Fangling.

The setting sun was like blood, illuminating the city above and below in red.

Following a series of clapper orders from Zhang's military formation below the city, the black rain of arrows, amidst the eerie sound of bowstrings, was like a swarm of wasps rushing towards the top of the city wall. The clattering arrows

The rain fell, hitting the blue bricks on the city wall, the battlements and the stone pavement of the city wall, splashing a series of sparks.

There were screams from time to time. There were always some recruits running around under such pressure, trying to take advantage of the arrows to hide in a "safer" place, but they were often killed during the transfer process.

A wave of arrows hit him, and then he fell down in confusion.

On the battlefield, the more panicked you are, the faster you will die.

After getting over this kind of helpless panic, he gradually grew up...

After more than a dozen waves of arrows, there was another shout from the city, crowds of people surged, Yi and Zhang soldiers wearing various colorful clothes mixed together, roared, and rushed towards the city wall.

On the city wall, the armor stood firm and there was no panic. The injured and the dead were lifted up and sent to the city in order. Following Huang Quan's command, the archers behind the shields immediately stepped forward and pressed against the battlements.

The arrows were slanted down towards the city. The archers in Zhang's army who had no time to retreat immediately screamed and fell down in rows. The screams could be heard clearly even from such a distance.

The archers of Zhang's soldiers retreated while rolling and crawling, and Huang Quan gave the order again: "Lower three fingers and shoot freely!"

The archers lowered their shooting angles and rained down arrows on the oncoming Yi and Zhang infantry. The infantry charging below the city fell one by one, and blood spattered everywhere. Those who were shot were not silent ones.

Next, he was holding the injured area and rolling around on the ground, howling. The sound was so shrill that it made people's hair stand on end.

The arrows used by Huang Quan were also the wolf-fang arrows commonly used by the hussars. The arrows have barbs. Once they penetrate into the flesh, they are extremely difficult to remove. If they are pulled with brute force, the wound will be directly destroyed into a bloody mess!

If the arrow is not removed, it is equivalent to being unable to recover, losing combat effectiveness, and bandaging has no effect.

Crowds of people came to the city. Rows of wooden ladders with green leaves were erected one after another. The crowds climbed up like ants...

"Come forward with sword, shield and spear!"

Huang Quan yelled.

The archer shot the last arrow in his hand, then turned sideways to make way for the battlements to make room for the swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen. They stepped back, shaking their arms one by one, and gasped for air.

With the sound of drums among Zhang's infantry array in the distance, behemoths were pushed out one after another. They were all newly made siege vehicles and cloud towers. They drove slowly and slowly towards the bottom of the city.

"Crossbow driver!" Huang Quan raised his hand and said, "Destroy the enemy's equipment!"

While Huang Quan was giving the call, archers from Zhang Shiyun Tower poured arrows towards the city. Several arrows were shot towards Huang Quan!

A soldier beside Huang Quan was shot by the enemy. He didn't even cry out. He just fell to the sky, and blood spurted out with a pop, staining Huang Quan's face...

"Your Majesty! Please retreat quickly!"

Huang Quan's guards stepped forward and tried to persuade Huang Quan to retreat, but Huang Quan refused.

After the two crossbow guns were nearly missed, the third crossbow gun of the crossbow cart arranged at the corner of the city hit the Yun Tower on the side, and wood chips suddenly flew everywhere, causing the Yun Tower, which had a high center of gravity, to shake.

A few of Zhang's archers on the Yun Tower were unlucky enough to fail to stand firm. Amidst the screams, their heads and feet fell off, like a bag full of soil hitting the ground, and there was no movement after a pop.

.

Another crossbow gun hit the Yun Tower, and the shaking of the Yun Tower became more and more obvious. The soldiers pushing under the Yun Tower tried to restore the center of gravity of the Yun Tower, but the Yi and ordinary soldiers without much training were unable to do so.

Understand that adjusting the center of gravity is a more complicated operation than pushing and pulling the cloud tower. Not only did it fail to restore the center of gravity, but the rush caused the center of gravity to become even more unbalanced. In the end, it flipped heavily, not only throwing away the archer on the cloud tower.

He was thrown out so hard that his hands and legs were broken, and he also crushed several unlucky people nearby, who screamed again and again...

Huang Quan looked at the anxious guy under General Zhang's flag far below the city and sneered.

This is already the tenth day. Zhang's soldiers have spent a lot of money, attacking wildly every day, leaving a lot of corpses every time, and the number of wounded should be twice as many, but they can't break the city, even

Morale also gradually collapsed, and many barbarians began to work hard to cooperate.

Huang Quan looked at the slow-moving car and patted the guard beside him, "Go get the kerosene! If it gets close to the city gate, burn it!"

At this time, the infantry under the city had begun to climb up, and the roaring sounds of killing were getting louder and louder. It seemed that the formation was very huge, but as the ladder on the city wall was pushed away by the fork pole, the barbarians under the city began to climb up.

He shouted, and then retreated automatically...

Zhang's soldiers then ran away with the Yi people...

The person pushing the crashed car saw that everyone else had run away. He looked around and also escaped from the crashed car...

Another offensive attack ended with an anticlimax.

The war drum that was originally roaring in Zhang's military formation seemed to be knocked weakly twice at the end, as if it missed the beat and became mute.

The battlefield suddenly calmed down, and some of the injured who were left below the city were still screaming and moaning without a sound.

Huang Quan patted the battlements and laughed. The other soldiers in Fangling City also laughed together, as if they were laughing at the weakness and incompetence of Zhang's infantry.

Under the banner of General Zhang's family at the bottom of the city, Zhang Ran was furious: "Kill! Kill them all! These deserters! Deserters!! Kill them all! Kill them all!" Then he turned to look at Ji Que, the leader of the Yi people, "Again

It’s your people who have to retreat first! What are you going to say this time?! Ah?!』

Jique was also jumping up and down, "Who can you blame for this? The ladder has collapsed, how can we ask our people to climb up on the bricks? You can't even stand up a ladder yourself, so you blame my people?!"

The two people stared at each other, as if they were about to pull out their swords and slash each other at the next moment. But after waiting for a while, they each turned their heads away and called for their soldiers to rise up...

After a while, Zhang Ran looked up at the sky and said, "That's it for today..."

Jique also added, "There are some elites in Fangling City..."

Since they are elites, no one will be ashamed if they can't be beaten.

Just hang around, that's all.

……╮(╯▽╰)╭……

Zhangye.

Beigong surrounded Zhangye City and faced off with the defenders in Zhangye City for the third day.

In fact, some people understand in their hearts that Zhangye is not the whole story of this war, nor will it be the end. If this war is about resistance to the tyranny of the Han people, it is better to say it is about the struggle for the sovereignty of Hexi.

Here, the Han and Qiang people competed with each other for the right to speak, entangled throughout the Han Dynasty.

Of course, there are many other reasons for this. Competition for pasture and tribes, and the decline and replacement of generations of Qiang nobles also play a role that cannot be ignored, but the most important thing is still interests. For these

For those who regard politics as their life, their wives, children, and children can be abandoned, parted, or even shared, but power cannot be surrendered, and benefits cannot be shared!

Beigong did not wait for the panicked escape of the Han people, nor did it wait for the urgent reinforcements. Zhang Ye seemed to be abandoned and stayed here...

So that's it, there's still going to be a fight anyway.

"My brave warriors..."

With the cold wind whistling by, Beigong raised his sword high and shouted loudly.

Although Beigong's purpose of launching the war is not so clean and pure, some are still the same, such as to boost morale and to declare his correctness. Therefore, Beigong did not order the fight from the beginning, but asked

All Qiang people are instilled with reasons to fight.

"The Han people are greedy! The Han people are cruel! The Han people want to make us humble our noble heads! The Han people want to occupy the place where we have lived for generations! The Han people want to rob our cattle and sheep! The Han people want to defile our wives and daughters! The Han people want us

Put down your swords and bows and arrows! The Han people want us to become slaves who only know how to milk cows and dig in the soil for food!"

"God is above! Jizi is above! I! Jizi's son, with Jizi's blood flowing in my body, will lead you to defeat the Han people! Cut off the heads of the Han people! Let their cities become their tombs! Let their wives and children lose their husbands.

And father! Let them disappear from this land!』

"We are blessed by Yoshiko and protected by the gods!"

"Victory belongs to us!"

"Ji Zi", or "Qie Zi", is the Qiang people's name for the sacred sheep. The ancient Qiang people believed that the white ram has supernatural powers and extraordinary reproductive capabilities, and is the closest and closest animal to protect the Qiang people's reproduction.

, the most important mythical beast.

Beigong raised his hands high and roared with all his strength. All the Qiang people who heard his voice became excited and shouted for victory. The war horses seemed to feel the restless atmosphere around them, and they twisted their necks and trampled on the front.

hoof.

At this time, Beigong pulled out the sword from his waist, raised it high above his head, spurred the war horse on his hip, and galloped past the long military formation. Wherever he passed, all the Qiang people let out roars of mountains and tsunamis.

Like cheers, countless swords and guns were dancing, pointing at the blue sky.

"Victory belongs to us!"

"God protects us!"

"Shout!"

"Aha……"

The entire Qiang army formation was like boiling water, and the deafening roar resounded throughout Zhangye City.

After the whistling sound passed, Beigong returned to his original position and shouted loudly: "The fattest prey always belongs to the bravest warriors! My warriors, use your bravery to gain your glory! Don't worry.

Your wives and children, under the care of your kind-hearted sons, will always occupy the richest pastures and live happily ever after!"

"I, the just one, will never steal the trophies of warriors like those greedy Han people. But any prey you obtain is yours... Now, hold on to your swords and bows and arrows, and go get the prey..."

"Yahoo……"

"Oh oh oh..."
