CHAPTER XXXIV

When the battle horn sounded, the sky was still dark, but above the city, it was already like a great enemy.

The lord of Dayue City had already handed over the command to Sima Dan, and Sima Dan's arrangement was also based on Xiao Min and Long Er, at this time, Dayue City was equipped with more archers in the northeast, especially the archers of the women's barracks, who targeted the siege vehicles that had fallen to the ground and shot the enemies who climbed over.

There is no obstruction outside the city on both sides of the southwest, as long as you cross the moat, you can go straight to the city wall, here will be the collision of the two armies face to face, the defenders in the big moon city, mainly with infantry to defend these two directions, at the same time the wood boiling oil and so on are also ready, waiting with bated breath for the enemy's attack.

But the Xiongnu still came from the northeast.

Countless slaves screamed and rushed at the wreckage of the siege engines, trying to push them to the walls.

The people on Dayue City did not expect the enemy to attack in such a desperate way, but if the wreckage was really pushed under the city wall, then they would immediately become pedals, and the Huns who attacked with cloud ladders would regain a little advantage.

Feathered arrows were scattered condescendingly, the slaves had only some sparse shields, and the siege vehicles slowly advanced, leaving no trace of flesh and blood at every step, including women and children.

Sima Dan rushed here, and saw that these slaves were all black-haired and yellow-skinned, all of them were Yan and Zhao's Dajin people, and he couldn't help but have weak legs, and when he heard those local sounds, they were all shouting for the sky and grabbing the ground, screaming and reprimanding, and his heart was shocked, only to feel that his heart was congested, his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground.

Long Er hurriedly helped, and saw that Sima Dan didn't react at all, only screamed in fright, Xiao Min and the others rushed over, slapped his face hard, and pressed others.

Sima Dan woke up slowly and cried: "That...... Those slaves are all from our Jin people...... Fast...... Tell them not to let it go...... Shoot the arrows! ”

Zuo Yong also arrived at this time, understood why the prince fainted, and reprimanded loudly: "Now that they are helping the enemy to slaughter us, can you bear to watch all the people in Dayue City become slaves?" Even if you let them in, the Huns will let them go in the future? Because of kindness, it is your ambition to eventually cause more tragic deaths? Only by overcoming can we have a chance to help them...... Cough...... cough "He also just recovered his body, and under the excitement, he also fell softly on Gao Chun's arm.

Xiao Min shouted: "Zuo Gonggong is reasonable, now there is only one way to stop killing!" ”

Sima Dan thought of the Jin children who shot Dayue to death with bows and arrows, and for a while heaven and man were at war, and he was speechless.

Long Er and the others persuaded again, but the screams of the Jin people were louder and louder, and Sima Dan looked dazed.

The siege engines were getting closer and closer, and finally more archers were arriving from both sides of the southwest, and more arrows were fired at the city.

The Jin slaves were like human arrows, piling up layers of dead corpses behind siege vehicles.

Sima Dan thought of the wolves at night, and couldn't help but feel a sweet throat, wow, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

As early as when he was in the northern camp, his hands were already covered with blood, but it was always the enemy's, and he definitely didn't expect the cruelty of the war to come to this.

War is inevitable.

Sima Dan suddenly understood the famous words of the Roman sage Caesar: "The duty of a general is to win the war with all his might." The profound meaning of this sentence is by no means a meaningless and well-known holy word.

"As far as you can", before "winning".

Illustrating the sum may also be another option.

Once the war drags on, the offense and defense will be facing each other, and it will be difficult to estimate the casualties of the enemy and the enemy.

******

Sima Dan stood up with difficulty and ordered: "Stop firing arrows, and attack with fire when the siege vehicles arrive at the city, arrows are limited and cannot be wasted." ”

Taji also arrived at this time: "Good way! "His heavy infantry is marching up to the head of the city, ready to meet the enemy here.

Without a rain of arrows, the siege engines quickly pushed the slaves desperately to the wall, and then they retreated like ants, and soon rushed to the city wall with rudimentary ladders and other siege equipment and miscellaneous weapons and iron weapons.

The soldiers in the city were about to fire the wreckage of the siege vehicle with rockets and boiling oil, when Sima Dan suddenly shouted: "Stop!" At the same time, he turned to Taji and said, "Go back to your walls, it's just a feint!" ”

Taji was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the dragon ears and them nodding one after another, he hurriedly led his troops back to the southern city wall.

Long Er: "Prince, even if it's a feint, you can't give it to them." ”

Sima Dan took a long lance: "Set up the Jin flag, shout surrender and don't kill, see who can seize the opportunity and escape from the Huns to us!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, this was an extremely bold plan.

The east wall was still burning fires, forcing the Jin slaves to the north wall.

******

North Wall.

The Jin slaves were already in a state of hysterical numbness, and their dead relatives and friends would be relieved in their hearts, and finally they didn't have to worry about it, and they didn't even pay attention to any injuries on their bodies.

The men who had just eaten a little porridge desperately set up the ladder and climbed up, not even realizing that the expected rain of arrows did not appear, they climbed desperately, as if they could climb to the top of the city, and did not think about what would wait for them above the city.

Many of the knives in their mouths fell unconsciously, but they didn't realize it, and they still climbed up, and there was a qiē redemption at the head of the city.

Turning over the wall, facing a forest of guns, I heard the person next to me shouting in Jin language: "Kneel down and don't kill!" ”

The man knelt down in a daze, and immediately someone pulled him aside and stuffed a small steamed bun for him, he hurriedly swallowed it, and when he was still gnawing wildly, someone patted his back to help him swallow it, and asked him to swallow the steamed bun and shout together: "Kneel down and don't kill!" ”

Kneel down and don't kill!

Kneel down and don't kill!

Kneel down and eat steamed buns!

Kneel down and eat steamed buns!

In the blink of an eye, the city walls were filled with many slaves, and soon some of them were gradually withdrawn, and when they were taken to some small chambers under the city and imprisoned, they suddenly felt a sense of relief, and then saw that some food was distributed, and for a time they forgot about the morning.

The slaves kneeling at the head of the city played an exemplary role, and the news soon spread to the city, and the slaves rushed to be the first to join the banner of the Jin prince.

Helian's overseer team did not expect that there was a matter of climbing up the other party's city to surrender, and when they saw the people who had already climbed the city, they hurriedly urged others to rush to support, and after a while, they realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered everyone to come back, but instead accelerated the escape of the slaves.

The Jin people above the city hugged each other and cried, and the soldiers of Dayue City had never seen this situation, and they couldn't help but be in a daze, Sima Dan stood at the head of the city and shouted: "Come up quickly!" I am the prince of the Great Jin, and I will protect you! Fast! Fast! ”

At this time, not only were they young and strong, but many women and children also climbed up from under the ladder, completely ignoring the call of the warlords, and they were eager to reach the city immediately and throw themselves into the protection of the prince of Jin.

The Warlords finally fired their arrows at the slaves on the wall, but when they tried to get closer, the archers in the city returned fire, turning them into fire to cover the slaves' escape.

The tide of escape was surging on the north wall, and the locusts on both sides were raining down.

A large group of cavalry from the Hun camp to cover, they hold a big shield, with spears and sabers to slaughter the slaves who are still under the city, the slaves finally woke up like a dream, have retreated, and some on the city wall to see their relatives forced to go back also followed, some are still struggling upward, many to the Huns with arrows to shoot down, for a while, the city wall up and down like the junction of hell, the people on the city call the father and mother, the city under the call the sky and the ground, crying and shaking the sky, everywhere corpses and mountains and blood sea, miserable.

Helian led the guards to line up, looking at the banner of the Great Jin standing at the head of the city, his eyes seemed to erupt with fire.

Sima Dan was sad and indignant, and when he saw that it was Helian, he scolded with his halberd: "Your voice will not be useful!" We have sent troops to defend the walls of the other two sides, Hun clown, I cāo your grandmother! He was in a hurry, and he just wanted to jump off the wall and break Helian into pieces.

Helian laughed, "Your people? If you don't open the city, King Benxian will slaughter them all at once! ”

Sima Dan's face was pale, and he couldn't speak for a while, Helian picked up a longbow, sneered, and was about to draw the bow and shoot.

With a whoosh, an arrow flew from the city, Helian's head shrank, and the iron helmet shot an arrow away, and the horse was frightened, and the man stood up, almost throwing Helian, the commander of the western army of the Huns, under the horse.

The laughter of the dragon's ears came from the city: "You lied to the ghost? These slaves are the private property of the chiefs and generals, and it is okay to die in battle on behalf of them when attacking, but you will kill you without so many horses and sheep to exchange, hum! This time you lost these slaves, if you can't give an account to your subordinates, maybe someone will flash into your tent tonight and cut your head, let's try? ”

Helian's face turned pale for a while, and his eyes were round: "Boy! Take this city today and feed you alive to hungry wolves! With that, he pulled out his horse and left.

Sima Dan hurriedly turned around, only to see that the city and the city were kneeling together, all of them were Jin people, who were looted by Helian in the Jin realm and became slaves, and he didn't expect to be able to take refuge in the Jin prince here.

Sima Dan's voice resounded in the sky: "Today is the Great Moon City that has taken us in, you must first obey the arrangement and management, if there is any trouble, you will be killed, and at the same time, you will do your best to nominate the elders and meet me, I am anxious to know what happened to you." ”

Zuo Yong knelt on the ground: "Prince, this matter is handled by the slave!" ”

Sima Dan nodded: "There is Father-in-law Lao, Gao Chun, you help Father-in-law!" ”

At this time, the two sides in the southwest sounded the alarm at the same time, and Sima Dan knew that the real test had only begun now.

The Xiongnu in the southwest did not know what was happening in the northeastern city, and only planned to launch a general attack when the sky showed a glimmer of light.

The Xiongnu attack the city, must be opened by the slaves, but the slaves in the southwest are all from the barbarians, they have long been accustomed to the law of the jungle, meritorious service to change the identity of the life, at this time, their only hope is to make meritorious contributions in the battle of breaking the city, to be appreciated by the master, to obtain freedom, and even the spoils of war, yesterday, they are still the husband, slave, shepherd...... and so on, for the master to work hard in exchange for food and clothing, today picked up the knife, the blood in the heart churned again, a cheap life, only with hard work to reverse the fate.
