Chapter 261: The Hedgehog General
Late that night, King Zuo Xian and the Xiongnu general this morning quietly set off from the camp with men and horses and headed for Shule. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info along the way, King Zuo Xian was cautious, not daring to go too fast, for fear of ambushing the traps of the Han army on both sides of the road. The galloping of the horse was only a journey of more than half an hour, and King Zuo Xian walked for more than an hour, but everyone did not dare to say anything, and those present were all those who had learned the cunning of the Han army, knowing that this was a life-saving move, and being careful.
When they came to Shule City, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't encounter any organs along the way, and finally arrived safely. The night was dark, and only the night watchmen who lit the fire on the city of Shule could be seen in the distance.
King Zuo Xian wanted to see what was going on in this Shule City first, so he said to the accompanying general, "You stay here, I will go and see the surroundings of this Shule City first, and then act when I come back."
The general nodded, and then motioned for the soldiers to dismount and rest, waiting for King Zuo Xian to return. And King Zuo Xian took his soldiers to take a look around the Shule City.
With the distant inspection of King Zuoxian, he felt that this city was really getting more and more tricky, both sides were either high mountains or lofty mountains, and there was a feeling that the river was flowing all year round in the east, and there was almost no flat land suitable for placing troops in array, the only one suitable for the formation could be a large-scale siege of the city, and only the city gate they had stormed today, but today hundreds of people stormed, and they could not hurt Shule City in the slightest, but they were killed and lost their armor, although the guards are powerful, but this Shule City is also very tricky to build, it is a dignified and upright Yang Scheme, but you are helpless。
Stationed at the edge of the city, watching the Shule River roll into the city, although the Shule is a strong city, but the surrounding terrain, the Hun army is good at fighting on horseback, Mu Ran dismounted to attack the city, it is really more auspicious. King Zuo Xian stood on the shore, thinking hard about the plan to break the city, it may not be a good plan to attack head-on, if the Han army is determined to defend the city, the Xiongnu are helpless.
"King Zuo Xian, when are we going back? After all, there are still my Hun soldiers to save under the city" The soldiers saw that King Zuo Xian was thinking hard, worried that he had forgotten another task of this trip.
"Oh, I forgot, let's go, let's go back, I'm afraid they are already impatient" King Zuo Xian turned his horse's head and returned to the place where his subordinates were, it doesn't hurt to think of a plan to break the city tonight, but people still have to be saved.
On the other hand, looking forward to the stars and the moon, he finally looked forward to King Zuoxian, and King Zuoxian said very apologetically, "I'm sorry, look at this city, I see it too much, I delay this side, and I hope to forgive my sins"
The general was very open, although it was a little late, but after all, he still came, "It's okay, it's okay, without further ado, let's act as soon as possible"
King Zuo Xian nodded: "Sword and shield team, go to the city with the general's personal guards and bring back our brothers!"
The sword and shield team of five hundred people approached Shule City densely, the sky was dark, but it was indeed impossible to see the situation under the city, and when all the sword and shield teams entered, they began to find their dead or undead partners, and when they were ready to drag them back, there were bursts of dense bell ringing in the open space, which was particularly obvious in the empty valley, not to mention whether the Han army on the city tower heard it, even the Zuo Xian King in the distance could clearly hear the bell.
King Zuo Xian immediately shouted, "Oops! There is an ambush!
The Hun general was taken aback! "There is an ambush again, warriors, follow me!"
Then drive the troops to meet them.
And the Han army on the city tower, it is Shaoyuan who is on duty tonight, Shaoyuan remembers what Gao Zhong said, "As long as you remember more than three bells, no matter what the situation, shoot a round of rockets below", so Shaoyuan for the first time in history, as the main general, passionately shouted "Release the rocket!", the troops on the city tower beat the drum to inform the whole city, and the rest of the people shot rows of rockets below.
Under the rocket, the simple wooden shield of the Huns was ignited, and the entire city tower was lit up by the fire in an instant. Where the Huns are is directly clear at a glance.
At this time, the Han army had changed back to ordinary bows and arrows, and began to shoot a rain of arrows under the tower, and the Huns were now in a dilemma, throwing away the shield could not stop the rain of arrows, picking up the shield, on the one hand, the shield was on fire, and it would expose itself.
Shaoyuan was very forgetful to order his troops to shoot arrows, Gao Chong and Wu Xu had already dressed up and climbed the city tower, and the first sentence that came up was "Well done, Shaoyuan, I guessed that these Huns were restless and deflated."
Wu Xu smiled and said, "There are bigger things to reward them!
I saw a few stout soldiers, from the city tower to move out more than a dozen sealed wooden barrels, and then one after another to throw down the city, where they were thrown, all emitted a sky-high fire, fire oil splashed everywhere, splashing countless people. At this time, the Huns could no longer hold their camp, and the crowd forced them to roll on the ground, demanding to extinguish the fire on their bodies.
Seeing that the Huns were in chaos and the flames were soaring, Gao Zhong ordered to stop archery and quietly watch a good show.
And Zuo Xianwang, who rushed over to answer, said, "Don't panic! Don't panic! Those who can move will withdraw first, and all run north, there is water on the back! All to the north! There is water on the back!"
Hearing the saying that there is water in the north, those Hun soldiers who have fire, or are laughing so dry that their lips are dry, all hurriedly ran north, very embarrassed, King Zuo Xian also said, "General, you take your people to the north immediately, the Han army will not go out of the city, such a fire, not only us, but also the Han army itself"
The Hun general was already dead at the moment, he wanted to save people, but he didn't expect to put more people in, Zuo Xian Wang saw that the general was silent, so he comforted, "It's not the general's crime, it's just that this Han general is really vicious"
The sky-high fire shone on the city tower, and Gao Pet set fire to Shule City again, this time the mood was different, Gao Pet just patted Wu Xu and Shao Yuan, "You all go back to sleep, just leave it to me here to continue the vigil"
Shaoyuan doesn't care, he can be regarded as commanding a victory, so he can naturally sleep well. Wu Xu also gave his hand "General, then we will retire first"
The screams of the Hun army became less and less, and the firelight gradually turned from bright to dark, and the front of Shule City once again transferred to tranquility, with a shallow smell of burning, blowing a cool night breeze.
Shule's first battle, no, the first day, is considered to be the end, and the strong setback of the Hun army will inevitably make the Hun army take crazy revenge on this city, and it must be that Shule will not break his oath. And this is also the goal of Gao Pet, the longer the Xiongnu drag on in Shule, the less pressure there will be elsewhere. He will turn into a nail, incarnate into a hedgehog, and block the Xiongnu in the north of the mountain.
