In the big tent of Yiman, Tushi Khan had a blue face, and the generals of various tribes were also in the tent at this time, most of the generals personally led the troops to attack the city, and several generals died in battle.

The blood-stained barbarian generals also had gloomy faces, and their unwillingness and anger were already on their faces.

This time to attack the city, the barbarian soldiers can be said to go all out and attack on three sides, but in the end, instead of capturing the city, nearly 2,000 people were killed and wounded.

Since the barbarian army came to the city, it has launched several offences against Wuping Mansion City and Tiangong, and it has lost four or five thousand people and horses, which is definitely not a small number, and some small tribes have sent thousands of troops this time, and more than half of the casualties have been born.

"Tushi Khan, how can this battle be fought?" After a long time, one person finally broke the death-like silence in the tent, "The siege weapons have also been manufactured, but so many people have died, and almost all the siege weapons have been lost, and the people of the Qin State are still resisting desperately, can we still fight?" It will take several days to create siege weapons, and we will still consume energy? ”

After the First World War, the mood of retiring soldiers had begun to loom over the hearts of the tribes.

Of course, they wanted to take Wuping Mansion City, and they also wanted to avenge the clansmen who died in the battle, but this siege battle was fought to this extent, killing and wounding thousands of people, which seriously dampened their confidence.

"The people of the Qin State have plenty of food and grass, and their troops are by no means more than a few thousand." Another said: "If we continue to fight, we will only suffer more casualties." Tushi Khan, I'm really sorry, we are a small tribe, we have already killed and injured a lot of people, if we continue to fight, we can't explain to the clansmen, I am ready to retreat. ”

The barbarian spoke and acted neatly, and this person did not hesitate, and directly stated that he wanted to lead the troops to withdraw.

One of the people next to him also said loudly: "I also want to withdraw from the army, and I can't fight anymore." I will take some of the captives back as slaves. ”

At this time, everyone else also shouted, although many people said that they wanted to withdraw their troops, but there were still some people who were unwilling and insisted on staying to continue the attack, and many more people were hesitant and did not know what to do next.

Tushi Khan glanced at everyone, and finally said: "If you want to withdraw your troops, you can leave now, Ben Khan will never stop you, but the ugly words are ahead, you want to withdraw your troops, it is your own choice, it has nothing to do with Ben Khan, once you withdraw your troops, you will have nothing to do with Ben Khan." Ben Khan will not leave, do not take the city of Wupingfu, Ben Khan would rather die here, but if Ben Khan breaks through the city, all the tribes who withdraw their troops will not resent Ben Khan when the time comes. ”

Those clamoring for the withdrawal of their troops immediately hesitated.

"You have seen it yourself, although we have suffered heavy casualties, the people of the Qin State will not feel very well." Tushi Khan said coldly: "They also died a lot, and they won't last long." Maybe if we hold on a little longer, the people of Qin will not be able to support it, and Ben Khan will attack at least once, concentrate all his forces, and go all out. ”

"Every time we thought we could take it down, but in the end we were all defeated." Someone said: "Even if you attack again, the result can only be an increase in losses." ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a person: "Tu Shi Khan, I have a way, I don't know if it's okay?" And when they looked at him, they saw that he was Ibu.

Tursh Khan asked, "What way?" ”

Eevee glanced around before he said, "What method did we use when we caught wolf cubs on the grassland?" ”

"Catch a wolf cub?" Everyone was stunned.

Eevee sneered: "Steppe wolves all arrange their dens in deep pits, the caves are small, if you want to catch their wolf cubs, you have to find out where their burrows are, and then find a place to dig a deep tunnel!" ”

The method of catching the prodigal son, everyone present was clear, Yibu suddenly said, everyone was puzzled, but Tushi Khan had already understood, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You mean, catch the people of Qin like catching wolf cubs?" ”

"Not bad." Eevee nodded, "We have so many captives in our hands, and we still have enough tools, why don't we let them dig tunnels from outside the city?" The city is strong, and we have suffered heavy losses by attacking it head-on, and since it is difficult to attack on the ground, it is better to go underground. I have already estimated that as long as we dig the tunnels day and night, it will take less than ten days to dig from the ground to the city, and when the time comes, we will enter the city from the tunnels at night, and we will definitely be able to take the city of Wuping Mansion in one fell swoop. ”

As soon as Yi Bu's words came out, all the barbarian generals suddenly showed excitement, and some of them had already patted their heads and said, "Yes, this method is good, why can't you think of it earlier." ”

Tushi Khan's eyes also showed excitement: "Digging tunnels? Eevee, you're not bad! ”

Seeing that his idea seemed to be appreciated by everyone, Yi Bu suddenly became full of spirits, "Tushi Khan, we don't have to rush to attack the city next, on the surface, we still let people make siege weapons, so that the people of Qin thought that we still want to attack the city with siege weapons, but secretly they began to let people dig tunnels, and we have prisoners in our hands, and dig more than a dozen tunnels at the same time." He suddenly pulled out the scimitar on his waist, walked to the middle, and the blade gently picked up a large piece of soil on the ground, and said with a smile: "You see, the soil here is easy to excavate, and if you really want to dig up, the speed will not be too slow." We used tents to surround it, so that the Qin people could not reach the place where we dug the hole, and they would definitely not think that we would enter the city from underground. ”

"Good!" Tushi Khan clapped his hands and said: "As long as the tunnel is dug through, the people of the Qin State will have no way to stop us, as long as my grassland warriors can enter the city, the Qin army is not our opponent at all." ”

Yi Bu put away his knife and said: "The food in the army can still support a period of time, let's collect some more, it is easy to hold on for ten days, after ten days, the tunnel is dug through, we will launch the final blow, the ground is still using siege weapons to attack the city, attract the attention of the Qin army, and secretly let people enter the city from the tunnel, when the time comes, the two soldiers and horses will attack inside and outside, and the people of the Qin State will never be able to resist again." Once we succeed, we will be done, and if we fail, we will withdraw our troops at that time, and it will be too late. ”

Tushi Khan laughed and said, "Yes, let's prepare for the last attack, as long as it's ready!" Before he could finish speaking, he heard an anxious voice outside: "Tushi Khan, Tushi Khan, big things are not good!" As he spoke, someone rushed in from outside the tent.

Everyone looked over and saw that the man was disheveled, with a dusty look, but it was the special Guzhe sent to the camp of the Northwest Army. ”

Tushi Khan had already stood up and took two steps forward, "Teguzhe, Ben Khan sent you to see Chu Huan, can you see it?" ”

"See you!" Te Guzhe gasped, obviously he was in a hurry, out of breath, and gestured with his hands, but he couldn't speak for a while.

"Isn't Chu Huan fooled?" Tursh Khan was devastated in his heart, "Does he really want to be an enemy of Ben Khan?" ”

"Tushi Khan, the Northwest Army and the Northwest Army are stationed at the foot of Panlong Mountain in the Hexi Corridor." Teguzhe was relieved, and finally said: "I arrived at their military camp, and I also saw Chu Huan, he still said the same thing, let us withdraw the army quickly, and said that if we don't withdraw the army, don't think about leaving any of us." ”

The generals on the side sneered one by one, and someone already said in a rough voice: "That southern barbarian, he really doesn't know the height of the sky, if he has the ability, even if he has the ability, just compare with our grassland warriors to see who is powerful, and dare to speak wild words and threaten us." ”

Tushi Khan also sneered: "He wants Ben Khan to withdraw his troops? What a joke, Ben Khan just didn't want to be harassed by the siege, he really thought Ben Khan was afraid of him? He clenched his fists and said: "Our tens of thousands of cavalry, as long as we rush over, we can flatten the Northwest Army!" ”

"Tushi Khan, this is not the most important thing, he asked me to remember to bring a word to Tushi Khan!" Teguzhe's eyes were full of horror: "He asked me to ask you, if we sent troops to the Central Plains, will the clansmen on the grassland be very worried?" ”

"Worried?" Tu Shi Khan didn't understand for a while, but felt that Chu Huan's question was really a bit unbelievable, and frowned: "What does that mean?" ”

"I was in their camp, and I didn't see their cavalry, and I didn't even hear the neighing of horses!" ”

"You mean, their cavalry isn't there?" Tushi Khan understood, "Could it be that he is wandering around again, trying to ambush our soldiers and horses who are collecting food and grass?" He frowned and said, "But Ben Khan has sent rangers to patrol the surroundings to look for traces of their cavalry, and since the last time Jochitai was ambushed by them, there has been no trace of their cavalry!" ”

"Thushi Khan!" Another person on the side shook his body, as if he understood something, "Where the hell are their cavalry?" Why did that Chu Huan mention our grassland people? ”

Tu Shi Khan was stunned for a moment, and soon, his pupils contracted, and he lost his voice: "Could it be, then, how is that possible?" ”

Teguzhe has already said: "Tushi Khan, the northwest cavalry is nowhere to be seen, not in their camp, and our rangers have not found any trace of their cavalry near Wuping Mansion, it is said that they have tens of thousands of iron cavalry, these tens of thousands of cavalry, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, have they gone to the grassland?" Speaking of this, Teguzhe couldn't help but shudder.

The others suddenly realized that many people had changed color in shock.

"The Northwest Cavalry is going to take advantage of the emptiness of our grassland to attack our homeland?" Someone lost his voice and said, "If that's the case, then what?" ”

Tegu Zhe said: "Chu Huan also asked me, saying that our army is going south, isn't the grassland very empty?" I didn't understand what he said at first, but then I suddenly came back to my senses, and he meant something else, that is, their cavalry was going to take advantage of the emptiness in our rear, make a long-distance raid, and kill directly at the steppe. ”
