Chapter 48: The Celestial's Car
At the gate of Jianchang City, the soldiers of the Han army did not line up to attack the formation, but saw the soldiers carrying some thin soft boxes and pushing a siege vehicle, instead of attacking the Eastern Hu army, they hurriedly retreated.
Moyer's eyes lit up suddenly.
Siege Engine! That's a good thing! In fact, not only they did not, there were few siege things in the entire Donghu army, they always lived in tents, rode horses, the sky was their roof, the earth was their courtyard, where would they live in a small city like the Han people? But it is precisely because of this that there are very few siege weapons in the Donghu army, and even if there are them, they are just ladders and the like, siege vehicles, they recognize, but they can't make them. This kind of heavy siege weapon, which is common in the Han army, is a god-like existence for the Donghu people.
And now, this thing is right in front of you!
Moyur's eyes seemed to see the majestic city wall of Shanhaiguan, and in front of the city wall, countless siege vehicles of Donghu people were rapidly approaching.
Yes, the Donghu people don't know how to build a siege vehicle yet, but if they have this siege vehicle, they can still completely imitate it, and at that time, the scene of Fang Cai is no longer a dream, and this siege vehicle will save the lives of many good Donghu boys!
"Chase them!" Moyer made up his mind in a moment.
Now, the purpose of his attack on these Han troops is not only to break through their block, in fact, the Han army is now retreating, if you want to break through the Han army's block, as long as you don't speed up the pursuit, the Han army will naturally get out of the way, but he can't do this, because compared with breaking through the Han army's block, what is more important is this siege vehicle that is not changed!
The commander of the Han army also seemed to understand what the Donghu army was doing, but instead accelerated the pursuit, only to see a thousand-man team quickly unfold and stop on the passage of the Donghu army, and another thousand-man team tightly surrounded the siege vehicle, pushing the siege vehicle backwards and accelerating backwards.
Mowuer has now figured it out, obviously, although the commander of the Han army decided to escape, he refused to leave the siege vehicle to the Donghu army, for fear that the Donghu army would build a siege vehicle, so he must attack with all his strength and must take this siege vehicle into his hands!
"Don't fight!" Mowur shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Our goal is the siege vehicle, don't get entangled with the Han army blocking us!" ”
Behind them, the soldiers of the Donghu Army agreed loudly, of course they understood the meaning of the siege vehicle to them, and for a while, the entire army rushed towards the siege vehicle with all their might.
The Han army's thousand-man squad in charge of blocking seemed to be lacking in courage, and when the Donghu cavalry approached, the thousand-man squad shouted and retreated to both sides, only desperately attacking the Donghu cavalry with bows and arrows.
"Onward, onward!" Mour shouted again, ignoring the sharp arrows whizzing in his ears, his eyes just fixed on the siege engine. He had already planned that once he took the siege car, he would send 1,000 men to protect the chariot and lead the other 2,000 men straight to the flank of the Han army. It's a win-win-win!
The Donghu cavalry braved the rain of arrows on both sides of the Han army to force a breakthrough and rushed towards the siege engine. Without this siege vehicle, the Donghu army might have begun to storm the ranks of the Han army by now, and it would only take a few back and forth to collapse the Han army. However, now, their purpose is siege engines, and even if they are attacked by the Han army with dense bows and arrows, they must not delay for a moment. This matter is to be done at any cost!
The Donghu army is already approaching the siege engine!
I saw an order from a general, and the soldiers of the Han army threw away the boxes and fled backwards, they were afraid, they threw the siege engine to the Donghu people!
"Woo~~~~~ Hu ~~~~~" Mowur roared like a wolf on his horse. He's going to make it!
Behind him, a herald galloped up and shouted at Moyur: "King Xiaoxian has an order, you must grab the siege vehicle!" ”
"I know it!" Moyer roared. Of course he wants to grab it, and he's going to get it now!
The Donghu cavalry rushed straight to the siege vehicle, all of them were excited, and some soldiers had tears in their eyes.
From now on, they no longer need to use ladders to climb the city, and their losses will be reduced by at least fifty percent! For a while, hundreds of people surrounded this precious siege vehicle, and outside, none of the other Donghu soldiers were willing to leave, all looking at this siege vehicle.
"Push back, push the car back!" Moyur ordered continuously, "Divide a thousand-person team to protect this car, and the others will ...... with me" This order was not finished, and with a whoosh, a rocket was fired onto the siege vehicle!
Whoosh, whoosh! Several rockets are here again!
"They're going to burn siege engines!" An East Hucentaugh grew up and shouted.
"Protect the siege engines!" Moygur shouted, "Two thousand-man attack, one thousand-man escort!" ”
For a time, the Donghu army was in chaos, and Mowuer originally planned to attack the rear of the main force of the Han army with two thousand people, but he didn't expect the Han army to burn the siege vehicle with rockets. Normally, the siege vehicles are covered with cowhides full of water, and the rockets can't be lit easily, but now there is not even a piece of cowhide on the siege vehicle, just a wooden shelf.
"Push back, push the siege engine back!" Mo Wuer shouted anxiously, now he is really in a dilemma, should he go all out to protect the siege vehicles or divide his troops to attack the main force of the Han army?
