C91 Extermination (III)

The Hun horse was compact in shape, handsome in appearance, with a long chest, muscular muscles, a strong body, a straight back, strong limbs, and prominent joints. The main color of the hair are three kinds of hair, namely, cob, millet and black hair. The horse was six feet tall and weighed more than six hundred pounds. After training, the Huns were not intimidating or cunning on the battlefield. They were extremely brave and had always been good military horses. They had a steady temperament, strong endurance and a fast recovery of fatigue. The distance of a thousand meters only required about sixty seconds. From the moment the Huns had entered the range of the crossbow arrows, it would only take five to six seconds for the Huns to complete the distance of one hundred steps. Ordinary crossbow soldiers could only fire one shot at the same time, and before they could shoot the second arrow, the Huns were already in front of them. Of course, there were very few divine archers who were an exception.

The first time they had fired, the crossbow had fired six hundred crossbow bolts, causing at least four hundred casualties among the Huns. If it was an ordinary crossbow archer, she would not have been able to fire a second time.

However, since the crossbow was placed in an arrow box, and since the crossbow was placed in every arrow box, it could be shot five times at a time with a hundred crossbow arrows. Not only could the Zhuge crossbow fire twenty shots, the preparation time for another shot was also very short. After the first shot, the crossbow in the quiver naturally fell to the equal hairpin due to gravity and effect. As long as the tension bar was moved again, the crossbow arm would be stretched and the second shot could be fired. Ordinary crossbow archers would need more than a minute to prepare for their first shot. For the Huns, a minute was more than enough time to travel more than a thousand meters, not to mention the distance of two or three hundred steps. However, the Zhuge crossbow was different. Its second shot would definitely not take more than three seconds. Within a limited distance, the Zhuge crossbow could perform a second effective attack.

Of course, during the charge, the Huns had also been in a hurry to shoot hundreds of arrows at the city walls. However, because of the terrain of the city walls, coupled with the fact that the Huns had been sent out in a hurry, the casualties caused to the Black Shirt Army were negligible.

The effect of the second shot from the crossbow was obviously not as good as the first. It only caused more than 200 casualties to the Allied Cavalry.

"Kill!" The allied light cavalry suddenly roared. Dozens of repulsive horses were placed at the gate of East City, but the allied light cavalry did not hesitate, they directly disregarded the existence of those galloping horses, and rode their horses straight towards them. The cavalrymen at the front crashed into the horses, only to see dozens of cavalrymen toppling over, their shouts of battle and furious roars instantly filling the air.

Allied Cavalry watched as his comrades in front of him were instantly smashed into mincemeat. Under the order of the Centurions and Captains, they stepped on their comrades' flesh and blood and advanced crazily. Although the cavalry was fast, but in front of the horses, they were thrown down even more miserably because of their fast speed.

Almost all of them were direct descendants of Shi Le. Seeing the riders in front who were obstructing their way to the city gates, Shi Le quickly ordered the Chinese troops in the Gentleman's Camp to attack the city. Although the Gentleman's Camp's fighting strength could not be considered strong in the Shi Le's camp, but when they faced the Luoyang who was attacking the Chinese, they were not the least bit hesitant. The dense and numerous Gentleman's Camp soldiers swarmed and rushed up the walls of the eastern gate of the Luoyang, as the powerful siege machinery was almost all destroyed by Xie Fei. Although they did not have the huge killing power of siege engines, but because of this, the siege battles with cold, primitive weapons were even more brutal and bloody. They were all using their flesh and blood to fight.

The ant like Gentleman's Camp infantry rushed towards the tall and sturdy city walls of the Luoyang like a torrent of steel. Very quickly, they were like a torrent that was suddenly blocked by a boulder, and were smashed into pieces, scattering in all directions. But facing Shi Le's strict military discipline, they could only continue to attack without turning back.

Of course, the Black Shirt Army on the city wall was not easy to deal with. The rocks in his hands were rolling down as if his life depended on it, and the soldiers that were climbing up the ladder fell down in clusters like dumplings. Accompanied by miserable screams, the sky was filled with sharp arrows that flew everywhere. Sharp blades danced all over the place, and the rays of light brought about a wave of blood.

At this time, after paying close to a thousand casualties, Allied Cavalry finally rushed into the city.

Qi Yu saw that the excitement of the Allied Cavalry was uncontrollable. Finally, he saw that there were over ten thousand cavalrymen entering the city, Qi Yu said to Beigong Chun: "General Bei Gong, is that enough?!"

Beigong Chun nodded and laughed out loud. "Brother Qi is right, ten thousand men is enough to make Shi Le feel bad for a while, if there was more, I wouldn't be able to eat it!" After that, Beigong Chun became a little worried and personally gave the order: "All soldiers heed my orders, prepare to shut down the doors and kill the dogs!"

With that, Beigong Chun went inside the city walls, he quickly pulled out his blade and in the time it took for lightning to flash, Beigong Chun quickly brandished four blades, the blades slashed onto the thumb sized rope on the wall. With a series of clangs, the rope snapped.

"Bam." A loud sound came out, the several tens of Allied Cavalry s that were rushing over from the cave entrance were smashed into meat paste.

It turned out that Xie Fei's so-called method of closing the gates and beating the dogs was to hang a long wooden board above the entrance of the city, which was piled high with sacks filled with mud. The sandbags that weighed several tons were instantly smashed down, blocking the damaged city gate. Maybe everyone knew that this was a crucial moment where everyone was fighting against time, when Shi Le suddenly realised that the city gate was blocked, they knew that it was not good, and immediately ordered the Gentleman's Camp to attack the city, the more than ten thousand cavalrymen were all that Shi Le had, if the reinforcements were not able to arrive in time, all of them would be dead.

Just at this time, on the east wall of Luoyang, there were no longer rolling stones and firewood, but burning oil. The pain of burning water was the most difficult to endure. Shouts and curses turned into a mess. Hundreds of people lost their lives every second. Shi Le's body could not help but tremble, and a monstrous wave rose in his heart. Although oil of fire could burn people, it was not the most terrifying thing. The most frightening thing was that if the enemy used fire to attack them, they would be trapped in an irreparable situation.

As expected, right at this time, countless of torches suddenly lit up on the city wall, causing Shi Le to be dumbstruck. As more and more torches were thrown onto the wall, waves after waves of smoke that could be seen with the naked eye floated out, the corpses under the wall were like mountains, the water in their bodies made up 80% of the total, but the amount of fat that burned was not small. It might not have burned him directly from his skin, but since it was winter, Coalition Soldiers would always wear thick cotton clothing, adding the several hundred basins of fire oil from before, it would make his clothes burn, it could burn oil, some of it would add oil to the fire, but adding fuel to the fire would also have the same effect. The fire was unstoppable.

Although there were a lot of people in the alliance, as the thick smoke rose up, the intense flames burned the dry air, making it even harder for people to get close. Especially the Gentleman's Camp Infantry soldiers who were on the ladders, they really had no way to advance, and no way to retreat. Above it was the shiny blade that Hei Shanjunshibing was waving around, and below it was the blazing fire.

"Crack, crack …" The monstrous flames rose up into the sky, and the muffled sounds of explosions were like firecrackers. Especially the countless ladders in the middle of the great fire. In just a short quarter of an hour, hundreds of ladders had been completely burnt. The scorching hot air forced everyone to retreat far away. Even the city walls were burnt red. There was no way for anyone to stand on top of them. At this time, all of Hei Shanjunshibing's forces had also withdrawn down the city walls, there was no need for anyone to guard the city walls, unless the enemy had wings on his back and could fly, it would be difficult to cross the city walls.

Shi Le, who was standing in the distance and watching the battle looked quite dejected, and muttered to himself: "It's over, it's all over, it's all over!" With so many casualties, the attack was about to come down, and now a fire had been ignited. Not only did the Gentleman's Camp have heavy casualties, even the tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers who had already entered the city had a slim chance of survival.

"This is just a way to stall for time. Maybe he is the one who is seeking death because he has nowhere else to go!" Liu Qing stared hatefully at the monstrous fire and said, "Using the situation to lay down the situation, the smaller the situation, the greater the odds."

"Xie Fei is indeed unfathomable. Everything was unexpected, and we even discussed how he might want to break out of the encirclement, just in case he comes back again." Wang Jun sighed emotionally, he paused for a while, then chuckled and answered: "Looks like our chance has arrived!"

"Why don't you General Wang go up again and try to take over the Luoyang as soon as possible. Otherwise, wouldn't we have lost a lot of troops in vain? Since they are able to set a fire of their own, they must have thought of a good countermeasure! " Shi Le frowned and said. Just now, in order to gain the upper hand in the attack, he attacked the most urgently. The ones with the most casualties were his army. The losses of the other Allied generals were almost negligible.

Regarding Shi Le's anxious expression, Wang Jun saw it in his eyes and rejoiced in his heart. He pretended to be distressed, shook his head and said, "We have to fight, but attacking the east gate now is obviously not the smartest move!"

Liu Cong's heart sank, "Could it be that Great General Wang wants to give up on my soldiers?" With regards to Wang Jun's current plan of borrowing his blade to kill, Liu Cong felt disdain and a little depressed. Although he and Shi Le belonged to the same faction, Liu Cong was an extremely ambitious person, and yearned for the peak of power in his heart. However, Shi Le's position seemed to be very firm, and he was completely loyal to Liu Yuan. Although Liu Cong and Liu Cong had a good relationship on the surface, but in reality, they had long reached the point where they could not interact anymore. Later, when Liu Cong tried to take over the imperial power, Shi Le secretly added fuel to the fire. If it were not for the fact that Shi Le suffered such heavy losses and was incapable of contending against him, Liu Cong would not have had the chance to become the Great Emperor of Zhao of the Huns.

Although Liu Cong appeared abnormally calm on the surface, he had actually been secretly ready to kill, but the coldness in his eyes flashed for a moment before Liu Cong recovered. Liu Cong said calmly: "I wonder what great general Wang thinks!"

"Too late!" "Too late!" Shi Le's face was pale white, the flames inside the city soared to the sky, the sounds of killing were deafening, and Shi Le's expression was a little dazed. His astonished eyes immediately turned to despair. In a short while, rolling thunder that was like ten thousand horses galloping resounded through the world, despair, madness, and shock waves resounded throughout the entire Luoyang.

Countless torches were set up on the houses beside the main streets of Luoyang, over three thousand of them were used by Hei Shanjunshibing, their fighting spirits were high, their swords were bright.

A Heaven Bombing grenade exploded within the Allied light cavalry formation, causing over a dozen cavalry casualties. In their era, when had they ever seen such a terrifying weapon, they were all dumbstruck as they looked at the dozen or so mutilated bodies, their stomachs and intestines were broken, and their bodies were badly mutilated. All of them were abnormally terrified. The allied army of over ten thousand soldiers was suddenly thrown into chaos, like boiling water. Many people were running all over the place wanting to escape, but where could they run to? Even more people were watching in a daze.

At this time, Qi Yu said: "Heaven Bombing grenade, keep attacking!"

Dozens of Heaven Bombing grenade's fire messages spread out quickly, making "sizzling" sounds. There were dozens of "boom" sounds, and miserable howls could be heard. Hundreds and thousands of allied army soldiers were instantly blown up. The smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

Horses have a very developed sense of hearing, an organ with a strong ability to sense information, which is formed over a long period of evolution. The developed hearing of horses is beneficial to the use of horses by humans. But advantage has both disadvantage and disadvantage, because the horse's hearing is sensitive, excessive sound or audio to the horse is a kind of adversity stimulus, make the horse has painful feeling. The violent explosion of the Heaven Bombing grenade stimulated the nerves of the allied army. At almost the same time, thousands of horses were alarmed. The docile Hun Numa suddenly launched a fierce charge, knocking his masters to the ground one by one. Ten thousand horses trampled on each other, and the allied forces suffered heavy casualties.

What made things worse was that Qi Yu did not show mercy at all when Allied Cavalry was stepping on him. Similarly, there were tens of loud sounds, and then on the ground, there were hundreds of mangled corpses, and his limbs were incomplete.

While Hei Shanjunshibing was using his Heaven Bombing grenade s to strike, the other crossbow archers were not idle either. They had drawn crossbows, aimed at the head of the Allied Cavalry, and started a killing match. Hei Shanjunshibing and the others were extremely excited, these kind of practice opportunities were not much, they had to seize every moment to practice their shooting skills.

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!" The sounds of the arrows piercing through the air rang out. Like a violent rain of arrows, and like a huge net of death, they came crashing down on the allied army's heads. A cold light flashed, flames flickered, and cries of agony could be heard. Allied Cavalry fell to the ground, and the blood flow below the ground instantly converged.

The massacre was unavoidable! The smell of blood pervaded the air. The Black Shirt Army archers on the roofs on both sides of the road were shooting at even faster and more concentrated speeds. Just then, the sound of explosions could be heard. The main street of the east gate of Luoyang was like hell on earth, a battlefield of death.

At this time, there were no longer any formations on Allied Cavalry, and it was a complete mess.

The soldiers of the Fly who were controlling the Zhuge family's crossbow did not hold back, "Swish, swish, swish, swish …" There were twenty of them, and several corpses of the allied army were lying on the ground.

At this time, Qi Yu ordered the Heaven Bombing grenade to stop attacking. Two hundred pellets was his entire family's foundation, moreover the battle had already reached its climax. Even if it was a melee fight, although there would still be a certain amount of casualties in the Black Shirt Army, but if they could not take down the defeated Allied Cavalry, Qi Yu would not be able to take down the position of Battalion Commander, and should be replaced by Xie Fei as soon as possible.

The result of this battle was almost exactly the same as what Xie Fei originally expected, the only difference was that Qi Yu was careful about the fight, and actually saved himself thirty more Heaven Bombing grenade.

There was no suspense in the battle at the east gate of Luoyang. It was only a matter of time before the entire allied army was destroyed.

Hearing the screams growing weaker and weaker inside the city, Shi Le was extremely depressed. With more than ten thousand people in the Gentleman's Camp, one third of the people dead, and more than ten thousand cavalrymen dying, the odds were against them. No one would be in a good mood over this matter. Shi Le's expression suddenly became cold, and revealed the expression of a warrior who was about to die, the expression then disappeared, his eyes anxiously looked around, his face had a flustered yet ferocious look.

"Right now, the situation of the Luoyang is already clear, there are at least 10,000 people from the east city gate, then the other direction should be towards the other city gates." Right at this time, Wang Jun laughed leisurely, and after a moment he said: "It will definitely be empty, even if it's not for singing about the stratagem of an empty city, it's actually more or less the same. They do know how to judge the situation, and when we see the enemies of our alliance, we ignore them, and gather all our forces to attack the closest south gate. We will definitely take down the Luoyang! "

Liu Cong lowered his head and thought, Shi Le's ten thousand cavalry soldiers were certainly not lucky, even if they wanted to attack now, it would be impossible. Looking at the fire, it would take at least four to four hours to extinguish, even if the cavalry soldiers could last until it was extinguished, it was hard to protect the enemy from setting it on fire again. The only thing they could do now was to attack the Luoyang as fast as possible. If the southern gate was too tight, the Jin Army would probably split up their forces to provide assistance, and Shi Le and the other generals had a chance of survival.

Liu Cong whispered by Shi Le's ear for a moment, the depression in Shi Le's heart suddenly disappeared, he laughed and said, "Your Highness is right, this general will definitely fight to the death with Black Shirt Army!"

At this time, the allied forces had just fought a battle at the east gate. They had suffered over five thousand casualties, and the lives of ten thousand cavalrymen were uncertain. Liu Cong and Wang Jun then sent their troops, with a total of 35,000 people rushing towards the south gate in a formidable array.
