Chapter 174: Bloody Battle on a Rainy Night (Part II)

The sound of horses' hooves outside the camp had been divided into two parts, heading to the north and south. With the deployment decided, the two Huns cavalry strokes, each with a part of the cavalry horses with sand bags and wooden planks and other things on their backs, prepared to the attack site, went forward to fill the trench, and then chose the opportunity to go up and launch an attack on the camp wall.

At this time, if you have a bird's-eye view of this place from the air, you can see that outside the camp gate on the east side of the camp, a large group of gray and huge cavalry is now divided into two groups, each heading towards their respective attack points. The commander chose to take a detour to the north to pin down, while the other general had to attack from the south after the attack on the north flank had been launched.

When Li Yanzhao planned the camp with Han Pu and others, it was built to accommodate an army of more than 5,000 people. After that, Han Pu led the army south, and the camp was not rebuilt. With such a huge camp, it was usually convenient for the grain and ordnance in the middle of the camp, but now when it needs to be defended, it feels that the troops at hand are a little stretched.

The hundreds of cavalry led by the commander had already arrived outside the camp wall on the north side, and shot several waves of arrows at the Liangzhou soldiers guarding above the camp wall. The Liangzhou soldiers guarding the walled wall had already been fully prepared, and they raised their round cards or long cards to resist for a while. The Hun cavalry's preemptive arrow rain did not receive much obvious results. Seeing that the effect was not obvious, the Hun commander waved his horsewhip and pointed to the trench outside the wall, and gave an order: "Fill the trench!" ”

When the Hun cavalry who immediately tied various colored dirt cloth bags heard this, they carried their bags and stepped forward one after another, and each threw the mud bags on their horses into the trench, and then turned back to the formation and continued to pour arrow rain on the wall. A few arrows were occasionally shot from the wall, but they basically did not pose any effective threat to these Hun cavalry.

Seeing that these Liangzhou soldiers on the walled wall did not have any effective countermeasures, these Hun cavalry became more and more bold and arrogant. They whistled and shouted loudly, and began to look very clear in the gradually fading rain.

As the Hun cavalry's dirt bags were thrown into the trenches, the trenches outside the wall had been filled in a passage. By the faint light of the night, the camp wall behind the passage seemed extremely helpless. The Liangzhou soldiers on the walled wall also raised their shields and shrank their heads under the rain of arrows of the Hun cavalry, with a posture that only had the ability to parry and had no power to fight back.

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, the commander of the Huns shouted excitedly: "Sons, put up a short ladder, go up!" The king of Zhongshan has opened a reward, the first to break the village, the official is promoted to the third level, the bounty is one catty, ten cattle, 100 sheep, 20 brocades, and 10 Han women! ”

Hearing such a high reward, the Hun cavalry roared one after another, and then dismounted and headed for the passage made of sandbags.

"Break through this village, chickens and dogs will not stay! Hun warriors, let these humble and cowardly Han people see the bravery of my steppe sons! Use their blood to pay tribute to our Kunlun God! Let their women all become slaves of our Hun warriors! Kill! ”

Outside the wall, the dull sound of wood colliding sounded, and more than a dozen short ladders were set up on the north wall. There is no need to call, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and almost the moment they take the ladder, there are immediately Hun cavalry climbing up. They are not stupid, nor do they underestimate the enemy, but the reward given by the king of Zhongshan for the first to ascend as conveyed by the commander of the thousand commanders shook their minds, and no one was willing to be left behind, so that this rich reward fell to others.

On the short ladder, in a blink of an eye, several unwilling Hun cavalry were crowded, each of them biting the back of the knife in their mouths, and then followed the short ladder, trying to be the first to climb the wall and survive. Although, this is destined to be wishful thinking.

Hearing the creaking sound in front of the wall, accompanied by a regular gentle shaking, the defenders on the wall knew that the Hun cavalry had arrived. The respective captains and elders sweated in their palms, and then clenched the knives and guns in their hands tightly. When the sound of the creaking short ladder outside the camp wall was oppressed, it gradually became unbearable, and the chiefs on the wall pulled out the knives they were holding from their waists, and then shouted loudly: "Thorn! ”

With this order, the soldiers on the wall, holding their spears in both hands, and then counting the numbers in unison, stabbed down along the wall with all their might. When there were screams and the sound of the tip of the gun entering the flesh outside the wall, the Hun cavalry who climbed on the short ladder fell down the short ladder one after another. Most of them were pierced by the sudden tip of the gun, and they were killed instantly, and occasionally those who were lucky enough not to die were also lying under the wall, wailing hard.

Seeing that the deployment of the first wave of ladders was frustrated, the emotionless nonsense shouts of the Hun commander came from the rear: "Continue to attack, you must not retreat, and the violators will be killed!" Wives and children, old and young, are slaves! ”

The horsemen, who had been stimulated by the huge reward, heard this shout, and everyone rushed forward bravely, and the howling robes that fell under the wall were no longer cared for, and the remaining Hun horsemen who were hiding under the short ladder continued to climb up the blood-stained short ladder.

In the darkness, another row of spears stabbed down the wall. These Hun cavalrymen, who were climbing on the short ladder, fell down the short ladder silently or desperately, and then fell beside the dead or alive robes, and under the wall, they had gradually begun to pile up human piles composed of wounded soldiers or corpses.

Seeing that his subordinates could not conquer for a long time, the Hun commander outside the trench also began to be anxious, he rolled up his sleeves, and was about to step forward in person with a knife, but was stopped by a centurion who supervised the battle beside him.

"Commander, let me go, I want to show these cowardly Han people, what is the warrior of the Huns!"

When the commander heard this, he nodded approvingly, and then said: "Boyali, you can go, be careful, after breaking through the Liangzhou military camp, I should go to the king of Zhongshan in person and ask for credit for you!" ”

Hearing this, Boyali bowed deeply, then pulled out the long knife at his waist, and rushed towards the short ladder under the wall with a few guards.

After repelling several waves of Hun cavalry in a row, the pikemen on the wall were sore with sour hands. However, the offensive of the Hun cavalry was still continuous, and everyone did not even have a chance to catch their breath. Looking at another wave of Hun cavalry climbing up the ladder, seeing that the subordinates around him were so weak that it was difficult to even pick up the spear, a captain immediately stepped forward and grabbed the spear, and said: "I'll come, you take the shield and guard the back, if there is an enemy army on the wall, you will cut him hard." ”

The soldier who had been robbed of the gun swallowed his saliva and then replied, "Yes, Captain." ”

Another wave of Hun cavalry climbed the ladder, and the commander of Wu, like the soldiers beside him, held the spear with both hands, and then after the soldiers around him stabbed the spear down, he did the same, and stabbed the spear down!

The Hun centurion was climbing the short ladder, he had already seen the Liangzhou army on the wall of the wall using a spear to stab, so he had been mentally prepared for this, he held the back of the long knife in his mouth, his left hand held the short ladder, his feet quickly went up, but his right hand was empty.

A spear stabbed down out of thin air, and the Hun centurion, who had been prepared, immediately judged the direction of the spear by the sound of the wind, and then grabbed the short ladder with his left hand, and his body passed sideways in mid-air, and then the spear that stabbed down stabbed into the air!

Seeing the spear in front of him piercing the air, the centurion immediately reacted, and then stretched out his right hand and grabbed the spear straight onto the barrel of the spear!

The strength of the Huns was very strong, and the Wu Chang on the wall gradually became invincible, so he let go of his hand, abandoned the spear, and then reached out to grab the knife on his waist. However, before the knife could be unsheathed, in front of the wall, a burly figure appeared like a ghost, and his movements were agile and rushed straight towards the slightly sluggish Wu Chang.

Between the lightning and flint, the long knife in the hand of the Hun centurion had already pierced the chest of the captain!
