Daqin Engineers

Chapter 356 Slave

At this time, Shen Bing was on the west side. He knew from the beginning that the west side was the most dangerous, so the main force on the west side was also the most supplied.

But Shen Bing was not worried that the Xiongnu would attack.

Because he thought that the Huns at this time had gone... the result of the reluctant attack was that he suffered heavy casualties and finally lost Wuyuan.

If Mao Dun is smart enough, he should decisively abandon the ten thousand Huns in Wuyuan, and take advantage of the fact that the Qin army has not closed the encirclement and transfer the Xiongnu in Hexi to escape.

But Shen Bing soon found out that he was wrong...

The first attack was on the north and south sides. A team of Huns rushed out and used bows and arrows to prevent the Qin army from setting up traps.

This is nothing but normal operation.

Shen Bing also guessed early in the morning that if the Huns wanted to attack, they would definitely attack the west side, and it was inevitable to impose containment and blockade on the north and south sides.

What happened next was unexpected to Shen Bing.

The soldier in charge of blocking the city gate shouted:

"General, the city gate is open, and the enemy is going out of the city!"

Shen Bing looked back and saw the city gate slowly open.

Shen Bing was puzzled. It was said that the enemy would never go out of the city to counterattack. At this time, the Qin Army had blocked the city gate with a long-range weapon.

This is the advantage of Qin Jun.

The Xiongnu is good at riding and shooting. It can even be said that the Huns are also good at shooting... From childhood to playing with bows and arrows, of course, they are more accurate than Qin Jun.

But it's useless to shoot so far. The range of a bow and arrow can't be compared to a crossbow that uses hands and feet to open the bow with waist strength... "The arm can't twist the thigh", the difference in bow strength lies there.

So the new crossbow in Qin Jun's hand had a much longer range, even if the Huns were on the wall.

Because of the long range, the crossbowmen of the Qin Army can safely deploy them outside the range of the Xiongnu's bows and arrows and even form a ring to aim at the city gate.

Coupled with the catapult and the three-bow bed crossbow, it can almost be said that the city gate is sealed, and as many Huns come out to kill as many.

At this time, the Xiongnu opened the city gate, and Shen Bing ordered:

"Open the bow!"

The messenger immediately passed on the order:

"Open the bow!"

The three hundred crossbowmen, two hundred trebuchets and three-bow crossbowmen who were in charge of blocking the city gate immediately opened their bows and drew their arrows and stone bullets at the gate.

However, in the next second, it was not the Huns that appeared in Shen Bing's eyes but slaves, rows of slaves with their hands tied, and slaves dressed in brown clothes from the Central Plains.

These slaves may also know what is going to happen, and they shouted in the direction of Qin Jun:

"Don't shoot arrows, I'm from Qin!"

"I waited for being captured by the Huns and turned into hard labor..."

...

At this time, Wang Ben on the other side shouted again:

"General, there are also here!"

Shen Bing turned his head to look, and he saw that a large number of slaves had also been tied up on the other side. The crowd was like a black cloud flooding towards the Qin Army Walled City.

Wang Ben's eyes were sharp, he leaned forward and said:

"General, the Huns are in it!"

Shen Bing nodded, and he also saw it. Not only was the dress different, it was the Xiongnu carrying a scimitar and a quiver in his hand.

In modern times, Shen Bing only heard that the Mongols would use this tactic, but he did not expect that the Huns would do it.

"General!" the soldier shouted: "The enemy is about to leave the city!"

Shen Bing gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Let go!"

The messenger shouted:

"Let go!"

With the sound of the machine, the crossbow arrows flew out, the people screamed and fell to the ground, and some people were paralyzed and unable to stand.

The stone bullet of the trebuchet hit the city gate with a sound, knocking back all the enemies that were about to gush out.

Even more powerful was the three-bow bed crossbow. After a few bowstrings, five "thunderbolt fireballs" were thrown to the city gate, and then there was a burst of "boom", and there was a cry at the city gate. And screams.

Shen Bing didn't want to do this, but he was helpless.

Between the people and the army, he can only choose the army.

Because only the army is alive and the people can live... at least there will be a few survivors.

But if at this time talk of kindness leads to the collapse of the army, then the people and the army will all have death.

The same thing is happening on the other side.

Batches of slaves were driven up by the Huns, and then batches fell under the arrows of the Qin army.

Maybe it's because Qin Jun himself couldn't bear the heart... Actually, he couldn't say that he couldn't bear it, but the mentality of facing the slave with the crossbow and the Xiongnu was different.

To deal with the Huns, they think about the hatred of the country and the family, and the hatred will become more and more cruel and speed up unconsciously.

But in the face of slaves...

Most of the Liang army and Shenwu army came from the Wei army. In the Wei state where people are not as good as dogs, the Wei army is almost a slave.

Therefore, when they raised their arrows at the slaves, they would feel a sense of "bunny death and fox sorrow", and their men would naturally slow down.

When the hand is slow, the flow of people will push closer and closer in the direction of the Qin army.

The Xiongnu mingled among the people and used the people as a shield to shoot at the Qin army with their bows and arrows.

The Huns are all marksmen, even on the Mercedes-Benz horses are extremely accurate, let alone on a stable and firm ground.

Fortunately, the Shenwu Army, the whole body of cane armor is very well-defended, and the Xiongnu can't find any holes if they want to shoot.

But the beam army was equipped with the standard Qin army breastplate, except for the breastplate, they were all targets...so one by one the arrows fell to the ground.

Getting closer, getting closer, and then the Xiongnu soldiers shouted and rushed towards the Qin army with a scimitar over the slave.

Standing on a high place watching the battle, Mao Dundan couldn't help feeling a little proud.

He only said that this battle was divided.

Although the Xiongnu are good at riding and warfare but not good at attacking, the Qin army has only 5,000 people, while the Xiongnu has 10,000.

As long as this 10,000 army rushed into the Qin army, it would be a two-on-one situation.

In addition, not to mention the defeat of the Qin army, this 10,000 army only needs to make them unable to block the city gate... Wuyuan's Xiongnu warriors will come out.

At that time, it will be attacked on both sides with four times the force. The Qin army has three heads and six arms. I am afraid it will be difficult to survive in this melee.

However, Mouton was too happy too early.

Just as the Xiongnu swung his sword towards the Qin Army battlefield, Shen Bing gave an order:

"Thunderbolt Fireball!"

At the moment, the front-row Qin Jun raised his spear diagonally forward and raised his shield to block the Huns, while the back-row Qin Jun quickly ignited the "Thunderbolt Fireball" and threw it out one by one.

Just listening to the explosion of "bombing", the Huns who charged intensively were blown up and down and collapsed.

Mouton frowned slightly.

Although he knew that the Qin Army had a "sky-shaking thunder" before, he only said that it was the Qin Cavalry Army who relied on a chariot to launch. How could there be pawns?

With a fluke mentality, Mao Dundan thought that there were not many "sky-shaking thunders" carried by the pawns, so he quickly ordered his orders to continue the attack.

But the situation on the battlefield soon disappointed Mouton...

The "sky-shaking thunder" behind Qin Jun's spear and shield formation was thrown over in batches, blowing up the Xiongnu who rushed forward one after another.

"Thunderbolt Fireball" may not be able to deal with fast-moving cavalry, but it can deal with intensively charged infantry...that's really right!
