Chapter 30 The first battle to seize the city
For all Han army.
The pressure to capture Kucha this time is actually not very high, because they have known about it for a long time and know the general information here.
In this way, we can know that even the Han army, which had only 600 people, could easily capture Kucha City.
But it is really rare that the Huns are attacking a large-scale attack.
Therefore, they did not hesitate at all about Lu Bu's military order.
Because everyone thinks it should be.
Reach the city easily.
When the Han soldiers appeared ten miles away, the Huns in Kucha City finally discovered the arrival of the Han army.
Because they did not participate in the war, the people sent by the tribes were not unified in mobilization, so the information transmission was not complete.
In addition, most of them were solved by Lu Bu using the advantages of the martial arts record.
In this way, the Huns in Kucha were like blind people.
If someone hadn't looked outside the city boredly at the lookout platform, they would have reacted only if the army rushed to the gate.
The cavalry of the Han army had already begun to charge, with sword and shield soldiers following closely behind.
The Han cavalry charged forward mainly to put pressure on these Huns, so they would not be able to block the broken city walls in a short period of time.
"Chiring!!!"
The Huns' roars were heard very clearly as Lu Bu rushed closer and closer.
These Huns were simply not good at defending cities.
But there were dozens of people standing on the broken city walls, with bows and arrows in their hands.
As for most of the Huns, they were panicked and attacked outside the city wall. Depending on the situation, they planned to use their advantages to fight Lu Bu and others.
Because the first one was the Han cavalry, the number of people was limited.
So when Lu Bu and others rushed over quickly, the Hun cavalry had already gathered, and more Hun cavalry gathered. In summary, these people were more than Lu Bu's.
In this way, these Huns felt that their number of cavalry was superior. If the number of people was given, then the Han cavalry would not dare to attack the city.
However, they seemed to have ignored that the purpose of Lu Bu and others was to capture this county rather than to see if there was any chance.
"kill!"
The Han cavalry saw that the number of the Huns was not very large, so they continued to charge.
But when the Han cavalry rushed to the city, countless arrows and rains flew over the city. Although Lu Bu and others were wearing armor, they did not dare to face the flying arrows.
So he pulled his horse back.
However, the charge did not come once, and there were also cavalrymen who could ride and shoot, so they shot towards the area where the Huns were located.
During the brief encounter, there were no casualties between the two sides.
Some people in the Huns who knew Chinese were already shouting, as if they wanted to tell the Han army not to rush to the battlefield again, otherwise they would tell the Han emperor and the like.
Such threatening words don't care about Lu Bu who wants to develop.
The Han court is still thinking about how to wipe out the Yellow Turbans, and there is no time to care about these Xiongnu who are in charge of the righteousness.
You know, they have always been uneasy, and the big man has long been dissatisfied with them.
"Lord, we are here."
Lu Bu rushed forward for a while, then retreated, and at the same time, the Han cavalry surrounded the entire county town.
This will make the Huns not know which side to focus on to block the city.
And at this moment, the two hundred sword shield soldiers led by Gao Shun, who had been following him, came.
When Lu Bu saw this, he was overjoyed and asked Gao Shun to charge directly.
Gao Shun is good at this kind of charge.
Now is the opportunity.
When Gao Shun led his troops, he had already learned about the two hundred swords and shield soldiers under his command, so it was also a chance to charge now.
Some people's abilities are not just affected by the surrounding environment.
It also seems that he is born with such ability.
So under Gao Shun's lead, two hundred swords and shield soldiers rushed forward directly.
Lu Bu led the cavalry to support the surroundings.
When the Huns saw that the Han army had sword and shield soldiers, they knew that they were here to capture Kucha.
So many arrows were shot down on the city wall, but they were blocked by the shields of Gao Shun and others.
The charge of two hundred people, coupled with the broken city walls, was a huge gap.
Although there are cavalry blocking them, they are the main guard at the gap, and they do not have a long enough distance to make the horse run. In this way, they will not be as powerful as swords and shields.
Lu Bu was always following the sword and shield soldiers. The approach of these sword and shield soldiers made the Huns extremely nervous.
So they kept firing arrows, which attracted the attention of the Huns' archers and gave Lu Bu and others a chance.
"kill!"
Another shout of killing sound came out.
Lu Bu rushed up directly with his long halberd.
Waving invincible with force.
The scimitars in the hands of the Huns who wanted to block Lu Bu's charge were simply unstoppable.
So some people fell off a horse, some screamed, and some shouted.
Under the leadership of Lu Bu, the Han cavalry rushed towards the largest gap.
The gap here is five or six feet wide, which can be said to be the best breakthrough.
The sword and shield soldiers quickly stepped forward among the cavalry. Some people chopped people, some people chopped horse legs, some people protected their comrades beside them with shields, and some people were issuing orders to direct everyone how to move forward.
The ring-headed sword in Gao Shun's hand was already red. Because the general was fighting in front, the sword and shield soldiers behind him were also following step by step. Only in this way can they move forward with these bows and arrows and the Huns' scimitars.
The Kucha City Wall can be said to be a city wall that does not work much.
Because it has lost its protection.
If these Huns did not demolish the city wall, then if Lu Bu and others wanted to conquer, they would have to use people to fill it out.
Of course, because the city wall is not very high, it doesn’t take too much people to take it down.
But now, there is no need to fill in it at all. Just a sword and shield soldier raises the shield and swings the knife and pushes it over.
Because there is no decent resistance along the way.
From the beginning of charge to the attack, the Han army did not take long to defeat the Huns.
These Hun cavalry were all very skilled at the moment.
After being disrupted by the Han army, most of the casualties were killed and injured, and then the remaining 100 people rushed out of Kucha City and abandoned the city and fled.
As for the defenders on the city wall, they were soon captured by the Han army.
After all, there were archers on the city wall, and they were easily defeated by the Han army's sword and shield soldiers.
After Lu Bu defeated the defenders in the city, he immediately asked the cavalry to enter the city and then ordered people to bring the Han army's archers and halberd soldiers into the city, occupying the key places, and issued a killing order to the people in the city who dared to leave the city at this moment.
He began to take the cavalry and some halberd soldiers to suppress the Huns who were in trouble in the city.
These people will be their own labor, so Lu Bu did not use blood slaughtering against them, but detained them separately in different areas.
