After the feint attack, the Western Rong people rushed forward completely to the sound of drums.

Feng Shiyan commanded the soldiers and civilians on the city wall in an orderly manner. When the Western Rong troops approached, he shot rounds of arrows downstairs.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a lot of people.

He Qiudi hid behind the city wall and threw the alcohol balls he brought with him down to the bottom of the wall.

The alcohol ball burned, stuck on the arrow, and shot into the army.

Shoot twice and then change the place.

Her alcohol ball was resistant to burning, and when it fell on the Xirong people, they thought it was just ordinary rosin and didn't take it seriously.

Yang Ba and Yang Jiu helped her.

Soon, the area within 50 meters of the city wall was brightly lit. By the time the Xirong commanders reacted, a group of them had already been shot dead by arrows from the upper floors.

Soon, the first wave of attacks was repelled.

After the repair, it was the second round of attack.

In the second round, after discussing with Yan Shi, He Qiudi used a catapult to throw the high-concentration alcohol she had prepared towards the enemy.

In the darkness, He Qiudi used a flaming crossbow arrow to ignite the alcohol in mid-air. Amid the huge explosion, fireflies flew everywhere.

Feng Shiyan trained crossbowmen well, and killed important enemy generals in the chaos.

Countless small flags, general flags, and centurions within 300 meters of the city wall were injured, and even a thousand-captain lieutenant was injured.

The second round of attacks resulted in significant casualties and the enemy was forced to retreat again.

After trimming.

At about four o'clock, just before dawn, the Xirong people launched their third attack.

This time, their soldiers of status and position all changed into new armor and could not be recognized.

In the second round of attack, the point-to-point killing method used by Feng Shiyan and He Qiudi was no longer effective.

Almost all of them charged forward, and the densely packed corpses piled up to the city wall of Lan County.

During the third round of attack, the defenders of Lan County began to feel the strain.

Dawn is coming.

Finally, a few of them rushed up the city wall, but before they took a few steps, their heads were chopped off with a knife.

Blood splattered three feet away.

He still maintained the posture of rushing forward.

The Xirong people couldn't believe that the Great Zhou had such an extremely sharp weapon.

These people holding steel knives were all Feng Shiyan's confidants and carefully selected elite soldiers. With only a few dozen people, they were able to control the overall situation on the city wall.

Seeing that they could not capture Lan County for the time being and the number of casualties was increasing, the commanding general of the Western Rong began to consider retreating.

Just when they were weak, thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared on the left and right sides of the Rong army, and they attacked and killed them. In a short period of time, they killed countless enemies and made them lose their formation.

The opposing general panicked and his formation collapsed. Soon, they sounded the call to withdraw their troops and retreated like the tide.

Its daybreak.

Feng Shiyan stood high on the city wall and could clearly see the formation of the Western Rong people.

This time they are coming with probably tens of thousands of people to attack Lan County.

He Qiudi also saw it.

So many people came.

No wonder the Xirong people still firmly believed that they could catch Feng Shiyan in a trap, and they didn't even bother to launch a surprise attack and kill him by surprise.

Looking at the retreating army, He Qiudi took out a military crossbow with a range of nearly a thousand meters, and shot at the man who seemed to be wearing the armor of a commanding general without hesitation.

This military crossbow has a greater range and power than the crossbows she gave to the banquet, but this was a crossbow for shooting at enemy troops, so she replaced it with an ordinary iron crossbow.

After the arrow was shot, she heard a faint "bang" sound. She saw the general standing upright on the horse's back, with the crossbow arrow piercing his body. However, he was a soldier with a strong will, and he quickly retreated as if nothing had happened, holding the horse's belly.

He Qiudi put down the military crossbow and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that everyone around her were Feng Shiyan's confidants and no one else was paying attention to her, she handed the military crossbow to Feng Shiyan.

He Qingya: "..."

Tonight was the most adventurous she had ever felt in her two lifetimes.

She never expected that her aunt would be so powerful.

Could it be that it was her husband in her previous life who taught her how to save her life?

Seeing this, He Qingya felt somewhat fortunate that her aunt was reborn earlier than her. When she listened to her mother and tried to commit suicide again and again, her aunt did not kill her directly, but gave her and her mother chances again and again.

What a pity, Auntie...

He Qiudi lay down and leaned against the parapet: "Shi Yan, don't chase after a desperate enemy. Let the cavalrymen who are strangling the left and right wings come back. They have a lot of people, but there is no guarantee that they won't set up an ambush. Let's find out their details and slowly wear them down."

"Ah."

Feng Shiyan immediately went to find the lieutenant-general guarding the city and asked him to issue an order to recall the two teams of cavalry that were killing people outside Lan County.

The first night attack by the Xirong people was defended.

There was cheering and joy throughout Lan County.

Feng Shiyan ordered the firemen to prepare sumptuous food to reward all the soldiers and civilians in Lan County and let everyone have a full meal.

After a full meal, they recuperated and gathered their strength to meet the attack of the Western Rong people.

Feng Shiyan quickly wrote the report, sealed it with wax, and had people deliver it to Ningyuan County, Licheng, and Kuncheng respectively.

It explains the scale of the Western Rong people's attack on Lan County.

Ningyuan County is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

You can leave only part of the troops to guard Ningyuan County, and dispatch troops to Lan County to wait for support, cooperate with Lan County, attack the Xirong troops from both sides, and outflank them.

Feng Shiyan thought that since the Western Rong people had sent so many troops this time, they would be able to take over Lan County in one fell swoop.

As a result, they only stationed their troops about ten to twenty miles west, south and north of Lan County, surrounding Lan County and not taking the initiative to attack for the time being.

The idea is to surround Lan County, but not to attack.

The purpose is obvious, which is to make Lan County lack water and food.

Feng Shiyan was not in a hurry about this.

They have no shortage of food.

There was a shortage of water before, but now there is no shortage of water.

The troops arranged by Ningyuan County have been hiding in the mountains on the border between Lan County and Ningyuan County and have not come out.

Both sides are testing each other's bottom line.

For seven or eight days, neither side took any major action.

Feng Shiyan also took this opportunity to capture most of the spies in Lan County.

Instead, he used the method He Qiudi taught her to train a "special elite team" who infiltrated the Xirong people's military camp and burned several of their food supplies, causing them a lot of losses.

The news from Lan County was firmly locked in the city.

The Xirong people were completely unaware that they were no longer short of water.

Lan County was besieged for more than ten days.

The Western Rong people didn't dare to attack again, but the lives of the city residents had to continue.

After getting over the worry of the previous two days, He Qiudi regained his composure.

That day, she went to patrol the city as usual and release water. When she passed by an embroidery shop, she found that it was open for business.

Out of curiosity, she took He Qingya to buy two sets of clothes. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xu Yushi choosing clothes inside, and a slightly fat man was standing next to her.

The man seemed to be in his thirties, quite well-off, and dressed in fancy clothes. He looked like a wealthy or noble man.
