Chapter 239: Storming Sunit
Li Quan saw that the north and south gates had begun to feint, and with a wave of his hand, twenty divine locomotives lined up and moved forward. These locomotives are equipped with a row of iron tubes, which are improved flying spear launch tubes, which are not only fast and powerful, but also accurate, and even more rare, because the iron tubes can move up and down, left and right, even if they do not move the god locomotive, they can also transfer the attack target of the flying spear.
Now, the tubes are tilted upwards, pointing at the city walls.
A group of Han infantry rushed up with bamboo poles pretending to be attacking, and at the same time, at the west gate, the shouts were loud, and a group of Han soldiers rushed up with a ladder.
In the city, the figures of the Huns swayed, and many people ran from other cities to the west.
It is obvious that the other three Han armies were feints, and the real attack was at the West Gate, because the few cloud ladders of the Han army were concentrated at the West Gate.
Li Quan saw that the Xiongnu forces had been mobilized to the West Gate, and waved his hand again.
A small car was pushed out of the ranks of the Han army.
This cart is not big, that is, a single cart, the cart is covered with iron plates, you can't see what is in the car, there are ten Han soldiers on the left and right to protect each other, the cart is pushing forward with a grunt, closely following behind the god locomotive, at the same time, dozens of flag bearers wave the big flag in front and behind the car, the performance seems to be to inspire morale, in fact, these flags are used to cover the car, the car is very small, the flag waved, it is easy to be covered up and not seen.
Several generals looked at the cart with a sigh of relief, and they knew that the hope of breaking through the city gate was in this cart. The things in the car are all that Li Quan has now, and he can only succeed once, and once he fails, it is impossible to do it again.
The Huns in the city did not notice the situation at the east gate. Because the attack from the west was obvious, the other three sides were the same, and even the flags were waving, and there were also carts moving forward, but the other two carts were empty, and the Han army's attack was mainly preparing to climb the city, not attacking the city gate, so although the attention of the Huns did not particularly ignore this cart, they did not pay special attention to it.
Halfway through the car, the flying spears on the god locomotive began to fire, the flying spears carried the wind, directly hit the city, some of the flying spears directly pierced the body of the Hun soldiers in the city, and even beat the Hun soldiers into the air, some lost their heads, hit the city wall, even if the flying spear hit the city wall, the bricks and stones of the city wall flew around, and the dust was flying.
The cart continued under the cover of the flying spear, and after a short time, an arrow struck the soldier who was pushing the cart, and the soldier screamed and fell to the ground.
The hearts of several generals were about to jump out of their throats.
Fortunately, the guards on the side immediately took over the small soldiers and continued to push, and the arrow just now obviously didn't find anything abnormal, just grabbed a random target and shot.
Twenty feet away from the city gate, the Huns' arrows were dense, and the soldiers waving the flag were shot down several times in a row, and had to stop, so that the cart was revealed. Seeing that the cart was exposed, the centurion who led the army waved his hand and led the soldiers to push the cart straight to the city gate.
This time, the Huns finally noticed the anomaly here.
Although the West Gate shouted the loudest, but the ladder did not rush to the city for a long time, the car at the north and south gates had stopped at a safe distance, and the Han soldiers who seemed to be going to forcibly climb the city only thundered and did not rain, shouting loudly and slowly, and did not forcibly climb the city. Of all these scenes, only this little car is really approaching the city gate at a rapid pace!
The Hun soldiers in the city shouted, although they didn't know what this cart was, but since only this cart was approaching quickly, it was naturally not a good thing, and the soldiers fired arrows at the cart one after another. Li Quan had been closely observing the movements in the city, and when he saw that the Hun army had discovered the abnormality of the cart, he immediately ordered: "Release the crossbow!" ”
A wind roared, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, a crossbow arrow was shot at the head of the city, and the crossbow arrow was like an impermeable arrow wall, which pressed straight towards the Hun army at the head of the city.
The Hun army on the city screamed and dodged, some squatting, some lying down, and some even rolling down the city. They knew too much about the power of the repeater, and no less than 200,000 people were injured by the repeater, which they really couldn't afford to mess with.
The soldiers pushing the cart were replaced by another one, and there were only eight of the twenty soldiers left at this time, and even the centurion who led the team had been killed, and each of the eight people pushed the cart, and the seven guards, frantically attacked the city gate under the cover of the crossbow.
The crossbow was fired in five waves, and had to be suspended because the crossbow bolts had to be replanted, and at this time the cart was only less than two feet away from the city gate, and the eight soldiers rushed forward desperately.
Suddenly, a few pieces of rolling wood and stones were thrown down from the city, and the three soldiers were crushed and their flesh flew sideways, and they died before they could scream. The soldiers pushing the cart struggled to move the cart to avoid these rolling logs and stones, but after all, the trolley was not as flexible as a person, and a piece of rolling wood fell from the city gate and smashed straight down to the trolley!
Even Wei Changfeng shouted. If it hits this time, I'm afraid that this siege will fail, and there will be no second chance!
The guards on the side of the cart suddenly shouted, three soldiers jumped up together, and one soldier rushed to the cart.
With a bang, the rolling log fell, but the three soldiers pushed desperately and pushed most of the rolling log away from the trolley, although there was still a small section on the trolley, but this small section was smashing on the soldier who was protecting the trolley, and the soldier was smashed to the flesh and blood, and died immediately, but the trolley was unharmed.
The last soldier of the remnant flipped the cart, and took the corpse of the soldier lying on the cart to the side like a broken sack, and then pushed the cart into the cave of the city gate. In this way, unless the Huns opened the city gates, there was no way to hurt the soldier again.
Several generals breathed a sigh of relief. Zheng Kejin said: "I'll prepare" and turned around and got on the horse.
Wei Changfeng also straightened up immediately, ready to attack at any time. Although Zheng Kejin's divine power is very strong, after all, it is extremely dangerous to assault the city gate, in case Zheng Kejin fails to break through, he will use the Tai'a Sword in his hand to attack the city gate.
When the soldier saw that he had finally pushed the cart to the city gate, he breathed a sigh of relief, put the cart horizontally against the city gate, and pulled out a rope from behind the cart.
The soldier pulled out the rope, which was made of linen soaked with grease, and was very flammable, and took out the torch from under the cart, took the flint and lit it, lit the torch, and was about to light the rope, when he threw a stone behind him.
The soldier was startled, turned to look, only to see the city like arrows raining down, rocks kept throwing, obviously, the Hun soldiers also realized that this small car was very likely to be used to open the city gate, but if you want to use a small car to open the city gate, there is only one way: blow it up.
However, whether it is the Huns or the Han people before, there has never been such a powerful explosion to blow up the heavy city gate, although there is an alchemy Taoist priest invented a thing called gunpowder, but this thing is difficult and dangerous to make, even if it is made, it can only be stuffed in a paper tube to be lit during the New Year, listen to it, see a light, it is for firecrackers, want to use it to blow up the city gate, it is really impossible, not to mention that if you want to make explosives for this small car, I am afraid that it will take several years of work to mobilize the power of the whole country.
However, now it seems that the cart is actually filled with explosives that could blow open the city gates!
As soon as they thought of this, how could the Huns endure it, and they threw arrows and stones at the city gate, with obvious intentions: if you want to blow up the city gate, you can't go back, you can only ascend to heaven with this small car.
In the city, there are Huns shouting loudly in Chinese to the city gate, although they can't hear what they are calling from a distance, but they can guess that they are threatening the Han soldiers: if you don't light the fire, let you live, if you light the fire, you will never run away before the car explodes.
The soldier hesitated for a moment, tried outside the city gate, and saw that he could not return in the rain of arrows, and was in a dilemma for a while.
The Huns in the city shouted again, and this time they only faintly heard half of the sentence: "...... I'll let you go back! ”
It seems that they are still negotiating terms with this Han soldier, as long as this soldier does not light a fire, he can survive.
The soldier looked at the Han army formation behind him, and suddenly bowed deeply in the direction of the military flag, turned around, and lit the fire!
A huge explosion sounded, and the explosives in the car scattered fragments of the city gate, and the soldier was also crushed to pieces in the huge explosion.
Wei Changfeng closed his eyes.
He really wanted to erect a monument for this soldier, although he also knew that there were countless brave soldiers like this, and if he wanted to erect a monument, the land of the Han Dynasty would be full of heroic monuments of soldiers, however, he still couldn't help but pay tribute to this soldier in the depths of his heart.
Every victory, the generals are triumphant, rewarded and promoted, however, who knows that those soldiers who stand in the audience and cheer are the real heroes? Every inch of the Han Dynasty is soaked in the blood of these ordinary soldiers, and without these ordinary soldiers, those generals who look forward to their arrogance on the stage can only be regarded as crazy.
But it is still the generals who are famous, and these soldiers can only die silently with the grass and trees.
The shouts were loud, and Zheng Kejin had already rushed forward.
Zheng Kejin held a weapon in each hand.
It wasn't a sword, it wasn't a gun stick, it was two huge maces! These two maces are half longer than ordinary maces, thicker circles, Zheng Kejin holds maces in both hands, and rushes straight on his horse, the maces dance like wheels, and the Huns' arrows have been taken away before they can shoot at him. Behind him, thousands of elite soldiers followed closely and rushed towards the city gates.
Bai Qi looked at Li An and said with a smile: "General Li, how many other things do you have?" If there are a few more carts, our Han army will not have to use any ladders. ”
Li An sighed: "Where is it so easy?" I call this thing a thunderbolt, but the explosives here have to be refined with countless wolf fat, and I have accumulated to this day, but I only have this small car, and I can use it all at this time. ”
