The Zhongshan soldiers in the city began to launch a counterattack regardless of life and death. But ordinary bows and arrows can't reach the enemy's Poxi army at all, and there are only ten big crossbows in the city, after all, this thing is too cumbersome and difficult to build, and the price is too expensive. However, with these ten bed crossbows, how can they suppress the enemy's three thousand dexterous bed crossbows. Sima Li found that with his tall walls, he had suffered more casualties than the attacking enemy.

"Move the second team to the city, and bring more door panels." Sima Li gave a decisive order. The shield was small and thin, and only the heavy door panels could withstand the attacks of enemy catapults and bed crossbows.

While the city was being taken by surprise and confused, there were already enemy soldiers rushing to the city, "blocking them, killing them, driving them off the city." Sima Li gave the order in a hoarse voice.

The soldiers of Zhongshan were also not afraid of death, they held bronze swords and spears, and killed those enemies who rushed up.

The enemies who rushed up were extremely agile, and the ring knives that grew in their hands were half a foot longer than the bronze swords in the hands of the Zhongshan soldiers, which was an advantage, and the greater advantage was that the slashing of the sword was more powerful than the straight stab of the sword. The ring hand knife roared and slashed, and the Zhongshan soldiers raised their swords to block, but, the huge potential energy, coupled with the sharp clamping steel, broke the fragile bronze swords in batches, and the knife momentum did not decrease, directly splitting the enemy in half.

And Chang Ge stabbed at the enemy, often blocked by the entire iron plate plate on the enemy's chest. Then the enemy's ring hand knife slashed out again, the spear broke, and rushed forward, which was a one-sided slaughter for the spearmen who could not defend themselves.

Iron sword and iron plate armor, this kind of equipment advantage, Zhongshan people often have to kill an enemy who rushes up, at least two or three soldiers' lives.

Sima Li's eyes were red with blood, and he desperately filled the wider and wider gap with batches of soldiers, and those soldiers who kicked the city first opened up a foothold for the soldiers who kicked the city later, and a steady stream of follow-up soldiers turned over the city, and the small pass had actually fallen.

Seeing that the enemy's position at the head of the city is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more enemies climbing up the city, and under the enemy's superior equipment, the casualties of their own soldiers are increasing exponentially. Sima Li made a decisive decision to abandon the small pass.

When Sima Li rode on his war horse and looked back at the last of the soldiers who had been left behind, when there were fewer and fewer of the city's heads, he beat his horse and rushed out of the south gate of the small pass with 15,000 soldiers without looking back.

He did not flee in embarrassment, he did not admit his defeat, because he thought that he was caught off guard by the enemy, and he took the initiative to abandon the city pass when he was not familiar with the enemy's attack methods to avoid greater losses.

"I still have 45,000 soldiers, I still have the fortified city of the Zuoren, I will come up with a way to deal with your sharp weapons, let's fight a real offensive and defensive battle with the Zuoren."

Standing on the city wall of the small pass, stepping on the flowing blood, looking at the army rumbling through the gate under his feet, Zhao Xing proudly said to Xu Jie, who was following him: "This is the power of science and technology." Now, you won't complain about the huge amount of money I spent on the Hundred Skill Palace, and you won't be saddened by the countless money I spent on the Pop Xi Army. For the record of winning a Xiongguan with only 3,000 soldiers, the money is worth it. Then he muttered to himself: "I know the formula of gunpowder, and I know how to make it." But it's a pity that the disciples of the Mo family can't find sulfur, and saltpeter can't be stored, and even if they find sulfur, they can't pass the purification pass, and the gunpowder created is just a puff of black smoke, and it can't do anything. Then he shook his head painfully: "Later generation technology, in this era without foundation, can only be YY and the shadow in the water glass, and there is no use for fart." It seems that we still have to be down-to-earth and follow the rules of this era. ”

Xu Jie didn't care about Zhao Xing's pride, anyway, he spent his own money, and continued to report the results: "In a battle, five thousand enemies were destroyed, and the captured grain and grass could be eaten for at least half a year." ”

Zhao Xing didn't listen to his results, because to him, this capture was nothing, and he ordered: "Order the whole army to scavenge all the bronzes, bronzes, and all these bronze weapons in the city, including this bronze arrowhead." All of them were shipped back to the Daiyi Mint, and I hope that the raw materials seized this time and the money minted will be enough to cover the expenses I have incurred since this expedition. ”

Zhao Hao and Le Yi went to the city side by side, and Zhao Hao requested: "Lord, we should pursue the enemy, and take advantage of the enemy's defeat and depression and unstable foothold, and take the Zuoren City, which will be the result with half the effort." ”

Zhao Xing didn't need to answer him, and looked at Le Yi. Le Yi did not hesitate to refute his second brother's suggestion: "The enemy is not defeated, but because of our unexpected equipment, so that they are not suitable and choose to avoid our edge, so, we ignore the tired pursuit of the south, to the left, we will face the enemy who is waiting for work." ”

Zhao Xing nodded, that's why among the famous generals of the Warring States, Le Yi was ranked in front of Zhao Hao. The Seven Realms

"Le Yi is right, in order to prevent us from being tired and waiting for the Zuoren, I ordered the army to rest here for three days before attacking the Zuoren City."

Zhao Hao was unwilling, but still asked for his life: "Then at least let my left army pursue and oppress the enemy, so that he can't prepare for war with peace of mind." ”

This is the desire to win, and it is also to try it with his brother Le Yi. Although it is said that a trough can't tie two donkeys, but if they are tied together, there will be competition, and the competition is good.

Xu Jie stood up and said to Zhao Xing: "It is also feasible to let the second general attack. ”

Zhao Xing asked, "What do you say?" ”

Xu Jie suggested: "Let the second general attack instead of pursuit, it is to ask the second general to raid Danqiu with light cavalry, and then watch Danqiu, and then divide the army to kill Quyang." ”

Zhao Hao suddenly said: "Force Sima Li to divide his troops." ”

Xu Jie clapped his hands: "It's still the second general who is smart, and he can see through it at all." ”

Zhao Xing also nodded and praised Xu Jie's clever plan: "Sima Li always has 50,000 soldiers, and I have destroyed 5,000 here, and the remaining 45,000 are all shrinking to the left, and they want to fight a war of attrition with me on the left." However, war is a game of twisting, for partiality is not. Since Sima Li did this, our Zhao Hao's left army raided Danqiu, and asked Sima Li to divide one army to rescue, and then divide one army to invade Quyang, and Sima Li had to save again. In this way, I took 20,000 Chinese troops and 10,000 Poxi troops to block Sima Li's left army, Zhao Hao forced the enemy to divide the army, and then Le Yi's right army maneuvered. ”

Le Yi stepped forward to receive the order.

"What will the third brother do?" Zhao Hao was a little reckless, at best, it was Zhao Hao who was honest and honest, and his head did not turn. This matter still needs Le Yi to take the lead, and his character is cunning and cunning.

Le Yi said: "If Sima Li divides the troops to rescue Danqiu, I will join forces with the left army to annihilate them, if Sima Li divides the troops more, I will ask the second brother to divide the troops to Quyang, force Sima Li to divide the troops again, and then we choose to annihilate them one by one." ”

Zhao Xinghuan clapped his hands: "Sure enough, he is a handsome talent, quick decision, and clever brain, this point, second brother, you are not as good as our third brother." Then he patted Le Yi on the shoulder: "Okay, just follow this tune." But in the end, how to come, your brothers will discuss it, and you don't have to ask me for everything. ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and then took orders together, but Le Yi still quietly took a step back behind Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao felt it, laughed and patted Le Yi's shoulder: "Third brother doesn't have to be like this, the plan is yours, this operation, brother, I will listen to you." ”

Le Yi hurriedly saluted: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Zhao Xing played a round game: "They are all kissing brothers, whoever listens to whom is not finished, let's do this." Then he commanded the two: "You go now, dispatch Sima Li first, I will point south in three days, and we will let Sima Li be in a hurry." ”
