Chapter 359, night attack on Yanmen Pass
Since the death of the tyrannical Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai, Xianbei has become as chaotic as the Central Plains, the successor and Lian are incompetent, only know to have fun, arrogant and lascivious, not only have no ability to command Xianbei, and died early in the north, and after the death of Lian, Xianbei fell apart, no one of the large and small tribes obeyed anyone, competing for deer, and wanted to annex someone else's family.
Xianbei was in endless civil strife and was temporarily unable to invade the south, but several tribal heroes who could not be underestimated also emerged, one was Kirbineng, one was Suli, and the other was Budugen.
As for the Southern Xiongnu, they have already been surrendered by Zhao Yunping, so for the defenders of Yanmen Pass in Bingzhou, it has been a long time since foreign races have come to invade and harass, and this Xiongguan to defend against foreign races, like an old man who has nothing to do, seems to be dispensable.
The soldiers defending the city naturally also relaxed, and the soldiers gathered together in twos and threes, leaning against the female wall, pointing to the sky and drawing the earth, laughing and chatting, some simply squatted on the ground to sleep, and some squatted on the ground to make fists...... There was nothing to do, there was a lot of noise, there was talk and laughter, a hilarious scene.
As for the armor on their bodies, I don't know how long it has not been polished, it has long been rusted, and there is no light in sight, and the rolling wood and stones that were originally piled up on the city wall have long been gone, and everyone is afraid of occupying the place and getting in the way, so they have all been cleaned up, and the arrows have accumulated a lot, piled up on the ground indiscriminately, exposed to the wind and rain, and I don't know if it can continue to be used, and even the veterans can't remember how long this thing has been idle.
Originally, a lot of fire oil was prepared on the city wall, but because it was not used all year round, and no one took care of it, it was taken away and stolen by everyone.
In less than two watches, there was no movement on the city wall, and nine out of ten soldiers went to bed early, and only a few sentries barely leaned on the women's wall to kill time in boredom.
"Click......"
After a while, with the sound of the wind, a burst of sand rose in the distance, and a strange sound faintly sounded in the night sky.
No one paid attention to it at all, the eyelids of the sentries became heavier and heavier, and the wind and sand were too big, so they simply squatted down and shrank behind the female wall.
Yanmen Pass is adjacent to the outside of the Sai, the soldiers have long been accustomed to the wind and sand, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, the sand and dust are swept, the distance is gray, as the night is getting thicker and thicker, the vision is more and more hazy.
"Click-"
Under the cover of night, under the cover of wind and sand, on the ground not far away, a sentry suddenly flashed out, the number of no less than three or four thousand people, at the front of the team, there is a huge siege ladder, like a high wall, rubbing the ground and constantly pushing forward, getting closer and closer to Yanmen Pass, like a behemoth under the black curtain, striding forward all the way ruthlessly crushing.
Zhang Liao estimated the distance, waved his big hand, and the two hundred war horses that had been prepared for a long time moved forward quickly, each horse was connected to the giant ladder with a thick rope, and after everything was ready, the two hundred war horses were urged by the knights, and at the same time exerted their strength, dragging the giant ladder forward quickly, the speed was a lot faster, of course, the movement could no longer be hidden, rumbling, like the sky collapsing, accompanied by the sky-high dust, the sentinels guarding the pass suddenly alarmed a lot.
"What's that?"
The guards looked at the behemoth that appeared in the night, and they were all dumbfounded.
They have seen the ladder of the siege, but such a large giant ladder, but they have never seen it in their lives, four or five zhang high, more than ten zhang wide, surrounded by people before and after, the sound of killing is everywhere, no less than thousands of troops, things came too suddenly, the defenders only cared about being stunned, until the giant ladder came to the front, leaned on the city wall with a bang, and they came back to their senses.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack—"
There was a great chaos on the city wall, some ran around, some wore clothes randomly, and some hurried to find the blades, there was no military intelligence for such a long time, they also neglected to practice, and what to do seemed to have forgotten, some to the east, some to the west, crowded with each other, like a fried pot, the timid even kept slipping backwards, and even some people were careless, squeezed off the city wall by their own people, and the brains of the fall burst out, becoming a puddle of flesh.
Zhao Yun's side, without giving the enemy any chance, as soon as the cloud ladder was pasted on the city wall, Zhao Yun's spear was raised high, and he pointed angrily at the sky, "Kill-"
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun were all like wolves and tigers, and they quickly climbed the ladder with people.
The panicked defenders kept screaming and shouting, and when they saw the enemy swarming up, they climbed the ladder like a tide, and they were all frightened, and the guards were awakened by the fact that the two brothers were not properly dressed, and when they arrived at the city wall, they hurriedly ordered, "What are you doing in a daze, and if you don't give me arrows, where are the archers dead." ”
Rolling wood, stone, and oil, there is no shadow at all, and there is no hope for it, but there are a lot of arrows piled up.
The two Lei Leopard brothers shouted for a while, although the minds of many soldiers were a little more stable, but Lu Bu and these people ran all the way down the ladder, and they arrived at the city wall in the blink of an eye, Lu Bu turned over and jumped, and before his feet landed, Fang Tian's halberd swept out, and the sound of crying dad and shouting for his mother sounded in an instant, and several enemy soldiers in a company all fell to the ground, and the halberd head of Fang Tian's halberd was dripping down with blood, and there was also half of the intestine hanging on it, swaying, shaking with the wind, which was extremely terrifying.
Lu Bu glanced around disdainfully, with a force of both hands, the halberd swept across the waist, accompanied by the whistling strange wind, and instantly fell down a large piece, Lu Bu walked like a flock of sheep, dancing Fang Tian's halberd, and stirred up the enemy soldiers, and the casualties were unbearable.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Guan Hai, and He Man are also the tiger generals of the three armies, all of them are vying for the lead, everyone is brave, and the defenders of Yanmen Pass have no time to fight back, so they were killed by Zhao Yun's men and horses, and a large number of people were killed and wounded.
The unmotivated defenders were stunned by the sudden wave of death, and many of the soldiers fell to the ground before they could raise their blades, and they let out a terrible scream before they fell to the ground, shaking the hearts of their comrades and making the atmosphere of terror even more violent.
The female wall at the head of the city was dyed with layers of blood in the blink of an eye, and the blood flowed down the city wall like a stream, and the Han army was steaming with blood, all of them were red-eyed, and they danced wildly with swords and guns, like a mountain and sea, like a ruthless torrent, and in the blink of an eye, they completely swallowed up a plate of scattered sand Yanmen.
"Not good."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lei Leopard turned around and wanted to leave, Zhang Liao rushed to the front with a brisk step, jumped up, and slashed down with a knife.
Burst...... With a bang, the head of the thunder leopard suddenly flew into the air, and flew out of more than ten meters before falling far down the city wall.
Lei Hu also quickly followed in the footsteps of his brothers, and was poked to death on the city wall with a steel fork by He Man.
