Chapter 163 Xianbei Siege
For several consecutive days after that, Bao Hong went out day and night, and rarely saw others. Although Zheng Xuan felt a little strange, he was gentle and trusted Bao Hong, so he didn't say much, and Zhang Xu did too. Cooperating with many soldiers to start the great cause of defending the city, under his proposal, the confidence of the generals soared, and some looked forward to the arrival of the Xianbei army.

They wanted to kill more Xianbei people to sacrifice to Zhang Gong's spirit in heaven.

The whole Guzang County was full of heat. Many people were not angry because Zheng Xuan wanted to trouble them. On the contrary, they were very happy to be able to help the Han army. Taking care of them, the soldiers were also at the height of their battles, practicing with Bao Hong day and night, although Bao Hong always stood far away from them.

Zhang Xu stretched his waist and slowly walked out of the courtyard. Along the way, there were hard-working common people. Zhang Xu looked at them with a calm expression. Suddenly, he was taken aback and looked at a figure in the distance. Zheng Xuan was wearing a short coat. , holding a big stone in both hands, strenuously walking towards the city wall, tired, stopped to wipe off his sweat, saw Zhang Xu, smiled, and shouted: "Youzhen! Help me!"

Zhang Xu reluctantly walked to Zheng Xuan's side and helped him start carrying the stones. He said helplessly, "Duke Zheng, you are a great Confucian, why are you like this?" Zheng Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the tears flooded Wet his clothes, he ignored it, and said with a smile: "Those who go to the king's business, how can we talk about birth?" He pushed the stone all the way to the city wall with difficulty.

Seeing Zhang Xu who was out of breath, he laughed loudly and said, "You take a rest for now, I have to come again a few times!"

Seeing Zheng Xuan who was running forward without the slightest dignity, Zhang Xu always felt a little weird for some reason, he looked around again, was shocked, and shouted: "Bao Sima, why are you here to carry?", Bao Hong Frowning, looking extremely gloomy, he was wearing a helmet at the moment to protect himself tightly, and even attracted some border guards to laugh at him.

But he ignored it, and was still helping the people transport stones. Hearing Zhang Xu's voice, Bao Hong raised his head and looked at him with disdain. He shook his head and continued to carry stones without saying a word. When the stones were moved to the city wall, Bao Sima looked at the city wall and roared: "The people have worked so hard for us! How dare they steal? Keep practicing!!"

Zhang Xu watched silently.

After three or four days, the scattered and looting Xianbei army gathered outside Guzang County. Tan Shihuai led the most elite main army, with a total of 20 knights, known as [-] to the outside world, slowly approaching from four directions Guzang County moved closer, and within two days, the siege of Guzang County was impenetrable. Naturally, the city defenders quickly discovered these large troops, because the surrounding trees were all cut down under Zhang Xu's suggestion.

All the wooden blocks were brought back to the city wall as weapons for defending the city.

Zheng Xuan, Bao Hong, Zhang Xu and others hurried up the city wall and looked out.

The Xianbei army was endless, and the sound of horseshoes was overwhelming. The soldiers were a little panicked. Only the soldiers of the Northern Army had firm faces and only burning hatred in their eyes. Bao Hong looked at the soldiers around him, picked up the crossbow himself, and stood up. Beside the banner on the city wall, they pulled out the crossbow toward the enemy, making a gesture of desperate bloody battle, and the soldiers gradually calmed down.

Tan Shihuai was in the army, looking at this solid city wall from a distance, and after watching for a while, he said to Sifu beside him: "The whole army rests for a day to make a siege weapon. Tomorrow, I will sit in Guzang City." drink in here!" Sifu took the order and went out, he immediately called the small leaders of all parties and asked them to cut down trees from the surrounding area and let the slaves make siege weapons.

These little chiefs went out, and not long after, they returned separately and reported to Sifu that there were no trees around, and even some houses and buildings had been burned and demolished. Huai seemed to have the purpose of getting rid of him and clearing the way for Helian. He also saw this from Tan Shihuai sitting and watching Li Jinruo and Yi Erjin die, and the elites withered away.

He also has an elite army of more than 1 people, but he knows that he is no match for Tan Shihuai. All he can do is to successfully complete Tan Shihuai's request and prevent him from catching him.

He cursed viciously, "Sly traitor!", and he asked the soldiers to dismantle the carriages and ox carts that accompanied the army, and went to a distant place to find wood by himself. After a whole day, he prepared the siege equipment, and at night Now, the Xianbei army is resting in peace, waiting for tomorrow's attack. Of course, they are also prepared to prevent the Han bandits from raiding. There are a large number of Northern Army soldiers in this county.

Unlike other counties, they need to be on alert at all times.

Watching the night fall, Zhang Xu stood at the top of the city, observing the Xianbei army with some coldness, looked at the sergeants around him, waved his hands, and walked down the city wall. There was a burst of stench, and they raised the wooden barrels and sprinkled them outside. It didn't take long, one barrel after another, and it didn't take long for the surrounding area to be filled with stench.

After a while, suddenly, the horses in the Xianbei army opened their eyes one after another, a little restless, and the groom who was watching these horses was also a little strange, and got up to comfort the horses. After a while, the fierce horses suddenly neighed loudly, their hooves Rubbing the ground restlessly, extremely irritable, the horses seemed to have got the information, neighing and screaming, restless.

If it weren't for the reins to restrain them, I'm afraid they were about to rush out. The neighing of tens of thousands of horses caused the entire Xianbei army to become chaotic. Everyone got up one after another, thinking that something had happened, even Tan Shihuai woke up quickly and walked out In the camp, the steeds neighed in unison. Such strange phenomena caused many Xianbei people to kneel on the ground, muttering something.

Tan Shihuai looked at it for a while, Sifu stood beside him, looking a little uneasy, Tan Shihuai heard it, and said disdainfully: "It's just a trick, let the soldiers sleep at ease!!", Sifu clicked a little confused Nodding, Zhang Xu was in the city, listening to the bursts of hissing, grinned, and went to sleep peacefully, while the Xianbei people were a little miserable. They were marching for days, and they were not disturbed by the anxious hissing at all. Sleepy.

Only a soldier like Tan Shihuai who has experienced many battles can rest in peace.

The horse neighed until it was exhausted before giving up, and the Xianbei people were tortured by it all night, Tan Shihuai also thought to himself, should we eunuch all the war horses like the Han people in the future?

However, they have always dismounted to serve the people and mount their horses to serve as soldiers. These fine horses are the personal belongings of these Xianbei people. Oppose it with all your strength, the gain outweighs the loss, forget it, it's just a trick, when I capture this city, I will definitely catch the traitor who uses this trick!
Then tie him to a pillar, and let the warriors beat drums and gongs in his ears alternately! !
No rest day and night! !
