The Hu people temporarily retreated, leaving more than 100 corpses under the city.

Ah Hu sat weakly with his back against the battlement, his arms swollen and painful, and he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. At a glance, I saw that Shi Daring's face beside him was washed out of the way with sweat, just like a black face that had not been painted in a big play, and he couldn't help laughing "haha".

The laughter was contagious, the tense atmosphere at the head of the city relaxed, and the soldiers laughed softly, in the siege just now, there were only about 30 dead and wounded soldiers, which was a small victory.

Hu Jian had no smile on his face, and although Hu Qi temporarily retreated, there were three big pits left on the city wall by the city trucks. He had been at the border for many years, and he knew that Hu Qi often used such pits to dig in, and the attacks on the city could not take care of the pits, and the burning materials dropped could be easily extinguished.

After discussing with Lu Guangzong for a while, Hu Jianzheng decided to personally take people out of the city and plug the big pit caused by the rushing car.

Going out of the city means that the risk increases dramatically, and you have to face Hu Qi head-on. Hu Jianzheng selected five hundred veterans, Ah Hu took off the leather armor on his body and tied it to Shi Daring's body, with multiple layers of armor on the battlefield and many lives, Shi Daring patted Ah Hu gratefully and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not afraid to fight a few more times." ”

The loess was mixed with lime, glutinous rice soup and egg white, and then put into straw bags, and the requisitioned people and masons made preparations under the city. Looking north from the head of the city, Hu Qi stopped two miles away, and most of the people got off their horses and rested, and it was foreseeable that they were accumulating strength to prepare for the next impact. A little farther away, a large army of servants dressed in different costumes was feeding the horses.

Two flags were planted in the scattered horses, where the bear's head and the bull's head coexisted in harmony.

The leader of the Ashi Department, Ashi Zhimo, wore a wolfskin hat, his long hair fell from the brim of the hat to cover most of his face, and the steel hoop ring forehead became more and more like a knife, and his expression was serious. Hun Zhi Luke chattered about a withered grass in his mouth, and asked nonchalantly: "Uncle, this knife hasn't seen blood yet, why did you let everyone go back?" ”

Ah Shi Zhimo said in a deep voice: "You also saw the rough arrows shot at the head of the city just now, if you rush up, even if you take down the Huangsha Pass, I am afraid that the people of our two tribes will lose more than half, and the Ah Shi Department and the Hun Branch will not let the Wushi Department swallow it in one bite." Do you think Ushkumpo is following us to watch the excitement? ”

Spit out the broken grass foam in his mouth, and the Hun branch lawyer said a little heavily: "I know what, if you don't take the Huangsha Pass and go south, the Hun branch will also have to be swallowed." I have only enough food for a month, and in a few days we will have to kill the lambs. If it weren't for the strict order of the Wushi Ministry not to kill merchants, I would have been able to raise enough food along the way, so why would I be able to die here. ”

A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Ah Shimo's mouth, and he said with a smile: "The grassland has always been strong and eats weak, we can't compete with the Wushi Department, can't we still win against these Zheng people?" Waiting for everyone to slow down, we rested in Huangsha Pass before sunset. ”

"Uncle, is there a way?"

Raising the whip and pointing at Huangsha Pass, the big hole in the city wall is like a huge sore, Ah Shi Zhimo said: "Wait a minute, let the servant army go up first, grab the city and dig inside, I estimate that it will take two hours to dig through the city wall, without the city wall to block, who can stop our iron horse." ”

The city gate of Huangsha Pass slowly opened, and more than 20 knife carts pushed out, forming a wall of knives sixty steps away from the city gate, and the shields densely covered the pikemen behind, and the spears were obliquely erected upwards from the gaps in the shields, and the tips of the spears shining with cold light pointed to the sky.

At the head of the city, the winch crossbow re-installed the crossbow arrows, and faced Hu Qi with teeth and claws. Ah Hu is holding a bow and arrows, and he is on guard, and under the city are his own robed brothers, and his own arrows may be able to bring them a little more life.

The people carried straw bags along the city wall to the gap, Hu Jianzheng's brows furrowed even tighter, these gaps are as high as half a zhang, more than two feet deep, if Hu Qi is allowed to dig into it calmly, at most more than an hour Huangsha Pass will be chiseled through.

Seeing Zheng Bing leaving the city, Ah Shi Zhimo seemed to want to repair the gap in the city wall, and said with a cruel smile: "I'm afraid that you won't come out, lawyer, you can lead people to rush and disperse those Zheng soldiers." I led people to outflank them from both sides, let the servants follow, and make a few more openings in the wall while there was chaos. ”

Hun Zhi Luke pulled out the scimitar at his waist, held it high above his head, and circled the horse like a wind, and when he saw that the men in the tribe were on his horse, he shouted: "Come with me!" ”

One horse took the lead, like an arrow, and rushed towards the Zheng army, which was defended like a hedgehog under the Huangsha Pass, with more than a thousand Hu horsemen.

Ashzhimo had the servant army divided into two teams, and rushed towards Huangsha Pass from the left and right with two siege engines. Ashzhima slowly urged his mount, gathering strength and waiting for it to erupt.

A hundred steps away, arrows rained down. The arrow struck the shield like a torrential rain on plantains, but it was a music of death.

"Steady, keep the gun flat, raise the shield, don't miss a gap." Hu Jian was shouting loudly.

The city began to counterattack, the rain of arrows was intertwined again, and there were constantly Hu horses falling off their horses, and the crossbow of the city brought up a rain of blood.

In front of him was the erected tip of the spear, and of course Hun Zhilu Rong would not stupidly crash into it, and fifteen paces away the horse began to move diagonally, and the horses behind him made a sharp turn like flowing water.

The scimitar was sharpened on the barrel of the gun, the head of the gun fell to the ground one after another, and there were also unstoppable Hu Qi who slammed into the gun forest, was pierced with thousands of holes, and smashed it on the shield erected high with the help of inertia.

The shield was crushed down, and Hu Jianzheng shouted: "Keep the formation, don't mess up, hold steady." ”

Hun Zhi Lurong and Hu Qi had already swept across the gun array and came to the left. Hu Jianzheng shouted: "The formation is closed." ”

The chariot formation contracted into an arc, tightly covering the people who were repairing the city wall, and the arrows at the head of the city shot towards the Hu cavalry under the root of the city, and Hun Zhilu Rong swung his knife to cut at the people who could not dodge, and the blood splashed on the wall, making the yellow sand extremely eye-catching.

The horses rode like the wind, and they came and went freely, but the chariot formation moved slowly, and Hun Zhilu Rong and his men began to launch a second charge against the chariot array.

The forest of spears had already thinned out a lot, and Hun Zhilu Rong saw that there was a vacant space on the right side, and two spears were erected sporadically, and immediately urged the horse to gallop, and the long knife cut off the protruding spear head, and the horse's hooves were raised high, and he stepped heavily on the shield wall in front of him.

The shield wall sank down and was firmly raised, but then countless horses' hooves stepped down, and the shield wall disintegrated, revealing Zheng Bing inside.

"Rush in", Hun Zhilu Rong lifted the reins of the horse, and the green horse under the seat jumped up, crossed the knife cart, and stepped towards the top of Zheng Bing's head, and the car formation was broken through.

The horses flew in one after another, and they were greeted by rows of swords and guns, and the five hundred veterans brought out by Hu Jianzheng knew that if they were scattered by the cavalry, then the next would be the fate of being slaughtered.

"Don't panic, set up two layers of shields and re-set up the gun." With Hu Jianzheng's roar, soon the second shield wall was erected in front of Hun Zhi Lurong.

Zheng Bing did not rout as expected, the Zheng soldiers in front of him were like cowhide soaked in water, tough and slippery, Hun Zhi Rong felt trapped in a quagmire, the cavalry could not be used, there were knives and guns everywhere, and the horse's hips were also slashed.

Hun Zhi Lu Rong roared depressedly, swung his knife and slashed at Zheng Bing in front of him, one of the two next to him cut his horse's legs, and the other person stabbed his horse body, Hun Zhi Lu Rong had to lead the horse to dodge to the side.

After paying the price of more than 200 men, the servant army threw themselves under the city wall, and began to gouge the wall with their hoes.

The three great holes in the wall were crudely sealed, and the people ran in a disorderly manner towards the gate, which opened a three-foot-wide crack for the people to enter.

The opportunity cannot be missed, Ashi Zhimo raised the machete high, more than 2,000 galloping horses rushed towards Hu Jianzheng's car formation, as long as they rushed to the car formation, less than eighty steps away, the galloping horses arrived in an instant, the city gate was too late to close, and the yellow sand was beckoning.

The 2,000 gallops were unstoppable, and you could feel the ground shaking from afar. Fortunately, the city wall has been repaired, and Hu Jianzheng shouted: "Don't mess up the formation, withdraw to the city, quickly." ”

How can people run past the galloping horses, there are still more than twenty steps away from the city gate, and seeing that Hu Qi is only ten steps away from the team. Hu Jianzheng shouted: "Dodge to both sides." The Zheng soldiers crawled to the sides and avoided the way, and the way to the city gate was given way.

Thirty paces away, the city gate was wide open, and Ashi was overjoyed, brandishing a scimitar and shouting: "Grab the grain, grab the woman." ”

Thunderous cheers rang out behind him.

The city gate of Huangsha Pass was wide open, and there were two winch crossbows side by side at the black doorway, and six crossbow arrows with thick arms rose slightly, quietly waiting for Hu Qi who was in a hurry with a grim smile of death.

Ashzhimo saw the murderous thing in the dark of the city gate, and the figure with people and horses nailed to the ground flashed in his mind. Subconsciously reined in his horse, and countless galloping horses around him overflowed past him.

"Boom", the board machine was smashed down heavily. Six giant arrows were sprayed outward in a fan, and the galloping Hu cavalry was pierced by the giant arrows, and the giant arrows continued to fly backwards, and in an instant, thirty or forty horses fell in a pool of blood.

The dying horses neighed and could no longer stand up, and the soldiers who had fallen in pools of blood and were not yet dead groaned and scratched weakly, and Yan Jun moved the Shura Hell to the front of the Yellow Sand Pass.

Hu Cai's attack was stopped by the giant crossbow, and Ah Shizhi grinded his eyes red and roared loudly to regroup his team.

At the city gate, a group of cavalry galloped out and rushed towards the hovering Hu cavalry, led by Lu Guangzong. There were 300 military horses in Huangsha Pass, and at this moment, under the leadership of Lu Guangzong, they launched a counterattack against Hu Cai.

Before leaving the city, Hu Jianzheng and Lu Guangzong had already discussed, and at this moment Hu Qi was in a panic, which was a good opportunity to fight back, Hu Jianzheng shouted: "Siege, kill." ”

The winch crossbow at the head of the city shot nine arrows at the place where there were many Hu cavalry, and the Hu cavalry was depressed, and the war horse neighed and did not listen to the command. Under the leadership of the two generals, Ashino couldn't control the defeated subordinates, so he could only sigh and retreat with the team.
