Chapter 289: Storming the County (II)

The shooting of the east gate of the city caused certain casualties to the Huns defending the city, and from time to time someone fell from the city wall, which made the archery skills of the Huns on the city wall not play normally.

The shouts of killing from the south and north of the city also seriously affected the mood of the city defenders.

Regardless of casualties, Lu Bu urged the slaves to attack the city.

Half an hour later, Wei Xu of Ximen also began to attack the city.

The people who participated in the siege of the city were all rescued Han slaves, and they were full of unforgettable hatred for the Huns, and they were very strong and fearless of death when they attacked the city.

Their equipment was much better than that of the Hun slaves, at least they wore leather armor, shields, and weapons.

After the Huns were transferred, they had not yet organized their defense, and Wei Xu had already ordered the siege of the city, making those Huns scramble and rush to the battle.

Wei Xu ordered the cavalry to support from under the city and suppress the Huns at the head of the city with bows and arrows.

The Huns who defended the city did not have as many skills as the Han people to defend the city, and they had a single means, only bows and arrows to suppress, and there were no boulders, boiling oil, hot water, giant trees, etc., relatively speaking, the siege side was much easier.

Lü Bu did not persuade the Huns to surrender before the siege, these Huns defended the city with the belief that they would die, they believed that if the city was broken, the Han people would definitely kill, and for the safety of their families and children, they fought hard.

Wei Xu's side was progressing well, and the first wave of attacks led to the city wall and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Huns. This dealt a great blow to the Huns' confidence in defending the city.

The Han people who attacked the city wall were also not afraid of death, and the close combat with the Huns was very cruel, but those Huns were old and weak, how could they be the young and strong opponents of the Han people?

The surrounding Huns surrounded them, hoping to eliminate the Han people who climbed the city wall by relying on the strength of the people, but it caused weak defenses in other places, allowing more Han soldiers to climb the city wall.

It can be regarded as a chain reaction, more and more Han officers and soldiers climbed the city wall, and the Huns were beaten and retreated one after another, creating conditions for later Han officers and soldiers to climb the city wall.

The huge shouting of killing at the west gate made the Huns in the city tremble, but it greatly stimulated the Han officers and soldiers who were besieging the city.

Lu Bu gave an order, all the slaves pressed on, and they must attack the city wall, and at the same time ordered three thousand cavalry to dismount and prepare for the siege. Lu Bu saw that the slave soldiers in that group were very effective in shooting at the Huns at the head of the city, so he transferred a piece of cavalry to suppress the Huns at the head of the city with bows and arrows.

The Huns guarding the city at the east gate immediately felt the pressure, and the sharp arrows shot from the city killed many Huns, and the defensive effect was greatly reduced.

The siege of the slaves suffered heavy casualties, from time to time someone was hit by an arrow, let out a painful howl, the lightly wounded did not dare to fall down at all, otherwise they would be trampled into mud by the latecomers, and they could only endure the pain and continue to charge. The Huns defending the city were also frightened by this fierce style of fighting.

Soon someone attacked the city wall, and hand-to-hand foot combat was not the strength of the Huns, who only knew how to cut each other, and there was no formation and mutual cooperation at all.

Lu Bu didn't care about the lives of those slaves at all, and ordered a wolf cavalry guard to supervise the battle behind, and those who dared to retreat would be killed.

In the past, it was still a wave of offensives, but now all of them are pressed, and the Huns can not cope with it immediately, coupled with the containment of the archers under the city, the defense of the city head is loosened, and someone immediately attacks the city wall, and the successors quickly follow up and expand the results.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he saw it, anyway, those old and weak Huns were almost consumed, so he urgently ordered the soldiers who were ready to attack the city to divide into two parts and join the siege.

With the addition of these regular troops, a one-sided state immediately appeared on the city walls, and the situation was very unfavorable for the Huns.

The regular army, with a small shield in one hand and a steel knife in the other, or a steel knife with their teeth, waited for them to climb the city wall and immediately joined the hand-to-hand combat, killing the Huns with blood and flesh flying and limbs splashed everywhere.

Lu Bu waved his hand, and another 2,000 people joined the siege, he was ready to take Heyin City in one fell swoop, if it was difficult to conquer even such a small city, how could he get close to the Central Plains in the future! And the defenders of the city are all old and weak, if they can't go down in one go, it will be spread out to make people laugh, which will damage his prestige as a "flying general".

At this time, the situation was very good, and Wei Xu's side was also progressing smoothly, having occupied the city head, and was charging towards the city gate, striving to occupy the city gate, and then let the cavalry rush into the city.

The east and west city walls were occupied at the same time, and the Huns in the city were very frightened, feeling that the defense was hopeless, and immediately retreated to the city, hoping to hold the county government again, which was undoubtedly what Lu Bu wanted to see the most.

The officers and soldiers who entered the city quickly opened the city gates and welcomed the large army into the city.

At this time, all the officers and soldiers were very excited, they did not expect the siege to be so smooth, relying only on slaves, they conquered the city; Then it's time for them to shine.

After the cavalry entered the city, they began to use the tun as a unit, street by street, house by house to clean up the Huns in the city, and those who dared to resist were killed. From time to time, cold arrows were fired at the Han officers and soldiers, but the Han officers and soldiers cooperated with each other and did not give them a second chance to attack.

Thousands of cavalry slaughtered frantically in the small county town, and the smell of blood was filled, which greatly shocked the Huns, and those helpless women, children, old and weak were forced to surrender.

Those who surrendered in the city were escorted out of the city and kept in custody.

In the end, only the county government was left, which was very difficult for Lu Bu and others.

The soldiers pulled the car and crashed it, and it didn't take a few clicks for the gate of the county government to be smashed, and the army rushed into the county government and began to carry out a frenzied killing of those who dared to resist, especially those slaves, who were lucky to survive, but they did not dare to disobey Lu Bu's orders, and only by obtaining enough heads could they change the fate of them and their joining.

Lu Bu was overjoyed to successfully occupy Heyin City, and immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to clean up the captures, register the battle damage, rescue the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and count the battle exploits.

The large number of cattle, sheep and horses in Heyin City made Lu Bu very happy, and these materials will be the foundation for his next survival.

Lü Bu ordered Wei Xu to be the county commander of Heyin City, preside over the work of Heyin County, and be responsible for clearing the surrounding Xiongnu settlements.

Li Su only brought 2,000 people, Lu Bu was very uneasy, and ordered someone to give Cheng Lian an order, ordering him to return to Heyin City as soon as possible, he was ready to let Cheng Lian lead 3,000 cavalry to support, and serve as the county commander of Shuofang County, replacing Li Su back.

Lu Bu estimated that the war here had not yet reached the Xiongnu Right Xian King, and he had to take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the war and stabilize the local defense, and there was nothing that could be done after the Right Xian King received the news.

East to Linhe City, west to Shuofang City, after that is the foundation of his Lu Bu, and it is his biggest bargaining chip.

Subsequently, Lu Bu calmed down and began to summarize the gains and losses of the siege, the low county town of Heyin is so difficult, and the defenders of the city are the old and weak Huns, they have no experience in defending the city, so he is so bothered, if he enters the Central Plains, in the face of those tall cities, experienced officers and soldiers defending the city, how to do it?
