Chapter 246 Liucheng is a tough guy

Liu Bao, the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu, personally stepped forward to supervise the battle.

As soon as Liu Bao arrived, the momentum of the Xiongnu soldiers immediately became high.

"kill!"

"Everyone, charge forward!" The Huns soldiers waved their scimitars and kept charging forward.

Just like the stormy waves crashing against the coast, the dense crowd of Huns soldiers is indeed a sight that makes people feel dizzy.

Since the Huns soldiers were less than 300 steps away from the city wall, the power of the catapults was greatly reduced at this distance, and the crossbows simply lost their effect.

However, the reduced power of catapults and ballistae does not mean that the defenders on the city wall have nothing to do with these charging prairie barbarians.

Heavy weapons are useless, what about light weapons?

The slings and crossbows are useless, and there are countless crossbows!

Yu Jin waved the long sword in his hand and immediately shouted: "The crossbowmen are ready!"

"Fire the arrow!"

Following Yu Jin's order, Cao Jun's crossbowmen unfurled their bows and nocked arrows, aiming at the Xiongnu soldiers and Xianbei soldiers under the city wall and shooting at them.

Bows and arrows are a weapon for the defensive side.

Because he was on the defensive side standing on the city wall, he had a commanding position on the city wall and could covertly shoot at the attacking troops below the city wall.

It can be said that the entire city wall is within the shooting range of the defenders on the city wall. Except for the poor round shields in their hands, they have no defensive measures at all.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

The rain of arrows that covered the sky tore through the sky and poured towards the Xiongnu and Xianbei under the city.

This shooting method no longer requires aiming, because it is a coverage shot.

There is a saying that if you are poor, you will strike with precision, but if you are rich, you will be covered with firepower.

Today, Prime Minister Cao has occupied half of the Han Dynasty. Compared with these grassland barbarians, he is naturally a wealthy party.

Heavy rain poured down, and the Xianbei and Huns coalition troops below the city were shot so hard that they could not even lift their heads.

I can only hold up the round shield or wooden shield in my hand and rush forward bravely.

Fortunately, the Xiongnu and Xianbei coalition forces were large enough, and there were always people who could brave the rain of arrows and rush to the city wall.

Soon, a ladder was set up on the city wall. The Hun soldiers below the city held a shield in one hand to block the arrows shot from the wall, while the other hand held the ladder and climbed quickly.

As more and more ladders are put up on the city wall, the power of bows and arrows will become much smaller at this time.

However, there are also short-range anti-personnel weapons.

The long-range anti-personnel weapons are slings and crossbows, and the medium-range anti-personnel weapons are various bows and arrows.

So, what is this short-range lethal weapon?

The answer is Thunder Stone Rolling Wood and Golden Juice.

Thunder stone rolling logs are huge rocks and logs.

The soldiers of Cao's army on the city saw that the ladders were crowded with Hun soldiers, so they lifted up the large rocks and logs they had prepared and threw them at the ladders.

After the big stone was thrown down, a loud "bang" was heard, and the Hun soldiers on the ladder fell down like dumplings.

At this height, if you were knocked down from the ladder, you would only hear an "ouch" sound, and your life would be over.

In addition, there were many soldiers carrying hot cauldrons to the city wall.

Inside this large pot is a thick, hot, and foul-smelling yellow liquid.

This thing is called golden juice.

If you want to say which weapon is the most lethal in this siege operation, it is definitely gold juice.

The power of crossbows and catapults is not as powerful as the golden juice.

The most important thing is that the manufacturing cost of this thing is extremely low, almost free of charge, and it can be produced and sold by oneself.

Golden juice is made from human excrement, urine, or animal excrement and urine. These things are mixed together and boiled to a boil, and then poured directly from the city wall.

This thing can be called a biochemical weapon from the Three Kingdoms period.

If hot golden juice is poured on your body, you will be burned immediately.

The most important thing is that there are bacteria in here!

Even in the 21st century, burns are a very difficult problem.

If you were burned by gold juice, there was no way to disinfect it during the Three Kingdoms period, so it was almost certain to die.

After you were scalded with gold juice, even if you invited Hua Tuo, he could only look at your injury and shake his head.

Pot after pot of golden juice was poured down, and groups of Huns and Xianbei were burned by the golden juice and fell down from the ladder screaming.

Occasionally, one or two Huns and Xianbei people climbed up the city wall with all their strength. What awaited them was a Cao army soldier holding a spear.

The Xiongnu and Xianbei soldiers who were just about to climb the city wall were met by several sharp spears, which stabbed them to the core and made their hearts beat high.

The Huns and Wuhuan people on the ladder fell down from the ladder like dumplings to the city wall.

However, no one can rush up to the city wall.

Yu Jin was a well-known guard in Cao's camp, and the city wall he guarded was airtight, with no flaws to speak of.

Whether it is the defense line used by the Huns to attack or the Xianbei people's line of defense, they are all impregnable and have not been loosened in the slightest.

This fight lasted for two hours, and the Xiongnu and Xianbei made no progress except for throwing countless corpses under the city wall.

The fight had lasted from noon to evening, and both Yu Fuluo and Tan Shihuai were discouraged.

However, the two of them pretended to be cool in front of Taodun, and now they were embarrassed to go back like this if they were slapped in the face.

With no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the attack.

Wuhuan Camp.

Looking at Wuhuan's side, the camp has been set up and pots are being cooked.

Taton Chanyu asked Su Puyan: "Are those two reckless men Yu Fuluo and Tan Shihuai still fighting?"

Su Buyan nodded and replied: "We are still fighting, but there is no progress."

Tadun Shanyu nodded, everything was as he expected.

That’s right, there’s no progress!

If Cao Cao was so unwilling to fight, why would he unite with the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes to attack Youzhou?

If Cao Cao is so unwilling to fight, wouldn't it be better for them, Wuhuan, to send troops by themselves and live alone?

"How are the casualties?" Taton Shanyu continued to ask Su Buyan.

Su Puyan also continued to answer: "I just sent someone to inquire and found that more than 40,000 people were killed or injured."

In this first attack, Xianbei and Xiongnu each sent 50,000 troops to form a 100,000-strong coalition attack.

There are now over 40,000 dead and wounded, which is almost half of the casualties.

In today's first battle, it can be said that the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes suffered heavy casualties.

However, this is good news for Taton Shanyu.

Yu Fuluo and Tan Shihuai are so proud!

Only after they suffer a big loss, fall over, and get their heads bleeding, can they listen to themselves obediently.
