Chapter 272: The Death of the Bloody Battle of Shule

Dongfang spat out a touch of fish belly white, and the morning light broke through the dawn and hit the young general who was wearing gold armor and slowly walking on the city wall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Gao Pet patted Wu Xu, who was keeping vigil, "Captain Wu, I'm here for a shift, you go back and rest"

Wu Xu bowed his hand, "Subordinates obey orders, everyone listens, change guards!", the soldiers heard Wu Xu's command, so they retreated, and let other comrades fill their positions.

The soldiers who had finished resting, taking over the tired comrades-in-arms, stood majestically and proudly on the head of the city, while Gao Zhong squatted beside the stone steps, picked up a stone that he kept, and drew another mark on the wall.

The guards on the side asked, "General, what is this? I see that the first thing you do when you go up to the castle tower every day is always here to scratch, and there are not many, so you draw every day."

Gao Pet smiled and said, "On the first day I arrived in Shule, I drew a mark here, every day that passed, draw a mark, don't ask me how many I stroked, I didn't count carefully, I counted it myself when I had time" Gao Pet put down the stone, or stood on top of the city tower, looking at the calm mountain road in the distance. In his heart, he was silently counting the days after the welcome tea, "It's the third day, and the Huns should be ready to act."

In fact, the Huns have indeed acted, and all the personal soldiers under King Zuo Xian are more than 3,000 people, with all the wells, ladders, and city chariots that have been built. All the knowledge that King Zuo Xian had learned in the Great Han Dynasty and the things he had seen appeared here, and he had no way to retreat, if this Shule could not be conquered, he would be the one who died. Originally, it was almost impossible to let these galloping warriors go down to fight in the field, but with a large number of lost horses and their own chiefs in danger, they were willing to fight to the death. As the best at siege in the Xiongnu army, this time the Xiongnu are finally going to meet the Han army.

King Zuoxian's troops slowly left the camp, but Moore withstood the wind and cold, wrapped himself tightly, and whispered to his attendants, "Let Ben Khan's royal court guards go with King Zuoxian, but seeing that King Zuoxian is in need, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, must not retreat half a step"

The attendant answered and withdrew. But Moore shook his head helplessly, "Zali, I can't help it, under my royal court, among the troops who can fight well, only your troops have never attacked Shule, but your troops are the troops under my Huns, but they are the troops who are most familiar with the method of siege, this battle, if even you can't win, then our Huns' military luck is also extinct here."

King Zuo Xian led the troops out of the camp not far away, and 800 people from the royal court had already caught up, "King Zuo Xian, the Great Khan ordered me to come and help King Zuo Xian attack the city"

King Zuo Xian smiled, "The royal court guards are all warriors on horseback, this siege battle is to fight on foot, but I am afraid that your personal guards may not be useful."

The guard's face changed, this King Zuo Xian seemed to be hinting at something, as the most elite soldier of the Huns, the royal court guards had their own pride, "Lord Zuo Xian, please rest assured, our royal court guards are the strongest soldiers of the Huns, naturally whether it is foot combat or cavalry combat, they are the strongest Huns, please Zuo Xian King order us!"

King Zuo Xian nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then if you need to, you will rely on the personal guards more." The whole army accelerated and set off for Shule on the mountainside!"

Under the scorching sun, the soldiers defending Shule City were eating millet porridge to replenish their strength and water. Gao Pet also drank porridge while looking into the distance. Gao Zhong unconsciously looked into the distance and had been watching it for a morning, and the soldiers were extremely puzzled, "General, is there anything special about that forest, you have been watching it for a full morning!"

Gao Zhong said expressionlessly, "Is it? It's been so long? I'm not looking at that forest, don't guess."

The soldier asked, "What are you looking at, general?"

Gao Zhong said coldly: "Huns!"

"The general found that there were Hun spies in that forest?"

Gao Zhong rolled his eyes: "Isn't that for sure? I'm looking at the army of the Huns!"

The soldiers were still so shocked: "Ah! There is an ambush inside!"

Gao Zhong said helplessly, "I'm waiting for when they will appear, we have humiliated the Huns so much, the later he comes, the more worried I am"

The pro-soldier smiled bitterly and said, "General, how can you talk like that"

Suddenly, a soldier ran over and said, "General, the Huns are coming! They have brought a large number of siege engines!

Gao Zhong sneered, "Finally, can't you hold back and want to come?

The pro-soldiers were helpless, "General, I didn't expect you to really look forward to it"

Gao Pet is extremely confident, "What are you afraid of, we are people who are blessed by God!

After a while, Wu Xu and Shaoyuan put on their armor and walked up to the city tower, and Gao Zhong immediately ordered when they met, "Captain Wu, you go and move the bed crossbow up immediately, and it will work wonders to hit the well fence with things." Shaoyuan, the Sabre Team will be handed over to you, and I will listen to my orders later."

The Han army was all in place, and the four bed crossbows were erected on the high platform, covered with sackcloth, and hidden, waiting for the well fence to enter the range of fire.

The Huns faced this time, but the Hun troops trained by Zhaliyi Hulu Scoop, I don't know how to do anything else, but at least the siege technique is also well trained. The sword and shield team covered the cart troops under the well fence and slowly advanced, and the well fence pushed the railing, and countless Huns lay in ambush under the baffle, waiting to enter the firing range. Behind the well fence was the ladder troops, advancing slowly step by step, and finally the middle of the passage was a rushing car that broke the door.

Gao Chong saw the advance of the Xiongnu, very much like the Han army, and immediately thought that it must be the troops of King Zuoxian, the well fence and the shield team were in front, Gao Chong immediately ordered, "The archer puts arrows to measure the range, and the bed crossbow is ready"

The archers of the Great Han immediately bent their bows and arrows, and fired the arrows in their hands, which rose into the air and crossed the limit. The Huns immediately stopped, ready to attack, but the bows and arrows did not appear from their heads, but stopped at a place thirty paces in front of the Hun army, and drew an arrow line, that is, the distance of the Han army's battle, the last formal warning of the Han army, not to be unexpected.

King Zuo Xian also saw the line, so he raised his hands, "The whole army continues to advance, and the archers of the well fence are ready!"

The commanders of both sides raised their hands and waited for the first moment of engagement to strike back against the enemy.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer step by step, ten steps, nine steps, eight steps, seven steps, six steps, five steps, four steps, three steps, two steps, one step!

Almost at the same time, the commanders on both sides shouted "Shoot!" at the same time, and the archers on both sides bent their bows and arrows and shot the first arrow of the battle!
