Chapter 370: Out of the Pass to Meet the Enemy, the Battle Rages (22)
"Young man has a good body!"
Many high-ranking generals who watched the battle in Dingxi Guancheng Tower saw Ji Xuan perform the trick of "stepping on a horse and flying swallow to climb the ladder", leaping over 100 meters and jumping over dozens of zhang high, and applauded and praised Ji Xuan's good powers.
As for those ordinary soldiers, they cheered even more, shouting to the sky, and their morale was greatly boosted.
This kind of worldly method, such a high degree of tacit cooperation, they sigh to themselves. They all think that with the help of this peerless master on their side, where is there any reason that they can't destroy the Huns?
War needs heroes, and war needs faith.
At this moment, Ji Xuan became a figure in the limelight, a hero of the world, a supreme legend, and a supreme faith. Tens of thousands of defenders of Dingxi Guancheng Tower have worshiped and admired.
Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!
Liu Zhi, who was in charge of the overall situation in the Dingxi Guancheng Tower, saw that Ji Xuan had successfully entered the Guannei in a millimeter, and he was also overjoyed, and his heart was extremely happy.
Later, when he saw that there were many Hun armies attacking the city under the tower, he suppressed the joy in his heart and shouted loudly.
But it was clear that the defenders at the moment still needed him to give orders.
Just when the Xiongnu army set up the siege ladder, the defenders shot arrows and feathers one after another.
Suddenly, the dense arrow feathers were like a downpour, covering the Hun army.
"Ahh
Hundreds of thousands, millions of arrows were shot together, like locusts crossing the border, constantly reaping the lives of Xiongnu soldiers.
"Resist, hold on!"
The Xiongnu commander Tie Mupei saw that his soldiers were killed and wounded countless times, his eyes were red, he raised his sword, gave orders, and organized a team of men and horses to continue to attack the city.
In a moment, the surviving Hun soldiers, under his command, began a new round of orderly assault.
This time, the Hun soldiers in charge of defense rushed to the front with their shields held high, and the soldiers who carried the ladder followed.
At the moment, these Hun soldiers who carried the ladder relied on someone to resist the arrow feathers for themselves, and their courage increased a lot, and they were arrogant and unafraid of death.
Bell, bell...
The arrows shot by the soldiers defending the city of the Han Dynasty were bounced off one after another under the resistance of the shields, making an earth-shattering sound.
Then the Xiongnu siege soldiers took advantage of this gap to erect the ladder in their hands, hung the city wall upside down, and began to climb.
"Pour the oil pan, quick... Quickly pour the pan down and scald them. ”
"Stone, quick, quick, drop the stone, smash them to death."
"Torches, quick, light torches, shoot rockets, burn them..."
Liu Zhi and many high-ranking generals shouted at each other, and methodically commanded the defenders to defend the city and resist the onslaught of the Xiongnu army.
At the moment, the Xiongnu army, under the command of Prisoner Niu and Tie Mupei and others, was charging wave after wave. Under the leadership of Liu Zhi and other commanders, the defenders of Xiguan carried out strict defense, constantly shooting arrows and feathers, smashing out wild stones, and pouring hot oil to harvest the lives of the Xiongnu siege soldiers.
In less than thirty minutes, the Xiongnu siege soldiers had lost five or six thousand, and rows of corpses fell under the city.
Their blood stained the earth red, and their screams spread through the nine heavens, making it unbearable to see or hear.
For the generals who are besieging the city, as long as they can break through the opponent's city, it is worth the number of people who die.
And forcibly besiege the city, where are there still immortals.
Therefore, although the prisoners of Niu, Tie Mupei and others were heartbroken and their soldiers died, they still did not stop attacking.
Especially the prisoner cow and the negative man who lost his right ear, they were already angry in their hearts, and they hated Ji Yun and the others.
One of them was teased by Ji Shuang, and the other had his ears cut off, which was simply intolerable for them.
Of course, although the Xiongnu siege soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, the Han defenders also lost a lot, they were crushed to death by the Xiongnu's catapults, and were shot to death by the Xiongnu masters with arrow feathers.
Human life is cheaper than grass, and life is thinner than paper, but this sentence has been best interpreted at this moment.
The massive siege began.
The Xiongnu side wanted to take revenge, while the defending side wanted to maintain the previous victories, stabilize the morale and morale of the army, and fight to the death.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides had been going on for more than an hour.
Liu Zhi was condescending, looking at the plain in front of the city, judging the situation and thinking about a plan to retreat from the enemy.
Bang!
Suddenly, as he looked out, there was a sudden roar and hissing from the far side of the sky.
The voices were so jumbled that they had no clue. The earth shook in the midst of all these chaotic noises, and the sky was covered with dust.
It didn't take long for Liu Zhi to see a dense crowd of ant-like human heads appear in front of him.
These heads were surging, and the black pressure was overwhelming.
"That's"
Wang Xian'an, the representative of the Wang family, the chief general of Xuzhou, was shocked when he saw this situation, "Could it be that the Hun army is pouring out?" ”
"Judging by this situation, they should have gone out of the nest." The head of the Wei family, Wei Xianming's face was solemn to the extreme, "Looking at this momentum, the Xiongnu Shan plans to break through Dingxi Pass in one fell swoop." ”
"It doesn't matter, we'll kill as many people as they come." Huo Changhai sneered: "The defense of Dingxi Pass is like an iron wall, no matter how many Xiongnu troops come, it will be difficult for them to shake our fortress defense." ”
"Yes, the defensive strength of Dingxi Pass can indeed block their impact." Zhuge Ming, the commander of Liangzhou, said: "Previously, they had been harassing with catapults from a distance, resulting in a lot of casualties among our defenders. Now that they have forcibly shaken him, we will do as they want to kill him and turn the world upside down. I'd like to see how many lives the Huns intend to use to fill it. ”
Liu Zhi shook his head and said, "Having said that, we can't be careless. The Xiongnu were powerful and well-armed. If we were alone, we wouldn't be able to hold on. And we didn't make all the preparations in advance, and there was a great shortage of arrows, feathers, bows, crossbows, etc.
General Zhao Gang, you can quickly go and ask Xiang Fei, the chief general of Liaoning, to lead his troops to come to help. This time, the Hun army poured out of the nest, and they had to ask their Liaoning army to help. ”
"Yes, I want to ask them to help defend the city." Chen Gong, the commander of the Yongzhou Coalition Army, said: "The weapons of those people under Wang Mang's subordinates are all extremely sophisticated, far more than ten times stronger than the combat effectiveness of the army under our command. And I also heard that they have newly developed a flying duck that shoots ten arrows in a row, and it is extremely penetrating. If they had helped us defend the city, we would have been much less stressed. ”
"Yes, General Liu, I'm going to ask Xiang Fei to lead the troops to come and help defend the city!" Zhao Gang knew that the matter was urgent and could not be delayed. He turned around and went down the tower and ran towards the place where the Liaoning army was stationed.
However, as soon as he stepped down from the tower, there was a burst of loud laughter.
"Hahaha, hahaha, General Liu Zhi, generals, the Huns are only about the dispatch, we already know. Therefore, I don't need you to ask for it, I have already led my 100,000 troops from Liaoning. ”
While speaking, I saw a middle-aged burly man walking up the city tower and coming to Ji Yun.
This person is Xiang Fei, the supreme commander of the Liaoning army, after he came to the city tower, he first greeted Liu Zhi and many other coalition generals, and then took out a letter and handed it to Ji Yun, "Ji Shao, this is a letter from my family, let me forward it to you, you can take a look." ”
