As soon as it was dawn, a soldier rushed into the county guard mansion sweating profusely.

"The Snow Barbarians are attacking the city again!"

Xie Xun put on his armor and rushed to the city tower. When they arrived at the West City Gate, they found that there were no soldiers.

"What's going on?" Xie Xun asked Liu Fu.

Liu Fu was brave and cautious, and Xie Xun arranged for him to be stationed in Xicheng Tower.

Liu Fu scratched his head a little dazedly, "The last general didn't understand what the snow barbarian wanted to do?" ”

Many generals had already gathered on the city wall, all of them looking confused.

Xie Xun looked out of the city.

At a distance of about thirty zhang, the soldiers of the Snow Country, with a team of 3,000 people, are in full swing, building an earthen wall?

Xie Xun's eyes widened in astonishment, and when he looked down, his face immediately changed when he saw the thick wooden planks at the bottom and the two rows of small wooden wheels that were easy to ignore.

"Quick, shoot arrows, kill those who built the wall! With a heavy crossbow! Xie Xun drank vigorously.

Ordinary bows and crossbows have a range of less than thirty zhang, and only the heavy crossbows he brought from the capital can shoot so far.

Although the soldiers didn't understand why Marshal Xie looked nervous as if he was facing a great enemy, they immediately dragged the heavy crossbow out.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, most of the Snow Country soldiers who were building the wall died, and the remaining half retreated half a mile, and did not dare to come forward again, and even the wall that was half a foot high was abandoned.

In the Snowpiercer camp.

National Teacher Rahman nodded, "Although he is young, he has some eyesight, which is enough to fight with me Rahman." ”

Rahman waved at the soldiers in front of him who were ready to go, "Go ahead." ”

Upstairs in Jiuquan West City, Tian Qing pinched his chin and asked Xie Xun, "What the hell is the snow barbarian doing?" ”

"Now that the wall has not been erected, you naturally do not see danger, but what if the wall is as high as the wall?"

Those who understood all gasped and turned white.

The earthen wall can't be pierced by arrows, the fire can't burn, and the weather is cold again, as long as the wall is thick enough, even the boulder can't be smashed. The earthen walls moved forward, the enemy army hid behind the wall, and the Jiuquan City Tower was useless!

Thinking of the enemy attacking the city in that way, Tian Qing shouted every day, "Lao Tzu's head is pinned to the waistband of his trousers, and he will be a good man again in eighteen years" People are scared into a cold sweat.

At this time, outside the city, the enemy army began to build the wall again. At a distance of nearly three hundred meters, even heavy crossbowmen are at a loss.

"Marshal~" Liu Fu was a little anxious, "The last general will lead the troops out of the city, right?" ”

Xie Xun nodded, "Go ahead." ”

It's only 300 meters, if Liu Fu is fast enough, the people of the Snow Country will not have time to rescue.

"I'll go with you!" Zeng Qing jumped off the city tower.

The two generals rushed out with 50,000 soldiers. Those Snow Countryers seemed to have known that the people of the Cloud Dynasty would come out of the city, and when they heard the click of the city gate opening, they ran away. There were less than a thousand people, who ran slowly, and were slashed and killed by Liu Fu, and the others fled back to the Snow Country camp.

Liu Fu and Zeng Qing returned to the city with some dejected heads.

At noon, the Snowpiercers began to build the wall again. The distance is further away. Liu Fu did not ask Xie Xun for instructions, and led his troops out of the city to kill, just like in the morning, those people fled in despair, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled. However, as soon as Liu Fu returned to the city, the fleeing Snow Countryers turned back and built a wall farther away...... The cycle goes on and on until it gets dark.

The next day was still the same, the Snow Country people built the wall, and the soldiers of the Yun Dynasty led the troops out of the city to kill, only harvesting a little enemy life, and returned to the city in a hurry.

"When the Snow Barbarian retreats to a land twenty miles away, don't pursue it anymore." Xie Xun said.

The large battalion of the Snow Country is stationed fifty miles away, and halfway there, if the retreat is a little slower, it will be counter-killed.

"But those walls ......"

"If Ben Shuai is not mistaken, the Snow Countryers do not really want to rely on those walls to attack the city, but to force our army to pour out of the nest and fight a decisive battle with it."

At first, when he saw the enemy's wall, Xie Xun was a little anxious. After watching it for two days, Xie Xun completely denied the previous speculation. If the enemy really wanted to attack the city by relying on those walls, he would not act in a high-profile manner outside the city at all, but quietly fortified the walls in the camp. Although the distance was far away, by that time, the Yun Dynasty had no choice but to defend desperately against those high walls.

The enemy acted in a high-profile manner, and Xie Xun only thought of one reason, which was a warning: If you don't fight a decisive battle with me, I will really build a wall to attack the city!

The enemy should be prepared with both hands. What if the people in Nine Springs City are fools and don't see what they're going to do? Although the outcome of the siege is unpredictable, it is a good opportunity in the end.

The news brought back by the spies confirmed Xie Xun's speculation: the Snow Nationals had already started to build a wall in the camp!

"We only have three days left to prepare for this decisive battle." Xie Xun dropped five thunders.

Fortunately, the weather was cold, and the soil was somewhat frozen, so it was not easy to bond, otherwise the speed of the wall would be faster.

"Three days~" The emperor looked solemn, "Is there any news from King Pingnan and Marquis Zhongyong?" ”

Si Ko, who was in charge of the exchange of news, bowed down, "The two armies have been stationed in the valley and hidden according to the plan. Just wait for the emperor's order to send troops to a decisive battle. ”

"Good!" The emperor clapped his legs excitedly, "Three days later, my Great Cloud Dynasty and the Snow Barbarian will have a showdown!" ”

Then it is time to discuss the specific combat strategy. More than a dozen generals shouted until late at night, but they failed to set a formation. Who is the striker? Who is the flanker? Who is the queen? Who stayed in the Chinese army to protect the emperor? It is about the lives of the soldiers under his hands, and there is a complex entanglement of interests.

Xie Xun listened to the pounding of his temples, looked at Tian Qing, who also looked irritable, and asked softly, "Master Hou is willing to join forces with Ben Shuai?" ”

Tian Qing grinned, "Ge Laozi, isn't it just killing snow barbarians, I'm afraid of hair!" My Shu army is willing to be the vanguard! ”

strode forward, and was about to pull down the small flag of the forward, but was stopped by Xie Xun, "The forward is from the Xie family, and the Hou Ye can be the left and right wing......"

"Damn, Marshal Xie is looking down on my Lao Tian and Shu Army~" Tian Qing's eyes widened unhappily.

Xie Xun shook his head, "Definitely." Ben Shuai wants to keep more brave people for Shudi. ”

"Marshal Xie is compassionate." Tian Qing arched his hand, "The 150,000 Shu soldiers who followed Lao Tzu are not afraid of death." Xie Jiajun has been fighting in northern Xinjiang for many years, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, so let's leave the chance to live for them. ”

The dispute between the two made the generals who were arguing for the sake of profit blush.

The forwards and the left and right flanks were the first to face the enemy, suffering the most casualties. Thinking that the enemy had nearly 800,000 soldiers and horses, many generals were timid.

"Half of the Shu army and the Xie family army are the forwards, and the remaining half are the left and right wings, how about it?" Xie Xun said.

Although Tian Qing was not afraid of death, he also believed that his soldiers were not afraid of death, and he did not refuse Xie Xun's kindness in the end.

After the forward and two wings are set, the remaining middle army and the rear of the palace are only arranged according to the strength of the combat effectiveness. The Eastern Army and the Gyeonggi Army, which had strong combat effectiveness, were the central armies and defended the emperor; lost four cities in a row, and in the emperor's heart, he was already a coward, a waste of the Pei family's military palace.

After discussing the battle strategy, the nerves in Xie Xun's face remained tense, and everyone left the conference hall one after another, and Xie Xun's feet remained motionless.

"Xie Aiqing still has something?" The emperor didn't want to face Xie Xun alone at all, and when he saw his face, the emperor's blood surged.

Xie Xun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing in this battle is not outside the city. ”

The emperor squinted slightly, "Are you worried that something will happen to King Pingnan and Marquis Zhongyong?" ”

In this decisive battle, more than 400,000 people outside the city only need to force the enemy army to an ambush place, and the task will be completed.
