The Chinese army camp in Maudun, the Hun heralds who came and went did not stop for a moment, and reported the battle situation on the southeast, north and south sides to Maudun, who was staring at the tall Jiuyuan city wall.

When he heard that the Donghu cavalry had not been hit by the terrifying giant crossbow arrows from the city wall after entering the city wall for 800 steps, Mao Dun, who had been standing still and expressionless, had a wave in his eyes.

The earth-shattering sound and the piercing scream of the large repeating crossbow machine on the head of Jiuyuan City could be heard clearly even by him in the west of the city. It can overwhelm the sound of the hooves of the horses galloping at the same time of 30,000 Donghu cavalry and the sound of nearly 100,000 Donghu cavalry shouting and killing, and the power does not need to be tested to know what to do.

Maudun was not a reckless man, although this trip to the south seemed to many Xiongnu nobles to be hasty. But Maudun doesn't think so. Because he had done a lot of homework before going south.

Whether it is the strength or deployment of the Jiuyuan Army, although Mao Dun can't say that he knows everything, at least he knows everything. Not to mention the Qin army's famous strong crossbow.

"Collect the troops!"

Mao Dun, who had been standing still, withdrew his gaze from staring at Jiuyuan City, and said abruptly.

Although the casualties of the Donghu cavalry were not enough to break his muscles and bones, they told Mao Dun a very clear fact. That is, the Xiongnu's biggest reliance far exceeded that of the Qin army, nearly three times the strength of the army, and it was basically useless in front of this fortified city.

Unless, Mao Dun has a giant repeating crossbow machine that can suppress the terrifying range and great power on the head of the city, and a powerful crossbow that can effectively defend against the Qin army's range far beyond the strong bow in the hands of his own warriors.

Thinking of the small crossbow that Qin Jun was equipped with, but with amazing power, Mao Dun's eyes couldn't help but shrink. He seemed to see the Donghu cavalry approaching the city wall and entering the range of the Jiuyuan Army's strong crossbows, facing the dense rain of crossbow arrows that seemed to be covering the sky from the Qin army.

Jiuyuan City can't be stormed!

It was a thought that came to Maudun's mind less than two quarters of an hour after the first assault began. Therefore, he simply gave the order to withdraw the troops.

When Su Bu Baye and the others, who were standing behind Mao Dun, heard Mao Dun's words, they were all stunned.

This has just carried out the first siege, why is it necessary to collect troops?

"Collect the troops!" Mao Dun didn't look back, just raised his voice and said stiffly.

This time, Mao Dun went south to get rid of the Zuo Xian King (Mao Dun's son, Mao Dun did not set up the Right Xian King), the left and right Gu Li King (Mao Dun's descendants can only be served), the left and right Gu Du Hou (the head of the Xiongnu ministers with different surnames, Zuo Dan Yu is in power, only the Huyan clan, the Lan clan, and the Xu Bu clan are qualified to serve) These five important ministers did not follow Mao Dun to the south, and the remaining left and right generals, left and right captains, left and right Dadanghu and other Xiongnu ministers all accompanied Mao Dun to the south.

Subu Baye is not only the chief of Mao Dun's personal guard, but also the son of the Su Bu clan, and the Huyan clan and the Lan clan also have descendants who follow Mao Dun south. And like the Subu Page, all are ten thousand horsemen.

It's just that the status of Mao Dun Shan Yu's personal guard Wan Cavalry Commander is naturally different from that of the leading Wan Cavalry Commander.

This time everyone heard the two words that came out of the mouth of the great Maudun.

"Yes! The great Maudon Shan Yu! ”

Subu Varpage prostrated respectfully on the ground and bowed respectfully to Maudun, who was standing on horseback.

When Maudun's side had already decided to withdraw his troops, the Donghu cavalry under the three city walls in the southeast and north rushed fast, and now they were less than three hundred steps away from the city wall.

Two hundred steps.

The Donghu cavalry was desperately whipping the war horses under their crotch, and many of the forwards had already entered the range of the Jiuyuan Army's strong crossbows.

One hundred and eighty steps.

The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army on the city wall, who had good eyesight, could even clearly see the fierce expressions on the faces of the Donghu cavalry. And, of course, fear.

"Buzz!"

The air seemed to tremble suddenly, and the moment it appeared with a piercing buzzing scream that made the scalp tingle, a long black cloud appeared at the head of Jiuyuan City, seemed to pause for a moment, and then suddenly accelerated from a high altitude and pounced towards the galloping Donghu cavalry.

Hearing the screams on the city wall, all the Donghu cavalry were shocked, and immediately all the Donghu cavalry moved in unison. Tightly hugging the neck of the war horse under his crotch, he turned his body lightly and hid under the horse's belly.

Whether it was the Xiongnu or the Donghu, in the absence of solid armor and shields, facing the powerful crossbow in the hands of the Qin army with a range far exceeding the strong bow in their hands, this may be the only way to effectively avoid the killing of the Qin army's crossbow arrows.

"Woooooo

The short and high-pitched sound of the huge horn suddenly resounded throughout Jiuyuan City before the cloud of crossbow arrows had penetrated into the body of the Donghu cavalry.

Hearing this horn, all the Donghu cavalry who were about to face the blow of the Qin army's strong crossbow really wanted to say, "Nima, pit daddy!" As long as they know it, of course.

At the same time as the horn sounded, the Donghu people who were still running desperately with more than 100 long ladders in the rear were slightly stunned, and then scrambled to turn around and retreat desperately.

The large repeating crossbow machine on the wall of Jiuyuan City did not hit the Donghu cavalry, firstly because of the short distance, and secondly, because it was to wait for these Donghu foot soldiers who followed the Donghu cavalry's buttocks.

Although the Donghu infantry had not yet enjoyed the long giant spears that burst out from the city's head, they could imagine the power of these giant crossbow arrows just by looking at the lush forest that suddenly grew under the city wall and the Donghu people who were crucified to the ground with their men and horses.

And the formation of the foot soldiers obviously could not be as scattered as the cavalry, and they could not be scattered. If you were to receive an attack from a large repeating crossbow, the damage you would take would be several times that of the Donghu infantry.

No one wants to die.

For the Donghu cavalry who was about to face the explosion of the crossbow arrow cloud of the Jiuyuan Army, the horn of the troops who wanted to scold their mother was tantamount to the sound of heaven in the ears of these foot soldiers. Naturally, it is to use the strength to feed as fast as you can, and how fast to run.

The cloud of crossbow arrows, which was completely composed of small black crossbow arrows eight inches long, instantly rushed into the Donghu cavalry formation.

Blood flowers burst out, and people turned on their backs.

The Donghu cavalry that rushed into the range of the Jiuyuan Army's strong crossbow was suddenly hit by the destruction of the surname, and the dense cloud of crossbow arrows easily broke through the rudimentary sheepskin robes of the Donghu cavalry, tearing their skin and muscles, and burrowing into their bodies.

Although the Donghu cavalry hiding in the neck of the war horse or under the belly of the horse avoided these deadly cute crossbow arrows, the war horse under their crotch could not run. Horses were turned into hedgehogs by the crossbow arrows that fell from the city, and they were killed before they even neighed.

The war horse died, and the Donghu cavalry hiding under the horse's belly could not escape either. The galloping war horse fell to the ground and caused no less damage to the Donghu cavalry under the horse's belly than the lovely black crossbow arrows of the Jiuyuan Army, and even survived and could not die.

The original green ground where the Donghu cavalry was located was suddenly replaced by a black patch, and of course red. Sanguine.

Not all the Donghu cavalry has already entered the range of the Jiuyuan Army's strong crossbows, because it is scattered, naturally some people are left behind. The Donghu cavalry, who originally fell behind and thought they were unlucky, saw the tragic situation in front of them, and immediately rejoiced in their hearts. He turned his horse's head and ran toward his own rank.

The Huns suddenly withdrew their troops, which was unexpected by the Jiuyuan Army, after all, judging from the charge of the Donghu cavalry just now, it is obvious that the Huns are really going to attack the city, not to test.

In the wave of crossbow arrows just now, basically none of the Donghu cavalry who entered the three city walls ran away, either being shot into hedgehogs by crossbow arrows, or being crushed or crushed by the fallen war horses.

On three walls, a rain of crossbow arrows killed at least more than 10,000 cavalry within 200 steps of the city walls.

Seeing that after the sound of the horn, the Hun cavalry who had been desperately galloping all turned their horses and fled back. The rapid sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the walls of Jiuyuan City.

The creaking sound of the roots of the teeth resounded on the city walls.

Originally, Zhang Xian was ready to deal with the large burst of fire that followed the cavalry's buttocks, but under the action of the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, they adjusted their positions one after another, aiming at the retreating Donghu cavalry.

The Donghu cavalry ran very fast, and the distance of hundreds of paces passed in the blink of an eye.

Just after 500 paces, the large repeating crossbow machine on the city wall once again made an earth-shattering sound. Nearly 10,000 giant crossbow arrows once again rushed towards the retreating Donghu cavalry.

By the time the Donghu cavalry ran out of the range of the large continuous crossbow machine in Jiuyuan City, the distance of more than 1,000 steps was no less than a year for the Donghu cavalry. Whenever the city behind them sounded, the only thing the Donghu cavalry could do was to beg for the blessing of the immortals. Then he closed his eyes and desperately urged the war horse under his crotch.

By the time all the Donghu cavalry returned to their main formation, half of the 30,000 cavalry that had charged. The remaining 15,000 Donghu cavalry were also devastated and depressed. The hum, the ringing is no less than the sound of the soul for everyone.

Mohur is on the east wall of Jiuyuan City, and the remaining north and south sides are led by the Xiongnu's left and right Dadanghu to lead 200,000 Donghu cavalry. In this anticlimactic siege battle, the three of them saw the end from the beginning.

After a short battle of less than half an hour, of course, it can also be called a one-sided massacre. Even the big Huns on the left and right who had grown their eyes to the top of their heads knew that if they wanted to take the Jiuyuan City, they might not be able to break through the city even if they filled all the 300,000 Donghu cavalry.

The losses of the Donghu cavalry were quickly counted and reported to Mao Dun, who had returned to the large tent of Shanyu. The loss of so much without even approaching the city wall cast a shadow on the hearts of the Xiongnu generals who rejoiced at the retreat of the Jiuyuan army.

Mao Dun had been standing in the big tent with his hands behind his back, looking at the map in front of him, even if he heard such heavy losses from the Donghu people, he did not say anything about it. No one knows what the great Maudon Shan Yu was thinking.

The great Mao Dun did not speak, and the rest of the Hun generals in the big tent did not dare to speak. The atmosphere of the big tent was suddenly extremely dull.

"Subu Page!" Mao Dun, who was looking at the map, said abruptly.

"Great Maudun Shan Yu, your humble servant Sub Var hears your call!" Subu Var Page is as respectful and horse-like as ever.

"Go and dispatch a team of 60,000 people, ride two horses around this Jiuyuan City, and enter the Qin people's clouds, Yanmen, and Shangdi." He didn't look back.

"Yes, great Maudun Shan Yu!"
