Chapter 1485

Thud!

The drawbridge of the moat landed on the ground, making a muffled sound.

Accompanied by a creaking sound, the city gate on the north side of Mayi County slowly opened.

Yufuluo stood on his horse in the city gate tunnel and winked at the personal guards on both sides.

In the city gate tunnel, besides the personal guards led by Yufuluo, there were also more than twenty Han army soldiers.

When the city gate was completely opened, Yufuluo, who was riding on his horse, instantly drew the curved saber at his waist and shouted in the Xiongnu language: "Do it!"

Following Yufuluo's order, the personal guards who had already been prepared instantly drew their sabers and then hacked at the Han soldiers guarding the gate on the left and right without hesitation.

In an instant, the unprepared Han soldiers were hacked down into a pool of blood one after another, crying out in pain.

On the city wall, Li Qun's face changed drastically after hearing the sound from under the city gate.

"Not good, the Xiongnu have a trick. Raise the drawbridge, raise the drawbridge, follow me down the city to close the city gate."

Li Qun drew the horizontal saber at his waist and was the first to charge toward the direction of the city gate with his personal guards.

A large number of Han soldiers behind him, holding torches, also hurriedly followed down the city.

And the soldiers who remained on the city wall to control the winch of the moat drawbridge turned the winch with all their might.

At the edge of the moat outside the city, Tuoba Liwei took off the hat he was wearing, revealing his bald head, which was shiny under the illumination of the torches.

"Jam the chain, get on the warhorse."

The Xianbei soldiers who had been prepared behind him immediately used the long spears in their hands to nail the rotating chain to the ground, and then hung the prepared iron hooks on the chain.

After the iron hooks caught and pulled the chain of the moat, the Xianbei soldiers immediately drew their daggers and stabbed hard at the hindquarters of the warhorses.

The warhorses, in pain, neighed and ran wildly, instantly pulling the chain straight.

And on the city wall, the soldiers who had been turning the winch with all their might instantly felt a huge force strike, and the winch began to reverse uncontrollably.

Under the city wall.

When Li Qun led his soldiers down the city, they immediately charged toward the direction of the city gate tunnel.

And what greeted Li Qun was a rain of arrows.

One row squatting, one row standing straight, the Xiongnu soldiers drew their bows and arrows. At such a close distance, the powerful force pulling the bowstrings and the long arrows shot out instantly pierced the chests of several Han soldiers.

"Raise shields, raise shields, push up, take back the city gate!" Li Qun roared with all his might.

It was fortunate that Li Qun was wearing full armor, otherwise, he might have been shot dead by this sudden rain of arrows.

Whoosh.

An arrow with the sound of breaking wind headed straight for Li Qun's face.

Yufuluo, sitting on his horse, still maintained a posture of drawing his bow and arrow.

Relying on his instinctive reaction, Li Qun, who had no shield in his hand, directly raised his arm to block his face.

Pfft!

The sharp arrow pierced through Li Qun's arm, only a finger's distance away from hitting his face.

If this arrow had hit, he would have died without a doubt.

Li Qun, gritting his teeth after the pain, could not care about the injury on his hand.

He continued to raise his arm to block his face and charged forward.

The sword and shield soldiers behind him also began to push forward with the round shields in their hands.

Take the gate.

The most urgent thing right now was to take back the city gate quickly.

"Forward, forward, forward." Li Qun roared loudly while pushing forward.

The border soldiers of Bingzhou behind him also charged forward without fear of death.

Rumble!

Outside the city gate tunnel, the warhorses stepping on the wooden moat drawbridge made a sound like muffled thunder.

Yufuluo moved aside from the position blocking the city gate tunnel.

The Xiongnu archers in front also quickly retreated to both sides.

The burly Tuoba Liwei, wearing armor and holding a curved saber, charged toward the oncoming Li Qun with a grin on his face.

Seeing that the cavalry had already charged to close range.

Li Qun's face was shocked.

Although he wanted to dodge, there was nowhere to hide in the narrow city gate tunnel.

He could only use his flesh and blood to resist the impact of Tuoba Liwei's warhorse.

"Han army... fearless!"

Li Qun roared and slashed the horizontal saber in his hand at the charging warhorse.

Bang!

The powerful impact instantly knocked Li Qun flying.

One could almost hear the groan of broken bones in his body. In the air, Li Qun, whose eyes were full of urgency, anger, and unwillingness, spat out blood mixed with internal organs from his mouth.

Then he fell heavily to the ground.

Hundreds of warhorses rumbled past.

"Kill!"

Tuoba Liwei, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes, charged into the crowd.

Far away outside the city.

Budugen, seeing that the fierce battle at the North City had already ignited, slowly drew the sword at his waist and pointed it toward the direction of Mayi City.

Guo Tu, wearing a black scholar's robe, followed by his side.

"Charge in!"

Budugen gave an order, and the 20,000 cavalry behind him, holding torches, pressed toward the North City of Mayi City like a moving sea of fire.

The Han soldiers on the North City wall of Mayi City widened their eyes when they saw this scene.

Despair had already appeared on their faces.

Because further away, the soldiers on the North City saw an even larger cloud of fire, spreading in a continuous sheet like the red clouds before sunset, almost completely lighting up the ink-dyed night sky.

It's over.

The city gate has fallen.

Everything is over.
