Chapter 366: Massacre
Guo Jia ordered the people to carry out the next move, and he stood on the head of the city, enjoying all this.
Hearing the screams of the Huns below, Guo Jia felt accomplished, and he also wanted to establish immortal feats when he was young, and then leave a name in history, and now his dream is being realized little by little.
Zhao Yun and the others firmly blocked the Huns who rushed up, in fact, it was relatively easy, because the bridge deck could only be passed by three people at the same time at most, and the space on the bridge was very limited by the Huns, and the combat power could not be exerted at all.
At this time, a whole line of soldiers in the back moved, and they had been standing there silently, watching all this.
They moved up more than a dozen meters, and then pulled their bows and arrows.
"Put."
A rain of arrows took shape in the darkness, and many of the Hun soldiers didn't even know what was happening.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Ahh
Another scream, one after another screams, made many Huns wake up, it turned out that they had not yet broken through this city, and the inside was blocked again.
Archers keep releasing arrows, in fact, they are not professional archers, many are still people, but it doesn't matter, as long as they can pull the bow and shoot the arrows.
The dense Huns, there was no need to aim at all, and they were crowded together, and there was no way to dodge if they wanted to, plus the cover of the night, the Huns suffered a large number of casualties.
Many of the Hun soldiers knew what was happening, but they still couldn't stop, and they were still pouring in at a long distance from the city gate.
The Han army's not a single round of arrow rain was a new round of slaughter, and the Hun cavalry was not strong at this time, they fell like leeks, stubble after stubble.
The Hun soldiers in the back had torches in their hands, and the situation in front was gradually discovered by them, and it was impossible not to find out, because the Huns had been emptied of a large area.
The Hun soldiers in the back lit the torches in front, many people's scalps were numb, the scene was so miserable, it was simply hell on earth, and the blood was about to flow to their feet.
Many Hun soldiers began to retreat, and even blocked the soldiers who were about to enter the city gate, and at this time the Huns outside also found that something was wrong, and some generals prevented the Huns from swarming in.
After the Xiongnu left the range of the Han army, they could finally take a good look at what was going on.
The Huns brought a large number of torches to illuminate the front, and when they saw the scene in front of them, many people turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat behind their backs.
There were a lot of corpses piled up on the ground, and they hadn't seen corpses before, and they had even killed people themselves, but they hadn't seen any dense corpses, as if they had been caught and slaughtered together.
In the firelight, the Han army on the opposite side looked extremely mysterious, it was them, it was they who slaughtered the Hun soldiers in front of them.
Many Hun soldiers were scared, they still can't figure out why these Hun soldiers were simply killed, they are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid of this unknown thing.
The firelight was swaying, and the scene was full of a strange atmosphere, and the Han army on the opposite side did not move at this time, which added a strange atmosphere.
In fact, the Han army on the opposite side was also stunned, the nervous attack just now, where did they have time to see how many people they had killed, and it was dark and they couldn't see clearly, at this time, when the fire shone on them, they found out that they had killed so many people.
The trench was almost filled, and it was full of corpses, half of the trench that was originally more than ten meters deep was filled, and it can be seen how many people were filled inside.
"This literati is really ruthless in killing." This is Zhao Yun's idea, don't look at Guo Jiawen's weakness, he is more ruthless than himself when he kills people, and he also has a good grasp of people's hearts, in short, he can kill people.
This strategy seems simple, but in fact, it is not simple to implement at all, there are many links in the middle, and it is impossible to achieve any link if there is a problem.
First of all, the time should be grasped just right, that is, it is almost dark and not all of it is dark, and when you enter the city, the sky is slowly dark, and because of this, the Huns in front of you will not light torches.
It can't be early or late, it's too early for the Huns to definitely find an ambush, and it's too late for the Huns to prepare torches and come in again, and the effect won't be very good at that time.
Second, it is the control of the rhythm, Guo Jia asked Zhao Yun to retreat little by little, and grasp the rhythm, that is, to gather the Xiongnu soldiers little by little, so that they can be close to each other.
This is very important, only by squeezing together, the Huns in front will lose control, and it is impossible to stop, and the Huns behind push the Huns behind to move forward.
Third, it is still time, but this time is not a moment of time, but through the accumulation of more than ten days, it has successfully aroused the emotions of the Huns, and ordinary soldiers fight for money and women, in order to be able to enter the city and plunder.
was blocked out of the city for more than ten days, once the city was broken, those ordinary soldiers could easily lose control, and they all wanted to hurry into the city to grab more things. Once this emotion broke out, then the scene was out of control, and then there was a scene of the Huns frantically pouring in, and because of this, the Huns in front of them were pushed into the abyss of death.
The Huns were killed by Guo Jia step by step, and Guo Jia took advantage of the hearts of the Huns, as well as the right time and place, to dig a big pit for them.
For example, why did the bridge break, it was very simple, when it was manufactured, part of it could only bear two or three people passing on it, so some of the Han soldiers passed through it with two or three people, and the Hun soldiers saw the Han army passing, and they also rushed up, but they were too many and did not control it, so they went on more than a dozen people, so many bridges were broken at once.
And some of the bridges were very solid, and the Han army passed through them, but these bridges became another death trap for the Xiongnu.
The bridge deck is not big, after the Huns got on the bridge, because there were people behind them, they could not retreat, they could only go forward, and there were Han troops in front of them, and they were able to attack the Han army at the same time only two or three people.
They all use scimitars, which may be useful on horseback, but here they suffer very much, the Han army stabbed straight through with long hair, they can't block, can't dodge, because the space is too small, it's dark, the gun comes quickly, and the body can't dodge, plus there are more than a dozen people standing opposite, then the end is only death, the difference is that you can jump off the trap and die, or you can let the enemy's spear stab through and die.
Several small bridges became meat grinders, constantly harvesting the lives of the Hun soldiers, and the Huns in the back kept pushing the Hun soldiers in front to the front, allowing the Han army to kill.
In the end, the archers who were lying in ambush in the rear came forward, many of them were people, but they were better than many people, and they only needed to draw bows and shoot arrows, as long as they were trained for a few days.
The Huns huddled together, as long as the arrows were shot over, the arrows could not be seen clearly in the dark, and the people could not disperse next to each other, they were the best targets, and they fell one by one.
