Straight man of steel

Chapter 467

"General, all the preparations have been made, just waiting for the Huns to start attacking."

Half an hour after opening the city gate, a school lieutenant under Wei Qing reported to him.

"Okay, let the soldiers on the city wall closely observe the movements of the Huns. Once they have the intention to send troops, come and tell me immediately."

"Here!"

Wei Qing is now waiting for the Huns to attack the city, and Gongsun He is a little worried.

He felt that Wei Qing's personality was becoming more and more distant, and he didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

But being surrounded like this is definitely not a good thing.

Gongsun He still hoped that Wei Qing's plan would succeed.

If it succeeds, it will boost the morale of the Han army and the spirit of the Huns will also be frustrated.

"Aren't you going to take a look at the city wall, General?"

Gongsun He was not too relieved. He should sit at the city wall at this time.

"If Brother Yuan was here, he would definitely not go to the city wall to stare.

He will definitely appear in front of everyone when the situation is critical.

You and I are still a little impatient, this war is destined not to end in a day or two.

Let's just watch, in the future, the two sides don't know how many open and secret battles you will come and go. "

Wei Qing said these words with emotion, and Gongsun He felt that it was not unreasonable for him to think that Wei Qing began to gradually become Zhang Yuan.

"Then we'll just wait patiently."

……

Yi Zhixie summoned an army of 58 troops and surrounded Yuyang City.

He rode a horse and stood at the forefront of the army, as if he was about to win.

"Chu Da, you are Han, tell me what Wei Qing is planning now?"

Yi Zhixie always asks Chu Da before making a decision, as if by doing so she can find out the habits of the Han people.

But what he doesn't know is that everyone on the Han side has a different personality.

People who read books as children think differently than those who didn't.

People who grew up in Chang'an City think differently than those who grew up in Luoyang City.

Ordinary people think differently from nobles, and generals think differently from civil servants.

It's not like the Huns, who basically didn't read books, were born in either deserts or grasslands, and there was no difference in the way of life between ordinary people and nobles.

It seems that the Han people are multicellular organisms, while the Huns are single-celled organisms.

"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, to be honest, I can't understand Wei Qing's thoughts.

When I was in Chang'an City, Wei Qing and I were not the same person. "

"Sorry, you can't think of anything.

Honestly watching how I took down Yuyang City today. "

"Yes!"

Yi Zhi looked behind him sideways, and he felt that it was better to send a general to make the victory more stable.

"Ajudo!"

"Da Chanyu!"

"It's up to you to lead an army of [-] to attack the four gates of Yuyang City!"

"Yes!"

Ajuduo is not an ordinary person, he is also a powerful household under Yi Zhixie's command, and usually controls a cavalry force of more than 1 people.

It enjoys a high reputation within the Huns.

King Hunxie glanced at Ajuduo, and suddenly hoped that all the hundred thousand troops would fall under the walls of Yuyang City.

However, he quickly shook his head, throwing this frightening thought out of his mind.

On the city wall of Yuyang City, the captain of the Han Army saw the Huns counting troops, and immediately rushed to the prefect's mansion of Yuyang City.

"General, the Huns have gathered all their troops and are now counting troops outside the city. It seems that they are about to launch an offensive against us."

"How's the underground fire going?"

"Reporting to the general, the soldiers can't get close with their clothes on."

"Let them wrap some more wet cotton cloths, and immediately follow what I said before sending thousands of Huns into the city!"

"The last will obey!"

The reason why Wei Qing felt risky was because he wanted to let some Huns into the city.

In this battle, Wei Qing not only wanted to kill the enemy, but also for some of the horses under the crotch of the Huns.

Thousands of horses are enough for the soldiers and common people in the city to feed for a day.

Wei Qing also had no choice. The food in the city could last for three months at most, and it could only last for half a month when everyone's ration was reduced by half.

Ajuduo quickly ordered an army of [-] men, and a black mass of cavalry rushed towards the four gates of Yuyang City.

According to the orders of the generals, the soldiers of the Han army on the four walls launched the three-bow bed crossbow as they did when the Huns besieged the city on the first day.

After the Huns cavalry entered the range, they fired crossbow arrows.

This time the Huns cavalry was denser, and more Huns cavalry were killed by the three-bow bed crossbow.

This was followed by a salvo of crossbow arrows.

But this time, the Ajuduo sent by Yi Zhixie was much smarter. The tens of thousands of cavalry in front maintained their speed and charged forward, while the tens of thousands of troops behind began to take out their bows and arrows to shoot at the Han army on the city wall.

Both sides come and go, although the losses of the Huns' cavalry far exceeded that of the Han army, the Huns suppressed the firepower of the Han army to a certain extent.

As a result, the Huns' cavalry losses were not as high as during the first siege.

In the first siege, the loss of the Han army was even less than 100 people, almost zero battle losses.

This time, Han soldiers kept falling from the city wall.

Such a situation made the generals of the Han army begin to look dignified.

But they still let the Huns into the city.

Because this is Wei Qing's order!
When Yi Zhixie saw that the Huns had invaded Yuyang City, he roared fiercely in his heart.

He waited for almost three months for a day.

"All the troops charge! We must take Yuyang City today!"

King Hunxie frowned, this is too simple, isn't Wei Qing the guard in the city?
King Hunxie didn't have time to think about it, so he let his general Tu Gugu lead a hundred thousand cavalry to attack.

The wall of Yuyang City.

The four school lieutenants guarding the city wall watched more and more Hun cavalry pouring into the city, and kept telling themselves to calm down.

The crossbowmen of the Han army on the city wall did not stop shooting at all.

Under the walls of Yuyang City are all Hun cavalry. As long as the soldiers of the Han army do not shoot arrows into the city, but shoot arrows to the sky with their eyes closed, the arrows falling down can hit the Hun cavalry.

The [-] Han soldiers shot down the city like they didn't want money.

Of course, the Huns cavalry did not forget to fight back.

The three male bed crossbows kept running.

The soldiers of the Han army in Yuyang City also pushed out the Sangong bed crossbow.

Shoot arrows fiercely at the city gate in the city.

A three-bow bed crossbow can cover the city gate, and the soldiers of the Han army hurriedly pushed away after using one, and then followed up immediately with another.

This relay method was thought of by Wei Qing.

When the three-bow bed crossbow is most powerful, it is placed on flat ground to engage in positional warfare with the enemy, because the steel crossbow arrows that are more than one meter long and weigh tens of kilograms can penetrate five or six horses and more than a dozen Hun soldiers.

Put crossbow arrows on the city wall and put them under the city wall. After shooting through one man and one horse, they were directly inserted into the ground.

This is more suitable for hindering the charge of the Huns, not for killing people.

The school lieutenant guarding the four walls of the city estimated that there were nearly ten thousand Hun cavalry pouring into the city, so he immediately issued an order.

"Pull up the iron chain! The shield array protects the Sangong bed crossbow!"

After knowing that he was going to fight the Huns, Wei Qing ordered to open several corridors around the four gates of Yuyang City.

These aisles are not horizontal, but vertical.

It doesn't seem to work at all.

But Wei Qing made holes in these aisles and the city walls separated by the city gates.

These holes become a mechanism.

Wei Qing learned this idea from Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan used this trick several times, pulling the iron chain or pulling the sackcloth rope to limit the charging speed of the enemy cavalry.

Wei Qing thought of this.

If one or several iron cables are also pulled up inside the city wall, wouldn't it be possible to form a steel city gate?

So he just did it.

And a steel rod was added to the round hole of each aisle.

Once the iron chain at the city gate is straightened, the soldiers in the aisle will insert the steel rod into the chain.

The cavalry's charge can break the tree, but can it break the steel rod?Even if the steel rod is broken, the steel rod stuck in the hole will cause Tiesuoka to die in the hole.

No matter how powerful your Hun cavalry is, you can't push the city wall down.

In addition, Wei Qing had another insurance method. He hollowed out the bottom of the city gate.

The city gate is actually covered with a layer of steel plate, and under this steel plate is a raging flame.

The war horse rushed over and stepped on a few steps, so they would not be frightened by it. Although the soldiers of the Huns could feel the high temperature in the city gate, who would pay attention to these details on the battlefield.

Others are killing the enemy and screaming, and you suddenly say that I am so hot that my own people will kill you.

This layer of steel plate was Wei Qing's last protective measure.

If they couldn't withstand the attack of the Huns, they would pull away the steel plate. A natural gap stood in front of the Huns, and the fire was still burning. If the Huns cavalry wanted to enter the city, they had to find another way out.

As soon as the Han army pulled up the iron chain and stuck the iron chain to death with a steel rod, the Huns' charge stopped abruptly.

I can't make it through.

What a rush.

Wei Qing made a total of eight iron chains.

Pawns can walk in, just bend over.But the cavalry will never come in, unless you can make the horses bow their heads and rush over.

The height of the iron chain is just a little lower than the head of the war horse, and then a little higher than the firing trajectory of the Sangong bed crossbow.

In this way, the attack of the Han army will not be interfered at all.

When Ajuduo saw the iron chain pulled up at the city gate, he didn't know what to do.

Dismount the Huns cavalry?Take a knife to chop the iron chain?

The crossbow arrows of the three-bow bed crossbow are facing the city gate.

"Shoot arrows into the city gate, suppress the Han army, and cut off those iron chains for me in groups of ten!"

Seeing more and more Hun cavalry rushing from behind, Ajudo had no choice but to use the most stupid and most direct method.

Wei Qing knew that the Huns could shoot arrows to suppress the Han army, so he got a huge shield to protect the three-bow bed crossbow and the soldiers who controlled the three-bow bed crossbow.

The crossbows and arrows of the Han army fired towards the city gate as if they didn't want money.

As soon as the Huns cavalry entered, they basically died.

The rest of the people outside the city gate did not dare to face the city gate hole. You must know that the range of the three-bow bed crossbow is more than 1000 meters. This concept is basically invincible in the era of cold weapons.

After King Hunxie saw this, he immediately understood that the Han general defending the city was still Wei Qing.

Today the Huns have no hope of taking Yuyang City, and the loss is even greater than last time.

As for the final loss, it is entirely up to Yi Zhixie.

If he wanted to kill 10 people, he could achieve this goal by attacking Yuyang City for an hour.

"Tell Tutu Gu to wander outside with a large army and not to approach Yuyang City. If the loss exceeds 1000 people, let him hold his head to see me."

King Hunxie said these words without hesitation in front of Yi Zhixie.

"What do you mean, King Hunxie?"

Yi Zhixie is now on fire, neither advancing nor retreating.

King Hunxie just added fuel to the fire.

"It's not interesting. I advise you to truce first, Da Shanyu."

"impossible!"

Yi Zhixie turned his head and gave an order to his cronies, King Hunxie felt that Yi Zhixie was really cute and silly after hearing this.

Wuhuan Da Shanyu didn't intend to dismantle Yi Zhixie's position at first, but after hearing Yi Zhixie's order, he immediately imitated King Hunxie and gave his army exactly the same order as King Hunxie.

A quarter of an hour after the order reached Ajudo's ears, Ajudo asked Yi Zhixie's cronies back.

"Is this really the order of the Great Chanyu?"

"The battle is urgent, how could I lie to the big boss."

Ajudo's brows never stretched.

He was really worried, why did he accept this task.

"Order everyone to get off their horses and walk into Yuyang City from under the iron chain to fight hand-to-hand with the Han army!"

Ajudo gritted his teeth and shouted this order.

The Huns dismounted and fought a bloody battle with the Han army!
Of the four great Chanyus, only Yi Zhixie dared to issue such an order.

Now you are almost unable to fight on the horse, so you have to get off the horse?

Totally kidding!

The soldiers of the Han army in Yuyang City saw the Huns cavalry dismounting one after another, and for a while they couldn't figure out what they were going to do.

The Han army had never seen a Hun soldier who dismounted and fought.

Hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides were collectively stunned.

However, although the Han army was confused, they still didn't stop what they were doing.

Still constantly controlling the three-bow bed crossbow to shoot at the Huns.

Dozens of Hun soldiers are always downed in each round of shooting. Although the speed of killing the enemy is very slow, it is very safe.

The frontal battlefield is still above the city wall, and the armies on both sides have never stopped shooting at each other.

The Huns didn't have shields, and their leather armor couldn't withstand the power of the Han army's crossbows.

After seeing the Huns get off their horses, the captain guarding the city wall went to the prefect's mansion in Yuyang City and told Wei Qing about it.

"What? Dismount and fight?

Are they really trying to attack the city? "

Wei Qing couldn't believe it.

Gongsun He smiled instead, he was thinking very simply.

"General, if you use a phrase often said by General Hussars to describe this, it is called seeing you soon."

"If you live for a long time, you can see everything, so let's stop guarding here.

Go to the city gate and see what tricks the Huns are playing! "

Wei Qing finally couldn't sit still.

In fact, he wanted to take a look after knowing that the entire Hun army was mobilized, but he also felt that the school lieutenants would quickly pull the steel plates away to stop the war in time.

The sudden change made everyone have mistakes and couldn't guard against it.
