The generals of the Hulu family are shining brightly.Not only are the two important ministers of the Qi State, Hu Lujin and Hu Luguang, but also many younger generations of the family have joined the army, and Hu Luhuda is one of them.

Although Ning County is only a county seat, it is the lifeblood of the northern defense line of the entire Shanggu County. Because of this, more than [-]% of the county soldiers in the entire county have been handed over to Huluhuda.

After Murong Jun suffered a lot in Beiping, he turned his troops and ordered Murong Chui to lead a partial army of [-] troops to march directly towards Ning County, intending to create a passage from here, and the army would point directly into the Great Wall.

Above the city, soldiers of the Qi army wore armor and held bows, staring at each other.Under the city, Murong Chui raised his troops and horses, and fifty thousand soldiers were majestic and mighty, with a great momentum.So majestic, the situation changes color.The strong wind hit, blowing the "wolf" flag whistling.

Under the handsome banner, Murong Chui was full of spirits, and ordered: "The city must be broken before sunset, and after the city is broken, the saber will not be sealed."

"Obey!" The guards on the left and right promised, and immediately issued the order.

"Boom, boom, boom." Soon after, the sound of the horn stopped, and the sound of the drum beat even louder, like thunder from the sky, like a landslide, extremely majestic.

The Hu tribe is not good at weapons, and the only siege tool is the ladder.In front of the city gate, countless soldiers either bowed their backs with arrows, or held short knives, or carried ladders on their shoulders, forming a row of square formations, aggressive.Amid the sound of war drums, the Xianbei soldiers were all excited.

"Kill!" Amidst the sound of the drums, the Xianbei soldiers roared with enthusiasm as if they were rushing for thousands of miles.All the soldiers took steps to attack Chang'an.

"Boom boom boom!"

Unlike other people who attacked the city, Murong Chui deployed all [-] soldiers in one go without leaving any behind.

On the city wall, Huluhuda's face also changed slightly, and his expression was in a trance.But fortunately, he recovered quickly and directed the ministries to continue the attack.

As the Xianbei people continued to advance, the distance between the two sides gradually approached, two hundred steps, 180 steps, 150 steps, and one hundred steps.

"Let the arrows go." In order to save arrows, Huluhuda gave the order to attack after Baibu.

Immediately, countless archers quickly let go of the bowstrings in their hands, the sound of piercing the air continued to sound, and the arrows rained down, directly falling into the Xianbei battle formation.

"Pfft!"

Many Xianbei soldiers were shot by arrows, or were killed on the spot, or fell to the ground and screamed again and again.But the sergeants did not back down because of this, but they carried the ladder, held short knives, bowed their backs and approached Ning County step by step.

Within eighty paces, the Xianbei leader who charged at the front ordered to fight back.

Immediately, the archers following around the army drew up their bows and shot towards the top of the city.

On the gate of Ning County, arrows rained down like rain.

"Raise the shield." Seeing this, Hulu Huda quickly ordered.

Some soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to block in front of him, but others did not receive such treatment. Many Qi soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the two sides entered the stage of shooting each other.

Xianbei has a large number of people, and at the same time when the Qi army launched a counterattack.These soldiers were pressing on every step of the way, and soon approached the city wall of Ning County.

Unlike other cities, Ning County does not have a moat, so the ladder can easily lean on the city.Countless Xianbei soldiers with short knives bit their knives and climbed up with hands and feet.

Looking at it, Ning county is likely to fall completely in one charge.

At this moment, flying stones, logs, and boiling oil fell on the city. The flying stones and logs hit the soldiers, and they immediately became a pile of flesh and blood. When the boiling oil splashed on the soldiers, it was even more miserable. His skin was burned, and he fell to the ground, rolling and screaming.

There are no trebuchets or bed crossbows inside the city gate, but there are a lot of kerosene and flying stones.In close combat, although logs and flying stones are not as lethal as arrows.

But these things are the best weapon against the morale of the enemy.Being smashed into meatloaf by flying rocks and logs, and being injured by boiling oil, it was extremely miserable.This is extremely damaging to morale, and it will also make the soldiers on the attacking side fearful.

Huluhuda has continuously increased the city defense materials since he came to Ning County to serve as the guard.Especially after Cao Anmin's call to punish Hu Hu was issued, he even mobilized the people of the whole city to join in, and moved countless materials to the city gate.

It is precisely because of these things that their confidence in defending the city has been enhanced.

But the defenders also have their weaknesses.

The number of people is too small.

Even though the stones and kerosene made the Xianbei soldiers timid, they were numerous and powerful. When they were attacked in front, the soldiers behind quickly stepped forward, fighting continuously without fear of death, and stepped forward bravely.What Huluhuda saw were the faces that showed no fear, and he was even more terrified in his heart.

They are really soldiers fighting for a living in the sea of ​​swords and blood. A little injury is completely insignificant to them.

"Kill!" Just as the two sides entered a stalemate, another team of Xianbei soldiers rushed up quickly.This team of soldiers was extremely majestic, holding short knives, like a tiger descending the mountain, stepped on the ladder and quickly climbed up the city, and launched an attack on the Qi army.

"Beat the drums to help." Although Murong Chui couldn't see clearly from a distance, he clearly sensed this change, and after only an hour or so since the start of the battle, some soldiers boarded the city, his heart was even more shocked, and he ordered.

"Boom, boom, boom." The sound of the drum beating became even louder, as if it was thunder rolling from the sky, roaring endlessly.

Amidst the sound of beating drums resounding through the sky, the group of soldiers finally boarded and charged into the city, opening a small gap.

"Kill." There are more than ten people in this team, they are back to back, like brothers and sisters, relying on each other, killing each other, blood staining the walls.

"Quickly, mobilize the soldiers, we must beat those people down, and the city must not miss." Hu Luhuda's expression changed drastically, and he shouted again and again.

"Promise." The soldiers promised, and about a hundred soldiers rushed over with spears in their hands.

In siege warfare, one must only advance and not retreat.

Now that they have climbed the city wall, there is no choice but to fight all the way.Facing hundreds of Qi soldiers charging up with spears, the dozen or so Xianbei soldiers rushed over.

It takes a lot of courage to fight a spear with a dagger.

But it was clear that these soldiers definitely lacked courage, and they took part in the battle without hesitation, risking their lives.

"Kill, kill, kill." The difference between this small group of Xianbei soldiers is that they are all warriors selected and trained by Murong Chui himself.They are absolutely loyal to Murong Chui, even if there is a sea of ​​corpses and blood in front of them, they will not frown.

However, manpower was limited after all, and the Qi army finally beheaded these dozen soldiers after paying dozens of casualties.

Since ancient times, on the battlefield, one general succeeds and ten thousand bones die.The life of a soldier is as light as grass, but death is also lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai.These more than a dozen soldiers fought bravely, but they also kicked off the Xianbei's violent attack.

Chapter 701

At noon, the sound of fighting has already pierced the sky.

On the top of the city, it is like a landslide, unstoppable.Even though Huluhuda kept mobilizing soldiers to wake up and resist, the situation not only did not improve, but became more critical.

Blood splattered, howls continued, and it was extremely tragic.

Hearing the shouts of killing and looking at the boundless Xianbei battle formation below the city, Huluhuda's heart really collapsed.

He thought about surrendering.But he also thought of what his uncle once warned him, that in the Hulu clan, there are only generals who die in battle, and there will never be generals who surrender.Those who surrender will be directly expelled from the clan, and will not be buried in the ancestral grave after death.

If he does not surrender, if he abandons the city and leaves, Huluhuda is very clear about what will happen next.After the Xianbei broke through the Great Wall, the next step was to invade the hinterland of Youzhou. By then, there would be corpses everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.

"General, the Xianbei people are too vicious. There are no more soldiers in the city. Should we mobilize the people to go to the city to help?" the deputy general asked in a deep voice.

Naturally, it is impossible to mobilize all the troops on the city wall to defend the city, but there are only [-] soldiers in Ning County, and there are no soldiers to mobilize even if they need to be rotated.

"Order to go!" Hulu Huda had no way out, so he could only sigh.

"No." The deputy general promised, and quickly went down to deliver the order.

Borderlands are inherently dangerous.The reason why there are so many people living here is not for other reasons, but because the people in these places do not need to pay any taxes.
