As the sun rises, so does the battlefield.

In the face of the rain of arrows, these Hun soldiers also had fear, the fear of death made them forget the fear of being oppressed by the Huns, or retreated, seeing that the army besieging the city in front of them had the idea of retreating, King Zuo Xian immediately stood up and said

"Let the Warlord Guard, anyone who dares to retreat be killed on the spot!"

Seeing the order given by King Zuo Xian, King Right Xian didn't feel the slightest, these soldiers besieging the city were slaves and not their knights, he didn't care about the life and death of these slaves, the slaves were gone, and if they were caught, they would be there again. Moreover, there are no slaves from him and the Zuoxian Wang tribe among the slaves besieging the city now. But the tribal chieftain, who had also been assigned to attack the city, stepped forward.

"His Royal Highness King Zuoxian, the Qin army's bows and crossbows are too powerful, let our soldiers withdraw, if we continue to fight like this, our losses will be too great." A tribal leader bent down and said.

Other tribal leaders also echoed, it has lasted for nearly half a day of siege warfare, the people who besieged the city are their men, the king of Zuo Xian and the king of right Xian can ignore the life and death of these people, but they can't, their tribe is not as good as King Zuo Xian and King Youxian, these slaves are their population and combat strength, and in the morning of the attack, they did not even succeed in climbing the city, let alone others.

If the siege suffered heavy losses this time, even if they succeeded in moving south, they would not be able to capture the other tribes.

"Don't forget Da Dan Yu's promise in front of Da Dan Yu, saying that you will take this city." King Youxian looked at these tribal leaders and said.

Thinking of the oath made to Da Shan Yu in the king's tent yesterday, the faces of several people became ugly, and King Zuo Xian looked at this scene and stood up and said

"Uncle, don't blame them, our army has suffered heavy losses in this half-day siege, and the soldiers are tired, it's time to eat soon, let them retreat first to rest and think about it, how about the siege after resting?"

These tribal leaders looked at King Zuo Xian and said good things for them, and they also echoed that it was not that they were worried about losses, but that they didn't want to make unnecessary losses, so that the soldiers could better attack the city by having enough to eat.

"Da Shan Yu has handed over the power of siege to you, you can decide." King Youxian said.

"In that case, order the withdrawal of troops." Zuo Xianwang said.

The herald on the side blew the horn of retreat, and the Hun soldiers who had eaten countless arrows were relieved and retreated towards the Huns' camp, and the defenders at the head of the city looked at the retreating Hun soldiers and were also relieved. Some of the archers rubbed their aching shoulders, they didn't know how many times they had stretched their bows today, and by this time nearly half of the arrows had been consumed by the pile of arrows on the city.

The guard looked at the soldiers who were paralyzed against the city wall and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Give the order to send the wounded and the soldiers who died in battle, replenish the arrows on the city, roll the wood and stones, and the siege will be more difficult in the afternoon." The Keeper said. The offensive in the morning looked very ferocious, but it was all a temptation, although the Huns suffered many casualties, but they did not waver at all, what was really difficult to do was the onslaught after the temptation.

"No!"

"What about the rest of the city?" Mamoru asked.

"Only our side has been attacked, and the other cities have not yet been attacked." Said the adjutant general.

"Let them also be more vigilant, no one can say anything about the afternoon. What about our casualties? The guard said.

"We haven't counted it yet, but we have enough manpower left to deal with it, and General Wang Ben's support should arrive soon."

As soon as the adjutant general's words fell, a soldier hurried up to the city and said to the guard

"General, General Wang Ben is here with reinforcements."

"Are you sure?" The Keeper asked excitedly.

"Yes, it's the soldiers of my Qin army, the black Xuanniao flag, the king's flag." The soldier said.

"Quickly open the back gate of the city and greet General Wang Ben with me." The Keeper said.

At this time, Wang Ben outside the border city was riding on a horse, looking at the closed city gate and waiting for the guard. As the city gate opened, Wang Ben led the army towards the city, and the guards waited for Wang Ben in the city with a team of personal guards.

Wang Ben walked into the city and saw the waiting guard turn over and dismount, and the guard also saluted Wang Ben and said

"The last general meets the general."

Although he also has the title of a general, there is a big gap between him and a general like Wang Ben who is in charge of the army of a county.

"General Chen, please, on the way I came, I heard that the Xiongnu were attacking the city, how is the situation?" Wang Ben asked.

"General, this is not the place to talk, please follow me to the palace." General Chen said.

"Okay, don't weakly cooperate with General Chen's lieutenant to arrange the soldiers." Wang Ben said to the faint face.

"No!"

The deputy general took the weak to arrange the soldiers, and Wang Ben followed Chen Shoujiang to the mansion, and on the way, Chen Shou General explained the general situation of the current border city to Wang Ben

"The people of the border city have evacuated after receiving the information that the Xiongnu are about to invade, and only the army and some people who volunteered to stay to assist the army to resist the Xiongnu are left in the entire border city, and only a few villages and towns have not evacuated, and now the main target of the Xiongnu is in the border city, and these places have not been reported to have been attacked."

"What about the casualties in the morning?"

"According to rough statistics, there are about 100 casualties, if it weren't for the fear of the Zhao army's attack, the walls of the border city would have been higher, and the number of casualties might have been higher."

"In this way, our army is sufficient." Wang Ben said that after the first 20,000 troops came to Fushi, they scattered to support the various border cities, and now there are 25,000 people in the border city where they are located, which is enough to wait for the arrival of the army, and if there is an accident, they can also let the army of Fushi support.

"Yes, the last general has received a letter from Xianyang, and the 200,000 army led by the Taiwei is heading towards us, counting the distance, as long as the army has passed these five or six days, it can be reached." Chen Shoujiang said.

"Let the soldiers be prepared, the offensive may be stronger in the afternoon, and it will not be so cold in the afternoon, and the Huns will be able to deploy it." Wang Ben said.

"I have already ordered, the arrows and rolling wood on the city have been replenished, and the firehead army has opened the stove for cooking." Chen Shoujiang said.

At this time, in the tent of the Xiongnu king, the king of Zuo Xian and the king of Youxian, as well as the tribal leaders responsible for the siege of the city, were all called by Touman.

"Why did you stop the siege!?" Touman asked, holding a short knife in his hand, looking at the people below.

"Back to Da Danyu, the siege just now was just a temptation, and when it is no longer so cold in the afternoon, it will be a brave attack by my Hun son." Zuo Xianwang said.

"I wish the king of the left and the king of the right and the leaders of the city invincible, and when the city is captured, you can take all the money, food, and prisoners." Touman said.

Without waiting for King Zuo Xian and King Right Xian to reply, the other tribal leaders scrambled to speak

"Thank you, Da Danyu."

"Thank you Da Dan Yu!" King Zuo Xian and King Right Xian said helplessly.

"Let's go down and prepare for the next siege, I'm here to wait for good news." Da Shan Yu said.

After King Zuo Xian and King Right Xian walked out of the royal tent, they did not leave with the other tribal leaders, but went towards King Zuoxian's camp.

"Uncle, you also saw Touman's attitude, right? In his eyes, he no longer had the brotherly oath of our wolf clan, and he, like those Central Plains people, began to attack his brother and uncle for power, land and women. Zuo Xianwang said.

The wolf clan's brother's oath was made by the ancestors of the wolf clan in order to strengthen the wolf clan, and the leaders of each generation of the wolf clan will let them make an oath in front of the wolf god when the children have the ability to go out to fight, swearing that no matter what happens in the future, the wolf clan will never be divided, and the person who becomes the leader cannot regard his brother as an enemy, and all brothers should be unanimous to the outside world, and the land they have laid down will be their own.

Looking at King Zuo Xian, who was full of heartache, King Right Xian kept sneering in his heart, how could he not know what his nephew thought, it was nothing more than wanting to win him over to deal with Touman. Originally, he was reluctant to participate, he was the loser of the previous generation of Shan Yu's competition, and he was destined to miss the position of Da Shan Yu, no matter who he helped, it would not be good for him.

But what Touman did in the Xiongnu royal court made him feel a sense of crisis, the Xiongnu royal court was composed of Touman's headquarters and two brother tribes together, in the face of his own brothers, Touman abolished them, so that his generals had their power emptied, and Touman was also ready to do something to other tribes around him, which made King Youxian feel dangerous.

Not only that, but it was very reasonable for Touman to abolish the power of his two brother tribes, so that the other tribes did not realize the danger at all, which was what made him feel the most terrible. The unjust ghost who doesn't want to die and doesn't understand, King Youxian knows that he must unite with King Zuoxian.

"Yes, both brothers were deposed, and although they were not killed, they lost their dignity and were imprisoned. This time, they want to force us to attack the city, isn't it just to consume our strength? King Youxian said in a low voice.

"If we capture the city, it's fine, if we don't, I'm afraid we will be punished for the crime of delaying the fighter plane and attacking the city, this Central Plains people are still interesting, in order to clear the enemy think of so many crimes." King Zuo Xian smiled self-deprecatingly.

After walking to the camp of King Zuoxian, King Right Xian stopped and said to King Zuoxian

"I know what you think, Touman has already begun to learn the way of the Central Plains, you don't have to learn anymore, I can support you, but you can't split the Huns, let alone think about overthrowing Touman's rule while he is alive. It is not easy for the Xiongnu to have today, if there is civil strife within us, the Hu people and the Central Plains will take action against us. ”

"Of course, what I do is for self-preservation, for Shan Yu's position, if Touman doesn't continue to encroach on my Zuoxian Wang's department, I naturally won't think about overthrowing him." King Zuo Xian's eyes flashed and he said.

"I believe in you, prepare well for the siege, if you don't take it, Touman won't be so easy to speak." King Youxian said.
