In today's battle, the Huns lost more than [-] people, not so many even when they attacked Yanmen Pass.It has even exceeded the total number of losses since they went south this time. Of course, the most important thing is that the city has not been attacked.

"Our army's siege of the city has been greatly hindered today. Do you have any good solutions?" Yuvro glanced at the generals under the tent and said.

A general flashed out and said: "King Zuo Xian, their troops in the city will not exceed [-]. I have an idea. We will attack the city day and night, and we can consume them alive in a few days!"

Yu Fuluo heard the words and said with a smile: "Ganzixi's idea is good, order the soldiers to have a full meal and continue to attack the city overnight!"

"Yes!" The generals under the tent said in unison. , , .

230: Xue Li's reinforcements arrive

The night wind is blowing, and the weather in late autumn has brought bursts of coolness.At this time, on the city wall of Zhao County, Lin Chong, who had just rested for a while, looked anxiously at the Huns outside the city.

Today's attack by the Huns, regardless of casualties, has already overwhelmed the soldiers in the city.These soldiers were originally adapted from the Montenegrin Army, and their combat effectiveness was not strong. It was a bit extraordinary to be able to defend like this today.

But it was obvious that the Xiongnu would not give up if Zhao County could not fight this battle. He was extremely anxious when he thought of the defense tomorrow.Now he is really worried that he can't hold out until Liu Rui's reinforcements arrive.

"General, the Huns seem to be attacking the city again!" a soldier shouted loudly.

When Lin Chong heard the words, he hurriedly looked into the distance, only to see that in the darkness of the night, the countless figures of the Xiongnu army were rapidly moving under the city wall.

"Ready to fight!"

Lin Chong roared loudly, and the soldiers above the city wall picked up their weapons one after another and came to the city wall to prepare for battle.When the Huns approached the city, the soldiers on the city threw the stones and logs in their hands one after another.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Suddenly, Lin Chong heard the sound of a bow and arrow, and hurriedly crouched down to avoid it.Because of the torches on the city wall, the Xiongnu archers could accurately see the situation on the city wall, but because the city was dark, Lin Chong and the others could not see the position of the enemy archers at all.

If it wasn't for Lin Chong's quick reaction, he would probably have been injured by the arrow, and the rest of the soldiers responded slowly and fell to the ground.Without Lin Chong's order, the shield players who were guarding the back held up their shields all over the place.

At this time, it was on the official road that was still a hundred miles away from Zhao County.

Xue Rengui's army was exhausted after running around for a day and a night and could only temporarily set up camp here to rest for the night before continuing to march.

"Xue Shuai, I just went to the front to report that the Huns had arrived outside Zhao County and started to attack the city!" said Xue Rengui's lieutenant Zhong Li.

Xue Rengui frowned tightly and said, "Is there an army of [-] people?"

"Yes!" Zhong Li said.

"It's going to be troublesome now. Even if our army arrives in Zhao County tomorrow, how will we enter the city?" Xue Rengui frowned.

It would be very irrational for his own [-] horses to fight against the Hun’s [-] cavalry in the wild. Even if Xue Rengui was brave, it would be impossible to break through the [-] cavalry with [-] horses and enter the city.

Lin Chong in the city certainly did not dare to go out to the city to rescue. If it is not very likely, the city will be lost.Now Xue Rengui is in a difficult situation.

If the [-] horses he is currently bringing are all cavalry, he might try it, but among his [-] horses, there are only [-] cavalry, and the remaining [-] are all infantry and archers.

Under the iron cavalry of the Huns, infantry and archers were quite weak arms, not to mention fifteen thousand against one hundred thousand.

"Xue Shuai, there is another piece of news from Changshan!" Zhong Li said.

Xue Rengui frowned a little and said, "Is the lord's army back?"

"My lord has indeed returned to Changshan, but due to the issue of military supplies. It will take half a month for the lord's army to send troops, but the lord has already dispatched Marshal Li Jing with [-] cavalry to catch up." Zhong Li said.

Xue Rengui asked suspiciously, "What use can three thousand cavalry do?"

"The lord also passed down an order that before his army arrives, all the people who fight against the Huns, including Xue Shuai and General Lin, must obey the command of Marshal Li Jing! Do we have to wait until Li Shuai's three thousand cavalry arrives and then How to enter the city for negotiation?" Zhong Li said after a pause.

Before Xue Rengui could speak, a soldier suddenly ran in and knelt down and said, "Report to Xue Shuai, thousands of cavalrymen have come from outside the camp, and the leading general calls himself Li Jing, saying that the lord sent to assist Zhao County."

"Quickly invite Li Shuai's troops into the camp!" Xue Rengui said with a look of surprise.

Not long after, Li Jing came to the central army tent.

"The last commander has seen Li Shuai!" Xue Rengui said in front of Li Jing, bowing and salute.

Li Jing said with a smile, "Xue Shuai has ruined Li!"

"The lord has already ordered Li Shuai to take charge of all matters of assisting Zhao County this time, so he is the boss of the last commander, and this is a proper etiquette!" Xue Rengui said with a smile.

After Li Jing left Changshan, he took three thousand cavalry to Zhao County day and night.

Because they were all cavalry, and they were lightly armed, their marching speed was naturally much faster than Xue Rengui's army, so they caught up at this time.

"Xue Shuai, how's Zhao Jun's military situation?" Li Jing and Xue Rengui asked after the exchange.

Xue Rengui said: "It is not optimistic. Now the Huns have arrived outside the city and are attacking Zhao County. If our army wants to enter the city, we must rush through the battle formation of the [-] Huns!"

"How is the fighting strength of the Zhaojun garrison now?" Li Jing asked.

Xue Rengui shook his head, he knew better than anyone else the combat effectiveness of Zhao Jun's troops and horses.

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we will arrive in Zhao County tomorrow. No matter what the Huns outside the city are, we must find a way to open an opening and enter the city. Otherwise, once the Huns know our tracks, we will only be chased and beaten. 's portion!"

"But how should our army enter the city now? If we rush into the city rashly, it is likely to suffer heavy losses, and a careless move may give the Huns a chance to attack the city!" Xue Rengui said with a frown.

For a while, the two people in the camp fell into deep thought, and now they face the biggest problem in defending Zhao County is how to enter the city.

After a long time, Li Jing suddenly said, "I've figured out a way!"

"Oh?" Xue Rengui and Zhong Li both looked at Li Jing with expectant eyes.

Li Jing smiled slightly and said, "There is still one thing missing by this method. Tomorrow, Xue Shuai, you will lead the army forward. I will go to Shangdang County not far away to prepare the things that will enter the city." , . . .
