Zhao Sheng had known something about wars in the cold weapon era, but he was a complete novice in actual combat.

For example, a halberd can be used to push up a ladder to a city wall. This is something I had seen in a book before. In fact, the enemy's ladders are placed on two battlements, and your halberd has no way to stop them.

For example, he didn't even think about using gold juice. Even if he had seen such records before, he would not use this smelly fighting method.

When the Hun soldiers climbed onto the top of the city wall, the soldiers with long spears behind them saw them and stabbed them directly.

The Hun, in pain, held on to the halberd tightly with his hands, and finally fell down with the halberd.

Losing your weapon on the battlefield is a terrible thing, especially when you are in a position that is open and your combat effectiveness will be relatively weakened.

Later people learned to be smart. When a Hun soldier came up, two people would stab him together. Even if the person was holding the spear shaft, the strength of two people was enough to prevent the person from falling.

Once this person is completely dead, he will slide down the ladder, taking the people below with him.

Of course, some incidents were purely accidental. Most enemies, seeing their comrades above die, would hold on to the ladder tightly and stick their heads through the gaps in the ladder to avoid falling down.

This assassination method is very physically demanding. If you are not careful, the Huns will enter the city wall. Fortunately, there were many ambushes and they were quickly driven back.

The Guangchang County soldiers who were defending the city saw the fierce fighting on the city wall, but they just watched from below to conserve their strength and the battle continued.

Zhao Long was an old soldier and knew what the oil on the city wall was used for. He immediately ordered people to scoop it out and pour it onto the ladder, and then throw it down with torches lit.

Taking advantage of the fire, many ladders were burned.

The city gate was pounded with ramming wood, and the defenders inside the city also propped it up with wood to prevent the enemy from breaking it open easily.

The Huns, who had lost their ladders, all wanted to retreat, but the ramming of wood continued, so they could only hope that the city gates would open so they could enter as soon as possible.

With an attack of 30,000 people, they were about to lose 10,000. At this time, Na Lan Guifang was very anxious.

The ladders to the city walls are still being made, the battle has not stopped, and the killing continues!

Lan Guifang looked on anxiously. The remaining 30,000 people were the troops brought by Wu Kenan. It was not convenient for him to mobilize them at this time.

"The others are ambushing Cheng Jushu's troops, so it's not easy for him to call them back. Besides, what can happen even if he calls them back?" Lan Guifang thought to himself, and suddenly he felt that calling them back might not be a bad thing.

At least he has people under his command who can compete with Wu Ke'nan, and he will never hand over the military power.

Thinking of this, he remembered Jiga Wa who had returned today, so he found him and secretly gave him a military token to mobilize troops.

Wu Ke'nan was resting in the big tent at the time. Hearing the noise outside, he called over a guard and asked, "Go and find out how the siege is going."

Upon hearing this, the guard turned around and went out to inquire.

After a while, he hurried back and said, "Captain, the attack doesn't seem to be going well. Over 10,000 people have been killed or wounded. Now all the ladders to the city are destroyed. The remaining people are organizing to ram the door and try to break it in."

"This Na Lan is just a fool. The foals in our family are smarter than him." Thinking about it, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He stood up and walked towards Na Lan Guifang's tent.

"Either you call back your troops or you hand over your military power. If you continue like this, you will only lose the tribesmen I brought with me." Wu Kenan's eyes were full of provocation, and Lan Guifang saw it clearly.

He sneered, "You are so capable. Bring your own men up there and I'll see if you can capture the city."

Wu Kenan knew that advancing at this moment would undoubtedly be tantamount to suicide, but he could not watch his people die standing before the city, so he shouted loudly: "I implore you to withdraw your troops. This pointless attack is a mistake."

Lan Guifang was not willing to admit his mistake at this time. There were also 10,000 of his clansmen here. In fact, he was also very distressed, but he had to take the city today.

There were about ten newly built ladders, and Lan Guifang was already impatient. He said to Wu Keyan, "Send another 5,000 men and use these ladders to organize the siege."

Na Lan had no one to send, so she could only ask Wu Kenan for help.

Wu Kenan would not tolerate him. If he had listened to him and attacked from multiple city gates, he might have taken the city tower by now. But the way he fought now was an endless waste of lives.

Nalan Guifang, the on-site commander, saw Wu Kenan's refusal to cooperate. He took out the military token given by the Great Chanyu, held up his sword, and shouted, "The Great Chanyu's orders have been repeated. Do you, the Wu clan, intend to disobey?"

Wu Ke'nan was a close associate of the Great Chanyu, so of course he was not afraid of threats. However, the great battle was imminent, and disobeying orders on the battlefield was a taboo in the army, so he did not dare to take the lead.

So he selected another 5,000 people and took ladders to attack the city wall of Guangchang County.

Then Jiga Wa took the military token and quietly left the military camp. According to the address agreed in advance, he went to the ambush site to find people from Yelu and other tribes.

After Cheng Jushu and Jiga Wa fought an ambush, they sent out scouts that day to spy on the enemy's movements, and eventually discovered the ambush location of those people.

Because they were far away, they remained where they were, just watching Lan Guifang plan a move.

The Zhou Dynasty scouts had actually been watching these people from afar, but when they were about to retreat, they saw someone passing by, and then the 40,000 troops ambushed there all withdrew.

"Why? They didn't copy my marching route, but retreated instead?"

Cheng Jushu was a little puzzled. These people did not act according to common sense. For a moment, he did not know what to do.

Should we go back to help Guangchang County, or go along the foot of the mountain and play the monkey stealing peach trick?

Thinking that it was getting dark, Cheng Jushu called a few generals to discuss what to do next.

In the end, Guangchang County was not taken under Lan Guifang's command. Wu Kenan laughed at this:

"They said the Nalan tribe conquered half the grassland, but it turns out they are just ruthless people fighting among themselves. Look, we have lost more than 10,000 warriors, and there are still hundreds of injured warriors. What will we use to attack the city tomorrow?"

After the people of Yelu and Pubu tribes came back, the number of people on both sides became equal. According to the Great Khan's intention in advance, the Nalan tribe had two advantages: one was that they had more people, and the other was that they had more combat experience.

So he asked Wu Ke'nan to go to Nalanguifang and listen to his command. As a result, the two had a disagreement on the first day of fighting.

That night, the two men argued fiercely over the siege, even drawing their swords. It looked like the two gangs were about to clash.

The people brought by Wu Ke'nan were also composed of multiple tribes. After what Na Lan Guifang did today, many people lost confidence in him. Yelu had always been dissatisfied with the people of the Na Lan tribe. He raised his arm and leaned towards Wu Ke'nan's camp.

Among them, the remaining people of the Huyan tribe and some people from other small tribes were also disappointed with Nalan Guifang's command and were unwilling to obey Nalan's leadership.

Men on the grassland like to follow the leadership of capable people. Although Wu Kenan had a big quarrel with Na Lan Guifang, he actually knew that it was not appropriate for him to start trouble and then be the leader.

At this time, he turned his eyes and found that the Yelu tribe was now strong in men and horses, and Yelu Changcun was his supporter. He recommended Yelu Changcun as the leader of this team.
