Gucheng. Three days have passed, and at this time, the soldiers of the original Gucheng who were standing under the city tower have become more than 5,000 people.

There were 8,000 defenders in the city, and more than half of them surrendered at this time.

It was so cold that even though they could light a fire to keep warm, the cold wind that blew from time to time was a little unbearable.

If you can enter the city, relying on the protection of the city wall, even if the wind comes, it will be much weaker. In addition, half of the military rations he brought with him have already been eaten, and in such a confrontation, once there is no food, there is only one way left to retreat.

If you don't want to retreat, you can't retreat, who knows if after withdrawing this time, Gucheng will be prepared, and there will be no chance to capture here next time.

Uzhige did not want to return in vain, so after consulting with Hadan and Jeb, he decided to attack the city early this morning.

With more than 5,000 new troops available, and their morale is high, they are confident that they can capture the fortified city in the shortest possible time and complete the move to strengthen themselves.

Su Shi was not notified, and there was no intention to let Su Jiajun help in the war. Perhaps Urig also knew in his heart that Su Shi would not help them attack the city.

Just sent a team to keep an eye on the Su family army to prevent them from escaping. Then Uzhige ordered Jebu to be the general, and with more than 10,000 Mongolian soldiers, he set up a cloud ladder and began to attack Gucheng.

The weather was too cold, and it was a very difficult thing for both the offensive and defensive sides to fight in such weather.

When you feel cold in your hands while holding a sword, it is basically impossible to shake the earth when a war occurs, so at the beginning of the battle, the two sides are fighting and stopping.

In the fortified city, Baha's troops have become smaller, but the people who can stay are all people with a firm mentality, they may believe that reinforcements will come, and they still have hope; Or maybe their families are inside the city, and they are afraid that if they surrender to the strangers outside the city, Bahar will take out anger on their family. Or maybe it's for other reasons, but those who can stay anyway have a firm heart to defend the city.

Although they were smaller, they were more united, and their defensive focus made it much easier for Bahá to command them.

Everyone also worked hard to repel the besieging Yimeng again and again, even if the Yimeng soldiers entered the city tower by the cloud ladder a few times, they would still be killed by Baha's own guards, or driven down the city.

For two days, both the offensive and defensive sides paid a certain price, but the fortified city was still firmly in the hands of Baha, and there was no possibility of it changing hands in a short time.

Uzhige is not in a hurry, in this snowy climate, he still has time to continue to fight Baha, as long as there is no enemy reinforcement coming, he believes that the fortified city will be breached, and he will definitely become the new master here.

Uzhige thought that there were no reinforcements, and he still had a lot of time, but he didn't know that the original city, four hundred miles away, was gathering reinforcements at this time, ready to kill Gucheng at any time.

Two of them

After two days of running, the "lucky" Mongolian scouts finally came to the foot of the original city. In order to send the war report to the original city as soon as possible, the two have never rested, even in the long dark night, they are helping each other to hurry.

There was nothing to eat, and when they were hungry and thirsty, they ate a handful of snow, and after two days, the two of them were already physically and mentally exhausted to the extreme, not only that, but there were many frostbites all over the body.

When they came to the original city, the two of them were already dying. There were suddenly two more Mongolian soldiers under the city tower, and after being seen by the soldiers defending the city, they immediately put down the hanging blue basket and picked them up.

Carried into a warm room, under a first aid, the two finally came to their senses, and then the words of the next word startled the other Meng soldiers.

Gucheng was surrounded, and it was still the work of tens of thousands of strangers. The news was immediately sent to the head of the Mogva tribe in the city, Jigurv.

Giggulf was a man over seven feet tall, and he was having lunch when he heard the news.

But then both the mutton in his hand and the mare's milk wine on the small wooden table were kicked out by him.

After so many years as the patriarch of the Mogswan tribe, Gigulf has become a presence like a soil overlord, and he has almost forgotten what war is.

In his mind, even if there was a war, it could only be the Liao people watching them, and he never thought that there would be Mongolian people who were enemies of himself.

For the time being, it is not clear what the origin of these strange things is, but Jigulf only knows that the fortified city must be saved, otherwise, he will have no eastern barrier, and the original city will be on the front line of being attacked at any time.

The general Zidala was soon summoned to Gigurv, and first reported the situation of the battle, which made the general frown.

This news is very unexpected, the attack on Gucheng was not done by the Liao, but caused by Yimeng, so which Yimeng has such a strong strength and can bring out tens of thousands of troops to attack Gucheng?

Also, as a Mongolian, don't you know that winter is not suitable for war? At least not in Monti.

The heavy snow has blocked the roads, how difficult is it to walk in them, and this situation has started a war, are they crazy?

There are still many questions in his mind, but Jigurv will not give him time to think about it, but asks anxiously,

"Gucheng must be saved, you see how many people are needed, and how long will it take to get to Gucheng?" If it's summer, Zidala will certainly lead as many troops as possible, and the better the chances of winning.

But now it is already the depths of winter, and the road is difficult to travel, and if you continue to lead the army, it will only delay the speed of the march.

Zidara is a person who knows the soldiers, and after thinking about it for a while, he gave an answer,

"Patriarch, I only need to take four thousand horses, one person and two horses, and then I can set off immediately. As for reaching Gucheng, if there is no one to stop or ambush, it can be reached in four days. ”

"Four days? Can't it be any faster? Gigurv seems a little unhappy with the result.

If it is placed in the summer, four hundred miles away, and most of it is a grassland land, and the cavalry can arrive in more than a day under one person and two horses, and now it is more than twice as long, so it is no wonder that Gegurv will be a little dissatisfied.

"Patriarch, it can't be faster. So many days have passed since the siege of Gucheng, and no one knows what the situation is? If we have already been taken down by the Aliens, and then they ambush reinforcements on the way, we can easily fall into their trap if we rush too fast and rush in, in which case the gains outweigh the losses. Listening to Zidara's answer, Gilguv wanted to say that the fortified city would not be breached so quickly, and General Baha also had some ability.

But these words were just swirling in the throat, and they were still not spoken. War, that is the most perverted.

If you don't get it right, the side that was originally in the upper hand may be defeated. It's something that no one can say.

Anyone who predicts a war 400 miles away without any basis is irresponsible.

If Gucheng was really breached by Yimeng, in such weather, no amount of reinforcements sent would be useless.

And if this is the case, Zidara's reinforcements will be hit hard, it will be really fatal, and it will hurt the morale and confidence of the Mongolian army, which is very bad.

Thinking that if Gucheng was really lost, then it would no longer be able to lose the morale of the army, although Jigurv was anxious, he had to agree with this statement.

"Okay, that's the case, you can order 4,000 cavalry to go to Gucheng now, as fast as you can, of course, if it is unviolable, withdraw immediately, you can't have anything else." After getting the patriarch's permission, Zidala finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, he put his right hand on his chest and saluted: "Please rest assured, as long as the solid city is not captured, I will definitely stabilize my position and send someone back to deliver the letter." This sentence also represents another meaning, if the fortified city has been captured, then there is nothing he can do.

"Okay, you work harder, let's leave in the afternoon." Gigurv also knew that the situation was like this, and he could not ask for anything.

Fighting a war is not a fighting spirit, and you can't make a decision in a hurry, that is really irresponsible. Zidara did have some ability, and under his call, it only took an hour for four thousand elite horsemen to be gathered and ready to go.

Jigurv also quickly sent people to send ten days of food and equipment to the army. Before it got dark, the four thousand horsemen left the original city and went straight to the direction of Gucheng.

As soon as Zidara left the city here, the scouts of the Su family army who were ambushed outside the original city reported the news to Su Shi'er through Wanlitong.

"Keep an eye on the horses, especially how many miles they can travel in a day." Facing Wanlitong, Su Shi commanded.

Everything was going according to the plan he had made, and now he only needed to know the speed of his march to think about when he was going to strike.

Su Shi, who could leave, did not leave immediately, in addition to thinking about the gold and silver in the solid city, the most important reason was that he wanted to watch the Kaqi tribe and Mo Ge lose their troops into an endless situation.

It is not a good thing for a family to be dominant, without competition, the fighting spirit will slowly decay, not to mention, too peaceful environment, it will only make the population of the Mongolian people more and more, and eventually the strength will become bigger and bigger, and the day it really breaks out, it will be like a tiger descending from the mountain, no one can stop it.

It is because the life of the Mongolian people is too peaceful, and it will also make the Liao people lose their vigilance. When one day, they find that their little pets are disobedient, and they want to do it again but find that they are not opponents, then it is really too late.

What Su Shi has to do is to let the Mongolian people constantly fight among themselves and consume their strength. What Su Shi has to do is to let the Liao people see clearly that this is simply an ambitious nation, and it cannot be an obedient lamb all the time.

Now, with his own help, Uzhige's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. Once the fortified city is captured, it will be equivalent to indirectly having the strength to fight with Mo Ge's lost troops, and then there will be no worries that the life of the people will become peaceful.

The alternation of the old and new wolf kings will always lead to a bloody storm, right? And in order to help the new wolf king have the determination to fight the old wolf king, what Su Shi needs to do is to help Urig completely capture the solid city.

I've worked so hard, so it's right to take some benefits from it.

"Inform the Class A guards and the Black Rider, take a good rest, and then get ready to work." Su Shi's voice slowly came out of his mouth, and after Lou Yang agreed, he quickly retreated.
