"There is an ambush! Protect the prince!" As soon as a general beside King Chen took out the sword from his waist, he was shot in the throat by an arrow and fell off his horse.
King Chen was startled. He turned around and saw a white-robed general bending his bow and arrow, aiming at the general beside him.
Every time the white-robed general shoots an arrow, a general falls down beside him. It can be said that every arrow pierces the Yangtze with a hundred steps.
"There are such fierce generals in southern Xinjiang?" King Chen's eyes widened. This arrow technique was so accurate.
"Wang Shao, didn't you say that all the Xuanjia troops went to fight against the Xiongnu? Where did these Xuanjia troops come from? This king has suffered a lot from you this time!" King Xiang pointed at King Chen and roared.
"Why the hell did I harm you? I didn't force you to come here. Instead of barking here, you might as well run away!"
King Chen didn't care about anything else, turned his horse's head and ran towards Tongzhou.
When Xue Rengui saw King Chen running away, he immediately pulled out the Fangtian painted halberd on the ground and chased after him: "Your Majesty has an order to capture King Chen of Xiang alive and kill him!"
King Xiang's face was pale at this time, with no blood at all. He panicked and fell off his horse before he could run very far. His whole body was shaking with fear.
The two kings' troops were mainly infantry, with only a few thousand cavalry. In addition, this was a plain area, and the two kings' team was too long to be able to gather together for a while.
Being charged like this by the Xuanjia Army, the two kings' 200,000-strong army abandoned their armor and just ran away without any resistance. The battlefield soon became a one-sided massacre!
Before King Xiang could react as he was slumped on the ground, he was knocked unconscious by a punch from Qianhu of the Xuanjia Army. He was tied up and thrown on the horse's back.
After a while, Xue Rengui also returned holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, holding the unconscious King Chen in his hand.
"Your Majesty has an order. No intruders should be left alive. The entire army should disperse with flags as units!"
Xue Rengui gave an order, and the Xuanjia army immediately dispersed, with fifty people under one banner, and began to hunt down the fleeing enemy troops.
On the hilltop in the distance, the old eunuch Qiu Jing on horseback slowly stopped. Looking at the battlefield below, Qiu Jing couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Fortunately, in order to avoid anyone obstructing his journey to southern Xinjiang to deliver the message, he took the mountain road instead of the official road, otherwise he would have died in the rebel army.
Unexpectedly, King Xiang and King Chen secretly withdrew their troops and actually had the idea of Southern Xinjiang. Fortunately, Southern Xinjiang was well prepared and ambushed the two kings here.
The black-armored cavalry must be the Xuanjia Army. They are indeed a majestic and elite division. If the imperial court can get the help of this army, they will definitely be able to compete with King Zhenhu.
Looking at the endless mountain road ahead, Qiu Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued moving forward.
As the general manager of the Imperial Household, he has a long way to go to southern Xinjiang to deliver the decree. He just doesn't know if Su Che is willing to send troops north.
Thinking of the new emperor Shiliu, Qiu Jing couldn't help but sigh. He had watched Wang Shiliu grow up. This girl had really suffered a lot. He hoped that Su Che would not let her down!
…
As night fell, there was silence on the Tianmenguan city wall.
The Huns' 40,000 vanguard troops had already taken advantage of the night to slowly move over, and they were less than 400 meters away from the Tianmenguan city wall.
Tuoba Hu looked up at Tianmen Pass, and couldn't help but smile. There was no movement at all on the top of the city.
I'm afraid that the young prince won the battle and is still holding a celebration banquet at this time, right? As expected, Chanyu is as good at predicting events as he is!
For hundreds of years, the Huns have never crossed the Tianmen Pass. Tonight is the moment when Tuoba Hu becomes famous in his battle!
"The arrows pierced the night sky and made a sound of "whoosh! Whoosh!"
Just when Tuoba Hu was daydreaming about how many women he would rob after breaking the barrier, a sound broke through the air.
Before Tuoba Hu could react, the soldiers around him fell to the ground. A closer look revealed that these soldiers were all covered with arrows.
At the same time, bonfires were lit on the walls of Tianmen Pass, lighting up the entire land, and the 40,000 Huns soldiers were completely exposed to the rain of arrows.
"Has it been discovered?"
Tuoba Hu gritted his teeth, so what if he was discovered, he would definitely break through Tianmen Pass today!
"Come on, if anyone breaks into Tianmen Pass, I will reward him with eight women!"
For a moment, the Huns soldiers rushed towards Tianmen Pass as if they were crazy!
Behind the 40,000 Xiongnu vanguard troops was the neatly arranged main force of the Xiongnu. At this time, they were also approaching Tianmen Pass.
Just as Jiang Wei expected, the Xiongnu planned to attack with all their troops and storm Tianmen Pass!
The gate of heaven was closed, and Su Che looked at the Hun soldiers rushing towards him like a tide, without any mercy on his face.
At this time, in addition to the crossbowmen who were constantly shooting, 30,000 heavily armored Euphorbia warriors had already climbed onto the city wall, and the rest were on standby in the city, ready to fill the gaps at any time.
The Hun soldiers outside the city were poorly equipped, and some even had no weapons. They rushed forward with a wooden stick.
Su Che knew that the Xiongnu used the few equipment they had on their cavalry, and it would be nice for these infantrymen to have a sword.
With such a configuration, even if the Euphorbia stood and chopped down for these people, it would take several days and nights, right?
Su Che really couldn't understand, how could he lose this battle?
Seeing the Xiongnu soldiers pushing the siege truck, Su Che quickly shouted: "Liao Hua, you are responsible for guarding the city gate with 10,000 Euphorbia soldiers."
"General, I obey!" Liao Hua knelt down to accept the order and hurried away.
Although Su Che had 5,000 crossbowmen and artifacts like the Zhuge Liannu, there were still many Huns who rushed under the city wall despite the large number of them and their fearlessness of death.
With the support of these Xiongnu soldiers, the siege vehicle quickly arrived outside the city gate. The Xiongnu soldiers quickly held their shields and began to hit the city gate with the logs of the siege vehicle.
Although the city gate had been reinforced, it could not withstand the impact of the logs. In less than half an hour, the city gate was knocked open.
Seeing that the city gate was wide open, the Hun cavalry in the rear immediately launched a charge and rushed into the city gate, while the infantry climbed up the ladder and planned to occupy the city wall.
However, Liao Hua had been waiting behind the city gate for a long time. The moment the city gate broke through, the Euphorbia soldiers formed a formation to attack it. The first batch of Huns cavalry who rushed in were immediately stabbed to the point where they fell on their backs, and screams could not be heard.
Just like before, when the Hun cavalry attacked the Euphorbia phalanx head-on, they were like moths flying into a flame, completely losing their lives.
There were more and more corpses piled up at the city gate, and the ground was dyed red with blood. The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, and people were dying every moment.
The infantry who climbed up the ladder were not much better. The Euphorbia warriors had three-meter-long halberds in their hands. The Huns soldiers were stabbed down as soon as they climbed onto the city wall, and even the Euphorbia warriors' hair was not touched.
This scene was naturally seen by Kerber.
He saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, why was this stupid Euphorbia so difficult to deal with?
Just when Kerbo was at a loss what to do, the camp behind him suddenly burst into flames, and the fire jumped dozens of meters.
Kerber was suddenly startled, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
