Outside the city, the originally quiet and dark night is now very lively, with the sound of shouting and killing, the loud noise of rushing cars hitting the city gate, the sound of rolling woods and stones hitting the **, and the arrows flying all over the sky, swaying. Every time the sound appears, countless lives die here.

And buckets of tincture oil turned Xiutu small town into a real Shura field.

The surrounding city of Xiu Mausoleum was filled with the smell of burnt corpses. This taste was not barbecue, but even barbecue, when you roast the barbecue into something like charcoal fire, you will never think it smells good.

The tincture oil flames burned wildly, and the Qianghu finally withdrew its troops for the first time. Countless corpses were left behind the battlefield, and several unlucky guys were rolling in the burning tincture oil. But in the end, these unlucky guys also returned to dust and completely lost their voice.

Xiu Mausoleum has returned to peace, but no one can really gain peace.

On the city wall, the soldiers who survived the disaster were gasping for breath. Looking at the unparalleled former companion who was shot by arrows beside them, they had to swallow their saliva.

Too miserable!

Even though these soldiers from Dunhuang County of Jiuquan County have experienced countless battles, they have never encountered such tragic things as today. Even if they have encountered them, the enemy is so tragic things that they have never been tragic things themselves.

The original 60,000 people lost at least 5,000 people in a fierce attack in one or two hours, and among them were not the injured soldiers.

Xiu Tu lost almost 10,000 soldiers to guard the city, and even more.

Of course, the defending party lost 5,000 people and combat power lost 10,000 people. The losses of Qiang and Hu naturally became even heavier, especially at the Xiumao City, there were rolling stones, rolling wood tincture oil, and the losses of Qiang and Hu increased geometrically. This is also the reason why the King of Xi Qiang had to withdraw his troops first. When the tincture oil was everywhere, there was no need to fight here.

The turmeric oil always goes out.

After returning, the casualties were counted, the King of the Western Qiang discovered that in just a short period of time, nearly 15,000 Qiang and Hu warriors were lost to Xiumao City.

The loss is not small, and the King of Xiqiang looked a little gloomy.

A quick battle!

Can't delay!

It’s not that he can’t afford to delay, but that if he drags on, his soldiers will suffer greater losses. If he wants to lose less, he has to endure a burst of pain. After he has suffered the pain, he will be victorious.

The King of Xiqiang called the clan leader and the main tribal leaders over and discussed tactics with them.

Of course, there is no tactic for siege like this. The King of Xiqiang just released his determination to fight and decide quickly to them.

Up to now, the core army of the Xiqiang King has not yet made a real attack. Now the ones who are sieging the city are all warriors under the leaders of major tribes. If they don’t agree with these tribe leaders, they won’t really take all their assets.

In order to convince these reckless men, the King of Xiqiang took some quarrels and made some more conditions. Finally, he let the clan leader and tribal leaders return to their respective camps to prepare for a new round of offensives.

This wave of siege was three points higher than before. When the Han people used almost all the wood and squat oil, they rushed forward and completely pulled out the small town in front of them!

Kill all the Han people inside!

How can I fight against myself if there are no soldiers in the three counties of Liangzhou?

At that time, I would meet with the Prince of Xiangli and Guzang would be in my hands. At that time, the three counties of Liangzhou would be the territory of my Qiang people.

Now, the twists and turns in the hearts of the King of Xiqiang suddenly became more and more.

Since all the three counties of Liangzhou have been captured, why should we return to Yuezhi City?

There are plump water plants, Han craftsmen, Han beauties, Han food, and Han people. If I take this place down, wouldn’t I be able to face the Xianbei royal court directly and compete for the status of the grassland overlord?

When the King of Xiqiang thought of this, he felt a little warmer again.

This battle must be won, you must win!

The turbulent oil gradually went out, and the sound of Qiang and Hu horns sounded again. The soldiers in Xiumao City hurriedly ate some dry food, drank a few sips of water, immediately picked up the bow and arrow in their hands, picked up the spear in their hands, and prepared to start.

However, there are not many rolling wood piled up on the city walls, and there are only a few barrels of turmeric oil. Everyone has this question in the city.

Can you keep it yourself?

This is only the first day, and it has only been less than two hours!

The Qianghu did not give Xiu too much time to express his feelings to the people in the city. They roared like wild animals and had already reached a place where the soldiers on the city wall could see it.

Swallowing ~

Arrows flying!

A new round of offensive and defensive battles have begun again.

There were also wars outside another small town dozens of miles away from Xiumao. However, compared with Xiumao, Guzang City's situation was obviously better.

At least, neatly rolling wood and rolling stones are piled up on the city wall, and tinder oil is placed next to the city wall, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

The situation in Guzang was much better than that in Xiu Massacre, but Hao Zhao on the high platform of the city wall still frowned.

In front of Guzang City, there were very few fortress groups left, and the soldiers in the fortress were naturally also suffering heavy casualties.

If the fortresses in front of them are broken again, then there will be moats and moats in front of these Qiang and Hu.

Hao Zhao did not release water in the moat trench. If the trench several feet high and deep, it would be pierced by the bamboo tube inside and die.

However, I couldn't stand these Qianghu and Hu would fill the trenches with their bodies.

At that time, these Qianghu will directly approach the city wall, and then there will be a real bloody battle.

Hao Zhao was estimating and thinking about how he could last ten days.

....................................

The soldiers outside the city were bleeding, but in Guzang City, in the prefecture, there were a group of well-dressed literati and scholars, but the giants of the aristocratic families had their own thoughts at this time.

"June, I wonder how many days can the food and grass be maintained in Guzang City?"

Cao Chong looked at Cao Shuo, and this time he finally said something Cao Shuo wanted to hear.

"Sir, don't worry about this. There is an East Warehouse in Guzang City, and the food and grass inside are enough to supply the people of the whole city. There is no need to worry about this matter in a short period of time."

Cao Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Since that's the case, that's not too bad."

Cao Shuo seemed to be relieved a lot, but Cao Chong of course couldn't reassure Cao Shuo. Before Cao Shuo finished vomiting in one breath, he immediately said:

"But at this time there were only eight thousand guards in Guzang City. I heard that there were 100,000 Qianghu cities in the city outside the city, and there were 8,000 to 100,000, but this marquis didn't know how long Guzang could hold on."

Eight thousand...

Hundred thousand?!

Not only Cao Shuo, but everyone present had their faces changed.

Of course, the city is a barrier, but it is only effective to defend against enemies similar to yours. When the enemy sieges are five times ten times that of yours, or even more, the city will be completely unbearable.

Quantitative change causes qualitative change. This sentence is not a casual statement. Everyone present has seen the world. Naturally, this principle is also understood. Understanding the principle, the despair in the heart will naturally become stronger.

"June, I am trapped in the siege at this time. I wonder if I can use these 8,000 soldiers to lead me to break out?"

Breakthrough?

Cao Chong shook his head immediately.

Not to mention that the siege of 8,000 people that could break through tens of thousands of people was a dream. Even if he could break through, Cao Chong would not let this group of people break through.

If these people break through, how can you rub their wool?

So Cao Chong said with a bitter face: "You guys, it's hard to hide these 8,000 soldiers guarding the city. If they leave, where will the hundreds of thousands of people in Guzang City be placed? Since we are parents, we have to think about the people. How can we abandon the people for personal life and death? Even if this marquis dies with the people in Guzang, he will not do anything to abandon them."

Since ancient times, only routines have won the hearts of the people.

Cao Chong naturally had to learn from Liu Bei's routine. He pretended to be a pussy under the gaze of so many big shots, which felt unusual.

Fame is accumulated little by little.

Although the representatives of those aristocratic families sneered at Cao Chong's words, they were silently opposed.

Although aristocratic families regard the people as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, this sentence is OK to say in private. If someone says such words in such an occasion, you may "leave a name in history."

No one wants to be the object of being despised by future generations.

Cao Shuo coughed twice, stepped forward and continued to Cao Chong, "Then aren't we waiting for death here?"

How can these aristocratic families bear sleeping and dying in a small town?

"Extremely, if you are only trapped in the city, you might as well go out of the city and kill Qianghu once!"

"Hahaha, everyone, what are you afraid of? It's just a death. Since you're going to die, it's better to die happily. You'd better be together. Is it better to have a banquet and live a drunken life and dream death?"

When he said this, the guy's eyes floated towards Linghu Mei, who was covered with a veil.

Linghu Mei spat fiercely.

This guy Ling Hu Mei naturally knew that he was the representative sent by Huang, Jiuquan, Dunhuang. His surname was Huang and his courtesy name was Chongguang.

This son is somewhat famous in Liangzhou, but he is a man of a genius. After all, he is a descendant of aristocratic family. If he had not caused so many troubles, he would have been in a different place.

Since he is a crazy talent, Huang Hua naturally has two skills and is first-class in literary talent. Although he doesn't look serious, the business assigned by the Huang family is well managed. He is known as the leader of Liangzhou as Linghu Mei.

"Chongguang, don't talk nonsense!"

Cao Shuo immediately scolded Huang Hua, but asked the latter to close his mouth immediately.

Although Huang Hua belongs to the Huang family in Jiuquan, his mentor is Cao Shuo. If Cao Shuo hadn't protected Huang Hua, with Huang Hua's personality, how could he get the trust of the Huang family and how could he come to meet Cao Chong on behalf of the Huang family?

"Your Majesty has always been confident, so don't let me wait. If you give me some instructions, you can say it out loud. We may unite and may not be able to revive the death."

Looking at Cao Shuo's eyes, Cao Chong narrowed his eyes, suspected that this guy had seen his disguise.

Cao Chong coughed and had to throw out some real thing.

"In fact, it's not really the end of the country. There is an authentic tunnel in the city that can lead directly to the outside of the city..."
