Chapter 818: He Hunting City
Ten days later.
On the shore of Yinsec Lake, under the city of He.
The sky was bright, the defenders in the city yawned and handed over the rotation, and the commander headed by the commander thought of the white and tender body in the warm quilt, and his heart was inexplicably a little angry, and he scolded at the head of the city: "Hurry up and get out, the army is going to the east, and the birds don't come here, what are you guarding." ”
"Don't be foolish, watch your head." The commander who went on a rotation reminded him.
"It's not okay to complain, huh? Get out—"
The handover ended quickly, the new soldiers joked with each other, they didn't have the heart to be vigilant, some people even ran down the city to buy breakfast, the wind in the early morning was a little cold, everyone wrapped their hands around their bodies, and walked around at will.
Suddenly, one of them shouted in surprise: "Elder Qianfu, look, what is that?" ”
Everyone looked at what they were pointing in amazement, only to find that a cavalry was coming slowly, huge in scale, not slow, but giving people a kind of coercion from the translation of the mountains, and they were all moved, and they all stared at it with wide eyes.
The commander of the thousand was vigilant, and found that the flag that the comer had waved was very special, and when he got closer and found that he had never seen it, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack, quickly, warn!" ”
"Bang Bang!"
An elite gong suddenly sounded, spreading throughout He Hunting City.
He Hunting City is not big, built near the lake, located in the east of Broken Leaf City, fast horses about a day away, only stationed 5,000 foot soldiers to guard, looking at the army that came all over the mountains, the guards of the city were panicked, and they all looked at the commander.
A centurion walked quickly to the commander and whispered, "My lord, the south is Shule, and it is mountainous, and the road is difficult, how can there be an unknown army suddenly killed?" Could it be the Hanzhou Army? ”
"Impossible, the Hanzhou army is in Moon Bow City, and I heard that our army is stable over there in Moon Bow City." The commander said in a deep voice, his eyes full of shock.
"Could it be that another Hanzhou army wants to come to our rear?"
After hearing this, the commander's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly advised: "It is very likely, go back immediately to report, and release the flying eagle for help, once the city of He Hunting City is broken, the enemy will threaten Broken Leaf City, and then it will be troublesome." ”
The centurion said yes and hurried away.
The elder shouted: "Warriors, if you want to stay alive, cheer up and prepare for battle!" ”
Everyone drew their swords, drew their bows, and stared nervously at the approaching army.
When the army in the city heard the news, they rushed to the city.
Outside the city, the army slowly stopped.
In order to relieve the siege of Moon Bow City as soon as possible, the day after taking Daman City, Qin Huaidao sent Xue Wanche as the vanguard to lead the army north, and came to kill and put pressure on the Turks.
Xue Wanche rode his horse forward for a distance, stopped his horse, and built a pergola to observe He Hunting City, but it was only one zhang high, the soil was tamped into a wall, there were not many defenders in Chengtou Mountain, the weapons were mainly wooden bows, a small number of iron spears and knives, wearing leather armor, and some did not even have leather armor, and the morale was average.
Fighting most of his body, Xue Wanche was too experienced, and he could see the depth of the opponent at a glance, and when he looked back at him, the five division commanders quickly urged him forward.
Xue Wanche did not immediately give the order to attack, but looked at a sturdy man behind him.
The other party clamped the horse's belly between his legs, urged the horse forward, hugged his fists and said, "What does General Xue command?" ”
"Yes, you artillery battalion brothers blow up the city gates."
"For trivial matters, please also ask General Xue to suppress with a bow and arrow, and cover the brothers to go up."
"It should." General Xue politely replied, the artillery battalion is the treasure of the King of Han, and it can also assist in breaking the city, so he can't be lazy, and immediately looked at a division commander beside him and said: "Adjust the archers to go up, suppress the city head for me, and don't allow them to shoot down even one arrow, can you do it?" ”
"Guaranteed to get the job done." The other party solemnly clenched his fists and saluted, pulled the horse's head, and prepared to go.
A division of 7,000 people and at least 3,000 archers, all of which are drawn out to suppress the head of the city, can definitely suppress the opponent to death, and can also consume the enemy in a wave.
Xue Wanche knew the combat effectiveness of his army very well, and was not worried, he looked at the other division commander and admonished: "Once the city is broken, lead the army to kill it, not a single defender will be left, and the people will not be able to move, ruining the reputation of the King of Han, Lao Tzu will be the first to cut off your head, understand?" ”
"Obey!" The other party solemnly replied, and also pulled the horse away, ready to go.
The remaining three division commanders saw that nothing had happened to them, their eyes were full of envy, and Xue Wanche continued: "You three don't have to be envious, you finally grabbed the position of pioneer, how can the old man be satisfied with breaking a city?" After taking He Hunting City, he had a full meal, and continued to go north while the news was not leaked, and took Broken Leaf City for King Han, which was a great achievement. ”
The Turkic army besieged Moon Bow City, and almost all the logistics materials were transported to Broken Leaf City for transit, if it was won, the credit would not be mentioned, and a division commander excitedly hugged his fists and said: "The last general, please be the vanguard, take the first step." ”
"Here along the lake to the east for half a day is the ice city, according to intelligence, there are only three thousand defenders, you lead the troops to rush to the march, bring a few explosives bags, and take the ice city in one go, how to fight you decide, this general has only one request, bring all the loot such as grain and grass."
"General Xie Xue, if it can't be completed, the last general will come to see you." The other party was overjoyed, this was an independent leader to fight, once he won, all the military merits would be counted on his head, so he hurriedly beat his horse and left, for fear that Xue Wanche would regret it.
"Don't worry, you two take He Hunting City, and you two lead your troops to Broken Leaf City with this general."
"Thank you, General Xue!" The two were overjoyed.
After a few words, countless archers rushed to the front, marched forward with neat steps, stopped at the position of a stone's throw, and drew their bows and arrows.
At this time, when the defenders saw the archers coming up, they also shot arrows in a panic, but the city wall was so wide that the five thousand defenders could not all gather on one wall, and at most only a few hundred people could stand.
In a hurry, hundreds of feather arrows flew in, and the strength was obviously not enough, and they fell in front of everyone.
The second round of attacks fell quickly, the range was farther, and many fell into the crowd, but they were avoided by everyone, and before the enemy launched a third round of attacks, the Hanzhou army counterattacked.
"Peng!"
A bowstring exploded, and thousands of people fired their arrows almost simultaneously.
Thousands of arrows shot into the sky, making a piercing screech and heading straight for the city, obscuring the sky and the sun.
The defenders at the head of the city were so startled that they didn't bother to shoot the arrows in their hands, and they all looked for a place to dodge, or crouched.
In the blink of an eye, the feather arrows fell into the sky, most of them fell into the city, and only a few fell on the city, with average lethality, but full of deterrence.
Without waiting for the enemy to counterattack, another round of feathered arrows roared away, and the suppressed enemy did not dare to show his head.
Several brothers from the artillery battalion who came with the army rushed forward with explosives bags, holding shields in one hand to prevent accidents, and quickly rushed to the doorway under the city wall.
Xue Wanche saw people rushing up, and immediately ordered the archers to stop shooting to avoid wasting feather arrows, his heart was full of emotion, thinking about the siege of the city, in order to break open the city gate, he had to take a large number of lives to fill it, and it may not be successful, and now a few rounds of feather arrow suppression are enough.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion suddenly sounded, and the entire hole in the city gate collapsed, and a large area fell on both sides, and the people on the city also fell, and were buried in the pile of dirt, and the dust was flying.
"Shhh
"Or is the wall too weak?"
Xue Wanche looked at the collapsed city wall, his heart was ecstatic, and he roared angrily: "Attack-"
"Kill—"
The soldiers who had already been ready rushed up one after another, and the soldiers defending the city were already stunned, looking at the opponents who rushed up in a daze, forgetting to counterattack, forgetting to flee, motionless, and stunned.
The unknown is the most frightening!
The Hanzhou army took the opportunity to rush up, and the war horses stepped on the collapsed earthen wall into the city, like a torrent, and soon flooded the city, pouring into the city, and then countless shouts and killings sounded, one after another.
Xue Wanche was in a good mood when he looked at this scene, raised his eyes and looked north, and finally got the pioneer, where can a small He Hunting City be satisfied?
When the husband should open up the territory and expand the territory, how can he slack off because of his age?!
