    Chapter 101 The bloody battle in Chang'an (2)

    Xiao Yu didn't know these things, but it was actually the Xiliang cavalry who killed Qubei's cavalry.  Zhang Fei and others were on their way back to Xiliang first, and happened to encounter Qu Bei leading three hundred of his men to loot and burn the village.  All the men in the village were killed, and some women were severely ravaged.

    That¡¯s not all, they tied the women¡¯s hands one by one with ropes and pulled them behind the horses.

    How can the Xiliang cavalry endure this scene?  At that moment, Zhang Fei led a thousand cavalry to eliminate Qubei.  None of the three hundred Huns soldiers who looted were killed.  Afterwards, Zhang Fei, who was still angry, ordered his men to peel off the bodies of the Huns soldiers and hang them on a tree as a punishment!

    It is true that the Huns are mostly cavalry and cannot attack cities.  But they have the advantage of numbers and hearts. The horses must be as good as the soldiers in Chang'an City!  Although the soldiers in Chang'an City had Yang Feng's orders to go ahead, there was still a group of people who didn't take it seriously and confused the morale of the army.  It wasn't until Yang Feng ordered that 200 people beheaded that they stopped.

    With eight hundred against more than three thousand people, it is impossible to win no matter how you look at it.  But the soldiers in Chang'an City have high walls!  The outcome is still undecided!

    "Brother! We are all cavalry. How can we attack Chang'an City, which is high and deep?" Hu Chuquan looked at Yu Fuluo who looked confident and asked.

    Yu Fuluo looked at his younger brother and cursed secretly.  Explained: "Do you think we Huns are unable to attack the city? Don't worry, you will not be in danger! I have made arrangements. If you have to do anything, then I, the Shanyu, will still come  What to do?"

    Hu Chuquan was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.  It seems that Yu Fuluo knew about his secret cultivation of power in the Xiongnu army.  The reason why Yu Fuluo didn't blame him was because only the strong could be a Chanyu in the Xiongnu. If a Chanyu couldn't even keep his own position, what else could he do to bring a happy life to the Xiongnu people?  "It seems that we have to be careful about him doing evil things to us in the future!" Hu Chuquan said to himself in his heart.

    The next day, at noon.

    The third-rank bodyguard Dian Wei and Yuanmen captain Xu Huang were both in armor. They hurried to Yang Feng's tent and said in a deep voice: "The Huns soldiers are coming!"

    The Xiongnu army lined up in a square formation like ants and surrounded Chang'an City in darkness. The siege divisions must be blocked, leaving the east gate alone without a garrison. Only the scraping of iron armor could be heard in the sky, and a few vultures were roared away.  The arriving Huns were frightened and became restless for a while. They had not circled a few times in the sky when suddenly there was a crisp sound of arrows, and the five vultures fell straight down without exception, and their feathers were scattered in the sky.

    "What's going on? Didn't the spies report that there were only three thousand Xiongnu troops? But it looks like there may be as many as six thousand!" Yang Feng took a breath and asked Xu Huang doubtfully.

    Xu Huang said loudly, "General, I am afraid that the Xiongnu soldiers were divided into several places to rob, and the spies did not detect other Xiongnu soldiers. So"

    "I know, pull down the chief scout and beat him with forty military sticks!"

    "yes!"

    The Huns have only one thousand infantry, and the remaining five thousand are almost all cavalry, and the Chinese army has not seen them yet.  I saw three brigades of 1,000 people surrounding the city, stretched into an arc like a full bow. With the sound of blaring, the brigades of 1,000 people moved in a rigorous and orderly manner, like waves of wheat blown by the wind.

    Xiao Yu looked at his heart and was slightly surprised. If he were in Xiliang, even if he only had 200 people, he would not be afraid when facing these 6,000 troops. After all, the elite cavalry under his command were invincible, and in the desert, when the two armies met,  If the difference in strength is too great and the enemy cannot defeat him, he still has a trick: escape.

    Now that it was a battle to defend the city, the situation was different. He did not have a clear understanding of the Xiongnu's combat effectiveness.  Although Xiao Yu once sent Zhao Yun and Chen Bing to the border where the Xiongnu and Xiliang handed over, they never really fought on a large scale!  Regarding this war, he could neither know himself nor the enemy well, so he inevitably had some doubts in his heart.

    Yang Feng, holding a sword, stood side by side with Xiao Yu on the city wall. He stood up and looked under the city wall. His brows were furrowed, obviously he was not confident enough.

    "General Yang, this is the time for you to prove your ability!" Xiao Yu said loudly when he saw Yang Feng like this.

    "Dang¡ª¡ª!" Xiao Yu's voice was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, waking Yang Feng up instantly.  Looking at Xiao Yu's concerned eyes, Yang Feng said awkwardly: "General Zhenxi, don't worry, I will let the Huns know how powerful our Han army is!"

    Yang Fengqiang calmed down, drew his sword, and ordered: Get ready!

    The oil pan, rolling stones, logs, repeating crossbows, horses, suspension bridges, and arrow stacks are all in place.

    Especially for kerosene, after General Yang Feng suffered losses when defending the city in his early years, he sought help from craftsmen in the city. He mixed the kerosene with sediment, a small amount of water and other impurities, so that the kerosene would not hold up well in the pot.  ??, but when it was sprinkled down ladle after ladle, the power was ten times greater, and it was like an explosion.  He also learned the method of "golden juice" from Xiao Yu, cooking it with the feces of healthy children and the "old stuff" from the stables. This thing is not expensive, but the people of Chang'an are willing to part with it. It is also extremely powerful and highly safe.  , although it is not as intimidating as kerosene, but it is capable of injuring the enemy without any hesitation.

    In addition, after learning from the previous experience of Xiongnu soldiers charging into the city, Yang Feng followed Xiao Yu's advice and chose a combination of arms, that is, archers combined with broadsword soldiers, crossbowmen, spearmen, and miscellaneous soldiers.  The miscellaneous soldiers threw rolling stones, logs, kerosene, and gold juice to injure the enemy. The archers blocked the Xiongnu vanguard cavalry with arrows. The crossbowmen were too expensive, so they only used repeating crossbows as a buffer between the archers to change arrows. The spearmen destroyed their ladders.  The broadsword is used to prevent close combat.

    More than two hundred cauldrons filled with kerosene were lined up at a distance of three to four feet, with arrows and soldiers in the middle, making it extremely crowded. The entire city of Chang'an seemed to be covered with a huge halo, and thick smoke rose into the sky.  When they rise, the color of heaven and earth has changed before they fight.

    The Huns soldiers began to move. A team of thousands was divided into ten teams of hundreds, and they began to advance in coordination. The most important thing for the Huns soldiers was bow and arrow shooting and horse fighting. At this time, the only way to attack the city was through the pressure of archers, ladders, and chariots.  , fire bombs poured in from all directions towards the head of Chang'an City, and the offensive was extremely frightening.

    Yu Fuluo spent a lot of effort to get the ladders and rams he brought this time from Li Jue and Guo Si who fled to Bingzhou.

    The Xiongnu soldiers attacked from all sides, and the battle line on Chang'an City stretched extremely long. On the top of Chang'an City, kerosene, stone, wood, and gold juice fell like raindrops on the city. There was a wailing in the city, but there were very few casualties on the city head. It was a joint force.  The role of the enemy was brought into play, and the two armies fell into a stalemate.

    Yang Feng's ability has been greatly enriched by his experience in defending the city. He can arrange the war in an orderly manner without Xiao Yu's suggestions. However, as the battle line grows, he can no longer take care of it alone. Yang Feng orders Xu Huang and Xiao Yu orders Dian Wei to be in charge.  The post of deputy general is divided into guarding the west and south gates. Xiao Yu holds the Overlord Halberd tightly and guards the north gate. Yang Feng sits in charge of the central army and coordinates the coordination.

    In the afternoon of the battle, the two thousand-man troops of the Huns began to alternate. There were too few troops in Chang'an City, so they all went into battle from the beginning. After fighting for an afternoon, morale was already very low, but the Chang'an soldiers took advantage of the location and cooperated, and continued to fight.  The Huns were not allowed to attack the city, and the number of casualties on both sides was not large. However, a lot of kerosene burned at the top of Chang'an City.

    Gradually, the sun set in the west, and the fire at the top of Chang'an City began to grow dim. In the Xiongnu army formation, the Chinese army suddenly appeared in front. Under the white wolf-head banner, it was the Xiongnu Chanyu Fuluo.  At this time, Yu Fuluo was dressed in fine armor, surrounded by two thousand-man troops and protected by the most elite cavalry. He was not far away, not close, and just a stone's throw away from the head of Chang'an City.

    Yu Fuluo suddenly reined in his horse's head, bent his bow and drew the string. He fired a dynamite and went straight to the city of Chang'an. The two thousand cavalrymen under him immediately drew their bows to full length, waiting for an order.

    "Report" A general in Chang'an City went straight to the Chinese army's tent.

    "Report to the general, the Huns have shot a roll of cloth."

    "read!"

    A guard beside Yang Feng took the cloth.  Read on.  Before he finished reading, the faces of the guards around Yang Feng turned green. On the contrary, Yang Feng had a calm face, as if he had been mentally prepared.  Yang Feng didn't say a word. He was stunned for a while and said, "Go back home for now."
