Outside the city of Ankang, the camp of the coalition army, the handsome tent.

"General Ashinadu, what does it say? Do we stay or withdraw? ”

Just now, the commander of the coalition army, Ashinadu, informed all the generals to discuss the account, and many coalition generals knew that this was probably an order from the upper echelons of the two ethnic groups, and there was already a decision on whether to withdraw or stay, so they quickly rushed over.

As soon as everyone sat down, someone couldn't wait to ask.

Glancing at the general who was the first to stand up and ask, Ashina pressed his hand to silence everyone before he said to everyone:

"Just now, the royal courts of both clans have issued an order, we will not retreat, continue to besiege Ankang City here, if we can capture Ankang City before the arrival of the Tatar army."

As soon as he said this, the pot immediately exploded.

A Turkic general immediately stood up and said angrily:

"General Ashinadu, we only have 50,000 people, but the other party has sent a full 500,000 troops!

If we don't retreat now, when the other party arrives, how can we, the 50,000 people, resist the other party's 500,000? Didn't the upper echelons think that 50,000 of us could beat the other party's 500,000 people? ”

There were also generals on the Xiongnu side who said angrily: "They are letting us go to death!" ”

The rest of the generals also shouted angrily.

Everyone knows that if the army continues to stay here, there is only a dead end, and no one wants to fight a battle that is completely impossible to win.

Looking at the excited crowd, Ashina let them shout for a while with an expressionless face, venting the anger in his heart.

Then he said slowly:

"What are you arguing about? I'm not done yet.

Naturally, it is impossible for us to match our 50,000 people against each other's 500,000 people.

Now there is news from above, they have recruited 300,000 troops in the tribe, and they will come to support us in the near future, as long as we can take Ankang City before the arrival of the Tatar army, then we can rely on Ankang City and wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then we can bully more and less.

Isn't he a Tatar of 500,000 people? We are directly 650,000 people, 150,000 more! ”

Hearing his words, the generals who were still angry just now gradually calmed down.

But then another man said: "But now that the Tatars are only three days away from us at most, can we take the city of Ankang in three days?" ”

Ashinadu's wolf-like eyes glanced at the generals, and said coldly:

"It depends on your ability, if you can take Ankang City, we live!

If we can't take the city of Ankang, then we will die!

50,000 to 500,000, I don't think we have the strength. ”

The generals were silent, and Ashina did not speak.

He knew that this coalition army was not actually united, even if there was a fight between one race, let alone two races and several armies of the Western Regions.

Don't look at them sitting together now, but everyone has their own little Jiujiu.

In previous battles, everyone had the strength to retain.

Otherwise, an Ankang City would have been taken down a long time ago.

Everyone knows that it is difficult to attack the city, and no one is willing to use their own lives to attack the city, for fear of being picked up by others.

Everyone is retaining their strength, and none of them are serious about fighting, which has allowed Ankang City to defend until now.

Can......

Now that he is at a life-and-death juncture, he doesn't believe that this group of bastards will continue to preserve their strength at this time.

If you keep it, you can only die together.

He believed these guys didn't want to die.

Sure enough, after being silent for a while, someone suddenly stood up and stroked his chest and said, "General Ashinadu, our clan is in charge of attacking the city tonight, and I need to go down and make arrangements before I leave first." ”

Ashina nodded when he heard this: "Patriarch Tule go, I hope to get good news from the patriarch." ”

Tule nodded, said a word, may the heavens bless him, and left in a hurry.

After him, other generals also found various excuses to leave.

Ashinadu said goodbye one by one with a smile.

When the whole big tent was empty, the king of Ashinadu's attendant said angrily: "General Ashinadu, these guys are really too faceless to give you, you have already said that the problem is so serious, they all find excuses to escape, and none of them are willing to really contribute." ”

Ashina Du heard this, glanced at him with strange eyes, and then shook his head with disdain: "No wonder your country is so weak, we attacked it without using it for a day, with you as a fool as the king, it is difficult for your country to be strong." ”

With that, he shook his head and walked away from the tent.

The guy who left behind this former king, but now he has become an attendant, has a blank face.

After leaving the Great Horde, Tur quickly returned to the place where his tribe had been stationed.

He called all the leading generals of his tribe and gave some orders.

Immediately, under the puzzled gaze of the generals, the order was forcibly executed.

Day.

In the evening, at the beginning of the day.

The lights are on.

The two sides had just had dinner.

The night offensive of the coalition forces began.

Since the beginning of the war, both sides have been fighting not only during the day, but also at night.

It's just that the visibility at night is generally low, and the intensity of the attack is very low, and usually the coalition forces are attacking in three waves, and they will withdraw if they are unsuccessful.

Ankang City's side is also thinking that it can rest after resisting the three waves today.

It was only when the attack began that the defenders of Ankang City suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The coalition forces besieging the city tonight did not cope with the usual attack at all, but attacked with extraordinary ferocity.

In less than half an hour, Ankang City was in a hurry, and the originally arranged city defenders were completely insufficient in the face of the sudden increase in the offensive of the coalition forces, but fortunately, the city allocated manpower in time to make up for it, which did not make the city defense loopholes.

When the siege stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In Ankang City, the hall of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

The people of Ankang City will gather here.

The defender Lu Xingzhou reported to Ban Chao: "Lord Duhu, tonight's Hungarian and Turkic coalition forces are very wrong, usually they will give up after attacking at most three rounds at night.

Moreover, the total number of attackers will not exceed five thousand, it will only be a tentative attack, and if it is found unprofitable, it will retreat.

But as soon as the attack began tonight, at least 10,000 men gathered on the opposite side and began to attack fiercely, and continued to attack for fifteen rounds, until our reinforcements came up and confirmed that there was no way to break the city.

Compared to the past, they only felt like they were playing at home tonight as if they were attacking in earnest.

I don't know what stimulated me today? ”

After listening to Lu Xingzhou's words, Ban Chao tapped his fingers lightly on the desktop next to him and pondered for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Is there anything unusual outside today?" ”

The crowd shook their heads.

Ban Chao showed a surprised expression, if there was no abnormal situation, how could the reaction of the Hungarian and Turkic forces be so strange today.

This is absolutely wrong!

Just as everyone was pondering, there was a sudden panicked shout outside:

"Oh no! Oh no! The Hungarian and Turkic forces that had just retreated began to attack the city again! ”

"What!"

Everyone stood up and looked at the heralds who staggered in with surprise on their faces.

"Generals, no, just when the brothers were about to rest, the Hungarian and Turkic coalition forces went and returned, and now there is another fight in the city!"

Ban Chao's brows furrowed deeply, but he didn't have time to think too much, so he hurriedly ordered Lu Xingzhou: "General Lu, you go to command quickly, don't let Ankang City be breached." ”

"No!"

Lu Xingzhou arched his hand and hurriedly trotted away.

Immediately, after Ban Chao arranged everyone down, he sat back in his position and thought quietly, what happened to the Hungarian and Turkistan coalition forces today?

Why is it so abnormal?!
