The attack just now was just to prevent the Tuyuhun people from holding on.
When the Tuyuhun people heard the sound of the Han people chanting gold, they were about to be happy. However, the Han army suddenly attacked fiercely. They were caught off guard and retreated in defeat.
The Han army still did not pursue them. To pursue them at this time would be like throwing themselves into a trap.
With the sound of gold ringing, the soldiers on the city wall retreated first, and then the soldiers at the gap raised their shields, joined the robes on the city wall, and slowly retreated.
The musketeers followed the shield bearers, and they were not stingy in rewarding the Tuyuhun people with bullets whenever they tried to rush up from the gap.
In the end, the Tuyuhun people learned their lesson. There was no one on the city wall anyway, so why should I run to the gap and be a target? Just climb the ladder up to the city.
The banners of the Han army on the top of the city have been pulled down, and the Tuyuhun soldiers cheered on the city wall.
Standing on the mound, Yu Wenxin clenched his fists.
Although he was outnumbered and retreating was inevitable, after all, this was the first large-scale battle he had commanded, so retreating would inevitably make Yu Wenxin feel a little embarrassed. However, the matter had come to this, and if he didn't run away, he wouldn't lose anyone.
Tuyuhun's attack did not stop just because they had just conquered the city wall. They quickly crossed the city wall and charged forward. However, behind the city wall were mounds and arc-shaped trenches, which limited the area of the entire battlefield, and between the mounds and the trenches
In the open space, the Han army's crossbowmen had already been ready, and when they saw the enemy coming up, they fired arrows again.
Arrows were flying in confusion, sweeping across the crowd.
The Tuyuhun soldiers retreated from the battlefield, and taking this opportunity, Yu Wenxin led his soldiers to cover the last few artillery pieces and left the position. As the commander-in-chief of the Han army, his flag did not leave the battlefield until the end. It was precisely because Yu Wenxin's flag had always been
, so the Han soldiers retreated calmly and felt extremely at ease.
As soon as the Han army's crossbowmen retreated, Tuyuhun soldiers and horses immediately rushed forward.
The Han army's trenches were dug all the way to the back of the mound. In other words, as long as they could occupy this mound, they would be able to overlook the Han army's position. When the arrows were fired, how could the Han army still be able to defend it?
But when the Tuyuhun soldiers rushed up the hill, they realized that things seemed far from that simple.
"Boom!" The thunderbolt that had been buried in the ground for a long time almost lifted the entire surface of the earth at once. The sky-high flames and thick black smoke instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, blocking the sky and the sun, like
Like a sandstorm sweeping across the desert.
The strong wind and air waves swept everything on the surface, almost flying into the sky, and countless Tuyuhun soldiers were also mixed in. The air waves spurted upwards very high, and gradually closed, forming the shape of a mushroom cloud.
A strong wave of air swept through everything. All the soldiers who were still running forward or who had noticed something was wrong and stopped, fell down like waves of wheat blown by the wind. Even the city wall not far away was affected by this wave of air.
The direct impact caused them to shake violently, and some walls that already had cracks simply collapsed.
In a blink of an eye, the explosion subsided.
The world is eerily quiet.
There was no sound of fighting, and no one even spoke.
I don’t know how long it took, but one person got up, followed by people in twos and threes. They didn’t communicate or say hello, they just started running in unison.
Not forward, but backward.
In the blink of an eye, all the Tuyuhun soldiers who crossed the city wall retreated like a tide.
This shocking explosion obviously shocked their minds. Artillery and muskets are not terrible. They just use a different way to shoot out arrows or stone bullets. Even the explosive shells that are the most damaging to infantry are
It won't blow hundreds of people away at once.
But this time the explosion was different. The Tuyuhun soldiers saw with their own eyes that the hundreds of robes who had been shouting and rushing forward a moment ago turned into mutilated corpses in the blink of an eye.
There has never been a weapon in the world that can do this.
Hundreds of people were wiped out so easily this time. Will it be the same next time?
The Tuyuhun soldiers did not know and did not dare to think about it.
In fact, what they didn't know was that Yu Wenxin, who was standing in the trench at this time, also had his mouth wide open.
The loud noise just now made his head swell, and his ears could hardly hear any sound. He didn't react until He Ruobi shook him hard.
"Brother, what did you do?" He Ruobi was also a little frightened.
Damn, if I hadn't led the people to run fast enough and retreated into the depth of the trench early, I'm afraid that the wave of air just now would have killed and injured many of us. Even so, the trench ahead
The soldiers responsible for cutting off the rear almost fell to the ground. Even if they were already in the trench, they would inevitably be affected by the air wave.
The few soldiers responsible for detonating the explosion were directly covered in the trench by the floating soil blown up by the air waves. Now the Han army soldiers who had recovered their senses were rushing to save people.
More than half of the previous mound has been cut off, and the top of the mound that emerged has turned into a huge depression, and the entire ground is pitch black. This is a trace of burning, and it is not known that there is still something in the middle.
How much incompletely burned gunpowder is mixed in.
He Ruobi shouted again, and Yu Wenxin reached out and took out his ears before he came back to his senses.
If you know this is the result, you have to weigh everything in your heart.
This is because I asked my family members to retreat more. If the brothers had been a little slower, I'm afraid they would have had to admit a lot of people.
These thunderbolts buried by Yu Wenxin in the hills were accumulated over many years of arms transportation and supplies. Because the performance of this thing is not very stable, it often fails to explode even if it catches fire. In addition, outside Wuwei City
In the Great Gobi Desert, there is no place for this thing. A sky-shattering thunder has no effect at all on the enemies Wuyangyang kills.
Moreover, this type of thunder requires manual ignition, and the soldiers who detonate the thunder cannot be too far away. In other words, this thing is simply an enhanced version of the explosive bag.
Therefore, Yu Wenxin can only work if he concentrates these thunderbolts in one place.
Naturally, this mound is the only choice Yu Wenxin can make now.
However, this shocking explosion only left Yu Wenxin with fear.
The Tuyuhun army stopped attacking, and the Han army soldiers also calmly retreated to the barrier behind the trench. The front section of the trench was filled up by the explosion, and many places were cut off. Naturally, the front half was of no use. Moreover, these trenches in front were originally
It was built to cover the retreat of Han soldiers. Once the enemy was in hot pursuit, the enemy could be dragged into the trench to fight fiercely, forcing the enemy not to dare to go deep.
So it wouldn't be a pity to throw it away now.
According to Yu Wenxin's idea, the Han army relied on barriers to defend. If the enemy rushed into the trench, he would enter the trench to fight with him. If the enemy wanted to outflank the enemy on both sides or fill up the trench, they could use the barriers to suppress them with firearms and crossbows.
