"It's the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu are here!"
Looking at the dense swarm of ants that were stirring up dust, Meng Tian was stunned at first. Then, she quickly recalled what was going on.
Because of the height restriction, it was very difficult to look down.
The originally majestic galloping of ten thousand horses had now become the home of ants.
"Don't worry, they can't attack us now!”
Meng Tian said confidently as she looked outside.
"Since when did a moat appear outside?”
Fu Su's eyes widened as he looked at the moat below the city wall and asked the two people beside him.
He clearly remembered that there shouldn't be any moat outside, but now there was a moat that was more than 50 meters wide. The river was turbulent, and the waves appeared at the edge of the grassland. It was so dazzling.
The moat did not stick to the Great Wall, but was a hundred meters away from the edge of the Great Wall.
There was a wooden bridge on the moat. This wooden bridge was completely closed by the internal control switch of the Great Wall, so once a battle broke out, the bridge would be closed in an extremely short period of time.
"This was built by Ye Xiu. He said he had nothing better to do anyway, so he dug a moat!”
Meng Tian quickly explained to Fu Su.
This moat was not an ordinary moat. There were many traps inside.
This river was formed by the rivers on the plains. It was gathered by the underground river that Ye Xiu had dug out. It flowed around the outer perimeter of the Great Wall, then flowed into the underground river back into the Great Wall. Finally, it gathered into a lake.
As someone who came later, Ye Xiu naturally knew the importance of water. He naturally couldn't just hand over water to someone else.
"Then what is the stone tablet outside the moat?”
Fu Su pointed at the stone tablet outside and asked curiously.
Originally, Fu Su thought that the things inside the Great Wall were enough to surprise him. However, he did not expect that the things outside would surprise him even more.
"That's the Boundary Stele, and within it is the territory of our Great Qin Empire. If any outsider brings troops over, it's equivalent to declaring war, and we can directly counterattack!”
Meng Tian explained to Fu Su again.
"Boundary Stele? Not bad, this was not bad. The Great Wall's purpose here was not only to defend, but also to intimidate them. It was also to announce to them that this was Great Qin's territory. This was not bad!”
Looking at the current state, Fu Su was very satisfied, especially the boundary stone that was erected hundreds of meters outside the moat.
Looking at the scenery at the foot of the Great Wall, Fu Su had even forgotten about the Xiongnu who were galloping fiercely under the Great Wall.
Right now, the Xiongnu were galloping on their horses. Tens of thousands of people were like headless flies, galloping across the grasslands and covering the Great Wall.
"F * ck, what's going on? When did such a long city wall appear? When did such a wide moat appear?”
Chief Duodun's face darkened. He roared angrily on his horse.
He was really furious now. It had only been a month, and such a huge change had been discovered on the grassland. What a joke.
No one was more familiar with the grasslands than the Xiongnu. They spent most of their lives on the grasslands.
However, they had only left the plains for a winter, and what awaited them was a world-shaking change.
At the edge of the grassland, a magnificent city wall had appeared at some point in time, blocking the path of their cavalry.
Not only that, but there was also a moat about 50 meters wide in front of the city wall, making it impossible for them to even get close to the city wall, let alone attack.
"What exactly did this group of Qin people do in one winter?”
A Xiongnu general shouted angrily.
They couldn't believe their eyes. Although they had heard that the Qin people had built the Great Wall on the grasslands, they had thought that it was a complete joke.
How vast was this grassland? What could you possibly build with that span of a thousand miles?
But look at the current situation!
The Great Wall towered in front of them, reaching into the clouds. They even had to raise their heads and look up if they wanted to see the top.
Not to mention the Great Wall Road, they could not even cross the moat in front of the Great Wall.
"God knows what they did. It's spring now, and we can't return to the grasslands.”
One of the Xiongnu generals began to roar in anger. His eyes widened in anger.
The Xiongnu relied on the grasslands for their livelihood. Now that spring had arrived, it was a good time for them to recuperate and attack the Central Plains. However, they were now blocked outside the grasslands.
This was a very dangerous signal. If they could not successfully enter the grasslands, it would be very dangerous for the Xiongnu.
"Find something to cross the river!"
Chief Duodun's face darkened. He looked at the people around him and sighed.
They had been running for three days, and their warhorses were already in a weak state. However, they still hadn't seen a gap in the Great Wall, nor had they found the place where the river was the slowest.
Chief Duodun knew very well that if they continued to waste energy like this, it would not be a very good thing for them.
Although he couldn't see what secrets were hidden within the Great Wall, he instinctively sensed a hint of danger.
He could even feel countless pairs of eyes staring at him from the Great Wall.
"Is everyone here?"
Inside the Great Wall, the soldiers quickly began to gather. Although there were only a few hundred of them, they were not worried about the Xiongnu outside at all. In their opinion, these few hundred people were enough.
The Tragic Xiongnu
"Report, everyone is here. We can attack at any time!”
There were only three hundred people in this small team. Although there were tens of thousands of Xiongnu people in front of them, they did not panic at all.
"General Meng Tian, please give the order to attack!”
Soon, the squad leader rushed to Meng Tian and said to her.
"Start attacking!"
Meng Tian nodded and said to these people.
"Yes, sir!"
After the squad leader received the order to attack, he quickly turned around and conveyed the order."Everyone, quickly get to your posts and prepare for battle!”
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, all the soldiers rushed down the stairs and began to prepare.
"We only have a few people, but the other party has hundreds of thousands of people. Can we defeat them?”
At this moment, Fu Su looked at the Xiongnu below and frowned.
Although the Xiongnu below were as dense as ants, this also meant that there were many of them.
Thinking of this, Fu Su began to worry.
Although they were in a defensive position, once they started fighting, how could their numbers be enough?
"Don't worry, we've already planned this out.”
However, Meng Tian was not anxious at all. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, allowing Fu Su to continue watching the battle.
"Team One, ready!"
At this moment, a voice came from the copper pipe beside Fu Su. The voice was amplified by the copper pipe, but everyone present could hear it clearly. the
"Team Two has reached the attack position and can start attacking at any time!”
Immediately after, the teams reported their current location and indicated that they could attack at any time.
Looking at the brass horn, Fu Su's eyes widened. He could not believe that this thing could amplify the sound to such an extent.
"All teams, attack freely and try your best to cripple these Xiongnu!”
The captain quickly gave the order to attack through the megaphone and waited for them to attack.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, someone replied.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, the sound of countless rushing wind entered the ears of Fu Su and the others.
Following the sound, Fu Su and the others were shocked to find that countless arrows were flying towards the Xiongnu on the other side of the river.
There were at least ten thousand arrows!
The dense arrows covered the clouds and the sun, flying towards the Xiongnu on the other side of the river like a storm.
Swoosh!
Before Fu Su could utter a sound of surprise, countless bows and arrows flew out once again and attacked the Xiongnu.
There were a lot of arrows, and they were very fast. After completing a perfect parabola in the air, they fell directly towards the Xiongnu.
"What, what is this?"
Seeing this scene, Fu Su looked at Meng Tian in shock and asked," Is this a commotion caused by 300 people?"
Even if tens of thousands of archers fired arrows at the same time, it might not have such a good effect!
"This is the effect of the mechanical device. This thing is placed on the eighth floor. It's not high nor low. It can attack a specific area on the other side of the river. Even if the enemy was wearing heavy armor and holding an iron shield, it was impossible for them to block the incoming arrows!”
Meng Tian said confidently.
Because the 80s and 90s of the Great Wall were the highest, Ye Xiu had set up many traps at this position. Only a few people were needed to attack the same area as tens of thousands of people.
With this perfect system, the current Great Wall could be said to be a one-man pass that could not be opened by 10,000 people.
In fact, Meng Tian was a little excited about the Xiongnu's visit today. She could finally test out the defensive capabilities of the Great Wall.
"I see!"
Seeing this, Fu Su nodded his head in shock. If such an effective attack was used in a head-on battle, it would probably be able to quickly change the situation.
"Dammit, these Qin people are ambushing us! Raise your shields and defend!”
Chief Duodun's face darkened when he saw the arrow rain that filled the sky. Soon, he shouted at the people beside him.
He knew very well how terrifying it was for them to have so many arrows raining down.
"As expected, this group of Qin people has long discovered us. Everyone, be careful!”
Soon, the rest of the Xiongnu leaders gritted their teeth and began to scold and beat.
This group of Qin people was truly detestable. They had built such a Great Wall, yet he was hiding inside and attacking. He even blocked them outside the Great Wall. It was truly too detestable.
At the thought of this, everyone's expression changed.
Clang, clang, clang!
"Ah, ah, ah!"
The Xiongnu raised their iron shields in unison to block the arrows coming at them.
This iron shield was the treasure of the Xiongnu people. It was extremely hard, and resisting arrows was not a problem for it.
However, today, the people who were holding iron shields at the front did not stop the arrows that were coming at them as they wished.
Instead, the arrows pierced through their iron shields, then pierced into their bodies or heads, and finally flew into the ground and pierced into the soil.
To these arrows, this land was their home. Taking the lives of these Xiongnu people was just an insignificant interlude to them.
"Are you kidding me? Our iron shields can't even defend against it?”
Seeing this, the faces of the Xiongnu soldiers darkened. They couldn't believe their eyes. They were unable to resist this rain of arrows and could only be attacked?
