Chapter 277: Wet Wipes

Before Tian Xin attacked, he climbed a four-zhang high watchtower made of bamboo and wood.

You can cross the Wei army's two-zhang high earthen fortress Great Wall and see the layout behind the city wall.

An earthen hut should have been built behind the city wall to store equipment and rest for the soldiers, and now there should be a large number of Wei soldiers hiding in the earthen huts behind the wall to wait for the battle.

Tian Xin turned his head sideways and said to Xiahou Lan, who was guarding here and commanding the whole army: "Old general, our army only has the power of one blow, and Zhang Liao will have spare strength to counterattack our army." ”

Xia Houlan did not refute, the siege plan had been formulated, and Xia Houlan's only role here was to give orders according to the plan, and according to the dynamic changes of the battlefield, the teams that were ready were sent out.

The offensive order of each team cannot be chaotic, only with the permission of Xia Houlan here, all departments and teams can act according to the predetermined plan, respond before and after, take care of each other, and cooperate with each other.

Tian Xin squinted: "The original plan will not be changed!" ”

There is no need to change it, and the lime bullet can play a miraculous effect in this battle, if Zhang Liao is left behind, it will not be a loss.

Xiahou Lan coughed dryly a few times, but only bowed slightly.

As long as he doesn't panic and issues permission to attack the various ministries in an orderly manner, then the various ministries can be connected with each other.

As long as the West Gate is breached, all parts will pour in, and they will attack and assault again according to the predetermined plan, even if Xiahoulan completes his mission.

Tian Xin slid down the bamboo ladder, reached out to grab the pen by the side of the paperwork, and wrote on a scattered bamboo slip: "Crystal mirror, charcoal dust net." ”

wrote these six words, and handed the bamboo slip to Li Heng, who came up: "Carry it closely, give it to me after the war." ”

"Yes!"

Tian Xin then pulled down the eagle's beak mask, stretched out his hands, and the guards put on the chain mail iron gloves and fastened the belt buckle.

He pulled up the Fang Tian halberd on the ground, raised his right arm and held it horizontally, looked up at the blue sky at noon, and shouted with all his might: "The sky is above!" Long live our army! ”

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

From the middle to the two wings of the Han army array, regardless of whether it is a soldier or a sergeant, or whether it is the Beifu soldiers or the two front army departments, they all shouted endlessly.

The Yangwu Army, which was responsible for guarding the wounded barracks and equipment, was arranged in the Chinese army array, Meng Da drew his sword in his hand, raised his arms and carried the sword with the surrounding officials shouting, shouting, and venting all kinds of emotions.

His mind was burning, and the moment was pure and simple, satisfied with simplicity and rejoicing at satisfaction.

20,000 soldiers gathered here, and the cry was like a landslide and a tsunami.

Round after round, in the continuous mountain shouts, the morale of the Han army burned, so that the Wei army's crossbowmen were also confused.

Le Qi and Zhang Hu guarded the east and west sections of the city wall, and at the west gate, Zhang Liao was also short of breath and waved his arms: "Drumming!" Beat the drums! ”

In the sound of the mountain, Tian Xin strode in front of the cloud car passage, and the thirteen cloud cars behind him were lined up one after another, slowly advancing from the gap in the bamboo beam shield formation, pushed by the armor.

A succession of crossbow arrows clanged at Tian Xin's chest, abdomen, legs, shoulders and arms, or face, all of which were bounced off by the waist-light armor polished like a mirror.

Tian Xin got out of the way and stood in front of the bamboo shield array, nailed there like a mountain.

He looked at where Zhang Liao was, and the pawnman on the front personally picked up a crossbow and aimed at Tian Xin to deduct his hair.

Tian Xin stood still, and this arrow fell on the bamboo shield beside Tian Xin, but more arrows fell on Tian Xin's body, and they all broke or bounced off.

When the ladder siege vehicles approached the trench, the Wei crossbowmen could no longer care about Tian Xin and began to shoot the thirteen ladder vehicles nearby.

"Quick! Ascend to the city! ”

In the earthen houses behind the city wall, countless Wei troops poured out, and climbed the steps to the city wall.

The bales of straw stored on the city wall were also set on fire at this moment, and one after another they were thrown down and thrown on the attack route of the cloud chariot.

Zhang Liao nervously watched the two ballista phalanxes of the Han army, and Xiahou Lan was also watching the more and more Wei soldiers gathered on the city wall, and he smiled: "Drums!" ”

The sound of the drum is the order, the ballista array is the first to return fire, a hundred ballista for an attack batch, take turns to fire, as the crossbow bolts break through the air to the north, bags of lime also spread out from the top of the Wei army's head, falling.

"Don't panic! The reckless slash! ”

"Water! Wet wipes to cover your face! ”

The drums on the city walls immediately dispersed, and the drummers were required to wear wet wipes.

Fortunately, there were water tanks all over the city wall, and these drummers beat the drums alternately, and like most of the officials, quickly took out cloth towels and wet them to cover their mouths and noses.

Dianman was no exception, with a thick muslin wipe tied to his face, staring wide-eyed at the rounds of powder packets scattered above his head, watching the white smoke and dust gradually fall.

The Han army cart in the front row lowered his head and pushed the cart, his face covered with a dry cloth; The rear gradually moved to the rushing array behind the bamboo beam shield array, and the crossbowmen who were ready to attack under the bamboo shed, all bowed their heads at this moment.

Only the military officials nervously observed the top of their heads, and it was inevitable that the powder packets that accidentally fell on the top of their heads.

The Wei army city wall is two zhang high and three zhang wide...... Lime powder is a face kill, and there is a surplus of power against the Wei army that is arranged in a linear formation and defended, and too much lime powder falls in the open space.

Even so, it could not stop 500 ballistas from being put into the market, each with five bales, two thousand eight hundred bales before and after, and 5,600 catties of lime powder packets.

The entire line of sight has been obscured by white dust, and the sound of his own drums suddenly overshadowed the Wei army in an instant, and the drums and trumpets of the Wei army could not be heard.

Tian Xin faintly heard the noisy and dense screams in front of him, and the Wei army in front of him fell from the head of the city one after another, and was lucky enough to fall and be injured, and if he was unlucky, he fell on the wooden thorns arranged by the Wei army himself, or fell on the burning bales of straw.

The inside of the bale was splashed with grease, and in an instant it became a burning man, running and rolling in a panic, and screaming after stepping on traps and wooden thorns.

He subconsciously wiped his eyelids with wet wipes, and smeared the ash powder stuck around the eyelids into his eyes, which was even more burning and painful.

How much lime dust can really fall into the eyes?

Didn't you wipe it in when you wiped your face and eyes with your hands?

The more you wipe your face, the more you run, the more lime dust you will be contaminated, the more people will run, the military officials will be too busy to restrain themselves, and they will fry the pot instantly, and the people who originally escaped the catastrophe are also contaminated with lime dust in the chaos, and they subconsciously quickly wipe their faces, and they also follow the stroke.

Zhou Cang's mouth was half-open, and he couldn't see anything clearly through the smoke, but he also knew that the Wei army was finished.

It seems that there is no need for Beifu soldiers, and any army that comes here can take advantage of the situation to take the city!

The Han army armor soldiers carried the bamboo bundle and long shield and slowly advanced, and the heavy armor forked hands stepped on the bamboo board to cross the trench, and used the fork to pick up the grass bundle and clear the cloud ladder passage.

These armor soldiers wrapped their faces in dry cloth and covered their heads to clear obstacles.

The ballista array overhead was still throwing lime, like an insecticide to mosquitoes and flies, and the Wei army on the city wall that did not want to die retreated to the north.

Zhang Liao was no exception, he was dragged and carried by Hu Benlang's personal soldiers, and carried to the north.

It's over, and the Wankou defense line, which took more than a year, is completely finished.

Zhang Liao's left eye burned, and he endured the discomfort and covered it with his hand: "Withdraw!" Order the armies to retreat! ”

Having recognized the lime, Zhang Liao was helped to get on the horse, and he pointed to the white smoke that filled the sky above the West Gate: "In the next battle, I will teach the enemy army to know that this thing is powerful!" Evacuate! ”

Tian Xin silently counted the rhythm of his drums, and the rhythm was the same, indicating that there was no Wei army attacking and disturbing the troops on the left and right, and the order of attack was the same as before.

"Woo! Whining! ”

The long and sharp turn and high-pitched horn sounded, Tian Xin raised his head slightly and saw that the heading cloud car was about to be set up, and the soldiers of the various battalions rushing in the rear cheered and charged.

More than a dozen of Tian Xin's personal soldiers rushed forward, stepping on the slope of the ladder and rushing to the empty city wall.

At this time, the city wall seemed to be shrouded in white mist, but this white mist was a little choking.

Some Wei soldiers were still rolling with their eyes covered, and the Han soldiers who were captured and tied to the head of the city also had stinging eyes.

Tian Xin ascended the city, and he could see the escape trajectory of the Wei army beyond the faint smoke and dust, and reached out to take off the wet cloth towel from the face of a Wei soldier who had fainted from the stampede.

A little water, and it's not that there is water in the eyes, why did the Wei army suddenly collapse?

The collapse was faster than I imagined and expected, and I didn't even react to it.

Zhang Liao also ran, ran away with the elite of the department, and exposed his hole cards, no matter how you look at it, it seems that he has lost.

must chase, even if Zhang Liao has a trap, he must break one of Zhang Liao's arms!
