With the destruction of Weiyang City, the Hun soldiers who were already a little impatient to continue to stay in the Great Song Dynasty were not only replenished with supplies, but also a great boost to their spirits.

If the big city can't be breached, you can attack the small city first.

In the following month, the Xiongnu army attacked everywhere, and soon swept away the rest of the cities in the land east of the river that had been invaded, and these cities were isolated and helpless, and they could not resist the Xiongnu siege for long.

If the high-ranking people in the city have backbone, they will live and die with the city, and die and die for the country.

But there are always fewer spineless people in this world than those who have backbone, and there are even fewer people who are willing to die to serve the court, but this can also highlight the integrity of those officials who die to die for the country.

In just one and a half months, the 30 cities in Hedong, except for the seven behind the Heyuan City, and the three heavily guarded near the Hedong Corridor, the remaining 20 cities were all broken by the Xiongnu, and the officials of the 17 cities abandoned the city and fled, and the officials of the three cities burned themselves to death in the county government after the city was broken, and vowed not to surrender.

It can be said that the officials of these three cities can be regarded as preserving the last face of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the Xiongnu transferred troops back to help, they fought with the forbidden army that was attacking the two cities of Hetong and Suyun, and the two sides suffered damage to each other, but they were evenly matched.

Originally, the forbidden army had the combat power to suppress the Huns, but all the Hun troops sent back this time were half-armored, which was caused by the batch of iron smuggled to the grassland by the Ding family before, so that the forbidden army, which was originally ahead of the Huns in equipment, could not suppress the Huns even in equipment.

This is really not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

At this point, although the city of Daliang was lost, the Xiongnu still retained the two cities of Tongguan and Suyun.

The retreat route was not blocked, on the contrary, after reinforcements came, the strength of the Xiongnu side had reached as much as 140,000.

And there are less than 100,000 on the forbidden army's side!

The Great Song Forbidden Army, which was originally on the attacking side, instantly switched from offensive to defensive, and the Xiongnu attacked and defended in an instant.

can only rely on Daliang City and the 140,000 Xiongnu army to stalemate with each other.

After the Xiongnu completely took the twenty cities, due to the foresight of Tila Shan Yu, they collected a large number of craftsmen and forced them to build a large number of various siege weapons, which greatly improved the siege ability of the Xiongnu, who were not good at siege.

At the same time, they also gathered a group of surrendered Song troops to form a beggar army, and they manipulated siege weapons and used the Song people who were good at siege to fight the Song people.

The strategy of razing and razing can be regarded as making Tira's play perfect.

The Xiongnu, who were immediately replenished and restored to their state and improved their siege capabilities, gathered another 400,000 troops and headed towards Heyuan City.

At this time, the defender of Heyuan City was no longer Chen Duling.

The Xiongnu used this month to complete a short replenishment of logistics materials, as well as an upgrade of their own siege capabilities.

The Great Song side also used this time to re-center Heyuan City and rearrange a new defensive line for a day.

Chen Duling's task was completed, and the imperial court did not break his promise, and indeed gave him the title of Earl of Zhenbei.

Originally, he would still be guarding Heyuan City, but there are always people in this world who will look down on others, and the Hedong defense line has been re-established.

Heyuan City has become a new important town, if the Heyuan City Guard will be able to hold the defense line, otherwise the Huns will break through, it will be a great achievement.

Greedy people will always look at what's in someone else's bowl.

Chen Duling, who had no background, was replaced after some operation, and he was replaced by the former Weiyang City garrison - Ding Cheng!

It turned out that after Ding Cheng fled from Weiyang City, he immediately wrote to his family, plus there were many guards in the rest of the city who fled, and now it was wartime, and the court was not good at dealing with so many generals at one time, so he was punished lightly, plus the operation of the Ding family.

In the name of meritorious service, Ding Cheng replaced Chen Duling, and Chen Duling, the newly promoted earl, was on his way to Bianjing Xujue.

When I first arrived in Heyuan City, I looked at the appearance of all the soldiers in the city, and a group of soldiers who already had rich experience in defending the city, plus the imperial court added a batch of soldiers to Heyuan City.

Now Heyuan City alone has 100,000 soldiers, and it has become a veritable garrison city.

The grain that was originally hoarded in Heyuan City was originally intended to be transported away, but the time was too tight and it was too late, and only part of it was transported away.

Now there are still 500,000 stone of grain in Heyuan City that have not had time to be transported out, which is enough for the defenders in the city to eat for a year and a half.

In Ding Cheng's view, he is here to cross a gold, the Huns have been to Heyuan City before, and they have not broken through, and now Heyuan City has been greatly strengthened, I believe that he will not be able to break Heyuan City, he is purely here to pick fruits, pick up credit to make up for his previous mistakes.

With this mentality, Ding Cheng came to Heyuan City.

And less than half a month after he arrived, the strengthened Huns came again with a huge army!

This time they came prepared.

As soon as they arrived at the city, this kind of ladder, siege vehicle, crash, etc. were all prepared and pushed to the city.

And those who manipulated these people who took the lead in attacking the city, when they looked at their faces, they were all Song people.

When Ding Cheng saw this scene, his heart suddenly sank, his face changed, and he instantly broke the defense and scolded.

"You wait for these people who have forgotten their ancestors, greedy for life and afraid of death, and surrender to the Huns, but they dare to help the Huns attack their own city.

Do you have ancestors in your hearts, do you know where your roots are!

But if you still have a little conscience in your hearts, you should kill yourself on the spot now, instead of standing opposite us and embarrassing your ancestors!

I'm sorry for your mother!

……”

Ding Cheng scolded very badly, and almost used all the ugly vocabulary he had learned all his life.

The beggars who had been driven from below did not dare to look up at him, because they also felt that their actions were humiliating.

But when Ding Cheng's scolding became more and more ugly, the anger in their hearts was also hooked, thinking of the appearance of these officials drinking the blood of soldiers in the past.

thought of the scene where he worked hard for the court but ended up with a family with four walls and often couldn't even eat.

The mentality changed suddenly, and the anger towards Ding Cheng and these high-level officials instantly occupied his heart, and when he looked up again, his eyes at Ding Cheng instantly turned red!

Kill! Kill this dog officer!

Why did we surrender, it's not that you dog officials abandoned the city and fled to abandon us first!

We are not to blame, you betrayed us first!

Kill all of you guys! Kill!

The originally sluggish beggar army was scolded by Ding Cheng, and its combat effectiveness doubled in an instant, and its morale reached its peak!

Riding a horse in the Chinese army, looking at Tilashan Yu here, saw this change, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This Song official is so demented, he shouldn't be able to beat them Huns!

……

Woowoo!!!

The high-pitched attack horn sounded, and the red-eyed beggar army roared and launched an attack on Heyuan City!

An arrow suddenly came from a hundred paces away, and with a whoosh, it shot straight next to Ding Cheng, and the edge of the arrow instantly made Ding Cheng, who was still scolding just now, instantly pale!

Hurriedly left the city and stomped and commanded the defense of the city!
