The rain kept pouring down, and between Qingshui Town and the barbarian camp, the trampled smooth ground was covered with yellow mud, and occasionally patches of muddy water were flashing a shocking red, and the earthworms hidden deep in the ground hurriedly crawled out, crawling happily in the muddy water, leaving eye-catching marks, but then they were submerged in the muddy water.

Zhou Wei, the defender of Qingshui Town, has a poor reputation in the army of Qin Wuling, but he is a real high-ranking official, serving as a deputy lieutenant, one of Li Xin's deputies, and has been responsible for the defense of the new city under Li Xin.

And his opponent is Su Tuo, a subordinate tribal patriarch of the Blood Eagle Tribe, with 300,000 tribal coalition troops under his command, although the combat effectiveness is weaker than the Blood Eagle Standing Army, but the 100,000 people besieging Qingshui Town are still enough.

Su Tuo only attacked Qingshui Town once, he knew that he had encountered a hard bone to gnaw, and he would never do anything for Bayar, the steppe people have never been good at attacking fortified cities, this time besieging three fortresses, why not let the elite barbarian cavalry fight, why not let the standing army not fight on the grounds of containing the garrison of the new city, and let other departments attack? Su Tuo snorted, sneering in his heart, Blood Eagle wanted to take this opportunity to consume the strength of the other tribes and kill two birds with one stone, but others are not stupid, look at the patriarchs of other tribes, don't they also have the same thoughts as themselves?

According to Su Tuo's meaning, what kind of city to fight, according to the old routine of the past, bypassing the fortified city, and directly hitting the hinterland of Qin Wuling, Ye Qing only stationed 300,000 troops in Shahe Town, how could he be the opponent of nearly a million people on his side? Logistics? Jokes, what kind of logistics do barbarians have to go through when they fight, they will plunder there when they fight, and they will fight to nourish the war, which is right, so attacking Jiancheng is the shortest of avoiding the enemy and promoting the enemy's strengths.

"Patriarch" A tribal general broke into the tent, which made Su Tuo frown, snorted, raised his hand, and motioned for him to continue.

"What's the matter, panic?"

"Patriarch, Qingshui Town's troop movement is abnormal, just now, Zhou Wei actually opened the city gate, about 50,000 people went out of the city, and they actually wanted to fight with us in the field" The general said loudly.

"What?" Su Tuo's first reaction was that the general was talking nonsense, "You read that right, Zhou Wei's turtle is actually willing to poke his head out and fight me in the field?"

"How can you be mistaken, patriarch, those 50,000 people are now lined up in the city, you listen, the war drums are beating, they are inviting battle"

Su Tuo swept out of the big tent in a few big strides, climbed up to the high platform, sure enough, in the continuous drizzle, with the chariot as the lead, Qin Wu led the soldiers to form a neat phalanx, standing according to the city, a young general stood high on a command car, and the drummers around him were beating the invitation drums vigorously.

"He's **, what medicine did Zhou Wei take wrong this time?" Su Tuo was annoyed and scolded, jumped down from the high platform, and walked towards the big tent. "He formed a formation according to the city, posing a turtle shell array, those damn crossbows are the soul hook pen of the Lord of Yama, the old man is not fooled by this, ignore him, let him knock it. ”

"Patriarch" The general took a step forward and said in a low voice: "We won't do anything to attack the city, but now that the other party is out of the city to fight, if we don't fight, if this matter is spread to the Blood Eagle Patriarch, it will be unfavorable to you, and when the time comes, they will have the opportunity to weaken the tribe's military power, besides, if the other party invites to fight, if we can't avoid it, it will also be a big blow to morale."

Su Tuo paused, thought for a while, and said, "Don't you think it's a little strange? Zhou Wei is a turtle in the whole body, why did he suddenly go out of the city to invite a battle? Is there anything strange about this? He only has a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he goes out of the city with 50,000, so what if he fights a big victory, he kills 1,000 enemies and loses 800 himself, how can he defend the city next? No?"

"Release the scout in the direction of Qin Wuling, and let it go a little farther away. Su Tuo said to himself: "Ye Qing won't target me, right?"

After a pause, he said: "Anyway, since the other party has already set up a frame, we always have to fight a dozen, so let's lead the foot soldiers to knock Zhou Wei with a heavy shield." ”

The general took the order and left, Su Tuo shook his head, still feeling extremely strange, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, and the thousand-year-old turtle flow suddenly changed its nature, which is not a good thing.

"All-arms war," Su Tuo ordered loudly.

Hong Haifeng is a group of cutting-edge captains who have emerged from the leadership of Qin Wu, and it is also trained by Ye Qing himself, these days he has been defending the city defense, but he has been suffocated, and today he finally went out of the city to fight, so that he was excited about this, and today is not a small fight, but a big fight, he is just a guide here, seeing the drums in Su Tuo's camp, groups of foot soldiers poured out of the city, and couldn't help frowning slightly, the other party was holding heavy shields, marching in formation, although the queue was not very neat, but the rows of heavy shields covered the foot soldiers tightly, which offset the power of Qin Wuling's hundred crossbows to the greatest extent。

The warrant flag waved, the bed crossbow on the city, and the trebuchet began to fire, with his back to the fortified city, he could get strong support from the city, and Hong Haifeng was confident that he could withstand the impact of several times the opponent's troops.

"Strong bow, shoot from the back, five shots in a row" Hong Haifeng ordered the flag to wave.

With a muffled sound, Qin Wu led the army to shoot a rain of arrows and rushed into the sky, at the same time, the trebuchet and the bed crossbow also tore apart the defense of the heavy shield, and at this moment, the rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the cooperation between the two sides was appropriate, and the foot soldiers on the opposite side immediately fell down.

After a moment of panic, the heavy shields quickly joined together again, and with firm steps, they moved forward, and at the same time, the strong crossbows and trebuchets on the barbarian side also began to fire.

"Repeater, shoot" Hong Haifeng ordered loudly.

The buzzing sound sounded, and the distinctive voice of the crossbow immediately sounded, and the locust-like arrows shot out, striking the heavy shield strongly, and the barbarian with the heavy shield was slightly unable to bear the strength, and the heavy shield was slightly crooked, and the crossbow arrows as dense as flying locusts took advantage of the gap to enter, nailing people down in rows, but the barbarians' foot soldiers were still pushing forward, and the bed crossbow began to be damaged under the focus of the opponent's trebuchet.

"Crossbow, retreat, infantry, raise the gun, three steps forward"

With a bang, the bright spear was raised, and the neat line of foot soldiers took three steps forward, opened a certain gap, and after stopping a little to straighten out, the sentry commanders strode forward in a row under the sharp whistle of the sentry commanders.

"Kill"

"Kill"

"Kill"

The two sides fought, the spear stabbed out, poked heavily on the heavy shield, at this time the distance of several meters between the several rows of spearmen led by Qin Wu had been opened, the first row did not hesitate to stab out the spear in hand, and the soldiers of the blue flag immediately abandoned the shield after blocking the first round, holding a steel knife in their hands, and after getting into the queue of Qin Wu's leading soldiers, they slashed and axed, and put Qin Wu's leading soldiers to the ground.

The Qin Wu soldiers in the first row did not pay attention to these barbarians who came in, but instead accelerated their pace and moved forward quickly, and the barbarians who had just entered were immediately stabbed by the spearmen in the second row, and no one could stop such a uniform assassination, and they were immediately stabbed to the ground. By this time, the spearmen in the first row had shrunk inward, and the gaps of the slashed soldiers were immediately filled, and the two short sections were quickly filled by the soldiers in the second row.

In the big camp, Su Tuo, who was looking at the battlefield, shook his head more than once, the essence of the foot soldiers, no one can compare with the soldiers of Qin Wuling, but fortunately, these foot soldiers on this side are not their own lifeblood, and they don't care about the loss at all. It's good to be able to consume a little Qin Wuling's elite in the field,

Just when Su Tuo was staring at the battlefield and wondering when to withdraw his troops, a scout Pegasus came, with a nervous look on his face, went straight to Su Tuo, turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "Patriarch, I found that a large number of cavalry led by Qin Wu are rushing to attack. ”

Su Tuo shook his hand and jumped to his feet and said: "If you are grass, you will know that there is something wrong, how many people, how many soldiers and horses?"

The scout said: "Patriarch, the other party swept away most of our brothers, only a few of us ran back, looking at the size of the cavalry, it was about 100,000. ”

"100,000 people?" Su Tuo jumped up, "Ye Qing is a heavy hand, Ming Jin, collect the troops, the whole army is ready to retreat, ask for help from the Blood Eagle Standing Army, let them come to support us, 100,000 cavalry, almost the same as our department." ”

Su Tuo shouted, fortunately he had prepared before, otherwise he would have caused chaos if he retreated in a hurry now.

The sound of the gong sounded, and the soldiers of the Sutuo battalion began to retreat, and the soldiers alternately covered the retreat to the camp, and at this time, the main force of the Sutuo tribe in the camp had begun to pull out the camp.

"Forward" Hong Haifeng waved the command flag, "dragging them down"

At this time, Zhou Wei above the city had already seen the smoke and dust raised in the distance, and knew that Qin Wuling's large-scale cavalry had begun to appear, and informed Hong Haifeng through the flag to stick to the opponent, the main force of the Sutuo coalition army was unable to gnaw, but the foot soldiers who were fighting with Qin Wu's troops could completely stay.

Su Tuo is already a pawn who can't care about fighting desperately on the battlefield, more than 200,000 tribal coalition cavalry began to pull out one by one, Su Tuo doesn't want to fight with Qin Wu's troops here, that is, he wants to fight, at least after meeting with the standing army, with an absolute advantage in troops, he will not lose his capital, and now he wants to resist Qin Wu's troops, so he will not do it. Fight all your old books, how can you live in the second half of your life?

As for those subordinates, forget it, I can't take care of them, and they are not my direct subordinates anyway.

Qin Wu led the cavalry to sweep over, but unfortunately, Wang Feng, who wanted to do a lot of chaos, found that the main force of the tribal alliance had left the battlefield, and only some foot soldiers who had no fighting spirit were left on the battlefield, and they were being driven all over the mountains by their own cavalry.

"Su Tuo is so cunning, he actually slipped so fast" Wang Feng shook his head regretfully, "Ordered the whole army, feint pursuit, scare Su Tuo to run a little farther, hook the standing army to this side, and then the whole army immediately turned around and went straight to Dingyuan." ”
