On the horizon in the west, there were rows of long dragon-like Wu Nanfeng blew the flags, the manes of war horses, the military uniforms of the soldiers, and the red tassels on the spears.

The Xianbei cavalry were cruising around, but they were always afraid of the big chariots on both sides of the queue, and even more afraid of the sharp arrows shot from time to time on the chariots.

The arrow is very accurate, and he chases the flesh and bites it. It is obvious that he has been using a bow for more than ten years.

They tried to go back, but the infantry army was connected one after another, reaching the horizon, filling the entire field.

The smoke and dust spread in the formation, and it was obvious that the opponent's cavalrymen were riding on horseback and rushed towards them.

Occasionally, there was a ruthless man who resolutely penetrated into the middle of the two stair formations and fought against the opponent's cavalry, but he was soon defeated.

There is nothing else, there are enemies in front, back, left and right, and the psychological pressure is not ordinary.

Especially when the Liang army infantry witnessed the battle, the thunder of mountains and seas, even the tenacious people's aura suddenly declined. On the contrary, the morale of the cavalry on the opposite side was greatly boosted and they chased them. After coming here for a few times, they no longer did such stupid things.

The more intense drum sounded, and a huge command car appeared in the sight of the Xianbei people.

Li Chong pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, stood solemnly behind the railing, and quietly watched the army of infantry and cavalry pressing towards Jicheng like a sea of ​​sea.

The third battalion of the Imperial Guards, 28,000 soldiers in the palace, and a total of 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers were all gathered here.

This is an elite force that is pouring out from the country by a unified dynasty. When they set up formations in front of you, you can truly understand what words such as "Sun Guang Yao Sun" and "Awakening through the wall".

Any individual who is brave and powerful under such military power will appear pale and powerless.

When they are pressing over like a wall, the current row falls down and the back row fills the gap expressionlessly, you will feel an unresistible sense of frustration from the bottom of your heart.

At the same time, a faint greed arises. If all the 40,000 to 50,000 people can be left in the wilderness of Jicheng, even if Shao Zhe has twenty-one states in the world, he will gradually lose his heart.

By that time, even Wang Yan, who had always been obedient, dared to question in front of him, why can't my grandson be the crown prince?

This world is very realistic, and violence is always the background.

The command car stopped, Li Chong gently taught his long beard, quietly watching the four gates of Jicheng Jicheng closed, without any movement, and even the Xianbei cavalry that had been swimming in the wilderness slowly disappeared. The earth was quiet, so quiet that it made people want to cry.

After a while, the banners rose one after another, and the commanders were sent to send orders away.

The sergeant in the back row sat on the ground to accumulate strength.

The front row of soldiers was wearing armor and armed with weapons, and remained solemn.

The cavalry scattered out, pulled out several long lines in the wilderness, and looked closely at the four city gates.

The Mihu cavalry scattered further away to cover the periphery.

Countless auxiliary soldiers who followed the army took action, unloaded wooden pillars from the chariot, resisted horses, deer antlers, took out shovels, picks, axes, saws, hemp ropes and other tools, and began to camp.

During the whole process, no one came to stop them, as if they were waiting quietly for them to settle down.

For a moment, only the sound of horses stomping on the ground, the sound of cutting trees and sawing wood, and the sound of infantry rotation arrays remained in the wilderness.

The Xianbei people may have been shocked or were waiting for a better opportunity, but who cares about it? The Liang people only followed their own steps, first set up camp and then surrounded Jicheng tightly. That's all.

*******

Feilong Mountain, 6,500 cavalrymen from Shangbai Town lined up to the south of the city and were under the command of King Shao Yu of Yan.

Tuoba Sigong and other troops have returned to the establishment, but now he has more than 5,000 troops under his command, not many.

At the third moment of Shen Shi, Huang Zhengmen from Heixiao Zuoying rushed over.

In the evening, thousands of Bingzhou cavalry also arrived.

So far, there were nearly 20,000 people in this direction. After most of the day of hard work, a shallow trench was dug, with iron and bamboo sticks inserted at the bottom of the trench, and a large number of deer antlers were placed directly opposite Jicheng to resist horses and guard against cavalry assaults.

Only a small part of the barracks were built, so everyone could only gather the cars and form small circular arrays to rest here tonight.

Shao Yu has been observing the city defense of Jicheng.

This city is quite tall, and moats were dug outside the city, which drew the swamp water as a moat.

The facilities such as the urn city and horse face are perfect, and it is obviously built with the guidance of the people of the Central Plains. It is considered a huge city in Changli County, which is a rare place in the border areas.

There is a low wall close to the base of the city wall, which is usually a place where livestock is stored, commonly known as "sheep and horse wall", but it is empty at the moment, with neither livestock nor anyone stationed.

It is obvious that there are horses in the city, and the Xianbei cavalry probably all huddled in the city, but there shouldn't be too many, because the city is so big, and three thousand cavalry are at the top of the sky.

Most of the Xianbei cavalry are still in the wild.

Thinking of this, Shao Yu walked around and looked around.

The wilderness was empty and uninhabited. The crops in the farmland had just grown for a while, and there was no one in the village, without any movement.

This is a solid wall and clear field.

Neither side of the war was a fool, and now they understand the other party's tactics.

The Xianbei people must have wanted to rely on the strong city to defend and consume the vitality of the Liang army. After almost the same, they sent troops and horses in the city that had been replenishing their strength for a long time to launch a fierce attack.

If this move fails, then continue to defend until late autumn and early winter. When the Liang army has to retreat, they will pull out the war horses that have been raised throughout the autumn, choose the knights who dare to fight and follow and chase after them.

This tactic is not wrong, it can even be said to be quite reasonable, so it should be fought like this.

The Liang army's tactics are also quite clear, that is, relying on strong troops to siege the city, each unit attacks in turn, without giving the enemy a chance to escape.

As long as the Murong family is solved, even if this Xianbei force is not completely wiped out, it will take time for it to rise again.

What kind of cats and dogs are qualified to be the leader of the grassland?

Sometimes you have to be superstitious. Whether it is the Central Plains or the grassland, you either have no land of outstanding talents for a long time, or a large number of them emerge in a short period of time, and after this formation, they will disappear again.

The Murong family is lucky and has a foundation-building lord Murong. Now it is time to kill this force, so as not to appear among his descendants with some talented and stubborn people, causing trouble to Daliang and to cause trouble to him in the future.

After the inspection, he returned to the camp, took off his golden armor, called Lieutenant Sima Luhan, and the two of them carried a log in front and back to build the camp with the soldiers.

Huang Zheng, the governor of Heixiao Zuoying, looked at him in surprise and said nothing.

When the soldiers saw this, they all believed it and worked harder to do their work.

As the sun sets, the entire camp looks bustling, while Jicheng is dead and there is still no movement.

*******

Murong climbed to the west of Jicheng and looked at Liang Jun camp.

Murong Ping and Feng Yi have the highest status, one on the left and the other on the right. Behind them are the Chief Shi, Sima, generals, and some slightly grown sons, such as Murong Zun, Murong Ke, and Murong Ba.

These three sons are still too young after all.

The biggest Murong Zun was only sixteen years old. He led his troops for the first time a year ago. He was just a small group of Goguryeo who had retreated from Kou Bian to Xuan County.

Murong Ke and Murong Ba are even younger. The former has just started to engage in military affairs, but has never fought a war, while the latter is only eleven years old and has not yet grown up.

The three brothers followed their father and looked at Liang Jun with a strong momentum, and were shocked for a moment.

Murong pursed his lips tightly.

To be honest, he regretted it a little again, and felt like he was fooled. He shouldn't have listened to the persuasion of the shogunate scholars and stayed to the death.

He had a full month for his escape. Although he might have conflicts with other tribes during the retreat, those people were not afraid of being defeated and could even rob them.

After settling in the distance, people can be sent to inquire about Changli. If Liang army has retreated, they will come back in batches.

Of course, this is not without any harm in doing so. Before the Shao thief withdraws his troops, he will definitely move a large number of Hu Han people who are farming, and these people cannot escape.

Some vassal tribes would surrender and obey the orders of the Liang Dynasty. Even the Shao thief directly rewarded Changli's land and ranch to them, allowing them to rebel against their former masters. Even if they did not trust them, they could move them to the Central Plains so that they would not have the chance to surrender and rebel again.

Conservatively estimated that once retreated, Yan Guohui would lose almost half of its population and two-thirds of its strength, which was really painful.

But it seems that there are more disadvantages to staying, what if the city is broken?

His thoughts were chaotic, and his face changed.

Feng Yi had been observing Murong, knowing that he was regretful, and immediately said, "The four kings, Murong Han, Murong Ren, Murong You, and Murong Zhi have already attached themselves to Shao Zhe. If they leave without fighting, the king's prestige will greatly damage. Shao Zhe sent people to seek pacification, and the Xianbei tribes will definitely be divided."

When Murong heard this, he immediately woke up and said, "It's still the prime minister and the football team are resourceful. Now that things have come to this point, I have nothing to say, just fight."

Sima Hanshou stepped forward and said, "King, at this moment, the whole city is watching, and we must not show weakness. Today, the bandit army is in a row in the field, and the army is majestic, and our army has taken its aroused by it. It is better to take advantage of its first arrival and its unstable position and send people who dare to die out of the city to invite war. Even if there is no great victory, we can rest assured everyone."

Murong Yi moved.

"Brother." General Murong Ping of the Military Advisor also said: "Jicheng is vast, and the Liang people may not be able to surround them all. It is better to fight first. If things are not good, it will not be too late to leave."

Murong nodded slowly and asked, "Who can go to fight?"

"General Zhechong Lan Bo," Prime Minister Feng Yi recommended.

"King, I am willing to go to war." Lan Bo took two steps forward and said loudly.

Murong was also very satisfied with this candidate. Lan Bo was a member of his late concubine Lan family. He was brave and good at fighting, and it was indeed very suitable, so he said, "I will give you five hundred people to leave the city."

Murong swept around the west of the city, looked at the south of the city and said, "Attack the thief army in the south of the city."

"As for the order." Lan Bo replied loudly.

Not long after, the south gate of Jicheng opened, and three hundred armored cavalry first came out, followed by two hundred armored cavalry, and finally more than a hundred people from Lan Bo selected. After a thick array of formations in the south of the city, he ordered the flag to turn around, avoid the front trenches and the antlers, and headed towards the flank of the Liang army in the south of the city.
