Although the seat of Xiping is in the western capital.

However, the western capital was only expanded in the early three years of Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi and Huangchu, and its heritage is far inferior to the Linqiang City, which has stood for more than 300 years.

In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing entered Hexi and built a city here.

In the first year of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Chongguo pacified Xiqiang and opened Tuntian to determine the Qiang people.

This city is located in the Huangshui triangle of Yaoshui, Huangshui is in the south, Qiangshui is in the west, Shaling is in the north, and Rongxia is in the east.

It can be regarded as the first important town in the south of Qilian Mountain.

To the south, you can look down on the Hehuang Valley, to the west, you can look at the Xihai grassland, and to the north, you can see Wuwei.

The so-called Guanshan lock key is nothing more than that.

When Midang's attention turned to the West Sea, he gradually realized the importance of Linqiang City.

But it was too late.

The Qiang people do not have such foresight, and it can be seen from the Han-Qiang War that the Qiang people are not good at long-term planning, and it doesn't matter where they fight.

rose up again and again, and was suppressed by the Han army again and again.

A tidal wave of Qiang people flocked to the city walls.

Linqiang City seemed to be asleep, without the slightest movement.

This made the Qiang people feel a little lucky.

They stepped on the corpses, set up long ladders, and climbed cautiously.

The Qiang people were not good at attacking cities.

It's just because there is a long knife on the back.

All those who fled were cut off and thrown into the river to wail.

Compared to this method of death, dying under the city is a relief.

Fortunately, the city has been under siege for five days.

All the Qiang people felt that the city would not last long.

Several warriors had almost climbed the city walls, and the people under the city and in the camp were watching them.

Knock, knock, knock......

However, the nightmarish drums of war sounded again.

It was as if beating their hearts.

No shouting, no superfluous movements.

Only the spear thrusts forward.

The bloodstained spear, with a sharp sound of breaking wind, pierced the leather armor of the Qiang warriors in an instant, and it seemed to wake up the city wall miserably.

Then a rain of stones, wood, and arrows poured down from the walls.

The entire battlefield boiled over in an instant.

The screams of the Qiang people attached to the ants under the city soared into the sky.

And on the city wall, there are only busy figures.

The soldiers held spears and stabbed them, and the young men threw down the wood and stones, and the women carried them.

Several generals commanded at the head of the city to boost morale.

The Qiang siege ended in failure again.

The bleak trumpet comes from far and near.

The undead Qiang people, abandoned on the battlefield and wailing, gradually overlapped with the sound of the trumpet.

Mi Dang was very confident at first.

With tens of thousands of troops in hand, and Lu Shuihu and Yueshi Hu to help, and the strength of Linqiang City is empty, even if it is a pile of people, it will pile down Linqiang City.

However, the truth was beyond his imagination.

Linqiang City is like a snowy mountain, no matter the storm or rain, it always stands.

On the contrary, he lost his troops.

It took five days and nearly 10,000 horses were lost.

After Lu Shuihu and Yueshi Hu lost thousands of men and horses, they also began to cheat and cheat, asking for food and weapons every day.

It's like two wolves that can never be fed.

But I can't stop when I am obsessed, and I have to continue to feed.

Otherwise, if the wolf is hungry, it doesn't matter if it is an ally or not.

In particular, Lu Shuihu of the Fuqu Department was originally a branch of the Huns, fierce as a wolf.

"Who the hell is this Zhang Te?" Midang's eyes were bloodshot, and his repeated failures not only hit the morale of the Qiang people, but also hit Midang's ambition and confidence.

After a few days of fierce battles, Zhang Te's reputation gradually spread.

can resist the onslaught of nearly 100,000 troops with a few thousand soldiers, and its reputation is not loud.

"This person was originally the commander of Cao Wei's Wuwei battalion, followed Yang Zheng to break through from the Luo Valley, and was relied on by Yang Zheng as a confidant." Oh He Yaoge's voice became smaller and quieter.

Ever since he met Yang Zheng, he felt that he had never been smooth.

"How can a tun chief be so capable?" The fan was furious.

It's not just that he can't capture Linqiang City, but compared to the enemy, his hands are full of waste.

Anger is followed by a deliberately suppressed fear.

How many such figures are there among the Han Chinese?

And beside him, there are only Oh He Yao Ge and moths covering these goods.

It's not that he doesn't want to kill Oh He Yaoge, the problem is that if he kills, others may not be able to use it, and it may be even more unbearable.

"Since Linqiang can't be attacked, why doesn't the king take the western capital directly? The destruction of the Western Capital is also equivalent to breaking the foundation of the Yang thief. "Oh He burned Ge's small eyes, and his bones were spinning in circles.

Mi Dang sneered, "What do you think is the third move of this king?" ”

He didn't dare to speak.

But the look in his eyes became more and more unkind.

"Report to the king, and come again to ask for food." A Qiang official came to report.

Oh He Yaoge breathed a long sigh of relief.

Mi Dang's face changed a few times, and the murderous aura gathered in his eyes several times, and finally softened down, and said with a smile: "Give them them, give them more this time, and prepare some wine, meat, money, and silk, and send them together." ”

Qiang Guan was puzzled, but he still carried it out faithfully.

"Tonight, you and the moth cover the sneak attack on Lu Shuihu and Yueshi Hu!" The fan stared at Oh Ho Burn.

Oh He Yaoge was surprised: "King, they are allies!" ”

Mi Dang sneered: "This king and that Yang Zheng are also allies, this time, if you are defeated again, you don't have to see me." ”

Oh He Yaoge's whole body trembled: "Yes." ”

The full moon hangs in the night sky like a silver platter, the wolf howls, and the wind howls.

Zhao Deng looked at the full moon, but his heart fluctuated a little.

He was still young, but he saw his destiny.

As the first person to follow Yang Zheng, his qualifications are older than Zhang Teh and Zhou Yu.

However, Zhang Te and Zhou Yu are already in charge of their own figures.

And he waited for death in this dock fort.

It's not terrible to die, it's terrible to see your own hopeless future.

In the midst of sentimentality, the sound of horses' hooves crushed the night.

Zhao Deng is a cavalry member of the Wuwei Battalion, and the father and son have been horsemen in the army for three generations, and they are very familiar with war horses, and when they hear the sound of horses' hooves, they can judge the number of war horses.

In the night, the sound of war horses trampling the ground is particularly clear.

"Five thousand, six thousand, seven thousand, eight thousand rides!"

There are more than 8,000 rides!

This must not be your own cavalry.

Yang Zheng has just arrived, and he has not yet formed a cavalry.

The only one who can take out this cavalry nearby is Zhong Qiang!

And the dock fort where he is located is less than forty miles away from the western capital!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! More than a dozen remnants in the fort immediately woke up and immediately picked up their swords, spears, bows and arrows.

Though their bodies are crippled, their hearts are not crippled.

Being able to escape back to Wugong City with injuries under the pursuit of the Shu army has already shown their tenacity.

In the northwest, everything can fall, the ability to kill people cannot be lost, and wild beasts and Qianghu can kill them at any time.

The Xiefeng Dock Fort is based on the Beichuan River on the left and the Crow Ridge on the right, and the terrain is not particularly dangerous.

But if you want to get around this dock fort, you need to make a fifty-mile detour to the east.

And the enemy clearly did not want to go fifty miles more.

The remnants of the soldiers are also veterans who have died for the rest of their lives.

The kung fu in his hands is not weak at all, skillfully setting up a spear and pulling up a bow and arrow.

Fortunately, the enemy is a light horseman, coming from afar.

Zhao Deng glanced at everyone and suddenly found that the things in the eyes of these people were similar to his own.

Some of them still have nostalgic looks on their faces.

"Brothers......"

"Zhao Tou rest assured, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, brothers know!"

There was no fear in the eyes of the old soldiers, but longing.

All the doubts in Zhao Deng's heart suddenly disappeared, "Okay, let's fight with my brothers again today, win, have meat to eat, drink wine, and women to sleep, and if you lose, you can live up to the general's care." ”

"Haha, that's what Zhao Tou said."

The old soldiers' faces were full of red light, as if they had regained their pride on the battlefield in the past.

In the solemn night, the beacon fire burned violently, shining far away, enough for the people of the Western Capital to see.

Zhao Deng supported his body with a wooden frame, and placed spears, bows and arrows, shields and other objects beside him.

Several of the old men with stumps held the ring-headed knives tightly to their arms, and the other hand held up the short spear.

Eighteen old soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and there is excitement in their eyes.

In the hazy night, the Qiang rode wildly.

Unable to hold his feet for a while, dozens of horses fell into the moat.

It was swept into the Beichuan River by the torrent.

The remnants laughed loudly on the ramparts.

This naturally aroused the anger of the Qiang people.

Arrows rained down on the not spacious dock fort.

The remnants of the soldiers had already erected their shields.

A moment later, the rammed dock fort made of loess was filled with feathered arrows, like a hedgehog dormant in the night.

"Hold for two hours, and the reinforcements from the Western Capital will arrive!" Zhao Deng tried his best to boost morale.

As long as you see the beacon fire, it doesn't even take two hours for the western capital to arrive.

Annoyed and angry, the Qiang people cut down the surrounding trees to build a simple pontoon bridge and build three wooden ladders.

However, due to the terrain constraints, it was certainly impossible for all 8,000 men to be engaged in the siege battle.

More than 300 Qiang soldiers mustered up the courage to rush across the wooden bridge and squeeze in front of the narrow terrain in front of the dock fort.

The city is full of arrows, there is no need to aim, and every arrow can be accurately hit.

At the cost of more than 30 people's lives, the Qiang people finally clinged to the dock fort.

But they were greeted by an even more tragic fate.

The boulders on the city fell, and where they tumbled, they brought up a piece of flesh and blood.

The Qiang screamed and fled back.

On the other side of the moat, a Qiang general turned pale and personally killed a deserter with a knife.

With a finger of the blade, another two hundred Qiang pawns dismounted.

This time the effect was better than the last time, but it was only just after touching the city, and it was driven down.

The terrain of Wubao is really treacherous, with moats, cliffs, and the turbulent Beichuan River.

The foothold in front of the dock fort is only a dozen feet.

Or a slope.

Repelled three Qiang attacks in succession, and Zhao Deng on the city wall gradually became exhausted.

"Zhao Tou, have you been in the second hour?"

"It's still early." Zhao Deng looked at the white of the fish belly between the heavens and the earth in the east.

"Brothers, have you killed five or six hundred Qiang thieves?"

"It's not enough, it's not enough, it's almost the same to kill five or six thousand!"

A few people talked and laughed, and once again repelled the attack of the Qiang people.

But there was a fire burning in his mouth.

Hunger and exhaustion go hand in hand.

Zhao Deng's ghost sent a god to pick up the blood and water on the city wall and pour it into his mouth.

Red blood dripped down the corners of his mouth again.

The others watched his movements, first stunned, and then followed suit.

"Happy!" Several people laughed.

It was as if the strength had returned to the body.

Some also smear blood on their faces.

Under the reflection of the beacon fire, this scene was seen by the Qiang people by the moat, and their faces were horrified.

The Qiang general once again ordered the siege of the fort, but the Qiang people involuntarily took a step back.

This situation made the old soldiers on the city wall laugh even louder.

The Qiang general himself carried his sword and crossed the moat with a hundred soldiers in iron armor.
