Chapter 1954: Tu Shihan

The cold winter is solemn, and the climate in the north is of course very different from that in the south. For Dingwu and many guards who have lived in the south for a long time, the cold in the air does make people feel a little uncomfortable, but the Yi barbarians do not feel this way. The climate in the northern desert grassland is even worse. They are used to such coldness. Although their fur clothes are not as strong as the iron armor of the Qin army, they are more cold-resistant in this cold winter.

When the Yi barbarians were at the city, Dingwu could not have sought peace with them, and naturally there was no need to continue the negotiations.

Without seeing any movement in the city tower, Guli Jinma couldn't help but shout, "Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, did you lose the courage to talk when you saw my grassland army?" He raised his hand and pointed to the city, "We Shihan said, as long as you open the city gate and welcome us into the city, Shihan will still grant you the title of Emperor Qin. Shihan also said, as long as you are willing to bow down and surrender, Shihan is willing to help you continue to suppress the bandits."

"I am the world of Qin, why do you barbarians need to give me a title?" Dingwu smiled slightly on his lips. Although his voice was not loud, the voice was clearly heard into Guli Jinma's ears. "Tell Tu Shi, if he does not retreat, I can't say anything about others, but Tu Shi's sweat will be over. I guarantee that he will not be able to return to the grassland alive."

Gu Li Jinma laughed and said, "It is said that people in the Central Plains are arrogant and like to brag. It seems that this is true. You said you are the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, but now you only have this city. There are rebels everywhere in your Qin State, and no one obeys your orders. At this time, you are still shameless and say that you are the emperor of the Qin State. It seems that your emperor's face is better than the cowhide of gray cows in my circle!" Before he could say the last few words, a meteor-like arrow flew in front of him. He had no time to react. With a "puff", the arrow shot through his throat. Gu Li Jinma immediately fell back and fell to the ground.

The Yi barbarian cavalry beside them were all shocked. They shot arrows from the top of the city and penetrated their throats. This ability was actually not very powerful. There were many archers of the Yi barbarians. It was easy to choose such an archer, but the speed of this arrow was terrifying. What's even more terrifying is that after the arrow penetrated the throat, they actually took Guli Jinma off the horse. The strength above the arrow was also incredible.

Some of the Yiman cavalry looked up and saw a general on the top of the city retracting his longbow. The man was wearing exquisite armor, so Guli Jinma was naturally killed by him.

The Yi barbarians immediately turned around and left. One of them pulled over Guli Jinma's body and retreated in a hurry.

Guli Jinma was shot and fell off the horse. The soldiers in front of both sides naturally saw it. There was a moment of silence inside and outside the city. Then the sound of horns outside the city sounded, and there was endless shouts. Rows of cavalry rushed towards the city wall. They were as fast as flying horses, and their horses were galloping, pulling their bows and shooting arrows, and arrows were like locusts.

The defenders on the city wall heard only the tragic and sharp sound of arrows piercing the air. The air seemed to be split at that moment, followed by a "ping-ping-pong" sound, filled with sharp arrows everywhere.

"Protect the Master!" Xuanyuan Shao pulled a shield and blocked Dingwu. He had not spoken yet, but he was always by Dingwu. Gu Li Jinma was arrogant and domineering, and even mocked Dingwu, the Emperor of Qin, who is now just the lord of a city. Xuanyuan Shao was naturally not polite and shot him out. At this time, he saw the Yi barbarians rushing over and shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"

Xuanyuan Shao was the commander of the Guards. The guards guards guarding the city were all his subordinates. He was an unparalleled archer himself, and naturally focused on training their archery skills for the Guards under his command.

The Guards were originally the Royal Guards, and they were an army that had no choice but to take action. By the time the Guards came to battle, the situation must have reached a critical moment. Therefore, Xuanyuan Shao trained the Guards, and it really started from the defense. The soldiers of the Guards were strictly selected, and riding horses and shooting archery was no problem.

Xuanyuan Shao gave his order at this time, and the elite troops on the battlements instantly rose up. When the Yi barbarian cavalry rushed over, they pulled their bows and fought back, and the arrows fell like rain.

Earlier, the seven thousand Yi Barbarian cavalry launched attacks on Wuping City many times. It was precisely with the intensive sharp arrows of the Guards that they repelled the attacks of the Yi Barbarians again and again.

They were condescending, and shot arrows with great power. The horses were neighing at the city for a moment, and the Yi barbarians who rushed in front fell down in an instant.

The archers on the top of the city were divided into two rows. After the first row of arrows was shot, the team behind him immediately filled the arrows. The arrows shot by the two groups were endless. Before the Yi barbarians rushed under the city wall, they had already suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Yi barbarians did not attack hard. They circled their horses and hid outside the range of arrows on the battlements.

Seeing that the Yi barbarians retreated, the defenders at the city stopped shooting arrows. Suddenly, another horn sounded. The Yi barbarians suddenly became quiet. The military formation separated like waves. Several black-haired flags fluttered in the wind. Several Yi barbarians rushed out with their flags and lined up on both sides. Then a group of people rushed out of the middle. The horses were all wearing armor and surrounded by a man in purple brocade robe.

Dingwu's eyes were slightly raised, and the barbarians were wearing golden robes. When this person came out, he was very conspicuous in the army.

This man is not very old, less than forty years old, with a gloomy expression and a strong figure. He immediately sat upright, and his aura emanated from the air. The soldiers and generals around him were all respectful. Behind him, a red goshawk flag was raised high, roaring in the wind. Qiu Tong immediately said to Dingwu: "Sir, that flag, that flag is the king's flag that suddenly sweats!"

"It seems that he has made an appearance in person." Dingwu smiled calmly, but saw the Chi Shi Han wearing a brocade robe walking forward, surrounded by armored men, and was not far from the city. At this time, the distance was still outside the range of the archers on the city. Chu Shi Han raised his hand and pointed at the horse whip: "Emperor of Qin, I will give you a chance, but you don't cherish it. If you meet the swords and weapons, I am afraid you will regret it." His voice was extremely loud, like a thunderbolt, and it came from afar.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, and a person next to him brought a bow, and suddenly sweated and took the longbow, took an arrow, bent his bow and pointed it at the top of the city.

Many soldiers on the front of the city were dissatisfied with it. At such a distance, it was difficult to pose a threat, let alone shooting from the bottom of the city to the top of the city. Everyone felt that even if the other party shot arrows, they could not shoot above the city.

He suddenly sweated but did not hesitate at all. The bowstring was loosened, and the sharp arrow shot straight towards the city like a meteor. The arrow was full of force and speed was even slower. Many soldiers on the city suddenly showed surprise. With a "puff", the sharp arrow had already shot into the chest of a defender. The soldier turned over and fell to the ground. At this time, there was a howling sound under the city. Countless barbarian soldiers raised their hands to raise the long bow of the scimitar in their hands and shouted loudly, with an extremely spectacular momentum for a while.

Dingwu, Xuanyuan Shao and others were also a little surprised when they saw this arrow.

Although Xuanyuan Shao had unparalleled archery skills, he could shoot such an arrow, but he had to use the urging of the Bodhi finger to shoot such a sharp arrow. However, he should not know how to use the sudden sweating force. His arrow was shot entirely by his personal ability, which was extremely impressive.

Shi Shihan suddenly handed the long bow in his hand to his subordinates, then raised his hand to stroke his beard, looked at the city, his face full of pride.

Dingwu knew that the sudden attack of the sweating attack not only shaved the morale of the defenders, but also greatly strengthened the morale of the Yi barbarians. He glanced at Xuanyuan Shao. Xuanyuan Shao nodded slightly, understood Dingwu's intention, and did not speak. He took three long arrows, rose up, jumped onto the battlement, and was majestic. He used force to pull the long bow, but there were three arrows on the long bow, one bow and three arrows.

Others were in the battlement, standing in the wind, and were about to fly away. With a loud shout, he suddenly let go and shot out.

The arrows were gone, and the three arrows were fired at once. The wind was strong in the air. The three arrows pierced the air barrier and went straight to sweating. Although the soldiers on the city knew that Xuanyuan Shao's archery skills were great, not everyone had the chance to see Xuanyuan Shao. As for Xuanyuan Shao's skills of one bow and three arrows, they had been spread in the army for many years, but no one had the chance to see him in person. When they saw this, all the soldiers shouted loudly and shouted in unison, and the sound could move the sky, but they all looked at the distance with a bright look. They only hoped to be able to shoot the arrogant sudden sweating with one arrow, and the admiration in everyone's heart was even more extreme.

When Shi Shuang saw Xuanyuan Shao jumping to the battlement like a god, he knew that something was wrong. He looked shocked on his face and said in a lost voice: "Iron Shield!"

The armored warriors beside him had already been standing in front of Tu Shihan. More than a dozen guards were lined up in two rows, raising the iron shield in their hands, and lying in front of him, like two iron walls protecting Tu Shihan.

"Dangdangdang!"

Three consecutive sounds, three long arrows shot the shield accurately. Everyone immediately saw that although the long arrow failed to penetrate the iron shield, the three Yi barbarian soldiers holding the iron shield had already flew backwards like three stones, hitting heavily on the iron shield of their companions behind them. The three people behind them were also knocked out by the impact of their companions, and one of them happened to hit the sudden sweat.

Shi Khan suddenly saw the guard flying towards him, and was shocked. He never expected that Xuanyuan Shao's long arrow was so powerful. Before the man could hit him, he had already turned sideways and rolled down from the horse's back and landed on the ground. The gorgeous brocade robe on his body was immediately stuck to the snow that was trampled by the horse's hooves, and he was in a mess for a moment.

Xuanyuan Shao shot out three arrows. Although he did not shoot Tu Shihan, he still showed his power. The defenders immediately cheered like thunder. Shihan had already climbed up from the ground, his face was full of anger, pulled out the scimitar from his waist, pointed at the majestic city ahead, and shouted loudly: "Who is the first to attack the city, I will reward 100 taels of gold, and 100 beauties!"

He shouted in a deep voice. When the Yi barbarians heard the voice of Shi Han, their morale was immediately boosted. Although not everyone admitted that Shi Han was a great khan of the Yi barbarian coalition, everyone also knew that Shi Han had a rich family and a huge tribe. A hundred taels of gold was not too large for Shi Han, and they could be taken out. Moreover, there were many beauties in the Chi Yan tribe. They could get a hundred taels of gold and a hundred beauties as rewards. There must be brave men under the heavy reward. When everyone heard the golden beauties, they did not hesitate and flocked forward. Some people shot arrows in a row, suppressing the soldiers on the battlements, and some others rushed towards the city gate.

Before, seven thousand Yiman cavalry attacked the city many times. The way to attack the city was to kill the city gate, want to cut the axe and destroy the city gate, and then rush in. However, as the most powerful city in Hexi, not only is the city wall solid, but the city gate is also extremely solid. It is naturally a dream to break the city with a knife and axe. Later generations will not forget the army of their predecessors. The Yiman was killed and injured in the city before. With so many people dead, they naturally would not be just a stubborn person. During these days of rest, they have come up with some ways.

However, they made a batch of iron hook and ropes, and wanted to rush to the city. With the flexibility of the grassland warriors, they used hook and rope to attack the city.

The defenders on the city wall saw the dense crowd of Yi barbarians rushing over like ants, and immediately held the sword and bow tightly. Dingwu held the sword of the emperor in his hand. Seeing that the Yi barbarians were not good at siegeing the city. Although the method of siege seemed to have improved a little this time, the tools for siege were still extremely simple and could not form an effective effect at all. He immediately felt a little calm and did not rush to let the soldiers fight back. When the Yi barbarians rushed to the city, they ordered the Yi barbarians who rushed to the city gate to use huge rocks to smash the Yi barbarians under the city gate, falling like rain. The Yi barbarians who wanted to destroy the city gate suffered heavy losses, and the city gate became a severely affected area.

More Yi barbarian soldiers rushed to other sections of the city wall, threw their hooks and ropes, and Dingwu waited until the Yi barbarian soldiers climbed halfway, and then they let the soldiers shoot arrows, poked out their hair, screaming in the air, countless Yi barbarian soldiers fell from the air, and suffered heavy casualties. The defenders on the top of the city rely on high-wall battlements and fortresses to guard. Although many soldiers fell from the city with cold arrows, the casualties were still very minor.

Although the Yi barbarians suffered heavy casualties, they still went forward and were extremely fierce when they wanted to fight. The base of the city wall had already accumulated corpses and blood flowed into rivers. However, the Yi barbarians still continued to go forward and showed no sign of retreat. In the meantime, a few Yi barbarians climbed to the top of the city with their hook ropes, but they were instantly chopped into meat paste by the guards rushing up.

Until noon, Shi Khan suddenly saw that the Yi barbarians were killed and injured, but Wuping Prefecture was extremely strong and difficult to shake. If he continued to attack like this, he would only have more people killed and injured. Knowing that this was not a solution, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops early, surrounded Wuping Prefecture first, and then make a decision.

When Dingwu saw the Yi barbarians retreating, he knew that they also knew that this kind of attack was not of great use. He thought that they would get along with other ways to attack the city again. At that time, the defenders continued to monitor closely. Whenever there was any movement, they immediately reported it. Then they made a house not far from behind the city gate as a command post and summoned their civil and military ministers to discuss the next solution.

Officials of all sizes and big cities gathered in a room, and Dingwu was the emperor's honor and personally directed the war, which really boosted the morale of the military and civilians in the city. However, for most officials, they were worried. Everyone saw the large number of Yi barbarian soldiers and horses. Now that the city is siege, everyone has no good plans to defeat the enemy.

The Yi Barbarians fully demonstrated their stubbornness in the capture of Wuping City and would not give up until they achieve their goals. Although they repeatedly repelled the Yi Barbarians, the Wuping City was still as solid as a god, but the current situation is actually extremely dangerous.

Many ministers present were in the officialdom, and had frequent plans and plots and plots came at will, but now they are trapped in the lonely city, but they are still frowning.
