Chapter 104 The battlefield is the best glue

A rain of arrows rose from behind Yun Lang, also screeching across a graceful arc, and then swooped down from mid-air, like a bloodthirsty demon......

The Qiang army, which had been organized by hatred, immediately fell to the ground in one piece......

As the sharpest weapon of killing, the crossbow has never disappointed those who use it from the moment he was born.

The crossbow arrows that swooped down from the altitude with inertia were powerful and heavy, not something that a simple wooden shield could fight against, as long as the shield array composed of wooden shields had the slightest loophole, they would fiercely drill into it, first destroying a point, and then a large area, and finally covering everything.

Defense has never been the strong point of the steppe peoples, in fact, they are much better offensive......

As soon as the rain of arrows passed, the Hun cavalry that had been prepared for a long time roared in, and the one-horned ladders pruned by thick trees were carried by those vigorous cavalry, lined up in a dense formation, and rushed towards the city.

At the same time, the trebuchets at the head of the city were fully prepared, and when the Huns were about to throw the ladder in front of the city to turn back, the sky suddenly darkened, and thousands of pebbles the size of a human head fell all over the world.

It even looks cute when it's lying quietly by the river, but it's not cute at all when it's thrown into the air by a trebuchet, spinning, colliding and smashing overhead.

The wooden shield shattered instantly under the pouring of the pebbles, smashing the wooden shield, and by the way, the Qiang people behind the wooden shield were also smashed into pulp.

A war horse was about to neigh, its head suddenly disappeared, and a blood mist exploded on the spot, and the cavalry on the war horse, the upper half of the body had disappeared, leaving only two legs still hanging on the horse's back......

At this time, the pebbles were added kinetic energy by the trebuchet, and they were almost invincible under the action of gravitational acceleration of potential energy generated in mid-air.

The spine of the horse was broken, and the knight on the horse fell to the ground, and before he could get up, he was covered by a dead horse.

A rain of stone bullets completely turned the revenge of the Qiang people into endless fear, and no one had the courage to move forward, and the whole army broke up with a shout.

Before they could retreat to safety, the vicious Hun cavalry knocked them down with their horses, and then trampled over their bodies.

"Don't go back, attack, attack, pick up a ladder to attack......" The Hun general waved his knife to cut down a Qiang man, and shouted loudly to order the Qiang people to continue attacking!

The panicked Qiang people were like a swarm of headless flies, running around on the battlefield, but they were always driven back by the Hun cavalry one by one, and then shouted in despair and continued to attack the city.

The bolts began to dive, this time no longer with an aimless diffuse, but with precise sniping.

The wolf tooth arrows of the Qiang people fell on the armor of the armor, and they stumbled and fell to the ground, and only some clever Qiang people would pick up the crossbow arrows of the Han army from the ground and shoot them back.

It's a pity that with the power of the wooden bow in their hands, it is very problematic to drive such heavy feather arrows, a large part of which falls to the ground weakly halfway through, and the other part of the crossbow arrows breaks the bowstring due to gravity......

"My eyes ......"

When a Qiang man who had just climbed the ladder looked up, he found that a bottle had exploded, and then a large white powder broke out of the bottle, making his eyes feel like oil.

Before he could raise his hand to rub his eyes, a thick log was pushed down the city and quickly smashed down a one-legged ladder, smashing the Qiang man and his companions into the trench......

The trebuchet was still throwing stones into the sky, and the follow-up Qiang people were still disorganized, and the Huns mixed in the Qiang crowd shouted hoarsely: "Go, go, you won't be stoned when you go to the city!" ”

The Qiang people, who had gathered enough courage, cried out and forgot their fear of death, and rushed towards the city wall in waves with wah-wah.

Huo Qubing was like a majestic lion, pacing back and forth at the head of the city, even if he was surrounded by the feathered arrows of the Qiang or Huns, he was not afraid.

The iron shield in his hand waved lightly twice from time to time, and his iron shield was already full of feathered arrows, each of which was deeply nailed to the iron shield.

A fist-sized flying locust stone slammed into Huo Quai's iron shield with a muffled sound, and then he was surrounded by his own soldiers with huge shields.

Yun Lang, who was also surrounded by the giant shield of his own soldiers, was leisurely drinking tea, his eyes were not outside the city, but staring closely at the city.

Many Qiang people walked out of their homes and stood on the street in a daze, they no longer knew where to go.

"Are the ten Qiang people in the city dead?"

Yun Lang asked Liu Er.

Liu Er, who had just gone to see those people, said with a smile: "Two of them have been hit by more than ten arrows and have not yet lost their breath, so the old slave helped to stab the arrows deeper, and now they are all dead." ”

"Then bring down the corpses and tell these people that these ten warriors died in battle."

Liu Er agreed, and then led a team of soldiers to the city wall.

It didn't take much effort, and ten corpses were neatly placed in front of Yun Lang.

The Qiang people gradually surrounded him, and Yun Lang sighed and said, "All of them are arrows in the chest, they are real warriors!" ”

When a woman wanted to open her mouth and cry, she covered her mouth violently and wept silently.

Yun Lang said to the woman: "Your husband? ”

The woman nodded and shook her head.

Yun Lang then remembered that the concept of husband and wife had not yet been accepted by the Qiang people, and they were just living together now.

There is no fixed number of things that are always exchanged for each other.

"Then remember this man, he died to protect you from harm, in fact, every one of you should live with him."

Yun Lang was embarrassed.

"Will the Huns really kill us?"

Some earth-colored Qiang people asked.

"Then go to the city wall and see, these people may not have liked us Han people before, why would they fight to death?

It's because they found that if they don't fight, there is only one way to die! ”

"I want to check it out!" A brave Qiang man stood up, he was very suspicious of Yun Lang's words, and felt that he should not believe every word of what he said!

"Liu Er, put on armor for him, take good care of him, don't let him be killed by people outside the city again."

Yun Lang didn't say a word of explanation, so he let Liu Er take action.

There were three Qiang people who were willing to go up to the city wall together, and after putting on the armor of the Han army, they were ready to go to the city under the care of Liu Er.

Liu Er glanced at Yun Lang when he left, and when he saw that his master shook his head indifferently, he buckled his helmet on the head of a Qiang man and said, "This is safe!" ”

The battle at the head of the city has entered the white heat.

Forced by death to have lost their minds, brave the rain of arrows, stone bullets, in front of the city crazy forward, once a ladder is built, there are Qiang people with red eyes and saliva to climb up, and then by the stone or ash bottle, smashed down, some bad luck will be poured down by the hot gold juice, and then let out a scream that is not like a human being, covering his head and falling from a high place.

"Kill all the Han people, slaughter the city!" This was the earliest Qiang nickname, and as the war became more and more intense, the slogan was simplified to - slaughter the city!

The arrows at the head of the city are like locusts...... The Han army continued to work in the rain of arrows, and many movements did not need to go through the brain at all, and the body would automatically react.

The Han army fought bravely, even Li Kang, Zhao Ponu, and Xie Ning all threw themselves into battle, which is the disadvantage of a small number of people.

There are many tools to defend the city, especially the pebbles are piled up, just because the number of people is scarce, a soldier has to be responsible for defending a large area, which brings difficulty to defending the city.

The Qiang man was stunned to see the battle scene in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes, seeing that a Qiang man who had gone crazy with saliva was about to climb to the top of the city.

He actually lifted a stone and smashed it into the head of the same clansman.

The crazy Qiang man's head was smashed to pieces by the stone, and he weakly let go of his grip on the ladder and planted the city.

"Kill, kill, kill them all, they will kill us!" After the man stoned one of his companions to death, he explained to the other two Qiang people with a pale face.

The other two Qiang were also terrified, because another enemy was about to climb up in front of them.

They shouted, and they all lifted the stone and smashed it down!
