Compared with the lively Shanggu County and the upcoming Yuyang County, Yunzhong County at this time is much cleaner.

At this time, the defenders of Yunzhong County had been exhausted by the frequent movements of the grassland tribesmen's cavalry in the past two days.

However, earlier today, they suddenly found that the grassland cavalry outside the city had been mobilized on a large scale, and they had no choice but to transfer a large number of reinforcements to Shanggu County again.

At this time, the remaining part of the defenders was confronting the cavalry of the steppe tribes outside the city.

Seeing that it was about to rain in the sky, the remaining cavalry of the grassland tribe suddenly gathered outside the city pass, making a posture of being about to attack.

For this reason, the defenders in the city were in strict formation, but it had been almost two hours, and the cavalry of the steppe had only pressed the battle line out of the range of the trebuchets at the head of the city and had not moved.

They neither attacked nor retreated, but rode on their horses and watched.

Xu Yunting, the guard of Yunzhong County, was worried.

He wasn't worried that Yunzhong County would be attacked, after all, the remaining strength of the grassland tribe outside the city would not exceed 30,000 at this time.

In the face of the high city and deep pool of the county town in the clouds and the defenders of tens of thousands of people, the grassland tribe basically has no hope of conquering.

So the target he was worried about was the Shanggu County next door, compared with the impregnable Yunzhong County, Shanggu County's city defense at this time is estimated to be struggling.

Originally, there were only 60,000 grassland tribes attacking, but now Yunzhong County has transferred two-thirds of the people at once, so you can imagine the current pressure on Shanggu County.

But fortunately, he sent reinforcements as soon as he found out that the steppe tribe had mobilized cavalry.

Based on the distance between the two counties, these reinforcements should have arrived in Upper Valley three hours after the arrival of the steppe cavalry.

In other words, as long as Shanggu County can hold out for three hours under the attack of the grassland tribe, Shanggu County can basically guarantee safety.

At this time, in the big tent of the grassland tribe and the army outside Yunzhong County, Baye Gule was lying comfortably on a fox fur with a wine glass.

"Baye Gule, at this time, the soldiers and horses led by the Gaoche King Hu Rhythm Fu should have arrived in Yuyang County, right?"

The expression of the Great Khan of the Wei Chamber, Basud, was not as relaxed as that of Baye Gule.

"According to the horse's footsteps, they should have already begun to attack Yuyang County, after all, this rain cloud is floating from the northeast, but it will rain on their side first."

Baye Gule drained the mare's milk wine from the cup, and gestured to a maid beside him.

The maid immediately stooped down and filled his glass.

"We've done everything the shaman has arranged for us, and it's time for us to do what we want. Do you think that if Yuyang County is conquered, we will continue to stay here to contain the defenders of Yunzhong County, or will we go to Shanggu County to assist them in attacking the city? ”

Basud was a little uncertain about this.

"Sometimes, I still prefer Dayu's culture, after all, sometimes their culture is very concise and to the point, and sometimes it can express very profound truths in just a few words, such as watching the changes and sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight."

Baye Gule did not go directly back to the question of Basud.

"You mean we continue to stay here to contain the Dayu defenders of Yunzhong County?"

Basud put down the dagger in his hand and put the forked roast back on the plate.

"But in this way, we have nothing to do to attack Yuyang, and we have nothing to do with attacking Shanggu County, so when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, won't we have no merit at all?"

Basud thought about it, but still felt that there was something wrong with Baye Gule's approach.

"Who told you we don't have credit?"

Baye Gule is still lying there with the old god on the ground.

"The leaders of those steppe tribes are not blind, the two of us stayed outside this Yunzhong County and did nothing, where did the credit come from?"

Basud was a little dissatisfied, he felt that this Baye Gule always spoke in a roundabout way, and learned the ways of those cunning Dayu people to the fullest.

"Okay, I'll make it clear to you, first of all, it is a credit for us to stay outside the Yunzhong County City, because we have pinned down the tens of thousands of defenders in the Yunzhong County City. This is tantamount to relieving a lot of pressure from the attack on Upper Valley County. ”

Baye Gule sat up and handed the wine glass in his hand to the maid beside him.

"Secondly, the fact that the two of us did not participate in the attack does not mean that the warriors of our tribe did not participate in the battle, we are the Great Khan of our respective tribes, and the credit of the tribal warriors is also our credit."

After Baye Gule finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, ready to find a place to make it easier.

"No wonder when arranging to support Shanggu County and Yuyang County, you asked for half of the total number of warriors of your Wuhu clan, at that time I thought you were righteous, afraid that our Wei Room and Gaoche would lose too much, it turns out that you have already thought of sharing the credit."

Basud stood up suddenly, and looked at Baye Gule who was staggering out, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

"What a cunning fox you are!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Baye Gule replied disapprovingly, and he didn't look back.

Yuyang County

At this time, the sky outside Yuyang County has completely turned black, and the entire Yuyang County City has fallen into darkness.

Looking north from the top of the city, the whole grassland seemed to be swallowed up by darkness, but looking inside the city, you could see the sporadic lights flickering weakly in the darkness.

The lights are faint and sparse, like the glow of fireflies on a summer day.

In comparison, the head of Yuyang County is much brighter.

Fires are lit every few meters above the city, and these are covered with simple canopies.

But even so, these fires are still bright and extinguished under the wind and rain.

The soldiers at the head of the city all relied on the firelight to carefully observe the dark grassland.

They knew that the soldiers of the current steppe tribe must be sneaking quickly in the darkness at this moment.

The 3,000 soldiers defending the city knew that they were going to attack Yuyang County tonight, so they could react earlier if they discovered the grassland tribe earlier.

Waiting is always unbearable, only when they find each other their hanging hearts can settle down, even if the soldiers of the steppe tribe far exceed their expectations, it is better than this unknown wait.

While the soldiers defending the city of Dayu were still anxiously looking for the traces of the grassland tribe, the cavalry of the grassland tribe was rushing in the darkness at the moment.

The raindrops, which were not very heavy, began to gradually become heavier over time.

Now they were faced with a torrential rain, and the speed of the horses rushing forward caused all the raindrops that had fallen on them to hit their faces.

The rain crackled on the face, making it feel like a slap in the face, and the icy rain quickly made the cavalrymen feel their faces numb from the cold.

But even so, they kept whipping the horses under them, and the horses that were suffering from pain kept accelerating.

The reason why the cavalry of the grassland tribe accelerated so desperately was entirely because although the heavy rain at this time could shelter them from attacking the city pass of Dayu, once the same rain completely soaked the land, the impact speed of their cavalry would be greatly reduced.

To make matters worse, it was difficult for the bulky siege engines and ladders to be dragged out of the city.

That's why they have to race against time and strive to arrive outside the city gate of Yuyang County as soon as possible.

Although the surrounding sky has completely darkened, there are many bonfires lit up at the head of Yuyang County.

The cavalry of the steppe tribe only had to find the direction of the campfire and keep moving forward.

As they were advancing rapidly, the firelight in the distance, which was originally the size of a spark, was rapidly expanding, and soon they were approaching the city pass of Yuyang County.

In their field of vision, they could also see clearly where the city gate of Yuyang County was.

The knights who were running at the front did not slow down, they kept urging their horses to charge forward.

Behind them were several siege engines and dozens of ladders.

Due to the soaking of rain, the land outside Yuyang County had begun to become soft at this time, and the war horses galloped by, and these soft soil suddenly turned into mud.

But fortunately, they were fast enough, and these siege engines and ladders were dragged out by the horses before they could sink down.

At this time, siege engines and ladders were like climbing plows used by the steppe tribes to speed over the muddy water.

With the appearance of the cavalry of the grassland tribe, the sound of a rapid gong immediately came from the head of Dayu City.

The soldiers in the city head and urn city knew for the first time that the cavalry of the steppe tribe was really coming to attack the city.

The atmosphere that was still relatively oppressive immediately became tense.

All the soldiers clenched their weapons tightly, and many of them moved their stiff bodies that were about to freeze.

Originally, many high-ranking military officials were still doubting whether Li Yi's inference was correct, but now they understood that tonight's battle would definitely be inevitable.

But it's a good thing, it's a good thing that the enemy's plan is expected in advance, after all, you can make relative preparations.

When the group of steppe cavalry that rushed to the front completely appeared in everyone's field of vision, there was still no sign of slowing down.

The guards at the head of the city were praying that these damn creatures would not have time to turn around and crash to death on the walls.

However, this is just the imagination of the soldiers of the Great Yu, the cavalry of the grassland tribe all grew up on horseback, and their control of war horses is basically the same as controlling their own bodies.

Seeing that the cavalry of these steppe tribes was less than fifty meters away from the city wall, they immediately pulled the reins of their horses, and the war horses that rushed forward immediately stood up, and then turned their horses' heads, and the war horses immediately turned around and rushed towards both sides of the city wall.

As soon as the horses turned around, the cavalry on horseback swung their swords to cut off the long ropes that were pulling the siege vehicles and ladders behind them.

And these siege vehicles and ladders still rushed in the direction of the city wall by inertia.

The defenders of Dayu in the city could only stare dryly when they saw the siege vehicles and ladders sliding rapidly towards the city walls.

In the past, these bulky siege engines and ladders would quickly be burned down by pouring them from above and then lighting the oil.

But now, because of the weather, they can only watch the siege engines and ladders approach the city walls.

As siege engines and ladders were dragged under the city walls by their horses, a large number of steppe cavalry emerged from the darkness.

Looking at the steppe cavalry that continued to emerge from the darkness, the three thousand soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but widen their eyes and then subconsciously swallowed their non-existent saliva.

They all gripped their spears a little tighter.

"Today, we are here to defend the city, the city is in the people, the city is broken, and the people are dead!"

Suddenly, a deep roar came from the city.

All the soldiers turned their heads to look, only to see that General Long had already removed the sleeves of his robe at this time, revealing his left arm.

Then he took two stout drumsticks from Song Shilong's hands, and then walked to the tower directly above the city gate.

In the middle of this tower is a huge war drum with a diameter of two or three meters.

The sound of "rumbling" war drums spread from the city tower as the drumsticks of General Long fell.

Even the steppe cavalry who were hiding in the darkness could hear it clearly.

When the guards on the city wall heard the sound of these war drums, their original nervousness was immediately swept away.

Their hearts beat to the dull and powerful beat of the drums, and the blood that burst from the bottom of their hearts quickly flowed through their bodies.

The momentum on their bodies also rose instantly.

"Come on! You damn guys aren't going to come up and die! ”

The blood of the soldier was stimulated by the drums, and he couldn't help but roar angrily towards the city.

The steppe soldiers outside the city were not affected by the war drums in the slightest, and they still looked at the shouting soldiers in the city with indifferent eyes.

In their opinion, these guys in the city at this time will soon become the ghosts of their own swords.

Therefore, there is no need to care about their current clamour, after all, can the sheep not be allowed to cry twice before slaughtering?

When a large number of grassland cavalry gathered outside the city of Yuyang County, they quickly changed their formation, and the cavalry in front immediately spread out to both sides, revealing a passage for the grassland cavalry behind.

Then a large number of steppe cavalry jumped off their horses, and then brandished their long knives and rushed towards the gate of Yuyang County.

Looking at the dense grassland tribes that were pouring towards him like a tide, the three thousand soldiers on the city wall immediately ran to their defensive positions according to the original plan.

And the six thousand soldiers in the urn city also clenched their weapons and waited for them.

Looking at the soldiers who were pouring towards the city wall of Yuyang County like a tide, Hu Lvfu's heart, as the commander of the siege operation, fluctuated.

This time, Muhua Li Falcon chose him as the commander of the first battle, which can be regarded as giving them an excellent opportunity to perform in the high car.

This was also the opportunity he had always dreamed of, so he secretly vowed in his heart that he must firmly grasp this opportunity.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why Muhua Li Falcon chose him as the commander of the first stop this time was entirely because their Gaoche clan was the weakest among the eight major tribes.

And in order to balance the power of the eight major clans after the war, the young shaman must choose the weakest Gaoche clan as an example of commendation.

Seeing that the group of grassland tribe soldiers who rushed to the front had already begun to push the siege carts and ladders towards the city walls and gates of Yuyang County, Hu Rhythm Fu waved his hand to the cavalry beside him.

Then the cavalryman took out a horn from his waist and whined.

In the darkness, there was an orderly shout, and with the shouting, the grassland soldiers patted the neat team and began to slowly press towards the direction of Yuyang County.
