Chapter 112 Let's go directly
Outside Handan City, a siege battle is already underway.
The sound of whimpering horns sounded, which was a signal of the attack of the Chidi tribes.
Many soldiers of the Chidi tribe who were wearing leather jackets and exposed on their chests and bodies roared, waved the weapons in their hands, and pressed towards Handan City in a slight manner.
Above Handan City, the troops from Handan and Shi family were already ready to fight.
Handan Chan's loud voice echoed on the city wall: "Two and three sons, if Handan City is captured by Chi Di, we will all die without a place to bury us! This doctor has asked Quwo for reinforcements, and will arrive soon. Today, Chi Di will be defeated here, so that Chi Di knows the power of our Great Jin Dynasty in China!"
Handanzhan's encouragement seemed to have played some role in the defenders on the city wall, and a response roar broke out on the city wall, but due to the number of people, the sound was much thinner than that of Chi Di under the city.
The first group of brave Chidi soldiers had rushed to a place less than fifty steps away from the city wall of Handan. Here they were also "warmly entertained" by the defenders. A group of dense arrows shot down from the city wall, and suddenly shot down many Chidi soldiers.
"Okay, that's it, keep going!" Handanzhan's loud voice rang again.
The biggest magic weapon of the Chinese princes under the Zhou emperor system in the process of confronting the barbarians was shooting skills. Even the armored chariot heads were still the best shooting skills, which shows that they were the ones with the best shooting skills.
Under the continuous shooting of the archers, the number of casualties among the Chidi people began to rise continuously.
But soon, the Chidi Pioneer Army, who had suffered some casualties, rushed under the city wall and began to climb.
The city walls of this era were not built with stones like later generations. Most of them were made of rammed earth. Such city walls were actually quite average in height and strength, and were easier to climb.
About half an hour later, the Red Di warriors began to climb over and jump onto the city wall, but such warriors were often quickly killed by defenders waiting on the city wall.
The number of corpses of the Chidi people under the city wall gradually increased, but the Chidi soldiers behind them were still ordered to keep trampling on the bodies of their comrades and launching an attack.
Among the main formation of the Chidi army, a group of people who were obviously the Chidi nobles were quietly watching this scene.
In the center of the crowd, a man was tall and big, wearing needle-shaped jade ornaments between his ears and nose. He was about forty years old and had a fierce appearance and sat on a carriage and said coldly: "It seems that Handan family wants to resist to the end this time. Lord of the Jia family, your troops are not very effective."
Another man, who was about fifty years old, had a circle of copper rings wrapped around his wrists. He said lightly: "The Lord of Lu is joking. Handan is not the Wei Kingdom of the past, but a fiefdom doctor of Jin, the most powerful country today. How could it be so easy to break through Handan? If the Lord of Lu thinks that the sacrifice and blood that the warriors of the Jia family made in the city of Handan are so insignificant, then please ask the warriors of Lu family to attack the city by themselves."
Although it was despised by the Chinese nobles and officials, in fact, after hundreds of years of getting along with the Chinese princes, the remaining Rongdi tribes, especially the tribes that had most frequently contacted with Jin in the Taihang Mountains, have already had "Huaxiaization" to varying degrees, and founding the country is one of them.
In the eyes of the Chidi people, they are not the Jia clan tribe, the Lu clan tribe, the Liuzhao tribe and the Neijuru tribe, but the Jia clan tribe, the Lu clan tribe, the Liuzhao tribe and the Neijuru tribe!
Regarding the attack on Handan, these tribes are more willing to regard it as a confrontation between their "princes" of Chidi and the "princes" of the Chinese state of Jin.
The leader of the Lu clan laughed and said, "The Lord of the Jia clan is joking. I am not dissatisfied with the Lord of the Jia clan. I just think that since the warriors of the Jia clan have all entered the battle, what are the warriors of Liu Yu and Gue Juru? Lando, your father, Lord of the Yanjiru, did not come this time, should you have an explanation?"
Lando, the eldest son of the leader of the Guru tribe, stood up and bowed to the leader of the Lu clan and said, "Please rest assured, I will let the warriors of Guru in the attack! But do things fairly. If all three of us have already started the attack, can the Lu clan, as the leader, stand by and watch?"
The leader of the Lu clan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lando coldly: "Are you questioning my command?"
Lando said without changing his face: "Nei Juru is not a prisoner under the command of the lord, please do not talk to me in such a tone."
The leader of the Lu clan was furious and slapped the handrail of the carriage beside him with a bang: "Lando, what are you? Even your father dare not contradict me like this! Come on, take this bastard for me!"
A group of Lu soldiers rushed up immediately and surrounded Lando and others.
However, the soldiers around Lando were certainly not decorations, and the two sides formed a confrontation for a moment.
At this moment, the head of the clan A clan spoke again: "Okay, two of us, we are now attacking Handan at the critical moment. Shouldn't we wait until we conquer Handan before we talk about it? If we continue like this, we may have to do useless work this time."
This sentence seemed to touch the leader of the Lu clan. He snorted coldly and waved his hand. The Lu clan people lifted the siege of Lando and others.
Lando's face also calmed down a lot. After bowing to the Lord of the Jia clan to thank him, he whispered a few instructions to the person he was close to.
Soon, the sound of a new horn sounded again, and the three Chidi troops of Lu, Liu Xu and Nei Juru also began to join the siege of Handan City.
"In ten days, we must take down Handan City!"
...
After leaving the boundary of Zhongmu City, the southeastern Shanxi Plain, which was alluvialized by the Yellow River for many years, appeared at my feet.
Many farmers and peasant women are busy in the fields. The older children have begun to learn to go to the fields to help, while the younger children are running carefree in the ridges and grasslands, making a series of silver bell-like laughter.
But the closer this situation is to Handan, the rarer it is.
Finally, about thirty miles away from Handan, Wei Xiang and others received affirmative news from a convoy that could not escape.
"Handan has been surrounded by the Chidi army."
When saying this, the old manager who was responsible for negotiating with Wei Xiang and others could see that he was a little scared. The main reason should be the fifty fully armed soldiers behind Wei Xiang.
Wei Xiang pondered for a moment, thanked him, and then continued to go north.
Lan Jie looked at Wei Xiang curiously: "Aren't you the brigade commander of Handan? Why do you look so calm?"
Wei Xiangqing let out a sigh and said, "If you can scare away your Chidi army by being furious, then I should have done this long ago."
Lan Jie was stunned for a moment and said, "We should be able to rush outside Handan City tomorrow. What do you plan to do then?"
Wei Xiang didn't give this answer until the next day.
Chapter completed!
