Chapter 585: Rout

The collapse of the walls of Kuhara Castle was not a small section, but the entire southern wall collapsed almost completely.

The six days of continuous attacks by the Wei army's catapults have already overwhelmed and scarred this city wall, although the Huns are constantly repairing it every night, but all they can repair is the external structure of the city wall, in fact, the inner structure of the city wall has been shaken by the continuous shock waves.

And the last stone bullet that hit the city wall was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the partial collapse caused a chain reaction, and the entire city wall collapsed with a bang.

All the Huns stared at the walls that no longer existed, and their surprise was beyond words.

At this moment, Jiuyuan City was like a woman who had been stripped naked, and Chiguo Guodi stood in front of the people.

Cao Liang's expression was very calm, and the Wei army almost ran out of all the stone bullets, and finally let him see the result he wanted.

If it was just a hole, the Huns could still block it with the advantage of their strength, but the entire city wall no longer existed, and the Huns would no longer be able to block the attack of the Wei army no matter what.

The Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion attacked first, and they attacked Jiuyuan Castle on both flanks, leaving the space for the attack in the middle to the infantry units.

Three infantry battalions also moved at the same time, but they were certainly slower than the two cavalry battalions.

The catapults did not stop attacking because of the collapse of the city wall, but intensified their attacks, and continued to attack the Xiongnu army assembled in the city.

After losing the defensive ability of the city wall, the Huns had to line up to meet the attack of the Wei army, but the blow of the catapult was unbearable for them, because these stone bullets could not be resisted by any means of defense, even if it was not safe to hide in the house, the stone bullets would still smash the roof.

Now the catapults of the Wei army are basically aimed at the Huns' team to attack, and there are many people there to smash there, often a stone bullet can cause many casualties of the Huns.

In fact, the attack of the catapult is more psychological, even if each stone bullet kills an average of one person, that round of attack, at most dozens of casualties, for tens of thousands of Huns, this casualty is actually insignificant.

But the shadow thus created in the hearts of the Huns was incomparably great, and they had to look at the sky with fear, always on the lookout for stone bullets to fall from the sky and hit their heads.

The greater role of the catapult is to constantly destroy the formation of the Huns, as long as the Huns gather, the stone bullets will be smashed in that direction, so that in order to escape the blow, the Huns can only keep evacuating and dodging, and naturally they can no longer maintain the corresponding combat formation.

And the Wei army was already pressing with all their strength at this moment and rushed into Jiuyuan City.

In order to avoid injuring their own troops, the catapults eventually stopped attacking and handed over the battlefield to cavalry and infantry units.

All the officers and men of the Pingbei Army, who had been waiting for six days, were in high spirits and enthusiastic at this moment, like a tiger out of the forest, rushing towards Jiuyuan City.

At this moment, Jiuyuan City can no longer be called a city at all, and the sudden collapse of the southern city wall can allow the Pingbei Army to enter the city unimpeded, which is probably the easiest siege operation in history.

The Huns, on the other hand, were completely frightened and had no fighting spirit, even though their number of soldiers and horses was superior to that of the Wei army, but since the moment the city wall fell, everyone was terrified, and despair permeated their hearts.

Originally, when retreating to Jiuyuan, the Huns were still united, and several people and horses were united, vowing to hold the last territory of the Huns, but with the civil strife of the Huns, after Liu Teng's death, the fighting spirit of the Huns collapsed unconsciously.

Even the remaining three Huns were full of vigilance against each other, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be swallowed up by their opponents.

Especially between Liu Bao and Liu Meng, there was already suspicion, but after this incident, the suspicion became more and more intense, and they were wary of each other, and there was no trust.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to condense combat effectiveness.

In the face of the attack of the Wei army, the first to flee was the army of the northern Xiongnu, although after Liu Teng's death, most of the northern Xiongnu troops chose to surrender and were annexed by the other three, but the establishment was still relatively intact.

They have always been haunted by Liu Teng's death, and when Jiuyuan City fell, they were definitely unwilling to work for other Xiongnu tribes, so they took the lead in fleeing.

The embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and it was precisely because of the rout of these northern Huns that the Huns' brigade in the city began to collapse.

Unintentional love of war has become the idea of most of the Hun soldiers, because the Wei army used a strong attack method when attacking the city, so the Huns fled without pressure, they only had to open the city gates on the north and east sides, and they could escape.

Liu Meng originally had some thoughts about organizing the army to resist, but after his order was issued, he found that there were few soldiers and horses who were ordered to act, and when he sent someone to find Liu Bao and Liu Jiao, he found that Liu Bao and Liu Jiao had long been gone.

This couldn't help but make Liu Meng angry and scolded, at a critical time, these two guys were actually greedy for life and afraid of death, and took the lead in escaping.

The cavalry of the Wei army had already taken the lead in attacking and fighting with the Hun soldiers, but the Hun soldiers could not resist the attack of the Wei army at all, and they were defeated one after another, making a mess.

Liu Meng knew that the defeat was decided, and he was powerless to recover, and seeing that the Wei army had rushed to the front, he had to lead the army to retreat to the north gate, wanting to escape from there.

At this moment, in Jiuyuan City, it had already become a pot of porridge, and the Hun soldiers who fled in three directions crowded on every street, blocking all the roads, trampling on each other, and causing countless casualties.

The main reason is that each city gate is relatively narrow, under normal circumstances, the passage is not a problem, but at this moment in such a chaotic situation, everyone is scrambling to get out of the city, congestion is naturally inevitable.

The three city gates were crowded, and when Liu Meng arrived at the north gate, the front was crowded with people, densely packed with people, in this case, if you want to get out of the city, it is more difficult to try than to climb to the sky.

Liu Meng couldn't help but be a little anxious, looking at the back of the person in front of him who was a little familiar, he shouted, as soon as the person turned around, Liu Meng looked at it, it was none other than Liu Yue, the southern handsome.
