Chapter 132: Fire and Rain from the Sky
There are tens of thousands of people, and there is no edge! Not to mention 100,000 people!
Since the negotiation broke down in the afternoon, Cao Cao took the initiative to launch an attack until now, nearly three hours have passed, at this time the sunset has been dull to the west sky, the earth illuminated by the remnant sun is blood-red, those broken spears inserted in the ground, messy chariots lying on the ground, and the helmet and hangers of the Hebei Yuan army that are carrying the banner and charging forward, are all painted with a bright red, standing on the lookout on the third floor and looking down, there is a piece of blood red in front of you.
In the telescope, Yuan Shao, who had been furious all afternoon, seemed to be able to faintly see a rich victory smile on his old face full of beard and justice.
From Yuan Shao's point of view, Cao Cao is not far from death!
After all, he could mobilize 80,000 infantry, while Cao Cao only had 20,000! Moreover, the left and right armies had to be divided into the attack of the cavalry, and the battle lasted for more than three hours, and the Hebei infantry had been rotated six times, but the Cao army had been facing the battle, and now it was even more retracted to his large camp to resist stubbornly.
Victory! Xu Du! Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! These distances to Yuan Shao seem to be only a swing of the sword!
In fact, he also wielded a sword! Standing on the command car of the tiger-striped snare drum behind him, the old face full of positive characters was full of joy and arrogance, Yuan Shao pointed to the front and roared and shouted: "Give way to the army!" With Zhang Hebu Euphorbia as the pioneer! The rear army pushed the well fence and the cart went into battle! The thief is right in front of you! The armies are moving forward! Entering life! Death to those who retreat! The reward for capturing the thief alive is 10,000 gold, and the county marquis will be sealed! The thief who cuts Cao will be rewarded with a thousand catties, and the pavilion will be sealed! Kill me!! ”
There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, no wonder the heroes of the world are bent over it! This kind of shaking arms and exhaling, the feeling of thousands of shadows is indeed indescribable domineering! In Yuan Shao's sword-waving and shouting, Yuan Jun, who was attacking head-on, suddenly made another uproar and suddenly got out of the way, but before Cao Jun breathed a sigh of relief, he was wearing heavy armor with a basin collar, a heavy helmet on his head, and a three-meter halberd in both hands, several teams of heavily armored warriors armed to the teeth roared like a tractor and rushed up, and relying on the thick armor and gall fat, they were not afraid of the spears that were cut through the gaps like the hedgehogs of the Cao army, and they were directly hit on the shield array in the exclamation of the Central Plains infantry on guard, with Cao Jun's spearhead under their armpits, The brute bull was crowded inside.
The first row hit the shield, and the second row stabbed the halberd behind the shield frantically by virtue of his height, completely ignoring the Cao army weapons that stabbed in front of them.
Not only the halberd warrior who broke through head-on, but also the arrows above his head were like crying ghosts asking for his life, falling down densely, not to mention the Cao soldiers below, a circling goshawk had just fluttered its wings and crossed it, and then it also fell down with a full body of feathered arrows in a wailing.
Wells and carts have always been heavy weapons for siege, but because of their weight, this thing rarely appears in the field, but this time, relying on the advantage of numbers, Yuan Shao pushed more than 50 such heavy guys!
But it's also really useful! Six meters to eight meters of the well fence, looking down, the soldiers in the Cao army camp walk at a glance, tens of thousands of people shouted the trumpet heavy drag the well fence forward, the ground is pressed out of a deep rut by the wooden wheels, by the height advantage, waves of arrows rain down heavily, crackling and even pierced into the iron shield, the pressure of the Cao army can only be against the shield can not raise their heads.
The huge pressure, Cao Jun was like a string jumping to the limit, as if it was about to break at any time.
But looking at the crowded, the Yuan army array that could not be seen at a glance, and the subordinates who had been beaten in their own positions disappeared from view, and Cao Cao was excited and couldn't stop knocking on the wooden railing.
"It's time! It's time! Send an order to Wang Tuqiu and let him use the return cannon to smash this picture! Smash hard! ”
"Whoa!"
Responding loudly, in Guo Jiaxun Yu's forehead sweat beads rolling down, the Xiangfu messenger grunted down the stairs as if he had a hot buttocks, and rushed to the rear army.
Rear army, trebuchet position!
"The king's envoy! The prime minister has an order! Return to the artillery attack, smash hard! ”
Wang Hou, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, listened to this sentence, but slowly grew out in a breath, and then turned around, and pulled it out slowly and squeaked, he actually didn't know how to use it, it was the ring head knife used to pretend to be forced, and pointed forward sharply.
"Return the cannon from one to the tenth, fire the thunderbolt! All that remains is to throw red coals and launch them in a ladder! Listen to my orders and put! ”
Although he did not have the courage of Yuan Shao to command an army of 100,000 with a wave of his hand, as an artillery commander, he also had a unique charm in it, Wang Hou gave an order, and the heavy counterweight of the return cannon fell down with a huge roar, and threw the hundreds of pounds of vat violently, this thing was too heavy, and the sound of friction and whistling with the air stretched out Cao Jun's eardrums were numb, and a large vat also hit a row of arrow rain in mid-air, and the heavy arrows hit it with a spark and fell down, Yuan Jun, who was pushing the well railing, raised his head in astonishment.
The heavy vat grew bigger and bigger in their pupils!
Bang~
In the ancient wars of the TV series, trebuchets often threw solid stones, and they exploded in a large circle when the fire was splashed, but those were all, but Wang Hou's was real, a tank was full of hundreds of catties of high nitrate black powder packs, and a large row of red-hot coals were tied to the outside of the powder tank, dragging the black tail flame, and after a long parabola, it smashed into Yuan Shao's military camp at once.
The fragile clay shell was torn apart in an instant, and the coal was slammed into the gunpowder bag, and in just one second, the gunpowder that had been burned through the linen cloth exploded like a divine punishment, and the scattered air waves blew out even the nearby Hebei infantry wearing heavy armor like rag dolls, and wrapped in the gunpowder bag, and the pieces of thistle terrestris were also whistling and ejecting out, this thing really looked at the face, many of them were stunned by the Yuan army infantry ten meters away from the explosion point, but Yuan Jun, who was sixty or seventy meters away, covered his eyes, Clutching his bleeding neck, he rolled on the ground miserably.
Ten explosion cylinders, more than 30 people were torn and smashed by gunpowder on the spot, hundreds of people were covered with blood under the splashing thistle, and the evil ghosts screamed so badly, the entire battlefield fell silent for this thunderous blow, both Cao Jun and Yuan Jun looked at this place in amazement.
After three or four seconds, an eight-meter-high well fence collapsed fiercely in the frightened screams of hundreds of archers on the railing, and the dense number of people became the disadvantage of the Hebei army at this time, and there was no time to dodge, and hundreds of people were smashed underneath.
The collapsed well fence and the exploding cylinder of the explosion were just the beginning, and then, in the already slightly dim sky, more meteors dragged their red tails, and they also rained down on Yuan Jun's head, a piece of red-hot coal was about three catties to eight catties, a basket of more than twenty pieces, and a hundred trebuchets, which fell more than two thousand pieces one after another, crackled and smashed on Yuan Jun's head, throwing out two hundred to eight hundred meters, with a drop of one or two hundred meters, even if the three-pound coal block smashed on Yuan Jun's helmet, it was a clang, and the sparks were splashed in all directions. The helmet broke his head and bled out, and when the eight catties of coal were smashed, his neck was broken, his sternum collapsed, and his thigh bone snapped.
Under the brilliant attack of the meteor shower, the Yuan army that was crowded together was harvested one by one, and some even caught fire on their bodies, and hugged others in panic in the terrible screams, which ignited a large number of comrades, and there was a frightened and messy cry everywhere, and the elite infantry of Yuan Shaojun, who was 50,000 or 60,000 in a thick crowd, was completely chaotic under the bombardment of this kind of mechanical energy that non-human beings could resist!
This is also Cao Cao's ruthlessness! The return cannon is indeed a sharp weapon, but its power is not enough to reverse the huge gap in strength, and Cao Yan argues about the clouds: one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion! The first attack was the most frightened and chilling time for the Hebei infantry, the second time it was not so shocking, and the third time it was even if it was afraid, it was enough to get used to it, so Cao Cao had been hiding Wang Hou's trebuchet position, even if his infantry suffered heavy casualties under the impact of the Yuan army, and fell into the hands of the Yuan army archers one by one, until Yuan Shao launched a general attack and densed the army to the extent that Cao was satisfied, which launched this death trap.
"Launch!"
Pulling his throat like a duck to be slaughtered, Wang Hou raised his knife and roared as hard as he could, with his drinking order, those heavy weapons soldiers also kept picking up the red-hot coal in the coal pile, and launched it, among the coal that rained down, the originally neat and calm Hebei military formation took the lead and couldn't hold back, the army collapsed, and the Yanzhao infantry abandoned the formation, discarded their weapons and covered their brains and cried and shouted back, in the telescope, Obviously, seeing that Yuan Shao's face on the command car was wonderful, Thomas spun around the big side at 360 degrees, and the originally calm command sword technique also turned into a chicken-killing sword technique, constantly turning his head and waving his sword to the left and right and roaring, and even slashing and killing a few routs, but he still couldn't stop the rout.
Throwing away the binoculars, Cao Cao laughed, laughed wildly for a while, and threw the unlucky Yitian Sword downstairs with a bang, shouting frantically at the heralds on call downstairs.
"Order Cao Ren's infantry to open the formation, and let Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xiahou and Cao Zhendu cavalry go out of battle! Hunt down Yuan Jun and kill Yuan Shao! Kill Yuan Shao! Kill Yuan Shao! ”
Relying on trebuchets can never defeat the Yuan army, the real killing has to rely on real knives and real guns, in Cao Cao's face distorted, mad roar, the shield array that was dead blocking the gap in the chest wall opened with a sound, holding the shield, those big shield soldiers hurriedly ran to both sides, the gap opened, staring at the iron horseshoe of the horse's hooves trampling on the solid ground ping-pong, has been holding back for an afternoon, watching the cavalry fighting in the majestic Cao army war drums, vigorous as a dragon rushed out, especially Zhang Liao Xiahou and other generals, with spears under their crotches, facing the delicate little chrysanthemums of Yuan Jun, who was carrying himself in a panic, stabbed over with a hideous face.
To describe this paragraph with Teacher Shan Tianfang's commentary, it is the stabbing batch of guns, the waves of big knives, the rattling of horses' hooves, the screams of the disrupted Yuan Jun, and the chopped off heads rolling to the ground.
The cavalry rushed to complete the final blow to Yuan Shao, just now the collapse of the Yuan army is still like a wisp of deserters melted by ice, in front of the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army, it is the collapse of the entire entire tripartite phalanx in a large area, and finally completely evolved into a defeated chrysanthemum, more than 70,000 Yuan troops lost their armor, banners and spears were inserted on the ground indiscriminately, and the huge well fence watchtower was thrown on the position, and everyone was in a hurry.
The large-scale rout also shook the morale of the cavalry, Jiang Qi took two cavalry generals and simply pulled out their horses and left, the Chinese army, wielding the sword technique of killing chickens, Yuan Shao was still roaring with all his might, victory was still within reach before the time of a few incense sticks, but now it fell apart under an inexplicable rain of fire from the sky, and under the huge psychological gap, this family of the fourth world and the third prince was really too difficult to accept! His mind was even going crazy.
But at this moment, the cavalry of the Cao army, who had already driven Yuan Shao's 100,000 defeated soldiers to kill, set up bows and arrows, and shot a few arrows over, and the big drum behind Yuan Shao was shot into a few holes, seeing that an arrow was almost nailed to him, a civilian official next to Yuan Shao hurriedly boarded the chariot, and slammed down Yuan Shao desperately, dodging a fatal arrow.
…………
The roaring drum shook the sky, on the three-layer lookout, Cao Cao had already let go of the telescope at this time, and together with the sixteen cowhide snare drums of the Chinese army, he also talked about the drum hammer, and personally beat the drum for the soldiers of the three armies. The scribe who was crooked by the hat was persuaded to push Yuan Shao on the horse and push him into the cavalry.
Looking back at the battlefield where the defeated soldiers were like a mountain, and with a long sigh, Yuan Shao finally fled north in embarrassment. This was not over, and the scribe shouted to organize a nearby platoon of guards to form an array, escorting the command car to stay behind and break off, and then he also turned over and ran away.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Cao Army who had chased to the vicinity and the dead soldiers in the palace were fighting, and Yuan Shao ran farther and farther, Wang Hou slapped his thigh with great regret.
"Hey!"
also sighed regretfully, but then Xun Yu, the old minister next to him, shook the old head with emotion, and said in admiration.
"The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family! can sit in the four states of Hebei and bring hundreds of thousands of armor, and it is really not a wasted name! At the critical moment, there is also this pure minister who stepped forward, we should encourage ourselves! ”
"Old Lingzhong, who is that person?"
In regret, Wang Hou also turned his head with interest and asked curiously, but Xun Yu, who had no one to grab the telescope, stared at it for a while, and saw that the civil official had also run away, so he stroked his white beard and gave Wang Hou an unexpected name.
