"Iron Wheel!"

When He Ruoyi saw it, he couldn't help but exclaim, he was born in Jiangmen, he was well-read and knowledgeable, and he was especially good at the art of car warfare.

It's just that it has never been useful, so I've been studying it as a hobby.

The real reason for this is simply because the times have changed, and although the chariot is fierce, it is no longer suitable for the current war situation.

After all, the main object of the war at this time, from the civil war, turned into the nomads of the north.

Whether it is the northern mountains or the open grasslands, the threat of the chariot to the nomads is very limited, as a chariot only suitable for the plains, it basically does not play a big role, so it is slowly not reused.

However, this did not prevent the nomads from using it against the agrarian peoples......

He watched quietly, and after a while, he suddenly heard the war drums thundering, and the previous crossbow was actually lifted up by four barbarian strongmen.

"Shoulders!"

With a loud shout, the first two people stood up, the last two knelt, the crossbow was erected on the shoulders of the four people, aiming at the West Gate Tower, and the remaining two strode forward and put on the arrow and crossbow, needless to say.

Behind them, three hundred barbarian archers were full of strong bows and heavy arrows, and the black heads of the arrows were aimed at the high platform of the West Gate.

He Ruoyi's eyes were cracked, and he suddenly shouted: "Commander Xiao, two brothers, come down quickly!" After saying that, he turned around and galloped down the castle tower, his clothes and armor scattered, and he was very embarrassed. The four people behind him also looked terrified, and then crawled and touched and followed He Ruoyi.

As soon as the words fell, a dull sound of breaking the air was heard in the distance, and at the same time, five crossbow arrows jumped into the sky, crackled, and dispersed.

Yang Tingfeng raised his eyes and saw five large arrows comparable to spears lined up, like five flying snakes rushing towards him.

He knew that the arrow was powerful, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he put his hands out together, and turned around with Xiao Wolf and left.

After a while, I only heard the sound of "Peng", like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

In a moment, there was another loud bang, fifteen times in a row, and the last one was so deafening that something seemed to collapse.

Yang Tingfeng knew that it was the earthen stone wall that was shattered by this strong crossbow.

This broken city crossbow can almost make the blue brick city wall of the imperial capital shoot through, let alone the earthen wall of a beacon tower?

Without the earthen wall and stone wall, in an instant, the three hundred barbarian archers were overflowing with arrows, and the black arrows whistled out of the string, and the sound of breaking the sky suddenly resounded in the sky, and the strength was overwhelming, like a gale.

Yang Tingfeng chuckled in his heart and shouted, "Stick to the wall!" With that, the three of them clung to the wall, straightened their chests and sucked their stomachs, and did not dare to move again.

Seeing that the rain of arrows was about to fall, He Ruoyi suddenly threw away the knife that was already in the gap in his hand, and Huo Ran ordered, "All retreat and move closer to the young general." Before he could finish speaking, his armor moved, and he fled like a wind.

But it was still a step too late, and for a while, there was a loud cry.

Yang Tingfeng screamed at first glance, and when he looked over, the soldiers in the north of the night were already dead and wounded all over the place, their bodies were full of arrows, and the blood stained the red and yellow sand.

This round of arrow rain actually damaged most of the soldiers, and most of the rest were wounded.

He Ruoyi and the three elders were also hit by arrows, their clothes and armor stained with blood, and they still ran away.

At this time, the horizon began to turn slightly white, and a round of bright sun and bright moon slowly rose in the night sky.

Under the sky of the sun and the moon, tens of thousands of people fought fiercely in a narrow western beacon fire, the bloody wind roared, and the people shouted and neighed never stopped.

On a mound not far from the West Beacon Fire, a black banner of the king of Xu, waving in the wind, swaying. Next to the Daxu Banner, Huo Yixuan was like a statue, listening to the sound of fighting in the West Beacon Fire, his facial muscles twitched slightly, and he stared motionless into the distance.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped in.

The captain of the guard, who was wearing the pigtails of the three towers, strode forward and pointed into the distance.

The scout on the horse nodded, not daring to alarm the Great Khan, so he immediately stopped his horse and knelt on the ground.

"Borkin!" Huo Yixuan suddenly spoke, "I've been raising elites for eight years, how come we can't even take advantage of attacking a beacon earth city defended by a mere hundred people?" Also, those Imam assassins can't even take down soldiers for a few nights......"

The Borgin in his mouth was the chief of the guard with his three-tower braids.

When Borkin heard this, his face was expressionless, he just bowed down and said loudly: "Great Khan, the minister is willing to lead the blood wolf to take the beacon fire bravely." ”

"That's not what I meant." Huo Yixuan shook his head and sighed: "I inherited the throne of Khan in the year of my establishment, conquered the Golgong grassland in the west, swept through Monan, conquered everything, and was invincible. How can a mere western beacon fire stop me? ”

Huo Yixuan's face revealed a trace of coldness, like the snow in the Kent Mountains, teaching people not to dare to look at each other: "Think about the past, how brave were your ancestors?" Except for the occasional defeat of the Han army, which was helped by famous ministers and fierce generals, for thousands of years, we almost fought so much that they could not find the north. But as their children and grandchildren, why did the combat power of our army degenerate here? ”

Is it true that one generation is not as good as the next?

Borgin didn't answer directly, looked into the distance and said, "Great Khan, Marshal Sticky Juli's scouts have arrived!" ”

Huo Yixuan turned around and saw a young scout kneeling on the ground, about the age of a weak crown, looking tired at this time, obviously running all night.

He smiled faintly: "Is it him?" ”

"It's him." Borkin replied with a stroking of his chest.

"Call him here."

"Yes!"

The order went down, and the scout Pegasus came, turned over and bowed, "Raise your head." With a deep snort, the young scout looked up when he heard the sound, and Huo Yixuan's eyes were cold, and the cold light shone on his face.

The young scout remained silent and faced it calmly, the two looked at each other for a long time, and Huo Yixuan's face suddenly showed a smile: "You, aren't you afraid of me?" ”

"In the lower steppe departments, with a clear conscience, a loyalty to the Great Khan, but the sun and the moon, what is there to fear?" The scout was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied lightly.

"Good!" Huo Yixuan raised his hand and said, "Get up, young warrior." ”

The scout was stunned for a moment, and Borkin also laughed at this time, and said, "Stinky boy, the Great Khan has lifted you!" ”

Only then did the scout react, and hurriedly got up to thank him, Huo Yixuan suddenly said: "Young man, you are a scout, you must have come all the way, and you must know the battle situation of the various units of the West Beacon, do you think, why has our army been unable to break through the West Beacon for a long time?" Is the enemy too strong, or is our army too weak? ”

The scout groaned slightly, shook his head, and said, "Great Khan, in the eyes of a villain, it is neither!" ”

"Oh?" Huo Yixuan's eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity, and he immediately became interested: "You, let's talk about it." ”

"The Great Khan also saw that although this West Beacon Fire is an earthen city with four gates, it is far from reaching the normal scale of the city. The narrowest part of the four doors, which is only wide enough for a car, is quite the most conducive to defense. In this terrain of 'one man is the key to ten thousand people', although our army is huge, there are many soldiers and horses. However, most of them were squeezed into the narrow doorway, and there were not many soldiers who could really fight. The scout talked.

After a pause, he continued: "The villain thinks that the Northern Iron Cavalry has been surrounded by us and others tonight, and the Great Khan can stop attacking, and starve them for seven or eight hours, and then say, when the time comes, these Han people may not even be able to hold their knives and guns, and the West Beacon Fire can not go down without a fight!" ”

Hearing this, Huo Yixuan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked again: "Your method is good, but it takes too long." What if Geshu sent someone to help? ”

The scout was about to answer, but when he saw Borkin wink at him, he couldn't help but swallow back the words.

Huo Yixuan was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Borkin! Let the kid continue. ”

Borgin hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Great Khan, how can this half-grown child discuss military affairs?" ”

Huo Yixuan stared at Borkin for a long time and retorted: "However, our children will eventually grow up, and in the future, they will also take over our army and gallop the world." You tell me? ”

Borkin nodded, stepped aside, and said no more, Huo Yixuan's words obviously moved him.

When the young scout heard this, his heart stirred, his blood boiled, and he fell to the ground in an instant, a loyal heart, but he died.

"Young man, you, go on." Huo Yixuan glanced at the young scout and said, "What if Geshu sends someone to help?" ”

The scout raised his head, glanced at Huo Yixuan, and said: "Great Khan, Geshu Lao'er really dares to go out, I have eight words, I can break the purple stopper!" ”

Huo Yixuan excitedly pressed his shoulder and asked eagerly, "Say it quickly, which eight words?" ”

"Surround the corpse and send reinforcements! Soldier Purple Stopper! The scout said confidently.

As soon as these words came out, Borkin couldn't help but be stunned, and Huo Yixuan's eyes suddenly soared, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Borkin, blow the horn and let the leaders of the various tribes come to my gathering quickly!" ”
