Just as Pang Nuan led his army to the south at a rapid speed, a massive siege was also taking place outside Pingyin City.

Countless short Hun cavalry held a ladder made of trees temporarily cut down on the mountain, screaming and rushing towards the walls of Pingyin City with great courage.

These Huns were dressed in strange clothes, and many of them were wearing Zhao army armor and holding Zhao army weapons, which seemed quite conspicuous and inappropriate in the Xiongnu formation.

On the walls of Pingyin City, hundreds of archers from Zhao State had already been prepared.

"shoot!"

Countless arrows poured down from the walls of Pingyin City, shooting down the Huns.

However, since the formation of the Huns was quite scattered, although these densely covered bows and arrows caused killing, their lethality was quite limited.

After a while, the Huns rushed under the tall city wall of Pingyin City. Amid the shouts of the Huns, more than a dozen cloud ladders leaned against the city head one after another. Then the Huns soldiers began to crawl onto the city wall like ants.

On the city wall, the soldiers of Zhao State were condescending and kept shooting at the Huns under the city.

From time to time, the ladder was pushed away from the city by the soldiers of Zhao State with long spears and spears, but occasionally some brave Hun warriors would climb up all the way and fight fiercely with the soldiers of Zhao State on the city wall.

Amid the shocking shouts of killing, the number of deaths on both sides is increasing sharply.

To the north of Pingyin City, there is a large Hun cavalry phalanx with more than 10,000 people. At the center of the phalanx is where the current leader of the Huns, Xiuli Shanyu, is located.

The Huli Shanyu looked about forty years old. Zhang De looked like a typical Hun, his eyes were shining brightly, and his face looked a little sinister.

There is certainly a reason why Xili Shanyu was in a bad mood.

"It's been eight days, and I can't even capture a small Pingyin City. It's just a bunch of waste!"

As soon as the words of Xili Chanyu were spoken, the many Hun generals who were riding horses around Xili Chanyu were involuntarily embarrassed.

Xili Shanyu looked around and sneered, "Why, are you still dissatisfied? You must know that Pingyin City is only 2,000 Zhao soldiers stationed, and the total number of residents inside is no more than 10,000. But such a small city actually blocked our Hun army for eight days!"

The rebuke of the Xiongli Shanyu made the Hun generals around him so speechless.

Of course, not everyone listened to the rebuke of the Xiongli Shanyu. A Xiongnu general who was about thirty years old who stood on the left of the Xiongli Shanyu had a clear expression of dissatisfaction on his face.

Xili Shanyu obviously noticed the expression of the Hun general and slowly asked, "What, Zuo Xianwang, do you have any objections?"

King Zuo Xian hummed twice and said to Xiuli Shanyu: "I dare not. But in my opinion, the reason why I cannot capture this Pingyin City is not because the Huns warriors were not working hard enough, but because it was really a problem of equipment gap."

Xili Chanyu snorted and said indifferently: "Speak on."

Zuo Xianwang said, "Shanyu, these Zhao people are all wearing armor, and the longbows they hold are at least eight stones, and the arrows can easily penetrate our bodies. Our warriors are just wearing fur coats, and the longbows in their hands are far inferior to those of Zhao people. Even the arrows of the warriors are made of sharpened bones, which is too big."

Another Xiongnu general with strong eyebrows on the side also said: "Da Shanyu, this city is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. Why don't we continue to go south and find other target villages."

This is the right wise king of the Huns.

One of these two wise kings was the leader of the Subu family, and the other was the leader of the Huyan family. They were both leaders of the large tribes among the Huns, second only to the Kaoru family, so they had the confidence to question the Shanyu's decision.

This question obviously made Xi Li Shanyu very unhappy. He sneered and said, "If this Pingyin City cannot be taken down, do you know what the end of my Xiongnu tribe will face? I can't survive this winter at all!"

Zuo Xianwang said worriedly: "But if the Zhao army comes to support us, what should we do? I heard that Zhao defeated Qin's millions of troops in Changping a few years ago!"

Xiuli Shanyu laughed loudly and said, "Zuo Xianwang, I didn't expect that you were also trapped by the Zhao people! Let me tell you, the Zhao army is now fighting against the Qin people in the Central Plains, so where can I have time to pay attention to this northern border?"

"Take it seriously?" The wise kings around looked at Xiuli Shanyu half-believingly.

Xiuli Chanyu said confidently: "This matter was sent by the King of Yiqiu to report to this Chanyu, absolutely true!"

"King Yiqiu?" Zuo Xianwang said in surprise: "Isn't Yiqiu already destroyed by Qin? But I heard that even the two sons born by King Yiqiu and the Queen Mother of Qin were killed by King Ji of Qin!"

Xiuli Chanyu smiled and said, "Although Yiqu was destroyed by Qin by despicable means, the people of Yiqu were also part of our nomadic people. How could they be willing to live under the Qin people? When they defeated Yuezhi and Lin Hu, Ben Chanyu would take the horse south and take all the lands of the five northern counties of Zhao State and Shangjun of Qin State, which originally belonged to our nomadic people in the Xiongnu!"

When Xiuli Shanyu said this, he was passionate and full of energy. It seemed that a bright future was right in front of him. Zhao and Qin could only kneel at the feet of Xiuli Shanyu tremble...

However, the confidence of the Xiongli Shanyu is also reasonable. In recent years, the Huns have gradually gained advantages in their confrontation with their mortal enemy Yuezhi, showing their strong side.

In the plan of Xili Shanyu, as long as you grab enough food and slaves from Zhao State, you can launch a super-large attack on Yuezhi next year.

In the eyes of Xili Shanyu, the power of the Huns was just around the corner!

The fierce siege continued, and the casualties of both sides continued to increase, but it was obvious that the deaths and injuries of the Huns were several times more than those of the defenders of Zhao State.

The sun gradually climbed from the east to the center of the sky, and it came at noon.

At this moment, a Hun leader rushed over.

"Shanyu, the army of Zhao was discovered twenty miles away from the north!"

"What?" Xiuli Shanyu's face changed drastically and he shouted: "This is impossible! How many Zhao troops are there?"

The commander of the thousand-man replied: "I can't see clearly, it's about 20,000 to 30,000."

Because the Zhao army's marching team was very long and the Huns' scouts did not dare to approach the investigation, a misjudgment arose.

"Twenty or thirty thousand people?" After hearing the news, Xi Li Shanyu's face looked gloomy and hesitant.

The Youxian King on the side hurriedly advised: "Shanyu, it's still time to retreat now. There are not many cavalrymen in Zhao and cannot catch up with us."

This sentence seemed to stimulate the Hugli Chanyu.
