The rain gradually became lighter, but it did not stop. It was like the entanglement between lovers, lingering around and unable to bear to be separated.
However, we must part ways eventually.
Yinshan Camp, a farewell song, was performed by the tough soldiers of both sides.
Arrows flew through the air, swords flashed, swords clanked, and cracked.
Either the separation of blood and human flesh is the separation of limbs and life.
Although the Xianbei army that was originally watching the excitement joined in the attack for the first time today, they did not achieve the effect they wanted. No matter whether the defenders dispersed or the camp walls collapsed, they did not appear. .
Originally Tuyuhun was waiting leisurely, because in his concept, as long as the heavy rain soaked to a certain extent, the wall made of the Han people's rammed earth would inevitably loosen, and then they could just swarm in. However, in Linyin In front of the items brought by Qin, I realized that the rain, whether strong or weak, had no big impact on the Han camp...
So today, Tuyuhun deployed all his troops to launch a strong attack on the Yinshan camp.
At the beginning, those Xianbei people who had not participated in the war before laughed at the poor fighting ability of the Kryzhen tribe and the Huns. However, when they started to attack, although they roared and roared, it looked like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. His momentum was still smashed into pieces on the Yinshan camp.
The Xianbei archers who were responsible for the support no longer cared about the few remaining bow strings, but also poured their energy towards the Yinshan camp. There was almost no pause, and often one or two arrows would be missed after a wave of attacks. Even with flat fingers, the belly of the fingers is still bruised by the bowstring, and some are even bloody!
However, although the barbarian archers worked hard, the effect was not good. The bowstring soaked by the rain was somewhat soft and lacked strength. The arrow feathers were wetted, which changed the original center balance of the arrow, causing the accuracy to deviate. , when the two items are added together, the ability that the Hu people were originally proud of is like a joke.
Xu Huang's figure has been running back and forth on the camp. From the moment he appeared, he has become the most concentrated target of Xianbei shooters. However, Xu Huang is always surrounded by guards with shields, and he cannot hide. After passing by, the big ax turned over, and it was like a small shield, which could not be penetrated no matter how hard it was shot. Therefore, even though the Xianbei shooter paid attention to it again and again, he still failed to give a manual thumbs up.
The offensive and defensive battle that lasted for three days was already quite tiring for the soldiers in the camp.
However, for Xianbei, this cruel consumption quickly tortured their original arrogance, causing these Xianbei people to become silent from the initial clamor...
However, there is no reason to give up halfway when a military order is issued. Since Tuyuhun issued the order for a full-scale attack, there is no reason to retreat at will in the middle of the battle. What's more, the Xianbei people also have supervision over the battle team. On the battlefield, whether they are sneaking around or sneaking, or Even if he was lying dead pretending to be dead, he could not escape the eyes of those who were patrolling the battlefield from behind.
At this point in the fight, both sides were red-eyed.
The Han people who were originally used to build mounds of earth outside the city have all been driven to attack the camp. However, there were not many captured in the surrounding area. Some of them were exhausted in the past few days, and they were killed again. Some, so they were quickly consumed, leaving only the Hu people themselves.
The Hu people stepped on the bloody cement water, using wooden ladders and lassoes to climb up the wall of the village, while the Han soldiers used swords and spears to cut them off to resist the opponent's attack. .
Lin Yinqin also went into battle with his sword in hand, and Tuyuhun was behind him in the rain to supervise the formation. Even if he wanted to be lazy and catch his breath, he couldn't do it.
Under the Yinshan camp, Lin Yinqin was among the soldiers for a time. At a relatively low place on the camp wall, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Han soldiers to board the camp and slashed hard, but he didn't know how many he cut off and stabbed over. They rushed through and cut down many Han soldiers who were not afraid of death. When they were trying to stand firm on the wall of the camp, they suddenly saw a battle ax whistling from one side and sweeping across. !
The surrounding area was crowded with people, and there was no room to dodge. At this moment of life and death, Lin Yinqin could only violently push the shield in his left hand outward to block it!
The heavy battle ax came fiercely, and the wooden-covered shield was like rotten wood, shattering in all directions in an instant. If it weren't for the fact that there was a layer of iron sheet and iron ring on the guard of the shield, Lin Yinqin said You might have to hand over an arm on the spot!
The space of the camp wall itself is not large. Although it withstood the attack at the cost of a shield, it could not completely offset the impact of the heavy axe. In addition, the wall was covered with Despite the rain and blood, Lin Yinqin couldn't stabilize his figure. He fell from the wall of the camp and landed on the corpse below the camp. Although the fall was not light, he was still lucky...
The remaining Huns who followed Lin Yinqin to attack the camp were not so lucky. After Xu Huang broke through the defensive formation with a few axes, they were squeezed by the Han soldiers with swords and shields who followed closely. Without space, they were unable to resist the swords and spears thrust out from the side of the shield, and they were killed one by one on the camp.
Seeing such a situation, Tuyuhun, who was supervising the battle in the rear, had no reason to accuse the Huns of being passive in fighting or any other words. He could only shout angrily and let more soldiers join the battle...
While the battle for the camp wall was fierce, Jia Xu was standing on a protruding rock on the cliff of Yinshan Mountain at the back of the camp, pointing at the commander-in-chief Tuyuhun, who was waving his arms and shouting something under the Xianbei banner in the distance. , said: "How? Did you hit the target?"
When the barbarians attacked the city a few days ago, one of the leading generals was far away from the battlefield, and the other was because the wind and rain were too strong, so even though two ballistas were placed on the cliff, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, they kept holding back. Put into use.
Now the rain is gradually getting lighter, and the wind in the mountains has also weakened. Although it is not a perfect condition, it is okay...
The craftsman of the Huang family who was assembling the crossbow in a complicated way lay on top of the crossbow. He looked through Wangshan with half-squinted eyes, and collected the strong man under the ox-tail banner in the gap of Wangshan. Hearing Jia Xu's words,
He didn't say any bold words, he just said softly: "I will try my best."
The crossbow gun as thick as a child's arm was already placed on the crossbow arm. The Huang family craftsman looked at the slanting rain again, then slightly adjusted the angle of the crossbow gun a little, and then held the crossbow gun with both hands.
Slowly pulled down the hanging knife.
"Boom!"
The six crossbow strings with positive and negative blessings instantly threw the crossbow into the sky, drawing a long arc in the rain and fog, and projected it towards Tuyuhun who was directing the attack!
Tuyuhun was sitting upright on his horse, howling loudly, asking people to intensify the attack on the camp. However, he suddenly felt frightened. He looked up and saw a black shadow with rain streaks in the sky.
Passing over the camp, before I could react, I saw this black shadow plunge down!
The black shadow came close in the blink of an eye and landed in front of Tuyuhun. It pierced through the chest and abdomen of a personal guard in front of him, and then continued to castrate, directly piercing into the soil and splashing.
A big pile of yellow mud came out!
At this time, Tuyuhun saw clearly that this black shadow turned out to be an oversized crossbow arrow like a spear...
The unlucky guard couldn't even utter a scream. He was hung on the crossbow like that, and a corner of his torn sheepskin robe was lifted by the wind, revealing a large, bloody hole!
"What is this?!" Tuyuhun shouted in horror, "What's going on?! How can there be such a thing?!"
"Wind the string! Set the arrow!" Craftsman Huang frowned on the cliff, and while giving instructions, he turned around and went behind another ballista, then slightly adjusted the angle of the ballista again, and then pulled down the hanging knife.
.
Because the cliff platform itself is not large, and some sundries such as crossbow guns need to be placed, so only two crossbow carts can be placed, which is already the limit.
Another black shadow crossed the sky, and then fell down suddenly. Tuyuhun was startled and subconsciously tightened the reins of his horse. The horseman stood up and stamped his front hooves several times in the air.
…
"Protect the general!"
Only then did the surrounding guards react and rushed forward, trying to intercept the crossbow with their shields.
However, for the crossbow gun, the shield was just like paper and was of no use. The crossbow gun roared again and penetrated the shield. It even penetrated three people in succession because the station was denser this time.
Talent stopped the momentum!
Tuyuhun hurriedly rolled off his horse and blocked his body with his war horse. Only then did he feel a little safer. At this moment, he was scared. He had never felt this way before...
In the blink of an eye, two more crossbows arrived one after another, and the soldiers who were clustered together to protect Tuyuhun had no place to hide. An unlucky guy only had time to let out a half-scream, and was hit by the crossbow arrows with a shower of blood.
It was stuck on the ground, and there was a crossbow that was a little higher, and penetrated the big ox-tail flag above Tyuhun's head, tearing out a huge hole in the flag!
"Retreat!" Tuyuhun could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and shouted, "Retreat quickly!"
As a warrior of Xianbei, he is not afraid of oncoming swords and guns, nor is he afraid of face-to-face blood and death. However, there is no way to defend against such an ultra-long-range attack. As long as he encounters it, he will die, and he cannot even defend against it.
This was unacceptable to Tuyuhun.
As soon as the Xianbei flag moved, the overall situation suddenly reversed, which had an important impact on the morale of both sides. The Hu people's offensive was immediately blocked, and finally abandoned the wounded soldiers who were injured and unable to move, and retreated hastily...
Halfway up the cliff, seeing Tuyuhun out of range, Craftsman Huang sighed regretfully and said, "Oh, I'm still not good at learning. If Master Huang Dou came, I would probably be able to shoot him down..."
Jia Xu laughed and said, "Not bad, I'll mark it down for you later!"
For Jia Xu, there was no expectation that these crossbow arrows could directly destroy the opponent physically. It would be best to kill him directly, but it didn't matter if he didn't hit.
After all, things like crossbows have always been more intimidating than direct lethality. The crossbows look really powerful. No matter if they are touched, they will basically lose their hands and feet in the least case, and they will die in the worst case.
But the first condition is to touch it first...
If you are dealing with a dispersed formation, the ballista really does not have the ability to directly suppress it. Only when used like Jia Xu, can it have a strong deterrent effect against the generals commanding from the front.
In this era without communication tools, if the generals commanding at the front are caught within the strike range of the ballista, facing the remote draws of death again and again, even if they have a strong psychological quality, they will not be able to hold on for long.
It will collapse...
Once the command system of the eyeliner is gone, it may be possible for the soldiers to automatically and spontaneously complete a certain degree of tactical adjustments and mutual assistance. This may be possible for elite soldiers who have been trained for a long time, but for soldiers who just carry a knife,
For barbarians who are dedicated to personal bravery and blood, this is an extremely difficult choice.
Jia Xu stood on the cliff halfway, his sleeves fluttering.
Xu Huang, who was holding a big ax on the wall of the camp, looked up and met Jia Xu's eyes in the air. Then he turned back and ordered his soldiers to organize and repair.
"..."
Jia Xu was silent, he knew what Xu Huang's look meant. The ballista could only retreat the enemy, or delay it, but it could not defeat the enemy. To win, other means were needed.
Of course, as Jia Xu, who always values his own life, he still has one or two trump cards that he has not revealed yet. However, if these trump cards are revealed, it means that the situation here will be dangerous.
Next, if the Xianbei people are not stupid, they will give up the idea of swallowing it in one breath, and then send out troops to search for Han people further away, and then return to the project of building mounds of earth.
Because this stupid method is the only good method at the moment.
As long as the mound of soil is pushed under the camp wall and is at the same height as the camp wall, these barbarians can directly drive their horses to climb up, without having to work hard to climb up and attack the city by force.
It is called a stupid method because although this method is simple, it is too time-consuming. On the battlefield, the opportunity is fleeting. Moreover, in a war of attrition, the barbarians cannot afford it.
However, facing the threat of ballistae, for the Xianbei people, if they wanted to attack the Yinshan camp, they had no other better choice unless they were willing to sacrifice the lives of a large number of frontline commanders.
As for the Hu people in a loose alliance, who would be so fearless as to step forward to die, and then create opportunities for other tribes to get promoted and make money?
Don’t worry about poverty, but worry about inequality.
This sentence is the same for Hu people.
Then, next, it is time for the chess pieces placed outside to come into play, but...
"Everything has been calculated, but the only one who can't be calculated is you..." Jia Xu looked up at the sky, looking at the pattering sky, and sighed slightly.
