The collapse of Jiuyuan City's wall was not just a small section, but almost the entire southern wall collapsed.

Six days of continuous attacks by the Wei army's catapults had already made the city wall overwhelmed and scarred. Although the Huns were constantly repairing it every night, what they could repair was only the outer structure of the city wall. In fact, the inner structure of the city wall was

The structure has been shaken by continuous shock waves.

And the last stone bullet that hit the city wall acted as the straw that broke the camel's back. The partial collapse caused a chain reaction, and the entire city wall collapsed suddenly.

All the Huns stared dumbly at the city wall that no longer existed, and were astonished beyond words.

At this moment, Jiuyuan City was like a woman who had been stripped naked, standing naked in front of people.

Cao Liang's expression was very calm. Wei Jun had almost exhausted all the stone bullets, and finally he saw the result he wanted.

If they only opened a hole, the Huns could still block it with their superior strength, but the entire city wall no longer existed, and the Huns could no longer stop the Wei army's attack no matter what.

The Yueqi Battalion and the Tunqi Battalion launched the attack first. They attacked Jiuyuan City from both wings, leaving the center of the attack open to the infantry units.

Three infantry battalions also launched operations at the same time, but compared to the two cavalry battalions, their attack speed was definitely slower.

The catapults did not stop attacking because of the collapse of the city wall. Instead, they intensified their attack and continued to attack the Huns gathered in the city.

After losing the defensive ability of the city wall, the Xiongnu army had to form a formation to meet the Wei army's attack, but the blow of the catapult was unbearable for them, because these stone bullets could not be resisted by any defensive means.

Even if it is not safe to hide inside the house, the stone bullet will still break the roof.

Nowadays, the catapults of the Wei army are basically aimed at attacking the Huns' troops. They specifically hit those areas where there are many people. Often a single stone bomb can cause many casualties to the Huns.

In fact, the attack of the catapult is more of a psychological level. Even if each stone bomb kills one person on average, that round of attack will only cause dozens of casualties at most. For a Xiongnu team of tens of thousands

In fact, these casualties are negligible.

However, the shadow that this caused in the hearts of the Huns was extremely huge. They had to look at the sky with fear, always on guard against whether there would be stone bullets falling from the sky and hitting their heads.

The greater role of the catapult is to constantly destroy the Huns' formation. As soon as the Huns gather, the stone bullets will be smashed in that direction. In this way, in order to avoid the blow, the Huns can only keep evacuating and dodging.

, naturally it is no longer possible to maintain the corresponding combat formation.

At this moment, the Wei army pressed forward with all its strength and rushed into Jiuyuan City.

In order to avoid accidentally damaging their own troops, the catapults finally stopped attacking and handed over the battlefield to the cavalry and infantry units.

All the soldiers of the Pingbei Army who had been waiting for six days were now full of high morale and blood boiling. Like tigers emerging from the forest, they rushed towards Jiuyuan City like a tidal wave.

At this moment, Jiuyuan City could not be called a city at all. The sudden collapse of the southern city wall allowed the Pingbei Army to invade the city unimpeded. This was probably the easiest siege operation in history.

The Huns were completely terrified and had no fighting spirit. Even though their number of soldiers and horses was superior to that of the Wei army, from the moment the city wall collapsed, everyone was filled with fear and despair in their hearts.

diffuse.

When they originally retreated to Jiuyuan, the Huns were still united. Several troops united and vowed to defend the last territory of the Huns. However, with the civil strife of the Huns and Liu Teng's death, the Huns' fighting spirit gathered together.

It disintegrated unconsciously.

Even the remaining three Huns are wary of each other, fearing that they will be swallowed up by their opponents if they are not careful.

Especially between Liu Bao and Liu Meng, there was originally suspicion. After this incident, the suspicion became stronger. They were wary of each other and no longer had any trust.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to gather fighting power.

Facing the Wei army's attack, the first to flee were the northern Xiongnu troops. Although after Liu Teng's death, most of the northern Xiongnu tribes chose to surrender and were annexed by the other three tribes, their organization was still relatively intact.

They had always been worried about Liu Teng's death. When Jiuyuan City fell, they were definitely not willing to sacrifice their lives for other Xiongnu tribes, so they took the lead in fleeing.

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant nest. It was precisely because of the flight of these northern Huns soldiers that the large army of Huns in the city began to collapse.

Not wanting to fight has become the thought of most Xiongnu soldiers. Since the Wei army used a force-attack method when attacking the city, the Huns had no pressure to escape. They only had to open the city gates on the north, east and west to escape.

Oh my god.

Liu Meng originally had some thoughts on organizing an army to resist, but after he issued the order, he found that there were very few soldiers and horses to follow the order. Only when he sent people to look for Liu Bao and Liu Jiao again did they find Liu Bao.

Liu Jiao has long since disappeared.

This made Liu Meng so angry that he cursed loudly. At the critical moment, these two guys were afraid of death and took the lead in escaping.

The cavalry of the Wei army had already taken the lead to attack and fought with the Xiongnu soldiers. However, the Xiongnu soldiers could not withstand the attack of the Wei army at all, and they were defeated one after another and became a mess.

Liu Meng knew that his defeat was certain and there was nothing he could do to save it. Seeing that the Wei army was already approaching, he had no choice but to lead his army back toward the north gate, hoping to escape from there.

At this moment, Jiuyuan City was already in chaos. Huns soldiers fleeing in three directions crowded every street, blocking all roads, trampling on each other, and causing countless casualties.

The main reason is naturally that each city gate is relatively small. Under normal circumstances, passage is not a problem, but in such a chaotic situation at the moment, everyone is rushing to get out of the city, and congestion is naturally inevitable.

of.

All three city gates were overcrowded. When Liu Meng rushed to the north gate, there was a huge crowd in front of him. It was densely packed with people. Under such circumstances, it would be harder to leave the city than to reach the sky.
