With the sound of a low and high-pitched horn and a wolf howl that echoed one after another, the patrolmen at the head of the city all changed color, and the people who had lived in the border area for a long time knew very well that this was the signal that the Beiyi people were about to attack.

Many of the young soldiers who had never experienced a bloody battle turned pale and their hands trembled a little, while the veterans kept combing the tail feathers of the arrows placed in front of them to calm their minds.

In the border land, there is never a shortage of blood and battles, but seeing the overwhelming, seemingly endless, God-destroying flood of the Beiyi army approaching the city, this shock is simply indescribable.

A young soldier who was only about sixteen or seventeen years old gritted his teeth and creaked: "Captain, can we stop it?"

Zhu Yujun set his eyes on the big red robe at the head of the city, and then looked at the white-clothed sword immortal beside her, and said with a smile: "I also thought about it half a year ago, but later, we defended. ”

He stretched out two fingers: "At the beginning, General Xue Rengui Xue was defeated, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were trapped in Anxi Town and Suoyang City, while the Beiyi people dispatched an army of 400,000, but the result was not broken for two years. ”

"I don't believe that General Hua will be worse than General Xue, nor do I believe that the current three-sided court will delay until two years before sending reinforcements, and we still have Captain Li; ”

The words are firm, but in fact, the drum is also beating in the heart.

Not to mention that this is not the same as it used to be.

Let's just say that these 100,000 iron horses sound like a very simple number.

But if you think that the weakest Nanyi army can drive straight in, destroy the withered and decayed, and destroy several cities in a row, how terrible should this Golden Horde army, which recently slaughtered Khorezm, the first powerful country in the Western Regions?

A series of Beiyi words rang out below.

The Han and Khorezm men at the front, driven by the bows and arrows and scimitars of the Beiyi soldiers, wept and carried the sandbags used to fill the trenches of the city wall, and walked slowly towards the Great Wall.

Many Han Chinese began to pray loudly for the soldiers in the city to open the city gates and let them into the city, all speaking Chinese, and the conversation was more about where they lived and whether they had any past friendships with someone in the city.

Fortunately, there are few relatives of the patrolmen among these people, otherwise how many of the defenders of the entire Great Wall would have the heart to fight?

However, many young soldiers began to waver, and some noble generals who were not short of blood even shouted for war to save the refugees from fire and water.

Of course, there were also noble generals who took the opposite position, believing that the lives of these untouchables were not enough to be compassionate, and preached that they should follow the example of the Han-Hungarian War and treat all those who surrendered to the enemy.

Regarding the demands of the two, Mulan is noncommittal.

There were still people who wanted to say more, but they were so frightened by Li Bai who swept in his cold eyes that they didn't dare to speak again.

Li Bai didn't speak, withdrew his gaze, and continued to look at the military formation of the Beiyi people under the city, and sure enough, it was quite orderly, and it was no longer as messy as before.

As for those second-rate noble generals, although their martial arts are average, and their tactics and tactics are only on paper, the generals they bring are all elite, well-equipped, and good in martial arts.

On the city wall, as long as there is a determination to fight to the death, it is enough to easily defeat one against ten.

The refugees who were driven away, the Hannu gradually approached the city wall, and on both sides there were Beiyi cavalry archers on war horses patrolling back and forth, in order to supervise the battle, and shoot and kill the soldiers.

Behind them, Beiyi soldiers armed with wooden shields, spears and scimitars, dressed in leather armor or simply wrapped in sheepskins, pushed ladder carts and rushing carts, waiting for the order to attack.

Temujin knew very well that it was impossible to break through the Great Wall with cavalry alone.

Therefore, before attacking the city of Samarkand, he trained a group of light infantry with slaves from some conquered tribes and small countries in the Western Regions.

Further back, there was the Golden Horde army in a strict formation, one by one riding on tall horses, carrying a recurve bow, holding a scimitar, their commander was a surrenderer from Egypt, who was highly regarded by Genghis Khan, and was canonized as the king of the jackal.

It was he who took the initiative to present many siege engine manufacturing methods, taught the Beiyi people how to attack the city, and rose all the way to such a high position from a slave.

Nemuhu originally means slave in the Egyptian language.

He rose to such a high position without changing his name, and the original intention was also to let Temujin know that even if he sat in the position of the left and right virtuous kings, he would still be a slave of the great Genghis Khan.

At this moment, he was watching his army, constantly giving orders in the pure Beiyi language.

100,000 iron cavalry is too much, and it is impossible to fully display it in front of this city pass, unlike attacking a boxy city, which can also be surrounded on all sides, or come up with a tactic of attacking the east and west.

In addition, the soil here is loose and there are no large rivers and lakes, so it is difficult to excavate tunnels or water attacks.

Therefore, this battle can only use the next strategy, add fuel to the tactics, and take human lives to consume.

Therefore, Nemuhu did not give the order to attack at the beginning, but planned to use slaves to consume the strength and arrows of the defenders, and then bombard the city walls with bursting projectiles with siege engines in the rear.

With a two-pronged approach, the general city can be broken overnight.

At the rear of the Beiyi army formation.

After the assembly of the trebuchet began to assemble the stone bullets, the huge counterweight was hoisted high by the winch, and the stone bullets were simply placed at the other end, and the stone bullets could be fired by lowering the hammer.

This kind of trebuchet imported from the West is recorded in the classics, "once fired, the sound will shake the heavens and the earth, and all the blows will collapse, and it will sink into the ground seven feet." ”

Extremely powerful.

It's just that each trebuchet needs nearly a hundred strong men to operate, and the firing frequency is relatively slow.

The ammunition was a ten-ton stone bullet and a vine ball of branches and leaves poured with fire oil, and if it weren't for the fact that this city pass was made of rocks, instead of the rammed earth walls of the previous city pass, it would not have been able to withstand it for long, and the city would have been destroyed.

On the Great Wall, Li Bai, Hua Mulan, Kai and Su Lie's faces were all slightly gloomy.

This kind of large-scale siege by the regular army is the first time in decades that it has been carried out on the border.

In the past, the Great Wall was more like a giant stable.

For wars between cavalry are more often broken out in the frontiers, where the enemy is outnumbered and retreats, and the enemy is outnumbered and attacked.

This is also one of the reasons why the Great Wall has rammed earth walls and is not very strong and tall.

Like on the battlefield in the southeast, there are dozens of zhang high, all of them are made of rocks, rice slurry to pile up the majestic city pass; it is said that on the day when the city wall is completed, there is a martial arts master holding an iron cone wall, if the wall is full of feet, he will kill the craftsman to fill the city.

You can imagine how strong this wall must have been.

Li Bai advised: "Rena, aim at those trebuchets and cannibal technicians, and try to kill them." ”

The technician is still second, this kind of giant trebuchet is not easy to build, and if it is destroyed, it will be difficult to rebuild it in a short time, even if there are technicians.

It's just that although the organs of Shu are exquisitely skilled, they are far better than the giant trebuchets built by the big food technicians invited by the Beiyi people, but this kind of counterweight trebuchet is the essence of the three words "stupid, big and thick".

As long as it's big enough, it has a decent range.

This range was only accessible to the Great Wall Guards by small trebuchets, and the stones projected were too small to pose a threat to them. Fuel canisters are a good choice, but they are too small to be used on a knife edge.

"Good. Rena nodded silently, a string of sparks flashing between her fingers, welding a steel plate to the city wall.

By this time, Rena had assembled a mechanical turret with iron defenses at the head of the city, powered entirely by her power source, consisting of a machine gun and a large-caliber mortar.

Each shell is worth 10 points of system currency, each bullet is worth 1 point, and when the cannon goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold, and fighting such a battle is enough for Li Bai's abundant purse to dry up again.

Li Bai's Qiankun Ring was full of ammunition at this time, and it was worn on Rena's hand.

In the sky stimulated by the military spirit of the Beiyi people, there was a faint manifestation of the illusion of a blue wolf, entrenched in mid-air, a pair of cold huge pupils staring at Li Bai deadly, and did not take the initiative to manifest the military soul to attack, just stayed in place, unmoving.

As if it were a creature, it still remembered the hatred of the day.

Li Bai said softly: "The blue wolf has not come out in hiding, and he used the military strength of 100,000 troops to guard against my surprise attack, it seems that it is indeed effective to stop it that day." ”

Temujin was visibly jealous of his assault.

Although there are many people in Beiyi, they are relatively poor, and there are very few martial arts masters, and there are almost no high-level saint Dao powerhouses or even more human immortals who can match Li Bai, and in this regard, they are only slightly better than the Song Kingdom in the south.

Otherwise, if Li Bai is entangled with a martial arts master, the blue wolf's military spirit will be stimulated, the military soul will be revealed, and it will collide directly with the city wall, which will be difficult to do, and the Great Wall will be broken if it is guarded for three or five days at most.

Suddenly, a series of violent humming sounds rang out.

This kind of voice Li Bai is not unfamiliar with, he is the archer of the Beiyi people, and the fight is obviously also the idea of sniping the main general of the Great Wall.

Su Lie carried a huge steel shield and blocked in front of everyone, this guy is definitely a qualified MT, but there are many condor archers in the Beiyi people, and there are still arrows that break through his blockade and fly towards the rest.

Several people threw arrows one after another.

Li Bai frowned slightly, and was just about to make a move, when an unusually fast arrow directly pierced Rena's shoulder.

She frowned slightly, and continued to recharge the city defense battery, brewing the next metal storm, which was far from a minor injury for the former Red Lotus battleship.

In the worst battle, she was even cut off by the waist, but she was still brought back by a tugboat and completely rebuilt.

Hua Mulan looked at the steel skeleton on her shoulder with some surprise, and her expression revealed the meaning of exploration.

Li Bai explained: "Rena is from the Land of Origin and has reformed herself with mechanical techniques. ”

Hua Mulan looked at each other now, the faint hostility disappeared, and only pity and sympathy remained.

It's just that even with this emotion, she still looks heroic.

She ordered: "Su Dingfang, protect this organ master, if there is a mistake, you are the only one who asks." ”

"The last general commands!"

Rena frowned slightly.

That's what it is...... What does it feel like to be treated as a comrade-in-arms?

There are humans who treat her as a comrade-in-arms, hehe, this feeling is not bad.

Finally, the Han and Khorezm people under the city came within range of the feather arrows, and some of the soldiers turned their searching eyes to Mulan.

Li Bai hesitated.

No matter who it is, giving the order to slaughter compatriots is never a good thing, and it will definitely be attacked in the court in the future, and it will not have a good reputation in the mouth of the general public.

Of course, his fame is like a floating cloud.

But he has no military position, and giving orders in vain will only embarrass the main general, so that the three armies do not know their orders, and with his close relationship with Mulan, this relationship cannot be shaken off.

Kai said in a deep voice: "When the interruption continues, but suffer from the chaos, as the chief general of the three armies, you can not be merciful at this time." ”

Su Lie said tentatively: "Why don't you give this order?"

Hua Mulan shook her head, she was silent for a moment, and suddenly gave a high-pitched order, her voice hoarse, like a dying phoenix: "Patrol guards of the Great Wall, bend your bow and draw arrows, and cover them with arrow feathers." ”

Li Bai's heart trembled.

The soldiers suddenly seemed to have found the backbone of the main heart, and they didn't look at the city, so they bent their bows and arrows, and shot an overwhelming rain of arrows.

Suddenly, there was a loud cry and a cry.

Many are roaring in pain: "Why?"

"Are your hearts made of iron and stone? The Beiyi people did not kill us, but in the end they died at the hands of their own people. ”

"Moving forward is death, and retreating is also death, fight with them. ”

At this moment, many people were desperate to die, gritting their teeth, brandishing rudimentary wooden sticks, carrying rudimentary ladders, and rushing forward, and the defenders of the city did not use rolling wood and stones, gold juice and oil.

Those city defense organs are only to attack the Beiyi people who have not yet come to range.

This kind of hand-keeping made the Han slaves who were driven under the city feel alive.

[Seeing this scene, my heart is very heavy. 】

[It's too cruel, Mulan is so cruel to her own people, and sure enough, it will be a success. Sorry, pink turns black, goodbye. 】

[Poor. 】

[When the war comes, it will always be our ordinary people who suffer. 】

[Xiaobai, can't you save them?]

[Hehe, now I know how great Guo Jing is. 】

Li Bai glanced at the barrage, his expression was slightly cold, and he suddenly said softly: "Advancing is death, and retreating is death...... However, no one has ever thought of going back and fighting hard with the Beiyi people?"

"The liver and gallbladder have been frightened, are these people still worthy of being my Han family's sons?"

Mulan's eyes were slightly red, and she smiled bitterly: "They are just ordinary people, where can they get so much courage, it is true that I have failed them, after this battle, I am willing to write a letter to ask for guilt." ”

"Charge is complete, please give the command the command. ”

Rena said suddenly.

Li Bai bowed slightly: "According to my previous order, fire freely." ”

Suddenly, the barrel of the cannon sticking out of the steel bunker let out a roar like thunder, and the entire wall trembled, and a cannonball suddenly landed in the center of two giant trebuchets in the distance.

The next moment.

A mushroom cloud swept away with a wave of air.
