Chapter Eighty-Eight: Assault (Part I) (Three Watches for a Monthly Pass)
"The warriors of the Wuhuan tribe, the descendants of the Heavenly Wolf God, use the bows and arrows and scimitars in your hands, and use endless bloodshed and death to tell the Han people that we are the real wolves of the steppe!" Lou Ban Le Ma slowly turned around, facing the direction of Shanhaiguan, swung the sharp scimitar in his hand forward, and roared fiercely: "Kill-"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!" Under the dark night sky, six thousand Wuhuan warriors howled wolf in response, followed behind Lou Ban, and rolled towards Shanhaiguan.
Under the dark moonlight, a scout wanders the empty desert like a ghost, vigilantly searching the endless wilderness, as if searching for something from the endless darkness!
A cold feathered arrow came silently, mercilessly piercing the throat of the scout cavalry, and the scout cavalry's body standing on horseback stood up sharply, and his hands were raised high to choke his throat, trying to pull out the wolf's tooth arrow that pierced through the throat, but unfortunately, all the power had been drained with the blood spatter.
"Smack!" The endless darkness struck, and the scout cavalry shook twice on the horse's back, falling to the ground, and the frightened horse let out a mournful neigh, and galloped away towards the darkness in the distance.
Under the dark night sky, thousands of Wuhuan cavalry appeared like ghosts, Lou Ban turned his head to look at Hülegü, his eyes showed admiration, and praised: "Hülegü, your kid's archery skills are getting more and more powerful!" ”
"Hey, hey." Hülegü smiled. His eyes were as fierce as a ferocious wolf, and he liked the smell of blood and the feeling of killing. Prefer to shoot the Han people like prey on the steppe! This is already the seventeenth Han scout cavalry he has shot, even in the dim moonlight, an arrow still pierces the throat within fifty steps, and there is no mistake!
With Hülegu's superb archery skills, Lou Ban's six thousand Wuhuan iron horsemen finally quietly approached Shanhaiguan, and under the dark sky, the outline of the extremely majestic and tall Guancheng had already appeared! Two years ago, Lou Ban once followed his brother Nanlou once, and that time, the iron cavalry of the Wuhuan people shed blood here!
But tonight, Shanhaiguan will be ravaged by the Wuhuan Iron Horse. However, it is no longer a miserable and helpless shedding of blood, but a complete break through the Shanhaiguan! The despicable and cowardly Han people will always remember today!
Lou Ban took a deep breath of cold air, swung the scimitar in his hand forward, and in an instant, a mountain of shouts sounded under the night sky, and six thousand Wuhuan iron horsemen swept towards the quiet and peaceful closing of the city.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
"Trumpet, trumpet."
"Archers, archers, come forward and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Shield-bearers take cover!"
On the tall Guancheng, more than a dozen Han soldiers who were in charge of keeping vigil immediately discovered the abnormality, and in an instant, the terrible sound of the horn rose into the sky, shattering the quiet night, and the Han soldiers who were sleeping in the barracks heard the news, and the entire barracks were boiling in an instant.
"Daddy."
"Instigation." More than 1,000 Wuhuan iron horsemen swept through the gate of the city, threw more than 100 scattered sheepskin sacs, and smashed them on the wooden city gate and suspension bridge, and the sheepskin sacs filled with mutton fat were sprinkled out in an instant, and the air was filled with a strong fishy smell.
"Daddy." More than a thousand Wuhuan iron horsemen slaughtered from the night, and when they swept past the city gate, they stretched their bows and arrows, and the arrows on the strings were burning.
"Rocket!"
"Oh my God, it's a rocket!"
"The enemy wants to attack with fire, water, quickly prepare water."
"Ready to put out the fire, ready to put out the fire." The Han army on the tower of the city howled fiercely, and rushed down the tower to carry water, ready to deal with the fire attack of the enemy cavalry.
"Woohoo." More than a thousand flaming rockets swept through the air, nailed coldly to the wooden gates and drawbridges, and the flames on the arrows ignited the mutton fat in an instant, and the raging flames soared up, covering the entire city gate and drawbridge. Dozens of rockets also crossed the city wall and shot directly into the Han army camp, and the dry fur and firewood prepared to protect against the cold were ignited in an instant, and dozens of fires burned from the barracks at once.
"It's on fire!"
"Come and put out the fire."
"Captain, go and report to the captain." Although the Han army was panicked, it was not as chaotic as possible, after all, it was killed from the bloody battles of the barbarian Koubian over the years, how could they care about this little battle in front of them?
"What's going on, what's going on?"
Liao Hua looked furious and hurried over.
"Captain, there is a sneak attack by enemy cavalry and a fire attack. The gates and drawbridges were burned. Liao Hua's expression was sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Damn, enemy attack? How did the enemy get closer? Those scout cavalry are all eating dry food? ”
"Yuan Jian, I'm afraid that the scout cavalry sent out has already suffered an accident!" A rough voice suddenly sounded behind Liao Hua. Looking back in shock, I saw Gao Lan's thin figure standing in the flickering firelight, and the whole person's expression was as calm as water. Liao Hua shook his head vigorously, and an unbounded thought suddenly crossed his mind. This guy, how can his eyes and expressions be the same as the lord's virtue?
Gao Ran said coldly: "I am afraid that the only ones who can kill our army's scout cavalry silently are the Wuhuan barbarians!" ”
Liao Hua said in a deep voice: "Bo Sheng, do you mean that there are Wuhuan people outside the city?" ”
A cold smile bloomed at the corner of Gao Lan's mouth, and he said in a condensed voice: "No matter who he is, since he is already here, let them teach and understand the soldiers of our army!" General Yuan Jian. Before the city gate was broken, I led two thousand horsemen to charge into battle, trying to block the Wuhuan people as much as possible, and strive for more time to prepare. ”
"Hmm!" Liao Hua nodded, "Okay, I'll try to prepare for defense!" ”
Gao Ran's right arm was raised leisurely: "Brothers, get on the horse, kill—"
Gao Ran pulled out the horse's head, grabbed the horse's belly with his legs, and the mount under his crotch hissed sadly, let go of the four hooves and galloped away, and Gao Ran's loud roar sounded under the night sky: "The momentum of the charge, there is no advance or retreat!" ”
"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!" After the two thousand elite horsemen followed Liao Hua, they responded loudly, roared forward, and swept towards the outside of Shanhaiguan, and above their heads, the clouds condensed a faint image of a blue wolf - Gao Ran was able to condense the morale of the army after leaving Yan Zhanshu!
"Open the gates!" Gao Ran let out a thunderous shout, and the two thousand elite wolves behind him howled in response. The defenders who were desperately fighting the fire did not dare to slack off, and quickly opened the gate of the burning city, almost as soon as the city gate was opened, Gao Ran had already rushed through the horse, the cable of the suspension bridge was just burned off, and the heavy bridge plate fell down and was erected on the moat!
"Knock knock." The heavy iron hooves slammed coldly on the drawbridge, making a dull sound, like the sound of fierce war drums, which made people's blood boil!
Outside the city, under the dark moonlit night, Lou Ban's eyes suddenly became extremely hot. Charge! The cowardly Han people still dare to rush into battle without knowing the enemy's situation?! Interesting, is there a cavalry duel with the Wuhuan warriors on the grassland? Then let the scimitars of the Wuhuan warriors and endless killing to tell these stupid Han people what a real cavalry is!
"Huh-" Lou squad leader howled, the scimitar in his hand waved forward, galloped out, behind Lou Ban, six thousand Wuhuan warriors pulled bows and arrows, and the galloping horses were full of bowstrings, and a wolf's tooth arrows were put on the strings, and the burning fire in the city was reflected on the sharp arrow clusters, reflecting a cold cold light.
"Kill!" Gao Ran and Lou Ban shouted in unison, urging the horse to gallop forward!
With the light of the blazing fire at the city gate, with the instinct of the general, the two discovered each other almost at the same time, and also judged the identity of the other party! The fierce battle intent ignited in the chests of the two of them, like two wolf kings, roaring and crashing together!
"Dang!" Gao Ran's long knife and Lou Ban's scimitar slashed heavily together, making a fierce sound of gold and iron, Gao Ran was shocked to the point that his right arm was sore, and it was difficult to lift it for a while, Lou Ban's majestic body shook violently twice on the horse's back, and was almost cut off from the horse - Gao Ran is the inner strong realm, and Lou Ban has stepped into the realm of divine bravery, it should not be such an ending, but although the small horse pedal at Gao Ran's feet is inconspicuous, it makes Lou Ban suffer a big loss.
The two horses staggered, and the horses passed. The roaring Han army and the galloping Wuhuan cavalry have been killed together like a tide!
"Woohoo."
"Instigation." The arrows of the Wuhuan cavalry and the throwing spears of the Han cavalry swept into the air at the same time, and each of them fiercely plunged into the enemy formation with the grim smile of death.
