Chapter 924 - Overwhelmed with new gadgets

The perseverance of the Huns is admirable, and the resilience is also intimidating. In the harsh grassland, the Huns only relied on hundreds of thousands of people to compete with tens of millions of Han people for a hundred years, and they still had the upper hand everywhere, not because the Han was cowardly, but because the Huns were strong. The rain of arrows temporarily blocked the advance of the Huns, and only temporarily. The stubborn charge of the Huns made Liu Jian unable to completely stop the Huns' footsteps no matter how many arrows he shot.

This is war, a real war, and a real war that Su Ren faced for the first time. No matter how wise and strategic Su Ren was in the past, the war he encountered could only be called a game in the face of this war. Thousands of people rushed to Huangquan under Su Yi's order, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with it.

With the fierceness of the battle, Su Ren didn't have the heart to drink tea and chat, holding his sword in both hands, standing quietly at the top of the city tower. The soldiers fighting fiercely on the walls could see it if they turned their backs slightly. The fiery red loss is matched with the pitch-black battle armor, and the red cloak fluttering behind the back, which really feels majestic. It was too far away for anyone to see Su Ren's appearance, but it was enough to see this armor.

Huang Shisan and Manniu were very vigilant, they didn't have weapons in their hands, and they stood on both sides of Su Ren with a huge shield. In their eyes, Su Ren standing here is purely to increase the difficulty of the battle, even if the wall of Yanmen Pass is very high, but it is not high to the sky, the Hun eagle archer suddenly came to an arrow, they are really not sure that they can block it.

Han Qing also stood beside Su Ren, as a descendant of the soldier immortals, the desire for war was infiltrated in his bones. His face was a little pale, and his eyes were already bloody. Su Ren glanced back at Han Qing: "You still forget it, although you have some martial arts, you are still too thin on this occasion, so it's better to stay here!" As for the two of you who want to go up, don't worry, I'm fine! ”

Han Qing sighed. Huang Shisan and Manniu glanced at each other, hesitated for a long time and shook their heads. Su Ren smiled bitterly: "That's it!" Order, let Liu Jian exert his strength, it is not too early today, end early, let the soldiers have a good rest. ”

The red flag was held high by the heralds, swaying up and down, left and right. The battle on the walls immediately changed its appearance. The archers, whose arms were numb from archery, generally receded. The shield soldiers quickly seized the battlements of the city wall, pressed the shield against the female wall, and a long spear stretched out along the gap between the wall and the shield, forming a forest of spears at the head of the city.

"Rejection of the spear?" It was not once or twice that King Juntun and the Han people had fought, and he had long been familiar with the Han people's dead-faced style of play, but he never thought that this kind of horse-repellent gun formation that was specifically aimed at cavalry charges on land would be moved to the city by Su Ren.

Luan laughed and said: "Very good, this shows that Su Ren has nothing to do, as long as he takes down the wall in one go, this Yanmen Pass will be broken!" ”

King Juntun gritted his teeth: "Order General Zuo, take advantage of the retreat of the Han archers to speed up the attack, and can't give the Han people a chance to breathe!" ”

The Huns let out a wolf's howl again, brandishing the scimitar in their hands and rushing towards Yanmen Pass. This time there were more people than last time, and the narrow passage of Yanmen Pass was blocked by the Huns. Cloud ladders and rushing cars, which are siege weapons that only the Han people can use, also appeared among the Huns, especially those rushing cars, which are even taller than the Han army, which seems to make people worry about whether the Yanmen Gate can withstand the bombardment of such a behemoth.

The Huns first used the thunder bomb, and the thunder bomb with sparks was thrown high by the Huns with a leather rope, drawing an arc and flying towards Yanmen Pass. However, the results did not meet their expectations. The Huns' thunder bombs continued to appear unstable explosions from ignition to landing, and some of them had exploded on the leather ropes, but instead of blowing up the Han people, they frightened their horses and caused a lot of losses. Even the few that fell on the city wall were blocked by several shield soldiers with wooden shields to besiege the city at the moment they landed, and the killing effect was negligible.

Su Ren frowned: "What is Jian Liu doing?" Why did the Huns take the lead? ”

Han Qing looked at it and said: "Liu Duwei probably thinks that it is not yet time, the Huns are still some distance away from the city wall, and our thunder bombs are not as far as the Huns throw with leather ropes, so we can only wait for the Huns to get closer." ”

As soon as the words fell, a violent explosion came from under the Yanmen Gate, one after another, one after another, and the smoke of gunpowder that filled the sky made it impossible to distinguish the situation on the battlefield. Judging by the sound of the explosion, Liu Jian was calculated at the beginning of the bomb, because the explosion of the thunder bomb was gradually extending.

When he saw the smoke of gunpowder in front of Yanmen Pass, he already understood that the thunder bomb he made was not at the same level as the Han army's in terms of power. Whether it is from the sound after the explosion or the smoke produced, your own thunderbomb is like a child's toy.

"Report to the ......, the king, the Han army's thunderbolts are hugely powerful, our army has suffered heavy losses, General Zuo can't stand it anymore, ask the king to allow his troops to retreat temporarily!"

"Bastard! Useless waste! The king of Juntun whipped the herald in the face, and in an instant, a long blood streak was drawn. King Juntun was still angry, and he whipped the herald several times in a row, and then pointed at Luan Da with his horsewhip: "Didn't you say that the formula of the thunderbolt was stolen from the Han palace, why is it not as powerful as the thunderbolt in Su Ren's hand?" ”

Luan Da was also a little puzzled, and couldn't answer for a while. According to common sense, the things in the palace will always be the most famous and valuable things in the world, otherwise they would not be kept in the secret vault of the palace. I didn't expect Su Ren to be even more powerful! Luan Da suddenly thought of a problem, that is, he had long been suspected by Liu Che, so he was able to successfully steal the secret recipe of the thunderbolt bomb and come to the Huns smoothly.

"Come on!" King Juntun shouted, and the guards behind him all drew their scimitars.

Luan glanced at it and said with a smile: "The king still doesn't believe me?" You can use your head to guarantee that the secret recipe for the thunderbolt dedicated to the king was indeed stolen from the palace in Xia, and as for why Su Ren's thunderbolt is more powerful than the king's, I really don't know. ”

"You're still going to deceive the king?"

Luan Da immediately raised his right hand high in the depths: "I swear to the sky today, if there is half a lie, there will be no place to die!" Seeing that King Juntun's face was slightly soothed, Luan Da continued: "Now I share weal and woe with the king, and I have no intention of deceiving the king, as far as I know, the thunderbolt and the secret recipe of the thunderbolt in the Han Palace were still presented to Liu Che by Su Renjin back then, and this thing itself was made by Su Ren, and it is not surprising that it is more powerful than the king!" ”

"Do you have a way to crack it?"

Luan Da thought for a while and looked up at the sky: "If it's too late today and the field battle is not appropriate, why don't you temporarily stop the army and wait to go back and think about it, how about fighting again tomorrow?" ”

King Juntun looked at the wounded soldiers who ran back, all of them were like the bottom of a pot, there were still many people who were still in a mess, and they had no intention of fighting any longer, and nodded when they heard Han Qing's explanation.

The long horn sounded again, and the Huns who were attacking were relieved, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and ran to their camp, no longer caring about the situation behind them. They only felt that they should be as far away from Yanmen Pass as possible, and it was better to be in a place where no one could find themselves.

"Retreat!"

"Ran!"

"The Huns ran away!" The soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for a day cheered, and they didn't care about the reason for the Huns' retreat, as long as they defeated the Huns, it was the greatest victory, which meant rich military merits and a lot of rewards.

"Command! Shi Manzhu immediately fired cannons, and it was best to leave all the fleeing Huns behind! Su Ren said coldly.

The smoke of the thunder bombs had not yet cleared, and the sound of artillery was heard again. The sight of a total of 32 guns firing together is unforgettable for many people, and they have never seen such a majestic scene in their lives. Shells with piercing screams pierced the air, whistling into the fleeing ranks of the Huns. A huge explosion sounded again, and the air waves and lead pellets wrapped in the shells flew in all directions, throwing the Huns high and slamming them to the ground.

King Juntun's eyes were worth it, his mouth was not closed for a long time, he looked ahead blankly, and closed his eyes in pain. King Wu Jian sighed, turned his head and didn't want to look at the scene in front of him anymore, there are too many new weapons of the Han people, and each one is more powerful than the other, the current Han people are no longer the Han people who were as cowardly as chickens at the beginning, how can the Han people not be watched, and even the farther away the better.

The artillery fire was still extending, and under the command of Shi Manzhu, every shell landed accurately where the Huns had the most. The sound of cannons is more stirring than the drums of war. The soldiers of the Han army also looked stupid, knowing that a large part of them now realized that these strange things placed at the head of the city were so powerful. They are also glad that this thing is their own, and if it is an enemy, the consequences are unimaginable.

The king of Juntun did not say a word, turned his horse's head and walked back, he was destined to not be able to sleep tonight, he had to think about his plan. The Haikou that he boasted in front of Shan Yu Yizhi had to be repositioned, and the blood was so cold that there were no sparks left, which was a heavy blow to a proud Juntun king.

"King, King!" Luan shouted twice, and when he saw that King Juntun ignored him, he raised his voice again: "Don't be discouraged!" If we retreat, the Han people will definitely chase after us, and then there will really be no place to die! ”

The king of Juntun didn't reply. King Wu Jian glanced at Luan Da and smiled coldly: "Take this person down for me!" ”
