Chapter 14: The Old Horseman Is Targeted

Bald got on his horse, picked up the horn around his waist and blew it.

The long sound of the horn made the soldiers' blood boil!

Ace's unique attack: Charge to the death!

The knights gathered like a stream in front of the bald.

"Warriors! The great Aries King has been inspired by the gods! โ€

"In the city of clouds, there are mountains of grain, countless gold, and beautiful women!"

"The great Aries King promised that as long as he captured Cloudsdale, he would generously distribute the spoils of war to all the brave!"

The knights' faces were flushed and their eyes were bloodshot, just waiting for Bald to give the order to attack.

"Pass the order! Whoever climbs up to the top of the city will be rewarded with a woman! โ€

Bald Li's face was full of excitement, and he raised the bronze hammer in his hand: "Warriors, take down the clouds, eat and drink spicy!" โ€

"Rush, !!"

The five thousand knights of the Aries Department responded to the call, followed by their left general, and rushed towards Cloud City.

Tens of thousands of horses' hooves smashed on the ground, and the sound was like the earth shaking.

Hearing the movement, the soldiers of the Han army poked their heads out, looked at this spectacular scene, and silently clenched the bow and crossbow in their hands.

After the baptism of the first half of the night, those who survived have adapted to the war.

Under the command of the superiors, they were in place and carried out their tasks step by step.

Han Rui and Sang Ji, Zhang Weiyang, and the cook and Gui Gong were in the same team, and Sang Ji was the captain.

The four of them all had strong bows in their hands, and Han Rui still had the crossbow in his hands.

Under the city, the attack of the slave army became more and more fierce, as if they no longer feared death, and rushed up the city wall bravely and resolutely, like a killing machine.

As slaves on the steppe, they were not allowed to mate and were not allowed to have offspring.

But today, as long as you stand on the top of the city, your life will usher in great changes!

From a slave to a warrior known as the Huns!

Get wealth, women, and the right to have offspring!

For them, this temptation was tantamount to the emperor's desire for immortality.

Even if there is little hope, it is worth risking everything they have - the only life they have!

Han Rui gradually regained the feeling he had practiced hunting in his previous life, but Rao was able to shoot down a slave soldier in an average of five seconds, which was also a drop in the bucket.

Under this small section of the city wall alone, there are hundreds of slave armies!

The comrades around him spared no effort to throw stones and trees under the wall, but they only slowed down the speed of the slave soldiers rushing up the wall.

The slaves carried a ladder for every three of them, and they cleverly cut off a section so that the defenders could not reach out and knock it down!

Ran to the root of the city wall, put the ladder on the wall, and climbed to the top of the ladder one after another, fearless of life and death.

The person above will try not to let himself fall when he is hit by a stone, and use his body to block the boulder rolling wood dropped by the defenders.

The people below took advantage of this time to climb a few more steps.

Each time a slave soldier falls, the progress on this ladder increases by three steps.

In front of such a crowd tactic, the defenders are helpless even if they have three heads and six arms.

I could only watch as the slave soldiers on the ladder got closer and closer to the battlements.

Seeing that he was about to be attacked on the city wall, Sanji was stunned.

"Abandon the bow! Hold the blade! โ€

At the sound of an order, everyone stopped shooting arrows, threw the bow and crossbow in their hands aside, drew their swords, and guarded them by the battlements.

This is repeated, I don't know how long it took, Han Rui felt like he was playing something, a game of cutting fruit - the kind of VR heat!

His arms were extremely sore, his body had already been soaked with blood, and his face was only numb except for exhaustion, and he mechanically waved the blade in his hand.

In the distance, seeing that the Han army no longer shoots arrows, he is bald; Order: The whole army presses up and launches a general attack!

While releasing arrows to suppress firepower, the Hun knights, who stopped and waited for the opportunity, received the order, and galloped excitedly towards the city wall.

Han Rui felt that his hands were not his own, so he cut down a slave from the ladder, his hand stiffened, and the blade fell off the city wall.

His heart tightened, and he was about to turn around to find another weapon when a slave soldier leaned out of the wall and waved the wooden stick in his hand to hit Han Rui on the head.

Han Rui kicked the slave soldier in the chest and pushed it down.

The slave soldiers behind noticed it, as if they had smelled blood, and quickly rushed up the city wall, but in a few moments, two or three people were standing on the city wall!

The comrades around him were too busy defending their positions to help.

Just as the slave army was about to form a "stronghold" in the area guarded by Han Rui, a red shadow floated by, cutting the slave soldiers to the ground.

It is Luanbu who looks at the whole situation on the top of the corner tower.

"Use this!"

Handing the sword to Han Rui, Luan Bu returned to the corner tower and nervously watched the galloping Hun cavalry army.

ยท

"Damn! Almost succeeded! โ€

Bald Li could see clearly that only one of the soldiers had lost his blade, and the slaves almost took the opportunity to form a "stronghold" on the city wall.

During the siege, as long as a stronghold can be formed on the city wall, the ladder behind you can be covered, and the follow-up troops can climb the city wall one after another.

As the stronghold expands, the zone of control will be lost, and more breaches will appear in the walls, allowing attacking soldiers to climb onto the walls.

Under such a cycle, the city wall will be completely cleared and occupied by the attacker, and if the city wall is lost, the defender will be defeated!

Therefore, the first soldier to climb the city will be awarded the merit of "ascending first", glorifying his ancestors and soaring into the sky.

The merit of ascending first is even higher than that of capturing the flag, second only to the merit of opening up the territory and capturing the king!

Because, the moment the stronghold is formed, the defender can basically be declared defeated!

Although it is a pity, Bald is not too annoyed.

Slaves are consumables, and it is gratifying to have a windfall gain, but it doesn't matter if you don't have them.

can make the Han people have no energy to create long-range killing, and the goal is achieved.

"It's our turn!"

Bald said in his mouth, but his eyes never left the section of the city wall.

Licking his lips, he looked at the top of the corner tower: "Black armor and red robe, at least a general..."

The truth that the thief captures the king first is not profound.

And as an aristocrat, Bald no longer needs to pursue wealth and power.

What he needs is to prove his bravery!

On the grassland, there is no Han people's set of dignity and humility, everything relies on fists to speak!

A slave who can kill a Han soldier and prove his bravery can also become an admired warrior!

The Aries King is not young...

When he dies, according to the tradition of the steppe, the next Aries king will be produced among the tribal warriors.

Everyone competes fairly, whoever has a big fist and high force is the king of Aries!

There is nothing more than the head of a Han Dynasty general to prove his bravery...

In Bald's eyes, Luan Bu has become his own step to the Aries Throne!
