The situation of the war is changing rapidly, the previous moment was still the Xiongnu dominated the siege plan, and within a few days it became the Han army to the north to seek a decisive battle, the main force of Zuo Xian Wang's 40,000 cavalry faced the threat of the main force of the 120,000 Han army, and his 120,000 army was distributed in the three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Shanggu, with 40,000 against 120,000 had no chance of winning, so he did not hesitate to retreat to the north of Kouzi. ~
Tian Wei was very proud for a few days, although he took the initiative to seek fighters without success, but he also succeeded in achieving the goal of driving away the Hun army.
It's just that he didn't expect the Huns to go fast, the Huns who had just walked on the front foot went south again, and the Hun cavalry that came over again was even larger, and the main force from the north was the main force of Da Danyu, and the combined main force was about 200,000 Hun cavalry, which was overwhelmingly killed.
Under the city, the red banner covers the sky and the sun, and the 200,000 army abandons a big banner in front of it, and the golden wolf head roars in the sky, that is the royal flag of the Huns.
The Han army at the head of the city was waiting for the battle, the Taishou Guan Fu silently stared at the bright red banner like blood, the Huns wore the left color, the banner was still red, wearing tattoos, unfilial to their parents, with courage and martial supremacy, such as beasts.
The Han people looked down on the barbarism and stupidity of the Huns, but they would not underestimate the strength of the Xiongnu army, especially when the Xiongnu Dadan appeared in Yanmen County, even the arrogant and rude Yanmen Taishou had to deal with it carefully.
The more than 10,000 defenders in Shanwu City are not without support, and the 120,000 Han army camps on the hillside ten miles south of the city are each other's horns, and it is not so simple for the Huns to attack the city.
"Are the Huns going to attack the city?"
The bushman keenly smelled something was wrong. The next time he saw the Huns alone in the main army, he was also muttering in his heart that this Huns were really different. In the past, when encountering the Hun army, there would not be a strict military appearance, perhaps this was the housekeeping skill of stealing the Han army.
A Hun man in gorgeous armor rushed out of the black oppressive military formation. Rushing towards the gate of the city of goodness, the degree is getting faster and faster, and the gate is getting closer and closer.
The Han army at the head of the city became more and more surprised, and the Huns were crazy, and hitting the city gate with cavalry was tantamount to hanging the old birthday star.
When the cavalry was less than a stone's throw away from the city, the Hun warrior took out his war bow out of nowhere, raised his hand and three arrows and went straight to the Han army general on the city tower.
Be careful!
The bushman was alarmed in his heart, and before he could react, he was pressed down by two personal guards.
Three sharp arrows brushed down on the pillar behind the bushman, and if it weren't for the guards beside him, he was held down in time. The little life of the bushman may have to be explained here, and what is even more unbelievable is that the arrow is tied to the silk cloth war book.
The Xiongnu Da Dan Yu said that last year's heavy snow made the Huns unable to eat, and they needed to go to the pasture of the Han brothers to eat, and afterwards compensated one million sheep Yunyun.
"Bastard, bullshit!"
The bushman was eager to tear the text to shreds, and the Huns were using bandit logic. I'm poor so I'm going to rob you, you're rich so I'm going to rob you, whether you're working hard or other factors, I'm going to rob you.
The horn sounded.
Suddenly, thousands of sheepskin drums were deafening.
The Xiongnu messenger returned to its original place. The Huns were ready to storm the city.
"What? You say there are siege equipment in the Hun camp? ”
Ten miles away from the Han army camp, Tian Wei held the telescope and turned around anxiously, never expecting that the Huns would also attack the city. What's even more odious is that the siege technology came from Wei's Joseon, and the Han army's sudden betrayal disrupted the position. Tian Wei finally realized the trickiness of the situation, even though it was ten miles away. You can still hear the drums and trumpets of the Hun army and the earth shaking the earth.
The crowd of black pressure suddenly exploded, desperately attacking the lonely city standing on the plain, Tian Wei's limbs were weak and his hands and feet were weak, and the calm posture of dropping his bookbag in front of the emperor was gone, and the captains of the Northern Army standing in front of the camp all looked solemn.
In the south of Shanwu City, the dock forts lined up in turn were swallowed into the giant mouth and chewed by the Xiongnu army, occasionally you can hear the loud sound of the battering ram beating the city gate in the sound of the snare drum, thousands of Hun cavalry drove the mounts with bows and arrows, and attacked Shanwu City one after another, and the bright and shining blades were faintly visible in the black pressed crowd, and the flashes of light and fluctuation indicated the fierce battle.
The scene in front of me was the little war that I had talked about a few months ago, an invasion war in which the Huns came to grab food.
On another hill a few miles away from the Han army camp, Cao Shi put down his binoculars: "The war is unusually cruel, and the reality is also unusually cruel, welcome to the real world, Taiwei Tian Wei." ”
Since the advent of life, the struggle between species has never stopped.
In order to inherit the bloodline genes, each species is desperately fighting and playing in the state of nature, and human beings are the most successful species created by nature, and at the same time, they are the best at fighting.
From cooperative hunting of animals to cooperative killing of the same kind, along with the evolution of human organizational forms, larger-scale battles, and stricter military command came into being, which is the great devil released by human beings, war.
The Han and the Huns are brothers, and they are also strong opponents who value each other, when they have a violent conflict with each other, the two sides will not hesitate to wave each other, and the brothers still have a brother wall, not to mention the relationship between the old enemies behind the brothers.
Arrows fell like rain under the city, the royal tent cavalry proved that they were the pride of the sky on the grassland with excellent archery skills, the Han soldiers who died at the head of the city were quickly pulled down the battlements, the brave Han people were never afraid of the threat of arrow rain, even if they were deeply injured, they still gritted their teeth and put arrows, the Hun cavalry was too much, and the black pressure gathered under the city could not be seen at a glance, and even densely enough that as long as you can pull the bow and put the arrows to the point that you can shoot people.
Under the same circumstances, the Han soldiers shot arrows at will on the city to kill the enemy, while the Huns needed to look up and aim to kill one by one, the difficulty of the two sides was different, but the losses were similar from the scene.
The Hun cavalry is outnumbered, and the archers are dozens of times more than the Han army, and the Han army of the replacements killed a few miscellaneous fish and the main Xiongnu force has no loss, and the strongest royal tent cavalry cruises at the edge of the best range, and only when the target is selected to kill, it will slightly cross the best killing distance.
Such energetic suppression put great pressure on the Han army.
The bushman immediately drank the order, the tung oil pine resin erected on the head of the city fell down, and the Hun cavalry who climbed up the ladder was poured with tung oil and fell down, dozens of large barrels of tung oil were splashed down to bring great chaos to the siege troops of the Hun army, and the pungent smell smoked many grassland warriors retched.
Standing under the banner of the Golden Wolf King, Zhao Shi glanced at the tung oil poured down and remained silent, and the Zhongxing next to him said that Wei Youqu's face changed continuously, of course they recognized the legendary weapon to defend the city, and they were preempted before they could speak in a hurry: "Not good!" That's tung oil! ”
Junchen Shan Yu turned his head suspiciously: "What kind of oil did Mr. Zhao say?" ”
"Tung oil! Ignite the flammable tung oil! ”
The Bank of China said that he jumped up with Wei Youqu and shouted: "Hurry up and give the order, everyone retreats!" ”
"It's too late!"
From a distance, hundreds of torches fell on the top of the city like a black army under the city, and hundreds of flames suddenly rose into the sky.
In the raging flames, it was a human figure, and the Huns who were covered in fire struggled, rolled, and wailed constantly.
The flames continued to spread along the crowd, and the Hun cavalry wearing leather armor and felt robes would be stained with a drop of tung oil and burn all over the body.
The horse is very afraid of fire, when the tung oil splashed on the body of the war horse, a war horse with fire all over the body crashed wildly, the living Huns were frightened and colorless, the brave war horses were frightened to see the appearance of the same kind and retreated, and the morale of the Hun cavalry fell from the clouds.
Under the banner of the Golden Wolf King, the sound of sheepskin drums gradually fell silent.
The horn sounded again, and the Huns turned their horses and walked back without looking back, leaving behind the blackened and broken corpses.
The scene just now was so shocking that it haunted the hearts of every Hun like a nightmare, and they were in a hurry to flee back and leave this terrible nightmare land.
"Good chance!"
Tian Wei jumped up and shouted: "Order the three armies to go out of the camp to pursue the main force of the military ministers, we will crush the Huns in one go!"
