Chapter 89 Dark Clouds Overwhelm the City Goddess Suzhen
Chapter 89: Dark clouds overwhelm the city goddess Suzhen
Yanmen Pass, above the city tower.
Qin Liangyu held the city wall with his hands and looked out of the city tower with a solemn face. He was about to launch the next attack. The Huns army was like a tidal wave. He murmured: "
Black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it, and the armor's light is shining towards the golden scales of the sun.
The sound of the trumpet fills the autumn sky, stuffed with swallow fat and the night is purple.
A half-rolled red flag stands near the Yishui River, and the sound of heavy frost and cold drums cannot be heard.
I will repay you on the golden platform and support the Jade Dragon to die for you!"
This song "The Journey of the Governor of Yanmen" was written by his younger brother Qin Hao when he returned to Yanmen a year ago and happened to encounter the Huns soldiers at Yanmen Pass.
Because this poem's description of the border war is a classic, it was sung in all directions as soon as it was published, and there were constant discussions and disputes in various states and counties.
Of course, in poetry, the most controversial thing is the definition of "jun" in the poem.
Some people say it is a king, while others say the "jun" refers to Qin Wen. However, the creator Qin Hao has never come forward to explain the discussions.
At this moment, the situation at Yanmen Pass is once again like what Qin Hao said in "Yanmen Prefect's Journey". The Huns are aggressive and Qin Liangyu vows to defend the pass to the death in order not to betray his brother's trust.
"Brother, if you don't come back with reinforcements, my sister will really be unable to hold on!" Qin Liangyu muttered to herself tiredly.
It has been a month since Qin Hao left. During this month, Qin Liang's jade armor has never left his body to personally defend the city, which greatly stimulated the morale of the Yanmen Pass defenders.
Under the command of Qin Liangyu, the Yanmen Pass defenders achieved great results in the past month, killing 12,000 enemies, but they also suffered more than 3,000 casualties. Today, the Yanmen Pass defenders only have more than 6,000 soldiers.
Although the casualty ratio of one to four is very high, it is not Qin Liangyu's best result. In the first half month, Qin Liangyu once relied on his excellent command ability to control the casualties to one to six, or even one to one.
7.
However, the appearance of a person changed this great situation, and this person was Temujin!
Half a month ago, the Xiongnu Chanyu Yuvluo appointed his younger brother Temujin as the commander-in-chief of the siege. As soon as Temujin took office, he immediately changed the previous rigid siege model.
While stopping to rest and build siege equipment, they also adopted the strategy of exhausting their troops and constantly harassed the Yanmen Pass defenders to tire them out and break their will.
However, although Temujin's plan was good, it was cleverly resolved by Qin Liangyu's method of taking turns to defend the city.
After that, Temujin used the method of continuous harassment by the sun and the moon to attack the city, while Qin Liangyu resisted tenaciously. Although Yanmen Pass is now defended, the casualties are increasing.
Qin Liangyu tried his best to reduce the casualties. Although there are more than 6,000 soldiers left in Yanmen Pass, they are all exhausted. The reason why they are holding on until now is entirely because of their will.
The eldest lady is still insisting, how can we men give up so easily! Staring at the heroine in blood armor on the tower, all the soldiers in Yanmen Pass thought this way.
Qin Liangyu didn't even know that her performance in the past month had completely conquered all the soldiers. That beautiful figure wielding the sword and constantly killing the enemy would forever be imprinted in the hearts of all the soldiers, turning into the most holy goddess deep in their hearts.
.
We will protect the eldest lady to the death and never let her get hurt at all! All the soldiers roared in their hearts.
Qin Liangyu is the motivation for all soldiers to persevere.
In front of the Xiongnu army formation.
The young and unruly Temujin holds a scimitar, a maroon horse under his crotch, and is dressed in silver armor, but his eyes have always stayed on the beautiful figure on the tower.
After a long time, a trace of tenderness flashed across Temujin's resolute face, and he said with a faint smile: "Qin Suzhen is worthy of being the eldest daughter of Qin Wen. She is a woman who is not inferior to men. I like her!"
Suzhen is Qin Liangyu's cousin. Women from ordinary people's families naturally don't know how to choose it, but women from wealthy families usually choose it. For example, Cai Yan's nickname is Zhaoji.
However, women are usually called by their cousins by those who have a very close relationship. As a foreigner, Temujin calls Qin Liangyu by his cousin. Admiration is on the one hand, being thick-skinned is on the other, but the most important thing is
Temujin thought he was sure to defeat Qin Liangyu.
Although there are more than 6,000 defenders at Yanmen Pass today, they are all exhausted. Yanmen Pass is on the verge of collapse and is easily accessible to Temujin.
Once Yanmen Pass is breached, Qin Liangyu will be his Temujin woman whether he likes it or not. The Huns have always conquered women physically, so they are so barbaric.
"Only such a strange woman is worthy of you, King Youxian. Mu Lihua will capture this girl alive for King Youxian!"
Mu Lihua, who was born as a slave, knew the art of flattery best. After hearing what Temujin said, he immediately stood up, showing his loyalty and flattering Temujin at the same time!
When Temujin heard this, he immediately laughed and shouted: "Break Yanmen Pass and capture Qin Liangyu alive!"
"Break Yanmen Pass and capture Qin Liangyu alive!" Tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers shouted together.
……
Following Temujin's order, Mu Lihua immediately led a thousand cavalrymen to get on their horses and get out of the way, allowing the siege troops behind to push tall well rails, heavy siege vehicles, and ladders.
Siege engines passed in front of them.
The well tower has the same height as the city wall, and archers stand on it. It is used to cover the troops climbing the city wall during the siege, and to shoot at the enemy troops in the city. It can be regarded as a kind of mobile archery tower.
The city ramming cart is a huge log, controlled by a simple mechanism on the wooden cart, and is used to break down the city gate.
In the past, the Xiongnu's siege mode was basically to attack the city with ladders and then use bows and arrows to suppress it. There was no such siege weapon as the well ram ram.
After Temujin came, he immediately imitated the Han people and made crude wells and city-carving vehicles.
Although the well lanterns made by the Xiongnu were crude, they could still shoot bows and arrows into Yanmen Pass, so they caused great casualties to the Yanmen Pass defenders.
The city ramming vehicle was even more rudimentary. It was just a dozen soldiers carrying huge logs and hitting the city gate. The city gate of Yanmen Pass was made of fine iron, so such a collision would have basically no effect.
Three thousand Hun cavalry dismounted and rushed to the front with shields held up, followed closely by another five hundred people carrying ladders. An echelon of three thousand five hundred people passed quickly, followed by hundreds of people pushing tall and tall people.
The cumbersome well gates and siege engines are approaching Yanmen Pass step by step.
Pushed by the Xiongnu warriors, Jinglan and the siege vehicles once again began to approach the city wall step by step. A thousand infantrymen holding shields, suppressed by the arrows of the Yanmen Army, barely rushed to the city wall and attacked the city wall.
All the arrows fired from the city were blocked.
Seeing this, the Yanmen defenders immediately changed their strategy and used bows and arrows to shoot at the charging infantry. Some other city defenders threw many large stones from the city wall, smashing the Hun shield soldiers beside the city wall to death.
Less.
As soon as the Xiongnu ladder was set up, it was pushed down by the Yanmen army or smashed to pieces with stones.
