In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Liu Wei transmigrated to become a prince of the Eastern Han, initially framed by Empress Dowager He and granted the barren and dangero...
"My lord, we've run out of arrows!"
"My lord, we've run out of firewood!"
"My lord..."
After three or four hours of relentless attacks by the Xianbei, Juyan City, a tiny place, seemed to be in grave danger.
Of the 1,000 defenders and 1,000 militiamen, most of them were lost.
The rest were all wounded.
Men, women, and children in the city have been mobilized to join the battle.
Now it's almost like the whole nation is a soldier.
Geng Chun, the Han general guarding Juyan City, never expected that the Xianbei cavalry's offensive would become so sharp.
In the past, whether it was the Xianbei, Qiang, or Northern Xiongnu who came to Juyan Lake to cause trouble, they basically all returned empty-handed.
They also knew the importance of this place to the border defense of the Han Dynasty.
Since the mighty Xiongnu Empire was shattered and destroyed by the Han Dynasty, this area has become a strategic location for the Han Dynasty to monitor the northern deserts and the area north of the Tianshan Mountains.
If we were to launch a forced attack, we would have to pay a heavy price.
Because once the signal fire is lit, reinforcements from Zhangye can travel down the Ruoshui River and arrive here in less than two days.
At that time, the Hu cavalry will be attacked from both sides, and even if they don't die, they will be badly injured.
But now, the Xianbei people from the Tuoba and Yuchi tribes dare to gather 40,000 cavalry and march south.
It was clear that they already knew that Liangzhou was in turmoil, and that Juyan Lake was definitely isolated and helpless.
Moreover, they would use human lives to exhaust the defensive supplies of Juyan City.
This shows their determination to capture Juyan City.
Only by taking this place can we advance unimpeded and plunder Zhangye.
"Demolish the house, use bricks!"
"When the bricks and wood run out, we'll use people to fill in!"
Upon hearing his subordinates report one after another that the city's supplies were running out, Geng Chun fell into despair.
It seems we have no choice but to perish with the city and die for our country!
Upon hearing the Commandant's solemn order, the soldiers and civilians in the city prepared to die.
For them, this is their place of survival.
They will build a Great Wall of flesh and blood with their own flesh and blood.
To take Juyan City, we must step over their corpses!
Geng Chun straightened his armor and stood at the front line.
He not only wanted to die with dignity, but also wanted to personally kill several Xianbei barbarians before he died.
In order to capture Juyan City, which was situated in the Ruoshui River Valley, the 10,000 Xianbei who attacked the city left behind more than 4,000 Xianbei corpses and countless horses at the foot of the three-zhang-high city wall.
The Xianbei general who commanded the siege, Yuchi Jiong, was the younger brother of Yuchi Gu, the leader of the Yuchi tribe.
Bald-haired Guili, the leader of the Bald-haired tribe, is the brother-in-law of Yuchi Gu, the leader of the Yuchi tribe, and he follows the Yuchi tribe's lead without question.
This time, Yu Chi Gu led his tribe south, and Tu Ba Gui Li was extremely urging him on.
He had a strong desire for the tender bodies of Han Chinese women.
At this moment, seeing his own troops and the Bald Hair tribe members dying one after another, Yu Chijiong felt extremely sorry for them, but his face remained expressionless.
The benefits of capturing Juyan Lake far outweigh those of the few who died.
If Juyan Lake is used as a fulcrum, they can continuously strengthen themselves by plundering Liangzhou and the Western Regions.
After this winter, Yuchi Gu will also have the opportunity to challenge Tuoba Gao of Darhan and drive Tuoba Gao, the Khan who has been crippled by the Han people, off his horse!
Whether the Hexi Xianbei tribe can rise to power and dominate the northern grasslands depends on this battle!
Yuchi Jiong has committed all 10,000 of his troops to battle.
Ten miles away on the Juyan Grassland, Yuchi Gu and Tuoba Guili's 30,000 cavalrymen were also assembled, fully armed and ready to join the battle at any time.
Although Yuchi Jiong has already lost more than 4,000 men, if he can capture Juyan City, his elder brother will definitely provide him with more troops.
And she would also give him the younger sister of Bald Guili, one of the two most beautiful women of the Hexi Xianbei!
Yuchi Gu married his sister.
As for his younger sister, Yuchi Gu had been coveting her for a long time.
For this woman with those blue eyes as blue as the Tianchi Lake in Yanran Mountain, Yuchi Jiong was willing to risk everything!
"The resistance in the city has become extremely weak; it is like a toothless wolf or a hornless sheep on the grassland!"
"Pass down the order: launch a full-scale attack, take this place, and massacre the city to celebrate!"
Yuchi Jiong loudly encouraged his men.
The bloodshed had turned these savage nomadic cavalrymen into beasts. Upon hearing of the massacre, they all opened their blood-red mouths and roared all day long!
The remaining six thousand Xianbei cavalry had become incredibly frenzied.
With the groundwork laid by the previous four thousand scapegoats, they were naturally incredibly excited to have survived until now and to be about to reap the fruits of victory.
"Once we break through the city, I'll have my brothers help you sleep with a few more women to appease your dead souls!"
While these 6,000 people were excited, they also silently offered their blessings to their deceased compatriots!
"Kill them!"
"Massacre the city!"
"Fuck a woman!"
The six thousand men had already turned into wild beasts, climbing up the city wall and smirking sinisterly at the women on the wall who were helping to rescue the wounded!
Even handsome men and children!
Instantly, the Han army defending the city and the Xianbei people attacking the city were locked in fierce combat.
Blood splattered everywhere, and people kept falling.
Geng Chun was surrounded and attacked by three Xianbei people. His body and arms were covered in wounds, and he fought hard!
The number of soldiers around him was also decreasing.
The Xianbei people have begun to prey on the women and children on the city walls.
Some even chased after the women on the city wall, tearing at their clothes, preparing to commit bestial acts directly on the city wall!
Some Xianbei cavalrymen, after capturing children, would throw them off the city wall to their deaths, laughing wildly as they did so.
