The wild goose gate was closed.

Groups of Huns with shields lined up and slowly advanced towards the city wall in the face of the rain of arrows. At the rear of the shield array, the crossbowmen of the Huns were constantly opening their bows and arrows to fight the Han army on the city tower.

However, the bows and crossbows of the Han army were obviously superior, completely suppressing the Huns in terms of range and power, and relying on the city wall, there was a significant gap in the battle losses between the two sides.

With the past temperament of the Hu people, most of them would take advantage of the characteristics of cavalry coming and going like the wind, and after looting the surrounding area, they would flee and not give the Han army a chance to fight back.

But this time, as if they had taken a reassuring pill, they stared at the Yanmen Gate, as if they wanted to gnaw this hard bone at all costs.

Maybe...... They learned about the troops in Yanmen Pass being transferred and dressed up.

If you look closely, you will find that in order to attack Yanmen Pass, the Huns even built special siege equipment. For example, city trucks, ladders...... Although the workmanship is really crude.

This terrible siege has lasted for five whole days, and the Huns have already lost more than 3,000 people in front of this Xiongguan.

However, there is one piece of information that is wrong, the Xiongnu Koubian army is not only 10,000, but nearly 25,000.

The 10,000 cavalry were only the vanguard, and the king of Hutu added 15,000 troops later, and the Hugh Tu department was already pouring out.

"Didn't you say that the Han troops in Yanmen Pass were all evacuated, why was the defense so tight? The cunning Han ...... "In the Xiongnu army in the rear, the fat King Hutu was raising his head and scolding the sky.

The general on the side said: "I don't think he lied to us, if there are still Han cavalry in the city, according to their previous practices, they should not blindly defend." ”

"Then why is this Yanmen Pass so difficult to overcome?"

"This ......"

The general hesitated.

It's not that I don't know the answer, but I don't dare to say it.

The high walls of Yanmen Pass are strong, and the Han army is well-equipped, although there are few soldiers, they can hold on for a while, at least before the loss of troops affects the overall defense, they will not be able to break the city.

On the other hand, although they have built some siege equipment, most of them are light and not enough to break through a fortified city like Yanmen.

In the end, he could only reply: "My Hun warriors are good at field battles, not good at attacking fortifications." ”

King Hutu was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and said in a deep voice: "Of course I know this, but this border has been almost ransacked, and if the city cannot be broken, this time it will be in vain." ”

He also folded thousands of warriors of the tribe in vain.

The general thought for a while and said tentatively: "Why don't we go dozens of miles deeper?" ”

However, as soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, and the scenes of being taught by the Han army in the past were still vivid, and the bloody past was unbearable.

Not to mention that they can only slaughter the clan, even if they gather the strength of the entire Southern Xiongnu, they can't defeat the Han army, which is a lesson that has been beaten little by little for hundreds of years.

"Okay, if you can't capture this Yanmen Pass today, you will go south dozens of miles tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, King Hugh Tu actually agreed.

The general hurriedly said: "The subordinates are just talking, in case they run into the Han army......

"What are you afraid of?" King Hugh Tu said with a look of disdain: "Now that the main force of the Han army is in civil strife and can't get out, how can we still have the strength to care about us?" ”

Is that so?

The general fell into deep thought.

……

"How could the Huns be so persistent this time?"

On the city wall, Gao Shun and Xun Yu stood side by side, watching the Huns launch wave after wave of lifeless offsets, Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "If we continue like this, I am afraid that our defensive forces will be insufficient." ”

Even with the support of the city wall and the advantage of equipment, casualties will inevitably occur in the process of defending the city.

If it was fine before, but now the only remaining 2,000 defenders in the city have lost hundreds, and if it continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid that there will be loopholes in the defense.

He couldn't help but look at the elegant brain in front of him, and there seemed to be no worry on the other party's face.

Xun Yu heard Gao Shun's words and said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to worry, calculate the time, the reinforcements should almost arrive." ”

Gao Shun was surprised: "Adults are so confident? ”

"Just as Guo Fengxiao believes in me, I also believe in him."

Compared with the opponents he will encounter in the future, Ding Yuan's existence is just a stumbling block. If you can't even get past this kind of opponent, let alone achieve great things.

Xun Yu looked into the distance, feeling a little emotional.

The former classmates have gone far apart, but he and Guo Jia have come to the same camp. Since the others didn't follow, it proves that the ambition is not here.

There may be a possibility of encountering other people in the future, but at that time, they will no longer meet as former classmates, but as rivals of each other.

There will be opportunities to gamble, but they may never meet again, because most of the losing side will choose to die, and they all have pride in their hearts.

Gao Shun began to figure out Xun Yu's words, Zhang Liao led the army south to help, otherwise with the strength of Liu Yuanjun and General Ding Yuan, it was enough to deal with the white wave thieves, and there was no need to transfer Yanmen's cavalry.

Unless...... There is another hidden secret.

Thinking about the execution of Ding Yuan's henchmen, he suddenly had an answer in his heart.

Xun Yu said with a look of approval: "These soldiers cooperate well, but the general has trained them single-handedly?" ”

He had already discovered a problem, the way the soldiers defending the city cooperated was a little different from the Han army he had seen before, but it was very practical.

Every time the Huns climb the city wall, they will be knocked down by this tacit cooperation, and the Yanmen Pass can withstand so tightly, and this formation is indispensable.

Xun Yu was originally ready to mobilize the people to defend the city, but now it seems that there is no need.

"Exactly." Gao Shun's heart suddenly moved, the county guard in front of him was a close minister in front of the state pastor, if he could get his help, what he had always wanted to do might be successful.

After all, he is only a school captain, and he can train a good soldier, but he can't create expensive armor.

Xun Yu praised: "The general has the talent, but it's a pity to be a small captain." ”

This is not only a reference to Gao Shun's training ability, but also a recognition of his arrangement, with this person to defend the city, he has saved a lot of effort.

Gao Shun hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say anything in his heart, he was not good at words.

Fortunately, Xun Yu was empathetic and saw that he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Does the general have a request for me?"

"Yes, this formation was improved by the ancestors after they were exposed to the formation of Wei Wushu, and it took ten years to improve it, and it is called [Trapping Camp]."

"If it can be supplemented with heavy armor, it will definitely increase the combat power of the trapped camp. If the adults can make a statement to Liu Yuanjun, they will be grateful. ”

Gao Shun gritted his teeth and said the words in his heart, and then the whole person lowered his head like a death row prisoner on the execution ground, and let it fall.

"Even if the general doesn't say it, I will recommend it to the lord. But this matter can be discussed later, he is here! ”
