Han You has seen people, countless people.
At this moment, he felt that he had not seen as many foreigners as he had seen in his entire life.
The sun has already risen, and five miles away, the barbarian aliens are like the tide, twisting, moving, rolling, and hiring.
The foreign tribes of Fanman all live in the mountains of Nanling. Naturally, they do not have cavalry, they are all infantry.
The infantry is like a tide, like a sea, like an ocean, reaching the end of the skyline, and there are countless tattered flags.
The natives, with different totems and strange patterns painted on their faces, were as bare-chested as savages. Many of them even didn't wear any crotchless pants and were just dangling around.
A large dark cloud in the sky blocked the early sunshine, and the patter of spring rain was like an old man struggling to urinate, fluttering and falling.
It rains on sunny days, and this light rain under the scorching sun comes as soon as it comes.
The position of the front troops in the Fanman camp changed. The sound of war drums seemed to be absent but not powerful. Siege ladders several meters high were pushed over.
Tang Qingfeng's expression suddenly changed, and he looked back at Han You deeply, his eyes unkind.
Han You frowned: "Look at Ji Ba."
Ren Canglin also looked over, with a complex expression on his face: "Zhou Tianfeng, as expected, went outside the customs."
"How do you know?" Han You looked tense: "Do you have any accurate information?"
After Han You arrived last night, he didn't mention Zhou Tianfeng to the generals in Nanguan, not even a word.
These Nanguan generals are not fools. As the commander-in-chief, Ren Canglin naturally knows something. If Zhou Xiao dares to make such a fuss, he must cooperate with Zhou Tianfeng inside and outside the pass. How can he "cooperate with the outside" if the rebel is not outside the pass.
A lieutenant general smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, the foreign tribes never used siege engines when knocking on the pass. At most, they used ladders, let alone formations."
Han You understood. This was under the guidance of an expert. He was most likely that bastard Zhou Tianfeng. No wonder he seldom moved around inside the customs. Instead, he went outside the customs to train savages.
Han You, whose armor was wet, squinted his eyes and continued to watch, then blinked vigorously: "Why are there still a large group of farm tools?"
Everyone didn't know what the farm tools meant, but they just followed his gaze and saw the savages pushing the siege engines. They were all naked and had dark skin.
Ren Canglin explained: "It is said that the foreign barbarians are like uncivilized savages. If compared with them, those Xuan slaves are like uncivilized savages."
Xuan also means black.
Han You was also a little confused for a moment. Are those people called "Xuannu" by the border troops because of the sun or are they so dark in the first place?
A captain said: "General Han, please don't underestimate these slaves. They are all powerful and their enemies."
"What nemesis?" Han You shrugged: "Cotton nemesis."
The captain explained: "He is able to defeat cavalry and pawns. He is good at using a sledgehammer to swing horses. He is brave and fearless of death, just like a wild beast."
Wang Hai asked: "Master, have you seen these mysterious slaves?"
"Well... not really, I just heard that these people shouldn't appear in our Zhongzhou land."
"Then where are they from?"
"On another continent far away, they are considered to be the Black Banners of the old America. Their ancestors were slave soldiers who followed Emperor Washington. They are known as cotton nemesis, small supermarket killer, terminator who accompanied Shanda University, and they are good at ventriloquism. , the racial talent is the dark night raid, the talent is extraordinary, after the night falls, it blends into the night, does not show its teeth, and can go without leaving a trace in the night. "
Wang Hai stopped asking, it was beyond his knowledge.
"It's time to tackle the problem."
Ren Canglin calmly nodded to the entourage next to him, and with a "crash", red flags were erected every ten feet on the city wall.
Countless archers began to climb the city gate and stood at the designated position where the quiver was hung.
In an instant, the archers from the second battalion of bows and arrows lined up in three rows, with more than a thousand people. Once the battle started, they would cross-shoot and shoot in turns.
Hundreds more infantrymen carrying large shields ran up and stood beside the archers. Han You and others also occupied two of them.
Zhou Tong finally did something. He took the shield from the infantryman next to him and stood tightly beside Han You.
Before leaving the capital, Lao Ba told him that Han You was missing a hair, so he would break off one of Can Gui's fingers. The fingers would no longer stick out to the toes, and the toes would no longer stick out to other places, wherever they were longer.
Han You stretched out his head and glanced down. He felt that the court was still stingy. The Nanguan City Wall was not considered high. This was because he had the final say. If he had the final say, he would build a Sichuan Bao Happy Wall.
Han You was still a little nervous at first. He looked left and right and saw that everyone present was calm and composed. Even the grassroots troops, no one showed fear on their faces and did not show any uneasiness due to the large number of enemy troops. Emotions.
The Xuan slaves pushing various siege engines kept moving forward while shouting slogans.
Han You frowned, thinking that he should change his habit, from greeting Zhou Xiao's family on a daily basis to greeting Zhou Tianfeng's family on a daily basis.
There are many kinds of siege engines, including eleven.
The churang cart, also called the rush cart, does not mean rushing on the cart, but a wooden four-wheel cart with a simple structure that is pushed forward.
Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty made an annotation of the churro in the book "Sun Tzu". The churron was a four-wheeled cart made of large logs. It was covered with rawhide and could accommodate ten people. It cannot be hurt. It is what is called a wooden donkey today.
The large logs lined up on the car can ensure that the top can withstand the impact of boulders, and the animal skins covering it can protect the logs fixed by thick ropes.
In addition to car charging, there are also car crashes. This kind of car crash is relatively common. A huge ramming bar is hung with a rope on the frame. The iron is covered with wood. The top is also called a rib, and the coat is made of hard leather. During the siege, there are more than a dozen or dozens of numbers. The person pulls back, and after reaching a certain position, he uses inertia to collide and hit the city gate.
There are also skills in using this kind of collision. Because of the reaction force, collision cannot be done with maximum force every time. According to the structure, strength and thickness of the door, sometimes it is heavy, sometimes light, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
The largest one was a cloud ladder, with logs tied together as the base. There were three rows of wooden wheels underneath, and two ladders on top, each more than two feet long. It was extremely heavy. Once it reached the thick wall, the defenders would not be able to push it away with manpower. .
Where there is offense, there is defense, and where there are walls, there are siege engines. The Han people call those barbarian aliens who do not know their composition savages. It does not mean that they are really like the savages in ancient times, holding wooden sticks every day. Fight with dinosaurs.
When we harassed the border in the past, although there were no siege engines such as churrons and rams, there were still quite a few ladders.
This kind of ladder was also the most troublesome for the border troops. Xuannu hid behind the guard wood hung with thick animal skins. It was difficult for archers to shoot them, and it was also difficult to prevent the ladder from approaching the city wall.
Seeing that these siege engines were pushed a mile away, Han You couldn't help but look at Ren Canglin.
The old coach is the old coach, immovable as a mountain, and so are others.
The archers pulled their long bows slightly, holding their breath and concentrating, then slowly released their fingers, and their arrows flashing with cold light were ready to harvest human lives at any time.
The sound of war drums came from the enemy's rear, one sound faster than the other, and one sound louder than the other.
It was Han You's first time seeing such a battle, so he was inevitably nervous.
Ren Canglin laughed loudly and looked at Han You: "You are lucky to have seen such a scene when you first came here."
Han You laughed dryly, thank you.
"I thought the enemy thieves were going to delay for a while longer. Well, then let me show you the bravery of our Confederate army."
Ren Canglin held the hilt of the sword at his waist, his somewhat cloudy eyes shone with light, and he shouted: "Beat the drum!"
