The Han soldiers on duty atop the city wall also noticed the enemy's attack. They quickly struck the gong and then lit the smoke signal on the watchtower.

Seeing the black column of smoke rising straight into the sky, Murong Tu felt a surge of anxiety and urged his soldiers to speed up.

Before long, the army arrived at the city. After seeing the sparse banners on the city wall and the few remaining defenders, Murong Tu breathed a slight sigh of relief. He then ordered his soldiers to dismount and cut down nearby trees to build siege ladders.

On the other side, the Shefu also pretended to prepare for the siege.

However, what Murong did not know was that although there seemed to be less than two thousand defenders on the city wall, there were actually twenty thousand troops hidden inside the city.

"Waaaaah~!"

At noon, with the sound of a bugle, the Xianbei soldiers, dismounted, carried ladders and rushed toward the west gate of Daqing Military Town.

"Release the arrows!!"

When the Xianbei soldiers rushed to the vicinity of the moat, the defenders on the city wall also began to fire arrows in retaliation.

The hundreds of Xianbei soldiers at the forefront were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, then fell into the moat like dumplings being dropped into a pot, instantly turning the water red.

Fortunately, there weren't many Han soldiers defending the city. After leaving behind more than two hundred corpses, the Xianbei soldiers finally carried ladders to the city walls.

Immediately afterwards, a shower of stones fell from the city wall, the stones as big as human heads, smashing the Xianbei soldiers below, causing them to bleed from their heads and wail in agony.

Daqing, as a key town in the northern part of the Youliao defense line, stockpiled a large amount of defensive equipment from the very beginning of its construction.

Although the number of defenders on the city wall was not large, it was not easy for them to take advantage of the situation to climb the wall.

The siege lasted for nearly half an hour. After leaving behind more than 500 corpses, the Xianbei soldiers retreated like a tide.

Just as the Xianbei soldiers were retreating, the exhausted Han soldiers on the city wall also turned around and went down the wall, and another group of people went up in their place.
