Chapter 1220: Chasing Dreams Always Pays

The south of Linjin City is next to Luoshui, well, that's right, the same name as the one in the south of Luoyang City. Luoshui flows from the northwest around Linjin City to the southeast, so Linjin City has only one city gate on the west side, three on the north side, two on the east side, a water gate on the south side, and a small grain gate next to the water gate that is specially used to supply dumped excrement.

The city wall is made of blue bricks for the face, rammed earth for the inner structure, these and other cities in the Han Dynasty are similar, but because of the relationship between Luoshui, so the city of Linjin is not a boxy square, but the area is a bit like a right-angled trapezoidal appearance.

Therefore, normally speaking, for Huchuquan, which has no ships, the place where the attacking troops can be put down, that is, the north and east, although the west can also attack, but the expansion area is not wide, and there are some restrictions, as for the south, it is mostly tidal flats, if it is in the spring and summer flood season, Luoshui will even rise to the south of Linjin 34 steps, and bring a lot of river mud, although these river mud is an excellent fattening thing for the surrounding fields, but for the battle array, it is indeed a troublesome problem, Especially since the war horse can't run at all in such a soft and collapsed place.

The sky had gradually darkened, and only the burned siege equipment under Linjin City was still emitting its last light, shining on the corpses in one place. At the beginning of the shift, three bonfires were lit outside the west gate like pinzi, and under the light of the fire, there seemed to be some figures shaking.

The Southern Xiongnu also participated in the attack on Linjin City under the city today, and compared to the people who were driven to capture in Sucheng before, these two days really played some fire, more than 1,000 Hun soldiers were transferred from cavalry to foot soldiers, and the rest of the people were left with few arrows, desperately tilted towards the city, many soldiers were pulled by the bowstring to the flesh and blood!

Chasing dreams always has to pay something, and this Hu Chuquan also knows, but even if he pays a lot, Hu Chuquan still sees Linjin City standing still, and even the figure above the city head is like a rock, standing on the city wall. Arrows flew like rain, but the general who commanded the battle above the city, and even the guards around him were shot down a few people, but he ran back and forth as if he was nothing, and the command was determined.

In fact, at this time, whether it was the defenders of Zhengxi in the city or the Southern Xiongnu outside the city, they all knew the same thing, that is, the two sides no longer had any room for maneuver. Because there is no use of the method of long siege, or the use of long-distance siege equipment, the city wall is smashed and opened with firepower, but the most lethal siege method of the ant-attached soldiers, which reflects how eager the Southern Xiongnu are to capture the outside of Linjin City, which also means that once the city is broken, then the city must usher in bottomless plunder and slaughter.

The day the city is broken, there is no doubt that it is the beginning of the slaughter of the city, even if it surrenders now, it will not be much softer, after all, the little patience that Hu Chuquan originally had has been completely worn out.

Even in the past two days, Hu Chuquan even had a vague sense of foreboding, and it was precisely because of this that he urged his sons and daughters to join the people of Sucheng who were mixed in Xiebao, regardless of life and death, and among the Han miscellaneous soldiers recruited by Zheng Gan, to attack the city together. Even if the lives of the children of the Southern Huns were precious, Hu Chuquan drove them wave after wave without mercy during these two days.

It's a pity that even if it is consumed to such a point, under Linjin City, today's last offensive is still a failure. Although at the end of the day, he finally succeeded in ascending the city, and once mastered a section of the city wall, but with the counterattack of the soldiers of the expedition to the west, he still had to be defeated, at that time, Hu Chuquan was so angry that he almost trembled all over his body, and even had the urge to behead all the retreating head generals before the battle.

When he was calling Chuquan angry, he didn't expect Zheng Gan to bring such good news.

Standing behind the fire, Hu Chuquan stared at the west gate of Linjin City, unable to take his eyes off it. The banner of the Right Xian King hunted in the night sky, and under it were more than ten Hun leaders and generals, who did not dare to speak loudly, but just gathered together and whispered to each other.

"Damn, this defender of the city is really tough! After two days, more than 100 sons and daughters have been lost in our clan...... If you capture Linjin tonight, you will definitely catch the Han general who defends the city and skin him alive! ”

"That's right! Counting me, my men also suffered a lot of casualties, and more or less their skulls had to be cut off as a sacrifice to comfort the dead son! ”

"I'm concerned that after the city is broken, how many days will King Youxian allow us to search? Three days is too short, but seven days is about ......."

"Seven days? Don't think too much, three or five days is considered good, and Guanzhong is not the only Linjin City! And there is also a Tongguan, if you don't do it, it's still a tough battle! ”

"You say these Han people, what are you doing all day building cities all day long? It's so inconvenient, if you want me to say, whether it's Linjin or Sucheng, take one and push the other, and all of them will knock down the city wall! One of the Han people is counted as one, all the men are killed, and all the women are robbed! Such a good land, if you don't use it for grazing, what kind of crops to plant, it's really a waste! ”

"You know the! Planting Zhuanghe also has the benefits of Zhuanghe, and gnawing bones every day is also greasy! And the silk of the Han people you wear, if you don't have these Han people, where would you have them? You can't kill them all, you have to keep some of them. ”

Several leaders and generals were chattering, all imagining what would happen after the destruction of Linjin City.

The discussion was louder, but Hu Chuquan didn't hear it. One is different from the strict military discipline of the Han people, the Southern Huns have never had so many detailed regulations, and the other is that Hu Chuquan also knows that he has been somewhat depressed in the past two days, and it is not an exaggeration to let these guys vent their emotions.

What's more, all of Hu Chuquan's thoughts are now on Linjin City!

In the night, on the dark west gate of Linjin City in the distance, three torches were suddenly lit up, and they also posed in the shape of a character, shaking slightly, and seemed to reflect each other with the three bonfires outside the city.

"Right Virtuous King! You see! The guard who saw it hurriedly pointed with his hand, and couldn't hide his excitement in his tone, "Signal! There is a response in Linjin City! ”

Hu Chuquan clenched his fists tightly, and his heart couldn't help but become hot, this damn Linjin City can be won after all! Lao Tzu wants to cut off the head of the general who defends the city with his own hands!

"Someone! Pass the order! Hu Chuquan said in a deep voice, "Let the sons and daughters quietly move to the East City Gate!" Pay attention, if you alarm the guards of the city, you will not be spared! ”

On the top of the city head of Linjin, Xu Shu stood behind the battlements of the city wall, looking at the bonfire outside the west city gate, the small figures were shaking, and beside him, stood Tai Shici.

The land of Sanfu, Linjin is in the center of Zuo Fengyi, the north of Diaoyin, the east of Tongguan, and the north of Tongguan Pujindu, are important strategic points, if Linjin is lost, not only Zuo Fengyi fell, the door of the land of Sanfu in Guanzhong is completely open.

So Xu Shu is here, and he can't take a step back.

"I don't know what happened to Tongguan?" Xu Shu muttered softly, "Hongnong Yang's family sees the current situation, and they will inevitably come to take advantage of the fire to rob!" ”

Tai Shi Ci was silent and didn't say anything.

"Let's go, go to the East Gate!" Xu Shu said, "If it goes well tonight, you can relieve the siege of Linjin!" ”

With clues, and the unlucky ghost who was caught, under Miki, Zheng Gan, who had not trained any sense of secrecy at all, had all the tricks of 1510, plus Tai Shici in the city, dozens of people who were ambushed on the east side of Anpingfang were naturally wiped out.

For a long time, the city was heavily guarded, and most of the houses near the city wall were demolished, and any idle people within thirty steps of the city wall would be shot on the spot, so these people did not find any opportunity to put the news out, so Xu Shu also pushed the boat down the river and released false news.

Three watches.

The east gate of Linjin City.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout of fighting, breaking the silence of the night, and immediately a lot of torches were lit up and down the city, illuminating the figures of the people, and some people kept shaking the torches in their hands outside the city, as if to signal something.

With a "boom", the suspension bridge at the east gate fell down, and it seemed that even the earth trembled twice, and then there was a faint fire shaking in the city gate hole......

"It's done!" Zheng Gan was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "Success or failure is at this moment!" ”

"Ignition! Enter! Hu Chuquan also immediately ordered.

The hundreds of torches that had been prepared for a long time were lit one after another, and the sound of hunting sounded around Huchuquan, illuminating everything around them, and also reflecting the swords and guns of the surrounding Hun soldiers, which were also as bright red as blood.

With the order of Hu Chuquan, the soldiers of the Southern Huns immediately took action, several horn men mustered their strength, sounded the horn of the march, and the sound of a huge shout broke out in the military array, and the horse's hooves flew like a tsunami to the east gate of Jincheng!

Because the inlet used to lead Luoshui has long been blocked by Huchuquan and others, so the city of Linjin is actually a half-dry trench, plus the drawbridge has fallen, the city gate is open, no matter from that point of view, Linjin City seems to be in a catastrophe.

After all, although the suspension bridge can accommodate four war horses walking side by side, but when the Southern Hun soldiers attacked, there was no queue between the chaos, and it was naturally blocked at the mouth of the suspension bridge, and even some unlucky ghosts either couldn't pull the reins, or were hit by others, and fell directly into the half-dry trench, and were pierced by the sharp wooden stakes at the bottom of the trench, and died in the screams.

However, seeing the imminent victory, the Southern Huns had no other care at all, and only the open city gate was left in their eyes!

More than a dozen Hun soldiers who rushed across the suspension bridge laughed, roared, brandished their war knives and rushed into the city cave, and then the sound of fighting and swords and guns slashing on the flesh and blood immediately sounded the sound of the Hun soldiers who followed up, and the follow-up Southern Hun soldiers were like flies chasing flesh and blood, and they were surrounded by the suspension bridge, eager to become the next hero to enter the city, and some people were anxious to wave their knives and guns at the air, as if they could make themselves faster and make some efforts in advance.

"Rush in! Kill it! Hu Chuquan also brandished his sword behind him, shouting loudly, "Quick! Kill it! Linjin City is ours! ”

The capture of Linjin is the dream of all the Huns, including Huchuquan, and now it is about to come true!

The soldiers of the Southern Huns were like the crowd at the entrance of the railway station during the Spring Festival in later generations, waving the knives and guns in their hands, as if waving the ticket home, each elated, smiling, crossing the suspension bridge as if passing the ticket gate, laughing and slapping the war horse, regardless of the straight into the city.

The sound of fighting in the city became louder and louder, but Hu Chuquan did not take this sound to heart, because according to the usual experience, there must be some resistance after rushing into the city, but as more and more soldiers on his side entered the city, the resistance in the city will disappear quickly like ice and snow under the scorching sun!

In the main road connecting the east gate, Tai Shi Ci sat on horseback, a halberd waved, the crescent moon on the halberd shone with a cold light, directly cut off the head of a Hun soldier who rushed forward, blood gushing and took away the arm of another Hun soldier, and then turned his wrist and crossed the waist of another Hun cavalry, and in a blink of an eye, he killed or injured three Hun soldiers who rushed to the front, cut people off the horse, but let the Hun war horse neigh on both sides of the formation.

The east gate of Linjin City, on both sides of the street are blocked to reject the horse, not the wooden frame to reject the horse, but the temporary use of the dismantled masonry and house beams and eaves pillars and other components out of the messy large rejection of the horse, resulting in the Hun soldiers have only two choices, one is to get off the horse to climb these uneven, chaotic rejection of the horse, or along the street forward, a headlong collision with Tai Shi Ci's front.

Of course, at this time, the Southern Hun soldiers didn't know how powerful Tai Shi Ci was, and they were subconsciously unwilling to give up the convenience of the war horse, so most of them were roaring and rushing towards Tai Shi Ci.

On the rooftops on both sides of the street, dozens of Zhengxi archers stood and shot arrows into the middle of the street, and from time to time the Hun soldiers fell off their horses. Of course, under the return fire of the Hun cavalry, several archers from Zhengxi were also shot and fell from the roof with a scream.

As more and more Hun soldiers poured into the city, the number of Hun soldiers rushing towards Tai Shi Ci gradually increased, from the initial one or two to three or four, and then soon became five or six, and even more than ten people joined forces to rush towards Tai Shi Ci!

But these soldiers couldn't put any pressure on Tai Shi Ci at all, and some miscellaneous soldiers couldn't shake the front maintained by Tai Shi Ci at all, and soon became a corpse in front of Tai Shi Ci.

With the passage of time, the corpses of the Hun soldiers who died under Tai Shici's halberd lay down on the street, making the rest of the soldiers more and more unable to run, plus the Hun war horses that lost the control of their masters, because they were afraid of the cold and shining blades on the three rows of horses standing on the street, and they also neighed left and right from time to time, causing the whole street to slowly be blocked with Hun soldiers......
