Chapter 277: The Mountain of Corpses of the Bloody Battle of Shule

King Zuo Xian angrily rushed to the bottom of the city, grabbing the armor of the leader of the royal court's guards, "Why did you retreat! Who told you to retreat?"

No matter how angry King Zuo Xian is, no matter how strong he is, he will not be the opponent of the leader of the personal guards who looks like a tiger, I saw that the leader shook off King Zuo Xian without hesitation, and seemed to ignore the eyes of the Hun soldiers present, "My royal court guards have lost nearly eight hundred people on it, and there are no two out of ten, if you don't retreat, my royal court guards will all fold here."

King Zuo Xian shouted angrily, "You can't retreat!" The Han army is not numerous enough, but its combat effectiveness is amazing, if we don't forcibly rely on our advantage of numbers, we will not be able to conquer Shule."

The leader shot back: "What King Zuo Xian means by his words is that I want my royal court guards to fight here to the last soldier and not be able to retreat?"

King Zuo Xian shouted angrily: "That's right, this is a military order! You retreat like this, not only blocking the soldiers who went up to support, but also weakening the combat strength of our army on the city tower, retreating before the order, this is a capital crime!"

Leader "King Zuoxian, our royal court guards are only on the orders of the Great Khan to assist, the bloody battle has been so far, I am worthy of the Great Khan, if King Zuo Xian insists on going to the Great Khan to talk about this, I am not afraid, now we have to evacuate the front line, farewell" King Zuo Xian pushed away King Zuoxian, took his subordinates and rode away from the city, and went to the rear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone watched the royal court's guards evacuate in despair. The heart is also mixed, the strongest people are forced to leave, and the battle loss rate of not two out of ten makes all the Hun soldiers frightened. The heart of the Xiongnu army was shaken, and the soldiers who rushed to the city were already showing obvious signs of defeat and escape without the containment of the royal court's guards.

King Zuo Xian can't care about so much, and the only way out for him now is to keep sending his men to the city, trying to use the quantity to consume the quality advantage of the Han army, and see who can't bear it first!

Because of the sudden retreat of the Xiongnu royal court's guards, all the ladders were occupied at once, and the people below could not come up, after Wu Xu sensitively discovered this phenomenon, Ma Shan ordered the troops to increase their efforts to attack and push the Huns back again. By the time the guards had really taken away all the friendly troops they could drive, the Huns had already been isolated into small positions at the head of the city. The upper entrance of the ladder has been controlled by the pikemen of the Han army, and they began to prevent the Hun army from ascending the city by relying on the spears.

Gao Zhong and Shaoyuan took the last troops to sweep away the remnants of the Huns, and fought fiercely for half a day in the fierce offensive and defensive battles of the city, and finally under the retreat of the Xiongnu army's royal court guards, they created a not long or short for the Han army, but enough for the Han army to recapture the Chengtou territory that was actively ceded to the Huns at the lowest cost and in the shortest time.

In the end, the whole battle seemed to be back to square one, the Huns once again needed to fight to get to the top of the city, and the Han army needed to block the Huns under the city of Shule, but the difference was that this time, the Han army did not intend to have reservations as before.

His subordinates could no longer break through the head of Shangshule City, and King Zuo Xian was not reconciled, he looked around and saw what cards he still had to play. "Rush the city! Get on now! Archers, put arrows on the city!"

"But my lord, if we let us fire our arrows like this, we may injure our brothers on the ladder," a centurion reported to King Zuo Xian with a trembling voice.

"If we can't capture this city, it's also a dead end, as long as we can break through this city, it's worth sacrificing as many people as possible! You hurry up and release the arrows, if you don't obey, don't talk about the centurion, I'll take your life now!" King Zuo Xian was angry, and the royal court guards didn't listen to him, but his subordinates were actually questioning his orders.

The centurion felt that his leader was already extremely angry at this moment, and he really shouldn't anger him at this moment. So the centurion hurried back and ordered his men to "shoot arrows at the top of the city, immediately, don't ask why, just shoot it!" The archers looked surprised, but the military order was above, and they could only try to avoid their allies, but in this way, the bows and arrows that could not be suppressed flew directly over the city and fell into the city, without any damage.

On the other hand, the city car can only force the city gate, but this city gate is not a simple wooden gate as early as the beginning, and there are thick boulders behind the gate, but only the city car made of wood can not do any substantial damage to the city gate.

Gao Chong sat on the head of the city, "This Shule City is like a fortress, how could the Xiongnu siege weapon hurt that gate", Gao Chong looked at the stairs and saw that the soldiers were cleaning up the corpses of the Huns or the wounded soldiers who did not escape, stacking wooden rolling stones. Suddenly, Gao Chong had an idea: "We don't throw the wood and rolling stones now, and throw all the Huns down, whether they are dead or alive, throw them all down!"

The Han army was surprised for a while, after all, this practice is not common, generally no one will use prisoners of war as a kind of weapon, but they will not question Gao Chong's order, anyway, it doesn't matter what it does to hinder the Xiongnu army. So the soldiers raised the Huns in their hands and threw them down one by one to smash people.

The Han army felt that it was not a big problem, but it was uncomfortable to change to the Huns, and at first everyone did not know what it was in the face of the sudden appearance of a black mass, and they dodged one after another. However, after the black regiments fell one by one, the Huns' faces changed greatly, and it was clear that they were their comrades-in-arms who went up first.

When King Zuo Xian saw that the Han army was so undeceiving, and threw the captured and wounded soldiers directly from the city to block them, he scolded "You Han people are also immoral, and you are so ruthless in the face of wounded soldiers."

Gao Zhong stood on the head of the city and scolded: "Who is the first to raise the unrighteous soldiers? Our Han army is going to defend the city so desperately, and in times of war, each fighting for the country, how can there be so much nonsense!

The Han army threw down hundreds of Huns on the city, many of whom had already had some of the corpses separated, and the Huns faced such a ferocious Han army, looking at the comrades who died tragically, and also looked at the comrades who were stuck on the ladder and could not attack. There is no desire to fight. All of them were concentrating on picking up their comrades who had been left behind by the Han army. However, running down from such a high city, if the Huns could not absorb the shock, they would already be dying, and they would simply fall to the ground and die.

"My lord, we have suffered too many casualties, there are hundreds here, there are more than a thousand in the back camp, we have already suffered more than half of the casualties, if we insist on fighting, I am afraid that we will pile up a mountain of corpses at the head of this Shule City, and we may not be able to capture this Shule City!

King Zuo Xian was reminded by his subordinates, and his heart sank, yes, if he didn't break through Shule, and the troops in his hands were exhausted, it would be unimaginable. King Zuo Xian looked at Shule, which was like a wall of ten thousand feet, and looked at the wounded soldiers and corpses piled up one after the other, and a small hill had faintly appeared. I could only sigh......

"Withdraw the army, withdraw the army, bring the wounded soldiers, retreat to thirty miles to reorganize the situation, destroy all the siege weapons, form a wall of fire, and block the pursuit of the Han army!"
