The Huns had been besieging Gaonu for more than forty days, and they carried out a total of sieges, all ending in failure. Early this morning, the sound of trumpets in the Huns camp came one after another, which was a sign of a large-scale attack.

On the top of the city, more than 4,000 Han soldiers stood densely on the wall, silently staring at the Hun army outside the city. Each soldier showed a sense of perseverance. Although he had encountered a test of siege, the soldiers in the city became more and more brave and had no sign of decline.

Zhang Ren looked at the Huns army outside the city with a hint of mocking in his eyes. Last night, he sent fifty soldiers to secretly go down the city and secretly tampered with the outside of the city. Unexpectedly, the Huns attacked the city on a large scale today. He was looking forward to an exciting scene.

The 100,000 Huns outside the city had all crossed the water. A few miles away, a group of soldiers lined up for battle, with swords and guns like forests and flags like clouds, stretching for more than ten miles, forming a huge circle, where they surrounded Gaonu City.

Dongdongdongdong, with a diameter of one meter, was beating, and the sound was shocking. This was the order for the attack. The 20,000 Huns army carried a huge siege ladder and attacked the north wall.

Among the four city walls, the terrain is very dangerous on the east and south sides. Only the north wall is slightly slower and you can attack with a siege ladder.

The Huns were still one and a half miles away from the city wall, and the drums suddenly became dense. The 20,000 Huns were shouting and rushed towards the city wall. The defenders on the city wall watched the Huns nervously and expectantly, as if waiting for something to happen.

Forty medium-sized trenchers on the front of the city began to squeak and twist, and the long propeller bent backwards, and the accumulated potential energy reached.

Outside the city was a piece of weed, with people at their knees. The Hun army rushed over. Thousands of people rushing in front suddenly wailed and fell to the ground. They stepped on the caltrops scattered in the grass. There were four inch-long spikes on this caltrop. When they were scattered on the ground, there was always a spike facing upwards. The caltrops were refined in a highly poisonous way. Once they were stabbed, they would be disabled at the least and fatal at the worst.

In addition to the caltrops, there are countless caves of horses, with an inch-long poisonous iron thorn inserted into the hole. Many Hun soldiers stepped into the hole, and the long spikes pierced the insteps. The attack on the Huns were caught off guard. More than a thousand people fell down and howled and cried, with sorrow all over the field. Even more terrifying was that their legs began to turn black and swollen, and the pain was unbearable. Many people rolled and howled for a moment, and then they died of poisonousness.

"Cut off their legs"

The siege lord Mei Li found something wrong and immediately shouted loudly. His bloody thighs were cut off, and the injured Hun soldiers were dragged back one after another. At this moment, a strange sound came from the sky, as if the sound of a flock of pigeons hovering in the sky.

The Hun soldiers looked up at the sky, and saw black dots appearing in the sky, roaring towards their heads, getting closer and closer, and a terrifying shout suddenly erupted from the Huns' army. They turned out to be huge rocks, and they ran away in all directions.

A huge rock weighed down and rolled into the crowd. Screamed with screams, blood plasma splattered everywhere, and several people were hit into flesh mud. The huge rocks knocked over more than a dozen people in a row, and the worst ones were seriously injured, and the worst ones were corpses. Nearly two huge rocks rolled in the crowd. The Huns were killed and injured. Immediately afterwards, the second wave of the huge rock groups came roaring again.

Hu Chuquan stood on the stone fort on the south bank to watch the battle. Although it was separated by, he still knew very well in the clear weather.

He didn't care about the Han army's catapult counterattack, but many soldiers were cut off their legs by themselves, which made him puzzled. Liu Qubei next to him had experience, and he pondered for a moment: "It should be because the soldiers were tired of stepping on poisonous caltrops and being poisoned, so that they would be like this."

Hu Chuquan suddenly realized that it was indeed the case. He asked again: "If so, how should we crack it?"

"It's easy to use the grass weed weed in winter to dry it in front, and the poisonous terrestrial thorns will be stuck."

Hu Chuquan nodded and immediately ordered: "Send orders to withdraw troops."

The bell rang, and the 20,000 Huns troops retreated like a tide, leaving corpses on the battlefield.

......

At noon, the huge war drums were ringing again, and the low horn sounded across the earth. This time, Liu Qubei personally led the Ten Thousand Xiongnu troops to fight. They rushed in like a tide, holding shields in their hands, carrying several stairs of climbing the city, one by one, one by one, and shouting to kill the sky.

At the front are huge grass mills, which are actually Han people's wheels, about two feet long, and are wrapped in a layer of sheepskin outside, which is usually used to crush hay. However, when putting on the battlefield, it is an effective way to deal with poisonous terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial

The Huns were running against the sound of attacking drums, and behind them were more than a thousand confidant guards of Liu Qubei, who were fighting against each other. Ten thousand troops were full of murderous auras and rushed towards the city. At this time, Huchuquan sent another 20,000 troops to join the attacking team, turning into a 50,000 army to attack Gaonu City. Several siege ladders, nest cars, and stone catapults mixed in the army. The 50,000 army was dense like an ant colony, and it was vast and covered with the wilderness outside Gaonu City.

This time, the Huns became smart. They used grass to crush them and wade out dozens of safe attack lines, so that the Huns' army could escape the assassination on the ground, but they could not escape the stonehenge above their heads. Several huge rocks roared from the sky, rolled among the Huns, and flesh and blood flew everywhere, screams resounded throughout the field. A nest car was concentrated by the huge rocks. The nest car blossomed in the air, giant trees flew around, and the bodies flew away. The nest car scattered, and another huge siege ladder was hit, and the ladder was smashed, and the siege ladder fell down, and he lay on the ground and could no longer move.

One after another, huge rocks hit the crowd, and shrill screams kept coming. The huge fear caused the morale of the Huns to decline. Many Hun soldiers turned around and wanted to run away. Liu Qubei was prepared. Qian Shiwei Army held a knife and pressed the formation behind him. The Hun soldiers who escaped from the formation were chopped to the ground.

The Huns had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward. As the Huns army advanced forward, the archery battle between the two sides broke out. Four thousand Han troops fired arrows down on both sides of the battlements of the city wall. There were archery outlets on the city wall of Gaonu City, which could be used as cover.

The bee crossbow shot arrows at an elevation angle behind, while the Huns army was dominated by the dense number of people. The arrows on both sides were like rain, woven into a black net of arrows in the sky. The Huns suffered heavy casualties, and the Han army also suffered casualties, and people kept screaming and being shot in the arrow.

In the dense rain of arrows, the Huns began to cross the moat and approach the city wall. To the Huns' surprise, the moat had no water, just a large trench two meters deep and five meters wide. However, whether there was water in the moat was meaningless to the Huns' army. They put on wooden boards that were scattered, causing the moat to lose its defensive effect.

Dozens of large siege ladders were put on the top of the city wall, and the soldiers climbed up like ants, shouting and killing sounds shook the sky.

At this time, the nest cart rumbled and drove. The Huns' nest cart was temporarily made by several Huns' craftsmen. They learned from Han craftsmen, but they were more clumsy than the nest carts of the Central Plains army and moved slowly. Each nest cart had to be dragged by dozens of cows.

The first nest car attacked the city wall step by step, full of eighty Hun soldiers, each holding a spear and a shield, and followed more than two people below, shooting arrows upwards.

The nest car slowly approached the city wall, less than fifty steps away from the city wall. Zhang Ren stared at the nest car and turned around and shouted: "Stone Cannon Preparation"

The Han army's cross stone cannons began to exert their power. The stone cannon was actually an extremely large bed crossbow. The stone cannon was 1 zhang long and the bow arm was 1 zhang long. It was made of beef tendon or hemp rope, and was placed on a specially built turret, controlled by ten soldiers, and was sterned with a winch.

The stone cannon fires a polished stone bullet weighing about fifty or sixty kilograms and a range of up to seventy steps. Special soldiers are responsible for range measurement and aiming, mainly for dealing with nest vehicles.

"Come here"

A treasury leader pointed at the nest car slowly approaching and shouted: "Sight the old strings"

Eight soldiers pushed the long winch rod, and the huge bowstring was creaking and buckled on the string hook. A soldier fed a stone bullet into the shooting trough. The treasury leader was also aiming his hand. He lay on the crossbow, staring at Wangshan, shouting: "Half a minute to the east"

There was a carving on the ground behind the stone cannon, and the soldiers lifted the stone cannon and moved east for half a moment.

"Okay" Tunchang shouted.

He jumped off the stone cannon, stared at the nest car for a moment, yelled, "launched"

The two soldiers pulled out the string hook suddenly, and with a loud crack, a rock bullet flew out strongly from the shooting trough, roaring towards the nest car fifty steps away.

With a loud bang, the nest car was hit by a stone bullet, and a pillar and beam broke. The nest car shook violently, but it did not fall apart and continued to move forward.

"Damn it, come back"

The head of the Tun cursed, and ten soldiers were stolen again, but the direction did not need to be adjusted. Another stone bullet shot out strongly, hitting the nest car again. It was shot twice in a row. A belt tied to the beam of the nest car owner finally released. The nest car instantly tilted and collapsed, and eighty soldiers screamed and fell down.

The soldiers below cheered and praised the power of the stone cannon. The chief of the treasury scratched the back of his head and laughed and scolded: "Damn it, I don't believe it, I can't destroy it."

Although the Huns' nest chariots were defeated one by one by the Han army's stone cannons and did not exert their power, the Huns' siege posed a huge threat to the Han army.

The Huns used long wooden boards to build a moat two meters wide to serve as a bridge. Nearly 50,000 Huns' army rushed over. Without temptation to attack, they directly launched a fierce attack.

The Han army arrows on the top of the city were like rain, shooting densely at the Hun soldiers, without shields, and a large number of Huns were shot down. However, the Huns were densely packed. Although they did not have a catapult, the power of the arrows was insufficient, and the siege ladder was very sharp.

Several city ladders were built on the top of the city, and iron hooks were hooked on the walls. More than 10,000 Hun vanguards began to climb up and attack. The big stones and wood were smashed like hail. A series of enemy troops were hit and rolled down from the air with screams, but new enemy troops continued to attack.

Under the city, tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops began to counterattack with arrows to cover the city. The arrows were densely packed like a net and shot towards the defenders on the city. The defenders on the city began to suffer casualties, and thousands of people were shot by arrows. The Han army was pressed behind the female wall and could not raise their heads. They could only use shields to cover them and shoot arrows from the shooting hole.

At this time, a dangerous situation occurred in Dongcheng. The first batch of Xiongnu troops rushed to the city and began to fight fiercely with Han soldiers. More and more Xiongnu troops rushed to the city. The situation in Dongcheng was extremely critical.

Wu Lan roared and waved the mace to rush into the enemy group. He danced the 60-pound mace to beat the left and right. He was very skilled in martial arts and extremely powerful, which made the Huns soldiers fly and their brains burst. The Huns were shocked by his courage and retreated one after another. Several Han troops behind Wu Lan rushed forward and fought bravely to kill the enemy, and finally killed all the Huns who rushed to the top of the city.
