Chapter 43: Contempt from the Han Army
Horse City.
The former county government has now become the temporary royal court of Helian, and the original solemn public court is now filled with an obscene atmosphere.
"Captain Hu Wuhuan?" He Lian kneaded the softness in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "What about Kuitou and Budugen?" Aren't they brave when they are ordered to go into battle? Let me see their prowess. ”
"None of the scouts we sent out to the city have returned, king." The subordinate swallowed his saliva, his greedy eyes stared at the numb woman in Helian's arms, and his voice changed a little.
"Then send more, is it possible that the captain of Wuhuan is a wolf god, and he can see things clearly at night?" And even the dissatisfaction of the road.
"Sent, the subordinates have sent almost all the sentries in the city, but no one has come back so far, and the subordinates feel that something is wrong, so they came to report to the king." The subordinates hurriedly bowed and said.
"Maybe it's too dark at night, and the Han people have calculated it, if it is clear today, continue to send people to inform, this leader and Budugen are really getting more and more presumptuous, don't they see those Han people?" Helian said dissatisfiedly.
"It's been sent, but not long after our people left the city, they fell for some reason and were shot by the Han archers guarding around!" The subordinate smiled bitterly.
"Is there such a thing?" He Lian was slightly stunned, pushed the woman in his arms away and stood up, frowned, and said, "Wait for me to take a look." ”
It was already three poles in the sun, and Lian's footsteps were a little vain, not only him, but also a group of warriors behind him were also weak, just walking on the city head was a little short of breath, and Lian shook his head a little dizzy and held on to the female wall to look out, the Beijing official who was piled up with human heads, was already worried at the moment, a large number of mosquitoes surrounded him, and he had a nausean urge to stand on the city wall.
He Lian frowned, this horse city can be robbed almost can, and it is time to go, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that there will be a plague.
"Is that the only one? Out of town! I want to see, what are the skills of this Han people? Looking at the Han army that had already set up a formation in the distance, He Lian sneered, although the other party's formation was rigorous, the number of people was only about 3,000 at most.
"Yes!" One of the leaders answered, signaling the trumpeter to blow the trumpet.
Woo ~ woo woo ~ woo ~ The desolate sound of the horn carried a special rhythm, the gate of Macheng opened, and a group of cavalry galloped out on horseback, and launched a charge towards the Han army on the opposite side, although it was not expected to win, but this thousand-man team could at least impact the opponent's formation, and at the same time see if there was an ambush of the Han army.
"Boom~"
It's just that before the scene in Helian's mind appeared, the cavalry that had just left the city fell in pieces, and the cavalry in the front row fell to the ground, followed by a chain reaction, falling to the ground in pieces, as if there was an invisible stumbling rope on the ground.
"Shoot the arrows!" In front of the Han army, Ding Li waved the order flag in his hand with an expressionless face.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The three thousand Han soldiers were divided into three rows, taking turns to release arrows, rows of arrows broke through the air, although they were not dense, but they continued to pour down, the Xianbei soldiers who were lucky not to die were constantly deprived of their lives in the rain of arrows, the red blood stained the ground, less than a quarter of an hour's effort, except for a small number of soldiers who escaped by luck, and the five hundred knights who sent out the city were all wiped out.
"What the hell is going on!?" He Lian only felt a tingling in his spine, and a stream of cold air continued to rise up his spine, looked around left and right, and said incredibly: "These Han people, do they really know how to demons!?" ”
No one could answer his question, because he didn't go down to the city to investigate, and standing on the city wall, it was difficult to notice the fist-sized traps on the ground, and even if he did, he couldn't imagine that the brave and warlike Xianbei warriors had fallen into this inconspicuous pit.
"Enter!"
Ding Li waved the flag violently, and the Han army began to advance towards the city wall in a neat formation, and the cold arrow clusters relied on the advantage of the range, constantly falling towards the city, and the Xianbei warriors fought back angrily, but they suffered from the range of the bow and arrows not as good as the opponent, so they could only watch the other party continue to advance, and harvest the corpses of the Xianbei warriors in the city with the arrow clusters in their hands.
"Stop!"
As the army continued to advance, before entering the range of the Xianbei people, Ding Li suddenly waved his hand, at this moment, the soldiers in the front row were about a hundred steps away from the city wall, and there were already occasional clusters of Xianbei people's arrows that could be shot into the army and cause damage to the Han army.
"Shield!"
With Ding Li's shout, a row of shieldmen appeared in front of him, blocking the dense rain of arrows of the Xianbei people, just when He Lian thought that these Han people were preparing to attack, and were ready to give up the advantage of the city wall and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Han people, but saw a team of Han soldiers appear, and did not attack as expected, but began to mark along the range of the Xianbei people.
"What are they doing?" He Lian looked left and right puzzled, but no one could answer his words.
Soon, a long ravine was dug out by the Han army, forming an untidy straight line in front of the city wall.
Ding Li came to the front of the battle, opened his voice and shouted: "Listen to the Xianbei people in the city, from today on, stay in the city obediently for Lao Tzu to die, and whoever crosses this line will ...... Kill! ”
As Ding Li's word kill fell, the three thousand soldiers behind him took a step forward at the same time, shouting in unison: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
The voices of three thousand people converged together and rushed straight to Xiao Han, the fierce murderous aura, even from afar made many Xianbei people tremble, these Han soldiers in front of them and the Han soldiers who were cleaned up by them when the city was broken before, are fundamentally two concepts, just these three killing words shouted, it made many Xianbei warriors' legs weak, and the murderous aura made these self-proclaimed brave Xianbei warriors feel cold in their hearts, and in the face of an enemy whose strength was obviously inferior to their own, they actually had a feeling of wanting to surrender.
"Retreat!" Ding Li didn't pay attention to the reaction of the Xianbei soldiers at the head of the city, and with a wave of his hand, the three thousand Han soldiers began to retreat in a neat formation, not worrying at all about whether the Xianbei people would go out of the city and kill from behind, and generously left the back to these Xianbei people.
This is no longer contempt, it is simply contempt!
He Lian looked at the arrogant appearance of the Han army, clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned pale because of the force, and the eyes of the Xianbei generals couldn't help but focus on He Lian, forming a great pressure.
He Lian stared at the direction of the Han army's retreat, opened his mouth, and finally sat down on the city wall, the strange scene before lingered in his heart like a nightmare, at this moment, even in the face of the naked contempt of the Han army, he could not give birth to the courage to order an attack, he could only watch the Han army on the opposite side swagger like this, as if no one was around.
