CHAPTER XXXI
The Huns quickly surrounded Sima Dan from all directions, and around the "prey", they immediately united several horses, forming a horse formation to resolutely charge Sima Dan and them, and the dragon's heart suddenly beat wildly, almost breaking out of his chest.
Sima Dan shouted: "Kill!" The five horses suddenly accelerated, and they were able to avoid the encircled enemy, and flashed out of a "slit" and swooped down on the oncoming four horsemen.
In a moment's time, the enemy's hideous face appeared in front of him, and the two sides had reached the decisive moment of the first to avoid death.
Sima Dan shook his spear, and this horse weapon nicknamed "Zhangba Snake Spear" really swung like a snake, and the head of the spear formed a snow cloud, which instantly wiped the heads of two enemies with scimitars, and at the same time swung a knife, piercing the breastplate of another enemy who rushed at the back.
The remaining one of the Huns collided head-on with Yuli, You used the shield to block the whirring scimitar, and the small round hammer at the front end of the short stick in his hand hit the head of the opponent's war horse, the war horse screamed, and suddenly the horse lost its front hooves, and threw the Huns off the horse, and was trampled by the hooves of the Sura horse from behind like thunder, and the Huns rolled a few times, and could not stand up.
The rest of the Huns saw that their companions were killed instantly, they all had red eyes, and hurriedly chased after them, Sima Dan and their speed was slowed down, but Sima Dan was at the forefront of the horse formation and had no worries, the long lance in his hand flew invincible, and killed several enemies in a blink of an eye, Adam's palace was also very decisive, the giant axe passed everywhere, the enemy reined in the horse, and instantly distanced himself from the enemy.
Yuli and the other four played a free body in the gladiatorial arena of the Roman Empire, and only if they were the top masters in horse and chariot warfare, they could have this kind of achievement, and at this time, they were protected by divine armor, so they could deal with it calmly even in the melee.
The cheers of the head of the big moon city surged like a tide, and the Huns also desperately blocked it, Sima Dan and they slashed and killed several times, rushed left and right, and finally killed a bloody road, but for a while they were covered in blood red, and they all hung up.
Sima Dan's left shoulder was tied to the heavy weapon, and it only hurt so much that his left hand couldn't lift it, and the long lance lost its power when it landed, but he was reluctant to let this guy go, and took it and desperately urged the horse to run back to Dayue City.
More than 20 horsemen have died on the Huns' side, although there are still dozens of horsemen in the encirclement, but just now they turned over and stalked, Sima Dan's amazing lethality has put down the momentum of the Huns.
Sima Dan ran a few steps, saw that the Huns did not dare to chase, and he ignored the fact that his left hand had been injured, and actually slowed down the horse's pace, at this time a rain of arrows covered, ping pong hit the iron armor, Sima Dan as if unconscious, shouted: "I am the prince of the Great Jin!" Do you dare to chase it? โ
The Huns were stunned for a while, and then the beastly nature was stimulated, roaring and scrambling to urge the horses to come, Sima Dan and they urged the horses to go forward, and in a blink of an eye they had entered the range of longbowmen such as Long Er.
Sima Dan suddenly turned, leading Yuli and the other four people to run along the city wall, as if looking for a city gate to enter the city, the chasing horse dragged out a long tail behind, forming a row of targets, suddenly a bowstring sound sounded on the city, a row of long arrows shot down from the city head, shot at the pursuers behind Sima Dan, and turned over several Huns.
The Hun pursuers woke up in shock, it turned out to be a plan to lure the enemy, hurriedly pulled out the horse's head, and ran out, at this time Sima Dan's five horsemen also untied the horse bow, led the bow and shot, and shot down a few horses when they landed.
The cheers on the city walls rose to the sky.
The Huns were furious, and they all drew their bows to shoot at the city, although the distance was far away, it was a horse bow, and the arrows did not reach the city.
Sima Dan and the other five did not pursue again, but Shi Shiran stepped across the suspension bridge and entered the city, and dozens of horsemen did not dare to obstruct it.
The head army of Dayue City was mighty, and they all demonstrated and cheered to the Huns, and those Huns discussed for a while, and suddenly scattered and rushed towards the city wall.
At this time, the city wall was full of people, they all drew their bows and shot, how did they know that the enemy cavalry was extremely scattered, and there were few hits, the Huns arrived in front of the moat, opened their bows and shot, and the dense people standing at the head of the city could not avoid it for a while, and there were many people who were hit by arrows and screamed miserably.
This time suddenly, the elated Dayue soldiers did not expect the Huns' arrows to be so accurate, and immediately cried and called their mothers, and became a mess, fortunately someone reminded them to hide behind the female wall, which was considered safe.
Sima Dan's left hand was still unconscious, he hurried back and rushed to the head of the city, his heart was not without excitement, this rush just now should be able to save some of the morale, and also prove to Mira that he is not a coward who only let the people of Dayue City take risks.
But when he arrived at the head of the city, there were at least sixty or seventy corpses lying on the city wall, and all the soldiers and civilians of Dayue were even more miserable, although there were no arrows shooting from under the city, they still did not dare to come out from under the female wall.
Sima Dan's heart sank, and when he approached the city wall and looked out, he saw that the Huns' scouts had long disappeared.
"This is the prince's bravery?" Mira's cold voice came from behind: "But these are fundamentally two different peoples, most of the people in Dayue City are farmers and merchants who have never touched weapons in their lives, how can they deal with these Huns who have been desperately on the edge of life and death since they were young?" โ
Sima Dan didn't turn around, he was a little afraid and didn't know how to answer this question.
Long Er said in a deep voice: "In fact, the so-called Xiongnu may not all be like this, the Xiongnu who were attached to the Han were very close to the life of the Han people, and the Xiongnu and Xianbei who were not attached were merged, and they also built cities in the royal court, so later Rouran came from the west, and surrendered to many tribes in the steppe and became the leader of the Xiongnu Alliance, which was less than ten years, so now Rouran's martial arts are so prosperous." โ
Mira shook her head and sneered: "The enemies just now are all braided, and it seems that they are all Xianbei people, so after the real Rouran people come, can we still hold it?" โ
Xiao Min didn't know when he also arrived at the head of the city: "A small big moon city will not attract so many Huns, there will definitely be people from Mobei to the west, the weather here is too hot, their large army may not pass here." โ
Mira snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Sima Dan looked at the dead and wounded Dayue soldiers one by one, and suddenly remembered what he said to the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion: "If it is just to send you to death, I will never ask you to go, it is not a big deal to be defeated." โ
But is there a way to escape now?
The attitude of the Xiongnu envoys has been explained, and now they can only fight against the water.
******
A few days later, within the reach of the leader of Dayue City, it was already full of Xiongnu tents, and the black and gray sky divided the space outside the city.
There were no fixed types of tents, and there were many kinds of flags, and there were many carriages of different sizes, and because they were so dense, they made people feel that they were monolithic and extremely tight barracks.
When the giant siege vehicle of the Xiongnu slowly appeared in front of them, the people in Dayue City changed color.
Sure enough, there are Han people who enslave it, otherwise this giant monster would not have been built.
Each siege vehicle was as wide as four people with their hands outstretched, half a person higher than the city wall, and there were eight large wheels on each side, and in front of it was thick wood, so it could be seen that it was constantly watering from top to bottom, so it was definitely not possible to attack by fire. The roof of the car can accommodate about forty or fifty people, and there are oxen and horses pulling behind and under the car, so the speed is not slow, as long as it is close to the city wall, the enemy on the car can condescend and attack the city wall directly.
What Xiao Min once worried about the most has finally come true.
When twenty or thirty siege engines marched side by side, the walls of the city became meaningless.
Taji said in a deep voice: "How did the Jin Kingdom defend this kind of siege vehicle? โ
No one answered.
Sima Dan: "They are still assembling now, and they can't attack until tonight at the earliest." โ
At this time, two horsemen galloped from the Hun camp to the city.
One of them, dressed in golden armor and purple and red robes, was escorted by only one horseman, and when he arrived at the moat in front of the city, he shouted: "I am Helian of Tiefu, who is in charge of the city?" โ
The mount was a pure white horse, and Helian on the horse was not afraid of the bow and arrows in the city, with his head held high, and his majesty was majestic, as if he had forgotten that dozens of their military envoys had been killed in the city.
His silhouette is deep and filtered, his figure is straight, and his bearing in the two armies is like a king in the world, and he is a rare beautiful man in the world.
Long Er shouted: "Sima Dan, the prince of the Great Jin, Princess Mira of Dayue is here, what do you say?" โ
"I heard that the people of the Central Plains said that those who know the times are Junjie, and now I have a soft alliance along the Liao River in the east and the Green Mountains in the west. You can't see our military might when you kill our messenger, now you have all seen it, as long as I wave my hand, the city will be broken in a breath, I will give you another day, otherwise, on the day of the city break, there will be no chickens and dogs. โ
"Hah! You have been expelled by the ghost party, the wolf bรจi westward, for many years, the countries of the Western Regions, have been Fengzhengshuo, you still say that you are the king here, although the big moon is a small country, but it has been more than 20 years since you were called the leader of the alliance, you are willing to be a robber, but vain claim to be a holy order, and the immortal heaven will definitely condemn you. โ
Helian and Long Er had a conversation, and few people next to him understood it, and everyone only knew that a tough battle would soon dye the city red.
Helian's eyes were like lightning, sweeping over the city: "Your Majesty, the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, you will soon know that it is a blessing for your life not to meet me in Yanzhou Road!" After saying that, he laughed, turned the horse's head and left.
******
Mira walked through a long corridor in a flash, and the voice of the Great Moon City Lord sounded from behind: "Mira, why did you take the key?" โ
Mira's face immediately turned pale: "Mother...... Queen mother...... What did you say? โ
"I just saw that the key in the closet is missing, and you're the only one who takes it, isn't it?"
"Mother...... Queen ......"
"You want to steal your life alone at this time?"
Mira turned around angrily: "I'm not! Absolutely not! I just want to talk to them, and today the people of Dajin blocked the last chance for peace talks! โ
"It's not them who intercepted it, it's me who called Long Er to say this!"
"Mother...... Queen mother? โ
"If the hope of peace talks is not extinguished, the people in the city will never be able to unite, in this case, the city will be destroyed sooner or later, so there must be no peace talks!"
Mira lowered her head, like a defeated rooster, and slowly took out a large iron ring, on which was buckled a string of keys like the same as the young man: "Since the queen mother has made up her mind, then I will not leave the city." "Give the Great Iron Ring to the Lord of Otsuki Castle.
The city lord did not answer: "Keep it, child!" That's what I came here to give you. โ
Mira didn't understand: "Give it to me...... I? Do? โ
"Fool, there's nothing wrong with stealing your life alone, you're not the lord of the city, remember, if you can't do anything, run away from here, don't be nostalgic, and don't hang on to your mother's ......"
Mira threw herself into the arms of the city lord: "Mom...... Mother! โฆโฆ We still have ...... Is there any hope? โ
