Longyou, Zhangye.

Beigong, with a serious look on his face, sat in the middle.

"The reinforcements of the Han people have arrived, so they dared to attack Duyeze... I have sent people to Duyeze to stop the Han people from advancing. The most important thing now is to capture Zhangye first and end the battle in Zhangye as soon as possible before I can free up my hands.

Come and eliminate the Han reinforcements and completely confirm your advantage here!"

Beigong faced the Qiang leaders around him and said solemnly.

After a failure, Beigong's originally excited nerves finally sobered up a bit. He found that he had deviated from the original battle plan and was confused by the previous insignificant victories. Then he ran out of the ambush circle.

Almost became prey...

But now, Beigong needs to rearrange the ambush circle and become a hunter instead of a prey.

But some people have begun to doubt Beigong's plan.

Xizhi, a Qiang man, was a well-known warrior far and wide. Hearing Beigong's words, he sneered, "Beigong, do you mean to prepare to fight all night?" Xizhi, Qiang

The aristocratic surnames passed down from people in the Spring and Autumn Period, but like the aristocratic surnames of the Han people in the Spring and Autumn Period, now people just say "oh" but not "respect".

The news of Beigong's failure in pursuing Gao Wutong cannot be concealed. Although it is common for military strategists to win or lose, it still has some influence. At least Beigong's words are not as useful as they were at the beginning.

"Today we have severely damaged the Han people on the west wall of Zhangye. If we don't give them a chance to breathe and continue to attack, they won't be able to sustain it for one night. As long as we open a gap, we can expand our advantage and occupy the city gate."

, seize the city in one fell swoop!" Beigong looked around, "As long as Zhangye is in our hands, we will take the initiative, and not only can the previous losses be made up, but we can also be sure that everyone will gain a lot of extra gains!"

For ordinary Qiang people, perhaps the war with the Han people is to compete for publicity, but for these Qiang leaders, it is for benefits. Beigong also knew this very well, so he said directly: "As long as we capture

Once we reach Zhangye and get something, our men will be more energetic! Our morale will be even higher!"

Qiang Xizhi waved his hand and said, "That's true, but in the past two days of continuous attacks, our men have lost more than two thousand people in total, and they are all exhausted. If we can really take the city,

Of course it's best, but the Han people are also very determined to hold on to Zhangye, and...and if we can't defeat it, our sons will become more and more exhausted. When the Han reinforcements arrive, we are afraid that we will be in chaos immediately!"

"But our reinforcements are coming soon! And we have already captured Xiedan City and Rile City! Naturally, we can also capture Zhangye City!" Beigong glared at Xizhi and said, "This was our original plan.

Okay! Lure the Han people to Zhangye and then wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

"Humph, did we capture Xiedan and Rile? The Han people gave up on their own! As far as I can see now, I really don't know whether it was the Han people who fell into the trap or we fell into the trap..." Although the Qiang Xizhi family said

He may look rough on the outside, but judging people by their appearance is often wrong.

"There are not many Han people! The previous defeat was just because we were accidentally ambushed!" Beigong emphasized, "This time we ambushed the Han people! But only by defeating Zhangye first can we rest assured and safely ambush! This point,

Doesn’t everyone have any opinions?』

Everyone fell silent.

"Tomorrow morning, we can stand on the city wall of Zhangye and enjoy the sunrise!" Beigong said to everyone confidently, as if he had a winning ticket.

Is it a winning ticket...?

Well, everyone who buys a lottery ticket will feel that they are holding the only winning ticket.

In several days of fighting, the Qiang troops only attacked the city gate twice. Since the attack surface of the city gate is very narrow, the soldiers are easily crowded together, and once they are hit, they are often very heavy, so generally speaking, they will not

Instead of deliberately attacking the city gate alone, ladders will be erected on adjacent city walls to disperse the defensive forces. Once the defenders' negligence is caught, the possibility of a surprise attack and breach of the city will increase.

Beigong looked back at the siege vehicles hidden in the dim night and the Qiang soldiers in front of the formation, then he drew his sword and shouted: "Aries God protects! For the glory of the Qiang people! Kill!"

』

Thousands of warriors raised their weapons at the same time, "hooting...hooting..."

Beigong turned around and said to the bugler: "Blow the trumpet! Start attacking!"

The sound of a huge horn horn, one louder than the other, resounded throughout the battlefield.

The Qiang people are not good at siege, but they do not understand siege at all. After all, they have been fighting with the Han people in Longyou and Hexi for many years. If they say they don’t understand it at all, then the cities that the Qiang people have conquered over the years will be much worse.

How to say?

The Qiang leaders each stood under the battle flags representing their own tribes, and they also raised their swords and shouted:

"Blessed by the Aries God!"

"The Qiang people will win!"

The Qiang soldiers waved their weapons one by one, and then, as if they wanted to vent the fear and fatigue hidden in their hearts, they shouted with all their strength: "Hail... we will win..."

"Come forward! Fire arrows!" Following the order, the Qiang people's archery troops first shot the long arrows in their hands, kicking off the bloody battle. The Hu people, including the Qiang people's archers, were almost all members, and anyone

They are all archers, and they can also be warriors, so there is no difficulty in converting between them.

Long arrows all over the sky rushed into the sky at the same time, making a complicated whistling sound.

The screams of long arrows tearing through the air almost drowned out the screams of the Qiang people rushing from the city. The long arrows fell like raindrops, hitting all the surfaces in contact, making countless sounds. Screams, and shock.

The shouts, along with the falling figures one after another, resounded throughout the battlefield.

Under the cover of archers, the Qiang soldiers quickly arrived at the city wall. They immediately set up hundreds of ladders along the city wall, and hundreds of assault teams immediately began to attack.

"The king has an order! Why don't you attack?!"

A Qiang soldier rushed to the Xizhi tribe and shouted.

"Get out!" Xizhi yelled dissatisfied, "Going up now is going to die! When the opportunity comes, I will go up myself, don't talk nonsense to me! Get out!"

The Qiang messengers had no choice but to go back to report to Beigong. Beigong was so angry that he couldn't kill Xizhi on the spot. He could only secretly move some Qiang people away from Xizhi. As a result,

Instead, it gave Xizhi an excellent opportunity...

For fear of accidental injury, the Qiang bow and arrow troops stopped shooting continuously. The Han people on the city wall immediately launched a counterattack. Countless large and small stones flew out from the city wall, and occasionally huge logs fell from the sky along the ladder. The Qiang people

The human soldiers suffered a violent counterattack for a while, causing heavy casualties.

The fire flickered, and there was chaos all around. The roars and screams resounded throughout the world, making the ears buzz. From time to time, someone shouted "the city is broken" and "attacked in", but it was soon proven that it was only part of it.

The Qiang people were bluffing, or they had temporarily climbed onto the city wall.

There were many Qiang siege points. The Han defenders on the city wall were gradually reduced in number due to repeated attrition. They were also stretched for a while and were unable to take care of them. After entering the middle of the night, the third wave of Qiang soldiers

Having successfully climbed over the city wall from many places, they attacked the Han defenders at the top of the city with great momentum, and fierce hand-to-hand combat began again.

Mr. Xizhi kept holding it in until he discovered a flaw on the city wall...

"This is the time!"

The Qiang Xizhi shouted in a low voice, urging the soldiers to push the car. Under the cover of the shield soldiers, they braved arrows shot from nowhere and struggled forward. The wooden wheels were telling it in a crooked way.

The heavy burden on his body then rolled over the loess, blood, gravel, and corpses, and he became faster and faster under the cover of night, heading straight towards the city gate!

It has to be said that this overnight attack on the city did not surprise the Han defenders on the one hand, and on the other hand it created more favorable conditions for these crashes. In the dim sight at night, the crashes were almost approaching the city gate.

, was discovered by the Han soldiers on the top of the city, which immediately caused a panic.

Because the Qiang people only attacked the city gate twice before and suffered losses, so the Qiang people later did not focus on attacking the city gate. In addition, the previous two waves of Qiang attacks also focused on more

The vast city wall made the Han soldiers guarding the city think that the Qiang people had given up attacking the city gate, so they repeatedly mobilized soldiers from the city gate to support other places. When they found out that the Qiang people suddenly chose the city gate as a breakthrough, they

I want to rush back, but it's too late...

The collision was getting faster and faster, and the soldiers pushing the cart were almost running away.

Looking at the city gate getting closer and closer, the Qiang soldiers roared wildly. Although some soldiers pushing carts were shot, they were even rolled under the wooden wheels of the carts they pushed, making the sound of broken bones and tendons.

, but the other Qiang soldiers didn't care at all, and used all their strength to push the huge city ramming car and rush towards the closed city gate!

"boom!"

An earth-shaking loud noise came from the city gate cave.

The soldiers on top of the city gate felt that the soles of their feet were trembling, as if the entire city was shaking and wailing amid the noise.

"Captain Meng! The city gate is under attack! There is no kerosene!" On the city wall, the Han soldiers roared loudly.

Meng Shu's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became somewhat dazed.

As early as last year, Jia Xu predicted today's war, but at that time, Jia Xu did not say it in detail, and Meng Shu did not ask for some details...

But now, all of a sudden, this detail that had almost disappeared from memory seemed to pop up again due to the vibration at the city gate. The time, location, tactics, and characters seemed to be in many aspects what Jia Xu had predicted.

It's almost the same. Meng Shu even remembers that Jia Xu said at that time that if this war is victorious, Longyou and Hexi can be almost pacified for at least thirty to forty years. Using this time, the Western Regions and Chang'an can be made more inseparable.

Let Longyou truly become a hot land and make people's lives better.

"What if we lose?" Meng Shu remembered asking at that time.

Jia Xu seemed to have said that it was unlikely to lose, but he was not sure how many people would die...

Now Meng Shu suddenly remembered that when Jia Xu said this, the way he looked at him seemed to be exactly the same as the way Jia Xu had appointed him as the fake governor of Zhangye not long ago...

"Jia Wenhe!"

Meng Shu gritted his teeth and called his deputy, asking him to watch over the Qiang attack on the city wall. He asked people to go from above the city gate to stop them as much as possible, while he summoned the soldiers from the reserve team to prepare to block the upcoming attack at the city gate.

Gap!

The low horn sound sounded outside the city again, and the enemy launched a new wave of offensive.

Meng Shu rushed to the city gate with fifty reserve soldiers. The gap must not be opened. Once it is breached, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the entire defensive position. By then, not only the soldiers guarding the city will die, but also those in the city.

the people!
To be continued...
