Chapter 455: Guarding the Pot and Merging the State (II)
The tribulus terrestris was broken, and Zhang Liao knew that the real tough battle was coming.
"Everyone, be on your guard!"
Zhang Liao's voice fell, and a squadron leader on the side asked in a low voice: "We still have five hundred tribulus terrestris available, and almost one hundred were recovered yesterday." ”
"No way!" Zhang Liao immediately shook his head and replied, "It's not yet the most critical moment. ”
The squadron leader didn't say anything more, just bowed his head slightly, and looked at the enemy rushing under the gate with murderous intent in his eyes.
Suddenly, a large wave of arrows rose into the air and flew towards the juncture. There was no need for Zhang Liao to command, and one shield after another was erected.
Dingdingding......
Zhang Liao glanced at the arrows not far behind him expressionlessly, and then waved his hand to let the soldier in front of him remove a shield. Looking at the arrows that struck again in mid-air, a glint flashed in his eyes.
In an instant, the arrow was about to arrive, and the long knife in Zhang Liao's hand danced, turning into a partial silver light, and countless sawdust splashed in all directions.
It's not that Zhang Liao is handsome and cool, just to boost the morale of the army, even if these soldiers are the elite of the elite, but after six days of hard fighting, it's time to need encouragement. Besides, it's not a good thing not to see the enemy's movements.
Zhang Liao's novice smashed the arrows that attacked him, and as soon as his eyes fell to the wooden shield outside the pass, which was already close to the pass, his eyes suddenly condensed: "Get ready, the enemy is going to build a cloud ladder." ”
"Rolling Stones!"
Thanks to the withdrawal of Yuan's troops from the north yesterday, they were able to pack up some supplies in the evening, including rolling stones and sassal wood.
The shield instantly appeared in a staggered gap, and pieces of rolling stones the size of grinding discs were thrown down—
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Zhang Liao saw that two ladders were smashed, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Put it again!" ”
Dozens of rolling stones fell, but this time they didn't smash the ladder, but only hit a few people, with little effect. Zhang Liao smashed his mouth twice dissatisfied, but he stopped everyone from continuing to let go of the rolling stones, because there were really not many of them.
Zhang Liao watched for a moment as more than a dozen ladders were erected under the wall that was no more than thirty zhang wide, and then shouted: "Throw it when you see it!" ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The grinding stone, the size of the grinding stone, was smashed again, and another ladder was smashed, and the soldiers on the eight ladders were smashed to the ground, looking like they were still convulsing. He was still alive, but he didn't know how long he would live, because the soldiers next to him just dragged him aside and climbed the ladder.
"Alright, get ready for battle!" Zhang Liao glanced at the remaining rolling stones, which were only enough for two at most, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The three hundred soldiers responded loudly, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
A trace of inexplicability flashed on Zhang Liao's face, before this, every time he gave an order, only the squadron leader around him usually answered, and the rest were silent. Although silence will put a huge pressure on the enemy, a kind of cold pressure, it always feels strange, and I don't feel the blood when I kill the enemy.
But it was Zhang Liao's previous actions that stirred up the cold killing intent in their hearts, not shouting, not enough to vent!
The high killing intent made the soldiers of the Yuan Army who were climbing the ladder feel cold inexplicably.
"Kill!"
Zhang Liao shouted violently, took the lead in attacking, and smashed the helmet and head of the Yuan army soldier who had just emerged with a knife.
"Kill!"
The three hundred soldiers also shouted, even if there were only less than ten people who attacked, it was an extraordinary shot, and the enemy's heads were cut off in an instant, and one corpse fell down.
Whoa, whoa......
One arrow after another struck at this time, Zhang Liao's pupils shrank sharply, and he shouted: "Be careful of the rain of arrows!" ”
Fortunately, there are still many shields that have not been let go, blocking a lot, plus these people are Gongsun Du's personal soldiers, who are equipped with the best Youzhou army, and their defense is excellent, but no one was shot, and only more than ten people were shot and wounded.
"Let the enemy come up!" Zhang Liao's eyes erupted with fire, and he could only order like this. But it was for the sake of mixing with the enemy and us, so that the enemy army had scruples and could not release the rain of arrows.
"Yes!" The rest of the people are all people who have been in the military for a long time, so they naturally understand the meaning and all agree. No one wants to die, after all, no matter how good the armor and equipment are, there will always be omissions, otherwise no one will be shot and injured.
Although Zhang Liao and the others had the intention to let the soldiers of the Yuan army go to the pass, they would not completely give up their defense, so that they could go to the pass without hindrance, and they still cut half of them, and the other half had to get above the pass.
Sure enough, after someone killed the pass, the rain of arrows stopped.
Outside the customs.
Ju Yi saw his subordinates kill the pass, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Quick, another thousand people, directly break through the Huguan." ”
Tian Feng on the side instinctively felt that it was not good, a few days ago, there was still a flanking attack by the Yuan army from the north, and it was difficult to get to the juncture, but today it was only a quarter of an hour to go up, no matter how you look at it, it is not normal. However, because there were not many people sent up, only a thousand people, they didn't say anything, just watched intently, hoping to find out that something was wrong first.
Zhang Liao saw another large army rushing at the juncture, his face sank, he retreated to the wall, and shouted down: "Send a hundred people to come up for reinforcements." ”
After shouting, Zhang Liao no longer paid attention to the pass, raised his knife to kill the Yuan soldiers who were close to the left, anyway, there is no arrow rain now, as long as it is stable, do not let the Yuan army completely break through the defense, disturb the wall, and hold on until dark.
The defense at the juncture was already unhindered, and Zhang Liao called another hundred people in case of emergency, after all, they safely blocked Ju Yi's increased offensive and made him return in vain.
Ju Yi, who was outside the gate, saw that the gate had not been broken for a long time, and was annoyed: "Where is the Euphorbia? ”
"The Euphorbia is here!"
Tian Feng was watching, he heard the shouting in his ear, and secretly screamed in his heart, so he hurriedly stopped: "General, no!" The general is the commander of the first army, and he has to take risks personally, if there is a case, this attack on the state will be a failure! ”
In fact, Tian Feng did not agree to attack Bingzhou, when he was under house arrest at home and got the news, he was ready to risk his life to admonish, but he was stopped by Chen Lin and others one step earlier, and persuaded him on the grounds that Gongsun Du in the north was in full swing and the situation in the south was complicated.
Now it seems that he should be persuaded, but Ju Yi doesn't care about this, and when he heard Tian Feng's persuasion, he paused, but said: "Since you can kill the juncture, either the defenders are insufficient, or you are afraid of the arrow array, and you can't break it for a long time, I think it's because ordinary sergeants are not their opponents, and they must be halberders." ”
"And the Euphorbia is trained by Ben, if Ben will not go out in person, how can he do it!"
Tian Feng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and he was still waiting to persuade him again, but Ju Yi had already left with a thousand halberders. Tian Feng could only sigh lightly, and ordered left and right: "All generals need to be careful and vigilant, and once there is a change, immediately step forward to meet General Ju in case of accidents." ”
"Yes, Strategist."
Hearing everyone's response, Tian Feng's heart was a little calmer, and he turned his gaze to the pot again, but his brows furrowed a little tighter.
Zhang Liao was killing the soldiers of the Yuan army who had come up at the juncture, when he suddenly heard the high-spirited shouting of killing under the pass, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he didn't leave his hand at the moment.
In three or five moves, he killed several people in front of him, and came to the edge of the wall in a few steps, looked outside the gate, and just saw Ju Yi with the halberd to kill the pass, wanting to climb the ladder.
"Not good!"
Zhang Liao snorted lightly and shouted: "Everyone hurry up and kill, the elite of the Yuan army is coming, don't let them go to the pass, otherwise there may be an accident." ”
"Kill~"
Hearing this, the hands of the pro-soldiers tightened, and they shouted loudly, and the knives were drawn much faster than before, and immediately half of the soldiers of the Yuan army had no time to react and were killed on the spot. Then the remaining dozens of Yuan soldiers reacted, and they also heard Zhang Liao's words, and understood that it was their own general's halberd soldiers who killed them, and they knew a lot about the halberd soldiers, so their morale was immediately boosted, and they fought back desperately.
It's just that the strength (and equipment) are too far apart, although they are all in the way, they still kill all the Yuan soldiers on the pass when Ju Yi and the halberd warriors are about to kill.
Zhang Liao saw that Guan Xia was about to go to the pass, and he slashed down with a knife.
Sonorous~
A string of sparks flashed at the battlement, but it was Ju Yi who took his knife with his knife.
Zhang Liao knew that at this time, perhaps the fierce general among the reinforcements, the main general of this attack, did not dare to despise it at the moment, and slashed it one after another.
After more than ten rounds in a row, Ju Yi still couldn't take the last step and hit the wall, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Zhang Liao also had a narrow battlement, and it was inconvenient to use it for a while, and he would not be able to take down the enemy general, so he wondered whether to put it up and fight again.
However, this thought was just a flash and was thrown away by Zhang Liao, not afraid of 10,000, just in case. Zhang Liao has followed Lu Bu for many years, and clearly realizes that although his martial arts are strong, he is definitely not invincible in the world.
On the contrary, Zhang Liao raised his spirit and tried to strengthen his attack, so that Ju Yi fell into disadvantage in an instant.
Ju Yi's heart immediately sank, and after a few more rounds, the anger in his heart rose, and after trying to block Zhang Liao's knife, he was about to jump to the juncture.
Zhang Liao was shocked when he saw this, pulled his wrist back, and then rushed forward with a knife, actually wanting to knock Ju Yi down.
Ju Yi didn't expect Zhang Liao to think of a way to deal with it so quickly, and couldn't help but be shocked, but he had nowhere to borrow his strength in the air, so he could only look ruthless, ignoring the long knife that attacked, and slashed at Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao's face froze, but he didn't mean to close the knife at all, he just stepped out quickly to the right in Ju Yi's surprised gaze, and then only heard a "bang", and hit Ju Yi in the chest fiercely.
Ju Yi only had time to hook a kick at the battlement, and then fell down.
"Bang~"
It was also Ju Yi's fate, although the kick was not completely hooked, but it was really timely, and part of the force was unloaded, and when he fell, he was not far from the ladder, and he directly smashed into a halberd on the ladder, and he fell on the ladder by luck. It's just that when Ju Yi stabilized and was ready to kill the general again, he saw Zhang Liao poke his head out and look at him, and then took it back.
Ju Yi's heart was not good, and he immediately saw a stone with two grinding discs smashed on his head. Ju Yi didn't have time to think about it, turned around, fell to the north of the ladder, and slid down.
Click~
The huge stones crushed the ladder, but fortunately, Ju Yi reacted quickly enough, and when he was only a few feet above the ground, he jumped down, and then rolled on the spot and dodged.
At this time, Ju Yi understood that what Tian Feng said was true, and he temporarily extinguished his intention to capture Huguan in one fell swoop, and withdrew his troops directly.
At noon, when Zhang Liao was planning the afternoon battle, reinforcements from the Youzhou Army arrived, although there were not many, but there were 1,500 people. The most important thing is that there are also a lot of supplies. In this way, Huguan is finally safe, but only last night sent people to ask for help, and the reinforcements and supplies arrived at noon today, which is really wrong.
When I inquired, I found out that it was ......
