"Chief, I am willing to challenge you. As long as you give the order, I will go and capture the city in front of you. All honors and spoils will belong to you." The speaker was Feng Mang's first general, Tiebei Shan.
This man was also born as a slave. He seemed short and unworthy of mentioning, but in fact he was very capable in martial arts and had reached the innate realm by practicing martial arts.
Not only that, with the addition of external skills, his limbs became extraordinarily strong, and his arms alone were almost as big as an average person's thighs. Feng Meng was able to have such a status beside Shi Le, and this person took a lot of credit.
"Okay, General Tie is brave!" Feng Zhang said with high spirits: "Tiebei Mountain, if you capture this city, I will give you 10% of the spoils."
Although 10% of the loot may not sound like much, if you use a city as a reference, it is an astronomical figure. It can be seen from Tiebei Mountain's current expression. At this time, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and
It's like being injected with chicken blood.

On the city wall of Dalingcheng.
Looking at the densely packed Huns outside the city, the magistrate of Daling County suddenly felt numb. There were only 300 county soldiers in the city, and there were only more than 900 people including private soldiers, slaves, and strong men recruited in the city. Facing nearly ten
The Huns who outdid themselves were like a small boat about to capsize in the waves.
Fortunately, Daling County is backed by a mountain on one side and blocked by a river on the other side. You only need to guard the west gate and the north gate.
"Brother Zhongwu, do you think we can hold it?" The magistrate of Daling County looked at a scribe under forty next to him. This scribe's surname was Wen, and he was a member of the Wen clan in Taiyuan. He was also a famous minister of Cao Wei.
Hui's uncle and brother Wen Che once served as the governor of Zhuojun.
However, there is no record of him in history, so he was probably killed in this battle.
Although Wen Qie was only a famous scholar, because of his family background, he was naturally proficient in the art of war. It was under his command that Daling did not fall immediately. Among the more than 600 people this time, 400 were contributed by the Wen family.
He is the leader of the Wen family in Daling.
Wen Qie heard this and said, "Don't worry about the Ming Dynasty. It only takes two days and the prince will be here."
"But, can we people hold on for two days?" The magistrate of Daling County hesitated, but in the end he did not say anything.
Wen Qie turned to the county captain and said: "My lord, county captain, look at this scene. The west gate is the main attack area of the Huns, but the north gate cannot be relaxed. You lead 300 people to guard the north gate."
"promise."
At this moment, a burst of horn horns sounded violently outside the city, and the sound was passionate and long. This was a prelude to the Huns' attack.
…………
…………
Outside Daling City is a vast wilderness, and on this wilderness, the Huns formed in units of hundreds and thousands of people, rushing towards Lincheng Gate like a tide.
"The Huns are attacking..." Some soldiers shouted at the top of their lungs because of panic. This emotion also attracted the soldiers guarding the city, causing a commotion at the top of the city and making everyone panic.
"Shut up! If anyone yells again - kill!" Wen Xie took over the command without hesitation, and then opened his arms and encouraged: "Sirs, the opponent is just a barbarian who only knows how to make simple sieges.
We don’t need to worry about the war equipment. As long as we hold on for a day or two, the county governor will definitely send reinforcements. At that time, these Huns will die! Gentlemen, please persevere!"
"Mr. Wen said that as long as we persist, reinforcements will arrive in a day or two," said County Commissioner Hao Feng.
This Hao Feng is the younger brother of Duyou Hao Jian.

"Beat the drum and move forward." Seeing that no results were achieved in the front, Feng quickly ordered.
As Feng Mang gave the order, thunderous drums soared into the sky in an instant. The Huns in the front row held up wooden shields as big as door panels, and archers were among them. Behind them were attack teams carrying ladders, several rows of
Shield bearers covered both sides, followed by a group of archers. The warriors responsible for climbing the city fell last, and the Huns trotted all the way to the bottom of the city.
After Wen Qie visually measured the distance of the Huns, he pressed down the Huanshou sword in his hand and said: "The crossbowmen are ready to release arrows..."
"Whoosh whoosh..." Following Wen Che's command, a rain of arrows poured down from the city wall, like dark clouds pressing down on the top of the city. Some of the Huns were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, howling miserably, but most of them just ignored them.
The comrades around him, those who kept moving forward with their backs bent, after Shi Le became the leader of Xiutu, the fighting power of this tribe has completely taken on a new look.
However, the defending side had an advantage over the attacking side. They were condescending and could shoot far. The Huns endured several rounds of arrows before they entered the range that the Huns' crossbows could reach. Seeing this, Tiebei Mountain hurriedly roared:
"Fire the arrow... Counterattack... Suppress the Han Dog's crossbow."
The Huns are a nation on horseback, and there is nothing to say about their riding and archery skills. As soon as they can walk, they have to learn horseback riding and archery. It can be said that all the Huns have superb archery skills, and there are also many sharpshooters.
Moreover, don't forget that the horse stirrup has been around for more than a hundred years in this era. The Huns have long learned to use this thing, and this has increased the Huns' combat power!
Under the fire of the Huns, as long as the Han people showed their heads slightly, they would definitely be killed. After killing and wounding dozens of people in a row, they finally did not dare to be exposed to the eyes of the Huns again.
Since the Han people did not dare to be exposed wantonly, the pressure on the Huns below the city was greatly reduced. They took this opportunity to immediately lift the ladder and quickly advanced to the city. They worked in pairs and held up the shield escalator. The first to board the team jumped up with the shield, as agile as an ape.
Although the Han people did not dare to take the lead, it did not mean that they had no choice. When they saw the Huns Fan Deng coming up the ladder, the Han army suddenly raised the huge boulder after they were halfway up. Suddenly the boulder turned into a rain of stones, smashing the heads of the Huns.
Broken bones, fell to the ground.
There were those who were so determined that they jumped directly from the ladder, preferring to break their legs rather than suffer the pain of being hit by stones. Even if a few people were lucky enough to climb the city wall, they would be immediately killed by the numerous Han troops who were waiting for them.
The two sides saw each other back and forth on the battlements for several rounds, and the fierce battle became more and more fierce. Although dozens of Huns fought on their own, they firmly stared at the battlements and refused to retreat until they died in the battle.
Seeing the tug of war between the two sides, Tiebeishan quickly secretly called on several warriors from the clan around him to touch it. Since these people could be called warriors, they were naturally stronger than ordinary soldiers.
After they boarded the city, they led dozens of Huns to howl and attack the Han army that was ten times their size, causing bloody waves. Although none of them could survive and all died in the battle, they still
It bought valuable time for late comers.
As more and more Huns climbed onto the city wall, the Han army gradually fell into a disadvantage. Dub, a retired soldier, immediately launched a charge, trying to annihilate them all on the city wall and regain the initiative on the battlefield.
