Chapter 895: Bloody Battle at the Head of the City
The siege began in the second half of the night.
The Huns, bewitched by the Subu bones, began to attack frantically, and they had only one thought in their hearts, and that was to kill these Han people.
The water gave the Huns convenience, they did not have to fill the moat, directly on the high post, take a raft down, you can reach the half waist of the city, and then climb up with a rope, greatly reducing the difficulty of attacking the city.
The rain was pouring down, the bow and crossbow gunpowder could not be used, and the attacking and defending sides could only use the most primitive methods of hand-to-hand combat.
The stone-throwing carts on the head of the city roared angrily, constantly throwing heavy stones, and many Hun rafts were overturned, but the Huns who fell into the water soon made a comeback with the help of others.
The flood reduced the risk of their death.
The Huns were in high spirits, and they captured the urn city on all sides one after another, and built a ladder under the urn city, and the city was in danger for a while.
Gao Shun stood at the head of the city, letting the rain wash over his body.
Behind him stood a group of hoplites, the elite trap of the Breakers.
Everyone stood straight, like a benchmark.
Although there are only more than 1,000 people, there is indeed a faint sense of slaughter.
"Report, general, the Huns have taken the city of urns on all sides, and our army is not well guarded, and it has retreated to the city."
A warrior from the Broken Army came to Gao Shun.
Revisit!
Gao Shun said lightly.
The role of the urn city is to guard the main city and protect the defense line of the moat. Now that the flood has spread to half of the city, the moat and the outer defense line have no effect, and Gao Shun's troops left behind in the urn city are only 4,000 people, and they are not equipped with any heavy weapons and firearms, and it is normal for them to be captured by the Huns.
Report!
Another Breaker came to Gao Shun's face.
"General, the urn city has all been lost, our people have retreated to the city, and the guards of the four cities are already in full array."
Very good!
Gao Shun nodded slowly.
Now, there is no point in holding on to the urn city.
The battle of the castle is the main thing.
Command!
Gao Shun took a deep breath and said word by word: "General Simen, fight back with all your might, and you must annihilate the invading enemy." ”
This battle is related to the fate of Yunzhou, and he will definitely go all out.
Promise!
Everyone answered in unison!
Above the four gates, the generals of the Breaker Army were in a tight formation, and the swordsmen, shields, and pikemen formed a formation. In front of them, there were four small bastions, which were specially prepared for artillery.
There were several gunners in each bunker, and the bronze cannon of Yunzhou's big killer was located in it.
It is also the only firearm that can be used in heavy rain.
At this time, the Huns also captured four urn cities at the cost of a thousand people. At least 10,000 Xiongnu warriors gathered on the Urn City.
"Take the city of Lunu and get away with it for three days!"
One of the captains drew his scimitar and ordered.
Roar!
The Huns replied in unison.
Everyone's eyes were full of blood.
Burning, killing, looting is the biggest thrill for them.
Kill!
The siege of the Huns began exactly.
Fire!
Zhao Dazhui waved the order flag.
Commanding the artillery on four guns, the bombardment of the enemy began.
The artillery began to wield, and in an instant the unstoppable Huns were blown to pieces.
The Huns did not expect that the Han people would still be able to use firearms on a heavy rainy day, and they were caught off guard for a while.
However, the head of the ten thousand households who commanded the battle was in a hurry, and he asked people to transform the raft into a large wooden shield, and more than a dozen people climbed the city with the wooden shield.
Although the artillery scattering power is large, it cannot move flexibly and can only bombard a fixed angle.
At the cost of wooden shields and the lives of 2,000 soldiers, the Huns finally attacked the city.
Attack!
General Simen drew his long knife and led the team to rush forward.
The two sides began to scuffle.
The Huns have gone crazy, and after holding their breath during this time, they have easily had a chance to vent, and their combat effectiveness is more than twice that of the usual.
The Broken Army was also the elite of Yunzhou, and the two sides suddenly fell into a bitter battle.
……
On the high post, Su Bugu watched all this with satisfaction.
As long as the Huns can continue this ruthlessness, the victory in this battle will inevitably belong to him.
"Come on, build a bridge, order the golden wolf to ride up, this king will personally take down Lunu City, and slash Guo Jia."
Xu Bugu swore solemnly.
After capturing the city of Weng, the Huns began to disassemble the raft and prepare to build a bridge and transport the cavalry up.
The city of Lunu was tall and wide, and the city walls could accommodate six horses in parallel, so it gave the Huns an opportunity.
As soon as the light cavalry of the Huns went up, the war turned into a massacre.
Soon, the three thousand golden wolf cavalry of the Huns were ready.
These men were clad in thick leather armor, iron helmets, and golden cloaks.
On the grassland, the Huns all knew that there was a golden wolf legion in the Beard Bone.
The Golden Wolf Legion is the killer weapon of the Mustu Bone.
It's easy not to go out, once you attack, you will be invincible.
The Golden Wolf Cavalry were all young men selected from hundreds of thousands of Huns.
The selection process is extremely strict, each person can lift a weight of five hundred catties, and can pull a two-stone strong bow on a horse. Archery should be able to hit the bullseye at a distance of 100 paces. Must not be more than thirty-five years of age.
Those who can pass the selection are the elite of the elite.
Su Bugu intends to let the Golden Wolf Cavalry enter, which means that the most critical node of the battle has arrived.
Soon, under the frantic attack of the Huns, the wall of the south gate was opened.
The Golden Wolf Cavalry has finally appeared.
As soon as the army reached the top of the city, it scattered to the right and shot feathered arrows.
Their bows and crossbows are specially made, and their arrows are heavy, which can also be useful in rainy days.
Defend the city!
The guards at the south gate of the Broken Army shouted loudly.
He never thought that the enemy would actually send the cavalry up, nor did he expect that these cavalry would be able to use bows and crossbows on a rainy day, let alone that these cavalry would be able to gallop left and right on the narrow city wall, as if they were in a no-man's land, and their riding skills could no longer be described as exquisite.
Sou!
A feathered arrow pierced the night sky and struck the general.
Protect the General!
Two soldiers with shields in front of them.
Bang!
The long arrow pierced through the shield, and the aftermath weakened, and then pierced through the general.
This long arrow is made of fine iron, and ordinary shields can't resist it.
The general was stunned, as if he couldn't believe what was in front of him.
After a long time, he shouted and fell to the ground and died.
On the other side, Su Bugu put down his thick longbow and sneered: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
Being able to stand tall in the grassland, Su Bugu is naturally not an ordinary person.
He was also the only one among the Huns who could draw a three-stone longbow on a horse, and was called the Tiger King by the Huns when he was a teenager. His bows and arrows were specially made.
