On the side of the dreadnought, Hao Zhao did not interfere with the Hun soldiers when they climbed the city wall, and he did not even arrange a direct shot from the side of the crossbowman.

In this way, the Hun archers under the city had no target for a while, so they had to continue to shoot blindly and cover the city wall indiscriminately.

It's just that their arms are close to the limit, and the arrows they shoot are not to mention destroying the anti-arrow facilities arranged, even if they hit the dreadnoughts, it is difficult to hurt them who are in armor.

In the blink of an eye, the first Hun soldier went to the city wall!

This man was about seven feet tall, but he weighed at least four hundred pounds, and his two-tier armor proved that he was at least a centurion.

Although he is obese, he has served as the leader of King Zuoxian's personal guard for many years, and he can rank in the top 100 on the grassland in terms of self-confidence. At this time, he became the first warrior to attack the city, which was really refreshing!

But when he jumped as hard as he could, he trembled and didn't know what to do.

In front of him, the Dreadnought soldiers circled around the position where the ladder had come up. There is no flaw in the iron shield, and behind it are rows of spears, forming a dense array of guns, which is impermeable.

Before he could react, the people behind him rushed up and knocked him forward.

"Poof"

"Puff Puff"

He had been stabbed with all the power of the spear, and several large holes had been stabbed all over his body. Until he took his last breath, he didn't have time to curse a word

The same was true of the Hun soldiers who came up behind, and they were quickly strangled by the dreadnoughts who were lined up in a dense formation.

Some Huns fired a few arrows in a panic, trying to tear open the gap in this way, but the dreadnought's shield and armor were excellent, and even if someone was injured, someone quickly replaced him and continued to crush him.

In fact, the dreadnoughts were behind each ladder, and there were only twenty or thirty soldiers in formation, and if it was ordinary terrain, it was estimated that they would soon be overwhelmed by the enemy.

However, the three ladders that happened to be left were specially designed to let the enemy pounce into the trap, and a ladder could go up to several people at the same time, no matter how they fought, they were all in a formation against individuals, heavy and lightly armed, and there were many people and few people.

Under the city wall, a Xiongnu commander saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly beckoned the archers to throw the area near the covered ladder.

However, the Hun archers, whose arms were sore, even if they could be projected to the designated area, would face anti-arrow felt blankets and armor and iron helmets that everyone had, and the actual effect could be imagined.

Hao Zhao looked at the secret weapons behind him, these weapons of mass killing can deal a devastating blow to the enemy's morale, but looking at today's situation, it is estimated that they will not be used.

The situation on the east side of the fortress is even more unsuspenseful.

The right general king was originally weaker, and coupled with the secret instructions of the right virtuous king, it was even more formal.

After a few back and forth, the Xiongnu didn't even have time to try to enter the city, and their morale collapsed several times and spontaneously collapsed. It's just that the terrain is relatively flat, so you won't fall down the mountain and get too much damage.

The fighting on the west side was fierce, with the Dreadnoughts using swords and fire arrows. But the king of Zuogu was very resolute, and after only two of the first ladders were built, a second batch of ladders was sent.

The dreadnoughts naturally released rolling wood and stones one after another, making it difficult for the Huns to attack the city wall on a large scale. Those Hun soldiers who went up to the city wall could not break through the military formation, and their lives were lost at a rapid rate.

King Zuogu Li wanted to achieve the first achievement, he saw that the mountain was high and could overlook the inside of the fortress, so he hurriedly sent a hundred elite archers to climb the mountain to seize the commanding heights.

The 100 elite shooters were about to approach the top of the mountain when they suddenly encountered a rockfall. Then a detachment of the Dreadnought Guard Battalion beat them so that they couldn't raise their heads.

On the side of the west wall, some Hun soldiers were red-eyed, and tried in vain to use striking wood or even weapons to directly open a hole in the city wall.

However, the granite is extremely solid, and it is by no means comparable to the ordinary earthen city wall, and the Huns are broken by hand, and there is no breakthrough.

King Zuogu Li was bent on fighting to the death, and sent his elites, herdsmen, and slaves to climb up directly under the east wall.

Although the fortress is extremely solid, it is only about four meters high in later generations. The Huns didn't care about the safety of the slaves, and they could climb up even if they stepped on it.

This move is a miracle, after all, the number of the new Xiliang army on the city wall is limited, it is impossible to defend every area, and it is even more difficult to form too many dense military formations.

A group of Hun soldiers climbed up, and most of them were surrounded by dreadnoughts without siege, and occupied a large area at once.

"Greetings to the Captain! The enemy troops went up to the Western Wall, more than fifty people! ”

Hao Zhao still said calmly, "It's really fierce, it's a little interesting like this." Wu Baichang, what do you think? ”

The Baichang surnamed Wu on the side, who is also from Taiyuan County, although he is young but quite courageous, suggested at this time, "Since the other party is so active, then we have that thing to greet them." ”

Hao Zhao smiled, as soon as that thing is used, I am afraid that the enemy will scare away. The enemy outside the city will be annihilated after all, so if you can kill more wounds, hold on for a while.

He said, "Don't use a big killer yet, I think give them the western section of the city wall, let the inner wall output at full strength, and then strangle the enemy army!" ”

"No!"

Three rapid trumpets sounded, and the dreadnoughts immediately retreated from the western wall. But several exits to the wall, as well as the corners to the north, were guarded by heavily armored dreadnoughts.

There were more than 100 Hun soldiers on the city wall, and they immediately fought for several exits. The archers under the walls also hurried up the ladder to secure this section of the city.

Seeing that the other party's attention was all on his comrades near the outer wall, he roared, stood up with the archers on the inner wall, and immediately fired at the enemy with a sound of the hammer.

The chirping of the beeping instantly resounded throughout the fortress. The inner wall is only thirty steps away from the outer wall, and although this distance can't be done with 100 shots, the hit rate will never be less than 40%!

Each of the 200 people here quickly shot five or six Mingdi, and this kind of "saturated Mingdi strike" suddenly frightened the Hun soldiers on the city wall, and knocked down a large number of Hun soldiers like mowing grass.

Tong Yuan also watched the effect of this round of blows on the inner wall, and the results of "mowing the grass" made him quite satisfied.

Most of the Hun soldiers who were concentrating on fighting were shot in the side, and they were killed in a short time.

The Hun soldiers who were still climbing heard the loud sound of the dwarf, even continuously, overshadowing all the shouts of human voices. They were so frightened that they immediately fled into the wilderness.

Hao Zhao saw that Qubei shot all the enemy soldiers who had ascended the city in one fell swoop, and ordered, "Immediately recapture the city wall, knock down the ladder, and shock the enemy with a round of fire arrows." ”

Outside the fortress, King Zuogu Li had just seen a large number of Hun soldiers attacking the city wall, thinking that the general situation had been decided, and sent a messenger to King Zuoxian to report the good news.

Just as he was triumphant, he was awakened by the sound of thousands of chirping sounds, and all those who went up were killed without exception.

Then I saw the soldiers and horses approaching the city wall scurrying like hares. His guards could only shout hysterically at the dreadnoughts who had recaptured the walls.

King Zuo Xian's side also heard the endless sound of chirping from the west. He had heard the introduction of the defeated soldiers before, and he couldn't understand this kind of terribleness, but now he heard it with his own ears and realized how terrible the one in the city was.

He didn't wait for the scouts to give feedback, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that he, the most generous Zuo Xian King, would not be able to afford it.

The right gradually, the king immediately responded. King Zuogu Liwang lamented at the fortress for a while, and ordered his subordinates to take all the corpses they could take with him, and then left in disappointment.

Tong Yuan looked at the retreating Hun soldiers, and couldn't help but be a little worried, do they still have the courage to continue attacking the city tomorrow?

There are still good things waiting for them in the city, and if they are cowardly in this battle, it will be a bit detrimental to the development of follow-up plans.

Soon after, statistics showed that the Xinxi Liang Army lost more than 40 people in this battle, and no more than 100 were seriously wounded. Most of the remaining lightly wounded could continue fighting within three days.

It is estimated that more than 1,000 enemy troops were killed, of which more than 700 were left on the city walls, and countless others were wounded.

This battle can be said to be a complete victory, with a kill ratio of more than thirty to one. Considering the gap in armor and medical care, it is estimated that the proportion of serious injuries and disabilities will be higher.

The dreadnought army units were vividly displayed, the heavy infantry and crossbowmen on the city wall, the lookouts and messengers on the watchtower, the dreadnought archers and Hun archers in the city, as well as the Tuntian army throwing equipment, and the small group of soldiers and horses who went out of the city to fight

This is a highly integrated system, and it may not be much ahead of its opponents on its own, but when it is formed as a system, it can form a crush.

And Hao Zhao, as the key former enemy commander of this operation, exerted the power of the system at the most opportune time.

Tong Yuan recalled the embarrassment he had in Haoyang City two years ago, when Xu Rong only tentatively attacked and crippled him and Geng Qing, making him regret it for a while, for fear that his decision would lead to a dead end.

Now, with the accumulation of development in the past few years, and with aces like Hao Zhao, the Xinxi Liang Army has gradually become a strong army with first-class ability to defend the city.

On the side of the Huns, the kings quarreled into a pot of porridge.

King Zuo Gu Li believed that the right general who attacked the east did not contribute, resulting in Tong Yi being able to concentrate the inner city shooters on the west side, and finally caused the tragic death of the warriors who entered the city!

The right general Wang thinks that the king of the left valley is too aggressive. How could anyone have a warrior attack on the first day of siege? Generally, it is necessary to test the reality in the city, and then adjust the countermeasures.

King Zuo Xian was annoyed, his previous order was obviously to seize the time and attack the city with all his might, and it would definitely be wrong not to do his best.

The Right Hyun King spoke, and he accused the Left Hyun King of improper command and order. This time, the king of the left valley launched a fierce attack, and the right gradually separated the king from the left Xian Wang, of course, I don't know the trend over there, otherwise I will also storm up.

And the Zuo Xian King in the center, he didn't see that the momentum was wrong, so he withdrew and adjusted, and he didn't launch the most fierce attack together, which was the main reason for the futility.

King Zuo Xian was already dizzy and anxious because of the heavy losses, and he was injured by the words of King Youxian, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, he said, "You can do it, you can go up." ”

King Youxian waited for this sentence for a long time, and replied, "Of course, my Hun warriors are not cowards. Tomorrow our troops will definitely be able to take that little city! ”

The Right Sage King swore by his words, and the rest of the kings were shocked by his momentum, apparently acquiescing to his statement.

The Right Virtuous King said, "Tomorrow, our troops will replace the Right General King, and this time we will attack the city with the best warriors, and all the troops involved in the attack must exert all their strength to suppress the arrogance of the city." ”

King Zuo Xian said, "Tomorrow, our troops will continue to attack the city, and this time we will definitely attack with all our might!" ”

King Youxian said, "King Zuogu Li's loss is a little bit higher today, so let's go back to the camp to rest first." On the west side of the city, it will be made up by the king of the right valley, what do you think? ”

King Zuogu Li had the heart to take revenge, but today he was indeed hit hard by the Xinxi Liang army, so he had no choice but to accept the proposal of King Youxian.

In the end, it was arranged that the right king would attack the wide north side with the city gate, the left king would attack the west side, and the right king of the valley would attack the east side. The rest of the kings did their duty and prepared to fight again the next day.
