The defenders in Jiuquan City, including the main general Liu Shen, did not expect that the Rouran army, which was originally confronting the general outside the two passes, would turn around and suddenly point directly at Jiuquan, and the Rouran army also hid everyone's sight and was not discovered.

At present, there is no spare time for Liu Shen to consider, and after getting the news, he immediately arranged for his subordinates to prepare the three armies to face the battle.

On the other side, he sent someone to urgently transmit the news to the general Yu Wentai outside the two passes, because Liu Shen understood that it was difficult to resist the attack of the Rouran army with the 30,000 horses in Jiuquan City alone.

After arranging these, Liu Shen immediately led people to the top of the city.

Looking at the army of Rouran at the end of his sight, Liu Shen suddenly felt the pressure.

Judging from the visual inspection, Rouran is likely to be out of the nest.

The news of Rouran's attack quickly spread to the army, because the 30,000 defenders in the city could still resist it, and the soldiers and horses in the two passes were not too far away from Jiuquan City, so the defenders in the city did not panic.

Under Liu Shen's order, the defenders of the city climbed to the top of the city in batches to prepare for this upcoming fierce battle.

But when the defenders saw the endless Rouran army above the city, they were also under the same pressure as Liu Shen.

It's just that nervousness is nervous, no one is timid, and no one retreats.

Above the city, Liu Shen turned to all the soldiers and shouted, "Brothers, the Rouran army is coming, and the time has come for us to make meritorious contributions."

When all the soldiers heard this, they raised their arms and shouted, "Kill, kill, kill!"

For a time, the shouts of killing in the city shook the sky.

Half a quarter later, the Rouran army approached the city.

At the front of the army, Baturu looked at Jiuquan City in front of him, and not only showed a smug smile on his face.

How many years, how many years has the Rouran army not dared to set foot in the west of the Great Wei River, and now that Jiuquan City is close at hand, Baturu thinks that it is merit to go back like Jiuquan if he can't take it.

On the grassland, groups of soft soldiers lined up, and the cool breeze blew the military flags and hunted.

The sky was clear, and the two sides of the city were facing each other.

The high-spirited Baturu pointed his sword at Liu Shen above the city and said loudly: "Great Wei guard, quickly open the city and surrender, I will spare you on behalf of the steppe wolf god."

Liu Shen was disdainful when he heard this, he looked at Baturu on the horse and sneered, he sneered: "Baturu, have you not eaten, why is the voice so small that I can't hear it." You better get off your horse and surrender quickly, Lao Tzu can consider making the decision for our Emperor of Great Wei and letting you go back to the grassland to continue raising horses."

If you want to say that you are not afraid of it, it is fake, Liu Shen has also fought countless battlefields large and small, but this time the strength of the two sides is very different, even if they can defend Jiuquan, the price must be very great.

Liu Shen's worries and fears did not come from himself but from the rest of the brothers in the city, and after this battle, I don't know how many people are left standing at the moment.

However, none of them, including Liu Shen himself, could not retreat because of this, and Liu Shen also believed that the 30,000 defenders in the city would not be afraid like him.

After Liu Shen finished mocking, there was a contemptuous laughter above the city.

Baturu didn't care, Jiuquan City was now in his pocket, and he allowed Liu Shen to jump for a while.

Baturu raised his hand and motioned to Yuan Zhi behind him to step forward, and Yuan Zhen, who was sitting on the horse, looked at the city from afar, although Liu Shen was not his former command, he still opened his mouth to persuade: "Liu Shen, those who know the times are handsome, don't make fearless sacrifices. As long as you are willing to open the city gates, you will be a great achievement when I return to Luoyang one day."

Liu Shen, who was above the city, was not surprised after seeing Yuan Zhen, and he was in contact with the new emperor for several months, and now he will sigh at the naivety of this former prince.

Liu Shen sneered when he heard this: "Your Highness, I, Liu Shen, will not be a dog for Rou Ran even if I die, it is ridiculous that you, as a member of the royal family, will be with Rou Ran. Back then, Rouran was beaten back to Mobei by us like a lost dog, but now you are embarrassed to do it with these dogs who can only wag their tails and beg for food, hahaha, you are indeed not as good as Your Majesty."

Yuan Zhen's face was blue at Liu Shen's sudden sneer, and his forehead was pale

Qingjin burst out and pointed at Liu Shen above the city and scolded: "Liu Shen, don't give you a chance, you don't cherish yourself, Rouran's 100,000 army has already arrived in the city, how many defenders do you have in Jiuquan City, if you cherish the lives of your soldiers, you should know how to choose."

This time, before Liu Shen could answer, the soldiers above the city head spoke: "Your Highness, it is our mission to defend the city as a border army, even if we pay the price of blood, we will still defend the city. You used to be our Great Highness, but from now on we are enemies."

One person said it, and everyone agreed.

"That's right, if you want to enter the city, these dogs*** will step on Lao Tzu's corpse."

"Fuck Rouran, fuck Your Highness, come and kill one Lao Tzu, come and kill one with two Lao Tzu."

"***, if you want to fight, you can fight, there is so much nonsense."

"There is not a single seed left in the garrison at the head of the city."

"Hehe, 100,000 troops, Lao Tzu killed 100,000 people."

"Today I will sacrifice the spirits of the ancestors with the blood of the Rouran."

......

For a while, all the soldiers above the city were enthusiastic, what Rouran, what 100,000 troops, no one was afraid.

No one thought that this good call for the city would eventually turn into an encouragement to the morale of the Wei army.

Looking at the Wei troops waving their swords and arms above the city, Baturu knew that there was no possibility of surrender, so he ordered the siege of the city.

Jiuquan, as one of the four cities in Hexi, was built according to the standards of a military town when it was originally built, so the city was high and strong, and it was not so easy for the Rouran army to storm it.

Seeing the Rouran army attacking the city, Liu Shen took the lead above the city.

It's just that the opponent has a large number of people, and a steady stream of Rouran soldiers have climbed to the top of the city, and for a while, the battlefield above the city is full of blood.

The sound of rushing and killing, shouting, and the roar of Jin Ge are intertwined, and life and death are already intertwined.

The 100,000-strong army of Rouran besieged Jiuquan City, so that Liu Shen had to assign men to defend the other city gates, and he himself still fought to the death on the north city gate.

The battle was fought from sunrise to sunset, and the fighting above the city never stopped.

After the sun sets, the sky-high fire in the city still shines on Jiuquan City like the day.

Liu Shen was covered in blood, and the long knife in his hand had been slashed and curled, but the Rouran army was still attacking.

There were fewer and fewer defenders above the city, and the victory was constantly turning in its favor.

At the beginning of the year, the west gate of Jiuquan City was breached by the Rouran army without warning, and Liu Shen had no choice but to retreat from the city to continue to organize the remaining team to counterattack in the city after receiving the news.

After the city was broken, the city of Jiuquan was full of mourning, and the inhumane Rouran army slaughtered all the soldiers and civilians of the Great Wei.

After collecting the remnants, Liu Shen found that there were only 5,000 people left.

They fought all the way and retreated to the south gate, but soon after the west gate was breached, the remaining remnants could no longer hold the city gate, and the rest of the city gates were also broken one after another.

The defenders of Jiuquan City were killed and wounded in the whole day of defending the city, and Rouran also paid a lot of price, with a total of more than 40,000 casualties.

The Rouran army continued to arrive from all directions, so that Liu Shen's troops could not retreat, and they were finally surrounded in the center of the city.

Although relying on the terrain advantage, the remaining 5,000 Wei troops still caused a lot of obstacles to Rouran, but after all, it was difficult to support it alone, and it was difficult to form an effective resistance.

In the end, Liu Shen led the remaining hundred or so guards to be surrounded by the Rouran army.

The remaining less than 200 people, including Liu Shen himself, were all wounded, and Liu Shen even had multiple knife wounds and sword wounds on his body, and some of the wounds still had blood oozing.

The Rouran army saw that Liu Shen and the others, who were already at the end of the crossbow, did not rush to attack again, and Baturu and Yuan Zhi and others also rushed over at this time.

Along the way, the border was full of blood stained with mourning everywhere I saw.

Yan Lanzhou's originally wavering heart was now more and more unstable, and in the end, he saw Liu Shen covered in blood and the few Wei troops left, even if they were surrounded by heavy surrounds, they still held their hands

The knife is not afraid of death.

And Yan Lanzhou finally realized how ridiculous what he had done before at this moment.

However, Yuan Zhen did not realize this at all.

Yuan Zhen looked at Liu Shen who was close in front of him, he had long since lost his morning hair.

Liu Shen never thought that Jiuquan City would be captured in one day, until he saw another person standing behind Yuan Zhen, his original subordinate, Feng Bao, who was born in Xiping City, and the West City Gate was guarded by him.

No wonder there are only five thousand remnants left, all of which were killed by Feng Bao.

Liu Shen, who was still calm, burst into bruises after seeing Feng Bao, and he scolded, "Feng Bao, why did you betray Great Wei?"

Feng Bao's heart trembled when he heard this, he didn't dare to look at Liu Shen, he just said lightly: "General, those who know the times are Junjie, I only blame you for being too reckless."

Yuan Zhen looked at Liu Shen with a smile and said, "Liu Shen, if you knew this, didn't you regret your previous decision?"

When Liu Shen heard this, a mouthful of bloody spit spit out and landed in front of Yuan Zhen's feet, and he laughed and said, "Regret? It's just a death, after Lao Tzu dies, he dares to see the first emperor, and dare to see the heroic spirit who defends the city for the Great Wei, do you dare? Traitors to the country and seeking glory, I really think that if you take Jiuquan, you will take down Dawei, you are still far behind."

After saying that, Liu Shen raised his knife and pointed at Baturu and the others, and the rest of the people also held their knives and prepared to make the final kill.

Liu Shen just regretted that he couldn't defend Jiuquan to the death like General Tao Wentuo back then, and he was ashamed of His Majesty and all his dead brothers.

Tang Mu, who had been paying attention to Liu Shen, also said at this time: "The rest of the people can be killed and Liu Shen captured alive."

Baturu also meant this, so with a wave of his hand, the surrounding Rouran soldiers swarmed up, and finally eliminated the remaining Wei army and captured the main general Liu Shen alive.

Jiuquan City could be captured so easily, and the inner Ying Feng Bao hidden in the city played a vital role, and this person even Yan Lanzhou only knew about it today.

Baturu doesn't care about Yuan Zhen's backhand, and now Jiuquan City is the best result.

It's just that Tang Mu is a little more wary of Yuan Zhen at the moment, in the final analysis, all the purpose of this Royal Highness is the throne of Great Wei.

After capturing Jiuquan City, Rouran's remaining army of less than 60,000 troops was stationed in the city, although the people in the city were not all killed, they were all controlled by Rouran, and the money, grain, and grass were also looted by Rouran.

There was plenty of grain and grass in Jiuquan City, enough for the army to last more than three months.

After that, Baturu ordered his troops to garrison the city.

It was not until the morning of the third day that Yuwentai led the army to Jiuquan City, but it was too late.
