"Leader, the Qin people haven't opened the door yet, could it be because we ......"
At Gottel's side, a Hun man wearing the leather armor of the Qin army whispered his thoughts to Gotel. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He didn't know why his leader would take on such a seemingly dangerous task, because even he, the Huns, who didn't know the difference between the two sides, knew that there was a big difference in folk customs between the two sides.
Even if there are some things that can hide the past, there are things that cannot be changed.
It's like saying that the Huns themselves have a great taste because of their living habits, and if they are close to the Qin people, if the other party discovers this problem, then they will be easily recognized by the other party.
Although he didn't know why Gotel chose this method, as an ordinary Hun warrior, the words of the leader were the rules he had to follow.
It's not about loyalty, it's about his recognition of Gortle as a leader.
......
And after hearing the words of his cronies, Gottel's feelings were not very complicated?
But when he thought that once he could complete this mission, his tribe would be able to get a rich pasture in the area of Yunzhong County, Gotel thought that he had no other better choice.
In his heart, he didn't know that this task was very risky, and even as the leader of a small tribe, how could he not have heard of the great name of Cloudsdale, a fortified city that had been passed down in the southern country?
It can even be said that even among the Xiongnu, it is said that there is no solid existence that can compare with the city in the clouds.
He knew that he only had one chance, and he had no way out, if this mission failed, even if he was lucky enough to escape a life, but he would not have any good results when he returned to the Huns.
His death was a trivial matter, and the annexation of a tribe that had been passed down from generation to generation was something that Gotl could not accept.
It can be said that since he accepted this task, he, or the small tribe he cares about the most, has no way out.
And perhaps the sky didn't want Gotel to wait longer for his unknown fate, and at this time, the eastern gate of Cloudsdale slowly opened.
Gottel, who saw this, seemed to sense that someone was watching him, but when he looked up at the position of the tower, he didn't see anything.
......
At the same time as the city gate slowly opened, in the woods on a small mound a few hundred meters away, a Hun scout saw the city gate open, and quickly turned around and ran down the small mound, and behind the small mound, there was a horse chewing grass.
When the Hun scout came to his mount, he quickly turned on his horse and ran towards the northern slopes.
He should have stayed for a few more minutes, because he didn't expect that because of his dedication and dedication, the main force of the Aries tribe of the Huns would suffer a heavy loss......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
The disguised grain convoy of the Huns slowly entered the city in the clouds. After seeing that there seemed to be no movement in the city, several Huns, who were in the vanguard, directly waved their weapons at the Qin officers and soldiers next to them.
But what they didn't expect was that before they could get their hands on it, they felt a few spear blades stab into their bodies.
"Ah!!h
This situation was somewhat different from the arrangement envisaged by Yang Wengzi, because according to Yang Wengzi's assumption, he planned to lure all this grain transport team into the Cloud City before launching an attack.
But when he then looked at the grain wagons, he realized that he had probably mistaken what he had thought.
Because the Huns could completely block a few grain trucks in the passage of the city gate, so that the city gate could not be closed. If that happens, it will be a problem.
Although Yang Wengzi didn't think that this was an unsolvable trouble, Yang Wengzi finally made corresponding changes out of the premise of just in case.
That is, he let Jing You's troops lie in ambush under the city wall, and when the Qin officers and soldiers in the city gate passage fought the Huns, they quickly fought into the city gate passage.
In another arrangement, he let the crossbowmen among the garrison officers and soldiers on the city wall lurk under the female wall, as far as possible so that the Huns could not see any clues, and once a battle broke out at the city gate, their task was to block the retreat of the camouflage troops inside the city gate and outside the city as much as possible.
That being said, he himself knew one thing very well, that is, it was very likely that these crossbowmen would directly injure most of these Huns' camouflage troops, but such a situation did not matter, because even if there was no way to make the main force of the Huns throw themselves into the net, in fact, it was not a big deal. After all, Yang Wengzi himself knew very well that he could achieve the final victory by not relying on some effective kills of the Huns, and his task was to hold on to Yunzhong City for as long as possible, and to delay the Huns on the other fronts of the Great Qin Empire on the premise of sufficient troops.
After killing several Hun knights, the Qin light infantry in more than a dozen city gate passages quickly withdrew from the city gate passage, while the other Huns' camouflage troops, after seeing their camouflage exposed, quickly accelerated the speed of their mounts to the space behind the city gate and rushed out at Gottel's command.
But what they didn't expect was that because the city gate passage had already begun to fight, Zhang Wu didn't care about ordering his troops to continue to hide, but after hearing the screams, he ordered his crossbowmen to quickly appear from the hidden area, and then fired the arrows that had already been loaded in their hands towards the vicinity of the city gate passage.
A wave of hundreds of arrows almost covered the entire range of the city gate, and a few Hun riders who rushed out bore the brunt of the attack, and were directly shot into hedgehogs by the sharp arrows.
Not only that, but more than a dozen screams sounded in the passage of the city gate, which also showed that the arrows that flew into the passage of the city gate also killed and injured many Huns.
"Rocket !!"
Zhang Wu quickly issued this order after a wave of arrows was launched.
At this time, the Qin officers and soldiers did not make the next move, but waited for the crossbowmen under Zhang Wu to shoot and cover.
According to the corresponding tactical exercises, the Qin crossbowmen faced the enemy who entered the passage of the city gate, and they had to shoot three times before proceeding to the next step of the infantry fighting for the city gate.
And Zhang Wu's order to release the rocket was mainly based on such a premise.
The rockets of the Qin army are mainly in front of the handle of the arrow, wrapped with a piece of cloth stained with fire oil, and these cloths are easy to ignite, and because the flame will also have a certain impact on the rod handle, generally after the cloth is ignited, these crossbowmen will quickly launch the arrowhead.
And under the ignition of the crossbowmen or even the chief of the crossbowmen holding torches, the crossbowmen who successfully ignited the oilcloth of the arrows in their hands quickly bent their bows and arrows again.
"Put !!"
After the command to shoot again, another wave of arrows was fired.
It's just that compared to the last wave of arrows, when these arrows flew towards the passage of the city gate, they were more like flaming meteors that pierced through the air.
"Ah!!h
Several screams rang out again, and Gotel was stuck between the passage of the city gate and the follow-up troops of the grain caraver.
It wasn't that he didn't see the dense and even fiery arrows flying into the passage of the city gate again, but in the current situation, he had no means to reverse the situation.
He wasn't a fool, and he didn't know that the Qin people had already known that their grain transport team had already been exposed. And for now, he really wanted to continue to kill, but he knew that if he continued to rush forward, he would only die worse.
And choosing to retreat may be a solution, but the next move of the Qin people made him feel that he was already in a desperate situation.
......
When the inside and outside of the gate passage were covered with arrowheads, hundreds of crossbowmen lurking on the city wall quickly stood up from behind the female wall.
They quickly aimed their crossbows at the members of the food convoy that was about to enter the city.
"Put !!"
One by one, the low-ranking officers of the crossbowmen quickly ordered to shoot after seeing that their officers and men were ready.
Arrowheads, which were denser than the gates, covered the members of the team behind the grain caravans.
Many of the Huns and their captives were killed or wounded by the dense barrage of arrows, and a series of screams made the Huns and other surviving slaves somewhat confused.
They didn't expect that to happen.
But the next moment, before more and more crossbowmen could make a second shot, some of the Hun riders, who saw the bad opportunity, quickly pulled their mounts and planned to run away in other directions......
Unfortunately, some of the Qin army's crossbowmen had already received Yang Wengzi's order to shoot the Hun riders who were planning to escape.
These strong crossbowmen of the Qin army can basically be regarded as the category of strong crossbowmen. At a distance of about two hundred meters, a strong crossbowman can achieve a relatively high hit rate for a target that is not moving at high speed, not to mention that the current distance between the front and back of this kind of grain transport team is only about a hundred meters, and the speed of these Hun riders is not fast, which also makes the hit rate of these Qin army strong crossbowmen better.
A Hun rider in the rear quickly turned his horse's head, but before he could speed up his mount and run outward, more than ten strong crossbows quickly covered the area centered on him.
The Hun rider first felt a sharp pain in his waist, and then before he could scream, a crossbow pierced his neck......
And not only the Huns in the rear of the grain caravan, but some of the slaves behind the grain caravan also planned to escape.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the Qin officers and soldiers on the city wall were not only targeting the Huns who made them gnash their teeth, they were also a target.
Compared with the Huns, they basically did not have mounts, but played the role of a folk man to pull ox carts or carriages.
Because of this, they did not become the first targets to be attacked, but after the Huns suffered heavy casualties, those arrows were targeted and shot into their bodies by Qin officers and soldiers.
Yang Wengzi didn't have any idea about such a situation, and in his mind, these people might not be the Huns, because they seemed to be some people in the northern land or very similar to the Qin people.
What's the matter if they were Qin people? In any case, since they helped the Huns do such a thing, whether they were willing or coerced, what did it matter?
Ever since these people appeared in this place, then the results of these people have been decided.
Maybe some lucky people can survive to the end, but Yang Wengzi is not very welcome for these people to appear, because even if they are coerced, but after experiencing this scene, I am afraid that these people will not have the idea of continuing to serve Daqin.
Yang Wengzi has not heard an allusion, that is, the current Great Qin Empire Langzhong Ling Yuyong, is a slave who returned to Liaodong County from the area controlled by the Donghu people in the battle of the Great Wall in Liaodong County a few years ago.
It's just that Yang Wengzi also thinks that this young Lang Zhongling is lucky, and he met a benevolent lord at the most suitable time, if it is replaced by another time, this young Lang Zhongling will not say whether he can get the trust of the lord and become one of the nine kings, Lang Zhongling, just he is on such a journey, he may die.
Therefore, Yang Wengzi did not have other thoughts about the legend of Yu Yong, but he also thought that Yu Yong's luck was good, and that was all.
......
Compared with the indiscriminate shooting of the Qin officers and soldiers, after the Huns reacted, they also found that they simply did not have enough ability to escape.
Because the crossbowmen of the Qin army, although among some of the fast-firing marksmen, the strike distance is not too far, and many of them are wearing armor of various materials, and it can even be said that as long as they are not hit, some Hun riders wearing iron armor can still hold on.
However, most of these Huns rode on horses, and less than a third of the Huns disguised themselves as escort infantry, and these riders became the targets of the crossbowmen of the Qin officers and soldiers at the head of the city.
More and more Hun riders were shot, and a small number of Hun riders who fell off their horses, although they did not die directly, but all of them did not have wounds.
Perhaps, their demise is only a matter of time. (To be continued.) )
