The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 631

After thousands of years of war in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the level of war art in China is definitely the ceiling of this era.

Especially in the battle of siege and defense, the level has already been perfected.

In the eyes of the Huns, scratching the scalp is just a common thing for the big man.

Yu Dan felt that as long as there were enough people, even a pile would be able to pile down Shiling Pass.

But here in the Han army, he taught him an advanced tactical lesson.

The Yu Shan command post took turns to attack Shiling Pass.

All kinds of benefits are promised, and all kinds of threats are available.

However, no matter whether it was lure or coercion, the result was the same. Tens of thousands of Huns kept attacking Shiling Pass, but they were still unable to break through.

The defenders used gray bottles, golden juice, thunderstones to roll logs, and kerosene to help the Huns understand the cruelty and despair of attacking the pass.

After several days of fighting, the morale of Zuo Xianwang's troops was already very low.

The battle was completely hopeless, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded with each attack.

Go up mightily, come back sparsely.

It was a relief to die on the spot.

But if he was injured and dragged back, he would stay in the camp and scream all day, but he would not even have any medicine, so he could only ask the witch doctor to dance to the gods.

The painful experience of watching his injury worsen until death is enough to frighten others until their legs and feet become weak.

It was even worse for those who were not dragged back, lying in the pile of corpses, weeping and crying in pain, especially the crying and calling at night, like the wind from hell, washing away the morale of the Huns.

In King Zuoxian's tent, the red-eyed Yu Dan took a sip of wine, and asked the messenger sharply, "When will Da Shan arrive? It's been three to five days, and it's almost ten days, why hasn't he arrived?"

Those who can participate in the siege battle are naturally young and strong from all tribes.

After these days of fierce attacks, all the young and strong of the vassal tribes were killed and injured, and even the headquarters led by Yu Shan suffered heavy casualties.

He is now in urgent need of reinforcements, especially the elite of the Wangting Headquarters led by Da Shanyu.

"King Zuo Xian forgive me."

The envoy first explained a few words that the Han army pursued fiercely, and the tribe had too many cattle and sheep, so it was too troublesome to move them.

Then he asked seriously, "Da Shanyu ordered me to ask Zuo Xianwang whether this Shiling Pass can be breached? I also ask Zuo Xianwang to come back with the facts."

Yu Dan was puzzled by this, "Why do you ask this?"

The envoy saluted again, "This is the order of the Great Chanyu."

"Ah."

Yu Dan thought for a while, "Tomorrow I will personally supervise the siege of the city. If it still fails, then it will be impossible. We have to wait for Da Shanyu to come to help."

"Understood, I will watch the battle tomorrow."

In the early morning of the second day, the peasants of Xiurong County who were busy burying the corpses outside Shiling Pass, saw the Huns marching out from the camp, they hurriedly dropped their work and fled into the pass.

After the great war there must be a great epidemic.

Disposing of the corpses left on the battlefield is an inevitable means to avoid the epidemic.

The most common method is to dig a hole and bury it directly.

Usually the battlefield of a large-scale war must be lush with vegetation in the second year.

If the environment does not allow it, then burn it directly.

Li Yunze on the top of the wall observed the Huns soldiers and horses who were forming a team for a while and said, "This is going to be desperate."

The crowd joined in.

This is not flattery, but the Huns on the opposite side really used their power to suppress the bottom of the box in this offensive.

There are thousands of Xiongnu warriors, wearing iron armor, gathered into a big lump.

Among the vassal tribes of the Xiongnu, usually only nobles such as Pi Xiaowang, Duwei, Danghu, and Qu Qu were eligible to wear iron armor.

After all, in the tribe, everything belongs to the nobles.

In the tribes directly under the Huns, outstanding warriors also had the opportunity to receive iron armor as a reward.

In addition to the Great Chanyu's Royal Court Tent Army, the Xiongnu's largest armored army is under the command of Prince Zuoxian.

As for the source of the iron armor, in addition to fighting with the Han army, it was smuggled by caravans and crafted by robbed craftsmen.

Its quality and quantity naturally cannot be compared with the big man.

But on the prairie, there is already an existence that sweeps away thousands of troops.

Yu Dan showed his bottom-of-the-box strength, determined to fight desperately.

However, before throwing in the soldiers, it is still the first to drive the cannon fodder forward to consume the arrows and strength of the Han army.

Seeing the weeping, old and weak Han family who were driven forward by swords and guns, Li Yunze's face sank like water.

"Yu Dan, you should die!"

In film and television dramas, in this situation, everyone will look at the general and ask stupidly what to do, emphasizing the suffering and pain in the general's heart at this time.

But in fact, no one would ask Li Yunze at all, and the captain of the city guard directly ordered the arrow to be released.

What do you think of pushing the black pot on the king's back?

At this time, of course, he took the initiative and took the initiative to take the blame.

Li Yunze turned around and told the generals, "Get ready, we must kill all the Huns who attacked the city today!"

"Here!"

Not only the plundered Han people, but also people from vassal tribes were all thrown out by Yu Dan as cannon fodder.

Thousands of cannon fodder, driven by knives, guns, bows and arrows, stumbled towards Shiling Pass like a tidal wave.

The day of the war was in the sky, and the cannon fodder who had lost thousands of people finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fierce conflicts broke out with the Huns who supervised the war.

Yu Dan finally gave the order to let the cannon fodder back down, and replaced the armored warriors under his command.

More than a thousand armored Huns flocked to Shiling Pass.

The impatient Han army, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted these Xiongnu warriors with various defensive equipment.

The golden juice poured from the pockets flowed into the armor along the gaps, and the Xiongnu soldiers screamed endlessly.

The ash bottle was smashed down together with the Thunder Stone Roller, and the pervasive lime powder covered the city, and the smashed bones were broken.

The kerosene was poured, and the torches were thrown down, and the city wall turned into a sea of ​​flames. Many Hun soldiers didn't even have a chance to climb the city wall, so they turned into flaming torches.

Yu Dan, who was watching the battle from behind, looked livid.

This is the most powerful force under his hands, and now it is exhausted before his eyes, this feeling is simply bleeding from the heart.

After paying a high price, a Hun warrior finally jumped to the top of the city.

But before the warrior could catch his breath, a bone fell on the head, directly denting his iron helmet, and red and white things sprayed out immediately.

Afterwards, many Hun warriors jumped to the top of the city with their bravery, but it was difficult to form a scale and could not cover the follow-up to the city.

The counterattack of the Han army was very sharp and ferocious, and there were even incidents where the Han army rushed over and jumped off the city wall with the Hun warriors in their arms.

At the most time, about a dozen Hun warriors gathered at a corner of the city wall.

As if seeing hope, more Hun warriors from the city quickly gathered and climbed the ladder to rush upwards.

But then the Han army at the head of the city stepped aside, revealing a group of crossbowmen holding strong crossbows.

Under the desperate eyes of the Huns warriors, a round of crossbow arrows flew over and knocked down more than half of them.

Immediately, the defenders swarmed up and killed all the remaining people.

Yu Dan, whose complexion had turned dark into the bottom of the pot, finally gave the order to blow the bull's horn to withdraw the troops reluctantly.

These people were the bravest warriors in the tribe. Seeing them fall in groups, Yu Dan couldn't hold on any longer.

It's easy when you come, but not so easy when you want to leave.

A large number of Han troops quickly chased out through the opened city gate, pursuing all the way.

First he cut the fleeing Huns to the ground, then stepped forward and tore off his helmet, dragged his braids, pulled his neck and slashed his head with a knife.

Hanging the head on the waist loop, the sergeant of the Han army chased forward again.

It wasn't until Yu Shan, who was furious, personally brought people to meet him, that he was able to take back three or four hundred soldiers.

Then he watched the Han army retreating slowly, sweeping the battlefield under Shiling Pass, finding the wounded Huns, and directly beheaded them and hung them on their waists in front of countless people.

Yu Shan was trembling with anger, and couldn't help shouting, "What a barbarian!"

Back in the camp, Yu Dan didn't plan to fight anymore.

If the fight continues, his Zuo Xianwang's troops will almost not be young and strong.

Then he seemed to think of something, "Where is the emissary of the Great Chanyu?"

"I've already gone back, and I'm running fast on horseback."

"Hmph!" Yu Dan didn't think too much, and directly ordered, "Send someone to Da Shanyu, please come and support him quickly."

Yu Dan can't care about losing face now, he doesn't want to fight anymore anyway.

In the next few days, Yu Shan's troops did not launch another offensive, hiding in the camp and licking their wounds.

Li Yunze didn't intend to take the initiative to attack, as long as he blocked this place, the Huns who invaded would not be able to escape under the pressure of the Han army from all directions.

A few days later, it rained heavily, and the rain covered the sky and the sun, and the valley was full of dampness.

Li Yunze in the tent put down the book in his hand.

"Not right."

He got up and looked at the map silently, "It's been so long, even if the military minister crawled all the way, he should have arrived. But why hasn't he been seen?"

After observing the map for a while, Li Yunze instructed his personal guards to "send envoys to detour around to inquire if there is any trace of the Xiongnu Shanyu."

"Here."

That night, it kept raining.

A group of envoys sent by Shan Yu, a military official, entered Yu Shan's royal court.

"What?" After hearing the messenger's words, Yu Dan got up in disbelief, "Da Shanyu told me to run away?!"

"The Great Chanyu has opened up the Jingle, Kelan, and Baode lines, and has reached the bank of the big river. The troops of King Youxian have sent troops to meet them in the area of ​​Fugu on the other side of the river. The Great Chanyu ordered that King Zuoxian leave his troops behind. , only take the elite and retreat quickly."

"Can My Tribe"

"King Zuo Xian!" the messenger emphasized, "The Han armies from all walks of life are already close at hand. If you don't leave at this time, you will be unable to leave! As for the tribe, as long as the king is still alive, it will eventually be replenished."

Yu Dan, whose expression kept changing, finally sighed, "Okay."

Under the cover of night and heavy rain, Yu Dan quietly left the camp with hundreds of horsemen, leaving behind his tribe's population, cattle and sheep supplies.

As for Li Yunze, he also received an urgent report from Dou Ying who had already led the main force into Yangqu County.

Da Shanyu, the military official, never came to Shiling Pass at all, but spent a lot of money to bribe Jing Le, the guard of the land of Kelan, all the way west across the valley and went straight to the bank of the big river!
Li Yunze smashed the urgent report in his hand to the ground.

Isn't this horse riding a replica of the siege of Bai Dengshan, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty? The old scene reappears.

With a face as heavy as water, he ordered, "Beat the drums, gather the soldiers!"
