Watching the adults of many tribes, big and small, walk out of the tent. Tan Shihuai sat down dejectedly.

That night, Liu Bei was a young man with a sword and rushed straight into the king's tent.

Tan Shihuai was vaguely seeing the 15th-year-old, but brave and intelligent, and rode alone to chase the leader of the other tribe who was plundering the cattle and sheep of his grandfather's family. He was invincible and would recover all the cattle and horses that were robbed. He was afraid of obedience. He casts spells and bans, and does not dare to offend him, so he thought he was a lord.

Today's Liu Bei is tomorrow's Sandalwood and Shuihuai.

The only difference is that Liu Bei is a relative of the Han Dynasty. He is incompatible with the Xianbei. Tan Shihuai realized that he had not had enough time, so he wanted to take advantage of Liu Bei's wings to personally raise a hundred thousand troops and strangle them into Baitan City. This is the motivation for the army to siege the city.

After three days of bloody battle, the soldiers were damaged and the generals were defeated. I planned to withdraw my troops overnight, but I carefully prepared the news that I had a shortage of arrows in the city. I was unwilling to accept it, so I fought for another three days.

Now that victory is in sight, how can you give up?

Half a hundred miles travels within ninety.

The moat was filled and the urn was broken. The Han army was poor in its skills and released poisonous smoke, which almost harmed itself. It was the end of a strong crossbow and would not last long. Just attack the city and rely on this strong city to defend it, and eat the food and grass in the city. In addition, the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command were tens of thousands of soldiers who controlled the string. Even if the three Han army chased after it, it would not be afraid. After all, the three Han army, which were all cavalry, lacked sharp weapons to attack the city.

In this way, the situation will reverse. If you want to defend, you can defend, and if you want to fight, you can fight. When the Han army is weak in siege, you can take the opportunity to kill the remaining troops and break through. Even if the snow is heavy, this strong city can survive the cold winter.

If so, this battle would be considered a tragic victory.

Now that the troops are retreating, as I said to the three masters before, the Han army will be surrounded and blocked, and there will be heavy casualties and injuries. The "water plants", "grape grasses", "salt land" that depend on for survival will be lost, and the cattle and sheep herders were plundered by the Wuhuan and the Huns. The army has nowhere to do its home and cannot feed. How can we survive this cold winter?

Three days ago, we can retreat. After six days of bloody battle, we can only attack one way.

The danger of retreating troops has been around since ancient times.

Hanging sheep and beating drums, hungry horses lifting bells. Various strange tricks are everywhere. This is to confuse the enemy and take a golden cicada to escape from the shell.

Why is the retreating army dangerous and dangerous? It is because the retreating army is weak. The morale is mostly low and the morale is unstable. It is easy to hear the wind and cranes, and the grass and trees are all defeated like a mountain. Moreover, the front army becomes the rear army. The baggage, food and grass are all dragged in the rear. If the enemy forces to cover up and set fire to burn food, the morale of the army will be in chaos. Therefore, many good generals defeat the retreating army. Taking advantage of the small victory, the morale will be high, and the enemy will not dare to chase after it. Moreover, when retreating, there must be a strong army to cut off the rear. Or choose a dangerous place to set up an ambush, or set fire, break the dike and block the road, and so on.

It is said that you can retreat if you retreat. Take the Xianbei as an example. A light cavalry can retreat by itself. But if you have enough supplies, food and grass, how can you keep up with the horse?

The scout came to report that the three Han troops had joined forces and rushed to Baitan City. They would arrive in one day.

If you retreat at this time, even if the light cavalry can retreat completely, how can you escape from the supplies, food, herders from various tribes, and cattle and sheep all over the mountains?

Losing supplies, food and grass, herders from all over the country, cattle and sheep are everywhere. The mid-winter is approaching, and the ice is frozen for thousands of miles. How can the army survive alone!

There is no way to retreat.

How could the three Xianbei people not know?

It's night.

The torches in Baitan City were raised together, and the light was as bright as day.

Wearing a breathing mask and covered with leather, the craftsmen cleaned up the corpses in the city overnight. They took soil to bury the embers. Before the poisonous smoke dissipated, they moved bricks to fill the door holes and sealed the entrance. All the weapons, armor, arrows and arrows in the arsenal were distributed to supplement the daily consumption. The people and horses were full, and they were ready to go.

Many futures ask.

Liu Bei smiled and replied: I showed weakness before, but I will bully the weak tomorrow!

Huang Zhong suddenly realized: Could it be that the Han army is coming?

Liu Bei nodded happily: Yes.

Then he called in. When the person came to unveil the Xianbei helmet, everyone realized that it was Yan Rou!

There are two gates in Baitan City, north and south. The Xianbei attacked the North Gate for several days, but there was no war in the South Gate. Yan Rou and others who disguised as Xianbei cavalry slaves entered the city at night, bringing the movement of the army.

When he learned that the three Han troops had joined forces and rushed to Baitan City. There was still one day left. Liu Bei understood that the victory of this battle was in sight.

The Xianbei retreated without any need to retreat, so they could only retreat with advancement. The troops were on the brink of danger. Before the Han army arrived, they captured Baitan City. Only by relying on the dangerous situation could they have a way to survive. Otherwise, the vast grasslands and north and south of Yinshan were all Xianbei cemeteries.

Compared with Yan Han, who built a country with agriculture, the Xianbei who lived by nomads had weaker resistance to the climate. Heavy droughts and locust plagues and heavy snow in the cold winter were all natural enemies. At the mildest, the damage was caused, and at the worst, the country was destroyed. As a result, it had to be forced to plunder border counties every year.

A hundred thousand army was dragged to death by Liu Bei outside Baitan City. It was on the verge of destruction of the country and the race.

On the seventh day, it became the last bloody battle between the two sides.

Looking at the overall situation, when the Xianbei abandoned the guerrilla tactics of group wolves, gave up the advantage of cavalry, and instead launched a tragic siege war, the victory or defeat was destined.

The young king, who had always been in a precaution, was well-known for his mentor and Cui Shangshu. He was able to attack and defend, had complete military and armor, and had sufficient supplies. In addition, the Han Dynasty machinery was the best in the world. How could the Xianbei win?

First, they killed their sons and wives, and attracted hatred. When the army besieged the city, they took turns to manipulate the skills to defend the city. The Xianbei suffered losses and generals were about to retreat, but they showed them to be weak and lured them to attack. Then they pretended to be dead and killed, and released poison and fought for a life-threatening attack, creating the illusion of exhaustion of ammunition and food. After a few trips, they dragged the Xianbei for a full six days. In addition, three Xianbei gathered together, which took ten days. It was precisely with the help of these precious sixteen days that the three armies arrived in time.

Seven days.

The Xianbei came out in full bloom. He abandoned the war horses, held a wooden shield and scimitar, shouted loudly, and rushed towards Baitan City.

Seeing Huang Zhong's appearance, Liu Bei smiled and shook his head: "Don't rush to shoot arrows, kill me first."

Seeing that there were only drizzling waves falling from the city, the adults of all tribes breathed a sigh of relief. There were no arrows in the city. But I wonder if there were any ghost fire poisonous smoke.

The Xianbei dead soldiers rushed to the wall with the cloud ladders he had made overnight. They raised the cloud ladders. Then they held a knife in their mouth and climbed up hard. A pot of gold juice was poured down on their heads. The skin was blooming and the flesh fell to the ground. Fish oil was poured down, and a fire was ignited in an instant.

The cloud ladder burned into a fire escape. A row of Xianbei dead soldiers were swept into flames, all of which became human-shaped torches.

The gate hole that was broken yesterday was blocked by bricks today. It was difficult to break through in a hurry. In front of the gate of the city, most of the Xianbei army was stranded. The defenders used their same tricks again, sprinkled fish oil and set fire to burn. The fur on their bodies was very easy to burn in winter clothes. They were also mixed with fish oil to help burn. The whole person was burned into a ball of fire. The fireballs were contagious and burned into a piece of fire under the city.

The crying sounded loudly. I couldn't bear it anymore and the left and right attacked each other and died.

There were many set fires and several times. During the seven-day bloody battle, the layers of corpses accumulated under the city were also burned through. They turned into groups of human-shaped ashes. After one foot, they were destroyed. The mud feet were deep, and the few unburned corpses at the bottom of the ashes were strangely oozing black blood, flooding their feet. The situation was very terrifying.

Even so, the Xianbei dead soldiers still fought bloody battles. Finally, a cloud ladder was successfully erected. The Xianbei dead soldiers did not avoid the blade and rushed to the top of the city with a scimitar. However, they were slapped by Cui Ba who came to support and smashed the sky spirit cover with a shot. The blood collapsed. A group of Xianbei dead soldiers who jumped onto the battlements were surrounded by swords and shield soldiers and chopped up randomly.

Cui Ba followed up with a shot and rolled over the ladder.

Seeing more and more ladders on the city walls, Xianbei dead soldiers rushed to the city to fight with the Han army in hand and blood. The Xianbei Great Chanyu, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly raised his staff!
