In the long-term competition with the Huns, not only the Yanmen Army is making progress, but the Huns are also making progress. At least their siege capabilities are much stronger than before.
Today's Xiongnu sieges are no longer limited to storming with ladders. They also use battering rams, and then use archers under the city to cover them to jointly attack the city. This caused a lot of trouble for the Yanmen Army.
Qin Hao looked coldly at the Xiongnu army coming like a tide. When he reached the enemy's shooting range, he immediately ordered: "Prepare for three-stage shooting, shoot."
Qin Wen thought the archery method proposed by Qin Hao was very practical, so he promoted it in the Yanmen Army. In fact, the archers are divided into three rows. One person releases the arrow, one takes aim, and one prepares. After one row of arrows is finished, he immediately retreats to the third row, the second row, then the third row, and then the first row continues, and so on.
Although this shooting method reduces the coverage area of arrow rain, it creates a more dense and uninterrupted archery effect, which can continuously kill enemies. The effect cannot be better for today's large-scale battles.
Of course, the three-stage shooting also has a fatal flaw, that is, the arrow vector consumed is too large, but currently the supplies at Yanmen Pass are sufficient for the three-stage shooting.
The Yanmen Army was condescending, and its range was naturally much greater than that of the Xiongnu. Before the Xiongnu reached the city wall, a large number of people were hit by arrows, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Prepare the stone and roll the wood. Release it. The archer aims at the opponent's archer and shoots."
The walls of Yanmenguan City are high and thick, and it is not easy to climb up, so Qin Hao took the lead to deal with the Xiongnu archers under the city. Without the interference of archers, it was easier to defend the city.
"Ding dong, the host's skill Zongheng is activated. Yufroo's commander is 88, which is higher than Qin Hao's commander 87. Yufroo's commander is 2 under the influence of Zongheng, and the current commander is 86."
Although the Xiongnu's offensive was fierce and full of tricks, Qin Hao responded to the changes with stability and calmness. He applied all what he had learned over the years to actual combat. Each of his correct orders caused great casualties to the Xiongnu.
However, this time Yuvluo was determined to capture Yanmen Pass, so he issued a death order regardless of casualties. The Xiongnu's bravery also caused certain casualties to the Yanmen Army.
After a day of high-intensity fighting, both sides were very tired and unable to attack the city after dark. The Huns retreated slowly. Looking at the corpses outside the city wall, Qin Hao couldn't help but secretly sigh at the cruelty of war.
"Young Master, the casualties have been calculated. This time our troops defending the city suffered 800 casualties and 500 were killed, while the Huns suffered 4,000 casualties." An army commander reported excitedly,
Qin Hao frowned when he heard this and said, "The casualties are so heavy?"
A casualty ratio of one to five is considered rare even when defending a city, but Qin Hao was able to defend Yanmen Pass, the most important pass in the world with a perfect defense system. In other words, Qin Hao was inexperienced. If Qin Wen defended the city, he would definitely be able to reduce the casualties to less than 500, but Qin Hao was able to defend the city. Hao's casualty ratio of one to five when defending the city for the first time was already impressive.
Qin Liangyu saw his younger brother frowning with self-blame and comforted him: "Brother, Yuvluo is well prepared this time. Even my father may not do better than you."
Qin Liangyu has participated in many city defense battles, and she has also seen Qin Hao's performance. There are almost no flaws, but experience is indeed a flaw.
Qin Hao naturally knew that his sister was comforting him, so he shook his head and said to the military commander beside him: "Immediately send all the injured brothers to Guangwu for treatment. They are all heroes. The families of the fallen brothers can receive hardware pensions."
Pensions are a unique reward and punishment system for the Yanmen Army. Looking at all the armies of the Han Dynasty, no one is willing to pay pensions to dead soldiers. That is to say, the Qin family has strong financial resources to withstand such squandering, but it is also like this for the Yanmen Army. Only in combat can you always maintain high-end combat power, fight bravely, and have no worries.
However, the Yanmen Army's pension is generally only two gold, which is 20,000 gold, which is enough for a family of three to live for two years. However, in order to resist the Huns this time, Qin Hao more than doubled the pension. It's not too rich.
When the military commander heard this, he immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Young Master is kind, I dare not to die for you."
Qin Hao waved his hand to signal Sima to go out, and then fell into deep worry. Nearly one-tenth of the people were injured on the first day. If the attack continues like this, Yanmen Pass will not be able to hold for ten days. What should we do?
"Ding Dong, Yanmen Defense Battle, killed 4,000 enemies, suffered 800 self-inflicted losses, and was rewarded with 3,200 war points. Currently, the host has a total of 3,340 war points."
After receiving the prompt, Qin Hao turned his attention to the system and said: "It seems that we need to find some powerful helpers to get through this level. Little Loli, I want to summon."
"Please host to specify the summoning points and summoning area."
"Use 100 summoning points to summon the commander."
For Qin Hao, what is most needed at this time is not a powerful general with a strength of 100. The powerful general is used to charge and is of little use in defending the city. However, this time the Huns have an army of 80,000. If they continue to attack Yanmen Pass like this, they will definitely be able to defend the city. If Yanmen Pass falls, Yanmen County will definitely fail, and then the four-year plan will be ruined. This is something Qin Hao will never allow, so he must summon a high-ranking commander to help him guard Yanmen Pass.
"Ding dong, the system level is insufficient. Commander summoning is a function that cannot be unlocked until level 16."
At the most critical moment, the system once again failed Qin Hao. Hearing this, Qin Hao said angrily: "What? Didn't you tell such an important thing earlier?"
"You didn't ask the host, didn't you? Besides, in order to balance the urinary properties of the system, does the host think there will be such an obvious loophole?" Little Loli asked.
Qin Hao was stunned when he heard this. At first, he thought that although this balance system was abnormal, there were still loopholes that could be exploited. After all, the commander was the most important in the five dimensions, and the commander was also the most important in terms of fighting for hegemony. As long as he could Gather a group of commanders, no matter how many powerful generals they have, I will pile them up to kill you, but now it seems that I am still too naive. How could the system leave such obvious loopholes?
"Little Lolita, what kind of summons can you perform now?"
"The host can currently perform force and charm summons. Charisma summons are unblocked when the system reaches level 5, political summons are unblocked at level 8, intelligence summons are unblocked at level 12, and commander summons are unblocked at level 15."
"Okay, use 100 summoning points to summon by force."
Charm summoning is definitely useless for the current Qin Hao, so Qin Hao can only hope to summon a strong general with a slightly higher command.
"The summoning begins. Character 1, Grand Sword Guan Sheng, 86 Commander, 96 Force, 65 Intelligence, 58 Politics, and 87 Charisma."
"Guan Sheng, ranked fifth among the heroes of Liangshan and ranked first among the Five Tiger Generals of the Ma Army, only has 96 points of force. It seems that the quality of the heroes of Liangshan is not as high as expected."
"Character two, leopard-headed Lin Chong, has 90 points in command, 97 points in force, 59 points in intelligence, 52 points in politics, and 89 points in charm."
"Lin Chong in Water Margin is indeed better than Guan Sheng, and the force given to 97 is understandable."
"Character three, Qin Qiong, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, has 96 in command, 98 in force, 79 in intelligence, 87 in politics, and 93 in charisma."
"Xiao Mengchang Qin Shubao, 95-point commander-in-chief. He deserves to be named Qin. He is just awesome. It's him. Keep Qin Qiong."
"Character Four, Bronze Hammer General Qin Yong, 82 Commander, 100 Force, 65 Intelligence, 52 Politics, 90 Charisma."
"Fuck, here comes another person named Qin, and he is also one of the Four Fierce Eight Hammers. Our old Qin family is really full of talents, but the commander is a bit low. Forget about such a high level of force, we may not be able to meet him next time. It’s better to keep it, since I have four hundred summoning points anyway, so it’s okay to be a little extravagant.”
"Character Five: Yue Fei is loyal to the country, 100 in command, 98 in force, 93 in intelligence, 53 in politics, and 98 in charisma."
Qin Hao was stunned after seeing this person. He never expected that he could summon Yue Fei, one of the four military gods of the White Han Li Yue, through force summoning. Normally, Yue Fei should be summoned after the system has reached level 15 with a commander summons. Yes, this kind of luck is absolutely incredible.
"Keep this, this must be kept, summon Qin Qiong, Qin Yong and Yue Fei, God bless, it must be Yue Fei, Yue Fei, Yue Fei, my Yue Fei."
"The summoning begins. Ding dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the bronze hammer master Qin Yong, one of the four powerful eight hammers. Qin Yong has his own weapon, the brass hammer, with a current strength of 101, an age of 22, and an implanted identity of Qinjia Village No. 1 in Lishan Mountain. A master, brother of the host clan, has just joined the Yanmen Army and is currently in Yanmen Yinguan County to assist the county magistrate in resisting the rebellion."
"Ah, my Yue Fei, give me back my Yue Fei" Qin Hao wailed.
If Qin Hao got Qin Yong in normal times, he would definitely jump with joy. After all, a general with a basic strength of 100 is not so easy to summon, but because he missed Yue Fei and got Qin Yong, Qin Hao couldn't be happy.
He was one of the strongest commanders in the history of China. If he wanted to meet him again, he would have to summon force many times. Maybe even if the system reaches level 15, he might not be able to meet him. So how could Qin Hao not feel heartbroken?
After howling for a long time, Qin Hao also looked away, so he comforted himself: "Forget it, next time, there will always be a day when we meet again, Qin Yong is not bad, maybe he can challenge Lu Bu due to 101 points of force. "
"Huh? Qin Yong is resisting the rebellion in the Yin Pavilion? So it seems that the Wang family has rebelled. The reaction speed is really fast enough."
Yinguan County was the original seat of Yanmen and the headquarters of the Wang family. Qin Wen's move of the seat to Guangwu seemed ordinary, but it was a fatal blow to the Wang family, which meant that Yanmen's officialdom would never be the same in the future. It is not a situation where the Wang family is the only one.
Therefore, the Wang family strongly opposed the relocation of the administrative center. It was precisely because of this that it aroused Qin Wen's resentment and suppression. In the end, Qin Wen was completely excluded from the core of Yanmen's power. Taking away the rights of the family was like killing his parents. Therefore, it was pointless for the Wang family to rebel against Qin Hao. Not surprised.
"There were the Xiongnu in front of us, and the Wang family in the back. It's true that the external troubles are pending and the internal worries are rising again. When fighting against foreigners, we must first settle the internal affairs, and pick out the weak ones before we eat the persimmons. Anyway, Yanmen Pass won't be lost for a while, so we'd better destroy the Wang family first. It’s time to concentrate on dealing with the Xiongnu.” Qin Hao secretly calculated in his mind.
