Due to morale reasons, the Beidi soldiers did not want to or dared to attack the city. In this case, they fought together and the two sides made a decision.

While he was timid, his fighting spirit was high.

The Beidi Army could not even climb half way up the ladder, let alone attack the first step of the city!

Under the rocks and rolling trees, countless people screamed and fell.

Most of the soldiers around the ladder waved their sabers and blocked arrows randomly. Out of fear, they did not dare to climb the ladder for a long time.

But on the battlefield, the more timid they are, the faster they will die!

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, Shane, who was looking at the overall situation, couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled the reins angrily and turned the horse's head: "Retreat first!"

As soon as he left, the golden sound of Beidi sounded, and the army in front began to rush like a tide, leaving corpses on the ground.

This siege battle was really frustrating for Beidi.

In the era of cold weapons, a city was not so easy to capture. In many cases, tens of thousands of troops could not even attack one or two thousand defenders.

The main reason is that the city is too tall and condescending. If you want to get up, you have to climb a ladder, which gives the defenders a certain advantage.

Due to the limited battlefield area, even if the attackers had the upper hand, it was impossible to deploy the entire army at once. At that time, siege equipment was not developed and the means of breaking the city were limited.

Coupled with the morale of Beidi, it would be strange if they could be defeated!

After a hasty withdrawal, the Beidi army returned to its main camp.

Shane's face looked even uglier than yesterday.

All the generals were depressed, and many of them lowered their heads and remained silent.

Some people also said: "If Tang Yue is not here, this city will be easy to destroy, but with his presence, our soldiers will be afraid of his name and will not fight forward. This is a very serious problem. If we attack hard like this, I am afraid that the city will be destroyed."

The casualties were huge.”

Another person said: "The Qin army is heavily defended and has sufficient defensive equipment. From the current point of view, a strong attack is not the best strategy. It is better to trap Jingchuan from all sides and cut off Tang Yue's supplies."

After hearing this, Vice General Beidi said: "But Jingchuan is an important military town, and there must be a large amount of grain, grass and weapons stored in the city. Furthermore, what should we do if Zhao Mu mobilizes troops to support and cooperate with Tang Yue inside and outside?"

"Wouldn't it be better if Zhao Mu supports us? Don't they have a tactic in the Central Plains called siege and reinforcements, which can be used."

At this point in the discussion, Shane also nodded slowly and said: "Well, from the current point of view, this tactic can be adopted. Tang Yue's morale is now so high that it is not appropriate to blunt its edge."

After saying that, he immediately decided: "Send the order, starting from tomorrow, besiege but not attack. When the enemy is slightly weaker, it will not be too late to capture Jingchuan!"

"Yes!" All the generals saluted in unison.

The Beidi offensive was thwarted, leaving Tang Yue with nothing to do. Shane immediately changed his tactics and began to shift from a strong attack to a long-term siege posture. All the troops also surrounded Jingchuan from four directions.

This situation was soon discovered by the Qin army.

After understanding the current situation, Tang Yue also started discussions with the generals.

He didn't feel any panic, but rather didn't take it seriously, because there was indeed enough food and grass in Jingchuan City.

Ai Ping said: "I am not afraid of siege, but I am a little worried. This is a plan to siege Beidi and recruit reinforcements. It is intended to lure me to reinforce."

"Well..." Tang Yue nodded thoughtfully. After thinking for a moment, he said directly: "In that case, you should immediately send a letter to Zhao Mu and tell him not to pay attention to Jingchuan."

"Ah?" Ai Ping didn't react when he heard this. Others were surrounded and couldn't wait to ask for support. How could anyone refuse reinforcements?

But Tang Yue said again: "That's it!"

"This, yes, General Mo will go and deliver the message right now."

The army besieged the city and traffic was blocked, but they could not stop the Qin army's intelligence.

Zhao Mu's defense line was not too far from Jingchuan, about three hundred miles away. In just one day, falcons were already circling over the military camp.

Not long after, a Snow Clan leader walked in through the curtain, clasped his fists and said, "General, a letter from Jingchuan."

"Oh? Show it to me quickly." Zhao Mu's face straightened.

The small bamboo tube was handed to Shuai An, who opened it, took out the small strip of cloth inside, unfolded it, and frowned suddenly.

When a Qin general saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "General, what do you want to ask me?"

Zhao Mu put away the banner and said: "Jingchuan is besieged, and the main force in Beidi intends to besiege the city and call for reinforcements."

"Then, what should we do?"

"Well..." Zhao Mu pondered for a moment: "Tang Yue meant that we should ignore it, but on my side, I am a little worried that Shane will not stop fighting. If the siege lasts too long, accidents will inevitably happen. In this way, our troops will immediately

Deploy 30,000 troops to approach Jingchuan from the side and rear, but do not enter the ambush route, and only stay there to prevent Tang Yue from breaking out, so that we can respond in time."

After saying that, he also looked at a general and made a decision directly: "General Liu, you can do this."

"No!" the latter shouted in shock, holding his fists in the air.

In this way, both sides began to deploy separately.

A few days later, Beidi received military information, saying that Zhao Mu's 30,000 troops and horses had rushed to the direction of Jingchuan for reinforcements.

At first, the Beidi generals, together with Sha En, were all happy and prepared for a full-scale ambush. However, after the 30,000 soldiers and horses approached Jingchuan, they never left again and began to station themselves in place and set up

Military defense line.

At this time, people were dumbfounded.

In the big tent, his deputy general was dumbfounded and said: "Here, what does the Qin army mean?"

"It seems that they have seen through our ambush intention." Shane shook his head and said immediately: "Continue the siege! I don't believe it, they really don't support us!"

But Tang Yue was in a state of great victory, and there was no shortage of food and grass. There was no trace of panic. And more importantly, the reinforcements were not far from Jingchuan. Through the falcon, both sides could even pass within one day.

If there is any news through multiple letters, you will know immediately.

In this case, Beidi wanted to rely on superior troops to surround Jingchuan, but again, it only had 200,000 mouths.

In the end, it was Shane who could no longer withstand the situation, and the Beidi generals also began to have a heated discussion on whether to continue the siege.

Some people suggested that we should fight for supplies with the Qin army, and that we would continue to transport food and grass to the front line, but not withdraw.

But someone immediately said that our side was fighting in Liangdi. The supply line was not in the country and there was a risk of being robbed halfway. Moreover, Zhao Mu was still watching eagerly from the side. If we fight for supplies, we don’t know how much is left in Jingchuan City.

forage.

A siege is also a matter of situation. The most basic factor is that you have to ensure the safety of the rear traffic arteries.

But in the case of the Beidi Army, this is obviously not possible.

At this point in the war, a dilemma arose for Shane. Finally, after discussion, he chose the majority opinion and temporarily withdrew his troops.
