When 6 Haruka attacked the enemy twice with a small number of troops, Jiexiu City ushered in the fourth day of the siege. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)

The person in charge of besieging Jiexiu City was Hu Yanyan, the general of the conquest. The general name of this conquest general is really a bit strange, because the Huns are usually called "Hulu", and the so-called conquest of the general is as if he was conquering himself.

Hu Yanyan is the youngest brother of the wife of Liu Yuan, the king of Han, who is now Chinese New Year's Eve four years old, and has a very high status in the Han court. Liu Yuanfan has campaigns and often takes him as the deputy commander of the whole army. Although he is not a fierce general with a white blade, he is better than having a calm personality and being experienced in using soldiers. On the day that the Xiongnu army crossed the Bird Mouse Valley, he led an army of about 20,000 men to surround Jiexiu on all sides.

On the first day, the Xiongnu carried the soil with countless carts, trying to fill the moat. Although the defenders of Jiexiu were condescending and their arrows were like flying locusts, the soldiers of the Xiongnu army were not afraid of death, and poured earth and stones into the moat one after another. Sometimes the cart guards in the front row were wounded by arrows and moved slowly. The soldiers in the back row ignored it and pushed the front row and the car into the river.

Rao is the first time that Lu Chang has experienced a hundred battles, and it is the first time he has encountered such an army that sacrifices his life and forgets his life. Seeing that the shape was not good, he repeatedly sent elite troops to take down the city from their hiding places to harass the progress of the Xiongnu's river reclamation. However, Hu Yanyan had already prepared, and ordered Xiao to lead Liu Tong to lead 3,000 elite cavalry around the city, and once he encountered the Jin army, he would immediately hunt and kill him. Lu Chang lost several troops one after another, and he could only watch the Xiongnu fill the river in a big way. By sunset, the moat of Jiexiu had been completely filled.

From the next day, the Xiongnu attacked the city in a big way. The terrain outside Jiexiu City is complex, the southwest side guards the pass of the Bird Mouse Valley, the southeast side is Mianshan, the north of the city is a continuous swamp, only the west of the city is open, suitable for the use of troops. The main force of the Huns' siege was concentrated on the western wall, and the eastern side was used as a response.

In charge of attacking the west of the city was the general of Wuya, Liu Qin. Liu Qin wore heavy armor, came to the front line in person, all the soldiers fought bravely to the death, for a time, the ladder stood like a forest, and thousands of Hu warriors climbed the city wall in the deafening shouts. Hundreds of men slammed into the gates with rudimentary carts, and thousands more rushed into the city as soon as the gates were breached.

Although it is small, it is extremely strong. After Lu Chang served as the city guard, he worked the construction of the city defense, and all kinds of city defense equipment were very well prepared. The defenders knocked down the ladders one by one with several feet of repulsive poles. When the Huns tried to re-erect the ladder, the defenders beat them with a large number of rolling logs and rocks. The garrison at the gates pushed down boiling oil and a large amount of hay and hay, and then threw down the torches. All the carts were burned one after another, and even the soldiers who pushed the carts were burned to death.

After a fierce battle for a long time, the two sides came and went, and the initiative on the battlefield changed hands several times. After all, there were too many Xiongnu troops, and finally forced a wall of the Jin army to be poorly guarded, and dozens of soldiers successfully landed in the city. These blades are selected from the 20,000 Xiongnu people, not only skilled in martial arts, but also the most fierce and brave. As soon as they crossed the city, they immediately slashed and slaughtered, covering the follow-up team to follow.

The Jin army near the battlement suffered heavy casualties, and at this time, only one chief and a few soldiers remained, but they were surrounded by more than ten Hu people. In the blink of an eye, several soldiers were hacked to death with knives. Although Nashi Chang was athletic, he didn't hold out for a moment; Unable to stand the Hu people's swords at the same time, he was slashed in the abdomen, and his intestines flowed out. Shi Chang laughed miserably, suddenly jumped up, and carried a bearded pawn to the city wall. All I could hear was the loud roar of the Hu pawn, followed by a muffled thud.

The person in charge of guarding this entire section of the city was an officer named Forbidden Pet. The surname Ban is very rare, according to Ban Pet's own statement, originated from the surname Ji, from the Western Zhou Dynasty Doctor Ban Tyrant Clan, dozens of generations have been passed down to the present, and the nobility of the family is rare today. Some people believe this, just because the forbidden pet is born with a good appearance, fair skin, beautiful appearance, and looks like a nobleman in the world.

In fact, although the forbidden family is indeed an ancient surname, there are no characters in the vein of the forbidden pet, and the generations are farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, guarding dozens of acres of thin fields to live. A few years ago, his hometown was plundered by rebellious soldiers and turned into ruins, and he himself was forcibly conscripted into the army, and then he fought in various places, and he did not know how many battles he fought, and he became an officer by sacrificing his life countless times.

At this moment, seeing that the city defense was broken, the forbidden pet hurriedly raised troops to rescue. The general rushed to the vicinity of the battlement, and the group of Hu warriors came like wolves and tigers, wielding maces weighing about dozens of catties for one person, and broke the tendons and fractures of the Jin soldiers.

The weapon in the hand of the forbidden pet has long been broken, and at this time there is a pair of swords and shields in his hand. When he saw the fierce attack of the enemy, he raised the iron shield of his left hand to block it. With a loud bang, the mace's tremendous power was removed by half and flew out diagonally. The empty door in front of the warrior of the Hu people suddenly opened. The forbidden pet sneered, and stabbed with a short knife in his right hand, and he was about to settle the Hu man. Between the lightning and the fire, the Hu man only had time to reach out to his chest, and his palm was pierced by a short knife.

Who knew that this would provoke the brutal strength of the Hu people, and in the terrible roar like a wolf's howl, the Hu warrior grabbed the palm of the forbidden pet with the knife, and pulled it back suddenly. The forbidden pet couldn't stand and was pulled out of balance. was kicked up by Hu Ren and hit him in the lower abdomen. The forbidden pet snorted miserably, and suddenly his eyes burst out, and he bent over and fell to the ground. Hu Ren then kicked the forbidden pet several feet away, and blood spurted wildly from his mouth.

The officer who led the team was poisoned in a single shot, and the Jin soldiers couldn't help but loosen their positions. The Hu warriors bravely advanced and became entangled with the Jin army, hundreds of people crowded into the small city and intersected with white blades, blood splattered everywhere, and miserable cries came and went. The Hu warriors under the city all cheered loudly, and the soldiers attacked even more fiercely.

Huya General Liu Qin also came to the city to beat drums to help the battle, and even sent all the guards to the front. In the blink of an eye, the drums of the battle sounded all day long, dozens of ladders were intensively erected in this section of the city wall, and countless soldiers climbed up with their lives. Jiexiu City is in danger!

At the critical moment, another team of Jin troops rushed to the rescue. is one person, it is Lu Chang, the general of Jiexiu. The general personally went into battle, and it was really different from others. He was surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers on the left and right, not using weapons, but holding a large shield in both hands, protecting Lu Chang at the core. Lu Chang strode forward, with two quivers hanging from his left and right waists, and a large bow nearly a man high in his hand. Seeing that it was not far from the enemy, Lu Chang shouted: "Look at the arrows!" ”

Open the bow like a full moon, and the arrow goes like a shooting star!

I saw arrows shot out one after another, as if they were connected into silver threads. The Hun warrior was now retreating to the rear, grinning and bandaging the wound on his palm, and before he could react, an arrow passed through the crowd, penetrated through his gaping mouth, and penetrated the back of his neck. The Hun warrior shook his hands and feet a few times, and fell to the ground on his back.

Not to mention the Huns in front of the battle line, after Lu Chang's first arrow knocked over the warrior of Nawei, the second arrow went straight into the eyebrows of an axe-wielding soldier; the third arrow, which nailed a knife-wielding soldier to the battlement; The fourth arrow, shot through the left eye of another soldier, pierced the back of the head. Four arrows in a row shot down four Hun warriors, and at this time, the other Huns just reacted, shouted in unison, and went to Lu Chang to kill.

Lu Chang stood on his heels and did not retreat an inch. All the Huns who approached him were not to be hit by arrows and fell to the ground with a scream. However, in the blink of an eye, all the pioneers were killed, and the morale of the Hun army was depressed.

The looming danger had eased, but Lu Chang did not rest. He stood proudly at the head of the city, and under the cover of the shield bearer, he shot at the Hun officers under the city one by one. For every arrow, a Hun officer will die with a scream.

The Huns were not without good archery skills, and several archers immediately returned the shot. But one is from the bottom up, and the range is not as good as the strong bow in Lu Chang's hand; second, it is indeed not as accurate as Lu Chang's archery; Thirdly, I had no choice but to protect the pro-soldiers. Therefore, the siege team of nearly 1,000 people was actually suppressed by Lu Chang alone. The officers of the Huns and above the rank of commander suffered heavy casualties, and the whole army was in chaos. The bewildered soldiers hesitated at first, and then retreated like a tidal wave.

The soldiers of the Jin army mended the dead and wounded Hun soldiers at the head of the city one by one, and then threw them down the city. Every time a corpse was thrown, there was a burst of cheers from all over the city.

The cheers did not fall, the horn was raised, and another wave of Xiongnu siege troops swarmed up. Hu Yanyan undoubtedly intended to drag down the defenders with a continuous offensive, so he did not consider the losses, but only urged the soldiers to repeatedly storm the city.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle lasted for two whole days, even in the middle of the night. More than 20 successive waves of siege troops returned under Jiexiu City. There were all dead and wounded in the city and under the city, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain.

The Xiongnu used the method of attaching ants to the city, although it was simple, but it was huge, and the psychological pressure on the soldiers defending the city was very heavy. In the past, when attacking the Jin people's cities, they could often go down with a single drum. However, this time, the ferocious attack failed to take Jiexiu, which made the Huns quite frustrated. On the fourth day, in addition to continuing to storm the city, they also mobilized men and horses to dig ditches and build fortifications around the city, as if they planned to besiege it for a long time.

The Huns seldom adopted such a method of warfare, preferring a fierce attack in one go, or a long-distance attack and a warlike tactic. But perhaps because Jiexiu was too important, this time, Hu Yanyan was determined to adopt this most laborious and effective method of siege.

The scene of Hu people's construction was seen by Lu Chang who was looking at it from afar. At this moment, he had not closed his eyes for several days and nights, his eye sockets were deep, but his spirit was still excited, and he made great strides to patrol the city.

Several personal soldiers followed closely behind him, exchanging worried glances from time to time: In the past few days of hard fighting, Lu Chang had to command the defense of the whole city, and he had to personally go into battle to rescue the emergency, so the physical consumption was very amazing. He was already in poor health, and in the few places around him, he would often beat his chest and cough heartbreakingly; His breath became more and more rapid as he spoke.

On the other hand, in order to repel the enemy army, Lu Chang ran around in the past two days, and he didn't know how many arrows he shot, and four of the strong bows of more than three stones were broken. His hands cracked, and his fingers were almost twisted. If the enemy continues to organize a strong attack, no one knows how long this master of archery will be able to hold out.

Lu Chang was careful to hide his hands under the sleeves of his robe so as not to be known by others. He always looked fierce in front of people, strolling along the city wall, comforting the soldiers and cheering them up along the way. Although the battle was fierce, the fighting spirit of the soldiers was still high, which made Lu Chang very pleased. What kind of generals there are, there are what kind of subordinates. The backbone of these soldiers are all old troops who have followed Lu Chang for many years, and they are very tenacious and tenacious, and they are suitable for defending the city.

Jiexiu Ling Lang Shuo was not idle, he organized the residents of the city not far away, demolished many houses in the city, and carried wood, stones, etc. to the city wall. In the vacant lot after the demolition of the houses, hundreds of strong men selected from among the residents were practicing in formation, and several officers were anxiously instructing them on their combat skills. These people lack basic combat skills, and their courage and will to fight are completely incomparable, Lu Chang originally planned to prepare but not use them, but now it seems that the situation is difficult to say.

Although the Jin army killed and wounded countless enemies, its own damage was not light. The 100 generals killed several of them, and the officers in charge of many sections of the city were short of personnel, and the defense arrangements needed to be readjusted. Lu Chang walked around the city, then found a place to sit down and summoned his subordinates to assign tasks.

There was a commotion from the city, and it turned out that seeing the Hu people building in the distance, many soldiers laughed loudly and insulted as much as they could.

In the midst of the noise, one of his subordinates said with some concern: "General, Hu Lu is determined to besiege the city for a long time by building long walls and barriers!" But I don't know if the lord has ever sent reinforcements? When will reinforcements arrive? ”

Lu Chang looked at the mountains in the distance and said: "The Hu people are good at field warfare, as for the method of besieging the city and the art of construction, it is their shortcoming. With a short blow and a long blow, even if the joint venture is ten miles and the long siege is hundred, why should we be afraid? Besides, having a strong army and taking a strong city frustrated the enemy's spirit, so that Hu Er did not dare to face it, it was the time for me to wait for a good man to make contributions. As for the reinforcements......"

Lu Chang held the buttress with his hand, full of confidence: "You don't need to worry, the lord will have arrangements." ”
