    "No!"

    After all, the opportunity to break the city was right in front of them, so how could the Huns be willing to give up? Although the shouts of killing inside frightened everyone, they were still unwilling to give up.

    This place is located near the Yinshan Mountains. Although the Huns are not good at building engineering equipment, they can still make a few pieces of wood into sharp points. There are many huge logs in the Yinshan Mountains.

    A century-old tree as thick as a person was carried on the shoulders of the Huns, braving the rain of arrows from the Han army, and kept moving towards the Han army's camp!

    "Don't worry about them, just let them get close, and when they get in, use gunpowder to blow them up for me!"

    Looking at the stumbling steps of the Huns, Liu Deng sneered and then ordered.

    This is the crushing of equipment, this is the crushing of technology. When the equipment is completely suppressed, no matter how hard the Huns try and how eager they are for a victory, in the end they can only return miserably

    After receiving Liu Deng's order, the Han army turned their target to the Huns soldiers who were circling back and forth like headless flies under the city.

    The fire in the Wengcheng was getting stronger and stronger, and the screams of the Huns finally began to get smaller and smaller. The screaming Huns soldiers were covered in fire, and the leather robes on their bodies were flammable in themselves.

    In this raging fire, they are like torches.

    As they waited for the clothes on their bodies to burn out, their bodies also began to slowly burn.

    When everything calmed down, there was no one alive in the entire Wengcheng.

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    The giant tree that carried the Huns' hopes was finally brought in. Hundreds of Huns risked their lives to push the giant tree, hoping to break the Dragon Breaking Stone.

    It¡¯s a pity that this dragon-breaking stone has been poured since the day the city was cast. It has been more than a month. In order to get this thing to the top of the city, the soldiers of the Han army worked hard!

    The current hardness of this thing is more than enough than ordinary bluestone. There is no way that a piece of wood can shake it.

    "Keep hitting me!"

    Seeing the soldiers losing more and more, Yu Dan was like a gambler who lost his money, ordering the soldiers to continue to fight with red eyes.

    However, what can a primitive wooden pile do in front of two feet of reinforced concrete?

    "Blow it up!"

    Liu Deng stood on the tower and said lightly.

    "Light the fire!"

    The horror of the bastion is here. If you want to attack the fragile city gate, you have to face simultaneous attacks from three directions.

    A dozen black iron balls were thrown down. Li Guang simply reached out and covered his ears.

    There was a bit more pity in the eyes of those Huns.

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    Continuous explosions sounded again, and the huge log carrying the Huns' hope was directly blown into pieces.

    The Huns are desperate, and now they can only retreat

    The Han army is right in front of them and the city is right in front of them, but they are powerless.

    Yu Dan only felt that the blood in his body was starting to burn, and his anger at me had gone to his head.

    With red eyes, he ordered the supervising team to go on a killing spree, wasting his soldiers in a meaningless fight in vain.

    "Your Highness, let them withdraw first. We don't have the equipment to attack the city, so we can't get up at all!"

    Seeing the soldiers' injuries getting worse, Mori said quickly.

    "Do you even want to disobey my order?"

    Yu Dan angrily pulled out his scimitar, and then put it directly on Mori's neck.

    "Your Highness, the Han people can't escape anyway. They are in this city. Why don't we rush to build siege equipment and then come back. When the time comes, the general will be willing to lead the charge!"

    Although Mori was nervous now, with cold sweat streaming down his back, he still said it bravely.

    "Hu-hu¡ª¡ª"

    Yu Dan panted heavily. After a long time, he finally managed to calm down. Yes, Mori was right.

    At this time, staying here can only be a meaningless sacrifice.

    The Han army¡¯s city was four feet high. Moreover, after calming down and looking at the city, this city was built very strangely. It was completely different from the previous Han cities.

    There are edges and corners everywhere, no matter where you attack,Had to take more firepower!

    "Send the order, the whole army retreats! I have surrounded this city! Send out 10,000 cavalry, collect siege equipment, and build ladders!"

    For the Huns, the only thing they could make on their own was the simplest ladder.

    Fortunately, this city is not too high. If converted to the height of later generations, it would be about twelve or thirteen meters.

    So even if the ladder built by the Huns is extremely crude, it can still be barely used at this time.

    The Huns finally retreated, and the civilians in the city finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    The towering city walls all around gave them an endless sense of security, but this alone was still not enough.

    "Your Majesty, we don't have many arrows now"

    When it got dark, Li Guang quietly came to Liu Deng's side and whispered.

    The continuous rain of arrows from the Shenwu Army is indeed astonishing, but at this time, they are alone behind the enemy, and the arrows cannot be replenished. This situation is inevitable

    "How many arrows do we have left?"

    If it is for other armies, after the arrows are gone, there are still swords.

    Although the combat effectiveness is affected, it is only a loss of 30 to 50% at most.

    But if the Shenwu Army had no arrows, their lethality would be reduced by at least 30%.

    "There are about 200,000 more, and it will definitely not exceed 300,000"

    Three hundred thousand arrows sounds like a lot, but when combined with the 20,000 divine warriors, they only have ten to fifteen arrows per person at most.

    The problem is really big now. Although the Huns have temporarily retreated, they still have no intention of retreating.

    ¡°If there were no arrows, would it be possible for the Huns to use their fists to attack the next time they attacked the city?

    "Let me think about it, don't worry yet!"

    Liu Deng fell into deep thought. He couldn't leave now. Should he risk going out of the city to collect arrows?

    "Your Majesty, how about I send some people down to collect some arrows?"

    Looking at the battlefield full of corpses, Li Guang said hesitantly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll talk about it later in the evening!¡±

    After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Deng gave up on this tempting idea. Sending people down at this time would probably only arouse the suspicion of the Huns. It would be better to wait until night to make plans

    Fortunately, the battle just now has knocked out the courage of the Huns. At least during the day, they should not have the courage to attack the city again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
