Chapter 978: [Bitter Battle]
"Whoosh ......"
The sound of countless arrows breaking through the air came from a high place, and then sharply penetrated into the shield of the Chinese soldiers, the arrows passed through the shield, and continued to fly forward, the force did not decrease, some shot straight into the ground, some shot into the arm of the shield bearer, an arrow pierced the entire arm, and some pierced directly into the human body......
"Wow......"
A scream kept coming, Zhou Cang's arm was shot through the arrow and penetrated the forearm of his left arm, he didn't shout, and he didn't dare to pull it out easily, seeing that his subordinates were killed under the two waves of arrows, he immediately shouted: "Retreat!" Retreat! ”
The remaining more than 800 wounded soldiers ran backwards one after another, but the Wei army's arrows were still shooting, this time, it was changed to ordinary arrows, attacking and killing the defeated army from behind, and the range of the arrows was also far away, some people were hit by arrows in the legs, arms and arms, and some even were hit by arrows in the neck, more than 800 people, and only more than 200 people really escaped.
As soon as he ran out of range, Zhou Cang and the others seemed to be tired and collapsed, and they threw themselves on the ground, Zhou Cang's legs were hit by two arrows, he ran back in pain, if he took a step slower, he was afraid that his life would be gone. He turned over and saw the scattered dead subordinates in front of him, and his heart was very sad.
At this time, Xu Huang, Guo Jia, Liao Hua, and Lin Yang all came around, and saw that Zhou Cang and the others were all injured, and the injuries were still very serious, Xu Huang immediately shouted: "Military doctor!" Military! Call the Medic! ”
Zhou Cang handed over a feather arrow in his hand to Xu Huang, and said bitterly: "General Xu, the Wei army has a sharp weapon, and we are all injured by this kind of arrow......
A group of military doctors immediately rushed over from behind, and with the help of the soldiers, they carried the wounded people to a temporary place in the back. Prepare for healing.
Xu Huang took the arrow and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of anger. said hatefully: "Cao Ren, I, Xu Gongming, swear to take your dog's head." Honor the soldiers you shot! ”
Guo Jia frowned, seeing that the arrow was so sharp, it was able to penetrate the steel armor, it was really incredible. He glanced at Cao Ren on the city wall, and when he saw that their faces were full of spring breeze, he said to Xu Huang: "General Xu, it seems that Cao Ren has been prepared for a long time. In recent years, the Wei State has also developed a lot, after integrating with the Qiang people. The military strength has increased greatly, and it seems that this arrow was specially developed by the Wei army to deal with us. If something so sharp can penetrate our armor, then our defensive armor is equivalent to a decoration in front of the enemy, and it will not play any role at all. Charge, stop for now, let me figure out how to overcome this level with the least casualties. ”
Xu Huang saw that he couldn't fight hard. So he had no choice but to nod, turned around and went to comfort the injured soldiers, and asked Liao Hua to lead the soldiers to retrieve the corpses that could be brought back.
On the walls of Huayin City. Cao Ren was happy in his heart, held the armor cone tightly, and shouted to his subordinates: "The Huaxia army is just relying on the advantage of armor, now that we have the weapons to deal with the Huaxia army, don't worry about it anymore, give me motivation, as long as the Huaxia army is not allowed to get close to the city wall, our army will be invincible!" ”
On Huayin City, the Wei army was in full array. The new weapon armor-piercing cone shows divine might, which makes the Huaxia army feel uneasy.
Outside Huayin City. Xu Huang, the chief general of the Kwantung Army of the Huaxia Kingdom, was groping for the armor-piercing cone, and saw that the armor-penetrating cone was in a triangular shape. It's extremely sharp, and even at night, it exudes a chill.
"Fetch my big bow!" Xu Huang didn't believe in this evil, so he asked people to take his big bow, ready to test the power of this armor-piercing cone himself.
His subordinates presented Xu Huang's big bow, and Xu Huang ordered someone to place a shield and a pair of steel armor a hundred steps away, insert a torch, and draw a bow and arrow, and put on an armor-piercing cone. A string was heard, and the armor cone sped out, shooting towards the shield and steel armor a hundred paces away.
Xu Huang used all his strength for this arrow, he wanted to see how powerful this so-called armor-piercing cone could be, and it actually beat his soldiers like lost dogs.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow was fired, and the armor cone flew directly to a hundred paces away, and an arrow hit the shield and battle armor, the sharp edges and corners of the armor cone penetrated the shield made of thin steel, and then pierced into the steel armor about ten centimeters away from the shield, and the arrow penetrated the steel armor, still revealing a few inches.
Xu Huang has the skill of piercing Yang in 100 steps, but, as everyone knows, Xu Huang is not showing his archery skills, but trying the power of the armor-piercing cone.
After a while, the soldiers who were a hundred paces away ran over with shields and battle armor and handed the things into Xu Huang's hands, and after Xu Huang saw it, his brows furrowed. Because, the armor-piercing cone completely penetrated the shield, and then penetrated the front steel plate of the steel armor, and the arrow was still a few inches exposed.
"I really didn't expect that the weapons of the Wei State would be so sharp......" Guo Jia said with a sigh after seeing it.
"Although the armor piercing cone is sharp, but the whole body is made of stainless steel, and it is heavy to start, even if you use a bow to shoot, an archer who does not have a certain arm strength cannot use it, it seems that Cao Ren has indeed trained an archer who is good at archery." Xu Huang turned his head and glanced at the archers on Huayin City, under the reflection of the lights, those archers were all strong, and everyone's eyes were so deep and full of murderous intent.
"Take another armor-piercing cone, use a double shield, and a pair of armor, still a hundred paces away, leaving a slight gap between the shield and the shield, so as to increase the resistance of the arrows." Xu Huang said sharply.
"No!"
Later, Xu Huang used the collected armor-piercing cones to demonstrate to varying degrees, when the two shields were set together and a pair of armor was placed behind them, although the armor-piercing cone passed through the two shields, but it was not completely penetrated, and the back of the arrow body was embedded between the two shields, revealing only a sharp arrow.
Later, Xu Huang used eighty steps, fifty steps, and twenty steps to do different degrees of experiments, and found that the armor cone was the most powerful at fifty steps, and even through two shields, it could shoot into the steel armor, and at twenty steps, due to the disappearance of distance and his arm strength, the power of the armor penetration cone gradually disappeared a little.
It's just that Xu Huang knows that this is his personal reason, for this. He specially summoned one of the sharpshooters in the army and asked him to shoot arrows instead of himself, standing twenty paces away and shooting three arrows in a row.
Outcome. The three arrows were so powerful that they all pierced the first shield. The tail of the arrow remained on the second shield, and the arrow pierced into the steel armor, revealing the sharp arrowhead.
After Xu Huang looked at it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tightly locked brows slowly relaxed.
Seeing this, Guo Jia knew that this was Xu Huang's idea, so he asked, "Does General Xu have a way to deal with it?" ”
Xu Huang nodded, and said confidently: "Cao Ren has a good plan. I've had a wall ladder and I'm going to win this battle! ”
Guo Jia watched Xu Huang toss for a while, and roughly knew what Xu Huang wanted to do, so he was silent, and just said to Xu Huang with a smile: "The general's clever plan will definitely be able to capture Huayin Pass." ”
Xu Huang smiled, and then ordered his soldiers to go to the mountains on both sides to cut down trees, it just so happened that the rear army had nothing to do, standing in such an icy and snowy place, it was indeed cold. Find something to do and warm your body.
After Xu Huang gave an order, the more than 20,000 Kwantung Army stopped attacking. Except for the 2,000 soldiers who remained in the front, the rest of the men all went up the mountain to cut down trees.
Cao Ren saw it clearly at Huayin Pass, and saw that Xu Huang was not in a hurry to attack, and after losing his troops, he actually didn't come to attack, but asked the soldiers to cut down trees, and he muttered in his heart: "Does Xu Huang want to camp here and make long-term plans?" ”
After thinking for a while, Cao Ren ordered: "The whole army is on alert. As soon as there is movement, the drums of war are immediately beaten. Command the rear army and start making a fire to cook. The army alternated going to the meal. ”
So, the two armies temporarily stopped fighting, the Huaxia army was happy to cut down trees on both sides of the mountain road, and Cao Ren stepped up the repair of the city gate, blocking the city gate with a square boulder, the city gate was blown to pieces, in a short time, it was impossible to rebuild one, only to use stones to temporarily resist.
In normal times, the Huaxia army was already in full swing, and patches of trees on both sides of the mountain road were cut down, and all the trees were piled together. Subsequently, the Huaxia army began to tie the trees together with the only rope, and several people carried a large tree, and tied the shield to the tree with ropes, one shield in front and another shield in the back.
And, cut all the trees to the same length, and find out that similar trees are tied together, with shields next to shields.
As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and more than 20,000 people are doing one thing at the same time, all of them are so neat and neat, and they soon formed a giant battle shield surrounded by steel. This was not enough, the Huaxia army had no nails, so they had to use steel guns instead, nailed the steel into the battle shield, and inserted the other end into the long wooden stake, so that the soldiers could lift the wooden stake behind and push the battle shield in front.
By the middle of the night, everyone was already tired, Xu Huang went out this time, and he was in a hurry, and the rear army did not bring anything like trees, pots and pans, only dry food. However, on such a cold day, after sweating profusely, once you are sweating, it is easy to catch a cold when the cold wind blows. So, Xu Huang asked the soldiers to take off their helmets one after another, set up piles of bonfires, get some clean snow and put them in the helmets, put the helmets on the bonfire, the snow melted into water, although the steel helmets were not burned, but they were hot, and the water became hotter and hotter under the continuous baking of the fire.
At the same time, Xu Huang made a lot of money, and asked people to kill a thousand war horses on the spot, and then drained the horse blood and distributed it to the soldiers to drink. Horse blood is hot, and drinking it can naturally improve some warmth. Then, they began to divide the horse meat, and roasted it on a bonfire, and in this way, the soldiers of the Huaxia army were bitter, first drinking horse blood, then eating horse meat, and then drinking half-cooked warm water.
After a good meal, it was already past noon, and everyone buried their helmets in the snow, and when the temperature of the steel helmets cooled down, they put them on their heads. Not to mention, when I put it on, I feel a burst of warmth. After the soldiers had eaten and drunk enough, they began to organize their formation, and pushed all the giant battle shields that were made in the morning to the front, and the giant battle shields were lined up side by side, looking like a newly formed wall. On the outside are bound shields, one after another on the log in the middle, and behind the back, there are also shields. At this time, the snow had already stopped, and the sun was shining on the earth with its faint light, and the sun was gradually turning westward, while Xu Huang and the others pushed the giant battle shield forward, and the sunlight shone on the battle shield composed of bright and bright shields, refracting a lot of light.
At this time, the Huaxia army hid behind the battle shield, advancing wave by wave, Xu Huang and Guo Jia rode horses, surrounded by cavalry. Ascended to a felled, bare plateau and watched the soldiers rush forward.
At this time, war drums sounded on the walls of Huayin Pass. The Wei army in the city was stationed for the night. In the cold and freezing, he always paid attention to the movements of the Huaxia army, but in the second half of the night. Although they had a full meal, they still couldn't withstand the severe cold, and the Huaxia army had no intention of attacking the city, so Cao Ren ordered the soldiers to rest in turns, and everyone slept for two hours.
At this time, Cao Ren was resting in the official office when he suddenly heard the beating of war drums and immediately reflexively jumped up from the bed. He did not take off his armor while he slept, but took his blade from the bedside, took out his helmet, put on his combat boots, and ran towards the city gate.
When Cao Ren came to the city gate and climbed the tower, he looked down to see the movements of the Huaxia army, and he was dumbfounded, the bright and dazzling things pushed by the Huaxia army seemed to be a bronze mirror, reflecting everything on the city wall, plus the reflection of the sun. It stabbed them so much that they couldn't open their eyes. Some of the soldiers had just crawled out of the bed, and they hadn't woken up yet, and there was a reflection of sunlight. If your eyes are astringent, rub them vigorously or cover them with your arms.
Cao Ren saw that this tall and row-by-row thing was moving forward step by step, his eyes were stabbed and he couldn't stand it, and hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”
Yang Fu replied: "General, it is a large giant shield made of the shield of the Huaxia Army, and the reflective one is the shield of the Huaxia Army, it seems that they are desperate." Come up with such an idea! ”
Cao Ren said: "The armor-piercing cone is indestructible, and any armor can shoot through." These shields are just small skills of carving insects. Pass the order down. The whole army is on alert, as long as you are within a hundred paces, you will shoot me with a piercing cone! ”
"No!"
Cao Ren was not wrong at all, the armor-piercing cone made by the Wei army was indeed indestructible. After Cao Cao subdued the countries of the Western Regions, he brought back a technology from the Western Regions to make armor, and in order to make high-quality weapons, he personally monitored the inspection process, and if the bow and arrow could not penetrate the armor, he would kill the person who made the bow and arrow, and on the contrary, kill the armorer. Such a perverted technique greatly stimulated the benign spirit of the Wei State in making weapons, and this armor-piercing cone was one of the products.
"Prepare the armies!" Yang Fu shouted loudly, and the archers on the city began to fill their bows and arrows, but their eyes were blocked.
"Shoot the arrows!" When Yang Fu saw the Huaxia Army pushing the huge battle shield into a hundred steps, he immediately shouted loudly.
For a while, the arrows rained down, and the armor-piercing cone penetrated the giant shield of the Huaxia Army, and Qi Gen did not enter, but it was only limited to this, when the armor-penetrating cone penetrated the first layer of shield, it penetrated the wooden stake behind the shield, which was regarded as a layer of resistance, and then penetrated the wooden pile, although the arrow shot into a shield behind, but the entire arrow body was embedded in that log, and the arrow indicated that it penetrated the second layer of shield, revealing a sharp point.
When the soldiers of the Huaxia Army hiding under the giant shield saw it, they all smiled, and when they saw that the armor cone did not penetrate it, their smiles immediately turned into a kind of anger, ready to avenge the brother who died last night.
At this time, it was Liao Hua who played the striker, and Lin Yang followed. Liao Hua continued to push forward while hiding behind the giant shield with everyone.
This is an open field, the Huaxia army is hiding behind the giant shield, a row of two thousand people, although the advance is a little slow, but in any case, at least there are no casualties.
If you advance further, there will be some resistance, because there is a thick snow in front of you, and it has not been cleared within a hundred paces, so two thousand men pushed the huge shield together, and let the arrows of the armor-piercing cone be shot from the city wall, but there was not a single casualty under the giant shield.
Cao Ren and the others just saw the reflection, and their figures were reflected in the bright mirror, and the archers shot indiscriminately, and after seeing the figure, they felt like they were shooting themselves, and they couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in their hearts.
After firing three waves of arrows in a row, the giant shield under the city was still moving forward, and they couldn't see how many people were under the giant shield and how many people were injured, everything was unknown.
Cao Ren couldn't care so much, he believed that his armor cone was indestructible, and he ordered to shoot, and the three rows of archers in the city took turns to shoot, and the armor cone was also extremely consumed, and after only a while, he had to be transported from the arsenal in the city, because of the early preparation and tacit understanding, so the archers did not appear to break the arrows.
However, the dense array of arrows shot out, and the giant shield crawling like a turtle got closer and closer to the wall, and the archer's arm strength decreased after a series of fires, even if the armor piercing cone was sharper. At this time, he also showed exhaustion, because the tail of the armor-piercing cone was already shown on the giant shield, and the strength could no longer be compared with before.
Cao Ren was furious. Then he shouted, "Bring up the ballista!" ”
Yang Fu got the order, and immediately led people to talk about the hundred giant ballistas in the arsenal and carried them up the city wall. Then they were erected one after another, and loaded with an arrow made of steel half a foot long, although small, but at a distance of fifty paces, the lethality was far greater than that of the armor-piercing cone.
"General, everything is ready!" Yang Fu reported.
Cao Ren pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed at the giant shield of the Huaxia army moving slowly in front of him, and shouted loudly: "As long as the enemy army enters within fifty steps." Launch now! ”
"No!"
At this time, Liao Hua and the other two thousand people at the front of the line continued to advance, and everyone pushed the giant shield and walked forward slowly like a snowplow.
However, after about twenty paces of pushing, everyone was tired and out of breath, for the snow might have been easier if it had been pushed to both sides, but if it had been pushed forward, the distance of the first eighty paces would have been covered with snow. It takes a lot of effort to push it to the base of the wall.
The giant shield stopped for a while, for Liaohua them. Not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone sat on the floor, gasping for air.
Cao Ren saw that the Huaxia army had stopped on the city wall, and thought that it was the armor-piercing cone that had worked, so he laughed out loud and made people shoot with the armor-piercing cone.
After shooting another wave of arrows, Yang Fu came to Cao Ren's side and said, "General, the archers are already a little tired, so continue." I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it, so my subordinates suggest. The archers can be given a temporary rest, as long as the Huaxia army moves. and immediately attacked. ”
Cao Ren looked at the archers beside him, and they all looked very tired, so he said: "Okay, let them all stop and rest, I will move if the enemy moves, and rest if the enemy does not move." ”
"No!"
So, on the wall of Huayin City, the Wei army stopped shooting and rested against the city wall. Archery is a physical job, and two or three arrows may not be a big problem, and it will not have any effect on physical strength. But if you shoot more than a dozen times in a row, the problem will be revealed, a person's arm strength is limited, and under continuous strong shots, the power in the hand will be relatively reduced, so the power of the arrows shot out will also be reduced.
Xu Huang and Guo Jia stood on the high post, looking at the battlefield ahead with binoculars, and saw the hard work of the forward soldiers most clearly. Therefore, Liao Hua and the others stopped for the time being, and they are not to blame.
At this time, Xu Huang saw that the crossbow cart was set up on the city tower, and after watching it carefully, he shouted: "Not good, the crossbow arrows on the crossbow cart of the Wei army are too large, and if they are shot out at a short distance, they will definitely cause damage to the giant shield." ”
Guo Jia also looked over and said: "It has reached this point, it is impossible to retreat, if we do not capture this city today, the Wei army reinforcements will continue to come, delaying for a long time, I am afraid that we cannot launch a quick attack, and we will not be able to push it to Chang'an City in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this year, we must let the Wei army have a bad time!" ”
"Today is already twenty-nine, after capturing Huayin, forcibly hundreds of miles to Chang'an in one day, or in such bad weather, will it be a little too lonely?" Xu Huang said worriedly.
"If Cao Ren is defeated and retreats, he can take advantage of the victory to pursue, one drum, can even several cities, the rear of the Wei army is empty, there are no troops to adjust, the key is the distance from Huayin to Bashang, even if it cannot advance to the city of Chang'an, it must reach Bashang, and then the garrison is there, guarding the main road, and mobilizing reinforcements from behind. Rao is like this, and it can also make Wei Jun unable to live in peace for the New Year. Guo Jia said.
Hearing Guo Jia say this, Xu Huang nodded and said, "The soldiers are fast and fast, Lord Taiwei is well versed in the art of war, but I am too timid." ”
Subsequently, Xu Huang asked people to pass the order and tell the former army to be careful of the ballistas in the city. He said to Guo Jia: "Lord Taiwei, now, I will hand over the command to you, and I will use this only 1,000 cavalry to capture Huayin City." ”
Guo Jia saw that Xu Huang had a certain idea, so he nodded and said, "General Xu, rest assured, the Kwantung Army is coordinated, even if there is no one to command, this battle knows how to fight." This battle will be the time when the Kwantung Army will become famous, and General Xu will inevitably gain a great achievement. ”
Xu Huang smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Xu will say goodbye first." ”
With that, Xu Huang took a thousand cavalry, went down the hillside, came to the center of the mountain road, the group of soldiers made way of a road, and the cavalry drove out of the mountain road. Come to an open field and stop.
At this time, Xu Huang's order had reached the front army, and Liao Hua knew about it. He said to his subordinate soldiers: "This is an all-round advancement, and there is great resistance. It is better to divide into two teams, break through from the middle, sweep the snow to both sides, form a semicircle with a huge shield, and clear a way for the cavalry team of the general of the chariot cavalry. ”
Everyone agreed, and after a short rest, they resumed their work. This time it was split in two. Sweeping left and right, vacating a central road, it seems that it is a bit more effective with half the effort.
The arrows on the city wall rained down, but it didn't do any damage to the Huaxia army, behind the giant shield, what should I do. For a while, the clean-up action was much faster.
When Liao Hua and the others approached within fifty paces, suddenly a hundred huge crossbow arrows shot down from the city wall, and the crossbow arrows were menacing. Far more powerful than the armor-piercing cone, an arrow shot through and pierced into the giant shield. The giant shield shook for it, and the arrow of the crossbow arrow directly passed through the giant shield, stretching forward more than a foot long, a soldier was working close to the giant shield, and was directly shot into the body by the crossbow arrow from the buttocks, the sharp crossbow arrows penetrated into the body, and the soldier's ass was not armored, and it was also the weakest part of the human body, and the soldier screamed. Moaning incessantly, but the others saw it. Unable to do anything, a crossbow bolt like the handle of a gun was inserted into the human body. If it is pulled out, I am afraid that the soldier will die on the spot.
Coincidentally, a hundred such crossbow arrows injured a hundred soldiers who were clearing the snow, and for a while, they screamed again and again.
On the city wall, Cao Ren heard this scream, and was extremely excited, knowing that it was the crossbow arrows from the giant ballista that had played a role, so he shouted: "Quick! Keep shooting with the ballista and shoot them hard! The archers are on standby, and if they see the enemy showing their heads, they will shoot me! ”
"No!"
The defending Wei army also came to the spirit, and the soldiers who operated the giant ballista also shot forward as if they were dead, but the giant ballista was cumbersome to operate, and there was a short time interval after shooting.
Liao Hua and the others were damaged again and again, and they didn't dare to get too close, but when someone showed their heads slightly, there was a rain of arrows on the city wall.
"Damn! If we go out, we will work together to continue to push forward, and give me all the strength to feed, I don't believe it, we can't clear this way. Liao Hua shouted, then hugged the log that could push the giant shield forward, exerted his strength, and rushed forward.
At this moment, the soldiers were all inspired, and they all worked together, shouting the trumpet, while pushing forward, letting the arrows fly on the city wall, and not asking, their mission was to be responsible for clearing the snow of the hundred steps, and now that they were half completed, if they gave up easily, they would only give up halfway.
Xu Huang saw the damage of the front army in the back, and secretly said in his heart: "I will ask the Wei army for the damage you have suffered today." ”
Then, Xu Huang ordered his subordinates: "The whole army is ready!" ”
At this time, Liao Hua and others braved the rain of arrows and kept moving forward, and the soldiers were constantly killed under the attack of armor-piercing cones and giant crossbow arrows. However, no soldier ever complained, and still pushed the giant shield forward with all his might. After advancing to about twenty steps, Liao Hua shouted loudly: "It's time to fight back, throw them all out of me!" ”
With Liao Hua's order, some soldiers began to ignite the fuse of the bag with flint and steel, and then threw it vigorously in the direction of the city gate. Immediately afterwards, there were a series of explosions at the city gate, and the Wei soldiers who blocked the city gate all retreated, for fear of being blown up, and the half-human-high boulders they piled up were also blown apart, and the entire city gate was already unsightly.
As soon as a soldier of the Huaxia Army lifted a lit bag, as soon as his hand was exposed, an armor-piercing cone immediately shot through his wrist, and as soon as he released his hand, the bag immediately fell to his side.
"Spread out! The soldier who had been shot through the wrist saw this and screamed.
But now the explosion continued, except for a few people around him, others couldn't hear his shouts at all, he saw that the bag was about to explode, he gritted his teeth violently, and his body pounced directly on the bag, pressing the bag with his body, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor of Huaxia Shenzhou!" ”
As soon as the voice fell, I only heard a loud "boom", and the bag exploded, directly blowing the person apart and flying his limbs. But because he pressed the bag with his own body, the power of the explosion was greatly reduced, and no one else was injured. It's just that his blood is splattered everywhere.
When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
"Big brother! The eldest brother ...... "Among the soldiers, a soldier saw a person who was blown apart. He cried out and found a stump on the ground. I want to cry without tears.
Suddenly, he raised his head suddenly, snatched all the bags from the soldiers around him, looked at himself in a circle, his eyes were bloodshot with hatred, and he held a fire fold in his hand, and he gritted his back molars violently to open a gap. rushed forward directly, shouting loudly: "Give back my eldest brother's life!" ”
Now there were only a dozen paces left, and the soldiers took a self-killing attack, crawling on the thick snow, arrows raining down on the city walls, and fierce armor-piercing cones were shooting overwhelmingly. The soldier was hit by more than a dozen arrows, and his body was covered in blood, staining the snow around him red, but he still stubbornly crawled forward. Seeing that he was about to reach the city gate, he kept shooting huge crossbow arrows directly into the city. Pierced his whole body and nailed him to the snow nest. The man was reluctant and looked only a few steps away from the city gate. With the last strength of his body, he lit the circle of bags, and threw it towards the city gate with all his might.
This is still dozens of steps away, and it was thrown directly to the place where the Wei army gathered at the city gate, and when those Wei soldiers saw this, they were all frightened, and they ran away, and at this moment, a series of loud noises of "boom" spread in the city gate. The soldier saw the scene of the Wei soldiers being blown away, and a smile appeared on his mouth. He finally avenged his eldest brother, and then he died directly.
Other soldiers of the Huaxia Army saw it later. They were all deeply moved, and shouted one after another, and then a few soldiers with bags all over their bodies rushed to the city gate without their lives.
"Shoot them! Don't let them get near the gates! Blocked! Block! On the city wall, Cao Ren had obviously seen the power of the Huaxia army, and he had already begun to panic, pointing at the few soldiers who had killed themselves and shouted loudly to the archers.
Under his shout, the archers went to shoot those sporadic Huaxia soldiers, which relieved the pressure on Liao Hua and the others.
Liao Hua looked at his tragic scene and shouted loudly: "The last ten steps, rush!" ”
The two thousand vanguard army, at this time there were less than 1,000 left, the road was sprinkled with blood, there were corpses everywhere, for this hundred steps, the Huaxia army paid a terrible price.
After hearing Liao Hua's shout, the vanguard pushed forward with all their might, and the pressure on their heads was also reduced a lot, pushing the snow in the last ten steps twice. As soon as they approached the city gate, Liao Hua and the others drew their blades one after another, and after more than a dozen explosions continued to be heard in the city gate, they immediately rushed in from the city gate, picked up the bags carried by the soldiers who were shot down from the ground, and continued to rush towards the city gate.
At this moment, the second echelon of the Huaxia Army led by Lin Yang was also about to arrive at the city gate, and what they were holding in their hands was no longer a crossbow, but a crossbow, and when the city gate was in chaos, they shot at the Wei army on the city wall. The cavalry team led by Xu Huang also set off from behind, and after arriving, the giant shields blocking the intersection in front gave way one after another, and Xu Huang held a sky-shaking axe in his hand and galloped away on a horse.
The handle of the sky-shaking axe was made of pure steel, and the big axe was made of pure gold, which was extremely thick and luxurious, and was personally rewarded to him by Lin Nan.
Huayin City has already been in chaos, the city gate was broken through by the Huaxia army, and the crossbows of the Huaxia army outside the city kept shooting, which was really a front and back attack.
"General, the city gate is lost, you should retreat quickly, there are still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, enough to compete with the enemy again." Seeing this, Yang Fu hurriedly hugged his fists.
Cao Ren was extremely remorseful, Cao Wei sought the benefits of the armor for many years, but he didn't expect that today under the strong attack of the Huaxia army, he insisted on it in less than an afternoon, and the city gate was breached, and the weapons of the Huaxia army were too advanced, as long as they were a little bit, they would explode, and they could not be reached by human life.
Cao Ren saw that there were Huaxia troops inside and outside the city, he looked up to the sky and roared, and said with tears: "This is not a war crime, but in fact, the Huaxia Kingdom is too violent. Your Majesty, as soon as Huayin closes the door and opens, I am afraid that Qinzhou will live up to all ......"
"Escort the general to leave this place quickly, to the inner city, and hold the urn city!" Yang Fu hurriedly ordered Cao Ren to be taken away, while he himself stayed behind and commanded more than 5,000 archers on the city wall to continue to block the Huaxia army and contain the Huaxia army.
"Yang Fu! Be sure to return to Urn City alive! Cao Ren saw that Yang Fu volunteered to stay in command, so he shouted loudly.
Yang Fu smiled at Cao Ren, picked up a big bow, pulled the bowstring, and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”
This Wei army, an iron army trained by Cao Ren himself, was highly disciplined, and although the Huaxia Kingdom had the upper hand, these people were never afraid. At the beginning, I was worried about the Huaxia army, but now that the white-knuckle battle has begun at the city gate, the use is gone, and the three thousand armor soldiers gathered at the city gate struggled to resist, and Liao Hua rushed into the city with people, but was forced out by the Wei army again.
The armor of the Wei army is very remarkable, the weapons in the hands are extremely sharp, and the armor on the body is also extremely hard, comparable to the steel armor of the Huaxia army.
Outside the city, Lin Yang and others kept shooting arrows at the upper body of the city wall, and the crossbow arrows hit the battle armor, but they couldn't shoot through, which surprised the people of the Huaxia army. However, the accuracy of the crossbow of the Huaxia army is relatively high, since it can't shoot through the armor, it shoots the forehead of the Wei soldiers, so under the fire of ten thousand arrows, although the archers on the city wall are condescending, but they also suffer a big loss, one is in the light, one is in the dark, after a pair of shots, the archers of the Wei army on the city wall have been shot through the head, all of them are killed, and more than 5,000 archers only have less than half of the work left for a while.
"Get out of the way!" Xu Huang led the cavalry team to finally arrive, and shouted at Lin Yang and the others first.
Lin Yang and the others heard the shouts and hurriedly got out of the way.
Yang Fu saw that Xu Huang personally led the troops to come, so he hurriedly opened his bow and set up an arrow, and released an arrow at Xu Huang, shouting: "Eat me with an arrow!" ”
Xu Huang had already prepared, the sky-shaking axe was picked up first, and the golden axe directly cut off the armor cone lazily, and at the same time took off a big bow tied to the saddle, leaned back, moved out of the stirrup with one foot, touched an intact armor cone with his hand, stepped on the bow arm, pulled the bowstring in his hand, and shot an arrow at the city wall with his back to the sky.
Seeing this, Yang Fu was taken aback, he never thought that Xu Huang would have this kung fu, he couldn't dodge for a while, he was shot in the head by an arrow, and it was directly mounted on the doorpost behind the city tower, and an arrow was nailed there, and he died immediately, his eyes were full of horror.
Xu Huang put away the big bow, sneered, and scolded: "Pickled villain, the secret arrow hurts people, let you know how powerful the general is!" ”
While speaking, Xu Huang's 1,000 cavalry rushed to the gate of the city in the rain of arrows, at this time Liao Hua and others were fighting bloodily, Liao Hua led the only remaining more than 500 people to be completely suppressed by the Wei army, and they were unable to do so, so they could only retreat.
"General Liao, please get out of the way quickly!" Seeing this, Xu Huang frowned, because he saw that Liao Hua and the others' weapons were cut on the armor of the Wei army and could not hurt it, and he immediately understood that his army had lost the advantage of the armor, and what would happen next would be an out-and-out bloody battle!
Liao Hua was in the midst of a bitter battle, and suddenly heard Xu Huang's shout, and his heart immediately rejoiced, and he hurriedly ordered: "Disperse!" (To be continued)
