Chapter 1943 Wherever people go, they are Han


    ??The sky in the Western Regions in late autumn is blue, vast, high, and so beautiful that it makes people feel enchanted. However, when the eyes turn downwards, it is so gray, black, gray, and gray, which makes people feel dirty.


    In the early morning, a golden sun rises, spreading its light throughout the space. The large banner 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. They look dignified and vicissitudes of life, and also have a vague aura of looking down on the world. Let people''s souls be captured.


    Gao Shun stood under the banner and looked at Qiuci and others in the distance who were squirming like ants.


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


    Gao Shun glanced around at his subordinates and saw that each of them was a little nervous, but most of them had excited faces, and suddenly burst into laughter.


    "Haha, we''re finally here..." Gao Shun pointed to the outside of the city and shouted at the top of his lungs, "beat the drum!" Get ready to fight…』


    The fierce and violent sound of war drums soared into the sky in an instant.


    …(╬￣俣)=○…


    ?Lu Bu stood on a high platform outside Dunhuang City and looked around.


    ??The soldiers were arranged neatly, and the cold light of the swords and guns seemed to scare away the sun, hiding behind the clouds.


    Lu Bu raised his arms high and shouted loudly: "Sons!" The war has begun! Follow XX, and XX will lead you to achieve eternal achievements! 』


    Oh oh oh! ” The soldiers cheered, slapping their shields and holding the butts of their guns.


    Yun Er looked at Lu Bu with admiration and shouted louder than anyone else.


    ??This guy who looks more like a black bear than a human being, after the duel with Lu Bu, and under the education of Lu Bu''s big stick...er, spurge, he immediately became Lu Bu''s loyal fan.


    For Yun Er, he originally thought that power was everything in this world. The wolf is stronger than the rabbit, so the wolf can eat the rabbit, and the tiger and leopard are stronger than the wolf, so the wolf is afraid of the tiger and leopard, and the tiger and leopard do not dare to easily provoke the black bear, but Yunji can fight with the black bear, 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 extremely high fighting skills. This undoubtedly opened a door to a new world for Yun Er that he had never been exposed to before. Yun Er could not help but be fascinated and addicted to it and could not extricate himself.


    The only thing that made Yun Er regretful was that Lu Bu didn''t agree to his request to learn Lu Bu''s halberd, and even the weapon was replaced with a smaller iron rod, because Lu Bu said that the weapon used by Yun Er could be used for shooting. If you want to learn how to use a long halberd, you should first practice with an iron rod for a while, and then wait until you can release and retract it...


    Li Ru was wrapped in fur and stood on the tower of Dunhuang City, looking at Lu Bu and the soldiers in the distance with a solemn expression.


    ‘The Great Protector is about to set off...’ Jiang Juan said softly next to Li Ru, with a hint of envy in his voice.


    ?Li Ru nodded and smiled, "Now the Western Region is becoming more and more interesting..."


    ?Jiang Juan looked at Li Ru.


    Li Ru didn''t want Jiang Juan to answer anything, but pointed to the outside of the city, "A few years ago, a certain person worked hard and planned, but it was only a small amount of time, a small city..." Li Ru opened his hand, "And now...wherever people go, they are Han!" Wherever your heart goes, you can conquer the world! 』


    ??The large scroll standing high on the city tower crackled in the wind.


    ??Jiang Juan looked up and saw that the huge "Chinese" character on the scroll was rolling violently like a wave, like a dragon that was about to leap into the air and was getting ready to go...


    Li Ru took a breath, and then asked Jiang Yan: "Are you ready with all the food, grass and baggage?" 』


    ??Jiang Juan replied: "Everything is ready." 』


    Li Ru smiled and said, "Then... let''s get started..."


    …(＾－＾)V…


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


    In the Western Region, there are not many cities with moats. Although everyone knows that attacking a city with a moat is much more difficult and casualties will double. However, due to geographical constraints, not all places can There are conditions for building a moat.


    Originally, the swamps in Fangpan City and Fangpan City were almost equivalent to moats, but now that winter is coming, although the swamps are not easily frozen, many areas that were originally soft and collapsed have begun to become stiff and can be passed, so it is also It''s like God helped fill in the moats of the big and small square cities.


    Bai Xiong, the leader of Qiuci, certainly hopes that he can easily take over Fangpan City and Fangpan City, and even attack Dunhuang directly, and then march into the Hexi Corridor of the Han people. However, it is obvious that the Han people do not want to give up here. After making some preparations, the so-called abandoning the city and fleeing did not seem to happen, nor was it possible.


    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????s???


    These days, it still depends on who has the bigger fist.


    The Qiuci leader felt that his strategy was very good. Anyway, the Han people had experienced the ability to defend the city over the years, so it was better not to attack the city or not. Moreover, there was a very interesting thing about the Han people, that they often They were unable to defend themselves, just like the big and small Fangpan City. Ever since Qiuci and others arrived in autumn, they had been holding on to the city and had not taken the initiative to seek a fight.


    Therefore, Qiuci felt that he only needed to make a show of surrounding the large and small square cities, and then lead people to invade Dunhuang and Hexi. Then the Han people would panic, and once they panic, they would naturally have an opportunity.


    As a result, this group of barbarian coalition forces in the Western Regions began to take action, feigning attacks on Fangpan City and Fangpan City, and the large army, led by Qiuci White Bear, rushed towards Dunhuang like a tide.


    Although it was a feint attack, the pressure was not easy for Fangpan City.


    ??Both the Kucha people and the Yanqi people are good at bows and arrows. Following the order, the barbarians who besieged the city rushed into the shooting area and began to suppress the city wall. Thousands of arrows were densely packed in the air like blood-sucking sharp-mouthed beasts, screaming and throwing at the city wall, looking for the breath of flesh and blood.


    Gao Shun shouted: "Raise your shield!" 』


    ??The shield soldiers raised their long shields at an angle, the archers covered their shields, and the spear soldiers and sword and ax soldiers all lay behind the shield wall. Everyone looked nervous and waited with bated breath.


    The long arrow tore through the air, making a messy and harsh "whoosh" sound. It arrived in an instant, and then there was the messy sound of the long arrow falling on the city wall or the shield, which was endless, and then all the sounds came together. , forming a huge roar.


    The barbarians set up two large shooting arrays to cover the barbarians'' attempts to cling to and destroy the city wall. Amid the barbarians'' orders in different tones and strange tones, the long arrows separated from the long bows and screamed rapidly, 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, immediately blocking the sun.


    On the city tower of Xiaofangpan City, arrows were nailed on the pillars of the wooden gate tower. There were even many arrows that were later unable to grab the space, so they snapped the wooden pillars that had been erected in front of them. The arrows were knocked off and fell to the ground together, and the space vacated was filled in the next moment.


    ??Some of the tiles on the city gate tower were also shot down and smashed on the city wall. With a crackling sound, they all shattered. Some red and black Han flags groaned in pain under the ravages of long arrows. They were pierced beyond recognition by sharp arrows, but they still stood with difficulty.


    Old bark is not the actual tree bark, but a personal name.


    Lao Shubari is a veteran. He has been in the army for seven years. He has always been grateful that he is an archer. He thinks this is the main reason why he is alive today. Archers can always stay farther away from the enemy, follow the army when pursuing, and run in front of the large army when escaping.


    It has been seven years, and there has been no promotion. Now, it is just a senior position. Those who joined the army at the same time as him were considered comrades-in-arms at the same time. Naturally, some of them got promoted and made a fortune, but more of them died on the battlefield. Those people were stronger, more agile, more powerful than Old Bark, so they became sword and shield bearers, became hand-to-hand combatants, and then...


    There is often no follow-up.


    Through the gap between the shield and the city wall, Lao Shubari saw the dark crowd of barbarians under the city, and couldn''t help but swallowed his saliva. The barbarians are so **** fertile, and both men and women can use bows in battle. Old Shupi even saw a lot of female barbarians in the bow and arrow queue...


    The arrows whizzed, and a few of them almost came out of the gap where the old tree bark was observing. The old tree bark was so frightened that he quickly shrank his neck, but turned around to see the young man next to him staring at him intently, and couldn''t help but smile a little. Hong coughed, "You kid, what are you looking at?" 』


    This soldier is new.


    Is it called Ergouzi or Erdanzi?


    Or maybe Goudanzi??????Old Tree Bark has some unclear memories.


    Why hasn’t the captain given the order yet? The barbarians are rushing forward! 』The recruit seemed a little nervous or a little excited, and the hand holding the bow was trembling slightly.


    Old Tree Bark yelled, "It''s still early... The arrows are so dense now, and those who come up are protected by shields, we can''t kill a few... Wait a minute, wait until the barbarian archers get tired, just It will stop... Then remember to shoot the archers standing behind you, don''t stare at the guys in front of you... Also, don''t worry, shoot an arrow, retract it, nock the arrow on the bow, shoot again, and come back …It’s just like the training, you know…”


    "I understand, I understand..." the recruit replied quickly, and then looked at the old bark with admiration, "How do you know so much..."


    Lao Shupi smiled and did not answer, but the sword and shield wielder on the side joined the group chat, "It depends on what you are good at...remember to move more quickly..."


    ???The recruit couldn''t help it and took a look outside the gap, then retracted his head and said, "There are so many barbarians..."


    The old tree bark (ˉ▽￣~) made a sound, "How many do you call this?" When I followed the hussar general in Mobei, that was called Duo... Didn''t he still win the battle? In my opinion, these barbarians are not much better than Xianbei..."


    ??The sword and shield wielder said while holding the shield: "That''s right, with just these people, when most of the guards come, they can be eaten in one bite... Haha..."


    Hearing this, the new soldier looked up at the old tree bark and then at the sword and shield hand, with the word "adoration" written on his face.


    "Ready..." Lao Shupi glanced at Gao Shun and suddenly said, "The captain is about to give an order..."


    ??The recruits were startled and hurriedly pulled their bows.


    『Cough! Don''t exert so much force, relax..." Old Tree Bark glared at the recruit, "Do you remember what I just said? 』


    ??The recruit nodded repeatedly, but his heart was in confusion. What did Shichang just say? Are there not enough of these barbarians? Not as good as Xianbei people? Or is there something else?


    By the way, shoot the far one, shoot the far one...


    Gao Shun huddled behind the shield, seemingly closing his eyes and concentrating. The tinkling sounds around him were like listening to music.


    The bows used by the Hu people seem to be longer and larger than the bows of the Han people, so the range is longer, but similarly, the energy consumption used to draw the long bow to shoot is naturally more than that of the Han people. …


    Bow and arrow, ready...』


    Gao Shun suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.


    Archer! Arrow up! 』


    The middle-level military sergeants relayed orders.


    The archer silently nocked the arrows, opened his bow slightly, and leaned against the shield hand.


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


    Under the command, Old Shupi had already very skillfully moved his hand against the sword and shield to get out of the gap. Only half of his face and body were exposed. He shot the first arrow with a whoosh, and then his right hand was like a flying butterfly. Arrow, arrow, draw the bow, aim, shoot, a series of actions are completed almost instantly, it is dizzying, and the mouth seems to be constantly talking or cursing, and the whole body is immersed in rapid shooting. of pleasure.


    With an angry whistling, long arrows flew out from the wall of Xiaofangpan City almost at the same time, and then pounced on the barbarians under the wall, splashing blood one after another.


    The barbarians'' counterattack came quickly. With Gao Shun shouting to raise his shield again, Old Tree Bark had safely fired a full round of ten arrows, then retracted early, and was about to be proud of himself. The recruit Danzi boasted in front of him, but when he turned around, he saw that the recruit had fallen to the side, with an arrow piercing his head...


    The sword-and-shielder on the side put the shield on his head again, and then looked over, "This silly boy... exposed too much... I pulled it, but it was too late..."


    Old Tree Bark sighed, his face wrinkled more like Old Tree Bark. He remembered that this child''s name was Zhang Erdan, he was only eighteen years old...


    Lao Shubi doesn''t want to remember the names of his soldiers, but only wants to remember their nicknames, because when it comes time to write down their names, it''s often times like this...


    "These **** barbarians..."


    Gao Shun''s voice sounded again: "Ready the bow and arrow!" 』


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


    …convex(艹艹)…


    『These **** Han Chinese! 』


    Under the city, Quesu, a Yanqi man, was also cursing.


    The sound of horns, the sound of war drums, shouts, fighting, and screams resounded up and down the city wall, long black arrows flew in the air, **** swords whistled in the wind, huge stones were raging on the ladder, and heavy wooden hammers It crashed down from the city wall with the sound of wind and thunder, bringing up huge blood flowers.


    Due to the toughness of the Han people, the Yanqi people suffered heavy casualties. Many corpses soon lay scattered around the city. There were also many injured Yanqi people who were supported or dragged and retreated, whining and moaning on one side. With.


    ?Blood stained this area red, and the **** of death was hovering over this area, laughing loudly.


    "retreat! retreat! Stop fighting! 』


    ??The senior man Que Su roared, the flesh on his face trembling a little.


    Retreat now? ” Amsi, the leader of Shache, said from the side, “Didn’t White Bear say he wants us to beat him till dark...”


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


    Amsi, the driver of the car, looked around and fell silent.


    At first, the Yanqi and Shache people thought that although the Han were strong, they were not too scary. They even thought that Xiaofangpan City was only limited to this small area, and that the Han people might be able to join forces to capture it directly. You need to be more cautious when entering the city.


    ?In the original plan, even if the small Fangpan City cannot be captured, it may be possible to put enough pressure on the small Fangpan City so that the large Fangpan City has to send reinforcements, and then naturally it can directly attack the reinforcements...


    However, now, it seems that there were some deviations in the plan from the very beginning.


    The Han people''s sophisticated equipment, strong physique, and superb skills, even if they relied on the longbow, gave the Han people some suppression and damage, but the Han people relied on the height difference of the city, which also caused a lot of damage and pressure to the longbow team. , As a result, the long bow is not very powerful in suppressing the city, and it is naturally more difficult to cling to the city, and it is more like an ineffective move.


    "retreat! retreat! ” Yanqi leader Que Su emphasized again, “I also hope to defeat him! I also hope to capture Han territory and obtain Han property, but... we need people first! Everyone is gone, so even if we really win, what''s the use? ! 』


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


    Quesu sneered and said, "So what if it''s true, so what if it''s fake?" 』


    Amsi nodded, "That''s what I said...then...retreat..."


    ??The low horn sound sounded again, but this time it was not urging an attack, but a retreat...
