    "Chief, this Han army is extraordinary!" He Hetie looked at the Hun soldiers who kept falling off their horses, with a panicked expression on his face.

    Liu Bao was actually more shocked than he was.  In his eyes, the Han soldiers were indeed lambs to be slaughtered.  Although he spent a lot of time in Dahan, he despised Dahan's soldiers from the bottom of his heart.  Weak and bloodless, he would rather surrender and be beheaded one by one than take up arms to resist.

    But today, the Han army faced the Huns' cavalry in greater numbers than in the past, and their combat power was even more powerful. However, they were not afraid. Facing the strong bows and crossbows of their warriors, they were able to shoot at them calmly and give them a blow.  They caused so many casualties.

    While shocked, Liu Bao was also irritated. He yelled, "Tie Ya, attack the city gate!"

    "Go!"

    After hearing Liu Bao's order, pairs of war horses were used. On the back of each two strong horses, there was a majestic Hun soldier, dragging an iron thorn weighing more than 200 kilograms away with an iron chain, and rushed quickly.  Toward the city gate.

    If it is hit, no matter how thick the city gate is, it will make holes one by one. It will probably be shattered in just a few blows.

    As long as the iron teeth come out, no city gate will be breached.  This is also the reason why the Huns never brought ladders or other siege equipment when they fought.  Using a ladder to climb up to the top of the city, they felt that this was a method only used by the cowardly Han army and was not needed by the Huns warriors.

    The fifty Han army crossbowmen above the city gate were already waiting impatiently.  Other crossbowmen were shooting at the Hun cavalry, and their hands were itchy too!  The hand-held repeating crossbows were already ready, but they could not shoot. The Han army had strict military discipline and their target was Tie Ya.

    Now, Tie Ya has finally come out, and every crossbowman is so excited, with excitement mixed with nervousness.

    Because the Hun soldiers¡¯ riding skills are indeed very high, even if they drag heavy iron thorns away, they are still as fast as lightning.

    The ferocious faces of the two Huns soldiers who were rushing at the front could be seen clearly. They were yelling strangely, but just as they were about to throw out the iron thorns, almost a dozen armed with repeating crossbows were pointing at them.  He fired his crossbows in unison.

    "Ah" The Huns soldiers, including men and horses, turned into hedgehogs and fell to the ground.

    After shooting the first iron tooth, the Han army's crossbowmen suddenly became more confident. The Xiongnu soldiers looked mighty and majestic, but they were still fleshy and could kill them with one arrow.

    So the fifty crossbowmen all hit their iron teeth one by one. They were unable to approach the city gate at all, and were all shot one by one in the middle of the road.

    "My lord's soldiers are so brave" Huangfu Hong sighed, and at the same time his heart was completely in his stomach.

    When Liu Bao sent out Tie Ya just now, Huangfu Hong's heart was already in his throat. He knew best how powerful Tie Ya was. No matter it was the lord Liu Cong, the military advisor Fazheng, or the general Wang Ping, they had never seen it before.  Ten crossbowmen could not stop him at all.

    But reality proved that he was wrong. The lord's troops were extraordinary and could not be understood with common sense.

    "Woo¡ª¡ª" Behind the Huns' formation, a low and rapid horn sounded. The soldiers knew that it was the horn of attack. At the same time, it was full of the anger of the leader Zuo Xian Wang Liu Bao and his dissatisfaction with their attack.  .

    So the charging cavalry became even more crazy. The corpses of their companions were instantly trampled into flesh. They did not hesitate at all, but shot arrows towards the city at a very fast speed. In the next moment, they themselves were all  He fell off his horse, fell to the ground, and was trampled to a pulp.

    Gu Liqi led five thousand soldiers and horses to charge over again. They circled the city, ran wildly, and fired furiously. Some arrows fell on the towers, some fell at the foot of the city wall, and some shot into the city. The Han soldiers  Casualties began to appear.

    Maling City is the seat of Beidi County. In order to prevent the Huns from going south, this city is the tallest and strongest in Beidi County.  Liu Cong watched the Xiongnu cavalry attack the city like crazy, and smiled secretly in his heart.  If Liu Bao keeps doing this, the battle will be much easier. Even if all 100,000 soldiers and horses are used up, the city will still be safe and sound.

    "Chief, we can't fight like this anymore!" He Hetie's eyes were red, as if he was breathing fire, but he still had a trace of reason.  Because of the five thousand soldiers and horses he led, there were only more than a thousand left at this time. These people were all warriors of their tribes!

    "Liu Cong, what kind of soldiers and horses do you have under your command? Why do you have such strong shooting skills?" Liu Bao was very puzzled. He was confident that no one could match the Hun soldiers' cavalry and shooting abilities, especially with the double-sided stirrups installed.  After that, it became even more powerful.  But why are they at a complete disadvantage when the two sides are shooting at each other?  In such a short time, the Hun warriors had alreadyMore than five thousand people were killed.

    Judging from the direction in which the arrows were shot, the Han army's crossbowmen were all concentrated together, and their number could not exceed five hundred. However, the density and accuracy of the arrows were shocking. Could it be said that all of them were  Marksmen, all of them can shoot arrows at an astonishing speed, and all of them have reached the level of the flying general Li Guang?

    "Chief" Seeing Zuo Xian Wang Liu Bao in a daze, He Hetie said loudly, "Chief, we have to find another way"

    "Send the order to withdraw!" Liu Bao gritted his teeth and gave the order. Although he was unwilling to do so, he also understood that almost all of Tie Ya had been shot and killed, and it was impossible to break the city.

    "Woo¡ª¡ª" Another burst of horn sound sounded, but it was not as impassioned as before, but seemed tragic and desolate. The Hun soldiers who were riding wildly reined in their horses one by one, turned back, and quickly evacuated around the city wall.  They were covered in dust and blood, and some had arrows stuck in their backs and arms, making them look miserable.

    "The Han army will win!" Watching the Huns soldiers retreat, a burst of cheers broke out from the top of the city.  Everyone waved their weapons and shouted wildly.

    The rain of arrows from the Hun soldiers just now indeed made everyone feel a little suffocated. If the King of Han and the generals had not commanded them properly, their casualties would have been very heavy.  Even so, there were now hundreds of casualties.

    "Huangfu Hong, immediately clear the city and treat the wounded soldiers!" Liu Cong immediately ordered.

    "No!"

    "Wang Ping, arrange for soldiers to patrol the city continuously! Prevent the enemy from attacking the city at other gates!"

    "No!"

    "Liu Hu, let the soldiers who were guarding the city just now go down to rest, and replace three thousand soldiers with others on the top of the city!"

    "No!"

    After Liu Cong gave a few orders, he and Fazheng temporarily returned to the prefect's mansion.

    Today's battle made Liu Bao realize that the Han army led by Liu Cong was by no means the Han army before. It was much more powerful than he imagined. Maling City was unable to break through in a hurry, so he had to set up camp and think of a way.  .  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
