Chapter 325: Gao Zheng

The trebuchets of the Han army were pouring flint into Pei Shan City, and the bed crossbow was constantly shooting huge crossbow arrows, and the terrible impact hit Pei Shan City, and the small camps on the head of Pei Shan City were destroyed again and again, and the Han army did not send troops to attack the city, but chose to pour these terrible firepower into the city day and night. Under the attack of dozens of trebuchets of the Han army, there were basically no intact buildings in Peishan City. The Huns hid under the city walls to rest, as this was the only place where they could not be hit by the Han army's giant trebuchet.

The artillery attacked for three days in a row, and the Huns were already panicking at the moment, and their Great Khan, Ke Moore, finally appeared in front of them to muster up the courage for them, "You don't have to be afraid, you just need to persevere, soon, King Zuo Xian will bring reinforcements to reinforce, we just need to hold on longer"

The nobles were relieved to see that their Great Khan had finally emerged, at least their Great Khan had not left, proving that the city could still fight. And the right sage king also said, "What are you afraid of, this Pei Shan is made of bricks and stones, and the earth walls are much stronger than the real soil and slag of the left slag king, don't you see, didn't they just smash some houses? Moreover, do you see that they dare to come up? Don't you dare? Let them smash it, can you really rely on these things to make our Hun warriors succumb?" But Moore also said, "You all go back, in a few days, it will be the rainy season, I will see how these Han troops can attack the city at that time?"

The Xiongnu army in Peishan City was supported by their Great Khan, and their morale was somewhat restored. Moreover, the Han army did not really attack from the front, which seemed to confirm his idea.

But Moore knew that this Pei Shan City would not be able to stand it without the support of the on-head defense line, which can be seen from the fact that Pei Shan City built the city defense at the beginning. At the beginning, in the royal library of Pei Shan City, when Zuo Xian Wang flipped through the city records of Pei Shan City, he found a secret passage, and also found that when the city was built, it was designed by the Han people with one hand and one foot, and the Han people helped Pei Shan to build the country, and they had already considered how to deal with it in case Pei Shan rebelled one day, and the means taken by the Han people were more obscure, that is, the structure of the city wall in the east was different from the other three walls, ordinary people could not see it, but connoisseurs would know that the power of the city wall was gathered at several points, if those points were attacked intensively, the city wall was in danger of collapsing in minutes。 Moreover, outside the east of the city, there is all open space, which is clearly reserved for the Han army to attack in the future. Knowing this situation, King Zuo Xian had already made two preparations, on the one hand, he continued to build a defensive line to the east to prevent the Han army from coming from the east as much as possible. On the other hand, he was ready to retreat at any time, and this plan was very secret, and basically no one knew about it except for King Zuo Xian himself and the Great Khan of Kemoor.

When the Han army suddenly broke the connection between all the defensive lines overnight, King Zuo Xian realized that the city could not be defended for a long time, so he proposed to Ke Moore to carry out that mysterious plan, and in order to ensure comfort, they also found a big help, King Youxian. With the assistance of King Youxian, the retreat plan they carried out, from the retreat of the whole army, to a special plan to regard Pei Shan as a line of defense, the bait of this plan is not small, the miscellaneous army of the nobles and the Great Khan of Ke Moore used as bait to personally drag the Han army.

At present, the Han army has approached Pei Shan, and both sides have entered the rhythm of Ke Moore and Zuo Xianwang's plan without knowing it. The more than 20,000 Huns did not know the fate of their abandonment, but followed the Great Khan, who might abandon them at any time, to defend a city that could not be defended.

On the Han side, it was obvious that this plan was being implemented in an orderly manner. Gao Zheng also had a copy of the design drawings on Pei Shan's city wall, which was brought out from Luoyang, so Gao Zheng would give up attacking the city head-on, but instead bombarded the east city wall, intending to collapse the city wall and reduce casualties. It's just that both the Han army and the Xiongnu seem to have underestimated this wall. After all, the design of Pei Shan City was more than 20 years ago, and although the structure of the city wall has not changed, the belt must be thickened if it should be thickened, and it will be strengthened if it can be reinforced. Hence this wall on the east side. It's the weakest of the four sides, but it's not so easy for you to knock on.

After three days of artillery attack, the eastern wall of Peishan City was crumbling, but it did not fall. Seeing this, Gao Zheng began to think of other methods, and the final conclusion was to use the frontal assault that he had not used on a large scale!

"I heard that the Great Khan of the Huns, Ke Moor, is also in the city?" Gao Zheng asked calmly

The people in the tent nodded, and Wu Xu arched his hand and said, "General Hui, after the Xiongnu Great Khan Ke Moore conquered the countries of the Western Regions, he has been entrenched in Pei Shan. ”

Gao Zheng nodded, "Pass the order, suspend the attack tomorrow, and wait for General Ben to meet the Hun Great Khan, but I want to see what this dying man looks like."

The next day, the imperial red flag was given to Phnom Penh, and the banner of the Gao family was opened to Pei Shan City under the thunder of war drums.

Gao Zheng was wearing a lion helmet, a horizontal spear, and the unique Gao family guards held long knives and big shields, standing in front of Gao Zheng, and the Huns saw that the Han army suddenly put on such a battle, and hurriedly went back to tell Ke Moore.

But as soon as Moore heard this, a majestic Han army appeared under the city, and hurriedly put on his battle robes to see what was going on.

Gao Zheng stood under the city and shouted, "The Great Han Sima, Dingyuan Marquis Gao is here, please ask the Hun Khan Ke Moore to come out and answer"

But Moore shouted at the head of the city, "I have heard the prestige of the general for a long time, this Khan is the Great Khan of the Huns, why did the unknown general lead the army here to attack my city and kill my subjects?"

Gao Zheng raised his spear and said, "When is this land of Pei Shan the land of your Huns? You Huns don't do anything to produce, they rob when they lack food, and they steal when they lack horses.

But Moore raised his eyebrows: "We Huns advocate nature and force, only stronger warriors are worthy of land and slaves, the law of nature! Where is Ben Khan funny? On the contrary, you Han, this is no longer the land of the Han Dynasty, why did the general bring troops here?"

Gao Zheng raised his spear and continued, "The people of the Silk Road in the Western Regions all yearn for my Han Tianwei, although the people of the Western Regions are not Han people, but they are the master and slave state with my Han Dynasty, and those who offend my Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away!"

But Moore laughed and said, "If you want to fight, then you will fight, why is the general still delaying the attack?"

Gao Zheng laughed loudly and said, "General Ben is just here today to see what you look like as an ignorant person, and then my army will enter the city, so that my spear can find the ghost under the gun!"
