On the first day of heavy snow in Qinzhou, the Qiang-Hu coalition army was relatively stable, and continued to gather troops and restore morale.

On the second day of the heavy snow in Qinzhou, there began to be commotion within the Qiang-Hu coalition army.

Not all tribes are prepared for the winter. Originally, because the winter was bitterly cold and they couldn't live anymore, they came to join the Qianghu coalition army and fight for a glimmer of life.

Among the Qiang people, after all, it is only a coalition army, a temporary patchwork alliance, and there is no unified logistics, and it is all the affairs of each tribe to manage its own tribes.

Therefore, after two days of heavy snowfall, some small tribes could not hold on and began to make noise.

Or, immediately attack Ji County, break the city, rob the Han people of food and materials, and spend the winter in Ji County.

Or, they will disperse their luggage, distribute the stolen Han food, and go back to the grassland for the winter.

And on the third day of successive snowfalls, the divisions within the Qiang-Hu coalition army were even greater.

In this, of course, there are factors such as the unevenness of the Qiang and Hu coalition forces and their own ideas, but it is also indispensable to the result of the deliberate indulgence of the leaders of the five Qiang people.

In the eyes of the leaders of the five Qiang tribes, the current situation is unlikely to break through Ji County in the short term.

On the one hand, the reinforcements of the Han people have arrived, and this batch of reinforcements is not as vulnerable as the Han troops encountered in Longxi and Nan'an counties before.

On the other hand, if God doesn't help, the snow will not stop for three days, and if you continue to camp in the wilderness after seeing that the sky is going to continue to fall, none of the Qiang-Hu coalition forces will survive.

Therefore, the leaders of the five tribes of Qianghu discussed privately and decided to adopt the second plan - to kill people with a knife.

On the fourth day of the siege of Ji County, the Qiang-Hu coalition army finally launched a siege, led by those small and medium-sized tribes who were eager to attack the city, and began to storm Ji County.

But the problem is that the Qiang people will not attack the city, and the people who defend the city are still Zhuge Liang.

Basically, there is no need to ask, after a day of hard work, the Qiang-Hu coalition army suffered heavy losses, while on the Ji County side, the casualties were less than 100.

Zhuge Liang was a little puzzled, what are these Hu people doing, they are so rookie in attacking the city, even the people on the Dongwu side are not as good.

And on the fifth day of the siege. The Hu people suddenly began to retreat one after another.

Well, if you're going to retreat, then retreat, it's not unusual.

But what made Zhuge Liang dumbfounded was that in the process of retreating from these Hu people, the formation was scattered, there was no discipline, and there was no statement that anyone would retreat first and who would be behind, they were simply running backwards together.

Originally, Zhuge Liang was still more cautious, thinking that the behavior of these Qiang people was too abnormal, and wondered if there was any plan. Even Pang Tong, an adventurous person, suggested that Zhuge Liang wait and see it first.

But soon, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both found that the chaos of the Qiang coalition army was getting bigger and bigger, and they couldn't distinguish which ones were the front army and which ones were the rear army.

In the face of such a situation, regardless of whether the enemy has a conspiracy or not, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong feel that if they don't fight, they are really sorry for the good opportunity now.

Therefore, with the support of Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang once again sent Ma Dai to lead 10,000 troops as the vanguard, and Wu Yi led 5,000 soldiers to respond, and launched a pursuit of the Qiang-Hu coalition army.

Then, the situation is completely messed up.

This situation is really not what the leaders of the five Qiang tribes want to see.

They want to borrow the hands of the Han people to eliminate some strong men of small and medium-sized tribes, and then take the opportunity to annex the women, children, cattle and sheep of these small and medium-sized tribes, so as to take the opportunity to strengthen themselves and survive this winter.

Therefore, when attacking the city, they let the people of the small and medium-sized tribes go first, and now they can't stand it anymore and want to retreat, so they also choose to let their subordinates withdraw first, leaving the people of the small and medium-sized tribes to be responsible for breaking the rear.

But the problem is that not all of the small and medium-sized tribes in this group are fools, and they don't have to listen to the words of the leaders of the five tribes to retreat, and they are faster than anyone else.

Seeing that the Han people went out of the city to pursue, some of the more stupid and obedient Qiang tribes reversed the direction of retreat and took the initiative to greet the Han pursuit troops and undertake the task of breaking off.

But these people are too incompetent, and the number of troops is not much, at most there are only more than 1,000 people at a time, and in the face of Ma Dai's 10,000 Han soldiers, they are almost crushed at the touch of a button.

After coming here two or three times in a row, the leaders of the small and medium-sized tribes are not all fools, and everyone has noticed the problem - why are they all people from the small and medium-sized tribes who are responsible for the break?!

Isn't this a clear plan to send them to death!!

In this way, there are still several leaders of small and medium-sized tribes who are willing to risk the loss of their men to undertake such a task of sending them to death?!

After the break, the main force of the five Qiang tribes was busy collecting the women, children, cattle and sheep of these small and medium-sized tribes and retreating, and the battlefield was suddenly chaotic. A general of Ma Dai's level can't catch such a fighter?!

Seeing that the enemy's formation was chaotic, Ma Dai immediately led his soldiers to rush forward, breaking up the "broken back troops" set up by the Qiang people, and biting the tail of the Qiang retreating troops.

And as Ma Dai led the army into the main army of the Qiang people, more and more Qiang people chose to retreat and dodge, and the leaders of the five Qiang tribes at this time were already crying without tears.

This is not the situation they want to see, but things have developed to this point, and even if they want to retreat, they must first find a way to get rid of the pursuit of the Han Chinese. It's impossible for your own people not to fight.

Therefore, the leaders of the five Qiang tribes can only order their own people to fight. But the situation on the battlefield has been chaotic to this point, and what role can the Qiang soldiers, the main force of the five Qiang people, play.

Even if the system is intact, the scene is not chaotic, and the battle is head-on, the Qiang soldiers of the five Qiang people are not the opponents of the Han army, not to mention that the scene is chaotic now, the main Qiang soldiers of the five Qiang people want to engage the Han army, and the first thing to face is the impact of the Qiang people of other tribes escaping.

At this time, the main force of the Qiang soldiers of the five Qiang people, the formation was completely chaotic.

In the entire Jixian county, it was like a pot of porridge, and all the Qianghu and Hu armies fell into a situation of being at a loss.

What's even worse is that at this time, Pang De, who was cruising outside the battlefield and carrying out guerrilla missions, did not hesitate to lead 3,000 cavalry and launched a surprise attack on the rear flank of the Qiang people after seeing the chaotic scene of the Qiang people.

The assault of 3,000 cavalry joined, under normal circumstances, it could not play a big role, but in such a chaotic battlefield, the deterrent power and chain effect caused by the assault of 3,000 cavalry directly caused a part of the Qiang army to collapse.

And once the army collapses, it is easy to spread it to ten, ten, hundred, and spread throughout the army. The Qiang troops attacking Ji County were completely dispersed.

The battles have been fought to this point, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong really can't see what the Qiang people have behind. Then let's go all out.

Then, the Qiang people began to flee all over the mountains, and no one cared where they should go.

All in a word - this battle was won, but even Zhuge Liang was a little inexplicable.

The Qiang people lost when they lost, and their command system seemed to have never chosen the right one from beginning to end, and it was all a stupid move.

But what Zhuge Liang didn't understand was that this time the Qiang rebellion was so big, even capturing the prefecture and county, and being able to gather troops at a critical moment to attack Ji County, this is not like what an army without a command system should do.

So, the leaders of the Qiang people, what are they doing in this battle?!

What can you do, there are too many selfishness, and in the end, you will be lifted and hit yourself in the foot.

Anyway, Zhuge Liang really didn't figure it out, but the situation on the battlefield has been one-sided, and Zhuge Liang will not let go of such an opportunity.

Immediately ordered that he led 10,000 people to stay in Ji County, and Wu Yi, Jiang Xu, and Pang De led the army to pursue, chase and kill the Qiang people, and try to kill and injure the Qiang people's living force.

In this way, Pang De relied on the fast speed of the cavalry under his command, and was the first to chase the tail of the Qiang-Hu coalition army to Xixian, and cooperated with Zhang Xi to attack the Qiang-Hu coalition army for the second time.

The cause and effect of the incident, Zhang Xi finally figured it out.

At the same time, Zhang Xi also understood that it was unlikely that Xixian would encounter a large-scale Qiang attack, and at most it would only encounter harassment from some Qiang defeated soldiers.

After the two defeats, the Qiang people were unable to organize a large-scale offensive at all, and now that the snow was falling in Qinzhou, the Qiang people had no time to flee for their lives, so they had the kung fu to fight a siege war with themselves.

In addition, now in Xixian County, counting the 3,000 infantry soldiers brought by Ma Dai, the total number of infantry is already nearly 8,000, and the 3,000 cavalry led by Pang De is helping, even if the Qiang people have tens of thousands of troops to attack, it is more than enough to defend a Xixian County.

Zhang Xi originally judged it this way, but sometimes, the development of things is always so unexpected.

In the end, Xixian encountered the Qiang people, the large-scale Qiang people.

But. It's not Qiang soldiers, it's Qiang women and children.
