When the sun rises high in the east, the offensive and defensive battles outside Shunzhou City start again.

With the sound of the horn, a group of warriors from different tribes launched a new round of siege and attack on the Sichuan and Shuzhou cities, which were only half the size of Yuzhou, in the east, west and north.

These soldiers either pushed the crash car covered with cowhide, or carried a cloud ladder about ten feet long, shouting, struggling forward, against the scattered arrows at the head of the city, and soon killed the city that had already been filled in the moat.

Immediately, the previously selected brave warriors climbed the ladder that had been erected and rushed straight up.

Not to mention anything else, these barbarian warriors who are accustomed to surviving in the mountains of Sichuan and Shu and the southwest are still extremely skilled in climbing, and they are already halfway up in the blink of an eye, and they can see that the four or five zhang high city wall can be trampled under their feet.

But at this moment, as the shrill trumpets of the city sounded, thousands of men suddenly appeared from behind the walls of the city, and they either drew their bows and shot fiercely, or raised their spears and stabbed down, and slaughtered the besiegers who approached in front of them.

This time, the soldiers besieging the city were unexpected, and they screamed constantly and fell into the dust.

In the blink of an eye, a pile of corpses piled up under the city, causing the morale of the besieging soldiers and horses to drop sharply, and even the drums and trumpets that urged them to fight in the back became scattered and low.

In the end, these horses retreated decisively, but they threw away all kinds of siege weapons brought by the team, and many of them were taken away by the soldiers and horses defending the city.

As for the teams that drove the crash car to bombard the city gate, they were also drenched in the fire oil that was suddenly poured on the city of Shunzhou, and when the fire was lit again, even the people and cars became fireballs, screaming and running straight to the left and right, so it was not miserable.

The sun had not yet risen to its highest point, and with the sound of gold in the rear, this round of seemingly fierce and unrestrained siege battles ended in a hasty retreat.

As the attacking side, the ten armies of southern Sichuan, as in the previous days, did not gain anything except for leaving more than 200 corpses under the city.

The defenders of the city shouted for another victory, and once again their homeland had escaped the devastation of the hateful enemy.

"Good!"

The red-faced Shunzhou Tusi Tian Nige was also extremely excited, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Let the warehouse prepare more wine and food, and reward the warriors who defend the city!" And silver, two taels each! ”

"Thank you, Patriarch!" When all the soldiers heard such a reward, they were also in high spirits, and they thanked the reward in unison, and their morale looked more and more high.

For these Shunzhou soldiers and horses who can only rely on the Tian Tusi family to survive and have never seen silver a few times since they were young, this reward of two taels of silver per person is really a heavy reward, which is enough for them to work hard for their masters to die.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Tenniger's face was even bigger, he stepped forward with his beard, and praised the general who defended the city a few words, and then turned to leave.

Then, he saw his henchman Tian Zheng waiting there with an uneasy face, and quickly came over at this time: "Patriarch......"

"What's the matter?"

"It's not a problem to reward silver, but this wine and food ...... I'm afraid it's going to be hard to make it up. ”

"Huh? Can't I even get this bit of food out of Shunzhou City? ”

Seeing that Tian Nige's face sank, Tian Zheng felt even more nervous.

He was also born in the Han family, but he was born as a slave of the Tian family, relying on his intelligence and studiousness, and being good at flattery, he has the position of the Tian family's steward today.

However, in the final analysis, he is still just a slave of the Tian family, and life and death are in the thoughts of the master, so naturally he does not dare to make the other party dissatisfied.

At the moment, he could only explain in a whisper: "The grain stored in the city is really not enough, our Tian family's grain has always been placed in the evening autumn village in the west, but now it is ......."

Tennig nodded knowingly.

Indeed, this time the Ten Divisions of Southern Sichuan came too suddenly, and they were completely caught off guard, especially after losing the battle out of the city, he could only defend Shunzhou for help.

As a result, the Tian family's largest granary, Xiaoqiu Village, was cut off, and I don't know what happened over there.

"Patriarch, the food in the city can last for five or seven days now, but it is also after reducing everyone's food supply. If you reward the whole army at this time, I'm afraid ......"

"Doesn't that make my words count?" Tenniger's face sank again.

When you are happy to give a reward, you can't break your word, right?

Tian Zheng hesitated, and could only lower his voice a few points: "Then there is only one way left - to go out of the city and raid and snatch the stored grain of Duqiu Village back to the city." ”

"Huh?" Tennig thought about it for a moment, and really thought it was a good idea.

After all, in the past few days, the soldiers and horses outside the city have been repeatedly frustrated, and it seems that they have long lost their previous sharpness, and at this time, they must not have imagined that they would venture out of the city, and they will be able to kill them by surprise!

"Okay, just do what you want!" Tian quickly clapped his head, and with another move, he called a clan general beside him: "Tian Jian, you lead a group of men and horses, and you will go out of the city tonight, and you want to bring back the grain from the Autumn Village to me!" ”

……

At the same time, in the barracks outside the city, the patriarchs were all full of bitterness.

Defeated again, this is the tenth day of the attack on Shunzhou, and the result is still unable to kill the head of the city.

This hit them especially hard, and they all began to wonder if their Northern Expedition was correct.

They thought that with such a big momentum and 100,000 troops pressing the border, they didn't dare to say that they could easily defeat Kuizhou and Yizhou and other important places in northern Sichuan, but a small state capital like Shunzhou was not yet captured?

Maybe just looking at their own situation, then the Shunzhou Tian clan has already looked at the wind.

But the reality gave them a big fight, such a small city that is only five or six zhang high and no more than 20,000 soldiers has become a roadblock.

No matter how much they tried their means, they couldn't defeat it, but each family suffered a lot of losses, and more than 3,000 people had fallen under this small city.

"Patriarch Yang, if we continue like this, we will be in danger. I've heard that the soldiers and horses in the north have begun to move, maybe when, the army of the Mu family and the Long family will arrive, and when the time comes, can we still protect ourselves? ”

"Yes, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court actually didn't participate in this battle, wouldn't it be that they wanted to consume us and let us fight among the various clans in Sichuan and Shu, right?"

"The people below are almost overwhelmed, if they can't take Shunzhou for another two or three days, I'm afraid everyone will turn around and go back......"

In the face of the complaints and retreats of the patriarchs, Yang Jianting was also helpless.

This is where the disadvantages of the whole army not being subordinate to each other and doing their own thing, the siege battle in the past few days looks lively, but in his view, it is clearly nonsense.

If Sun Ning is present, he will definitely be able to say a sentence - rookies peck each other.
