Chapter 88, the Huns iron cavalry broke through the gate

On the fifth day when Meng Tian led the army through Shenmu, the sky was clear, a thousand miles at a glance, standing on the city wall without obstacles, looking at the narrow valley in the undulating mountains outside the pass, and thinking in his heart: "This Xiongnu should also come, is it because I misestimated?"

Wuxian guessed that the reason why Meng Tian led his troops to rush from Lintao to Yanmen Pass must be to get information, the Xiongnu army pressed the border and went to resist, and Wuxian believed that the Xiongnu pressed Yanmen was just a bluff, and the Xiongnu had always been cavalry-based, marching fast, often invading the Central Plains at lightning speed, burning and looting, and then going away, and definitely not choosing to attack.

When he was young, he memorized the maps and topography of these countries, especially outside Yanmen Pass, where he spent the best time and was most familiar.

This Great Wall, built from Lintao to Shenmu in the west, starts from the Yan Great Wall in Liaodong in the east, connects with the Great Wall of Zhao, extends to the Yinshan Mountain Range, and is separated by Deshui in the middle, and is thousands of miles long.

But think, how can such a long Great Wall resist the iron cavalry of the Huns, as the so-called whip is beyond the reach of the whip, the Huns still want to come, want to go, and the Qin soldiers are fighting mobile battles, taking advantage of the void, and even if the Qin army is strong, it can only rush to the west, useless, and can not consume the Huns' iron cavalry.

The reason why Wuxian thinks that the Xiongnu will attack Shenmu is that once Meng Tian's iron cavalry arrives at Yanmen, the rest of the passes will be empty, and the Xiongnu will turn west and attack the nearby Shenmu, Yulin, Yanchi and other places, hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry will easily break through these passes, and when Meng Tian leads troops to defend, the cities around these places will be looted.

......

Vaguely heard the neighing of war horses outside the pass, Wuxian frowned, knowing that the Huns' iron cavalry was coming, and then, the wolf smoke on the Great Wall rose, the horn sounded, and the Wei Bi general hurriedly gathered the soldiers and ran to the city tower to watch.

At this time, the clanging iron cavalry has appeared in front of the Qin soldiers, looking around, there are 30,000 cavalry, behind are ladders, crashes and other siege equipment, black pressure, slow movement, orderly.

Although General Wei Bi has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has no command experience, seeing the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Huns approaching the city, he only defended with 3,000 troops, his mind was blank, he was frightened, and he couldn't give orders for half a day.

The commander asked, "Please give the general an order to arm!"

General Wei said suddenly: "Okay! Give an order!" But looking at the Huns' iron horsemen, he couldn't turn his eyes, his face was pale, and his scalp was numb.

Seeing that General Wei still did not give an order, the commander asked, "Please give an order!"

General Wei said angrily: "You are idiots, do you still need to ask, close the city gate, and defend desperately!"

The commander said: "The subordinates are ignorant, and the subordinates will give the order!"

The Qin soldiers were waiting on the city wall, but every soldier knew that the city could not be defended, cold sweat flowed, and his calves were weak, waiting for death to approach.

The Hun army, slowly came to the city, led by a big man wearing animal skins, muscles protruding, full of fierceness, scattered with curved black hair, like a fierce beast eager to try, sat down a roaring tiger, fangs and forests, sharp claws like blades, the size is even taller than the surrounding war horses, the tiger north cross-legged a long black and shiny goose wing long knife, enough to have a hundred catties, this person is the new rise of the Huns tiger general, Su Ketuo, ranked third in the Huns.

When General Wei Bi saw Su Ketuo, he was half frightened to death, and he ordered: "Prepare the archers, and release the arrows when you see them coming up!"

Su Ketuo squinted at the Qin soldiers on the city wall, the muscles on his face twitched, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Knock the city gate open!"

The Hun cavalry quickly dispersed on both sides, giving way to the passage of more than ten zhang, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from the tail of the formation, the sound of shouting continued, the yellow sand flew and rolled, and in an instant, hundreds of strong war horses, with iron chains pulling heavy cones of ten thousand jun, were driven by the cavalry, rumbling towards the gate, the speed became faster and faster.

If this speed and strength hit the city gate, the city gate would be smashed immediately, and the city wall would collapse instantly, and he shouted in a panic: "Hurry up and release the arrow!"

Thousands of arrows from the city wall like dense rain, 'swish' shot down, these hundreds of war horses are dressed in vests, only the eyes and air vents are exposed, specially designed for siege use, arrows on the back of horses, it is difficult to shoot through, even if a few groups of war horses fall, the chain will be immediately unhooked, the speed of the collision will not have much impact.

Seeing that the crash was about to hit the city gate, at this time, the war horses scattered to both sides, bent and returned, the chains were unhooked, the crash was like an arrow from the string, "boom" sound, instantly smashed the solid city gate, sparks splashed, rubble flew around, "boom" city wall collapsed out of a hole more than ten zhang wide, after the crash smashed the city gate, the remaining momentum remained, the time will be guarded behind the city gate, the soldiers who could not dodge killed dozens of people, rushed out of a hundred zhang, 'boom', hit the rock to stop.

As soon as the city gate was broken, the Qin soldiers were all panicked, and few people would think of escaping, because escaping is death according to Qin law, and only by fighting can there be a chance to live, but in the face of such a tiger and wolf army, the chance of living is too slim.

Wei Bi general calmed down instead, both positive and negative are dead, it is better to die decently, shouted: "The city is in the people, the city is dead!" This sentence is when he followed Wang Ben to capture Liaodong, the soldiers of the Yan State shouted in unison on the city wall, at that time he was just a charging soldier, hearing the shout, he felt quite imposing, he could not be afraid of death, at this time, he actually remembered.

The shouts became louder and louder, and the sound shook the valley, boosting the morale of the Qin soldiers in the face of the upcoming onslaught.

After the city gate was opened, the Huns' cavalry did not attack immediately, but calmly watched the soldiers on the city wall and listened to their shouts.

Jin Xingzi, who was standing on the high mountain wall, said with a smile: "Poor Dao thinks that if this shout can kill the enemy, this world should be a donkey!"

Ling Kongzi 'poofed' and said with a smile: "Big teeth, what you said today makes a lot of sense." ”

Jin Xingzi said leisurely: "The poor Dao is just casual, and this Dao is in my heart!"

Ling Kongzi snorted and took a sip, "Praise you, you are about to ascend to immortal!"

Jin Xingzi said: "Fool, fool! The Tao is different, do not conspire with each other!" and then smiled and said to Wu Ji, who had been silent in front of him: "Little Master, this Hun is also here, and the opportunity is also here, why don't you go and help Wei Lin command the defense, isn't this the time for you to show your skills?"

Wuji looked at the battle that was about to break out at the foot of the mountain, and said calmly: "It's not this opportunity, we still need to wait!"

Jin Xingzi said: "In my opinion, there is no need to wait, I just went to meet that tiger!"

Wu Barrier said: "Even if I resist the invasion this time, I can only be a soldier who defends the city, and if I want to leave, it will be difficult, and the merit of defending the city and the merit of annihilation are too different, this Wei Lin also needs to be removed, although he doesn't know why I came here, but it is not appropriate to keep him, I can't go wrong in the slightest." ”

Jin Xingzi said: "It seems that no one gives us wine to drink!"

Ling Kongzi reprimanded: "You just want to drink, that wine is only worth a few dollars, the money we gave him, you can buy a few cars, and the wine is also obtained by the little master, follow the little master in the future, are you still worried about not drinking!"

Jin Xingzi muttered: "I'm just talking casually, you are still serious." ”

......

The Qin soldiers on the city wall shouted for a long time, and seeing that the Xiongnu were not in a hurry to attack, the sound gradually stopped.

Suketuo smiled contemptuously, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

The horn sounded, the Hun iron cavalry rushed to the city gate like a tsunami, rumbling loudly, the yellow sand rolled, the earthquake trembled, seeing that they were going to the city wall, they all opened their bows, thousands of arrows, shot to the city.

When the Qin soldiers saw the arrows coming at their faces, they immediately took out their shields to block them, or hid behind the wall, not daring to show their heads, and the Wei Bian general saw that the cavalry was about to pass through the gate, and shouted angrily: "Hurry up and release the arrows, quickly release the arrows!"

After several soldiers heard the order, they were ready to release the arrows, but before the bow could be opened, they were killed by the arrows, who dared to get up and release the arrows again, and in an instant, there were hundreds of iron horsemen, over the gravel, rushed through the gate, lit up the scimitars, and fought with the defenders under the city, the blood was light, and the shouts of killing, sonorous, and screams continued.

When the rain of arrows stopped, the Qin soldiers panicked and pulled their bows and shot at the cavalry under the city, the Hun cavalry raised their shields to resist, and some cavalry were shot by arrows, and people turned over on their backs, but the vast majority of the cavalry still continued to pour into the pass, hundreds of Qin soldiers under the city, or died under the iron cavalry, or were hacked to death by scimitars, and there were thousands of conscripts holding wooden poles, iron rods, etc. to resist, but this resistance was powerless, the Hun cavalry picked up the knife, like cutting wheat, hacked to death the thin conscription, the blood flowed like a river, and the screams shook the sky.

The Hun soldiers along the passage, killed on the city wall, and fought with the Qin soldiers on the city wall, and people on the city wall kept falling down, and after landing, their brains burst and they were drenched in blood.

Wei Bi General has been in a desperate fight, brave and abnormal, the spear in his hand, a shot stabbed down, it is a Hun screaming, but there are too many Hun soldiers on the surge, he can't kill at all, his body gradually collapsed, killing and killing, and found that there are few Qin soldiers left.

At this time, only a tiger roar was heard, Su Ketuo rode the Howling Tiger, jumped from the passage to the city wall, the surrounding Huns got out of the way, and the Qin soldiers were also frightened to retreat, the thick claws of the Howling Tiger, 'Poof!' stepped on the ground, slowly walked towards the Qin soldiers, Su Ketuo held a long knife with black goose wings in his hand, his eyes were full of murderous energy, and his facial muscles kept beating, like a beast about to attack, the long knife suddenly roared up, and instantly cut off the bodies of several Qin soldiers, and the blood column spurted out of the sky.

Wei Bi General knew that Su Ketuo came up to take his head, and he definitely couldn't dodge, so he waved his spear and stabbed at Suke Tuo, Su Ke Tuo saw the spear stabbing at him, snorted coldly, showed a contemptuous gaze, waved the long knife, drew a black semicircle, and swept over with a roar, 'bell', the spear was cut off and flew out, 'click', Wei Bi's head flew up, and the blood column spurted out more than three zhang high.

At this moment, General Wei Bi saw the scenery above and below the city, blood flowed like a river, there was no Qin soldier left, and he saw three figures on the high mountain in the distance, who could no longer be seen.
