Woooooooo

A low horn sound kept coming, shocking the heartstrings of all the Yanmen guards.

Since Heyero was defeated and captured by Liu Jin, the Xiongnu Zuogu Liwang accelerated the march, and tens of thousands of fierce Xiongnu iron cavalry were under the leadership of Ashina, the king of Zuoguli, in the early morning of the next day.

Ashina arranged for the soldiers to camp in the village, and on the other hand, he personally ordered the army to come to call for battle. Liu Jin was asked to fight against the Hun army, but since yesterday's battle with Hierro, the wound on Liu Jin's back was torn again. Liu Jin, who had a recurrence of an old injury, could only stay sick in bed and could not play.

In desperation, Han Tao, the chief general stationed at Yanmen Pass, had no choice but to let Cao Xing, known as a sharpshooter general, replace Liu Jin to face the Xiongnu, so as to delay time.

No, although Cao Xing is good at archery, he is not good at close combat, and he was defeated by Ashina.

Since then, the defenders of Yanmen Pass have no choice but to hang up the exemption card and not fight with Ashina.

Ashina, who was unable to fight, led a large army to attack the city, and attacked the city several times in just one day, causing more than 500 casualties among the defenders.

Listening to the horn of the Huns' attack, Liu Jin could no longer recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and forced his sick body to come to the city again.

"Look, it's Liu Zhannu who is here", many Han soldiers who had seen Liu Jinsheng capture Heyero immediately shouted when they saw Liu Jin on the city wall, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

"Lord Captain, the end will be too late, please ask Lord Captain for forgiveness", Liu Jin said to Han Tao with a pale face.

"It's okay, isn't it for you to recuperate? Why did you go to the city", Han Tao replied with some surprise.

"Your Excellency, the last general is worried about the war situation, and I am here to help in the war, and I ask for your grace." Liu Jin, whose face was bloodless, said in a warlike voice.

"In that case, then you should lead your headquarters to garrison the northern section of the city wall! But you have to keep in mind that commanding operations is what a general should do," Han Tao said.

"The last general will remember the teachings of the adults", as he spoke, Liu Jin said goodbye, turned to look at the northern Guancheng and walked.

The northern part of Yanmen Pass is much higher than the southern city wall, not only that, but this section of the city wall is also the strongest part of the entire Yanmen Pass wall, so the number of Huns who put into the siege here is the least.

It can be said that Han Tao asked Liu Jin to garrison this section of the city wall because of Liu Jin's injuries and the strength of his subordinates. After all, Liu Jin's troops are the smallest among the three garrisons of Yanmen Pass, and they take good care of him.

Waiting on the top of the city tower in the north, Liu Jin carefully checked the troop configuration of the city defense.

This section of the city wall is about 150 steps long, and it was the military marquis Saturday who commanded the defense of the city for Liu Jin before.

On Saturday, when the defense was arranged, one hundred and fifty sergeants were asked to guard the women's wall on the front line with shields. The shieldmen were followed by one hundred and fifty pikemen and one hundred and twenty archers.

If you really want to talk about it, there is nothing wrong with such a troop deployment. Shield-bearers covering pikemen and archers behind them was a common practice for the defenders. However, even if the Xiongnu invested less troops in this section of the 150-step city wall, it was estimated that it would not be less than 3,000 people.

However, it is absolutely unwise to resist the fierce Huns with a weak force of more than 400 people, and it is absolutely unwise to resist the fierce Huns with at least 3,000 people, and such a hard-fought tactic is obviously not in line with the overall strategic situation for the defenders, whose overall strength is absolutely weak.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin immediately changed the allocation of troops. He replaced all the shield bearers with swords and shields for spearmen, and then used one archer and two pikemen to form a small combat group, and then taught how to fight in this small combat group.

As soon as Liu Jin's side finished adjusting the deployment of troops, the Huns began to attack.

I saw that 3,000 Hun cavalry left their beloved war horses and acted as infantry for the siege. These Hun infantry had a scimitar in their hands, some carried a ladder, and some held a brief wooden shield like a snake for more than 20 days.

"The rabble", Liu Jin snorted coldly, with a deep mockery on his face.

Two hundred steps

Both sides are holding their breath, and the big battle is about to break out.

One hundred and fifty steps

This distance was already within range of the archers of the defenders, but strangely enough, the imaginary rain of arrows did not pour down.

One hundred steps

The defenders still did not move, but the Huns did.

A thousand Hun foot soldiers carrying cavalry bows under the command of a thousand commanders drew their cavalry bows and arrows and shot arrows at the city, and in an instant the arrows were like flying locusts, and in a moment they shot the northern section of the city wall of Yanmen Pass like hedgehogs.

Liu Jin in the city tower smiled faintly when he saw this scene, and waved his hand gently. The three hundred pikemen, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rolled on the spot one by one, and all of them hid under the female wall, using the cover of the female wall to avoid the arrows that poured down.

The Huns under the city accelerated their march under the cover of archers, and without a stick of incense, more than 20 ladders were all buckled on the female wall.

The reason why the word buckle is used is because in the war of cold weapons, the ladder is the main siege machine. This siege machine was invented by Lu Ban in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was found in actual warfare. Ordinary ladders are built on the city walls, so they can easily be overturned by the defenders' long hookers, resulting in the entire ladder being overturned.

Later, someone added a wooden or bamboo hook to the top of the ladder, which could fasten the ladder to the city wall from the top down. In this way, it will not be easy for the defenders to overturn the ladder.

More than two dozen sturdy Huns climbed quickly along the ladder fastened to the city wall, and they wondered why their mobile phones did not throw the rolling wood and stones to defend the city.

Soon, they found out they were wrong.

When the first unlucky ghost took the lead in climbing the city wall, he immediately found that three hundred sturdy Han spearmen had already left the pikemanship. The bloodthirsty guns are like beasts that choose people to eat, which is terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is that more than a hundred Han archers with strong bows have already rushed out of the city tower not far away, and behind every two spearmen quickly stands a Han archer with a bent bow and arrows.

As soon as the unlucky ghost jumped up, two sharp spears that had been waiting for a long time stabbed violently with a cold glow. At the same time as the two spears stabbed out, the archers behind them also let go of their hands that were tightly drawn.

Two shots and one arrow took away the last trace of attachment to the world of this unlucky ghost.

Immediately afterward, a stream of hideous Hun infantry climbed the city walls. The soldiers of the Han army, who were waiting for the battle, shouted the slogan of one-two, one-two, and began the massacre.

Relying on the advantage of long weapons, these Han soldiers formed a group, one of them picked up the scimitar of the Huns, and the other stabbed the Huns in front of them. And the archers behind the two of them are sobbing cold, constantly releasing dark arrows to support their comrades in front.

Often, as soon as a Hun jumped into the city, he would be immediately killed by the Han soldiers who had been waiting for a long time. Due to the lack of siege equipment, the Huns were only able to engage in the battle every time more than 20 people on the 20 or so ladders.

Looking at the dead bodies of the Huns lying on the ground, Liu Jin couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness in his heart.

"This is just interest", Liu Jin said secretly in his heart. I don't know if I said it to myself or to the Huns.

The battle continued, and in front of the 300 Han spearmen, at least 700 Huns, who were known for their fierceness, fell in just half an hour.

Due to the melee between the two armies, in order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops, the 1,000 Huns with bows under the city did not dare to release arrows at the head of the city, but threw away their riding bows and drew their scimitars to join the siege battle.

"The master is really a god, and such a villain is really unheard of", Meng Yao, the head of the Xiaowu Guard beside Liu Jin, said stunned.

Why are you stunned?

Because since the battle began, the spearmen of the Han army, who only had three hundred people, had not lost a single one in the fierce battle for half an hour, that is, an hour after Liu Jin's later life, but everyone looked extremely tired.

After all, everyone is desperately stabbing, and the constant killing brings people not only a huge consumption of physical strength, but also a huge pressure on their hearts.

This can't but be said to be a miracle, at least in Meng Yao's opinion.

Liu Jin did not answer, Meng Yao's words. He then ordered: "The general of the enemy army is coming up soon, and the guards are ready."

"No", only twenty people responded in unison.

As if in response to Liu Jin's words, a strong Hun man more than nine feet tall wore an apron like animal skin, and jumped on the city wall bare.

The strong man held a large knife that was a foot long in his hand, and the blade of the big knife revealed a bloodthirsty chill, which made people shudder. (To be continued)

PS: The network cable of the community where the famous general lives is under maintenance, and I don't know how long it will be maintained. Daddy. I finally found an Internet café. I didn't get off work until four o'clock in the morning yesterday, and I got up at eight o'clock to code words, and my mind was completely mushy. I hope that all brothers will come to a wave of collection and recommendation tickets to motivate the famous generals. Thanks
