Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 273, The Arrival of Reinforcements

Touman came to the tent, Tuli King was wrapped in a white cloth on the bed, and two wizards beside him were applying some special ointment to Tuli King.The anger in Touman's heart dissipated instantly, and his face was full of surprise.

The same is true for Touman's entourage. King Tuli is also the king of a dignified tribe, how could he be burned so badly by the fire.

"King Tuli, what's wrong with you?" Touman asked in surprise.

"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, when the Qin army attacked the camp last night and set fire to the camp, my king's tent happened to be directly ignited, and I couldn't escape in time." After Tuli King finished speaking, his old face under the white cloth was full of shame.

Touman looked at King Tuli. Although he knew that King Tuli was lying, he could not expose the lie of his subordinates in public, otherwise King Tuli's dignity in the tribe would be affected. King Tuli was his confidant.

"You are so self-cultivated, I will avenge this revenge for you." Touman said.

"Thank you, Great Chanyu," Tuli King said.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and the clean and clean King Hunxie walked in. After seeing Touman, he immediately knelt down and said
"Meet the Great Chanyu!"

"Tell me, what were you doing when the Qin army attacked the camp last night? Why did you let the fire spread and didn't organize soldiers to put it out!" Touman asked.

King Hunxie glanced at the horrible Tuli King lying on the bed, and said with a complicated expression
"The Qin army attacked the camp suddenly last night, and my Hunxie King's Department did not have enough water, so we could only extinguish a small part of the fire. The rest of the fire, the subordinates were helpless."

Looking at King Hunxie, Touman slammed his whip on the table beside him, and the table case carved with gorgeous patterns suddenly became two halves.
"Damn Qin Jun, Ben Shanyu decided to kill them all to sacrifice to the wolf god." Touman said coldly.

After Touman left, King Hunxie and King Tuli breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at King Tuli who was covered in burns, King Hunxie shook his head. The reason why they failed to stop the Qin army from attacking the camp last night was not what they said, but because he accepted the invitation of King Tuli to attend the banquet of King Tuli last night. After the banquet, he and the generals of King Tuli took their women to sleep.

"King Tuli, please rest and recuperate."

King Hunxie left the camp after speaking, King Tuli didn't say anything more, and let the wizard apply the ointment on himself with peace of mind.

Standing on the top of the city, Wang Ben breathed a sigh of relief looking at the emptiness below the city. After attacking the camp last night, they had completely angered the Huns. They expected a more violent attack from the Huns today. Before Wang Ben was completely relieved, he saw a large number of cavalry running towards the border town with something unknown on their backs.As the Huns cavalry approached and threw their belongings on the ground, Wang Ben knew what the other party was going to do.

A large amount of sand was thrown outside the city, and soon it was as tall as two people, and the remaining cavalry continued to throw sand.

"Shoot the arrows, don't let them build a mountain of dirt!" Wang Ben said.

When the soldiers heard Wang Ben's order, they immediately shot towards the Hun cavalry below. However, facing the rain of arrows, unlike the siege of the charge, the Hun soldiers immediately dispersed and ran out of the range of the Qin army's bows and arrows. Only some cavalry who did not have time were shot.

"Stop, wait until the enemy's soldiers have stabilized the mountain before shooting arrows," Wang Ben said.

Hun cavalrymen kept bringing sand to the outside of the border city, threw the sand, and then ran away quickly. Soon, soldiers and craftsmen came to the foot of the earth mountain, and began to build the earth mountain with the piled up sand.

Seeing the Huns soldiers who continued to pile up the mound after the attack, Wang Ben gave up the act of washing the ground with rain of arrows. Instead, he dispatched a group of elite archers to use the Huns soldiers and craftsmen as targets to shoot arrows.

In the next day, the Xiongnu continued to send soldiers to build the earth mountain, and the Qin army also kept shooting arrows to prevent the Huns from building the earth mountain, but the earth mountain was still built by the Huns in a way of continuously filling people's lives.

The same was still the case in the morning of the next day, but in the afternoon, when Wang Ben thought that the Huns would continue to build the earth mountain, the entire Hun army appeared outside the border city again. King Zuo Xian felt very helpless when he saw the earth mountain that was still half a day away.

He spent a day and a half asking his subordinates to build the earth mountain, which made Touman impatient. The Qin army's attack on the camp made Touman suffocate a lot of anger.

"King Zuoxian, please give the order to attack the city." King Hunxie said.

King Zuo Xian glanced at the golden sword guards of King Hunxie and King Tuli, and could only let the commanding soldiers around him blow the horn of the siege. Although King Hunxie and King Tuli obeyed his orders in name, they were actually sent by Touman to monitor him.

A fierce siege battle started again. Facing the attack of the Qin army's arrow rain, most of the Xiongnu soldiers who attacked the city in the first wave were killed and injured in a short while, while the rest continued to rush towards the border city. However, the distance between the Qin army's arrow rain was obviously much longer.

Wang Ben looked at the soldiers of the Huns who were constantly attacking from below, and looked at the defenders around him. Because of the dispersal of manpower, their manpower was insufficient. Although the earth mountain was not completed, it became a platform that could effectively kill the soldiers on the city wall.

As night rose, the siege battle stopped again, and the entire city wall was stained with blood. Some soldiers were carrying the bodies of the dead soldiers to the city. Wang Ben bit the white cloth to wrap the wound on his arm. Facing the Huns' desperate siege, their casualties were also very heavy.

Dunwei, General Chen and Deputy General all came to Wang Ben's side. All three of them had a lot of wounds on their bodies, especially Dunwei. Now Dunwei could only walk with the support of his spear.

"These Huns still used bronze hammers. They didn't take precautions for a while, and they were hit." Dunwei said.

"How many people can we use now?" Wang Ben asked.

"There are three thousand people left on my side who can move." Dun Ruo said.

"My place is almost three thousand." "The attack on Nancheng is relatively weak, and there are four thousand left."

"There are still 500 people who can move here." Wang Ben said with a heavy face. They suffered almost one-third of the casualties in one day, while the Huns were even more miserable. A large number of them piled up under the city as high as a hill.

Looking at the Huns who were transporting the corpses below, Wang Ben ordered:
"Let the soldiers rest well. Tomorrow the Huns' attack will be even more tragic than today."

"promise!"

The peace under the night was quickly broken, and the next day the sun just rose, and the Huns attacked again.

King Zuoxian looked at the city that could not be captured for a long time, and his whole person became a little irritable. Today is the last day he promised Touman. If he fails to capture the city, Touman will take revenge on him. For this reason, King Zuoxian asked his soldiers from the headquarters to join in the siege.

Looking at the Xiongnu soldiers who were constantly charging below, the Qin army could still occupy the top of the city, but as the Huns soldiers erected more ladders again, the Qin army and the Huns started a battle for the top of the city.

Seeing his soldiers attacking the city, King Zuo Xian immediately stood up and said

"Let the entire army press on, we must take down the city!"

The most important thing in the siege battle is the attack and defense of the city head. Whoever occupies the city head will be the final winner of this siege battle. A battle of attack and defense on the city head began again.

Wang Ben pierced the Huns in front of him with a sword. Using the corpses of the Huns in front of him as a shield, he rushed towards the Huns soldiers in front. Through the blade of the corpses, he pierced the soldiers behind him. Wang Ben pulled out his long sword and pushed them off the top of the city.

Looking at the Huns soldiers who are still rushing up from below.

"The Qin army is victorious! People are in the city!" Wang Ben shouted holding up his long sword.

"People are in the city, and the Qin army is victorious!!" The soldiers behind Wang Ben shouted.

Wang Ben led the defenders to rush towards the Huns soldiers who had climbed up the city wall. After repelling the Huns soldiers who rushed up the city wall again, there were not many defenders around Wang Ben. Looking at the Huns soldiers who were still charging below, Wang Ben looked to the southwest with determination in his eyes.

Just when Wang Ben was ready to live and die with the city, the sound of galloping horses sounded, and a dark cavalry army was rushing towards the battlefield. The galloping horses made the whole earth tremble.

Zuo Xianwang on the chariot platform suddenly stood up, looking at the cavalry rushing out from the right, Zuo Xianwang was fascinated, looked at the opponent's flag, and then his face suddenly changed and he shouted

"Send people to stop them, Qin's reinforcements are here."

On the top of the city, a soldier also found the reinforcements and shouted excitedly
"General, our reinforcements have arrived, they are the Golden Fire Cavalry of General Mengwu!!!"

Looking at Wang Ben, Mongolian characters were written on the black banner, and the black cavalry rushed towards the Hun army without stopping. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Wang Ben also became motivated again.

"Brothers, reinforcements are here, follow me to defend the city!!"
