Chapter 3 146 Wu is not afraid of death
"Rush up to the car, bow and arrow, suppress the enemy's attack, attack" The next morning, the general was released, and Zhang He commanded the troops to launch an attack on Yangping Pass
"Raise the shield and crossbow, fire the oil and prepare the stone," Guan Zheng ordered loudly as he hid behind the female wall and held a shield over his head
Hearing the order, the sword and shield soldiers stepped forward and erected shields in the recesses of the battlements to reduce the damage of the enemy's arrows to the defenders, while the soldiers with crossbows took advantage of the limited gap between the shields and the battlements to fire crossbows to the city
"Don't be afraid, hurry up and rush over and break through the gate with a rushing car," Zhang He saw his soldiers hesitating in the face of the enemy's crossbow arrows, and shouted loudly
"The commander of the enemy army is coming," the general of the pass guard bent down and came to Guan Zheng's side, and pointed to the next of the pass
The thick log of the water tank was cut into a conical shape at one end, and was tied and fastened to a wooden frame with four wheels, and the wooden frame was covered with thick cowhide, shielding the soldiers who were hiding in the cart below, and the arrows rushing towards the cart made a creaking sound, and step by step approached the gate, and the cluster of arrows shot from the gate was either bounced off by the cowhide or nailed to it
Cao Jun under the cowhide gritted his teeth and pushed the cart violently, they didn't dare to look up to check the enemy's attack, and they didn't have time to check how many arrows the enemy had shot
"Ignite the oil in the tank, and when they come, smash it down," Guan Zheng wiped the sweat from his face and ordered the general
Guan Zheng had long expected that if Cao Jun wanted to break the door, he would definitely get on the rushing car, so he had already purchased countless half-man-high vats from Sichuan before he sent troops, and the army carried more than 100 cars with hot oil, plus the inventory of Yangping Pass, which was enough to fight a large-scale offensive and defensive battle with the enemy
"Ignition" watched the car get closer and closer, and the general hurriedly ordered the soldiers to ignite the cylinders of fire oil that had been prepared for a long time
After the oil in the vat was ignited, there was a thick smoke and a dark red flame, and the temperature around it instantly rose a lot
"Rush, bang" Holding the wooden pole with the thickness of his arm, Colonel Cao Jun moved forward with all his strength, and ordered loudly in his mouth
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, bang", there was a screeching sound from the rushing car, and the cone slammed into the gate of Yangping Pass, making a bang
As soon as the general defending the city saw that the rushing car had arrived, he waved his hand, and several soldiers were there to quickly pull up the noose on the tripod, and the noose moved rapidly on the wooden wheel, and soon he was full of strength and hoisted the full tank of burning oil off the ground
"Turn" is another order, the soldiers heard the order, and hurriedly turned the tripod in a different direction, turned the vat away from the city, and hung it above the rushing car
"Put" blurted out with a word, and several defenders loosened the rope in their hands
"Whoosh, whoosh" vat filled with the burning oil accurately smashed on the rushing car, and the scattered fire oil immediately formed a sea of fire more than a foot high under the city gate
"Don't look at it, don't look at one or two collisions," Colonel Cao Jun, who led the rushing car, endured the burning sensation on his body and shouted to the soldiers around him, at this time, he had to lead the soldiers to the dark, and there was nowhere to retreat from the fire in all directions, so he had to gamble to see if he could knock the city gate open before the fire burned the rushing car
"Lord Captain, are we going to die here?" there was a Cao Bing who couldn't hold back after all, and asked the little school with a crying voice
"Ah," the colonel looked back and touched the soldier's fire-scorched hair, and sighed, then pulled out his waist and stabbed him in the abdomen
"If you retreat, you will definitely die, and you may still be able to live, and then there will be those who disturb the morale of the army to kill," the colonel gently put the soldier's body to the ground, got up and yelled at dozens of comrades behind him
"One-two-hit, one-two-hit," the colonel turned around and continued to shout the trumpet, directing the soldiers to push the rushing car
"Pick up and turn" collided a few times, and Cao Bing, who was rushing into the car, heard the sound of closing the defenders in his ears again
"Boom" this time, the cowhide covering the roof of the car could not stop the big tank, just in the middle of the big hole was broken a big opening, the big tank tilted along the broken opening, smashed in, scattered and splashed oil soon turned Cao Bing on both sides of the car into a burning man
"Eha", the Cao soldiers were eroded by the fire, rolling back and forth on the ground, and screams came out of their mouths
"It's time to die, and the brethren get up and hit him," said the colonel, who had already become a burning man, and still endured the pain, holding the horizontal bar and screaming at the soldiers behind him
"One-two-hit-one-two...... Hit the "Colonel," more and more of the fire men stood up behind the little school, and they lay on the bar in front of them, and pushed forward one after another as the little school gradually faintly shouted
"Long live the King of Wei," the colonel led the soldiers to bump into each other a few times, and suddenly straightened up, yelling, and there was no more life
"Bump, bump, brother, the captain is dead, and we won't survive," Cao Bing was on fire with his mouth and nose, but he was still roaring there
The car moved again, as the flames swept and raged, it finally stopped, and then "qualied" and dispersed, and dozens of burned corpses could be vaguely seen in the flames, they maintained a bent and hunched posture, lying on the ground, as if trying to push the car to crash open the city gate
"Hey," Guan Zheng sighed as he looked at the fire and the corpses of those Cao soldiers
"Du Du" had a personal guard hand over a bag of clear water, and looked at Guan Zheng without saying anything
"It's okay, it's okay," Guan Zheng took the water bladder and took a sip with his back against the battlements, and said with some interest
"Die as you deserve, die as you deserve, brothers have seen it, attack the whole army, attack and take Yangping Pass, and avenge them," Zhang He hugged his fist at the city gate, saluted, and then turned around and shouted at the soldiers under his command with red eyes
"Revenge, revenge" Cao Jun's soldiers were red-eyed, and at this moment they no longer had the thought of life and death in their minds, and there was only one thought that was hovering there, that is, to lay down Yangping Pass to avenge the brothers who died in battle
"The whole army is attacking", Zhang He turned around, took the big sword from the flag officer, roared, and took the lead in rushing towards Yangping Pass under the escort of his own soldiers
The generals of the "attack" department saw that Zhang He had all gone up, and each commanded his subordinates, and they followed closely behind the windy Daxu and rushed forward
"All the way, all the way", all of a sudden, the war drums outside Yangping Pass shook the sky
"Woo...... Woo "Yangping Pass, the defenders blew the horn and went toe-for-tat
