Chapter 490: The Great Han God of War
Many Han soldiers were tired, and they rested against the wall.
Other pavilions were attacked by the Xiongnu at the same time, and the situation of each pavilion barrier was different.
Liu Zhang rested for a quarter of an hour and led 1,500 Han troops to support other places.
His physical fitness is much better than others, and his physical strength recovers faster than others.
Within a day, he led the Han army to successfully defend several pavilion barriers.
There were also several pavilion barriers that were almost broken by the Xiongnu, and Liu Zhang came to the Ganyuan Pavilion barrier.
This was the last pavilion barrier to be attacked by the Xiongnu, and this pavilion barrier was located in the northeast of Wuwei County.
There were more than 300 Han troops in the pavilion barrier, and the barrier lieutenant was seriously wounded.
He could no longer fight, and the rest of the Han army struggled to hold on.
They couldn't let the Xiongnu cross the Great Wall, they knew that the situation was not much better elsewhere than on this side.
This side was also supported by 2,000 Han troops, and this side held out for about three days.
Now there are only more than 300 Han troops left, and the Xiongnu still have more than 2,000 people.
They had only faded a short time ago, and they were to rest and wait until the afternoon to continue their assault.
At this moment, Liu Zhang led two thousand Han troops to support.
At present, he can only lead so much, and the Ganyuan Pavilion is in a dangerous terrain.
The Han army here was only able to hold out for about three days, and this pavilion barrier was too far away from Liu Zhang and them.
Today it was snowing again, and there was a biting cold wind.
The defenders on the pavilion saw a group of cavalry coming this way, and they knew that it was coming for support.
Recently, it has been rumored in the Han army that Liu Zhang is the god of war of the Han Dynasty.
He is invincible, invincible, and he has won more with less many times.
"Reinforcements are coming, these Huns are dead!"
"Come and see it's the Great Han God of War, he personally came to support!"
One of the Han soldiers pointed at Liu Zhang, who later came to the aid of this side.
He also heard about Liu Zhang's bravery, and many people rumored that he was the god of war of the Han Dynasty.
The Xiongnu outside the Great Wall heard the cheers of the Han army, and they knew that reinforcements from the Han army were coming.
The Xiongnu fought with the Han army here for three days, and they were about to cross the Great Wall.
With the arrival of reinforcements from the Han army, they are about to fall short.
The Huns were so unwilling, they couldn't just go back.
Wouldn't the previous efforts be in vain, Liu Zhang and the others climbed the Great Wall.
They also participated in the battle, and the Xiongnu looked at Liu Zhang from afar.
"Honghou Liu Zhang is here, you Huns will either retreat or come and die."
Liu Zhang shouted in Xiongnu to those Xiongnu, they should have heard his name.
The Huns outside the Great Wall heard it, and they did not because of Liu Zhang's appearance.
Just retreat to the northern grasslands, and they must take this pavilion barrier.
They sacrificed so many companions, anyway, the Han army was very tired at the moment.
The Huns are almost rested, and they want to take it in one go.
"The Huns in other places have been wiped out, and you still want to fight with a few thousand of you."
Liu Zhang told them in Xiongnu that all the Huns were killed in battle.
The Xiongnu here don't know the situation in other places, and they fight to the end with the Han army.
I always feel that these Xiongnu have a bad brain, and they have been fighting with the Han army in the past few months.
They are more defeats and fewer wins, and they use those tactical strategies.
It has long been recognized by the Han army, and the Xiongnu are passively beaten everywhere.
It stands to reason that the two sides should have a truce in winter, and this year's Xiongnu's approach was unusual.
Of the 50,000 Huns who came to invade, there are now only more than 2,000 left.
The Huns continued to attack the city, and they climbed the city walls with ladders.
The Han army coped skillfully, and if it weren't for Liu Zhang, they came over in time to support.
This time the Xiongnu are very likely to cross the Great Wall, and the Xiongnu will also fail.
There are still tens of thousands of Han troops in Wuwei County, and the two thousand Xiongnu can't be defeated at all.
Liu Zhang fought side by side with the other Han troops, and he did not underestimate the enemy.
The Xiongnu were constantly decreasing, and the Xiongnu wanted to lure them out of the city.
The two sides fought in the field, and they shouted and cursed in the Xiongnu language, which angered the Han army.
Perhaps they would leave the Great Wall, and without the protection of the Great Wall, the Xiongnu would be sure to wipe out these Han troops.
The only thing that made them jealous was Liu Zhang, who defeated many Xiongnu generals who could fight well.
At the beginning, tens of thousands of Xiongnu besieged Liu Zhang, but he survived.
The Huns were like a pack of crazy wolves, and they climbed the city wall one after another.
It seems that the method of agitation is useless, and the Han army poured gold juice on the Xiongnu.
Those Huns were scalded and screamed continuously, and some Huns were hit by rolling wood and thunder stones.
After more than an hour of engagement before, until the last Hun fell.
The Xiongnu who invaded the border of Wuwei County were all wiped out, and this time the Han army killed more than 5,000 people.
More than 10,000 people were also injured, and Liu Zhang's mood was extremely sad.
This time, so many Han troops were killed, and all 50,000 Huns were killed.
Liu Zhang asked the presidents of each court to count the casualties and then hand them over to him.
The dead Han soldiers will be compensated, and the wounded will be treated in time.
They can still survive, and those Han soldiers who died in battle can only be buried in Wuwei County.
Their hometown is far from here, and their remains are not easy to transport.
Cremation was not popular in this era, and they wanted their remains intact.
Even if they die at the border, their souls will guard the border.
As is customary, the relics of the fallen Han soldiers will be handed over to their families.
The clothes they wore before their deaths will be buried in their respective hometowns, and Liu Zhang is very sad.
These were thousands of lives, and he did not sympathize with the Huns who died in battle.
That's their own fault, and the two sides were supposed to have a truce in the winter.
Those Xiongnu nobles were unwilling to lose their territory and took advantage of the cold winter to sneak attack the border of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Zhang didn't persuade them to go back, but they didn't listen.
Liu Zhang leaned against the wall and fell asleep, he was too tired.
These three days go back and forth, and the rest time of each day adds up to less than two hours.
Because of the urgency of the war in various places, he knows that saving an emergency is like fighting a fire.
Ganyuan Pavilion Barrier was the last fortress to be attacked by the Xiongnu, and the crisis here was resolved.
He lay down by the wall and slept with peace of mind, and these Han troops would not harm him.
One of the Han soldiers brought a woolen blanket to cover him and let him rest.
"Ming Fujun is so tired, he can't take off his clothes these days. He led everyone to support everywhere, and he had less than an hour or two of rest every day. ”
In the past few days, he has eaten dry food for every meal, think of him as a nobleman, sharing weal and woe with everyone.
Think about the aristocrats in the Han Dynasty, who spent their days drinking and drinking.
At this time, those aristocrats hugged the beauties left and right, and played all kinds of tricks with those beauties.
And Liu Zhang was fighting every day, and his armor was covered with mud.
His face looked a little haggard, and everywhere he went, he wiped out the Huns.
"He is worthy of being the god of war of the Han Dynasty, and he is invincible wherever he goes."
Captain Gan Yuan, who was lying on a stretcher, admired him very much, and he thought that his serious injuries were nothing compared to Liu Zhang's fatigue.
He is a civil and military Taishou, and he always reverses unfavorable situations.
If the imperial court knew, it would definitely be overjoyed, and some Han soldiers were guarding Liu Zhang's side.
Let her rest well today, and then look at the corpses of the Huns lying on the ground outside the Great Wall.
They are stationed at the border, and they have experienced a lot of war.
No matter how many corpses lay on the ground, they didn't feel any fear.
The corpses of those Xiongnu were left alone for the time being, and the rest of the Han army lay down by the city wall to rest.
Some Han soldiers were in charge of guarding, and they took turns resting.
At night, Liu Zhang woke up, and he felt that his physical strength had almost recovered.
I just felt a little hungry and saw some Han soldiers resting.
He waved his hand lightly, not to wake the others.
When those Han soldiers saw that he had woken up, they were very excited, and they wanted to greet Liu Zhang.
How is he feeling now? Liu Zhang sat by the wall.
Several Han soldiers brought food, and they cooked a pot of hot mutton soup.
Han Jun served Liu Zhang a large bowl and asked him to take a few more pieces of dough.
Although the dough is a little dry, it can be soaked in mutton broth.
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded to them in thanks, and he broke the hard dough cake into the mutton soup and soaked it for a while.
The mutton soup didn't smell bad at all, he took a light sip, and the mutton soup tasted really fresh.
The resting Han soldiers smelled the fragrance, and they also woke up.
Everyone served a bowl and everyone drank a delicious and warm mutton soup.
They felt comfortable, and the humiliated corpses were carried away.
The Han army threw the corpses of the Xiongnu into the valley and let the beasts eat the corpses of the Xiongnu.
It was a cold day, and the beasts were short of food.
The Han army also saved digging pits to bury the corpses of the Xiongnu, anyway, it was very cold, and the corpses decomposed very slowly.
They could often hear the roars of wild beasts, and the fallen Han soldiers had already bought them.
Their relics will be sent back to their hometowns after a while, and the families of the Han soldiers who died in battle can receive bereavement pensions in the local counties.
Everyone was accustomed to this situation, and they were stationed at the border gates, often engaged the enemy.
Liu Zhang had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, and he stood up and looked at the north side of the Great Wall.
The cold wind was blowing in his face, and he missed his family very much at this moment.
