?

General Xia Jun stood on the edge of the battlements, looking out of the dark city.

Another night, on this day the Huns did not attack, and the corpses of the Huns were already piled up under the city walls, but the Huns did not come to collect them.

There is a rule on the battlefield that when the enemy is collecting the corpse, the general warriors will not attack the person who collects the corpse. This rule was known to the Xia army, and the Huns also knew it.

But the battle at the river was so fierce that both sides had no time to think about the corpses, which had accumulated under the city, and many of them had begun to rot and stink after a long time.

A foul smell poured up from under the city wall to the head of the city, and the smoked Xia army was sick for a while.

"It's so quiet today!" A small colonel stood beside the general, and his gaze also surrendered to the dark city.

The partial general nodded, and said very indifferently: "The Huns are just resting, they haven't been able to break through the city these days, and they are tired." ”

"Looks like there will be another fierce battle tomorrow!" The colonel nodded and sighed abruptly.

The tired Xia army lay on the city wall, and many officers and soldiers snored.

The partial general walked past these Xia soldiers with the little colonel, he shook his head and sighed, but said nothing.

The night passed, and the eastern sky was white.

The general wiped his face and squinted his eyes to look at the eastern sky.

Perhaps this was the last time he watched the rising sun, and he suddenly felt that there were many things he hadn't done.

The old father's wheelbarrow broke a rafter, and he never had a chance to help re-sharpen one; The old mother had always wanted to go to Jiuyuan City and see the palace of the Xia Kingdom with her own eyes, but he hadn't taken her there yet.

His son's wooden sword was broken, and he still didn't have time to make a new one, and his wife told him that he wanted to have another child when he had the chance, but he didn't have time to do it for a long time.

The Xiongnu armies began to move, and their tactics were slightly different from those of the Central Plains.

The Huns did not have strong bows and crossbows, nor did they have strong heavy infantry, and they relied entirely on crowd tactics when attacking cities.

In the past, the defense of the border city was relatively lax, the number of defenders on the city was not large, and the training was not enough, and the Huns would take the city down in just one day's work.

This time, the Xia Kingdom increased the number of defenders near the river, and although the soldiers were still improvized, the morale was completely different from the past.

The 5,000 defenders resisted the 100,000 Xiongnu army for more than half a month, until the 'fine' was exhausted, and still insisted on guarding the city.

The Xia army guarding the river was desperate, but this despair did not make them collapse, but became the motivation for them to persevere.

On the contrary, the Xiongnu's Right Valley King was also desperate, and he began to doubt whether the war with the Xia Kingdom could be won in the end.

In the past, as long as the Central Plains people resisted the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu would be the main battle.

This time in the war with the Xia State, the Huns were also high-spirited, but the Xia State continuously thwarted their attacks.

Da Dan Yu was defeated in the 'Yin' Mountain, and the king of Zuogu Li was defeated in Guyang, and his soldiers were defeated and died, and now only his army is still attacking the Xia Kingdom.

The Xia army of 'Yin' Mountain had already marched towards Linhe, and according to the normal marching course, it would be on the battlefield in two days, while part of the Xia army of Guyang had returned to Jiuyuan City, waiting to attack at any time, and the other part took advantage of the situation to occupy the Yan State.

Judging from the news just obtained, the Xia army was completely different from the stragglers encountered by the Huns in the past, this was an army that could fight and fight tough battles.

The king of the right valley looked at the ruined riverside city wall, he had been to this city many times, only this time, he came the most difficult.

"Siege!" The scimitar in the hand of the king of the right valley pointed forward, and countless Hun cavalry jumped down from the war horse and rushed towards Linhe City with a howl.

The Xia archers at the head of the city took out the few remaining arrows in the quiver, hung them and aimed at the Huns who were swarming under the city.

"Shoot the arrows!" When the Huns rushed to a distance of more than 100 steps from the city wall, the Xia army general waved the long sword in his hand, and countless arrows flew towards the Huns.

The Huns' shield was a small round shield, suitable for fighting on horseback, but it was a little powerless in the face of oncoming arrows.

A rain of arrows flew towards the Huns who were rushing towards the city wall, and the Huns hurriedly raised their shields to cover them, but unfortunately the shields were too small, and they blocked the top but could not block the bottom.

Rows of Huns fell under the rain of arrows, and some of the Huns who were not dead at that time lay on the ground and rolled and screamed, but their cries were quickly stopped by their companions who rushed up from behind.

There are too many Huns, like a 'tide' water, the people in the back push the people in front to rush forward, and after the people in front are 'shot' by arrows, the people behind can't stop, and the big feet "snap" on the faces and bodies of the people in front.

A layer of Hun corpses was soon laid under the city walls, but more Huns rushed to the foot of the walls.

A series of ladders set up the city wall, and countless Huns attacked the city with a shield in one hand and a scimitar in the other.

A Hun climbed up to the top of the city, and the general raised his sword and slashed at his head, and the long sword slashed into the Hun's hat, sinking deeply, and a puddle of blood splashed out, splashing him in the face.

"Kill!" He roared angrily, and the long sword in his hand stabbed at the next Hun who climbed up the city wall, and the Hun 'chest' sword fell off the city wall with a scream.

Some Xia officers and soldiers pressed their spears against the siege ladders and tried to push the ladders outward, and many siege ladders were pushed away, and the Huns above fell to the ground.

There were also some siege ladders that were not pushed, and the Huns climbed up the city walls along these ladders.

"Get rid of them!" An officer of the Xia army waved his long sword, slashed over a Hun soldier who had just climbed the city wall, and shouted at the Xia army behind him.

The Xia army shouted in unison and pounced on the Huns who had just ascended to the top of the city.

The Hun soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were armed with scimitars and formed a circle, trying to block the offensive of the Xia army, but the attack of these Xia troops was completely a deadly way of playing.

Many Xia soldiers rushed towards the Huns with their spears and howling, and the Huns raised their scimitars and slashed at the Xia soldiers.

If you don't dodge, the scimitar will definitely be hit, but the Xia army with the spear doesn't care about those, and the spear in his hand does not change the direction at all, and stabs straight to the 'chest' of the Huns.

The scimitar struck the Xia army, but the Huns were also pierced through the chest with spears, and both the Xia army and the Huns fell in a pool of blood.

A Hun officer had just poked his head out of the siege ladder and wanted to climb to the top of the city, but before he could find a good point to borrow, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and a Xia soldier who had lost his hands screamed and pounced on him.

The Xia soldier had no hands and could not pick up weapons, so he rushed to the front of the Hun officer, spread his arms, and tightly clamped the Hun officer with his handsless arms, and threw himself down the city.

The Hun officer screamed and fell down under the city with the crippled Xia soldiers.

Although there are thick corpses under the city, the city walls are very high, and if you fall from such a high height, even if you don't fall to your death, you will fall halfway.

When falling downward, the Xia soldiers hugged the Hun officer tightly, and he tried to control the direction of his body, so that he and the Hun officer's head remained in a downward posture.

"Smack!" There was a heavy muffled thud, and the two fell to the ground.

The two heads touched the corpse on the ground, and the neck could not withstand the strong force, and broke in unison with a crisp sound.

The Hun officer's neck was crooked, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe that he would die at the hands of a crippled Xia soldier.

In contrast to him was the Xia soldier, whose neck was broken, but he had a satisfied smile on his face, as if telling the world that he had pulled a cushion on his back before he died.

Near the place where the Xia army was biased, a group of Huns climbed the city wall, and all the Xia soldiers around the general were killed, while the other Xia troops fought against the Xiongnu in a farther place.

He was the only one alive on the wall.

He held a long sword and looked coldly at the Huns in front of him.

The scar on his face must have been festered without proper care, and combined with the dirty face, he looked a little weird.

The Huns surrounded him, but they did not dare to attack him, and dozens of Hun corpses were already lying at his feet.

"Come on! Grandchildren! Come on! The partial general held a long sword and confronted dozens of Huns, and he kept yelling at the Huns: "Come here, have a good fight with Lao Tzu!" ”

The Huns gathered around him, but none of them dared to step forward, they looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were full of fear.

A Hun officer couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and threw himself at the prejudice knife with a strange scream.

The general flashed his body, and when the Hun officer's scimitar slashed past him, the long sword in his hand slashed downward, and a blood-spattered head rolled out.

Although he killed the Hun officer, this flash, but his back was 'exposed' a big gap.

Several Hun soldiers seized the opportunity and rushed forward in unison to stab him in the back.

General Xia Jun only felt a pain in his back, and the tips of several scimitars pierced out of his chest.

He lowered his head and looked at the shiny tips of the knives on his chest, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Several Hun soldiers were about to withdraw their swords, but the general of the Xia army suddenly let out a loud roar, twisted his body, and slashed the long sword in his hand behind him.

The force of this sword cut is not very large, but the tip of the sword is impartial, just cutting the throats of several Hun soldiers.

Several Hun soldiers let go of their swords, their eyes widened, and at the same time they covered their blood-spattered throats and fell backwards.

After they fell, the general threw his long sword to the ground in the direction of Jiuyuan City, knelt on the ground, and his eyes gradually dimmed! ~
