Ding Yuan was very confident, and after taking an army of 25,000 out of Jinyang, he passed through Tongba, Xiangyuan, Niexian, and Tunliu counties without entering, and went straight to Changzi County, the county town of Shangdang.

If he knew that he had left Jinyang, the capital of Taiyuan County, with a large army on his front foot, and Zhao Yun on his back foot, he had entered Taiyuan County with 100,000 Yellow Turban Moth thieves from the direction of Zhan County, and was sweeping D-NG towards Jinyang step by step along Yangyi and Yuci, he would definitely turn around and run back, and save his nest first.

Ding Yuan, who ran wildly all the way, finally arrived at the county seat of the eldest son on the morning of the eighth day after he came out, and what was waiting for him was Jia Xu, a strategist of the party seat. The county seat of the eldest son was no stronger and taller than Crouching Tiger City, so Jia Xu personally took 3,000 jīng soldiers to garrison it, leaving only 1,000 soldiers and Zhou Cang to guard Crouching Tiger City.

"The defenders of the city heard clearly, I am the assassin of Shi Ding Yuan, and now I led an army of 30,000 to besiege the city, just to catch the thief Zhao Xing, open the city m-n, and the rest will not ......be investigated" After Ding Yuan stood still from afar, he came to have a "greeting" before the two armies started as usual.

"The city is like a rabid dog barking at the sun, could it be Ding Jianyang, a child in the state?"

"It's ridiculous to bark at the rabid dog, I don't know if I lose Jinyang!" After Jia Xu finished speaking, the soldiers guarding the city followed the deputy general Fang Yue to chant in unison the rolling melon that had been practiced for a long time, and the voice went straight through the sky, making Ding Yuan greatly fold his face in front of more than 20,000 soldiers.

"Oh, bold erection, when the city is broken, the first to take the head of Erxiang, so that you can teach you to know the power of the law of the country!" Ding Yuan was so angry by Jia Xu's words that he almost turned his back on him, and hurriedly gave the order to attack the city.

Subsequently, 25,000 soldiers began to besiege the county seat of Changzi from 4 m-n. Because Ding Yuan came prepared, siege equipment such as ladders was sufficient, as long as the Taiyuan soldiers climbed to the top of the city, the eldest son county was in danger.

But will the county seat where the poisonous soldier Jia Xu is stationed allow Ding Yuan to succeed? The answer, of course, is no.

Without waiting for the four m-n siege soldiers to approach, Jia Xu ordered the city crossbow to attack the Taiyuan soldiers who were carrying ladders and pushing siege vehicles. After Zhao Xing's improvement, the key parts are all steel structure G crossbows, both the SH-Cheng and the penetrating power are amazingly large! The crossbow arrows, which are thicker and longer than the spears used by the soldiers, are equipped with four-bladed steel plate wind fixing wings at the back, and when they break through the air, they make a heart-palpitating whining sound, and pounce straight towards the ladder and the siege vehicle...... In just one round, the siege equipment rushing in front was beaten to pieces, and some unlucky county soldiers were pierced through the head by long crossbow arrows and nailed directly to the ground, and the death was so miserable that people dare not look at it.

Finally, there were soldiers who were not afraid of death and gradually approached under the city wall, and then the soldiers defending the city held individual crossbows, and sprinkled arrows like splashing water on the county soldiers under the city, and the condescending attack had a wide field of vision, and no one in the city could survive the rain of arrows.

The first round of attacks by the Taiyuan soldiers was easily disintegrated by Jia Xuyun. Ding Yuan had no choice but to leave behind thousands of corpses and hurriedly retreat back for three miles.

Ding Yuan saw that the defense of the eldest son's county town was not leaky, and the defenders in the city were even more loyal to Zhao Xing, and he had no consciousness of "abandoning the dark and turning to the light", so he quickly ordered to stop the attack and prepare the whole army to fight again in the coming day.

That night, all the generals in Ding Yuan's big tent gathered together to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.

"The arrows in the eldest son county are raining down, especially the G crossbow is huge, it is very shocking, and it may be difficult to break through for a while!"

"What the military advisor said is extremely true, even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on our side, it is difficult to get close to the city wall for half a step, so we can only look at the city and sigh, wouldn't we be in a hurry!" Ding Yuan said with some annoyance.

"Not far from the county seat of the eldest son is Zhao Xing's old nest Crouching Tiger City, why don't we turn to attack Crouching Tiger City, so that Na Jia Xuwei is difficult to take care of, and in a hurry, there will be an omission to take advantage of!" the strategist Xu Yan suggested.

"Okay, the army will rest today, and tomorrow we will attack Crouching Tiger City!" Ding Yuan made a decision.

On the second day, Ding Yuanzhen led the remaining 20,000 men and horses to attack Crouching Tiger City. When Ding Yuan arrived at Crouching Tiger City, the only thing he could do was to look at the city and sigh. Looking at the Xiongcheng in front of him, which was taller and heavier than Luoyang City, Ding Yuan really couldn't wait to have a few big mouths. "Was this built by man?" Ding Yuan asked himself in his heart.

Looking at the nine-zhang high city wall of Crouching Tiger City and the twelve-zhang wide moat under the city, anyone will feel a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of their hearts. The ladder brought by Ding Yuan is only six zhang highest, and it can't even erect a moat, so how can we talk about attacking the city? You can't rush a group of boats and row over, right?

Ding Yuan, who rushed to the scene and returned depressed, had no choice but to lead the army back to Changzi County along the same road, preparing to attack Changzi County with one heart. Zhou Cang looked at the Taiyuan army that was far away, and his heart was very unhappy! Finally, he asked Zhao Xing to transfer him out of Huguan, but it turned out that he was still defending the city, and he didn't even have a chance to do it.

Zhou Cang didn't just think about it in his heart, but an hour after Ding Yuan left, he led a thousand soldiers, each carrying a bundle of firewood, and rushed out of Crouching Tiger City, following Ding Yuan all the way, ready to take the opportunity to poke a guy in the ass of the Taiyuan county soldiers.

Book friends are going to ask, what should we do in Crouching Tiger City? Don't forget that Zhao Xing has a reserve force! As soon as Zhou Cang left on the front foot, Li Fu took 100 students from the Crouching Tiger Junior Class on the back foot, followed by 200 Qiang-bearded disciples, and commanded the officials who had not yet entered the barracks and were still on errand in the various government offices, and immediately went to the city! With these more than 500 people guarding the three cities, it was enough to resist a round of attacks by thousands of troops and horses.

It was also Ding Yuan's bad luck that he didn't know the details of Jia Xu, so he dared to rashly do the trick of "besieging Wei and attacking Zhao". No, Ding Yuan led the army to Crouching Tiger City, and Jia Xu got the news, and then ordered Fang Yue to lead two thousand soldiers, each carrying a bundle of dry firewood on their backs, and carrying a black ground in their arms out of the eldest son's county.

What is Fang Yue going to do? Of course, he is digging a pit for Ding Yuan.

It turns out that there is a low concave place between the county seat of the eldest son and the Crouching Tiger City, which is shaped like a gourd, and is called "gourd mouth", which is a necessary place between the two cities.

Jia Xu, as the Xi military division of the Shangdang family, is of course familiar with the terrain and landforms around the county seat of the eldest son, and before Ding Yuan led the army to attack, he had already prepared several sets of meals for Ding Yuan, just looking at Ding Yuan's appetite for temporary dishes.

Zhou Cang's leading the army out of the city was not an unauthorized action, but an agreement in advance. In Shangdang, not to mention Zhou Cang, even Guan Yu, Xu Huang and others cannot act without authorization, and they must be ordered by the operational command before they can mobilize the army, which Zhao Xing has set a dead rule from the beginning.

The sad Ding Yuan arrived as promised, and rushed into the pocket of Jia Xu Jīng with 20,000 horses. Fang Yue, who was observing the enemy's situation on the high ground, shook his head vigorously as he looked at the bottom of the valley, because he saw that Ding Yuan did not divide the army into three marches, front, middle, and rear, but followed up defenselessly, this way of marching was undoubtedly more conducive to his own fire attack strategy.

"Ring the arrow, light the fire!" Fang Yue saw that the time had come, and immediately gave an order.

Subsequently, a human tragedy of "Burning Hulukou", directed by Jia Xu, executed by Fang Yue, and performed by 20,000 troops in Taiyuan, began......
