Fufeng Song

When Lu Yao attacked the enemy twice with a small force, Jiexiu City ushered in the fourth day of the siege.

The person in charge of besieging Jiexiu City was General Hu Yanyan.The general title of the General Zhenglu is a bit strange, because the Huns are what are usually called "Hulu", and the so-called General Zhenglu seems to be conquering himself.

Hu Yanyan is the youngest brother of Han Wang Liu Yuan's wife. He is 34 years old and has a very high status in the Han court.When Liu Yuanfan went to war, he often served as the deputy commander of the whole army.Although he is not a fierce general with a white blade, he has a calm personality and a seasoned use of troops.On the day the Xiongnu army crossed the Queshu Valley, he led an army of about 2 people to surround Jiexiu on all sides.

On the first day, the Xiongnu used countless carts to carry the soil, trying to fill up the moat.Although Jiexiu's defenders were condescending and their arrows were like locusts, the soldiers of the Xiongnu army were brave enough to dump earth and rocks into the moat one after another.Sometimes the soldiers pushing carts in the front row were shot by arrows and moved slowly.The soldiers in the back row ignored them and pushed the people in the front row and the car into the river.

Rao Lu Chang has experienced hundreds of battles, and this is the first time he has encountered such an army that is willing to sacrifice their lives.Seeing that the situation was not good, he repeatedly dispatched elite troops to beat down the city from hiding places to harass the progress of the Xiongnu's river reclamation.However, Hu Yanyan was already prepared. Ling Xiao led Liu Yin to lead [-] elite cavalry to patrol around the city. Once he encountered the Jin army, he would immediately hunt and kill them.Lu Chang lost several troops one after another, so he could only watch the Huns fill the river.By sundown, Jiexiu's moat had been completely filled.

From the next day, the Xiongnu aggressively attacked the city.The terrain outside Jiexiu City is complex, with the pass guarding the Queshu Valley in the southwest, Mianshan Mountain in the southeast, and continuous swamps in the north of the city. Only the west of the city is open and suitable for soldiers.The main force of the Huns attacking the city was concentrated on the west wall, and the east was supported.

In charge of attacking the west of the city was General Wu Ya's Liu Qin's troops.Wearing heavy armor, Liu Qin came to the front line in person, and all the soldiers died bravely. For a while, there were ladders standing like a forest, and thousands of Hu warriors climbed to the city wall amidst deafening shouts.In addition, there were hundreds of people pushing crude carts and slamming into the gate of the city. Afterwards, thousands of people rushed to try, and they rushed into the city once the gate was broken.

However, although Jiexiu is small, it is extremely strong.After Lu Chang served as the city guard, he worked hard on the construction of the city defense, and all kinds of defense equipment were well prepared.The defenders pushed down the ladders one by one with a pole several feet long.When the Huns tried to re-erect the ladder, the defenders beat them with a mass of rolling logs and rocks.The defenders stationed at the city gate pushed down the boiling oil and a large amount of firewood and hay, and then threw down the flaming torch.All the carts were burned one after another, and even the soldiers pushing the carts were burned to death.

After a fierce battle for a long time, the two sides came and went, and the initiative on the battlefield changed hands several times.After all, there were too many Xiongnu troops, and finally forced a city wall of the Jin army to be weakly guarded, and dozens of soldiers successfully boarded the city.These blades are the pioneers selected from the [-] Xiongnu. They are not only proficient in martial arts, but also the most fierce and brave.Once they turned over the top of the city, they immediately slashed and killed, covering the successor team to keep up.

The Jin army near the crenel suffered heavy casualties. At this time, there was only one Shichang and a few soldiers left, but they were surrounded by more than ten Hu people.In a blink of an eye, several soldiers were hacked to death with random knives.Although Na Shichang was strong and strong, he could not hold on for a while; he couldn't stand the barbarians' swords at the same time, he was cut in the stomach, and his intestines flowed out.Shi Chang let out a wry laugh, jumped up suddenly, and carried a Hu soldier into the city wall.All I could hear was the Hu soldiers roaring loudly, followed by a muffled thud.

The person in charge of guarding this entire section of the city is an officer named Jin Chong.The surname Jin is very rare. According to Jin Chong himself, it originated from the surname Ji, which came from the family of Jin Bao, a doctor in the Western Zhou Dynasty.Some people really believe this statement, just because the forbidden pet is born with a good appearance, fair skin and beautiful appearance, and looks like a nobleman of the family.

In fact, it is not the case. Although the Jin family is indeed an ancient surname, there are no people from the Jin Chong lineage. For several generations, they are all farmers with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky, guarding dozens of acres of Susukida to spend their days.A few years ago, his hometown was plundered by rebels and turned into ruins. He himself was forcibly conscripted into the army, and then fought in various places. He did not know how many battles he fought.

Seeing that the city defense was breached at this moment, the forbidden pet rushed to rescue it.The general rushed to the crenel, and the group of Hu warriors came like wolves and tigers. The first one waved a mace weighing about tens of catties, and smashed the Jin soldiers' tendons and bones.

The weapon that Ban Chong took advantage of had long since broken, and now he was holding a pair of swords and shields that he picked up just now.Seeing that the enemy was coming fiercely, he raised the iron shield in his left hand to block it.With a loud bang, most of the mace's huge power was removed, and it flew obliquely.The empty door on the chest of the Hu warrior opened wide.The forbidden pet sneered, and stabbed with the dagger in his right hand, intending to punish that barbarian.In the blink of an eye, the barbarian only had time to stretch out his hand to block his chest, but the short knife pierced through his palm.

Unexpectedly, this aroused the savage energy of the barbarians instead, amidst the howling screams like howling wolves, the barbarian warrior grabbed the palm of the forbidden pet with a knife, and pulled it back suddenly.The banned pet couldn't stand, and was pulled out of balance.He was kicked up by a barbarian and hit him in the stomach.The forbidden pet let out a miserable snort, his eyes suddenly popped out, and he bent over and fell to the ground.The barbarian then kicked again, kicking the forbidden pet several feet away, blood gushing from the mouth.

The officer leading the team was murdered as soon as they met each other, and the soldiers of the Jin army couldn't help but loosen their positions.The Hu warriors advanced bravely and became entangled with the Jin army. Hundreds of people crowded into the narrow city head to hand-to-hand, blood splattered everywhere, and screams one after another.All the Hu soldiers under the city cheered loudly, and the soldiers attacked even more fiercely.

Huya General Liu Qin also came to the city to beat drums to help the battle, and even sent all the guards to the front line.In a blink of an eye, the drums urging the battle rang out all day long, dozens of ladders were densely erected in this section of the city wall, and countless soldiers desperately climbed up.Jiexiu City is in danger!

At the critical moment, another Jin army came to rescue.The first person was Lu Chang, the guard of Jiexiu.The general went into battle in person, which was really different from others.Surrounded by a dozen soldiers on the left and right, he did not use weapons, but held a large shield in both hands, protecting Lu Chang at the core.Lu Chang strode forward with two quiveres hanging from his left and right waists, and in his hand was a big bow nearly one person tall.Seeing that the enemy was not far away, Lu Chang shouted loudly: "Look at the arrow!"

The bow is like a full moon, and the arrow is like a shooting star!

I saw arrows shooting out one after another, as if they were connected into a silver thread.The Hun warrior was retreating at the moment, grinning and bandaging the wound on his palm. Before he had time to react, an arrow passed through the crowd, pierced through his wide-open mouth, and pierced the back of his neck. .The Hun warrior struggled a few times with his limbs and fell to the ground.

Not to mention the Huns in front of the battle line, after Lu Chang's first arrow shot over the head of the warrior, the second arrow went straight into the eyebrow of a soldier with an axe; The ground was nailed to the crenel; the fourth arrow shot into another soldier's left eye and went out from the back of his head.Four arrows in a row shot down four Huns warriors. At this time, the other Huns just reacted, shouted in unison, and went to kill Lu Chang.

Lu Chang stood firm and did not retreat an inch.All the Huns who approached him were shot by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.But in a blink of an eye, all the pioneers were killed, and the morale of the Xiongnu army was depressed.

The imminent danger has been relieved, but Lu Chang does not rest for a while.He stood proudly on the top of the city, and under the cover of the shield bearer, he shot at the Hun officers below the city one by one.Every time an arrow is fired, a Hun officer must die in misery.

It is not that there are no good archers in the Xiongnu army, and some archers immediately shot back.But from the bottom up, the shooting range is not as good as the strong bow in Lu Chang's hand; second, it is really not as accurate as Lu Chang's shooting skills;Therefore, the siege team of nearly a thousand people was unexpectedly suppressed by Lu Chang alone.The Huns suffered heavy casualties above the senior level, and the organization of the entire army was in chaos.The soldiers who were at a loss what to do first hesitated, and then retreated like a tide.

The soldiers of the Jin army repaired the dead and wounded Xiongnu soldiers one by one at the top of the city, and then threw them into the city.Every time a corpse was dropped, cheers erupted in the city.

Before the cheers fell, the horns were loudly raised, and another wave of Xiongnu siege troops swarmed up.Hu Yanyan undoubtedly intends to use the continuous offensive to drag down the defenders, so he doesn't consider the loss, but just urges the soldiers to attack the city repeatedly.

The extremely tragic offensive and defensive battle lasted for two full days, even late at night.More than 20 consecutive waves of siege troops failed under Jiexiu City.Both above and below the city were dead and wounded, and corpses piled up like mountains.

The Xiongnu used the method of ants to attach to the city. Although it is simple, it has a great momentum, and the psychological pressure on the defenders of the city is very heavy.When attacking Jin people's cities in Japan, they can often go down with one drum.But this time, the fierce attack failed to capture Jiexiu, which made the Huns quite frustrated.On the fourth day, in addition to continuing to storm the city, they also mobilized troops to dig ditches and build fortifications around the city, as if planning a long-term siege.

The Huns seldom adopt this kind of combat method. They prefer to attack violently in one go, or to attack over long distances and criticize the false tactics.But maybe Yu Jiexiu was too important, this time, Hu Yanyan was determined to adopt the most laborious and effective method of attacking the city.

Lu Chang, who was overlooking from a distance, saw all the scenes of the barbarians building large-scale construction projects.At this moment, he has not closed his eyes for several days and nights, his eye sockets are sunken, but his spirit is still high, and he is striding around the city.

Several personal soldiers followed closely behind him, exchanging worried glances from time to time: In the past few days of hard fighting, Lu Chang not only had to command the defense of the whole city, but also personally went to the battle to rescue emergencies, so the physical exertion was astonishing.Originally in poor health, he often beat his chest and coughed like a heart-piercing lung when there were few people around; his breath became more and more short of breath when he spoke.

On the other hand, in order to repel the enemy, Lu Chang ran around in the past two days, and he didn't know how many arrows he shot. Four of the strong bows with more than three stones were broken.The jaws of his hands were broken, and the fingers that plucked the strings were almost deformed.If the enemy continues to organize a strong attack, no one knows how long this archery master can last.

Lu Chang carefully hid his hands under the sleeves of his robe so as not to be known by others.He always looked fierce in front of people, strolling along the city wall, condolences to the soldiers along the way, and they cheered up.Although the battle was fierce, the fighting spirit of the soldiers was still high, which made Lu Chang very pleased.What kind of generals there are, and what kind of subordinates there are.The backbone of these soldiers are all old troops who have followed Lu Chang for many years. They are very tenacious and tenacious, and they are exactly the strong soldiers suitable for defending the city.

Jiexiu's son Shuo was not idle either. He organized the residents in the city not far away, demolished many houses in the city, and moved wood, stones, etc. to the city wall.In the open space after the demolition of the houses, hundreds of strong men selected from among the residents are lining up for cao training, and several officers are anxiously pointing out their combat skills.These common people lack basic fighting skills, and their courage and fighting will are completely incomparable. Lu Chang originally planned not to use them, but now it seems that the situation is very difficult to say.

Although the Jin army killed countless enemies, their own damage was not light.More than a hundred generals died in battle, resulting in the lack of officers in charge of many sections of the city, and the need to readjust the defensive layout.After walking around the city, Lu Chang found a place to sit down and called his subordinates to assign tasks.

There was a noise from the top of the city. It turned out that seeing the Hu people building in the distance, many soldiers laughed loudly and insulted them heartily.

Amidst the noise, one of his subordinates said worriedly: "General, the Hulu built long walls and fortresses, which means they are determined to besiege the city for a long time! But I don't know if the lord has sent reinforcements? When will the reinforcements arrive?"

Looking at the mountains in the distance, Lu Chang said: "Hu people are good at field warfare. As for the method of besieging the city and the art of building, it is their weakness. If we use the short to attack the long, even if we have an alliance for ten miles and a long siege, why should we be afraid? , occupying the strong city with a strong army, defeating the enemy's spirit, so that Hu'er dare not face it, it is the time when we are waiting for a good man to make a contribution. As for the reinforcements..."

Lu Chang held the crenel with his hands, full of confidence: "You don't need to worry, the Lord will definitely make arrangements."
