A round of arrows was thrown down, and a large number of archers holding bent bows, who were piled up in one place and trying to avoid it, fell down. Hundreds of people fell into a pool of blood, wailing and groaning. -"

Even though most of them were minor injuries, lying on the ground and twisting around blocked the entire city tower, preventing the soldiers on the tower from moving forward.

At this moment, dozens of cloud ladders were set up on the city tower of Chencang City. The soldiers holding wooden shields were the first to rush up the ladder, rushing toward the city tower like a crusher. The saber-hands holding sabers,

They also held swords in their mouths, hid behind the shield bearers, and climbed up the ladder.

More unarmored archers came out in greater numbers, clustered on the ladder, and climbed up the ladder with their sabers covered.

Under such a rain of arrows, the soldiers on the tower could not organize an effective defense.[

After almost three waves of arrows, the shield-holder slammed down on the ladder with both hands and feet, and directly used the wooden shield to hit the Qiang soldiers on the tower, forcefully knocking the Qiang soldiers away.

The swordsmen behind him rushed up quickly, waving their sabers and shooting blood, taking away lives one by one.

"King Pinghan, the situation is not good. If it continues like this," Miye couldn't help but frowned when he saw this scene.

When Song Jian heard this, he also slightly lowered his head. Although Wu Zhaohou's army had only come up to dozens of people, it was obvious that the Qiang soldiers were unable to boost their morale when facing the famous Wu Zhaohou army in the Central Plains.

Seeing that Song Jian was silent, Mi Ye waved his hand in annoyance, drew his sword, and shouted loudly: "Pass this king's order! Blow the trumpet and drive out Wu Zhaohou's army. The enemy is few and we are many. How can we still be defeated?"

No matter what, remember, we are Shaodang Qiang, heroes among the Qiang!"

Wuwuwu——

Suddenly, several Qiang soldiers took out the horns from their waists, and the low and desolate sound of the horns came out from them. The continuous sound of the horns made the Qiang soldiers and horses on the tower boil with blood.

Ignoring the archers who were still trembling and wailing on the ground, they screamed and stepped on those people's bodies, rushing towards the gap where the gap had appeared.

Countless halberds stabbed at the soldiers of Marquis Wu Zhao who were brandishing their sabers with a sound of breaking through the air.

Puff puff puff puff——

The sword is light and suitable for close combat, but when faced with the long halberd that has more than doubled in length, there are heavy casualties immediately. Several commanders fell to the ground within a moment of seeing it. The soldiers of Wu Zhaohou who were lying in a pool of blood suddenly became jealous.

He said, "Surround us, hold the shield in front of us, and fight to the death without escaping!"

As he spoke, Wu Zhaohou's troops on the tower quickly gathered around, back to back, and several shield bearers holding wooden shields on the outside protected dozens of people.

Duoduoduo——

The halberd struck the wooden shield, causing a sound of contact. The huge force caused the bodies of several soldiers holding wooden shields to shake, and a slight gap was exposed in the wooden shields.

The soldiers of Wu Zhaohou who were surrounded in the middle immediately waved their sabers and slashed at the surrounding Qiang soldiers through the gap.

Puff puff puff puff——

The Qiang soldiers who were caught off guard were killed by Wu Zhaohou's army. Several wooden shields were dyed blood red, and the fishy stench filled the air.

At this moment, Zhao Yun, who was living under the city tower, suddenly raised his spear and shouted to the sky: "He who climbs first will be heavily rewarded!"

roar!![

In an instant, hundreds of saber-swordsmen who had been prepared poured out of the military formation, holding the handles of their sabers in their hands, and crazily climbed up the ladder.

Wu Zhaohou's army once again exerted force, and the battle situation suddenly fell into a stalemate again.

sunrise, sunset

The green towers of the old city have been dyed red with blood. The entire tower is soaked in blood and covered with bones. The two parties are still fighting.

Next to the corpse of a Wu Zhaohou soldier, there were at least three or four corpses of Qiang and Hu soldiers.

At the edge of the city tower, Song Jian and Miye's brows were getting tighter.

"This Marquis of Wu Zhao is really very brave!" Mi Ye's rough big hands clasped Cheng Quan tightly, placed them on the wall, and said solemnly: "My soldiers and horses of Shaodang Qiang are famous for their bravery, and sometimes they are even blackmailed.

Huan would have retreated when he encountered them on the plains, but I didn't expect that when they came to a head-on confrontation here, the casualties would be so heavy!"

"Indeed!" Song Jian said solemnly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "However, our chances of winning are still higher!"

"What do you mean?" Mi Ye's mind couldn't wrap his head around it for a while.

"Three hundred people will die, one hundred people will die, one hundred people will die and forty people will die, two hundred people will die and another hundred people will die, and seventy people will die again and forty people will die. Who will win and who will lose?" Song Jian sneered, "Besides, Wu Zhao

Hou Jun is also a human being, how can he always be at his peak? Look, from the beginning, three or four people were killed to kill one person, but now only two or three people are killed!"

"However, the more this is the case, the less careless we can be!" Song Jian held his chin and said in a deep voice: "We must find a way to capture Zhao Yun within ten days. Otherwise, once Marquis Wu Zhao arrives, we may have no chance of winning!"

"now that"

Just as Miye was about to speak, his expression suddenly tightened.

Woo woo woo

A vast horn sound suddenly sounded, spreading in all directions, and all Wu Zhaohou's troops retreated like a tide.

Seeing this scene, Song Jian and Mi Ye were all shocked. Why did Wu Zhaohou's army suddenly withdraw?

"Perhaps Zhao Yun also noticed that Wu Zhaohou's army is tired!" Mi Ye guessed in his heart.

Song Jian, on the other hand, frowned and looked at Zhao Yun under the tower from a distance, thoughtfully.

Leave Huaili and go to a small river in the middle of Hanxing.

More than ten thousand soldiers were passing by the river, splashing with waves.

Since Yun Ye did not order a rush march, there were no enemies in the surrounding area, and camps were already being set up on the other side of the river. Therefore, in such a small river, the soldiers were extremely slow to cross the river.[

On the other side of the river, within the Wu Zhaohou camp.

Yun Ye was sitting across from Guo Jia, playing a game of chess.

During the march, time passed slowly, as hard as an ascetic. Many generals had their own habits to pass the time. Some generals liked to drink, some liked to play with women, and some liked to study military tactics and battle formations. It can be said that there are all kinds of strange things.

Yun Ye's habit is to play chess, which not only cultivates his moral character and kills time, but also enhances his understanding of the art of war. Historically, there were many generals who liked to play chess when leading troops.

This is the case for most soldiers like Sun Wu. After all, drinking causes trouble, and playing with women is a big taboo. Studying military tactics and battle formations can easily lead to Zhao Kuo being an armchair strategist.

"Fengxiao, has the news come back from Zilong?"

"The person has just arrived. Do you want to meet me, my lord?"

"Yeah!" Yun Ye nodded, picked up a chess piece, dropped it, and said, "Let him come to see me!"

Guo Jia nodded, stood up and walked towards the outside of the tent, opened the curtain and ordered: "Let the scout who just came from Hanxing come in, the lord wants to see him!"

"Lord!"

After a while, a scout hurried into the tent and knelt down.

"Where is Zhao Yun?" Yun Ye raised his head and asked.

"Lord, General Zhao Yun has led his army to Chencang City!" the scout reported.

"Yes!" Yun Ye nodded and waved his hand, "You go down first!"

"Here!"

The scout clasped his fists and left.

After the scouts left, Yun Ye raised his head and looked at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, it looks like we have to speed up. Otherwise, if Zilong can't hold on, the battle will be in danger!"

Guo Jia was also unsure of Zhao Yun's ability. After thinking for a moment, he nodded deeply and said with a flick of his sleeves: "In that case, we will withdraw our troops tomorrow and leave for Chencang with light troops!"
