Infinite Streamer

"Boom, boom, boom!" the noisy sounds of battle rose and fell. Lü Bu, who was guarding the observation tower at the northwest gate, extended his spiritual awareness to a radius of five kilometers. He carefully observed and analyzed the Huns' deployment and formation, and then issued the first order. "No one is allowed to open fire without my order! Let the Huns get close to the city, and wait until the sound of my artillery fire is heard, then concentrate your firepower!"

The messenger Xiaoqi quickly arranged several soldiers to run to the four city gate arrow towers to convey Lu Bu's orders.

There is no moon tonight, but there are countless stars twinkling in the sky, and the starlight flashes from time to time.

Not far away, from the top of the city wall, one could see with the naked eye that a large number of Hun cavalry were galloping towards the city wall. Their iron or leather armor was all black, and the sharp blades of the swords, spears, and halberds in their hands flashed a cold light in the dark night.

The Xiongnu cavalry were truly flexible soldiers on the battlefield, able to flexibly and quickly adjust their charge formations. At this moment, they were quickly approaching the walls of the ancient city of Machi. Their war horses were constantly neighing, and they were still equipped with two horses per man (such a configuration could maintain the physical strength of the war horses and the flexibility and mobility of the cavalry. The reason why the ancient cavalry corps were so powerful was that they used the speed and weight of the horses to sprint on the battlefield, just like modern armored vehicles. The so-called flexible soldiers on the battlefield mainly emphasize their tactical mobility. They can disrupt the enemy's offensive rhythm and battle formation, quickly adjust their formations to attack the enemy's flanks, and continue to charge with the momentum of a great victory, or quickly escape if the momentum is not right).

The roar of the Huns also resounded through the sky of the ancient city of Machi. As they gradually approached, the distance from the city wall was only thirty to fifty meters, and the horses slowed down. Three other teams of people and horses were separated and headed towards the other city gates.

The Hun cavalry adjusted their formation and began to charge the city walls with heavy weapons and spears. Their horses galloped at high speed under the city, and the momentum was quite astonishing.

Some of the Hun cavalry had already abandoned their horses and began to climb the city wall with all their might. They used sharp swords, spears, swords and halberds to chop the rammed earth on the wall in an attempt to break through it.

Lu Bu adjusted the elevation angles of several mortars, aimed at the relatively concentrated positions of the Huns, and then fired several mortar shells.

After a few muffled "boom boom boom" sounds, the shells with sparks flew straight towards the Hun cavalry who had just stabilized their formation, and then made a deafening explosion.

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky, and many Xiongnu cavalrymen were caught off guard and were blown up into the sky, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The Xiongnu cavalrymen who were not hit by the shells were also dizzy and at a loss. The horses that had never experienced the baptism of artillery fire and lost control were like crazy, kicking and trampling around.

The light and heavy machine gunners on the city walls and arrow towers also aimed their Maxim heavy machine guns and Type 99 light machine guns at the Hun soldiers below the city and began shooting frantically, but they tried not to shoot directly at the horses, because Lu Bu had emphasized in the previous pre-war mobilization that they should try not to hurt the horses.

The throwers also threw drawn grenades into the crowd of Hun cavalry, while the archers raised their bows and arrows, killing the enemies one by one.

The other soldiers on the city wall tried their best to shoot arrows, but the iron and leather armor of the Hun cavalry were indestructible, and the bows and arrows could only make "ding-dong-dong" metal collision sounds on them, and it was obvious that the lethality was extremely limited.
