Chapter 264: See you for a long time

"General, all the preparations have been made, just wait for the Huns to start attacking."

Half an hour after opening the city gate, a lieutenant under Wei Qing reported to him.

"Okay, you let the soldiers on the city wall closely observe the movements of the Huns, and once they have the intention of sending troops, they will tell me immediately."

"Whoa!"

Wei Qing is now waiting for the Huns to attack the city, and Gongsun He on the side is a little uneasy.

He felt that Wei Qing's personality was becoming more and more distant, and he didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

But it's certainly not a good thing to be surrounded like this all the time.

Gongsun He still hopes that Wei Qing's plan will succeed.

If it succeeds, then it will raise the morale of the Han army and the spirit of the Huns.

"General, why don't you go to the city wall to take a look?"

Gongsun He is not too relieved, at this time he should sit at the city wall.

"If the distant brother was here, he would definitely not go to the city wall to star.

He will definitely show up in front of everyone when the situation is critical.

You and I are still a little breathless, this war is not destined to end in a day or two.

Let's look at it, in the future, the two sides don't know how many open and secret battles there will be between you and me. ”

Wei Qing said these words with emotion, and Gongsun He felt that it was not unreasonable for him to think that Wei Qing began to gradually become Zhang Yuanhua.

"Then let's be patient."

……

Yi Zhixian gathered an army of 580,000 and besieged Yuyang City.

He rode at the front of the army, as if he were about to win.

"Chu Da, you are Han, you came to tell me what Wei Qing's idea is now?"

Yi Zhixian always had to ask Chu Da before making a decision, as if he could find out the habits of the Han people.

But what he didn't know was that everyone on the Han side had different personalities.

People who read books as children don't think the same way as people who haven't.

People who grew up in Chang'an City have different ideas than those who grew up in Luoyang City.

Ordinary people think differently from nobles, and generals don't think the same way than civil ministers.

Unlike the Huns, basically no one has ever read a book, and the place where they were born is either the desert or the steppe, and there is no difference in the way of life between ordinary people and nobles.

It is as if the Han people were multicellular organisms, while the Xiongnu were single-celled organisms.

"Back to Da Danyu, to be honest, I can't figure out Wei Qing's thoughts.

When I was in Chang'an City, I was not the same person as Wei Qing. ”

"You can't think of anything.

Honestly watching from the side, how I took down Yuyang City today. ”

"Yes!"

Yi Zhi looked behind him, and he felt that it was better to send a general out to make the victory more secure.

"Ajudo!"

"Big Order!"

"It's up to you to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the gates of Yuyang City on all sides!"

"Yes!"

Ajudo is not an ordinary person, he is also a big leader under the command of Yi Zhixi, and he controls a cavalry of more than 10,000 people on weekdays.

It enjoyed a good reputation within the Xiongnu.

The Evil King glanced at Ajuto, and suddenly hoped in his heart that all the 100,000 troops would fall under the walls of Yuyang City.

But he quickly shook his head, and threw the thought out of his mind.

On the city wall of Yuyang City, the captain of the Han army saw that the Huns were ordering troops, and immediately rushed to the Taishou Mansion in Yuyang City.

"General, the Huns have gathered all their large armies and are now ordering troops outside the city, and it looks like they are about to launch an offensive against us."

"How's the fire going underground?"

"Back to the general, the soldiers can't get close in their clothes."

"Let them wrap some more wet cotton cloth, and let a few thousand Huns enter the city and immediately do what I said before!"

"The last general obeys!"

The reason why Wei Qing felt risky was because he wanted to let some of the Huns into the city.

In this battle, Wei Qing not only killed the enemy, but also for some of the war horses under the crotch of the Huns.

A few thousand horses were enough to feed the soldiers and the people of the city for a day.

Wei Qing also has no choice, the food in the city can last for three months at most, and it can only last for half a month if the rations are reduced by half of each person's rations.

Ajudo quickly ordered an army of 100,000, and a group of cavalry rushed to the gates of Yuyang City on all sides.

The Han soldiers on the four walls of the city followed the orders of the generals, as they did on the first day of the Xiongnu siege, and launched three-bow bed crossbows.

After the Hun cavalry entered the firing range, they fired crossbow arrows.

This time, the Hun cavalry was more dense, and there were more Hun cavalry killed with three-bow bed crossbows.

This was followed by a volley of crossbow bolts.

However, this time, Ajudo, who was sent out by Yi Zhixiao, was much smarter, and the tens of thousands of cavalry in front kept charging forward, and the tens of thousands of troops behind began to take out bows and arrows to shoot arrows at the Han army on the city wall.

The two sides went back and forth, although the losses of the Hun cavalry far exceeded that of the Han army, but the Huns suppressed the firepower of the Han army to a certain extent.

As a result, the losses of the Hun cavalry were not as great as in the first siege.

In the first siege of the city, the losses of the Han army were not even a hundred, and there were almost zero battle losses.

This time, there were Han soldiers who fell from the city wall.

This situation made the faces of the generals of the Han army begin to be solemn.

But they still let the Huns into the city.

Because this is Wei Qing's order!

Yi Zhixian saw that the Huns had attacked Yuyang City, and roared fiercely in his heart.

He waited for almost three months.

"All armies charge! You must take Yuyang City today! ”

The Evil King frowned, this is too simple, isn't it Wei Qing?

The Evil King didn't have time to think about it, and let the generals under his command suddenly lead 100,000 cavalry to attack.

On the walls of Yuyang City.

The four captains guarding the city wall watched the Hun cavalry pouring into the city more and more, and kept telling themselves to be calmer.

The Han crossbowmen on the city walls did not stop firing at all.

Under the walls of Yuyang City, all the Hun cavalry, as long as the Han soldiers did not shoot arrows into the city, and shot arrows into the sky with their eyes closed, the arrows could also hit the Hun cavalry when they fell.

The 50,000 Han soldiers shot at the city like crazy as if they didn't want money.

The Hun cavalry, of course, did not forget to fight back.

The three-male crossbow kept running.

The Han soldiers in Yuyang City also pushed out the three-male bed crossbow.

Shoot arrows from inside the city to the gates.

A three-bow bed crossbow could cover the city gate hole, and the Han soldiers quickly pushed it away when they ran out of one, and then immediately followed by another one.

This way of relay was thought of by Wei Qing.

When the three-bow bed crossbow was the most powerful, it was placed on flat ground to engage in positional warfare with the enemy, because the steel crossbow arrows weighing more than ten pounds were more than one meter long and dozens of pounds could penetrate five or six horses and more than ten Hun soldiers.

Put it on the city wall, put a crossbow arrow under the city wall, shoot through a man and a horse, and then stick it directly into the ground. Number One

This is more suitable for hindering the charge of the Huns, and not for killing.

The captain who guarded the four city walls estimated that the Hun cavalry pouring into the city was almost 10,000, and immediately gave an order.

"Pull up the ropes! The shield array protects the three male bed crossbows! ”

After knowing that he was going to fight to the death with the Huns, Wei Qing ordered to open a few passages around the four city gate holes in Yuyang City.

These aisles are not horizontal, but vertical.

It doesn't seem to be useful at all.

However, Wei Qing made holes in the city walls separated by these aisles and city gates.

The holes become a trap.

This idea was learned by Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan used this trick several times to limit the charging speed of the enemy cavalry by pulling the iron rope or pulling the linen rope.

Wei Qing thought of this.

If one or more iron cables were to be pulled up within the city walls, wouldn't it be possible to form a steel gate?

So he just did it.

And a steel rod was added to the round hole in each aisle.

Once the iron rope at the gate was straightened, the soldiers in the aisle would stick steel rods into the chains.

A cavalry charge can break a tree, but can it break a steel rod? Even if the rod is broken, the rod stuck in the hole will cause the wire to get stuck in the hole.

No matter how awesome your Hun cavalry is, you can't push the city wall to it.

In addition, Wei Qing also had a way to take risks, he hollowed out the bottom of the city gate hole.

The hole in the city gate is actually padded with a layer of steel plates, and under this steel plate is a raging flame.

The war horse rushed over directly, and he stepped on a few steps, and he would not be frightened because of this, although the Hun soldiers would feel the high temperature of the city gate, but who would pay attention to these details on the battlefield.

Others are killing the enemy, they are roaring, and you suddenly say that I am hot to death, and everyone else has to kill you.

This layer of steel plate is the last protective measure of Weiqing.

If they couldn't withstand the attack of the Huns, they would pull the steel plate away, a natural chasm was blocked in front of the Huns, and there was a fire burning, and the Hun cavalry had to find another way out if they wanted to enter the city.

As soon as the Han army pulled the iron rope and stuck the iron rope with a steel rod, the Huns' charge came to an abrupt end.

I can't get over it.

That's a rush.

Wei Qing made a total of eight iron cables.

The foot soldier can walk in, bend over. But the cavalry will never come in unless you can get the horses to charge with their heads down.

The height of the iron rope is just a little lower than the head of the warhorse, and then a little higher than the trajectory of the crossbow arrow of the three-male crossbow.

In this way, the attack of the Han army will not be disturbed at all.

Ajudo saw the iron rope drawn up at the gate of the city, and he didn't know what to do.

Let the Hun cavalry dismount? Grab a knife to cut the rope?

The arrows of the three-bow bed crossbow were pointed at the city gate.

"Shoot arrows inside the city gate, suppress the Han army, and go in groups of ten to cut those iron cables for me!"

Ajudo saw that there were more and more Hun cavalry rushing behind him, and he had no choice, so he had to use the stupidest and most direct method.

Wei Qing knew that the Huns would shoot arrows to suppress the Han army, so he made a giant shield to protect the three-bow bed crossbow and the soldiers who controlled the three-bow bed crossbow.

The crossbow arrows of the Han army were fired at the city gate as if they did not need money.

And as soon as the Hun cavalry entered, it was basically sent to death.

The rest of the people outside the city gate did not dare to face the city gate hole, you must know that the range of the three-bow bed crossbow is more than 1,000 meters, and this concept is basically invincible in the era of cold weapons.

When the evil king saw this, he immediately understood that the Han general defending the city was still Wei Qing.

Today, the Xiongnu have no hope of taking Yuyang City, and the losses are even greater than the last time.

As for how many losses there are in the end, it all depends on Yi Zhixie's.

If he wanted to kill 100,000 people, he would be able to achieve this goal by attacking Yuyang City for another hour.

"Tell the Sudden Bone to wander outside with a large army, don't approach Yuyang City, and if you lose more than a thousand people, let him come to me with his head."

The Evil King did not shy away from saying these words in front of Yi Zhi.

"What do you mean, Evil King?"

Yi Zhixian is now a fire, neither advancing nor retreating.

The Evil King added fuel to the fire.

"It's not interesting, Da Danyu advises you to make a truce first."

"Impossible!"

Yi Zhixian turned his head and gave an order to his cronies, and after hearing this, the Evil King felt that Yi Zhixian was really stupid and cute.

Wuhuan Dadan Yu originally didn't plan to dismantle Yi Zhixie's platform, but after hearing Yi Zhixie's order, he immediately learned that the Hun Evil King gave the same order to his army as the Hun Evil King.

After a quarter of an hour when the order reached Ajudo's ears, Ajudo asked Ijuto's cronies.

"Is this really Da Shan Yu's order?"

"The war situation is urgent, how can I deceive the big boss."

Ajudo's brow never furrowed.

He was really worried, why did he take this task.

"Order everyone to dismount and enter Yuyang City from under the iron rope to fight the Han army hand-to-hand!"

Ajudo gritted his teeth and shouted the order.

The Huns dismounted and fought a bloody battle with the Han army!

Of the four Da Dan Yu, only Yi Zhixian dared to give such an order.

Now that I'm about to be able to fight on the horse, I want to get off the horse?

It's just a joke!

The Han soldiers in Yuyang City saw the Hun cavalry dismounting, and they couldn't understand what they were going to do for a while.

The Han army has never seen the Huns who dismounted and fought.

Hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides were collectively confused.

However, although Han Jun was stunned, he still did not stop his movements.

He still kept controlling the three-bow bed crossbow to shoot at the Huns.

Dozens of Hun soldiers always fell in each round of shooting, and although the speed of killing the enemy was slow, it was very safe.

The frontal battlefield was still on the city walls, and the armies on both sides never stopped.

The Huns had no shields, and the leather armor on their bodies could not withstand the power of the Han army's strong crossbows.

After seeing the Huns dismount from their horses, the captain who guarded the city wall ran to the Taishou Mansion in Yuyang City and told Wei Qing about the incident.

"What? Dismount to fight?

Do they really want to siege the city? ”

Wei Qing couldn't believe it.

Gongsun He smiled instead, he thought very simply.

"General, if this is to be described in a phrase often said by hussar generals, it is called living for a long time."

"If you live for a long time, you can see everything, and we won't stay here.

Go to the city gate and see what tricks the Huns are playing! ”

Wei Qing finally couldn't sit still.

In fact, he wanted to go and see after knowing that the whole army of the Huns was dispatched, but he felt that the captains would quickly pull the steel plate away and stop the war in time.

The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
