Chapter Eighty-Seven: Xianbei Siege of the City
Budugen looked at the five commanders in front of him, they were tall, strong, and full of the roughness of a humble man.
The former chieftain who was known as the Wolf of Xianbei smiled with satisfaction, narrowed his eyes like dragon's eyes, hugged his chest and pointed at the commanders and said: "Two teams follow Chief Kebi to attack Xiao Pass head-on, and the other two teams ride on your horses, take scimitars to the north and south of the city wall, climb the city wall, and attack at night to break the gate open!" ”
The four commanders slammed their chests in their allegiance to their leader, and Budugen waved them down, pointing to the last commander and saying, "Batu, you have another mission. ”
Budugen gestured to his own guards, and the guards in the tent immediately dispersed, forbidding everyone to enter.
Looking at the black tower-like man in front of him, Budugen smiled: "Batu, I remember that you are the bravest hunter on the grassland, right?" ”
Batu tapped his shirtless chest and said in a deep voice, "Chief, what can I do for you?" ”
"I need you to hunt for me, while the Great Wall is breached."
……
Three hundred Xianbei slaves attacked the city, and they were greeted by the endless rain of swords and arrows of the Han army.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they were completely slaughtered by the Han army at the head of the city.
Dou Liang frowned, he saw the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the Xianbei camp.
"Xianbei mobilized soldiers and horses again, this time it's going to be real, we must defend the Great Wall!"
Ma Yu clenched his spear, there was still residual blood in his hands, and there was a dryness, looking at the stretch of miles at the north and south ends of Xiao Pass, and said: "Dou Junhou, what if the Xianbei people climb up from the city walls on both sides?" ”
Dou Liang smiled: "Ma Junhou, look outside." Stretching out his hand and pointing to the Great Wall, Dou Liang said with a smile: "Xiao Pass was originally a gap in the Great Wall of Qin, and then Xiao Pass was raised to strengthen the defense of the Great Wall in order to defend the gap, Xiao Pass, only outside Xiao Pass has enough space for them to set up camp, you look at what is under the city wall on both sides, it is the foundation of the city built on the top of a high mountain." ”
Touching the Great Wall, Dou Liang said with a smile: "They will indeed climb over three mountains, walk a few miles of mountain roads to the Great Wall where there are no defenders, and climb the five-zhang high city wall, but at that time they are so weak that they are unable to fight anymore, and the defenders slaughter them like pigs and sheep." ”
"Don't look at Xianbei as a horse army, our Liangzhou people are not far behind, they only rely on horses and strong bows to be fierce in the grassland, get off the horse, the three Xianbei slaves are not the opponent of a northern border army!"
Even so, Ma Play was still a little worried, and Ma Play said: "But what if the Xianbei people don't fight with the defenders of the city, and directly mix under the city and attack the city gate?" ”
Dou Liang pointed to his head and said with a smile: "Rush up and kill us, you can naturally open the door." If we don't die, the jack gate is on the city tower, how can they rush?
If you want Xiao Pass not to be broken, I'll wait...... Only to die and war! ”
At this moment, Cao Hu ran over and shouted, "Xianbei...... Xianbei people rushed up, and there were a lot of them. ”
"Shoot the arrows!"
This attack was different from the last time, it was already dark, and the defenders could not see the number of enemy troops under the city, nor did they know their position, so they could only shoot by shouting, while the enemy under the city could clearly know the location of the defenders.
Night is the best time to siege the city.
Led by two commanders, two thousand Xianbei soldiers ran towards the city wall, ignoring the rain of arrows pouring down from the city.
The average of these two thousand people is a simple leather armor for three people, and even a hundred people have excellent leather armor on their bodies, and the arrows can only cause limited damage to them, they are the elite of the Budugen tribe.
Bows and arrows are a necessary factor for victory in this era, but leather armor also came into being, and the presence of these defensive equipment means that only a more powerful bow can shoot through them, but even so, the dominance of bows and arrows on the battlefield is still unshakable.
Because the armor rate in this era is too low.
When the Xianbei people rushed to the city tower, a real battle between blood and iron really began.
These Xianbei slaves dressed in animal skins and holding arc knives in their mouths howled and climbed up the city tower, holding the female wall in their hands before standing on the city tower, and the bronze arc knives in their hands flashed with cold light and slashed towards the nearest Han army. There is no need for incentives at all, the Xianbei slaves all know that by capturing Xiao Pass and killing the enemy, they can change their status as slaves, otherwise they will either be killed by the defenders or killed by their own masters.
It would be more painful to be killed by their masters, and they would rather be killed by the Han army at the head of the city than they would be.
Ever since they were assigned to attack the level, they had put life and death on the line.
They are the ones who dare to die.
Dou Liang drew out the ring knife, swung an iron shield with his left hand and slapped it on the enemy's face, and the huge force directly slapped down the unlucky ghost who struggled to climb the city tower, leaving a wail.
"Lingzhou Dou Liang is here, Xianbei Yi dog is here!"
As soon as the cold light flashed, a knife slashed out, and a puddle of blood burst out of the city, and a corpse rolled down the ladder.
The Xianbei people continued to climb up the city from the ladders, and now there are not only three ladders on the city, but a full twenty.
Xiaoguan is not big, and there are only 3,000 people who can climb the city, and at this time... The two thousand Xianbei people all stood under the city, waiting to climb up the tower from the ladder.
The horse played with the iron spear in his hand like a dragon, pierced into the Xianbei slave who climbed the ladder, and roared angrily, "The dog is dead!" He slammed his arms upwards, then twisted his waist and slammed his spear into the ladder with the enemy's body.
The warrior is nameless, in this era with meritorious service among the military candidates are not a good person, another song military Hou Cao Hu is no exception, Cao Hu people as his name, tall and mighty is a Qiang man, seeing Xianbei launched an attack, he ran to the city tower, guarding the gate of the jack gate, the men who guard the border pass in the north all the year round know that all the efforts made by the Xianbei people, even if they all attack it, as long as they can hold the gate, the Xianbei people outside will not be able to enter.
With the strength of his arms, the spear in his hand was smashed out as a club, and the Xianbei slave was smashed and flew to the female wall, and the blood spurting from his mouth was already more in and less breathing.
The soldiers under their command were also inspired by the courage of the soldiers, and they erupted into a roar in unison, and their gradually tired bodies seemed to be full of strength again, and the swords, shields, and spears slashed at the body of the Xianbei slave without stopping.
However, despite the courage of the Han army, it can be concluded that there are too many slaves of the Xianbei people, or their number is too small, among the nine hundred Han army, there are only forty percent of the veterans, and the rest are new recruits who face the Xianbei people for the first time, and they cannot calm down in the face of the Xianbei people, so they can only continue to retreat towards the city where the army is located.
On the city tower, most of them are Xianbei slaves.
