Chapter 98: Fighting for the border town [asking for votes]
"These Han people are so treacherous."
It was certain that they were in a deadlock. The Huns panicked and fired back with their bows, but the attack was from a high angle of view and its power was limited.
Although it is a small city, it is located at the border and the city wall is over two feet high.
The Han army blocked the route to the city in advance, making it difficult for them to fight their way up.
Yanqi's face turned pale, and he no longer had the high-spirited and bloodthirsty madness he had just now.
The Qianqi Commander beside him had trembling arms and despairing eyes.
They were not simply afraid, but more deeply felt that it was too frustrating to die like this. They didn't even have a chance to fight, and they were tricked to death, or they died because of their own stupidity.
Whoever set up this situation is missing a great virtue.
"Fight the Han to the death."
The other party took out the black leather bag and was immediately discovered by him.
Seek blood when you strike.
The shouts of killing in the city are so loud, those Han troops may not be able to discover us in time." After saying this, he took a few confidants, concealed his whereabouts, and quietly went up.
He turned around and wanted to rush to the city gate. That was the only hope of escaping and ascending to heaven!
However, the fierce arrows were shot down, and the Huns soldiers were already on their backs.
As soon as Yan Qi opened his mouth, a soldier beside him was shot dead by random arrows, and blood spattered on his face, still a little warm.
His military talisman is the Qianjun Talisman. After being blessed, he is extremely powerful and can defeat Qianjun. It is the exclusive military talisman for fierce generals.
Puff puff puff!
The arrow penetrated the body of the Huns, and blood spattered. The sound of the arrows rubbing against skin, flesh, and bones, the neighing of horses, and the curses and screams of the Huns soldiers were all chaotic.
When the Huns first saw the news of the fire coming, Tian You and others were also confused. Like the Huns, they heard the deafening shouts of killing from a distance in the border city. They thought that their actions were exposed and there was turmoil in the city.
Zhang Cigong gathered his troops, and the energy of the military talisman blessed the sword.
The moon is as cold as water.
In a few breaths, nearly a quarter of the Huns' soldiers and horses were killed by the dense arrows at close range.
Even Wei Qing praised Zhang Cigong for his bravery and considered him a rare brave general.
Tian You thought things through very clearly:
On the top of the city, Zhang Cigong held a big bow in his hand and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at the Xiongnu leader!
However, Zhang Cigong still had some energy left when he struck out with the sword. His free hand punched the hilt of his sword from the side, accurately observing the force of the sword.
Yi Zhixie sent their team deep into the Han territory in order to let them retaliate against the Han people and also conduct a stabbing rear-end raid.
He stepped sideways and avoided the arrows.
The Eight Dukes of Huainan were a strange man under the command of the King of Huainan, capable of both literary and military skills.
The harsh sound of clashing weapons spread through the small town, even covering up the cry of killing.
Zhang Cigong nodded slightly, geared up, and had the urge to jump down and join the battle.
Zhang Cigong's sword suddenly turned and moved lightly, wiping out horizontally!
Historically, when he was involved in the Huainan rebellion because of his affair with Liu Ling, Wei Qing felt pity for his bravery and was not afraid of being implicated. He went to Emperor Wu himself to intercede, saying that he had fought against the Huns for many years and had made many meritorious deeds, and wanted to protect him.
At this time, the Han army's attention at the top of the city was focused on the city. From the perspective of Tian You and others, it seemed that it would not be difficult to get close to the city gate if they covered up and killed them.
All shamanic things require blood sacrifices to open, and at this time, the city is filled with blood.
In battles on the battlefield, life or death can often be determined by just a few moves.
A sharp sword light broke through the void and slashed down with a huge force.
Unfortunately it didn't work out.
The leader of this team is Tian You, one of the Eight Dukes of Huainan.
"Every department..."
The anger and fear in Yanqi's heart almost exploded.
Both of them were not weak in force. The difference was that the Han army had great morale, while the Huns fell into a deadlock and lost their momentum early. There was also a gap in the strength of the troops that the generals could gather, and the blessing they received.
Yanqi shouted loudly, and his only morale must not collapse: "We have reached the territory of the Han people. How can the Great Chanyu not make arrangements? Warriors from all departments, we still have a chance to fight out, follow me."
He has a short build, short beard, and dark complexion.
Yanqi's chest and abdomen were cut open with a knife!
Yanqi, the Xiongnu in charge, had already moved the black leather bag in his hand.
"General, please do not set fire to the city! The Huns have fallen into our plan and have no chance to defeat the rebels. Burning the city is of little use at this time. It is not difficult to repair the parts of the city that were crushed by stone throws. If it is burned, the entire city will be destroyed.
It’s over, it’s our own losses that have increased.” said the Forbidden Army general next to him.
The attacks were staggered, and the sharp sword light illuminated the night sky.
…
Tian Yu is one of them.
Zhang Cigong cut him down with one blow, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
At the head of the city, Zhang Cigong had been fighting with the Huns all year round. He hated them deeply and had a strong murderous intention.
At this moment, the Xiongnu Qianqiu commander not far away also drew his sword and came to assist him, killing Zhang Cigong.
They gave Yanqi a shamanic weapon, which could help him escape if he was trapped and defeat the enemy if he encountered a strong army, so that this elite team could achieve their strategic goals.
The rest found shelter in nearby buildings, but this was obviously not a long-term solution.
The Han army had begun to throw stones from the top of the wall. Some of the weaker walls and roofs collapsed one after another and were on the verge of collapse.
Yanqi's body also lit up with blood-colored shamanic inscriptions, and the scimitar in his hand made no sound, drawing strange arcs, which was exactly the opposite of Zhang Cigong's astonishing momentum.
Then they saw the Huns rushing to attack the small city. Tian You and others followed them from a distance until the Huns entered the city on horseback and the city gate was closed.
"Can you set fire to this small town and burn all the Huns alive?"
"General Tian, what should we do?" a subordinate asked.
Within a few words, the city below was filled with blood and corpses were lying on the ground.
The blade fell, and half of Yanqi's arm, including the skin and flesh, was chopped off.
At this time, Zhang Cigong descended from the sky, took out the Han sword from his waist, and struck it down in the air.
All moves strive to be concise, precise and fast, leaving aside all cumbersome changes.
To this end, Yi Zhixie and Enchi made many targeted arrangements.
what to do?
Tian You's thoughts changed sharply: "This is a small city. The city is short and the gates are thin. We cannot let the Han army trap all the Huns to death."
Zhang Cigong was very ruthless. When the Qianqi Commander came at him with his sword, he just avoided the vital point and allowed his opponent to cut him on his shoulder blade. He also took advantage of the situation and killed Yanqi first!
The battlefield seemed to be quiet for a moment.
As long as this black energy comes out and covers the sky and the sun, it can cover the regrouping of the Huns soldiers, and the power of the black energy should be able to break open the city gate.
Arrows were shot from all directions, making it difficult for the Huns soldiers to find a place to hide.
Yanqi was about to further activate the leather bag, but he didn't want to have a warning sign in his heart, and a sharp arrow suddenly struck.
Click!
The Xiongnu was in charge of Yanqi, and he quickly took out a black leather bag placed close to his body.
Suddenly, a suction force appeared in the bag, and all the blood and gas on the corpse was sucked into the small bag.
Knowing that the Huns would come tonight, there were naturally corresponding arrangements in Huainan. A team of several hundred people penetrated into Beiguan in batches and gathered together.
Yanqi dodged the arrow and felt a real murderous aura approaching him.
Yanqi picked up the body of a Hun soldier who had been shot and put it close to the leather bag.
He immediately shouted wildly, jumped from the wall, landed on the top of a building in the city, ran quickly, and rushed straight to kill Yanqi.
Yanqi fell to the ground with a bang, and the black leather bag in his hand also fell to the ground.
Yanqi was preparing to use the means of suppressing the situation to see if he could lead his army to break through the city.
"As long as a few people sneak past and get close, I can break down the door without having to fight with the Han army.
In the situation in front of us, we could not even arrange our troops in formation, and the combat effectiveness of the Huns' troops could not be fully utilized.
The city was filled with the sound of bowstrings buzzing.
Tian You is the leader.
"Right now, is it more important to rescue these Xiongnu soldiers and create chaos in Beiguan, or is it more important to continue hiding? Once the Han army has wiped out the Xiongnu soldiers and thoroughly investigated Beiguan, how long do you think we can hide?"
The King of Huainan and the Xiongnu jointly conspired and sent people to Beiguan to act.
"But your Majesty asked us to hide our identities. If we rush out, wouldn't it arouse suspicion? What's the use of rushing over?"
When he turned around to look, he saw a figure flying over.
The deputy next to him was a thin middle-aged man who was a little hesitant.
Within the city.
Tian You and others also realized that it was an ambush by the Han army!
Outside the city, the Huns were lured into the city and fell into a deadlock, while Han troops were standing on top of the city. These changes were witnessed by another team hiding behind a hill several hundred feet away from the side of the city.
Then the pocket bulged, and a puff of black air was about to come out.
This sword moves like a horse flying in the air, with no trace of its trajectory and extremely fast speed.
There was a gash on Zhang Cigong's shoulder blade, and his skin was turned out. But he didn't care, and swung his knife to kill Qianqi Commander not far away.
Border towns do not allow buildings within the city to be taller than the city walls, lest they be taken advantage of by interested people.
Dang! Dang!
Yanqi didn't have time to move the black leather bag and drew his knife to block.
The sharp sound is ear-piercing.
In a desperate situation, Yanqi was also beheaded on the spot, and the eyes of the Qianqi Commander were completely despairing.
The same goes for other Huns soldiers, with no morale at all.
By this time, this Xiongnu tribe had no chance.
