Chapter 189: No Miracles
Although the Han army's arrow rain strike was very sudden, the Wuhuan knights still showed super horse control skills, turning and moving on horseback, dodging most of the incoming arrows, and the Wuhuan people who fell off their horses were less than 100 horsemen.

Zhang Liaojun could not see the specific killing effect, but he still executed three rounds of projectiles to the letter.
The Wuhuan people braved the rain of arrows and successfully broke through under the city wall at the cost of losing more than 300 horsemen. Seeing this, Wen Ping tried to lead the armor army to counterattack the Wuhuan people under the city, but as soon as he showed up, he was targeted by the archers of the Wuhuan rear army. Each of the Mask Armor Corps was attacked by at least three or more Wuhuan archers, and more than a dozen Mask Armor Corps suffered light or severe arrow wounds in an instant. Although the repeater has the advantage of rate of fire, it cannot withstand the large number of Wuhuan archers. Five hundred Han army crossbowmen were overwhelmed by more than 1,500 Wuhuan archery masters!
He Xian frowned, and hurriedly instructed Xiao Qiang: "Inform Wen Ping and Wei Yan, take two steps back, and put the Wuhuan people on the city wall to attack again!" The pikemen are in front, and the crossbowmen are behind! Don't fight with the Wuhuan people! Melee with them! ”
Xiaoqiang took the order and notified the heralds, and the city wall quickly made adjustments and gave the battlements to the Wuhuan people. With the arrows on the wall as a foothold, and with the help of ropes, the speed at which the Wuhuan people climbed forward was significantly higher. Soon, the first wave of Wuhuan warriors of more than 300 people climbed the wall and began to have a handover with the Han army!
The Wuhuan people under the city raised their arms and cheered, as if after ascending the city, the city would be broken, and victory was imminent. As everyone knows, the Han army let them go to the top of the city, just afraid of their arrow attack ability, and did not want to increase casualties. Now, the Han army retreated two steps back, and then let the Wuhuan people climb to the top of the city, basically blocking the shooting line of the archers under the city, and the Wuhuan archers can no longer attack the Han army unscrupulously.
Without the harassment of archers, the numerical superiority of the Han army was manifested. Three or so Han troops formed a small team, and at the same time dealt with a sword-wielding Wuhuan warrior, coupled with the crossbowmen behind them to carry out sneak attacks all the time, although the Wuhuan people could occupy a certain territory at the head of the wall, they were never able to defeat the Han army. Waves of Wuhuan people climbed the wall, and then fell on the wall in waves.
Although there are many Wuhuan warriors, they lack leaders of the level of Wen Ping and Wei Yan in the Han army, and they have never been able to hold a certain area and let the Wuhuan people gather superior forces. On the contrary, the Han army has two quasi-first-class generals in charge, but whenever the Wuhuan people have a tendency to assemble, they will be defeated and scattered by the two generals with their own martial arts!
The miracle did not appear, although the Red Mountain was close at hand, but it was not able to bless the Wuhuan clan to take advantage of the war. In this fierce battle, it was not the Han army that was boiled to death. Qiu Liju led more than 1,500 Wuhuan cavalry to work in a hurry under the city, watching his brothers attack the city, and then being picked out of the city and killed in battle. Although their cold arrows could also shoot a few careless Han soldiers, they could not reverse the overall situation.
Just as Qiu Liju was haggard in his heart and was about to withdraw his troops, several cavalry soldiers galloped from the direction of the big camp behind him. Qiu Liju turned around and looked, but saw that it was Bo Xiluo who hurried over, and his figure was very anxious!
"Not good!" Qiu Liju made a "pop" sound in his heart, and the worst premonition appeared.
"Oh no, King! There is a Han army! We have the cavalry of the Han army behind us! Bo Xiluo didn't wait for the run-up to get closer, and began to shout loudly.
"Boom!" Qiu Liju suddenly felt that the five thunders were thundering, and the sky was spinning, and only one sentence echoed in his heart: "This is a trap, this is a trap that must be killed!" "Zhang Chun is really right, from beginning to end, this is a trap set by the Han army for him, the Wuhuan King, and his commanded cavalry!
"Wang, Gongsun Chan led three thousand white horse righteous servants to attack from behind our army!" Bo Xiluo crawled off the horse and knelt down in front of Qiu Liju's horse, looking extremely embarrassed.
Qiu Liju's heart was shocked, as if he was suddenly dozens of years old, and he completely lost his previous heroic and domineering spirit, "How far is Gongsun Chan from here?" ”
Bo Xi didn't raise his head, and replied: "Less than twenty miles!" ”
"Mingjin retreats!" Qiu Liju weakly commanded the guards around him, but the guards didn't react for a while, Qiu Liju raised his voice and shouted: "Mingjin retreats!" I'm telling you to call in for a retreat! ”
As he spoke, the horsewhip in Qiu Liju's hand angrily whipped towards the guards.
Several of the guards were in pain, and they snorted and dispersed to give orders. The sound of Ming Jin sounded, and the Wuhuan archers who were looking for an opportunity to suppress the Han army were stunned. On the top of the wall, there are still hundreds of Wuhuan warriors fighting with the Han army, why did Ming Jin withdraw his troops at this time?
"King, you can't withdraw your troops! Our warriors are still fighting! Collect the troops at this moment, without the assistance of the archers, they will be killed by the Han army immediately! A handsome man came galloping on horseback and admonished Qiu Liju loudly.
Qiu Liju didn't speak, Bo Xiluo raised his head, and said with a miserable smile to the comer: "Lord Wuyan, the reinforcements of the Han army are almost here!" ”
"What?!" Wu Huan Xiaoshuai, who was called Lord Wuyan, was horrified when he heard this, and he understood why Qiu Liju was so depressed.
"Collect the troops! Collect the troops now! Lord Wuyan turned his horse's head and shouted to the archers under his command, "Get out of the attack area, change formation, direction: due south!" ”
Many Wuhuan soldiers were puzzled that Lord Wuyan was still refusing to withdraw his troops, but now he was more anxious than anyone else to collect his troops. But they still carried out the order well.
"What now, king?" Bo Xiluo cautiously asked the depressed Qiu Liju.
Qiu Liju took a deep breath and spit out two words: "Begging!" “
The retreat of the Wuhuan people came faster than expected! Many Han troops did not react, it was clear that the Wuhuan people on the city wall were still in a fierce battle, but the Wuhuan people under the city suddenly fled and abandoned their comrades! The Han army, whose pressure had plummeted, no longer had to guard against the cold arrows under the city, and its combat power began to increase in an instant. In less than half a pillar of incense, there are no Wuhuan people standing on the city wall!
"The big picture is decided!" On the watchtower, Guo Jiayao pointed to the Wuhuan people in retreat and said with a smile.
"Do you guess, is Qiu Liju preparing to escape, or is Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yi congruent?"
"Of course, it's Bai Ma Yicong, it's almost here! Otherwise, Qiu Liju could retreat more calmly! “
"Heroes see the same thing!"
He Xian and Guo Jia glanced at each other and laughed heartily.
"Let's go! I guess it's time for King Wuhuan to transform into our Dahan Town Beihou again! “
"Will you accept Chuliju's begging?" Guo Jia asked behind him.
He Xian smiled without saying a word, took the first step, climbed down the wooden ladder down the watchtower, and then went to the city wall.
