Chapter 274: Deep in the Prairie
Chapter 274
After one night, the Xiongnu army launched another siege, this time the Xiongnu army also used a battering ram, but it was too cumbersome, and the muddy roads made it very slow.
Wang Ben stood at the head of the city and was very surprised to see that the Huns had withdrawn from the battering ram, and immediately ordered the arrows to be concentrated to stop the battering ram.
This time the Huns were more fully prepared, the traps on the ground were completely useless, and with the fact that the sun was shining today, the water attack had lost its power.
This battle on this day is bound to be a real contest of strength between the two sides.
Although the archers of the Huns were completely suppressed, the Hun army still came like a tide, and they set up a ladder and climbed desperately up.
"Quick! Smash them down with ice! Lao Zhang shouted, lifted a two-head-sized ice cube and smashed it down.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~" The city continued to fall and smashed the Hun soldiers on the ladder, but soon someone climbed up.
On the city wall, the soldiers kept lifting the ice cubes at their feet and throwing them down, and as soon as they ran out, the soldiers below immediately brought up new ice cubes.
In this weather, ice can be much easier to get than stones, and as long as you collect some snow, you can get a thick piece of ice in one night.
When the battering ram was still seventy or eighty paces away from the city gate, "Boom! It slammed into the ground, surrounded by soldiers killed by bows and arrows.
After seeing this scene, Mao Dun, who was sitting in the middle army, said angrily: "Let the Yehe tribe take the bow and arrow and rush up, and press back the Qin army archers on the city for me!" โ
"Yes!"
Soon the Yehe tribe, which had suffered heavy losses in the two sieges yesterday, rushed forward again, this time they did not climb the top of the city, but rushed to the rain of arrows of the Qin army, and suppressed the bows and arrows of the Qin army with bows and arrows.
Yehnaji was very angry in his heart, if there were archers who covered them like this yesterday, would their Yeh tribe suffer such heavy losses?!
Although Yehenaji was very angry in his heart, he did not dare to disobey Maudun's order, otherwise the entire tribe would be wiped out.
The Yeh tribe can only turn anger into strength, constantly pulling their bows and shooting arrows.
Suddenly, the Qin army on the city tower also suffered casualties, and under the cover of the Yehe tribe's desperate bow and arrow, the battering ram was once again carried by the soldiers of the Huns, approaching the city gate.
Seeing this scene, Mao Dun nodded with satisfaction, so he gave an order to make a tribe rush forward again.
On the city tower, Wang Ben picked up the big bow and bent the bow to shoot arrows in one go.
After a bang, the arrow made a pop and flew out.
Yehenaji shot a Qin soldier with an arrow, and was about to take the arrow again, when suddenly a bang caught his attention, and after looking up, a pain suddenly hit, and then he didn't know anything.
Wang Ben's arrow shot directly into Yehenaji's head, and the hot white red ground was sprinkled on the snow.
As the leader, Yeh Naji was killed by an arrow, and immediately the people of the Yeh tribe panicked and began to flee backwards.
Seeing this scene, Mao Dun looked at Anturu and said, "Give Ben Danyu someone to go up!" Drive them back! Dare to retreat from the latter, there is no forgiveness for killing! โ
"Yes!"
Anturlu rushed out directly with the people, and then blocked in front of the Yeh tribe. This time, the Yehe tribe did not ride horses, and in the face of the Antulu tribe on horseback, they all had no way to escape, and they could only be forced to return to the battlefield.
The siege lasted three hours, and Maudun withdrew his troops at the cost of one tribe being wiped out and two being severely wounded.

And in the depths of the grassland, Qin Xi led the wolf light horse, and just wiped out a tribe in the face of a blizzard.
The smell of blood quickly dissipated under the strong wind, and the blood was still hot when it was spilled, but it soon froze.
The Wolf Rider occupies all the tents of this tribe to resist the wind and snow, especially when it is almost dark, and the Wolf Rider cannot do without the tents in this tribe.
Although it was only a temporary stay, Qin Xi still asked someone to clean up the body to the side to avoid any accidents.
In a tent, Qin Xi was discussing his next move with Zhao Yi.
The two of them had a map sent by the Donghu people, which marked the approximate location of the Xiongnu tribe, if there was no map, looking for the Xiongnu tribe in the depths of the grassland was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Zhao Yi pointed to a crossed point and said: "My lord, we are here now, what we just exterminated is the Yehe tribe, it seems that it is also a large tribe, near us, there are two medium-sized tribes, are we going to take action against these two tribes next?" โ
Qin Xi looked at the dense dots on the map and frowned, this dense dot showed that the connection between the tribes was very close, which was definitely not a good thing.
The reason why the extermination of a tribe today did not attract the attention of the surrounding tribes was mainly due to today's wind and snow weather.
However, such windy weather is not always present, and the extermination of one tribe immediately attracts the attention of another, which greatly increases the risk of detection.
Qin Xi sighed and said: "I don't know where this Sand tribe is, if we know, we can kill it directly, as long as the Sand tribe is dead, Donghu will send troops, and our pressure will be much less." โ
"So, my lord, what are we going to do next?" Zhao Yi asked.
Qin Xi rubbed his forehead and said: "The soldiers are divided into two ways, first pull out the two tribes next to them at the same time, and then go all the way to the west to the Xiongnu royal court." โ
Zhao Yi drew the route, frowned and said, "My lord, in this case, we will be surrounded by many tribes, but it is easy to have problems at that time." โ
"Judging from today's situation, there are not many people left in this tribe, and Kay can see that Maudun has basically hollowed out the strength of the Xiongnu that can fight, even if we are surrounded by major tribes, there should not be too much of a problem."
"And even if we don't go straight to the Xiongnu royal court, we will still be discovered, after all, a large tribe is suddenly gone. We might as well go straight to the court of the Huns before we startle the snake, and the opportunity is fleeting. โ
Zhao Yi thought for a moment and asked, "What if the Sha tribe is in the Xiongnu royal court?" โ
Qin Xi smiled: "Aren't we just looking for them?" If they were in the court of the Huns, it would save us a lot of trouble. โ
"In that case, then listen to the adults." Zhao Yi said and put away the map.
Qin Xi looked outside the tent and said lightly, "I don't know what happened to General Zhenbei?" โ
"My lord, it should be fine, the Huns are not good at attacking cities, although the Great Wall is now suspended, but the general has ambushed heavy troops in those gaps, and the Huns can only touch the ash of a nose when they go."
Qin Xi shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't want to worry about them, we can't protect ourselves now, go and ask the brothers to kill a few sheep to eat tonight." โ
"Okay, I haven't eaten a good meal in a few days, and I can finally eat meat." Zhao Yi walked out with a smile.
