Chapter 260: A Small Victory

Eight hundred well-armed soldiers opened the gates with a bang.

They held halberds in their hands, as if they were going to die.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Roar!"

The soldiers in the city beat the drums of war, and the soldiers on the city walls shouted and killed.

Yi Zhi Xianhun Evil King, they were suddenly a little confused.

Isn't it that before the provocation is made, we are going to go to war head-on?

"Evil King, what the hell do you think Wei Qing is doing?"

"Da Shan Yu, I don't know what the hell Wei Qing is doing, but I know that this is the best time to attack Yuyang City.

Isn't that what you've always wanted? ”

The evil king felt that it was very likely that the Han army was in Yuyang City, and Zhang Yuan said that when he transferred the army to join the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Junchen, he was completely fooling him when he went north.

Yi Zhixian felt that if he ordered the army to charge now, the Han army would retreat into the city and close the gates.

"Is that a big order for you to eat his set?"

"Send someone to shout, you can let Wei Qing choose a place outside the city, and we will fight him!"

But soon he felt that Zhang Yuan was not fooling him.

These Han soldiers who left Yuyang City didn't even walk out of the city gate.

"Wei Qing wants to play with us?"

"When they get closer, send a few sharpshooters who can use two-stone bows, I don't remember another one who can shoot three-stone bows.

When they came into range, they shot them. ”

"Whoa."

"Yes!"

Several Xiongnu soldiers who knew Chinese rode horses and rushed under the walls of Yuyang City.

However, the three-bow bed crossbow was not fired, and Wei Qing felt that there was no need to waste the special crossbow arrows of the three-bow bed crossbow for these small soldiers.

"Da Danyu still has to come up with a way to continue to set up camp and then besiege the city or siege the city."

After such a scene, the balance in the heart of the Evil King tilted a little towards the side of the big man.

Yi Zhixian is too stupid to compare with Wei Qing or Zhang Yuanbi.

Knowing that the Huns were here to provoke, Wei Qing definitely couldn't greet these people with a smile.

In this way, with a few swishing sounds, three Hun soldiers fell under their horses in response.

"Ahhh

Yi Zhi said fiercely.

But neither the Evil King nor Wuhuan Da Dan Yu agreed.

They don't want to send their men to send the first wave.

For so many years, he has only thought about competing for the position of Da Danyu, and he has never thought about cultivating his military literacy.

The evil king immediately thought of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao before the Han Dynasty, who was also the prince of his younger brother who wanted to be his brother, how could one have an IQ and be able to fight, and a stupid one who didn't pull a few.

"Test a wave, if the Han army fights us at the gate of Yuyang City, then we will take Yuyang City today and capture Wei Qing Han Anguo alive!"

Wei Qing sneered and waved his hand.

The three-bow bed crossbow on the city wall was immediately stretched to the limit.

Then there were other crossbowmen who also aimed their crossbows at the Hun cavalry who were about to charge.

Seeing that no one echoed him, Yi Zhi was not in a hurry and immediately sent his own men and horses to attack the city, anyway, there are many people who are willful.

"Send an order to send 20,000 cavalry to attack the city from the four gates!"

A quarter of an hour later, the 20,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu army did not line up and launched a charge against the four gates of Yuyang City.

But they didn't stop charging, and now was the time when the Huns were at their most inflated.

They firmly believe that a million army can set foot on Yuyang City.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with their thinking.

"It's time, shoot me!"

Sou!

The first sound of breaking the sky sounded, and many Huns immediately realized what it was.

Each of the four Huns stepped on people, and they could touch the city wall.

If Zhang Yuan had so many large armies in his hands, and without any siege equipment.

He will first use his absolute firepower superiority to suppress the Han army, and then the whole person ladder will come out, only 100,000 people can be built into a ladder, of course, the bottom person is likely to be crushed to death directly.

If they continued to advance, 900,000 cavalry would be under the wall, and they would keep shooting arrows at the wall.

The Han army simply had no way to take the lead.

In addition, the walls of Yuyang City are only more than six meters high.

Because of the limitations of the city, the side with more people has an advantage, this is a war is not a game, there is no kind of heroic story of a chivalrous man running around the streets and then saving the whole city.

The reason why Yi Zhixian didn't do this was that he didn't have enough control over the Xiongnu, and he couldn't make these people die for him willingly.

Second, it is likely that he didn't expect this layer to come up at all.

However, even if all the 100,000 people who served as human ladders died, the loss would be smaller than that of a forced siege.

Because when the city wall was occupied by the Huns, the 200,000 Han troops in Yuyang City really called the heavens and the earth not to be spiritual.

If you are in the city, you can't rush out, and the consequence is that you can only wait for death.

After the first bolt was fired, thousands of bolts flew through the sky.

Looking at this arc-shaped steel rainbow, Wei Qing sang happily in his heart.

The three-bow bed crossbow is not a flat shot, but a downward dive.

In fact, even if you don't need people to be human ladders, it is enough to kill tens of thousands of horses, so pile up the carcasses of the horses at the city wall, and after slaughtering the city, the city will be directly abandoned.

Because there are too many dead people and horses, if the corpses are not cleaned up in time, it is easy to cause a plague.

The Hun cavalry rushed within range of the three-bow bed crossbow, and they were greeted with death.

If there is no gap between the bow and arrows, and you can shoot infinitely, Wei Qing will directly dare to push the city wall by himself, and he will die as many as he comes!

The three-bow bed crossbow is actually the biggest shock to the Huns' soul, and it really can't kill much, and the accuracy is too poor.

Of the 20,000 Hun cavalry, less than 1,000 fell.

It's much more powerful than a flat shot.

Crossbow bolts can be plunged directly into the earth to a depth of half a meter.

Shooting people and horses is directly piercing, and there is no reason at all.

But it takes time for the heavy gates to close, and it takes time for the two hundred soldiers in the gates to retreat.

The Hun cavalry also increased their speed at this time, and five hundred meters was only a distance that they could rush through in an instant.

The Han crossbowmen on the city walls did not choose to shoot.

However, the three-bow bed crossbow only fired one round and there was no next wave of attacks, and everyone, including Wei Qing and Gongsun He, took the strong crossbow.

Yi Zhixian ordered these cavalry to storm the city gate, and they really attacked the city gate, and they did not want to use the bow and arrow in their hands to suppress the Han army on the city wall.

By the time the Hun cavalry rushed to five hundred meters away from the wall of Yuyang City, those soldiers had already closed the city gate according to Wei Qing's words.

Wei Qing pulled the trigger, and the arrow immediately flew out, facing the chest of a Hun soldier, who fell from his horse after being hit by an arrow.

This was followed by the deafening sound of breaking through the air, and the thud of someone falling from their horses.

To be honest, it's still a strong crossbow to kill.

Because 500 meters is not within the range of a crossbow.

Only a hundred meters can be used to maximize the power of a crossbow arrow.

"Shoot me a volley at the gates!"

Those Han soldiers guarding the city gate cave dared to stay in the city gate cave and fight with the Huns who rushed to the city gate.

"Damn, Wei Qing is luring us to attack Yuyang City."

Yi Zhixian said fiercely, and the Evil King next to him sneered, just when the best fighter was missed by Yi Zhixiao.

20,000 cavalry is simply not enough to kill.

There were at least 50,000 crossbowmen on the walls of Yuyang City.

It only took one salvo to leave more than 10,000 corpses of the 20,000 cavalry of the Huns, and when they rushed to the city wall, there was another volley.

"But before the cavalry I sent out rushed to the city wall, the Han army was already beginning to close the city gate."

"Do you see that when some people rushed to the city gate, the gate was not closed?

At this time, as soon as the cavalry charged, were there 10,000 men behind his door? ”

"What are you sneering at, Evil King?"

"I'm laughing at Da Danyu and don't dare to make a desperate bet, if 100,000 cavalry charges just now, do you think these four city gates in Yuyang County can still be closed?"

The evil king didn't bother to fight with Yi Zhixi, he felt that if he wanted to help the Huns, he must let Yi Zhixian understand his stupidity.

"The gates of the city have been closed, what's the point of you still attacking the city?

Gather the army, surround Yuyang City, and station on the spot.

The Han army will not trap itself in this city, and will definitely go out of the city to find an opportunity for a decisive battle with us. ”

Yi Zhixian had never had experience in attacking cities, and in fact, neither did the Evil King, he only used this trick when he was plundering the countries of the Western Regions.

With the charging speed of the cavalry, there was no way for the soldiers of those small countries in the Western Regions to close the city gate in time.

"According to your intentions, now we continue to attack the city?"

In fact, whether it is the Han or the Huns, as long as it is not themselves who dies, they don't have much feeling in their hearts.

I have seen too many dead people in the army for many years, people will die in war, people will die when they get sick, people will die when they even give birth to a child, and even more people will die of starvation.

If you have to grieve every person who dies around you, then there will be no happy time in this life.

Yi Zhi nodded obliquely, even if he was uncomfortable in his heart, he still followed the advice of the Evil King.

"The whole army is stationed in place, kill cattle and sheep tonight, and let those Han people see how comfortable the Huns are!"

Yi Zhi gave an order, and the Xiongnu army began to set up a military camp on the spot, as if the 20,000 cavalry who had just died were not their Huns.

"It's a pity that this trick can only be used once."

Wei Qing was glad that the Huns did not send more cavalry to attack the city, and regretted that the Huns did not send more cavalry to attack the city.

That's how contradictory people are.

"Well, the Huns will not attack again."

"The general really made a clever move, and the Huns didn't even touch us, and 20,000 people died."

Gongsun He Daxi, such a military feat is enough to be crowned a marquis when it arrives in Chang'an.

The soldiers are not so desperate for the future.

In the next few days, the Evil King sent various people to provoke.

There are those who pee and in front of Wei Qing, and there are tens of thousands of people who shout and scold in unison, but Wei Qing is silent.

There are more cavalry of the Xiongnu faction, and it is very likely that they will not be able to hold the city gate, but if there are a little more, it is also possible that the Han army killed 10,000 or 20,000 more Huns.

Now every Hun who died would reduce some pressure on the Han army.

This victory still washed away the haze over Yuyang City.

In fact, some people have a way in their hearts, but they don't say it.

The evil king had a way to defeat the Han army without a fight, but he was still riding the wall and didn't say this way.

As for Chu Da, there is also a way, not to mention that he can't say it because of his position, and even if he says it, he can't guarantee that Yi Zhixian will believe it.

This insult is nothing, if he can't even endure this insult, he Wei Qing can't be the general of the Han Dynasty.

In the past, Han Xin was not able to endure the humiliation of his crotch.

Yi Zhi was slanky, and gathered everyone together all day to discuss how to force the Han army out of the city.

The big order in the account can reach a Han person, which means that it is not too obvious.

"Yes, we've tried everything, but we haven't tried this method."

Yi Zhi looked directly at Chu Da, wanting to see what Chu Da meant.

After all, when Chu Da gave advice before, Yi Zhixian was confused by the reverse operation.

"Da Danyu, we might as well send a few Han people, Wei Qing will kill the Huns when he sees them, but he may not kill the Han people."

While we were discussing it that day, a big boss suddenly suggested.

You must know that I still have some use, and it would be better to send those useless people. ”

"Hahaha, Chu Da, you are really cruel to your people.

Since this is the case, you will send a few Han people to the city wall of Yuyang City to insult Wei Qing and insult the Han Kingdom! ”

"I don't want to go because I'm afraid of death.

But if Da Danyu really wants to give it a try, I'm not the only Han in this army.

At the beginning, I was caught with the Xiongnu, and some Han Chinese followed.

I don't know if there is no such person, or if the Huns are too forgetful, after all, they have no writing to pass down.

And Chu Da is not a military general, just a civil official, and it is easier for people to despise within the martial Huns.

Fortunately, when the military ministers wanted to exchange him for Yu Dan before, this eliminated the suspicion of most of the Huns about Chu Da.

"Yes."

Chu Da had long thought that there would be such a day.

The Huns didn't really believe in a Han at all, and he had never heard of the Han eunuch Zhongxing that Zhang Yuan had told him before after coming to the Huns.

After giving Chu Da the task of selecting people, the meeting was dispersed.

Everyone is waiting for the Han people to provoke Wei Qing, what kind of result will it be.

Even if Wei Qing killed those Han people, the Xiongnu would only be happy, not angry.

The Han side didn't pay attention to Chu Da at all, which was the cognition of the Huns.

Otherwise, he would not have survived in the Xiongnu power center so safely for so many years.

The reason why Zhang Qian was able to survive was because he did not get close to the really dangerous Huns at all.

The scene of slaughtering each other among the same clan is still very happy.

Chu Da walked out of the big tent with a gloomy face, and slowly walked towards his big tent, where he lived was surrounded by Han people.
