Chapter 7: The Chaotic Drinking Seoul
There was no light in the dark night, and a group of people in black burrowed into the night like swimming fish.
As soon as a group of Huns on night patrol turned the corner, they were pierced into hedgehogs by crossbow arrows fired from nearby rooftops. The leather armor of the knights could not resist the arrows of the iron-tired crossbow, and a dozen or so people fell off their horses without even snorting.
The stinging war horse barked sparsely and ran frantically towards the alley. But when they rushed to the mouth of the alley, they strangely fell to the ground, and some of the horses that rushed in front of them were even in different places.
The severed arteries were bubbling with blood in the night, and the sound was as if a water pipe had been pinched. None of the people survived, and there was a strong smell of blood at the corner of the street. Batu wiped the sweat from his forehead, he really didn't expect that the Hun Jian Ma could accelerate and sprint to such a fast speed in such a short distance.
Seven of the eight blocking wires were actually broken through, looking at the war horse lying in a pool of blood. Batu felt a little pity, these were the best horses.
The villagers came out of the darkness and found the Huns on the ground, whether they were dead or not, and the sabers were stabbed in a mess.
The four hundred men were divided into three teams, and two teams went straight to the tower. A detachment of men rushed to the city gates, following prior reconnaissance. There were only more than 100 defenders in the city tower and the city gate. To deal with such an opponent, dispatch 300 townsmen and 100 Huns, Yun Xiao is bound to kill chickens with a knife.
Two sentry sentries patrolled the city wall with lanterns, and two dark shadows suddenly emerged from the darkness. Before they could shout, their mouths were covered by the people behind them. The sharp dagger stabbed deep into the rib cage. This is what Yun Xiao taught, piercing up through the gap in the third rib. It's sure to pierce the heart. The villagers have become extremely proficient.
The dagger that pierced it slashed left and right twice, and the throats of the two Huns gurgled. With a twist of the wrist, the dagger withdrew a handful of blood and spurted out. The lantern fell to the ground and was quickly engulfed in flames.
Such a scene was staged again and again under the city wall, but it did not attract the attention of the Huns on the city tower. It was too cold, and there were only a few wandering posts on the city walls. The rest of the people are hiding in the arrow tower to roast the fire, who wants to stand outside and be blown by the cold wind on such a cold day.
The mobile outposts on the perimeter had been cleared, and the guards had crept to the bottom of the steps, where seven or eight Huns were holding a bonfire. After a whizzing sound of crossbow strings, seven or eight Huns were shot by more than 100 crossbow arrows. Fallen corpses extinguished the bonfire. The guards pounced on them like wolves.
But there were still Huns who let out the last cry of their lives. Screams pierced the night sky. It sounds like a bobcat with its tail chopped off, and it's terrible to listen to.
The screams alarmed the Huns inside the city gate, and they rushed out with their blades.
Seeing that it had been exposed, Batu waved his hand. More than 20 Huns rushed out and were shot to the ground by a rain of arrows that cut their heads and covered their faces. In the dark. They betrayed them mercilessly with their backs to the campfire. The Huns in the doorway were shot mercilessly like targets. After seeing two rounds of arrows, there was no one standing in the cave of the city gate. Batu drew his saber. After a whistle, the bento rushed in first.
Along the way, he encountered the Huns lying on the ground, and whether he went up at every turn or not, he stabbed them according to the vital point. Not to mention that there are really a few people who are witty and pretend to be dead, and after being slashed by the person who mended the knife, they let out a terrible scream.
Batu rushed into the city gate almost without blood. Then the blazing bonfire found that there were no more Huns standing inside. Hurriedly ordered his subordinates to remove the huge deadbolt and open the city gate to let the Longyou army outside the city rush in.
At this time, there was already a shout of killing on the city tower, and the Huns who heard the screams rushed out with their blades. happened to meet the iron guards who led the villagers to rush up, and the two sides immediately fought together.
The Huns were fierce and aggressive, but the villagers were also well-trained. If the Huns had ridden horses, there should have been no suspense in this battle. However, now it is an infantry battle, and the village warriors have the advantage in numbers and the iron guards with high martial arts to help. The Huns retreated again and again, and there were constant screams in the darkness. There was also the constant sound of the blade being cut off by a saber.
The two guards rushed to the edge of the rope of the suspension bridge first, and the villagers behind them followed. There was a creaking sound, and the gates were opened by Batu's people. Immediately after the suspension bridge was lowered with a bang, the villagers held torches high and kept drawing circles in the air.
In the distance, there was a rumbling sound in the dark night, like the tide of the Qiantang River, which slapped towards the city of Seoul. Batu's people quickly filled the sides of the gate with torches, and then rushed up the walls to support the battle.
Batu carried his saber and slashed in the dark. None of the guys who met him were cut off by the blades of the company, or they were directly cut down by the sharp swords.
A hurried horn sounded in the city of Seoul, and it was in the direction of the city lord's mansion. The sound of the trumpet was urgent, as if urging the soldiers and horses in the city.
Countless torches were suddenly lit in the wilderness on the northeast, north and south sides of the city of Yinhan, and the Huns on the city wall were a little confused. In the past, after they left Lingwu, they had to walk for a day or two to get to Seoul. When did the Han army actually kill the city, weren't they foot soldiers? Why is there such a strong mobility?
A group of soldiers and horses rushed straight down the street to the east gate, but as soon as they approached the city gate, they were overturned by a rain of arrows. One of the hundred cavalry commanders who led the team was shot dead on the spot, and the Huns fired arrows in return. But the arrows couldn't reach the guys on the tower, when the second round of arrows rained down. The narrow road was already full of corpses, and those behind had to step on the corpses of those in front of them before they could rush forward.
A wide carriage rushed into the gate hole, and in the darkness the Huns heard only a howl similar to that of a wild beast. The ground trembled slightly, and they were terrified when they could see the people by the light of the torches. What kind of monster is this, wrapped in iron armor, with a hideous mask on its face. With both hands in wheel, a pair of strangely shaped axes were wielded, and a horse that had lost its owner's control was split in half by the monster's axe.
I don't know what kind of armor this monster is wearing, and I can't shoot through it at such a close distance. The Huns in front of them were in a daze, and the huge monster had already rushed in front of them. With a horizontal axe, the knight on the horse becomes two.
The leather armor on the Huns was cut through like a thin piece of paper in front of the Viking battle axe.
The ferocious bull rushed into the sheepfold like a mad tiger. Frantic biting on a qiē moving object, whether it is a human or a horse, it will be mercilessly split in half.
There was a brute bull in front of him, and the soldiers of Longyou rushed into the city of Drinking Han like a tide. Rushing along the streets and alleys to the City Lord's Mansion, Hou Ye said that whoever rushed into the City Lord's Mansion first could pick the richest family and grab it. Motivated by money, the Longyou soldiers who were about to go crazy broke out with powerful combat effectiveness, and they were no longer afraid in the face of the Huns, who were known for their ferocity.
Everywhere there were people fighting together, and the Longyou men stabbed them with their halberds and hit them with their bodies, and even threw the Huns down under their horses and bit them with their teeth. This group of people is crazy, and they are frantically attacking a living creature in front of them.
The Huns had never encountered such a Han army, and they bared their fangs like mad dogs, tearing apart the people who stopped them or something.
Almost from the outset, the battle became a fierce street fight, with the Huns' spears piercing through the chests of the Longyou soldiers. But I found that I couldn't pull it out, and those who were dead or not dead clung to the shaft of the spear. The others would take advantage of such an opportunity to stab the Huns and their horses to the ground with halberds in their hands.
As soon as the Huns fell off their horses, someone would rush up with red eyes and cut off his head. The last thing many Hun cavalrymen saw in their lives was a pair of green eyes.
The streets of Seoul were filled with the screams of people, the neighing of horses, the shattering of bones and the clashing of blades. Residents were so frightened that they stayed at home and shivered. They didn't understand why the Han army had taken the city so lightly.
A thousand cavalry commanders hurriedly ran into the city lord's mansion, and happened to meet the city lord who had just dressed neatly.
"Lord Castle, it's not good. We were surrounded, the east gate had been lost, and countless Han troops poured in from the east gate. Their combat effectiveness is very strong, and they are not as afraid of death as the border army at all. Now traces of the Han army have been found outside the north gate and south gate, only outside the west gate for the time being. ”
"It's not so good, you just want to run, if you lose this drink in Seoul, how can I explain to Da Danyu. Quickly order the people to retake the East Gate and wipe out these damned Han troops in the city. ”
The lord of the city of Yinhan was obviously overly optimistic in estimating the shape, and he thought that it was only the cavalry of one or two thousand Han troops who rushed in, and wanted to sneak attack and capture the city of Yinhan.
But when he climbed the tallest building in the city, the tower of the Lord's Palace, he knew he was wrong. At this time, the city of Seoul was already in chaos to the extreme, and people were fighting with torches everywhere. The strong impact of the cavalry could not exert the slightest power in the street fighting, and the spirit of these Han troops who rushed in was obviously abnormal.
The men in front were shot down, and before the second arrow could be mounted on the bowstring, the Han soldiers had already rushed to the front. It was too late to draw their swords, and these Han soldiers had already found a way to deal with the Hun cavalry. The halberd never stabbed at the man first, but greeted the mount under the cavalry's crotch.
The aching horses will stand up and knock their owners to the ground, and then run in a panic. The guy who falls to the ground will be stabbed into a sieve by several halberds, and then a madman-like guy will defeat his companion and rush up to cut off his head. (To be continued......)
