The general will eat grass

Zhao Yuansong regained his composure, walked to the wall to hide, and another sharp arrow passed over his head and flew towards the inner side of the city wall. Soldiers below the city shouted to the warriors to be careful of arrows.Seeing the strength of the arrow, Zhao Yuansong couldn't help but marvel: "The Huns' arrows shoot really far!"

"No, don't be careless. The Huns are good at riding and shooting. They can easily draw a three-stone bow with a range of about two hundred steps. It is said that their big bow is made of a kind of animal bone that has been blessed by the gods. , the arrow has barbs, not only can penetrate leather armor, but also has amazing lethality." The soldier hid behind the wall, observed the situation below the city sideways, and explained to Zhao Yuansong kindly.

so smart!

Zhao Yuansong's Six Arts of Gentleman class also has riding and shooting, but the strongest bow used by the Han people is only one stone and two jun, made of bamboo, with a bronze handle on the handle, and a range of more than 150 steps. Although it can penetrate leather armor, it cannot penetrate into it. The human body can only cause skin and flesh injuries to people.

Zhao Yuansong thought to himself: It seems that if Beixuan is to become stronger, the improvement of equipment is imperative.

"The stone is gone." The soldier shouted back Zhao Yuansong's thoughts, and he ran down the city wall in a hurry, and continued to carry the stones.

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the eaves of the southern gate tower were knocked down. The tiles and stones fell down and hit the soldiers who were fighting under the eaves. A dozen or so unsuspecting soldiers fell to the ground. , injured his head and arms, unable to continue to meet the enemy, and a defensive gap appeared on the city wall.

Did the Huns even make catapults?

He thought they would only charge forward on horseback, Zhao Yuansong was speechless inwardly.

Another boulder fell, and half of the roof of the city gate was smashed. The soldiers had been vigilant before and immediately dispersed, and there were still casualties.The heavy snow could not suppress the smoke and dust brought by the falling rocks. The soldiers rubbed their eyes and coughed, and a large area of ​​defense loopholes appeared, which gave the Huns an opportunity to take advantage of the city.

Duke Dingguo and Deng Mian were still supervising the battle on the city gate tower. Seeing this scene, Zhao Yuansong was terrified. Not knowing if they were injured, he hurriedly dropped the stones in his hands and rushed towards the city wall regardless of others' obstruction.

The smoke and dust hadn't dissipated yet, Zhao Yuansong couldn't cough after inhaling the dust, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and rushed into the half-collapsed gatehouse to look for someone, "Father, how are you Deng Heixiong?"

Duke Ding got up from the broken beams and rocks, wiped the dirt off his face while coughing, "Don't come over, we'll be fine." He and Deng Mian supported each other and walked out of the ruined walls, glanced outside the city, eyes He widened his eyes in an instant: "They stole the catapult from Yuping Pass! Okay, very good, they got everything about the siege guys. What did the generals stationed in Yuping eat? They can't protect such an important thing. Don't you just run for your life! Damn bandits, this time it's time to play for real. De'er led people to detour and attack the enemy's main camp. Changyang Pass must be defended and more troops should be attracted. Song'er, You go to Zhou Gang quickly, and ask him to call in another two hundred contradictory hands." This gap must be closed immediately, and there will be a strong attack after the stone throw.

"Yes, father!" Zhao Yuansong saw that the two of them were fine, and took orders to turn around and run down the city again.

Zhou Gang was mobilizing more than 200 corvettes at the gate of the government office, "This time the Xiongnu led an army to invade Beixuan, and they didn't just leave after robbing them. Their coach, Daxi Shuode, was the number one general of the Huns. He was bloodthirsty. Every time Shanyu annexed other tribes, he would send this general to fight. Changyang is in danger! Everyone, we are all the people in Changyang and its surrounding areas, and we are all men from Beixuan. Changyang is our home, and Changyang has our roots. Once Changyang Pass falls, our food and our women will be taken away by the Huns, and we ourselves will become slaves of the Huns! They don’t do farming, they will force us to work as mules, horses and cattle with whips. Folks, do you want to live a life of being treated like animals?"

"do not want!"

"Are you going to lose your women and your homeland?"

"do not want!"

"Very good, you are all men of my Beixuan! Do you want to go up the city wall with me and drive out this group of wolves who ran wild on our land?"

"want!"

Zhou Gang nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the centurion who was waiting by the side to immediately lead someone up to the city wall to make up for him.Zhao Yuansong rushed over and said anxiously: "Lieutenant Zhou, the Grand Marshal asked you to transfer another two hundred contradictions to the city wall."

Zhou Gang hurriedly took two steps, gave him winks to keep him quiet, looked at the newly mobilized Minzhuang, and said in a low voice: "Young master, most of the soldiers were taken away by General Feng, and the rest have to be guarded separately." For the other three city gates, there are no manpower here! That's all I can find now."

Zhao Yuansong frowned, and told Zhou Gang about Ding Guogong's conjecture. Zhou Gang slapped his head when he heard it, "Trough, this is a dead end! My subordinates go down to the city wall to have a look, young master please." Zhou Gang cupped his hands and turned around in a hurry busy running.

Zhao Yuansong had a bad feeling, could those corvee warriors really be able to fight?

Zhao Yuansong followed them up the city wall. Sure enough, these people had not received any military training. They were only responsible for carrying weapons and cleaning the battlefield. Facing the Huns who were staring at the city, they panicked.The cowardly, when they saw the flying arrows, fell down on the ground with their heads in their hands and screamed in fright. The more foolish and bold, without a strong sense of self-protection, stretched out their heads and threw stones down the city, and were pierced by the Xiongnu's arrow.There was chaos on the city wall for a while, and as the death toll increased, the corvee fighters began to be timid. No matter how loudly Zhou Gang yelled at them, they refused to show up again.

"Woo~~" The enemy's horn blew again.

Zhao Yuansong knew that the Huns were about to charge again, and Changyang Pass was at its most critical moment!

Zhao Yuansong ran up to Duke Ding, followed Duke Ding's gaze, and saw a crowd of Huns forming a formation, pushing siege vehicles and ladders, covering the scimitar soldiers behind , ready to attack the defensive gap of the city gate tower.

Zhao Yuansong took a rough look and found that there were almost [-] Huns under the city.After several days of fighting, the Xiongnu had obviously calculated the strength of Changyang Pass troops, and they came out in full force, trying to crush them by numbers.

The task of the male god is arduous, and Zhao Yuansong hopes that he can complete the task safely and return smoothly.

"Looks like we won't be able to go back to celebrate the New Year!" Duke Ding sighed for no reason, then turned to Deng Mian, who was covered in dirt, and said, "Go and get Lao Tzu's eight-foot heavy spear."

Deng Mian agreed, turned around and ran down the city wall.

The wind was fierce and the snow was dense, and the cold wind made Ding Guogong's robe flutter. He said to Zhao Yuansong, "son, you can go back to the post house to find Steward Wang in a while. Let you take advantage of the chaos and get away."

"Father!" Zhao Yuansong's heart trembled.

"Hey, go home and be filial to your mother."

"Father, don't say such things, we will definitely get through it." Hearing the old man's entrustment, Zhao Yuansong thought that Duke Ding was going to live and die with the people of the whole city.Although he has only been married into Dingguo's mansion for a few days, he feels genuine care and unprecedented warmth in this home.Maybe everyone is looking at Feng Jingde's face and loves his house and crows to him, but this intention comes from the heart.

The Feng family put righteousness first, for the country, for the people, even if they sacrifice their lives.They are out-and-out heroes, which is why they are loved by all people.

The proud back of the old man in the wind and snow is like an invincible spear, like an indomitable pine, like an unyielding mountain, supporting Beixuan thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

Zhao Yuansong's heart was full of emotions, and he couldn't help singing: "Is it called Wuyi? I am in the same robe as my son. Wang Yuxing master, repair my spear, and have the same hatred with you! Do you say Wuyi? Same Ze with Zi, Wang Yuxing teacher, repair me Spears and halberds, work together with your son! How can you say that you have no clothes, and you wear the same clothes as your son. The king Yu Xingshi, repair my armor, and walk with you!"

Zhao Yuansong walked resolutely to Ding Guogong's side: "Father, I won't leave. I marry into the Feng family and I become the Feng family. The Feng family has no cowards. If you want to fight, you will fight, and you will never back down!"

Duke Ding was amused, his eyes were wet, he raised his hand and stroked his dog's head, "Damn, I know your father and I are not educated, and you still say such polite words." Putting down his hands, he turned his head to the city and started to attack The Xiongnu army laughed and said, "However, should you sing this word to De'er?"

"..." Zhao Yuansong felt his face burning hot, he was really embarrassed to show off in front of the male god.

The surrounding guards heard this poem in their ears, and they also felt the pride of fighting side by side and sharing life and death together.

"Hahaha." Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Dingguo laughed heartily.Pointing to the Xiongnu army who started to charge under the city, he said: "Aren't you afraid? These wolves are not kind. I killed the one who tried to assassinate them. They may massacre the city for revenge."

"Not afraid!"

"Okay, then let's fight with Weifu." Ding Guogong stretched out his hand and asked for a curved bow from the archers beside him, and shot at the Huns' siege vehicle first, and several guards around him also drew their bows and arrows, As the arrows flew across, the Huns' siege engines were getting closer and closer.

The siege vehicle was built with a few pieces of wood, surrounded by thick animal skins. This kind of untanned leather is tough and hard, and ordinary arrows can't penetrate it at all. The Huns hid behind and slowly approached the city wall. He didn't care about Beixuan's bow and arrow at all.

Duke Ding frowned, and raised his hand to stop his personal guards from attacking.At this moment, Deng Mian came back with two spears on his shoulders, handed out Duke Ding's heavy spear, and left one in his hand.Don't look at Deng Mian who is usually aggressive and aggressive, but at this severe moment, he frowned and looked solemn, with a sassy air all over his body, and he really had the air of a little general who commanded thousands of troops.

"Woo~woo~" Two short horns sounded, and the Huns fired all their arrows, and everyone on the city wall took cover urgently.

Zhao Yuansong saw from the seepage under the wall that the Huns took the opportunity to set up the siege ladder on the wall, and our army had no chance to fight back.
