Chapter 37: Breaking the Barrier
There is a ready-made beacon tower at the head of Wuquan City, and when the torches are dropped, the billowing wolf smoke rises.
Su Jian's eyes were about to crack when he saw it on the Great Wall, and Wuquan City was not only a place for the army to hoard military supplies. It is also the living residence of the family of the defenders of the Great Wall, and these garrison officers on the Great Wall have been on the border for many years. They have moved their families to the Great Wall in order to reunite day by day. In order to calm the morale of the army, the imperial court also gave many cares.
But now, the family has fallen into the hands of the rebels. The defenders of the Great Wall could not be chaotic, and some petty officers looked at the wolf smoke at the head of Wuquan City, and immediately rushed back with their swords. Rescue the family from the Hun rebels. For a while, the whole Great Wall was in chaos. The officers and the soldiers were about to go down to the city.
"No chaos, no chaos!" Su Jian brandished his sword and roared. The soldiers each stopped in front of the road with their swords before they could hold down the mounds.
"General, our son, mother, daughter-in-law and baby are all in the city. Now that Zhao Xin's son of a bitch is raising the opposite, you can't stop us! If it's too late, Zhao Xin's bastard might do something. A petty officer said with tears in his voice.
"It is the duty of a warrior to protect the family and defend the country! Inevitably, we will wait thousands of miles to go to the machine. In this extraordinary time, extraordinary things must be done. Zhao Xin is reversed, we must stick to the pass. If we can't hold it, the hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves-like Hun army on the opposite side will rush in.
At that time, it was not only dangerous in Wuquan, but also dangerous in the clouds. Even the entire annexed state of Shuofang will fall under the iron hooves of the Xiongnu. Hundreds of thousands of people will be devastated, and hundreds of thousands of our people will suffer a catastrophe. Think of the evil deeds of the Huns, brethren. We have parents, wives and children, but we are warriors.
We don't work like peasants, and we don't make profits like merchants. Our duty is to guard the territory of the Han Dynasty and the thousands of Han people. They pay taxes to feed us. In such a difficult situation, you abandon your responsibilities and ignore everyone and only care about your small family. How do you go up to the heavens, and how do you go down to the people? ”
"General, we all understand what you say. Can...... That's our loved ones. ”
"Woo" "Woo" As soon as a sentry commander said a word, a high-spirited horn sounded on the opposite side, and Zhongxing Yue saw that Tian Rong actually persuaded the Han army to surrender. Immediately happily reported to Yi Zhi.
"Big Order, that's great. That's great! Tian Rong persuaded the Han army to surrender to Cheng, apparently having already occupied Wuquan. Please send troops immediately, and we will attack back and forth. It is inevitable that Wuquan Pass can be breached, and the door in the clouds will be open to us. Zhongxingyue was so excited that he couldn't speak, and in front of this Wuquan Pass, the Huns had already thrown down more than a thousand corpses. But it still hasn't been breached, and now there is such an opportunity, so don't hurry up and seize it!
Yi Zhi obliquely watched the billowing wolf smoke turn into a huge pillar of smoke and soar into the sky, "Huh" Yi Zhi obliquely pulled out the Yun family saber that Bank of China Yue had purchased with a lot of money. "My warriors of the Great Huns. Today you paid with your blood. But your descendants can enjoy the mellow Han wine, the beautiful Han women, and the thousands of Han slaves herding sheep for them.
For our children and grandchildren, for the future of the Great Huns. Come on! With a sharp saber pointing forward, Amu led his thousand-man squad and swooped down on the Great Wall. At the same time, the evil king, the king of cultivation, and the king of wide eyes. King Huqiang and other princes rushed towards the Great Wall.
The galloping cavalry rushed forward with all their might, using the speed of their horses to throw arrows from their bowstrings far into the city. By virtue of the dismounted Hun soldiers, they carried the ladder and ran out with a roar.
"What are you waiting for. The Huns rushed up. Occupy Wuquan Pass, and the whole cloud is finished. Go back to Lao Tzu. Seeing that Su Jian didn't have time to talk to these Qiu Ba anymore, he simply waved the long sword in his hand. Vicious eyes were fixed on the leading sentry.
It was very uncomfortable to be stared at with hooked eyes, especially since Su Jian's eyes were already red at this time.
The sentry commander knew that if he didn't return to his position right away. What awaits you must be a sword through the heart.
"Go back and kill those Hun dogs." The sentry gritted his teeth and brandished the broadsword in his hand. He led his subordinates to his battle position.
The Huns had already come to the foot of the city at this time, and several people carried a ladder to the king. The dense Hun sergeants began to climb up the ladder, and the battle was bloody almost from the beginning.
This time, the Huns were like madmen, and the soldiers who participated in the war were all extraordinary. They wore heavy cowhide armor, some of which could not even be pierced by arrows. The condor archers under the city continued to harvest the lives of the crossbowmen on the city with arrows. Cover the attack of the Hun infantry.
Su Jian's sword pierced the face of a Hun soldier, kicked the corpse with his foot, and fell straight to the city. But before he could recover his strength, another Hun sergeant showed his head. Su Jian, who didn't have time to catch his breath, picked up a putt with a few personal soldiers. The pestle reached the ladder, and everyone shouted in unison, and the ladder with a string of Hun soldiers was overturned.
By this time it was already winter, and the land was frozen hard. The Hun soldiers who fell down cried wolf for a while, and the groans and screams at the foot of the city wall kept coming.
"Captain, it's not good. Look! A pro-soldier suddenly screamed, pulled Su Jian and pointed back. The more anxious the mouth is, the more garlic is stirred, and I can't speak.
Su Jian looked in the direction of the soldier's fingers, and immediately felt that his hands and feet were cold. A heart fell downward, and a puff of smoke and dust rushed towards Wuquan Pass. Everyone who came was a cavalryman, so there was no need to think that it must be Zhao Xin.
At this time, the siege of the Huns has entered a white-hot stage, if you insert this sharp knife in the back. The consequences were unimaginable, and the sword in Su Jian's hand couldn't hold it. "Dang Chang" fell to the ground with a thud.
There is a fatal flaw in the defense line of the Great Wall, that is, it is to prevent the outside but not the inside. Externally, there is a bare city wall, and there are obstacles such as deer traps under the city. But there was nothing in the city, and you could even go straight up to the city wall along the horse road. There is a drawbridge before the gate, and there is a heavy gate. However, the gate was open inward, and no matter what, it could not stop the attack from the inside out.
The crossbow holes on the city wall are also facing outside the Great Wall, but there is not even a single hole in the face. It can be said that these cavalry of Zhao Xin were like entering a no-man's land, and they rushed to the gate of the city and began to slash and kill. Some Hun cavalry stood behind, reined in their horses, and shot at the Han army in the city with bows and arrows.
Those Han soldiers were concentrating on dealing with the siege of the Huns in front, who would have thought that arrows would fly from behind. For a while, there were many howls on the Great Wall, and several arrow battlements were lost in an instant. The Huns brandished their blades and climbed up the ladder one by one.
At this time, Zhao Xin had already killed dozens of Han soldiers at the city gate. These Hun soldiers were outnumbered and rode on horses. The efficiency of killing people is not ordinarily high.
"Rush up to the city and lower the drawbridge." As soon as Zhao Xin waved the long sword in his hand, more than 100 people immediately dismounted. Run up the road.
Only a dozen or so people came to stop them, and they were all cut down to the ground in one round.
"Quack!" "Quack!" "Quack!" The Hun rebels who rushed to the head of the city killed the guards guarding the winch as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. At this time, the city walls everywhere were tight, and Su Wu had already evacuated the soldiers guarding the winch. There are only seven or eight people guarding here, and they will be the opponents of more than a hundred Hun rebels.
As the winch turned, the drawbridge was slowly moving downward. The Hun army erupted into a burst of cheers, but Su Jian was already so frightened that he couldn't stand.
"Quick, quick. Stop them, put the drawbridge down and we'll be done. Su Jian said to his own soldiers. But at this time, there were only a few soldiers around him, and there was already a shortage in front of Wuquan Pass. There is no one to adjust at all.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the drawbridge finally fell to the ground and rolled up a cloud of smoke. Then the two huge gates slowly opened, and the people inside were roaring at the Hun cavalry.
"The city gate is open, follow Lao Tzu to rush!" As soon as Amu saw the city gate slowly open, he waved the big knife in his hand without the slightest hesitation. He rushed towards the open gate, and hurried his horse's hooves across the drawbridge. Wuquan Pass has fallen!
Su Jian rushed to the winch with his own soldiers, but he was hit by a rain of arrows.
"General......" One of his own soldiers rushed to the front, and more than a dozen arrows pierced his chest with a strong wind. Su Jian was dressed in captain's armor and brandished a sword in his hand. Naturally, it is the attractor of the arrows, and half of the arrows that cut the head and cover the face are aimed at him. But they were all stopped by this personal soldier who forgot to die.
It's just this round of arrow rain that Su Jian became the commander of the light pole. All around are pro-soldiers who have been shot like hedgehogs. Su Jian's eyes were red, these were all old soldiers who had followed him for many years. I didn't expect it to fold here today, it was too sudden. Everything was too sudden, and Zhao Xin's betrayal caused Wuquan Pass to fall almost instantly.
"Zhao Xin, I'll fuck your ancestor." Su Jian held his sword and shouted and rushed forward. But at this time, Zhao Xin had already received Amu at the gate of the city to enter the city.
Another arrow came at him, so fast and fast that no one could react. One by one, two or three, and a series of more than twenty arrows shot at Su Jian's body.
The cowhide armor was shot through, and Su Jian, who was covered in arrows, looked like a hedgehog. But he still rushed forward with these arrows, until he was hit by three or four arrows in the thigh, and then he fell forward.
With a "dang chang", the sword fell far away. Su Jian wanted to rush over and pick it up, but his arm had long since stopped listening. I wanted to speak, but all I could do was blood spurting out of my mouth. A large mouthful of blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, and Su Jian stared at him motionlessly.
A Hun rebel came over and kicked the corpse twice, "Su Jian is dead, Su Jian is dead!" The shouts of the Hun rebels instantly spread all over the front of Wuquan Pass. The Han soldiers only paused, then picked up their blades and rushed towards the Hun soldiers who climbed up. (To be continued......)
