Chapter 269: Returning with a Feather
The Huns forced Dawan to surrender and launched an attack on Suye City.
When Liang Xiao attacked the camp, he once drove the Dawan soldiers to attack the camp of the Huns, although he did not cause too many casualties, but the Dawan soldiers saw more than 100 cavalry shouting "kill the Huns" and "kill Wudan" to break into the camp of the Huns' Chinese army, easily kill through the front line, and go away, and the fear of the Huns has faded a lot unconsciously.
That night, many Dawan soldiers took advantage of the opportunity that the Huns could not see, or fled into the depths of the grassland, or defected to Suye City. After the Huns found out, in order to deter the remaining Dawan soldiers, they killed many people. Although they regained control of these pawns, the number of pawns was further reduced, and hatred accumulated in the hearts of the Dawan people.
At this moment, although the Dawan people were forced to go into battle, they had no fighting spirit at all, they were silent and walked towards Suye City.
The head of Suye City was also silent, and the Dawan soldiers were waiting for the battle to begin, but the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Liang Xiao also stood on the city. After Creon's unremitting publicity, he is now a popular student in Suye City, with countless fans, and he is watched as soon as he enters the street. In order to protect him from harassment, the four Alpha don't know how many black hands they have been beaten by the little daughter-in-law and the big girl. If they weren't Amazonian female warriors and had received high-intensity training since childhood, they would have been killed by jealousy a long time ago.
In contrast, it is quieter to stand at the head of the city. Although the soldiers of Suye City are also his fans, they are bound by military orders, after all, no one will take the initiative to pounce on them and talk to them.
Creon stood on the edge of the city, watching the slowly approaching Dawan soldiers, and then at the murderous Huns in the distance. He was a little nervous.
"Liang Jun. Can it be held? The Huns are not yet leaving. Could it be that they treat Suye City as Troy and want to besiege it for ten years? ”
Liang Xiao frowned. He didn't know what Wudan was crazy about. Does he really want to capture Suye City and spend the winter in Dawan? However, he didn't believe that Wudan could continue to be surrounded like this. Restricted by objective conditions, he could not solve the problem of baggage.
Did he take advantage of this time to send people to plunder the nearby cities?
"My lord, the Huns don't have Achilles, even if they do. We're not afraid, isn't there still Paris? Liang Xiao looked at the squire knight Paris and made a joke.
"Haha, that's just as well." Creon relaxed. "But what about this? The Huns let the Dawan people go into battle, which is not good for the morale of our army. ”
"Your Excellency is very worried." Liang Xiao was also worried. "My lord, I'd better arrange more overseers to avoid someone being soft-hearted and messing up."
Creon nodded repeatedly, and immediately motioned for Ampas to prepare.
Ampas did not dare to slack off, and walked along the city wall with his personal guards. As he walked, he shouted and scolded. Military orders are announced. At every distance they walked, they left behind two armor soldiers, armed with long knives, eyeing each other. These people are not here to kill the enemy, but to kill the soldiers who are not effective in battle. Feeling the murderous aura of the warlords, the defenders of the city had to get up and prepare to fight.
The siege soldiers came within range, and the defenders at the head of the city drew their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.
Ampas gave the order, and the arrows were like flying locusts, and they shot at the soldiers under the city. However, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, these arrows were shot higher and farther away, avoiding the soldiers as much as possible, and shooting at the Huns behind them.
Liang Xiao practiced shooting every day, and was very familiar with the trajectory of the arrow, knowing that this was the only thing the defenders of the city could do. In order to save the lives of their compatriots, they used all their strength to try to shoot the arrows farther.
Kind people. Liang Xiao sighed with emotion. He took the black bow from Sigmar's hand, mounted an arrow, and fired an armor-piercing arrow.
The armor-piercing arrows roared away, standing out, flying through the rain of arrows in the sky, flying out more than one hundred and twenty steps.
A Hun was shot by an arrow. He was one hundred and twenty paces from the city, and even an ordinary strong bow could not shoot so far, and he thought he was safe, and he did not take serious precautions at all. Unexpectedly, an arrow burst through the air, pierced his leather armor, and hit his body.
The sudden pain made him lose his panic. He let out a terrible, frightened scream, got up and ran.
The other Huns were taken aback, and one of them rushed up, brandished his sword, and cut him down with one sword, only to find the arrow on his body, and couldn't help but be taken aback. They are all supervising the battle, and they have not yet entered the shooting range, how can they be hit by arrows? He pulled out the arrow, and was just about to study it, when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind in his ears, and when he turned his head, an arrow flew towards him, hitting him in the chest.
The Huns fell to the ground with a bang.
Two of them fell to the ground with arrows one after another, and the other Huns immediately became uneasy, they looked at each other, and they all retreated in unison. In a hurry, they didn't know how far to retreat to be safe, so they could only retreat as far as they could, until they reached the second wave of attacking Dawan.
At this time, they were already forty or fifty steps away from Dawan, who was attacking.
I don't know which person it was, maybe it was from the head of the city, maybe it was from the city, and when I saw the Huns retreating far away, I shouted: "Run-"
The attacking Dawan soldiers heard the wind and ran towards the city wall, shouting as they ran: "Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows, we are also Dawan people-"
In the face of this sudden situation, many people did not react, and even Liang Xiao, the initiator, did not estimate it. Creon was even more dumbfounded and at a loss. Ampas, on the other hand, reacted quickly, and immediately rushed to the wall, shouting loudly that the soldiers should gather under the wall, and that no one should climb the city, and at the same time ordered the bow and arrow to hold the bow and guard the city.
His voice was not loud enough, so he asked the soldiers around him to shout for him. Soon, the defenders at the head of the city shouted in one voice. When the soldiers under the city heard this, they rushed to the city wall and turned their backs to the array.
The Huns found that the situation was wrong and hurriedly rushed over to stop it. Ampas immediately ordered the soldiers of the city to shoot. The rain of arrows was fast and dense, shooting several Huns who rushed in front into hedgehogs, the horses neighed and fell to the ground, and the Huns fell to the ground. Before they could get busy, a few of the soldiers swooped down on them and hacked them to death, ignoring the rain of arrows overhead.
In a matter of moments, more than a dozen Huns fell, all of them were chopped into meat sauce and died.
The soldiers of the city applauded loudly and cheered for the compatriots under the city.
Liang Xiao couldn't help but applaud loudly. The result was unexpected, and Ampas's reaction was very impressive. I didn't expect Ampas, who is usually taciturn, to have such a strain ability, and I really underestimated him. It can be seen that even among the Dawan people, there are wise warriors, but they don't usually have the opportunity to show themselves.
Ampas gave a loud order, ordering the city's men to choose their own officers and take battle under the city. He also had a lot of shields, swords, and other melee warriors go down, armed these soldiers, and sent some food down. The soldiers are yellow and hungry, and it is estimated that they have not eaten enough in these days.
The soldiers under the city wept, and many of the soldiers at the head of the city wept. Seeing the tragic situation of their compatriots, they hated the Huns even more and vowed to fight the Huns to the end.
The Huns in the distance panicked and did not dare to force the remaining soldiers to attack, so they had to escort them back to the main camp.
The first offensive ended hastily.
――
"Whoa!" Wudan swept everything in front of him to the ground, pulling the wound, and the pain made him sweat coldly. He gritted his teeth and hissed and yelled, "Rubbish! You are all waste, Lao Tzu is going to cut you down, he will kill you all, and there will be no one left. ”
The Hun generals looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything, but their expressions were already a little wrong. After Wudan was injured, his mood has been unstable, he has killed several people, and he resolutely refuses to retreat, and he has to capture Suye City. Now that the siege has failed, many soldiers have been lost, morale has been severely hit again, and the idea of retreat has once again surfaced in everyone's minds, but no one dares to mention it to their faces.
"You can't even look at a few captives, what's the use of you?" Wudan was panting and pale. "You ...... You will all become slaves of the Han people in the future, you ...... You are not worthy to be Huns. ”
A commander pouted, just in time to be seen by Wudan. The corners of Wudan's eyes jumped, and he said coldly: "What did you say?" ”
The Centurion took a step back. "My lord, I didn't say anything."
"You said it clearly." Wu Dan turned around, pulled out his war knife, endured the sharp pain of the wound, and moved towards the commander step by step. "Are you saying I'm not worthy to be a Hun? Are you saying I'm not even a man now? ”
Everyone looked stunned. They remembered Udan's wounds, could he ......
At this moment, the wizard walked in with a boy and looked at him coldly. The manic Wudan squeezed his eyes hard and gritted his teeth silently. The wizard waved his feathered sleeves. "Get out of here, and keep your mouths shut."
The Hun generals did not dare to disobey, glanced at the wizard in awe, and retreated.
Wudan gasped and threw the knife on the ground in hatred.
"I said that if you want to take revenge, you must first live." The wizard slowed his tone, raised his hand, and gently stroked Wudan's face. "If you can't control your temper anymore, you'll kill yourself."
"I ......" Wudan slowly crouched down, holding the wizard's leg with both hands, tears welling up in his eyes. God, please teach me what I should do. ”
"I have received the will of the gods." The wizard sighed, "Let's go." If you don't go, the white-haired wind will blow your flag, and the snow will drown your horse's hooves. ”
The wind blew in through the open tent, blowing the fire in the tent low, and blowing Wudan's body chills for a while. He slowly let go of the wizard's leg and fell back on his back on the thick leather mattress, his eyes blank and tears welling up in his eyes. After a few moments, he curled up and let out a long, heart-rending howl.
"Ahh
The wizard shook his head, took a bowl of goat's milk from the boy's hand, and handed it to Wudan's mouth. "Drink, drink well and get some sleep. When you wake up, you won't be in so much pain. ”――
