Xiao Guan.
After Huchuquan prepared siege equipment for three days, he launched the attack at dawn on the third day.
Xiao Guan went up and down, the shouts were loud and the drums were beating restlessly.
On the supervising platform, Hu Chuquan, Liu Bao and Cheng Yu stood side by side.
The three of them looked towards Xiao Guan.
Below Xiao Pass, countless Xiongnu warriors were seen holding round shields and carrying ladders. Under the leadership of the captains of various ministries, they were killing towards Xiao Pass. Above Xiao Pass, arrows shot down like a heavy rain, shooting down countless people. The Huns were brave.
"Are all the equipment for digging the gable wall ready?"
Looking at the heroic sacrifice of his own soldiers, Hu Chuquan frowned. He glanced at Cheng Yu, who had a dull expression next to him, and then asked Liu Bao.
"I sent troops to collect equipment from nearby farmers and are ready." Liu Bao said.
"Hmm..." Hu Chuquan nodded and stared at Cheng Yu, "Shang Shu Cheng, when will you start digging the gable?"
Cheng Yu shook his head: "Don't worry, the defenders at Xiaoguan Pass have not yet been fully mobilized. If we send troops to dig the mountain now, it will definitely attract their attention. We will dig after the warriors attack the city."
Hu Chuquan nodded and said no more.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the Huns soldiers finally rushed under Xiao Pass. The arrow tower also pushed over and began to suppress the defenders on the top of the city. The soldiers below quickly climbed up the ladder.
On top of the city.
Cheng Peng directed the battle.
Seeing the Hun soldiers under the city building ladders one by one, he directly placed his shield on the parapet and ordered: "The enemy is building ladders. Soldiers, throw down the stones and kill these beasts!"
Suddenly, countless boulders were thrown down from the top of the city.
The Hun soldiers below the city were unable to escape, and numerous people were killed and injured. The Hun soldiers who came up from behind did not dare to stop, nor did they care about the lives of others, so they immediately started to build a ladder.
After all, the number of stones on the city head is limited.
After five rounds of consumption, when stones and corpses were piled up three meters high under the city, the stones prepared on top of the city were still finished.
The Huns soldiers seized the opportunity and quickly climbed up the ladders. Without the obstruction of stones, seven or eight ladders quickly reached the top of Guancheng. The Huns soldiers held a round shield in one hand and a crescent knife in the other, and quickly climbed up. Climb away.
"Quick! Pour the golden juice! Pour the golden juice!"
On the top of the city, Cheng Peng held his nose with both hands and gave orders.
The so-called golden juice is boiled dung juice. Boiling dung juice can not only burn the enemy, but its unique and unpleasant smell will affect the enemy's sense of smell, making it difficult for the enemy to climb the city wall.
"fall!"
Following Cheng Peng's order, the boiling golden liquid in the eight cauldrons was poured down.
"ah--!"
In an instant, there was a loud scream of grief below. The Hun soldiers who were halfway up the climb could not bear the severe burns and turned over and fell down.
But once one wave fell, another wave rushed up immediately.
At the same time, the arrow tower on the opposite side continued to output, suppressing the defensive actions on the city.
Inside the city tower.
Gan Ning frowned as he looked at the fighting situation between the two sides.
He looked at Pang Tong next to him and asked: "Pang Canjun, the Huns attacked the city for the first time. Why did they attack so fiercely? After several attacks, the huge rocks prepared in advance have been exhausted. Now they have even used gold juice and kerosene."
"If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I'm afraid Cheng Yu has other plans!" Pang Tong thought carefully, but he couldn't think of any other way he could break through the strong barrier of Xiao Pass.
Looking at the densely packed Hun soldiers under the city, Gan Ning thought for a while and said decisively: "Use a trebuchet. Since we don't know what the enemy's plot is, we might as well use a trebuchet to crush his plan."
Pang Tong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are in vain. General Gan is really a handsome man."
Gan Ning grinned.
Ordered the chariot camp to prepare.
This time, in order to ensure the safety of Xiaoguan and Hanguguan, Zhang Xiu sent fifty trebuchets to Xiaoguan and Hanguguan respectively. Such a number of trebuchets was enough to make the Huns soldiers outside drink a pot.
Following Gan Ning's order, the chariot barracks below immediately took up their positions, loaded up boulders, and set them on fire.
"put--!"
Following an order, the counterweights of fifty trebuchets fell at the same time, making a heavy landing sound. The loess flew up with shock. As the counterweights suddenly fell to the ground, fifty boulders burning with thick fire, Draw a perfect parabola and throw it out of the pass.
Gan Ning, Pang Tong and Cheng Peng stood in the center of Xiaguan City.
Fifty boulders filled with smoke rose from behind them, and the sky seemed to be on fire. A dull whistling sound resounded throughout the world, passing over the city and smashing towards the outside.
On the battle stage.
Hu Chuquan, Cheng Yu, and Liu Bao could almost stuff an egg into their open mouths. They stared at the flint whizzing towards them, and the palms in their sleeves trembled involuntarily.
"Throw...trebuchet!"
Cheng Yu seemed to have been drained of muscles and bones, his whole body was so weak that he could hardly stand.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu actually mobilized so many trebuchets to defend Xiao Pass. The danger of Xiao Pass and the weapons used to defend the city made it even more difficult to conquer this pass.
The roaring sound above their heads was deafening. The Huns soldiers looked up and saw countless flints falling from the sky and huge air waves rolling in. They were so frightened that they even forgot to escape.
"boom--!"
A huge roar sounded, and the flint mercilessly smashed down, taking away five or six living lives, cracking the ground and forming a large pit, which was spattered with blood.
After the first round of flint falls.
The entire battlefield was in a mess, with corpses strewn all over the ground. The flints that fell to the ground were still burning with raging fire, raising the surrounding temperature and burning the hearts of the Hun soldiers, and fear spread in their hearts.
War is ruthless.
After the first round of launch, the chariot barracks in the city immediately prepared for the second round of launch.
Gan Ning looked at the panicked Hun soldiers below who were being hit by flints with a cold expression, showing no sympathy. After the chariot barracks was loaded, he calmly ordered: "Let go!"
"put--!"
The order was given and the pin was smashed open.
The flint roared into the sky and smashed towards the outside of the pass.
When the Hun soldiers heard the whistling sound of flint again, fear spread from their hearts and crawled onto their faces. Goosebumps appeared all over their bodies, and their hair stood on end.
"The whole army retreats!"
On the supervising stage, Hu Chuquan decisively gave orders.
Upon hearing the order to retreat, the Huns soldiers rushed to escape from the battlefield as if they had been saved. There were also many Huns soldiers whose legs were so weak that they could no longer run. They stared at the flint in their fearful eyes. enlarge.
The Huns retreated.
Gan Ning and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. If the battle continued, both sides would suffer heavy losses, and the trebuchet was not unlimited. After five or six rounds of trebuchets, the pins would have to be replaced, which would take a lot of time. On top of the city The defensive equipment has been exhausted. If Hu Chuquan persists, the outcome will be uncertain.
Cheng Peng took off his helmet, wiped his sweat, and grinned when he saw the Huns soldiers running away in panic.
He did not embarrass Hu Ji.
Xiao Guan held on.
"General Cheng, hurry up and prepare the defense equipment to prepare for the second round of offensive in Huchuquan. Pang joins the army. We have to report the situation of the battle here to the lord." Gan Ning turned around and made arrangements.
"Here!" Cheng Peng took the order and went down to prepare.
Pang Tong said: "Well, our losses in this battle are not small, and we haven't figured out the conspiracy of the old fox Cheng Yu yet. Let's report the battle situation to the lord first!"
After that, the two of them walked down to the city.
At this time, Zhang Xiu led an army of 30,000 people and began to move south.
