Seventy miles away from Yuyang County.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were marching rapidly.
Looking out, the road was covered in darkness, stretching for thousands of miles.
There were strong men and tall horses.
These were all the elites of the empire.
It was the 200,000 troops led by General Meng Tian, as well as the defeated troops from the various counties.
At this moment, Meng Tian rode her horse in front, her brows slightly furrowed.
Since yesterday, he had already encountered several waves of defeated frontline troops.
Among them were Liaodong County, Liaoxi County, and Shangdang County.
These few places were all counties with more troops stationed at the border.
But even so, they were still defeated by the Hu's sneak attack.
However, what Meng Tian found strange was that among the four counties on the western border, there were only two counties.
Where was Yuyang County, which had the weakest garrison?
Why was he nowhere to be seen?
Had they been completely annihilated, or…
Thinking of this, Meng Tian felt a wave of frustration.
"Ta Ta Ta!"
At this moment, a fast horse approached from the road ahead.
Meng Tian looked up. It was one of the Pegasus scouts who had been sent out to investigate Yuyang County.
"General, there is news from Yuyang County!”
Hmm?
"Hurry up and tell me!" Meng Tian's eyes lit up.
It seemed that he had already investigated the situation in Yuyang County.
The scout dismounted and reported the information he had obtained.
"General!"
" According to the information we received."
"On the night the Hu attacked the border, the guards of Yuyang County received some news in advance.”
"That night, before the Hu army arrived, they set up an ambush and caught the enemy off guard, causing them to flee in defeat!”
"The troops stationed in Yuyang Prefecture and the city's garrison wiped out more than ten thousand enemies and disrupted their deployment.”
"It became the only county in the eight counties of the northern border that has not fallen!”
The scout horse didn't lower his voice, so his words were heard by the generals nearby.
Each and every one of them had a change in expression and were extremely surprised.
A heated discussion about the Yuyang County incident began.
"Hahaha!" Meng Tian slapped her thigh and laughed.
At this moment, the haze that had plagued him for many days dissipated a little.
Out of the eight counties in the Northern Borderline, only Yuyang County was preserved.
Moreover, they had wiped out more than 10,000 enemies in one battle!
For now, this news was undoubtedly the best news to boost the morale of the army!
This county captain of Yuyang County should be rewarded!
Meng Tian thought to herself and had already made plans.
When he arrived at Yuyang County, he would definitely reward the local garrison.
He wanted to let the troops of the other counties who had retreated in defeat see this…This was what the Empire's border garrison should look like.
......
Meng Tian thought.
However, he did not notice the anxious expression on the horse scout's face.
"General, I have another matter to report.”
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Oh?" "Speak!" Meng Tian looked at him.
The scout knelt on one knee and said,"Before I came, I received news…"
"The Hu of the nearby counties have gathered thirty thousand troops and are heading toward Yuyang County.”
" Yuyang County has less than 7,000 soldiers. The county captain has also ordered the troops stationed in various places to hold their positions and not to rescue them…"
Hearing this, Meng Tian couldn't help but be moved.
"What a good Yuyang County Lieutenant!" he muttered.”
Then, he straightened his face and raised his voice."All troops, listen up!"
"Advance at full speed. Our destination is Yuyang County City!”
"Yes, sir!"
On the main road, the two hundred thousand elite soldiers of the dynasty sped up again.
They set off in the direction of Yuyang County at full speed, while Meng Tian personally led her trump card Golden Fire Cavalry to Yuyang County!
......
Yuyang County City.
Tens of thousands of Hu cavalry charged at the walls.
On the city wall, the Qin army defended the city below.
For a moment, rolling stones and kerosene were thrown down from the city tower as if they were free.
There was also a rain of arrows that covered the sky and covered the earth, shooting down from above.
A large number of Hu cavalrymen died under the heavy firepower.
......
Hundreds of meters away.
Helian Meng gritted his teeth as he watched this scene.
His entire body was trembling with anger and he was helpless.
He knew that this time, he had encountered a tough opponent.
He had investigated long ago. The other guards were holed up in the encampment, and there were only 7,000 guards in the city at the moment.
However, these 7,000 soldiers had caused a lot of damage to his 30,000-strong army.
In these few waves of attacks, the number of Hu casualties from the rolling stones, kerosene, and arrows had reached several thousand.
......
Suddenly.
Helian Meng looked at the city tower in the distance, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
He noticed that after these two waves of attacks, the rolling stones and arrows of the Qin army were not as dense.
"Hehe, is it almost exhausted?”
"Humph! I'd like to see how long you can hold on!”
Helian Meng's expression hardened as he shouted.
"All troops, listen up! Speed up the attack!”
"Today, the first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep and ten women from the Qin country!”
With these words, the Hu soldiers, who had been suffocated by the barrage of fire, immediately felt their morale soar.
One by one, they shouted angrily and pounced towards the city gate tower, climbing up one by one.
For women, for cows and sheep, they had already risked their lives!
......
On the city tower.
Liu Heng cut off the hook rope thrown by the enemy with one sword.
Looking at the crowd below, his heart sank.
At this moment, a soldier ran over quickly.
"Sir, the rolling stones have been used up, and the kerosene and arrows have also been used up. We…"
As soon as he said that, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers darkened.
They all knew that without the suppression of firepower, the enemy's advantage of several times over them would soon be revealed.
At that time, without the rolling stones, kerosene, and arrows, countless Hu would climb up the city walls…
Liu Heng's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. The worst-case scenario had still appeared.
Their reserves were exhausted, and their morale was extremely low.
Could it be that my Yuyang County City really can't hold on any longer?
Thinking of this, Liu Heng shook his head fiercely.
"Clang!"
The Qin Sword in his hand was unsheathed and pointed into the distance.
"Soldiers, the empire's army is on the way to reinforce them.”
"We just need to hold on for a while longer before they arrive and chase these Hu scumbags out of our homeland,"
"Children, pull out your Qin swords and follow me to meet the enemy. The Qin army is immortal, the empire…Long live!"
......
On the city tower.
The thousands of defenders were instantly ignited with a burning passion.
The dynasty's army was on the way to reinforce them and would arrive soon.
They only needed to hold on for a moment longer before they could wait for reinforcements…
At that time, their families would not be massacred, and their friends would not die tragically under the hands of the Hu people…
For a moment, the thousands of guards on the gate tower drew their swords and shouted,"
" The Qin army is immortal. Long live the empire!"
" The Qin army is immortal. Long live the empire!"
" The Qin army is immortal. Long live the empire!"
......
On the city tower, the defending troops lost their cover fire, and more and more enemy troops climbed up.
The soldiers waved the Qin swords in their hands and repelled wave after wave of attacks.
They all had a belief in their hearts, and that was to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
However, only Liu Heng knew that…There were no reinforcements at all…
