The encounter was just an appetizer, and it was clear that the Hu did not do their best, and after half an hour of fighting, the whole army began to retreat.

"Mingjin retreats!"

The Liang army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but suspended the offensive, reorganized the troops and horses, and left only a group of logistics to rescue the wounded, while the main force continued to advance.

An hour later, Chitong City came into view, the front of the city was full of deer thorns and thistles, the city gate was repaired with iron gates, and the Hu soldiers occupied the moats, like a defensive posture.

"General Chachai, long time no see!" Song Che smiled and waved in greeting.

"Whoosh ......"

Even though the city wall responded with a few flying arrows, it was cut off by Jiang Yuntian's sword qi, and then the wall scolded:

"The surname Song, I knew that I should have smashed your head with one palm!"

"Hahaha......"

It is rare to win a battle, of course, you have to mock it, Song Che raised his head and laughed: "If I killed you when I was in Jinling, you are not qualified to bark in front of me now...... What shouldn't have happened at the beginning, it will happen at this moment, in my opinion, it is better to let go of the past grievances, you open the city and surrender, I can also play the emperor and make you a general! ”

"Ungrateful things, you fart less!" Chachai's words changed sharply, and shouted at Jiang Yuntian and the others:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this little white face in front of your battle, in the past, in our capital, not only married a princess, but also helped us build the city wall...... He's a two-faced traitor, don't trust him! ”

"Song Che, you ...... Did you really marry the princess of their Hu Kingdom? Ning Yehong grabbed Song Che's arm and asked.

Song Che was bitter: "I was a captive at the time, even if they asked me to marry a sow, I couldn't help it." ”

Lin Yue pouted: "We were worried that you would have to die, but I didn't expect you to be as free as Hu Guo!" ”

"It has to be Brother Song, I have eaten the soft method to Hu Guo, it is powerful enough!" Jiang Yuntian gave a thumbs up, and asked the soldiers behind the formation loudly:

"Brothers, the princess of this Hu country has been hugged to bed by our military division, you say, is our military division a good ability? Come on, come on, shout with me: 'Bai Junshi, good skills, marry Hu Niu, raise the prestige of the country', prepare ...... Shout! ”

"Bai Junshi, good skills, marry Hu Niu, and raise the prestige of the country!"

The whole army shouted in unison, and those Hu people who couldn't understand the official language were okay, and everyone who could understand was so angry that they blushed and trembled.

"Isn't it infuriating? Get angry and go out of the city and face the general! Jiang Yuntianjian pointed at Chachai and provoked loudly: "I heard that you bullied my brother and threatened to kill me on the battlefield, Lao Tzu will give you a chance today, you dare to come down and fight with me!" ”

Chachai angrily hammered the city wall, and turned to fight, but the adjutant on the side held him down, and he didn't know what to whisper.

"How? Are men tall but timid as rats? Hu rats, shrunken turtles? Get out of the city and die! Jiang Yuntian provoked again.

"Hu rats! Shrinking turtle! ”

"Hu rats! Shrinking turtle! ”

The whole army scolds!

"Ahhh......h You wait for me! You're waiting for me! ”

It seems that they are determined to defend the city.

Song Che stopped the insult and beckoned, and the three cannons were pushed to the front of the formation and bombarded the city gate, but it was obvious that the city gate had been reinforced, and the cannonballs could not blast it open.

Song Che called to stop the artillery fire, this time it was just a tentative attack, the enemy insisted on defending the city, it was difficult to attack it, and he had to find another good way to break the city.

"Retreat."

The Liang army retreated twenty miles, set up outposts at ten miles, fifteen miles and twenty miles, and set up three large camps on the left, middle and right, and confronted Chitong City across the plain.

In addition to defending Chitong City, the enemy army also set up a camp in the northeast to prevent the Liang army from attacking the city from the right flank, while the left flank of Chitong was the raging and tumbling Liang River, and the opposite bank of the Liang River was a raised hilly area......

As long as the enemy army does not take the initiative to attack, it is difficult for the Liang army to break through the city even if it has artillery, and the air flow on the prairie is generally northeasterly, and the hot air balloon bombing must be westerly to achieve.

After the Liang army camped outside the city, every other hour, they would fire several rounds of artillery into the city, even if they could not cause casualties, they would not sleep well, and then, twice in the morning and evening, they would take turns to scold under the city, from the ancestors to the ancestors of the eighteenth generation, and then from the eighteenth generation to the generation......

In recent years, the Hu people have been almost invincible, they have never suffered such humiliation, and they can endure the abuse, and Song Che also felt very surprised.

"Boom ......"

In mid-February, thunder and lightning poured down.

After this spring rain, the grassland will be completely revived.

"It seems that this rainstorm will not stop for four or five days, there is too much rain, and the artillery can't be fired, so it is not a way to continue like this." Jiang Yuntian sat behind the coffee table, looking at the heavy rain outside the tent and couldn't bear to be melancholy.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge," Song Che picked up the teapot on the stove, made a cup of hot tea for Jiang Yuntian, and gently pushed it over, "If the sky is not beautiful, no one can rush to come." ”

Jiang Yuntian shook his head and pushed the tea back impatiently, "It's been almost half a month, and if you don't move anymore, don't say that the gunpowder is damp, or your body will be rusty like a weapon...... The upper and lower roads are also in the same situation as ours, they are all resisted by the Hu people, and they do not move forward an inch, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers eat horses and chew horses, as the attacking side, isn't it a disguised failure? ”

The more he talked, the more eager he became, wanting to go out to see if the rain had lightened, but he had just opened the door of the tent, and a "bang......" splashed him all over his face, and a large puddle of water had accumulated in front of the tent, so that he could not get his feet.

"Left and right!"

"General...... What are the commands? ”

"Look what this is!" Jiang Yuntian pointed to the beach at the door and scolded angrily, "Do you want Lao Tzu to paddle inside?" ”

The left and right guards said bitterly: "General, we only cleaned it up a quarter of an hour ago, but the rain is too heavy, and the rain falls on your tent, dripping down like a waterfall, and we can't stop it......"

"How dare you complain! If you can't drain the water, won't you fill it up? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you up! Jiang Yuntian raised his fist, pitifully left and right, the general was angry.

The guards on the left and right are dumb and eat coptis, and they can't speak of hardship.

"Okay, okay, it's not to blame them, if you want to blame God, the kidneys can't be blamed, frequent urination, urgency, and inexhaustible urination." Song Che walked over with a smile and said to the two of them: "You find a group of people to go to the river to transport some sand and gravel back, and fill in the pit if there is one, it is better than getting wet with one foot and getting your shoes wet." ”

Left and right: "No, military advisor, you often don't know in the barracks, it has rained heavily in recent days, and the Lianghe River has flooded fiercely, and if you dig sand and gravel again, if the embankment breaks, the water will overflow!" ”

"Oh?"

Song Che squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he dragged Jiang Yuntian out of the big tent:

"Let's go, let's go to the river and have a look, maybe we can find a way to break the city!"
