"Haha, we are all His Majesty's soldiers, we don't need to be so polite." Li Chuxiang was in a good mood at this time. He wanted to go to the battlefield to prove himself and the strength of Canglang Camp. Because of his relationship with Tang Qinglan
, which makes everything he does much smoother, but he also has to bear the burden of using a woman to gain power. Now that he can finally prove his ability on his own, he must and will definitely grasp it.
When Li Chuxiang got the news of the Huns' invasion here, he also got the news in Wangcheng. Some soldiers in the city began to make preparations overnight, such as sleepers, kerosene, bows and arrows, stones, etc. were moved in
On top of the city tower, to ensure that even if the Xiongnu army came, they would not be able to easily break through the city in a short period of time.
As long as they can hold on for a while, the nearby Canglang Battalion will take action, and it's time for them to win.
The Chinese army was well prepared, just waiting for the enemy to appear. Sixty thousand Huns cavalry were also on their way in the dark night.
A distance of one hundred and twenty miles, they will appear in front of Wangcheng City on time at dawn. Many Huns cavalry can't wait to think about how panic and fear the Chinese will be once they find out that they are approaching the city.
.
The raging and lack of opponents in the south made the Huns cavalry become arrogant. Often, as soon as their army appeared anywhere, even the city did not need to be attacked, and the people there would open the city gate as if they were afraid of death.
Let them snatch it away.
Although the cities of the Dahua Army are different from those in the Southland, they are all Laogan people, just a group of grazing sheep. What tricks can they do in front of a pack of wolves, which are mainly carnivorous animals?
Can't it?
With this kind of arrogance, or the will to win, the 60,000 Huns cavalry did not take the attack on Wangcheng seriously at all, and they did not know that behind them, a military coup had already occurred in the Huns camp.
, even their king has become a man who is not a real man.
It was getting brighter, and the vanguard of the 60,000 Huns cavalry could already see the outline of Wangcheng from a distance. Soon after, news came back from the front, saying that Wangcheng had been aware of their arrival, but had not surrendered.
The meaning of city gate is to defend against the city.
"Defending the city, they really don't want to live anymore." After hearing this, Hu Yantong, the Hun prince, had a trace of disdain on his face. Don't think that the Hun cavalry will only fight immediately. This time when they were fighting in the south,
They also deliberately practiced siege tactics. Facts have proved that they are cavalry when mounted and infantry when dismounted, and they are also good at siege.
"Yes, the Chinese actually resisted. It seems that they still don't know how powerful we are. Prince Tong, I feel that after we captured Wangcheng, it is necessary to kill here to warn other cities that they dare to fight with us.
What will happen if we go against each other?" Bu Xian, the core figure of the Bu family, said angrily after hearing this.
"Okay. Let's do as Mr. Bu said, General Qi, did you hear clearly?" Hu Yantong nodded. He also felt that he should show the Chinese how powerful they were. Otherwise, which city would they attack in the future?
At any time, they would encounter desperate resistance, which would greatly weaken the Xiongnu's strength.
"No." Qi Huai nodded in agreement, and then began to prepare for war. Under his arrangement, he used 20,000 cavalry to attack the city, and 40,000 cavalry to guard the outside to prevent any Dahua reinforcements from appearing.
.
The siege forces were divided into two thousand cavalry outside each of the three cities in the north, west, and east to contain the Chinese troops defending the city during the feint attack. The remaining 16,000 cavalry mainly attacked the south city, preparing to break through into the city from here.
They knew they were going to attack the city before they came this time. The Huns also prepared some first-generation sky thunders. Although their power was limited, with a large number, there was no problem in blowing open the wooden city gates. Looking at these preparations, Hu Yantong
He Bu Xian and others all burst out laughing. They were so well prepared that they really couldn't see any chance for the Great Chinese Army.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
The Xiongnu army was steadfast in their oath and full of confidence. The Chinese army defending the city was also high in fighting spirit.
They knew that Canglang Camp was nearby. Although due to military confidentiality regulations, the soldiers and civilians in the city did not know the existence of Jianzui Cliff, but before dawn, they received news that Canglang Camp was
They have already arrived and formed an encirclement around the Huns. The soldiers and civilians in the city must hold on and buy enough time to defeat the Huns cavalry army.
After receiving this news, the soldiers and civilians defending the city saw hope and became even more confident in defending the city.
Up and down the city, both sides were in a state of full confidence. When it was completely bright and the time came in the morning, the offensive and defensive battle officially began.
The Huns soldiers moved from horse to foot, shouting slogans that the Chinese defenders could not understand, and rushed towards them. A small group of them carried Yi Tianlei and went straight to the south city gate. Obviously they wanted to go directly to the south city gate.
Blast open the city gate and rush into the city.
"Fire arrows!" The Wangcheng soldiers and civilians on the tower had eaten breakfast one by one, and their bodies were full of strength. It was the time when their fighting spirit was high.
Although people may die in fighting, they have no choice. Once the Huns really rush into the city, their families in the city will be humiliated, and all their property will be robbed by the Huns.
.
For all this and to protect the safety of their families, they can only fight, and they must fight.
After giving the order, countless bows and arrows fell from the tower, like rain.
Although the defenders of the city were either government soldiers or young and strong men in the city, their bow shooting skills were very limited, and their accuracy was much worse than that of the regular army. But there were so many of them, there were tens of thousands of archers on the city tower firing arrows at the same time.
, that dense rain of arrows can even hit a few dead mice. Immediately, after a burst of arrow rain fell, hundreds of Xiongnu were either dead or injured.
Especially those Xiongnu soldiers who rushed towards the south city gate with thunder in their arms became the focus of attention. Most of them fell to the ground covered with arrows before they could rush to the city gate.
On the ground.
"Bastard, send more people up." Qi Huai saw this scene on horseback and looked very angry. These are real Huns warriors. Without the base camp, it can be said that every one who dies is one less.
Yeah. Losing anyone is heartbreaking enough.
And how could he not be angry when hundreds of people were suddenly missing? He had already thought that once the city gate was blown open, he would personally lead the cavalry into the city and have a bloodbath in Wangcheng. He wanted to
I would like to take this opportunity to tell all the Chinese and nearby cities that they must not resist the Huns in the future, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
Following the order, dozens more Huns soldiers ran over, took the Heavenly Thunder from the hands of their comrades who had been shot to death by bows and arrows, and continued running towards the south city gate.
After more than a dozen people were shot to death, the remaining Huns soldiers finally arrived in front of the city gate, and then turned around and ran away after triggering a generation of thunder. Other Huns soldiers retreated with them, seemingly out of fear.
One step at night, once the sky thunder explodes it will hurt them.
Nearly a thousand corpses were thrown away in one attack, just to cover the explosion of the city gate. Although this result made Qi Huai a little heartbroken, as long as he could enter the city, everything was worth it.
Boom! Boom!
Just when the Huns army had just retreated, and some people had not yet completely returned, deafening explosions were heard one after another, and the wooden south gate of Wangcheng was also blown open in the explosion.
, and then fell apart and became dilapidated.
"Hahaha...uh!" Qi Huai, who was riding on the war horse, just laughed a few times, and then he froze on the horse. At this moment, he really couldn't believe what he saw in front of him.
The wooden city gate was indeed blown open, but what is unimaginable is that it is not an empty city gate inside, but a dark iron gate appears in sight, becoming an obstacle to the army.
The biggest obstacle to entering the city is the city gate.
There was actually a city gate, and it was made of iron. This change fell into Qi Huai's eyes. He was surprised at first, and then became furious. He said how could these big Chinese people dare to resist the city and defend it? He had been prepared for it.
ah.
But in this way, it has become unrealistic to enter the city through the city gate. The iron gate, not to mention the generation of sky thunder, even the fourth and fifth generations of the current Dahua Army, cannot even think of it in a short time.
Exploded.
Having no choice but to attack the city gate, we can only place our hope on attacking the city tower. Fortunately, we have made some preparations before and brought a lot of iron shields. Now is the time to put them to use.
"The shield soldiers opened the way, followed by the archers, and the others attacked the city last." Qi Huai was indeed one of the three generals of the Huyan clan. He quickly adjusted his combat methods. A large number of Xiongnu troops began to gather, and there were many others.
I took out the folding ladder.
This type of folding ladder was first developed by the Jizhou Firearms Bureau for the sake of portability, but because the technical requirements were not high, it was eventually copied by other forces. However, compared to the ladders produced by those forces, the ladders produced by the Great China Army
Not only is it not that strong, but it is also much shorter. But it is still enough for a medium-sized city like Siege City.
The Xiongnu army under the city was ready to attack, and the Dahua soldiers and civilians on the city also replenished the bows and arrows they had just shot, and put the burning kerosene between the battlements, ready to be used at any time. Not only that, some shields were also fired from
They were taken from the armory in the city and given to the soldiers and civilians defending the city.
While distributing the items, the commander of the Fubing Battalion in charge said aloud, "Everyone should be more careful in a moment. The Huns are very good at bows and arrows. You must protect yourself and don't show your head."
