954 Persecution

The dust is flying, the horses' hooves are rolling, and the earth is shaking violently!

Outside the city gate, the sun is covered with flags, and the black crowd is not visible at a glance!

"Woo~~~"

"Woo~~~"

The low sound of the trumpet sounded in this desolate land, and it was so shocking in the silent night sky, and it should be in harmony with the roar of ten thousand horses!

The roaring sound finally woke everyone up, and the entire Wuyuan County was already in chaos!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"Quick! Get ready for battle! ”

"Enemy Attack !!"

"Woo woo~~~~"

With a frightened exclamation from the defenders, the city walls immediately sounded a rapid horn, and all the soldiers defending the city immediately became nervous.

Hun night attack!

Such astonishing news suddenly woke up all the sleepy soldiers on the city wall.

All of a sudden, the torches on the city wall instantly lit like a long dragon.

Even in the hazy night, the people on the city wall could barely see the situation below.

All of a sudden, under the city wall, it was like the roar of ten thousand horses, and the violent sound seemed to make the earth tremble, countless war horses galloped wildly, the yellow sand was permeated, and the powerful momentum made people tremble!

There is no doubt that the Xiongnu's attack this time has undoubtedly made a lot of effort.

This huge cavalry corps always maintains a certain formation, and is rapidly approaching Wuyuan County.

At this moment, every Han soldier on the city wall could vaguely feel that a powerful momentum was coming, and they were breathless!

The hand of the captain in charge of guarding the city pass town was holding down the city wall even more tightly at this time, and his face was very ugly, because he was too hard, and the green tendons on his neck were shaking!

Everything happened so suddenly, they were completely unprepared, but they could only hold on no matter what!

The Huns' attack was still so sharp and violent, and the rolled yellow sand filled the entire sky, like a storm in the wilderness, with the power to destroy everything!

Cavalry is a well-deserved king in the era of cold weapons, and has the power to decide the battlefield!

A large-scale cavalry charge can crush everything, even in the face of an enemy several times their size, they can be cut down like vegetables!

In the field, the cavalry will be one-sided in the face of the infantry.

But this time, the Hun army was facing a city, and it was impossible to raid the tribes as fiercely!

The greatest advantage of the cavalry is mobility, suddenness, and the greatest advantage of the cavalry corps is brutality and destruction!

But from ancient times to the present, the city has been the biggest enemy of the cavalry, and attacking the city with cavalry will be the stupidest choice!

Wuyuan County, no matter how you make it up, 10,000 soldiers can still gather, these people rely on the city wall to defend Wuyuan County, that is really more than enough, even in the face of the siege of 100,000 Hun cavalry, they can hold on for a while!

However, in this regard, Jebegen naturally has his own thoughts.

To deal with the Han Chinese, they Huns, they can adopt roundabout tactics, bypass the Great Wall, loot villages and towns near the border, and run away after grabbing.

Moreover, in hundreds of years, they Huns also learned the big log stone throwing machine and fire oil, that is, to storm, using bows and arrows to crush the enemy on the upper floor, and break open the city gate and rush into the city with a large army.

Jebegen drew his sword, turned to look back, and roared: "The Chinese army is in position!" The two wings are divided and rounded, and the running section is shot! ”

In an instant, the low sound of the horn sounded again in this desolate land, so desolate and tragic in this cold wind!

At the sound of this trumpet, every soldier knew what they had ordered!

The next moment, the front army headquarters was in a roar, and they spread out towards the sides of the army, exposing the Chinese army to the defenders of Wuyuan!

The Chinese army moved forward in an instant, and the difference was that the Chinese soldiers all held a huge bow and crossbow in their hands!

These are all the family backgrounds of the Huns!

Beginning with Jebegen's black horsemen, they rode on their horses and quickly approached the city, protecting both sides with the left and right armies to prevent the Han people in Wuyuan City from suddenly attacking!

The whole action was swift and sharp, which was honed by countless wars, and in the midst of wars, military orders were like mountains!

On Wuyuan City, in this low and shocking sound of horns, the captain defending the city looked at the change of formation of the Hun army, and his face also became more and more solemn!

It's really the posture of the Huns is too terrible, it makes people feel like they are being targeted by a fierce beast, they are stiff and can't move!

It is true that nomads are not good at fortifications.

But that doesn't mean they won't fight. If the Great Wall has too few defenders, it is impossible to defend against an army that is several times larger than the defenders.

And as long as it is broken once, the Huns will definitely try their best to destroy the wall of the Han people, so as to provide the possibility for his future invasion.

It can suddenly form a siege on individual cities of the enemy in a short period of time, and the opponent who is on the defensive can only divide his troops to garrison each city, so that the Huns can always concentrate their absolute superior forces to break them one by one.

If it encounters a situation such as a fortified city, where the terrain is dangerous and the superior forces are difficult to deploy, the Xiongnu army is often at a loss.

It can be seen that tactically, the Xiongnu army could not directly rely on cavalry to attack the city, but strategically speaking, the Xiongnu army succeeded in attacking the city, or indirectly relied on cavalry.

And they often used prisoners of war and slaves as cannon fodder, forcing them to fill in the moats and tear down the walls.

In addition, the Han border army can only protect itself by defending the city, but it cannot achieve the primary task of protecting the territory and the people.

During the Han Dynasty, the first task of the government to set up a border army was to prevent the Xiongnu from driving straight south to invade the hinterland of the country and protect the territory and the people.

Therefore, the border guards must assume the responsibility of resisting the attack of the Xiongnu, if they are worried about their own losses, shrink to defend the city, and sit back and watch the Xiongnu army burn, kill and loot, the regime will lose the significance of setting up border guards.

Blindly fearing war also undermines the dignity of soldiers, the authority of the commander-in-chief of the border gates, and their aspiration to make meritorious contributions.

The defender is passive, and the beaten side can only be on the defensive. After a long siege, the army and citizens in the city were under great psychological pressure, and the longer it lasted, the more worried they were about the terrible consequences after being breached.

Therefore, the defenders of the city are under great psychological pressure, and the generals who defend the city will worry that the people below will sacrifice themselves to the besieging enemy and mutiny and surrender.

Because the ancient city was a material distribution center, a large number of production and life were carried out outside the city, and the Hun cavalry would not greet each other in advance every time they came, so the soldiers and civilians in the border areas suffered heavy losses every time.

In addition, the practice of strong walls and clear fields is the thinking of the weak, which is a passive choice to resist. In the long run, it will inevitably make the Huns empty of everything and make the Han people depressed.

The national character is the national character, and if the people are depressed, then it will be difficult for the country to raise its head.
