"Shanzi, let the brothers work harder, these stones must be moved to the city today."

"Uncle Chen, these woods must be made the best today, and I will find some brothers to send them to the city wall overnight."

"President Ma, thank you for your hard work, your tung oil was delivered in a timely manner, and when these Beiban pigs come, we will give him a roast whole pig."

Before sending troops to Yunshan Pass to snatch the grain and baggage of the Northern Barbarians and bring back the surviving people in the counties of Yingzhou, the upper echelons of the Fierce Eagle Army expected that the retaliation of the Northern Barbarians would definitely follow, so as soon as the army returned to the three counties under its control, it began to make intensive preparations.

All the soldiers of the Eagle Army took action, prepared all kinds of materials to defend the city, and conducted various tactical training before the battle. Even those ordinary people took action, hearing that boiling water could come in handy, and many families even moved their own pots to the city walls.

The atrocities of the Northern Barbarians in the five counties of Yingzhou Prefecture were deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone, and all the people knew that once the Yunshan Pass was breached, they would follow in the footsteps of the people of the five counties. In this case, everyone does not need to mobilize at all, and everyone is willing to go all out in order to save their own lives and their families' lives, and protect the family's wealth accumulated over the years.

Although the Fierce Eagle Army had already prepared, when they saw a black and oppressive piece of Northern Barbarians appear under the Cloud Mountain View. Everyone was still a little scared and nervous, and the brutality of the Northern Barbarians had left a deep mark on their hearts.

"You are Ye Ying?" Heihan Mugu stood at the foot of Yunshan Pass, and when he saw a young man who was not very strong at the invitation of himself, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"I'm Ye Ying, the Northern Barbarian King led the army to my Yunshan Pass, shouldn't I have come to make friends!" Seeing the tens of thousands of northern barbarian soldiers under the city wall, Ye Ying said loudly that he intended to use this indifferent attitude to give his soldiers confidence and courage.

"Your father Ye Fei is a hero, and this king admires him very much, but he was loyal to Ning Guo, but he was killed by the Ning State court. This king's army this time is to avenge your father, why are you blocking the way of my Northern Barbarian army? "What Heihan Mugu said was sincere, as if he was really friends with Ye Fei.

"I also admire the Northern Barbarian King!" Hearing Heihan Mugu's words, Ye Ying at the head of the city said with a laugh.

"Oh, you also admire this king, then it is better to lead your soldiers to submit to the northern barbarians, how about I make you a general of the southern expedition, let's kill Jinling together and avenge your father." Hearing Ye Ying say this, Heihan Mugu immediately said.

"I admire that the Northern Barbarian King is thick-skinned enough, and he obviously wants to invade my Daning land and slaughter my Daning people, but he still says it so high-sounding." Ye Ying's words made all the generals of the Fierce Eagle Army on the side couldn't help laughing, and their nervousness was also relieved a lot.

"Arrogant boy, you have succeeded in angering this king, and soon you will regret your words." Seeing that he was actually played as a monkey, Heihan Mugu's face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, since he couldn't persuade him to surrender, he didn't want to say anything more, and immediately ordered the Northern Barbarian soldiers to forcibly attack the city.

This time to send troops to Daning, Heihan Mugu has made careful preparations, he has already prepared a lot of siege equipment, seeing that Ye Ying is unwilling to surrender, he waved his big hand, and a team of soldiers pushed these things out.

Standing on the city wall, the field of vision was relatively broad, and from a distance, Ye Ying and the others found many large siege equipment with Heihan wooden bones placed in the rear of the army. Seeing these siege weapons, Ye Ying couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, it seems that this bone is bound to win against Yunshan Pass, and this time defending the city will fall into a bitter battle.

There were high-ranking men under Heihan Mugu, and they made his soldiers stand far away from the attack range of the Eagle Army soldiers on the city wall, and then he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately pushed out dozens of strangely shaped carts, and on the carts, there were some stones as big as a millstone.

"Catapults! The Northern Barbarians actually pushed this thing here too, leaving the brothers to hide behind the battlements. These catapults are very powerful. The stones they throw are larger and farther away than ordinary catapults, and their crosshairs are relatively high. Zhuge Ying has a lot of experience in the production of these instruments, and when he saw it, he knew that these catapults were extraordinary.

As soon as the soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army hid according to Zhuge Ying's order, stones flew out of the catapult under the city and smashed straight towards the city wall.

Fortunately, the Eagle soldiers on the city wall were prepared. Relying on some of the defenses on the city walls. The boulders were evaded, and only a small number of unlucky soldiers were hit by the flying stones. But under the onslaught of these boulders. The stomping that was used to block the opponent's bow and arrow above the head of the city was thumped by the opponent's boulders, and there were even some unstable places, and the city bricks were smashed and fell under the city walls.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army were smashed at the head of the city, Heihan Mugu didn't even dare to stick out his head, so with an order, countless cavalry rushed towards the city wall. But the strange thing is that Ye Ying and the others in the city not only did not rush when they saw the other party's cavalry attacking, but they also showed a smile on their faces.

Soon after, the neighing of horses was heard from among the cavalrymen. There were quite a few war horses, and the knights on horseback fell to the ground, neighing in pain.

"The guy from Heihan Mugu, he didn't know that we prepared thistle this time, and now he has suffered a big loss!" Zhuge Ying stood at the head of the city with a smug smile on his face. The Falcon soldiers on the side also rejoiced when they saw that the enemy had suffered a loss.

This thistle terrestris was made by Zhuge Ying after the Eagle Army occupied the three counties of Yingzhou, and asked the craftsmen to create it, which is a good thing to deal with the enemy cavalry.

Ye Ying's soldiers sprinkled these thistles on the open space outside the city, and sprinkled mud or grass residue as a camouflage, and the northern barbarians, who were not psychologically prepared, really suffered a big loss.

The war horses of these Northern Barbarian soldiers stepped on the iron thistle, and the soles of their feet were immediately penetrated, and even the iron horseshoes had gaps in between, and the iron thorns on the thistles could easily pierce in.

Seeing many horses falling on the battlefield and letting out a terrible roar, Heihan Mugu knew that there was something strange on the ground, and he was furious. But it didn't work, so he had to give orders to let the remaining cavalry return the same way.

Seeing the thistle brought back by his soldiers, Heihan Mugu had a headache. Because of these things hidden in the dirt, it was difficult for the Northern Barbarian soldiers to carry out the attack smoothly. In desperation, Heihan Mugu had no choice but to send soldiers to search the ground little by little, trying to remove all the thistles hidden in the soil.

However, how could the soldiers of the Eagle Army on the city wall let them get their wish? With the help of the city walls, they held bows and arrows and shot at the Northern Barbarian soldiers searching for thistles under the city.

Harassed by the soldiers of the Eagle Army on the city wall, the Northern Barbarian soldiers could not seriously search for thistles on the ground. After losing some of their men, they began to retreat to the rear, out of range of the Dafu soldiers' bows.

Before the soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army on Yunshan Pass could breathe a sigh of relief, the Chu soldiers in front of them suddenly dispersed to both sides, and strange carts were pushed out from the rear of the Northern Barbarian Army. And in front of these carts, there is a huge wooden plank.

Heihan Mugu gave an order, and the Northern Barbarian soldiers followed behind the strange chariots, and the arrows shot by the soldiers of the Eagle Army on the city wall were all blocked by the huge wooden planks on the carts. Without the harassment of the eagle soldiers' bows and arrows, the Northern Barbarian soldiers in the rear could concentrate on searching for the thistles hidden in the soil.

"This thing is called a wooden curtain, and it is specially used to deal with bows and arrows on the city walls. With the help of this thing, when the Northern Barbarian army attacked the surrounding cities, it could greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers. Zhuge Ying stood beside Ye Ying and said to him.

With the protection of this wooden curtain, the Northern Barbarian soldiers could safely search for the thistles hidden on the ground by the soldiers of the Eagle Army, but these thistles were relatively large in number and relatively small in size, hiding in the dirt and grass, and were difficult to find.

It took several hours for the Northern Barbarian soldiers to finally remove these thistles from the ground. However, the time of the day had almost been consumed, and after several attempts to attack, seeing that it was getting late, Heihan Mugu ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, ending the siege of the first day.

On the first day of the siege, there was basically no direct contact between the soldiers on both sides, so there were almost no casualties among the soldiers on both sides. But the Eagles know that this is just a small appetizer, and the brutal offensive and defensive battle is still to come.

In the evening, the northern barbarians did not attack the city again. Ye Ying took Zhuge Ying, Chen Gang and others to inspect the city wall. See if there's anything you haven't thought about, and at the same time talk to some of the soldiers to relieve the pressure on their hearts.

There was nothing to say all night, and as soon as the next day dawned, the anxious Heihan Mugu couldn't wait to give the order to let the Northern Barbarian soldiers start attacking the city.

As there were no thistles on the ground, several wooden carts blocked the arrows from the walls. Therefore, the Northern Barbarian soldiers advanced very quickly, and soon arrived not far from the city wall of Yunshan Pass.

But here, the Northern Barbarian soldiers had to stop, because not far from the Yunshan Pass city wall, there was a moat river about twenty or thirty meters wide and two or three meters deep. This was specially excavated by the Fierce Eagle Army after occupying Yunshan Pass.

The river is not very wide, but it is not entirely accurate to say that it is a river, because there is no water in it. But in the middle of the river there were many sharpened sticks, the tips of which were pointed upwards, and if a soldier fell into them, there was little chance of survival.

With the help of the cover of the wooden mantle cart, these Northern Barbarian soldiers quickly came to the side of the moat, but because their view was blocked by the tall wooden mantle cart, they could not see the situation in front clearly. The soldiers in front stopped their footsteps by the river. However, the soldiers in the rear, who had not received an order to stop their advance, were still crowding forward. Soon, there were Northern Barbarian soldiers in front of them who were squeezed into the moat river, and were directly penetrated by the sharp wood in the river, and let out a terrible cry in the river.

At this time, the catapult on the wall of Yunshan Pass also began to throw stones into the city. The wooden curtain cart of the Northern Barbarians, the planks on it can block the bows and arrows fired by the soldiers. But in front of these huge stones, they looked a little vulnerable.

The planks on these wooden carts were soon smashed by the boulders flying from the city's head, and they lost their ability to defend. There were also many Northern Barbarian soldiers who had no time to dodge and were hit by these boulders, and some of them broke their hands and feet, and they died on the spot.

At this time, the fierceness of the northern barbarians was fully revealed, and they were not intimidated by these catapults, but under the command of generals at all levels, they threw bags of sand and mud into the moat. There were even people who threw the bodies of the dead Northern Barbarian soldiers into the moat.
