Chapter 128: Unusual Attack

The earth-shattering drums resounded through the night, and the light of the torches pierced the silence of the night.

At this moment, the news of the Huns' attack was quickly transmitted among the soldiers defending the city, but they were still preparing for battle in an orderly manner.

On the wall of Yanmen Pass, Meng Tian's face was calm, and he held the sword in his hand and looked at the smoke and dust that rose on the skyline in the distance that was thicker than the night, and there was a rumbling thunderous sound from the smoke.

Along with the tremor, the ground also kept shaking.

All the soldiers on the tower of Yanmen Pass were calm, wearing battle armor and holding weapons, ready to prepare for battle.

"With such a momentum, there are definitely quite a few people." One of the generals heard a thunderous tremor and said, "But what is the purpose of such a large-scale army attacking the city? Don't they know that this is just a matter of death? ”

The other soldiers were also silent when they heard this, and they completely agreed with what the general said just now.

After all, the strength of the Xiongnu is completely inferior to them, especially in terms of equipment, it can be said that the Xiongnu at this time were completely crushed by the Qin Empire.

The military formation of the Qin State was matched with an incomparably strong crossbow, and when it sprinted in the place, it would be washed by an overwhelming array of arrows.

The Hun cavalry alone will almost suffer countless casualties after this round of cavalry shooting, not to mention the situation after the hand-to-hand encounter.

It's almost always a one-sided situation.

If it weren't for the Xiongnu, a nomadic people who lived in pursuit of water and grass, and almost no fixed territory between the tribes, Meng Tian would have sent men and horses to exterminate them.

After all, the Huns also knew the gap, and generally relied on mobility and flexibility to plunder southward.

As soon as they saw that the Qin army could fight, they would fight, and if they couldn't fight, they would hide in the vast grassland, and then run out to plunder after recuperation.

This is also one of the reasons why Yingzheng sent Meng Tian to build the Great Wall, after all, it was difficult for the Xiongnu to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so they could only rely on fortifications to defend.

And the establishment of the Great Wall did play a great role in the stability of the Qin State.

It's just that now that the beginning of autumn has just begun, what is wrong with the brain of this group of Huns, and they dare to attack directly.

There was no time to think about the reason for the Huns' siege, and at this time, a brown torrent had already rushed out of the dusky horizon, accompanied by the deafening sound of horses' hooves from the trembling earth, knocking on the hearts of all the soldiers present.

Here it comes!

The hearts of all the soldiers present sank, they did not expect that the scale of the Huns would be so large this time, and there was a black cavalry wave in their sight.

That's at least 10,000 people.

And such a large-scale attack was discovered by the scouts who were cruising outside when they were approaching, and they didn't get any news at all.

Could it be that this group of Huns appeared out of thin air?

Meng Tian's face was gloomy, and the hilt of the sword he held seemed to be crushed.

"Everyone's ready!" Meng Tian waved his bright red robe, pulled out the sword in his hand and shouted.

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time raised their bows and arrows one after another to aim at the black torrent rushing outside the city.

"Put!"

With a sonorous command, the sound of countless bowstrings trembling sounded, and the arrows shot towards the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, forming a wall of arrows in the air.

The arrows burst through the air with an unrivaled sharpness, creating a dense rain of arrows.

"Ahh

As the rain of arrows fell, there were bursts of death wails, and the neighing of wounded horses fell to the ground.

A large number of Hun cavalry turned into dead spirits before they could rush up, and this was only a prelude.

The storm formed by the arrows became even more violent after drinking blood, and the already dense arrow rain was even more overwhelming and continuous at the moment.

Within 300 steps of Yanmen Pass, it was as if an invisible city wall had been formed, and anyone who exceeded this limit had turned into a dead soul.

In a short time, the battlefield was filled with the corpses of countless Huns and war horses, and the blood stained the black-brown territory.

The charging Hun cavalry also saw the power, and immediately turned their horses' heads and headed east-west, away from this land of death.

Immediately after a trumpet sounded, the Hun army gradually stopped, stopped charging, and retreated like a tide.

It didn't take long to get away from Yanmen Pass.

"This ...... What the hell are these barbarians doing? A general looked at the retreating Huns and wondered.

After all, tens of thousands of people came to attack with such a big momentum, and they just launched a random charge and retreated, which is too thunderous and rainy.

Suddenly he attacked, and then withdrew his troops after just a little probing.

What the hell are these barbarians going to do?

Meng Tian pondered, after all, this attack was too abnormal, not at all like this group of barbarians had been in the past.

Just after everyone was puzzled, it was found that these tens of thousands of Huns did not attack again.

……

Two hours later, the night was deeper, and the moon was already hanging high above the night sky, exuding a cold moonlight illuminating the majestic Yanmen Pass.

Just when all the soldiers began to think that this group of Huns would not return, the sound of trembling horses' hooves was remembered in the distance.

The Huns are here again.

The soldiers of Yanmen Pass were all nervous in their hearts, and they all clenched the crossbows in their hands, strong crossbows, and strong bows to prepare to meet the enemy.

But this time, it was still the same as before, and the seemingly mighty charge retreated under the Qin army's continuous firing tactics.

And this time it's a little bit faster than just now.

After the Huns retreated this time, Meng Tian had a clear understanding in his heart.

It seems that these barbarians are going to infest them repeatedly, make them nervous, and attack again and again when they finally relax.

However, for this harassment tactic, Meng Tian was unimpressed, and he turned around and said directly.

"Some of the soldiers went to recuperate and were not allowed to go into battle until they called you. Then send some soldiers to rest on the spot, and take turns to replace the soldiers who stand guard and supervise. ”

"If there's a situation, fight back immediately!"

Then he looked at the sky and said, "Before dawn, wake up the cultivated soldiers and prepare to launch a counterattack!" ”

"Be sure to rush up and kill the Huns when they harass and retreats before dawn."

Meng Tian's eyes were cold, and he said to the generals.

"Yes!" The generals took orders and left.

The sudden appearance of so many people here must have been a rapid march, right? And if you are in such a tired state and have to launch harassment tactics, I don't believe that you are not tired.

By the way, I also have to remind the surrounding passes, so that they can fight on both sides!

can bring so many tribes, it seems that the people who launched the attack this time are at least the Xiongnu generals and above, and even officials at the level of King Guli.

Meng Tian stood at the head of the city with a long sword, looking at the night sky, his gaze was far-reaching.
