(Today’s Lantern Festival, we will add another chapter!! Thanks again to all the book friends who support the original version. It is your support that enables the author to encourage himself to write till now. Thank you everyone!!! Happy Lantern Festival to everyone again!! )

On July 15th, the [-]th year of Marquis Wei, since the Xiongnu attacked the city yesterday, no one in the naturalized defenders has the heart to slack off.

This is not only related to the safety of naturalization, but also the life of everyone. The unlucky people who were killed by the Huns yesterday have turned into a pile of coke.

Meanwhile, acting captain Wu Xiangyou, who also did not dare to slacken his mind, was now training his soldiers in the school grounds. After being severely trained by Wei Wuji yesterday, Wu Xiangyou really felt like he was in the doomsday.

So when Zhang Ju was supposed to be on duty today, he took this opportunity to vigorously train the soldiers, one was to further gather fighting spirit, and the other was to show Wei Wuji.

But today, shortly after Zhang Ju had just climbed the tower, he found smoke and dust billowing in the distance again, and at the same time there was a tremor from the ground.

Needless to say, this must be the Huns coming again, so Zhang Ju immediately put his soldiers on alert.

Yesterday Wu Xiang learned a lesson from the past, but today Zhang Ju is full of energy and does not give the Huns any opportunity to take advantage of.

But this time, the Xiongnu didn't play any tricks, and directly exposed their own ladders, and at the same time there were two siege vehicles that were rushed out.

This lineup is even bigger than yesterday. Obviously the Huns are serious again, but Zhang Ju still doesn't see the shadow of the cavalry of the Huns headquarters.

Simple is the best. After preparing for the battle, the first wave of the Huns attacked, and this time they also risked their lives to fight, directly mobilizing another huge team of nearly 7000 people with a full three thousand riders.

The pressure on these towers is relatively high. Although they are condescending, it is not so easy for the archers of the Wei army to shoot and kill the Hun soldiers who are charging.

But relatively speaking, the Wei army still had a huge advantage, because in the battles among the countries in the Central Plains, which attacking party did not have a strong bow and crossbow as a cover, and a thick armor and a large shield as a cover.

But after all, there are a lot of people. After dropping more than a hundred corpses, their vanguard army advanced to the city of Guihua, and then the ladder was erected.

The official siege battle began. It has to be said that although these ordinary tribal cavalry were much weaker in battle, they did better than the cavalry of the Huns headquarters in siege.

Even if there are stones falling from their heads and boiling water pouring down... They still gritted their teeth and climbed up, dedicating their lives to defeating the Wei army.

On the city wall, Zhang Ju's entire captain's army has come up. Although the barbarians are coming aggressively, they are still suppressed.

Wu Xiangyou, who also brought people over from the school grounds, arranged for soldiers to wait under the city wall, ready to rush to help at any time.

The Huns could lose twice, three times, or even ten times, but the naturalized Wei army couldn't afford to lose even once, and if they lost, they would be defeated.

However, Zhang Ju's troops still firmly suppressed the Huns. After all, all members of the Huns still participated in the battle, and the Huns had no chance of winning this attack.

Also aware of this fact, Ku Lun, who was beside Hu Ermu, questioned General Zuo: "General, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to capture naturalization like this!"

Seeing that Cullen hesitated to speak, he suddenly said with a wooden smile: "You want to say, since you know that small-scale attacks won't work, why did you launch an attack instead of taking naturalization in one go!"

Cullen didn't say anything, but he didn't agree with the second half of Hu Ermu's sentence, because he thought that even if he attacked with all his strength, it might be difficult to win naturalization.

Suddenly Mu Bian said: "A few days ago I sent all the ten thousand cavalry forward, in order to lure out that Wei army cavalry that appeared out of nowhere, and then force them to fight our army to the death!"

Hearing this, Cullen couldn't help but slander, because once he was also sent out as a bait, but fortunately there was no accident.

Only to hear Hu Ermu continue: "It's a pity that they didn't come out, so I can only send people to attack the city... On the one hand, it is our duty to attack the city, and on the other hand, the Great Shan Yushuai's army has secretly When we get under the Great Wall, we must create momentum and paralyze the Wei army on the Great Wall!"

Now Cullen understood that the purpose of today's siege was to create noise. After all, a siege should look like a siege.

And suddenly Mu continued: "One more thing is that attacking the city can not only consume the strength of the naturalized defenders, but also wait for an opportunity to draw out that Wei army cavalry..."

In fact, it is difficult for Kulun to agree with the first half of this sentence, because although the siege is consuming the strength of the Wei army, it is even more depleting the strength of the Huns.

Perhaps in the eyes of these Huns, those vassal tribes are really worthless, and among them...maybe including my Nanyu tribe!
Thinking of this, Ku Lun couldn't help but feel bitter, because the fall of the Xiyun Department proved this point, and the left general can attribute all the responsibility to Zhe Yuda.

It is conceivable how Zheyuda's family would be punished. They lost their lives for the Xiongnu...then they had to be punished.

Suddenly, Mu Ke didn't know what his subordinates were thinking. Seeing that it was almost time to attack today, he ordered the soldiers around him: "Send the order to retreat, the Wei cavalry may have really left!"

When Su Ermu made such a judgment, he had already made a decision in his heart, that is to officially start the siege and naturalization, and of course there will be intermittent attacks during the period.

With a sudden order, the Xiongnu soldiers who attacked the naturalization left in a hurry. After all, no one wanted to die in this place.

And the soldiers of the Wei army on the top of the city naturally gave a sigh of relief. The Huns' desperate attack was not without merit, and they even hit the city wall just now.

It took a lot of effort for Wei Jun to drive these people away.

At this time, the naturalized defenders also formally realized that the good times are over, and the days to come will be full of swords and swords.

At the same time, shortly after the Huns retreated, Wei Wuji in the general's office also officially received the military report that the Huns cavalry appeared at the Great Wall.

The military newspaper also pointed out that if you want to return to Guihua City, you must stick to it and wait for help. After the Lingbei camp repulses the Xiongnu partial division, it will immediately rush to help Guihua.

After reading this military report, Wei Wuji sneered. Some people were really dying but didn't know it. They really naively thought that the main direction of the Xiongnu's attack was naturalization.

And the false comforting words in the military newspaper made Wei Wuji feel even colder. Since these people knew that this was where the Huns were attacking, they should rush to help them as soon as possible.

But these people said that they would wait to repel the Xiongnu's side forces before coming to support themselves, which makes no sense at all.

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!" Wei Wuji said inwardly.

He knew that this was not what Chen Wanyun meant. Chen Wanyun simply couldn't resist the pressure from the court and the aristocratic family.

…………

Inside the Great Wall, the defenders everywhere looked relaxed. Who didn't know that the main attack direction of the Xiongnu was naturalization, and the defenders at Zhongpingguan were naturally the same.

What's more, the detectives have already sent back a clear message that a war has broken out in Guihua City, and the flames of war have not extinguished for days.

As for the Xiongnu partial division found outside the Great Wall, it is said that several generals have made a conclusion that these people should have come to prevent the Wei army from going out of the Great Wall to support naturalization.

Therefore, the guards on the Great Wall can rest easy. Anyway, even if they want to go out to support, the cavalry will go out to support them. Their infantry only need to guard the city gate.

But they didn't know that the Xiongnu army had already arrived ten miles outside Zhongping Pass, and all the Wei army scouts had been cleared along the way.
