Chapter 90 Black clouds overwhelm the city, goddess Suzhen

Chapter 89: Dark clouds overwhelm the city goddess Suzhen

 Yanmen Pass, above the city tower.

Qin Liangyu held the city wall with his hands and looked outside the city tower with a solemn face. He was about to launch the next attack. The Xiongnu army was like a tidal wave. He murmured: "

Dark clouds are pressing down on the city to destroy it, and the armor's light shines towards the golden scales of the sun.

The sound of trumpets fills the autumn sky, and the night is purple when stuffed with swallow fat.

 Half-rolled red flags are near the Yishui River. The frost is heavy and the drums are cold but no sound can be heard.

Report your favor on the golden stage, support the jade dragon and die for you! "

This song "The Journey of the Governor of Yanmen" was written by his younger brother Qin Hao when he returned to Yanmen a year ago and happened to encounter the Xiongnu soldiers at Yanmen Pass.

Because this poem's description of the border war is a classic, it was sung in all directions as soon as it was published, and there were constant discussions and disputes in various states and counties.

 Of course in poetry, the most controversial thing is the definition of "jun" in the poem.

 Some people say it is a king, while others say the "jun" refers to Qin Wen. However, the creator Qin Hao has never come forward to explain the discussions from all parties.

The situation at Yanmen Pass at this moment is once again like what Qin Hao said in "The Journey of the Yanmen Prefect". The Huns are aggressive and Qin Liangyu swears to defend the pass to the death in order not to betray his brother's trust.

“Brother, if you don’t come back with reinforcements, my sister will really be unable to hold on!” Qin Liangyu said to himself tiredly.

It has been a month since Qin Hao left. During this month, Qin Liang never left his jade armor to personally defend the city, which greatly stimulated the morale of the Yanmen Pass defenders.

Under the command of Qin Liangyu, the Yanmen Pass defenders achieved great results in a month, killing 12,000 enemies, but they also suffered more than 3,000 casualties. Today, the Yanmen Pass defenders only have more than 6,000 troops.

Although the casualty ratio of one to four is very high, it is not Qin Liangyu's best result. In the first half month, Qin Liangyu once relied on his excellent command ability to control the casualties to one to six, or even one to one. seven.

 However, the appearance of a person changed this great situation, and this person was Temujin!

 Half a month ago, the Xiongnu Chan Yuvluo appointed his younger brother Temujin as the commander-in-chief of the siege. As soon as Temujin took office, he immediately changed the previous rigid siege model.

While stopping to rest and build siege equipment, they also adopted the strategy of exhausting their troops and constantly harassed the defenders of Yanmen Pass in order to tire them out and break their will.

However, although Temujin's plan was good, it was cleverly resolved by Qin Liangyu's method of taking turns to defend the city.

 After that, Temujin used the method of continuous harassment by the sun and the moon to attack the city, while Qin Liangyu resisted tenaciously. Although Yanmen Pass is now defended, the casualties are increasing.

Qin Liangyu tried his best to reduce the casualties. Although there are more than 6,000 soldiers left in Yanmen Pass, they are all exhausted. The reason why they are holding on until now is entirely because of their will.

 The eldest lady is still insisting, how can a man like me give up so easily! Staring at the heroine in blood armor on the tower, all the soldiers at Yanmen Pass thought this way.

Qin Liangyu didn't even know that her performance in the past month had completely conquered all the soldiers. That beautiful figure wielding the sword and constantly killing the enemy would forever be imprinted in the hearts of all the soldiers, turning into the most holy goddess deep in their hearts. .

 We will protect the eldest lady to the death and never let the eldest lady get harmed at all! All the soldiers roared in their hearts.

 Qin Liangyu is the motivation for all soldiers to persist.

 In front of the Huns army formation. Temujin, a young and unruly man, holds a scimitar, has a maroon horse under his crotch, and is dressed in silver armor, but his eyes have always stayed on the beautiful figure on the tower.

After a long time, a trace of tenderness flashed across Temujin's resolute face, and he said with a faint smile: "Qin Suzhen is worthy of being the eldest daughter of Qin Wen. She is a woman who is not inferior to men. I like her!"

Suzhen is Qin Liangyu's cousin. Women from ordinary people's families naturally don't know how to choose it, but women from aristocratic families usually choose it. For example, Cai Yan's nickname is Zhaoji.

However, women are usually called by their cousin names only by people with very close relationships. As a foreigner, Temujin calls Qin Liangyu by his cousin name. Admiration is on the one hand, being thick-skinned is on the other hand, but the most important thing is Temujin thought he was sure to defeat Qin Liangyu.

Although there are more than 6,000 defenders at Yanmen Pass today, they are all exhausted. Yanmen Pass is on the verge of collapse and is easily accessible to Temujin.

Once Yanmen Pass is broken, Qin Liangyu will be his Temujin's woman whether he likes it or not. The Huns have always conquered women physically, so they are so barbaric.

"Only such a strange woman is worthy of you, King Youxian. Mu Lihua will capture this girl alive for King Youxian!"

Mu Lihua, who was born as a slave, knew the art of flattery best. After hearing what Temujin said, he immediately stood up. While showing his loyalty, he flattered Temujin at the same time!

Upon hearing this, Temujin laughed loudly and shouted: "Break Yanmen Pass and capture Qin Liangyu alive!"

“Break Yanmen Pass and capture Qin Liangyu alive!” tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers shouted together.

 …

Following Temujin's order, Mu Lihua immediately led a thousand cavalrymen to get on their horses and get out of the way, allowing the siege troops behind to push tall well rails, heavy siege vehicles, and ladders. Siege engines passed in front of them.

The well is the same height as the city wall, with archers standing on it. It is used to cover the troops climbing the city wall during the siege, and to shoot at the enemy troops in the city. It can be regarded as a mobile archery tower.

The city ramming cart is a huge log, controlled by a simple mechanism on the wooden cart, and is used to break down the city gate.

　　Previously, the Huns' siege mode was basically to siege the city with ladders and then use bows and arrows to suppress it. There was no such siege weapon as the well ram ram.

Since Temujin came, he immediately imitated the Han people and made simple wells and city rams.

Although the well lanterns made by the Xiongnu were simple, they could still shoot bows and arrows into Yanmen Pass, so they caused great casualties to the Yanmen Pass defenders.

The city ramming vehicle was even more crude. It was just a dozen soldiers carrying huge logs and ramming against the city gate. The city gate at Yanmen Pass was made of fine iron, so such a collision would have basically no effect.

Three thousand Hun cavalry dismounted and rushed to the front with shields raised, followed closely by another five hundred people carrying ladders. An echelon of three thousand five hundred people passed quickly, followed by hundreds of people pushing tall and tall The heavy well gates and siege engines were approaching Yanmen Pass step by step.

Pushed by the Xiongnu warriors, the wells and siege vehicles once again began to approach the city wall step by step. A thousand infantrymen holding shields, suppressed by the arrows of the Yanmen Army, barely rushed to the city wall and attacked the city wall. All the arrows fired from the city were blocked.

Upon seeing this, the Yanmen defenders immediately changed their strategy and used bows and arrows to shoot at the charging infantry. While other defenders threw many large stones from the city wall, smashing the Hun shield soldiers beside the city wall to death. few.

As soon as the Xiongnu's ladder was set up, it was pushed down by the Yanmen army or smashed to pieces with stones.
