"It's snowing......" Liu Tai couldn't help but sigh a little as he watched the sky start to snow.

Although he had expected this situation, Liu Tai still felt a headache when it really arrived.

Because it was only initially snowing, Liu Tai still organized an offensive again, first using a brazier car to burn the broken dragon stone, and then the soldiers held a shield in one hand and a triangular pyramid in the other, killed and repelled the Zhao State iron armor guards stationed in the urn city, and successfully captured the lower urn city.

It's just that Liu Tai soon discovered that Youziyuan consciously arranged for the soldiers to retreat, and burned the road between the urn city and the main city wall.

If you want to attack the main city wall, you are still looking up, and at the same time, because of the distance between the urn city and the main city wall, it will be very difficult for your siege weapons to attack.

But Liu Tai was not in a hurry, and after laying down the urn city, he sent soldiers to transform the urn city in the urn city.

If it is not suitable for the attack of your own army, then modify it to facilitate your own attack, and if it is not suitable for the siege weapon play, then modify it to be suitable for the siege weapon play.

Because it was already snowing, Youziyuan burned snow water every day, poured water on the main city wall to reinforce, and there were soldiers with strong crossbows to garrison it.

Compared to the other party, Liu Tai's tactics were much simpler, demolishing the walls of the urn city facing his side, and then digging a corridor to connect with his own camp, establishing a new defense system, and giving himself space to use siege weapons.

All in all, where he can fight steadily, Liu Tai doesn't have the slightest intention of taking risks.

After taking the urn city, for himself, he has already won the bridgehead to continue the attack, and it is good to continue to advance step by step in the way of fighting in a hard village!

If the times are unfavorable today, he will decisively hide in the barracks.

You Ziyuan couldn't help frowning when he watched Liu Tai take the offensive rhythm of Tongguan's urn city.

Although it was true that he took the initiative to give the urn city to Liu Tai, it was also Liu Tai's soldiers who had the means to quickly assassinate his own soldiers, so he was also afraid that Liu Tai would attack the main city.

Therefore, after his soldiers almost retreated to the main city, he directly burned the wooden bridge connecting the urn city with the main city.

Normally, Liu Tai should repair the wooden bridge, attack the main city of Tongguan, and continue to fight with himself in the bitter cold, so as to give himself a chance to rest and wait.

But Liu Tai didn't, he only sent people to live in the urn city, and then used the urn city as a cover to start building the Yong road generously, and he really had nothing to do with Liu Tai.

For Liu Tai, there is no idea that he has already captured the urn city, and no matter how hard he works, he can take the main city wall.

After all, Liu Tai himself knew very well that he was far from attacking Wengcheng for the second time, although he used the shooting battalion and the thunderbolt to suppress it, but at least it took about a week before attacking again.

But during this time, there was not much repair here in the urn city, so obviously, the wanderer was far away from focusing on the garrison of the main city wall.

When he attacked at this time, he was purely gambling with the lives of his soldiers, so he naturally needed to be cautious and cautious.

After all, even if you are far away from the city wall, no matter how you deploy it, there is an upper limit, at most, it is just to pile up more city defense materials, and it is impossible to hide it up to it!

So, take your time, Liu Tai is not in a hurry.

In the face of Liu Tai's policy of being stubborn and fighting, Youziyuan has a great headache.

Because Liu Tai didn't attack at this time, all of You Ziyuan's preparations became meaningless.

He could only watch Liu Tai continue to build defensive facilities and provide and manufacture platforms for Liu Tai's siege weapons.

You Ziyuan also tried to use his crudely made catapult to fight against Liu Tai's catapult, but soon You Ziyuan couldn't support it.

Because Liu Tai's catapult has been modularized, all kinds of accessories and parts have been prepared, where it is broken, it can be replaced directly, and under the operation of the professional engineering team, it is basically absolutely suppressed.

And Youziyuan's catapult, although it has the advantage of height, the biggest problem is that even if this thing is made roughly, it is also the top engineering weapon of this era.

In this method of directly treating the elite who operated the project as miscellaneous soldiers, coupled with the continuous damage of various catapults, the wanderer quickly fell into a disadvantage in this tactic.

Next, Liu Tai didn't let the thunderbolt throw stones to smash the city wall, because the catapult in this era can smash wooden things, but the city wall made of rammed earth can't really collapse, not to mention that You Ziyuan also asked the soldiers to pour water on the wall, thus adding a layer of frost armor to the wall.

However, Liu Tai's army, especially the shooting battalion and catapults, were not idle.

First of all, the building of the turret continued to rely on the walls of the urn city, so that the shooting battalion continued to consciously shoot soldiers, and at the same time, the thunderbolt also began to play a role.

Liu Tai made abrasives and made huge ice balls that had been frozen for a day or two, at least not frozen in the center, and threw them directly onto the city wall with a catapult, and suddenly the water splashed and the ice flew wildly.

Don't you want to freeze this city wall into ice, Lao Tzu can help you!

For anyone, if you get wet in the winter, you can easily get typhoid fever if you don't take a hot bath and change into dry clothes.

Liu Tai didn't believe it, his army had barely completed the supply of charcoal fire until now, ensuring that the soldiers could have a hot bath in winter, where would you get energy security to ensure that the soldiers could take a bath!

It can be said that Liu Tai just started to let the thunderbolt throw these half-ice and half-water ice balls towards the city wall, and You Ziyuan thought that Liu Tai just wanted to make the road on the city wall smooth.

But as the water splashed in all directions every time, as long as the soldiers stationed on the city wall could avoid the crossbow arrows of the shooting battalion with the help of the city wall, it was impossible to avoid the splash!

After all, this ice hockey ball really can't be smashed, but the water splashing inside is even more wanton on the city wall.

And if he found that there were few people on the city wall, Liu Tai did not hesitate to arrange for the soldiers to attack.

After such a toss, even Youziyuan is very difficult to withstand, after all, in this era, although Zhang Zhongjing has suppressed typhoid fever.

But that was when there were healers and medicines, and more often than not, there was only the possibility of a cure for the nobles of the family.

As for these people who participated in the war, basically as long as they were stained with water and felt cold, they would walk on the ghost gate.

You Ziyuan soon found that with the stalemate of time, his soldiers did not say that they died in battle, but all kinds of non-combat attrition, and even You Ziyuan began to organize soldiers to attack and counterattack Liu Tai.

But Liu Tai's camp built with the urn city was really very strong, and even in order to avoid any tunnels, the land where he camped was dug up, and the soil was used to repair the platform for the catapults, so You Ziyuan's counterattack suffered even more damage.

At the same time, if you are injured on the battlefield, you will immediately pass through the corridor and quickly send them to a safe area that the wanderer cannot attack, and hand them over to the medical battalion for treatment.

All in all, although the front line fought fiercely with Youziyuan, the logistics base Liu Tai in the rear was built quite well.

Although Liu Tai did not dare to brave the wind and snow to take the initiative to attack Tongguan, but relying on the energy system he created single-handedly, to see who is more frost-resistant, Liu Tai is very confident.

Later, You Ziyuan copied Liu Tai's tactics, but it only made the urn city stronger, even if some soldiers were drenched, they could immediately retreat to the rear, take a hot bath with snow water, and dry their clothes with charcoal fire.

Liu Tai said to Xun Xuan, "Send a letter to Chu Yu, ask him to prepare snow boots for walking on the ice in winter, as well as the cold-proof military uniforms of the soldiers in winter, and assist the soldiers to complete the change of clothes at least within a month!" ”

"Subordinates obey!" Xun Sui replied to Liu Tai, and immediately went down to write instructions and asked Chu Yu to transport them.

Liu Tai looked at Tongguan calmly and said, "Winter may not be my friend, but it's definitely not your friend!" ”

Although in this relatively static war, his own soldiers are at a disadvantage, and the wanderer can only continue to hold on.

Otherwise, what should I do, after all, the urn city can be abandoned, but the city wall of the main city of Tongguan cannot be abandoned!

At least with the blessing of the ice and snow weather, even Liu Tai gave up the idea of continuing to attack, and could only use long-range harassment!

It's just that in such a static attrition, You Ziyuan found that his soldiers were losing very quickly.

This kind of loss does not necessarily mean that the soldiers died on the same day, but the soldiers are prone to non-combat attrition, and even need someone to take care of them, and even some soldiers survived the first cold, and then went to garrison the second time, but they were splashed by the cold water in the ice hockey, and the second cold really couldn't be saved.

This made you Ziyuan have to ask for help from the rear, and he needs more soldiers and more supplies.

It's just that at this time, the size of the Zhao State is here, where do they get the materials and manpower, and it is very good to be able to squeeze out the wave of soldiers who are fighting against Liu Tai in the hands of Youziyuan, is it far from possible to expect to levy another 100,000 soldiers to Youzi.

And Wen Qiao looked at the heavy snow that had been raining for a whole month, and had successfully formed the river into a solid ice surface, and said to Liu Ming:

"General, the king and Zhao General Youziyuan have been holding on to Tongguan for a long time, and the attention of the entire Zhao country has been attracted to the fullest, and now that the ice surface of the Yellow River has been formed, we can try to cross the river!"

"Please also ask the general to allow Ju to be the vanguard, and he will definitely take the enemy's forward position!" Li Ju couldn't help but speak.

Wen Qiao said to Liu Ming, "If I am the enemy, I will definitely take advantage of the night to secretly chisel ice these days to form a natural line of defense, this kind of ice is naturally not visible in ordinary times, but if I accidentally step on it, I will definitely suffer a big loss."

Therefore, Qiao suggested that if all soldiers know how to water, tie an empty gourd around their waists, if they don't know water, it is best to carry a small boat over each team! ”

Hearing Wen Qiao's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, such an insidious idea is obviously not something that normal people can come up with, the guys on the other side should not be so inhumane, and their hearts are so dirty!

However, Liu Ming heard Wen Qiao's words and nodded decisively in response.

This forcible crossing plan was a strategy formulated by Liu Tai, and Liu Ming didn't want to fail due to the details, so he said decisively, "It should be so!" ”

Soon, the snowflakes in the sky were still flying, and Li Ju's army, as the vanguard, began to smuggle into Puban.

In such a cold day, the soldiers on the other side didn't expect Liu Ming, who had been standing still, to act at all.

In fact, these soldiers were just standing guard as if they were coping, and everyone preferred to stay in the tent to avoid the wind and snow.

In addition, whether it is Liu Ming or Wen Qiao, they overestimate the soldiers stationed here.

Because in the face of Li Ju's sneak attack, the soldiers here were not prepared at all, and were directly rushed to the opposite bank by Li Ju, and then put the camp along the river away.

Even this kind of relaxed freehand made Li Ju's heart panic, there shouldn't be any traps on the other side, right?

Otherwise, how could it be so easy, and it was served by itself.

Isn't this scientific, doesn't the other party know the importance of this ferry!?

It can only be said that Liu Ming and Wen Qiao both regarded this place as a ferry garrisoned by the Han people, at least with basic discipline and the importance attached to this ferry, but the problem is that this is where the Huns are stationed, and the main soldiers stationed there are also Huns.

The Huns themselves are not good at this kind of stalemate war, especially when Liu Ming came to Hedong, he did nothing, and the Huns themselves could not cross the river to fight Liu Ming, and after the snow, they were even more slack in the cold.

It's just that Puban is an important ferry port in the end, and when Li Juqi successfully attacked the ferry and led the main force to cross the river, the Huns rode the sentry to pass the news of the fall of Puban to Chang'an as soon as possible, and the whole Chang'an was suddenly shaken!

Originally, the entire imperial court was still glad that Youziyuan successfully resisted Liu Tai, but with the fall of Puban, the entire Great Zhao Imperial Court had a feeling of suffocation.

"It's not Liu Tai, but it's just Liu Tai's partial army, he hasn't crossed the river yet, I'm still a little difficult, now he crosses the river and comes to the flat land, look at me, I will point out the Hun cavalry, capture and kill it."

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Futai had such a posture, no matter what, at least now in the imperial court, there is still the main force of the Huns.

When I thought of this, I suddenly recovered a little bit of morale!

And there are also 30,000 soldiers of the Hun cavalry gathered by Futai, which can be said to be the last strength of the Huns.

Now that you want the Xiongnu regime to continue to exist, then this time you have to fight with Liu Tai's partial army no matter what!

After all, Liu Tai himself thinks that he can't beat it, but Liu Tai's partial army can't be as strong as Liu Tai!

As long as this partial army is defeated, Liu Tai is afraid that he can only retreat from Tongguan helplessly, and this Da Zhao has been saved in the end!

In any case, Futai was a little apprehensive, but also a little resolute and went in the direction of Puban.

It's just that such a large-scale march was naturally detected by Liu Ming's scouts who were preparing to go to Baojiatong Pass.

Knowing that the main force of the Xiongnu army was attacking towards his side, Liu Ming was not surprised and said:

"All the troops follow me and destroy the thieves, and then attack Tongguan!"

"Yes!" None of the present raised objections.

Because of Liu Tai's belief accumulated along the way, it is impossible for his army to lose a field battle with other armies outside the city!

For the Han army, these Hun soldiers are clearly military merits given away for nothing!

And Futai took the Hun army to find Liu Ming's troops, and Liu Ming immediately led the whole army to come to the Futai army very actively.

One by one, the Han army was like a hunting beast, which made these Hun soldiers fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Charge, Battle, Collapse...... Fu Tai looked blankly at the other party, tearing apart his entire army at a devastating speed.

The number of soldiers who are almost the same, but they are vulnerable in front of the other party, even if they are directly drowned in the chaotic army.

The only thing I heard before I died was that the voice of "one man as a five-hu" kept echoing!
