When besieging a city, the city will not always be besieged, especially when the city is besieged, there will always be one side, one is not so many military horses to besiege, and the other is to leave a glimmer of hope in the city, lest the soldiers and civilians in the city think that they cannot break through, and have the heart to fight to the death, increasing unnecessary casualties.

Therefore, the siege of the city was to occupy the fortress at best, not to let the military horses in the city come out, and at the same time to try not to let the military horses galloping into the city. In this way, it is considered a successful siege.

This may seem simple, but it is difficult to do, and there are many aspects involved. Especially the overall planning ability of the commander of the besieging side, after all, the four sides of the entire city are also far apart.

And there are more people and a large range. And there are good and bad, some brave and some unbrave. There are those who are good at war, and there are those who are not. It's not all cavalry, there are also foot soldiers, and the action is not very flexible and convenient, so the overall force is extremely important, if one is not careful, it will be broken through.

Although most of Zhao Qian's more than 10,000 troops are rabble, but the leaders are the army of the Great Song Dynasty, they have experienced wars, and some are still generals of Wutang, under their leadership, the entire army under the Iron Gate Pass is cleaned up and orderly, and the Iron Gate Pass is firmly encircled, leaving only the southern city wall, if the city guards can escape by themselves, then they can occupy the Iron Gate Pass without blood, and operate it into a big city belonging to the Han people in the Western Regions, as long as they occupy here, with the ability of the Great Song Dynasty, it is like pressing a nail in the Western Liao and the rear, and it is equivalent to occupying a fortress on the side of the Huoluo Kingdom。

After Zhao Qian surrounded the Tiemen Pass, he immediately sent out 3,000 soldiers and horses to drive the surrounding tribes and small tribes as cannon fodder to besiege the city, and at the same time established three camps between the Tiemen Pass and the Lost City, preparing to block the reinforcements of the Huoluo Kingdom layer by layer, which can be used as a warning and can also delay time.

In order to put pressure on the defenders of the Fire Kingdom in the city, thousands of "sample soldiers" were selected.

These soldiers were tall and mighty, and wore brilliant armor, and walked up and down a short distance outside the city. In the distance, countless flags were erected, the three armies beat drums, and the horns were melodious. From a distance, the besieging Yuan army was boundless.

In the direction of Tiemen Pass and the city in the river, it is to run back and forth with the war horse falling on the branches, making the appearance that there are a large number of reinforcements in the city in the river, and at the same time, there are 1,000 soldiers and horses walking out of the camp every night, and in the afternoon, 1,000 soldiers and horses return to the camp again, giving the people in the city the feeling that the reinforcements are coming in a steady stream.

The soldiers of the Fire Luo Kingdom who were guarding the tower were shaken by the sound of its drums, and their faces were terrified. They all felt like the walls were shaking. Countless dust powders fell from the walls. This deafening sound penetrated through the city, making all the soldiers of the Fire Luo Kingdom tremble, especially when they saw countless cavalry on the northern city wall, their hearts were shocked, and they wanted to flee immediately.

At this time, the Iron Gate Pass General Chahanloer was very worried, and the Fire Luo Kingdom took great pains to get the Iron Gate Pass and obtained a bridgehead based in the river, which was willing to be given away, but he never imagined that the army attacking the city in the river would be defeated so quickly, let alone that the Han people he regarded as cowardly and incompetent would surround the city.

If he leaves, the Iron Gate Pass will be completely lost, but if he doesn't leave now, he is afraid that he will fall here, which makes Tsahanloer's expression full of worry, and these days, the morale in the city has fallen to the extreme.

Tsahanlol stood at the head of the city and looked out of it. Tens of thousands of men and horses outside the city stretched out from east to west, and different battalions lined up, waving flags like clouds covering the sun, until the end of the line of sight. The momentum is amazing, seeing this scene, Chahanloer's face is reflected, and his eyes are even more solemn: "This Liao is from the east, I didn't expect that there is such confidence, there are so many exquisite craftsmen and such a military formation, and I don't know if God's command is right?"

At this time, Zhao Qian's military village has been settled, and it is within ten miles from the Iron Gate Pass, if it is normal, this is not a very good distance, because usually the siege of the city, the location of the besieging side of the camp, from the city wall can be thirty or forty miles away, and the close is more than ten miles.

It is relatively rare to camp within ten miles. Because if it is too close to the city wall, the enemy in the city can come out at any time, which is equivalent to making it convenient for the opponent to harass or rob the camp.

Zhao Qian's distance is exactly within dozens of miles of the Iron Gate Pass, which is a psychological tactic, oppressive, so that the people in the city can clearly see the elite soldiers and fierce generals coming and going in the camp, and even Zhao Qian hopes that the military horses in the city can go out of the city to sneak attack, so as to eat away at the entire Iron Gate Pass army little by little.

In this large camp, Zhao Qian's main camp was surrounded by his own Han elite soldiers, and in the camp, all the major generals and some craftsmen who came to help gathered together.

Some of these people are generals such as the commander, the chief and the centurion in the army of the Great Song Dynasty, and some are students of the martial arts hall, all of whom have come here to experience, and those craftsmen are also from the Heavenly Ministry of the Great Song Dynasty, but these people came this time, and they all looked forward to Zhao Qian, not only because they thought that Zhao Qian was the earliest here, but also because he was His Majesty's confidant general, and the generals surnamed Zhao were already a force to be reckoned with in the army and the court, and no one dared to underestimate these people who claimed to be His Majesty's domestic slaves.

Zhao Qian looked at the generals and craftsmen around him and said with a smile: "I am a prosperous place in the Great Song Dynasty, extremely rich, you have traveled far to the Western Regions, you have suffered, Zhao Qian is polite here!"

After Zhao Qian finished speaking, Tian Feng, a student of the martial arts hall, walked out with a smile and said: "General Zhao doesn't need to be polite, it is our duty to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and His Majesty, but now that the Iron Gate Pass is guarded by the Huoluo Kingdom, I don't know what the general's plan is?"

Zhao Qian laughed and said: "This iron gate pass is easy to take, now what I care about is the fall of the maze, and the key to take the fall of the maze is the iron gate of the Chahanloer, this person was originally the Seljuk Empire's brave generation, originally the defender of the fall of the maze, and later the Western Liao defeated the Seljuk Empire, which fled to the Western Regions with the Seljuk, but was surrendered by the country of Huoluo, if we surrender it, we can take the city of the fall in one fell swoop, and we can also know the movement of the country of Huoluo, and completely control the land in the river." ”

"Chahanloer? It's just that this person is a general of the Fire Luo Kingdom, can we take it easily? His family must be strictly guarded, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make him submit?" Jin Yang, a centurion of the Great Song Dynasty, was a little worried, since ancient times, the generals were conquered, and their families would be strictly guarded by the imperial court, which was a common practice.

Zhao Qian laughed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty has already made arrangements, and the people of the Star God Sect have already secretly infiltrated the Fall'er Maze." ”

"Such a great goodness, but since this Chahanloer is a fierce general, it is not a way for us to besiege and not attack!" Tian Feng asked with some concern.

"Attack for a period of time first, fight a dozen of the sharp qi in the city, and then lure it down, the Star God Sect naturally has a way, and during this period of time, we must completely organize the soldiers and horses in our hands and completely control them, so that Xiao Cha will assassinate Ah Bu and Xiliao have nothing to say! This is our opportunity to control all the land within a radius of hundreds of miles, and there can be no mistakes!"

Zhao Qian said solemnly, everyone also had a clear goal in their hearts, and immediately began to act.
