The bows and arrows in the hands of the five thousand Hun cavalry under the city brought a storm and rushed straight to the southeast of Jincheng!

The foot soldiers of the Jincheng army, who were throwing wooden stones on the city, were caught off guard and were covered by the rain of arrows. Before many of them could retreat, they heard a whistling sound in the air, and then a black cloud of arrows loomed in front of them.

Zhang Lang, who was supervising the battle on the city tower, looked sideways, and saw that in the southeast corner, there were soldiers who had fallen from the head of the city, all of them were like hedgehogs, which was unbearable to see.

The timing chosen by the Hun cavalry was just right, and it also brought huge casualties to the defenders of Jincheng. Under just one round of arrow rain, more than 100 Jincheng soldiers fell to the ground and died. And that's not even counting the soldiers who didn't die from the arrows. In the southeast corner of Jincheng County, there was a mourning for a moment.

Zhang Lang saw that the southeast corner was in danger, and hurriedly ordered the drummer behind him to beat the trumpet, followed by a dull and long drum sound. The preparatory infantry on standby under the city climbed up to the top of the city from the stairs that had already been built with swords and cards in hand.

After going to the city, these Jincheng troops also showed their well-trained side as county soldiers. I saw that these soldiers had a clear division of labor, some people quickly stepped forward to the battlement with a round medal and a long card, and set up a shield to resist the possible next arrow attack of the Hun cavalry outside the city, and some people stepped forward to carry the dead or wounded body of the robe or carry it straight to the city.

At the head of the city, a hundred commanders of the Jincheng army who were hit by arrows refused the kindness of the robes who went to the city to send him down to the city for treatment and repair. He gritted his teeth and struggled to pull out the arrow from the shoulder socket of his left shoulder in severe pain. Cold sweat covered his face for a moment, and the hideous expression of his enduring severe pain looked a little terrifying.

Seeing the terrifying expression of this hundred-man commander, the foot soldiers who went to the city to support him took a step back, but heard that the hundred-man commander pulled out the ring knife at his waist, and then roared angrily: "Here in the city, the duty is related, I can still fight, how can I retreat a little!" ”

With that, the hundred men took a step forward, went to the side of the battlement, and continued to command his soldiers to continue to push the rolling wood and stones up the city, and then threw them down to the Zhao soldiers who had already climbed the ladder.

This time, we learned the lessons of the previous time. When the foot soldiers dropped the rolling wood and stones from the city, several shield-wielding soldiers would come by them to cover them. On the ever-changing battlefield, any practical skills and actions are often lessons learned in exchange for blood.

The rolling logs and stones tied to the ropes of the Jincheng army were thrown from the city one after another, and Zhao Jun, who was still climbing the ladder, was a wail. After a few breaths, the dropped log will be pulled up by the Jincheng soldiers at the head of the city, and then placed at the battlement at the head of the city, waiting for the next delivery.

The Hun cavalry wandered repeatedly outside the city, and from time to time under the command of Liu Yue, the king of Zhongshan, shot wave after wave of arrows to the city. However, the more than ten waves of arrow rain that followed were far less than the shock and damage caused by the first wave of arrow rain to the officers and soldiers of the Jincheng Army.

Although the Hun cavalry wandering away from an arrow was numerous, one of them fought from low to high, and the other opened the bow in motion, and the accuracy of the head was also greatly reduced. More than half of each rain of arrows did not reach the city, but plunged into the rammed earth walls.

However, after wandering outside the city for a long time, they have not seen the head of Jincheng County to carry out an effective counterattack against them. The courage of these Hun horsemen gradually grew. They repeatedly patrolled for a moment beyond an arrow, and fired several more waves of arrows at the city, and seeing that the Jincheng army still had no effective countermeasures against them, they gradually began to spontaneously move closer to within one arrow.

As the king of Zhongshan in the Xiongnu Zhao State, Liu Yue is naturally well-informed. Seeing that his subordinates spontaneously entered the land of one arrow at this time, his heart was suddenly terrified. Just as they were about to drink, they made these Hun warriors turn around and withdraw a stone's throw away. But it was too late.

Seeing that the Hun cavalry entered the range of an arrow, the crossbowmen who had been ordered by Zhang Lang to gather and deploy to the southwest city wall raised their crossbows one after another, aiming at the arrogant and arrogant Hun cavalry.

As the drum sounded again, the long-endured Jincheng Army crossbowmen were full of anger, and forcefully buckled the crossbow machine in their hands, or released their tail feathers. Nearly a thousand arrows, with the vengeful anger of the crossbowmen of the Jincheng Army, roared towards the Hun cavalry who were getting closer and closer to the city.

The three-edged arrowhead that flashed with cold light, with the sound of the fierce wind, came in an instant. Before the arrogant and arrogant Hun cavalry could react, they had already fallen under this breathtaking cold.

But in a quarter of an hour or so, those Hun horsemen paid the price for their own arrogance.

The crossbowmen of the Jincheng Army fired a wave of thousands of arrows, and the dozens of Hun cavalry soldiers who rushed to the front were immediately put down. After the first wave, the crossbowmen began to diffuse under the instructions of their respective generals. Maximize the firepower of long-range strikes. The bow has a fast rate of fire, and the archers keep holding the bow and firing arrows, while the crossbow is far inferior to the bow, but it is superior in its power and range. The crossbowmen were also struggling to wind up and then aim and shoot.

These two long-range projectile weapons were now intertwined to form a deadly network of firepower, shooting the advancing Hun cavalry under their horses. The previously arrogant Hun cavalry paid a terrible price for this. However, when they came to their senses and retreated, there were already hundreds of corpses left on the ground where they had wandered.

After paying the price for their own hubris, the Hun cavalry had withdrawn a stone's throw away, and no longer dared to rush forward. Their secondary arrows and other objects rarely hit the city, and they fell one after another while they were still some distance away from the city.

Although the Hun cavalry had already fled far away, the infantry of the Zhao army had already climbed the ladder and climbed straight to the city. The Huns' rain of arrows is now much less of a threat. Therefore, the Jincheng soldiers at the head of the city have put the rolling wood and stones on the city, and after the Zhao army climbed half of the ladder, these rolling wood and stones will be smashed down towards those Zhao troops with the breath of death.

Zhao Jun had only climbed half of the ladder before he climbed the ladder, and the rolling wood and stones above his head fell down like a black cloud covering the top. However, they were still climbing the ladder, and they could only let out a desperate howl, and then there was a muffled sound, and Zhao Jun on the ladder was smashed down the ladder one after another. Sergeant Zhao, who was free-falling from the ladder, immediately smashed on the top of the head of the soldier who was still climbing or was about to climb below, bringing a terrible wail that no human could make.

Although a few Zhao soldiers bravely stepped forward and cut the ropes tied to the rolling logs, they still could not save the fate of these comrades.

With the rolling wood and stones dropped by the foot soldiers at the battlement, the Jincheng Army crossbowmen on the outside of the gate tower aimed their bows and crossbows at the Zhao soldiers who were still stubbornly climbing upward. For a while, arrows rained down, and they dodged the Zhao soldiers who were rolling wood and stones, but they couldn't avoid these deadly arrow rains, and they couldn't escape the end of falling into the city and dying.

The stubborn resistance of the Jincheng army made the Zhao army under the city and unable to advance an inch. Even if there were a few brave people who were not afraid of death to climb the ladder to climb the city wall, they would soon be poked into a sieve by the spears stabbed by the Jincheng army in the city, and then fall freely, and then smash down a piece of Zhao army foot soldiers under the city.

The Zhao army launched its first attack and did not know much about the deployment of the defenders in the city. Due to their adequate preparations, the defenders were not afraid of the attack of the superior forces of the Zhao army.

The two conveniences repeatedly tuged at the west side of the city head of the Golden City. As time passed, the Jincheng Army, which was at a disadvantage in terms of troops, began to feel a little difficult in the face of the Zhao Army. The crossbowmen of the Jincheng Army, who kept firing arrows on the outside of the gate, gradually began to weaken the arrows they shot.

And the Zhao army under the city, although the casualties are increasing. However, the high reward that Liu Yue offered for the first warriors before the war was still constantly stimulating their hearts, making them still red-eyed, ignoring the death of Tong Ze next to them, just looking at the towering Jincheng County city wall, but there was a slight opportunity, so they did not hesitate to climb the ladder and want to rush up.

However, the tenacity of the Jincheng Army is far beyond the imagination of these Zhao soldiers. They climbed up again and again, regardless of casualties, and when they were about to reach the head of the city, and then opened up a position, the spears and blades of Jincheng County at the head of the city beckoned one after another. One second he was still dreaming of receiving a reward, but the next second he became a lonely ghost with a chest pierced or a head cut off, and then fell to the city.

With the increase in casualties, the Zhao army, who originally thought that the head of Jincheng City could be defeated, began to waver and doubt. The stubborn will of the Kaneshiro Army is far from being understandable by these mercenary soldiers who are driven by profit.

In the heart of General Zhao Jun, who was already unstable, the high reward seemed so unattainable at this time. Their movements as they climbed the ladder were far less neat than those of Fang Cai. When their eyes gradually became hesitant, and they fell to the bottom of the last car outside the city gate that tried to crash the city gate and open the way, but was smashed by several rolling logs and stones falling from the tower, their morale finally fell to the bottom in this failed attack.

And Liu Yue, who repeatedly wandered around the west side of Jincheng with the Hun cavalry, intending to find an opportunity to attack, saw that the soldiers who were besieging the city were exhausted and could not continue, so he ordered the gong to ring the withdrawal of the army.
