Some soldiers who couldn't stand the sound covered their ears tightly.

If it weren't for Wei's strict military laws, the parents, wives and children at home would be implicated, and I'm afraid some people would have already begun to flee.

When the Han army stopped throwing stones, faint shouts of killing could be heard outside the city.

The soldiers of the Wei army knew that reinforcements from Jincheng were trying to break through the interception of the Han army.

"I'm going to fuck your mother!"

Zhang Hua, the prefect of Jincheng, watched the soldiers fighting on the front line being forced to retreat, and he couldn't help but pointed at Yuzhong City to the west and yelled.

"I led the army to rescue you. Wei Ping, are you dead? You don't even dare to go out of the city to respond?"

Three months ago, Xu Miao, the governor of Liangzhou, appointed Zhang Gong of the Zhang family in Dunhuang as the prefect of Jincheng. Zhang Gong declined because of his old age.

Xu Miao also wanted to replace him with Zhang Gong's son Zhang Jiu.

Zhang Gong had no choice but to recommend his younger brother Zhang Hua to be the prefect of Jincheng.

Xu Miao, on the grounds that the Zhang family wrote Dunhuang in Hexi, specially allowed Zhang to take up the post with his uncle and serve as the chief historian of Jincheng.

The uncle and nephew of the Zhang family had just arrived at Sanpeng when they encountered a large army of Han troops attacking Yuzhong.

Zhang Hua asked his nephew Zhang Ju to guard Jincheng and be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, while he personally led the army to rescue Yuzhong.

Unexpectedly, Yuzhong guard Wei Ping did not even dare to show his head, let alone go out of the city to respond to him.

How could this not cause Zhang Hua to yell?

But Wei Ping in the city couldn't express his suffering.

When the Han army first arrived at the city, it was not that he did not try to test the strength of the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the jujube-faced military commander opposite him was really extraordinary. He killed the soldiers he sent out in one fell swoop and completely routed his army.

In addition, in the past few days, countless stones have been constantly hitting the city, and a few unlucky soldiers were smashed into pulp under everyone's eyes.

It's truly terrifying.

Although the Han army did not attack the city, the morale of the soldiers in the city had begun to decline.

The rocks flying all over the sky rumbled like thunder from the sky.

Some huge boulders fell into the city and immediately made a big hole in the ground, sinking three feet into the ground.

This is a siege equipment that has never been seen before.

There were even rumors in the city that the Han army had received help from ghosts and gods and had used magic to throw boulders on top of their heads from hundreds of steps away.

Every time a huge boulder was thrown at them, the Wei soldiers hiding under the city wall were frightened, let alone the defenders who were forced to guard the city wall.

Everyone at the top of the city was leaning closely behind the female wall, feeling the vibration of the city wall, always feeling that the city wall would collapse in the next moment.

Wei Yan did not surround all of Yuzhong this time, he only surrounded the south and west sides.

To the north is a big river, blocking the way.

The only way to survive is to the east.

But it’s not easy to go east.

Wei Ping knew that after the Shu captives captured Longyou, the Wei Dynasty actually had three strongholds in Hedong.

In addition to Jincheng and Yuzhong, there is also Zu Li from Wuwei County.

But after the Shu captives imitated the Wei Dynasty and appointed a captain to protect the Qiang, Zu Li had to give up.

Because the fake captain of the Qiang Protector of Shu was so disgusting that he directly placed the prison in Pingxiang, which was like pressing into the throats of Yuzhong and Zuli, making people feel like they were stuck in their throats.

What's even more disgusting is that the fake Qiang guard captain didn't know what method he used to make the Longyou barbarians so obedient.

Because Yuzhong is close to the river and has Jincheng echoing each other, there is no need to worry too much.

But Zuli was different. It was too far away to defend the isolated city, and it was often harassed by barbarians coming from the direction of Pingxiang.

Therefore, before the Shu captives could send troops, the Wei Dynasty had to voluntarily give up Wuwei's territory east of Hedong.

It is now a grazing land for the Hu people, and there are even rumors that the Shu captives are dividing pastures there for the Hu people.

Wei Ping could definitely guess that if he dared to walk from the east, those barbarians who had become the dogs of the Shu captives would definitely bite him continuously on the road.

Therefore, the best way is to wait for the Jincheng reinforcements to arrive, and either repel the Shu captives, or coordinate with the Jincheng reinforcements and return to Jincheng together.

Wei Yan brought more than 20,000 people over, and only surrounded two directions. In addition, there were no soldiers to attack the city for the time being, so the force was naturally sufficient.

However, the Jincheng reinforcements coming from the west made it impossible to concentrate on dealing with the Cao thieves in Yuzhong City, and Wei Yan's anger gradually became uncontrollable.

"Then what happened to Feng Yong? We agreed to contain the Cao thieves in Jincheng, but now all the Cao thieves in Jincheng have gone to Yuzhong City. Where are the others?"

When the sun went down and both sides stopped fighting, Wei Yan was furious in the commander's tent, "Did he take tens of thousands of troops and horses to go on a tour?"

Gao Xiang, the prefect of Nan'an who was responsible for blocking Jincheng's reinforcements, heard Wei Yan's words and could only comfort him: "Maybe Feng Junhou has something to do to delay him."

"Besides, the two armies are divided, making it difficult to communicate and respond in time, which is normal."

Even though he said that, Gao Xiang was still a little worried: Feng Junhou, could something have happened?

Compared with Wei Yan, Feng Yong, who was young and talented, had outstanding performance in the Northern Expedition, and had outstanding methods in governing Longyou, naturally made Gao Xiang feel closer to him.

Of course, as a general who followed the late emperor from Jingzhou to Shu, General Gao was naturally very principled.

It is certainly not because the Jingzhou faction has benefited from those Hanzhong estates, Nanzhong sugar cane, Longyou woolen workshops, etc. that they are willing to get close to Feng Yong.

Wei Yan was still angry: "What I'm worried about is that Yuzhong City may not be able to hold on for two days. If the city is destroyed, Cao's thieves may fight to the death or find a way to escape."

"When the reinforcements from Cao's thieves arrive in the west, how can we annihilate them with all our strength?"

Gao Xiang had another opinion: "General Wei, without Feng Junhou's engineering camp, how could we have broken the city so quickly? Wait a moment."

Wei Yan snorted and refused to answer the topic.

He turned his head and asked Huo Yi who was standing below: "Based on the current situation, how many days do we have before we can break the city?"

Huo Yi was the person sent by the Protector Qiang Colonel's Office to temporarily take charge of the engineering battalion. His most important task was to guard the engineering battalion tightly and not allow others to interfere in the command.

He knew that he had little qualifications, so he always stood on the edge and remained silent.

At this time, when he saw Wei Yan asking questions in person, he stood up and said: "Return to the general, as long as there are enough stones, we will be able to break the city in two days."

This was a literal statement from the chief engineer of the engineering battalion. Huo Yi could only convey it, but in fact he knew nothing about the operating terminology of the engineering battalion.

"Okay, I will wait for another three days. After three days, if there is no news from Feng Yong, then let go of the west and we will just capture Yuzhong City. When the Cao thieves escape, it will be Feng Yong's fault!"

Wei Yan gritted his teeth and said.

Although it seems that the troops are divided into two sides now, in fact we only need to block the enemy in the west.

When the wall of Yuzhong collapses, it will be the day to attack the city. If we divide our troops again at that time, we will be in danger.

Because the collapse of the city wall is only the first step in attacking the city.
