"These Han people are so treacherous."
After confirming that they were in a deadlock, the Huns panicked and fired back with their bows, but the attack was from a high angle of view and its power was limited.
Although it is a small city, it is located on the border and the city wall is over two feet high.
The Han army blocked the route to the city in advance, making it difficult for them to fight their way up.
Yan Qi's face turned pale, and he no longer had the high-spirited and bloodthirsty madness he had just now.
The Qianqi Commander beside him had trembling arms and desperate eyes.
They were not simply afraid, but more emotionally aggrieved to die like this. He didn't even have a chance to fight. He was tricked to death, or he died because of his own stupidity.
Whoever set up this situation is missing a great virtue.
"Fight the Han to the death."
Yanqi shouted loudly, and his remaining morale must not collapse: "We have reached the Han territory, how can the Great Chanyu not have arrangements? Warriors from all departments, we still have a chance to fight out, follow me."
He turned around and wanted to rush to the city gate. That was the only hope of escaping and ascending to heaven!
However, the fierce arrows were shot down, and the Huns soldiers were already on their backs.
In border towns, buildings higher than the city walls are not allowed, lest they be taken advantage of by interested people.
Arrows were shot from all directions, making it difficult for the Huns soldiers to find a place to hide.
The city was filled with the sound of bowstrings buzzing.
The sharp sound is ear-piercing.
Puff puff!
The arrow penetrated the Huns' body and blood spattered. The sound of arrows rubbing against skin, flesh, and bones, the neighing of horses, and the curses and screams of Hun soldiers were all chaotic.
"Every department..."
As soon as Yan Qi opened his mouth, a soldier beside him was shot dead by random arrows. The blood spattered on his face, which was still a little warm.
The anger and fear in Yanqi's heart almost exploded.
In the current situation, it was impossible to even form a formation, and the fighting power of the Huns' troops could not be fully utilized.
In a few breaths, nearly a quarter of the Huns' soldiers and horses were killed by the dense arrows at close range.
The rest found shelter in nearby buildings, but this was obviously not a long-term solution.
The Han army had begun to throw stones from the top of the wall. Some of the weaker walls and roofs collapsed one after another and were on the verge of collapse.
"Can you set this small town on fire and burn all the Huns alive?"
At the head of the city, Zhang Cigong had been fighting with the Huns all year round. He hated them deeply and had a strong murderous intention.
"General, please do not set fire to the city! The Huns have fallen into our plot and there is no chance to defeat the rebels. Burning the city is of little use at this time. It is not difficult to repair the parts of the city that were crushed by stone throws. If it is burned, the entire city will be destroyed." It’s over, it’s our own losses that have increased.” said the Forbidden Army general next to him.
Zhang Cigong nodded slightly, gearing up, and had the urge to jump down and join the battle.
Within a few words, the city below was already filled with blood and corpses were lying on the ground.
The Xiongnu was in charge of Yanqi, and he quickly took out a black leather bag placed close to his body.
Yi Zhixie sent their team deep into the Han territory in order to let them retaliate against the Han people and also conduct a stabbing rear-end raid.
To this end, Yi Zhixie and Enchi made many targeted arrangements.
They gave Yanqi a shamanic weapon, which could help him escape if he was trapped and defeat the enemy if he encountered a strong army, so that this elite could achieve their strategic goals.
Yanqi was preparing to use the means of suppressing the situation to see if he could lead his army to break through the city.
…
The moon is as cold as water.
Outside the city, the Huns were lured into the city and fell into a deadlock, while Han troops were standing on top of the city. These changes were witnessed by another team hiding behind a hill several hundred feet away from the side of the city.
The leader of this team is Tian You, one of the Eight Dukes of Huainan.
The Eight Dukes of Huainan were a strange man under the command of the King of Huainan, capable of both literary and military skills.
Tian Yu is one of them.
He has a short build, short beard, and dark complexion.
The King of Huainan and the Xiongnu jointly conspired and sent people to Beiguan to act.
Knowing that the Huns would come tonight, Huainan naturally made corresponding arrangements. A team of several hundred people penetrated into Beiguan in batches and gathered together.
Tian Yu is the leader.
When the Huns first saw the news of the fire coming, Tian You and others were also confused. Like the Huns, they heard the deafening shouts of killing from a distance in the border city. They thought that their actions were exposed and there was turmoil in the city.
Then they saw the Huns rushing to attack the small city. Tian You and others followed them from a distance until the Huns entered the city on horseback and the city gate was closed.
Tian You and others also realized that it was an ambush by the Han army!
"General Tian, what should we do?" a subordinate asked.
what to do?
Tian You's thoughts suddenly changed: "This is a small city. The city is short and the gates are thin. We cannot let the Han army trap all the Huns to death."
At this time, the Han army at the top of the city was paying attention to the city. From the perspective of Tian You and others, it seemed that it would not be difficult to get close to the city gate if they covered up and killed them.
"But your Majesty asked us to hide our identities. If we rush out, wouldn't it arouse suspicion? What's the use of rushing out?"
The deputy next to him was a thin middle-aged man who was a little hesitant.
"Right now, is it more important to rescue these Xiongnu soldiers and create chaos in Beiguan, or is it more important to continue hiding? After the Han army has wiped out the Huns soldiers and thoroughly investigated the matter at Beiguan, how long do you think we can hide?"
Tian You thought things through very clearly:
"As long as a few people sneak past and get close, I can break down the door without having to fight with the Han army.
The shouts of killing in the city were so loud that those Han troops might not be able to detect us in time. "After saying that, he took a few confidants, concealed his whereabouts, and touched it quietly.
Inside the city.
Yanqi, the Xiongnu in charge, had already moved the black leather bag in his hand.
All shamanic things require blood sacrifices to open, and at this time, the city is filled with blood.
Yanqi picked up the body of a Hun soldier who had been shot and brought it close to the leather bag.
Instantly, a suction force appeared in the bag, and all the blood and energy on the corpse was sucked into the small bag.
Then the pocket bulged, and a black air was about to burst out.
As long as this black energy comes out and covers the sky, it can cover the regrouping of the Huns soldiers, and the power of the black energy should be able to break open the city gate.
Yanqi was about to further activate the leather bag, but he didn't want to have a warning sign in his heart, when a sharp arrow suddenly struck.
He stepped sideways and avoided the arrows.
On the top of the city, Zhang Cigong held a big bow in his hand and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at the Hun leader!
The other party took out the black leather bag and was immediately noticed by him.
He immediately shouted wildly, jumped from the wall, landed on the top of a building in the city, ran quickly, and rushed straight towards Yanqi.
Yanqi dodged the arrow and felt a real murderous aura approaching him.
When he turned around to look, he saw a figure flying over.
Even Wei Qing praised Zhang Cigong for his bravery and considered him a rare brave general.
Historically, when he was involved in the Huainan rebellion because of his affair with Liu Ling, Wei Qing felt pity for his bravery and was not afraid of being implicated. He went to Emperor Wu himself to intercede, saying that he had fought against the Huns for many years and had made many meritorious deeds, and wanted to protect him.
Unfortunately it didn't work out.
At this time, Zhang Cigong descended from the sky, took out the Han sword from his waist, and struck it down in the air.
A sharp sword light broke through the void and slashed down with a huge force.
Yanqi didn't have time to move the black leather bag and drew his knife to block.
Dang! Dang Dang!
The harsh sound of clashing weapons spread through the small town, even covering up the cry of killing.
Zhang Cigong gathered his troops, and the energy of a military talisman blessed the sword.
His military talisman is the Qianjun Talisman. After being blessed, he becomes extremely powerful and can defeat Qianjun. It is the exclusive military talisman for fierce generals.
Zhang Cigong chopped it down with one blow, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
Yan Qi's body also lit up with blood-colored shaman ritual inscriptions, and the scimitar in his hand made no sound, drawing strange arcs, which was exactly the opposite of Zhang Cigong's astonishing momentum.
However, Zhang Cigong still had some energy left when he struck out with his sword. His free hand punched the hilt of his sword from the side, accurately observing the force of the sword.
Click!
The blade fell, and a large piece of Yanqi's arm, including the skin and flesh, was cut off.
Seek blood when you strike.
In battles on the battlefield, life or death can often be determined by just a few moves.
All moves strive to be concise, accurate and fast, leaving aside all cumbersome changes.
Neither of them were weak in force. The difference was that the Han army had great morale, while the Huns were in a deadlock and lost their momentum early. There is also a gap between the military strength that generals can gather and the blessing they can form.
Zhang Cigong's sword suddenly turned light and wiping out horizontally!
This sword moves like a horse flying in the air, with no trace of its trajectory and extremely fast speed.
At this moment, the Xiongnu Qianqi Commander not far away also drew his sword and came to assist him, and beheaded Zhang Cigong.
The attacks were staggered, and the sharp sword light illuminated the night sky.
Yanqi's chest and abdomen were cut open with a knife!
Zhang Cigong was very ruthless. When the Qianqi Commander came at him with his sword, he just avoided the vital point and let his opponent slash at his shoulder blade. He also wanted to take advantage of the situation and kill Yanqi first!
The battlefield seemed to be quiet for a moment.
Yanqi fell to the ground with a bang, and the black leather bag in his hand also fell to the ground.
There was a wound on Zhang Cigong's shoulder blade, and the skin and flesh were turned out. But he didn't care, and swung his sword to kill the Qianqi Commander not far away.
In a desperate situation, Yanqi was also beheaded on the spot. The eyes of the Qianqi Commander were completely despairing.
The same goes for other Huns soldiers, with no morale at all.
By this time, this Xiongnu tribe had no chance.
