Tong Guan returned to the big tent and waited for Zheng Zhi to report it. The matter was done. He didn't say much, and he let out a breath, got up and took everyone to the top of the city.

Scouts kept coming to report, and the Dangxiang people were about to arrive today. Everyone stood at the top of the city wall and the soldiers were all at the top of the city wall.

It was not until mid afternoon that the figure of Dangxiang people finally slowly appeared in the distance.

First there were shadows, then more and more, all over the mountains and fields, with more than 50,000 cavalry covering the entire northern horizon.

Everyone said nothing, but just stared at the increasingly clear Dangxiang people in the north.

However, the Dangxiang prisoners who had been tied to the city wall for almost two days suddenly started to shout. The people had been dying before, and had only been fed two buns by people in the past two days. At this time, when they saw the Xixia army appearing in the distance, they seemed to see hope and had strength all over their bodies.

The entire city was filled with the shouts of the thousands of prisoners, and the scolding and beating of the Western Army soldiers were followed.

All the Dangxiang people were in front of us and began to set up camps, while some soldiers began to log and build camps.

Several teams of hundreds of cavalrymen came out from a distance, running around the city, as if they were checking the situation of the city. This situation was beyond the expectations of the Dangxiang people, and in the end they seemed to be a little late.

"Old Hu, come here and shoot me!" Zheng Zhi looked at the Dangxiang Cavalry team who was riding a horse two or three hundred steps away, and shouted Lao Hu, Hu Jingzhong. Under Zheng Zhi, Hu Jingzhong's shooting skills are the most accurate.

Hu Jingzhong came forward, with a crossbow beside him, and the winch creaked, and arrows like spears were loaded.

Zheng Zhi was obviously not the soldiers who fired volleys, but just ordered Lao Hu to operate the bed crossbow. The range was too far, and only the bed crossbow could reach the enemy. He asked Lao Hu to shoot, not to kill many enemies, but to increase morale.

The enemy ran in front of him, and Zheng Zhi thought, how could he just watch them running back and forth like this?

Several soldiers were ready to operate the crossbow. Lao Hu moved the crossbow up and down to aim, and a big knife in his hand was ready to cut off the rope of the crossbow at any time.

"Old Hu, here you are here." Zheng Zhi kept reminding Hu Jingzhong, staring at the cavalry team that was heading to the left and heading around.

Everyone was staring at Lao Hu's movements. Tong Guan was still a little nervous while watching Lao Hu's movements.

Just a sound of chopping, the crossbow buzzed, the arrow flew out, and the crossbow was still vibrating.

The huge arrow flew straight to the cavalry in the distance. In a blink of an eye, a knight in the cavalry flew up and hit another person. The two of them flew out several feet and fell to the ground.

An arrow shot through the two of them!

"Okay!" Zheng Zhi shouted loudly.

"Good ejaculation skills!" Tong Guan also praised.

Everyone praised it.

The soldiers on the top of the city even burst into loud shouts and cheers. Only with such an arrow can the hatred in their hearts be relieved.

Old Hu bowed his hand to thank everyone for the praise. His face was full of joy and relieved. He was finally lucky to be unfair. If this arrow failed, Dangxiang people would definitely be even more arrogant.

Looking at the knight running off the field again, he retreated one or two hundred steps away in the blink of an eye, and did not dare to get close to the city. This is the effect Zheng Zhi wants!

The Dangxiang people set up camp slowly, and seemed to know clearly that the Song army could not attack the camp.

The camp was building, and a large number of siege equipment slowly appeared in front of the formation. Although it looked a little shoddy from afar, it did not look much more sophisticated.

However, the old generals such as Zhong Shidao were still frowning, obviously knowing that the equipment that shot archery and threw stones was really powerful.

Zheng Zhi was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw Dangxiang people also have professional siege equipment.

"If our Western Army had 10,000 cavalry, the Dangxiang people would definitely not dare to be so arrogant." Tong Guan said resentfully. Obviously, Tong Guan was not at all engaged in military affairs, and he also knew that it was unrealistic to rely on infantry to attack the enemy formation.

The Dangxiang people were really arrogant, and the camps were like fences of civilians' vegetable gardens. The siege equipment was placed in front of the formation and slowly assembled.

The afterglow tilts westward, each of them buried their pots to rebel.

None of the Western Army soldiers left their posts, even if they were eating and sleeping, they were on the top of the city walls. Huge braziers were lit everywhere, making the scene clear.

On the other hand, there were still many songs and laughter in Dangxiang Camp.

Song Gou is cowardly, and this sentence is probably the words of Dangxiang people from novels to big names. This sentence contains both the disdain of the Dangxiang people for the Song people and the self-comfort of the strategic situation of retreating.

Zheng Zhi was still wearing a broken arm, time waited for no one, and the war was right in front of him. I couldn't wait for Zheng Zhi to recover from injury and fight again. Such a defensive battle was not the turn of Zheng Zhi to fight again.

Just like the Battle of Pingxia City more than ten years ago, the Dangxiang people were still attacking and the Song army defended the city. Only in this way can the greatest advantage of the Western Army be used and the economic advantages of the Song Dynasty were brought to the battlefield.

Being able to turn offensive battles into defensive battles, thereby giving full play to your greatest advantage. This shows how profound the strategy of Zhong Shidao and Tong Guan is.

At the gap in the city, soldiers and soldiers kept building simple mounds of soil all night, hoping that the mound could play a role when it was absolutely necessary.

The long night is hard to endure, especially today's long nights.

Zheng Zhi was wearing armor, drank a few taels of wine, and was wearing a spear with a spear, but he couldn't fall asleep.

No matter how difficult it is to bear at night, the sun rises as usual.

The Dangxiang people also slowly gathered in front of the distant formation with the pace of the sun.

However, these Dangxiang knights turned into infantrymen, with wooden shields in front and long ladders on their shoulders.

Such a large-scale siege is really a burden. If you ride a horse to attack and finally get off the horse to attack the city, so many horses will stay at the city, which is actually an obstacle to the attack.

Such skillful cavalry as infantry attacked the city was the direct reason for the Dangxiang people's retreat over the past 20 or 30 years. However, it has been such a vicious cycle.

The queue is standing and the formation is assembled.

The sun just rose and the earth was covered with golden yellow.

The drums rumbled. The Dangxiang people were ready to attack.

Looking at the Western Army on the city wall, most of them went down the city and entered the city, hiding behind the city wall.

Only some soldiers were left on the top of the city wall squatting behind the battlements, and the battlements were tied up with dying Dangxiang prisoners.

Zheng Zhi also got off the city wall with his broken arm hanging.

It seems that the Western Army had already known the Dangxiang people's next actions.

First, there was a simple catapult cart, and the crossbow began to attack, and the sky was full of sounds of breaking through the air.

In an instant, the city wall vibrated, and loud rumbling erupted, and earth and rocks flew everywhere. The newly built city wall ushered in its first challenge.

However, the quality of this Dangxiang man's trencher is really average, and the stones thrown out are not huge.

The stones hit the city and screamed repeatedly. Many Western soldiers hiding behind the battlements were affected. However, the prisoners of Dangxiang instantly spread all over the field, and blood was splattered by the flying stones.

The shouts erupted again, and the Dangxiang infantry began to charge, and the rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun.
