Chapter 246 Liu Cheng Is a Tough Man

The son of the Xiongnu Shanyu, that is, Liu Bao personally stepped forward to supervise the battle.

As soon as Liu Bao came, the soldiers of the Huns immediately cheered up.

"kill!"

"Let me charge forward!" The Xiongnu soldiers waved their scimitars and charged forward continuously.

Like a stormy sea crashing against the shore, the densely packed Huns soldiers really made the minds of those who watched them dizzy.

Since the Xiongnu soldiers were less than three hundred steps away from the city wall, the power of the catapult was greatly reduced at this distance, and the ballista simply lost its effect.

However, the reduced power of the catapults and crossbows did not mean that the defenders on the city wall had nothing to do with the charging prairie barbarians.

Heavy weapons are useless, what about light weapons?
Catapults and bed crossbows are useless, and there are countless crossbows!
Yu Jin waved the long sword in his hand, and immediately shouted: "The crossbowmen are ready!"

"Fire arrows!"

Following Yu Jin's order, Cao Jun's crossbowmen raised their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at the Xiongnu soldiers and Xianbei soldiers under the city wall and shooting them.

Bow and arrow, this is a sharp weapon for the defensive side.

Because the defending side is standing on the city wall, the top of the city wall is condescending, and he can cover the attacking troops under the city wall.

It can be said that the entire city wall is within the shooting range of the defenders on the city wall. Except for the poor round shield in their hands, they have no defensive measures at all.

"Whizzing."

The rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun tore through the sky, and shot towards the Xiongnu under the city, Xianbei.

This shooting method no longer needs to be aimed, because it is a covering shooting.

There is a saying that is called poor precision strikes, rich fire coverage.

Today's Prime Minister Cao has already occupied half of the Han Dynasty. Compared with these grassland barbarians, he is naturally the richer side.

The heavy rain poured down, and Xianbei and the Xiongnu allied forces under the city couldn't lift their heads after being shot.

He could only hold the round shield and wooden shield in his hand, and rushed forward bravely.

Fortunately, there are enough Xiongnu and Xianbei coalition forces, and there will always be someone who can rush to the city wall under the rain of arrows.

Soon, a ladder was built on the city wall. The Xiongnu soldiers below the city held a shield in one hand to block the arrows shot down from the wall, while holding the ladder in the other hand, they quickly climbed up.

As more and more ladders were erected on the city wall, at this time, the power of the bow and arrow would be much smaller.

However, there are short-range lethal weapons as well.

The long-range lethal weapons are catapults and bed crossbows, and the medium-range lethal weapons are various bows and arrows.

So, what is this short-range lethal weapon?

The answer is Thunder Stone Rolling Wood and Golden Juice.

Thunder Stone Rolling Logs are huge stones and logs.

The soldiers of Cao Jun in the city saw that there were Huns soldiers densely packed on the ladder, so they raised the big stones they had prepared in advance, and smashed them with logs towards the ladder.

After the big stone was thrown down, a loud bang was heard, and the Xiongnu soldiers on the ladder fell from above like dumplings.

At this height, if you are dropped from the top of the ladder, you can only hear "Ouch", and this life is considered to be over.

In addition, many soldiers came to the edge of the city wall with mouthfuls of boiling hot cauldrons.

Inside the cauldron was a thick, hot, and foul-smelling yellow liquid.

This thing is called golden juice.

If you want to say that in this siege operation, which weapon is the most lethal, it is definitely golden juice.

The power of bed crossbows and catapults is not as powerful as that of golden juice.

The most important thing is that the manufacturing cost of this thing is extremely low, it can almost be said to be free of money, and it can be produced and sold by itself.

The golden juice is to use human excrement, urine, or animal excrement, urine, these things are mixed together to boil boiling hot, and then poured directly from the city wall.

This thing can be called a biochemical weapon in the Three Kingdoms period.

If you are poured hot golden juice on your body, you will be scalded immediately.

The most important thing is that there are bacteria in it!

Even in the modern age of the 21st century, burns are a very difficult problem.

Being scalded by golden juice, there was no condition for disinfection during the Three Kingdoms period, and it can almost be said to be fatal.

After the golden juice was scalded, even if you invited Hua Tuo, he could only shake his head looking at your injury.

Pots of golden juice were poured down one after another, and crowds of Huns and Xianbei were scalded by the golden juice and fell down from the ladder screaming.

Occasionally, one or two Huns, Xianbei people, after trying their best to climb the city wall, what awaited them was a Cao soldier holding a spear.

The Xiongnu and Xianbei soldiers who were just about to go up the city wall were confronted by a few sharp spears, stabbing them so coldly that their hearts were soaring.

The Huns and Wuhuan people on the ladder fell from the ladder to the city wall like dumplings.

However, no one was able to rush up the city wall.

As a well-known guard in Cao Ying, Yu Jin, the city wall he guarded was so airtight that there was no flaw at all.

Whether it was the line of defense attacked by the Huns or the line of defense attacked by the Xianbei, they were all impregnable, without any loosening.

This fight lasted for two hours, and the Xiongnu and Xianbei made no progress except for throwing countless corpses under the city wall.

It has been from noon to evening, and Yu Fuluo and Tan Shihuai are also discouraged.

However, the two of them pretended to be aggressive in front of Taton, and now they are embarrassed to go back after being slapped in the face.

In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and continue to attack.

Wuhuan Camp.

Looking at Wuhuan's side again, the big camp has been set up at this time, and cooking has begun.

Tadun Shanyu turned to Su Puyan and asked, "The two reckless Yu Fuluo and Tan Shihuai, are they still fighting?"

Su Puyan nodded, and replied: "It's still fighting, but there's no progress."

Ta Dun Shanyu nodded, everything was within his expectation.

Just make no progress!
If Cao Cao couldn't help fighting, why would he join forces with the Xiongnu and Xianbei to attack Youzhou?
If Cao Cao couldn't help fighting so much, Wuhuan would send troops by himself, wouldn't it be good to eat alone?
"How about the casualties?" Tadun Shanyu continued to ask Su Puyan.

Su Puyan also continued to answer: "Just sent someone to inquire, and more than [-] people were killed or injured."

In this first attack, the Xianbei and the Xiongnu each sent [-] troops to form a [-] coalition attack.

Now over [-] people have been killed or injured, which is almost half of the casualties.

This first battle, for the Xiongnu and Xianbei, can be said to have suffered heavy casualties.

However, this is good news for Tadun Shanyu.

Yu Fuluo and Tan Shihuai are too proud!
Only after letting them suffer a big loss, suffer a big somersault, and fall bloody, can they obediently listen to their own words.
