Chapter 313: The drummer at the head of the city, the red-faced uniform
This rain came in time, first pouring down, heavy rain like a note, seven or eight hours later, turned into a gentle autumn rain, enveloping the world in it.
The siege of the Huns finally stopped.
In this kind of ghost weather, you should hide in the tent to eat meat and drink, but unfortunately not many Han girls were caught, which made the life of the beasts quite boring; Especially when they learned that the army was running out of food, and if they couldn't break through Shuofang City within three or five days, they would all have to eat.
Therefore, the camp of the Huns was filled with an inexplicable irritability.
After this rain, it is autumn.
If there is no war, this season should be the most beautiful season on the grassland, the water and grass are abundant, the cattle, sheep and livestock are busy pasting autumn fat, and even those women have become mellow, grasping a handful, all of them have a strong smell of milk.
"Yi Zhixian is a fool, let us go over the mountains and mountains to gnaw sand, but he hides in Juyan Haizi, where the water and grass are abundant, eating meat, drinking wine and playing with women."
"It's not that Yi Zhixian is stupid, it's that he trusts that bullshit man too much."
"Yes, if it weren't for that bullshit man, we should all be hunting on the Mobei grassland, you say, since we entered Shuofang, we haven't grabbed a single grain of food, but inexplicably lost so many people and horses, what the hell!"
"Forget about hunting in the Mobei grassland, Wei Qing and his tens of thousands of main forces are not a piece of meat and bones, whoever wants to gnaw can gnaw a few bites, maybe our Yizhi Da Danyu's front teeth have been knocked out two or three, right?"
"Hahaha......"
Under the rain curtain, in a big tent of the Huns, two unworthy kings of Wanhu ate meat and drank wine, scolding in their mouths, venting the anger in their chests.
This battle was a wretch.
Of the 80,000 elite cavalry, 25,000 were missing, more than 10,000 were lost in battle, and 15,000 were hidden by Yi Zhixian and the hateful black-robed man, and almost all of the rest were attacking Shuofang City.
"The cattle, sheep and livestock we brought are all eaten, and the warriors are starving and besieging the city, so it can't go on like this."
A king of ten thousand households opened the curtain of the big tent and looked out a few times irritably, and said with some worry: "This rain is endless, even if we want to evacuate, there is no way, that dog's day Taishou Yang Chuan is really not a thing, he went crazy and ploughed all the roads." ”
Another Wanhu King laughed and said, "What he is deeply cultivating is only the road leading to other counties, doesn't this help us build two galloping roads?" One gallops straight to Jilusai, and the other leads to Yinshan Pass, isn't it all our way out? ”
Just as the two were discussing, there was a sudden roar, the drums of war were pounding, and the trumpets were sounding in unison, but it was the shouting of the besieging troops in the distance.
"What's the matter?"
The two Huns strode out of the camp tent and looked into the distance, but they could only see the rain and fog in the sky, and they couldn't see what was happening at all.
A man and a horse galloped over, seven or eight feet away from the big tent, the man turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee: "Tell the two princes, the Han army and the Han army are out of the city!" ”
Han army, out of the city?
The two of them were stunned and immediately ecstatic.
After a month of siege, they still don't know what is going on in Shuofang City? At most, there are only more than 1,000 county soldiers, and if you count the young and strong men of the people in the city, it is estimated that there are only 35,000 people.
By the way, there are more than 300 scholars, which can be regarded as the most vigorous force......
"Exactly?" A king of ten thousand households asked.
The Hun warrior opened his mouth and breathed several breaths, and said: "They opened the west gate, drove more than 200 chariots, and fled all the way to the west......
……
Yang Chuan's chariot did go out of the city from the west gate, but it was not an escape, but a serious 'chisel formation'.
After the reconstruction, Shuofang City was carried out in accordance with Yang Chuan's design from the beginning, and it was naturally the meaning of the question that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack; However, the most puzzling thing is the two 'ring roads' he designed.
After deep ploughing, the roadbed was rammed with triple earth, and nearly a foot of 'concrete' was poured on it, which was six zhang wide, just enough for two chariots to walk side by side.
Now, the two ring roads, one far and one near, have finally come in handy.
The scorching sun for a month made these 'galloping roads' extremely hot, and those Huns were so hot that they could only set up tents on both sides of the road, and now they looked like a king, driving a carriage to patrol their territory, and the visual effect was quite good.
Yang Chuan chose a ring road close to the city.
This is a very important part of the 'Shuofang City Siege'......
"Big Han'er!"
As soon as he got out of the city gate, Yang Chuan raised a long sword with some difficulty, looked ahead, and roared with a rare roar: "Follow Benhou, rush for me!" ”
The two teams of chariots rushed out, rushed out more than 100 steps in one go, suddenly turned at a bend, entered the 'Ring City Line 1', and began to rampage, killing all sides.
Yang Chuan and Dong Zhongshu's chariots went hand in hand, galloping at the forefront.
Yang Chuan's emperor is Dongfang Shuo, the waiter is Weaver Niang, and the warrior is Tangyi's father; Dong Zhongshu's emperors, attendants, and warriors were all his disciples; All of them were wearing sixty or seventy pounds of fish-scale iron armor, with a layer of leather armor and soft armor inside, and they wore iron helmets weighing seven or eight pounds, and they were almost armed to the teeth.
As for the combat vehicles.
Well, this kind of chariot after Yang Chuan's transformation is actually an 'iron hedgehog' made of fine iron, with a body baffle about three inches thick, covered with sharp iron thorns;
By the way, there are also the four war oxen pulling the cart.
That's right, it's a war bull, with full armor on his body and an iron shell with two sharp blades on his head, which is very joyful, which makes Yang Chuan inexplicably think of the allusion of 'Minotaur'.
Just kidding, since it's a 'heavy chariot', although four war horses can be pulled, they can't last long after all, and it's always a little bit less interesting.
Well, the chariot pulled by the war ox, except for the slower movement, there seems to be no problem.
As soon as he came out of the city gate, in the face of a rain of arrows from the Huns, Yang Chuan subconsciously shrank his neck, and as a result, when those wolf tooth arrows were shot on his head and body, the slight itching sensation made him laugh.
Isn't it just to play hooligans?
In the desert steppe, the Huns are indeed very powerful, a group of very terrifying enemies, coming and going like the wind, elusive, will beat some generals who are not good at field warfare out of the psychological shadow.
But under this Shuofang City, in our own one-acre and three-point land, we can let you jump for a month, Ben Hou is already very patient!
As early as half a year ago, Yang Chuan had just been appointed as the Tai Punctual of Shuofang County, and he had already begun to prepare for this battle.
Whether it is the improved fish scale iron armor, leather armor or the demon modified 'Battle King Kong Car', he has poured a lot of effort into it, and the money and food pasted into it are also countless......
……
Yang Chuan personally drove and led two hundred chariots to 'chisel the formation', like a hungry ancient true dragon, rushing into the Hun camp that could not be seen at a glance, setting off a bloody storm.
At the head of Shuofang City, the drums of war are pounding.
The full moon princess Liu Man was dressed in a military uniform, wearing a bright red dress, wearing a scarlet coat, and two lines of tears hanging on her handsome and beautiful face, and personally beat the drum to cheer.
This big man and a brutal little princess seems to have grown up overnight.
She pursed her lips tightly, the two drumsticks in her hands beat rhythmically, and her two eyes always pursued the chariot where Yang Chuan was, but she didn't say a word, just vented the anger in her chest on a cowhide drum.
Knock knock!
Knock knock knock!
Standing beside her were Sima Qian and Naren Toya.
Sima Qian held a large flag in his hand, with the inscription 'Marquis of Changning of the Great Han Dynasty'; Naren Tuoya was also dressed in a military uniform with a bright red battle skirt, her small face was flushed, and a scarlet flag in her hand was embroidered with a huge 'Yang' character.
Han Changning Hou, Yang!
On the city walls, everyone was silent.
Whether it was the county soldiers or the common people, they all opened their eyes wide, pursed their lips tightly, and watched their Taishou master drive the chariot and rampage among the endless Huns, killing a bloody road.
All of them.
They all held their breath.
Grip tightly, the blades, banners and drumsticks in your hands.
"Someone, carry this drum and go with the main palace!"
Seeing that the chariot led by Yang Chuan turned around the west gate and was about to rush to the direction of the south gate, Liu Man finally opened his mouth and shouted: "The Marquis of Changning fought on the battlefield in blood, let the palace beat the drum and cheer for him!" ”
The walls of Shuofang City are quite wide, and at the beginning of construction, Yang Chuan imagined that at least the cavalry should be able to gallop across the country, so there was basically no problem in carrying a big drum to follow Taishou.
Knock knock knock!
Knock knock knock!
It seems that the sky has intentional, and the original dripping rain suddenly became heavier.
The heavy rain wet everyone's armor and everyone's faces, making it impossible to tell whether it was rain, tears, or sweat.
"Brother Yang Chuan, come on!"
Naren Tuoya finally couldn't help but roar, and waved the big flag with the word 'Yang' in her hand desperately, as if Yang Chuan could see her face when he looked up......
At the head of the city, the sound of war drums was endless, and Yang Chuan and his two hundred chariots also rushed through the easiest seven or eight hundred steps; With a whining of horns, large swaths of the Huns, trampling on the mud and wielding bows, spears, and lassos, swarmed to try to block the way of the two hundred chariots.
Yang Chuan stood on the chariot with his head held high, holding the 'handrail' on the iron plate in one hand and a four-foot long sword in the other, very proud.
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
Four oxen pulled the chariot and rumbled forward, rushing through the chaotic crowd, the sharp blades on the bull's head, the crossbar on the wheel, and the high-speed spinning, cutting axle, quickly harvesting the human head.
Along the way, the stumps and legs of the Huns, internal organs and minced meat, mixed with blood and rain, flowed wantonly on the six-zhang wide concrete gallop road.
The chariot behind followed closely behind, continuing to cut and tear, and it was a bloodthirsty dragon, continuing to harvest the endless stream of lives.
The Huns, red-eyed by the slaughter, ignored the sharp blades and spikes of the 'hoplites', and rushed forward desperately, struggling in vain with knives, spears, and lassos in their hands.
In the direction of the big tent of the Chinese army, there was a low and savage horn sound.
It was two unworthy kings of all households who were giving the order: 'Stop these chariots, kill them, and tear them to pieces!' ’
Yang Chuan, who was familiar with the tactics of the Huns, heard it and laughed.
While commanding Dongfang Shuo, he drove the chariot to gallop on the galloping road, savagely tearing apart the encirclement and interception of the Huns, feeling the numbness of the wolf's tooth arrows on his body, and chanting loudly: "Lao Tzu talks about juvenile madness." The left leads the yellow, and the right is the sky. Brocade hat mink fur, thousands of horses roll Pinggang, in order to report the city with the Taishou. ”
As if to meet the occasion, in the depths of the rainy sky, several silly eagles flew from afar, making several agitated and clear sounds in the deep and high sky, as if they were cheering for their Taishou.
Dongfang Shuo heard a burst of ecstasy, threw up the reins in his hand, and exclaimed loudly: "Wonderful!" ”
The half-iron tower-like cousin's father held a horse lance, casually stabbed a Hun cavalryman to death, and shouted: "Good!" ”
Yang Chuan looked up to the sky and smiled, becoming more and more proud.
Unexpectedly, the weaver lady who had been guarding him poured a basin of cold water on him: "I'm not a big yellow dog, my cousin is not a stupid eagle, you, a Taishou wearing a five-layer armor, are you embarrassed to say that the brocade hat mink Qiu, the thousand horsemen roll Pinggang?" ”
Yang Chuan laughed and said, "I forgot to tell you that Ben Hou is not wearing five layers of armor, but two layers of iron armor, two layers of leather armor, and five layers of soft armor......
……
Little by little, time passed.
It could be a stick of incense, it could be two hours, or it could be a moment.
The cruelty and gore of the battlefield seem to make time stop.
Yang Chuan's heavily armored chariot army circled the 'First Ring Road' of Shuofang City four times, and the war oxen pulling the cart began to burn out, and the whip whipped on its fat buttocks, and it couldn't increase its speed much.
At the head of the city, the full moon princess Liu Man was sweating profusely, her arms were sore and unbearable, and she couldn't beat the cowhide drum to her Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun.
But even so, she always maintained the same rhythm, never letting the sound of war drums be cut off; She looked at Yang Chuan, who was standing straight on the chariot, and roared: "Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, make a little more effort!" ”
"This concubine can carry it!"
Why hasn't Huo Qu's illness come yet?
Seeing that the Huns couldn't run fast and couldn't catch up, they could only avoid the heavy chariot of Ben Hou and shoot with useless wolf tooth arrows; If you don't do anything, the cooked duck will fly away.
No, look at the sky, aren't a few stupid eagles already here?
The stupid eagles are here, will Huo Qu's illness be far away?
Yang Chuan began to get a little agitated.
Could it be that your own calculations are wrong? Shouldn't it? Didn't you make an appointment with that fool last night?
Just when Yang Chuan was puzzled, suddenly, dozens of cowhide drums at the head of the city were hit by heavy hammers at the same time, making an exhilarating 'dong dong' sound.
Several large flags waved suddenly.
The gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest quadrangular slowly opened, and the four teams of heavily loaded King Kong cars, dragged by the leather armor war bulls, drove out with a 'boom', and galloped towards the 'second ring road' of Shuofang City.
Yang Chuan looked up at the big flags waving at the head of the city, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Huo Quai, the dog's day, is finally here!" ”
