Outside the Yanmen Gate

There was a movement in the Xianbei camp, and then a group of Xianbei iron cavalry rushed out of the camp under the leadership of a Xiongnu general, exchanging with the Xianbei army that was originally guarding outside the Yanmen Pass.

"General Qin, the Xianbei army has moved!"

Qin Yan was discussing with Qin Zheng, Zhang Liao and others how to deal with the attack of the Hun army next, when suddenly Yang Zhi, the main general of the reinforcement army, hurriedly ran over and said.

"Let's go and have a look!" Qin Yan frowned when he heard this, and then thought about it and said to the other Wenchen generals.

"Yes, my lord (big brother)!" Zhang Liao and the others nodded slightly when they heard this!

Then Qin Yan took the two of them to the top of the Yanmen Pass, only to see that a famous Xianbei iron rider outside the pass was assembling, as if he was about to attack.

"Big brother, it seems that General Luo's guess may be wrong, that Xianbei is attacking now, and he shouldn't be conducting a night attack!" Qin Zheng looked at the Xianbei movement below, thought about it and said.

"That's not necessarily, Ah Zheng, you still have to learn more!" Qin Yan shook his head slightly when he heard this.

"The more they do this, the more likely it is that they will attack at night, and this is just a cover-up!" Luo Yi heard the words and continued

"Is that so?"

Zhang Liao on the side was young at the moment, he hadn't experienced much war, and he still had too little experience in the way of commandery, so he said thoughtfully after hearing the words of the two.

"They're coming!" At this moment, Qin Yan suddenly spoke!

"Archers prepare, wait until they are close to two hundred paces to start shooting!"

I saw a Xianbei army of about 2,000 people under the leadership of a Xianbei general attacking Yanmen Pass.

Since the identity of the Xiaoguo Army this time was a reinforcement sent by the imperial court, they brought not only combat effectiveness, but also some materials, such as arrows and other materials to defend the city.

I saw that the two thousand Xianbei soldiers had just approached the archer's shooting range, and suddenly one after another arrows fell from the Yanmen Gate, and more than 100 Xianbei soldiers died tragically under the first round of arrow rain in an instant.

The rain of arrows fell like raindrops in the Xianbei army like no money, and suddenly a large number of Xianbei soldiers were baptized by the rain of arrows and suffered heavy losses

By the time the 2,000 Xianbei soldiers braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the Yanmen Pass, they had been reduced to less than 1,000 people

After experiencing more than five rounds of arrow rain baptism, the less than 1,300 Hun soldiers finally came to the city wall of Yanmen Pass, looking at the five-meter-high city wall of Yanmen Pass, and raised a simple ladder one after another!

I saw that there were two hooks at one end of the ladder, and as the ladder was placed on the city wall, the two hooks were suddenly hung on the corners of the city wall.

In an instant, more than ten ladders were hung on the wall.

Then a Xiongnu soldier bit the weapon in his hand in a Xiongnu general, and climbed along the cloud ladder to the city wall of Yanmen Pass!

"Pour gold juice and boiling oil!"

Qi Gongshun looked at the Xianbei soldiers who began to climb, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel sneer.

Suddenly, a soldier of Yanmen Pass covered his mouth and nose, picked up a bucket of gold juice made from various stools from one side and poured down the cloud ladder.

"Ahhh

In an instant, the screams were endless, and I saw a tragic Xianbei soldier just subconsciously looking up, and was immediately poured directly on the golden juice that had just been boiled, and instantly a terrible scream came out of his mouth, and then fell from the top of the cloud ladder.

At the same time, several other ladders were also treated equally, and a Xiongnu soldier fell from the sky with a scream, and finally fell to the ground.

The Xianbei soldiers who were lucky fell to their deaths, and those who did not fall to their deaths were broken legs or arms and lay on the ground screaming.

The other Xianbei soldiers didn't care about them, and even some directly stepped on their bodies and climbed towards the ladder, and suddenly screams rang out from time to time.

Under the frenzied attack of the Yanmen Pass soldiers pouring gold juice and throwing rolling wood, the Xianbei soldiers, who were less than 1,000 people, lost more than half of their strength in less than ten minutes.

Suddenly, a horn sounded to collect the troops, and suddenly the Xianbei soldiers with less than five hundred people retreated one after another, but when they retreated, countless arrows rained down on the gate of the wild goose again, and suddenly another wave of losses.

Until the Xianbei soldiers completely withdrew from the attack range of the archers at Yanmen, there were less than 200 of the 2,000 soldiers left, and in less than half an hour, more than 1,800 people were sacrificed.

The Han army, which relied on the Yanmen Pass to defend it, only sacrificed less than 300 people, and the difference in damage between the two sides was basically five times.

……

"Second team!"

Xianbei General Qiu Xinggong looked at the Xianbei soldiers who were only less than two hundred people left, and a grim smile was hooked on the corner of his mouth, for these troops that did not belong to their forces, it was best to use them as cannon fodder to consume the troops and military supplies of Yanmen Pass.

Four more rounds of attacks followed, and after a total of more than 6,000 casualties, the Xianbei attack finally stopped.

At this point, the first wave of Xianbei's attack ended temporarily, ending the first day of attack after leaving behind more than six thousand corpses.

It's just that at the same time, the Xianbei generals who were already dissatisfied with Tan Shikui were angry at Qiu Xinggong's actions, but under the suppression of Tan Shikui, they could only endure it temporarily, but they left a point of hatred, leaving a foreshadowing for the subsequent rebellion.

……

The gate of the wild goose was closed

Qin Yan looked at the Xianbei army that had left a pile of corpses behind, revealing a faint smile

"Everyone, it seems that this Xianbei Hu Kou is not an iron plate!"

"That's right, my lord, they are clearly using these soldiers as cannon fodder to consume our army's military strength and reserves of military supplies." Liu Lancheng also said when he heard this.

"Fortunately, the reinforcements brought a lot of supplies when they came this time, otherwise after this consumption, the arrows and other materials for defending the city at my Yanmen Pass would have been consumed at least eight or nine times out of ten." Zhang Liao nodded slightly.

As one of the major generals in Yanmen Pass, he also knows more or less about the material reserves of Yanmen Pass, although he killed more than 6,000 Xianbei soldiers in one day today, but he also consumed a large amount of materials such as arrows, gold juice, and rolling wood.
