In the early morning of the next day, the shouts of killing sounded again outside Huangyang Pass.

Unlike the last hasty attack, this time Murong Chui was fully prepared, and all kinds of siege equipment were available.

"Catapult ready." Su Bubei ordered: "Let ...... go"

"Boom!" The abandoned stones fell heavily on the city wall, and the rubble flew all over the place for a while, so that many Yong soldiers defending the city were injured by the rubble.

"Brother Tang, the Xirong thieves have used catapults, and the threat to us is too great." Li Wu ran to Tang Bi and said.

"Well, it's not close, it's seven hundred steps." Tang Biyan said.

"Do you want to use the bed crossbow to shoot it?"

"Okay, it's better to be able to destroy it directly." Tang Bidao; "Li Wu, this matter will be handed over to you."

"No! Commanded by humility. After Li Wu received the order, he immediately went to make arrangements.

"All octagonal crossbows ready." Li Wu ordered: "Aim at the enemy catapult and shoot freely." ”

The bed crossbowmen aimed at the catapult and began to fire arrows, in order to achieve enough power, all the octagonal crossbows used all the large crossbow arrows, but because of the distance, although the range and power of the large crossbow arrows were sufficient, but the accuracy was very poor, and the hit rate was less than one-tenth.

"Boom." A large crossbow arrow directly hit a catapult, and the huge kinetic energy of the large crossbow arrow directly knocked the catapult over.

"The foot soldiers are in formation, the sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the archers are behind; Offensive. "Don't do it and order.

Without a quick order, the Xirong soldiers began to push the arrow tower, battering ram, rushing car, ladder, nest car and other siege equipment to slowly advance forward, although the advance speed was a little slower, but due to the protection of the skin rushing car, the casualties of the Xirong army were not particularly large.

An attacking Xijon soldier is pushing the battering ram on the side! Suddenly, the soles of his feet were empty, 'Ah! A scream came, and the soldier fell into a trap, and the bottom of the trap was filled with sharp pieces of bamboo, which penetrated directly into the soles of the soldier's feet, and blood gushed out from the wound; Scenes like this can be seen everywhere on this battlefield.

Although people did not fall into some traps, the wheels of the siege vehicles were trapped, and the siege vehicles could be seen everywhere; The Xijon army had to pay the price of blood for every step forward, and it didn't take long for corpses to spread all over the field.

"Crossbowman, ...... arrows"

The whole battle lasted from early morning to evening, and when the sun set, the blood-soaked field and the sunset reflected each other, and it was impossible to distinguish for a while, which was heaven and earth.

The North Town Guard.

"The last general, Tang Bi, see the lord." Tang Bi, who was covered in blood, came in panting and reporting.

Guo Qi was not affected by Tang Bi, he still waved the brush and wrote attentively, and said while writing: "Get up!" How's the war going? ”

"My lord, today we repelled 13 attacks by the Xirong army, killing and wounding tens of thousands of enemy troops, and our army killed and wounded more than 6,000 people......" Tang Bi reported to Guo Qiyu one by one.

When Tang Bi finished reporting the report, the brush in Guo Qi's hand also stopped, and he saw Guo Qi write the word 'victory' on the proclamation; although there were only two words, but from these two words there was a solemn momentum.

"Follow the king to the city." Guo Qi put down the brush in his hand and said.

"No! Lord please. ”

Accompanied by Tang Bi, Guo Qi left the town guard mansion and went to the west city wall to inspect; Many places near the West City had now been smashed into ruins by catapults, some flames were still burning, and everywhere you could see the soldiers who were snuggled together and resting, and these soldiers who were covered in blood were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to go to the camp.

"Tang Bi, immediately send someone to send the brothers back to the camp to rest and prepare hot meals and hot dishes." Guo Qi commanded.

"Don't worry, the end will be arranged immediately."

"Let's go to the city walls." Guo Qi then said.

The city wall is no longer as majestic as it used to be, there are blood stains and broken bricks and stones everywhere, the corpses of the Yongjun soldiers who died in battle and the corpses of the Xirong soldiers who were killed on the city wall can be seen everywhere, Qingzhuang is carrying down the corpses of his own people, they will be cremated tonight, and they will be sent back to the martyrs' shrine in Yongcheng one after another; As for the corpses of the soldiers of Xirong, they were thrown directly under the city wall.

At this time, under the root of the city wall outside the city, the corpses of the Xirong army were piled up one foot high, and they were all stoned to death by thunder stones or yaksha and wolf teeth when they were climbing the city wall.

Standing on the city wall and looking west, siege equipment such as building cars and rushing cars abandoned by the Xirong army abound; The smell of blood emanating from the battlefield filled the air, and several crows circled in the sky, constantly emitting "Wow, wow!" The cry was particularly desolate.

"My lord, it's cold; You'd better go back first! After standing at the head of the city for a while, Tang Bi reminded Guo Qi.

"Is the Xijon Army here to clean up the corpses?" Guo Qi asked suddenly.

Tang Bi was stunned for a moment and replied, "Lord Yu, most of these are slave soldiers in the Xirong army, I'm afraid they won't come to collect the corpses." ”

"Since they don't want it, let them play a little warm-up again!" After Guo Qi finished speaking, he motioned for Tang Bi to come over; Guo Qi said a few words in Tang Bi's ear.

Tang Bi was shocked when he heard this: "Lord, I'm afraid it's against heaven and earth to do this!" ”

"On the battlefield, I cheat, either he dies or I die, and I don't care what violates the peace of heaven; Do as the king says. Guo Qi said decisively.

"No! The last general will immediately send someone to set it up. Tang Bi ordered.

"Go ahead! This king is here alone for a while. ”

"The last will be retired."

——————

Ten miles outside the city, the camp of the Xirong army.

"Marshal, today our army suffered more than 12,000 casualties, and lost seven catapults; Thirty-seven siege equipment such as building cars, rushing cars, and rushing ladders......" reported one by one.

"I didn't expect that with the assistance of these siege equipment, our army would suffer such heavy losses." Murong frowned and said.

"Marshal, the losses of our army are mainly caused by the bow and crossbow of the Yongjun army, and the bow and crossbow used by the Yongjun army are far superior to ours in terms of range and power; Especially the bed crossbow, the last general found that the range of the largest bed crossbow used by the Yongjun army reached an astonishing 1,500 steps. Geer Qi said.

"Fifteen hundred steps, Geer Qi, you are not wrong!" Murong Trai said in disbelief.

"The reason why the last general is not wrong is that he can reach 1,500 steps is because when the general came down from the battlefield today, he found that a bed crossbow arrow of the Yongjun army was missed, and it was not blocked by anything......"

"Where's the crossbow arrow, bring it to me and take a look." Murong Chui said.

After the crossbow arrow was brought over, Murong Chui looked at Yan and said, "This crossbow arrow is actually heavier than the crossbow arrow we use, it seems that the key is not in the crossbow arrow, but in the bed crossbow." ”

Originally, Murong Chui thought that the reason why Yongjun shot so far was because of what he did on the crossbow arrows, and the choice was not solid wood but hollow bamboo, although the big crossbow arrows made of hollow bamboo shot far enough, but the power was insufficient.
