CHAPTER XXXIII
Finally, the Huns erupted in an earth-shattering cheer, and the siege vehicle symbolizing death started again, slowly pressing over the giant trees on the moat, and the black shadow had touched the city.
The long whip was whipped down on the slaves and cows and horses in the cart, and the giant wood emitted a heavy **.
The slaves retracted behind the siege engines.
Sima Dan sighed: "Fortunately, I shot them with an arrow, so I didn't find out." ”
The archers on the siege carts were in a hurry, and the arrows rained down like locusts to the city, and everyone hurried to hide behind the wall of the bunker, but several desperate trumpeters shot them down and fell from the walls to the city.
The female archers in the city have seen the flag, the big moon is a matriarchal society, women do not let the eyebrows, female soldiers can go into battle to kill the enemy, after being organized as archers than men, at this time to see the flag, the general gave an order, thousands of arrows rose into the air at the same time, forming a rain of arrows on the top of the siege vehicle, and the Huns who did not have time to raise their shields were hit by arrows.
The soldiers at the head of the city are also looking for gaps behind the female wall to return arrows, but the arrows of the Huns are extremely accurate, and the siege vehicle is about half a person higher than the head of the city, which is also condescending, if it is not for the suppression of the female archery team, the soldiers at the head of the city have been extremely disadvantaged.
The siege engine did not give any resistance, and roared over the moat and rushed towards the city.
With a bang, the sky cracked, and all the siege engines suddenly fell forward like horses.
Helian's heart jumped, and then he watched as the siege vehicles leaned forward and could no longer maintain their balance, and a whole row of siege vehicles pushed and collided with each other, and fell to the ground with a loud noise, raising up the sand and mud, and dismembering into piles of waste wood.
Between the danger and the prospect of victory, it is often the time when a person's weakness is revealed.
Helian and Cai Ban were dumbfounded, unable to imagine that the moat was just a cover, and the hidden pit behind was the right angle, and at the same time took advantage of their eager desire for victory to turn all the siege vehicles into waste in the simplest way, and even became a fence to block the next wave of attacks.
"Sure enough, it's a master." Helian muttered, "The Jin people have calculated that we have used all the siege vehicles, and there is no time to build them again. ”
Cai Ban said angrily: "Let's build dozens of fucking cars again!" ”
"Stupid, that's going to take at least ten days, we can't wait!"
There was cheering above the city, and everyone looked at Xiao Min, who was wearing an inappropriate armor, full of admiration and admiration.
Xiao Min said in a deep voice: "They will soon attack with a cloud ladder, and then life and death can only be determined by their own destiny." ”
"Why don't they build siege engines anymore?"
"It's too late, if a small city in Dayue blocks them for ten days, other countries in the Western Regions will definitely hold on to their cities even more!"
Xiao Min had to explain again and again to boost morale: "If they want to fight one city after another in the entire Western Regions, their own people will die on the day of victory." What they can do is to fight a battle to scare everyone's courage, so that all countries lose the will to resist, ten days later, the atmosphere in the Western Regions will change, so they will use all the siege vehicles at one time, they can not break the city within a few days, they will go to find another softer opponent, hoping to make it like a bamboo, then we will be decisive, and then unite with other lords, the Huns know that we are not easy to bully, they will negotiate peace with us, and then give them a little food, they will either return to Mobei, or go west, There are more abundant joys, even Persia. ”
The little girl's voice was sweet and delicate, but everyone kept nodding their heads, as if it were a little angel, because they were all convinced by the arrangement of the battle just now. As soon as Xiao Min's words fell, the Huns receded like a tide, and the soldiers immediately cheered loudly.
Long Er pointed to the corpses under the city that were densely packed with arrows nailed to the ground: "These people are not even dressed enough to keep warm, how can they tolerate long arrows, this is the fate of slaves, everyone, I will definitely live and die with this city, and I will never live like this!" ”
Sima Dan looked at those corpses, and the anger in his heart raged: "Helian, this beast, treats human life like a mustard, and sooner or later I will break him and the people who helped him into pieces." ”
******
That same evening.
The sound of wolves came from all directions, I don't know that there were thousands and hundreds of wolves rushing to the city, in the dark night, the wolf eyes were like a little ghost fire filled the space that I don't know whether it was heaven or earth, the guards of Dayue City dropped a few torches, reflecting a group of hungry wolves snatching corpses.
Sima Dan was shocked, he suppressed the urge to send someone to clean up the corpse, Long Er smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "These wolves have been following the Hun soldiers, because they know that there will be a lot of food, and the Xianbei people use burial, but the people on the prairie actually believe in heavenly burial, and they think that letting the wolves eat the corpse can follow them to the heavenly kingdom." ”
Sima Dan felt sick for a while: "Ask Gao Chun and Niu Tian to take Zuo's father-in-law to take a look, he can't eat anymore, and here is a scene where he can't eat." ”
Long Er persuaded: "It's just a eunuch, why should the prince be angry?" ”
Sima Dan snorted coldly.
After a while, Gao and Niu helped Zuo Yong to arrive, Zuo Yong was dressed in court clothes, his face was pale, and he was weak, but he bowed to Sima Dan with a court salute: "See the prince, may the prince be a thousand years old!" ”
Sima Dan said coldly: "I heard that Father-in-law Zuo started a hunger strike after arriving in Dayue City, and today I specially called Father-in-law Zuo to come, just to let my father-in-law see that in this world, some animals are too hungry and eat carrion, and my father-in-law will not eat today, and he will be caught in a wolf's kiss in the future!" ”
"Haha! Prince! Wolves feed on carrion corpses, which have existed since ancient times, what is so strange? At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in a great wilderness, the Guanzhong area, the Yizi food, the Kanto area, there was a city of "vegetable people", people could still cannibalism, and there were no wolves cannibals, what did the prince think? Besides, did the prince think that after the war, it would be better for the carrion to turn into a plague, or to give it to the wolves? Don't you forget, when the wolf is full, many sheep may be able to escape their lives, or give food to others, and they can also feed a few more people, does the prince think so? ”
Sima Dan was shocked, paced back and forth on the head of the city, and watched the wolves under the city share the food, and suddenly sighed: "My father-in-law is actually a sage, so why do you have to go against me everywhere?" ”
"Prince! I followed the left and right, came to the Western Regions as an envoy, and I should have been in front of the car and behind the horse, but the prince was suspicious, ashamed of heaven and earth, what good is it to live? That's why it's like this, it's not against the prince. ”
"In that case, why did my father-in-law teach me?"
"Prince! Forget the matter of the palace, this grassland is a place of heroes, with the prince's courage and grandeur, to create a world, these days, I am deeply touched, no longer the previous Zuoyong, if you can attach to the left and right, the villain will definitely do his best, and then die!"
Sima Dan looked at Long Er.
Long Er sneered: "With a gentle word, the father-in-law asked the prince to let go of the huge world and work hard in the desert north of the Saiwai, regardless of the Central Plains at his fingertips." ”
"Long Er, the so-called easy access, is close to the end of the world, the palace is full of murderous opportunities, comparable to Lei Chi, the prince now has no credible ministers, no soldiers to fear, return to the court, and send to death is no different, you are the prince's trusted person, why don't you know the severity?"
Long Er looked at Sima Dan again and nodded slightly.
Sima Dan shouted: "In this case, my affairs will be handled by my father-in-law in the future, and Gao Niu will assist my father-in-law, and you will help your father-in-law go back so that you can give birth to a good body." ”
After Zuo Yong left, Long Er: "This person is the only person who knows the inside story of the palace, if he can be used by us, it will be of great benefit." ”
"He still has a little compassion in his heart, and he is knowledgeable, and he hopes that he can really ...... with us."
At this time, Taji and Marti also arrived, and when they saw the realm outside the city, they couldn't help but change color.
In the land of the Western Regions, there is a lot of contact with the Han people, and many people have long accepted the Han customs, and burials are popular, and they are all indignant when they see Helian's tyranny.
Long Er: "Tomorrow they will definitely attack, although there are no siege vehicles, but it will still be earth-shattering." ”
Taji: "Haha, if you die and bury yourself in the city, or burn it to ashes, it's the same as if you were eaten by a wolf, brothers, I must be ahead of the curve." ”
In the past few days, Matti and Taji have released their previous suspicions, and he has great respect for the Qiuzi people, and he patted Taji on the shoulder: "The warriors of the big moon will not let the guests be injured, you can rest assured that you can eat and drink well!" ”
Taji Zhengrong: "We must rush to the front in order to solve the unhappiness of the past, this is not only you and me, there are many people who will look at our watch, and if the Great Moon City is defended, the same can be done by Qiuzi, so we will wait for them in the west and south cities." ”
There are also the remains of siege engines under the walls on both sides of the northeast, and if you want to launch a thunderous blow, you will definitely launch it from the southwest.
Marti shouted, "I'll help you!" ”
Sima Dan's blood surged: "I don't have many soldiers, but I will definitely come!" ”
Taji was overjoyed: "In the face of such a ferocious enemy, I can be with you, my life is not in vain, why don't we become brothers?" ”
They wanted to pull Long Er together, and Long Er laughed: "I am a citizen of the Great Jin, how dare I bow down with the prince, but you, do you want to take advantage of our Great Jin?" ”
So Taji, Mati, and Sima Dan swore an oath by breaking arrows with the gift of the Western Regions, and formed a "safe answer". Taji was overjoyed, busy preparing wine, and the three of them drank three glasses, hugged each other, and laughed.
Xiao Min also arrived at the head of the city at this time, and Long Er asked, "Miss Min, you won't be unhappy again, will you?" These two are not women! ”
Xiao Min chuckled: "Brother Dan has been very lonely since he was a child, I am also a little girl, and I want him to coax him, and my father will not let him play with other children, now with you, and these Anda, and even Yuli them, maybe the friendship between men is different from our little woman's family!" ”
Long Er patted the back of his head: "Haha, Miss Min is a person who understands righteousness, I dare to doubt Miss Min, seeing that you are reconciled as before, I am really comforted!" ”
Xiao Min chirped, "Are you very old?" Say I'm less again, hum! I thought to myself, "Yes! I have forgiven him! That's the best! I'm so happy, even if we all die here, I will die without regrets, Dad, don't worry about us! ”
Only Long Er knows that the so-called reconciliation, whether people's wishes are as they were at the beginning, may be difficult to force.
