Time and space in the heavens

Chapter 403 The Scarecrow Borrows an Arrow
  Wushuang City is not big, and the distance between it is only a few miles. Especially in the recent period, any businessman with some connections basically already knows that the Huns are about to kill Wushuang City, and they have already fled.

In the city, apart from Ying Zihe's 30,000 soldiers and horses, there were only the immigrants who had migrated to Wushuang City. For these people, Wushuang City is nothing more than their home.

Seeing the Huns' cavalry coming to the city, the 200,000 troops dispersed and surrounded the entire Wushuang City. On the four walls, four generals, Li Shang, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and Han Xin, respectively commanded their soldiers to go to the city. Specially made crossbows Aiming at the next Huns.

Among the Xiongnu army, Touman Shanyu led the attack. During these days, the Huns temporarily cut down some large trees and made simple ladders and heavy ramming trees.

"Hahaha, a child's city, you want to stump this Chanyu?" Touman Chanyu looked at the small town in front of him, not even interested in ordering to set up camp. He waved his hand, not putting the Qin army in the city at all. In his eyes, he ordered, "Attack the city!"

Ouch!

Two hundred thousand Huns came from afar and were very tired. However, under Shanyu's order, they still carried the ladders and rushed out against the city trees without hesitation.

Besieged on all sides, the Qin army launched an attack on the city from all sides.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
  When the generals on top of the city saw this, they ordered the arrows to be released without hesitation. The specially made crossbows could load ten crossbow arrows at the same time.

In an instant, the dense arrows turned into a shower of arrows and fell into the densely packed, ant-like Huns.

There was a burst of screams among the Huns army.

The four generals are all born to lead troops. They have been following Ying Zihe for a while and have been on the battlefield to some extent.

The natural talents, coupled with the influence they have received during this period, made all four generals perform extremely well. When the Huns are far away, they use crossbows and trebuchets to attack them.

As he got closer, the wood, the millstone, and even the hot boiling oil were all smashed down without hesitation. Han Xin even insidiously ordered people to collect the excrement, boil it in large pots, add some spicy things, and dump it all.

The taste of golden juice is not pleasant!

The Huns originally lacked iron ore to forge weapons. It was considered the ultimate to be able to hold a scimitar in each hand. It was a big joke to imagine that the soldiers of the Central Plains were wearing bamboo armor or even iron armor.

With the golden juice poured on their bodies, hundreds of Huns screamed and rolled on the ground, their skin split.

For a while, he couldn't even get close to the city wall.

On the other three city walls, Li Shang, Zhou Bo, and Fan Kuai saw that Han Xin had used such a trick, and they all couldn't help cursing secretly. He is not a young man, but he has a lot of bad qualities. He is worthy of being the younger brother of Lord Chang'an, and he really looks like Lord Chang'an.

While slandering in their hearts, the three generals followed suit and copied Han Xin's move.

Not long after, the Huns who besieged the other three cities all followed in the footsteps of their brothers, screaming in agony and dancing on the ground in pain.

"Chanyu, we can't fight anymore. If we continue to fight, we will suffer too many casualties." Among the Xiongnu army, King Youxian saw that countless soldiers died, so he came to Touman Shanyu's side and dissuaded him.

"Damn it!" Touman Shanyu no longer had the high spirits just now, and his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he cursed angrily, "A small city with only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers actually lost so many soldiers and horses of this Shanyu. By the time After the city is conquered, no one will be left alive."

"What the Chanyu said is true." King Zuo Xian also echoed, "But now our army has come from afar, and the soldiers are tired. If we continue to fight like this, we will only lose our energy, and if we rest for a day, we will not fight again. Late."

"Withdraw troops." Touman Shanyu gave Wushuang City an angry look at the end and said in a deep voice.

Wow!
  When the order to withdraw troops came out, the 200,000 Xiongnu army with exhausted soldiers immediately dispersed and fled in confusion. The soldiers on the city wall fired arrows and killed many more Huns.

Under the order of Touman Shanyu, 200,000 Huns withdrew their troops and surrounded the entire Wushuang City. After repairing for a day and re-preparing the siege equipment, they launched another attack on Wushuang City. Every day, a fierce attack was launched on Wushuang City. The four generals defended the city. Relying on the sufficient defensive equipment in the city, they blocked the Huns from the city and did not give them the slightest chance to enter the city.

But no matter how rich the equipment is, it still cannot withstand consumption.

On this day, it was already evening, and after repelling the Huns' attack again, a message was delivered to Ying Zihe.

"Your Majesty, there are not many arrows left."

"How many more days can it be used?" After hearing the news, Ying Zihe frowned, looked at Li Shang who reported the news to him, and asked.

Four generals, Li Shang, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and Han Xin, were all listed. Among the four generals, Zhou Bo, who had the most calm and steady personality, secretly calculated and gave a number.

"Your Majesty, it can only be used for three days at most."

"Are there only three days of arrows left?" Ying Zihe frowned, and then looked down the city again.

Under the city wall, the corpses of the Huns could be seen everywhere. In this ice and snow, the Huns had no time to collect the bones of their brothers, so they could only let them die in the wilderness.

"Since we don't have enough arrows, just borrow them." Ying Zihe said with a smirk on his lips.

借？
  Hearing what Ying Zihe said, the four generals were a little confused. Where could they borrow arrows in such a chaotic situation?
  "Idiot!" Seeing that the four generals didn't react, Ying Zihe cursed with a bit of hatred, "Come here."

At that moment, the four generals all leaned over, and the five people gathered around. There was a burst of whispers. When Ying Zihe finished speaking, the four generals looked stunned.

"Your Majesty is wise." The four generals said in unison, Ying Zihe cupped their hands.

"Now that you understand, why don't you go and do it?" Ying Zihe shouted impatiently.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The four generals agreed in unison and immediately went down to prepare.

…………

Late at night, the moon was sparse, and the bright moonlight fell on the inside and outside of Wushuang City, giving the entire world a layer of clear light.

Most of the people in the Xiongnu camp had already rested, and only the night watchmen and scouts were left to keep vigil.

One of the scouts was drowsy, but his eyes were blurred when he suddenly saw countless black shadows hanging from the top of Wushuang City.

"Sneak attack, the Qin people want to sneak attack us!"

A loud roar sounded, and everyone around him reacted. Needless to say, thousands of archers rushed out of the camp and shot at the figure falling from the top of the Qin army's city from all directions.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
  A dense rain of arrows flew out and hit the black figures on the city wall. They stopped after all the black eagles that fell from the city wall were covered with arrows.

"Hahaha, thank you Huns for the arrows!" On top of the city, all the figures were pulled up again, followed by a burst of cheers.

Bright torches were lit, and in the light of the fire, the Xiongnu's eagle shooters saw clearly the true face of the so-called Qin people who attacked them. Where were they real people, they were clearly scarecrows!
