gritted his teeth and shouted: "Break through Jinghe County, whoever grabs the gold, silver and beauties will be whoever!" ”

One by one, the Hu soldiers rushed to the city gate with a shout......

"Master Chen, you've run out of stones." One by one, the soldiers, the catchers, the officials, and the people said.

"Drop the wood." Chen Yu said.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and one by one the logs were lifted onto the planks by everyone.

A few young men lifted the plank, a log five or six meters long and weighing more than 100 catties, tumbling and falling to the city.

Suddenly, the Hu people who were besieging the city were killed and injured dozens at once.

One after another rolling logs, lying horizontally and vertically under the city wall, the Hu people who were attacking the city had to risk their lives to clean up the rolling logs.

There are rolling logs everywhere, there is no place to stay, and you still want to carry the wood and crash open the city gates, is it possible?

With the strength of just two or three people, even if they exert all the strength to feed, they would not want to knock the heavy city gate open!

After smashing and injuring more than 10,000 Hu people, the rolling logs prepared before ran out.

Seeing that the enemy's rolling logs were running out, Borji, whose eyes were red, shouted: "Kill! ”

"Hot oil ready!" Chen Yu said.

One by one, the people, soldiers, officials, and catchers wearing cotton clothes and gloves picked up water guns made of bamboo tubes, smoked a bamboo tube of hot oil from a large iron pot, and sprayed it diagonally outside the city.

The boiling oil, which had a temperature of more than 200 degrees, poured like a torrential rain, and one by one the Hu people were drenched.

"Ahhh The screams that resounded through the heavens and the earth came up from under the city.

A series of high-temperature oil arrows, although they can't kill the Hu people, but they can make their lives worse than death, seeing this situation, the rest of the Hu people are terrified.

"Attack Jinghe County with all your might, kill all the Great Xia people in the city, and avenge the dead brothers." Borgi said angrily.

The coalition of eighteen large Hu tribes, after plundering countless outside the city, came to the outside of Qingshan County in a menacing manner.

"Whoever is the first to break through the city gates will take half of the supplies in the city." Sukel, the patriarch of the Hun barbarians, said with a smile on his face.

"I agree!" The patriarch of the Xiannu tribe, Habat, said.

"Well, that's how it should be." The patriarch of the Black Plains, Ilmo, echoed.

After the discussion was properly discussed, the 150,000 allied troops were divided into four, and after surrounding Qingshan County, they rushed to start attacking the city.

Qiao Fu, the magistrate of Qingshan County, mobilized the people in the city to assist the soldiers, catch fast, and defend the city.

Qingshan County, which was outnumbered and ill-prepared, was breached by 150,000 coalition troops in less than half a day......
