On the city wall of Lanzhou, there are mountains of defensive materials. The majestic Gansu soldiers and militiamen stood guard at the top of the city or carried supplies.
From a distance, it looks like ants at work, densely packed and countless.
Gansu people are full of martial virtue. Yesterday, Han Laocheng also used the Turks' rescue to boost morale.
When they saw the Han army setting up their formation to attack the city, they were not afraid.
"Athletes. Gansu is the Gansu of the King of Xiliang and the Gansu people of Gansu. Guard Lanzhou City and drive out the Han soldiers."
A military commander wearing heavy armor raised the steel sword in his hand and shouted.
"kill!!!!!!"
The Gansu soldiers all roared to kill, and their momentum was not inferior to that of the Han army.
They didn't know how violent the attack would be.
"Dong dong dong!!!!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The Han army marched forward amidst the shouting of drums and horns. The well truck stopped first, and the archers on the truck hid behind the guardrail.
On one of the pit cars, an officer yelled, "Head up."
"Whoosh!!!!" The archers, including him, emerged from behind the guardrail. They just glanced at the city wall before shooting the arrows in their hands.
The Gansu Army archers on Lanzhou City also fired their arrows.
The Han army's archers on the well truck were few and at an absolute disadvantage. But the heavy armor on their bodies played a protective role, and the casualties were few.
Under the cover of the Han army's archers on the well truck, the wooden curtain truck and ladder truck continued to advance. A large number of Han soldiers' archers and shield bearers left the wooden chariots on the way. The shield bearers set up shields as cover near the city wall, while the archers hid behind and shot arrows towards the city head.
At this moment, the strength of the archers on both sides has reached a balance, and you come and I go.
The Han army's wooden curtain trucks and ladder trucks continued to advance. Large numbers of heavily armored soldiers followed closely behind, preparing to board the city.
After arriving at the bottom of the city wall, the Han soldiers controlled the mechanism of the ladder truck and set up the ladder on the city wall. A large number of heavily armored soldiers were not afraid of dangers, clamoring and climbing the ladders, struggling upward.
"Brothers. Fight for the Emperor. Enter."
These capable Shaanxi men, full of blood, climbed the ladder one after another. But what greeted them were countless rocks and wood whizzing towards them.
"Heavy armor is afraid of blunt weapons. Hit them with rocks and wood to contain their attack. Just like beating a dog, it will hurt the dog. The Han army will be timid."
A Gansu army general shouted and ordered the warriors to throw more wood and stones.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Countless capable and loyal Shaanxi men fell from the ladder and were either killed on the spot or seriously injured and unable to move.
If there are casualties in the front, people from behind will take care of them.
"superior!!!!!"
These Shaanxi men are indeed timid, but when they think of the drought in Shaanxi last year and the emperor's favor, they can't help but grit their teeth and continue to climb the ladder truck and use their lives to dye the city red.
"kill!!!!!!"
The Gansu army defended beautifully, but the Han army's offensive was also fierce.
It was even too violent, like a fire, burning vigorously.
Gradually, the Gansu soldiers were no longer calm and began to act in a hurry. Occasionally, Han soldiers climbed onto the city wall, but they were like a flash in the pan and died quickly.
But the trend is very scary.
The Han army is not a dog, it is like a stone or clay figure. It is not afraid of death, let alone pain.
The southern military camp of the Han army.
On the camp gate.
Under the banner with the character "Han", Wu Nian is wearing heavy armor, holding the handle of the knife at his waist with his left hand, and the expression on his face is extremely serious.
The war is dangerous.
Although a general leads an army, his achievements will last forever.
But these are living human lives.
Seeing the casualties of the soldiers at the front, Wu Nian felt very sad, but he had to harden his heart.
"Hey." He sighed and shook his head slightly.
The civil and military ministers who followed Wu Nian were not surprised by the ferocity of the Han army.
The Han Dynasty seemed to have a magical power that made soldiers willing to die for it.
Whether it is Liaodong warriors, Hebei warriors or Shaanxi warriors who have just joined the Han army not long ago.
Even Fuso warriors and Goguryeo warriors have now been Chineseized. When fighting, be brave and fearless of death.
But to put it bluntly, it’s actually very simple.
The wealth of the country and the punishment of the Qing Dynasty.
The food and salary are plentiful and the pension is generous.
Soldiers are fighting at the front, and families in the back have a worry-free life.
Soldiers who died in battle at the front will receive pensions for their families and children in the rear, and orphans and widowed mothers will not lose their husbands or fathers and become poor.
When soldiers perform meritorious service in the front, families in the rear will be rewarded with fields, copper coins, etc.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty waved his banners in all directions, and the Han army marched forward in an invincible manner. No city could not be destroyed, no army could not be destroyed, and the whole world was invincible.
The prefect of Liangzhou, Guan Chaoqiang, saw the ferocity of the Han army for the first time. He was dizzy and opened his eyes slightly in shock.
The reputation of the Han army spread throughout China.
No.
It is well-known throughout Southeast Asia.
There are three ways to destroy a country.
Mongolian, Fusang and Goguryeo. The emperor of Han captured the king, captured the emperor, and killed the emperor.
They competed with the Slavs in the north and invaded the Chu State in the south. They had the ambition to devour the Chu State and unify China.
But Guan Chaoqiang grew up in Gansu and saw countless fights since he was a child. The people of Gansu are brave and good at fighting, and they are full of martial virtue. They also fought against Turks and Slavs.
Han Laocheng successfully defended Gansu.
He originally thought that no matter how strong the Han army was, it had its limits. Looking at it now, it is really ridiculously strong.
"I have never seen such an army that is not afraid of death." Guan Chaoqiang took a deep breath, barely suppressing the shock in his heart, and thought to himself.
At the same time, he's glad he made the right decision.
Who can resist such a Han army?
Sooner or later the Chinese surname will be Han.
The battle at the top of the city was fierce, but the city was silent.
In the side hall of the heavily guarded Xiliang Palace.
Han Laocheng was wearing heavy armor and sitting on the throne. Below him are his confidant Dou Rong and general Panda.
The three of them were silent and looked solemn.
Suddenly, a soldier broke in from outside.
"How is the situation?" Han Laocheng stood up and asked loudly.
"Report to your lord. The battle was extremely fierce. The Han army was like moths flying to a flame when attacking the city. They were not afraid of death." The soldier was sweating profusely and bent down to report.
Han Laocheng's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on his face, waved his hand and said, "I know, let's get down."
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned and left.
Han Laocheng also sat back and put his right hand on the cushion with a very solemn expression. The Han army is recognized throughout the world for its bravery and skill in fighting.
Although I used an expedient and falsely claimed that Turkic reinforcements would arrive in Lanzhou within half a month.
But the battle was still so fierce.
Can I hold on until the Turks come to rescue me?
Panda and Dou Rong raised their heads, looked at each other, and shook their heads slightly.
The situation is really not good.
