Their eyes were full of anticipation. Thinking about the tens of thousands of Xiongnu army was frightening. They were all terrified and helpless. Fortunately, Lord Wang was there, and they could only hope that Lord Wang would lead them to win the battle.

Each of them said to Wang Hua, "Don't worry, my lord, no matter how many Huns come, we will follow you, as long as you give orders."

Wang Hua was only moved by this, and made a deep bow, "Thanks to all the fathers, fellow villagers and brothers."

In stark contrast to the city wall are the Xiongnu Han soldiers whose attack was blocked and the atmosphere became a little depressed.

"Damn it! A broken city gate actually caused me to suffer such heavy casualties." Outside the city wall, Yu Hu, who had retreated into the Huns' camp, was also cursing, with a look of displeasure on his face.

After all, as the siege party, they still did not have too many siege equipment, and their losses were still very large.

Even with the cover of archers, when his soldiers filled the trenches and cleared the horses, staghorn wood, and caltrops in front of the trenches, there were nearly 500 casualties on Yu Hu's side alone.

Dozens of them are elites under his command, one of the few soldiers who can wear a full set of armor.

Even they couldn't resist the repeated blows on the city wall.

Not to mention those soldiers who were unarmored or only wearing cotton armor. Not only did they have to risk the shooting of the bows and arrows of the Han army on the city, but when they cleared the barbed caltrops, many unarmored soldiers had their feet pierced by sharp barbed caltrops. However, when carrying those horses full of iron thorns, many people also injured their hands.

After finally clearing away the horse thorns in front of the ditch, and filling in a ditch of more than ten steps, the soldiers under his command began to cooperate with the Huns and rushed to the city gate with large logs.

Here, they were hit by the stone beating golden juice of the Han army on the city, and they were also shot by the stone beating and bows and arrows of the Han army on both sides, causing many casualties.

After a burst of fighting, the distance from under the wall on the left side of the main gate of Wuyuan County to the trench outside the city gate was filled with corpses of Hun soldiers and wounded howling non-stop.

All the dead had huge mouths, especially those Xiongnu soldiers who were scalded to death by the golden juice and smashed to death by rolling wood and stones, their appearance was even more miserable.

There were countless corpses lying here and there, and the smell of blood wafted in the air, mixed with the stench of excrement, which was disgusting.

Under the shining of the sun, the smell of blood and war, as well as the smell of golden juice permeated everywhere, making people want to vomit.

Yu Hu was wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms, and the unpleasant smell also made his whole body extremely uncomfortable, and beads of sweat kept rolling from his head.

However, he is also considered to be a battle-hardened veteran, so he can bear it. He only hopes to capture the city as soon as possible so that everything in front of him can end.

Losing so many people in Wuyuan County already surprised him at the fighting power and perseverance of the Han army in the city.

Right now, the huge number of casualties in the army under his command has even exceeded his original psychological expectations, if the city was not broken.

If this continues, the warriors on our side may collapse and retreat soon.

However, the Huns did not stop attacking.

At this time, the Huns seemed to get rid of the tribal military system all of a sudden, and they looked like a national army.

They gathered other generals like Yu Hu and told them to gather their own soldiers and prepare for the next round of fierce offensive.

Soon, a large number of soldiers and horses rushed to Wuyuan City Pass again.

The battle started again.

Both the Xiongnu and Han people saw the extremely cold light in each other's eyes.

The sergeants of the Han army near the Chengguan all pursed their lips tightly and their chests rose and fell rapidly. They just watched the movement under the city wall nervously, and then fought back.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of the bowstring seemed to sound from all sides, and the screams of the soldiers on both sides pierced the void.

Wang Hua took the lead, leading one hundred of the most elite veterans in Wuyuan County, busy on the city wall, fighting everywhere to kill the enemy.

Although the previous fights had made many people look exhausted, and even when they were resting, they would either sit or lie down to rest.

Even so, many of them are still wearing old armor, and now they are also following behind Wang Hua, working hard, at least with that momentum, the general guards are not at the same level as them.

Under the leadership of Wang Hua, they poured down the prepared rolling wood and beating stones, as well as the boiled golden juice.

The battle continued, but the materials used for defense were constantly being consumed.

Wang Hua frowned.

It seems that rolling wood and beating stones can't stop the attack of the Xiongnu soldiers under the city, and Jinzhi and the others only have one pot on their side.

After thinking for a while, Wang Hua's voice sounded urgently, "Soldiers at the city gate, refuse horses and prepare, and the pikemen will fight!"

At the same time, he ordered his subordinates to speak loudly.

Soon, the same voice sounded from the surrounding city walls.

950 Qiwuyuan Invasion Battle

"kill!"

This time, the Xiongnu elite also launched a charge along with the Xiongnu Han soldiers.

Near the Chengguan, a Hun soldier holding a round shield and a half-moon hatchet in his right hand soon appeared. He had a thick head and neck, a beard full of cheeks, and several deep scars on his face.

Looking at his armor and the banner on his back, he is a centurion in the Huns army.

As soon as he appeared in front of him, he didn't look in carefully, so he used a round shield to protect his front to prevent the Han army in the city from coming.

He held the hatchet in his right hand, and with a loud shout, he jumped up suddenly. Usually, his aura can scare away many Han troops at the city gate, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly.

This Xiongnu centurion named Zhu Da blindly had this confidence. As long as he rushed over by himself, he could open a foothold for the troops behind him, just like his prestige when fighting other tribes on the grassland.

It's just that he misjudged his own strength. At the moment, under the city gate, there are several racks of refusal horses, scattered all over the place, with a cold light emitting from the sharp iron thorns.

When he jumped, because he happened to be hit by an arrow in the middle of the jump, his whole body was tilted, and he just jumped on a rejecting horse.

In an instant, multiple sharp iron thorns pierced deeply into his body, and he screamed loudly, twisting his heavy body desperately.

"kill!"

The city gate is guarded by a team of pikemen, and several pikemen have already leveled up their pikes and are ready to go.

This Zhu Da had just been shot down, and not long after he landed on the rejection horse, the corporal shouted loudly.

He rushed two steps away, and immediately the spear in his hand pierced the iron-inlaid cotton armor and the inner armor on Zhu Da's body, and pierced deeply into his heart.

At the same time, all the remaining spears of the other team's spear team pierced Na Zhuda's body, and one spear pierced into his eye.

One pierced his throat, and two spears pierced his left and right chest.

Zhuda, the centurion of the Xiongnu, was entangled by the horse and could not move at all. He held a round shield in his left hand and a half-moon hatchet in his right. He roared angrily.

Watching several long spears stabbing his body, just like this roaring and dying trapped in the horse, his eyes are wide open, as if he is dying!

The ferocious aura of the Han army made the subsequent Hun soldiers look surprised. The combat effectiveness of these Han troops was completely different from the group they encountered before.
