Volume 1, Chapter 34: Attack on the City Gate

On the morning of the second day, the Huns’ attack horns were blown again.

The mighty Hun cavalry charged directly towards Bai Qi's camp.

"Form a formation!"

Yang Paifeng shouted, and the soldiers skillfully raised their shields and formed a Wei Wuzu square formation. The two armies then fought fiercely.

This time, the number of enemies charging each time was not too large. Unlike the first charge, where people were close to each other and horses were close to each other, they were in a scattered formation.

This was to prevent Bai Qi and others from shooting horses instead of people, thus causing large-scale casualties among the cavalry.

But even so, the sharp bows and crossbows of Bai Qi and others still crazily harvested the lives of the Hun cavalry.

Three days later.

Under these people's fearless charge, Bai Qi and others used up all their arrows.

"Destroy the crossbows and replace them with spears!"

Yang Paifeng gave the order.

All crossbowmen, destroy all crossbows immediately.

This is the iron rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Good crossbows must never be left to the opponent.

The crossbowman disassembled the parts of the crossbow, destroyed them, and then burned the wooden part directly.

Finally, they all picked up spears and fought a bloody battle with the enemy.

Without long-range bows and arrows, no one could limit the speed of these cavalrymen.

They slammed heavily into Bai Qi's Wei Wuzu phalanx, and many shield soldiers in the front row had their ribs broken by the first wave of attack.

The battle was brutal.

"Kill!"

Bai Qi calmly held the tiger-head silver spear, stood behind the shield soldier, and stabbed calmly and coolly with one shot after another.

[Congratulations to the host for killing an ordinary enemy, experience value +10]

[Congratulations to the host for killing a 'corporal level' enemy, experience value +20]

[Congratulations to the host for killing a 'centurion level' enemy, experience value +100]

System prompt sounds rang out one after another.

Bai Qi was like a tireless machine, killing crazily.

In every battle, he fought from beginning to end, until the enemy retreated to eat.

His armor was stained red with blood and exuded a strong smell of blood.

But no one disliked him. Every soldier of the Great Zhou looked at Bai Qi with admiration and awe. This was their military soul.

Just make sure Bai Qi doesn't fall down.

What right do they have to give up?

"I will definitely bring you back alive!"

Bai Qi promised Erniu, Dazhuang and others, and also promised to all the soldiers.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

Although their brothers kept dying in battle, they were encouraged by Bai Qi and were full of fighting spirit.

"Damn it, damn it, why hasn't their morale collapsed yet?"

The Hun general was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Now the casualties of the Great Zhou soldiers are increasing rapidly, and as the war continues, the armor of many of the Great Zhou soldiers has been broken.

The spears were broken.

But they still fought to the death and refused to surrender.

"Because they have the centurion Bai Qi!"

The First Khan was full of murderous intent, but he had to admire Bai Qi.

"Khan, in three days, they will retreat to the city of Honghua."

said the Hun general anxiously.

"Even if we have to retreat to the city of Honghua, I will risk attacking the city and annihilate them all!"

The First Khan remained unshakable.

Deep in the grassland.

Another army of the Great Zhou was fighting a bloody battle with the Huns. They were dressed in black armor and holding bows and crossbows in their hands, and were unstoppable.

"It's so cool to kill!"

Qin Pojun laughed loudly. Their 200,000 Qin troops attacked the Xiongnu and the Fifth Khan, and beat them so hard that they fled in a panic.

He looked at his personal guard Meng Feiyu and said with a smile: "With the military merit you have obtained this time, you can definitely be promoted to a captain of a thousand men.

I just don't know how high a military rank Bai Qi can get for his merit this time?

Meng Feiyu showed a satisfied smile on his face:

"Your Highness is joking. We came here to pursue the enemy this time and directly killed 30,000 enemy troops. "

"Bai Qi and his men only led an army of 10,000 to spy on the enemy on the grassland, and they were able to kill several thousand Huns, which was considered a remarkable military achievement. "

If we are unlucky and encounter the main force of the Huns, it will almost certainly mean the annihilation of our entire army! "

"Bai Qi was lucky enough to escape alive. "

"Are you still thinking about gaining military merit and being promoted to captain of a thousand men? ”

“Maybe in the next life! "

He is not a good general. If he had surrendered to you, the prince, it would have been a piece of cake for him to be made a marquis and defeated! "

Ever since Meng Feiyu knew that Bai Qi was promoted to centurion, he has been feeling anxious. This time he can finally defeat Bai Qi!

At this time, the scout comes to report to you!

"Your Highness, our Marshal Qin has joined forces with Yang Wudi. They have found the trace of the second Khan of the Xiongnu. Marshal Qin orders your Highness to quickly lead the army to encircle and suppress the second Khan. "

Qin Pojin raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion:

"Didn't Yang Wudi stay in Honghua City to defend the city? "

"Why did he lead the army to war? "

The messenger immediately reported:

"General Yang Wudi frequently received battle reports of rescue from the front, so he led 20,000 cavalry to go out and rescue the encircled troops. " "

After that, we joined up with several of the armies and finally locked down the whereabouts of the Second Khan. "

"He simply did not return to the city, but wanted to join forces with us to encircle and suppress them. "

Qin Pojun felt uneasy. Yang Wudi and Pan Hu were left alone in Honghua City to defend the city. This guy would not do anything weird.

But at the moment, annihilating the main force of the Huns was the main task, so he did not think much about it and immediately commanded the army to meet up with Qin Zheng and Yang Wudi.

And Meng Feiyu had a thought in his mind:

"Bai Qi, Bai Qi, I really hope you are one of the troops that were not rescued. "

If you really rush back to Honghua City, that will be the day of your real death! "

"Pan Hu, I have 100 ways to kill you. "

……………………

Three days later.

Yang Paifeng's army burst into thunderous cheers, and in front of them was Honghua City!

They had already seen the tall walls of Honghua City. At this time, Yang Paifeng took out the flare and fired it into the sky.

At this moment, Yang Paifeng couldn't help but cry with joy. They finally came back alive.

Although at this time, after more than 10 days of fighting, they were ambushed 57 times and lost more than 4,300 people.

But despite the siege of 200,000 cavalry, she managed to bring back half of the soldiers, which made her very relieved.

However, after the signal was sent, after waiting for half an hour, the gate of Honghua City was not opened.

"What's going on?"

"Has something changed in Honghua City?"

At this moment, Yang Paifeng's heart suddenly rose to my throat.

But she did not dare to tell her soldiers about this guess. If these soldiers knew that something was wrong in Honghua City, their last hope would be extinguished.

"Brothers, hold on a little longer, we will soon retreat back to Honghua City. Maintain formation and retreat!"

Although these soldiers were exhausted and some even died of exhaustion on the battlefield, everyone burst out with unprecedented potential at this moment.

The defensive power of the Wei Wuzu phalanx was instantly strengthened, they marched faster, and soon retreated back to the foot of Honghua City.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"Leave them here, attack fiercely, attack at all costs!"

The first Khan of the Huns looked extremely ugly.

He really wanted to slap himself in the face, if he had not been smart enough to cut off the enemy's water supply, he would have waited for the Great Zhou army to die of thirst.

He would not have given the Great Zhou army more than 10 days to catch their breath.

"Open the door, open the door quickly!"

"We are going home!"

The remaining 5,000 soldiers, each with an excited look on their faces, shouted towards the top of the city.

But something happened that made them despair. Pan Hu appeared directly on the city wall and shouted to the soldiers below:

"Before the Hun army retreats, the gates of Honghua City must not be opened!"

"Whoever dares to open the city gates will be executed along with his entire clan!"

The faces of those soldiers who originally wanted to open the gates changed drastically in an instant, and the actions in their hands stopped.

The soldiers under Yang Paifeng's command were like hearing a bolt from the blue. They rushed to the top of the city wall one by one:

"Bastard, do you want to force us to death?"

"Where is General Yang?"

"Pan Hu, I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations."

"Open the door, open the door quickly!"

They cursed madly, but Pan Hu was unmoved.

Finally, some people even knelt down to beg:

"Do you know how much we have suffered these days?"

"I haven't slept for three days. We have been chased by the Huns for more than 20 days."

"We finally made it to the gate of Honghua City, and you guys didn't even open the door. You beasts, beasts!"

"Please, save us!"

"We have hungry children and elderly parents at home. I can't die!"

But no matter how they begged, the gate of Honghua City did not move. Pan Hu even gave an order to raise the drawbridge over the moat.

Despair, endless despair!

The first Khan of the Xiongnu was so delighted that he felt as if he had won the first prize in the lottery.

"God is helping me!"

"Kill, kill them!"

"Kill!"

He never dreamed that the idiot Pan Hu would actually kill his soldiers.

The first Khan of the Xiongnu wanted to hug Pan Hu and kiss him at this moment.

This guy is definitely my godson.

"Is this the Great Zhou Dynasty? Is this the Honghua City we are so eager to protect?"

"They abandoned us just like they abandoned a pair of rotten shoes."

"Stop fighting, or we can stop."

"Kill, kill!"

Some soldiers broke down and cried, and threw away their weapons. They were too tired and suffered too much, and felt that everything they had fought for had collapsed.

"Damn it!"

Bai Qi looked at these people who fought alongside him, crying like a tearful man, with anger filling his chest.

These people are not afraid of death, but at this moment, they are increasingly desperate.

He pointed his Fang Tian Hua Ji at Pan Hu and said, "Open the city gate for me! Otherwise, I will kill you!"

When Pan Hu saw Bai Qi, he immediately ordered his personal soldiers to raise their shields and surround himself tightly. He was very afraid that Bai Qi would kill him.

Although he knew that Bai Qi was at the foot of the city and he was on top, the possibility of Bai Qi killing him was almost zero.

But he still had a trace of fear in his heart.

But when Pan Hu saw Bai Qi's furious look, he sneered and said, "Bai Qi, the reason these soldiers died is all because of you!"

"If you have the ability, open the city gate yourself!"

Bai Qi's eyes were burning with anger, and he said word by word, "Then I will open the city gate!"

Bai Qi roared, activated his lightness skill to float on water, his body soared to a height of more than one meter, and jumped directly onto the suspension bridge.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand swept across.

Puff!

The iron chain of the suspension bridge over the moat was actually cut off!

Boom!

The suspension bridge crashed heavily to the ground.

"What!"

Pan Hu's eyes almost popped out.

"Bai Qi is mighty, the God of War is mighty!"

In an instant, the five thousand surviving soldiers saw the hope of survival, and their eyes were filled with heat.

Hold on, hold on a little longer. As long as Bai Qi opens the city gate, they will be safe.

"Break!"

Bai Qi held the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, exploded with all his internal strength, and slashed fiercely at the heavy city gate.

boom!

The city gate is made of thousand-year-old wood and is covered with thick pure copper.

After special processing, it becomes a seamless whole.

Even if dozens of people used large-scale engineering machinery, it would be difficult to shake it in the slightest.

When Bai Qi raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji, it felt like he had hit Mount Tai. The huge recoil force knocked him flying.

"Wow!"

Bai Qi spat out large mouthfuls of blood in the air.

Obviously, this backlash caused him great harm.

"Fool!"

Pan Hu laughed, "The gate of Honghua city is stronger than the gate of the imperial capital. It is a war barrier to defend against the Huns."

"You actually want to blast open the city gate by yourself, you are simply crazy!"

"Bai Qi!" Yang Pafeng's eyes were full of worry.

"Lord Bai Qi!"

Da Zhuang and five thousand soldiers had eyes full of anticipation.

This is their only hope of survival.

"Stand up, stand up! We need you!"

Five thousand soldiers huddled together at this moment, using their only remaining shields to resist the cavalry. They hoped for a miracle to happen and hoped that Bai Qi could give them a way to survive.

Bai Qi vomited large mouthfuls of blood and felt that his internal organs were being crushed.

But he must blast open the city gate, otherwise, all five thousand soldiers here will die!

This is his responsibility, a man's responsibility!

"System, give me continuous upgrades!"

"I need power!"

Bai Qi roared to the sky.
