Chapter 205: Using the Mass Killing Weapon

After the meeting of the kings, King Zuo Guli found King Zuo Xian and said, "Today it is obvious that the right general does not contribute to the king, why doesn't Uncle Wang punish him?" ”

King Zuo Xian said, "It's difficult. The right virtuous king deliberately did not contribute on the first day, grabbed the credit on the second day, and then established his prestige. ”

"What a mistake I made, you and I have suffered more than 4,000 casualties, especially thousands of armored warriors. I thought that even if I couldn't take it today, I would at least be able to beat the other party and take the initiative to beg for mercy. Results ......"

King Zuogu Li continued, "The result will be to let the Right Xian King and them succeed, it's really hateful." ”

King Zuo Xian shook his head and said, "King Zuo Xian, they can't do it either, unless they fight their family foundations, it will be difficult to shake this city." ”

King Zuogu said: "Uncle Wang, don't worry. If they can't fight tomorrow, then I and the other kings will go up tomorrow, so that they won't let the right king succeed. ”

King Zuo Xian sighed and said, "No matter what, it is my Hun sons who are killed and injured." Sometimes you just care too much about the right sage king and them, resulting in being too aggressive, and this time you suffered a big loss. ”

King Zuogu Li's face was displeased, but he had no choice but to reply, "Xiao Wang knows, and he must be careful in the future." ”

In fact, he complained in his heart, "It's because you don't take more precautions against them that they will have the upper hand." If tomorrow they are defeated, the meeting of kings will be dominated by the right king. ”

……

The next day, the Huns, under the chirping of shamans and shamans, began to attack.

The dreadnought soldiers were consumed the day before, and their physical strength was slightly depleted. However, with abundant food supplies and charcoal heating, it was completely worthwhile to fight continuously.

This time, he analyzed the enemy's arrangement. After Tong Yuan heard this, he knew that the other party was coming desperately, and told Geng Qing, Qubei, Hao Zhao and other generals that there was no need to keep it today, although they killed the enemy.

This time, Hao Zhao and Wu Baichang glanced at each other, knowing that the time had come to use the big killing weapon. They commanded their men to prepare the charcoal fires and waited for the enemy to bring them.

This time, the Huns summed up the experience of the previous day, and instead of approaching in a dense formation, they let one shield soldier cover two archers, and after reaching a distance of fifty to one hundred paces, they shot the defenders accurately.

On the side of the dreadnought, the news was still transmitted through the towering watchtowers in the back row, and the soldiers on the city wall did not lean against the wall except for shooting and throwing, making it difficult for the Huns to achieve anything through direct fire.

Projectile suppression of the wall often requires a dense formation of volleys in order to exert the effect of coverage. Therefore, although the Huns' shooting arrangement was much slower than the previous day's casualties, the effect was still very limited.

Under the attack of the Xiongnu archers under the city, the enemies in three directions launched a siege in the sound of unified and dense horns.

This time, King Youxian sent a group of soldiers, carrying a large number of long ladders, as well as battering rams to attack the city gates and city walls. In front of these siege equipment, there is also a row of soldiers and horses armed with wooden shields, which are specially designed to block the attack of arrows.

There are two gates in the north and south of the fortress, and the north side is in the deep mountains occupied by the dreadnought army, and it is difficult for the Huns to sneak attack in a roundabout way. And the south gate has been blocked with granite, and it is really empty to send people to move it.

But this time the Huns seemed to be really determined to attack the city gates, and they sent a group of slaves to carry stones under the rain of arrows, and at the same time prepared wooden battering rams to rush to the fortress gates.

Hao Zhao saw the preparation of the Huns and felt strange. This kind of collocation not only has to be attached to the ants to attack the city, but also to break through the city gates and city walls, and the focus is not concentrated on one point.

He carefully observed the situation and found that none of the enemy troops climbing the ladder were armor-piercing, while the group behind the battering ram was wearing leather armor. It seems that the ant-attached siege is a feint, and the real target is at the city gate.

"Find the main force, and it's easy to do!"

The Xinxi Liang army first used rolling logs, destroyed the enemy's formation, and then tied stones with ropes, smashing some long ladders and equipment. However, the enemy army was deliberately concentrated in the area close to the city gate to create the illusion that it was possible to attack through the city gate.

Not to be outdone, the Huns once again took advantage of their large number of soldiers and horses, trying to attract the attention of the defenders with ant attachment to the siege, and then approaching the city gate little by little with the cover of the infantry with large skin shields and chariots.

Hao Zhao will make a plan and first make every effort to deal with the Hun soldiers who have landed in the city. This time, most of the people who landed in the city were unarmored herdsmen, who may have been good at hunting and plundering, but they did not perform well in this kind of high-intensity combat, and only caused a kill ratio of more than 50 to 1.

As the war continued for half an hour, the Xiongnu archers under the city became more and more tired, and the intensity, accuracy, and frequency of shooting decreased in an all-round way.

Although the crossbow machine used by the dreadnoughts on the city wall is much lower than the bow and arrow in a short time, it has more accuracy and strength, and the consumption is smaller, which is conducive to continuous combat.

In particular, the Zuo Xianwang Department on the side of the East Gate had already been defeated once yesterday, and this time there was a tendency to collapse. Although the morale on the western side was better, it was not wide enough, and it was difficult to make a substantial breakthrough with non-elite troops.

Suddenly, there was a cheer from the side of the slave who was moving the stone. They had cleared a passage that was enough for the battering ram to reach the gates.

The Right Virtuous King ordered his men to call their horns together, signaling that the time for the general attack had come. The east and west sides should also exert force, and the Hun soldiers who were originally stationed in the camp tent were also arrayed under the mountain, preparing to enter the city and fight in the streets.

King Zuo Xian and King Liwang of Right Valley finally sent the main force in armor to participate in the battle, and the rest of the troops also used as archer cover or human ladder support, trying to break the city in one fell swoop.

This time it wasn't like yesterday, only the west side was attacking. This time, the three directions will exert force at the same time, as long as one side makes a certain breakthrough, the reserve troops and horses in the inner city will be attracted, and then it will be a fight for the forces of both sides.

The Right Virtuous King watched the battering ram approaching the city gate, and the armor soldiers behind him were also equipped with shields, so there was not much loss. His hands trembled slightly, and a joyful expression appeared on his face, as if something big was about to happen.

At this moment, twenty clay pots were thrown on the city wall, and five batches were thrown in a row. These clay pots flew out twenty or thirty paces and fell into the dense army formation of the Hun armor soldiers.

When the pot is broken, hot charcoal, gold juice, asphalt, and oil droplets are sprayed.

These horrible things were splashed everywhere, and those who were touched by the slightest bit were so burned that they stamped their feet and shouted that they were unlucky, and they reached out and scratched at them, until they tore their belts and armor apart.

Before it was over, a batch of fire arrows were suddenly thrown from behind the city wall, and the fire arrows accurately covered the place where the clay pot was broken just now, and the entire Hun armor army array ignited a sea of fire.

Even the most brave Hun soldiers were frightened, they threw away their wooden shields and battering rams, and even worse, they did not have gold juice and asphalt on their bodies, and they also took off their leather armor and clothes, and scattered as birds and beasts.

Seeing those strange things with his own eyes, King Youxian crushed his carefully prepared tactics, and fell directly off his horse in anger.

Fortunately, the guard was quick and grabbed the reins of the horse, allowing him to avoid going out of the race.
