Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"The Zhao people are about to fail." Tu Xie said to Xian Shan.

Xian Shan nodded, and said: "Today, tomorrow at the most, this Dingxi City will not be able to hold on."

Tu Xie asked, "Should we do something?"

Xian Shan shook his head lightly and said, "We can't do anything."

Looking at Tu Xie who was eager to try, Xian Shan couldn't help but give him a hard look: "Don't forget that our manpower is only four thousand!"

Tu Xie snorted, and said: "There were only two thousand armored cavalry back then, but they still defeated King Lin Hu's tens of thousands of cavalry!"

Xian Shan choked without hesitation: "But what we have is not an armored cavalry, nor is Shan Yu King Lin Hu!"

Tu Xie snorted a little irritably, and said, "Could it be that we just watch Dingxi City being captured and do nothing? You have to know that there are tens of thousands of people inside!"

Xian Shan pondered for a while, then slowly said: "If Lian Po's reinforcements don't show up, we really can't do anything."

Lian Po may come at any time. This is something that all the top Huns know, and it is also the reason why the intensity of the Huns' siege these days is far greater than the previous few days.

Tu Xie sighed, his face full of disappointment.

At this time, Xian Shan suddenly let out a surprise, and said, "Tu Xie, did you hear anything?"

Tu Xie said angrily: "I heard the screams of the Zhao people on the top of the city! Hey, wait, what is that?"

Tu Xie and Xian Shan turned their gazes to the east at the same time.

On the horizon in the east, a black army like a turbulent tide began to appear, and the sound of thunderous drums came from afar. Even at such a long distance, it still sounded quite shocking.

A big red flag was flying high, and one didn't need to look to know that there must be a big "Zhao" written on it.

Xian Shan and Tu squinted at each other, and then they smiled at the same time.

Lian Po finally arrived.

After learning the news of Lian Po's arrival, Du Longqi Shanyu smashed the Yuezhi Xihou skull wine glass that he regarded as a treasure on the spot, and then gave the order.

"Let all the warriors withdraw and prepare to start fighting the main force of Zhao Guoren!"

The Huns retreated like a tide, and the cheers erupted from the top of Dingxi City, which sounded very harsh in the ears of every Huns.

There is no doubt that for the Huns, this was an out-and-out defeat.

But Du Longqi Shanyu didn't feel any frustration because of this. After personally beheading the three little Hun kings who were unable to fight well, Du Longqi Shanyu told the rest of the Xiongnu nobles so.

"Siege may not be our strong point, but when it comes to fighting in the wild, then the Zhao people are definitely not our opponents! Take a good rest for a few days, and then get ready to embrace the joy of victory!"

Chapter 634 Do Big Things (Second Change)

When the sun was setting, Lian Po, surrounded by many guards, slowly rode his horse into Dingxi City.

It is worth mentioning that since the gate of the city was blocked, it took almost half an hour just to clear the gate and open a road into the city.

As soon as Lian Po entered the city, he saw Zhao Kuo.

"I've seen the general!" Zhao Kuo's voice still sounded full of air.

Lian Po stopped the horse and gave Zhao Kuo a condescending look.

Even under the gloomy firelight, it is possible to see how embarrassed Zhao Kuo is.

The arm armor on the left shoulder has long since disappeared, and blood can still be seen faintly oozing out from the wound wrapped in white cloth. They could smell the strong smell of blood coming from Zhao Kuo.

When Lian Po looked at Zhao Kuo again, there was a little more appreciation in his eyes.

Lian Po jumped off his horse and said to Zhao Kuo, "How about the casualties?"

Zhao Kuo was startled for a moment, and then a blushed expression appeared on his face: "General, there are 3000 people defending the city, and now there are 400 people who can fight!"

As soon as this number came out, several Zhao generals behind Lian Po were shocked.

For the defenders, this is definitely an extremely high loss rate. With such a loss rate, it is simply a miracle that the city was able to survive the siege of ten times the enemy.

A serious look appeared on Lian Po's face, the appreciation in his eyes grew a little more, and even his voice became much gentler when he spoke.

"Zhao Kuo, you have done a good job. After this battle, I will write a letter to Handan to show you my merits!"

Once the Huns captured Dingxi City, the infantry-based Lianpo army lost such an important fulcrum, and the difficulty of winning would inevitably increase.

Maybe the old general hated the name Zhao Kuo very much during the Battle of Changping five years ago, but after so many years, now Lian Po looks at Zhao Kuo in front of him, and only a veteran on the battlefield appreciates the new generation of generals in his eyes and take seriously.

To the surprise of the Huns, Zhao's army did not launch an attack immediately after arriving in Dingxi City, but set up a camp outside the city. It seemed that they would start a confrontation with the Huns for a long time.

Regarding this point, Du Longqi Shanyu specially held a meeting.

"The Zhao people refused to fight, obviously because they are afraid of us! Great Chanyu, we should attack immediately and use the heads of these Zhao people as bone wine cups at the celebration banquet!"

The meeting was full of clamoring voices, and the people on the grassland never lacked in blood and desire for war.

But there are also more mature and prudent people: "The Zhao people have a whole army of 15, which is [-] more than ours. If they attack directly, they will probably suffer a lot!"

"The number of Yuezhi people is also more than us, but we also defeated Yuezhi!"

"You little idiot, the Yuezhi people are just a group of idiots just like you, but Zhao Guoren once defeated Xiuli Shanyu!"

"You old idiot, I think you followed Xiuli Shanyu back then and were scared by Zhao Guoren, so now seeing Zhao Guoren, you are so scared that you want to run away with your tail between your legs!"

The meeting eventually turned into a farce of cursing and fighting that caused Du Longqi Shanyu a headache, and finally broke up unhappy.

Du Longqi Shanyu did not withdraw his army in the end. After all, his goal at the beginning was to conquer Dingxi City first and then defeat the reinforcements from the Zhao State. no.

In general, the Huns were a little impatient.

Du Longqi Shanyu and those kings and princes were not the only ones who were impatient, but Xian Shan and Tu Xie were also impatient.

On the fourth night when Lian Po led Zhao Guo's army to Dingxi City, Xian Shan and Tu Xie got together.

"Do you think we will really succeed in doing this?" Xian Shan seemed to lack confidence.

The next moment, Xian Shan felt the obvious contempt in Tu Xie's eyes.

This kind of look made Xian Shan feel a little annoyed and at the same time slightly ashamed, so he couldn't help explaining to himself: "You must know that my mother-in-law and children are in this big camp. If I lose, They would be better off than dead."

Tu Xie sneered, and said, "Although my mother-in-law and children are not in this big camp, if I lose, they will also be miserable."

Xian Shan whispered very annoyed: "But I still think we are courting death, you know?"

"Nonsense!" Tu Xie also whispered: "We have made a very careful plan in advance, and this time it will definitely succeed."
