More than 10,000 people are boundless, 200,000 Besa army can be described as a sea of people, after arriving at Hengcheng, the barbarians set up camp, just the camp surrounded Hengcheng, wrapped up water.
On the city wall, although Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muqing and others had already been mentally prepared, they couldn't help but feel a chill when they arrived at so many enemy troops.
The Plains Army had never seen so many enemies, from the generals above to the soldiers below, all of them raised their hearts to their throats.
The barbarians moved quickly, and the rear was still encamped, while the army in front was ready to attack the city.
I saw countless barbarian soldiers pouring out of the camp of the barbarian army, lined up in front of Hengcheng, and when they raised their eyes, a large area of black pressure was overwhelming, not to mention 50,000 people.
With the beating of war drums, a barbarian general rode out of the crowd and shouted loudly in front of the main gate of Hengcheng.
This side of the main gate must be the direction of the enemy's main attack, not only Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muqing and others are here, but also the first and second corps, 30,000 soldiers guard.
The other three corps were divided into three sides: east, south, and west of Hengcheng.
When the barbarian general called for battle, no one else could speak, and a commander under Zhang Zhou stepped forward and said to Xiao Muqing: "Lord Xiao, I am willing to fight" Xiao Muqing was originally a staff officer with a low position, but now he has been promoted by Tang Yin to the chief general of Hengcheng, which is naturally not what it used to be.
He invited the commander to fight, and then looked at the barbarian generals outside the city, waved his hand, and said: "Don't rush to battle, let's talk about the movement of the barbarians first."
"This" The commander glanced at Xiao Muqing strangely.
If they don't go into battle to meet the enemy, won't they become cowardly, destroy their own prestige, and increase the enemy's morale.
However, Xiao Muqing was the main general, he did not agree to fight, and the commander did not dare to go out privately.
Xiao Muqing had already made up his mind, that is, to delay, until the arrival of his own reinforcements, until Tang Yin returned, and until the barbarians couldn't stand it and gave up the siege.
Seeing that there was no one on the side of Hengcheng to fight, the barbarian general shouted more happily in front of the city, but unfortunately few people on the city wall could hear the barbarians, and naturally they didn't know what he was shouting.
After scolding for a while, the wind army still ignored it, and the barbarian general also felt bored, so he turned his horse's head and returned to his team.
He had not been back for long, and the war drums of the barbarians were beating more intensively, and at the same time there was a long trumpet sound.
Immediately afterwards, 50,000 barbarian soldiers set off in unison and pressed towards the main gate of Hengcheng.
Out of the other party is preparing to attack the city, Xiao Muqing turned his head sideways and said: "The siege of the barbarians has begun, let the soldiers prepare to release arrows" The heralds passed on his words one by one, and the wind troops on the city wall drew their arrows one after another, and put their bows on the string.
When the barbarians entered the shè distance of Hengcheng, the barbarian general who led the team shouted, and with his shout, the barbarians who had been walking slowly raised their heads to the sky and howled, raised their weapons, and ran up like wild horses on the loose, and began to charge.
The barbarians were sturdy and fast, and when they looked down from above, the black-pressed barbarians were really surging like cháo water, and in an instant, they were less than a hundred meters away from the walls of Hengcheng.
Xiao Muqing took a deep breath, raised his hand, waved forward suddenly, and shouted: "Release the arrow" The 30,000 defenders, all of them shè out of the carving, the arrows that rose into the air covered the sky, the dense arrow rain fell on the head, the camp of the barbarians suddenly screamed, and the barbarians were thrown to the ground by shè.
There was no one to support their comrades, and no one to pay attention to the wounded, and the more people who fell, the faster the brute charge would only be stimulated, and many of the wounded fell to the ground before they could get up, and they were knocked over by the brute behind and trampled under their feet.
The ferocity of the barbarians cannot be stopped with arrows, Xiao Muqing has already realized this, and the barbarians are about to rush under the city wall, instead of being nervous, he has a sneer on his face.
At the moment when the barbarians rushed to the bottom of the wall, the ground in front of the city wall suddenly sunken, and the barbarians above did not even understand what was going on, so they fell into it, and this pit was dug around the city wall, two meters wide and four meters deep, like a small moat, but there was no water in it, but it was filled with sharpened and sharp iron drills.
The barbarians fell in, and were immediately pierced by the iron drill, only in an instant, there were hundreds of barbarian corpses in the narrow pit, and the barbarians behind were real, but they couldn't stop their footsteps, the barbarians behind them were too strong to charge, and they were almost forced into the pit, and for a while, the screams under the city wall were connected.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the barbarian camp, Xiao Muqing raised his hand again and shouted: "Pour the fire oil" The fire oil poured down from the city, but the brute soldiers in the pit suffered, some died, but there were many more who were not dead, struggling to climb out of the pit, the fire oil poured down, those undead barbarians were burned and rolled on the ground, the cry was terrible, it was terrifying.
On the battlefield, either you die or I die, Xiao Muqing didn't have the leisure to sympathize with the enemy, and after pouring the oil on it, he immediately ordered the arrows to be released.
The barbarian camp has been chaotic, and it can no longer withstand the chaos of the rain of arrows on the head of the city, and there is a moat The block, the ladder could not be erected, and the brute soldiers could only retreat hastily.
The barbarians were defeated, and the wind army on the city wall worked harder with arrows, and pieces of arrows chased from behind the barbarians' buttocks, and countless barbarians fell to the ground with arrows.
The barbarian soldiers did not attack the city for a long time, but the dead and wounded barbarians exceeded 3,000 people.
Repelled the first wave of attacks of the barbarians, the wind army breathed a sigh of relief, and they were all happy, but Xiao Muqing couldn't take it easy, the moat had been exposed, and he could have a hunch that the next round of attacks by the barbarians would be sharper and more difficult to prevent.
The second round of attacks by the brutes did not start immediately, and it was clear that they were also adjusting their tactics.
On this day, the JG gods of the wind army remained extremely nervous, but surprisingly, the barbarians did not attack the city again until dark, as if they had been repulsed once, which dampened the morale of the barbarians and did not dare to attack easily.
The night was not suitable for the siege, and it was also extremely unfavorable to the besieging side, and the mood of the wind army was all relaxed, and many recruits sat around chatting and laughing, and discussing the barbarian army was nothing more than that, and they were too frightened to attack again after only one defeat.
When Xiao Muqing inspected the city wall, he heard the discussion of the wind army, and his heart couldn't help but move, the secret barbarian army would not go against the grain, come to attack the city at night, the night is not conducive to the besieging party, he knows, the barbarians naturally know, will they take advantage of their lax defense and suddenly attack Thinking of this, Xiao Muqing frowned, rolled his eyes, quickened his pace, and went back to the arrow tower to discuss with Qiu Zhen.
The battlefield is a place of wits and courage, and the difference of the main general's thoughts is enough to change the fate of both sides.
Late at night, the head of Hengcheng City was quiet, and occasionally a few patrol soldiers could be seen walking slowly.
From the third watch to the third watch, more than 20 figures quietly appeared in the camp of the barbarians.
These people were fast, and under the cover of the night, like wandering ghosts, they quietly approached the foot of the city wall.
Hidden in the moat, first listened quietly for a while, felt the wind army patrolling the city walked over, two of them quickly took out the rope, and then picked up the iron claw on it, and threw it upwards violently, the iron claw flew out, and the two iron claws hooked the arrow stacks on the city wall together, the two people pulled hard, confirmed that the hook was strong enough, and then grabbed the rope and quickly climbed to the city wall.
These twenty or so people were all outstanding spirit warriors, with quick and dexterous movements, and with the help of ropes, they all climbed the city wall.
Hiding in the shadow of the arrow battlements, they raised their eyes and looked around, the wind army was very lax in its defense at night, there were not many guards patrolling, even fewer guards standing guard, and even if there were, they were leaning against the wall and taking a nap.
The twenty or so spirit warriors lifted the rope up to each other, tied it to the other end of the city wall, and slowly slid down the wall along the rope.
They moved exceptionally well, infiltrating the city with little to no interference.

He did not continue to sneak into the city, but walked cautiously towards the city gate with his waist bent and his body against the base of the wall.
In the offensive and defensive battle, the city gate is the most important, and it is also defended by heavy troops, but it is late at night, and the soldiers of the wind army have already gone to rest and sleep, leaving only two guards to stand guard at the city gate.
After a day of intense preparations, the two guards also seemed tired, and sat on the ground, their heads drooping, motionless, as if they were asleep.
Seeing this, these spirit warriors glanced at each other, and then the two of them rushed out, and quickly approached the two guards, and with the flash of the sword, the necks of the two soldiers were slashed, blood sprayed shè, and the people also fell down softly, and they didn't even have time to scream.
Simply and neatly solved the two wind soldiers guarding the gate, more than 20 people immediately rushed to the city gate, and together they moved the huge door latch down, and then, opening the city gate, a spirit warrior flashed outside the city gate, took out the fire twist from his arms, blew it, and reported to the barbarian camp with a faint firelight.
When the warriors of their own spirit gave the signal of success, the gate of the barbarian camp immediately opened, and a group of cavalry ran out of it.
This group of cavalry numbered five thousand, and the knights and the horses below were all covered in thick armor, which was the most powerful and famous class of troops in the city-state of Besa, the heavily armored cavalry.
These cavalrymen had already made corresponding preparations, wrapping the horses' hooves with cotton cloth, so that the horses did not make a noise as much as possible during the advance, for fear of causing a vibration on the ground, and the heavily armored cavalry did not start a charge, slowed down, and slowly approached the city gate.
In the camp of the barbarian army, all the barbarian soldiers have been unsheathed and wound with arrows, just waiting for the cavalry to enter the city, taking advantage of the chaos of the defenders, besieging on all sides, and taking Hengcheng in one fell swoop.
The heavy armored cavalry has very strong combat effectiveness, although there are only more than 5,000 people, but suddenly enter the city, it is enough to turn Hengcheng upside down, and then 200,000 barbarian troops will besiege it from all sides, and they will join forces with each other inside and outside, and Hengcheng will naturally not be able to resist.
The commander of the barbarian army calculated very carefully, but he underestimated the mind of the main general on the side of the wind army
