Chapter 365: Trap
"Haha, kill me."
"Money and beauty are right in front of you, take this city, and you will have everything."
After the city gate cave, many Huns shouted excitedly, they came from the grassland, sneaked all the way, and arrived at Xuansu County, which was their first battle to attack the city.
But this first battle was not good at all, they had not enjoyed the pleasure of plundering until now, but tonight it was about to be realized, and the city that had held them back for more than ten days was about to be breached by them.
Zhao Yun retreated little by little, and then the Huns gathered more and more.
Finding that it was almost over, Zhao Yun began to command the troops to retreat, this time retreating relatively quickly, and completely exited the city gate hole, and then retreated to the side.
The Han army spread out on their faces, and behind them were pontoon bridges, all made of wooden planks, and stretched across the trenches.
Yes, at the beginning, Ye Chen ordered to dig two trenches, one outside the city and one inside the city, because there is still a long way to go between the inner city and the outer city, and this distance can completely dig another trench, and it is the use of the original moat, and the amount of work is much less.
Seeing the Hun soldiers of the brigade pouring in, Zhao Yun responded calmly, retreated while fighting, and soon retreated to the side of the bridge.
Zhao Yun let some people go to the bridge first, and he blocked it for a while, there were many bridges, one next to the other, and there were Han troops retreating on each bridge, but if someone looked closely, they would find that some bridges were only passed by one or two people, while some bridges were passed by large groups of people.
These Hun soldiers were huddled together, and more Hun soldiers poured in from the city gate, they thought the city was broken, and they were rushing to come in and rob the city.
Guo Jia sneered at the head of the inner city, the development of the situation was not beyond his control, it was he who planned all this, and when he saw the Hun soldiers rushing in excitedly, he knew that the matter was more than half successful.
Guo Jia waved his hand and asked people to go down and prepare.
Guo Jia let everyone in the city not light torches, as it gets dark, the inner city is completely dark, the trench is only ten meters long, and there are no torches more than ten meters away, the situation on the other side, the Huns don't know much, plus the Huns' emotions are ignited today, all of them are extremely excited, so there are not many people's ideas, even if someone notices, it can't play much role in this surging crowd.
"Withdraw, withdraw."
Zhao Yun saw that the time had come, killed several enemies in front of him, and shouted, and the soldiers of the escort battalion behind him quickly retreated, and he also retreated.
Seeing the Han army retreating, the Xiongnu became excited again, brandishing a scimitar in their hands and shouting slogans in their mouths, and rushed forward.
It seems that the speed is slow, and when you enter the city, the treasures and beauties will be snatched away, and they scramble one by one.
At this time, the Xiongnu generals had lost control over them, and without restraint, they all fantasized that there was a lot of money and beautiful women in the city, and they rushed forward no matter what the environment was in front of them.
When Zhao Yun arrived on the opposite bank, he immediately began to arrange, but this arrangement was a little strange, because they only arranged defenses on the bridge where their large team passed, and there was no one on the bridge next to it.
The Huns didn't notice all this, they were still rushing forward desperately, and the illusory money beauties in the city had driven them crazy.
And they didn't notice that more than 20 meters away, a huge team was standing quietly behind, holding bows and arrows in their hands, but in order to prevent the arrows from reflecting, their arrows were not taken out, and they were quietly rubbed in the quivers.
The reason why they didn't find out was that it was already dark by this time, but it wasn't completely dark when they entered the city, and they simply didn't have time to light the torches during the battle.
This is deliberately controlled by Guo Jia, the timing is very important, and now the Hun soldiers who came in behind have brought torches, but many Hun soldiers in front have no torches and have not found potential danger.
After Zhao Yun and the others retreated, these Hun soldiers were in hot pursuit, or they were in a hurry to enter the city and do whatever they wanted.
"Quack"
"Bang Bang Bang"
Suddenly there was a massive rattling, as if something was about to break, then there was a thud, then a scream.
"Ah, no."
"Help me."
......
Many of the bridges that had been erected in front of the trenches suddenly broke without warning, and then many of the Hun soldiers above fell down, and when they fell, they fell, but below was a trap.
There are a lot of spears underneath, and they are densely packed, and people fall down, and those who are lucky will die on the spot, and those who are unlucky will be pierced in half, and they can't die if they want to.
Those who are not dead are screaming below, and some can only hum there, without thinking, the situation below must be very miserable.
However, the matter is far from over, and the number of people who have been killed by this trap is only a few hundred at present, and if it can be stopped, then the losses can still be bearable.
But today's Hun team is densely packed, and the back is constantly pouring up, and the front can only continue to move forward, and if it does not go forward, it will be pushed by the people behind.
The people in the back knew the situation in front at all, and they were all in a hurry to enter the city and plunder, so the people in the back pushed the people in front to go forward.
The people in front can't stop at all, they can only be pushed by the people behind, and they have only one fate, that is, to fall into the trap.
Of course, there were some people who did not fall into the trap, and they walked onto the bridge, but the bridge was so narrow that there were not many people at all, and there were still many people who were squeezed down the bridge.
Getting on the bridge does not mean that they will survive, there is already a row of escort battalions standing on the opposite side waiting for them.
Before they could attack the guard battalion on the other side of the bridge, a few spears stabbed at them, and because the bridge was so big, it was impossible to dodge, and their knives were short, so they suffered greatly.
The screams continued to sound, which seemed very strange in the dark night, the guard battalions on one side were quiet, silently killing the enemy, while the Huns on the other side kept pouring up, people kept falling, and many people were killed through the small bridge.
The Huns outside the city don't know the situation inside, they only know that entering the city gate hole means attacking the city, and then they can loot it on a large scale, and then they all squeeze into the city gate hole, for fear that it will be late, and the good things are someone else's.
In fact, they didn't know how many casualties of the Hun soldiers were caused by their actions, they squeezed inside, and the people inside didn't know the situation in front, they also squeezed forward, and the people in front knew the situation, although they shouted and shouted, so that the people behind could hear it, but their voices couldn't be transmitted so far, and the Huns in the rear still squeezed inside.
Although Guo Jia in the city couldn't see the specific situation clearly, he knew a rough idea just by listening to the voice, but he still felt that it was not enough, so he immediately ordered the soldiers next to him to take the next step.
