Chapter 414: The First Battle
The vanguard army of the military minister Shan Yu had already arrived in Cloudsdale in the evening of the same day.
This means that the meat grinder of Cloudsdale will be running again.
Although Liu Ling is a woman, she is still standing alone at the head of the city, and when she looks down in a military uniform, she does not have a trace of fear.
In her more than ten years of life, she has been rolling in the circle of intrigue and intrigue almost since she was a child. Now he wants to have a home, but he was cut off by the spies of the Huns. This hatred filled her chest with vengeful anger.
There was no fear in Liu Ling's eyes, she didn't know how strong Yunzhong City was, and she didn't know how many years the grain in Yunzhong City could support her against the Xiongnu.
She now has only one belief, which is to kill more Huns and bury Yan Ming. Even if she is left alone in the end, she will stand at the head of Cloud City and fight to the death with the Huns.
Liu Ling's attitude of seeing death as if he was at home and moving forward made all the soldiers defending the city feel excited. A woman can stand at the head of the city without fear and confront the Huns, what are these men?
"Fight! Follow the county lord of the king of Huainan to fight. ”
"Fight, such a beautiful girl dares to fight in the city, will our grandfather be weak?"
"Wait for next year, Lao Tzu's sacrifice day. I hope someone will say that Lao Tzu died against the 100,000 Hun army. It's also a kind of supreme honor. ”
The soldiers, who did not know the truth, let out a roar of rage.
According to their momentum, even if there are no military crossbows, no flintlock guns, no fire thunder and condor crossbows, I am afraid that the Huns will have to take a lot of effort to capture Yunzhong City.
The vanguard of the military minister Shan Yu did not rush to attack, but was stationed on the spot.
This is also a kind of temptation that the military minister Shan Yu agreed with the vanguard troops. Although the military ministers are brave and good at fighting. But he's not a scheming man.
Now that he is so close to the border of the Han Dynasty, he is also afraid that the Han Dynasty will give him a bad thing. Therefore, he sent the vanguard to provoke and camp under the city of clouds. His own army, on the other hand, was a little farther away from the periphery, observing whether the Han army was in ambush.
As in history, the military minister Shan Yu raided a small post on the border.
Among the small post stations, it is still the history of the captain that has been recorded in history. It's just that this time, Wei Shi didn't know the real situation, so he could only keep kowtowing to the military ministers and begging for mercy.
People are like that, the more you beg for mercy, the less he will spare you.
In the end, the military minister Shan Yu beheaded this captain who had helped him escape the conspiracy of Ma Yi in history.
Wei Shi died, and the meaning of his death this time was to make the military minister Shan Yu believe that Cloud City was a lonely city. At best, there are two military horses, Cheng Buzhi and Li Guang.
However, the sum of these two armies and horses is only 30,000 or 40,000 people, which is nothing compared to his 100,000 Xiongnu elites.
"Let the forward troops, launch an attack." The cautious Xiongnu Shan Yu did not immediately wave his army to attack Yunzhong City, but let the vanguard troops launch an attack on Yunzhong City.
This time, the Huns learned the lesson of King Zuoxian's defeat. They had prepared a lot of things to protect them from flintlock pistols and fire mines.
A platoon of strong men, in front, rushed forward with heavy sandbags.
The bullets of the flintlock pistol still have an impact on it, but they can't penetrate the bags of sand and gravel.
However, the Huns made a lot of calculations, but they still didn't calculate how to prevent the sputtering damage of fire and thunder.
When the fire and thunder fell among them, the Huns began to suffer heavy casualties.
Still, some people rushed to the edge of the bunkers on the outskirts, and this time, they learned wisely. All the Huns knew that if they wanted to take Cloudsdale, they had to take the bunkers on the periphery first.
Even if they fill it with people, they will also take down all the bunkers.
The Huns, who were lucky enough to rush to the edge of the pillbox, no longer slashed with knives and stabbed with spears, as they had done before. Instead, someone took out the oil and poured it into the firing port of the pillbox.
Almost at the same time, someone ignited the ignition and threw it inside.
These bunkers are not afraid of slashing with knives or spears, but they believe that these bunkers are afraid of fire.
It's just that when they pour fire oil into the firing port, there will still be flintlock pistols shooting out of it.
Some of the people who were filled with oil were directly decapitated and died outside. But there were still individual bunkers that burned.
"Fire and thunder, accelerate shooting. Flintlock pistols, aim for the strong men. Precise design. Liu Ling roared.
Seeing that several bunkers had already burst into flames, the people inside did not know whether they were dead or alive.
The lieutenants of the Hu cavalry and the old soldiers guarding the city were all red-eyed, and even some of the generals who knew that Yan Ming and Wei Qing were still red-eyed.
At the beginning, in the face of the many Hun cavalry of King Zuoxian, the army of the Han Dynasty was not damaged. Now facing the Xiongnu, what military ministers are Shanyu, will there be damage as soon as the battle is fought?
"Hit! Hit these shit hards. ”
The Han army went crazy.
Fire thunder, Condor crossbows, flintlock pistols, crazy shooting.
None of the Huns who were lucky enough to rush over made it out alive.
The ferocious firepower of the Han army directly brought the Huns' offensive to a halt. Although they were the vanguard of the Huns, they were not dead soldiers, and they would still retreat in the face of death.
Between Cloudsdale and the Hun vanguard, several lit bunkers were burning. Some of the oil was burning outside, while others were spilling flames out of the shooting holes.
All the Han troops were silent.
War is like that, even if you have absolutely advanced weapons, it is impossible not to have a few casualties.
No one escaped from the tunnels leading to the bunkers in the city. This shows that the Han army in those burning bunkers is more than lucky.
Inside, they were all comrades-in-arms who were once familiar.
When they faced King Zuoxian, they fought side by side. Among them, there are the Hu Cavalry Captain's Army, the old army of the border city, and the Southern Army transferred from Chang'an City.
These people were rusty at first, but after months of fierce fighting in the border city, they have become like brothers.
"County Lord, allow us to go into battle and charge the Huns." A hot-headed man yelled.
The corners of Liu Ling's mouth twitched, although she was like a fish in water in Chang'an's dangerous political circle, it was the first time she had faced such a war scene.
The Huns rushed over alive just now, but now they are all left outside the city, becoming corpses.
And in the bunker just now, those Han sergeants who shot were the ones she watched walking into the tunnel. Now he is in the midst of fireworks, and he doesn't know life and death.
No matter how strong Liu Ling's heart is, it has finally softened. But when she thought of Yan Ming, her softened heart hardened again.
"No need to go out. Cloudsdale is our hardest teeth. We waited in the city for them to come and die. Although Liu Ling was fighting with the army for the first time, she could see the advantages of the Han army.
Their advantage is the application of flintlock pistols. It would be a fool to give up the advantage of shooting from a distance and instead fight out of the city.
"Send someone in and take out the bodies of those who died in battle." Looking at those bunkers where the fire was weakening, Liu Ling said with tears in his eyes.
