"Woo...Woo...Woo..."

The formal attack of the Huns kicked off with the sound of desolate horns.

"wind"

Mark gave an order, and the soldiers, who temporarily changed into infantry, fired the crossbow arrows in their hands neatly.

The Hu people holding torches high were simply living targets. Although the Huns were trying their best to fire back with arrows, Hu was in the light and Han was in the dark. The night gave the Han army the best cover.

The Huns could only shoot in a general direction, which greatly reduced the accuracy of their bows and arrows.

Although the Shanguo people were more brave, their numbers were small after all. Under the supervision of the king, they rushed to the pass with all their might, but found it difficult to climb the pass wall.

The Shanguo soldiers under the wall could only wander around like headless flies for a while.

The Han troops on the wall took the opportunity to shoot them.

The first wave of barbarian attacks came and went quickly, leaving more than a dozen corpses under the wall.

Mark was not proud because he knew that this was just a tentative attack by the Huns.

Those who died were all cannon fodder from the Shan Kingdom. The real battle had not yet begun.

Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour after the first wave of barbarian attacks ended, the second wave of attacks began again.

This time, the Huns dispatched more than 500 archers at once to conduct suppressive shooting at the pass.

Waves of arrows fell on the wall like raindrops, making the Han army unable to lift their heads.

Although the Han army suffered few casualties under the protection of the wall and night, the Han army was unable to calmly counterattack.

The Han army could only use the openings of the Huns' arrows to launch some limited counterattacks.

After the Han army's arrow array was suppressed, two centurions of the Huns and more than 300 people from the Shan Kingdom's personal guards launched another attack on the wall.

With the suppression of the Xiongnu arrows, this time the Hu coalition successfully rushed to the wall.

In order to break through the pass as soon as possible, King Otto did not care about the lives of his soldiers and directly launched the most brutal ant attack.

The Han army showed no fear at all. Under Mark's command, they also used long spears, iron swords, ring-shou knives and other melee weapons.

Everyone knows that if you want to survive the Huns' attack now, you can only rely on the weapons in your hands to fight the enemy.

"A warrior can only live to die!"

Because this pass is mainly used to prevent enemies from attacking from the outside, the defense from the inside is much worse.

The barbarian coalition troops quickly climbed up from each gap.

"Second and third sons, kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, today. Kill...!" Mark yelled.

After Mark chopped down a Huns with a knife, he found several Huns secretly climbing up the cliff next to the pass.

"Follow me!"

Mark took several soldiers beside him and quickly rushed to the top of the cliff.

They arrived at just the right time. Several barbarians had just climbed up but had not yet gained a firm footing.

Mark immediately led his soldiers to charge and finally succeeded in killing the barbarians who climbed up the cliff.

The problem on the cliff here was solved, but the barbarians climbed up again from the other side.

The number of Han troops was still too small, which was very disadvantageous in such a defensive battle.

Fortunately, the Han army was better than the Hu people in terms of training and equipment.

Although many barbarians climbed up the wall, the Han army still firmly controlled the gate.

"kill!"

The slogans shouted by the Han soldiers were to fight to the death with the Huns. For every Han soldier who fell, there would always be more Huns who fell.

The battle soon became intense.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than twenty Han soldiers fell.

The Hu coalition forces suffered even more deaths, and there were at least 70 or 80 Hu corpses up and down the entire barrier.

However, the number of the Hu people was too great. Under the command of King Ou Tuo, the barbarians rushed towards the Han army like waves.

Mark now feels that it seems that there will never be enough barbarians to kill. Every time a barbarian is killed, another barbarian will replace him.

The casualties of the Han army were increasing, but more and more barbarians rushed to the wall.

The battle lasted for another quarter of an hour. By this time, more than half of the Han army had suffered casualties, and Mark also suffered some injuries.

However, it was not easy for the Hu people, as their casualties were close to 300.

Especially the King of Shan Kingdom, who was trembling all over now. He did not expect that the Han army, which he had always looked down upon, could actually have such fighting power.

Looking at the pass, his heart was bleeding. With the light of the fire, he could see very clearly that all his personal guards were almost dead.

He couldn't help but ask King Otu to let him remove the Shanguo people for a rest, but in the end King Otu gave him a severe whip.

"Continue the attack!"

King Outo ordered expressionlessly.

The surrounding Hun cavalry commanders kept sending their warriors who were good at fighting against the wall like a meat grinder.

King Otu's heart was actually bleeding. These dead Huns were all warriors among the Huns.

It was usually his treasure, but now it fell on the small wall like a piece of grass.

However, King Ou Tui knew that no matter how reluctant he was, he had to pay these prices, otherwise if the Han army could gain a foothold here, it would be a real disaster for the Xiongnu, and it would probably directly affect the success or failure of the Tianshan Battle.

Seeing the casualties of the Han army increasing, and more and more soldiers rushing to the wall, King Outuo finally smiled.

Mark once again knocked down a Huns in front of him, and he felt that all the strength in his body was almost exhausted.

Looking around, more and more soldiers are falling, while fewer and fewer soldiers are standing.

"Second and Third Son, today is the day to kill the enemy and serve the country. The Huns want to occupy this pass unless they collapse on our corpses."

"The Han army is mighty!"

A Han soldier with an injured leg was unable to kill the enemy in front of him, so he had to hug a barbarian in front of him and jump off the wall.

The soldiers who fell under the wall did not die immediately because they were buffered by barbarians.

The surrounding barbarians surrounded him angrily and chopped him until he was chopped into pieces beyond recognition.

The death of this soldier aroused the indignation of the Han army. Everyone rallied and launched a counterattack against the Huns.

The Hu people, who were also exhausted, were actually forced to retreat by the Han army.

But King Ou Tuo didn't care. Anyone could see that this was just a reflection of the Han army's glory.

He believed that he would be able to capture the pass with one more attack.

Everyone in the Han army knew that the last moment was coming, and no one had any hope of survival.

Although everyone hopes to survive, and as long as they choose to escape, the possibility of survival is very high, but no one takes a step back. Everyone has made up their mind to live or die with the pass.

At this time, a soldier shouted to the Huns under the wall: "Nai Gong has died a long time ago. Now he is satisfied with living for so long. Grandchildren, come quickly, Nai Gong is waiting for you."
