Chapter 417: The Power of Barbed Wire

Wuhuan's heart was bleeding, it was these unremarkable walls that ended up trapping more than 20,000 of their soldiers.

After the fight, Zhang Yu asked the army to withdraw.

Zhang Yu and the others also lost nearly 10,000 people this time.

After all, the Wuhuan people's individual combat ability is still very difficult to deal with.

"There is only the last barrier left, but no matter how powerful you are, you will never break through this barrier easily." Zhang Yu said while looking at the city.

Indeed, Zhang Yu also prepared a barrier, and the Wuhuan people could only attack the city wall if they broke through.

The Wuhuan people did not expect that even though Shenyang City is strong, there are so many roads outside the city.

After four days of being held back by the trenches, another day has passed.

The next day, the Wuhuan people continued to attack, but this time they were much more careful.

Wuhuan's army advanced cautiously, and sure enough, it didn't take long for them to encounter an attack, and a large number of arrows were shot from behind the wall.

The Wuhuan army who had been on guard for a long time began to evade, but the arrows were so dense that they still killed and injured hundreds of people.

Braving rounds of arrow rain, they slowly advanced.

When they hit those walls, the arrow rain they took started to decrease.

They stopped, and then someone dismounted and started breaking down the walls with maces or boulders.

It has to be said that Zhang Yu and the others built the wall relatively solidly, able to withstand their slamming for almost a quarter of an hour.

"Boom~"

The wall was knocked down, and Qiu Liju in the back felt a lot more relaxed watching the smoke and dust coming out of the wall.

He didn't expect that the situation was not so good this time when the army came under the pressure.

I didn't expect to be destroyed, but was stopped, and a lot of time was wasted.

Delaying time is comparable to losing troops for them.

Now that the walls in front of them have been demolished one by one, Qiu Liju will naturally feel much more relaxed.

When the Wuhuan people approached the city wall, Zhang Yu ordered his troops to retreat.

Relying on these walls can inflict huge damage to the Wuhuan people, but they are prepared, and the effect is definitely worse than that of the first day. There is no need for Zhang Yu to compete with them for this kind of equal consumption.

The Wuhuan began to attack violently, but Zhang Yu was only harassed by a few archers from time to time.

One day passed, and the Wuhuan people finally leveled all these damned walls.

The Wuhuan people rejoiced, and the city wall was exposed in front of their eyes.

It was already dark at this time, and in the darkness, they saw many wooden posts outside the city wall. Although the wooden posts were thick, they were wooden posts after all, and they were easy to break through.

But Zhang Yu saw from the bottom of the city that this was not just a wooden pile, there were many ditches behind the wooden pile.

This is the last barrier Zhang Yu prepared for the Wuhuan people, and this barrier is far more powerful than the previous two.

It took another day for the Wuhuan people to break down the wall.

They retreated, planning to return the next day.

On the top of the city, several generals were watching. They didn't fight in person today.

"My lord, can the barbed wire you mentioned below really block the Wuhuan people? Although the wire is quite thick and hard, it can still be cut with a knife." Dian Wei asked.

Zhang Yu didn't explain that in later generations, in the era of hot weapons, barbed wire played a major role in making it impossible for the enemy to break through.

But just adding barbed wire is useless, and Maxim is also needed.

With the Maxim machine gun and barbed wire, as long as the firepower is sufficient, it can block thousands of troops.

However, of course there is no Maxim machine gun in this era, so we can only arrange a large number of archers and let the archers be machine gunners.

These barbed wire fences are not ordinary barbed wire fences, they are covered with dense barbs.

If the horses rushed over, these barbs would pierce into their flesh, the pain would be to death, and they would lose their fighting power instantly.

Not only that, but Zhang Yu also arranged a large number of horse traps in front of him. If the enemy wants to break through, he doesn't know how much he will lose.

It was dawn again, and the spring wind was still very cold, but on the battlefield, the Wuhuan cavalry was ready to break through the city wall in front of them.

On the way of 20,000, Qiu Liju invested heavily,

He planned to attack the walls on all sides and break through the city in one fell swoop.

"kill."

Qiu Liju pulled out his scimitar and gave the order himself.

The scimitar gleamed coldly in the sun, the Wuhuan people issued orders layer by layer, and soon the cavalry began to charge.

"kill."

The shouts of killing rose loudly, and Wuhuan's cavalry began to charge forward.

There was a sound of hooves.

Soldiers wielding swords rushed towards the city wall. The scene was shocking and made people's blood boil.

Qiu Liju was very satisfied with the performance of their warriors, he wanted to see how the enemy was calmed down.

"Come on, let you see, this barbed wire fence is powerful." Zhang Yu's eyes turned cold on the top of the wall, and he shot out a cold light.

"kill."

When the Wuhuan people rushed to them, they ignored the wooden posts and barbed wire fences in front of them and rushed over.

"what."

"not good."

"Ah, it hurts like hell."

When the horses collided with each other, they didn't break the barbed wire as they expected. Instead, the horses fell down one by one, or ran about in pain.

Wuhuan's soldiers were hooked on their legs, and when they were pulled, pieces of flesh and blood came out, and they screamed in pain.

Wuhuan's army was in chaos, and the horses were injured, and the barbs penetrated into their flesh, causing great pain, which frightened them and did not dare to run forward.

"Let the arrows go."

Seeing the enemy come within range, the archers began to release their arrows.

When the Wuhuan people saw the enemy attacking with arrows, they also rushed to fight back.

But their formation was too chaotic, many horses were mixed together, more importantly, the front stopped, and the rear horses did not dodge in a hurry, and directly hit them.

After that, the army was in chaos.

At the same time, the injured horses in front ran back, then got blocked, and they began to string together.

The sudden chaos caused the speed of Wuhuan's army to slow down immediately, and it was impossible to attack forward at all.

The small wooden stakes, wrapped with barbed wire, were so powerful that the cavalry couldn't rush over them.

After a while of confusion, General Wuhuan hurried forward to command them to retreat.

After retreating, the scene was bloody, tens of meters of barbed wire was destroyed, and it was covered with blood.

Some war horses lying on the battlefield can be seen, covered in blood, and some parts are still bloody.

The Wuhuan people were hit hard again, but this time what they hit was not a wall, but a barbed wire fence.

"Well, the effect is good. It should be able to block them for a few days." Zhang Yu said happily when he saw the barbed wire on the top of the city.

Yes, this barbed wire works really well.

Qiu Liju's face was full of gloomyness, this time the plunder going south was so unsuccessful, and there were so many obstacles in attacking Shenyang City.

The previous two obstacles had already delayed him too much time, but this time the enemy had a new trick, so he had to retreat again.

When the Wuhuan people retreated, they were still frightened.

Hooked by the barbed wire, you won't die, you will only be bloody and bloody, and you will keep howling.

But this is more frightening than death.
