239 Defending Gwangwu Castle (1)
The five-mile distance was only a short distance for the Hun cavalry, and soon, Guangwu City came into the sight of the old horse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As far as the eye can see, the city wall of Guangwu City is far taller than the average small county town, but this tall city wall actually has no city gate, but is blocked with some fragmentary stones. It is estimated that the time was in a hurry, and the city gate was only half blocked.
The city wall is full of walking figures, there are nearly five hundred people, and there are so many people on one city wall, then it is likely that there are two thousand defenders in the entire Guangwu City.
But these people were flustered and undisciplined, and from time to time someone even bumped into each other, causing chaos on the city walls.
"Lei Mu, this is what you said about the elite soldiers of the Han people?"
"I'm ......" Lei Mu was speechless, so he could only speed up his horse and get closer to check again.
After galloping for a few hundred meters, when Lao Ma and Lei Mu were able to see the faces of the people on the city wall clearly, they found that these people were all dressed in messy Han clothes; The weapons are even more inconsistent, there are ge, guns, knives, swords, and even palladium plows and sticks; Most of them were thin and stumbling, with no trace of training at all.
Elite soldiers? This is simply a rabble composed of the Han people.
***********
In fact, Lao Ma didn't know that this was not an ordinary person, but a team composed of soldiers and slaves from the old man's family and several other small scholars.
On the city wall, Master Wang and a few old guys stood side by side, and they were the heads of these families.
Since they can't escape, they don't plan to be arrested, so they have to fight for their family business.
"Go to the west and guard it for me."
"Go to the north with more people, there is the front of the Huns, and you can't relax."
"The south and east sides should also send more men, and be careful of the Huns going around."
A few old fellows, you say a word, I say a word, and command the army indiscriminately, which is the reason for such chaos on the city wall.
"Master Wang, can we really win?" One of the housekeepers asked incredulously.
"Of course we can, we are defending the city, the Xiongnu are attacking the city, they need at least several times as many as our men and horses to break through Guangwu City, but in fact we have two thousand people, they only have three thousand, and there is not much advantage."
Master Wang knows some about the fur of war, and when it comes to it, several heads of the family heard Lord Wang's words and calmed down.
But they didn't know that Master Wang's words were just to comfort themselves, and how could the Hun cavalry be compared to these soldiers.
Boom Boom
With the shaking of the city wall, several old fellows heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping, and their hearts beat violently.
Look down from the city walls, and then a few people are stupid.
Three thousand iron horses galloped, like the waves rushing in the sea, magnificent and indestructible.
The thick dust that was raised, the loud sound of stampeding, and the shaking of the ground caused by it all made a few old guys frightened.
"Master Wang, this ......" An old guy was so frightened that he was incoherent, if it wasn't for the city wall, it was estimated that he would be able to soften to the ground directly.
"Master Wang, can we really win?" This old fellow was better than the previous one, at least able to speak normally, but his pale face still showed his fear clearly.
"Can't win, can't win, I definitely can't win......" This one, he kept repeating the words "can't win" in his mouth, stepped back step by step, and fell directly to the ground.
"Shut up!" Seeing such a situation, Master Wang had to stand up, and if he didn't speak, he was probably scared to death before he could start beating people.
"Whether we can fight or not, we all have to fight, and if we lose, we can only die!"
“......”
Finally, a few old fellows who were babbling were frightened by death, and they all fell silent. Although they are afraid of death, in a dangerous situation, people's desire to survive will make people calm.
"Alright, each of you is responsible for a wall. Remember, only by fighting to the death can you live, and if you are afraid, you will die. ”
When everyone left, Master Wang, who had been calm and relaxed, suddenly fell soft, if it weren't for the support of his cronies, it is estimated that he would not be able to support it. In fact, he was also very scared in his heart.
"Guo Jia, you bastard villain, damn it!" Although he barely had the strength to stand, Master Wang was still scolding Guo Jia secretly.
At this moment, he blamed all the blame on Guo Jia, and it seemed that Guo Jia was the leader of the Hun army.
***********
"Patriarch, I don't know if Guo Jia escaped." Lei Mu looked at the miscellaneous soldiers in front of him and guessed.
"......" also Lao Ma also fell into thinking, if the enemy who killed his son was not there, wouldn't he be busy in vain?
"Patriarch, are we still going to attack the city?"
"Of course." Ye Lao Ma woke up from his thoughts, obviously made a decision, and said fiercely: "Ye Ma died in Guangwu City, the Han people in Guangwu City are responsible, whether Guo Jia is there or not, they will die!" ”
"Ahh ......" Lei Mu was taken aback, and the old horse was going to slaughter the city: "Patriarch, but these Han people didn't make a move against Lord Yema." ”
"Humph!" The old horse snorted coldly: "No matter how they come out, they will die!" ”
"Why?" Remu asked, puzzled
"Han people are Han people, low people, lowly people, what if you kill them?"
"......" Lei Mu was speechless, not daring to disobey the authority of the patriarch, but something in his heart was shocked.
"Look at these stupid Han people, thinking that they can stop us by piling up some rocks, they are simply killing themselves." However, Lao Ma didn't notice the change in Lei Mu's face at all, and the only thing he thought about at the moment was to avenge his son.
But as the old horse said, there are only half-human high stones piled up at the gate of Guangwu City, which have no effect on the Hun cavalry at all, and any horse can step over with a slight jump.
"Don't stop, everyone, rush in directly from the front, kill no mercy, as long as you kill a person, I will reward him with a sheep." The old horse was not even willing to stop and rest for a while, which showed that he was eager for revenge, and he would reward a sheep for killing ten people, and this reward was absolutely amazing.
But this direct siege of the city shocked Master Wang, according to his vague understanding, didn't the two armies have to call each other a battle before fighting?
In fact, he didn't know that calling each other for battle was only a situation when the Han people fought positional wars, and the aliens did not have this habit at all.
"Quick, archers, shoot!"
"Others throw radium!"
"You, go and inform the other three city wall masters, just say that the Huns are attacking the north with all their might, and I can't hold it anymore!"
In a hurry, Master Wang gave orders in a panic, but don't say it, there is nothing wrong with his commands. There are indeed only a few ways to defend the city in the era of cold weapons.
The battle for the defense of Guangwu City is about to break out.
