Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great War Begins
Early the next morning, the two brothers Li Jin gathered the army, and Li Jin shouted to the army assembled in front: "Soldiers, now that the Xiongnu are out of food and the combat strength is insufficient, today is a good time for us to attack the Xiongnu city thirty miles in the northwest, and we must take the city in one fell swoop!" ā
"Take the city, take the city......" the army shouted at the same time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Okay, let's go!" Li Jin waved his arms and shouted.
However, at this time, Zhang Xiao had already led the chengguan brigade to lurk at the foot of the city wall, and when Zhang Xiao and the others came to the foot of the city wall, the city gate was closed, and the sentry on the city wall was not even seen.
Two hours later, Zhang Xiao and the others saw a large black shadow approaching in the distance, and murmured softly: "They are here, get ready!" ā
Hearing this, the chengguan brigade nodded and concentrated. Li Jin led the army to the outside of the city, the sound of horses' hooves alarmed the Hun soldiers lying on the city wall, and one of them got up and looked outside the city, and when he saw the pitch black, he suddenly woke up and exclaimed: "Qin...... The Qin soldiers are coming......! ā
It didn't take long for the news of the Qin soldiers' attack to spread all over the Xiongnu city, in a hall, the Hun leader sat in the first place, as the leader, he barely supported himself without eating for a few days, the Hun leader looked at several powerful generals in front of him and said: "The Qin soldiers took advantage of our food shortage to attack, we have no way to retreat, even if we abandon the city, we will only starve to death, in this case, it is better to fight with the Qin soldiers to the death." ā
After listening to the leader's words, the generals in the hall left the hall and returned to their posts, as the leader said, they had no way to retreat, and the only chance was to fight Qin Bing to the death.
At this time, a large number of archers appeared on the city wall, drawing their bows and arrows at the Qin army outside the city, and one of the generals on the city wall shouted: "Release the arrow!" ā
Countless arrows were shot towards Li Jin's army, but Li Jin's army was a little far away from the city wall, and the arrows shot out couldn't fly that far, and occasionally some arrows flew to it, but they were also blocked by the small soldiers holding shields at the front, and after a rain of arrows, no one in Li Jin's army was injured.
At this time, a voice appeared on one of the walls: "There are people under the walls!" ā
Hearing this, the general on the city wall stuck out his head to take a look, and immediately shouted: "Shoot arrows under the city wall!" ā
Zhang Xiao and the others noticed the movement on the city wall, hurriedly raised the shield they brought, and hid themselves under the shield, and all the arrows of the Huns were stopped by the shield.
After the Huns finished releasing the arrows, Zhang Xiao made an OK gesture to the surrounding chengguan brigades, and everyone took out fireworks bombs and lit them at the same time, and then Zhang Xiao shouted: "Throw!" ā
The nine men threw the lit fireworks bombs onto the city wall at the same time, only to hear an explosion, sparks and smoke flying. Then there were continuous screams, and even many people fell from the city wall and fell in front of Zhang Xiao and others, their lives and deaths unknown.
Li Jin, who was in the distance, saw the situation on the city wall, pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted: "The generals listen to the order and attack!" ā
As Li Jin's voice fell, the army behind him followed the two Li Jin brothers and rushed towards the city.
Zhang Xiao saw that Li Jin and Li Gang were already coming towards this side, and beckoned to the people of the Chengguan Brigade, and everyone quickly gathered beside Zhang Xiao when they saw this, Zhang Xiao said: "Let's go, go and break the city gate!" ā
Zhang Xiao came to the city gate with the city management brigade, the city gate was closed at this time, according to Zhang Xiao's experience of watching TV series, there must be many people behind the city gate now, preventing the enemy from breaking through the city gate.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiao said behind him: "Cow head, pheasant, go!" ā
When the bull head and the pheasant heard this, they hurried to the door, and the bull head took out a hammer and a thick nail, and after a rough confirmation, he nailed the nail to the door, and the pheasant hung the big wine jar on his back, which was the size of two or three basketballs.
The position of the bull head nail is the position of the bolt of the city gate, and the position of the bolt was remembered when rescuing Li Gang and other soldiers from the city gate.
The pheasant hung up the extra-large fireworks, and everyone quickly retreated outside the city gate, and the pheasant lit the fire and hurriedly ran out, and everyone quickly covered their ears. Last night, when making this firework bomb, Zhang Xiao asked the pheasant to clear out all the small particles in the original mixed gunpowder in order to pursue explosive power, and this extra-large firework bomb was pure gunpowder, and Zhang Xiao was also looking forward to his power.
More than ten seconds later, a huge explosion sounded out, and Li Jin's army, both inside and outside the city, felt the ground shake significantly.
As the explosion sounded, a huge cloud of smoke and dust erupted from both ends of the city gate, accompanied by a large amount of wood chips.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Zhang Xiao pulled his ears that were still a little loud, and led the chengguan team to approach the passage of the city gate. I saw that the city gate that was originally four or five meters high had long been gone, only some cracked wooden planks remained, and a little further forward, everyone saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground, and even some became mutilated, and some ears were oozing blood, obviously because the distance was too close, and the eardrums were broken.
Zhang Xiao looked at the dead corpses on the ground and the large amount of blood that kept flowing out, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart, and he was extremely uncomfortable. After all, he is still a person from the peaceful world of the 21st century, how can he stand the scene of real bloodshed.
At this time, Li Jin's army had already arrived at the gate of the city, and was pouring into the city along the open passage, and began to fight with the Huns guarding the city gate.
Zhang Xiao stood on the side of the passage, looking at the scene in front of him, his body became a little shaky. Qinglong on the side hurriedly held on and asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you?" ā
"I'm fine, but I'm a little unwell, you don't have to worry about me, go help General Li Jin, I'll just quit and rest for a while!" Zhang Xiao replied.
After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, he spread the wall and walked out of the passage, he was too lazy to mix in the battle situation inside the city wall, and he didn't want to mix, although there may be a lot of casualties, but the city gate has been broken, Li Jin's victory is a sure thing, there is no physical strength, and the soldiers who have greatly reduced their combat power are more than a little worse than the soldiers whose morale is booming. In the final analysis, Zhang Xiao didn't want to see the scene of a river of blood, as an ordinary person from the 21st century, how could he stand the scene of a river of blood.
Zhang Xiao walked outside the city wall, sat down against the city wall, looked at the Qin soldiers who kept rushing into the city, and listened to the constant sound of killing in the city, the panic in Zhang Xiao's heart became stronger and stronger, making his heartbeat continue to speed up.
The sound of fighting in the city continued until the afternoon before gradually stopping, near dusk, Qinglong came out of the city with the chengguan brigade to find Zhang Xiao by the city wall, Qinglong said: "Sir, the Huns in the city have all been exterminated!" ā
When Zhang Xiaoyan heard this, he opened his slightly closed eyes and looked at the chengguan brigade on the side, and found that they were covered in blood, and most of them were slightly injured. As for whether all the Xiongnu in the city were killed or surrendered to him and wanted to know, Zhang Xiao said: "I want to go back, you and General Li Jin are staying in the city, when the enemy's support arrives, General Meng should also arrive, and when the Xiongnu are repulsed, you will return to Xianyang with General Meng, I will go first!" ā
After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and traveled back to modern times, leaving the urban management brigade of the boss with staring eyes. Zhang Xiao felt that he needed to be quiet now and rest for a few days.
