Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Siege is not just lifting a long ladder and charging up.

This is a pure act of courting death, and cannon fodder is not counted!
Obviously, these Xianbei people were not cannon fodder, they followed the normal siege process, the infantry filled the pits and trenches, and several other teams of cavalry threw arrows on the city at the filled places.

At first glance, Wu Xian was staring at the pawns filling the trenches and pushing the antlers, but when he found that the arrows were getting sparser, he couldn't help but look back.

But only some novices stared at the cavalry and shot at each other.

Seeing that many people had been shot by arrows at this time, Wu Xian's eyes were red, and he shouted: "Everyone, don't shoot at the cavalry, dodge the cavalry, shoot at the infantry..."

After reprimanding these archers, Wu Xian turned his head and ordered to a messenger: "Go! Send twenty rhubarb crossbows here, and focus on this group of miscellaneous cavalry!"

There were originally 100 rhubarb crossbows in the armory of Zuo Junying, but unfortunately there are only more than [-] left.

Just like this, last time Guo Yan sent someone to ask about this matter, and wanted to take it back, but Qiu Zhiqing prevaricated it.

The rhubarb crossbow was quickly put on the top of the city. When the rhubarb crossbow was shot, the cavalry who were running back and forth were calmed down, and the number of casualties on the city was reduced a lot.

While teaching the two healers who were studying, Qiu Zhiqing quickly treated the wounds of the wounded soldiers.

Next to it were strips of linen boiled in a cauldron, and the wound medicine that Qiu Zhiqing had prepared in advance.

This low-intensity obstacle-clearing battle lasted until noon. As the distance advanced, the Xianbei cavalry suffered heavy casualties.

At least 400 people lay down in one morning, not counting the injured.

Such a large number of casualties, but only to push away the horses outside the city gate and fill up the trenches, is obviously not in the interests of the robbers.

During the surgery, Qiu Zhiqing discovered through investigation that the main forces of Xianbei in Qiangyin County had already been divided, heading west to Dingxiang County, and east to Youzhou Dai County (Yu County, Zhangjiakou area) .

There is another road, which bypasses Pingcheng and goes to Yinguan (Shuozhou), where the county government of Yanmen County in the southwest is located.

Qiu Zhiqing was not particularly worried about this, but the ruins of Qiangyin County.

It is still used as a logistics base by the Xianbei people, so it is no wonder that 2 people have to be placed in Pingcheng.

I am afraid that in addition to looting nearby, it is to stare at Pingcheng, and at critical moments, you can also return to defend against Qiangyin.

However, as a logistics base, there are mountains, waters, and pastures. This is treating this place as a grassland for grazing...

Looking at the water curtain, Qiu Zhiqing fell into deep thought, should he find a chance and make a vote?
If this fight is successful, and Xianbei doesn't grab anything, then in the next few years, Xianbei probably won't be able to go south to plunder.

Why do northern nomads always go south?

If they snatch it, they will make a fortune, but if they don’t, there is no loss. Anyway, it’s cold in the north, so they have to go south to escape the cold, and grab a wave of looting. How is this different from hunting along the way?

But if he was bitten back by the prey, not only the prey would not be caught, but also his cattle and sheep would be lost. Let them know that going south is not only hunting, but also sending warmth!
that……

Suppressing the little Jiujiu in his heart, this kind of thing is not something that he, a county magistrate with only [-] regular troops in his hands, can accomplish.

If, as the prefect Guo Yan said, let yourself make up the quota of the left army camp, then the county guard will distribute weapons...

Hehe, what's the matter with me after making it up?

It can't be said that after it is completed, Pingcheng is even more dangerous.

Just after noon, the Xianbei army, which had rested for a while, was dispatched again.

However, this time the gully was still filled. It took Qiu Zhiqing and the others half a month to dig out the trenches and make the horses, which could be filled in half a day.

There are no fancy scenes, and the siege battle is so unpretentious and boring.

At the end of the day, the Xianbei people left more than 700 corpses in the north of the city. The Xianbei people who rarely attacked the city suffered a lot. Before reaching the foot of the city wall, more than a thousand people were killed or injured.

There are more than 700 corpses that have not been retrieved.

Opposite Qiu Zhiqing was the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, and the leader was the man Qiu Zhiqing saw in the water curtain yesterday.

At this time, the leader of the Tuoba tribe was looking at this male city.

Of course, this is only the majestic city he thought of. After all, they had never seen a city that was four feet high in Liaodong before, and most of them were about three feet high.

But none of this matters.

What he has in his heart at this time is only the longing for the southern Han Dynasty, and also the regret that he can't plunder to his heart's content!

"Boss, we can't fight any more. If we continue to fight like this, we won't gain anything this time. We might not even be able to keep the pasture when we go back!"

Leader Tuoba understands this truth, but he is like a gambler who has lost a lot in the past, and now seeing hope in front of him, he wants him to stop the loss in time, how can he stop!
Although he doesn't understand what a gambler's psychology is, he knows that no matter how many villages are plundered, the rewards from conquering a city are not as great.

"Confused! How can the holy white horse eat dry weeds? The fattest tender grass is what it pursues! Continue to attack the city!"

After reprimanding his subordinates, the leader of Tuoba Xianbei once again cast his eyes on the top of Pingcheng City, his face became more and more solemn.

The so-called sacred white horse is their Xianbei totem. It is rumored that it looks like a lion but not a lion, a dog and not a dog, a horse and not a horse, with wings growing from its ribs and a rhinoceros-like horn in front of its nose.

Once led their ancestors out of the predicament, they called it: the holy white horse!

I don't know what this description has to do with horses?
The boring siege battle continued until night fell, and it ended quietly.

At this time, the many teams that went out to plunder in the morning also returned to the camp. Looking at the subordinates who had harvested little, the leader Tuoba fell silent again.

No way, who made him feel unlucky for winning such a task?
"boom!"

The more he thought about it, the more angry the leader Tuoba smashed the desk in front of him with a punch, his wolf-like gaze scanned everyone present, and the barbaric aura oppressed everyone.

Seeing that the emotions were almost brewing, leader Tuoba said calmly in his deep voice:
"From tomorrow onwards, only two teams will go out to sweep. I will do my best to break through the city in front of me. According to the information sent back, this city was just broken last year.

There are not many soldiers and horses in the city, only two hundred, two hundred versus twenty thousand, even if they are gods descending from the earth, they will certainly not be able to defend, as long as the city is captured, we can retreat calmly if there is danger..."

This is the first day of attack and defense, and it looks like they will be able to advance under the city wall tomorrow.

Looking at the corpses under the city, Wu Xian had mixed feelings in his heart, including happiness, worry, and a little bit of fear.

After flying for a while, Wu Xian withdrew his thoughts and arranged a group of young men to go out of the city to collect arrows. Before the Xianbei people could react, they collected one batch at a time.

As soon as he gave the order, he saw Qiu Zhiqing appearing on the city wall. For some reason, Wu Xian heaved a sigh of relief...
