Straight man of steel

Chapter 463 Small win

Eight hundred well-equipped soldiers suddenly opened the city gate.

Holding the halberd in their hands, it seemed that they were going to die.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"Roar!"

The soldiers in the city beat the war drums, and the soldiers on the city wall shouted and killed endlessly.

Yizhixie Hunxie King and the others suddenly couldn't figure it out.

Isn't this going to fight head-on before provocation?

"King Hunxie, what do you think Wei Qing is doing?"

"Da Shanyu, I don't know what Wei Qing is doing, but I know this is the best time to attack Yuyang City.

Isn't this what you always wanted? "

King Hunxie felt that it was very likely that the Han army was in Yuyang City. Zhang Yuan said that he was fooling him when he went north after he transferred the army to join the Huns' Shanyu military officials.

But soon he felt that Zhang Yuan was not fooling him.

The soldiers of the Han army who left Yuyang City didn't even walk out of the city gate.

"Wei Qing wants to play tricks on us?"

Yi Zhixie felt that if he ordered the army to charge now, the Han army would retreat into the city and close the city gate.

"Then do you follow his tricks?"

"Send someone to shout that Wei Qing can choose a place outside the city and we will fight him decisively!"

"Yes!"

Several Xiongnu soldiers who could understand Chinese rode horses to the Yuyang city wall.

However, the three-bow bed crossbow was not fired, and Wei Qing felt that there was no need to waste the special three-bow bed crossbow bolts for these soldiers.

"After they get close, send some sharpshooters who can use two stone bows. I don't remember there is one who can open three stone bows.

When these people came into range, they shot them to death. "

"Here."

Knowing that the Huns were here to provoke, Wei Qing definitely couldn't greet these people with a smile on his face.

Just like that, with a few swishing sounds, three Hun soldiers fell under their horses.

"Ahhh, Wei Qing bullied me too much!"

"Whether Da Shanyu continues to set up camp and besiege the city or attack the city, we still have to come up with a way."

After such a move, the balance in King Hunxie's heart tilted slightly towards the big man.

Yi Zhixie looked too stupid no matter if compared with Wei Qing or Zhang Yuan.

For so many years, he has only thought about competing for the position of the Grand Chanyu, but he has never thought about cultivating his military literacy.

King Hunxie immediately thought of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao before the Han Dynasty. He was also the prince whose younger brother wanted to be his elder brother. How could one be intelligent and capable of fighting, while the other was so stupid?

"Try it out, if the Han army fights us at the gate of Yuyang City, then we will take Yuyang City today and capture Wei Qing and Han Anguo alive!"

Yi Zhixie said harshly.

But neither King Hunxie nor Wuhuan Da Shanyu agreed.

They didn't want to send their men to deliver the first wave.

When Yi Zhixie saw that no one agreed with him, he was not impatient and immediately sent his troops to attack the city. Anyway, there were many people and they were willful.

"Pass down the order to send [-] cavalry to attack the city from the four gates!"

A quarter of an hour later, the [-] cavalry of the Xiongnu army launched a charge against the four gates of Yuyang City without forming a formation.

Wei Qing sneered and waved his hand.

The three-bow bed crossbow on the city wall was immediately pulled to its limit.

Then there were other crossbowmen who aimed their crossbows at the Huns cavalry who were about to charge.

"It's time to cum!"

Whoosh!
The first sound of breaking through the sky sounded, and many Huns immediately realized what it was.

However, they did not stop charging, and now is the time when the Huns are most inflated.

They firmly believe that a million troops can defeat Yuyang City.

In fact, their ideas are not wrong.

If they continued to advance, 90 cavalry would be stuck at the base of the city wall, shooting arrows at the city wall continuously.

The Han army had no way to take the lead.

In addition, the city wall of Yuyang City is only more than six meters high.

Everyone of the four Huns stepped on people, and they could touch the city wall.

If Zhang Yuan has so many troops in his hands, and without any siege equipment.

He would first use his absolute superiority in firepower to suppress the Han army, and then move all of them out. Only 10 people were needed to build a ladder. Of course, the person at the bottom was likely to be crushed to death directly.

However, even if all the [-] people who served as ladders died, the loss would be smaller than that caused by a forced siege.

Because when the city wall was occupied by the Huns, the 20 Han troops in Yuyang City were really ineffective every day.

If a person is in the city and cannot rush out, the result is that he can only wait for death.

Because of the limitations of the city, the side with more people has an advantage. This is not playing a game in war. There is no heroic story of a knight scurrying in the streets and saving the whole city.

The reason why Yi Zhixie didn't do this was because he didn't have enough control over the Xiongnu, so he couldn't make these people willingly die for him.

Secondly, it is very likely that he never thought of coming up to this level.

In fact, even if people are not used as ladders, it is enough to kill tens of thousands of horses, just pile up the corpses of the horses on the city wall, and just abandon the city after slaughtering the city.

Because there are too many dead people and horses, if the corpses are not cleaned up in time, it is easy to cause plague.

The Huns cavalry rushed within the range of the three-bow bed crossbow, and what greeted them was death.

After the first crossbow arrow was shot, thousands of crossbow arrows were flying in the sky.

Looking at this curved steel rainbow, Wei Qing almost sang happily in his heart.

The three-bow bed crossbow does not shoot straight but downward.

It is much more powerful than a flat shot.

Crossbow arrows can be inserted directly into the soil to a depth of half a meter.

Shooting people and shooting horses is directly piercing, there is no reason at all.

If there is no time to shoot arrows without a bow, if you can shoot indefinitely, Wei Qing would dare to push the city wall to the ground, and die as many times as you come!
In fact, the biggest thing about the three-bow bed crossbow is the psychological shock to the Huns. Killing people really can't kill many people, and the accuracy is too poor.

Of the 1000 Huns cavalry, less than [-] fell.

However, the three-bow bed crossbow only shot one round and there was no next wave of attacks. Everyone, including Wei Qing and Gongsun He, took the strong crossbow.

Yi Zhixie ordered these cavalry to attack the city gate, and they really did attack the city gate, and they didn't want to use the bows and arrows in their hands to suppress the Han army on the city wall.

When the Xiongnu cavalry rushed to 500 meters away from the city wall of Yuyang City, those soldiers were already closing the city gate as Wei Qing said.

But it takes time for the heavy city gate to close, and it also takes time for the two hundred soldiers at the city gate to retreat.

The Huns cavalry also accelerated their speed at this time. For them, 500 meters was just a distance that they could rush across in an instant.

The crossbowmen of the Han army on the city wall did not choose to shoot.

Because 500 meters is not within the range of the crossbow.

Only 100 meters can the power of the crossbow bolt be brought into full play.

"Aim at the city gate and shoot at me!"

Wei Qing pulled the trigger, and the arrow flew out immediately, aiming at the chest of a Hun soldier. The Hun cavalry fell off his horse after being hit by the arrow.

Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening sound of breaking through the air, and there was also the plop of someone falling from the horse.

To be honest, it is better to use the crossbow to kill people.

Twenty thousand cavalry is simply not enough to kill.

There are at least [-] crossbowmen on the walls of Yuyang City.

It only took one volley to leave more than 1 corpses of the Huns' [-] cavalry. When they rushed to the city wall, there was another volley.

Those Han soldiers who were guarding the city gate dared to stay in the city gate and fight with the Huns who rushed to the city gate.

"Damn it, Wei Qing is trying to lure us to attack Yuyang City."

Yi Zhixie said sternly, Hunxie King next to him sneered, and just now Yi Zhixie missed the best fighter.

"King Hunxie, why are you sneering?"

"I'm kidding that Da Shanyu didn't dare to put all his eggs in one basket. If a hundred thousand cavalry charged just now, do you think the four gates of Yuyang County can still be closed?"

King Hunxie was too lazy to fight with Yi Zhixie, he felt that if he helped the Huns, he must let Yi Zhixie understand his stupidity.

"But before the cavalry I sent out rushed to the city wall, the Han army was already closing the city gate."

"Then did you see that when some people rushed to the city gate, the city gate was not closed yet?
At this time, when the cavalry charged, were there 1 people standing behind them? "

Yi Zhixie had never had experience in siege cities, and neither had King Hunxie, he had only used this trick when he plundered the countries of the Western Regions.

With the charging speed of the cavalry, the soldiers of those small countries in the Western Regions could not close the city gates in time.

"According to your intention, King Hunxie, now we continue to attack the city?"

"The gate of the city has been closed, so what's the point of attacking the city?

Gather the army, surround Yuyang City, and station on the spot.

The Han army will not trap themselves to death in this city, and will definitely go out of the city to seek a decisive battle with us. "

Yi Zhi nodded obliquely, and even though he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he still followed King Hunxie's suggestion.

"The whole army stays where it is, and slaughters cattle and sheep tonight, so that the Han people can see how comfortable the Huns are!"

Yi Zhixie gave an order, and the Huns army began to set up military camps on the spot, as if the [-] cavalrymen who had just died were not their Huns.

In fact, whether it is a Han or a Hun, as long as it is not their own death, they don't feel much in their hearts.

I have seen too many dead people in the army for many years. People will die in war, people will die from illness, even giving birth to a child will die, and even more people will die from starvation.

If every time someone around you dies, you have to grieve, then there will be no happy moments in this life.

"Well, the Huns will not attack again."

"The general made a wonderful move. Before the Huns touched us, 2 people died."

Gongsun He is overjoyed, such military exploits are enough credit for being a Marquis when they reach Chang'an.

"It's a pity that such a trick can only be used once."

Wei Qing was glad that the Huns did not send more cavalry to attack the city, and regretted that the Huns did not send more cavalry to attack the city.

People are so contradictory.

If the Xiongnu sent more cavalry, it is very likely that they would not be able to defend the city gate, but if there were more cavalry, the Han army might kill [-] or [-] more Huns.

Now every time a Hun dies, it will reduce some pressure on the Han army.

This victory still dispelled the haze over Yuyang City.

The soldiers are not so desperate for the future.

In the next few days, King Hunxie sent various people to provoke him.

Some people pissed and defecated at Wei Qing, and tens of thousands of people shouted and cursed in unison, but Wei Qing remained calm.

This insult is nothing. If he can't bear this insult, Wei Qing can't be the general of the Han Dynasty.

In the past, Han Xin could not bear the humiliation of his crotch.

Yi Zhi was so angry that she gathered everyone together all day long to discuss how to force the Han army out of the city.

In fact, some people have ideas in their hearts, but they don’t say anything.

King Hunxie had a way to defeat the Han army without a fight, but he was still sitting on the wall and did not say this way.

As for Chu Da, there is also a way. Not to mention that he can't say it because of his position. Even if he does, there is no guarantee that Yi Zhixie will believe it.

After all, when Chu Da gave advice before, Yi Zhixie just reversed the operation and confused Chu Da.

"Da Chanyu, why don't we send some Han people there? Wei Qing will kill the Huns when he sees them, but he may not kill the Han people."

While discussing this day, a big accountant suddenly suggested.

Chu Da was the only Han Chinese in the Da Shanyu tent, so it shouldn't be too obvious.

"Yes, we have tried every method, but we have not tried this method."

Yi Zhixie looked directly at Chu Da, wanting to see what Chu Da meant.

"I don't want to go to Da Shanyu because I'm afraid of death.

But if Da Shanyu really wants to give it a try, I am not the only Han in this army.

At the beginning, I was arrested and brought to the Huns, and some Han people followed.

Da Chanyu, you need to know that I still have some use, wouldn't it be better to send those useless people. "

"Hahaha, Chu Da, you are really cruel to your people.

In this case, you can send a few Han people under the city wall of Yuyang City to insult Wei Qing and insult Han! "

"Yes."

Chu Da had long thought that such a day would come.

The Huns would not really believe a Han, and he had been in the Huns for so long and had never heard of the big Han eunuch Zhongxing that Zhang Yuan had told him before.

I don't know if there is no such person, or if the Huns are too forgetful, after all, they have no words handed down.

And Chu Da is not a military general, but a civil servant, and it is easier to be despised among the martial arts Huns.

Fortunately, when the military officials wanted to exchange him for Yu Shan, most of the Huns' doubts about Chu Da were eliminated.

The Han people did not pay attention to Chu Da at all. This was the perception of the Huns.

Otherwise, he couldn't have survived so safely in the power center of the Huns for so many years.

The reason why Zhang Qian was able to survive was because he never got close to the really dangerous Huns.

After Chu Da was given the task of selecting people, the meeting broke up.

Everyone is waiting for the Han people to provoke Wei Qing, what will be the result.

Even if Wei Qing killed those Han people, the Huns would only be happy, not angry.

The drama of slaughtering each other among the same race is still very enjoyable.

Chu Da walked out of the big Shanyu's tent with a sullen face, and walked slowly towards his big tent. The place where he lived was also surrounded by Han people.
