With Ma Shuo's consent, Qi Cheng immediately began to write a letter to shake people.

Boy!

When Ma Shuo saw the old man holding a large pile of bamboo slips, he suddenly realized that he still seemed to underestimate the former hussar general. At this time, the writing carrier was mainly bamboo slips, and a short letter required a lot of bamboo slips.

One person has a small roll, a lot of bamboo slips, and there must be a hundred or ten rolls.

Looking at this pile of bamboo slips, Ma Shuo suddenly realized that maybe he should have made the paper, otherwise, it would be too inconvenient.

Now that the letter is in place, the next thing is to send the letter. Sending a letter is naturally a matter of hidden guards. Although these recipients are not necessarily easy to find, with hidden guards, I believe that as long as it is not an extremely special situation, it is still possible to find the recipient.

The letter was delivered, and the next thing was to wait.

Still, there's a lot to do while waiting.

For example, siege!

The crowd of horses and horses, without encountering any obstacles along the way, reached the west of Hanoi County very easily. Along the way, the sights they saw made everyone feel very uncomfortable. The barbarians could not farm, and the once fertile Hexi Corridor was now barren everywhere, and the original farmland was overgrown with weeds, and no one went to collect the crops anymore.

The desolation added to the anger in the hearts of the people. This anger raised the morale of the soldiers to the extreme, and the fatigue of the march was even forgotten.

"Kill, kill!"

When they arrived at the county seat of Hanoi, although they did not immediately attack the city, the shouts of the soldiers made the barbarians in the city feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. The barbarians here already know what is happening in the military village.

Because, the fleeing barbarians have brought the news back to the city, and at the same time, they have brought back the feeling of panic. For this reason, the tribal leaders in the city were furious and directly cut off the heads of many deserters.

But even so, the panic is a foregone conclusion. It's just that those barbarians don't dare to show it for the time being. In fact, the most nervous are the leaders, because they already know Ma Shuo's attitude, ordinary clansmen can survive if they surrender, but the leaders will have their heads cut off if they surrender.

There are actually not many barbarians in Hanoi County, plus the old and weak women and children are only forty or fifty thousand, and the number of adult barbarians who can really fight is no more than 30,000. There is no way, who let this place be slaughtered by Bai Qi once!

Although the soldiers of the auxiliary Qin army moved a lot, they did not really attack the city, and after showing off their might, they withdrew one after another, and naturally raised their middle fingers in the direction of the barbarians when they left.

In the face of the provocation of the Qin people outside, the barbarians were naturally furious. However, those leaders knew very well that if they went out to fight each other now, they would definitely be the unlucky. Now they are not the same as when they knocked on the level.

Don't look at it, I only lived in the city for a short period of time, but this kind of life still has a great impact on the barbarians. It turns out that they are all nomads, constantly surviving in migration, in order to survive, natural selection, each of them has a strong sense of battle and combat effectiveness.

However, the short life in the city has weakened some people's sense of fighting. Especially the tribal leaders, who occupied the best resources after entering the city, naturally fell the fastest.

Many tribal leaders began to fear losing this comfortable life.

Therefore, even if some barbarians were very angry, these tribal leaders still did not agree to let people go out to pursue the Qin people below, and could only watch the other party provoke and then cultivate and leave.

"Qin Gou, I'm going to smash your skull!"

"Qin Gou, I'll dig out your hearts and livers and drink!"

In desperation, these barbarians could only vent their anger through abuse.

Regardless of the barbarians, after leaving the county town of Hanoi for some distance, the soldiers of the auxiliary Qin army chose a suitable place to set up camp. Rest first, and then talk about the siege. Besides, this time we have to wait for Li Mu's Pingxi Army.

Li Mu's speed naturally couldn't catch up with Ma Shuo. Li Mu didn't have a catapult in his hand, so he could only rely on hard-hitting means to break through the opponent's defenses. Although, in the end, Li Mu won the victory, but compared to Ma Shuo, his side still paid a lot.

In the end, Li Mu lost nearly 4,000 soldiers, and then he took the military village and opened the road. Of course, the barbarians guarding the fortress were almost all killed, and very few escaped. After breaking through the military village, Li Mu rested for a day, and then rushed towards the county seat of Hanoi.

In this way, when Li Mu arrived in Hanoi County, he was already one day later than Ma Shuo's people.

Although there were slight losses, there were still about 100,000 people on both sides. There are about 100,000 people and horses, and that feeling is still very imposing. When the barbarian soldiers at the head of the city saw what was happening outside the city, they all stayed there.

Some of the barbarians had already regretted it, and if only they had gone out to kill yesterday. Or, yesterday, when the other party hadn't come yet, how good it would be to evacuate here directly! Now, I'm afraid I can't go if I want to.

After Li Mu'an set up his tent, he immediately sent someone to get in touch with Ma Shuo, and the two sides agreed to formally attack the city at the next morning, one south and one north, and launch it together.

Li Mu postponed the siege by another day, mainly because his men and horses needed to adjust and rest. Therefore, Ma Shuo did not object to the time finalized by Li Mu. Taking advantage of this day, Ma Shuo can actually do a lot of things.

There are a lot of craftsmen in the baggage personnel, taking advantage of this time, using local materials, Ma Shuo has built some catapults, more of this thing is better than less, not to mention that some were lost before, and now it is urgent to replenish it.

Because the previous ones were assembled, although they were damaged, some of the parts could still be used, and the broken ones were dismantled and repaired, and a batch of related parts was reassembled.

By the time the new day began, the number of catapults that could be used had surpassed the previous one, reaching more than one hundred and twenty.

At the hour, the trumpet sounded.

The catapult appeared again, and was pushed by a group of auxiliary Qin troops towards the city wall of Hanoi County.

"Oh no, that magical weapon of the Qin people has appeared again!" When the barbarians who had seen the catapult in the military village saw it again, they immediately shouted in horror, and their voices were full of fear.

"Shut up, shout again, Lao Tzu chopped you!"

The little leader of the barbarians next to him immediately scolded sharply.
