"Huh?" Hu Yan's eyes were long, if he was replaced by other legions, he could still sit and guard Xiashui Town, and even dare to go out of the city to fight, but the enemy was the First Army, could the small Xiashui Town hold it?

There is no need for the First Legion to feint, just listen to the name of the First Legion, Hu seems to have been frightened by the six gods and no masters, so that his subordinates quickly lit the beacon, even so he was not at ease, and sent spies to ride fast horses to Yangchuan and Bailin, to ask for help from his own Central Army, no matter what, he had to arrive at Xiashui Town before the First Army to ensure that Xiashui Town was not lost.

Hu Yan's call for help was transmitted to Yangchuan and Bailin as soon as possible, and the commanders of the two cities were Yin Ze and Zhang Xiao respectively.

Yin Ze's identity is not simple, he is the cousin of Yin Liang, the general of the Red Kingdom, but he is still very talented and learned, proficient in military books and war strategies, good at leading the army to fight, and has made a lot of military exploits on the battlefield of the Red Kingdom, which is very appreciated.

Zhang Xiao was born as a civilian official, but his research on military books and tactics is more thorough than Yin Ze's, coupled with his quick thinking, he talks about the art of war like a river, even a veteran who has been in charge for many years can't compare to him.

In Shi Huai's eyes, Yin Ze and Zhang Xiao are both outstanding generals in the Red Kingdom, and he feels very relieved that the two of them are guarding the border.

Receiving Hu Yan's urgent summons, Yin Ze and Zhang Xiao were both taken aback, and the two were somewhat surprised by the large-scale invasion of the Jin army. However, the choice of the two was surprisingly consistent, neither immediately sent troops to rescue Xiashui Town, but sat back and watched the changes.

Both of them were worried, thinking that if the Jin army dared to take Xiashui Town with great fanfare, they must have been prepared for a long time, and if they rescued them hastily, they were likely to fall for the Jin army's tricks.

In addition, Yin Ze also deliberately sent a large number of spies to observe the movements of the Jin army, and also deliberately asked people to investigate between Yangchuan and Xiashui Town. See if there are any ambushes from the Kingdom of Jin.

Yin Ze is worthy of being an excellent commander, and his mind is like silk. Although it was only 300 miles from Yangchuan to Xiashui Town, the road was not easy to walk, there were many hills and cols, and it was easy to set up an ambush.

If he runs into an average opponent. Maybe he will really find out the flaws, and this time he ran into the First Legion, and the main general of the ambush is still the experienced Ling Wuya.

Ling Wuya set up an ambush in the middle between Yangchuan and Xiashui, the ambush was far away from the official road, and it was still scattered, and it was broken into pieces, in addition, Ling Wuya also sent a small group of Jin troops to do a secret sentry, once the spies of the Red Kingdom were discovered. Lawfully kill on sight.

The eyeliner sent by Yin Ze went to the area where Ling Wuya had set up an ambush to investigate, but the result was either a futile return without finding anything, or an inexplicable evaporation from the world, and no shadow of the ambush was found at the end of the day.

But the disappearance of a large number of spies still aroused Yin Ze's vigilance, and also made him more determined not to send troops hastily.

Not to mention that the 9th and 10th Corps of the First Army Corps headed by Ding Feng had only 20,000 men in the two corps, and the non-combatants such as the logistics team of the Corps were at best 30,000 people, but when they advanced to Luxiashui Town. The line was extremely long, and everyone was not idle. Basically, everyone has a big flag and a small flag behind it, because there are many flags, and the distance between people does not appear loose even if it is opened. If you observe it from a distance, the entire team of the First Army is fluttering with embroidered ribbons and flags. The mighty stretch stretched out for more than ten miles, and the lineup was amazingly large.

Such a team will not be believed by saying 100,000, even if it is said 150,000 or 200,000, it will be convincing.

Ding Feng led such a vain 'army' to Xiashui Town.

It was still five miles away from Xiashui Town, and Ding Feng ordered him to set up camp, but he didn't care if the camp was strong or not. But it has to be big, and if it looks like it can hold hundreds of thousands of people, that's fine.

As soon as he gave the order, the whole army moved, felling wood, digging soil, building walled walls, and about 30,000 Jin troops built camps in an orderly manner.

The 1st Regiment was well-trained and moved quickly, and in only two hours, the camp was already beginning to see its size. In accordance with Ding Feng's requirements, the soldiers did not seek quality, but only the area, and set up the camp for more than ten miles, looking inside, the barracks were lined up, and the camp tents were lined up, densely packed, and it was not spectacular. In the open spaces around the barracks, the Jin army also erected many straw figures and put on the armor of the Jin army, if you look at it from a distance, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

While camping, Ding Feng led his two corps commanders, more than a dozen partial generals and thousands of Jin troops to carry out all the stone throwers and crossbow arrows of the First Legion, and lined up two miles outside Xiashui Town.

Ding Feng sat on his horse and raised his eyes to look at the town of Luxiashui, which was about the same size as a small city, and the walls were also high, and there were dense red troops standing on the walls, and the flags of the Red Kingdom were planted all over the city.

After watching for a moment, Ding Feng sneered, turned his head sideways, and asked left and right lightly: "Who wants to take the lead and go to the enemy to scold the enemy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a partial general named Gao Shun urged him to take two steps forward, and shouted with his hands: "General, the last general is willing to go!" Ding Feng glanced at him, nodded, and said indifferently: "Quasi!"

With his approval, Gao Shun knocked the stirrups with both feet, roared, and urged the horse to rush out of the formation, only to blink an eye, he had reached a hundred steps outside the town of Xiashui, at this time, there was a scream on the head of the city, and a sharp arrow flew down, nailing to the ground in front of the war horse.

The horse neighed, raised its front hooves high, and spun around twice before stopping. Gao Shun stabilized his horse, raised his head to look at the city, pointed with the long knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "I am Gao Shun, the general of the First Army of the Jin Kingdom!

At this time, the dragon of the Red Kingdom ordered Hu Yan to be at the head of the city, he saw the camp of the Jin army in his eyes, and he could see clearly the thousands of siege equipment placed by the Jin army outside the city. Seeing that there was a golden general coming to challenge, he gasped and hurriedly said to the left and right: "Without the order of the general, no one is allowed to fight!"

Needless to say, no one in the Red Army planned to go out of the city to face the battle. Now after listening to his order, the generals of the Red Army were all relieved and secretly relieved.

A soldier bears a nest of bears. Hu Yan is a greedy person who is afraid of death and is as timid as a mouse, so how can the generals under him get better?

Gao Shun outside the city shouted three times in a row, but no one answered in Xiashui Town, and no one responded.

Seeing this, Gao Shun's momentum was even stronger, he carried a knife in one hand, and rode a horse to circle back and forth in front of the city, and at the same time, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "Chiguo Xiaoer, but there is self-knowledge, knowing that Lu Dao came out to fight is also to die, I advise you to wait, now there is a way to survive in the surrender of Kaecheng, if you wait until our army attacks on a large scale, there will be no chickens and dogs left in the town, and no grass will grow!"

Hu Yi grinned and wiped cold sweat on the city, and he asked tremblingly: "Have the people we sent to Yangchuan and Bailin have sent a letter asking for help?"

"General Huiqi, it has already been delivered. ”

"But what about our reinforcements? Now that the Jin army has arrived in the city, why have the reinforcements from Yangchuan and Bailin not arrived for a long time?"

"This ......," Hu Yan's generals couldn't answer.

"Hurry up and send someone to ask for help, no matter what, we must also invite reinforcements!" Hu Yan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and said in a trembling voice: "The Jin army has a large number of troops, I am afraid that there is more than one legion of the First Army, once the other party launches an attack, it will definitely besiege the city, and at that time, we will not be able to send people out of the city to ask for help!"

After speaking, seeing that his subordinates were still standing in place, Hu Yi was anxious and angry, stomped his feet again and again, and shouted: "You guys are going, what are you doing in a daze?"

"Ah, yes, yes, General, the last general will send someone for help. ”

The Red Army in Xiashui Town sent people to ride fast horses to Yangchuan and Bailin for the second time, and then asked Yin Ze and Zhang Xiao for help. The men they sent had just left Downwater from the east and west, and the First Army had sounded the horn of the attack.

Of course, the First Army will not directly invest its forces in the siege war, after all, their combatable soldiers are only 20,000 people, as long as the siege is launched, they will immediately be exposed, Ding Feng ordered his own stone throwers and crossbow arrows to be all activated, there is no need to have reservations, to suppress and test the opponent with continuous long-range strikes.

Now, although the First Army has divided 80,000 troops and most of the generals, the ambush soldiers cannot use large weapons such as stone throwers and crossbow arrows, and the stone throwers and crossbow arrows of the whole army are basically in the hands of their 20,000 people.

For a time, the sound of mechanical rotation and catapult in the camp of the Jin army was endless, and thousands of stone projectiles flew into the air, drawing arcs and smashing towards the walls of Luxiashui Town, and thousands of crossbow arrows pierced the sky, hanging with piercing whistling, mercilessly piercing the arrow battlements of the city wall.
