When the civil strife broke out in Tuyuhun, the northern defense line of Qianguo was fiercely attacked by the Rouran army, as Zhao Junsheng guessed, the Rouran army left a small part of the troops under the command of Wu Ti to contain the defenders of Bigancheng, and the main force of the army came all the way to the southeast.

This time, the Rouran army did not attack Woye Town, but chose to attack Huaishuo Town, Huaishuo Town Guard Zhu Baisong had already received Sima Chuzhi's notice, and made sufficient preparations in advance, the city defense materials had been transported to the foot of the city wall early, and they could be moved to the city wall at any time, and the deployment of defensive forces had also made detailed arrangements.

Wu Ti led the army to rein in the city of Huaishuo Town, looked up, and felt that something was wrong, "Hey, why does this city wall feel a lot higher than two years ago?" ”

A leader of the Rouran tribe next to him said: "Khan, you are right, in the past two years, the Qianguo has organized the army and the people to heighten and strengthen the cities and the Great Wall on the northern defense line!" ”

Wu Ti's eyes smacked: "Why don't you report this kind of thing?" ”

"Khan is too busy, how dare we disturb you with such a trivial matter? It's not the cadres who have entered Mobei! The head man said embarrassedly.

Wu Ti no longer cared about this matter, it was already like this, and now it was pointless to care about it, he continued to observe and look at the walls of Huaishuo City and the defenders on it.

After a while, he asked, "Is it possible to go around here and go to the rear of Huaishuo Town?" ”

This man is the leader of a small tribe on the edge of the desert, he is obviously familiar with this area, he shook his head: "There is no way to bypass, from here to the west to Woye Town, to the east to Wuchuan Town, along the way is the Great Wall, we can choose the city wall that is not defended by troops, but the cattle can't pass!" ”

Wu Ti couldn't help but blurt out: "Aren't you talking nonsense? What's the use of animals not getting by? Do you think we can outdo the Qianguo people with two legs? Without war horses, one soldier of Qianguo can fight two, or even three or four! ”

"Yes, yes!" The leader stepped aside.

The general next to him, Kupa, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his chest and said to Wu Ti: "Khan, since you can't get around, then you can only attack it, we haven't fought this Huaishuo Town, but the city wall has been raised a little higher, it doesn't have much effect on our Rouran warriors, give me five days, I will capture Huaishuo Town!" ”

Wu Ti has no other way, presumably Woye Town and Wuchuan Town should be similar, Wuchuan Town's defense should be stricter than this, he thought about it for a while and agreed: "Okay, give you five days!" ”

Wu Ti immediately ordered the army to set up camp outside the city of Woye, and he left 2,000 men outside the city of Bigan to confront the defenders inside the city, and pinned down the defenders there to prevent them from leaving the city to cause trouble, and now he still had 18,000 men in his hands.

General Kupa ordered 2,000 people to go to the nearby mountains to cut down trees, and ordered the craftsmen brought with the army to build simple siege equipment, these craftsmen were often looted and taken from the northern border of the Qianguo by the Rouran people in recent years, they will not build such as wells, trebuchets, ballistas, stone carts and other high-tech siege equipment, but they can build siege ladders and battering rams that do not require much technical content.

In just one day, the craftsmen brought by the Rouran people built hundreds of siege ladders.

Early the next morning, Koopa led his army to attack the city.

In fact, Coopa was very wrong, he sensed that something was wrong soon after the siege began, even if there was a siege ladder, the Rouran warriors under his command could not climb it at all, except for a few soldiers, most of the soldiers could not stand on the siege ladder.

The city wall is too high, which also causes the siege ladder to be built relatively long, if the siege ladder is a little shorter, it is okay, the soldiers will not be too shaky to climb on it, but the difference between the siege ladder is one meter long and two meters long and three meters is completely different, the longer the siege ladder, the easier it is to shake, when people climb up, the shaking is too strong, the soldiers dare not climb up at all, always worry about falling down, where do they have the heart to defend against the stones and arrows thrown overhead?

Thus, in the first morning of the attack, the Rouran men suffered more than 300 casualties, while the defenders suffered very few casualties, and at the end of the day, the number of casualties was close to 600.

Coopa was a reckless man, a man who did not hit the southern wall and did not look back, he was savage, reckless, fierce and cruel, and his brain was tendoned, and the nearly 600 dead and wounded on the first day not only did not make him think back, but aroused his ferocity more and more.

For four days in a row, Kupa led the Rouran army to storm Huaishuo City, the city wall was killed like a mountain of corpses, blood flowed like a river, the corpses of the soldiers stained the city wall all red, and the casualties of the Rouran army exceeded 3,000 people in four days, and Huaishuo City was still standing still.

Wu Ti couldn't sit still, he let Kupa toss these days to see how the defense of Huaishuo City, which is extremely high, is really good, now that he knows the result, he can't let Kupa continue to mess around, this is simply to let his Rouran sons and daughters go to death, the cadres did not kill a few, but they suffered heavy casualties.

"Kupa, stop tomorrow's siege!" Wu Ti found Kupa and said.

Kupa quit: "Khan, give me three more days, and I will definitely capture Huaishuo City!" ”

Wu Ti pointed to Huaishuo City in the distance and asked, "Look, you have been fighting for four days, can this city wall fall off and turn around?" But how many people stormed the wall? Even if you are given another month, you will not be able to defeat this Huaishuo City, and then the city will not be defeated, but the 20,000 people brought will be wiped out! ”

"This ······" Coopa said a few words in his mouth and stepped aside.

Wu Ti snorted coldly: "No wonder Fuqu Muqian is willing to spend so much money to invite Ben Khan to send troops, it turns out that he has found a hard bone for us!" This loss is decided, but afterwards Ben Khan must let the frustrated Muqian repay it twice! ”

The minister asked, "Khan, what are we going to do next?" Is it to fight Wuchuan or Dongele? ”

Wu Ti said: "If our army fights Wuchuan, Dongyule will definitely send troops to help; If our army fights Dongele, the defenders of Wuchuan will also be reinforced, these two places will not be too far away, as long as one of them drags us back, the other side can come to the aid in time, and then we will be caught in a flank! ”

"To attack the fortresses of Fuming and Huaihuang, we have to pass between Wuchuan and Dongyile, and if we don't get it, we will be caught between them, and now we can only go to Woye Town, I hope that the city defense over there will not be as strong as Huaishuo Town!"

The next day, Wu Ti led a large army to kill the town of Woye.

Zhu Baisong, the guard of Huaishuo Town, found that the Rouran army had retreated, and went to the west, guessing that they might be going to attack Woye Town, and immediately sent people along the foot of the Great Wall to report to the fortresses and beacons along the way, so that they could pay close attention to the movements of the Rouran army, and once they found the traces of the Rouran army, they immediately lit a beacon fire to warn them, and never gave the Rouran people a chance to kill inside the Great Wall.

On the way to Woye Town, Wu Ti was not in a good mood, because he would see beacon smoke rising from a place along the way, and it was obvious that the Qianguo border army had been staring at them, and before they arrived, they lit a beacon fire early to warn.

When he arrived in Woye Town, Wu Ti saw that the city wall had also been heightened, no different from Huaishuo Town, how could this battle be fought? Won't you even be able to enter the south of the Great Wall in the future? How else to go south to plunder? If we hadn't gone south to plunder, wouldn't Rouran have starved to death many people and cattle every winter?

Wu Ti's elder brother Qi Liegui said: "Brother, it seems that this time we have lost a lot, and we have come over with 20,000 horses from afar, and we have not even grabbed a single hair, but have lost more than 3,000 people!" ”

Wu Ti turned his head and squinted at Qi Liegui: "The main purpose of our coming here this time is to create a huge momentum and attract the 50,000 cadres who attacked the Beiliang Kingdom, so as not to let them destroy the Beiliang Kingdom!" Now the Qianguo is already a dominant country in the north, once the Northern Liang is destroyed by them, Tuyuhun will not be able to stop the Qianguo's troops, and when the Qianguo unifies the north, they will come to fight us, so we want to protect the Beiliang, and to protect the Beiliang is to protect ourselves! Did Ben Khan lose money by doing this? ”

"This ······" The beggar returned to reason, bowed down and said: "The khan has a long-term vision, and the beggar can't return!" ”

Wu Ti narrowed his eyes and thought a lot, and then he ordered: "Order, let the craftsmen build siege equipment, and prepare for the siege tomorrow!" ”

"Attack? Isn't it like attacking Huaishuo Town, the casualties are too great! The beggar said with some embarrassment.

Wu Ti said: "Who made you attack with all your might? Won't you bluff, with loud thunder and little rain? ”

"Uh, yes!"

So, the beggar Gui ordered the people to build siege equipment, and the next day to attack the city, under the order of the beggar Gui, the Rouran soldiers did not make any effort, and the momentum was very large, but they did not risk death to attack.

A few days later, the ranger scouts arranged in the surrounding area by Rouran came to report that a large number of dry cavalry had come from the direction of Huaishuo Town in the east, with about 10,000 horsemen.

When Wu Ti heard this, he immediately ordered him to take 2,000 cavalry to stay outside Woye City to contain him, and he personally led more than 12,000 people to the east to meet him.

According to the spies, he learned that the commander of the cadre army was Gao Jinzhi, Wu Ti had never heard of this person, and he despised Gao Jinzhi very much, but as soon as the two sides fought, he knew that he had met an opponent.

For three days in a row, the two sides fought four games, each with a victory or defeat, Wu Ti no longer dared to despise Gao Jinzhi, worried that he would be planted in Gao Jinzhi's hands if he was not careful, so he had the idea of withdrawing.

That night, Wu Ti's half-brother Vulture Golem came to his camp in person, and the Golem brought a piece of news.

"What? Bei Liang is gone? This ······ How can it be? Wu Ti was so shocked that he took two steps back, and the clay bowl containing mare's milk tea in his hand also fell to the ground.

The vulture puppet said solemnly: "The news is absolutely true, the Qianjun and Tuyuhun attacked Beiliang, Fuqu Muqian sent his younger brother to lead the army to fight, but was defeated by Cao Jiao and returned, after Cao Jiao led the army to arrive, Fuqu Muqian's two nephews went out of the city one after another to surrender, and within two days he tied himself up and surrendered, and all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty surrendered with him!" ”

Wu Ti was stunned, and jumped like thunder: "Damn frustrated Muqian, he made my Wu Ti miserable!" What are you waiting for, quickly send the order to withdraw the army overnight and return to the royal court! ”
