    Soon, plumes of thick smoke billowed from the north direction, rising straight into the sky.

    Zhang Wenyuan, who was far away in the southeast, was also worried. He must be careful, but in the end the news was revealed.  In this case, there was no need to cover up, so he ordered all the ministries to speed up the march and move straight to the northwest.

    Soon Zhang Wenyuan met Xin Wenli, who was returning with his troops. Xin Wenli gave an overview of the encounter with the enemy and apologized to Zhang Wenyuan.

    Zhang Wenyuan did not ask any questions. After all, luck played a large role in the raid.  It is impossible to control whether the opponent sends out rangers.

    And the closer he gets to Saiyin Mountain, the greater the possibility of exposure, so he has long been mentally prepared.

    At this time, puffs of thick smoke started to burn one after another. Tongluo Duo'er, who was far away in Saiyin Mountain, also discovered the thick smoke. He immediately ordered the whole city to be on alert and sent various sentries to explore to the east and south.  Condition.

    The same palpitation as Luo Duoer's absence, this feeling has not happened for more than ten years.  She suddenly had a feeling that the Sui army was attacking.

    The entire Saiyin Mountain City was in motion, and military equipment everywhere was activated one by one.

    Not long after, the messengers around Tong Luo Tu Lu rushed back to Saiyin Mountain and reported their findings to Tong Luo Duoer.

    They fought to the southeast with the Sui army, were defeated and retreated.

    Tong Luo Duo'er's tense mind suddenly relaxed. I don't know if it was because the unknown was eliminated, but she relaxed.

    It was indeed the Sui army.

    In this vast grassland, there are countless tribes. Except for the Sui army, who dares to attack Saiyin Mountain.

    Tong Luo Duoer immediately summoned the generals in the army, tribal elders and others to discuss the matter.

    Everyone seemed to still be in the era of fear of the Sui Army ten years ago. When they heard about the Sui Army, they were frightened, and many people even wanted to run away.

    Seeing that everyone was panicking, Tongluo Duoer loudly rebuked everyone.

    "If you are so afraid of the Sui army, just surrender to the Sui army."

    Having been in power for so many years, Tongluo Duoer has a momentum that has been cultivated over a long period of time.  Seeing that Luo Duo'er was angry, everyone dared not speak.  In the Tongluo tribe, none of the elders or generals are as effective as Luo Duoer's words.

    Seeing that everyone had stabilized, Tongluo Duoer did not continue to attack, but asked everyone if they had any strategies to deal with the menacing Sui army.

    Everyone discussed countermeasures, and many people believed that it was necessary to temporarily avoid the edge of the Sui army. The Sui army was too powerful to retreat.  Anyway, the Sui army couldn't stay on the grassland forever.

    If possible, Tongluo Duo'er would certainly not want to fight the Sui army head-on. After all, the Sui army was outnumbered, and in addition to tribal cavalry, Saiyin Mountain City also had tens of thousands of old and weak women and children. If it was caught in an offensive and defensive battle, just these tens of thousands  Burden is also a big issue.

    But it is impossible to retreat smoothly now.  There are more than 70,000 to 80,000 people on Saiyin Mountain. Once retreating, it will be protracted and costly.  But now that the Sui army was approaching Saiyin Mountain, it was impossible to give them enough time to retreat.  And if they forcefully retreat and encounter the blocking Sui army along the way, there will be a huge rout, and the Tongluo tribe will be doomed.

    There is no way to retreat, so we can only hold on.

    "However, Saiyin Mountain City is too small. When more than 100,000 people entered the city, they were almost crowded and bumped into each other. It was impossible for the hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, and horses to be sent into the city.

    Tongluo Duoer is also determined.  She directly ordered the people to be brought in first and the livestock last.  Horses come first, cattle and sheep come last.  Enter as many as possible, but if you really can't get in, you can't take advantage of the Sui army and kill them all.

    In order to prevent the Sui army from enjoying the killed cattle and sheep, she also ordered that human and animal feces be dumped on the cattle and sheep to breed germs.

    At that time, the Sui army was no more than a hundred miles away from Saiyin Mountain, and it took less than two days to reach the city.  Tong Luo Duo'er also made good use of these two days to improve the defense of Saiyin Mountain City.

    Furthermore, Tong Luo Duoer also deployed more than 3,000 Zuo Qing Banner cavalry with Luo Dongdan, responsible for harassing the Sui army's food routes and reducing the pressure on the city defenders.

    When Zhang Wenyuan arrived at the city, he saw the heavily guarded Saiyin Mountain City.

    Saiyin Mountain City has already formed a mature defense system after several battles.  As the core nest of the Tongluo tribe, Tongluo Xie also ordered people to strengthen the city defense many times.

    Saiyin Mountain City is built on Saiyin Mountain and is surrounded by mountains.  There is a large continuous mountain range in the south, and there are four passes on the north, west and east sides connected to the outside world.

    Tong Luo Xie also ordered people to build a checkpoint at each of the four passes as a precaution.

    These four levels are all sandwiched between two mountains. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is also the confidence Tongluo Duoer dares to defend.

      Tong Luo Duoer personally defended the city, and ordered General Tong Luo Shilou to lead the main force of the Youbai Banner to garrison the largest pass in the southeast; he ordered Tong Luo Zhigu to lead the You Qing Banner to garrison the two passes in the north; he ordered General Tong Luo Di  Lu led his troops to guard the western pass; while the rest of the main force was in the city as a general reserve.

    Zhang Wenyuan looked at Jiancheng and frowned.

    Four levels guard a fortified city, just like a hedgehog, which is really hard to swallow.  He also found some old Fengzhou generals from the army who had followed Ou Yan, and asked them about how Qimin Khan attacked Saiyin Mountain City. The situation was not optimistic.

    The Sui army came from afar and could not carry siege equipment.

    Tongluo Duoer also thought about this and had already ordered people to burn the trees around Saiyin Mountain.

    The Sui army rushed slowly and hurriedly, but only a small part was rescued.

    Zhang Wenyuan also knew that sieging the city would not be accomplished overnight, so he ordered people to set up camp outside the southeast checkpoint and prepared for a long-term siege.

    Both sides were silently preparing for the next battle, so although the two sides were very close to each other, they were relatively quiet.

    The Sui army prepared for about three days to attack the city. On July 12, Zhang Wenyuan ordered all ministries to start attacking the southeastern pass of Saiyin Mountain City.

    Guarding the southeastern pass is Tong Luo Duo'er's first general, Tong Luo Shilou. In his hands, he has nearly 5,000 troops from the Eighth Army of the Right White Flag, and he himself is an old friend of the Sui army.

    The Sui army first bombarded the checkpoint with trebuchets, and then used crossbows to suppress the city head.  When the opponent's momentum weakened, the infantry began to attack the city on ladders and chariots.

    Those who attacked the city were all subordinate Hu soldiers. Soldiers from Zhentun Army, Huaiyi Army, and Zhaoyi Army took turns to attack the city head.

    In fact, there were still trebuchets in the city, but Tongluo Shilou knew that his catapults were inferior to those of his opponent in terms of quantity and quality, so he hid in the city and waited until the Sui army approached before suddenly bombarding them.

    Several ladders near the city were immediately blown down, and the Sui army suffered heavy casualties.

    Zhang Wenyuan saw this and immediately ordered people to bombard the city head again, and even bombarded the place where the catapults appeared in the city.  It's just that the level is too steep, and many catapults are hidden on the mountains on both sides, located in the blind spot of the Sui army's attack.

    Seeing this, the Sui army had no choice but to engage in a bombardment war with the opponent, but it did not have much effect.

    After one day of siege, the Sui army suffered hundreds of casualties, but they did not even get close to the city wall. This battle was in trouble.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
