Fan Jun gloated and left, Zhen Jian walked up to Qin Xueyang with an embarrassed face, forced out a smile, and said, "I actually ......
It's not you. ” Qin Xueyang glared at him fiercely, and snorted coldly: "Didn't I let you stay in Xiangyang after the matter was completed, why did you come back?"
” Zhen Jian smiled and said, "I made a mistake, I was actually going to Xiangyang, and I accidentally swam to Fancheng." ” "Lying."
Qin Xueyang glanced at him and sighed leisurely, "Isn't it good to live well?"
” Zhen Jiandao: "Don't worry, Fancheng will be fine, even if it is a Val Shu siege, it is much easier to deal with than last time, last time we only killed 5,000 people, 8,000 people were seriously injured, and now this group of seriously injured people has recovered, of which 1,300 are disabled, that is to say, in the last battle, we only lost 6,300 fresh troops, and there are 23,700 people left, plus 20,000 newly trained reserve troops, that is, 43,000 troops, which is stronger than before, and ah, the Huns lost the naval army, The troops in the southern military camp area don't need to guard the south city wall, you can go to other city walls to reinforce, and our chances of victory are much better than before. ” "You don't understand."
Qin Xueyang let out a long sigh and said slowly, "Do you think that the last time was the most fierce attack of the Hun army?"
” Zhen Jian was stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Isn't it?"
” "Of course not."
Qin Xueyang said slowly, "Whether it is the Xiongnu or the Liang State, they will not use all their strength against Fancheng, there are some tricks, they are all reserved to prepare to deal with Xiangyang, if they are forced to be in a hurry, they will definitely use these tricks in advance to deal with Fancheng." ” Zhen Jian's heart sank when he heard this, and he frowned and asked, "What tricks will they use?"
” Qin Xueyang said: "The most effective and commonly used trick is to set fire to the city, which the Huns call fire thunder." ” Zhen Jian's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he set fire to the city?
This kind of trick is too cruel, and in this way, the people will also suffer.
"You're hurt?"
Qin Xueyang suddenly reached out and touched Zhen Jian's chest and arm, Zhen Jian looked down and saw that there was a scar on his left arm, which was bleeding, as if it had been scratched by a nail or something.
Qin Xueyang's hand touched Zhen Jian's arm, Zhen Jian trembled for no reason, Qin Xueyang also withdrew his hand as if he was electrocuted, his face was a little red, he coughed lightly, and said, "Don't get me wrong, you are under my command after all, you are injured, I need to care about it." ” Zhen Jian felt that what she said was a bit against his will, he could see from Qin Xueyang's eyes just now that it was not just Shangguan's concern for his subordinates, but he was also not easy to break, and nodded: "Thank you for your concern." ” Qin Xueyang kept peeking at Zhen Jian, because at this moment Zhen Jian was naked, and his perfect figure was revealed at the moment, although his muscles were not very terrifying, they were very evenly distributed on his body, there was almost no trace of fat, and every muscle of his was angular, which was really attractive.
Qin Xueyang peeked at it twice, and Zhen Jian suddenly smiled and asked, "What are you staring at me?"
” "Who's staring at you!"
Qin Xueyang immediately looked away and denied it.
Zhen Jian smiled and said, "Just look at it, and don't admit it yet." ” "You put ......"
Qin Xueyang almost burst into foul language, but fortunately stopped the car in time and changed his words, "You don't want to talk nonsense, why should I stare at you, what do you look good at, hurry back and get dressed, what do you look like with your body exposed!"
” Zhen Jian couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and said: "Are you mistaken, when you were in the Chinese military camp before, most of the soldiers in the camp didn't wear shirts, why didn't you say it?"
” "It was before, it's now, hurry back!"
Qin Xueyang said, led the horse and turned to leave.
Zhen Jian shrugged his eyebrows helplessly, and walked back behind her unhurriedly.
Back in the barracks, Zhen Jian saw Ye Qiu, and seeing Zhen Jian come back safely, Ye Qiu, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief, originally he was going to ask Zhen Jian about the details of the raid on the enemy camp, but Zhen Jian was too tired, so he didn't bother Zhen Jian and let Zhen Jian rest.
After a night of silence, Zhen Jian got up the next day and learned that the pontoon bridge had begun to be rebuilt.
Zhen Jian rode to Linhanmen, only to see that it was very lively, all the soldiers in the southern military camp were doing coolies, carrying wooden boats and planks one after another into the river, and the craftsmen of the armament department were busy directing to fix the wooden boats and iron chains, and then lay wooden planks on them, which had already been laid two or three zhang.
Not only are they in Fancheng repairing the pontoon bridge, but Xiangyang City on the opposite side is also repairing the pontoon bridge, going hand in hand, Zhen Jian stepped forward and asked a craftsman, how long will it take to get this pontoon bridge ready, the craftsman said that it will only take half a month at most, Zhen Jian was very happy when he heard this, if the Hun army did not attack the city in this half a month, it would be good. ………………………………………………………………………………………… In the Chinese army of the Xiongnu army, Val Shu is discussing with the generals, last night they received the news, all the ships of the navy were burned by the Chu army, none of them were left, this is simply bad news for them, this morning received the news again, the Chu people have begun to rebuild the pontoon bridge, once the pontoon bridge is completed, Xiangfan is connected, even if they spend another three months, it is impossible to take Xiangfan.
The first thing on the agenda was to discuss the attack on Fancheng, which could not be consumed any longer, if the Chu army repaired the pontoon bridge, they would have no chance, and the siege time was set for tomorrow.
The next step is to discuss how to execute the commander of the naval army, Borchi, some generals think that Borchi should be executed, and some generals think that Borchi burned the Chu army's pontoon bridge before, and now although the warship has been burned carelessly, it should be able to offset the merits.
Valshu obviously didn't intend to let Bolch go, burning the pontoon bridge was what Bolchi should do as a commander of a naval army, this was his duty, even if there was merit, it was impossible to offset the merits, the warship was destroyed, so that the whole army fell into a passive situation, which made Valshu very annoyed.
In the end, someone proposed that Borchi should make meritorious service and lead the naval army to take the lead in attacking the city, you know, the naval army was also trained by the Hun warriors, and their combat power was also very high, since there were no warships, then it would be used to attack the city.
Valshu nodded in agreement, he was not going to wait any longer, and immediately conveyed the military order, and the armies went back to prepare, and early tomorrow morning, a full-scale siege began.
Early the next morning, the sentry post of Fancheng found that the enemy army moved frequently, and immediately reported to Qin Xueyang, Qin Xueyang climbed to the top of the city to take a look, and immediately ordered all the armies to prepare to meet the enemy, the combat force and the logistics army began to be busy, the cauldron was erected on the city wall, the fire began to boil water, the water was mixed with dung water, and boxes of arrows were moved to the city, and the army was tense and waited for the arrival of the enemy army at the head of the city.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for countless armies to start rushing out of the Hun camp, surging towards Fancheng like a tide, and those reserve troops who had never experienced a war trembled nervously.
The enemy forces are getting closer and closer, and a big battle is imminent.
Finally, into the firing range, the head of the city Chu army began to shoot arrow rain, the Huns below have propped up their shields, braving the rain of arrows to move forward, the north city wall faces the Huns in the middle of the army, but also the place where the enemy has invested the most troops, the first batch of enemy troops is the water army led by Borchi, under the rain of arrows, there are constantly soldiers falling to the ground with arrows, although there are shields, but the shields are just to reduce the casualty rate, under such a dense rain of arrows, it is impossible to get close to the city without any damage.
After the enemy approached, they threw a bamboo ladder into the moat, everyone stepped on the ladder and came over, the movement was slow, the moat was a good thing, and when the Huns crossed the moat, it was useless to have a shield, and many people were shot.
Finally, the enemy army arrived at the city, set up a ladder, and began to climb the city, and the Chu army pushed the ladders away one by one to prevent the Hun army from coming up.
Because there are more troops in Fancheng this time than last time, although it is only more than 10,000 more, the effect is obviously different.
The catapults had already entered the firing range and began to throw stones at the head of the city, and the Xiongnu crossbowmen were also shooting arrows at the city, covering the soldiers in front of them to climb the city, which lasted for a stick of incense, and no one could climb half of the city wall, and the process was much slower than the last siege.
After receiving a report from the front, Valshu immediately ordered: "Pass my military order, all catapults, and throw fire and thunder!"
” Hearing this, the general beside Val Shu exclaimed: "Commander, isn't the fire and thunder going to be kept for use against Xiangyang, if it is used here, what will Xiangyang do?"
” "Ben Shuai fights, and it's not your turn to point fingers."
Valshu glared at the general coldly and said in a loud voice, "With fire thunder!"
” "Yes!"

The herald immediately went to give the order.
It didn't take long for the Huns' logistics army to drag countless grass balls in horse-drawn carts, these were not grass balls, the outside was hay, and the inside was a fire oil drum.
I saw that they soaked these grass balls in the oil of fire, and then took them out, put them on the net pocket of the catapult, and lit them with torches, and the whole ball of grass immediately burned into a fireball, but the barrel was sealed, so the oil in the oil barrel was not ignited.
The catapult threw the fireball high, and the fireball dragged a long black smoke tail in the sky, drawing an arc, like a meteorite falling from the sky, and smashed on the city wall, "popping", the fire oil barrel shattered, and the fire oil sputtered everywhere, at the same time, the flames on the fireball ignited the fire oil, and suddenly, a section of the city wall was swallowed by the flames, and seven or eight soldiers were wrapped in the fire, wailing and screaming, rolling all over the ground.
Seeing this, the other soldiers lifted the buckets they had prepared, first extinguished the fire on everyone's bodies, and then poured water on the fire, trying to extinguish the fire, but the flames that were ignited by the flames really could not be extinguished with a little water.
In this siege, the offensive of the east and west cities was not strong, and the enemy concentrated most of its forces on the north city wall.
Qin Xueyang was also busy directing the battle here.
The fire and thunder of the Hun army were really powerful, and when they fell on the city wall, they could turn a section of the city wall into a sea of fire, fly over the city wall, and fall into the city, and they could set all the houses on fire, and the people in the city ran in all directions, wailing and weeping, and watched their homes become a sea of fire.
This battle lasted for nearly three hours, although there was fire and thunder to help, but the Chu army desperately defended the city, and finally held the city.
In the evening, the fire in the city was finally extinguished, and the original houses had become a mess, still emitting bursts of white smoke.
Zhen Jian led the army to work hard, and finally settled the people who had lost their houses, and walked in the resettlement camp, only to see the people with pain and grief on their faces, because the camp tent was really not enough, and there were still people who could only rest outside the tent by relying on the tent.
A mother with her young child in her arms, leaning against the tent, resting with her eyes closed, tears still in the corners of her eyes; A pair of gray-haired old men leaned against each other and fell asleep in their tents, as if they were having nightmares, frowning in their dreams; A young girl who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old was curled up on the ground, her snow-white face stained with charcoal ash, and her originally neat hair was mostly scorched......
Zhen Jian looked at all this in front of him, only to feel anger churning in his chest, this gang of barbarians in order to capture the city unscrupulous means, set fire to the city, resulting in nearly one-third of the people in the city homeless, and many people died in the fire on the spot, such a murderous behavior, let him explode his lungs.
In the sky, Zhen Jian went up to the north city wall, looked at the Hun military camp in the distance like a giant beast, gritted his teeth and roared: "You barbarians, as long as I, Zhen Jian, am alive for a day, you don't want to step into Fancheng!"
