Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 429 Under Jicheng
Chapter 436 Under Jicheng City
The 50 Donghu and Xiongnu coalition forces did not stop under Linghe City.When the Huns left, what was left behind was Linghe City, which was basically in ruins except for the solid city walls and the intact foundations of the houses in the city.

After the Huns dug up and looted all the things that were discarded by the people of Daqin and could be regarded as valuable by them, Maodun issued an order to demolish all the wood in the city.

In addition to the grass, cattle and sheep on the prairie, there are still grass and cattle and sheep.Even some trees are dwarf and dead wood not as thick as an adult's arm.Can't and can't build a proper siege engine at all.

Even the simple ladders carried by the Donghu cavalry were built after Mao Dun almost ordered to collect the wood from the Huns and Donghu tribes gathered around the Langjuxu Mountain.

Even so, the 50 Xiongnu coalition forces did not have more than a thousand ladders in total, not to mention the wooden shields to guard against the Qin people's strong crossbows, bows and arrows, and even none of them.

If one wants to attack Jicheng, which is stronger than this fortified city, the number of ladders is obviously required.

The wood in the fortress outside the Great Wall and the wood in this fortified city abandoned by the Qin people can be regarded as solving Maodun's urgent needs.

The Huns, on the other hand, carried out the orders of the great Modu Chanyu thoroughly.

All the wood in the houses in the city, no matter how big or small, whether solid or not, were violently demolished by the locust-like Huns cavalry.

Before leaving, the Huns did not forget the towers standing on the four gates of the city and the huge gates on eight sides.

The four tall towers and eight huge city gates that originally stood on the city wall of Linghe City were all demolished, leaving Linghe City bare.In the mid-autumn of the prairie, I was shivering.

The Donghu army still moved first, and the 30 army only stayed here for an hour, and then quickly moved towards Jicheng in the south.

Under Mo Zha's urging, the 30 Donghu cavalry advanced very fast.The reason for this is firstly that they don’t want to give the Jiuyuan army time to react, and secondly, it would be the best if they could capture some Qin people, especially women, on the way.

Jicheng is like a prehistoric giant crouching on the northern border of Great Qin, majestic and strong.This city, which cost Yan State countless money to build, has always been the most dazzling pearl in the northern part of Great Qin since the unification.

With Daqin as the backing and the powerful Nine Plains Army guarding it, although surrounded by powerful enemies, the prosperity of this city has not diminished in the slightest.

Because of the war, compared with these famous cities that lived in the hinterland of the inland Great Qin, this place is a bit more rough and heavy.

However, today, Jicheng, which used to be bustling with traffic and people, finally no longer has the turbulent appearance of the past.The gate of Jicheng, which will not be closed until the sun goes down, was also completely closed yesterday.

On the top of the city, countless soldiers of the Qin army stood tall.Large and small continuous shooting crossbows lined up next to each other, and the thick and gleaming crossbow arrows exuded a cold light under the sunlight.

It seems that it also knows that a tragic war is coming, and it is also longing for the taste of blood.

From the faces and eyes of these Nine Plains Army soldiers standing on the city wall, there is no expression of tension or fear.Some are just longing.Yes, desire.

Eager to drink the blood of the Hulu, eager to hear the sound of the crossbow piercing into the flesh and blood of the Hulu.I am eager to see the urgency of Hulu's head to establish military exploits.I long for the moment when I will be awarded a title after the war.

Rumble!
The sound of billowing thunder came from far away in the sky, like an earth dragon turning over, the earth began to tremble slightly.

A long, thin black line appeared in the distant sky within sight.

In less than a moment.This long black line, like thick ink suddenly splashed on the prairie, began to quickly soak the prairie outside Jiuyuan City.The original verdant plain wilderness was covered with thick ink and heavy colors.

The whistling sound like howling ghosts and wolves came from a distance from the increasingly loud roar of thunder.

That long black line has now become a large black and white curtain, beginning to cover the prairie.

The rolling and muffled thunder has turned into continuous thunder echoing between the sky and the earth. Standing on the high top of Jicheng City, one can clearly feel the tremor of the earth.

The Huns, at last, are here.

The generals of the Qin army on the city wall silently watched the countless Hun cavalry rushing forward.Clenched hands unconsciously.

"Woooooo!"

The continuous and desolate long horn sound.The roar that pierced through the entire world came from afar.

The Huns cavalry, black and white like a complete curtain, suddenly transformed into a huge monster with two tentacles amidst the sound of the horn.The two tentacles formed three long arcs, protruding from the formation of the Huns cavalry, stretched and stretched, and came towards Jicheng.

Seen from the sky, it looked like a ferocious monster poking out its tentacles and trying to embrace Jiuyuan City in its arms.

Two tentacles composed entirely of Hun cavalry.Walking around the city less than five miles away from Jicheng, it is obvious that the Huns wanted to surround Jicheng with their huge military strength and kill them slowly.

Waving the scimitar in his hand, two tentacles derived entirely from the Hun cavalry derived from the Maodun army finally met in the east of Jicheng.Forming an iron-like large formation to wrap Jicheng with a radius of more than [-] li.

The Xiongnu cavalry swaggered past the city without arousing the slightest agitation among the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army on the top of the city.

certainly.In the eyes of the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, these Xiongnu cavalry were synonymous with military exploits.

Slowly moving forward, facing the west wall of Jicheng, were the 20 Xiongnu elite under the leadership of Maodun himself.A five-foot-long flag marked by a giant wolf howling up to the sky has clearly told everyone that this is where the Xiongnu Shanyu and Maodun's central army is located.

The cavalry in the three directions of east, west, north, and Ju is Donghu cavalry, with 10 people in each square.The Donghu cavalry in three directions, each of which has [-] Hun cavalry for the purpose of suppressing the formation.However, it is clearly an overseer, but in fact it is the warlord.

The giant wolf banner stopped advancing about five miles away from the city wall. Nearly 20 Hun cavalry formed a huge fan-shaped arch to guard the giant wolf Qin, which was extremely oppressive.

The large formation neatly separated a passage.

A tall war horse that was all red and red appeared under the banner of the Xiongnu Wolf God.The robes made of yellow brocade made Maodun stand out among the Hun cavalry who were all black and white and wearing sheepskin waistcoats.

The whole world is silent at this moment.

Mao Dun clamped the horse's belly lightly, rode the horse slowly, and stopped after taking more than ten steps forward. He looked at this big city with his usual gloomy eyes, which was obviously taller and stronger than the fortified city abandoned by the Qin people. , finally showing a bit of fiery.

This is Jicheng, where the Huns will rise in the future.

Only by breaking through here can the Huns truly rule the world.

This city must be taken.
