Chapter 69 Beacon fires everywhere(2/2)
When talking about the old story of Yi Zhixie’s defeat at Antao City, Zhongxing was speechless. The Han Dynasty’s military strategy advocated “never get tired of deceit”. This possibility is not lacking, but very likely.
The Huns' army rushed to the city like a tide, blocking the embankment of Yanmen City. The soldiers began to build ladders and prepared to climb the city.
Until this time, there was still no movement in Yanmen City. It was not that there was no Han army, but that the Han army stood on the top of the city, bent its bow and arrow, aimed at the Huns, but did not shoot arrows.
This is a bit unusual. Junchen Shanyu's pupils shrank, but he didn't speak.
Countless Huns climbed up the ladder and attacked the city.
"Dongdong!"
The shocking sound of war drums rang out.
The Han army on the top of the city opened their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows looked like a dense net, facing the Huns under the city. The arrow was shot accurately and was shocking. One arrow would never be released.
With such archery skills, even if the Huns who claim to be skilled in riding and shooting, they will feel inferior.
In the memory of Junchen Shanyu, there was only one Han army that had such excellent archery skills, not Jianzhang Army, but the archers under the command of the flying general Li Guang. Because Li Guang was not only unique in the world, but also good at training archers. Therefore, with his archers and archers, even the Huns would feel sorry for themselves.
Li Guang's archer is in Yanmen, so Li Guang himself must be in Yanmen.
Junchen Shanyu understood that this was not a bluff, but a real fact. Junchen Shanyu hated Zhou Yang the most, and Li Guang the most. Li Guang was here, and his idea of going to Yanmen in one fell swoop is unlikely to come true.
Strike the city directly without regard for fatigue. In front of Li Guang, that was the stupidest move, which was tantamount to commit suicide. The wise man of the military minister Shanyu knew that the best way at the moment was to stop siege the city, let the soldiers rest, and relieve fatigue. He had to order, but it was too late.
Just as the archers showed their might, the rolling wood and rocks on the top of the city were boiling oil, and the Huns fell down from the ladder, and countless people were killed.
Those who pour boiling oil immediately turn into fire people, jumping around and shouting under the city, which is so scary.
The Han army's attack methods were far more than these, and the crossbow also showed its power.
Yanmen is the top priority and is related to the overall situation. Although Zhou Yang's crossbow formation requires a lot of crossbows, it still leaves a lot of crossbows for Yanmen. This power is not bad. Countless crossbow arrows are like locusts, rushing straight to the rear team of the Huns.
After a round of crossbow arrows, the Huns seemed to be slashed into two pieces out of thin air. The Huns in the back team died and injured countless times and fled to their lives. The Huns in front were pissing backwards, either shooting at the bow and arrow or shooting at the crossbow.
The reason why Li Guang wanted to put the Huns under the city was that he considered that once he defeated the Huns, he would quickly escape the range of the crossbow with the speed of the Huns' cavalry, so he was reluctant to take action.
The Huns started to escape from the city, and they spent more time within the range of attacks of bows and arrows and crossbows, and even more casualties.
Only 70% of the Huns' army escaped. A single attack resulted in a high loss of 30%.
The bodies of the Huns under Yanmen City were stacked and there were countless. The blood dyed the city walls and the ground red. The air was filled with a thick smell of blood.
At the same time, fierce battles were taking place in Yunzhong County, Dai County and Dingxiang County, and there were corpses under the city, layer by layer.
