The Northwest Army had a strong iron horse and sent troops northward, but Wuping Prefecture was already filled with smoke.

Dingwu knew the strength of the Yi Barbarians, but he had no real contact with the Yi Barbarians on the battlefield before. In this Yi Barbarian mutiny, Dingwu truly understood the fierceness of the Yi Barbarians.

At the beginning, although he expected that the Yi barbarians would raid the Hexi military camp stationed outside the city, he thought that the Hexi Army was an elite soldier brought out by Feng Yuanpo. Although Feng Yuanpo was insidious and cunning, he finally rebelled and died, Dingwu still appreciated his ability to lead the troops. The combat effectiveness of the Hexi Army has always been strong. Even if the Yi barbarians raid, the Hexi Army might not be defeated.

What's more, over the years, the Hexi army has repeatedly conquered the grasslands in the north of the Mobei. The Yi barbarians can be said to be defeated in every battle, and eventually surrendered to Feng Yuanpo's feet. Logically speaking, the Yi barbarians should have a natural fear of the Hexi army, and the Hexi army also has an advantage in psychology. It will definitely be a fierce battle. It is unknown who will win to death.

But the result was beyond his expectations. Under the sudden attack of the Yi barbarians, the Hexi army stationed outside the city had almost no power of resistance. It quickly collapsed and fled in scattered areas. Thousands of people even fled to the city of Wuping Mansion in a hurry, trying to enter the city to hide.

Of course, Dingwu did not dare to order the door to open. Behind the defeated army, there were the fierce Yiman Iron Cavalry. Once the city gate was opened, the defeated Hexi defeated soldiers could certainly enter the city, but the Yiman Iron Cavalry could naturally rush into the city.

The seven thousand barbarian cavalry have no terrifying forces, but their destructive power is certainly amazing.

The defenders at the top of the city could only watch the Yiman Iron Cavalry coming from behind. Nearly a thousand defeated soldiers in Hexi, who had no way out, were almost wiped out under the eyes of the defenders.

The wailing sounds under the city made the soldiers guarding the city breathe in their eyes. Many people even asked to leave the city and fight to the death with the barbarians. However, Dingwu knew that at this time, he must not act voluntarily.

The Yi barbarians killed countless Hexi soldiers like slaughtering pigs and sheep. The corpses piled up like mountains under the city. Then they launched an attack on Wuping Prefecture City, hoping to take advantage of the situation to capture Wuping Prefecture City in one fell swoop.

However, facing the strong city, the Yi Barbarians rushed to the city gate and wanted to cut the city gate with a big knife, but they found nothing. However, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were excited and bows and arrows fell to serve the rocks. The Yi Barbarians suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

After that, the Yi barbarians launched several attacks in succession, but the method of siege was simple and stupid. They found nothing except for leaving hundreds of corpses each time.

After several attacks, Dingwu also saw that the Yi barbarians were unable to attack the city. If these thousands of Yi barbarians kept attacking the city, they did not have to go out to fight, and they could use up the Yi barbarians in this way, so they could also consume the Yi barbarians.

After all, the Yi Barbarians were not mentally retarded and could not attack several times, so they gave up attacking Wuping Prefecture City and took the opportunity to kill Tiangong.

The seven thousand barbarian cavalry were like a violent hungry wolf. They could not take over the Wuping Mansion City for a while, and they would naturally not give up, so they would concentrate their forces to attack the Heavenly Palace.

However, the construction of the Heavenly Palace is already in a dangerous place, and the road to the Heavenly Palace is steep and narrow. In the Heavenly Palace, there are still tens of thousands of strong men who have been retreating in time. Although there are no weapons mentioned from the arsenal, Yao Chong used all the things that can be used in the Heavenly Palace, guarding the weak parts of the Heavenly Palace. The barbarians still have nowhere to exert their strength and cannot enter the Heavenly Palace at all.

After several battles, neither Wuping Prefecture City nor Tiangong took it down. Thousands of barbarian cavalry were killed or injured. The barbarians had no choice but to withdraw and camped more than ten miles outside Wuping Prefecture City.

It was like a wolf seeing the tempting delicacy. Unfortunately, there was a layer of iron thorns on it. The barbarians could not even sip, but they were reluctant to leave.

Nearly 10,000 cavalrymen, both people and horses, needed food. After more than ten days of hard work, the Yiman Iron Cavalry got nothing, but their own food had been eaten.

Fortunately, the people on the grassland had to solve the food solution locally. Although Wuping Mansion could not attack, there were many villages and towns in Hexi. The barbarians left five thousand soldiers to guard the city, but sent thousands of cavalry to plunder the villages and obtain the needs.

Wuping Prefecture City was besieged for more than 20 days. Dingwu had already issued an order to recruit strong men from the city, and seized the time to make bows and arrows in the city, and even prepared many stones to guard the city.

Dingwu saw the methods of the thousands of Yi barbarian soldiers outside the city and naturally understood that with these thousands of people, it was impossible to break through the Wuping Prefecture City. However, he understood even more that the crisis in Wuping Prefecture was just beginning. It won’t take long for a large number of Yi barbarian cavalry to come from the north. The Yi barbarians have fast horses and scimitars and have very strong maneuverability. Perhaps the Liaodong people had not yet attacked Yanshan, and tens of thousands of Yi barbarian cavalry had already crossed the army under the city.

Dingwu did not underestimate the Yi Barbarians in his heart. The thousands of Yi Barbarians outside the city can almost be said to be without a leader. They belong to different tribes, but for the sake of common interests, they have temporarily gathered together. However, in the grassland of Mobei, there are other powerful tribes, and there are also many capable people among them. When their troops are at the city, they will sooner or later come up with a way to attack the city.

Wuping Mansion was trapped, but the worst was that there were no reinforcements to rescue him.

It is a blessing that the main force of the Qin army in Yanshan can be safe and sound. Faced with the advance of the Liaodong people, if they turn back to rescue, it is very likely that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will become defeated in a flash under the pursuit of the Liaodong army. At that time, not only will they not be able to rescue Wuping Mansion, but tens of thousands of soldiers and horses may collapse.

As for the south of Hujin Meilong, Dingwu did not think too much. With the existing troops on Meilong, facing the Qingtian King in Hebei, he was already in a disadvantage. Once Meilong dispatched troops north to rescue, unless the Qingtian King was out of reach, he would inevitably lead his army straight into Hujin without hesitation, and the situation would become even more serious.

Dingwu knew that Qin had reached the edge of the cliff and had no way out. No matter who hit Hexi, Wuping Mansion would have to take a place. Although he knew that Qin had exhausted his energy, he did not want to let Qin be ruined in his hands. Even if he had only a glimmer of hope, he did not want to give up.

After all, Wuping Prefecture City is as strong as a fortress, and there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city. In addition, the weapons in the arsenal are very abundant. Although there is not much grain in the official warehouse, the wealthy families in the city are very sufficient. When it is absolutely necessary, Dingwu naturally did not hesitate to attack the money and grain. Moreover, he had secretly ordered Ma Hong to come forward to collect money and grain from the gentry and the rich, and he was already preparing.

This is his last place to live. He has no way out and no desire to retreat.

The Yi barbarians were stationed outside the city. Although the people in the city were panic, they obeyed the orders issued by Dingwu.

Although the Yi barbarians have not dared to invade the south for many years, and were even beaten by the Hexi army for a time, the people of Hexi are very familiar with the cruelty of the Yi barbarians.

Once the Yi barbarians break the city, it will surely be a catastrophe for Wuping City, and the people in the city will definitely suffer.

Although the people of Hexi had no good feelings for Qin, under this situation, they could only choose the emperor who supported them, hoping that their emperor could lead them to resist this disaster.

Not to mention the emperor's decree to summon young and strong men, even without this decree, the young and strong men in the city will inevitably organize themselves and fight to the death with the barbarians.

There were only three thousand royal guards in the city as guards, but after the conscript order, the young and strong people in the city came in a steady stream. In more than twenty days, tens or 20,000 young and strong people had already come to the camp. Dingwu knew that although these young and strong people were passionate, they also knew that they had not undergone any military training. Once they fought, they had no combat experience and were difficult to form effective combat capabilities.

Fortunately, the Yi barbarians knew that it would be difficult to conquer Wuping City for a while, so they had stopped their unnecessary attacks on the city. Dingwu also took this opportunity to draw a small number of men from the already weak guards to train these young and strong men.

In a short period of time, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to train such a group of young and strong men with no combat experience into qualified soldiers, so Dingwu only focuses on training their methods to defend the city.

Thinking about the iron-hoofed horses in the Qin Dynasty, destroying countless countries, and being invincible, how mighty it was at that time. However, in just a few decades, the last glory of the Qin Dynasty was trampled on by only thousands of barbarian cavalry. This is not a kind of irony.

Dingwu stood at the top of the city, looking at the afterglow of the sunset, his expression was still very calm.

When he was made the crown prince, he thought that one day he would inherit the throne and build the Qin Empire into a prosperous and prosperous empire, and make the reputation of the Qin Empire spread throughout the world.

Even when Luo'an Jingcheng fell, he fled all the way to Hexi, but he still did not give up hope.

He also carefully planned and wanted to recover Luo An and revive the Qin Dynasty, but the situation in the world was obviously no longer in his control. From the moment Chu Huan broke through the pass, his carefully planned revival plan had already been declared bankrupt.

The sunset has not yet set, and the afterglow of the sunset shines on the top of the city, shining on his golden dragon robe. The dragon robe is dazzling and colorful, but the mountains and rivers of the Qin Dynasty have long been no longer shining.

"Master, you haven't had a rest for two days." Xuanyuan Shao, who had been wearing a clothes and was not untied, looked at the pale emperor and whispered: "Master, please go back to the palace to rest first. It's important to take care of the dragon body."

Dingwu finally showed a smile, looked at Xuanyuan Shao, carried his hands on his back, and asked softly with a smile: "Xuanyuan, guess who will be the one who broke the city in the end? Is it the Yi barbarian, is it the Fengping, or Chu Huan?"

"Master, no matter who it is, Wuping Mansion City must be as solid as a rock, and no one can capture it." Xuanyuan Shao said solemnly: "Whoever wants to attack Wuping Mansion will destroy himself."

Dingwu laughed, raised his hand and patted Xuanyuan Shao on the shoulder, and said, "I hope so too, but if the city is really destroyed and I die here, I don't know how future generations will view my destruction - the king of the country?" Then he smiled and shook his head, "Maybe my name will not leave a single word. If there is a name left, I only hope that future generations will know that I have tried hard!"
