War has already begun in Shexian County.

The first stage of the siege war is of course to remove the camps outside the city. Otherwise, when you siege the city, people suddenly attack from behind, kill your soldiers and burn your siege equipment, how can you fight?

It is most taboo to guard a bare city when defending a city.

One thing that is beneficial to the Huns is that the terrain outside the county town is relatively flat. If there is a small hill, the defenders will divide some of their troops to establish a village on the mountain and support each other with the county town, that would be really disgusting.

The camp offensive and defensive battle increased from the beginning.

The King of Hanoi played well in Guanzhong. When he entered Chang'an, the entire eastern half of Guanzhong was already in the hands of the great man. The rest was to recruit comfort, just like Shao Xun did in Hebei: the person who came was given the official.

Therefore, Fengyi and the three families of Di Qiang in Shangjun were sent out and more than 10,000 people were recruited.

The four Xianbei tribes conscripted four thousand cavalry.

The tribes of Hexi (Hetao) received the Shanyu Taiwan transfer order and dispatched more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry.

In addition, there were more than 10,000 men and tyrants in the Bingzhou Fortress, a total of 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses.

Wang Yao from Zhongshan led 8,000 infantry and cavalry to be imprisoned, which was the main force of the central army.

More than 40,000 troops arrived at Shangdang, and local officials and civilians complained.

The weed warehouses that were accumulated like hills were quickly consumed, and the hills became shorter day by day. At this time, the people of Hu Han went out to mow the grass.

The granaries were all opened, and the grain that had just been stored in a few days after the autumn harvest was transferred out again.

Even there are food and grass in Taiyuan and Hanoi, and cattle and sheep are transported over mountains and rivers, regardless of losses.

This battle is really a battle, and it must be decided quickly and minimize consumption as much as possible.

Since the war, the camp has been attacked for several days, and many people have died on both sides.

All the obstacles on the outer camp were wiped out and the final stage of attack began.

Amid the fierce fighting, Liu Yao climbed up to the platform and overlooked the entire battlefield.

Outside the east wall of the camp, the attacking Di Qiang people had climbed up the camp wall and fought against the defenders.

There were many damage on the wall, which were all traces left during the attack. The defenders used wood, earth and stone to block them, and fought wildly with the enemy troops rushing towards these gaps.

In a moment, I don’t know how many people died on the spot.

Some people can no longer manage the fields at home.

Some people can never go back to meet their relatives again.

Some people may soon be about to die and their wives and children will be separated.

War is such a destructive activity, but it has to be fought, because since ancient times, war has been more than peace.

The south gate of Shexian suddenly opened and a group of people rushed out.

The Huns had prepared for a long time, and the cavalry rushed to the front and rushed straight away.

A dense crossbow arrow shot from the opposite side, and the cavalrymen turned over and over. But their actions still played a role. The two thousand defenders who came out of the city stopped and could no longer advance.

The subsequent infantry followed and approached the group.

But they dare not be careless because they had already suffered a loss the day before yesterday.

Although there were only two thousand people fighting out of the city, half of them were wearing iron armor, with crossbows, swords, guns, bows and other various weapons, and their skills were pretty good.

The leader was Xi Jian, and General Shao Xun Longxiang was a general in the shogunate. He was more brave and dared to fight. The first time he went out of the city to fight, he followed the retreating Qiang people and fought fiercely, killing and hurting a lot.

This time, Liu Yao was ready, and he could only barely stop them from moving forward.

The character "Xi" opposite flew in the autumn wind for a long time, and saw that it could not break through, so it formed a tighter formation and slowly retreated.

A large rain of arrows was also poured on the top of the city, blocking the pursuit of the Huns' cavalry and allowing them to retreat safely to the county town.

But after doing this, the Di Qiang infantry who were attacking the camp was frightened and collapsed in a noisy way.

The Jin army in the camp did not pursue it, and the casualties were too heavy and they were unable to pursue it.

"Send someone to lure Shi Le to surrender." Liu Yao got off the high platform and ordered.

The messenger took the order and left.

"What's going on the east?" Liu Yao asked again.

"More than three hundred riders were broken."

"Where did you fold it?" Liu Yao asked, and asked someone to bring the map and look carefully.

Gushan!

After hearing this name, he probably figured it out.

The Jin army sent tens of thousands of people in Shexian County. I don’t know how much food, grass and military funds were hoarded, but there should be some in two or three months.

These people were firmly nailed to the east bank of Zhuozhang River, threatening the retreat of the army in the east.

Although he could bypass this city and not fight, he also needed to leave a large army to monitor it. There were no shortage of people because the defenders had the ability to go out of the city to fight.

If this is true, the army will inevitably divide its troops, and its power will be greatly reduced, and it will not pose enough threat to the Shao bandits.

Perhaps, choosing Hokkou Xing as the offensive direction is really a mistake.

Although this place is closest to Yecheng, it is also an area where Shao thieves deploy heavy troops.

Shexian County has made it clear that there are large troop soldiers.

There are also soldiers on Gushan, which are more than a hundred miles away, and you can cut off the post road when you go down the mountain.

So, what about the Fushui area on the southern edge of Gushan, and the Wu'an and Mingshui areas on the north side?

"Where has Hu Yanmo been?" Liu Yao asked a staff member.

"I have been grazing in Qingzhangshui River Valley."

"Ask him if he has enough, if he has enough, let me go out and head for Fukuoquan."

"Affect the order."

"Where are those who surrendered to Linghu Ni?"

"Eat in Wuxiang."

"Let him take his troops to Jingxing and contact Shi Le."

"Affect the order."

"The rest of the generals and generals took turns to attack the city."

After the order was conveyed, a new wave of offensive began.

This time, Ding Zhuang, the fort commander from various places, headed towards the camp outside the county town under the supervision of Liu Han's imperial guards and infantry.

Almost at the same time, the Jie tribes were conscripted for more than 3,000 cavalry, carrying five days of water eclipse, and moving towards the Gushan line.

The battle against time began again.

*******

The city of Fuliu was chasing each other, extremely tragic.

Thousands of infantry in Nauron's army, who were recently appointed as the prefect of Zhao County (still under Shile), were attacked by the Hun cavalry around the flanks and fell into chaos.

More than 2,000 infantry soldiers in front came over, and the Youmen army was in a state of great anger and retreated one after another.

Seeing that it was about to collapse, the Wuhuan cavalry of the Qihuo Army rushed up and strangled them with the Huns.

When the battle reached the deadlock, another team of Xiongnu light cavalry attacked from the rear, killing the Xiongnu light cavalry of Liang Fuqi's troops into chaos.

The prefect of Julu, Zhang Chai, led more than 4,000 infantry and cavalry to counterattack, and collided head-on with the Xiongnu infantry in front.

A melee between infantry and cavalry began again.

When the battle was setting, the Hun cavalry collapsed in a panic, and more than two thousand infantry and cavalry were attacked from front and back, leaving almost no living mouths, and they were all slaughtered.

Seeing such a tragic scene at Fuliu County, the city immediately opened and surrendered.

The army did not stop here, and rushed eastward and attacked the city of Anping.

On September 20, large troops camped in the west, south, and east of Anping City, and the intention of siege was already very obvious.

The governor Liang Futi climbed to the city to look out, worried.

Shi Le promised him to send troops to help, but there was no movement.

A messenger came from Changshan and Julu, asking him to shrink his troops and stand firm and wait for assistance.

Liang Fuqi could only smile bitterly at this.

He had already shrunk as much as possible. Now the city is full of farmers and herdsmen from various tribes, and there is almost no place to stay.

Cattle, sheep and horses filled every corner, and the smell was stenched. Even his official office was separated from two stables, storing more than a hundred war horses.

Of course, most of the livestock were slaughtered because Anping City could not be put down at all and there was not much grass to feed it, so it was better to be used as military supplies.

For this reason, Liang Fuqin gained his reputation and promised to use food and silk to compensate the herdsmen for their losses after repelling Shao Bing. This was why he barely suppressed his dissatisfaction.

There were almost no idle people in the city, and all the males were soldiers, either stationed at the top of the city or camped outside the city, and they all had to fight.
