Uncle, please help the Han family

"This is one of them, but not all of them." Liu Yu stopped playing charades and explained directly, "In this day, the opponent will face me in front of Juyongguan but will not fight, and will put pressure on us from the city. At this time, We also have to put pressure on them. This kind of pressure is like three thousand white horses appearing in front of their eyes."

"Understood." Zhao Ziyu, who was a former loyal servant of the white horse, immediately understood what the lord was going to say, so he explained to Liu Bei, "The reason why the barbarians are afraid of the righteous followers of the white horse is because the light cavalry are all white horses. , so it is natural to be timid. And we only need to line up the whole body of weapons and armor made of black mother stone on the Great Wall when confronting each other, which is enough to deter the loosely organized Hu tribe alliance."

"Oh, wonderful!" Liu Bei figured it out at once, and felt that Liu Yu was really a genius, "Although there are a large number of Hu people, they are not the soldiers of a country. This is why we can gather together because of our common ambitions, and once some people feel afraid and want to retreat, then this army will breed an atmosphere of mutual suspicion."

That's right, just like the battle against Qin, 1+1 can sometimes even be <1.

Even the Qin State dared to open the gate of Hangu Pass directly and let you come in and attack.

Nations, that's it?

"That's right, that's what I want you to do." Liu Yu's tone became a little cunning, "After arriving at Juyongguan, rest, but not completely rest, let the soldiers polish their weapons and armor to the brightest, bright enough to Kind of like looking in a mirror."

"Order!"

Liu Bei was very excited to accept this somewhat gratifying task.

"Okay, you guys go to rest. It's been a day and you should be tired." Not wanting to waste too much time because of the small meeting, Liu Yu smiled at the two with concern and announced the end of the meeting.

"Here, I take my leave."

Liu Bei clasped his fists and made a gesture of stepping back.

"Well, my lord should also sleep well."

And Zhao Ziyu nodded slightly and left naturally.

Wait, what's going on?

Why did Zhao Ziyu not even make a gesture of farewell, and why did he talk to the lord so casually.

Liu Bei was stunned by this scene.

Are you not so serious when you have a small meeting?

Ziyu, why are you so indifferent!

"That's right." When the two were about to leave the tent, Liu Yu suddenly remembered something and called out, "Ziyu, come here."

"En." Zhao Ziyu turned back and walked in front of the other party.

"I feel that wearing your hair may affect your combat." Liu Yu found out a light blue headband that he wore with his hair when riding a horse, and handed it to Zhao Ziyu's hand, "Safety comes first, let's wear it."

Using both hands to connect the headband that the lord used, Zhao Ziyu raised his head, his eyes were full of cherishment and gratitude: "Thank you, lord, I will definitely use my life to protect what the lord gave me."

"Don't protect it with your life, and find me to get it after you lose it."

"Ah."

"Go to bed."

"Uh-huh."

Standing blankly at the door of the big tent, watching Zhao Ziyu walking towards him, holding the light blue headband in both hands, with a slight smile on his face, and walking with him calmly, Liu Bei at this moment I finally understand, and I am very sure——

I may be Brother Yu's younger sister, but Zhao Zilong is definitely not just the lord's subordinate!

Chapter 39 Ten thousand arrows fired at once!

Cavalry, the most expensive type of arms in ancient times, regardless of weapon assembly.

The average cost of one cavalry is worth twenty infantry.

Therefore, of course, it will not be used for such a luxurious thing as siege.

Moreover, the cavalry cannot attack the city no matter what, especially when there is a qualitative leap in productivity, the height of the Great Wall wall is more than five feet (11 meters), and the height of the Juyongguan is as high as fifteen feet. It is more like a mountain with no slope.

However, the rapid improvement in productivity and technological level is not limited to the Han people. The Hu people have also mastered the basic means of siege by capturing Han captives, learning forging techniques, manufacturing siege equipment, and establishing semi-professional infantry.

Therefore, in this battle, in order to allow the [-] to [-] troops to enter the Central Plains smoothly, they did not choose to cross the mountains more safely, but directly entered from Juyongguan.

As long as this great pass is opened, it will not only be 6 to [-] people who will flood into Youzhou.

The wind in Saibei was carrying sand and dust, whistling and blowing.

[-] well-trained infantry advanced step by step towards the magnificent pass.

The mighty army trampled on the ground, sending out vibrations that tore eardrums.

When the infantry advanced to one mile from the pass, that is, the farthest effective distance that the crossbow could produce a kill, ten thousand soldiers stopped.

Then, facing the towering city wall, about [-] shooters lay down on the spot.

One by one, the archers stepped on the huge black mother stone bow, and pulled the tough bowstring with their hands. When they pulled the crossbow to the extreme, the people behind them took a long arrow made of only the mother stone. , on the string.

The wind was still blowing, like the howling of wolves.

The broken and mottled city tower stands not far away.

And on the city of Juyongguan, which has been devastated by war, there are deep black blood stains everywhere.

But even in the face of [-] times as many enemies, if they stood firm for three full days, there was still a soldier defending the city who was clearly scarred at the crenel on the top of the city.

Their bows were half-drawn and hidden under their bodies, and they did not aim at the army formation with crossbows, because the range of hand-drawn bows could not cause effective damage to enemies one mile away.

Of course, it wasn't these archers that they needed to stop, but the five thousand siege soldiers in the middle of the crossbow phalanx.

Two thousand and five hundred people shoot arrows, two thousand and five hundred people take arrows, and then five thousand people attack the city. This is the tactic that the Hu people learned from the Han people.

Step, step, step, step.

Behind the phalanx of [-] people, there were ten barbarian cavalry holding flags. They stood separately behind the formation, with tense expressions, without saying a word.

Looking sharply at Juyongguan, which looks like a sharp thorn in his flesh, King Wuhuan riding a big black horse, Wu Yan said coldly: "Let go."

"put!"

"put!"

"put!"

...

"put!"

Ten cavalrymen waved their flags at the same time, and then [-] arrows shot up from the ground, like a meteor shower piercing the sky, making countless "swipes" that tore through the air!brush!brush! '.

The sky above the head seemed to become low at this moment, like a layer of impenetrable dark clouds, casting a shadow on the entire land.

All arrows fired!

Countless sharp arrows that shot out sonic booms flew towards the soldiers on the top of the city densely.

"Raise your shield to defend!"

The shields that had already been punched all over the body were raised ahead of time when the arrows arrived.

However, the number of black mother stone shields was not enough for everyone to be protected by it. In just this round of shooting arrows, nearly 50 soldiers were pierced to death on the spot.

But this is not the end.

"The second round is coming, push away the corpse and raise the shield!"

Black rain flew from the ground to the sky again.

More than forty soldiers fell down again.

The shields that were directly scrapped also reached more than a dozen sides.

……

"The sixth round is here, concentrate on your positions and raise your shield to defend!"

This kind of arrow attack usually lasts for more than three rounds and less than six rounds for each attack.

The reason why there is no unlimited fire suppression is that the arrows fired are basically consumables and will be damaged by the reaction force of the shield or the city wall.

Fifteen thousand arrows made of black mother stone are quite a lot of money for the Hu people who are not very wealthy.

In this era of fairly limited productivity, saturation strikes generally do not occur.

"The barbarian is advancing, shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"

A school lieutenant guarding the city knew the attacking methods of the Hu people, so after six rounds of shooting arrows, he immediately summoned the soldiers who were still alive to shoot at the Hu people infantry group who had advanced the distance to several hundred steps by taking advantage of these waves of shooting arrows. Arrows strike back.

But the Hu people are famous for their archery. Even the infantry attacking the city can accurately shoot the arrow on the city while running.

Therefore, the two sides took each other's lives by shooting arrows back and forth.

The blood on the top of the city slowly flowed down.

The blood under the city head slowly seeped down.

This is the strength of the Hu people's main force.

A nation born for fighting will arouse their stronger strength when fighting.

"Where are the reinforcements! If you don't come, everyone will die! The agreed three days will come!"

The general who commanded the defensive battle on the top of the city yelled at the messengers around him, completely disregarding how many mouthfuls of blood he swallowed from his forehead.

"General! Here we come...reinforcements are here!" Panting, the scout in charge of delivering the message roared loudly, "It's five miles away from Juyongguan...the vanguard cavalry has arrived, flying the 'Liu' flag !"

"Liu Ziqi? Not Gongsun?!"

"It's Liu Ziqi! It's not the flag of General Gongsun Fan or General Gongsun Zan!"

"Which general is surnamed Liu... Could it be the lord? Impossible, the lord won't fight... Forget it, spread the news of the arrival of the reinforcements all over the city!" Without thinking so much, the general directly raised a big stone, With a siege ladder approaching the city wall, he smashed it down forcefully, "Go to hell, you bastard!"

……

"General, twenty miles ahead is Juyongguan Fortress, and the Hu people are attacking the city with all their might."

A cavalry sentry in disguise turned back after scouting, and reported to Gongsun Zan who was sitting on the slope of a barren mountain.

"Unfortunately, I can't see it at all."

Putting his hand on his forehead, Gongsun Zan looked at the scenery quite hard, but because his sight was blocked by a short mountain, he couldn't watch any good shows.

"My lord, don't go any further." In order to avoid the wayward general from making mistakes, Guan Jing hastily persuaded, "The state pastor has ordered me to wait in Liaodong, if we are found to come here without authorization and wait and see from a distance, we will surely kill you." In a fit of rage."

"Furious?" Gongsun Zan laughed. "Anger can't solve any problems. I bet you that if Liu Yu knew I was there, not only would he not be angry, but he would even be grateful."

"Excuse me...why?"

As a counselor, Guan Jing couldn't even think of the reason, so he could only shamelessly ask Gongsun Zan.

"Do you know why I brought a thousand white horse righteous followers when I come to watch the battle?" Gongsun Zan said in a mysterious tone.

Guan Jing shook his head: "No, I don't know."

Facing the wind in the north of the Great Wall, Gongsun Zan flicked his long dark black hair, and said mockingly: "If Liu Yu sends someone to fight, he may still win, but if he fights himself, he will definitely lose."

"This, indeed."

Guan Jing had never heard of Liu Yu's ability to fight, and now he is leading troops to fight himself, he is really dizzy.

"Then, he will be completely defeated in the battle with the barbarians, and finally run away in a hurry."

"Then..." Guan Jing asked in surprise, "My lord, will you lead another thousand white horses to rescue him?"

"That's right." Gongsun Zan replied playfully with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"I didn't expect the lord to be so loyal..."

"Do you think I have such a thing?"

Turning his head indifferently, looking at Guan Jing, Gongsun Zan said angrily.

"It's a slip of the tongue."

Guan Jing smiled awkwardly, and then became serious: "At that time, we will use the excuse of 'hearing that the lord is deeply involved in the battlefield' so the savior is eager to get rid of the charge of leaving without authorization, and arrest...save Liu Yu. Then, ask for 20 shi, grain, and grass to resist Hu!"

"Who said it was 20?" Gongsun Zan corrected him calmly, "It used to be 40 Liaodong Army, and now there are [-] Youzhou Army, so we need [-] stones for food and grass."

"!" Guan Jing underestimated Gongsun Zan's greed.

In this war, she actually regarded Liu Yu as a bet.

The purpose is to win full control of the Youzhou army.

What kind of state shepherd is a state shepherd without soldiers?

This move is precisely to evade Liu Yu and seize power in one fell swoop!

but……
