In fact, the Huns did not have many means of attacking fortified cities, and they were even inferior to those of the Donghu people. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info please search and see the most complete!

After all, this has a direct relationship with the fact that the Huns themselves are nomadic people, while the Donghu people are mainly fishing and hunting, and their emphasis on military strength is naturally different from that of the Huns.

It's just that even if the Huns are not good at attacking strong cities, this does not mean that Yang Wengzi will take the Huns lightly.

This started when Yang Wengzi watched a force of four or five thousand Huns launch an attack on the north gate of Yunzhong City alone, although he was a little stunned and even ridiculed the Huns' disunity, but he did not intend to let these Huns launch a fierce attack like this.

According to Zhang Jiashi's original idea, defensive trenches should be arranged on the periphery of Yunzhong City to reduce the strength of the Huns' cavalry as much as possible.

However, Yang Wengzi vetoed this approach, because such a trench could actually play a little more than a big effect, if the Huns rushed into these trenches regardless of losses, and fought with the garrison in the trenches, then if the Huns killed all the officers and soldiers in the trenches, then these trenches would become a place where the Huns posed a greater threat to the crossbowmen of the city walls of Yunzhong.

This is something that Yang Wengzi does not want to see.

But I have to admit that Zhang Jiashi's combat idea, which can be regarded as quite new, makes Yang Wengzi feel a sense of admiration.

This method of warfare is not useless, but for Cloudsdale, this method obviously does more harm than good, but for the barracks built in the plains, this trench combat system can still be quite effective in increasing the defensive capability of this barracks, and even to some extent, to avoid this barracks from being launched by the enemy as much as possible.

And looking at the formation of the Huns advancing, Yang Wengzi could naturally think of what method the other party planned to use to launch an attack on Yunzhong City.

That is, a large number of Hun riders suppressed the crossbowmen on the city wall by running and shooting, and some of the infantry responsible for climbing the city took the opportunity to climb the city wall through the ladder.

This method of combat is not necessarily useless, after all, the Huns' running efficiency is inferior even in terms of cavalry archers in the Great Qin Empire, not to mention that it is not a person who can be compared with the Donghu people who completely rely on cavalry as their main combat force.

Yang Wengzi wondered why the Huns did not use some large-scale siege equipment, the Huns did not lack this kind of thing, and from the city wall looking at the Hun formation a few hundred meters away, you can see a lot of siege towers rushing on standby.

Yang Wengzi couldn't help but have a sad feeling about this Xiongnu army that was preparing to attack the city. Obviously, this Xiongnu force has become an outcast of the Huns to test the defensive capabilities of Yunda, and if the Huns launch a large-scale offensive, there is no reason not to use the necessary heavy siege equipment.

Perhaps for the commander of this Hun army, the other side is also well aware of this, but for the other party, maybe he has no way to retreat.

Although Yang Wengzi is not a Xiongnu, he is not a person who has a deep understanding of the Xiongnu. However, more than ten years ago, when he commanded a partial division to capture the Hetao area, he naturally had a partial understanding of the social state of the Huns.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Wengzi feels sad for this Hun army, because he can understand or imagine one thing, that is, if the other party turns back like this, he will inevitably get a worse result than the annihilation of the entire army.

It's just that for such a thing, Yang Wengzi will not be merciful to the Huns. In the attack on the Hetao area that year, Yang Wengzi slaughtered many small Xiongnu tribes that had lost their ability to resist.

For Yang Wengzi, there is an obvious thought in his heart, that is, since he is not of my race, his heart must be different, so it is better to simply kill all these people.

From some of Zhang Jiashi's statements, as well as Yang Wengzi's more than ten years in the frontier, he can clearly know one thing, that is, there are not only so many forces in this world, but on the other side of the vast ocean, on the land west of the Great Wall, there are also more unknown forces.

Yang Wengzi had an ambition in his heart, that is, he hoped that in his lifetime, he would be able to lead Qin officers and soldiers, or the commander of a force, to see the situation at the other end of the continent.

What Yang Wengzi didn't expect was that this ambition or the desire buried in Yang Wengzi's heart would only become Yang Wengzi's regret in the end.

Because what even Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that three years later, before the Great Qin Empire was ready to launch its first large-scale active attack on the Huns, Yang Wengzi, a veteran who was already in his seventies, died of illness in the post of county guard in Yunzhong County.

Perhaps for Yang Wengzi, his biggest regret is not that he did not see the end of the mainland, but that he did not hear the news of the Great Qin Empire's northern expedition to the Xiongnu......

"Three hundred meters!"

A Qin Juntun shouted these words loudly.

Dozens of Qin army crossbowmen near him quickly pointed their crossbows at the sky.

On this city wall, many Qin crossbowmen quickly pointed their crossbows and crossbows at the sky obliquely after their respective commanders reported the distance of the Huns.

"Put !!"

Nearly 2,000 arrows shot into the sky.

And after shooting the arrows of the crossbow in their hands, this row of Qin army crossbowmen quickly retreated, and the row of crossbowmen who had already loaded the arrows in the back shot the arrows in their hands diagonally into the sky again.

After three shots, nearly seven thousand arrows had already been fired from the sky.

And after these arrows fell in three parts, the Huns immediately paid the price of two or three hundred casualties.

Using 7,000 arrows to use the method of projectile is just to make the Huns pay the price of two or three hundred casualties, whether it is worth it, Yang Wengzi does not know, but he knows very well that instead of letting the Huns play the advantage of running and shooting against the Qin officers and soldiers, it is better to take the lead first.

It's just that Yang Wengzi himself can think that these arrows are basically impossible to recover.

For Yang Wengzi, whether these arrows can be recovered is not too important, he knows that these Huns will probably choose to attack directly in this situation.

......

Just as Yang Wengzi thought, before the forward troops entered the distance of shooting, the troops marching behind were killed and injured by three waves of arrows falling from the sky, and the heart of the leader of the Xiongnu tribe couldn't help but twitch in pain.

But he knew very well that Qin Ren's methods were just pediatrics, after all, the weather was relatively cold at this time. Most of the Huns were wearing a few furs, and the Qin people chose to throw at this distance, which happened to be able to effectively weaken the defensive ability brought by this thick fur.

So many of the Huns who are now nothing more than wounded, and the result that awaits them is death.

After all, compared to the relatively effective military medical system of the Great Qin Empire, the current Huns are only some important people who have some witch doctors. Most of the Huns were wounded in the great battle, and more often than not, they had to resign themselves to fate.

Therefore, after seeing that the warriors under his command suffered such a blow, the leader of the Hun tribe turned his heart and directly ordered the whole army to charge.

The Hun riders continued to speed up their mounts under their crotches, but the Hun riders in front had not yet thrown their bows and arrows onto the walls of Cloud City, and another wave of dense arrows rained diagonally towards them.

Unlike the arrowhead that was shot just now, the arrow that was shot this time obviously used the method of flat shooting.

The flat shooting method gave the Hun riders in front of them a relatively accurate hit rate and a much more powerful arrow penetration.

Many Hun riders, after screaming, would simply be pierced through their bodies by the crossbows of the strong crossbows.

This kind of injury was undoubtedly a more fatal injury to the Huns, who were relatively short of medicine.

More often than not, however, the Huns rode their horses past their companions or simply let their mounts step on them, and then continued to rush over.

What they didn't expect was that after paying nearly two hundred casualties, the number of arrows fired at the walls of Cloud City was increasing.

And the arrows that came over this time were not only the arrows that were fired flat, but even the arrows that were thrown away.

Some of the horsemen of the Huns who fell off their horses would be nailed to the ground directly by these arrows falling from the sky if they were unlucky.

Many of the Huns let out a weak scream, but many more did not make a sound.

They are dead, or in a deep coma, waiting for death to come.

......

Yang Wengzi looked at the arrows flying overhead, and he knew that this was the phenomenon of a group of archers called longbowmen shooting blindly outside the city under the city walls.

For Yang Wengzi, this kind of longbow does not have any feeling for the latter, because in many ways, in addition to having some advantages in range, this kind of longbow is not as good as some compound bows with greater tension in terms of penetration and rate of fire.

It's just that after Yang Wengzi saw this situation, he could only secretly shake his head about the actual combat ability of this longbow.

This is because this longbow is said to be more complex in terms of craftsmanship than some strong bows that are relatively more powerful.

He didn't understand why this kind of longbow, which didn't seem to have much actual combat significance, would become the standard equipment of the Great Qin Empire, but Zhang Jiashi himself wouldn't say that these longbows actually had their own place to play.

Yang Wengzi didn't know what Zhang Jiashi was thinking, and he quickly gave the order to stop the shooting of the longbowmen.

At this time, the shields of the large shield soldiers in front of the crossbowmen came one after another.

And the appearance of these sounds means that the Huns finally reached a relatively effective distance of running.

Most of the bows and arrows fired were unable to kill and injure the Qin officers and soldiers who were relatively effectively protected, especially the Qin heavy infantry that formed the shield array, and they were unlikely to be hit by the bow and arrows.

But on the other hand, because of the Qin crossbowmen who needed the shooting angle and vision, although they also got some shield cover, but more, the protective effect given to them by these shields was not strong.

Some of the Huns' bows and arrows pierced the not-so-small gaps in the iron shield and hit some of the hapless Qin crossbowmen.

Perhaps some of the crossbowmen were wearing armor, and the bows and arrows of the Hun riders were of relatively inferior quality, and even these arrows could not penetrate the not too thick armor pieces, but many of the crossbowmen who were hit would soon be dragged to the back and then sent to the city by the rear personnel for medical treatment.

The confrontation between the Huns and the Qin army was in fact a confrontation between the hit rate.

With the advantage of mobility, the Huns were shooting at each other, and it was difficult for even an experienced Qin crossbowman to accurately hit the opponent.

And the Huns had an even worse shooting percentage.

But after the Hun riders paid nearly a thousand dead and wounded, the infantry units of the Huns had approached a range of about two hundred meters to the wall of the city.

These Hun infantry can be said to have an advantage over the riders in terms of equipment, and some of the Hun infantry even had armor such as armor.

This was a bit of a surprise for Yang Wengzi, who was observing the situation of the Huns under the cover of the shield.

Because in Yang Wengzi's understanding, the infantry of the Huns is generally cannon fodder, and few people are willing to become infantry soldiers. Because it means that they have given up their most advantageous means of mounted archery.

But these Huns wearing armor, the armor styles on their bodies are very mixed, and even have some armor styles that look rusty and even outdated in Yan and Zhao.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Wengzi quickly thought of what was going on. That is, it is very likely that these Huns deliberately gathered these armors and then specially equipped them with some personnel.

As for the original owner of these armors, Yang Wengzi knew that as long as there was no accident, then it would inevitably be the result of a long time ago.

But what Yang Wengzi himself didn't know was that most of the rusty armor was similar in style. And the number of these armors is about six or seven hundred.

What Yang Wengzi didn't know was that when he attacked Daidi along the Great Wall of Zhao more than 20 years ago, he had heard a legend that in the former Cloud City, when the defenders of Zhao State were wiped out, they finally chose to take refuge with the Huns.

And these armors are the relics of the defenders of the Zhao State who were wiped out at that time...... (To be continued.) )
