Chapter 998: The Son of Heaven's Killer Weapon
In the lobby, there was silence.
A pair of surprised eyes looked at Su Zhe, his mouth opened wide, as if he couldn't believe that Su Zhe really ordered the siege of the city.
"Your Majesty, has it been here?" Ma Yunlu saw the clue and asked with an excited smile.
Su Zhe smiled but did not speak, only nodded slightly.
Ma Yunlu understood, and suddenly the killing machine was furious, and he said happily: "Then what are we waiting for, of course, the whole army will attack, break the Yanmen Pass, and kill all the Hun dogs!" ”
Everyone was stunned, and their confused eyes looked at Ma Yunlu, who was angry and angry.
What do you mean?
Just now, didn't you have a good reason to oppose the assault on Yanmen Pass?
How is it that in the blink of an eye, as soon as the Son of Heaven said that he was going to attack, you immediately changed the direction of the wind and shouted that you were going to fight?
The meaning of this husband singing with his wife is too obvious.
The generals thought so in their hearts, but how dare they say that even if the Son of Heaven was generous and did not blame him, that Miss Ma would have to cut off their tongues.
After all, the Son of Heaven is going to fight, which is just what they want, and the generals are suspicious and gladly accept their orders.
The order was handed down, and the generals returned to their respective battalions to convey the will of the Son of Heaven to the soldiers and mobilize the soldiers before the battle.
The soldiers of the Wei army, who had been holding back for nearly a month, were all full of war spirit and excitement, and they couldn't wait to wash away the anger in their hearts with the blood of the Huns.
I didn't say anything all night, and I didn't realize that it was dawn the next day.
The morning sun rises in the east, and the sky is clear.
After a full meal, the soldiers of the Wei army drove out of the camp like a stream, met in front of the Yanmen Pass, and gathered into a sea of soldiers, overwhelming the sky and seeing no end in sight.
The Great Wei battle flag, like a wave, rolls and flies, and the momentum soars to the sky.
Su Zhe, who was sitting high on the red rabbit, looked at the head of Yanmen Pass from afar, and looked at the broken Hun King Banner with cold eyes.
He knew that at this moment, Huvro was also watching him from the top of the city.
Yu Furo dozed off and climbed to the top of the city, the drowsiness on his face had not yet dissipated, and he glanced disappreciatively outside the city.
Looking at the black-pressed Wei army, Yu Fuluo shivered, and all his sleepiness was dispelled in an instant.
"Could it be that the surnamed Su wants to bombard the city again? He really doesn't give up. A hint of disdain tipped at the corners of Ivro's mouth.
In successive months, the Wei army carried out a terrifying bombardment of Yanmen Pass, but still failed to collapse the city wall.
Now coupled with the rebellion of the five counties, they have been put down one after another, and the remaining rebel counties can no longer make any waves, and Yu Fuluo's fear of the Wei army and Su Zhe has been greatly reduced, and he no longer attaches great importance to the past.
In front of the Wei army array, Yu Fuluo expected that it was nothing more than another bombardment, so he didn't take it too seriously, and naturally despised it.
"Something is wrong, something is wrong." Jia Kui beside him suddenly questioned, and his eyes flashed with doubt.
"Something is wrong? What's wrong? Juvro asked casually.
Jia Kui pointed to the outside of the city and said: "Da Dan Yu, please see, the Wei army did not bring the divine thunder cannon up again, I think this time they do not want to attack the city, but want to attack directly." ”
Besiege?
Yu Fuluo looked outside the city and saw that there was no divine thunder cannon in front of the Wei army, but the Wei army added many siege equipment such as ladders, rushing cars, and towers.
"Do the thieves really want to attack the city?" Huvro's brow furrowed.
Bu Dan snorted disdainfully: "He can't break through our city wall with thunder cannons, what else is there to be afraid of, our more than 60,000 soldiers are not vegetarians, and the Su thief dares to attack the city, so let's tell him to walk around without eating!" ”
Yu Fuluo's face burned with disdain and arrogance, with the scimitar in his hand, he shouted: "Warriors of the Great Huns, the time has come for you to repay Ben Shan Yu, pick up your scimitar, and kill me as many as Wei Gou comes!" ”
"Kill—"
"Kill—"
The Hun soldiers raised their scimitars in their hands and roared like wild beasts, arrogant and agitated, and their momentum was high, completely ignoring the Wei army outside the city
The roar of the Huns, Su Zhe heard it clearly, the corners of his mouth swept up with an intriguing sneer, and the horsewhip pointed towards the enemy city: "Order, the whole army will attack!" ”
Tom tom!
The order was laid, and the sound of war drums rose into the sky, shattering the silence inside and outside the city.
50,000 former sergeants and soldiers advanced mightily and approached towards Yanmen Pass.
The Wei army approached, and the Huns released arrows......
The Wei army fired arrows to counterattack and continued to approach......
The Wei army crossed the moat, erected a ladder, and began to climb the city......
The Huns threw flying stones, threw sassal wood, and fought back desperately......
The offensive and defensive sides cooperated with each other with an incomparable "tacit understanding", you attack and defend, and the rules are moderate, and soon fell into a stalemate.
Groups of Wei soldiers did not hesitate to lose their lives and rushed to the head of the city, and the Wei army's offensive was not ferocious.
It's just that the city wall of Yanmen is high and thick, and the Huns have enough soldiers and horses, so it is not easy for the Wei army to break through the city defense by strong attack.
After attacking the city for half an hour, the Wei army paid more than 1,000 dead and wounded, but no one could break through the city wall and successfully climbed to the top of the city.
The high morale of the Wei army seems to be gradually moving towards the next step with the setback of the siege.
"Your Majesty, the enemy army is stubbornly resisting, and our army's siege seems to have suffered some setbacks, do you want to continue to attack?" Deng Ai had something to say, which implied that Su Zhe would withdraw his troops.
Su Zhe sneered and said, "The killer weapon of the city has not been laid out yet, how can I withdraw the troops right now." ”
Killer?
Deng Ai looked suspicious, he couldn't guess what kind of strange strategy Su Zhe had laid out, and his eyes couldn't help but look carefully at the front city of Yanmen.
Suddenly, his eyes moved, as if he had noticed something unusual.
He vaguely seemed to see that under a section of the city wall on the east side of the city tower, most of the Wei soldiers were desperately climbing the city, but there were only a few hundred soldiers who were busy with other things.
They're digging holes!
The hundreds of soldiers, not carrying weapons, but carrying shovels and hoes and other tools, were burying their heads in digging holes under the city walls.
"Is it possible, Your Majesty wants to rely on those hundreds of people, but can't you dig through the city wall?" Deng Ai looked at Su Zhe with a suspicious gaze.
He quickly dismissed the speculation.
The wall of Yanmen is two zhang thick, and most of them are built of stones, not to mention that they dig secretly, even if they dig blatantly, it is impossible to dig through it in a few days.
Sure enough, the hundreds of soldiers, after digging a small hole a few feet square, touched the hard stone, and were blocked, and there was no way to make the hole bigger and wider.
At this time, the Huns also discovered that the Wei army was digging a hole below, mobilized a large number of crossbowmen, and frantically fired arrows below to prevent the Wei army from digging a hole.
"What the hell does Your Majesty want to do?" Deng Aihu's suspicious gaze looked deeply at Su Zhe.
Su Zhe waved his hand and sneered: "The hole is almost dug, Hu Che'er, it's time to bury my killer weapon in it." ”
