As more than a dozen bloody Hu pawn heads were stacked up, the height of this Jingguan on the hill increased by a few points. In the past two days, the scale of this Jingguan has more than doubled compared to the beginning, but there is still a big distance from the level that makes people feel cold all over the body when they see it from afar.

"Lord Lang, the thief army has a new movement!"

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Li Tai strode up to a hill in front of him, stood on the top of the hill and looked down, with a panoramic view of the Guangwu city near the river and the thief army camp in the north of the valley. A considerable part of the camp of the thieves is still in the valley to the north, and it is difficult to get a full view, but only the exposed part of the camp is enough to accommodate more than 20,000 people.

There is a distance of seven or eight miles between the big city of Guangwu and the thief camp, and the terrain in the valley is flat, and they can see each other, which is not too far away, but it just happens to consume more than half of the strength of the cavalry and horses in a round of charge, and no matter who wants to take the initiative to invite the battle, they will leave enough time for each other to prepare, and they will not achieve the effect of surprise and surprise.

The so-called new trend of the thief army of the subordinates is that a large number of people and horses suddenly poured out of the thief camp and went straight to the battlefield in this river valley.

Li Tai's location can't really see the battle of the thief army, but when he sees the crowd of people with heads and tails, he can't help but feel that the number of these thieves is really large, in the valley terrain of northern Shaanxi, where there is no deep and changeable terrain, if you don't notice it for a while, it will be intercepted by thieves, even the elite people and horses may be directly filled in the valley by this sea of people tactics.

The thief army suddenly entered the battlefield in a big way, obviously not because they were full of food and distraction, but because they wanted to do something to change the rhythm of the war.

As most of the thief army continued to enter the battlefield, the first to bear the brunt of the Guangwu city also rose from the beacon smoke of warning, apparently to inform Li Tai's reinforcements to prepare for battle.

"Governor, should you let your troops get close to the formation in case of an emergency?"

Fei Lianmu, the lord of the Dry Valley Army, was worried about the safety of Guangwu City, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask Li Tai for instructions.

"Wait a minute, Duke Wu'an is a powerful general of the Taiwan government, skilled in military affairs, even if the thief army attacks, it will be difficult to shake the city defense in a short time. The reinforcements approached hastily, but they lost their calmness. ”

Li Tai shook his head after hearing this, still not planning to expose his strength too early. The area around the Qingshui River Valley is not a flat wilderness, and the valleys are difficult to climb and communicate with each other, and once the soldiers choose the route to travel, they lose many improvisation options.

At present, the thief army is only a large increase in troops on the battlefield, and has not launched a real assault on the city, and it is not excluded that it is a deliberate posture, retaining many highly mobile new forces, and attracting reinforcements from the surrounding areas to encircle and send reinforcements.

What's more, Li Mu is also a powerful person with more than ten lives, leading thousands of men and horses to defend the fortified city, although the enemy army is overwhelming, it will not be taken away by people in a wave.

Therefore, Li Tai was not in a hurry to lead the army to rescue him, but ordered the men and horses who had returned to Fushi City to recuperate again, and he set up a temporary camp on the top of the hill to watch the development of the battle.

The defenders in Guangwu City were under the pressure of the black pressure and the thieves outside the city, and their mood was not as relaxed as the reinforcements outside the city, and the soldiers were all serious and busy making various defensive preparations.

Li Mu saw that there were many newly made large-scale siege equipment in the battle of the thief army, obviously not in a posture, but in the process of brewing for many days to really attack the city, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, but he still cheered up and pointed to the thief army outside the city Wuyang Wuyang and said with a smile: "These thieves are in turmoil and panicked, Fenglin City has not yet been conquered, and there are reinforcements outside the city who have not retreated, so they are already busy rushing to the city to die!"

Don't be surprised, the fighter plane is no longer owned by the thieves, you only need to resist a few attacks, and the thieves will naturally collapse, and the thieves who look like a surge outside the city will be the merits of my soldiers everywhere and my wife and son! ”

Li Mu's words of encouragement were still very inspiring, and the soldiers above and below the city wall also raised their arms and shouted after listening to it, sweeping away the tension and crampedness before the big battle.

Seeing that the army's heart was excited, Li Mucai nodded with satisfaction, the meat was also stewed for you before, if you can't even bear a tough battle, you are sorry for the cattle and sheep who gave their lives in vain before!

At this time, in the battle formation of the thief army, all the powerful chiefs and generals also gathered under the wolfskin tailor's big curtain with serious expressions, waiting for the temporary commander Liu Duhou to give an order.

Liu Duhou's name is Liu Aqi, and he is a close subordinate of Liu Tuo, the wealthy chief who called himself King Zuoxian in Shihuzhong.

As a big force in Xihe Fenhu, there are hundreds of thousands of large and small tribes from Shihu, Liu Tuo is one of the most powerful chieftains, and even Liu Lisheng, who claimed to be the son of Shenjia Heaven, has to treat him with courtesy and win over the Mingjue, otherwise he would not dare to claim to be the second only king of Zuo Xian in the title of the Huns.

This time, there were more than a dozen Lishihu tribes who followed Liu Tuo, the king of Zuoxian, to leave their hometowns and find another livelihood, with a total of more than 50,000 men, women and children, and there were also betrayals and scattered or left behind along the way.

Of course, this is not because Zuo Xian Wang has a good way of governing his subordinates and his subordinates have super loyalty and cohesion, but there are too many Hu tribes struggling to survive in this vast land, including the Jihu tribes, to the extent that they are inexhaustible and cannot be dispersed.

No one wants to leave their homeland and be displaced, when Liu Tuo, the king of Zuoxian, was forced to lead his troops to leave the countryside in desperation, he also thought that the end was coming, but he did not expect that instead of weakening and dying, his power has increased.

Of course, this process is also full of hardships and dangers, so the Lishi Hus who have descended from the rich chieftains are also full of homesickness.

This time he entered Kouxia Prefecture and Dongxia Prefecture, not because of the original intention of the homesick chiefs who left Shihu, but because of the temptation and persuasion of Shuo Fanghu in this situation.

Shuofang Huzhong was not satisfied with the constraints of the Guanxi Tyrant, hoping to obtain a larger living space and more choices, so they took the initiative to lure away from Shihu to the south, hoping to use the hands of Shihu to sweep away the various forces existing in the realm.

Of course, Lishihu is not a day job, because of its large population, it needs a vast looting space to meet its own consumption. Shuo Fanghu took the initiative to bear their consumption for a period of time, and as their guide to plunder, they swept away certain hostile forces for Shuo Fanghu in the process of plundering, and both sides took what they needed, so they hit it off.

Liu Aqi was responsible for raiding Dongxia Prefecture with more than 40,000 people, half of whom were old and weak women and children in the clan, because Dongxia Prefecture was closer to their homeland, and after looting enough materials to return to their hometown, they could cross the river nearby and return to their hometowns, ending their year-long life of fleeing.

Coupled with the fact that nearly 10,000 people and horses from Shuofang Hu entered here, this is the total number of this Hu army, although the quality is not too high, but the quantity far exceeds the defenders of Dongxia Prefecture.

Although the powerful chieftains in the army are unruly, Liu Aqi, as the confidant of Liu Tuo, the king of Zuoxian, still has absolute authority. But at this time, the chieftains in the military array waiting for the military order to be issued did not know that their temporary commander Liu Aqi was being scolded by someone.

In the tent of the thief camp, which had become a little empty, a young man dressed in a white wolf skin chief was raising one leg and stepping on the back of Liu Aqi lying on the ground with his boots, whipping the other party while scolding angrily: "Stupid slave, tens of thousands of troops are at your disposal, and you can't even conquer a single enemy city in the south for many days!"

During this period, the officers and soldiers were already weak and not good at fighting, so they were forcibly expelled by King Gao to Hexi to steal their lives, can they stop our warriors? Because you stupid slave is cowardly and incompetent, I can't even have a big house and warm soup when I go to this realm, and I have to stay in this barren valley, what crime should you blame for this stupid slave! ”

"Young master, please rest assured, the slave has ordered the army to go out, and the city will be broken in the shortest possible time, and I respectfully invite the young master to come to ......"

That Liu Aqi prostrated at the feet of the young man, and he didn't have the same majesty as in front of others, but he just kowtowed again and again.

"Reassured? I'm not worried, I can't take the city, and I can vent my anger by taking the head of your stupid slave! Get out of here to supervise the siege of the city, and you are not allowed to return to the camp until the city is broken! ”

The young man kicked Liu Aqi again, and then waved his hand to drive him out.

Liu Aqi walked out of the big tent with a roll, and when he saw the subordinates who hurriedly came forward, his expression suddenly returned to a majestic state, and he said in a deep voice: "Is the elite cavalry in the formation gathered properly?" No matter where there is enemy disturbance during the siege, let the elite cavalry rush over as soon as possible, and never let the internal and external enemy forces gather! There is also Hu Cao, who asked his troops to form a first formation in front of the array, consuming the defenders' strength and equipment. ”

As he, the general of the unified army, entered the battle formation, the drums in the army suddenly thundered, the sound of killing shook the sky, and tens of thousands of horses went straight to the front of Guangwu City! However, in this seemingly lively siege battle, there were still thousands of men and horses sitting firmly in the rear of the army, and did not heed the sound of drums and horns and rushed to the city.
