Lonely City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the border city has no intention of being with a lonely city.

Millions of Hulu iron horsemen wrapped the whole city in the middle, like an iron barrel, impermeable, four directions, each surrounded the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Di.

It's like Mount Tai collapsing, trying to smash the entire city to pieces.

......

The north gate tower of the outer city.

Li Mu stood on the city tower, looking at the black Hulu Iron Rider outside the city, and there was a black patch in the distance, linked to the sky, and there was no end in sight.

The city was surrounded by Hu Lu iron horses, and there was no gap to be seen, and even the slave fighting field not far away had already been smashed and shattered by the angry Hu Lu.

Because, Hu Lu saw the Jingguan that was piled up with more than 40,000 Hu Lu corpses.

"Great Commander, I didn't expect these Hulu to come so quickly, but fortunately, our outer city has been built, and the city gates have been sealed with bricks and stones."

Xiang'er was dressed in armor and stood on the city tower, beside Li Mu.

Approaching the battle array, her title for Li Mu naturally changed from a son in her leisure time to a commander in the barracks.

"Come quickly, just stay here."

Li Mu looked at the Hulu Iron Cavalry outside the city, he didn't expect these Hulu to come so quickly, it only took a month to wipe out the entire Yanbei, and then gather in the border city.

From this point of view, the Great Wei Kingdom, since the death of King Ran Tian, there is really no one to carry the tripod.

Sigh.

"What's wrong with the Grand Commander?"

Xiang'er heard Li Mu's sigh and hurriedly asked, her eyes full of worry.

Li Mu shook his head and looked at this outer city, which cost the lives of tens of thousands of Hulu slaves and took two years to build.

Each side of this outer city is six miles long, a total of twenty-four li, and the external structure of the outer city is in the shape of a bow, that is, the bottom of the city wall is very wide and thick, and the higher it goes, the thinner it becomes, and when it reaches a certain height, it will be widened and thickened.

The outer bow-shaped wall has the advantage of greatly reducing the enemy's chance of successfully climbing the city during the siege.

Moreover, the walls of the outer city are very high, more than ten meters high, coupled with its bow-shaped shape, which can make many siege ladders useless.

Also, the outer city is not just a city wall.

In the inner part of the outer city, that is, on the side facing the inner city, the city wall is actually hollowed out, and at the place where the city wall is ten meters above the ground, it is hollowed out, and there are pillars supporting the top of the city wall, and the female wall above, the city tower.

This is where the most important thing of the entire city wall is located, the mechanism of the city wall.

At this time, every independent organ here was already standing with shackled slaves, as well as the members of the camp of life and death who guarded these slaves.

......

On the city wall, Li Mu looked at the outer city wall under his feet and exclaimed: "This outer city wall is well built. ”

Xiang'er didn't say proudly: "This is all thanks to the method handed over by the Great Commander to the craftsman's workshop, if there is no cement and red bricks, in two years, even if it costs tens of thousands of Hulu slaves, we will not be able to build this outer city." ”

It's not that she deliberately touted Li Mu.

Because to build the outer city according to the ancient method of building a city, glutinous rice juice, Sanhe soil, and green bricks, no matter what, it requires a lot of materials, manpower, and time.

Located in the north, Sanhe soil is easy to find, glutinous rice juice, but it is not easy to get, that is the grain of the south, the north can not be grown.

Now it is the period of the Central Plains of the Five Hu Rebellion, the north and the south are cut off, where to find glutinous rice juice in the north to make the adhesive for pouring the city wall and casting the city wall.

Even if everything is ready, the construction of such a wall of an outer city will not be completed in ten years.

However, with cement, red bricks are different.

Red bricks can be made of local materials, cement, nothing more than a kind of stone to burn, and then milled into powder, these materials are easy to find in the north.

The land of Yanbei can be seen everywhere.

There is a lot of land in Yanbei, stone mountains, and Yanbei.

As long as these two things are used up, they can immediately dig on the spot, open the mountain to get stones, burn red bricks, and cement out, and do not delay the construction of the outer city at all.

Therefore, this outer city was completed in two years, costing the lives of tens of thousands of Hulu slaves, before the Hulu attack.

In order to make the outer city become the best barrier against the Hulu Iron Cavalry.

......

Li Mu shook his head at Xiang'er's words and said, "Without your efforts, no matter how good the method is, no matter how good the thing is, it will not be able to become this iron curtain to protect the women of the Han family in the city." ”

Xiang'er retorted: "No, the iron curtain that protects us is not the city wall, it is the great commander. ”

Li Mu smiled.

At this time, the Hulu outside the city finally moved.

After seeing Hu Lu's abnormal movements, the Thousand Feather Wenwei next to him reported: "Great Commander, there is an abnormal movement in Hu Lu's military formation, as if it is about to attack the city." ”

"Oh."

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled and looked outside the city, the black and oppressive Hulu iron horse, the Hun iron horse.

Xiang'er saw that there was indeed a strange movement from the Hulu Iron Cavalry outside the city, so she proposed: "Great Commander, do you want to let the Thousand Feather Guard, the life and death camp prepare?" ”

"Yes."

Li Mu nodded, and then said, "Go and get my battle halberd." ”

"No."

Xiang'er received the order, turned around and left the castle tower, and began to prepare for the war.

......

At the same time.

In the battle formation of the Huns, a group of iron horsemen ran out, and when they came to a place not far from the city wall, they began to shout loudly.

"Listen to the Han slaves in the city, my Hun Da Dan Yu has an order, asking you Han slaves to open the city gate immediately, otherwise when the city is broken, it will be the day of the slaughter."

"Open the gates, open the gates."

"Either slaughter the city, or slaughter the city."

......

The Huns shouted in front of the city, so that the other three sides of the Hulu also shouted and scolded.

......

Only Li Mu on the city wall looked calm, took out the big bow from the 'independent private space', then bent the bow and shot an arrow.

The next moment.

The mouth of a Hun who shouted the most was pierced by a sharp arrow.

"I'm irritable, attacking a city is attacking a city, playing what is called a formation, not a cultural person, I have to pretend to be something to read a book."

......

At this time, the arrow shot by Li Mu and the Huns he shot were like a clarion call for the beginning of the war, igniting the flames of the Huns at once.

The Hun Da Dan Yu, who was in the center of the battle array, saw that the warriors under his command were shot, became furious, drew the scimitar at his waist, and pointed straight at the border city.

"Kill, slaughter this city of the Han family!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

......

And Li Mu also ordered at the same time: "The city crossbow is ready." ”

"No!"

A thousand-feathered guard answered the order.

"City crossbow, release!"

"Put!"

"Put!"

......

For a while, I saw that on the wall of the outer city, huge crossbow arrows suddenly flew out of the city wall, flying towards the Huns who rushed over.
