Chapter 85: The Huns attack the city, the decision of veteran general Wang He!!!
Inside Shanyin City, many soldiers were extremely alert. Their scalps instantly went numb when they saw the dark army below the city.

This time the Huns were really willing to spend a lot of money, sending out so many people at the forefront, all of them were big and strong, with broad backs and strong muscles.

The dark clouds in the sky highlighted the strength of the Huns. The new recruits on both sides, who had never experienced war, could not help but tremble.

This war is destined to be a one-sided massacre; it is only a matter of time.

The leader of the vanguard was named Ashina, a powerful general under the Xiongnu leader. Countless people from the Central Plains died at the hands of the Xiongnu.

As the Chanyu's most loyal dog, he often hits wherever he is told, without any regard for others.

The most famous case was that one man massacred an entire city. At that time, there was thunder and lightning in the sky, and even God could not bear to see the other party's brutal behavior.

The situation was tense and the confrontation continued.

Following Ashina's order, many Hun soldiers began to attack Shanyin City.

Shanyin City is a border fortress and a key gateway to the Qin Dynasty. If it were really occupied by the Huns, they would massacre countless civilians.

"A million Hun troops, humph, you really think highly of me."

"Rolling logs, rocks, gold juice, whatever you have, bring them all. Today I, Wang He, want to see how capable those barbarians are."

"Comrades, we have relatives, friends, wives, children and elders behind us. If you are afraid, you can leave now and we will never hold you accountable."

"If you are a man with a gun, hold on. Reinforcements will be here soon."

Wang He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the messenger could pass on the message and ask Xianyang City to send reinforcements as soon as possible so that Shanyin City would not fall.

This was a place that had to be fought for. Every time the Huns captured Shanyin, they would begin to burn, kill and loot without restraint.

This is war, either you die or I die.

In less than half a day, the Huns launched more than twenty attacks, and the situation was not optimistic.

What's worse is that Wang He sent out a disguised suicide squad to assassinate the enemy general, but after half a day there was no news at all.

When they counted the casualties at night, they found that the losses were particularly heavy. Of the 30,000 brave and battle-hardened imperial soldiers, only more than 10,000 were left.

The Huns were physically stronger than the people in the Central Plains, and they crushed them in both numbers and momentum.

This time the Huns were really willing to spend a lot of money. Many of the barbarians had probably never been seen before. They must have united various tribes and wanted to deal a fatal blow to the empire.

If this is the case, I will not be able to do as you wish. I will close the city gates and forbid anyone from going out to meet the enemy.

After three days and three nights of fierce attack, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers left in the city, and the atmosphere became tense.

It was very sad to see the comrade who was chatting and laughing a few days ago turned into a cold corpse.

In order to prevent surprise attacks from the Huns, they lived in fear and had little fighting power left.

The sun slowly rose, and Wang He knew that the Huns were destined to be completely defeated today. What he didn't expect was that those guys had no bottom line at all.

A few days ago, members of the Death Squad, dressed in disguise, were tied up and appeared in front of the Hun army.

Ashina rubbed his covered right face with his hand, feeling extremely resentful and really wanting to cut these two-legged sheep into pieces.

The city had not been captured in three days, and 30,000 troops had been lost in vain, which made the Chanyu a little angry.

I have specifically warned you, "Before sunset, if the city is yours, you will die, and if the city is destroyed, you will live."

Looking at the sparse two-legged sheep on the city wall, Ashina decided to try something new with them.

Like the Great Chanyu, do you like to see the frightened and begging expressions of two-legged sheep?

Killing someone requires a sense of ritual. I have no interest in such a simple and crude method as just killing them with one knife.

The double torture of body and soul was definitely a heavy blow to these guys who abide by ethics and morality.

He shouted loudly towards the city.

"The two-legged sheep inside, I'll give you one stick of incense to think about it. Open the door and surrender, and you can save your life."

"If you continue to be so stubborn, you will be massacred." "There are more than 20 people here. It's a pity to kill them. They are all good people who sacrificed their lives for the country. No, the word should be heroes."

Wang He had been dealing with the Huns all his life, so surrender was simply out of the question.

Even if they surrendered, the final outcome would be similar, destined to be a one-sided massacre.

The Huns never kept their promises. They would fight if they could win, and would be afraid if they couldn't. When they became strong enough, they would invade again. They were definitely ruthless.

Wang He had never been insulted like this before, so he was determined to teach the other party a lesson.

"Bring me the bow!"

The soldier took a longbow, and with a whoosh, the arrow flew past Ashina's ear.

Everyone secretly sighed that it was a pity, as the death of the enemy general would lead to chaos.

Ashina touched his left ear and looked at the red liquid in his hand with an excited expression.

It was blood. It had been a long time since anyone had been able to make themselves bleed.

He grabbed a soldier and chopped off his hands and feet, causing screams of intense pain to echo through the air.

When the Huns saw the pain in the sheep's legs, they all rubbed their hands and wanted to give it a try.

While greeting Ashina's ancestors, the soldier died of excessive blood loss.

In order to let the people in the city see the price of continued resistance, they chopped off the heads and let a few soldiers kick them back and forth like a ball.

This scene made the battle-hardened Wang He clench his fists, his eyes bloodshot.

The soldiers nearby volunteered to fight, determined to make these people pay for their blood debt with blood.

"General, let's fight. These barbarians are clearly humiliating us."

"Yes, General. It doesn't matter if you die early or late. It's better to kill a few more people before you die. This will make your life worthwhile."

Seeing that everyone was getting emotional, Wang He immediately started scolding them.

"As long as the city is there, we still have hope. If we really fall into the enemy's trap, how serious the consequences will be? Have you considered it?"

"Don't be so impulsive. Go and guard the gates and walls."

"There is a plain behind us. If the Huns enter, the plain will be flat and the empire will suffer a devastating disaster."

Wang He understood very well the feelings of these brothers who had been through life and death together, but the situation was special and they could not act rashly or let anger get the better of them.

Two thousand men against the Hun army were not enough to fill the enemy's teeth.

"General, look."

As everyone looked on, they saw that the members of the death squad were torn into pieces and eaten by the wolves nearby.

"Born, born, damn born."

Ashina didn't expect that even after being forced into this situation, the other side still didn't dare to come out of the city to fight, and the sun was about to set.

He immediately ordered his troops to launch a general attack, but they were a bunch of cowards who were afraid of death.

Wang He looked at the Huns' offensive and knew that this time the situation was disastrous, so he immediately ordered his troops to defend the city to the death.

"Clang~"

The city gates were breached and destruction was inevitable.

Wang He faced the people of Daqin in silence, closed his eyes and prepared to commit suicide when a familiar voice was heard.

"Old General, the fun has just begun, why are you in such a hurry?"
