'What kind of trick is this holding......

The corners of Yang Chuan's mouth also rose, revealing a faint smile, and his harmless face looked very handsome under the clean and bright sun.

"Cut the wool rope and everyone squatted on the spot."

"Listen to me, the shield soldiers are ready to bring down their shields at any time."

He roughly guessed the intention of King Hugh Tu.

If you can't attack by force, you should have to attack hard.

Sure enough.

The two thousand-man teams covered by fire shot arrows and retreated quietly to both sides, and the remaining more than 2,000 siege soldiers got on their horses one after another, turned around and ran, as if they were frightened by the previous battle.

At the head of the city, some Hun warriors cheered.

Immediately, I found that the people around me were silent, and the cheers that had just broken out were meaningless, and after a while, they fell into silence.

A little victory, as for the cheers......

Yang Chuan found through the farsighted mirror that there was a surge in the rear of King Hugh's army, revealing their true colors-

Nearly a hundred stone throwers were lined up in order, like a group of hideous-looking monsters, and they were rapidly pushed forward by a few hundred feet.

Eventually, about two miles away from Rouge City, it stopped.

This kind of siege equipment, in the Warring States Period, was once the weapon of the vassal states, on the loess or blue brick built of the city wall, it is simply a dimensionality reduction blow, just a few dozen breaths, it may be a city wall to smash out of a gap.

King Xiutu was entrenched in the area of Wuwei and Zhangye, adjacent to Longxi County of the Han Empire, and after years of confrontation, he even learned to use a stone thrower.

But.

After a rough visual inspection of the Huns' stone thrower, and a simple calculation in his heart, Yang Chuan was relieved.

King Hutu's stone thrower is exquisitely designed, obviously after careful research and ingenuity by skilled craftsmen, whether it is range or power, it is okay, if it attacks an earthen walled city, an hour, it will definitely collapse a city wall.

He didn't know that the rouge city that Yang Chuan led to build was stronger than the walls of Chang'an City......

"The shield soldier crouched on the spot."

"Lancers go down to the second floor."

"After the catapult bombardment, their next attack will begin......"

The walls of Rouge Castle are mainly made of rocks, and because of the urgency of time, I didn't have time to fire cement concrete, but after mixing clay with rice soup and watering the cracks in the rocks, it is not much worse than the cement concrete wall.

Moreover, at the beginning of the construction, Yang Chuan took all the siege methods into account, and designed three layers of upper, middle and lower layers inside the three-zhang wide city wall.

Inside each floor, there is a crossbow machine's firing port.

These firing ports are usually blocked with stones, and there is nothing unusual to see from the outside, and when necessary, remove the stones, which can be used to shoot with a crossbow machine or a spear for assassination, plus its semi-curved walls, which are comparable to some pillboxes in later generations.

Soon, the catapults of King Hugh's army attacked.

The stone the size of a grinding disc, under the action of a rope and a few pieces of wood, suddenly exerted force, and flew towards Rouge City in a leisurely manner.

Boom Boom!

There was a loud bang, followed by a loud bang.

The stones thrown by the Huns...... The range was not enough, and it fell seventy or eighty steps in front of Rouge City, smashing out more than a hundred large craters.

The turf is splashing and the dust is flying.

In the farsighted mirror, the corners of King Hutu's eyes twitched slightly, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, but he only had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

So, after a period of chaos, the Huns' stone throwers advanced eighty paces and began to busily tie ropes and move stones, intending to launch a second round of bombardment.

Yang Chuan groaned for a while and decided to find something to do for the Huns.

He casually ordered: "Prepare the stone thrower, knock out the opponent's stone thrower." ”

In fact, a few half-sized children have already been gearing up, using a lot of gadgets, constantly comparing and calculating on the head of the city, and they all look like scientists, and they are quite like that.

Different from the rock-throwing unit of King Xiu Tu, the stone-throwing team members under Yang Chuan are basically selected with the 'arithmetic' is more prominent, plus some simple exploration tools, it is easy to calculate the distance between each other and the range of the stone-throwing machine.

This is whether the dimensionality reduction blow is good or not.

Unexpectedly, when he was a cook in the geological exploration team, the exploration gadgets he usually saw were now of great help.

The other party is still tying ropes, carrying the stones up with a sigh, and using a simple winch to pull down one end of the wooden pole to form a strong explosive force......

"Put!"

At the sound of an order, more than two dozen stone throwers in Rouge City began to wield their might.

Woo woo hoo.

More than 20 stones the size of a grinding disc suddenly rose into the air, like some big gray birds, drawing light gray arcs in the air, swaying and smashing towards the army of King Hutu.

The stones start fast at first, and when they reach high altitude, they seem to slow down.

There was even an illusion that the stones had paused for a breath or two in the depths of the sky, and then suddenly accelerated and smashed down.

Cracking sound.

Boom –

More than 20 stones smashed on the stone throwing machine of King Hutu very accurately, and even people with wooden frames directly smashed a smash, and they didn't even make a few decent screams.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the army of King Xiu Tu to react, in Rouge City, in another direction, more than 20 boulders were launched again, and in the blink of an eye, they smashed over.

Without any suspense, more than two dozen stone throwers were destroyed.

King Hugh's face finally became ugly.

He was slightly puzzled, half-squinted, and looked at the inconspicuous Rouge City in front of him from afar, as if he wanted to see through the mystery.

No doubt.

On the side of defending the city, there are masters in charge.

Based on his years of war experience, he couldn't understand why the accuracy of the opponent's stone thrower was so accurate.

You know, the early stone throwers are amazingly powerful, in fact, more often, this kind of 2,000-year-old 'howitzer stone cannon' is not used to accurately hit the target, but is mainly used to bombard the city wall, which is a magic weapon for siege warfare.

Just when he was stunned, more than 20 stones flew out of Rouge City, destroying more than 20 of his stone throwers......

"Retreat five miles back and set up camp."

Instead of continuing the attack, King Hutu gave the order to retreat.

Seeing the army of King Hutu retreating like a tide, those Hun warriors at the head of the city broke out into cheers again.

This time, Yang Chuan ignored it.

In any case, although this battle was not very fierce and unremarkable, it was a small setback to the spirit of King Hugh Tu, and it could be regarded as a small victory......

……

Just when the army of King Hutu was besieging Rouge City, Ah Tie took more than 1,000 young soldiers, but he made a big circle, along the Gobi Desert at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, and quickly advanced to the line of Wusheling Mountains.

This is the second support point of Yang Chuan's layout in the Hexi Corridor, and it is very important to the entire battlefield situation.

"Gongzi gave us three choices, one is to make trouble on the territory of King Hutu, intercept and kill their scout messengers, and dig up their nest."

"Second, in the process of making trouble, rob enough cattle, sheep, livestock, and horses and send them to Dachaigou."

"The third is to fight all the way to kill the young and middle-aged people and large tribes left here by the Huns, and after causing riots, let's quickly march eastward, free Li Guang, and let them push west as the main force, and we will continue to make trouble......"

In the middle of the night, Ah Tie gathered a few half-grown children led by him, and in a tent, he pointed to a map circle and drew a circle, which seemed to have the momentum of an old killer.

These people, in the area of Rouge Mountain, caused trouble and destroyed more than 30 tribes, and gave all the property of the tribal leaders and high priests to other herdsmen, causing indescribable damage.

In order to 'consolidate the results of the war', they also had to secretly kill some young and middle-aged warriors, so that the vitality of these tribes was greatly damaged, and it was impossible to become a climate at all.

"Ah Tie, is it possible, Childe said that there were three choices, but in fact there was only one choice?"

"Yes, Gongzi's meaning should be to make trouble on the territory of King Hutu, exterminate their tribes, plunder their cattle, sheep, livestock and horses, and send them all to Dachaigou, and then find a way to rescue General Li Guang......"

A group of petty killers have been discussing for a long time.

Finally determined the strategy and tactics of this trip-

Trouble, killing, looting, saving Li Guang......

……

At the turn of summer and autumn, the weather in the Hexi Corridor was particularly hot, and the battle of Rouge City was in full swing and was inextricably fought.

Ah Tie's strange soldiers, inserted into the lair of King Hugh Tu, slaughtered and plundered in Zhangye and Wuwei, strictly following the 'sixteen-character formula' taught to them by Yang Chuan, and they fought if they could, and left if they couldn't.

On the Wusheh Ridge, there was a heavy snowfall.

In the Han army camp near the peak, Elk Marquis Li Guangdu was about to collapse.

Exactly four months.

Who knows, how this elk marquis has spent four months?

Encircle, chase and intercept, follow and harass.

The grain channel is cut off, and it is struggling to support.

In just sixteen words, it is almost Li Guang's difficult situation in the past four months, and there are more and more Huns following him, although the combat power is not outstanding, but he can't bear the number of people.

Standing on the high wall built of stone and giant wood in the military village, at a glance, the Huns' camp is a few large areas, and the neighing of war horses is constantly heard, which is particularly oppressive in the wind and snow.

Those wolves followed and harassed all the way, and they didn't take advantage of it at all, so they naturally refused to let go of the fat in front of them.

The nature of a wolf is probably like this.

In the grasslands, the loneliest are the wolves, they can endure hunger, travel long distances, and are rarely willing to give up their favorite prey.

As a result, these more than 30,000 cavalry trapped Li Guang's 8,000 old soldiers in Wusheling Ridge.

"It's been four months, what is the thief Yang Chuan doing?"

"Why don't you hear anything?"

"And Huo Quai, Cao Xiang, hasn't the Huns been defeated and captured alive?"

Li Guang stood on the wall of the military village, wearing a scarlet coat, without a trace of expression on his purple-black face, and looked at the Hun camp in the distance with a faint gaze.

The grain and grass were cut off, and it was only in these days.

Eight thousand Longxi veterans, in the previous 'flat push' and the subsequent battle to defend the city, more than 500 battle losses, more than 2,000 enemy heads, it can be said that it is just a tragic victory, and the veterans are about to go crazy.

Therefore, when he remembered Yang Chuan's thief's clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, Li Guang couldn't wait to eat his flesh raw!

What bullshit tactics?

Isn't this a big piece of fat that was stuffed into the mouths of the Huns?

In a few days, after the food and grass were cut off, these 8,000 old soldiers ......

Just when Li Guang was angry and hateful, suddenly, the Hun camp in the distance was in chaos.

For a while, the drums and horns sounded in unison, and the war horses neighed.

In the wind and snow, I vaguely saw several fires rising into the sky, and black smoke billowing out.

At dusk, the sky was dark.

Those few sky-high fires were very conspicuous, soaring, like a series of hideous-looking flame beasts, wantonly scurrying and devouring in the camp of the Huns, fanning the flames, and soon causing a large chaos.

In the firelight, the Huns, who were drinking and eating meat in the tent, ran out of the tent, and some of them, who didn't even have time to put on sheepskin robes, carried swords in their hands, and looked for their war horses in a daze.

The attack came so suddenly that there was not the slightest warning beforehand.

"Who, who's setting the fire?"

"Is the Han army about to break through?"

In the chaos, the little kings, generals, and householders of the Huns looked confused, and they didn't know what the situation was at all, plus their army, they just received a call from King Hugh Tu and rushed over, and they didn't have any backbone at all.

Especially after these four months of encirclement and interception, the Huns, who had the upper hand, seemed very confident and did not take the Han army in their eyes at all.

Thereupon.

When this chaos suddenly broke out, almost everyone was a little flustered.

However, when they thought that this chaos might have been caused by the Han army they had besieged for months, they quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only seven or eight thousand Han Dynasty infantry troops, what a way!

Even if they are allowed to break out, this heavy snow in Wusheling Ridge can still let them fly?

"Don't panic."

"Send a few hundred-man teams to extinguish the fire and collect the cattle, sheep, livestock and horses that blow up the ring."

“……”

As the orders were passed down one by one, the chaos in the Hun camp seemed to gradually subside, which made Li Guang, who was standing on the stone wall, regretful.

Just now, we should take advantage of the chaos to send a team of soldiers and horses to kill the generals.

Even if you can't win the battle and can't kill many Huns, it's not bad to be able to grab a batch of cattle, sheep, livestock and horses as rations......

Right now.

In the camp of the Huns, there was chaos again.

At dusk, in the wind and snow, the cold wind howls.

Several fires rose into the sky again, accompanied by a dull loud sound, and even in the Han army camp in Wusheling Ridge, the war horses began to sigh and neigh, digging the ground with their hooves, as if sensing some mysterious and terrifying power.

War horses wailed, and the earthquake trembled.

It's as if the earth has cracked a few holes.

An inexplicable tremor made people's hearts beat violently.

Standing on the city wall, Li Guang frowned, stretched out his broad palm, and tightly grasped a wooden stake on the stone wall of the camp, so that he could stabilize his feet: "The earth dragon turned over? ”

After just two or three breaths, the veteran shouted in a deep voice: "Order 3,000 soldiers and horses, follow me out of the city to cover and kill, and the others will stick to the camp!" ”
