Chapter 523: The Battle Begins
Outside Wenyang City, Dong Zhuo's army arrived earlier than expected, and at this time, the mighty army was less than twenty miles away from Wenyang City.
"Seal all the ways out of Wenyang before and after, and no one in Wenyang City is allowed to leave." Fan Chou looked at Wenyang City from afar and shouted loudly, Wenyang City is surrounded by mountains, and there are only two roads in front and back, and it is very easy to fence it off.
And Dong Zhuojun this time in order to capture Wenyang, a lot of exercises, just catapults there are more than 50 catapults, ten siege crossbows, where is this armament to attack a small county, conquer a county is no problem.
"Today we are going to wash Wenyang City in blood, raise the prestige of our army, and all the soldiers will listen to the order, we will completely raze Wenyang City to the ground within an hour." Fan Chou was in front of the army and shouted loudly with pride.
"Raise the prestige of our army! Raise the prestige of our army! After conquering Wenyang City, they will wave their army to the east, and Lu Bu's army will encircle and suppress the coalition army, so that those thieves will know the way and resist.
Just when the morale of the soldiers was at its highest, several generals and lieutenants in the front row of the army suddenly flew backwards, leaving the horseback, and the blood was instantly wild, everyone was shocked, but the sharp-eyed people saw a powerful arrow directly through the heads of those people.
"Whoosh-"
At this time, a sound of breaking the sky reached their ears, too fast, and there was no time to react.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! A soldier cried out in a terrible voice, and his heart trembled, for he was standing at the forefront, and where the arrows had come from. From what direction, he didn't see it at all, it was too fast, he had never seen such a fast arrow, an invisible arrow, even if he wanted to, he couldn't dodge.
"Whoosh-"
Then there was another soft sound in his ears, this time he was not afraid, there was only a sense of despair, he could clearly see the large hole in the neck of a general directly in front of him, and the arrow pierced through. He was also implicated in the rear. The armor on his body was useless at all, all of it was shattered, and only a deep hole was left in his chest, so he was unwilling. He hasn't done anything yet. His dream of being a general. With this invisible arrow, it completely vanished.
"Heavy shield defense, everyone forms a defensive battle form." Fan Chou shouted. But he was very angry in his heart, he had long expected that there would be buried soldiers on the front mountain, after all, the only entrance was a huge canyon, if there were no ambushes, the people of Wenyang City would be really stupid.
But where they are located, there is still a distance of nearly two miles in the canyon, which is definitely a safe distance, no one can attack at such a distance, but now the ruthless reality has broken his thoughts, just in an instant, they lost more than ten lieutenants, damn, those people are really good at picking, and one hundred percent, such a long distance, how did they do it? Could it be that there are so many archers in Wenyang City?
The heavy shield soldiers quickly assembled, located in front of the army, a general shouted lightly, and directly launched the battle formation, and in an instant, the momentum of the entire heavy shield battalion became different, like a copper wall and iron wall, which could not be crossed.
Seeing the heavy shield soldiers forming a formation, Fan Chou shouted towards the mountains in the distance: "Wenyang bandits, listen, if they are willing to surrender, they can save their lives, if they resist, when the city is broken, they will be slaughtered in Wenyang——"
As soon as Fan Chou's words fell, he faintly saw a flash of light on the top of the mountain in front of him, Fan Chou's heart tightened, and he quickly rose up and rushed straight into the sky, at this moment, he saw a ray of light quickly passing through the place where he was just now.
"Ahh
Siege crossbows? It is not more powerful than a siege crossbow, and it is even faster, Fan Chou, who jumped into the air, was shocked, he didn't expect Wenyang City to have such a powerful weapon.
"The catapult is ready, throw flint stones to the top of the mountain, and I want to burn Wenyang." Fan Chouren shouted in mid-air, his heart is full of anger now, he is here to attack Wenyang City, who knows that before Lu Dao arrives in front of the city, he let people give a dismount.
"Sneer—"
There were a few more soft sounds, and the heavy shield soldier who was blocking the front suddenly flew upside down, and the huge and heavy shield shattered directly, and the heavy shield soldier did not receive penetrating damage, but the powerful shock wave instantly shattered his heart.
At this time, the giant catapult played a role, in the violent sound, a piece of boulder with flames shot straight ahead, but as soon as those flame boulders flew up, they exploded instantly, and then the whistling made people understand, the flying stones were shot by arrows, more than fifty flaming boulders exploded in the air, and the sky instantly rained with flints, hundreds of people were smashed, and some people were even burned to death. For a while, there was some confusion in the military formation.
"Damn it!" Fan Chou's eyes seemed to kill someone, where did Wenyang City get so many archers? Even the flying flints can be easily hit, more than fifty flints, not a single one is missing, such an archer, even if the entire Dong Zhuojun can't find much.
"Zhang Xiu, you take eight hundred elites and go up the mountain to clear the ambushers." Fan Chou's eyes were on fire, and he said directly to the young general on the side. Although Zhang Xiu is not too old, a spear makes him superb, and even Li Dao does not dare to fight hard, so Fan Chou handed over this important task to him.
"The last general commands." Zhang Xiu agreed directly, and selected eight hundred elites and rushed towards the mountain wall.
Fan Chou looked at Wenyang City in the canyon from afar, and sighed secretly, for a moment of melancholy, and he didn't know what he was sighing about.
"The whole army retreated a mile back." Fan Chou directly gave an order, here, they really don't have an advantage, they don't have a strong bow like Wenyang City, it is impossible to shoot to the opposite mountain, and they don't dare to approach, for fear that there will be an ambush, so before Zhang Xiu disperses the ambush, he can only endure.
At this time, Lin Yixuan was standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Fan Chou, when Fan Chou's army was still fifty miles away from Wenyang, they had already gone out of the customs and began to make defensive arrangements, and Lin Yixuan didn't want to be in Wenyang City on the battlefield, so he directly blocked it outside the city.
However, his brows were furrowed at this time, I have to say that this time he did underestimate Dong Zhuo's determination to destroy Wen Yang, the number of generals this time is really a lot, and here is only half of the soldiers and horses, damn it, Dong Zhuo is crazy? Attacking Wenyang actually sent so many generals.
"My lord, Zhang Xiu is here to attack the mountain." Li Jian suddenly ran in front of Lin Yixuan, his face a little solemn.
"How strong is Zhang Xiu?" Lin Yixuan frowned and asked, Zhang Xiu also knows Lu Dao, especially some legends, the Gun King of the Northland, the gun skills are unparalleled, and I don't know how Zhang Xiu is in the world of Lu Dao.
"Very strong, although I am not very old, but I have seen it a few times, it is really strong, even Li Dao does not dare to shake it." Li Jian frowned and said that his status in Dong Zhuojun was not high, but he had also heard some legends of Zhang Xiu.
It's another hard stubble, fortunately, in the past three months, they have not been in vain, although the three months are not long, but they are not short, so that Wenyang City has a certain combat power.
"Gao Yu." Lin Yixuan said lightly.
"Yes." The figure next to Lin Yixuan flashed, and Gao Yu appeared next to Lin Yixuan out of thin air.
"You take a few people to stop Zhang Xiu." Lin Yixuan commanded.
"Yes." Gao Yu said with a calm face, and then disappeared directly in front of Lin Yixuan.
Li Yan looked at Gao Yu, who had a strange figure, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes.
And Zhang Xiu rushed to the mountain excitedly at this time, this is his real first battle, he has been in the army for a long time, but he has never experienced a big war, this battle, let him take the first credit.
"Ahh
Before they could react, screams came one after another, and dozens of people died tragically, these Zhang Xiu could see it clearly, there was no trace, and blood suddenly gushed out on the soldier's neck, what is it? Zhang Xiu was horrified.
Just for a while, half of the eight hundred elites went, everything was silent, it was clear that the sky was clear, but it made everyone's hearts chill, they were not afraid of powerful enemies, but they were afraid of unknown enemies, people's fear of the unknown was indelible.
"Damn, a hundred birds and a phoenix!" Zhang Xiu watched more and more of his subordinates dying, and couldn't help but be furious, with a spear in his hand, the violent battle spirit came out bravely, turning into a hundred birds in the sky, and a hundred birds turned into phoenixes, and bombarded wildly around.
Lin Yixuan, who was watching the battle on the mountain, stared at him, Zhang Xiu actually knew how to fight? You must know that the general of Lu Dao needs to go through countless battles before he can comprehend the battle qi, but this Zhang Xiu actually comprehended the war qi without the fire of war, it seems that Zhang Xiu really can't be underestimated.
"Withdraw!" Gao Yu, who was in the stealth, snorted lightly, so the people who participated in the assassination quickly retreated, and the phoenix and hundred birds bombarded the ground, plowing the entire ground, and the battle spirit was really domineering, and the mountains and rocks on the entire ground were directly powdered.
Gao Yu was secretly speechless in the dark, fortunately he withdrew quickly just now, otherwise the blow just now would have been enough to seriously injure them.
Zhang Xiu saw that after the blow, there were no casualties, and he directly led people to rush to the mountain again, but it was only a moment, and someone was assassinated, Zhang Xiu's heart was cold, he didn't expect this mission to be so dangerous, he didn't reach the top of the mountain, he lost half of the soldiers first, damn it, what kind of weird attack is this, I can't even see it.
"Shameless villain, what kind of hero is he who comes out to fight me, hiding his head and showing his tail?" Zhang Xiu shouted angrily.
"I'm not a hero, and I don't care about heroes on the battlefield." Gao Yu's sneer came from afar.
And Zhang Xiu's eyes were cold, and he stabbed straight away, and the hundred birds struck directly with a strong battle aura, which was the place where Gao Yu spoke just now.
However, as soon as he made a move, he felt a strong sense of crisis coming from behind him, and he hurriedly gave up the attack and dodged directly.
But it was still a step too late, a sharp cold came from behind, the armor on the back instantly cracked, and a shallow wound appeared directly on the back, and at the same time, Gao Yu's voice appeared: "Where are you fighting?" (To be continued......)
