After Zhang Lingyun left, Yunfeng and Ma Ji discussed and decided to dismantle the camp in advance. Late the next night, the third trench was filled in by Pu Hong, and the entire army quickly retreated into the city and held on to the city.

Perhaps Pu Hong's spies had noticed that the reinforcements were approaching rapidly, so they did not take any rest after capturing the trench, and launched a continuous offensive without any urgency. By noon on the third day, the Di army had been repulsed.

Two waves of siege,

Today, the city is busy, and the rescued slaves are fully mobilized. Some are carrying the bodies of the fallen soldiers, some are cleaning the blood on the ground, and some are replenishing arrows.

, boiling oil, stone bullets and other strategic materials, while the sergeant took the time to fall to the ground and rest.

Green strips of stone were also piled up under the city head to seal the city gate. In the second wave of the Di army's offensive, the city gate was completely destroyed by the continuous impact of the enemy's charging vehicles. Fortunately, Yunfeng had already led the attack.

The troops guarded the inside of the city gate. When they saw the enemy troops pouring in, they immediately stepped forward to fight. After fierce hand-to-hand combat, they completely wiped out the incoming enemy troops.

The city walls were dotted with smoky traces and pits of varying density. There were even cracks that were several feet long and several inches wide in many places. They were all caused by the stone bombardment thrown by the Di army.

To this, everyone is helpless. After all, Yuzhong is just an ordinary rammed earth wall.

I just don’t know if Zhang Shi will spend a lot of time to strengthen the city defense after this war. Outside the city, there are piles of corpses, as well as scattered smashed rams, wooden donkeys, ladders, flying ladders and other siege equipment. Most of them

They were all stained with blood, and some were still smoking black.

"Dong dong dong~!" The Di army sounded the war drums again, and the ant-like enemy troops came again carrying all kinds of siege equipment.

"Get ready!" Ma Ji waved his hand and gave the order.

The sergeants quickly took up their positions, and the crossbowmen stepped forward one after another and squatted behind the city. The trebuchets were loaded with stone bullets and were waiting for the enemy to get closer. More than ten ramming cars at the top of the city were on standby at any time. When the enemy's ladder came up,

Approaching the city wall, several people worked together to push a pole on the frame and set it on the front end.

The iron-leaf bumping rod will destroy or knock down the ladder. Some soldiers hold fork poles. As soon as the enemy's ladder reaches the city wall, they will use the chisel blade at the front of the fork pole to resist the ladder and push it down, or wait for the enemy.

When you climb halfway up the wall, push down the ladder and chop with all your strength. The horizontal blade in front of the pole is enough to cut off the enemy's arm.

Everyone's expressions were solemn, and the war was about to break out!

At this moment, a watchman ran up to Ma Ji with a look of joy on his face and said loudly, "Report...report to the general, our reinforcements...have...arrived!" Excitedly

His tongue was spinning.

"Damn it, can't you speak more politely?" Ma Ji twisted him up and yelled loudly.

"Reinforcements...reinforcements have arrived!"

"What?" Ma Ji was stunned, and threw him to the ground. Then with a "pop~!" sound, he clapped his hands together. His excitement was beyond words. He stomped back and forth a few steps, and then quickly walked towards the watchtower.

I walked up, climbed up and looked back, and sure enough, a large group of people, as dark as dark clouds, were moving towards the city!

"Soldiers! Our reinforcements have arrived! The reinforcements have arrived!" Ma Ji shouted loudly.

Suddenly, thunderous cheers erupted!

A moment later, the sound of gold clanging also sounded in the enemy formation, and the Di people retreated to their camp like water, obviously knowing that reinforcements from the Liangzhou Army had arrived.

By now, Bo Hong is gone!

Including the garrison, the Liangzhou side has nearly 9,000 cavalry, and there are 3,000 Qiang cavalry hidden in the mountains, and the infantry has reached 18,000! And the Puhong side has 20,000 cavalry.

There are only about 10,000 infantry troops left! Although Liangzhou's strength is slightly inferior to the Di army, everyone knows, including the Di people themselves, that it is wishful thinking to capture Yuzhong! The question that should be considered now is how to

Only then can you escape wholeheartedly.

Contrary to the thunderous cheers at the top of Yuzhong City, the Dijun stronghold was filled with frustration and uneasiness.

A Di soldier sat weakly on the ground holding his spear, turned to his companions and whispered: "Have you heard? The reinforcements from Liangzhou have arrived. It seems that this time they don't want to capture Yuzhong."

"Tch~! Still want to fight Yuzhong? Thank God we can go home alive." My companion said disdainfully.

"Oh, my lord has suffered a big loss this time, but has gained nothing. I'm afraid he will have to face the accusations and censure of other clan chiefs when he goes back." Another Di Jun sighed.

The companions beside him quickly covered his mouth and looked left and right. When they saw that there was no officer nearby, they reprimanded with lingering fear: "You want to die, go and yell at the same time. My lord is also something we can discuss."

?”

Today, this scene is being played out everywhere in the Di Army camp. Just when the ordinary soldiers are panicking, there is also an extremely depressing atmosphere in Pu Hong's Chinese army tent.

"What do you think about the arrival of reinforcements from Liangzhou this time? Let's talk about it." Bo Hong looked at the heavy-faced generals below with a cold face.

All the generals were silent and stared with bated breath. After fighting for so many days and failing to capture a small Yuzhong, Pu Hong had been feeling agitated. In addition, enemy reinforcements had arrived, and there was no hope of capturing Yuzhong.

, withdrawing the troops was the only way, but no one dared to speak carelessly, for fear that if they touched Pu Hong's back, he would drag him down and chop him down.

After waiting for a while, when no one said anything, Pu Hong's face darkened and he said: "Now that our army is in a temporary predicament, don't you want to share my worries? Hmm?"

It was a good thing that he didn't say this. As soon as he said this, all the generals lowered their heads and couldn't see their faces. Pu Hong couldn't help but get angry and called him by name: "Pu Guang, tell me!"

Pu Guang was shocked, and secretly cried out that he was unlucky, but he was called out, so he couldn't say anything. He sorted out his words and said hesitantly: "The enemy's foreign aid has arrived, and it is even more difficult for our army to capture Yuzhong, and the sergeants are fighting fiercely day after day.

, most of them have low morale, and they still don’t know what to do. How about... how about withdrawing the troops first and making other plans later in the day? What do you think, lord?" After saying that, he looked at Pu Hong nervously, for fear that he would explode on the spot.

.

"Hmph~!" Pu Hong snorted coldly: "That's easy to say? Withdrawal is easier said than done? This place is five or six hundred miles away from Shanggui (the prefecture of Qinzhou, today's Tianshui City, Gansu). Could it be that Liangzhou would allow our troops to be safe?

Return?" When he said this, Pu Hong couldn't help but think of Yunfeng. When he came, he was harassed and blocked by less than a thousand people.

, I was so annoyed, but there was nothing I could do, so I just endured it. But retreating is different from advancing, and morale is already low. If this happens to him again, and other Liangzhou cavalry take the opportunity to attack, it will easily cause

The troops were completely disbanded, so Pu Hong did not dare to leave even though he wanted to retreat. Now was the real dilemma.

Pu Guang refuted his opinion, and his face turned pale with fright. Fortunately, Pu Hong ignored him and asked the next person, and then he felt a little calmer.

"Putu, tell me?"

Pu Tu didn't think as much as Pu Guang, so he raised his hands and said: "Why do our army need to retreat? There are still 20,000 cavalry troops, and the enemy's cavalry with reinforcements is only 9,000, but the infantry is slightly more than our army. So.

Before you read it, why not write a letter of battle to Zhang Lingyun, agreeing to a decisive battle at the right time. With our cavalry superiority, we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack Yuzhong City."

Pu Hong began to think deeply. To be honest, Pu Tu's suggestion was the most feasible at present. He couldn't leave, and the attack on the city was obviously hopeless. He could only fight a decisive battle with the Liangzhou Army. The victory was completed in one battle, and there was still a glimmer of hope.
Chapter completed!
