The son of Xiongnu Shan Yu, that is, Liu Bao personally stepped forward to supervise the battle.

As soon as Liu Bao came, the momentum of these Xiongnu soldiers immediately became invigorated.

"Kill!"

"Rush forward for me!" The Hun soldiers waved the scimitars in their hands and kept charging forward.

Like a stormy wave crashing on the coast, this dense crowd of Hun soldiers is indeed dizzy for those who watch.

Since the Hun soldiers were less than three hundred steps away from the city wall, the power of the catapult was greatly reduced at this distance, and the ballista simply lost its effect.

However, the reduced power of catapults and ballistas does not mean that the defenders on the city walls have no way to take these charging steppe barbarians.

Heavy weapons are useless, but what about light weapons?

Catapults, bed crossbows are useless, and countless bows and crossbows!

Yu Ban waved the long sword in his hand, and immediately shouted: "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

With the order of Yu Ban, the crossbowmen of the Cao army opened their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at the Xiongnu soldiers and Xianbei soldiers under the city wall and shot over.

Bow and arrow, this is a sharp weapon for the defending side.

Because on the defending side, he was standing on the wall, and the wall was condescending, and he could shoot covering the troops besieging the city under the wall.

Suffice it to say, the whole city was within the firing range of the defenders on the wall, and they had no defense at all except for the poor round shield in their hands.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

The rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun tore through the sky and poured towards the Xiongnu and Xianbei under the city.

This type of shooting no longer requires aim, because, this is a covering shot.

There is a saying that if you are poor, you will strike with precision, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower.

Today's Prime Minister Cao Cheng has occupied half of the Han Dynasty, and compared with these grassland barbarians, he is naturally the wealthy party.

The heavy rain poured down, and the Xianbei under the city, the head of the Xiongnu coalition army could not be raised.

I can only raise the round shield and wooden shield in my hand, and rush forward.

Fortunately, the number of Xiongnu and Xianbei coalition forces is enough, and there are always people who can brave the rain of arrows to rush to the city wall.

Soon, there was a ladder on the city wall, and the Hun soldiers under the city held a shield in one hand to block the arrows shot down from the city wall, and the other hand was holding the ladder and climbing quickly.

As more and more ladders were built on the city walls, the power of the bow and arrow was much less powerful at this time.

However, there are also short-range lethal weapons at short range.

Long-range lethal weapons are catapults and bed crossbows, and medium-range lethal weapons are various bows and arrows.

So, what is this short-range weapon of destruction?

The answer is thunderstone and gold juice.

Thunderstone rolling logs are huge stone stones, as well as round logs.

The Cao soldiers in the city saw that the ladder was densely packed with Hun soldiers, so they lifted the big stone prepared in advance and smashed it towards the ladder with logs.

After the big stone was thrown, a loud "bang" was heard, and the Hun soldiers on the ladder fell from above like dumplings.

At this height, if you are smashed down from the top of the ladder, you can only hear an "oops", and this life will be the end.

In addition, many soldiers carried a hot cauldron to the edge of the city wall.

Inside this cauldron was a thick, hot, and foul-smelling yellow liquid.

This thing is called gold juice.

If you want to say that in this siege battle, what weapon has the greatest lethality, it is definitely gold juice.

What kind of bed crossbow, the power of the catapult, is not as powerful as the gold juice.

The most important thing is that the manufacturing cost of this thing is extremely low, it can almost be said that it does not cost money, and it can be produced and sold by itself.

Golden juice is made from human feces, urine, or animal feces, urine, these things are mixed together and boiled hot, and then poured directly from the city wall.

This thing can be called a biological and chemical weapon during the Three Kingdoms period.

If you are poured hot gold juice on your body, you will be burned immediately.

The most important thing is that there are bacteria in here!

Even in the modern 21st century, scalding is a very difficult problem.

Scalded by gold juice, there was no condition for disinfection during the Three Kingdoms period, and it can almost be said that he will die.

After the golden juice was burned, you invited Hua Tuo, and he could only shake his head at your injuries.

Basins of gold juice were poured down one after another, and groups of Huns, Xianbei people, were scalded by the gold juice and fell down the ladder screaming.

Occasionally, one or two Huns, Xianbei people, after trying their best to climb the city wall, were waiting for them by a Cao soldier armed with a spear.

The Huns, Xianbei soldiers, who were just about to go to the city wall, were greeted by a few sharp spears, which stabbed them through the heart and their hearts were flying.

The Huns and Wuhuan people on the top of the ladder fell from the ladder to the city wall like dumplings.

However, no one was able to storm the walls.

Yu Ban is a famous guard in Cao's camp, and the city wall under his guard is called airtight, and there is no flaw at all.

Whether it was the defensive line of the Hun attack or the defensive line of the Xianbei attack, it was all solid and did not loosen in the slightest.

This fight lasted for two hours, and the Xiongnu and Xianbei did not make the slightest progress except for throwing countless corpses under the city walls.

It had been from noon to evening, and Yu Fuluo and Tanshi Huai were also discouraged.

However, the two of them pretended to be forced in front of the collapse, and now they are embarrassed to go back like this after being slapped in the face.

In desperation, he could only continue to attack.

Wuhuan Battalion.

Look at the Wuhuan side again, the camp has been arranged at this time, and the pot has begun to be cooked.

Shan Yu asked Su Fuyan, "Are the two reckless men Yu Fuluo and Tanshi Huai still fighting?" ”

Su Fuyan nodded and replied, "It's still fighting, but there's no progress." ”

Shan Dun nodded his head, everything was expected by him.

No progress is enough!

If Cao Cao couldn't help fighting like this, why did he unite with the Xiongnu and Xianbei clans to attack Youzhou together?

If Cao Cao couldn't help but fight like this, wouldn't it be good for them to send troops on their own, and eat alone?

"How's the casualties?" Shan Yu continued to ask Su Fuyan.

Su Fuyan also continued to answer: "I just sent someone to inquire, and more than 40,000 people were killed or wounded. ”

In this first attack, Xianbei and Xiongnu each sent 50,000 troops to form a 100,000-strong coalition to attack.

Now there are more than 40,000 dead and wounded, almost half of the casualties.

In this first battle, for the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes, it can be said that there were heavy casualties.

However, this is good news for Shan Yu.

Yu Fuluo and Tanshi Huai are too proud!

Only after letting them suffer a big loss, planting a big heel, and breaking the bleeding of their heads, can they obediently listen to their own words.
