Chapter 1943 Wherever people come, they are Han soil


    The sky in the Western Regions in late autumn is blue, vast, lofty, and fascinatingly beautiful. However, when the gaze turns downwards, it is so gray, black, yellow, and brown, which makes people feel dirty.


    In the early morning, a round of golden sun rises and spreads light throughout the entire space. The big flag on the small square city is fluttering in the wind, the black and red flag and the huge and simple "Chinese" characters are bathed in the golden sun, looking dignified and vicissitudes of life, and also faintly carrying an aura of looking down on the world, Take people''s souls away.


    Gao Shun stood under the banner, looking at Qiuci and the others wriggling like ants in the distance.


    『Woo…』


    Suddenly there was a sound of horns in the distance, and soon more horns joined in, getting bigger and bigger, gradually forming a roaring sound.


    Gao Shun looked around at his subordinates, seeing that they were all a little nervous, but most of them were excited faces, and suddenly burst out laughing.


    『Haha, it’s finally here...』Gao Shun pointed to the outside of the city and shouted loudly,『Beat the drum! Ready to fight..."


    The violent and berserk drums soared into the sky in an instant.


    …(╬￣dish￣)=○…


    Lv Bu stood on a high platform outside Dunhuang City, looking around.


    The soldiers were lined up neatly, and the cold light of the swords and guns seemed to scare the sun back, hiding behind the clouds.


    Lu Bu raised his arms high, and shouted wildly: "You guys! The war is on! Follow XX, and XX will lead you to achieve eternal success! 』


    『Oh oh oh! ’ The soldiers cheered, slapped their shields, and stomped their guns.


    Yun Er looked at Lu Bu adoringly, and shouted louder than anyone else.


    This guy, who looks like a black bear but more like a human being, after the fight with Lu Bu, and under the education of Lu Bu''s big stick... er, euphorbia, immediately turned into a loyal fan of Lu Bu.


    For Yun Er, he originally thought that power was everything in this world. Wolves are more powerful than rabbits, so wolves can eat rabbits, and tigers and leopards are more powerful than wolves, so wolves are afraid of tigers and leopards, and tigers and leopards dare not easily provoke black bears, but Yuner can fight with black bears, so Yun Er always thought that he was the strongest and most powerful until he met Lu Bu.


    Lu Bu not only has strength, but also has extremely high fighting skills, which undoubtedly opened a door to a new world for Yun Er that he has never touched before, and Yun Er couldn''t help but become fascinated, addicted to it and unable to extricate himself.


    The only thing that makes Yun Er feel a little regretful is that Lu Bu did not agree to his request to learn Lu Bu''s long halberd. If you want to learn the long halberd, you have to practice with an iron rod for a period of time, and then wait until you can release it and collect it...


    Li Ru was wrapped in a fur, standing on top of the Dunhuang city tower, watching Lu Bu and those soldiers in the distance with a solemn expression.


    『Da Duhu is about to leave...』Jiang Jiong said softly beside Li Ru, and there seemed to be some envy in his voice.


    Li Ru nodded, hehe smiled, "Now the Western Regions are getting more and more interesting..."


    Jiang Jiong looked at Li Ru.


    Li Ru didn''t want Jiang Jiong to answer anything, but pointed to the outside of the city, "A few years ago, a certain person worked hard, and the plan was nothing more than an inch, a small city..." Li Ru opened his hand, "And now... wherever people come, they are Han soil!" Wherever the heart goes, it is called the world! 』


    The big flag standing tall on the city tower crackled in the wind.


    Looking up, Jon Jiang saw the huge "Chinese" character on the big banner rolling violently like a wave, like a dragon about to jump into the sky, ready to go...


    Li Ru took a deep breath, and then asked Jiang Jiong: "Is the food, grass and supplies ready?" 』


    Jon Jiang replied: "It''s all ready." 』


    Li Ru smiled, "Then...let''s start..."


    …(＾－＾)V…


    The large and small Fangpan City, because it is located in a swamp area, did not build a special moat.


    In the Western Regions, there are not many cities with moats. Although everyone knows that the difficulty of attacking a city with a moat is much higher, and the casualties will also increase exponentially. However, due to geographical constraints, not all places can There are conditions for building a moat.


    Originally, the swamps in Fangpan City were almost equivalent to moats, but now that winter is coming, although the swamps are not easy to freeze, there are still many soft areas that have become stiff and passable, so it is also possible to It''s like God helping to fill in the moats of Fangpan City.


    The leader of Kucha, Bai Xiong, of course hopes to get the big and small Fangpan City easily, and even go down to Dunhuang directly, and then march into the Hexi Corridor of the Han people, but obviously, the Han people don''t want to give up here, and they can do it too. After making some preparations, it seems that the so-called abandonment of the city and fleeing will not happen, nor will it happen.


    The head of Kucha, Bai Xiong, didn''t care too much about Yun Rong''s affairs. It was all happened decades or hundreds of years ago. Now what''s the point of talking about it?


    These days, it still depends on whose fist is bigger.


    The leader of Kucha thinks his strategy is very good. Anyway, the ability of the Han people to defend the city has been experienced for so many years, so it is better not to fight the city or not, and the Han people have a very interesting thing, that is, they often If you can''t hold on to it, it''s like a large and small square city. Since Qiuci and others came in autumn, they have been sticking to the city and have not taken the initiative to seek battle.


    So, Qiuci felt that it was only necessary to make a show, encircle the big and small Fangpan City, and then lead people to invade Dunhuang Hexi, then the Han people would panic, and once they panic, they would naturally have an opportunity to take advantage of it.


    So, this group of Huren coalition forces in the Western Regions began to act, feigning an attack on the big and small Fangpan cities, while the large army, led by the Kucha white bear, rushed towards Dunhuang like a tide.


    Although it was a feint attack, the pressure was not easy for the big and small square pan cities.


    Whether it is the Qiuci people or the Yanqi people, they are good at bows and arrows. With an order, the Hu people who besieged the city rushed into the shooting area and began to suppress and shoot at the city wall. Thousands of arrows were densely packed in the air like blood-sucking sharp-billed beasts, screaming and throwing at the city wall, looking for the breath of flesh and blood.


    Gao Shun shouted: "Hold up the shield!" 』


    The shield soldiers raised their long shields obliquely, the archers covered themselves behind the shields, and the spearmen and axemen all fell behind the shield wall. Everyone looked nervous and waited with bated breath.


    The long arrows tore through the air, making a chaotic and piercing sound of "swoosh", which arrived instantly, followed by the chaotic sound of the long arrows falling on the city wall or the shield, which was heard endlessly, and then all the sounds gathered together , forming a huge roar.


    The Hu people formed two rather large shooting arrays to cover the Hu people''s clinging and destruction of the city wall. Amidst the strange orders of the Hu people with different levels and accents, the long arrows broke away from the long bows, and they screamed sharply, scrambling to be the first The ground jumped into the air, and in an instant, the entire sky was filled with arrows, like locusts all over the sky, covering the sun immediately.


    On the tower of Xiaofangpan City, on the pillars of the wooden gate tower, arrows were nailed in all directions, and there were even many arrows that could not grab the place, so they snapped the wooden pillars in front of them. The arrows on the ground were knocked out and fell to the ground together, and the vacated space was filled in the next moment.


    Some of the tiles on the city gate tower were also shot down and hit the city wall. Amidst the crackling sound, one fell to pieces. Some red and black Han banners groaned in pain under the ravages of long arrows, pierced beyond recognition by sharp arrows, and still stood upright with difficulty.


    Old bark, not the real bark, but a personal name.


    Old Bark is a veteran. He has been in the army for seven years. He has always been very grateful that he is an archer. He thinks this is the main reason why he is alive now. Archers are always able to stay farther away from the enemy, follow behind the army when chasing, and run in front of the large army when fleeing.


    It''s been seven years without any promotion, and now it''s just a senior. Those who joined the army at the same time as him can be regarded as comrades-in-arms at the same time. Naturally, some got promoted and made a fortune, but many more died in the battlefield. Those men were stronger, quicker, and more powerful than Old Bark, so they became sword and shield fighters, they became hand-to-hand fighters, and...


    There is often no later.


    Through the gap between the shield and the city wall, the old tree bark swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw a mass of barbarians under the city. Hu people are so **** capable of giving birth, and both men and women can shoot bows. Old Shupi even saw that there were quite a few female Hu people in the bow and arrow queue...


    The arrows whizzed, and some of them almost came out from the observation gap of the old bark. The old bark shrank his neck in fright, but turned his head and saw the young man beside him staring at him intently. Hong coughed, "You boy, what are you looking at?" 』


    This little soldier is new here.


    Is it Ergouzi or Erdanzi?


    Or Goudanzi?


    The old bark is a bit lost.


    『Sir, why didn’t the captain give the order? Hu people rushed up! 』The recruit seemed a little nervous, or a little excited, and the hand holding the bow trembled slightly.


    The old bark let out a sigh, "It''s still early...the arrows are so dense now, and those who charge up are protected by shields, we can''t kill a few of them... Wait a minute, wait a minute, when the barbarian archers get tired, let''s go." Will stop...Remember to shoot at the archers standing behind, don''t stare so **** straight at the guys in front of you...Also, don''t worry, shoot an arrow, draw back, put the bow on the arrow, shoot again, come back ...Like training, understand...』


    『Understood, I understand...』 The recruit quickly replied, and then looked at the old bark with a kind of admiration, 『Why do you know so much...』


    Old Bark smiled and didn''t answer, but the sword and shield hand joined the group chat, "Listen to your skills, that''s right... Remember to move quickly..."


    The recruit couldn''t help it, and he also took a look out from the gap, and then retracted his head, "There are so many barbarians..."


    The old bark (ˉ▽￣～) cut a sound, "How much is this?" Back then, when I was in Mobei with General Hussars, that was called a lot... Didn''t I still win the battle? These barbarians, in my opinion, are not much stronger than Xianbei...』


    While holding the shield, the knife and shield hand said: "That''s right, there are only this few people. When the time comes, most of the escorts will be able to eat them in one bite... huh..."


    Hearing this, the recruit looked up at the old bark, then at the sword and shield hand, with the word "worship" written on his face.


    『Ready...』Old Bark glanced at Gao Shun, and suddenly said, 『The captain is going to order...』


    The recruit was taken aback, and frantically pulled his bow.


    『Cough! Don''t push so hard, relax..." The old bark glared at the recruit, "Remember what I just said? 』


    The recruit nodded again and again, but his heart was in confusion. What did he say just now? Are there not many barbarians? Not as good as the Xianbei people? Or something else?


    By the way, those who shoot long, those who want to shoot long...


    Gao Shun shrank behind the shield, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind. The jingling sounds around him seemed to be listening to music.


    The bows used by the Hu people seem to be longer and bigger than the bows of the Han people, so the range is longer, but at the same time, the energy consumption used to draw the long bow and shoot is naturally more than the bows of the Han people …


    『Bow and arrow, get ready...』


    Gao Shun suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.


    『Archer! Up the arrow! 』


    The middle-level military academy non-commissioned officer relayed the order.


    The archer silently put on the arrow, opened his bow slightly, and leaned against the shielder.


    After a few breaths, the dense and noisy sound seemed to suddenly become smaller. Gao Shun pushed away the sword and shield hand beside him, and shouted: "Great wind! Gale! 』


    During the order, the old bark was very skillful sticking to the sword and shield to let out the gap, only showing half of his face and body, and shot the first arrow with a whooping sound, and then his right hand was like a fluttering butterfly, holding Arrowing, raising the arrow, drawing the bow, aiming, and shooting, a series of actions are completed almost instantly, which makes people dazzled, and the mouth seems to be chanting or cursing non-stop, and the whole body is immersed in the rapid shooting of pleasure.


    A long arrow flew out of Xiaofangpan City''s city wall almost simultaneously with an angry howl, and then rushed towards the barbarians under the city wall, splashing blood one after another.


    The barbarian''s counterattack came soon, and with the sound of Gao Shun yelling and raising his shield again, the old bark had safely shot a whole round of ten arrows, and then retracted early, and was about to stand proudly Bragging in front of the recruit, he turned his head and saw that the recruit just now had fallen to the side, with an arrow piercing through his head...


    The sword and shield hand on the side put the shield back on, and then glanced over, "This silly boy...exposed too much...I pulled it, it was too late..."


    The old bark sighed, his face wrinkled more like the old bark. He remembered, this child is called Zhang Erdan, and he is only eighteen years old...


    Old Bark doesn’t want to remember the names of his soldiers, but only their nicknames, because when he wants to write and remember their names, it’s often like this...


    『These damned barbarians...』


    Gao Shun''s voice sounded again: "The bow and arrow are ready!" 』


    Old Bark took a deep look at the fallen Zhang Erdan, then silently took the arrow bag that was originally placed on Zhang Erdan''s side to his side, and put it together with his own arrow bag...


    …convex(艹盘艹)…


    『These damned Han Chinese! 』


    Below the city, Que Su from Yanqi was also cursing.


    The sound of ox horns, drums, shouts, fighting, and screams resounded through the city wall. Long black arrows were flying in the air, **** swords were whistling in the wind, huge stones were raging on the ladder, and heavy wooden rings With the sound of wind and thunder, it fell from the city wall, bringing up huge blood flowers.


    Due to the toughness of the Han people, the Yanqi people suffered heavy casualties, and many corpses were lying around the city quickly, and many wounded Yanqi people were supported or dragged, retreated, and moaned on one side with.


    Blood stained this area red, and the **** of death hovered over this side, laughing loudly.


    "retreat! retreat! do not fight! 』


    Yanqi leader Que Su roared, the flesh on his face trembling.


    『Retreat now? ”Amusi, the leader of Shache, said at the side, “Didn’t the white bear say that we should fight until dark…”


    『It’s dark? ! How many people are we going to die when it gets dark? ! Que Su, the leader of Yanqi, said angrily, pointing to the forward position, "It''s only been a few hours, how many casualties have we suffered?" ! When it gets dark, how much more do you have to fill in? 』


    Amusi, the head of the Shache, looked around and fell silent.


    Yanqi people and Shache people thought that although the Han people were strong, they were not too scary. They even thought that Xiaofangpan City was only a small place, and that the Han people might be able to take it directly. You need to be more cautious when you are in the city.


    In the original plan, even if Xiaofangpan City couldn’t be conquered, it might be possible to put enough pressure on Xiaofangpan City so that Dafangpan City had to send reinforcements, then naturally they could attack the reinforcements directly...


    However, now, it seems that the plan has deviated from the beginning.


    The Han people''s excellent equipment, strong physique, and superb skills, even relying on the longbow, gave the Han people some suppression and damage, but the Han people relied on the height difference of the city, and also caused a lot of damage and pressure to the Longbow team , causing the longbow to suppress the city''s head is not very strong, and it is naturally more difficult to climb and attack the city, more like doing an ineffective move.


    "retreat! retreat! ’ Que Su, the leader of Yanqi, emphasized again, ‘I also hope to win! I also hope to be able to capture the territory of the Han people and obtain the property of the Han people, but...we need people first! If everyone is gone, what is the use even if they really win? ! 』


    Amsi was silent, and then seemed to ask a question that was not very relevant to the moment: "I heard that people from Yunrong...do you think this... is true or false..."


    Que Su sneered and said, "So what if it''s real, and what if it''s fake?" 』


    Amsey nodded, "That''s what you said... then... let''s retreat..."


    The low-pitched horn sounded again, but this time it was not urging to attack, but to retreat...
