Tuyuhun held his bleeding lips and leaned against the female wall in pain, his eyes were full of horror, he never dreamed that Jin would make a move.

"Come, let him go." General Jin commanded loudly.

The soldiers placed the wounded Tuyuhun in a hanging basket, released him outside the city, and told him to leave.

After the Tuyuhun ministers left, one of his subordinates said worriedly: "The general treats the Tuyuhun minister like this, I am afraid that it will completely anger Sha Xi, and Guzang City will be even more critical." ”

"Ben Jiang really can't get used to the arrogance of the courtiers of this small country, and letting him go is cheap for him, besides, today's Tuyuhun army lost thousands of men and horses in the first battle, and Xi Xi is only afraid that he has been provoked, even if we surrender now, we will not escape the fate of being slaughtered, if we want to live, we can only fight to the end." General Masase said.

Obviously, the Jin generals were tasked with guarding the city of Guzang, and once the city was breached, he would have an unshirkable responsibility, so he had to inspire the morale of his soldiers and let them follow him to defend Guzang and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"The general rest assured, the soldiers will follow the general to the death and defend Guzang City." The general hurriedly responded.

The Jin army guard looked at the Tuyuhun camp in the distance, his brows furrowed deeply, he didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive, but no matter when the reinforcements came, he had to swear to stick to Guzang City, only in this way would he have a glimmer of life.

"Woo woo...... Tuyuhun walked into the big tent covered in blood, and covered his lips and whimpered.

Seeing this, Sha Xi was very dissatisfied and reprimanded: "Why is there blood stains?" ”

Tuyuhun courtiers, endured severe pain, and replied vaguely: "Your Majesty, the Jin generals are extremely hateful, not only refused to surrender, but also cut off the mouth of the micro-minister, which is humiliating the micro-minister, and at the same time humiliating the king!" Please ask the king to immediately send troops to attack Guzang City. Extinguish the arrogance of the generals. ”

"Rubb, get out of here." Seeing that the courtiers looked embarrassed, Sha Xi was furious and told him to leave immediately. So as not to look upset.

Tuyuhun's courtiers left the tent in pain and ran to the camp where the military doctor was.

"Your Majesty, General Jin is so arrogant that he dares to treat my Tuyuhun minister like this." A Jin general said dissatisfiedly.

"Your Majesty, our army must increase the intensity of the siege. Break the city as soon as possible, and slaughter Gu Zang to avenge the humiliation. Another general said.

Broken Xi was naturally even more angry, the insulted minister was his subordinate, and the Jin general treated his subordinates like this, which was a serious provocation and contempt for him, in order to gain face, he had to break through Guzang and slaughter the city for three days, but now Guzang City was extremely well defended, and he wanted to break through Guzang City. Naturally, it was not an easy task, so he had to think about how to change the siege strategy in order to break through Guzang City as soon as possible.

"If you take advantage of your tongue and say something you shouldn't say, it can be regarded as humiliating yourself if you cut your lips by the Jin general." One of the ministers said something unkindly.

Obviously, this minister is very at odds with the minister who was cut off his lips, and for this reason, seeing that he was insulted by the Jin general, he was naturally in a happier mood.

But. After hearing this, Sha Xi was very dissatisfied, after all, the minister's statement stood on the position of the Jin general, and he was suspected of eating inside and out.

"Bastard. Do you mean that this king deserves to be humiliated? Broken Xi said angrily.

When the minister heard this, he hurriedly explained: "The king forgives the sin, and the minister thinks that persuasion to surrender with the advantage of his tongue will not have any effect, and will only make the Jin generals laugh, and there is no disrespect to the king." ”

Hearing this, Sha Xi looked at the minister. Zhengse asked, "Then if you have any good ideas, you might as well say it and take a look." ”

The corner of the minister's mouth smiled, and he said: "Your Majesty, we can capture all the people around Guzang City, and use these people as meat shields, so that they can rush to the front, and our soldiers will follow closely, if the defending Jin army fires arrows, the people in front will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the relatives of many Jin soldiers defending the city are among these people, how can they bear to kill their relatives, so there will inevitably be hesitation, and there will be loopholes in defending the city, which is very conducive to our army breaking through the city, What does the king think of this plan? ”

When Sha Xi heard this, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said with a straight face: "Okay, clever plan, wonderful plan!" The order will be sent down, and all the people around Guzang City will be arrested, let them be meat shields, and launch an attack on Guzang City early tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Tuyuhun generals answered loudly and immediately left the big tent.

Soon, many Tuyuhun soldiers and horses scattered to the villages around Guzang City, captured most of the people into the camp, and let them stay in the camp honestly, many people did not know what the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses were going to do, they were all very afraid.

Tuyuhun army went around to arrest the people around Guzang City, such a major large-scale operation, naturally could not hide from the eyes of the Jin army, Tuyuhun just started the operation soon after, the Jin army got the news.

In the early morning of the second day, the Jin army general learned that Tuyuhun acted like this, his heart was extremely nervous, he just cut the lips of the minister of Tuyuhun last night, and then there was a strange incident that a large number of people around the people were captured by Tuyuhun soldiers and horses, there seems to be some kind of internal connection between the two, Tuyuhun King Broken Xi, it is very likely to vent his anger on the people around Guzang City, and this is exactly the situation that the Jin army commander is most worried about.

"Why did the Tuyuhun army arrest the people, have you found out?" The chief general of the Jin army looked at a general and asked anxiously.

"General Qiyu, the detailed observation we sent out for a night, and did not find any valuable information, the Tuyuhun army only captured the people into their camp, but did not kill them, not a single person." The ministry will reply truthfully.

When the chief general of the Jin army heard this, he frowned, and said to himself: "The Tuyuhun army has captured so many people, what do you want to do?" ”

Just when the main general of the Jin army was very surprised, the Tuyuhun army was ready to attack the city at any time, as long as the Tuyuhun King Shaxi issued the order to attack, all the Tuyuhun soldiers could immediately attack Guzang City.

"Your Majesty, the officers and soldiers of the three armies are ready, and tens of thousands of people from Liangzhou have all been escorted into the armies, ready to attack Guzang at any time." A Tuyuhun general reported loudly.

The corners of Xi Xi's mouth smiled slightly, and he ordered loudly: "Attack, the whole army will immediately attack Guzang." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals of Tuyuhun received the order, and immediately led their respective soldiers and horses, under the cover of the people of Liangzhou, and slowly approached Guzang City.

The crowd of black oppressors slowly moved towards Guzang City. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Jin army defending the city were all ready to attack with bows and arrows, and even the main general of the Jin army also came to the front line to command to ensure that the city could be defended.

But. When the Tuyuhun army approached, the soldiers of the Jin army on the city wall felt that something was wrong, and it was not Tuyuhun's sword and shield soldiers who walked at the forefront of the team, but the people of Liangzhou, which made them feel very surprised.

"General. Walking at the forefront of Tuyuhun's army are the people of my Liangzhou, and Tuyuhun is doing this to let the people of Liangzhou act as a meat shield! "A subordinate general finally understood the reason why Tuyuhun went around arresting civilians in the middle of the night.

"General, Tuyuhun's move is too vicious, they take the people as the forerunner, so that our army will not be able to kill the killer, so it will greatly weaken our army's killing of Tuyuhun, and the situation will be very unfavorable to our army." A subordinate general said anxiously.

The chief general of the Jin army was also greatly surprised, he never expected that Tuyuhun would use such despicable means to launch an attack on Guzang City, and in the face of such a sinister situation, his back began to chill.

As a leading general. The chief general of the Jin army knew very well in his heart that no matter how dangerous Tuyuhun's siege was, he could not order the killing of the people who acted as meat shields, because these people were the relatives of many soldiers, and it was difficult to let the soldiers shoot their relatives, and if it was not handled well, it would cause a backlash from the soldiers under his command, and the consequences would be extremely serious.

And if you don't give the order to release the arrows, you can't kill or injure the Tuyuhun soldiers hiding behind the people, and so. A large number of Tuyuhun soldiers are very likely to attack the city wall under the cover of the people of Liangzhou, so as to break through Guzang City.

The dilemma made the entire back of the Jin army commander soaked, and he had almost seen the scene after Guzang City was breached. The people of the whole city, young and old, were slaughtered, and he naturally died in the chaos.

Soon, under the cover of the people of Liangzhou, the Tuyuhun soldiers approached the city wall and erected siege equipment to attack the city. However, the chief general of the Jin army never gave the order to release the arrows.

"General, Tuyuhun has begun to attack the city, what should I do, don't you fight back?" The generals were also sweating on their foreheads.

"Pass the order and tell the soldiers that as long as Guzang City is breached, all the men, women and children in the city will be slaughtered, let them choose for themselves!" The chief general of the Jin army ordered softly.

Obviously, the intention of the chief general of the Jin army is to see how the soldiers defending the city react in this way, as long as most of the soldiers can start to fight back for the sake of the overall situation, then it is expected to hold Guzang City, and if all the soldiers can't do it, for fear of accidentally injuring the innocent people outside the city, the city will be difficult to hold.

The order was quickly conveyed step by step, and the soldiers of the Jin army naturally understood the consequences after breaking the city, and for this reason, after some mental struggle, they bent their bows and arrows and began to counterattack.

Of course, they will not aim at the people, but at the Tuyuhun soldiers who are hiding behind the people, but because the accuracy of the arrows is not good enough, for this reason, there is no way to change the fact that the people are injured by mistake.

......The Jin soldiers defending the city fired arrows one after another and shot them outside the city, and began to counterattack the Tuyuhun soldiers who were besieging the city.

The arrows fired by the Jin army caused a lot of casualties to the attacking Tuyuhun Great Jin, of course, there were many civilians who were killed by mistake, and the corpses of the Tuyuhun soldiers and the people of Liangzhou were piled up together, leaving a thick layer outside Guzang City.

Seeing the Jin soldiers at the head of the city, regardless of the lives of the common people, they began to counterattack, and caused great casualties to the Tuyuhun army.

The assault lasted for two hours, the Tuyuhun army suffered thousands of casualties, and all the people who were held hostage had fallen, but Guzang City remained unmoved and was still in the hands of the Jin army.

"Your Majesty, the resistance of the Jin army is extremely tenacious, and I am afraid that we will not be able to break through the city today." A subordinate general hinted that he could withdraw from the army.

Sha Xi's heart was naturally very unwilling, but in the face of this situation, he had no choice, in order to prevent the Tuyuhun army from continuing to suffer casualties, he had to give the order to retreat.

After a morning of continuous assault, the Tuyuhun army failed to break through Guzang City and withdrew to the camp.

After the Tuyuhun army gradually retreated, the Jin army commander immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and let some soldiers go outside the city, and carried all the civilians who were killed and injured by accidental shooting into the city, and let the dead be buried in the ground, and the wounded were treated by military doctors.

When the city gate was opened, the Jin army commander suddenly found that many ordinary people had climbed up from the pile of dead people, and helped the old and the young to rush to the city gate.

"General, at least more than half of the common people are not dead, they are all still alive." A Jin army general said excitedly.

"It must have been when our army released the arrows, and they fell to the ground in disguise as arrows, thus escaping the catastrophe." Another general hurriedly said.

"These people are really smart! Most of them survived. The Jin army commander was naturally very happy to see many ordinary people crawling out of the pile of dead, and his originally extremely sad mood finally improved a little.

Soon, a large number of people who entered the city began to disperse and resettle in order to facilitate management and control, and prevent them from rioting because of the lack of food, and some of the injured people also scattered to different medical centers, so that Lang Zhong of the medical center could treat their injuries.

"General, more than a thousand people who have entered the city have asked to join our army to help our army defend the city wall together." A subordinate general reported loudly.

The chief general of the Jin army was overjoyed and said loudly: "Okay, since the people are willing to help defend the city, it is best to let them all stand by in the urn city, and summon them at any time as long as the city is needed." ”

"Yes, General, my subordinates will arrange it." The general received the order and hurriedly turned around to make arrangements.

Looking at the more than 1,000 people in the urn city who took the initiative to ask to join the army, the main general of the Jin army was very happy, and said excitedly: "Tuyuhun originally planned to use the people as a cover to attack Guzang City, but in the end, it sent more than 1,000 living forces to our army, making the defense force of Guzang City more powerful. ”

"Yes! General, Tuyuhun just lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. The general responded, and said happily: "The news of Tuyuhun entering Kouliangzhou has already been sent, I believe that at this moment, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong and Shuzhong have come to Guzang for reinforcements, and after Song Tingshi gets the news, he will definitely return to help Guzang, so as long as our army continues to insist, soon the Tuyuhun army will be forced to retreat." ”

The chief general of the Jin army nodded in approval. (To be continued.) )
