This news, after repeated verification, was finally known by Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others.

It is determined that Liu Zhengzhen is trapped in Xindu, and now it is time to gather a large number of troops to deal with the Xianbei people and Yuan Xi.

Originally, after the battle of Liyang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, who had already appeared fearful, finally became excited again.

swept away the decline of Liyang's defeat before, and began to recalculate, planning to attack Liu Zheng's Jizhou again at any time.

After all, Zhang Fei's subordinates still have 50,000 horses.

If you don't fight Liu Zheng head-on, but just attack Liu Zheng from behind, having an army of 50,000 is enough to pose a great threat to Liu Zheng.

Especially in the current situation.

Liu Zheng's troops were all attracted by the letter capital in the north, and he couldn't draw more troops to deal with the attack of Zhang Fei and others.

This gave Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and others confidence.

A big battle to attack again was brewing in the camp of Wuchao, and this time Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun learned the lesson of the last time and did not attack rashly.

It's about waiting for the right moment.

Shin Capital City.

A few more days passed.

Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses waited here for a few days.

The people who rushed over from Liyang finally arrived.

All gathered near Shinto Castle.

It's just that Liu Zheng didn't attack these enemy forces outside the city.

He was not in a hurry, and when the troops were not superior, Liu Zheng did not think of taking the initiative to attack, because the enemy cavalry outside the city was the majority.

Especially after Liu Zheng took the initiative last time and did not take any advantage, Liu Zheng clearly understood that although his individual strength was stronger than the other party.

But once there is a life-and-death fight on the battlefield, the cavalry still has a strong advantage.

Liu Zheng did not have an advantage in troops, so he could only use his advantage to defend the city to achieve the goal of defeating the other party.

Therefore, it is more suitable to defend and counterattack than to take the initiative to attack.

Liu Zheng only needs to wait for the other party to take the initiative to attack, and then attack the locality, and then repel their attack.

And after all these days, the Xianbei people and Karasuma people outside the city are also becoming more and more anxious.

Because as early as half a month ago, Liu Zheng had already ordered people to start to clear the wilderness, and there were few villagers in the wilderness except in the city.

Those subordinates of Badun, even if they united with Yuan Xi and went to this vicinity to loot grain and grass, they would rarely be able to snatch much grain and grass.

They were not able to rob Liu Zheng's grain and grass, and there was no way to rob enough grain and grass in the small county towns alone.

Grain and grass can be grabbed.

However, Badun and Yuan Xi, as well as Kebi Neng, had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses outside the Xindu City.

The consumption of grain and grass for 10,000 or 20,000 people may not be large, and Badun and Yuan Xi can still insist on persevering, but more than 100,000 people, the grain and grass consumption of these Xianbei people from the north are all supported by Yuan Xi.

Even if Yuan Xi is Liu Zheng, he can't bear this kind of consumption.

Moreover, the current Liu Zheng's troops are less than half of them, and the consumption is not as good as Yuan Xi.

In just three or five days, Yuan Xi already had a big head.

If they don't deal with Liu Zheng again, I'm afraid that they will starve to death first.

So a big battle is already brewing, and in two days at the latest, Yuan Xi will definitely let Kebineng's men and horses start attacking the city.

In the north in May and June, it is not cold.

The sun is shining and the climate is pleasant.

this day.

The sky had just turned white, and outside the city of Xindu, the horn of attack had already begun to sound.

Yuan Xi, who had already been unable to bear it for a long time, urged the army of Kebineng and Bandun to attack here.

Outside the city of Xindu, hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers and horses gradually gathered and began to implement a strict formation suppression of the city.

The army of thousands of people was a phalanx, distributed around the city, which had given Liu Zheng in the city a very huge oppressive force.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng is a person who is used to seeing big scenes, and he does not have any fear just because these people surrounded the entire Xindu City.

After all, with this city wall guard, no matter how many people and horses come from the other side, it will be difficult to directly hit the city tower.

The only possibility of breaking the city is to use troops to pile up.

In this way, the other party's advantage will be gone, and Liu Zheng naturally has nothing to fear.

The battle flag is unfurled, and the horn is loud.

Not long after, Yuan Xi, Ratun, and Kebineng appeared under the city of the capital of Xin.

Arrogantly rushed to Liu Zheng on the city tower and began their call.

"The dog thief of the big man, dare to come down and fight?"

When the two armies are fighting, they have not really begun to attack the city, and they must first have a one-on-one confrontation before the battle to improve the morale of the two armies.

At the same time, it is also to put pressure on the other person.

Once the other party is afraid, they dare not go out to fight.

That will inevitably give the attacker a lot of morale.

At this time, Yuan Xi, who already had an advantage in the army, guessed that the other party would not dare to take people out of the city to attack.

That's why I instigated Kebi to make people come forward to call for war.

He expected that Liu Zheng in the city would not dare to go out of the city.

As long as Liu Zheng refuses, it will inevitably greatly boost the morale of the attacking side, thus despising these big men.

It was indeed a good thing for the people who attacked Shinto City.

That's why there is now a call under the city of Xindu.

A burly man riding a war horse and holding a large stick.

At first glance, it is not a Han general, it should be a warrior of the Xianbei tribe.

Liu Zheng stood on the city tower and heard the sound of scolding coming from the city.

I wasn't going to bother with it.

After all, going out of the city to face him didn't do much good.

Think about it.

Didn't he just reach two agreements with Ma Chao?

At this time, you can test Ma Chao's strength.

If you let the horse go out of the city to fight, it may be a good choice.

Thinking of this, he immediately became interested.

hurriedly ordered the guards around him to bring Ma Chao over.

Not long after, Ma Chao was called over by Liu Zheng.

Ma Chao, who was excited, really thought that Liu Zhen was going to let him lead the soldiers and horses out of the city to fight.

After seeing Liu Zheng, he immediately made a guarantee to Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, did you come to me, did you plan to let me lead the troops into battle to deal with these alien barbarians?"

In the past few days, Ma Chao has been treated well by Liu Zheng, and instead of detaining him in the dungeon, he has found a house for him to live in temporarily.

After feeling Liu Zheng's kindness, Ma Chao's impression of Liu Zheng also improved by a few points.

So I really want to show myself in front of Liu Zheng.

Dealing with these nomads, Ma Chao is very interested.

Liu Zheng saw Ma Chao's eager appearance, and immediately smiled.

"I really want you to fight, but I don't want you to lead the troops to attack, but I plan to let you go down to the city to meet the enemy who will call for battle in front of the formation for a while."
