Chapter 631: The Past Returns
After thousands of years of war in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the level of war art in Middle-earth is definitely the ceiling of this era.
Especially in the siege and defense of the city, the level has already been perfected.
In the eyes of the Huns, scratching the scalp is just an ordinary thing on the side of the Han Dynasty.
Yu Shan felt that as long as there were enough people, even a pile could be used to close the stone ridge.
But Han Jun is here, but he has taught his good student an advanced tactical lesson.
Yu Shan Command Post took turns to step forward and storm Shiling Pass.
All kinds of benefits are available, and all kinds of threats are available.
But whether it is lure or coercion, the result is the same, tens of thousands of Huns continue to attack the Shiling Pass, but they have never been able to break through.
The defenders used ash bottles, gold juice, thunder stones to roll wood, fire oil and other means, so that the Xiongnu understood the cruelty and despair of attacking the pass.
After a few days of fighting, the morale of King Zuo Xian's troops was already very low.
There was no hope in the battle, with hundreds of casualties with each attack.
Mighty up, sparsely back.
Dying on the spot is also a relief.
But if he was injured and dragged back, he stayed in the camp and wailed and screamed all day long, but he didn't even have medicine, so he could only ask the witch doctor to dance the god.
The painful experience of watching your injuries deteriorate until you die is enough to scare others until their legs and feet go limp.
Those who were not dragged back were even worse, falling in the pile of corpses crying and shouting in pain, especially the crying and calling at night, like a ghost wind from hell, washing away the morale of the Huns.
In King Zuoxian's tent, the red-eyed Yu Shan poured a sip of wine, and asked the messenger sharply, "When will Da Shan Yu arrive?" It's been three or five days, but it's almost ten days, why hasn't it arrived? ”
Those who can be put into the siege of the city are naturally the young and strong of each tribe.
Under the fierce attacks of these days, the young and strong of the vassal tribes were killed and wounded, and even the headquarters of Yu Shan Zhiling suffered heavy casualties.
He is now in urgent need of reinforcements, especially the elite of the royal court headquarters led by Da Dan Yu himself.
"King Zuo Xian, forgive me."
The envoy first explained a few words about the fierce pursuit of the Han army, and the tribesmen had too many cattle and sheep, and it was too troublesome to transfer.
Then he asked with a serious expression: "Da Dan Yu ordered me to ask King Zuo Xian, can this Shiling Pass be breached?" Please also ask King Zuo Xian to return according to the truth. ”
Yu Shan was puzzled by this: "What is this for?" ”
The messenger saluted again: "This is the command of Da Dan Yu. ”
"Hmm."
Yu Shan thought for a while, "Tomorrow, I will personally supervise the siege of the city, if it can't be captured, then it can't be defeated, and I have to wait for Da Shan Yu to come to help." ”
"Got it, little one will watch tomorrow."
Early in the morning of the second day, the people of Xiurong County, who were busy burying the corpses outside the Shiling Pass, saw the mighty brigade of men and horses from the Hun camp, they hurriedly threw down the work in their hands and fled into the pass.
After the great war there will be a great plague.
Disposing of the corpses left behind on the battlefield is an inevitable means to avoid a pandemic.
The most common method is to dig a pit directly and bury it.
Usually the battlefield of a large-scale war must be lush with vegetation in the second year.
If the environment does not allow it, then just burn it out.
Li Yunze, who was at the head of the city, observed for a while the Hun soldiers and horses who were in the whole team and said, "This is going to be desperate." ”
The crowd chimed in.
This is not a slap on the horse, but the Huns on the opposite side have really taken out the power to press the bottom of the box in this offensive.
There were thousands of Hun warriors, dressed in iron armor, gathered into a big lump.
Among the vassal tribes of the Xiongnu, usually only nobles with the status of Pi Xiaowang, Du Wei, Danghu, and Qu were qualified to wear iron armor.
After all, in the tribe, everything belongs to the nobles.
And in the tribes directly under the Xiongnu, outstanding warriors also had the opportunity to be rewarded with iron armor.
In addition to Da Danyu's palace tent army, the largest ironclad army of the Xiongnu was under the command of King Zuoxian, who was the crown prince.
As for the origin of the iron armor, in addition to being captured in battle with the Han army, it was smuggled by caravans and captured craftsmen.
Its quality and quantity naturally cannot be compared with that of the Han Dynasty.
But on the prairie, it is already the existence of sweeping thousands of armies.
Yu Dan took out the strength to press the bottom of the box, and he was determined to fight hard.
However, before throwing in the armor, he still drove the cannon fodder forward first, to consume the arrows and strength of the Han army.
Looking at the old and weak people of the Han family who were crying and crying and were driven forward by knives and guns, Li Yunze's face sank like water.
"Yu Dan, you should be damned!"
In film and television dramas, in this case, everyone will look at the main general and ask what to do stupidly, highlighting the torment and pain in the heart of the main general at this time.
But in fact, no one would ask Li Yunze at all, and the captain of the city guard directly ordered the arrows to be released.
What do you think about pushing the black cauldron on the king's back?
At this time, of course, he came out on his own and took the initiative to carry the black pot down.
Li Yunze turned around and instructed the generals, "Get ready, you must kill all the Huns attacking the city today!" ”
"Whoa!"
Not only the captive Han people, but also the people of the vassal tribes were all thrown out as cannon fodder by Yu Dan.
Thousands of cannon fodder, driven by swords, guns, bows and arrows, stumbled towards Shiling Pass in waves.
When the battle arrived, the cannon fodder, who had lost thousands of people, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a fierce conflict broke out with the Huns who supervised the war.
Yu Shan finally ordered the cannon fodder to step down and replace the ironclad warriors on the field.
More than 1,000 Huns rushed to Shiling Pass.
The impatient Han army, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted these Hun warriors with all kinds of defensive equipment.
The gold juice poured on the head of the bag flowed into the gap in the armor, and the Xiongnu soldiers screamed endlessly.
The ash bottle and the thunderstone rolling wood fell together, and the diffuse lime powder shrouded the city, and the smashed bones and tendons were broken.
The oil was poured down, the torches were thrown down, and the city wall suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and many Hun armor soldiers did not even have the opportunity to climb the city wall, so they turned into burning torches.
Yu Dan, who was watching the battle from the rear, looked pale.
This is the most powerful power under his hands, and now it is consumed in front of his eyes, and this feeling is simply bleeding from his heart.
After paying a great price, finally a Xiongnu warrior jumped on the city.
But before the warrior could catch his breath, a bone smashed down on his head, directly smashing his iron helmet into a depression, and the red and white things suddenly erupted.
Later, many Hun warriors jumped onto the city with bravery, but it was difficult to form a scale and could not cover the follow-up people to enter the city.
The counterattack of the Han army was very sharp and ferocious, and there were even Han troops who rushed directly over and jumped off the city wall with the Hun warriors.
At the most, about a dozen Xiongnu warriors gathered in a corner of the city wall.
As if seeing hope, more Hun warriors under the city quickly gathered and climbed ladders to rush up.
But then the Han army at the head of the city dodged its position, revealing a team of crossbowmen armed with strong crossbows.
Under the desperate gaze of the Hun warriors, a round of crossbow arrows flew over and directly knocked down more than half of them.
The defenders swarmed up and slaughtered the rest.
Yu Dan, whose face had turned black into the bottom of the pot, finally reluctantly ordered to blow the horn and withdraw the troops.
These people were the bravest warriors in the tribe, and watching them fall in droves, Yu Shan really couldn't hold on.
It's easy to come, but it's not so easy to leave.
A large number of Han troops quickly pursued through the open city gate and pursued all the way.
First, the fleeing Huns were cut to the ground, and then they stepped forward and tore off their helmets, pulled their braids and pulled up their necks to slash their heads.
Hanging the head on his waist, the Han sergeant once again pursued forward.
It wasn't until the furious Yu Dan personally brought people to answer him that he was able to recover three or four hundred armor soldiers.
Then he looked at the Han army that was slowly retreating, cleaning the battlefield under the Shiling Pass, looking for the wounded Huns, and directly beheading them and hanging them on his waist in front of countless people.
Yu Dan's whole body trembled, and he couldn't help but scold, "What a barbarian!" ”
Back in the camp, Yu Shan didn't plan to fight anymore.
If he continues to fight, his Zuo Xian Wang's department will be almost no longer strong.
Then he seemed to remember something: "What about the messenger of Da Danyu?" ”
"I've gone back, and I'm running fast on horseback."
"Humph!" Yu Shan didn't think much about it, and directly instructed, "Send someone to Da Dan Yu, please come to support Da Dan Yu as soon as possible." ”
If he doesn't have a face, Yu Dan can't take care of it now, anyway, he doesn't want to fight anymore.
In the following days, Yu Dansuobu did not launch another offensive and hid in the camp to lick his wounds.
Li Yunze also had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, as long as he blocked this place, under the advance of the Han army in all directions, these Huns who entered the army would not be able to escape.
For a few more days, it rained heavily, and the valley was filled with a moist smell.
Li Yunze, who was in the tent, put down the book in his hand.
"Something is wrong."
He got up and looked at the map silently, "It's been so long, even if the military minister crawls all the way, it's time to arrive." But why is it still nowhere to be seen? ”
After observing the map for a while, Li Yunze instructed the guards to "send envoys to make a detour to inquire everywhere if there is any trace of the Xiongnu Shan Yu." ”
"Whoa."
That night, it rained all the time.
A group of envoys sent by Shan Yu entered Yu Dan's royal court.
"What?" After listening to the envoy's words, Yu Shan got up in disbelief, "Da Shan Yu let me escape?!" ”
"Da Dan Yu has opened up the line of Jingle, Qilan, and Baode, and has arrived at the bank of the big river. The headquarters of the Right Xian King has sent men and horses to meet in the Fugu area on the other side of the river. Da Dan Yu had an order, and King Zuo Xian left his subordinates behind, and only took the elite to retreat quickly. ”
"But my tribe"
"King Zuoxian!" The envoy accentuated his tone, "The Han armies from all walks of life are already close at hand, if you don't leave at this time, you won't be able to go!" As for the tribe, as long as the king is still alive, it will eventually be replenished. ”
Yu Dan, whose expression was constantly changing, finally sighed, "Okay." ”
Under the cover of night and heavy rain, Yu Shan quietly left the camp with hundreds of horsemen, leaving behind his tribesmen and cattle and sheep supplies.
And Li Yunze also received an urgent report from Dou Ying, who had already led the main force to Yangqu County.
Da Dan Yu Junchen did not come to Shiling Pass at all, but spent a lot of money to bribe Jingle, the defender of the land of Qilan, all the way west across the valley and went straight to the bank of the big river!
Li Yunze slammed the emergency report in his hand on the ground.
Isn't this horse riding a copy of the siege of Han Gaozu Bai Mountaineering, and the scenes of the past are reappearing.
The face sank like water, and the order "beat the drums, gather the troops!" ”
