Chapter 641 Siege
The bright sun shone on the newly repaired city wall in Nao County, and the swords on the city wall reflected a faint cold light. The autumn wind and fallen leaves fluttered here, rolling up murderous aura and permeating the city of Nao County.

Zhang Liao stood at the top of the city in military uniform, surrounded by armored warriors. The top of the city was covered with all kinds of supplies for defending the city, such as arrows, lumber, cauldrons, kerosene and so on.

Under the city is another scene, the Xianbei cavalry came out of the camp one after another, forming cavalry squares one after another according to their respective tribes.

Budugen's big banner stands impressively in the middle of the army, and Budugen looks around. The Xianbei cavalry are dressed in iron armor, carrying strong bows and crossbows, high bridge saddles under their crotches, and double stirrups. One of the few nomads.

Without Liu Bei, his iron cavalry would have been able to create a more glorious empire than Tanshihuai Da Shanyu, even if it captured the Central Plains, it would not be impossible.

It's a pity, it's a pity that Liu Bei already exists in the Central Plains.

Budugen was in a trance when he thought of Liu Bei, and sent envoys to Nao County to persuade him to surrender as usual.

Zhang Liao didn't answer either, he took his bow and shot, one arrow shot off the stick in the envoy's hand.

The envoy was so frightened that he hurried back to the front line.

Seeing this, Budugen was furious, drew his sword and shouted: "Siege the city."

The envoy next to Budugen waved the command flag, and immediately there was the sound of bull horns, the Xianbei cavalry squirmed in a large formation, and a cavalry dismounted, took out a large wooden shield and put it on its head, and slowly attacked Nao County.

Since his defeat in Yunzhong, Budugen fled back to Danhan Mountain. In order to win the trust of Liu Yu and his remnants, he vigorously promoted Han culture on Danhan Mountain, used Han Confucian scholars, and even used Murong Deng to re-train horse infantry and siege troops. , plus the craftsmen that Xu You got from Hebei.

When Budugen entered the Central Plains this time, except for a few fortified cities that were not breached, all the small towns of the frontier army were breached by Murong Deng's troops. The arrows in the hands of the city soldiers were jokingly called "the dead with arrows" by the young commanders of the Xianbei tribes.

A large number of young and strong people with wooden shields were driven by the Xianbei people and rushed to the city of Nao County.

A sharp-eyed person saw them wearing Han-style attire, and shouted: "It is the Han people who attacked the city. Could it be that the Youzhou people have surrendered?"

The Youbin area has always been the main force against the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and its disasters are far-reaching. People from the two states also helped each other. When the Han army suddenly heard that there were people from Youzhou under the city, they all looked at their superiors for a while.

The Xianbei people mostly captured the young and strong Han people as slaves, and rarely drove the young and strong to fill the pits. Now Zhang Liao has never encountered such a situation. He felt nervous for a while, but all the troops looked at him, watching the Youzhou people rushing to the city , Time passed by in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't allow him to think too much.

Zhang Liao bit his lip suddenly, and said: "Let them go to the city, the people of Youzhou and some other comrades will definitely not really attack the city, they are just forced by Xianbei, and attack after the Xianbei people are within range."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he squeezed the sweat from his palms.

Guoyuan and Han Guan didn't say anything. After all, they never encountered such a situation. Zhang Liao didn't know whether it was right or wrong. However, if the general hesitated, it would definitely cause distrust in the hearts of the soldiers.Now that Zhang Liao has made up his mind, the best support for him is silence.

Zhang Liao watched helplessly as people in Han-style costumes entered the city without hindrance, and then a series of ladders emerged from the wooden shield.

Some people accidentally dropped the hats on their heads, exposing the Xianbei hair ornaments on top of their heads. Zhang Liao realized that he had been fooled, and immediately ordered someone to shoot arrows.

All of a sudden, thousands of arrows were fired, and the arrows fell like rain.

The strong bow, the crossbow, the bed crossbow, and the wood fell together, and there was a wail immediately below the city, and along with the wail, the blood gradually merged into small streams.

Seeing this, Murong Deng hurriedly ordered his soldiers to rush forward, and ordered them to shoot arrows towards the city to suppress it.

After the Xianbei cavalry was harassed by the Lucheng Army last night, they forcibly attacked the city again, and their spirits were only for a while.

After Zhang Liao got through the first stage of panic, the city guards began to throw the supplies on the city down the city in an orderly manner. Anyway, there are Xianbei cavalry under the city, so they are not afraid of accidental injury or waste.

The Xianbei's siege continued until the sun went down, and Budugen ordered his troops to withdraw.

In fact, Budugen still wants to attack again, after all, there is not much time left for the Xianbei people, or what the Xianbei people lack most is time.

However, Su Li, Ke Bineng and other Xianbei adults were all expressionless, and what was brewing under the expressionless eyes was anger. After a whole night of tossing last night, Budugen forcibly attacked the city and they couldn't object. City, isn't that going to die?
Budugen had no choice but to retreat.

After returning to the camp, the various ministries inspected the casualties. There were thousands of dead, most of whom were young and strong. However, thousands of Xianbei people had died and thousands were injured. If this continues, the Xianbei cavalry will die in a few days Absolutely.

In Budugen's big tent, there were many complaints from the Xianbei young commanders, but Budugen and Xu You got on their horses repeatedly to persuade them to calm down the anger of the young commanders.

In the end, Xu You distributed the wool plugs that he had already made to the young commanders to ensure that the army would have a good rest tonight. In addition, Budugen ordered several adults to assign personnel to patrol, so that he must not be surprised by the Lucheng Army's harassing plan tonight.

Bu Dugen made arrangements in the Xianbei camp well, then had dinner, entertained with the beautiful woman captured by the people below, and ordered people to carry the beautiful woman away before falling asleep soundly.

In Nao County, a few miles away from the Xianbei camp, the west gate opened, and teams of cavalry walked out quietly leading their horses, and then went around the side of the North Korean Bei camp.

At the same time, on the other side of the Xianbei camp, the infantry who had been hiding in the mountains appeared, and the assembled catapults were pulled by a large ox cart.

It was quietly installed at the location that had already been found, and God was awesome. Under the moonlight, it did not delay the craftsmen's work at all.

After the craftsmen finished organizing, soldiers successively took out the fire oil tanks that had been prepared.

Waiting quietly for the captain to give orders, the captain looked at the hourglass beside him, and the fine sand inside rustled down, but he felt that time passed so slowly.

The less the hourglass is left, the more flustered his heart is. Will the Xianbei people find out? Is the general's ambush in place?Will the Xianbei people be wiped out?
The captain was imagining that the sand flow in the hourglass was clean, but the captain stared at the empty hourglass blankly. The confidant next to him pushed him, and he woke up suddenly, and hurriedly asked: "Are you ready?"

"Ready."

Nearly a hundred slingers shouted loudly.

"Be quiet, adjust the angle, and shoot."

The captain was taken aback, this was a night attack, why so loud?

"Here!"

After a while, there was a creaking sound, and then the covered fire oil tank was ignited, and then the North Korean Bei Daying camp was thrown away with a loud noise.

The lit kerosene cans were not so obvious in the moonlight, but one after another kerosene cans passed through the air like a will-o'-the-wisp.
