Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Difficult Battle 2
When Tuoba Jiefen took Wuzhou City, Bu Dugen also brought people to the city of Mayi.
Two or three miles away, Budugen could see the black flag fluttering on the city wall of Mayi. Looking at the faintly visible word "Lu" on the big flag, Bu Dugen's eyes flickered.
Budugen's eldest brother-in-law, that is, the head of the head, was trapped here forever last year, speaking of which, the head of the country should be grateful to this Han city, if it weren't for the head of the head to plant a heel here, the seat of the king of Xianbei would definitely not be his turn.
"Let the blood be given to you today, big brother, see you off!" Budugen muttered in a low voice. He didn't know that the leader was not dead, but had reached an agreement with Lu Bu.
"Prepare for the siege!" Budugen turned his head to look at the huge team divided into two behind him, and a grim brow flashed.
It stands to reason that the two sides should have had some brief contact, such as calling for battles, fighting generals and other actions.
But instead of doing this, Budugen attacked directly.
Originally, Budugen also wanted to demonstrate, but before he could get within 300 steps of the city wall, a long arrow had already flown out of the city wall of Mayi, and Budugen did not react at all in the whistling sound, and he had already heard two sounds of sharp weapons entering the flesh.
"I'm dead?" Budugen touched his forehead covered with cold sweat and asked himself.
"Bang...... Bang......" The sound of the human body falling to the ground called back Budugen's soul. But it was the two elite dead soldiers of the Han Mountain Royal Court who used their bodies to block the arrows.
At a distance of more than 300 steps, an arrow can pierce two people in a row...... If it's within 200 steps, I'm afraid that the people around me won't be able to react, right? Budugen turned his stiff neck and looked at the opposite city wall, only to see a fiery figure standing on the city wall, as breathtaking as the god of war.
"Lu Bu! This person must be Lu Bu! Bu Dugen's heart suddenly appeared a name, where did he dare to approach Ma Yi, waved his hand, attack!
Lu Bu's performance made the warriors from Danhan Mountain angry and angry, and they all shouted that they were determined to attack Mayi City.
The flag fluttering in the wind stands out in the sun.
Gao Shun's defense method is simple.
To be precise, the entire city defense is divided into three parts.
Within 30 miles of Mayi is a barren circle, which implements strict tactics of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and even puts poison into well water.
Huge defensive equipment such as bed crossbows were erected on the city, and all obstacles outside the city within range of bows and arrows were bulldozed.
This is done to clear the shooting angle and blind spots of the line of sight.
Fifty paces below the city is a moat. It is about three zhang deep, and the water is covered with embroidered thorns. Behind the moat was a low wall, piled up with countless flammable materials to obstruct the view of the coalition forces. Behind the low wall, there was also a horse barrier about fifteen paces wide to prevent enemy troops from approaching the wall. After that, about five steps closer to the city wall, there are wooden stakes with dogs' teeth staggered. It is also used to hinder enemy troops from climbing the city and to assassinate fallen enemies.
The defense of the entire Ma Yi can be said to be layered.
Especially since the first emperor, the north has been repeatedly invaded by Xianbei, and Mayi is close to the Great Wall, and its defense has been strengthened.
Budugen led the Xianbei royal court of the headquarters to launch the first round of attacks on the city wall.
Strangely, the head of the city of Mayi was silent, until the Xianbei army was about to enter the trench, and suddenly a strange sound of trumpets came from inside the city. Immediately after, there were countless strange sounds. From the city, strange black dots poured out of the sky and fell towards the city. Those black dots were all thistles after rolling twice. Immediately nailed to the ground.
The Xianbei army, who was caught off guard, stepped on the thistle terrestris everywhere with one foot, and the sharp thorns penetrated the surface of the foot, dripping with blood.
The neat formation became disorganized.
Tribulus terrestris is different from sharp arrows, and shieldholders can't resist it. The most infuriating thing is that if there is an ambush on the ground early, then it is easy to deal with, but such a sudden throw from the city makes the attacking side advance or retreat.
At the same time, the sound of a gong sounded over the city.
I heard a humming sound, as if a locust was flying through the sky, and a black cloud fell from the city.
"Be careful......
With a shout, the shield-bearer habitually erected his shield to defend against arrows.
But the arrows were powerful and heavy, unlike ordinary bows and arrows, all of which were three feet six inches long and the thickness of the female finger.
With unparalleled penetration, it hit the shield continuously, penetrating the wooden shield and shattering the shield even more. The shieldmen in the first row were pinned to the ground before they could react. Screams echoed in the air. The Xianbei people had almost no defense, and the simple wooden shield was still improvised, and countless people fell to the ground in an instant.
Crossbow ......
An old soldier in Budugen's army couldn't help but exclaim, and even Budugen wanted Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
This crossbow has appeared since the Warring States Period, and the strong Qin relied on its strong crossbow blade to sweep the six countries. But it is also strange to say, since the Han Dynasty, especially since Emperor Wu, the use of crossbows has gradually become scarce or even declined.
The reason for this is related to the situation of the enemy at that time.
The enemies of the Great Han came mainly from the grasslands. Whether it is a crossbow or a bed crossbow, this kind of sharp weapon used for siege is relatively reduced. In their place, lighter crossbow bolts were used for more flexible combat.
No one thought that Mayi, which was not the northernmost part of the Han Dynasty, would have so many crossbows and bed crossbows.
Only one round of arrows completely exposed the Xianbei army to the bow and arrows. Following the rain of arrows, the Xianbei army, which had lost its protection, was almost wiped out under the city of Mayi. Even if someone was lucky enough to escape, it was drenched in blood and covered in wounds.
To be precise, a few thousand soldiers and horses are nothing to the entire Xianbei tribe. But for Budugen, it is a nerve-wracking, the tribe he can control is only tens of thousands of people, and the Han people have a few thousand fewer in a round of strafing, so it won't be long before Budugen will become a loner.
Budugen bit his lip and roared: "This Han dog is so cunning, damn it, when will Tuoba Jiefen and Kebi arrive?" ”
Tie Shan, the leader of the Luo tribe, shook his head but did not speak.
He looked at the tragic situation on the battlefield on the slope where the Chinese army was.
Dead bodies were scattered all over the city, and the red blood seemed to tell Tie Shan that if he wanted to take Mayi, he would have to give his life in exchange. Unconsciously Tieshan's face appeared in front of the king's face, the dead king Tan Shihuai is so heroic, under his leadership, Xianbei can not break the Great Wall of the Han people, now with this straw bag, is it really okay?
"Can anyone tell me what the Han people used to throw these iron things out?" Budugen couldn't help but ask his subordinates.
"Stone-throwing ......" Tie Shan still recalls the past decades ago in his mind.
"The king still doesn't fight anymore today, the morale of the army is low, and if you continue to fight, you will be sent to death, why don't you repair on the spot and wait for others to come before attacking? The siege can only rely on the Han people, we still have to wait for the people from Jizhou to come before we act, at least we must ask the Han people for siege equipment. Tie Shan said helplessly.
If you continue to fight, you can only send you to death!
Budugen had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops and hastily end the short battle. The battlefield was littered with corpses, and the bloody corpses that were pierced by the huge pruning of the bed crossbow spread the thick bloody breath in the sky with the wind, which made people feel cold.
In the first battle, Bu Dugen, the ambitious Xianbei King, received a setback.
"Lord...... Why not dig a horse pit? "In the city of Mayi, although he repelled the Xianbei people without spending a single soldier, Gao Shun seems to be a little dissatisfied with this result.
"Yizhong's heart is anxious...... Although it consumes a lot of pruning and ironware, it buys time! With time, there is hope to win! Lu Bu didn't seem to be at all annoyed by the fact that he didn't shoot an arrow at the head of the city to kill the Xianbei lord.
"But their number will only increase, and when hundreds of thousands of people surround Ma Yi, we will be powerless!" Although Gao Shun was not afraid of battle, his loyalty to Lu Bu made him have to give his opinions repeatedly. After all, this war is a matter of life and death.
"Let's surround it, the more people we surround, the more sure we are! The longer you surround it, the easier it will be to win! It's just that we're going to be a little bitter! Lu Bu seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, patted the anxious Gao Shun, and turned around and went down the city wall.
"Come on! Come on! If you can't kill me, you can take your life! Lu Bu screamed in his heart.
