It's not that Long Xiao doesn't want to pursue. The key problem is that the firing rate of this city-defending heavy crossbow is really shockingly slow, even with a cocking device and four people operating it at the same time.
If you don't have time to burn an incense stick, you can't even think about launching it a second time.
Although he failed to kill Borg directly, the shock brought this time was enough to make this guy frightened.
"Brothers, prepare to fight. Let these Huns see what will happen to those who invade our Han territory!"
"promise!"
The soldiers on the top of the city were all smiling, but below the city, even Borg, who had never known what shame was, felt his face burning at this moment.
"Asshole! Attack the city! After the city is broken, no one will be left alive!"
After finally escaping back to his own military formation and changing to a new war horse, Borg scolded him sharply.
Following his order, the Hun cavalry began to drive their slaves to attack one by one.
Using slaves to drive siege weapons is also a tactic that the Huns have figured out in recent times.
I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but those ingenious Han slaves were reluctant to waste them like this. Basically, all those used in the charge were barbarians brought from the Western Regions.
As soon as the war began, it immediately entered a fever pitch. The Huns drove the slaves away as if they were desperate for their lives.
The slaves pushed various siege weapons and rushed towards Shuofang City.
Although they had many siege weapons and were indeed invincible in other places, when they encountered Shuofang City, they felt despair for the first time.
Just the moat, which was three feet wide and one foot deep, had already caused them enough suffering.
In the direction of the south city, the Huns barely managed to build a passage on the moat at the cost of the lives of three thousand slaves.
But the problem that followed came again. There were countless passes on the walls of Shuofang City, and the soldiers of the Han army could perfectly hide behind them and shoot arrows directly.
There are too many raised parts on the city wall, which means that the ladders used by the Huns cannot be attached to the same city wall in a large density.
Moreover, the cornices on the city wall that originally seemed to be used for decoration now play a huge role.
The huge iron hook on the ladder was completely unable to function as it should.
In the entire south city direction, on a huge city wall, only about twenty ladders were sparsely erected.
Many slaves managed to climb halfway up, but suddenly the entire ladder was overturned.
Their bodies were not very good to begin with. If they fell from a height like this, except for a few lucky ones, most of them would be declared dead.
Although all these slaves were captured by the Huns, they would not feel sorry for them no matter how many died.
But seeing the lives of the slaves being harvested one by one, but no one could get even half a step closer to the city wall, this made the Huns feel that something was wrong.
In less than an hour, the Han soldiers suffered no casualties at all, but on the Huns' side, the slaves who rushed up the mountain without their lives suffered heavy casualties.
The most important thing is that the Han army defeated them simply by using bows and arrows.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the Huns' wickedness. These guys didn't regard these slaves as human beings at all. They asked them to attack the city and gave each of them a broken knife.
Even if they were not given even the lowest shield, how could their flesh and blood resist the Han army's powerful bows and crossbows?
Many times, an arrow shot through two or three Western Region slaves before finally falling to the ground.
As for other resources such as rolling wood and thunder stones, there is absolutely no need to waste them.
"Asshole! Let's let our own brothers go, these damn wastes!"
Borg originally planned to use these slaves to consume the strength of the Han army, but now it seems that they have no other role except to consume the Han army's feather arrows.
If they continue at this level, let alone siege the city, they are simply giving credit to the Han army.
The total number of soldiers on each wall is about two to three thousand.
When assigned to each ladder, it can basically reach dozens or hundreds of people to deal with one ladder.
With this comparison of forces, if someone can rush forward, it would be a real hell.
"General, I think it's better to let those slaves fill the moat with their corpses. After the moat is filled up, our rush car can be used!"
A Hun general licked his lips and then said with a smile.
"Let them fill in the soil to build a bridge and fill out a path for the rushing car!"
Borg smiled and agreed. After all, in their opinion, does the fate of a slave also tell fortune?
Following Borg's order, the slaves from the Western Regions who rushed forward again began to throw the corpses of their companions into the moat one by one without fear of death.
Their actions immediately attracted the attention of the rebels, and Long Xiao immediately understood what they wanted to do.
"Prepare explosives for me and blow up those corpses below!"
Long Xiao chuckled, is Shuofang City so easy to fight?
This is a city specifically designed for war, from the very beginning of its design. Already planning for this moment.
Any decoration that originally seemed useless now looks like it is the king of hell.
Just like the spikes sticking out from the wall!
On the surface, this thing seemed useless, but after the Huns' ladder was finally put up, its usefulness became immediately apparent.
When the climbing soldiers reached the spikes, they had to climb up carefully sideways.
But as soon as their speed slowed down, it gave the soldiers on the city an opportunity to attack.
An ordinary halberd directly played a huge role at this time.
Those Han soldiers didn't even need to show their heads at all, they just closed their eyes and poked downwards. This was not defending at all, but a bit like collecting military merit.
"Da Chanyu?"
Not far away, Yi Zhixie was staring at the fighting here in a daze. Bank of China walked over quietly and interrupted his meditation in a low voice.
"Everything you said is right. This city is indeed not simple. If all Han cities are like this, then what can we do to make them fall?"
Yi Zhixie took a deep breath. He once again felt the terror of the Han people.
