Chapter 216: Shura Battlefield
Hourly hour!
Lu Bu commanded the army to march slowly towards Li Hu's camp!
20,000 troops, respectively to the gate and the fence to attack, Lu Bu personally led 3,000 swords and axes, in the rear to supervise the battle, but there are those who retreat behind Lu Bu, all killed!
Looking at the dense crash outside the camp, Li Hu snorted coldly with disdain, and ordered loudly: "Throw stones!" ”
As soon as Li Hu's words fell, the heralds beside him hurriedly scattered and went to give the order on behalf of Li Hu!
As the main siege equipment during the siege, the crash is mainly used to impact the fence!
Li Hu gave an order, and the catapult on the dirt slope behind him immediately started running at high speed!
The soldier put the boulder the size of a millstone into his pocket, and then pulled the lever, and the boulder rose into the sky, cutting through the sky, and falling into the enemy army outside the camp with the sound of breaking wind!
In an instant, blood and wails abounded!
Li Yang's methods are ruthless, using boulders as strategic materials, and picking boulders with smooth surfaces and rare edges and corners for strategic reserves!
The boulder is round, and after it lands, it keeps rolling forward like a leather ball, until dozens of feet later, and then stops the endless bloody killing due to lack of remaining strength!
Looking back in the direction of the boulder, what caught my eye was a blood-colored ravine one foot deep, about three feet wide, and more than 20 zhang long, both sides of the ravine were covered with stumps and broken arms, and the seriously injured soldiers were rolling on the ground in pain, and the heart-rending wails were not stopped, and the people around me intuitively felt that their scalps were numb, and goosebumps fell to the ground!
A hundred catapults were launched at the same time, which made the Xuzhou soldiers who were rushing in the direction of the camp suffer a lot!
After a long time!
The Xuzhou soldiers pushed the catapult into the firing range!
Seeing this, Hao Meng, who was in charge of the battle command, hurriedly issued an order to the soldiers to fight back!
In the face of the flying boulder, the garrison soldiers methodically took out the large net prepared in advance, faced the flying boulder, opened the big net, and put it into the net, which can avoid the secondary damage caused by the boulder after it landed!
Without the bonus of secondary damage, the power of the catapult is equivalent to minus most of it!
Seeing this, Hao Meng hurriedly changed his previous strategy, ordered someone to replace the boulder, and instead projected a fire pot into the camp!
The production of the fire pot is very simple, Weng is filled with fire oil, and Weng leaves a section of fire twist, this is the fire cup!
Light the fire twist and throw the fire pot into the camp, and after the fire pot hits the ground, sparks will fly everywhere and splash damage, the effect is excellent!
In the face of the flying fire pots, the soldiers guarding the camp have no good way to deal with it!
Jia Xu summoned the heralds who were standing not far away. Said: "Order the soldiers to dismantle all the tents on the inside of the fence!" After the fire pot hits the ground, bury it with the sand prepared in advance! ”
Jia Xu has the right to be arbitrary, and there are standing commanders beside him, and he can listen to his orders at any time!
The herald frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Dare to ask sir, where is the sand?" ”
Jia Xu smiled and pointed to the northwest corner of the camp, and said, "The sand and soil are all ready, and you can take them and put them into use!" ”
"No!" The herald is gone!
Meanwhile!
The soldiers of Xuzhou have already marched to the place of a stone's throw and launched a decisive charge to the battalion in the sound of drums and horns!
"This is the moment we have been waiting for!" Li Hu snorted coldly and said, "Beat the drum, release the arrow!" ”
The drums are beating!
The crossbowmen raised their crossbows at a forty-five degree angle, followed by the beat of the drums, and shouted in unison: "Wind! Wind! Wind! "As soon as the drums sounded, the crossbowmen completed the first round of indiscriminate long-range strikes against the enemy!
A rain of arrows is coming, covering the sky and the sun!
The soldiers in Xuzhou looked up one after another, and couldn't help but gasp!
Arrows rain down, there is no way to avoid it, even if you raise your shield to block, you can't protect your whole body!
At this moment, only by running desperately can you get a chance to survive!
In just a few hundred paces of forward distance, the Xuzhou soldiers were hit by three rounds of arrow rain!
This is the power of the improved Liaodong strong crossbow!
Lightweight and easier to handle, you don't need to stretch the bow and pull the strings, just replace the crossbow box with the bolts on it!
In just 300 paces of frontal distance, there were as many as 1,000 people killed on Lu Bu's side!
After paying more than a thousand lives, the Xuzhou soldiers finally gritted their teeth and rushed to the end of the trip!
In front of the fence!
The soldiers on both sides launched an extremely fierce fight to the death!
It's time for the bayonet to see red!
The Xuzhou soldier held the steel knife in his mouth and climbed up along the fence!
The Xuzhou soldiers who remained below were armed with spears and swept the battle for the robe, and they were responsible for attracting the attention of the soldiers guarding the camp, and holding spears along the gaps in the fence to stab the enemy with their spears!
The shield-wielding soldier in charge of guarding the fence, holding the shield in both hands, stood shoulder to shoulder with the robe Ze, confronted the enemy, did not give an inch, the robe Ze died, the latter filled the position, the cycle went on and on, life was endless, and the battle did not stop!
The shield soldiers are heavily armoured, holding foot shields, but they are not equipped with weapons, their task is to use their bodies to desperately resist the enemy's attack, the meaning of their existence is like the death squad of later generations, survival after the war is purely a misunderstanding, and dying on the battlefield is the norm!
Everyone is from a slave background, or a death row prisoner waiting to be killed, and now that Li Yang has given them a chance to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, they are naturally willing to give it a go for the sake of their families and future!
It's a big deal to die on the battlefield, and at that time, you can save a pretty generous pension for your family, so why not?
The lives of the ancients were not worth much, let alone slaves and condemned prisoners, when they first heard the amount of pensions issued by the Youzhou army, everyone was stunned, and they all had a certain pathological psychology of just wanting to die quickly!
The Youzhou army clearly stipulates that those who die in battle will be given a pension of 50,000 yuan!
50,000 yuan, enough for a family of five, five years of chewing!
That's a lot of money!
At the market price at that time, the value of a beautiful maid was about 30,000 yuan, and if you talk about the price, 50,000 yuan is enough to buy two beautiful maids and go home to warm their beds!
Hey? Why do you use the analogy of a beautiful maid? It's amazing!
The value of an ordinary handmaid is about 10,000 dollars!
Soldiers on both sides stabbed wildly along the cracks in the fence!
The soldiers of Xuzhou suffered heavy casualties because they did not have shield soldiers to assist them!
Soon a mountain of corpses was piled up outside the fence!
The attacking side had no advantage at all, and in the face of the well-equipped and well-trained Youzhou elite, the Xuzhou soldiers were like local chickens and dogs, and they were quickly defeated!
There are many types of troops in Youzhou, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly, and the shield soldiers will defend the inside of the fence impenetrable, so that the soldiers standing behind them with spears have no worries!
Without the burden in his heart, he will naturally have the strength to kill people, and every time the soldiers hold a spear and stab it forward, they will chant in their hearts: "One military merit, two military merits, three military merits!" Four... Five... Oh my God, Naigong is about to develop! ”
With the blessing of military merits, the originally heavy spear is now in his hand, and he doesn't feel laborious!
