One moment, the Huns were leading the siege plan. Within a few days, the Han army was heading north to seek a decisive battle. King Zuo Xian's main force of 40,000 cavalry faced the threat of the main force of 120,000 Han troops. His ten  The 20,000-strong army was distributed among the three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Shanggu. With 40,000 troops there was no chance of winning against 120,000 troops, so he retreated to the north of Kouzi without hesitation.  ~ Tian Fu was very proud for a few days. Although his initiative to seek fighter opportunities failed, he successfully achieved his goal of driving away the Xiongnu army.  But he didn't expect that the Huns were leaving as fast as they were coming. The Huns who had just left went south again, and the Huns cavalry that came back was even larger. The main force of the Great Chanyu came from the north. The combined main force was about two  One hundred thousand Huns cavalry came overwhelmingly to kill them. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? On the top of the city, the Han army was waiting in full formation. The prefect Guan Fu silently stared at the bright red flag. The Huns were wearing red uniforms and red flags. They wore tattoos on their hair. They were unfilial to their parents and put their bravery first, just like animals.  The Han people look down on the barbarism and stupidity of the Huns, but they will not underestimate the power of the Huns army. Especially when the Huns appear in Yanmen County, even the arrogant and rude Yanmen prefect must deal with it carefully.  The more than 10,000 defenders in Shanwu City are not without support. The 120,000 Han army camps on the hillside ten miles south of the city are at the horns of each other. It is not that simple for the Huns to attack the city.  "Are the Huns planning to attack the city?" Guan Fu keenly sensed something was wrong.  Seeing the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu for the first time, he was muttering to himself that this Huns were really different.  In the past, when encountering the Xiongnu army, they would not have a neat military appearance. Perhaps this was their special skill of stealing from the Han army.  A group of Huns riding gorgeous armors rushed out of the dark military formation.  He ran towards the gate of Zenwu City, getting faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the closed city gate.  The Han troops at the top of the city were more and more surprised, thinking that the Huns must have lost their minds and gone crazy. Using cavalry to hit the city gate was tantamount to hanging someone seeking death.  When the cavalry was less than a stone's throw away from the city, the Hun warrior took out his bow from nowhere and raised three arrows to attack the Han general on the tower.     careful!  Guan Fu felt a warning sign in his heart, and before he had time to react, he was pushed down by two personal guards.  Three sharp arrows landed on the pillars behind Guan Fu. If it weren't for the personal guards beside him, they would have caught him in time.  Guan Fu's little life might be decided here. What's even more unbelievable is that the arrow was tied with a silk war letter.  The message is written in Chinese characters, and the ancient official script is very sloppy. I can barely understand the general meaning. The Xiongnu Great Chanyu said that the heavy snow last year made the Huns unable to eat, and they needed to go to the pastures of the Han brothers to eat. Afterwards, they would be compensated with one million.  Sheep and so on.  "You bastard, this nonsense makes no sense!" Guan Fu wanted to tear the memorandum into pieces. The Huns were using bandit logic.  I am poor, so I will rob you, and you are rich, so I will rob you. Regardless of your hard work or other factors, I will rob you.  The horn sounded.  In one moment, thousands of sheepskin drums were deafening.  The Huns messenger returned to his original place.  The Huns were preparing to attack the city.  "What? You said there are siege equipment in the Huns camp?" At the Han army camp ten miles away, Tian Fu looked around anxiously with his telescope, never expecting that the Huns also had siege techniques.  What's even more disgusting is that the siege technology came from Wei's North Korea, and the Han army's sudden betrayal and betrayal disrupted their position.  Tian Fu finally realized how difficult the situation was, even though he was ten miles away.  You can still hear clearly the sound of the drums and trumpets of the Xiongnu army that shook the heaven and earth.  The black crowd suddenly erupted and launched a desperate attack on the isolated city standing on the plain. Tian Fu's limbs became weak with shock. His usual calm posture of dropping his book bag in front of the emperor disappeared. Bei stood in front of the camp gate.  The military captains all looked solemn.  In the south of Shanwu City, the Wubao lined up one after another were swallowed up and chewed by the Xiongnu army. Occasionally, you can hear the loud sound of siege rams hitting the city gates amidst the sound of military drums. Thousands of Huns cavalry drove them  Riders holding bows and arrows attacked Shanmu Castle one after another. Shining blades could be faintly seen in the dark crowd. The flashes of light one after another heralded the fierce fighting.  The scene before me was the small war mentioned a few months ago, an invasion war in which the Huns came to steal food.  On another hilltop a few miles away from the Han army camp, Cao Shi put down his telescope: "War is unusually cruel, and reality is also unusually cruel., welcome to the real world, Taiwei Tian Fu.  ¡± Since the emergence of life, the battle between species has never stopped. In order to inherit blood genes, each species is fighting and gambling desperately in the state of nature. Human beings are the most successful species created by nature, and they are also the best at it.  Fighting species. From cooperative hunting of animals to cooperative killing of similar species, with the evolution of human organizational forms, larger-scale battles and more rigorous military command have emerged. This is the big devil unleashed by humans, war.  The Huns are a country of brothers and strong opponents who respect each other. When they have a fierce conflict with each other, the two sides will not hesitate to fight against each other. It is said that brothers are enemies of each other, not to mention the relationship between superficial brothers and old enemies.  Arrows fell like rain below the city. The royal cavalry used their excellent archery skills to prove that they were the pride of heaven on the grassland. The dead Han soldiers on the city top were quickly pulled off the battlements. The brave Han people were never afraid of the threat of arrow rain.  , even though they were severely wounded, they still gritted their teeth and cocked their arrows. There were so many Huns cavalry, they were so densely packed under the city that you couldn't see them at a glance. They were even so dense that as long as you could draw the bow and draw the arrow, you could hit someone.  Under the same circumstances, the Han soldiers fired arrows at will on the city to kill the enemy, but the Huns had to look up and aim to kill one by one. The difficulty of the two sides was different, but from the perspective of the scene, the losses were similar.  , there are dozens of times more sharp archers than the Han army. The supplementary Han army killed a few miscellaneous fish and the main Xiongnu force without any loss. The strongest royal cavalry cruised on the edge of the best range, and could only be killed when the target was selected.  Only then would they slightly exceed the optimal killing distance. This kind of vitality suppression put great pressure on the Han army. Guan Fu immediately gave the order, and the tung oil and rosin erected on the top of the city fell down. The Hun cavalry climbing up the ladder were hit by the tung oil.  When he slipped and fell, dozens of large barrels of tung oil spilled down, causing huge chaos to the Huns' siege troops. The pungent smell made many prairie warriors retching. Standing under the banner of the Golden Wolf King, Zhao She glanced at him.  Tong You came down calmly, and the faces of Bank of China and Wei Youqu who were standing next to him changed rapidly. Of course they recognized the legendary city defense weapon, but before they could speak in a hurry, they were preempted: "No!  That's tung oil!  " Military minister Shan Yu turned his head in confusion: "Mr. Zhao, what kind of oil is that?  " "Tung oil!  Combustible tung oil!  " Zhongxing said that Wei Youqu jumped up and shouted: "Hurry up and give the order, everyone to retreat!  " "It's too late!  "Looking from a distance, hundreds of torches on the top of the city fell into the black army below the city, and hundreds of clusters of flames shot up into the sky. "In the blazing flames, there was a personal figure, the Huns whose whole body was covered with fire.  People struggled, rolled, and kept wailing. The flames continued to spread along the crowd. A drop of tung oil on the Hun cavalry wearing leather armor and felt robes would cause fire to spread all over their bodies. After just a few dozen breaths, they looked at Shan Wu's castle.  The army was filled with thousands of flaming men who were constantly struggling and jumping. Horses are very afraid of fire. When tung oil splashed on the horses, a horse covered in fire started to hit wildly. The living Huns were frightened and turned pale.  The brave horses were frightened and retreated repeatedly when they saw the appearance of the same kind. The morale of the Huns cavalry dropped from the clouds. The sound of the sheepskin drums gradually fell silent again. The Huns turned their horses and did not look back.  Walking back, leaving behind the broken corpses that were burnt to black. The scene just now was so shocking that it lingered in the hearts of every Huns like a nightmare. They were anxious to escape back and leave this terrible place.  Nightmare Land ¡°Good opportunity!  Tian Fu jumped up and shouted: "Order the three armies to go out to pursue the main force of Shanyu, the minister. We must defeat the Huns in one go!"  "(The novel "The Great Han Liehou" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lucky draw gift for everyone!
