Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty - Chapter 997

Chapter 997

“Children, come with me, hurry!”

“drive!”

Zhang Liao yelled, riding a horse and galloping, five thousand Bianzhou cavalry followed Zhang Liao and launched a rapid march. Although the cavalry rides on horses, they also pity the horsepower when they march, because the horses are their good partners, and only when the situation is urgent, they will urge them at all costs.

…

“Haha, let go of arrows!”

Zonu yelled in Xianbei language, and the 10,000 Xianbei cavalry behind him also screamed loudly, whizzing past Qiangyin City. Everyone had a bow in their hands, but they were not made of iron. The Xianbei people are not so lavish now. They will have to wait for the establishment of the Northern Wei Dynasty two hundred years from the Xianbei people before they will have powerful cavalry to sweep the North and South of the Yellow River.

The Xianbei grew up on horseback, and naturally everyone was proficient in riding and shooting. These 10,000 people received Zonu’s order and aimed their bows and arrows at Qiang Yin City.

“Hold your head down, hide behind the female wall, and raise your shield!”

Qiangyin County Lieutenant commanded loudly that hundreds of county soldiers and nearly a thousand people who had been temporarily recruited hurriedly hid behind the female wall, raising their shields to protect themselves.

Whoosh whoosh!

Thousands of arrows rushed from outside the city, all of which fell on the top of the city, splashing on the shield like raindrops, constantly making a “beep” sound, mixed with some screams The sound, obviously someone was injured by the arrow.

The county lieutenant roared: “Cover the wound with the arrow, don’t pull it out yet, hold back!”

There was a scar on the county lieutenant’s face. He was obviously a veteran who had been in battle, otherwise he would not serve as a county lieutenant.

“Captain, can we hold it?”

A recruit tremblingly grabbed the shield and asked. The county lieutenant turned his head, only to see that he was young, less than twenty years old, and there was a heartfelt fear in his pupils.

“Don’t worry, although the enemy has a large number of troops, they are just cavalry. Have you ever seen a cavalry attacking a city?”

The county lieutenant comforted: “As long as we keep guard and close the city gate, it is impossible for the enemy to come in. Hold on for a few days, and Wenhou and Xu Zhengbei’s reinforcements will arrive, and then it will be safe.”

“It’s not good, the county lieutenant! They have a dash!”

“what?”

The county lieutenant’s complexion suddenly changed. He raised his head under a shield and looked around. He saw that the Zonu army suddenly separated from it, and a rush cart was launched inside. Although this rush cart was rougher in shape, it was indeed one. A rush car.

“Broken…” The county lieutenant’s forehead fell with cold sweat. Qiangyin City is just a small county town with weak defense capabilities. Even a rushing car is very dangerous. And there are tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry outside the city, it is almost impossible to risk destroying this assault vehicle.

“Rush up, hit!”

Hundreds of Xianbei people gathered around the rushing cart and slowly stepped forward, and the swaying rushing cart had already aimed at the gate of Qiangyin City.

“Let’s throw arrows, pour kerosene! Destroy this assault vehicle anyway, otherwise Qiangyin City will be over, and the villagers in the city will become slaves to the Xianbei!” the county lieutenant shouted.

Both the Han sergeant and Min Zhuang also knew how powerful the car was, and could not avoid the arrow rain, so they hurriedly stood up, trying to pour kerosene down the city.

“Archery!”

Whoosh whoosh!

“what!”

However, thousands of Xianbei cavalry have long been waiting for them. They were cavalry when they attacked, and now they can be used as archers. They are really a panacea. The Xianbei cavalry had excellent riding and shooting skills. Under their arrow rain, the Han sergeant and Minzhuang on the head of the city were shot down immediately, and screams one after another.

Under the intensive firepower of the Xianbei cavalry, the soldiers of the Han sergeants were unable to support them at all. They were hit by arrows. One of them was even more unlucky. He was hit by more than a dozen arrows by the concentrated fire, and all his leather armor was shot. With sore holes, the whole person was shot by the power of the arrow and withdrew.

“hit!”

boom!

The chariot rushed forward fiercely, and slammed heavily on the gate of Qiangyin City, suddenly making a dull sound. The fragile gate of Qiangyin City was hit by such an overwhelmed creak.

Zonu was overjoyed: “Okay, hit it again!”

Boom!

After several consecutive hits by the rushing car, cracks have begun to appear on the city gate, I am afraid it will be knocked open in less than a quarter of an hour.

“Go down, block the gate with something, come on!”

At the order of the county lieutenant, hundreds of Han sergeants and Min Zhuang hurriedly rolled off, picked up rocks and wood to block behind the city gate, and at the same time rushed on with their own bodies.

Boom!

The rushing car slammed into the city gate once again, and the Han soldiers and Min Zhuang who were against the city gate felt a shock and were very uncomfortable.

“Keep hitting!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the constant impact of the rushing cars, the city gate was already crumbling, and some Han soldiers who were protecting the city gate could not help but vomit blood. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the gate of Qiang Yin was knocked open.

The county lieutenant looked gloomy, pulled out the ring-head knife on his waist, and shouted: “Everyone holds the sword, go down to the tower, and fight the Xianbei!”

Qiangyin City is just a small city. Most of the military forces are temporarily conscripted people. They have not received much training. They have an instinctive fear of war, but at this moment they have a determined look on their faces.

“Brothers, if the Xianbei people break through the city gate, the old folks in the city will be gone and they will all become their slaves.” The county lieutenant said in a deep voice, “We may not be the opponents of these Xianbei people, but we can’t do anything. Don’t do it, otherwise the old folks will be over…”

“County lieutenant, stop talking! Let’s rush down and fight with these Xianbei people!”

“That’s right, fight them!”

“We can die, but our parents, wives and children cannot be their slaves!”

“Okay, I deserve to be my big man!” The county lieutenant said loudly, “Zhuanghou once said that anyone who violates my strong man will be punished even if he is far away. In the future, the general will avenge us and kill!”

“kill!”

boom!

Under the impact of the rushing car, the city gate was finally knocked open, and Zonu grinned and said: “Children, go in! Grab their treasures and turn them into our slaves!”

“kill!”

The city gate was smashed open, and the Xianbei cavalry took advantage of the situation and rushed into the city, while the Han sergeants stationed in the gate cave fought desperately with the Xianbei cavalry.

“thorn!”

Puff!

The spearman stabbed and sent the spear blade into the Xianbei cavalry body. The man suddenly screamed and fell off his horse. However, before the Han spearman could be happy, a sharp saber fell from his shoulder. Slashing to the ribs obliquely, the spearman’s face instantly solidified and fell to the ground.

The Xianbei cavalry had a strong impact and a large number of people, but more than a thousand Han troops gathered at the city gate and relied on the terrain to sniper the enemy forcefully, blocking the Xianbei here for a while.
