Ten days later, ten miles outside Yuzhong City, Han Sui joined forces with soldiers and horses to camp.

This time Han Sui learned the lesson of the previous defeat, and with the help of his military adviser Cheng Gongying, he immediately camped 250,000 troops.

It has to be said that Cheng Gongying has a unique vision in occupying geographical advantages. The entire coalition army camp is in a dangerous position, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can very effectively contain the surprise attack of the Yizhou army.

It's a pity that Cheng Gongying's efforts were almost in vain, and Liu Zhang's entire army had no plans to leave the city at all!

The 250,000 army settled down for a whole day, and Han Sui led the army to attack Yuzhong after confirming that there were no problems and hidden dangers in the camp.

Learning the lessons of the previous defeat again, this time Han Sui only led an army of 50,000, including 10,000 cavalry, to ensure that Liu Zhang could effectively deal with fraud.

No matter whether the siege battle goes well or not, Han Sui must ensure that the scene of the entire army's rout last time will not be repeated.

Facts have proved that Han Sui's prevention was very successful, with 10,000 cavalry guarding the battlefield at all times, and the gate of Yuzhong City was not opened at all.

It's a pity that things didn't go exactly as Han Sui wanted. Han Sui, who held the belief of victory and intended to eliminate Yizhou Army and Liu Zhang, encountered another setback.

After nine days of siege, the coalition forces killed and injured more than 20,000 people, and finally they didn't even climb the city wall!

The main reason here is not the quality of Han Sui's command or the Qiang soldiers, but the lack of effective siege equipment.

Han Sui's army was still using so-called ladders on the ladders used to attack the city. Liu Zhang had ten thousand ways to kill the Qiang soldiers on the ladders.

Whether it's burning fire, shooting arrows, throwing stones, or even pushing down the ladder!

The Qiang soldiers will always suffer heavy casualties under the endless defensive methods of the Yuzhong defenders!

After the defeat in the first battle, the morale was slightly low, and with the successive victories, the entire coalition army was dead silent.

Under the influence of the increasingly cold weather, the fighting power of the Qiang people is getting lower and lower, and they have no clothes to keep out the cold.

As long as it is the wounded in the siege battle, it is almost difficult to survive.

In nearly ten days, nearly four to five thousand people died of freezing alone!

This is because the Qiang people are used to the severe cold in winter. In fact, the Yizhou Army is still suffering unspeakably under such a perfect logistical guarantee.

At present, in this era, there is no cotton to keep out the cold. If you want to resist the cold, you can only wear as many clothes as possible and eat more high-calorie foods such as meat.

The Yizhou Army naturally has this condition, and the food in Yuzhong City is piled up like a mountain.

However, the conditions in Han Sui's army were not so good, and there were even problems with food and other supplies.

According to the original plan, the army should continue to attack today to maintain the oppression of the coalition forces on Yuzhong City.

Unfortunately, under the influence of many problems, Han Sui had to give up his plan to send troops.

At this moment, a fierce quarrel broke out in the tent of the Chinese army commander.

"Han Cishi, we Qiang people are here to help you, not to die! Our Guiqiang tribe is small and has few people, so we can't bear such a loss!"

There were only 5,000 warriors in the Guiqiang clan, and 4,000 were sent to this battle, and 3,000 were killed or injured in ten days!

"It's the same for us Jianqiang! But I heard that our Jianqiang warriors did not die in battle, but all froze to death under Yuzhong City?"

"Let's fight..."

"..."

For a while, the tent was filled with denunciations against Han Sui, all accusing Han Sui of ignoring the lives of the Qiang people.

It was not the original intention of these small Qiang people to send troops. If it were not for the coercion and lure of the five major Qiang people, they would not have come out to die in winter.

Today, the attack in just ten days has caused more than 20,000 casualties. How can these small tribes accept this kind of loss?

"Patriarchs calm down! Listen to my explanation!"

Han Sui repeatedly apologized, hoping to appease these angry patriarchs, but unfortunately the effect was minimal.

"Patriarchs, please listen to me! I..."

It's a pity that all the patriarchs didn't listen to Han Sui's excuse at all, and the Guiqiang patriarch even interrupted him directly.

"Han Inspector! You don't need to say more, the attack on Yuzhong in the future has nothing to do with us, Guiqiang!"

"We Jian Qiang too!"

"We and Qiang will not participate!"

"us…"

"..."

There was a lot of noise in the handsome tent, and they were arguing with each other, but they all had the same purpose.

He no longer obeyed Han Sui's orders.

Let these Qiang people help to sit in the camp. If they attack, hehe, don't even think about it!

Even though Han Sui was a wise man, he could only shake his head and sigh bitterly in the face of this situation.

He, who claims to be extremely intelligent, now has to admit that he is helpless in this kind of chaos.

Because of the previous losses, the five Qiang tribes were unwilling to spend their troops on the siege.

Especially now that it is winter, the siege battle is bound to cause more casualties under the influence of the weather.

This situation is not only known to the patriarchs of the five major Qiang tribes, but also to the patriarchs of these small tribes who were coerced into joining the coalition forces.

Who is willing to sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain?

But the army of 250,000 troops has already arrived at the city of Yuzhong, so we can't just waste money and food and do nothing, right?

The Qiang people were unwilling to take the risk of attacking, so the task of attacking the city could only fall on Han Sui and Ma Chao.

Now the combined strength of the two has just reached 20,000, and they are each regarded as their last resort, and they are even more reluctant to die.

Finally, after repeated negotiations, it was finally decided that the coalition forces of small tribes would take the lead temporarily, and the five major Qiang tribes would send cavalry to carry out the first round of offensive missions.

Under the pressure of all parties, these small tribes could only smash their teeth and swallow in their stomachs, agreeing to let their soldiers follow Han Sui to attack the city.

There has been no attack for four days so far, and more than half of the 40,000 army has been lost!

This casualty made the already weak tribe even weaker, and even made them feel the crisis of genocide.

The scene in the commander's tent today was discussed by these small tribes long ago.

Instead of being exhausted by Han Sui, they were eventually annexed by the five major tribes and died.

I don't know how to stand up and resist, try to retain the existing strength, even if I tear my face, I won't be powerless to resist.

The patriarchs of these small tribes have prepared for the worst.

Anyway, it's a death anyway, the big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken!

Dogs can jump over walls when they are cornered, not to mention these patriarchs who hold military power.

Did Han Suigang break skin with them?

the answer is negative!

In Yuzhong City, ten miles away from the coalition camp, there is Liu Zhang, Han Sui's lifelong enemy!

Once there is civil strife in the camp of the coalition forces, Han Sui will never extravagantly hope that Liu Zhang will not take advantage of the fire to loot.

This time, being able to gather an army of 250,000 troops was already Han Sui's last trump card.

If they collapse again, Han Sui will completely lose the strength to confront Liu Zhang, and the only thing waiting for him is to be eliminated.

Since Han Sui destroyed Xiaoguan and colluded with the Xianbei people, he completely put himself on the opposite side of Liu Zhang.

Surrendering Liu Zhang like Ma Teng has long been impossible.

In other words, if Han Sui wanted to live, he had no way out except defeating Liu Zhang!
