Chapter 460: The Karma Clan
The screams of the military canal grew louder and louder, and its pain was evident, and it lasted for more than half an hour before it gradually became smaller, and then it was inaudible until it was completely cut off.
Zhang Xiu looked at the painful expression on Jun Qu's face, smiled coldly, beckoned a few soldiers and said, "Dig him out, be careful, don't break it." ”
The soldiers carefully dug out the military ditch as they said, but after the general ditch was dug out, they saw a pool of flesh and bones under the soil, and the dug up military ditch was extremely light. The soldiers looked at it fixedly, and almost threw out the military canal in their hands, and it turned out that what was left was only the skin of the military canal!
Peel! It was the skinning that was second to none in the ancient capital punishment that was disposed of in the military canal! Its cruelty is comparable to that of Ling Chi, and Ling Chi did not leave evidence after death, but the layer of skin left by the capital punishment of peeling the skin just served as a deterrent.
The vivid expression on his face showed the misery before his death, Zhang Xiu had no pity in his eyes, and pointed to the skin of the military canal and said loudly: "This person is the most evil, I will now take this person's skin to the front line and hang it, so that the Hu people know that the person who offended me is such an end!" ”
The people were still frightened by the skins of the military canal, but they soon dispersed and cheered loudly. It is not too much to punish the Hu people who killed their relatives and insulted their wives and daughters. Zhang Xiu asked the soldiers to hang the skin of the military canal on the head of the city, and only took it away when the army set off.
When Zhang Xiu and the others returned to the Taishou Mansion, a soldier covered with dark red blood immediately rushed up and said: "Report to the general, the army of the Hu people has arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, and General Hua is fighting on the front line. ”
Zhang Xiu heard this, and after waving off the school, he turned around and looked at Tai Shici, Fa Zheng, and Chen Song a few times, and Zhang Xiu said in a condensed voice: "It came so quickly?" ”
Chen Song said: "The Hu people come and go like the wind, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu has already sent the King of the Right Valley to support, which shows that their main force is not too far from the Great Wall." Fortunately, the lord has already killed the 20,000 Huns in Shangjun, and there is no need to worry about the future at this time, and he can deal with the Hu people with all his might. ”
Fa Zheng nodded when he heard this: "Now General Hua and General Gao only have foot soldiers, although there are bed crossbows and crossbow carts and other mechanical equipment, but without a large number of cavalry to cooperate, these mechanical equipment cannot be of great use. The lord has more than 50,000 elite soldiers here, and he should immediately support the Great Wall, and then cooperate with the Zilong army, with the elite of our army, the strength of the Hu people is comparable to the strength of the Hu people to stop the sharp edge of our army! ”
The current situation is very favorable to Zhang Xiu, there are 100,000 iron cavalry led by Zhao Yun outside, there are 60,000 troops defending the Great Wall, and there are 60,000 troops here, Zhang Xiu has a slight advantage over the strength of the Hu people. Now what Zhang Xiu needs to consider is to kill as many Hu people as possible and prevent them from escaping back to the grassland. So Zhang Xiu immediately discussed the strategy with Tai Shici, Fa Zheng, and Chen Song.
……
Here, Zhang Xiu was discussing the strategy at the same time, at the Great Wall in the north of Shangjun.
At this time, the weather had gradually cooled, the soldiers on the Great Wall were holding cold weapons, and Hua Xiong was nervously looking at the black cavalry in the north that was as many as ants.
A huge horn was raised, and a famous man held this huge horn and couldn't help blowing it away, and the sound of the vast horn sounded, just like the vast grassland in the north.
In the Chinese army, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo was surrounded by a large number of soldiers and generals to watch the Great Wall. For Yu Fuluo, he has seen the Great Wall more than once, but every time he watches, he sighs at the greatness of the ancestors of the Han people, and devotes the strength of the whole country to build a Great Wall on the northern border, which is this Great Wall, which has become a moat to prevent their Hun ancestors from going south.
At this time, there were 70,000 Xiongnu troops under the city, and when they came to the Great Wall, Yu Fuluo already knew that the Great Wall had been recaptured by the Han army, and the opponent was Zhang Xiu, the hussar general of the Han people's Guanxi overlord.
Yu Fuluo is actually very troubled now, the Xiongnu army previously broke through the state, the situation is very good, but it is because of Zhang Xiu's shot, so that half of the army is buried in the state, now only half of the army is left in the control of Fuluo, the loss of the Xiongnu is great, if you can't win in this battle, the prestige will be beaten, then the strength of the Xiongnu is afraid that it will be coveted by the Hu.
In fact, at this time, Yu Fuluo had secretly regretted it, and originally thought that it was better to attack and merge with Yuan Shao as the enemy than to unify Liangzhou and pacify Zhang Xiu, who had pacified the Qiang Rebellion for a hundred years. How do you know that the situation is changing very quickly, Zhang Xiu sent troops to merge the state, and caught the Xiongnu by surprise, causing heavy losses to the Xiongnu. On the contrary, Xianbei, who attacked the central part of Liangzhou, stopped the onslaught because he saw that Liangzhou's defense was strong and it was difficult to fight, so that Xianbei's losses were only a drop in the bucket compared to the Huns.
It is precisely because of the great loss of the strength of the Xiongnu that the central Xianbei Shan Yu Budugen began to point fingers at Fuluo, and now let Yu Fuluo lead the army to attack, which is naturally the result of this fingering. The Hu people pay attention to strength, and without equal strength, they are no longer allies, this is the law of the grassland, and Yu Fuluo knows this best.
Yu Fuluo is not a stupid person, and he is extremely clear about the laws of the grassland. However, both Yu Fuluo and Budugen know that this is not the time to turn their faces, and now the prairie is in short supply of food, if they do not unite to go south at this time, they will have no food available this winter, and the only way is to use troops to the Wuhuan in the east and Xianbei in the east and the Northern Xiongnu in the west to grab food. But how could they have more food than the Han people, so robbing the Han people was the best choice.
Yu Fuluo and Bu Dugen each gave a step, or a little weaker Yu Fuluo led the troops to attack first, although Yu Fuluo led more than 70,000 Huns to come, but they were not the main force of the attack, the real main force is attached to the Xiongnu a slave race, this kind of people are yellow-haired and white-skinned, deep-eyed, high-nosed, and bearded, whether it is compared with the Han people in the south or the Xiongnu in the north, Xianbei and others are completely different, and they are more similar to the Yueshi people in the west.
This slave race is the notorious cannibal race in history, and this time Yu Fuluo led 30,000 men to use them as the main force of the attack.
"Woo...... Woowoo woo ......"
As the sound of the horn gradually became urgent, the Huns under the Great Wall drove out 30,000 yellow-haired, white-skinned, and tall Qiang people from behind the battle. Armed with some rudimentary and old weapons, these men were driven into battle by a large group of Huns.
On the Great Wall, Hua Xiong saw the 30,000 yellow-haired and white-skinned tall men in front of the Xiongnu army, and asked Jia Xu beside him strangely: "Jia Changshi, who are they?" How could it appear in the Hun army. ”
Jia Xu was very knowledgeable, and after listening to Huaxiong's question, he thought for a while, and then said: "If Xu is not mistaken, they should be dependent on the Xiongnu people." This Qian tribe has been attached to the Xiongnu for a long time, and it may have been attached to the Xiongnu when they dominated the grassland and waved their army to the west. Although this Xiongnu tribe is dependent on the Huns, it is no different from slaves, and its status in the steppe is extremely low. However, in general wars, the Huns will not let the Huns go out of battle, and it seems that this time the lord has destroyed two Xiongnu armies in a row, which has already made the Huns hurt. ”
When Hua Xiong heard this, he sighed lightly in his heart, a race that was only a slave under the Huns, no matter how strong it was, it would not be strong anywhere.
"Kill!"
Yu Fuluo waved his horsewhip and shouted, and 30,000 people of the Qiang tribe rushed to the Great Wall with weapons in hand. Yu Fuluo had already issued an order that the Great Wall could not be breached for a day, and their 30,000 Qiang people had nothing to eat for a day, and last night's meal was their last food.
There is no way out for the 30,000 Karma people, there are not many Karma people now, 30,000 are already the vast majority of the men in their entire race, from the seventy old people to the seven-year-old children, and the only ones left in the north and not in the south are the old people who are too old to move around, children under the age of seven and women.
Hearing Fuluo's order, the current leader of the Qiang people, Lu Sang, led 30,000 people to the Great Wall, and he was followed by his eldest son Lu Ji, who was only thirteen years old, and his father Lu Dang, and the three grandsons led the army to rush to the front.
In addition to carrying shabby weapons or remnants, the 30,000 people also carried some simple ladders. The Huns did not know how to build ladders to attack cities, but they had seen the ladders of the Han people, and knew that they could rush up to the city to meet the Han people in the form of ladders, which could be said to be the only way for the Hu people in the north to forcibly take the defense line of the Great Wall.
Hua Xiong looked at the 30,000 people carrying those simple ladders to charge, his eyes showed disdain, and let the soldiers help Jia Xu down first, after all, the soldiers were in danger, and Jia Xu was not young, if he was injured by a stray arrow, he Hua Xiong could not afford it. But after Jia Xu left, Hua Xiong pointed at the approaching man with a big sword with one hand, and shouted, "Archers prepare...... Shoot the arrows! As Hua Xiong shouted, the flag bearer behind him couldn't help shaking the banner and quickly conveyed Hua Xiong's order.
"Woo Woo ......"
Sharp arrows flew out, intertwined into a rain of arrows and poured down towards the rushing people.
"Puff puff ......"
The men were dressed in only single clothes, and had no defenses at all, and the sharp iron arrows easily shot into the bodies of the people, but if they were not hit by the arrows, they did not feel the pain of the wound at all, and continued to rush forward. But it was the Huns who had been abusing them all the time, and they had become accustomed to the existence of pain.
If the arrow is not pulled out, the arrow will be pulled out at this time, and the wound will not stop bleeding, and finally it will lose blood and die of excessive blood loss.
Hua Xiong was greatly surprised when he saw a rain of arrows, only except for the Qi people who were shot at the key point and fell, the rest continued to charge as if nothing had happened. However, after all, the Qiang people did not wear armor, and under the ruthless pouring of arrows, more than 3,000 Qiang people fell on the way to the charge, and the loss was already one. Hua Xiong was surprised, and couldn't help but let the soldiers continue to fire arrows, for such a stoic army, Hua Xiong knew that they must not be allowed to rush to the city to meet his own troops.
While directing the archers to release their arrows, Hua Xiong also shouted: "Quick, get the rolling logs out of the beacon tower, quick!" ”
After losing about a thousand people, the people of the Qiang tribe finally came to the foot of the Great Wall. The sound of "click" continued to be heard, and the simple ladders were set up on the Great Wall, and a Qian man with a weapon in his hand rushed up the ladder.
"Rolling Logs...... Throw it down! ”
"Light crossbowmen...... Launch! ”
"Archer...... Don't stop! Keep firing the arrows! ”
"Sword, shield, pikeman, ready at any time!"
As Hua Xiong's order was conveyed, the real bloody battle began. A thick rolling log was thrown down, and it was smashed under the Great Wall with a whistling sound, and several people under the city who were hit by arrows everywhere saw it, and pushed away those who were not hit by arrows next to them, and they stayed where the rolling wood fell.
"Boom ......"
With a loud bang, the rolling log fell from the towering Great Wall, and with a strong impact, it immediately smashed the heads of the people and fell to the hard earth under the city.
The people who were pushed away didn't say much, and took a few steps to climb the improvised ladder, and climbed up the Great Wall along the ladder.
"Whoosh ......"
Suddenly, the sound of the wind breaking through the sky couldn't help but be heard, and the whistling sound brought by this sharp object breaking through the sky was several times stronger than the whistling sound brought by the sharp arrows shot by the archers, and it was obvious that the speed of fire of this object was extremely fast. Before several people who were climbing along the ladder could react, they felt a few key pains in their bodies, and when they looked down, they saw that small arrows had been inserted into his body, and the whole small arrow almost sank into his body, which showed the strength of the small arrows.
And it was the light crossbow that shot these small arrows that were shot by the Liangzhou Corps, and it has to be said that Yu Fuluo would not choose an opponent, if Yu Fuluo attacked Xihe County, he would face the Chang'an Corps led by Gao Shun. This Chang'an Corps is actually a Guandu soldier, and naturally it is not as well equipped as the soldiers recruited under Zhang Xiu's rule.
A round of light crossbow shots was like a small storm of death, which immediately frustrated the attack of the Qiang people who wanted to rush up the Great Wall from the improvised ladder, and the Qiang people in the ladder without exception fell off the ladder with crossbow arrows in several key points, which shows the high hit rate of crossbow arrows.
Seeing that the crossbow arrows of the Liangzhou Corps were powerful, he knew that the Qian, who only wore single clothes and had no armor, could not rush up, so he picked up the corpse of his father who had just been hit by the crossbow arrow and died beside him, blocked in front of him, and then rushed up again along the improvised ladder.
"Whoosh ......"
The crossbow bolts on the light crossbow were extremely fast, and when they saw the sangs rushing up, they immediately fired crossbow arrows at them. Seeing this, he immediately blocked his father's body in front and above his head, protecting the vital points in all parts of his body.
"Puff puff ......"
A few soft sounds came out, and more than ten arrows were hit on the corpse of the old father, and the Kuang Sang who was hiding behind naturally did not suffer any damage, and took advantage of the Liangzhou Corps soldiers to replace the crossbow arrows, and strode along the ladder to the city.
When the rest of the people saw their leader like this, they immediately followed suit, copied the corpses of their fellow tribesmen beside them, and threw themselves in front of them with a ladder!
