Chapter 165 Planning and Attack

"Damn it!"

Naturally, King Sun Zhu would not believe the lie that the Han army was blessed by the Immortal Heaven.

But the Han army suddenly used ice and sleds to build a small ice and snow city on the highlands, which was beyond his expectation.

Looking at the small ice and snow city on the high ground, the Huns, who lacked siege equipment and experience, had no good ideas at the moment.

After carefully observing the terrain of the highlands and the location of the Han army, King Ri Zhu finally issued a new order.

"Pass this king's order to gather all the horn bows that can still be used!"

Concentrating all the bows and arrows to suppress the Han army and cover the remaining soldiers on the high ground was the only way that King Sun Zhu could think of for the time being.

The Han army also concentrated all its crossbows, and the two sides started shooting at each other across the hillside.

…

When King Ri Zhu was besieging Zhang Yue, King Ou Tuo also arrived at the Han army's fortress north of Chehe City with 3,000 troops.

The current defender of the North Barrier is Guo Kai, who has just arrived from Luntai with reinforcements.

Also arriving with him were Sanqu Tuntian soldiers and 600 Kucha soldiers temporarily recruited by the Han army.

In addition to the Han troops and Yi Cong who originally stayed at the North Barrier.

At this time, the strength of the North Barrier had reached as high as 3,200, and the number of troops even exceeded that of the King of Europe.

It's just that the number of cavalry is not large, only about 700 cavalry.

After King Outu arrived at the North Barrier, he first set up camp five miles west of the Han army's barrier.

Immediately, he sent someone to contact Tu E in Jiaohe City.

"I heard that King Otu has brought people outside the city?"

In the palace, the chariot master king asked Tu Er.

"Yes, King Ou Tuo arrived at noon today and is now stationed northwest of the Han Army's North Barrier?"

The Driver King rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "That's very good, very good!"

"Did King Otet mention when he would attack the Han army's fortress?"

Tu E smiled slightly and said, "King Ou Tuo has sent someone to contact me and wants to attack the Han army's barrier tomorrow!"

The driver Wang was overjoyed, "Good, great good!"

But Tu Er shook his head, "I have already sent people to reject King Otuo..."

The driver Wang Er asked in surprise, "Why is that so?"

Tu Er took the Cheshi King to the outside of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, look at the current weather. Even if we go to war, how effective will the soldiers in the city be?"

The charioteer Wang Muran said hesitantly after a long time, "Isn't there still King Outu's army?"

Tu Er's expression changed when he heard this, "King Che Shi, you want me, the Great Huns, to pull chestnuts from the fire for you..."

…

King Ou Tue was also unhappy after receiving Tu Er's reply.

Although Tue gave a lot of reasons in his letter, in King Outo's view, they were all just excuses.

"Tu'e is a coward, a coward..."

King Otu scolded him for a long time before he calmed down.

At this time, Lancôme cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

King Otuo snorted coldly, "Let's try to feign an attack tomorrow..."

Although King Outo was angry, he had not lost his mind.

After calming down, he found that what Tue said was not completely unreasonable.

In this weather, it is indeed difficult for the warriors to display their fighting power.

More importantly, Tu E mentioned that Han reinforcements seemed to have arrived last night.

It was this that really calmed down King O'Britt.

The Han infantry was also difficult to deal with.

…

The information that King Outet's troops had arrived at Jiaohe City had been sent to Han Jiang in the afternoon.

Han Jiang immediately summoned a group of officers from the South Barrier to discuss the matter.

"Gentlemen, now that the princes are surrounded, and King Otuo is also approaching the city with troops, we have entered the stage of life and death. If you have any high opinions, please speak freely..."

Mahan stood up, frowned and said, "I wonder how many elite knights King Outuo has this time?"

Han Jiang said, "The news from the Thousand Niu Guards is that King Otuo sent two thousand elite cavalry this time, and there are more than a thousand Pulei and A'ai cavalry..."

Mahan lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "The elite cavalry of King Ou Tuo on the right side of the Xiongnu have always been known for their strong combat power... Most of us are soldiers and loyal followers... fighting with them in the wild, I'm afraid It’s not good for me…”

Han Jiang nodded in agreement, "What Captain Ma said is true, but attacking Jiaohe City is not easy!"

At this time, Dong Fei, who had always been reticent to speak, stood up.

"Gentlemen, it is not impossible to attack Jiaohe!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Dong Fei in surprise.

No one expected that Dong Fei, who had always been silent, would make such shocking remarks.

Han Jiang said, "Commander Dong, what do you think!"

Dong Fei scratched his head and said: "These days, I see the army trapped under Jiaohe City..."

"Jiaohe City is difficult to break. The biggest problem is that the river valley is so narrow that it is impossible to move the military formation... The second is the cliff that is more than ten feet high..."

"I have been thinking about how to climb the cliff these days, and I finally found something recently..."

At this point, he took out some strange-looking things from behind.

If Zhang Yue can recognize it again, these are all rock climbing tools.

Han Jiang looked at the thing in his hand, frowned and said, "Commander Dong, have you tried it?"

Dong Fei replied affirmatively, "I have already used it... There are more than 40 famous soldiers in my army who can skillfully use this thing..."

Han Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this, "If we can break through Jiaohe City, you will be the first to do it!"

At dawn, it is the darkest time before dawn, and it is also the time when people are most tired and sleepy.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, Dong Fei and his thirty or so soldiers quietly reached the cliff in the west of Jiaohe City and began to climb.

Perhaps the gods were truly blessing. When Dong Fei and his men were halfway up the climb, snow started to fall in the sky again.

Although this made the climb more difficult, it also gave the Han army better cover.

"Damn weather!"

There should have been more than ten car masters stationed on the cliff here.

But because the Han army had been besieging the city for two months, there was no attack. The soldiers of the Che Division who relaxed their vigilance would sneak home from time to time.

There were only three unlucky guys on duty on the cliff today.

Seeing that the snow is getting heavier and heavier, the weather is getting colder and colder.

The three of them together actually retreated into the hut on the cliff.

Dong Fei actually climbed onto the cliff like this smoothly.

"Second and third sons, come on!"

The three guards in the hut were sleeping soundly in front of the stove...

Before dawn, more than a hundred soldiers had climbed onto the cliff.

…

Dawn had just arrived, and the Huns in the north of Jiaohe City and the Han army in the south of Jiaohe City had the opportunity to launch operations at the same time.

After King Outu let the soldiers have their meals, he lined up outside the northern barrier, intending to break through the Han army's barrier.

Han Jiang also led the Han troops from the south wall to line up outside the east gate of Jiaohe City.

After a series of trebuchets were set up, the Han army sharpened their swords and vowed to attack Jiaohe City in one fell swoop.

The actions of the Han army naturally alarmed the Cheshi people and the Huns in the city.

The Cheshi Wang and Tu E rushed to the east of the city immediately.

"What are the Han troops doing?"

The fifth update is completed today, and the fifth update will be continued tomorrow!
