Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were already brothers and sisters, and one of them had been leading the army for nearly ten years, so there was no need for any extra etiquette.
When Xia Houlan had just left, the Wuhuan army suddenly separated.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun raised his binoculars and began to observe carefully.
In the Wuhuan army formation, a man in his early thirties, under the protection of dozens of strong personal guards, slowly walked out of the passage.
The group of them came to a distance of about 130 steps outside the city and stopped, and the guards behind the man shouted to the defenders on the city wall: "Han guards, listen up!
Our leader is one of the three kings who sat down at Tadun Shanyu, Qiao Wang Su Puyan!
My king is kind, as long as property and women!
If you are sensible, open the door and offer the city. If you dare to resist, when we break through the city gate, the city will be bloodbathed, and no one will be left behind! "
"..."
After the man shouted triumphantly, he was about to hear the begging for mercy from the Han people...unexpectedly, there was silence on the top of the city, and there was no response at all.
The personal guard couldn't hold back anymore... He looked angry and shouted twice, "Surrender quickly, or..."
"..."
It's still quiet on the top of the city... It's like a wild dog is barking under the city, and it doesn't attract anyone's attention at all...
The personal guard was extremely ashamed and angry, and wanted to shout again, but Su Puyan snorted coldly and said: "I don't know how to praise..."
After finishing speaking, Su Puyan turned around and headed towards the Chinese army.
On the way back, Su Puyan ordered in an extremely cold voice: "Siege the city! After the city is broken, you are allowed to slaughter the city for three days!"
Chapter 363 Run, run!
The purpose of Wuhuan cavalry's trip is very clear.
Now that they have surrounded Zhuoxian County, how could they not prepare siege equipment?What's more, they have the support of the Yuan brothers behind them, and the siege equipment must have been prepared long ago.
After the order to siege the city was issued, the Wuhuan people dismounted and rushed towards the city, screaming and screaming.
The Wuhuan people who ran at the front carried the ladder; those who were slower behind pushed the battering ram and held the shield and walked slowly towards the city gate; the last were the archers holding bows and arrows. After a short distance, he began to shoot arrows towards the top of the city.
Arrow rain strikes!
Seeing that the Wuhuan people had actually launched an attack on the city wall, the defenders on the city wall began to panic.
But the panic was only fleeting, and they were veterans who had fought many battles anyway.Now that the war has started, each should perform his duties and just stand still.
At this time, Zhang Nan and the somewhat drunk Jiao Touch also came to the city wall after hearing the news.
Seeing that their own general had also arrived, the morale of the defenders instantly rose.
After Zhang Nan waited for the rain of arrows from the Huns to fall, he stretched his neck and looked out of the city. He immediately couldn't help laughing, and said, "Hehe! Just the ladder and battering ram?"
To be honest, after seeing all kinds of terrifying siege weapons in the Central Plains, the original combination of ladders and battering rams really makes people feel a little too childish.
Although there were as many Wuhuan people as ants, Zhang Nan didn't panic at all.
After the enemy entered the distance of eighty steps, he finally gave the order: "Shoot the arrow!"
The defenders had been avoiding the bows and arrows of the Huns before, holding back a lot of uselessness... Now they finally got the order to fight back, and the archers suddenly screamed one by one, and shot the bows and arrows in their hands at the enemy's Siege troops.
"Shhhhhh!"
"Ahhh!"
After a wave of arrows, the Wuhuan people fell down.
However, compared with the Wuhuan army, the arrow rain of the defenders is still a bit too sparse.
After the two sides shot each other for two rounds, the siege army had come under the city wall.
There is no moat in the county seat of Zhuo County, and any position on the city wall can become a place for Wuhuan people to attack.
Hundreds of aerial ladders were rolled out at the same time, and for a while, dense aerial ladders were built on the city wall.
The soldiers of Wuhuan held machetes in their mouths, shielded their heads with one hand, and climbed up the ladder with the other hand.
The ladder was already leaning against the wall, and Zhang Nan was unambiguous, and immediately ordered to smash the wood and roll the stone, and smash it down desperately.
When the Wuhuan people were raiding the surrounding area before, Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch secretly hoarded a lot of wood and rolling stones. Although they thought that the Wuhuan people would probably not attack the city, they were always prepared.
Unexpectedly, it was such a preparedness idea that they had enough weapons to deal with the Wuhuan people who were besieging the city.Every time he thought of this, Zhang Nan couldn't help but feel lucky.
Nomads are not good at siege, they don't have as many tricks and routines as the Central Plains people did.
The way to go back and forth is,
"rush!"
"Give me a hard push!"
"All those who are not dead, charge up!"
With such a siege intensity, not to mention breaking the city, there are very few Wuhuan people who even climbed the city wall.
The battering ram is still a bit threatening, but under the greeting of fierce fire oil above the city gate, this thing is nothing more than a flaming big club in the end...
Seeing that his first wave of attack was beaten back so easily, Su Puyan immediately yelled at the city gate angrily: "Damn Han dog, this king is not finished with you! Continue to attack the city! After Po, I will kill all the Han people, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
......
In the blink of an eye, more than two hours had passed since the siege battle.
Except for a short rest, the Wuhuan people never stopped attacking the city.
But what made Su Puyan very painful was that in just over two hours, he attacked five times in total, but only once did thousands of soldiers climb the city wall; Trembling slightly, as if about to fall but still not falling... But other than that, there is no other gain.
Seeing that the sun had already slanted to the west, Su Puyan, who was unwilling to do so, decided to attack with the whole army for the last time.
"Boys, you are wolves on the prairie! You are the sons of the invincible wolf god!" Su Puyan began to boost morale, "The Han people are no longer able to survive, they will only hide behind high walls and survive. rule!"
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
The Wuhuan people began to shout loudly, and when the rich and prosperous Central Plains world was mentioned, their morale immediately strengthened again.
"Boys, attack with the whole army! Break through the city, and all the Han people and property in the city are at your disposal!"
"Ouch!!"
It has always been a brave man who is rewarded heavily, and this group of prairie barbarians are even more excited by the killing and money at this moment, their eyes are red.
"attack!!!"
"Kill!!!"
"Kill all! Kill all!"
Under Su Puyan's encouragement and urging, the soldiers of Wuhuan rushed towards the city wall of the county again as if they had gone mad.
This time the attack was so powerful that even Zhang Nan, who had always been calm, couldn't help but change his face.
"Wow!"
The Wuhuan people attacked the city walls and gates completely regardless of losses, and the defenders were suppressed by the opponent's momentum, and immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing that more and more Wuhuan people climbed the city wall, Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan had no choice but to take up their swords and go to battle in person.
This group of Wuhuan people squeezed desperately towards the city wall as if they had been beaten to death.
Seeing that the defenders on the city wall had been suppressed and were about to be defeated, Su Puyan finally looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "The Han city? That's all! Hahaha!"
However, just when Su Puyan raised his head and laughed, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound of horseshoes behind him!
Feeling the slight rhythmic vibration of the ground, how could Su Puyan not realize that this is the sound and vibration caused by the cavalry sprinting at full speed?
Turning his head, Su Puyan looked back and thought, "Which tribe wants to take advantage of this opportunity?"
However, when the distant cavalry came close enough, some Wuhuan people who had participated in the battle against Cao Cao finally recognized their identities!
"It's not the cavalry of other tribes, it's the flag of Cao Jun!"
"It's Cao Jun's dragon riding battalion!!!"
"My god! Zhao Zilong is here!! Run for your life!!!"
Because Su Puyan ordered the whole army to attack the city, the Chinese army he is in now has only a thousand personal guards.
Grassland people value bravery most, and Zhao Yun, a peak fighter who can walk sideways almost anywhere, is even more legendary by those who participated in the war against Cao Cao with the Yuan family.
Now, in the face of Zhao Yun and Longqiying, who made the Wuhuan people fearful, the guards around Su Puyan lost all their fighting spirit in an instant.
"Why did Cao Cao's cavalry appear at this juncture?"
"The purpose of letting them board the city is to create a sneak attack opportunity for the cavalry ambushing outside the city!"
Su Puyan felt that even if he was a pig, he should understand that he had been tricked by now!
Looking at the dragon riding battalion that was getting closer and closer, and a group of trembling personal guards around him, Su Butan could only roar aggrievedly, "Retreat! The whole army retreats!"
Chapter 364 Zhao Yun's Junior Sister?
Youzhou was invaded by the Wuhuan people two years ago, and Qianzhao led an army in Guangyang to resist the Wuhuan people's invasion.
But not all Wuhuan cavalry stayed in Guangyang honestly to confront the leading army, and some Wuhuan people needed to "hunt" around and plunder the supplies and food needed by the army from all over Youzhou.
Liangxiang County, which is not too far from Guangyang, was naturally abused by the Wuhuan people.
At that time, Liujia Village was about to be massacred by the Wuhuan people, and there happened to be a female ranger named Zhou Yan who traveled here.
From Jizhou to Bingzhou, and from Bingzhou to Youzhou... Zhou Yan has been looking for his lost brother.
After Zhou Yan was separated from her younger brother Zhou Hong when she was a teenager, she ran into Tong Yuan...Because of her natural strength and excellent aptitude, she was taken by Tong Yuan as a closed disciple.
When he was in Bingzhou, Zhou Yan accidentally got a clue...a local scholar said that he saw a man who was somewhat similar to Zhou Yan's description.Later, Zhou Yan followed the clues to find Shangdang, and from Shangdang to Taiyuan... Finally, someone said that he went to Youzhou...
After trekking for thousands of miles, Zhou Yan finally followed the clues to Liangxiang, Youzhou... But in the end, he came with hope and returned with disappointment... The person the clue pointed to was found, but it was not the person she wanted The person I was looking for.
Extremely disappointed and confused, Zhou Yan happened to see the Wuhuan people in Tucun when he passed by Liujia Village.
She didn't want to be nosy at first, but amidst the screams of the villagers, she finally couldn't help but shot and killed the group of about ten Wuhuan people.
Out of gratitude to Zhou Yan for saving his life, the villagers were extremely grateful, and Zhou Yan finally chose to stay after their kindness persuaded him to stay.
After years of running around, there is still no news of his younger brother Zhou Hong. Zhou Yan, who is physically and mentally exhausted, also wants to take a break for a while.
Although Zhou Yan is also a student of Tong Yuan, her marksmanship is far from as exquisite as Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu, but she has an advantage that neither Zhao Yun nor Zhang Xiu has, that is, great strength!
The spear she used was specially selected by Tong Yuan for her, an extremely heavy cold iron spear.
Those dozen or so Wuhuan people back then, as long as they were shot down by Zhou Yan, regardless of whether they were soldiers or captains, they would all die with shattered muscles and bones!
The simple villagers are extremely grateful for her life-saving grace, and Zhou Yan's life in Liujia Village is naturally very comfortable.
Two years later, Liujia Village, located in a remote area outside Liangxiang County, has changed a lot.
Under the guidance of Zhou Yan, a dozen or so young adults in the village have learned some skills, and the whole village has become a well-known hometown of bravery.
In the early morning, some villagers can often be seen practicing marksmanship in the open space of the village or in their own yards.
Although it is only the simplest basic movements such as stabbing and picking, even if it is placed in the army, it can be regarded as the outstanding one.
Peaceful days are always precious.
It has only been two years since Ansheng, and to the surprise of all the people in Youzhou, the Yuan brothers took the initiative to open the door and let the Wuhuan people enter.The peaceful life that was so hard to come by was ruthlessly broken again.
Very late in the evening.
Zhou Yan had just returned to the village from outside, and before he returned to his small yard, he saw cooking smoke floating over the village from afar.
Although the Wuhuan people had already reached Zhuo County, Liujia Village was lucky enough to escape because of the remoteness of the village and the fact that the Wuhuan people basically only went to counties with more resources.
Go back to the village.
Many children saw Zhou Yan and happily invited her to their home for dinner.Seeing these lively and energetic children, her slightly heavy mood also improved a little.
Days... It's good to have enough food and clothing, and no serious illness or catastrophe. It's just plain and simple, and I'm happy.
It's a pity that in this troubled world where human life is so trivial, even such a simple life has become a luxury for the common people.
As soon as Zhou Yan returned to his room, before everyone could sit down and rest for a while, a group of soldiers suddenly came from outside the village, soldiers under Yuan Xi's command.
Although it was only a ten-member team, the ten-man commander's tall and majestic appearance, as well as the long knife hanging on his waist, still had a great deterrent effect on the common people.
"Your Liujia Village seems to be quite famous in this place!" The ten husband said to the hunched village with a half-smile.
