Chapter 131: Iron Wall
"boom!"
A total of 20,000 infantrymen slowly advanced to Yanmen Pass, but stopped two hundred steps away from the city wall. The sound of nature "novelｗｗ"
The three thousand elites at the front slammed the big shield in their hands onto the ground, and a loud sound like a landslide and earth cracking suddenly erupted between the sky and the earth.
The grassland-produced steel is limited, and a standard large shield like this requires extremely high steel. It is impossible for the Huns to equip it on a large scale. Those who equip such shields must be the elite of the Huns.
In these years of fighting, although the Yanmen Army became stronger as they fought, their constant defeats also urged the Huns to progress and learn, and the Huns also changed a lot.
Glancing at the well-trained elite infantry of the Huns under the city, Yue Fei frowned and sighed in his heart: Our army has trained cavalry that can rival the Huns. Unexpectedly, the Huns have also trained infantry that is not weaker than our army. They can train If such elite infantrymen are not eliminated, there will never be peace at Yanmen Pass!
And who among the Huns could train such elite infantry?
A hazy figure appeared in Yue Fei's heart. He was Temujin, the Righteous King of the Huns, whom the young master Qin Hao had always been afraid of.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Dong dong dong..."
The sound of drums and horns suddenly turned bright and high-pitched. In the main formation of the Huns' central army, Hu Chuquan drew out his sword and raised it above his head, then waved it forward lightly.
When a general standing solemnly behind Huchuquan saw this, he drew his bow and set an arrow. Soldiers had already stepped forward to light the hemp rope wrapped around the arrow cluster and dipped in kerosene.
The next moment, the general loosened his hand, and the blazing rocket suddenly flew into the air, drawing a striking trajectory in the air, roaring towards the head of Yanmenguan City.
"Kill..."
"Go ahead..."
After receiving the siege order, the siege team in front suddenly burst out with shouts like a mountain falling apart. The infantry phalanx that had been prepared for a long time, at this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with brutal murderous intent.
Yue Fei stood as tall as a pine, staring at the Hun soldiers swarming from the city. The eyes of the thousands of archers around him were all focused on Yue Fei's right arm raised high. Just waiting for him to wave, he immediately rained down a shower of arrows. It was leaked to the heads of the Xiongnu soldiers.
Closer, closer! All the defenders at Yanmen Pass shouted in their hearts.
"Brothers, kill..."
The Hun soldiers on the attack road roared like crazy demons, struggling to carry the ladder while rushing towards the city wall desperately.
Seeing that the enemy army finally reached the shooting range, Yue Fei's eyes flashed coldly and shouted: "Fire the arrow, throw it."
"Kill, kill, kill..."
The soldiers who had never killed anyone at Yanmen Pass on the city wall roared at the top of their lungs to increase their courage, and then dropped clusters of cold arrows on the heads of the densely packed Huns soldiers under the city wall.
The archers on the tower didn't even need to aim at all. There were many Huns soldiers below, and any arrow they shot could often hit the target.
Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, the Huns soldiers swarmed in, like a black mass of ants, rushing to the foot of the thick city wall of Yanmen Pass.
"Ah...uh...ah..."
"Boom boom boom."
Dozens of ladders were erected almost at the same time, and they were heavily placed on the top of Yanmenguan City. When the Hun soldiers below saw this, they immediately climbed up quickly with hands and feet.
Yue Fei's pupils froze when he saw this, and when the Xiongnu soldiers climbed halfway, he immediately shouted: "Thunder, stone and rolling wood, let go!"
Rolling logs and looted stones rained down from the top of the city. The Huns soldiers who were hit were either dead or injured, but they still continued to climb up the city wall.
Huns kept wailing and falling down, but their offensive did not stop. They climbed up using their hands and feet, and soon approached the city head.
"The archers retreated and gathered to kill the enemy. The pikemen rushed forward to prevent the enemy from ascending the city! The sword and shield soldiers gathered and prepared to counterattack!
After Yue Fei's military orders were issued in an orderly manner, more than 3,000 bowmen and arrows quickly retreated to the city wall and crowded the top of Yanmenguan City. The dead Huns who finally climbed to the top of the city had not had time to pull out the sharp blade in their mouths.
"Puff..."
The spear thrust forward like lightning, then retracted like a poisonous letter. The body that lost support suddenly fell from the air.
next moment!
Dozens of heavy siege ladders had been pushed up by long spears, and then they continued to tilt outwards, and finally collapsed.
There were dozens of Hun soldiers who had nowhere to dodge and were crushed under the heavy ladder. Their muscles and bones were broken in an instant, but they did not die for a while and were screaming miserably.
As for the elite Xiongnu soldiers who climbed onto the city wall and stood firm, they were instantly killed by nearby generals before they could slaughter the Han soldiers with great power.
The Xiongnu's individual soldier ability is indeed higher than that of the Yanmen defenders, but at this time Yanmen is closed and there are many fierce generals, including nine first-class generals and even divine generals.
The Huns who climbed up the city wall were quickly slaughtered by the generals.
Qin Qiong and other generals were like a moving fortress, nailed to Yanmen Pass. No matter how the Huns attacked, they would not move at all.
Under Yue Fei's excellent defensive command, the Yanmen defenders quickly launched a fierce counterattack, and endless pitiful howls rose into the sky.
"Ouch la la..."
More than a thousand elite Xiongnu soldiers with huge shields on their heads and wearing heavy armor were also guarding a ramming car. They were like giant beasts from the wild, rushing over.
When the sharp and heavy collision angle hit the city factory hard, a violent impact sound suddenly sounded inside and outside the city.
At this moment, it seemed as if the entire Yanmenguan city wall was trembling and groaning.
More than a hundred Huns soldiers howled wildly, surrounded the ramming truck and rushed forward, and then hit the solid city gate again. There was another violent impact, and Yue Fei felt that the city wall under his feet was shaking violently.
The Yanmenguan City Gate is made of pure steel and weighs a thousand kilograms. It cannot be damaged by a battering ram. Yue Fei is worried about the door bolts that fix the city gate. Although it is also made of pure steel, if it is left unattended and allowed to hit, it will be damaged. It's only a matter of time before it breaks.
The more critical the situation became, Yue Fei became calmer and calmly ordered: "Bring up the kerosene!"
Soldiers had already rushed forward, carrying pots of boiling oil.
At this moment, Shan Xiongxin, who was not far away, suddenly fired a rocket, which hit the boiling oil pan and startled the soldiers carrying the oil pan.
Yue Fei looked at Shan Xiongxin in surprise. Shan Xiongxin threw up his hands and said helplessly: "I'm too busy and my hands are itchy, so I'm looking for something to do. Besides, isn't this how the Huns also light fires?"
"...Can you please stop causing trouble?" Yue Fei had a headache and rubbed his temples, smiling bitterly.
But at this time, Qin Yong came over and said with a smile: "Brother Pengju, you see that everyone else is working hard, it's not good for the two of us to just stand like this, right? Why don't you also arrange some tasks for us?" "
