Chapter 337 Reversal

The Yuezhi people thought that their capital city could not be saved, and the Huns also believed that they could definitely capture the city, but some people still didn't think so. When the Huns came to the city, they wanted to help the Yuezhi people.

Defend the city, because their experience in defending the city is better than that of the Yuezhi people, but the Yuezhi people think that with their own

Their troops were sufficient, so they could only stay below. But when the Yuezhi people defending the city could not resist, countless Huns came up on the city, the city gate was broken, and many more Huns took advantage of the situation to rush in.

, they rushed forward after the general gave the order. They were the Qin army who came here with Zidu and could not leave.

Thirty thousand people went out to conquer the grassland. After several battles, the original recruits grew into strong warriors. The battle in Shanyu's tent was even more brutal. The last ten thousand people left behind have become the elite among the elite.

.They did not have the slightest fear of the Huns in their hearts, but only deep-seated hatred. Therefore, when they attacked, their aura was completely different from that of the Yuezhi people just now, although their clothes were the same as those of the Yuezhi people.

When the Huns were about to fight, they discovered such a strange team. No matter their formation or combat power, they far exceeded those vulnerable Yueshi people. The Huns finally encountered

Although they faced a decent opponent, they didn't panic at all. They still rushed forward and talked to the enemy with the sword in their hands.

If they were on the grassland, these Qin troops would not be able to compete with the Xiongnu cavalry that was several times their size, but now they are in the city, where the place is small and there are many people, which means that the Xiongnu cavalry cannot fully utilize their strengths.

Come out. This is given to that

Taking advantage of the opportunity, some Qin soldiers fought fiercely with the Huns in a formation most suitable for street fighting in the city. Most of the Huns who rushed in quickly fell under their swords. This made

The Huns' attack was slowed down.

It was precisely because of this that the Yuezhi defenders had a chance to breathe. When they saw the Qin soldiers who had nothing to do with them, they were like leopards charging into the Huns, slashing left and right.

When the bloody road came, they felt deeply ashamed of their cowardice. This was the capital of their Yuezhi people, and behind them were their relatives and friends, but they were still so helpless that they did not even have the courage to fight the Huns.

None.

Just now, Aleri led his men and horses to fight hard but could not stop the Huns from entering. In the end, he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow and was pulled back. Now he also felt that the momentum of these Yueshi soldiers was very different from before.

He knew that it was the Qin army who fought desperately with the Huns in front who gave them

Stimulated. So he pushed away the soldiers who were bandaging him, raised the long knife in his hand and said: "The Huns are nothing more than that, warriors, kill them and drive them out of our Lanshi City!"

After saying this, he took the lead and attacked the Huns cavalry who were fighting with the Qin army.

Originally, the Yuezhi people were already desperate because of the Qin army's desperate efforts, but now Allery's shout aroused their strongest fighting spirit. The moment he rushed out, countless

The Yuezhi people also shouted and killed them. Even the wary Marquis Weng, who had a grudge against Aleri, was affected by this momentum. He temporarily put aside the struggle for fame and wealth in his heart and led his own way.

The warriors of the tribe went up to kill him.

In the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield changed. The Huns, who had already had a sure chance of victory, were killed by Yuezhi and Qin people and retreated steadily until they were completely driven out of Lanshi City.

Mao Dun, who was supervising the battle outside the city, never expected that things would turn so suddenly. Before he could even react appropriately, the Huns who entered the city were killed and forced to retreat.

Many people were killed on the ground by those behind them before they could even exit.

The sudden setback made the Huns, who had always been invincible, extremely uncomfortable. Coupled with the extremely high morale of the Qin army and Yuezhi people who rushed out of the city, the Huns eventually had to retreat continuously.

Avoid the enemy's pursuit.

After chasing the Huns for nearly twenty miles, killing nearly ten thousand of them, and avenging all the troops guarding the border, the troops of Yueshi and Daqin returned to Lanshi City. In this battle, they actually used their own great strength

Victory and completion, this is something that the people of Yuezhi find hard to believe. This makes them greatly admire the Qin army who dared to fight the Huns from the beginning, thus giving them courage, and regard them as their idols.

But some of them who understand the strength comparison between themselves and the Huns are not as optimistic as the ordinary soldiers. They know that although they have won a big victory today, the loss of men and horses did not hurt the Huns much.

, they will inevitably attack Lan's City again after taking a short rest, and then they will not attack blindly like today, and the problems they will face will become more serious. Of course, all this will have to wait until tomorrow.

It would happen, so after returning to the city, all the Yuezhi people held a big celebration banquet to celebrate the victory of this battle.

Contrary to the joyful situation of the Yuezhi people, the Huns were greatly discouraged. They settled down after leaving the pursuing Yuezhi people, and then were busy eating and treating their wounds. All the Huns felt ashamed.

They were also angry. They were actually chased back by the Yuezhi people whose military strength was far inferior to their opponents. What a shame it was.

Only Mao Dun's face was not as ugly as the others. After all, he was a man who had experienced great things. This setback could not defeat him. Moreover, he knew that the troops he had now were still enough to capture the Lan City.

In order to wash away the shame of losing this battle, he called all the leaders and generals who came with him to conquer the Yuezhi people to his tent and said to them: "We were not really defeated by the Yuezhi people.

, it’s just because we underestimated the enemy too much, and we drove for days to get here, that the Yuezhi people had this opportunity. But as long as we take a good rest for a day or two and prepare everything, then those Yuezhi people

They cannot compete with us at all, and they will definitely pay the price for what happened today."

Although those people were very depressed, they also believed that what Mao Dun said was reasonable, so they began to discuss with him how to recover this debt in the future and completely defeat or even exterminate the Yuezhi people.

After resting for two days to allow the soldiers who were demoralized by the defeat to recover, Mao Dun once again led his men and horses towards Lan's City. However, this time they were moving much slower than before, and the army

The murderous aura in him was also much stronger than before.

But when they came to Lan's City, expecting to fight in like last time, they were shocked by the Lan's City that appeared in front of them. Although the city was still in its original place, it appeared out of thin air.

It was several feet deep, and a trench surrounding the city had been dug outside the city. It was several feet deep and not wide enough for a horse to jump over. Moreover, the top of the city was dotted with Yuezhi defenders armed with bows and arrows, who were always vigilant.

.This city has actually undergone such a big change in just two or three days, from a city that can be easily defeated to a fortified city.

"What's going on?" This was Mao Dun's first reaction after seeing Lan's city changed, but no one could explain it to him. Because the people who followed him didn't know why, but they knew

The reason is that the people are in the city. If this city is in the Central Plains, then Mao Dun and others can understand it, but this is also in the grassland. There has never been a city in the grassland that is so easy to defend and difficult to attack. But Mao Dun

He still had to order an attack on Lan's City, because he knew that there was no way to break the city if he delayed it, which would further lower the morale of the army.

But if you want to attack the city, you must first pass through the wide trench in front of you. Although it is impossible to form a moat because of the scarcity of water here, this trench still blocks the steps of the Huns cavalry. They have no choice but to attack from a distance.

They moved earth and rocks everywhere to fill up the trench. At this time, the Huns who were transporting earth and rocks became the target of the archers at the top of the city. Sharp arrows were shot down from the city, one after another.

Those Huns without shields were crucified on the ground one by one. When the trench was filled in to create a passage for the Huns cavalry to pass, thousands of Huns had been shot.

This made the Huns even more angry. Once the trench was filled, they shouted loudly and attacked. They finally managed to avoid the dense rain of arrows and reached the bottom of the city. They thought they could just use their old tricks again.

The rope climbed up to the city. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stood still, large rocks were thrown down from the city. As a result, many Huns were caught off guard and were smashed to death by the rocks, and the city

However, the stones on their heads did not stop, and they hit the Huns who had finally reached the city with great difficulty and pushed them back. Then the archers on the city fired deadly arrows at them.

Seeing that their men and horses were constantly being killed by the defenders on the city, all the leaders looked at Mao Dun anxiously, waiting for him to make corresponding changes. But at this time, Mao Dun was unable to do anything, because he

From the Yuezhi people's tactics, he could see the shadow of the Qin people in the Central Plains defending the city. He had begun to wonder whether the defenders in Lan's city had been replaced. At the same time, he also began to regret that he did not lead the white shift.

He came here because only he can deal with this city and come up with ways to break it.

But what Modu didn't know was that a fast horse had already brought news of help from the day shift...
