Chapter 327: Cavalry Captures the City

"General, since the beginning of March, there have been scattered casualties among the rangers sent out in the city, and yesterday there were dozens of casualties at once, and Wuxiang basically lost contact with the surroundings."

In Shangdangwu Township, Liu Gan, the defender in the city, was frightened by the Liaodong Army that was rushing towards him, but now he was shocked when he got the news that the rangers had disappeared. As a veteran general who has led the army for many years, Liu Gan knows very well what it means for the ranger to disappear.

The subordinate trembled his lips and asked, "Will ...... General, is the Jin army coming? ”

"Well, nine times out of ten, the Jin army is coming, so I don't know who led the troops?"

Without waiting for Liu Gan to guess it himself, the Jin army vanguard appeared under Wuxiang City. Liu Gan stood at the head of the city and took a look, only to see a cavalry outside the city, and the first member of the Jin Dynasty was majestic.

Originally, Liu Gan was nothing, but he fixed his eyes and looked at it, and after seeing the face of the Jin general, he was suddenly stunned, and pointed at the Jin general with a pale face: "North...... Kitamiya Jun! ”

As a Xiongnu general, there is no one who has never heard of Beigong Chun, and the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry under Beigong Chun and his command left a deep impression on the Huns, so that when Beigong Chun was mentioned, many Huns were scared of two wars.

"I heard that Beigong Chun fled to Liaodong, but I didn't expect to meet him here, this is trouble!"

Liu Gan seemed to think of something with a headache, his brows couldn't help frowning, and there was a faint worry in his words.

At noon, although the spring day was already in the middle of the day, it did not bring a trace of warmth to the Huns in the city, and the spring breeze blew like a steel knife to make the Huns cold.

The Liaodong Iron Cavalry lined up under the city of Wuxiang, and Beigong Chun looked up at the Huns who were close at hand, his eyes were full of cruelty and coldness. Since the Jinyang Tong came out of the front, there was basically no resistance along the way, and it was not until after entering Shangdang County that Beigong Chun felt the resistance from the Huns.

"Today, let the Hulu people see what a cavalry is!"

The high-spirited Beigong Chun didn't take the Huns in the city seriously at all. And he didn't plan to wait for the infantry behind him to come up, and agreed to try the newly trained cavalry.

Knock knock! The sound of war drums suddenly sounded, which shocked the hearts of the Huns on the city wall, and their eyes stared straight at the Liaodong cavalry who were moving in unison, and many Huns trembled a little with their legs and feet. Even if Liu Gan repeatedly encouraged him, it was useless, and many Huns couldn't help but feel worried when they thought of Beigong Chun.

Beigong Chun watched this scene. He shouted, "Everyone! The Huns are brutal and ferocious, and treat my Jin people like pigs and dogs! once owed a blood debt in Luoyang City, and how innocent are the people of Luoyang? As a result, after the Huns, every family in the Central Plains wore filial piety, and every household wept! Now their retribution has come, they will go into the city and take revenge on the Xiongnu for the suffering they once inflicted on the Jin people. ”

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

"Kill into the city, no chickens and dogs will be left!"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing. The Huns in the city turned pale with fright, and they never thought that they would also be reduced to fish and meat to be slaughtered one day.

The offensive of the Liaodong cavalry was very violent, and the 9,000 cavalry had been specially trained for more than half a year, but now they did not have a trace of rustiness when they first entered the battlefield, but they were like fingers. Without waiting for the Huns to react, they saw a long arrow covering the sky and covering the face.

The Liaodong standard bow and crossbow were significantly more powerful and penetrating than the previous bow and arrow. As a result, the Hun defenders were caught off guard and were poured on the head by a rain of arrows. Suddenly! Poof...... Poof! The sound of arrows piercing flesh and bones was endless. How could the Huns stand this, they immediately cried and screamed, and they were even more panicked than just now.

Liu Gan curled up in a thick shield and shouted at his subordinates: "Brothers, don't be afraid, the Jin army outside is all cavalry. We will definitely not be able to attack the city, hurry up and prepare the rolling wood and stones, as long as we hold on, Your Majesty will definitely send reinforcements to save us! ”

After shooting the first round of arrow rain, Beigong Chun commanded the cavalry to shoot around the city again. The arrows shot by the Jin army almost covered the four city walls, and the Huns, who were still crowded on the city walls just now, became sparse in the blink of an eye. The surviving Huns huddled in the corners and shivered.

At this time, there was already a great chaos on the city wall, and some Hun soldiers were even more frightened and fled to the city with shouts. The guard general Liu Gan killed more than a dozen people one after another before gradually stabilizing the situation, while the Liaodong cavalry under the city still methodically rode their horses to the city wall, bending their bows and arrows.

The sharp bows and crossbows of the Liaodong cavalry and the abundant arrows set off waves of arrow rain attacks, firmly suppressing the Huns on the head of the city and unable to move. Just a few rounds of arrow rain cost the Huns hundreds of casualties and greatly weakened the morale of the defenders in the city.

The Huns basically couldn't defend the city, but Liu Gan didn't have the courage to go out of the city and fight Beigong Chun, so he could only watch the defenders die in vain under the bows and arrows of the Liaodong cavalry.

"Stop!" Beigong Junyi waved his hand to stop the bow and arrow attack, hit his horse forward, and shouted at the Huns on the head of the city: "After a stick of incense, open the door and surrender, or you can be spared death!" If you resist to the end, you will slaughter the city! After the city was broken, the chickens and dogs were not left, and the Huns were killed! ”

The murderous declaration made the entire Wuxiang city wall silent, and the Huns, who had not yet recovered from the fierce arrow attack, were suddenly frightened stupid. Many people muttered in their hearts, is this still the country of the Jin people who are full of benevolence and righteousness? When did the pedantic Jin people learn the cruelty of the steppe people?

Liu Gan swallowed a mouthful of spit, looked around, but found that the Hun soldiers were trembling, obviously stupid by Beigong Chun. In fact, he is not stupid, he knows that Wuxiang cannot be defended, even if the cavalry of Beigong Chunsuo cannot attack the city, but as long as the follow-up Jin infantry arrives, Wuxiang will not be spared.

"General, your hand is too beautiful, first deterrent with force, and then intimidate with words, are you afraid that the Huns in the city will not obediently go out of the city and surrender?" The record officer joined the army with admiration.

Over the years, Beigong Chun has touched Hu Ren's temperament thoroughly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Hmph! If you want to deal with Hu Lu, you have to subdue them first, otherwise they won't listen to you if you say hundreds of good things! ”

"General, if the Huns insist on not surrendering, you won't really let the cavalry dismount and do the work of the infantry, right?"

"How is that possible!" Beigong Chun glared at the record of joining the army angrily, "This general has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, how can you let the cavalry dismount and become an infantry envoy?" The infantry will soon follow, and besides, this cavalry has been trained by me and your old brothers with great effort, and it can't be wasted on siege and fortification! ”

The Liaodong cavalry standing silently under the city brought great pressure to the Huns in the city. More and more Xiongnu soldiers have realized that there is only a dead end to resist, and there may be a glimmer of life in the surrender of Kaesong, so some people who are active and active think about surrendering.

At present, the guard general Liu Gan is in a cold sweat, this Beigong Chun is too powerful, and it suddenly hit the death hole of the Huns in the city. Since the death of Liu Cang and the defeat of Liu Yao, the Liaodong Army has become a nightmare in the hearts of the Huns. In the face of the threat of the famous Liaodong Army, there is not a single Hun who will not take it to heart.

"Will ...... General, ...... Why don't we go down? A Hun lieutenant suggested with a pale face.

Liu Gan just wanted to scold the other party for a few words, but when he looked up, he saw that the rest of the Xiongnu generals looked like they were concerned, and the words that were about to be spoken were swallowed back by them.

"Yes, General! Anyway, we are all soldiers who became soldiers later, and we have never been to the Central Plains to make trouble, and we have no blood debts in our hands. Although the Liaodong Army said that it hated the Hu people to the core, it still left a way for ordinary Hu people to live. I heard that there are many ordinary Xianbei people who have settled in Liaodong! ”

"Yes, General, our family is in the city. If we insist on resisting, even if the Liaodong cavalry in front of us has no way to take us, but when the main force of the Liaodong Army arrives behind, how can we be opponents with the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city? ”

As soon as the topic of surrender opened, it could no longer be stopped. Many people persuaded Liu Gan to open the city and surrender, so that Liu Gan couldn't resist even if he wanted to. After all, if most of the middle and low-level generals have no will to fight, Liu Gan has no way to do business. (To be continued.) )
