Chapter 304
At the east gate of Wancheng, a small rebel leader was holding a long sword and pacing lazily back and forth outside the city gate. He looked at the dilapidated city with critical eyes and looked at the people standing on the top of the city with their high and mighty eyes.
The Hu man looked at him with interest and murmured: "This Wancheng is a bit too dilapidated."
An old soldier beside him stuffed dry food into his mouth and said in the same unclear voice: "It's better than Chang'an, right?"
The little boss asked: "Have you been to Chang'an?"
The old pawn said: "I've been there before."
The little boss asked: "What is Chang'an like?"
The old soldier said: "It is ten times more dilapidated than Wancheng. Many roads in the city are blocked by thorns. Rats, weasels and even foxes have made their homes in the ruined walls covered with weeds. They come out and run around at night.
, it’s very lively.”
The little boss couldn't believe it: "How could Chang'an be ruined like this!? This is Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty!"
The old pawn gave a bitter smile: "Then you have to ask those heroes who have fought against each other for more than a hundred years, and ask them how they destroyed such a magnificent capital city into this!"
Chang'an is undoubtedly a troubled city, and it has carried as many glories as it has experienced hardships. Qin Shihuang poured out all the financial and material resources from the world, combined with the skilled craftsmen from the seven countries, built the dream-like Afang Palace, and Xiang Yu entered
After the Guanzhong period, a fire turned it into a scorched earth; after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, a great deal of construction was carried out to turn it into a magnificent city, and a large number of powerful and wealthy businessmen were moved into the city, making it extremely prosperous. However, the Red Eyebrow Army
The green forest army beat it to nothing. After Liu Xiu restored the country and established the Eastern Han Dynasty, he saw that Guanzhong was in dilapidated condition, so he set the capital in Luoyang. He repaired Chang'an from time to time and immigrated to Chang'an. After two hundred years of development, Chang'an developed again. Once again
It became a city with countless numbers, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, the great plague came, the Qiang people came, Dong Zhuo came...
Due to a series of plagues and wars in the late Han Dynasty, Chang'an almost turned into a dead city. Although the Cao, Wei and Western Jin dynasties also made great efforts to restore the city to its former glory, they achieved little success.
By the time of the Eight Kings Rebellion, Guanzhong was once again involved in the war. The forces from all sides once again reduced the city to ruins. Do you know why so many people in Guanzhong fled to Jingxiang and the Central Plains?
Right? I can’t live anymore! I can’t even eat, and I have to face a wave of Bohu attacks. I simply can’t live!
The little boss sighed: "Chang'an has been ruined like this. I'm afraid we don't dare to think about other places. Can we return to our hometown in Guanzhong in this life?"
The old soldier said: "Let's think about how to survive first. Do you still want to go back to your hometown? What a beautiful thought."
Just as he was talking, a group of barbarians came over arrogantly. There were about seventy or eighty people in number. They swaggered into the city gate with their noses pointed at each other. Although they wrapped themselves fiercely in cloaks,
It was true that they were strict, but when they walked by, the little leader clearly heard the sound of armor leaves clashing. A gust of wind blew by, and a corner of the cloaks of several Hu men were blown up, revealing the armor clothes hidden underneath: That's not Jie.
The leather armor or chain armor that the Hu cavalry was used to, but the well-made Zha armor!
There is a situation!
The little boss changed his expression. He held the handle of the knife and wanted to draw it. At the same time, he shouted: "You————"
After saying just one word, his mouth was covered by the old soldier, and the knife he had just pulled out a few inches was pushed back into the scabbard. The old soldier whispered in his ear: "Don't say anything.
Otherwise we will all die!"
The little leader's eyes widened in horror. He was 100% sure that there must be something wrong with these barbarians. Their temperament and weapons and equipment were not like Jiehu at all! Although they were talking and laughing in low voices, they looked calm, but their clothes
The murderous aura was extremely fierce, and these people were afraid that the attackers were evil! However, he could not open his mouth to warn him, because the old soldier covered his mouth!
The unusual behavior of the old soldier soon attracted the attention of others. The rebel soldiers guarding the city gate cast surprised looks at them. A barbarian leader on the city wall also saw it and leaned out half of his body.
Drink: "You are doing————"
Whoosh!
What responded to him was a throwing spear that came through the air. A barbarian suddenly attacked about ten steps away from the city wall. He touched his hand to his waist and saw a throwing spear more than four feet long. He moved forward.
He rushed out a few steps and threw the spear fiercely. The spear was as fast as lightning and came through the air. The leader Jiehu, who had half of his body stretched out to check the situation below, was hit in the face by the spear before he could react.
The tip of the spear penetrated through the nose, pierced through the skull cavity and went straight to the back of the head. He only had time to let out a scream before he fell from the city wall and hit the ground with a loud thud. He could no longer die.
The dozens of barbarians were like athletes who heard the starting gun. At the moment when the spear was thrown, they all shook off their cloaks, revealing their dazzling iron armor, pulled out their long swords, and raised their bows.
Crossbow, pounce on the rebels guarding the city gate!
There were also some Han people mixed in among these barbarians. They were also agile. One of them jumped in front of the small boss and the old soldier in an instant, pointed a long knife at them, and shouted: "Don't move! We are all Han people, we are
If I don’t want to kill you, just stay aside if you’re wise enough!”
A group of rebels guarding the city gate were still hesitating, but they heard the roar of killing not far away. A large number of enemy troops wearing iron armor appeared out of nowhere, like a violent wave rolling up from the ground, heading towards Wancheng.
They rushed over like a flood! They were immediately trembling with fear, throwing down their weapons and squatting on the ground, not daring to move. And this army that appeared out of nowhere had no intention of stopping to deal with them.
, directly treating them as air, people swarmed in through the gaps in the city gates and walls, and shouted: "We are the imperial imperial army, ordered to conquer the barbarians! This battle only kills the barbarians, and has nothing to do with the refugees in Guanzhong. All the refugees in Guanzhong get out of the way!"
"
The roars were more lethal than the swords in their hands. The rebels in Wancheng were mainly the troops of Yan Yi who had been recruited. During the battle of Wancheng, Yan Yi led his troops to support Hou Tuo, but was defeated. Hou Tuo
After being beheaded by Shi Le, Yan Yi was forced to surrender. Shi Le took Yan Yi back to Pingyang and imprisoned him, and then annexed his tribe. There is nothing wrong with this approach. After all, Yan Yi has a high reputation among his tribe.
, and in this era when loyalty is a luxury product, the higher the reputation of the surrendered general in the old army, the harder it is for people to feel at ease. It would be considered a kindness of Shi Le not to kill him directly. But such a thing is very troublesome among the refugees in Guanzhong.
This is a problem. The men in Guanzhong are the most loyal, especially these homeless refugees. They have a strong sense of unity. They elected Yan Yi as their leader. They really regarded Yan Yi as their elder brother. Don’t you Shi Le say that?
Wude, locked up their eldest brother somewhere, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, and Zhao Gu, who stayed behind in Wancheng, did not treat these tribesmen well, leaving them with no food to eat. It is strange that they have no resentment! Listen now
It was said that the Imperial Guards had come, and they were specifically looking for trouble for the barbarians. Most of them stepped aside with a gloating attitude, threw down their weapons, and let the barbarians beat the barbarians.
Those barbarians didn’t regard them as human beings anyway, so why should they sacrifice their lives for the barbarians?
The Hu people on the city wall resolutely resisted. Arrows and javelins poured down like raindrops, and Jin troops continued to fall. However, there were really too few Hu people on the city wall. Even with full firepower, they still could not suppress the Jin army.
In a short period of time, thousands of Jin troops rushed into the city.
Some Jin troops also stopped and fired at the barbarians on the city wall dozens of steps away. The firepower was much stronger than that of the barbarians. They all used long-tip bows made of Tuomu or mulberry wood.
They are very powerful, and the arrows they shoot are more than three feet long, and they are very accurate. The barbarian archers are often shot in the face as soon as they take the lead. Under their suppression, the barbarian heads on the city walls are not afraid to do so.
Lifting it, let alone effectively prevent the Jin army from entering the city.
When Li Rui arrived with the Wuhuan cavalry, fierce street fighting was already taking place in the city. Some Jingzhou soldiers rushed up to the city wall and fought with the Hu people on the wall. Hu people were constantly being chopped down and falling off the city wall.
. He chuckled and said, "It looks like the battle is safe."
Sima Fan said: "It's so easy to win, it doesn't take any effort at all!"
Li Rui said: "They had no defense at all, so it was easy to win."
Sima Fan said: "It would be great if every barbarian tribe was so easy to deal with!"
Li Rui turned around and looked at his head with a curious look on his face.
Sima Fan said angrily: "What are you doing!?"
Li Rui said: "I think your neck is quite tired. It's not easy to bear such a big tumor even though it's hollow..."
Sima Fan almost made him angry: "Li, I advise you to respect me, I am the prince!"
Li Rui looked disdainful: "Prince? How much is the prince worth now..."
At this time, a Jingzhou soldier rushed to the banner of the Hu army, raised his long sword and slashed hard, cutting most of the flagpole in half. The wolf flag fluttering in the wind suddenly tilted to one side. He was about to make another cut, but was struck by a knife.
The big ax was swung from behind, and he was cut ruthlessly from the left shoulder to the right rib. The whole person was almost split into two pieces, and he fell down with blood splattering everywhere. The Hu man who wielded the big ax held him up with one hand.
Standing on the flagpole, they shouted loudly, and the barbarians who were fighting hard responded in unison, and the originally low morale actually increased steadily.
Sima Fan's expression changed slightly: "This man... is so fierce!"
Li Rui curled his lips: "It's just a simple mind with strong limbs... Since you like holding the flag so much, just keep holding it!" After saying that, he suddenly opened the bow Zhuge Hui gave him, and shot an arrow as fast as a meteor!
The next second, the wild roar of the Hu man, who was as burly as a male bear, turned into a scream...
This arrow shot from a hundred steps away hit the back of his hand, penetrated the palm, and penetrated deeply into the flagpole. It almost penetrated the flagpole and nailed his palm firmly to it!
