Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 889

The siege began in the second half of the night.

Bewitched by Xu Bugu, the Huns began to attack crazily. They had only one thought in mind, and that was to kill these Han people.

The flood made it convenient for the Huns. They didn't have to fill in the moat. They could go down on a raft directly on the high hill to reach halfway up the city, and then climb up with ropes, which greatly reduced the difficulty of attacking the city.

The heavy rain was torrential, and the gunpowder of the bow and crossbow could not be used. Both the attacker and the defender could only use the most primitive method of hand-to-hand combat.

The stone catapults on the top of the city roared one after another, throwing heavy stones continuously, and many Huns' rafts were overturned, but the Huns who fell into the water quickly made a comeback with the help of others.

The flood reduces the risk of their death.

The Xiongnu's morale was high, and they captured the Wengcheng on all sides one after another. They built ladders under the Wengcheng, and the city was in danger for a while.

Gao Shun stood on the top of the wall, letting the rain wash over his body.

Behind him stood a group of heavy armored infantry, which was the elite camp of the Polu Army.

Everyone stood up straight, like a benchmark.

Although there were only more than a thousand people, there was indeed a faint killing spirit.

"Report, general, the Huns have captured the four-sided urn city, and our army is not good at guarding, so we have retreated to the top of the city."

A soldier from the Polu Army came to Gao Shun.

Explore again!

Gao Shun said something lightly.

The function of the Wengcheng is to guard the main city and protect the defense line of the moat.Now that the flood has spread to the half of the city, the moat and the outer defense line are useless. Gao Shun's troops left behind in Wengcheng are only 4000 people, and they are not equipped with any heavy weapons or firearms. It is normal for them to be captured by the Huns.

Report!
Another Polu army came in front of Gao Shun.

"General, the Wengcheng has all been lost, our people have retreated to the top of the city, and the generals guarding the four cities are ready."

very good!

Gao Shun nodded slowly.

Now, it doesn't make much sense if the Wengcheng can be defended but cannot be defended.

The battle at the head of the city is the main thing.

Order!

Gao Shun took a deep breath, and said word by word: "The four generals, fight back with all your strength, and we must wipe out the invading enemy."

This battle is related to the fate of Yunzhou, and he will definitely go all out.

promise!
Everyone responded in unison!

Above the four gates, the generals of the Polu army were waiting in formation, with swords, shields, and spearmen forming a formation.In front of them, there are four small forts, which are specially prepared for artillery cover.

There are several gunners in each bunker, and Yunzhou's big killer bronze artillery is located in it.

It is also the only firearm that can be used in heavy rain.

At this time, the Huns also captured the four urn cities at the cost of 1000 sacrifices.At least [-] Xiongnu soldiers gathered on the Wengcheng.

"Take Lunu City and enjoy it for three days!"

A captain drew out his scimitar and gave an order.

Roar!
The Huns responded in unison.

Everyone's eyes were full of blood.

Burning, killing and looting is the biggest stimulus for them.

kill!

The siege of the Huns was just beginning.

Open fire!
Zhao Dachui waved the order flag.

Command the artillery on the four doors and start bombarding the enemy.

The artillery began to show its power, and instantly blasted the unobstructed Huns into pieces.

The Huns did not expect that the Han people could still use firearms in heavy rain, and they were caught off guard for a while.

However, the head of the Wan household who was in charge of the battle was quick-witted. He asked people to transform the raft into a large wooden shield, and a dozen people boarded the city with the wooden shields on them.

Although the artillery has great scattering power, it cannot move flexibly and can only bombard a fixed angle.

At the cost of wooden shields and the lives of 2000 soldiers, the Huns finally captured the city.

attack!
The four generals drew out their long swords and directed the team to charge forward.

The two sides began to fight.

The Huns had already gone mad. They held their breath for a while, and finally had a chance to vent their anger. Their fighting power was more than twice as high as usual.

The Polu army was also the elite of Yunzhou, and the two sides immediately fell into a bitter battle.

……

On Gao Gang, Xu Bugu watched all this with satisfaction.

As long as the Huns can continue this fierceness, the victory of this battle must belong to him.

"Come here, build a bridge, and order the golden wolf to attack. This king will personally take down Lunu City and kill Guo Jia."

Xu Bu Gu said swearingly.

After occupying Wengcheng, the Huns began to disassemble the rafts to build a bridge and transport cavalry up.

Lunu's city is tall and wide, and six horses can run side by side on the city wall, so it gave the Huns an opportunity to take advantage of it.

As long as the Huns' light cavalry went up, the war turned into a massacre.

Soon, the three thousand golden wolf cavalry of the Huns were ready.

These people wore thick leather armor, iron helmets, and golden cloaks.

On the grassland, the Huns all knew that there was a Golden Wolf Legion in Xubugu.

The Golden Wolf Legion is Xu Bugu's trump card.

If you don't come out easily, once you attack, you will be invincible.

The Golden Wolf cavalry are all young men with excellent riding and shooting skills selected from hundreds of thousands of Huns.

The selection process is extremely strict. Each person can lift a weight of five hundred catties and draw a two-stone bow on horseback.Archery must be able to hit the bull's-eye a hundred paces away.The age cannot exceed 35 years old.

Those who can pass the selection are the best of the best.

Xu Bugu intends to let the Golden Wolf Cavalry enter the arena, which means that the most critical node of the battle has arrived.

Soon, under the crazy attack of the Huns, a gap was opened in the city wall of the south gate.

The Golden Wolf Cavalry finally appeared.

As soon as this army reached the top of the city, they scattered left and right and shot feather arrows.

Their bows and crossbows are all specially made, and the arrow branches are also heavy, which can also play a role in rainy days.

Hold the top of the city!

The guard at the south gate of the Polu Army shouted loudly.

He never expected that the enemy would send the cavalry up, nor would he have thought that these cavalry could use bows and crossbows in heavy rain, nor would he have imagined that these cavalry would be able to gallop across the narrow walls like no one would The environment, riding skills can no longer be described as superb.

Whoosh!
A feathered arrow cut through the night sky and hit the general.

Protect the general!

Two personal soldiers stood in front of them holding shields.

boom!
The long arrow pierced the shield plate, and the momentum was weak, and then pierced the general.

This long arrow is made of fine iron, and the ordinary shield plate can't resist it at all.

The general Zuo was stunned, as if he couldn't believe everything in front of him.

It took a long time before he yelled and fell to the ground dead.

On the opposite side, Xu Bu Gu lowered his thick longbow and said with a sneer, "Kill without pardon!"

Being able to stand upright in the grassland, Xu Bugu is naturally not an ordinary person.

He is also the only one among the Huns who can draw a three-stone longbow on horseback. He was called the King of Huli by the Huns when he was young.His bow and arrows are all specially made.
