Within the city.

Because of Zhao Mu's instructions, the resting 10,000 Qin troops were in a secluded place in the innermost part. The noise from the front was no longer so loud when they reached here. If they plugged their ears, it would not affect their sleep at all.

In a certain house, a Qin soldier was lying on the bed and sound asleep.

But the owner of the house didn't know the situation. He was naturally awakened when he heard the noise in front of him. He couldn't help but ran to the Qin soldier's bed, had the courage to shake him awake, and at the same time shouted in a trembling voice: "Mighty man, strong man, hurry up."

Wake up..."

"What's wrong?" Qin Bing was awakened and looked at the Snow Tribe people with sleepy eyes.

The latter swallowed his saliva first, then pointed outside, and said nervously: "There seems to be a fight in front, strong man, listen..."

Seeing his appearance, the Qin soldiers had to take off the cloth stuffed in their ears. After listening for a while, they suddenly laughed and said, "Hey? You don't have to worry. General Zhao has already told me to just sleep."

"But this..." The Snow tribesman wanted to say something else.

But the soldier had already waved his hand and said comfortingly: "Sleep, sleep, ah, don't worry."

On the city wall.

The war drums had stopped, and the Qin army general was standing at the top of the city. After glancing at the soldiers below, he also smiled and asked, "Are you tired of shouting?"

"When you're tired of shouting, take a break and drink some water. We'll shout again later."

"General, what do you think the situation of these Xirong soldiers is now?" A soldier couldn't help but ask.

"Haha——" Pian Jiang smiled heartily and said: "Xian Da doesn't dare to sleep with such a movement..."

His name is Zhang Dashan, and he is one of the former generals of the rebel army. He led the local warriors in Xipingguan and fought against the Xirong for many years. He is not a drunkard, but a real bloody man.

On the Qin army's side, there was no movement after shouting to kill. It was not until a long time later that Xianda breathed a secret sigh of relief, and then waved his hand to let the soldiers below go to sleep.

But just as they fell asleep, the war drums of the Qin army sounded again.

Then, there were loud shouts of killing again, indicating that they were about to charge towards the Xirong camp.

Xianda woke up again. He had no choice but to gather his troops again, but when he got to the front, he saw that it was the same as before!

This time, not to mention him, the Xirong soldiers below were even more tortured. Everyone was so cold that they finally fell asleep. At this moment, after many Xirong soldiers gathered together, they could not help but tremble while standing there.

, and many people started to sneeze.

Half an hour later, there was no movement from the Qin army again.

Xianda's face was gloomy.

Then I returned to the camp and just fell asleep when I was woken up again!

This happened three times. This time, before he could say anything, Lieutenant General Xirong could no longer bear it and said angrily: "General! Zhao Mu is playing tricks on our army!"

"That's unreasonable!" Xianda was also very angry. He thought that the Qin army was going to attack the camp, but there was only thunder and no rain. In this situation, he himself didn't get any rest, let alone the soldiers below.

In anger, he also said decisively: "The Qin army is making a show, we will follow him for real! Send the order! Attack Xuecheng at night!"

Following his order, the Xirong soldiers simply stopped sleeping and began to work hard to launch a night attack on Xuecheng.

But the Qin army had already been prepared. Seeing this situation, Zhang Dashan on the top of the city didn't even panic. He even said directly: "I'm waiting for you to come!"

As he spoke, he unsheathed his sword and began to walk back and forth on the city wall, directing the Qin army to fight.

"Hit! Beat me hard -"

Suddenly, arrows rained down like rain, and the stones that had been prepared were continuously thrown down by the soldiers of the Qin army.

In the middle of the night, howls were heard everywhere.

Xianda wanted to storm Xuecheng by force with the superior force at hand, but that would require large siege equipment.

Such as trebuchets, siege engines, etc. They went deep into the snowy mountains and couldn't carry them with them. They only had ladders in hand. How could they capture this place in a short time?

Moreover, the Qin army was not weaker than the Xirong when they wore commoners and carried farm tools, let alone now!

In this night attack, Xianda suffered a head-on attack, and his troops suffered serious losses.

But until dawn, he did not withdraw his troops. He had the intention of taking over Xuecheng in one go.

At this time, due to the lack of troops, the pressure on the Qin army began to increase, but soon, the 10,000 rested soldiers arrived at the front line.

Zhao Mu had just gotten up not long ago. After arriving at the city, he waved his hand directly to Zhang Dashan: "General Zhang, your officers and men may be tired after a fierce battle all night. Let them go to the back to rest."

"Understood." Zhang Dashan did not write any ink. After clasping his fists and saluting, he led the soldiers who were guarding the city at night to retreat.

Subsequently, Zhao Mu began to defend the city gate with 10,000 troops.

The Qin army was recharging its strength, while the Xirong army not only did not sleep all day and night, but also fought hard all night. The whole army was already exhausted.

And with the arrival of these ten thousand Qin troops, the situation changed instantly.

On the Xirong side, the deputy general couldn't help but said anxiously: "General! Our army almost attacked the city just now, but! But now why has it suddenly changed! The Qin army's resistance has become more and more fierce..."

Xianda naturally discovered this situation. His face was gloomy and he said coldly: "Continue to attack!"

He did not order the withdrawal of troops, so Xirong had no choice but to attack the city. However, the combat strength of the two sides was no longer directly proportional at this time. The Qin army was full of energy and morale, while Xirong became more and more depressed as they fought.

After attacking for another half an hour, many Xirong soldiers had lost their strength. They had just climbed up the ladder and were knocked down before they could move.

The arrows shot by many others have become weak and weak...

Seeing that they could not attack for a long time and their morale was exhausted, Lieutenant General Xirong approached Xianda again and said: "General, the current situation is very unfavorable for our army, so we should withdraw our troops temporarily."

Xianda was silent.

Seeing this, the lieutenant general advised again: "Our warriors have not rested for a day and a night. Not only are they fighting on an empty stomach, many of them are suffering from cold and illness. If we continue to fight like this, we are going to die, General...

…”

Hearing this, Xianda couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then had no choice but to say unwillingly: "Send the order to withdraw the troops!"

"Yes!" The deputy general quickly took the order and left.

Following the military order, all the soldiers in Xirong breathed a sigh of relief. For a while, many people lay sprawled on the snow, feeling weak.

Xian Da rode his war horse to a stone's throw from the city. He looked at Zhao Mu at the top of the city, stretched out his hand and said angrily:

"Zhao Mu! You can only use these little tricks! Do you dare to switch on and off to duel with our army!"

His words were in blunt Chinese language. When Zhao Mu heard the words, he couldn't help but chuckle and said loudly:
Chapter completed!
