Chapter 184: Soldiers approach the city

On the morning of May 11, 426, the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji had just handed over the 750 soldiers from the trapping camp that he received from the lottery to Gao Shun, and the vanguard troops of the Sixteen-Genocide of the Grassland Alliance came outside Chengyin City.

Then a steady stream of Hu cavalry came from the direction of the Xishankou to outside Chengyin City. The leaders of the Sixteen-Grass Alliance of Grassland also arrived in Chengyin City soon after.

Lou Fan Dahan Mingray rode on the war horse, looking at the densely packed defenders on the wall of Chengyin City in the distance, and said to the Khan and the Sect King of the other tribes on both sides: "From the situation on the wall, the Jin people should have prepared a lot for defending the city and did not pay a certain price. We should not easily conquer Chengyin City."

The great khan of the Wuheng clan Shurha nodded and said, "You can defeat Wuheng continuously, the army of the Loufan clan and destroy the Cangxiong tribe of the Loufan clan. You can imagine the strength of this Jin army. If our 16 clan coalition forces want to capture Chengyin City, casualties will be inevitable. My Khan sees that we will not attack the city today. Let the warriors of all races set up camp around Chengyin City and build the equipment used to attack the city. We must be prepared for a long-term attack."

On the evening of May 11, hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry had surrounded Chengyin City, and temporary camps were built in four directions outside Chengyin City. However, these camps were very simple, and the fences around the camp were not built, but were just made of felt bags.

After all, the total strength of the sixteen clans of the grassland is as high as 520,000. The leaders of the coalition forces do not think that the Jin army in Chengyin City has any chance of struggle. They are completely in a jar, and it doesn’t matter whether they repair the fences of the camp.

After the Sixteen Grass Alliance Army of the Grassland came to Chengyin City, Liu Ji and some of his generals moved around the city wall with a circumference of 12 miles. Liu Ji sighed to the dozens of generals around him: "This general estimates that this grassland alliance has at least 300,000 people, and may even exceed this number. In order to defend Chengyin City, we can only fight to the death this time!"

Le Yi said comfortingly: "Lord, we have 34,000 soldiers in Chengyin City. In addition, the walls of Chengyin City are high and strong, and the city walls in both east and west, north and south are only three miles long. The advantage of the Hu people's military strength will be offset when siege. In this way, even if the Hu people have ten times more troops than us, they will not be able to break through Chengyin City!"

Originally, there were more than 33,000 defenders in Chengyin City, and with the 750 soldiers from the trap camp created by Liu Ji, the total strength had exceeded 34,000.

Liu Ji nodded and said, "I have always maintained confidence in defending Chengyin City, but the Hu people outside the city have too many more troops than us. After the war to defend the city, everyone must be more cautious! By the way, are all four city gates blocked?"

Wei Xiaokuan said: "Lord, the city gates on the east, south and west are blocked by soil and rocks, and only the north gate is still left. Brothers are ready to give the Hu people a warning and improve the morale of the soldiers!"

In this world, in the battle between the enemy and us, fighting generals is almost indispensable. Wei Xiaokuan said to give the Hu people a warning, and Liu Ji knew that what Wei Xiaokuan was referring to was killing the Hu people in the battle generals.

At this time, the four top military generals under Liu Ji were the only one in Chengyin City, but there were two first-class military generals Wang Bodang and He Ruobi in the city. Liu Ji was not afraid of fighting with the grassland coalition forces.

Liu Ji immediately said, "Since the North City Gate is not blocked, you must be more careful when it comes to the North City Gate and don't let the Hulu take advantage of the loopholes."

Liu Ji then looked at the dense felt bags of the grassland coalition forces in the distance, touched his chin and said, "It seems that this grassland coalition forces are quite arrogant and are not afraid that the general will attack the camp at night."

There was nothing to say all night. On the morning of May 12, the leaders of the 16 clans of the coalition forces, led more than 100,000 cavalrymen of various tribes, set up a formation outside the north gate of Chengyin City.

The energetic Loufen Dahan Mingray sent a guard beside him to the north gate of Chengyin City, and shouted loudly to the defenders on the city wall in Jin dialect: "Listen to the Jin people on the city wall, Loufen Mingray Khan, the leader of the 16 clan alliance of the grassland, today, led the 520,000 cavalry army of the 16 clans. When the troops were approaching Chengyin City, if you Jin people knew about each other, open the city gate and surrender quickly, otherwise when the 16 clan coalition forces broke through the city, Chengyin City would be left without any grass!"

At this time, Liu Ji and his many generals were standing on the north city wall. When Liu Ji heard the Hu cavalry shouting out a 520,000 army, he couldn't help but take a breath.

Liu Ji knew that the grassland races were different from the Great Jin Dynasty. The army of the Great Jin Dynasty generally said that it would have more troops. Sometimes more than 10,000 people dared to claim to be an army of 200,000, but the grassland races disdained to exaggerate the number of troops. Generally, they were real. Since it was said to be a 520,000 army, this grassland coalition would definitely have 520,000 Hu cavalry.

However, there were 5.2 million Hu cavalry outside the city, and Liu Ji and the others could only fight with one stone. There was no reason to surrender without fighting.

Liu Ji immediately gave He Ruobi the captain of the Guard Camp next to him a look. He Ruobi immediately shouted loudly to the city: "If you want to fight, just fight. What's the use of saying so much nonsense? Grandpas are waiting on the city wall for you, the group of barbarians to die!"

The guard of the Loufen Khan Mingray, who was under the city, did not feel surprised when he heard the shouts of He Ruobi in the city wall. If a few words could make the Jin army in Chengyin City surrender, the sixteen clans of the grassland would not have gathered an army of 520,000.

The guard then rode his horse back to Loufan Dahan Mingray, "Khan, the Jin people in the city refuse to surrender."

Mingray turned his head and smiled and said to the Khan and the Sect King of the other tribes: "Before a large-scale siege, let's demonstrate the martial arts of our warriors of each tribe in front of the Jin people! It will also enhance the morale of our sixteen tribes coalition forces. Which tribe's warriors are willing to go out to fight and win a first prize?"

The great Khan of the Dingling clan, Chaganlar, immediately responded: "As the leader, why not let our Dingling clan warriors perform in front of the coalition forces of various tribes and take off the heads of several Jin generals!"

Mingray said without hesitation: "Okay! Chaganlar Khan, let all tribes see the strength of the Dingling warriors!"

The great khan of the Shatuo tribe next to him, Xie Zhiyi, saw Mingray asking the Dingling clan to send warriors to the front, and curled his lips disdainfully. The relationship between the Dingling clan and the Loufan clan was there, and Mingray handed over the opportunity to perform like this to the Dingling clan. Xie Zhiyi was not surprised.

However, the Khan of the Dingling clan Chaganlar and Xie Zhiyi did not deal with it. Xie Zhiyi heard that there were many powerful generals in the Jin army in Chengyin County. Xie Zhiyi hoped that the Dingling clan could fall a big fall this time.
