At this time, Tang Yin did not know the news that Liang Qi and shangguanyuan had made a great success in the sneak attack on Tongmen. The 400000 Tianyuan army had arrived in the county city of Lehu County, Xibai.

Four hundred thousand troops surrounded the huge West hundred cities, surrounded the city and set up strongholds. Looking up, they could see one camp after another, and could not see the edge at a glance. In the camp, flags were fluttering, embroidered ribbons were flying, and warriors were like a forest. Their momentum could only be seen in the war between vassal states.

When the Tianyuan army didn't arrive at Xibai City, Geng Qiang didn't feel much. Now that the army is under the city, Geng Qiang stands on the head of the city and looks out. He can't help but be secretly frightened. There is a chill behind his back. At this time, he regrets that he really shouldn't have taken into account his face and insisted on staying in Lehu county to resist Tang Yin. There are so many Tianyuan army, Can your army with less than 100000 resist it?

Seeing Geng Qiang's ugly face, he looked straight at the enemy camp, clenched his fists tightly, and his nervous mood naturally revealed. A counselor named Qu rang next to him advised: "don't worry, sir. My West hundred cities are high and thick, and the city defense is solid. Even if the enemy has a million troops, it's not enough to be afraid!"

Qurang is one of the main battle factions under Geng Qiang. At the beginning, Geng Qiang wanted to stay in Xibai city to resist the Tianyuan army, which coincided with his intention. Yu Jun, another Counselor, shook his head and said to youYou, "the Tianyuan military horn says 500000 people, and our army has just 80000. Once a war begins, how can we resist?"

Hum! Qu rang sneered at Wen Yan. On the surface, he pretended to be calm and asked, "Mr. Yu Jun means..."

"When your highness joined hands with 400000 Ning troops to attack Tianyuan County on the second day of the lunar new year, he was defeated by the Tianyuan army before even reaching the Tianyuan pass. Your highness died and more than half of the 400000 Ning army was lost. It can be seen that the Tianyuan army is by no means a mob, and Tang Yin is by no means an easy sorrow. Now the Tianyuan army is in the city, and our army wants to resist 500000 with 80000. It's unrealistic. I hope you will be safe as soon as possible Row! " Yu Jun said positively.

"What are the arrangements?" Geng Qiang glared at Yu Jun.

"Before the two sides fight, if you can take the initiative to offer the city, surrender to the Tianyuan army and turn fighting into friendship, it will be a blessing for hundreds of thousands of people in the city and our soldiers. Tang Yin will also put you in high position. If the two sides fight, there will be no room for maneuver. At that time, even if you want to surrender..."

It didn't mean Jun finished his words. Qu let his angry face blush and shouted, "bold! Before the two armies, you advised adults to surrender to the enemy. What's your heart?" As he spoke, he turned to Geng Qiang, bowed and said in a deep voice, "my Lord, Yu Jun's evil words confuse the public and shake the morale of the army. My Lord should be punished by military law!"

Geng Qiang looked at Qu rang and Yu Jun, and sighed secretly. The two counselors were his confidants. They fought one war and demoted the other. It sounded reasonable, but from the heart, Geng Qiang still hoped to fight the first war.

He was silent for a moment, waved and said, "I am deeply grateful to the king. Even if I die in battle and die, I will never betray the king. No matter who it is in the future, I can't say anything about surrender, otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face ruthlessly!" With that, he glared at Yu Jun, shook his robe sleeves and walked down the city.

"Hehe, Mr. Yu Jun, did you hear what adults said?" Qu rang glanced at Yu Jun triumphantly and quickly followed Geng Qiang away.

Qu rang and Yu Jun are Geng Qiang's confidants, but they have always disagreed, and their opinions are always at odds. They are intriguing and secretly competing.

Yu Jun looked at Geng Qiang's back, looked up to the sky and sighed. He murmured, "the mantis arm is the car, killing himself. The Lord is fatuous, and thousands of people suffer!"

Hearing this, all the soldiers standing guard around shrunk their necks. Someone came forward and gently advised: "Sir, never say that again, in case it reaches the ears of adults..."

Yu Jun waved his hand, shook his head and sighed, and slowly walked down the city.

Geng Qiang did not listen to Yu Junzhi's advice and made a posture of sticking to the city.

At the same time, Tang Yin was also discussing the strategy of attacking the city with his soldiers.

Although the Tianyuan army is fierce and powerful, it also has hidden dangers. Poor food and grass is a big problem.

Liang Qi and shangguanyuan asked the commander of the 100000 Sanshui army to sneak into Tongmen and take away a large amount of grain and grass, which made the grain and grass reserves of the Tianyuan army very tight, and then burned a batch by mao'an. The problem of insufficient grain and grass was immediately exposed. Now, Tianyuan County, Guannan County Jin Guangjun has transported all the grain reserves to the army, but even so, the grain in the army is only enough for one month, that is, the war must be ended within one month, otherwise, the Tianyuan army will be in a dilemma of no food to eat.

Because of the problem of food and grass, all the officers and men are in a very urgent mood. In the account of the Chinese army, the generals led by Xiao MuQing suggest that we must attack Xibai city immediately, strive to win Xibai within three days, and then attack Yancheng with all our strength.

Tang Yin felt that what the generals said was reasonable and immediately issued an order for the whole army to attack the city.

Before the siege, the Tianyuan army also sent an emissary as usual, holding a white flag to the West hundred cities, and asked Geng Qiang to come out and speak. When Geng Qiang went to the city, the messenger was moved with emotion, told with reason, and advised Geng Qiang to surrender the city. Geng Qiang is determined to fight. How can he listen to the words of the messenger of the Tianyuan army and immediately order to shoot the envoy to death with random arrows.

The poor messenger became the living target of Peng army under Xibai City, and even people and horses were shot into hedgehogs. Geng Qiang shot the messenger of the Tianyuan army, which completely lost the possibility of negotiation between the two sides. Tang Yin issued a general order. The plain army attacked the east gate of Xibai City, Chifeng army attacked the west gate, and the directly subordinate army attacked the north gate. A small group of Tianyuan army harassed the west gate and attacked all sides.

As Tang Yin's general passed on, the long-distance Tianyuan army immediately went into the fierce battle of attacking the city without any rest.

This battle is very difficult for both sides. The city defense of Xibai city is indeed strong. It itself is a county city, and the city wall is high and thick, which is extremely solid. Moreover, since the Tianyuan Army started its troops, Geng Qiang has been strengthening the city defense of Xibai City, making the city wall more than half a long higher than the original foundation. There are many city defense weapons such as sticks, stones and so on at the head of the city. 80000 soldiers and men are commanding and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The siege equipment of the Tianyuan army has now been transported to the army. These large siege weapons, such as stone catapults, broken city crossbows, broken army crossbows and movable arrow towers, pose a great threat to the defenders at the head of the city. The rush cars specially breaking the city walls and thunderbolt cars specially breaking the city gates also bring great pressure to the city defense.

The two sides fought, arrows flew back and forth, boulders shuttled in the air, and a large number of soldiers fell under the fierce fire of arrows and crossbows. Countless soldiers were smashed into meat cakes by flying boulders. There were cries of killing and screams on the battlefield, with flames everywhere, thick smoke rolling, and four walls. There were life and death battles everywhere, not to mention under the city, The bodies piled up in the moat alone were covered with a whole layer, and the river was stained with scarlet blood.

It was a tragic battle in which the enemy lost one thousand and I lost eight hundred.

The Tianyuan army attacked the city from the morning until late at night. The army attacked the city one corps after another. Many corps have fought three rounds, and the soldiers and soldiers have been exhausted to the extreme.

The situation in Xibai city was not so good. 80000 soldiers could not withstand the attack of 400000 Tianyuan army on all sides. In the case of insufficient manpower, Geng Qiang directly ordered the personal guards around him to catch people in the city. As long as they were strong men, they took them all to the head of the city without even armor. They just sent a spear and immediately participated in the city defense.

With Geng Qiang's almost crazy persistence, the Tianyuan army took the lead in retreating. Tang Yin accepted Zhang Zhe's advice and temporarily stopped the siege and took a rest first. The retreat of the Tianyuan army made the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield breathe a sigh of relief.

After only one battle, only 50000 of the 80000 garrisons in the West hundred city were left. Countless strong men died in the war, and 50000 of the Tianyuan army were killed and injured. Looking at the battlefield, there were corpses and weapons all over the ground, as well as arrows inserted into the ground like straw. Such a fierce battle is rare.

It can be said that the fortification of Xibai city is beyond the expectation of Tang Yin and his generals. It is fast to defeat Xibai city in three days, even ten days or even a month.

"Fuck!"

In the account of the Chinese army, Shangguan yuan Biao pulled his neck and scolded: "if Geng Qiang hadn't ignored the life and death of the people in the city and captured a large number of people to resist our army, we would have attacked the city!"

Geng Qiang used coercion to catch strong men to participate in the city defense, which really surprised everyone. Xibai is a county city, which is the largest city in Lehu county. There must be more than 500000 people in the city alone. Apart from half of the women, and then half of the old, young, sick and disabled, there must be more than 100000 young people. If Geng Qiang catches all of them to participate in the city defense, it is equivalent to more than doubling the defense capacity of Xibai city.

At this time, even Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, Zongyuan and other extremely smart advisers were all sad. They felt that the war would be difficult to end in a short time. If not, it would have to evolve into a protracted tug of war and war of attrition. Of course, this is the most unacceptable war for the Tianyuan army at present.

Tang Yin paced back and forth before the handsome case. After walking for a while, he stopped and looked around at the people in the tent. Youyou said, "no matter how strong the defense is, it will also have weaknesses. Even if it is a piece of iron, it will also have weaknesses. Everyone, who has a plan to break the city?"

Hearing the speech, the people bowed their heads one after another, and no one spoke.

Seeing this, Tang Yin was stuffy in his chest. He said that when the city was attacked, everyone spoke with one voice. Now the attack was frustrated, and they all became mute. He took a deep breath and said, "the West hundred cities are strong. If our army can't attack for a long time, the army will have to run out of food and lose without war. Since everyone has no good plan to destroy the city, let's withdraw and go back to Jinguang county first!"

"No, my Lord!" As soon as they heard this, the people raised their heads and stopped in unison.
