Outside the city, the originally quiet and dark night is now very lively, shouting and killing, the loud sound of rushing cars hitting the city gate, the sound of rolling wood and rolling stones, and some arrows flying in the sky, sighing, every time the sound appears, countless lives die here.
And barrels of fire oil turned the small city of Hutu into a real Shura field.
The smell of burnt corpses was everywhere around Hugh Slaughter, and this smell was not barbecue, but even if it was, when you roasted this barbecue into something like charcoal, you would never think it smelled good.
The fire oil flame was burning, Qiang Hu finally withdrew his troops for the first time, and there were countless corpses left under the battlefield, as well as a few unlucky eggs tumbling in the burning fire oil, but in the end, these unlucky eggs also returned to dust and dust, and there was no sound at all.
Calm has returned to the city, but no one can really find peace.
On the city wall, the soldiers who survived the catastrophe gasped, and they had to swallow a mouthful of saliva when they looked at their former comrades who were shot by arrows beside them.
It's miserable Even though these soldiers from Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County have experienced countless battles, they have never encountered such a tragic one today, and even if they have encountered it, it is the enemy who is so miserable, and it has never been their own tragedy.
Of the original 60,000 men, at least 5,000 were lost in the fierce siege of the city for an hour or two, and not counting the wounded soldiers.
Hugh slaughtered the soldiers who defended the city, and lost almost 10,000 people, or even more.
Of course, the defending side lost 5,000 people, and the combat power lost 10,000 people, and the losses of Qianghu were naturally even more heavy, especially at this time, there were still rolling stones and rolling wood and fire oil in the city of Hugh, and the losses of Qianghu were increasing geometrically, which is why the king of Xiqiang wanted to withdraw his troops first.
There is always a time when the oil goes out.
After returning to count the casualties, the king of Xiqiang found that in the short period of time just now, nearly 15,000 Qianghu warriors were lost under the city of Hugh.
This loss is not small, and King Xiqiang's face looks a little gloomy.
Quick Can't put it off It's not that he can't afford to drag it out, but if he drags it any longer, the losses of his soldiers will be greater, and if he wants to lose less, he will have to endure a period of pain, and after passing the pain, it will be victory.
King Xiqiang summoned the great patriarch and the main tribal leaders to discuss tactics with them.
Of course, of course, there were no tactics needed for such a thing as a siege, and the King of Xiqiang was just releasing his determination to a quick battle to them.
Up to now, the core army of the Xiqiang King has not really attacked, and now the people who are besieging the city are all warriors under the leaders of the major tribes.
In order to convince these reckless men, the king of Xiqiang took a lot of trouble and promised some conditions, and finally let the great patriarch and the clan leader return to their respective camps to prepare for a new round of offensive.
This wave of siege, the intensity is even greater than the previous three points, when the Han people are almost used up the wood and oil, rush up, and completely pull down the small city in front of them Then kill all the Han people inside There are no soldiers in the three counties of Liangzhou, how to confront themselves When the time comes, I will meet with Prince Xiangli, and Gu Zang will also be in my hands, and at that time, the three counties of Liangzhou will be the territory of my Qiang people.
By now, there were suddenly more twists and turns in King Xiqiang's heart.
Since the three counties of Liangzhou have been captured, why do you want to go back to Yuezhi City There are fertile water and grass here, there are Han craftsmen, Han beauties, and Han food, occupy this place, then in the future, I can directly confront the Xianbei royal court and compete for the status of the overlord of the grassland As soon as he thought of this, King Xiqiang's heart was a little hotter again.
This battle must be won, and it must be won The oil was gradually extinguished, and the horn of Qianghu sounded again, and the soldiers on the city of Hutu hurriedly ate some dry food, drank a few sips of water, and immediately picked up the bow and arrow in their hands, picked up the spear in their hands, and prepared themselves to start.
However, there are not many rolling logs piled up on the city walls, and there are only a few barrels of fire oil, and everyone in the city has this question.
Can you keep it?
It's only the first day, and it's been less than two hours Qianghu didn't give Hugh much time to feel the people in the city, they roared like wild beasts, and they had reached a place where the soldiers on the city wall could see it.
Woohoo Arrows fly A new battle for the defense of Yigong has begun again.
And outside another small city dozens of miles away from Xiu Tu, there are also wars, but compared to Xiu Tu City, the situation of Guzang City is obviously better.
At the very least, there are neat piles of rolling wood and rolling stones on the city wall, and barrels of fire oil are placed on the side of the city wall, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.
Gu Zang's situation was much better than that of Hugh Tucheng, but Hao Zhao on the high platform of the city wall was still frowning.
In front of Guzang City, there are not many fortresses left, and the soldiers in the fortress naturally suffered heavy casualties.
If these fortresses in front of them are broken again, then there will be moats and moats in front of these Qianghus.
Hao Zhao did not release water in the moat trench, and the trench was several zhang deep, and if he fell into it, he would be pierced by the bamboo tube inside, and he would die.
However, they could not bear the fact that the Qianghu would fill the trenches with corpses.
At that time, this group of Qianghu will directly approach the city wall, and after that, it will be a real bloody fight.
Hao Zhao was estimating on the side, thinking about how he could hold on to ten days.
The soldiers outside the city shed blood, but in Guzang City, in the governor's mansion, a group of well-dressed literati and scholars, the family giants had their own thoughts in their hearts at this time.
"Junhou, I don't know how many days the grain and grass in Guzang City can last" Cao Chong looked at Cao Shuo, and this time he finally said what Cao Shuo wanted to hear.
"Sir, don't worry about this, there is an east warehouse in Guzang City, and the grain and grass in it are enough to supply the people of the city, so you don't have to worry about this matter in a short time."
Cao Shuo breathed a sigh of relief lightly and continued: "Since that's the case, it's not too bad. ” Cao Shuo seemed to be relieved a lot, and of course Cao Chong couldn't reassure Cao Shuo, and when Cao Shuo didn't finish his breath, he immediately said: "However, at this time, there are only 8,000 guards in Guzang City, and I heard that there are 100,000 Qianghu in Chengxi City, 8,000 against 100,000, but Ben Hou doesn't know how long Guzang can hold on." eight thousand lakh Not only Cao Shuo, but everyone present had a change in their faces.
A city is a barrier, of course, but it is also effective in defending against enemies similar to yours, and when the siege of the city has five or ten times as many enemies as you, or even more, the city is completely unbearable.
Quantitative change causes qualitative change, this sentence is not said casually, everyone present has seen the world, this truth is naturally understood, the truth is understood, and the despair in the heart is naturally more intense.
"Junhou, we are in the siege at this time, I don't know if we can use these 8,000 soldiers to take us out of the siege."
Breakthrough Cao Chong immediately shook his head.
Not to mention that the siege of 8,000 people is a fool's dream, even if he can break through, Cao Chong will not let this group of people break through.
Let these people break out, how can I pick their wool So Cao Chong said with a bitter face: "Everyone, don't hide it, it is a difficult thing for these 8,000 soldiers to defend the city, if they leave, where will the hundreds of thousands of people in Guzang City be placed, we are parents and officials, we have to think about the people, how can we abandon the people for personal life and death, this point, even if Ben Hou dies with the people in Guzang, he will not do anything to abandon them." ” Since ancient times, only routines have won people's hearts.

Liu Bei's routine Cao Chong naturally wants to learn a hand ruthlessly, and it feels unusual to pretend to be forced under the gaze of so many big guys.
Fame is accumulated little by little in this way.
Although the representatives of the family scoffed at Cao Chong's words, they were speechless in opposition.
Although the family regards the people as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, this sentence is okay to say in private, and if someone says such a thing on such an occasion, then you may "leave a name in history".
No one wants to be the object of spurning for posterity.
Cao Shuo coughed twice, stepped forward to Cao Chong and continued: "Then wouldn't we just wait here to die?"
Trapped in a small city, how can these family representatives stand it?
"Extremely, if you are only trapped in the city, it is better to go out of the city and kill Qiang Hu vigorously."
"Hahaha, everyone, why are you afraid of death, since you want to die, it's better to die happily, you might as well feast and drink together, it's better to be drunk and dream of death."
When he said this, this guy's eyes drifted to the veiled Linghu.
Ling Humei took a sip fiercely.
This guy Ling Humei naturally knew that he was the representative sent by the Huang family in Jiuquan, Dunhuang, surnamed Huang Minghua, and the word was heavy.
This son has some reputation in Liangzhou, but he is famous for being troubled and crazy, and he is after the family, if it weren't for the family, he would have been in a different place long ago.
Since he is a madman, Huang Hua naturally has two brushes, first-class literary endowment, although he doesn't look serious, but the business handed over to him by the Huang family is well managed, and Ling Humei is known as the leader in Liangzhou.
"Heavy light, don't talk nonsense" Cao Shuo immediately reprimanded Huang Hua, but asked the latter to shut his mouth immediately.
Although Huang Hua is from the Huang family in Jiuquan, his mentor is Cao Shuo, if it weren't for Cao Shuo covering Huang Hua, with Huang Hua's temperament, how could he gain the trust of the Huang family, and how could he come to meet Cao Chong on behalf of the Huang family "The prince has always been confident, so don't entertain me and wait, if you have an order, you can say it, we are united, and we may not be able to revive the dead situation."
Looking at Cao Shuo's eyes, Cao Chong's eyes narrowed, suspecting that this guy had seen his disguise.
Cao Chong coughed, and had to throw out something real.
"In fact, it is not really exhaustive, there is a tunnel in the city, which can go straight to the outside of the city" Before Cao Chong finished speaking, the eyes of these families lit up.
"Since there is an authenticity, why didn't the prince say it earlier, then we can all escape."
Cao Chong coughed again and waved his hand at the family representative.
"If that's the case, how can Ben Hou be so sad" The man paused, and the smile on his face faded.
"Could it be that there is a problem here" Cao Chong nodded and said, "There is indeed a difficulty, although this is a tunnel and it also leads to the outside of the city, it is only less than a mile away from the city. ” Speaking of this, Cao Chong chose to be silent for a while.
Those present also knew what the concept of a mile road was.
One mile of road, proving that if you go out, you are still surrounded by enemies, and if you want to get out, you must go through a fight.
"Since it's still in the enemy's encirclement, what's the use of this tunnel?"
Cao Chong shook his head.
"It is naturally impossible for us to escape, but we can send the dead out, although it is still under siege, but if we fight to the death, there are still people who can escape, as long as they escape, they can bring me reinforcements."
Although I can't get myself out of danger, it would be a good thing if I could call for reinforcements.
"Since this is the case, then the prince will arrange it earlier, the sooner the reinforcements arrive, and the sooner we will get out of danger."
Hearing this, Cao Chong's face was still much sad, Ling Fox's eyes were sharp, and he stepped forward to Cao Chong and said, "Since you can ask for reinforcements, why is the prince sad?"
"Hey" Cao Chong sighed deeply and said: "It's not that I'm sad, but Benhou doesn't know, even if the dead rush out, can I find reinforcements later." ” "What do you say?"
"Qianghu invaded, there are more than 200,000 troops in hand, since there are only 100,000 outside Guzang, then, at this time, Guzang or Dunoze coalition army camp must also have Qianghu attack, the dead rush out, if we can't bring reinforcements, then we can only wait to die."
There were only tens of thousands of Qianghu attacked by Guzang City, and there were only more than 100,000 Qianghu combined, and Cao Chong naturally knew the news, and the reason why he wanted to exaggerate the numbers was naturally to make these family representatives feel that the situation was more critical.
If you don't let these family representatives really feel that they are dead and alive, how can they let the iron rooster pluck its feathers After Cao Chong's words were finished, the people in the lobby fell silent.
"The prince doesn't need to worry, the little girl can write a letter to my father, informing Gu Zang that it is in danger, and it will not be a problem for the family to transfer another 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus the coalition troops that were originally coming, there are still tens of thousands of reinforcements in Jiuquan County."
After Ling Humei spoke, Huang Hua immediately spoke.
No one doesn't want to live, and so do crazy talents, since they can live, they naturally have to seize every opportunity.
"In this case, I can also write to inform my family, adding another 3,000 soldiers and horses, it should not be a problem, Jiuquan is close to Wuwei, if you are fast, you may not be able to go to Wuwei between ten days."
Linghu Mei Huang Hua spoke, and the representatives of the family behind him spoke one after another.
For a while, there were 50,000 troops in the lobby, plus the coalition troops from Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County, there were 110,000 in total Seeing these people expressing their positions one after another, Cao Chong finally had a smile on his face.
"For the sake of the overall situation, Cangshu feels your righteousness."
Saying that, Cao Chong's tears flowed down directly.
"The prince doesn't have to be like this, in this autumn of critical survival, we must unite as one to have a glimmer of life."
Cao Chong glanced at Ling Humei gratefully, but two red clouds rose slightly on the latter's face.

Forcing out the strength of the family is what Cao Chong has to do.
If you don't get all the weapons of the family out and destroy them all, the situation in the future will not be easy to handle Cao Chong thought in his heart, and besides, what he wanted was more than that.
He wants more.
But Cao Chong looked at Cao Shuo, who was frowning, and felt that his future actions might not be too smooth.
That's bad news.
However, Cao Chong's main purpose has been achieved, and even if he doesn't get the benefits later, it won't hurt.
Of course, if all the benefits can be obtained, it is naturally the best
