"Is there some army left in Dechuan City?" Desima asked.∮

"And the chief general of this army is very powerful, not an easy person. He knows how to take measures to prevent our spies, and can also mobilize local people to build city walls and moats to resist us. It is not easy." Harry Podo said.

"Haha, he also valued his strength too high. Just because some of the defeated generals and some ordinary people want to compete with our army, it would be too underestimated. Don't think about it so much now, hurry up and rest, send more scouts to spy on the situation. When the cavalry arrives tomorrow, they will be their end." Harry Qisheng said confidently.

Desima and Harry Podo also agreed with Harry Qisheng's opinion, and they both believed that under this situation, no one could stop his own conquest.

Just as the Huns outside the city were ready to launch an attack, Qin Mu was also hurrying to make final preparations. Zhu Yongqing had completed the reorganization of the recruits and completed the most basic training, so he could go to the simplest defense work on the city wall. All the seven thousand new recruits were assigned to temporarily organize into five temporary brigades, and the veterans led the recruits temporarily to the battlefield, and took turns to the west city to familiarize themselves with the terrain.

Liu Xiaoshan also led the First Brigade and the people in the city to send various combat-use materials such as rolling wood, rocks, arrows, oil and other materials to the top of the city. Qin Mu also ordered the thousand escorted crossbows to be placed on the west city wall. This is also a powerful weapon, but since this weapon takes a certain amount of time to reinstall crossbows every time it is fired, the power is limited.

At the same time, Qin Mu also ordered the troops to demolish the houses of residents along the city walls and promised to provide compensation after the war to prevent them from being shot by enemy rockets during the war, causing fire and causing chaos.

The people in Tokugawa Castle also knew that the critical time was coming, so they consciously organized themselves, working overtime to make dry food, stretchers and other necessary supplies. At the same time, many people actively signed up to serve as stretchers. The entire Tokugawa Castle was like a machine full of clockwork, and everything revolved around the upcoming war.

At night, Qin Mu and Liang Qiming talked about tomorrow's war in the study of the city guard's mansion. When Liang Qiming asked about Shangguan Yonglun's whereabouts, Qin Mu just smiled and refused to answer. Since Shangguan Yonglun returned to Tokugawa Prefecture the night before yesterday, no one has seen him again, and no one knows when he went, and his more than 3,000 cavalry brigades disappeared with him.

Early the next morning, Qin Mu ordered Zhu Yongqing to do logistics arrangements in the rear. He and Liang Qiming led the second, fourth brigade and five soldiers from the Kaiwei Brigade to the west wall. Li Hua led the third brigade and two other reorganized Tokugawa troops to stay in the city and stand by.

Until noon, the enemy did not make much noise, and Qin Mu also felt a little strange. In fact, the infantry of the Huns had not arrived due to speed, and Harry Qisheng and others did not plan to fight the siege this day. They were also preparing to rest for a day before launching an attack.

On May 10, 13th, the day passed peacefully, and both sides seemed very calm. But Qin Mu knew that this was just the tranquility before the storm came, and he believed that the enemy would not drag on like this, as it would not be beneficial to them.

The sun finally rose on May 11, 1913, and the enemy troops outside the city finally had movement. Qin Mu stood on the city tower and stared at the enemy camp in the distance. What was coming was finally coming.

With the sound of low horns, soldiers in the enemy camp continued to appear on the horizon, and more and more, the infantry arranged in neat square formations, and with solid steps, they rushed towards Tokugawa Prefecture one after another. On both sides of the infantry were cavalry formations, tall and burly soldiers were wrapped in iron armor, fat and strong war horses roared and galloped, and the sound of horse hooves of millions of war horses was so neat and orderly, like the sound of a giant stepping on the ground. The earth trembled.

The riding skills of the Huns are indeed well-known. As you can see from the skillful horse control technique, you are worthy of being the best among the nomadic peoples. Qin Mu couldn't help but secretly admire him.

Harry Qisheng also intended to set up a powerful formation, trying to destroy the enemy from his momentum. The soldiers on the city wall were a little shocked, and Qin Mu and Liang Qiming also noticed the enemy's intentions. They both patrolled along the city wall quietly, and joked with familiar soldiers and officers from time to time. When the soldiers saw their head coach's calm expression, they quickly calmed down and focused on preparing for battle.

They stopped a mile from the west of Tokugawa Castle, and then saw the next cavalry general. Under the escort of dozens of cavalrymen, they rode their horses toward this side. He came to a distance of about two hundred steps from the top of the city and stopped far away. It was difficult to shoot at this distance. Even if it could be shot, the strength was very weak, and he could not hurt his armor at all.

He shouted to the city in Chinese: "Listen to the Lord of the City, I am the deputy general of the cavalry of the West of the Hungarian Kingdom. I will tell you to the order of the Lord of the Hungarians to be the victory. If you surrender now, our Lord of the Hungarians will spare you your life. You should know. If you dare to resist stubbornly, I am the Hunarians to attack the city, and it will be too late to regret it."

The generals on the city looked at Qin Mu, and Qin Mu laughed: "I am the governor of Tokugawa County and a fourth-rank official of the Great Qin Empire. How can I surrender? Go back and tell you that Harry Qisheng, if you have the ability, you can conquer Tokugawa City? Don't brag here. Our Tokugawa City is better to be broken than to be a complete one!"

"Grape wine, luminous cup, and you want to drink the pipa immediately. Don't laugh at me when you lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from war since ancient times?" As he said that, Qin Mu couldn't help but chant this familiar poem.

Qin Mu's voice spread from afar, and the whole city could hear clearly. When Qin Mu's voice heard, the soldiers of the Qin Empire in the city couldn't help but stand up straight, and everyone showed a proud look on their faces. The main generals had such courage. Even if they were to die with him, why should they cherish this body?

"Don't laugh at me when you are drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from wars in ancient times?"

Many soldiers and officers couldn't help but silently recite the poem Qin Mu in their hearts. This poem is really too close to the hearts of these soldiers.

It is worth it to be able to die on the battlefield with such a heroic county magistrate.

"Don't laugh at me when you are drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from wars in ancient times?"

Harry Potter couldn't help but read it once, and was shocked by the artistic conception in the poem. This poem is so good, it simply expresses a lot of the voices of soldiers.

As a soldier and a soldier who fought in the north and south, Harry was really touched. Yes, how many people have returned from the battles in ancient times.

"If you are willing to surrender, I can recommend you to our king to be an official in the Hunter Kingdom." Harry Podo rarely felt the desire to cherish talent.

"The way is different, we don't plan for each other." Qin Mu shouted.

"What a pity."

Harry Podo did not say much, and turned the horse back with the guards. After hearing the news, Harry Qisheng was surprised and very angry, and immediately launched an order to attack.

As the shrill sounded, the Beixiu infantry held high a leather shield and carried sandbags on their backs and launched the first wave of attacks. The cavalry also lay down on their horses and rushed to the moat with sandbags on their backs and threw sandbags into the river. Other soldiers also raised their shields and led their bows to attack the city walls. To attack the city wall, the first thing they had to do was solve the moat. This is a problem that everyone knows. The problem is that how much it would take to fill this moat is not something that ordinary people could predict.

The wave after wave of offensive was like a tide. The officers on the city wall ran back and forth, waving their weapons, and kept drinking their soldiers. Waves of arrows fell down one after another, constantly splashing blood under the city. The giant stones were even more terrible. The millstone-sized stones were thrown high and fell into the enemy camp accurately, causing huge damage. The soldiers were often smashed by people and horses, broken bones, and their brains were overflowing and bloody, which was a terrible sight. Screams, moans, and cries came one after another.

The day passed quickly. When the sun was gradually setting in the west, the call of the Beixun troops to withdraw the troops was finally sounded. The soldiers on both sides breathed a sigh of relief. The Beixun soldiers quickly evacuated from the dangerous area like the tide of the sea, gathered outside the dangerous area, counted the number of people, and then maintained a good defensive formation and slowly retreated.

Qin Mu, who had been closely following the development of the battle situation, breathed a sigh of relief. The combat effectiveness of the Huns should not be underestimated. Iron-like discipline and fearless spirit are indeed not something that ordinary teams can possess, and no wonder they can win repeatedly.

There was no big suspense on the first day of the battle. Without solving the moat problem, the advantage of defending the city was very obvious. After counting the battlefield, Liang Qiming reported the situation to Qin Mu. His side had killed 560 people and injured 1,321 people, of which 363 were seriously injured. The enemy was estimated to have died more than 5,000 people, and countless injuries were injured.

After hearing the report, Qin Mu nodded and signaled Liang Qiming to sit down, "Old Liang, the war will probably become more and more difficult and cruel. Today's results were caused when the enemy could not fight back. If you go down, you should warn all soldiers not to be paralyzed. You should strengthen your defense at night to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of loopholes. The enemy's combat effectiveness is well-deserved, and our troops' training after the war must be strengthened."
