Chapter 61: Digging the Foot of the Wall

Su Wu shot his last crossbow arrow, and then joined forces with his own soldiers to pick up a push rod and overturn a ladder. Before he could catch his breath, the fierce wolf's tooth arrow pierced the guard's head.

One rolled forward and picked up a shield on the ground. Standing on the opening of the city wall, he took out the flask from his bosom and poured a large sip. Only the pungency of the liquor can relieve the pain at this time.

The sky was full of arrows, and the Huns went crazy. This small border city has been attacking for a whole day, and Da Shan Yu's Daxu is almost visible. It hadn't been taken yet, and there were corpses lined up in the snow under the city walls. There were hundreds of corpses, and King Amu and Huqiang gritted their teeth and vowed to slaughter everyone in Wangping City after the city was broken.

Su Wu poured a big sip of liquor and exhaled a heavy sip of wine. I've forgotten the first few sieges of the city today, and it hasn't been broken since morning anyway.

The guard died miserably, a wolf tooth piercing through his eyes. Pierced out of the back of his head, and was still twitching on the ground just now. Now that he was motionless, Su Wu didn't have time to pay attention to the fact that there were many corpses like him on the city wall. No one had time to pay attention to them, and only in the evening when the Huns withdrew did the people come up to collect the bones. It may not make it into the night, it's really an unknown.

Su Wu's luck was good, these Hun eagle archers had been looking for trouble with the soldiers in the city. Fortunately, his armor was inconspicuous, otherwise he would have been shot like this guard.

The Han people's bows and crossbows had a limited range and could not deal with the Huns' condor archers. There are a hundred soldiers killed by the Condor Shooters these days. But the Han army on the city wall had nothing to do with them, and this was not a masonry city wall in the tube. The three-zhang high earthen wall is not an obstacle in the eyes of the condor archer.

I didn't have time to sigh here, grabbed a halberd and stabbed it at a person who had just climbed up. The Huns, whose feet were still on the ladder, pierced his chest with a halberd. Su Wu wrestled with his arms and stabbed this guy hard. I'd rather die than give in. Grabbing Su Wu's halberd with both hands, he took it to the outside of the city.

"Woo" "Woo" "Woo" ......! There was a horn in the Huns' military array, and Su Wu could understand the three trombones. This was a signal for the retreat of the Hun army, and sure enough, once again the Huns who met head-on and left the bodies of their companions to retreat.

began to repel the attack of the Huns, and the Han army would also cheer. But now no one cheered, and no one shouted and cursed. Everyone sat on the ground and poured their breath, and some guys grabbed steamed buns from their arms with hands covered with dirt and blood and filled them into their mouths.

The siege began early in the morning. Steaming pork stew with dried vegetables didn't have time to eat. Now it's frozen, and the cook has heated it eight times. But it was always just brought up, and the Hun attack began.

Su Wu just wanted to lie on the ground and sleep for a while, even though it was freezing here. But he didn't care, he just wanted to sleep for a while, even if it was only time for a cup of tea.

Ke Xingshì is stronger than people, and he is the supreme commander here. At this time, he must do his thing.

"The whole team counts! If your mouth is broken, let the person next to you help report it. Su Wu stood on a high place and shouted.

There were a hundred men on the north wall, and two hundred men with him. When the count was reported last night, there were more than 140 people. But it's only been half the morning today. When the number reached sixty, there was no sound.

"Life and death are common!" These are the words of the veteran in his father's barracks, the Northern Army is the most capable army of the Han Army. Except, of course, for the Yun family's group of perverts. Su Wu remembered that the old guy's hair was gray. The person who should report his grandson still holds a knife to make a living with a white knife and a red knife. He said this as casually as if he were eating and sleeping. It's as plain as the surface of the water in a well.

A is running up with a group of people, and this time the cook finds the right time. Steaming stew with dried vegetables and a thick layer of grease hanging on the sides of the pot. The big steamed bun with fine white noodles is the size of a bowl.

There is no limit to one bowl per person, as long as you can eat it openly, you can eat it as long as you can. A group of unkempt men grabbed the steamed buns and stuffed them into their mouths, we Han people are atmospheric and never make trouble for Lord Yama. Even if you want to die, you have to be a full ghost.

There was a lot of food in the city until the next summer, and at this time Su Wu ordered the supply to be opened. Anyway, if the city is broken. It can only be left to the Huns. He knew he was finished. There will be no reinforcements, and there will be no one to save themselves. That damn sentry had delayed time, and Wangping City didn't send a messenger for help. And according to the usual practice, on this day of heavy snow fans, no one risked their lives to inspect Wangping.

The men carried the corpses of the soldiers down one by one. Many young men silently untied the armor of the Han army. Wear it on yourself, pick up the sword you carry, and join the gluttonous ranks.

There were too few people to stand this section of the city wall, so Su Wu had no choice but to temporarily recruit the people to join the army. Defending their homeland, the Huns died many of these. After the city is broken, the city will be slaughtered, and they will all be plugged into chaos. The inhabitants of this place knew the rules of the Huns.

Two steamed buns and a bowl full of dried vegetable stew were sent to Su Wu. The space inside the bowl is used to the extreme. The piece of pork belly buckled on top trembled, and the sparkling oil flowers reflected the sun's rays. Just looking at it makes people want to move their appetites.

He looked at the person who handed the bowl with his outstretched hand, and he didn't know it. There was still a fluff on his green lips, and he looked like he was only fifteen years old at most. He was dressed crookedly in a Han armor, and his helmet was obviously one size bigger, so he needed to hold it with his hands so as not to cover his eyes.

Only then did Su Wu notice that Xiao Jian, who was shot dead just now, was his last guard. The people brought by the old family were all dead, and a gloomy feeling filled Su Wu's heart. Just last night, he also said that he would definitely be promoted when he went back this time, and the court would reward him. He took the scourge to the most famous Lichun Courtyard in Chang'an for a day, and the girl had to go to two, one to wash her feet and the other...... Whack the back!

The little guy didn't seem to understand why his captain would cry when he saw the big bowl of meat, anyway, the military master said that as long as he wore this gown, he could eat meat. Just now he quietly ate a piece, and the pork with five flowers was stewed crispy, and it literally melted in his mouth. Dried vegetables absorb the fat and are simply a rare delicacy in the world.

"Lord Captain, take a bite of the Huns and come up in a while. This is the new pro-soldier that his subordinates have found for you, and his name is Erdan, who is quite clever. The sentry commander on the side comforted the young lieutenant.

Smart, Su Wu almost laughed out loud. Those who dare to put on armor at this time are complete fools. What clever guy would come up and send him to death at this moment.

"My lord, I've tasted it. The meat is sloppy, but it's delicious. Erdan said in Chinese with a thick accent.

Su Wu knew that the little guy was a little cramped, and he was also the captain here. The highest military and political commander of Wangping City, such a small guy stood in front of him. The psychological pressure is still quite high.

Shouting tears and snoring eating meat and steamed buns, I don't know how these things got into my mouth. The mouth is just filled and swallowed, swallowed and filled again, and repeats mechanically. There were tears constantly flowing out of my eyes, and I didn't know if it was choking or if the wind and sand were too strong......

The Hun army on the opposite side suddenly remembered the sound of the horn, three long and two short. This is an unlucky number, I really don't know why the Huns used this trumpet as a signal for attack.

"Fuck, the fucking Huns don't eat!" The veterans complained, and quickly pulled the meat in their hands into their mouths in a few bites. Until the capacity of the mouth is at its limit, then he pushes the pottery bowl in his hand and runs to the battlement he guards.

The Huns who came up this time were very brave, and they were shirtless in the weather when the water was dripping into ice. With huge axes in their hands and heavy shields, they roared and rushed towards the not tall Wangping City.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the men were running a hundred paces away, he ordered the crossbowmen to release their arrows.

The arrows drifted down sparsely, and the crossbowmen of the two days of battle were the key objects of the Hun archers. They were the ones who suffered the heaviest casualties, and the newcomers were untrained. Accuracy is a problem, and in fact they can shoot arrows in the right direction.

With only a few powerful crossbow arrows nailed to their heavy shields, the Huns easily navigated the most dangerous areas with almost no injuries.

The Condor Archers were already following unhurriedly, hunting their prey with the most delicate and fierce shots. Now the Han army is far less easy to kill than yesterday, and these guys have learned well. They all hid behind battlements, or in corners of the walls that could not be shot.

Su Wu looked a little anxious, it was over. This is over, if the bow and crossbow can't exert its due power, I'm afraid this Wangping City won't last until it gets dark.

"Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!" …… A palpitating sound came up from under the city wall, and Su Wu's face turned white all of a sudden.

"Ahh A guy who looked down was shot through the chest by the Condor Archer, lost his balance and fell into the city. Several Huns rushed up, and in just two rounds of swords and axes, they were chopped into eighteen pieces.

Cover your head and chest with a shield, ignoring the sound of "pop" and "pop" from the shield. Su Wu leaned out, only to see the shirtless Huns in pairs. One was holding a large shield, and the other was in the middle of a giant axe that frantically gouged the city walls. The rammed earth, which was frozen hard, fell down with a crackle. There is already a large handful of loess under the feet of the fast hands.

Su Wu's eyes widened, and now it was completely out of play. The Huns did not intend to attack the city, but to demolish it. The big axe chopped on the city wall "Wow! "Wow!" The sound seems to chop in people's hearts one by one, and every time it makes people feel suffocated.

"The Huns are digging the city walls!" I don't know who broke the tone and shouted. (To be continued......)
