Chapter 107: Assault (2)
Chapter 107: Assault (2)
It takes a total of 2,377 steps to walk from the west to the east! Because of habit, it takes an extra step to go from the east to the west.
This is the length of the front wall, Yun Lang has measured it three times.
After walking a little tired, he came to the arrow tower in the middle, and sat on the threshold to look at the Hun camp three miles away.
The Xiongnu closest to the city were a mile away, and a hundred and ten Huns were forming a large circle to barbecue and eat.
The wind blew from the Huns, bringing with them the noise, which made Yun Lang feel a little relieved, at least, the Huns didn't seem to have discovered Huo Qu's illness yet.
When Xie Ning passed by the arrow tower, he saw Yun Lang sitting there, so he sat next to Yun Lang and looked at the Hun camp in a daze.
"Is the carriage ready?"
Even Yun Lang himself could hear the apprehension in his words.
"Ready, a hundred wagons, each towed by two horses, and two hundred ox carts......"
"How's the transfer of wounded soldiers?"
"Su Zhi is doing a good job, he has already crossed the river in a sheepskin boat."
"That means we're out of worries, aren't we?"
"Guo Jiejie should defend the city until the last moment before crossing the river......"
"You can't expect much from him, but I hope he can do it."
"Alang, why don't you think about our return to the city?"
"If we really attack, it means that the situation is already terrible, and there are only two results at this time, one is that our whole army is killed, and the other is to defeat the Huns, no matter which one it is, we don't have to think about returning to the city."
Xie Ning looked up at the sky, the night was as cool as water, the stars were dotted, and the moon still hadn't come out.
Xie Ning's body trembled a little, and Yun Lang knew that this was not due to fear, but to nervousness.
When Huo Qu was sick and went on the expedition, he didn't expect to get Yun Lang's help, and Yun Lang thought that he could be prepared with a little more preparation.
The military order for the sneak attack was issued by Huo Qubing in the name of the general, and Yun Lang could not refute it.
The military order to support was issued by Yun Lang in the name of the military Sima after Huo Qubing left, and Huo Qubing wanted to oppose it, but he couldn't do it.
This is a serious military adventure, and the risks are as great as the gains......
Since the end of the Warring States period, there have been no genius generals on the battlefield, and there is no longer such a thing as turning the tide of the tide with the power of one person and supporting the building to the topp.
As a major war stalemate gets longer and longer, weapons become more and more advanced, and the war is already a national strength, a collective strength, without the support of strong national strength, even if it is a world-famous general, there is no way to quickly win a war.
War has always been a process in which the strong bully the weak.
The strong can naturally wait for work and finally win with strength, while the weak can only stand out if they want to turn the tables.
Sneak attacks are generally the choice of the weak, not the first choice of the strong.
If you succeed, everything will be fine, and if you fail, you will lose your teacher and humiliate the country, and there is no third possibility.
In the face of big things, you must be calm.
So Yun Lang forced himself to sleep for a while......
I don't know how long I slept, Yun Lang woke up with an exclamation, sweat soaked his clothes, and the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water.
Fortunately, Xie Ning has already left, if he is allowed to see Yun Lang's appearance at this time......
found a basin of water, washed his face fiercely, the sweat stains on his body were sticky and very uncomfortable, so he simply asked Liu Er to bring some water and poured it on his head, so that after five or six times, the beating heart slowly calmed down.
"How many days?"
"Three more and two o'clock!"
Yun Lang nodded, changed into clothes, put on his armor, and came to the arrow tower again, looking down on the Hun camp.
It was still quiet, the starry bonfires were gradually becoming scarce, and the Hun scouts who were roasting and eating meat a mile away also stopped making noise at this time, and slept soundly in their leather jackets.
The waning moon rises from behind the top of the mountain, and since it is the last quarter moon, the light is not as bright as it is during the full moon.
This is time for Huo Qubing to make a move, and there is still no movement from the Huns.
There are four more days before the New Year's Day, when the moon does not hang in the sky for long, and at most five days, the moon will set, and at that time, it will be the darkest time on earth.
The lion fights the rabbit and also has to go all out, but this time, Huo Qubing did not do so, he chose to rely on the strength of a thousand people to shake the Hun camp.
Guo Xie came to Yun Lang's side for some reason, and he didn't know how long he had been standing in the dark.
"This time I'm no longer cowardly......"
"It's up to you, when this thing is coming, it's not like you can stay if you want to."
"Cao Hou knocked himself unconscious......"
"You can't use this hand, the remaining remnants of the army still need you to take them back to Beijing."
"Sima, do we have to attack? It's not bad to defend, we have the ability to kill all the Huns in the city! ”
"Some people don't like it, he prefers to defeat the enemy like a dead and decaying one rather than losing both, and he has this confidence!"
"Sima is also full of confidence in him, isn't he?"
"Yes, I never doubted his decision-making, he was born to be an invincible general, and Qingshi will leave his name."
Guo Xie sighed and said, "I can't even compare to Sima Qian, a weak person. ”
Yun Lang paused for a moment and immediately said, "He didn't cross the river?" ”
Guo Xie shook his head and said: "He got an ox cart by himself, found a suit of armor and weapons, and said that he would take a chariot to kill slaves!" ”
"Nonsense!"
Guo Xie shook his head and said: "He didn't mess around, he tied himself to the ox cart with a rope, and I wanted to untie him, so he stabbed me with a spear."
He also said that those who have the opportunity to go into battle to kill slaves and retreat are inhuman! ”
Yun Lang was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a burst of fire in the Hun camp in the dark, and then, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder sounded in the distance, and a living dragon suddenly appeared in the dark night, and went straight into the Hun camp.
Xie Ning ran over and said silently: "It's started!" ”
Yun Lang walked down from the arrow tower and hugged Guo Xie hard: "I really hope to share my courage with you, but I'm leaving, look at my home, I'll go back!" ”
"Sima, I'll wait for you to ......" Guo Xie couldn't cry.
Yun Lang waved his hand and laughed and went down the city tower.
Yun's carriage has always been known for its sturdiness, and the same is true of the one Yun Lang sits, when the four-wheeled carriage is added with a high baffle, it naturally becomes a chariot.
Stepping on the protruding sharp axle, Yun Lang got into the carriage, Liu Er struggled to pull the axle outward, and a sharp reamer appeared on the axle, as the wheel rotated, once the reamer began to rotate, it was an insidious killing weapon.
When the city gate was fully opened, Yun Lang took a long breath and said loudly, "Follow me!" ”
Liu Er shook the reins of the horse, and the chariot rumbled out of the stone road and rushed into the boundless darkness.
One mile away, under the full gallop of the horse, it only took a few breaths to come to the Huns.
At this time, because of Huo Quai's attack, the Hun scouts had already realized that something was wrong, and they sat on their horses one by one and hesitated, not knowing whether they should return to the camp or continue to monitor the surrendered city.
After Yun Lang's chariot appeared from the darkness with a spark, these Hun cavalry howled and pounced fiercely at Yun Lang.
The two armor soldiers standing beside Yun Lang pulled the crossbow machine, but they didn't know where they flew there because of the bumps in the chariot.
Fortunately, Xie Ning, who was behind the Yunlang chariot, accurately sent a crossbow arrow into the chest of the leader of the Hun cavalry.
Seeing the scimitar of the Huns slashing over, Yun Lang was able to raise his spear and prepare to resist, but the Hun man fell to the ground with a bang, the front legs of his war horse had been shattered by the reamer of the front wheel, the copper knife lost its accuracy, and slashed on the guardrail, making a creaking sound, the body of the Hun was rotated by the reamer and split in two from the middle, and a slip of blood fell on Yun Lang's armor, which was surprisingly fishy!
A hundred chariots in the shape of a fan and more than a hundred cavalry meet, this is the sorrow of the cavalry, the chariot this powerful killing machine that has appeared since the beginning of the war, even if it has been eliminated by the cavalry, now, in this flat grassland, the chariot exerted his strong combat power.
