CHAPTER XXXII

Xiao Min laid the wound on Sima Dan's calf, and the arrow hole on the armor could not be repaired, so he could only let it go, Xiao Min stroked the arrow hole with his hand, and suddenly cried, Sima Dan was shocked: "Xiao ...... Xiao Min...... You...... I'm fine, don't worry. ”

Xiao Min stood up, and helped Sima Dan tighten his breastplate, seeing the knife marks on the divine armor, he stared at a pair of teary eyes: "Dad said that you are actually a very honest child, and you are definitely not suitable for such a road." ”

"Huh? Is it? What else did he say? ”

He said...... When you were a child, ants were reluctant to hurt, and you were reluctant to lose a pair of cloth shoes after wearing them for a long time, saying that you were stupid...... And this is a bloody road, it will be very hard for you to walk, and I want to protect you well...... Reminds you. ”

"What part of me does he want you to pay the most attention to? Is it too easy to fall for a woman? Giggle! ”

Xiao Min glanced at him: "Hmph! I'm ignoring you! He said you caught a woman's belly pocket when you caught Zhou Shi! ”

"Huh! No way? He said I didn't believe it. ”

"Alas! …… I...... I hate you so much...... Brother Dan......"

Sima Dan's eyes suddenly became wet, Xiao Min had never called him like this since he left Jiangnan, saying that he was the prince, he couldn't be called like that, and then Sima Dan hurt her again, she was even more cold, and the two didn't talk much, and then suddenly called him like this, Sima Dan couldn't help but be excited, and tears flowed in tears.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Min laughed tearfully: "Promise me...... We must live, and if we can't, we go to a place where no one knows us! ”

Sima Dan nodded vigorously: "I won't sacrifice myself for no reason, I still have Xiao Minmin......!" ”

******

On the prairie, I don't know how many battle horns sounded high, and the sound instantly filled the sky, like an invisible mountain, pressed down from the sky, and like a shadowless flood, flooding the entire Great Moon City.

More than forty or fifty siege engines were connected in a row, and under the support of a black victory banner and human figures, they slowly pressed towards Dayue Castle from the north and east.

The Xiongnu on both sides of the southwest also slowly pressed forward, but they were all on horses, and did not carry siege weapons, although so, but at this time from the city, only to feel that endless enemies were surging on horses, and the knights on the horse covered the murder weapons with many bloodstains, and the murderous passage of escape was sealed with death, which made the people in the city feel a chill.

The generals of Dayue City, including Sima Dan and Taji, all stood at the head of the northern city at this time, and saw the siege vehicles in the distance standing side by side, like a city in front of everyone.

Taji had a cart pushed to the city.

The soldiers unloaded a jar of wine from the cart.

Taji looked at everyone: "There is a tradition in our army, drinking wine before going into battle can not only increase the body, but also increase courage, your bravery does not need wine to help, but I want to invite you to drink." He picked up a bowl, filled it with bright red wine, handed the bowl to Sima Dan, and then distributed them one by one, loudly: "I admit that I originally came here with a different mind, but now, the Qiuzi people are here wholeheartedly, fighting side by side with you!" ”

The crowd was so moved that they all raised their wines and dried them.

Sima Dan jumped on the wine cart: "Fellow citizens, I have no enemies in my heart now, some are only my comrades-in-arms who are here now, no matter where you come from, I will hand over my back to you, because of your loyalty and bravery, even if I have to die here in the end, it is still my greatest honor to be with you." ”

The city lord of Dayue also arrived at this time, and she came forward in line: "So many heroic men are fighting here for women and children, this is the most beautiful scene I have ever seen, the Yue clan used to be a nomadic knight in the grassland, and then drove the Xiongnu to the west, we stayed, even then we didn't leave, and slowly gathered here again, twenty years ago with the support of the Great Jin Dynasty to establish this city, now is the time for us to defend our dignity with our own strength, soldiers, I am here to bless you!" She toasted again.

The soldiers of Dayue cheered when they heard this, and the sound of the city for a while covered the whistling of the Hun battle horn in everyone's ears.

The generals stretched out their hands to pull each other regardless of race, and Taji shouted: "We are men, it's good to die like this!" "Everyone applauded.

Sima Dan shouted: "Everyone is in place!" ”

******

At this time, the person standing at the head of the wall slowly felt the vibration from the ground.

The siege chariot array like a city began to move forward slowly, and in the passionate battle cry, although the Xiongnu's advance was chaotic, they gradually adjusted their steps to the same.

Although it was on the grassland soil, in the boundless, I don't know that hundreds of thousands of feet stepped on the ground at the same time, an extremely low muffled sound still sounded, and it hit everyone's hearts.

At the same time, the throat of all the Huns also vibrated and sent out a long groan, which suddenly converged into a surging sound, surging to the city wall, the low groan was like a beast roaring, and like a demon crying, extremely shocking, everyone in the city felt a chill, as if they were about to give up their lives, both hands could not help but clench their weapons, and the morale that had just gathered was lost again.

Huge siege engines rumbled in, getting closer and closer.

Sima Dan had ordered the ballistae to be prepared, and those crossbow beds would take ten people to fill up, and at the same time, put the right to throw guns as giant crossbows, a total of ten in a row, and aim at the approaching siege vehicles.

There was no need for any aiming, and when the siege vehicle approached the stone pier that was the distance marker, the ten bed crossbows roared at the same time, and the iron-headed wooden javelins pierced straight into the log layer in front of the siege engine.

There were several loud sounds like cracks, and the siege vehicles were under the guise of a few times, but they were close side by side, and they instantly stabilized each other.

The javelin was inserted in front of the siege engine, but the siege vehicle immediately resumed its advance.

The Huns let out earth-shattering cheers, and the defense of the city of Otsuki appeared weak.

Helian immediately watched from behind, and Cai Ban beside him chuckled: "They don't dare to go out of the city to attack the siege vehicles, they are destined to break the city today!" ”

Helian: "There are extraordinary people around the prince of Dajin, and they haven't come out, is there any other way?" ”

"They don't have the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom this time, especially those iron crossbows and divine armor, what else can they do?"

The Huns shouted again for the siege engines approaching the moat a hundred paces outside the city walls.

The pit was not wide, and it was definitely not difficult to fill it up and let the siege engines pass through.

But all of a sudden, the archers in the city lit up their arrows.

The Xiongnu quickened the advance of the siege engines, and at the same time there were people carrying pieces of giant logs, trying to turn them across the moat and turning them into bridges that could pass through guò.

Although there are a lot of debris at the bottom of the moat, it does not seem to be too difficult to climb over, as long as there is a vanguard to build a "wooden bridge", the army can rush through.

These pioneers were slaves, and they rushed to the moat as if seeking relief, ignoring any danger.

If you fail, going back is also the fate of killing your head.

Slaves, who were already starving to death, were given the last bit of food before dawn, and they did not dare to hope for the sun tomorrow.

Sure enough, the rockets on the city wall rained down, and they did not shoot at the siege vehicles that were not afraid of rockets, but intensively shot at the moats, completely eliminating the Hun slaves in front and behind them.

The slaves quickened their pace, the front wave fell, and the latter rushed to the pit even more frantically and selflessly, but at this time, a burst of flames suddenly rolled up in the pit, and the moment they rushed to the front, they were swept into the sea of fire, and the flames rose from the moat, turning the pit into a moat river around the city wall.

The vanguard that had survived finally collapsed, and they turned and fled, crying bitterly, many of them with tongues of fire.

A rain of arrows came from the roof of the siege vehicle, and immediately shot the escaped slaves to death in the chest.

The slaves who had not been shot stopped in shock, and then the Hun archers shouted loudly again, and another wave of slaves lifted the giant log that had fallen to the ground and rushed towards the sea of fire, trying to build a wooden bridge in the sea of fire that was not afraid of fire.

There was no wooden bridge in the world that was not afraid of fire, and more slaves were forced to die under the flames and rockets, but the wooden bridge was still not built, and it was only when the Hun vanguard generals remembered that such an attack was to help the Dayue people add firewood and oil to the fire pit, and the slaves were able to temporarily retreat from the line of fire.

******

Helian hated: "Gorodo is such an idiot, we are the main attacker, can't we wait?" That fire will burn for ten days and a half months? ”

Cai Ban smiled awkwardly: "My little brother is the same as me, he doesn't work when he is in a hurry, it's really fucking damned." ”

Helian sneered: "This way of defending the city, we will attack it tomorrow!" ”

But the fire in the fire pit was extinguished until noon, and the Huns cheered in unison and clamoured forward.

Rockets rained down on the walls, but this time the slaves were not hindered by the fire on the ground, and soon someone crossed the pit while the first giant log was secured.

The arrows on the city wall cannot be said to be very accurate, but they come in waves, and they are all very neat, which is the result of the Great Moon archers being trained by the dragon ear to shoot at a uniform distance according to the command.

The slaves desperately built wooden bridges, and there was no way to avoid the arrows falling from the city, but they died and poured in, but the closer they got to the walls, the more dense the rain of arrows became, so they did not dare to move forward.

For them, as long as they can build a giant log for the siege engine to pass by, it will be safe, because no matter how dense the rain of arrows is, it is only scratching in front of the siege engine.

There was a team of archers in the city, all women, who were not at the head of the city, but only bent their bows and arrows under the walls, and shot the arrows into the air, and the parabola shot out of the city, and the commander made them strike a distance outside the city at a uniform angle with a banner at the head of the city, and when the enemy slaves moved forward, there would be thousands of long arrows, and at the same time they would come out of the string, from their positions, to the enemy, and shoot them into hedgehogs.

However, Sima Dan and they still helplessly watched the moat pit being filled in the city, as long as the siege vehicle passed through it, it would enter within a stone's throw of both sides, even if the siege vehicle was not too close, the real siege would start immediately, and the advantage of the city wall would also be gone.
