Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 482 Killing Feast

Seven days ago, the Huns' army had already approached the city, and the Yueshi Royal City was facing the most violent attack.

The Xiongnu were good at field battles and were not good at attacking fortifications, but the Yuezhi Royal City was not as strong as the Central Plains city. Neither the height nor the strength of the city wall was comparable to the Central Plains city. The city head and the city gate launched a continuous onslaught like a tide.

On the top of the city, Lu Tai was continuously issuing military orders to command the defense of the city.

"Lu Chan, the east gate is in danger, take five hundred elite soldiers to the east gate, hurry up!"

"Lu Ze, go to the gap over there, and don't let the hammer of the Huns get close!"

"Lu Lu, take someone to bring up the fire oil. Hurry up, the hammer of the Huns is coming!"

Lu Chan, Lu Ze, and Lu Lu responded with a loud bang, and took orders to go away. In a short while, Lu Lu brought dozens of cans of fierce oil to the city with the Yuezhi people. These fierce oil was produced in Mize A nearby valley is black and flammable. It is an important material for Lu Tai to defend the city. Before the arrival of the Huns, tens of thousands of cans were hoarded.

Outside the city, hundreds of Huns were slowly approaching with a makeshift battering ram.

The archers of the Yue clan on the top of the city drew their bows and released their arrows one after another. The arrows rained down, and the Huns crowded on both sides of the battering ram fell to the ground screaming, but soon the Huns would come up from behind. , and the Huns also set up dozens of crudely made large wooden shields, which barely resisted the Yuezhi's arrow rain.

In a short while, the battering ram was against the north gate of Yuezhi King City. Dozens of bare-chested and bare-backed Hun warriors, under the protection of the Huns holding shields, began to pull the ram backwards. He let go of his hand suddenly, and the hammer made of giant wood reverberated under the effect of gravity, and then hit the city gate heavily.

"Boom..." Amidst the loud impact, a large amount of floating dust and debris immediately fell from the corridor of the city gate, and the Yuezhi warriors who were standing behind the city gate even fell to the ground one after another.

Lu Tai yelled again and again: "Quick, pour down the fire oil, pour down..."

Lu Lu let out a roar, and dozens of people from the Yue clan behind him raised up the fire tanks and threw them viciously at the battering ram under the city tower. Amidst the continuous cracking of the crockpots, a large amount of black sticky The fierce fire oil splashed in all directions, and in an instant it was covered with the Huns' battering rams and the large wooden shields on their heads.

"Torch, throw the torch!" Lu Tai roared again, "Burn them to death, burn them to death..."

More than a dozen faintly burning torches were thrown down from the top of the city, and then a huge fire ignited under the top of the city. Dozens of Hun warriors hiding in the battering ram's triangular bracket and the nearby people crowded on both sides The hundred Xiongnu armored soldiers were swallowed by the tumbling flames in an instant, and there was an incomparably shrill scream.

##########
On the small soil bag not far away, Mao Dun, Uncle Gong Shuo, and Gu Nuoyan were standing there watching the battle.

Seeing that the improvised battering ram was burned, and hundreds of brave Hun warriors were also reduced to ashes in the fire, the corners of Maodun's mouth could not help but twitch. It has been seven days, and nearly ten thousand brave warriors have been lost. He is a warrior, but the Yuezhi Royal City is still like a terrifying monster crouching on the desert, standing still.

"Gu Nuoyan." Mao Dun waved his big hand and said fiercely, "Let the Xiutu people and Hunxie people go!"

Gu Nuoyan slammed his right fist into his chest, bowed to Maodun again, then got up and walked away.

Uncle Gong said to start, and thoughtfully said: "Da Shanyu, the Yuezhi people are more tenacious than imagined. It's just such a dilapidated earthen city that has been stormed for seven days but can't be broken. It seems that there will be a long and fierce battle. .”

Mao Dun let out a muffled snort, and said ferociously: "When the city is broken, Ben Shanyu will have to kill him to his heart's content, and even cut off King Yueshi's skull to make wine vessels, hum!"

Uncle Gong said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, Da Shanyu, breaking the city will happen sooner or later."

Uncle Gong said that he didn't speak big words, although the tenacity of the Yuezhi people was beyond imagination, but no matter what, the Yuezhi royal city has become an isolated city, as long as the Han country doesn't send out an army of cavalry to rescue, it will fall sooner or later From the current point of view, when the Yuezhi people's fire fuel is exhausted, the city will fall.

"Woo..." Bi Shu gently stopped the horse under his crotch, and slowly raised his right hand.

The Chu Yan Jingqi who followed aggressively behind him slowed down their horses one after another, but the cavalry behind could not stop for a while, so they had to avoid the left and right wings. A huge wavy horizontal formation with a width of more than ten miles was formed.

Hu Yan pointed forward and said to Bi Shu: "General, that is the Iron City!"

Bi Shu looked in the direction of Huyan's finger, and first saw a huge mountain range, like a prehistoric beast crouching in the desert, exuding a suffocating desolation, under the feet of this prehistoric beast, On the other hand, there is a newly built earthen city. The earthen city has not yet been fully built, and there are still puffs of black smoke rising from the city.

Seeing the soaring black smoke, Bi Shu's eyes were fascinated for a moment. He finally understood why the king regarded the Huns as a serious problem, because he knew that every puff of black smoke represented a blacksmith. Stoves, the hundreds of black smoke means that hundreds of blacksmith stoves are working day and night to make iron for the Huns.

Imagine if all the Huns cavalry used iron swords, bows and arrows of fine texture, plus the Huns were a nation living on horseback, horseback riding and archery were almost instinctive skills for them, At that time, the Huns cavalry will become extremely terrifying, at least the Central Plains cavalry will no longer be their opponents.

A series of strange screams pulled Bi Shu's thoughts back to the desert. When he looked closely, he saw a mass of black Hun cavalry swarming out from the earthen city in front and the surrounding Hun tents, and then gradually gathered together. It looks like there are only two or three thousand riders, but they still meet them fearlessly.

Obviously, these Huns had been strictly ordered to die rather than escape.

It is impossible for such a large-scale military operation to attack Shan Yuting without the fish that slipped through the net. The Huns stationed in the iron city must have received the news long ago, but they still chose to stick to it.

However, this amount of troops is not worth mentioning in front of the Chu-Yan coalition army. A smirk bloomed from the corner of Bi Shu's mouth, and then he raised his right hand and pressed lightly towards the front. The ring head knife and the double-edged sword, and then urged the horses one after another, wailing to meet them.

"Buzz!" Zhou Guanfu suddenly let go of the bowstring, and the three spiked heavy arrows fastened to the string shot forward in an instant. The cavalry suddenly applauded, it is not difficult to shoot three arrows in salvo, but it is difficult for all three arrows to hit three moving targets that are flying at high speed.

However, the three arrows shot by Zhou Guanfu not only hit the three Huns who were galloping at high speed, but all of them hit the throat, which is a magical skill.

"Ha." Zhou Guanfu gently urged the red dragon under his crotch, and trotted up the hill ahead.

Hundreds of hussars also followed Zhou Guanfu up the hill, stood on the hill condescendingly and looked towards the northwest, only to see a huge lake a dozen miles away. It is clear, but beside the lake is a verdant meadow, where groups of cattle, sheep and horses are eating grass leisurely.

"Ju Yanze, this must be Ju Yanze!" a hussar shouted.

"Huns, general, look, the Huns have found us!" Someone yelled again.

A cold murderous intent appeared at the corner of Zhou Guanfu's mouth. He didn't need to be reminded to see that at least thousands of Hun cavalry had assembled outside the camp, and more Hun cavalry were pouring out of the camp. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of horses at least, which is also reasonable. With so many women, children, cattle and sheep, it is impossible for Mao Dun not to send troops to protect them.

However, in front of the invincible Han hussars, no matter how many Hun cavalry Modun left behind, it would be in vain.

The continuous sound of horseshoes came from behind like a tide. Zhou Guanfu and hundreds of hussars turned back leisurely, only to see the black hussars of the Han army sweeping from the southeast all over the mountains and plains. The big banner was fluttering in the wind, and the inscription "Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty Bai" was written in five big golden seal script characters.

Looking back at the swarming Huns cavalry on the other side of the hill, Zhou Guanfu and the hundreds of hussars had ferocious and cruel murderous intent on their faces. The stupid and filthy Huns had no idea that Death was coming Approaching them rapidly, a feast of killings is slowly kicking off...

A bone-piercing icy cold suddenly struck for no reason, completely covering Maodun in an instant.

Seeing that Mao Dun's face suddenly became extremely ugly, the uncle couldn't help asking with concern: "What's wrong with you, Da Shanyu, are you feeling unwell?"

Mao Dun shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I just feel a little palpitation suddenly."

"Palpitations?" the uncle said, his heart sank immediately, because he saw a layer of fine beads of sweat from Mao Dun's forehead. The uncle said that he was very knowledgeable, and he also had a lot of research on medicine, so he felt palpitations for no reason , and sweating all over his body, this is not a good sign, but a precursor to a serious disease!

Oh, it's not good, could it be that there is latent corpse poison in Da Shanyu's body, and it will explode? !

Suddenly, Mao Dun felt that the whole battlefield began to shake violently. The Yuezhi people and Huns who were fighting desperately in front of them were sometimes in the sky and sometimes in the ground. The killing sound receded from his consciousness like a tide, and the whole world suddenly became deathly silent.

The uncle said that he was surprised to see that Mao Dun's face suddenly turned pale, and then he closed his eyes and fell headfirst from the horse's back...
