The sound of fighting in the valley came to an end, and as the besieging Jihu soldiers retreated to rest, the guards at the head of the city also began to drag their tired bodies to clean the battlefield and repair the gaps.

"Why are these pawns so vicious? Bring the thief subordinate surnamed Cui over, and I'll ask him what's so weird about him! ”

The guards supported the wall and looked down, and the corpses of Ji Hu were scattered everywhere on the land outside the city as far as the eye could see, and the arrogance and contempt of the enemy in his eyes were no longer the same.

According to the experience of previous battles, the fighting spirit of these Jihu troops is really not tenacious, not to mention attacking this dangerous city of Guide, even if they encounter it in the wild, they often can flee and never love war.

However, the Jihu people who came along the way, not only did they have many soldiers and filled the valley, but they were also full of fighting spirit, and they gritted their teeth and were not afraid of death.

These enemies did not stop to rest because of the distance of labor, and when they reached the valley outside the city, they immediately launched an attack on the city. Although the defenders of the city successfully repelled the enemy attack, they also clearly noticed that these soldiers were very different from the previous battles.

In just one hour, the Jihu men launched three rounds of offensives, and the number of troops invested increased one by one, and the third time they directly invested more than 3,000 soldiers, blocking the water of the eastern wall of Guide City.

Although there was no siege equipment to assist, these fierce and fearless pawns almost climbed to the top of Guide City by stacking people.

Although the defenders repelled the disorganized attack of these soldiers, more than half of the equipment and materials for defending the city were consumed, and arrows, wood and stones needed to be replenished urgently.

The guards were quite confident, but they only felt that with the location of the city and the ease of work, it should not be a problem to rely on the people of the headquarters to hold on for ten days and half a month.

can look at the current situation, if Jihu can still maintain such a high-intensity siege rhythm in the future, if there are no reinforcements outside, I am afraid that I will have to abandon the city in two or three days.

Cui Yansheng was soon brought up again, and in the face of the guard's questioning, he replied: "The first attacker should be the thief Hu Wanqiqu Shuai named Hao Renwang, whose subordinates are more than 10,000 and quite powerful. The general has seen that the thieves are rampant, and it is advisable to ask for help as soon as possible, at least until Li Yuanjun leads the crowd to kill back. ”

When the guard heard this, he was even more embarrassed, and shouted angrily: "Lao Tzu is not the thief's official department, why should he sacrifice his life for him to fight against the thief?" If you hadn't brought these thieves here, the city wouldn't have suffered this calamity! ”

"In the Rong Brigade, killing thieves is the industry! If the generals are limited to their respective duties and stay out of the matter, then may I ask, do we have the responsibility to recruit thieves? In the northern states of Shaanxi, thieves are rampant, the people are not happy, the wilderness is everywhere, and the behavior is dangerous, whose fault is it? ”

Cui Yansheng sneered when he heard this: "The general's wild words are still in my ears. The guests and soldiers who made the king cross the border stopped hundreds, because they saw the thieves committing murder in the wilderness and anger, and killed countless thieves. If there was a plan to follow their duties at that time, why bother to take risks from the place, and they must be attributed to the incompetence of the side soldiers!

The envoy once said that attacking each other will only hurt and be tired, and it will not help! The border situation has its own sorrows, occasionally or the strength is not enough, it is necessary to be considerate, and the relief and relief of worries is the original plan of the matter, and it should not be blamed. The thieves are scattered and difficult to chase, and it is the best policy to gather and kill.

The general sees this as a disaster, so what is the matter of building a city and ranking here! Cui is not talented, and he has also stabbed several thieves, but he did not die by luck, and now he has entered the city, and life and death are only cut by the general! ”

After hearing these words, the guard general was furious at first, stared at Cui Yansheng stubbornly, and then looked back at his subordinates for a while and said loudly: "Let's not talk about the hardships of our border army for the time being, but our ambition is underestimated, how should we respond?" ”

"Kill! Fight the enemy! ”

The soldiers on the left raised their arms and shouted, looking at Cui Yansheng's eyes with a little shame, but the worry between their eyebrows and eyes also disappeared.

"Lao Tzu is looking down on those disgusting things in Nanzhou who are fighting for power, but if your family envoy is really as ambitious as he said, I will have the honor to meet him in the future, and I will confess to him. Since I have taken you into refuge, the city is in life, and I am dead. If you have spare strength, defend the city and kill the enemy. ”

After saying this, the guard ordered someone to throw a war knife to Cui Yansheng, and then ordered: "The thieves are in a hurry, and they are in a hurry to fight." The sons and daughters have merit in the enemy, I will reward you, kill sheep in the city for meals, and only after you are full will you be more powerful! ”

When the soldiers heard this, they shouted and cheered one after another, and were even happier than they were at the repel of several enemy attacks in succession. Although they are in the pastoral area, they have not eaten meat for a long time because of their lack of food and frugality.

Morale in the city has recovered, but the people outside the city are a little unsustainable.

Needless to say, Hao Renwang's hatred for Li Tai and his subordinates is needless to say, just now he personally led the people to attack the city, and he was so hard that he even pulled the bowstring directly with the bow, and at this moment he retreated for a while, looked at the opposite city and said in a deep voice: "Tell the people and horses to enter the front, I have already suppressed the courage of the defenders for them with human lives, and the soldiers in the city are tired and lacking, so it is a good opportunity to continue the attack!" ”

"Liu Wanqi on the back road sent a message to tell that he needed to cut down trees and build ladders to climb the city, and he would attack tomorrow morning......"

The general bowed his head and said.

When King Hao Ren heard this, he was furious: "Stupid, stupid! The most important thing for us to attack across the border is to defeat the enemy quickly. Those miscellaneous pawns harvested along the way should be used here. Once the enemy has calmed down, it will not be easy to attack again! Then why was the thief army able to kill and plunder and flee here? It's because it's fast! More than 10,000 people can't move forward, and once they stay, they will be discouraged! ”

Thinking of his own castle that was quickly breached by Li Tai and his entourage, King Hao Ren was heartbroken again.

The unsuccessful pursuit in the past few days also made him deeply realize the truth of the speed of soldiers. Attacking is like a storm, fleeing is the autumn wind sweeping the field, fighting without fighting, walking and not leaving, will only delay the opportunity.

Wandering like the wind should have been their housekeeping skills, but they were vividly exerted by that enemy army, and the people and horses had already chased here, and those Hu chieftains still wanted to preserve their strength, which was foolish in his opinion.

"They don't attack, I attack! Tell the horses, eat quickly, and attack again before nightfall! ”

Although he was full of anger in his heart, King Hao Ren couldn't order other people, so he could only grit his teeth and order.

"But the loss of people and horses has exceeded 1,000 ......"

When the general heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed.

"Capture this city, and the losses can be recouped!"

At this point, Hao Renwang has become a red-eyed gambler who has no way out, hoping to make up for the huge losses he suffered before by moving forward.

His mentality, the other Hu chiefs also foresaw, when dusk his troops launched another attack on the city, several Hu chiefs on the back road each laughed and said: "Nioh is really crazy this time, and he has lost his stability in the past. How can you return in vain!

But since he wants to attack blindly, who will compete with him for this hard work? Attacking the city is not our forte, this realm is not without other forces except this city, he prefers to force the difficulty, but we can't be stupid, hurry up and search and sweep the herd villages near the left! ”

Hao Renwang's plan may be right, but his appeal does not represent the interests of all his peers.

This time, the joint dispatch of troops by the various departments was not in essence a rebellion with a clear program and a siege of the city, no matter what the name of the initial launch was, but now for the Zhuhu tribe, the most important thing is to take advantage of the fire and loot by relying on the strength of the people.

Now that King Hao Ren is besieging and attacking the city in front, they naturally have to seize the opportunity to carefully sweep the surrounding countryside, and the benefits that can be easily looted are true. Even if they are lucky enough to capture the city, they will be able to own it for a long time and dominate the territory?

"Thieves are short-sighted and greedy, easy to scatter and cowardly, have no heart of honor and disgrace, only greedy for life, collapse at the touch of a button, and chase difficult, so it is difficult to eradicate."

The soldiers of Xiazhou came south, and Li Tai, who was on a par with Yu Wengui, heard the other party's high summary of the temperament of the Jihu ethnic group, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "The envoy is indeed a high opinion, although I have not been fighting with the thief Hu for a long time, I also feel deeply about Hu Xing." When the lure group came out, the means were exhausted, and the resentment was profound, but this group of Hu still hesitated to chase after it and almost lost control. ”

"The insight may be high, but the skill is clumsy, and it is useless! Gao Pingnan's praise, I really dare not take it. He has been in the town for a long time, but he has not been able to gather the thieves and attack it, making it a problem on the surface. If you can annihilate the thief Hu this time, the officials and people of Beizhou will be grateful for your righteous deeds! ”

Yu Wengui sighed again, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Li Tai.

"The ruler is short, the inch is long, and the apparatus is different, so it should be used separately. The thief is cunning and cautious, and when he hears the name of the king, he is frightened and does not dare to fight. But I am nameless, and the thieves are not frightened, so the thieves rise up and are reluctant to attack. If it weren't for the assistance of the king's forces, it would be difficult to include this achievement! ”

Li Tai is not a sycophant when he says this, it is just a blind rush to be able to gather and not kill, if Yu Wengui is also like the garrison in other realms just self-protection and does not send troops, then he may also have to bear the charge of disturbing thieves and disturbing the border state.

Everyone loves to listen to good words, Yu Wengui also laughed when he heard this, and said while riding his horse and galloping: "Gao Ping is a strong man who wants to give me a good reputation, and I will no longer refuse." But it also needs to be after the battle before they can praise each other without feeling empty.

I hope that this battle will kill the thief Hu, and from now on, Gao Pingnan will not be nameless in this realm. I'm curious, after you are famous, if Daxing Taien guards this place, what other clever plan can you punish Qunhu? ”

Hearing Yu Wengui say this, Li Tai also had a lot of expectations in his heart, he really hoped to get a chance to sit in the town and develop his own forces calmly, and when he fled all the way before, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
