Chapter 341: Sniper

Yan Ming and Wei Qing stood at the head of the city, and there were storms and clouds surging in the sky, as if they were about to set off a spring rain.

Under the surging wind and clouds, it was the direction where the Hun cavalry was located.

"Fourth, let's two brothers, let's play with them." Wei Qing was also aroused by Yan Ming's ambition.

"I still have to cooperate with Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi in this matter. Our three places are horns of each other. And we are the tip of the horn. We must beat out the name of the 2,000 Hu Cavalry Captains. Let the Huns know that there are only 2,000 people in Yunzhong City. Yan Ming said.

Two thousand people, against the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, this kind of war concept, not to mention the Han Dynasty, has never been done by other dynasties before.

And Yan Ming has to do it. His conception of war was based on the advanced nature of weapons.

Two thousand Hu cavalry captains, with military crossbows, can completely resist the attack of 10,000 Huns. If it is really possible to annihilate the 10,000 Huns with 2,000 people, it will arouse great attention from the Huns.

The greater this focus, the more likely it is to succeed in the future.

The people of Cloudsdale have all been mobilized.

Military crossbows, spare military crossbows, and crossbow arrows have all been moved to the city.

These days, the production of fire mines is also very rapid, and it has been possible to ensure that each trebuchet has two boxes of fire mines next to it.

On the north wall of Cloud City, nearly 100 catapults and dozens of Condor crossbows have been erected. Once faced with the Huns galloping across the grassland with cold weapons, it will definitely be a crazy torture and slaughter.

The Huns must have been prepared, and now in Yunzhong City, if they want to send ordinary scouts to contact Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi's army, they are afraid that they will be intercepted and killed by the Hun cavalry squad.

At this time, masters like Lei Quilt and Dajie came in handy.

They may not be of much use in charging into battle, but they can be used to make contacts, and they can have a surprising effect.

Lei was sent to Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi's army respectively, and sent letters.

Yan Ming and Wei Qing did not pin their hopes on the reinforcements from both directions. All they had to do was to fight vigorously with the Huns in Cloudsdale.

The day after the arrival of the Huns, another 10,000 men had already arrived behind the 5,000 cavalry.

The total number of troops has reached 15,000.

When the scout told Wei Qing the news, Wei Qing was stunned.

They never dreamed that the Huns would send 15,000 men to attack Cloud City right now.

"Well, the more the better." Yan Ming looked at the more and more black Hun troops on the opposite side, and his eyes showed a bloodthirsty color.

The Huns, it's too much.

The Great Han had just built a solid border city on their own borders, and they couldn't stand it anymore. If this kind of nation and this kind of people do not teach a good lesson, they will not be honest in their duties.

In the morning, the weather was overcast, and the five thousand vanguard troops of the Huns began to move in the direction of Yunzhong City.

Five thousand people, compared to the great melee of 100,000 and 200,000 troops, is already a pitiful number. But at this time, it was spread out on the wilderness outside the city in the clouds, and it looked black and oppressive.

This time, the Huns actually gave up the superiority of cavalry and began a storm.

"Ready!" The head of the city, plus the old soldiers and female soldiers, there were nearly 2,700 people. All of them raised their crossbows and waited for the Huns to come into range.

"Whew-"

The sound of trumpets sounded in the camp of the Huns.

With the sound of the trumpet, the Hun army began to move forward, and instead of launching a rapid charge, everyone had shields in their hands and scimitars.

At the high post farther back, several Xiongnu generals rode war horses and pointed to Yunzhong City with horsewhips.

"Lou Xiaowu!" Yan Ming roared.

"Master Hou, I'm here!" Lou Xiaowu ran over not far away, carrying a flintlock pistol with a scope in his hand.

"Did you see the grandchildren on the other side?" Yan Ming pointed to the Hun generals behind the Huns who were standing on a high post and looking at Yunzhong City.

"See!" Lou Xiaowu said.

"Visually, how far." Yan Ming said.

Lou Xiaowu immediately picked up the flintlock pistol, looked at it with the scope on it, and said after a while: "I feel the distance of six hundred paces away." โ€

Yan Ming sneered and said, "The grandson of the Huns has learned to be obedient. Last time, Ah Guda was shot by us at a distance of about 500 paces, and now they are standing at a distance of 600 paces. Lou Xiaowu, take a look, can you kill them? โ€

Lou Xiaowu responded, immediately picked up the flintlock pistol, climbed on the top of the city, and aimed at the Hun generals opposite.

"Master Hou, at such a distance, it seems that only by hitting the head can you have a chance to kill them." Lou Xiaowu said in a low voice.

Wei Qing also came to the spirit, and being able to shoot the opponent's generals in his own city was absolutely unprecedented. If you can really kill the opponent's generals in the air, no matter what kind of general the opponent is, it will cause great suppression to the Huns' momentum.

"Hit, aim for the head and hit!" Yan Ming said hatefully.

Lou Xiaowu pursed his lips, closed one eye, brought the other eye closer to the scope, took a deep breath, and took care to aim at a few Huns on the opposite high post.

"Master Hou, I'm aiming at the guy with the whip, and the one who is pointing at him should be a big official." Lou Xiaowu said.

"Shao Teniang's nonsense, kill your credit, shoot." Yan Ming said with a smile.

Lou Xiaowu closed his mouth tightly, held his previous breath, aimed at the time of two breaths, and moved his fingers slightly.

"Bang-"

The muzzle of the flintlock pistol spewed smoke and dust of gunpowder.

The dull sound of gunfire pierced the silence of the battlefield.

The gunshot was heard on both sides, and at the same time, the face of the general with the horsewhip on the opposite high post burst into a cloud of blood.

The whole person shook his horse and hit his head directly on the ground.

Originally, the buckshot hit a golden hoop on his head, and then hit his forehead. It only caused his skin trauma, so that it was not fatal.

But the huge impact of the lead bullet and the horror of being hit made the Hun general nervous and crashed down.

With his head down, his neck was directly crushed by the tremendous pressure of his body, making a crackling sound.

"Generalโ€”"

The two Huns on the side immediately turned over and dismounted, and when they checked carefully, they saw that the general had only breathed out and had no breath.

"The Han army is using witchcraft again!"

"Attack, kill the city, and find the wizard who uses sorcery. Kill him! โ€

The Huns didn't know what a flintlock pistol was, and according to their understanding, it must be witchcraft that could kill their little general at such a distance. As long as you kill the wizard, you are not afraid of the witchcraft of the Han army.

This blow made the originally slow attack of the Huns suddenly accelerated.
