    Three days later, after careful preparations, the Han and Qiang combined forces came out again. Different from the all-out attack last time, this time they were all-out defense. Sixty thousand Han troops formed a fish-scale formation to closely monitor the enemy in Jincheng.  The army and 40,000 Qiang cavalry surrounded Jinshan, preventing the enemy troops from rushing down one by one!

    "You two, it's a matter of success or failure. Whether you can conquer Jincheng depends on your methods!" Before the action, Xiao Yi found two subordinates - Huang Shu and Fat Liu. One was responsible for digging trenches to cut off the connection between the mountain and the city.  The other one is responsible for logistics, providing food and drinks for a hundred thousand troops, and ensuring their combat effectiveness!

    "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, the two of us will do our best to complete the task. If there are any omissions, please bring them up to see us!" Huang Shu and Fat Liu knelt down on one knee to salute and issued a military order!

    "Okay, the whole army is united, and the golden city can be broken in a day!"

    "No!"

    Hearing that the Han and Qiang combined forces were approaching the city again, Han Sui immediately led his generals to the city tower to check the situation. Looking around, he saw that the city was densely packed with soldiers holding weapons. However, they did not attack the city, but set up a defensive formation.  , at the same time, the flags on Jinshan Mountain were waving, and news came out that they were also surrounded!

    "The troops are divided into two groups, and they are surrounded but not attacked. What is Ghost Face Xiao Lang's plan?" Han Sui was confused. He gathered his eyes and took a closer look. He found a team of thousands of people digging trenches in the open space and constantly digging out the sand.  , after digging to a width of five feet, it began to extend to both sides!

    "It's a good idea to dig trenches and isolate the mountain city, but with just a few thousand people and only a few months, we can't even hope to succeed. By then, one hundred thousand coalition troops will have already starved to death!" Han Sui was also a veteran on the battlefield and knew the secrets of Jincheng.  What is the weakness? But the opponent has insufficient troops and food and grass. If it is consumed, it will be more beneficial to oneself!

    "The ghost-faced Xiao Lang is nothing more than that. I guess Qian Donkey has run out of skills, right?"

    "A five-foot trench can't even stop a rabbit, but you still want to trap our thousands of troops?"

    ¡°Are they digging trenches openly and building tunnels secretly, preparing to sneak into the city and attack us?¡±

    "There is sand all around. Digging a hole in the ground is like being buried alive. Anyone who goes in will die"

    Some of the Xiliang generals laughed at, some ridiculed, and some doubted, but no one took the five-foot trench to heart. It could be crossed in one jump. Who would be trapped?

    "Send an order to the whole army to guard the city tightly, not to be careless, and to send more patrols at night to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks!" After watching for a while, Han Sui didn't notice any danger. He just ordered his men to guard the city carefully and returned.  I'm going to have a rest!

    The subordinates were also very obedient. They sent double the manpower to patrol, and buried dozens of large tanks under the city to monitor the sounds underground and prevent the enemy from entering the city!

    Let's talk about the Han and Qiang joint forces, with the "Digging Army" as the main force. All troops took turns to go into battle and dig trenches desperately. The generals set an example, waving pickaxes and sweating like rain. Even Xiao Yi went into battle shirtless. Well  The soft soil in the sandy land made it easy to start, and they didn't dig too much, just five feet wide and seven feet deep, so the progress was very fast!

    "Brothers, it's time for lunch. Big buns stuffed with mutton, with refined salt added. Eat and drink enough to continue working and dig down the Golden City!"

    At noon, 'Fat Liu' came with a group of fire-headed soldiers, each carrying a load. Inside were steaming meat buns, as big as the mouth of a bowl, with thin skin and enough meat. When you take a bite, the oil will pour out, and there will be a thick meat bun.  The bone broth is fragrant, and it¡¯s really a good war meal!

    While the food is delicious, you must not forget the military regulations. Each group of troops takes turns eating and resting, while the rest of the people still stick to their positions. As for the laughter and curses of the Xiliang soldiers on the city, just pretend that you didn¡¯t hear them. After three days, let¡¯s see if you can still laugh.  ?

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In this way, 100,000 allied troops were deployed under the city, working day and night to dig hard. It took three days to finally dig out a trench more than 30 miles long, connect it to the Huangshui River, set up a gate, and encircle Jincheng inside.  !

    "Han Sui, you short-sighted man, look at how this governor has trapped your city, send an order - open the gate and release the water!" At dusk three days later, Xiao Yi finally showed a smile on his little black face, wiped the dirt on his body, and issued the order  Got the military order to release the water!

    "Wow! Brush! Brush!"

    At the command, the gate was opened, and the Huangshui that had accumulated for a long time immediately poured down, washing the trench violently. Anyone who has walked on the waterway all year round understands a truth: the river is wide and the water is slow, and the river is narrow and the water is fast. The narrower the river, the faster the water.  The more turbulent the water flow becomes, the more difficult it is for boats and the fear of pedestrians. Not to mention wood, even big rocks can be washed away. The power of the rapids is more than ten thousand!

    By the same token, Huangshui rushes intoIn the five-foot-wide trench, the water flow was restrained and became fast and urgent, constantly scouring both sides of the trench and taking away a large amount of sediment. With the rolling river water, it rushed downstream

    ¡°One hour, two hours, three hours, the water is endless, the mud and sand are under the¡­

    After a night of scouring, the trench that was originally five feet wide actually became eight feet wide, exceeding one foot in some places, and the depth reached more than eight feet, which was enough to drown an adult. And as the water flow continued, the trench was still getting wider.  , become darker

    At the same time, the coalition soldiers carried stones, excavated soil, and built a barrier on the west side of the trench. Archers were densely deployed on it, and they firmly controlled the position. Now even thousands of troops could not even think of rushing over!

    After dawn, the Xiliang garrison took advantage of the hazy morning light and discovered an extra white belt outside the city. He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, "Oh my God, what kind of belt is that? It's clearly a trench with fast currents.  The city is completely surrounded!"

    "It's not good, go and tell the lord, the enemy used magic to create a river"

    "Ghost-faced Xiao Lang is really not a mortal. This is the ability to change stars and change fights"

    The defenders were dumbfounded and flew away to report the news to the generals. After hearing the news, Han Sui had no time to put on his armor and ran up to the city in just a single coat. Then he was stunned. The trenches were deep and wide and the barriers were tight. He himself  The Jincheng was isolated!

    "Ghost-faced Xiao Lang is so scheming and calculating. He uses water to wash away the sand. His methods are really superior to others!" Han Sui is also a resourceful person. After thinking about it, he finally figured out the reason. Unfortunately, he understood it too late.  Well, the other party¡¯s plan succeeded!

    "Send the order, open the city gate, attack with the whole army, and fill up the trench, otherwise I will die without a burial place!"

    "Promise!Kill! ¡ª¡ªFill in the trenches and defend Jincheng to the death!"

    After some wake-up calls, the Xiliang garrison also reacted. Generals Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, and Li Kan immediately organized their troops, opened the city gate, and rushed out with shouts!

    "Fire arrows and push the enemy back!" The Han and Qiang coalition forces had already been ready. With an order, thousands of arrows were fired, fiercely covering the charging enemy troops. Without the cover of the city wall, Xiliang soldiers and horses suddenly  Losing the advantage, they were shot to the ground piece by piece, stained with blood on the yellow sand. After several charges, they were shot back without even touching the opposite barrier!

    "If there is advance, there is no retreat. Those who retreat will die!" Han Sui also fought for his life, holding a sword and personally supervising the battle. Any soldiers who were afraid to move forward were immediately beheaded, their heads were picked up with spears, and they forced his subordinates to charge!

    "Haha, brothers, raise your swords and guns, the opportunity for revenge has come - kill!" Xiao Yi raised the gilded phoenix wings high, leaped in front of the horse formation, commanded the black armored cavalry to charge forward, wherever the horse's hooves touched,  Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams shook the sky. The Xiliang soldiers were trampled into puddles of flesh and blood, suffering heavy casualties!

    At the same time, Jinshan's defenders also rushed down and tried to fill up the trench. Zhelan commanded the Qiang cavalry to kill and fight back. The goal was not achieved, but many men and horses were killed!

    In this way, the Xiliang army rushed out again and again, trying to open the passage, but Xiao Yi commanded the troops to kill them all. Three days later, under the erosion of the river, the trench was more than two feet wide and one foot deep.  It would be extremely difficult for the Jincheng defenders to break out of the encirclement!

    The division plan was completed, Xiao Yi asked Ma Liu to lead 20,000 troops to station at the ditch, relying on the danger, keeping a close eye on the defenders of Jincheng, while he led the main force of 80,000 men to surround the enemy troops in Jinshan.  A local strength advantage has been formed, the situation has reversed, and we can finally give it a try!

    "Grand Governor, I will ask you to be the vanguard, go up the mountain and wipe out the enemy's nest!"

    "General Shenwei Tian, ??the Qiang warriors are also willing to rush up the mountain and kill the enemy and perform meritorious service!"

    The dawn of victory has flashed, and the generals under his command and the chiefs of various ministries have stepped forward to ask for battle, just like a chicken blood, snatching the mission of the vanguard officer!

    "There is no rush. The trapped beasts are still fighting. Be careful to hurt people. There are still 30,000 enemy troops on the mountain. We must not underestimate them. Find a suitable opportunity and it will not be too late for us to strike again!"

    Looking at the solid defense line on the mountain, Xiao Yi shook his head slightly. As a wise general, he must use the smallest sacrifice to achieve the greatest results. As for the opportunity, it is in the sky. It is warm in April, and the spring rain is about to come, right?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
