The Xiliang army has been blocked here for many days, and the grain and grass they bring are not much, so they have spent countless manpower and material resources, and they have also made enemies with Lu Bu, who has always been repaired. Therefore, Ma Chao strictly ordered the army to step up the siege of the city, be sure to take Hangu Pass before dark today, as long as Hangu Pass is broken, after a horse Pingchuan, Xiliang Iron Cavalry can go straight to Luoyang, and then enter the Central Plains.

The resistance encountered in Hangu Pass was something that Ma Chao had not expected before, although he had long known that Hangu Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was a man who could not open the pass, so Ma Chao did not rush into the army, but prepared enough engineering equipment, and gathered 50,000 elite men and horses, before launching a sudden attack on Hangu Pass.

Unexpectedly, in the small pass, the defenders were only 2,000 people, and they were so rooted in it, refusing to retreat even half a step, relying on the dangerous pass of Gaocheng, causing huge casualties to the Xiliang army. Of course, the casualties of the defending soldiers are also predictable, which is why Ma Chao suffered huge injuries and still strictly ordered the siege of the city.

The general in charge of the siege of the city is the prestigious general Pang De, Pang De has been crisscrossing Liangzhou for many years, and Ma Chao has conquered the Qiang people and recovered the Hetao region, and was once listed by Lu Bu as a general of Fenwu.

But even though Pang De has rich experience in siege, there is no way to do it under this Hangu Pass, and he can only watch thousands of Liangzhou warriors throw their bodies under the treacherous city pass.

At first, it was because they underestimated the enemy, because they had not fought against Lu Bu's army for many years, and they did not expect the firepower of the defending city to be so fierce. Dozens of huge god-breaking crossbows were erected at the head of the city, and after a volley, the dense siege echelon under the city was almost wiped out, and hundreds of Xiliang warriors were reduced to severed limbs and wrecked bodies in the snap of their fingers, which only made Pang De, who was pressing the formation behind, tremble.

The power of the giant crossbow is terrifying, and the soldiers of Liangzhou have been hit hard, how will they fight in the future? After that, Pound mobilized the catapult and concentrated firepower, with the primary task of destroying the god-breaking crossbow above the city pass first. Although the god-breaking crossbow is hidden behind the female wall, it is not easy to be hit by the stone-throwing, but the god-breaking crossbow is really huge, how much it is in a conspicuous position, after several rounds of stone-throwing, after all, most of it has become broken, and there is no chance to exert its might.

When the Xiliang army thought that the giant crossbow at the head of the city had been cleared, the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted, and thousands of people raised their strength again, and once again launched an attack on the city pass.

But the war is still not as smooth as Pang De expected, although the defenders of the city will be few, but they are all gathered on the city pass, without the reliance of the god-breaking crossbow, they all took out their own standard short crossbow salvo, the short crossbow is small and capable, can fire five arrows at a time, has a unique advantage in speed, the power of two thousand short crossbows in unison, enough to cause tens of thousands of bows and arrows composed of arrow rain, the damage caused to the siege echelon, and the previous god-breaking crossbow is not much better, and even more terrifying.

Only then did Pang De realize that Lu Bu's army was able to storm the city and conquer the invincible territory, it was by no means caused by luck Such a fierce and unrivaled offensive was not caused by luck, and how could ordinary soldiers and generals be able to resist it, only 2,000 people had such an offensive, if tens of thousands of people formed an attack array, what kind of power would it be? Tens of thousands of people are invincible! This was Pound's final conclusion on the crossbow army of the state.

After countless reckless onslaughts, the bow and arrow firepower at the head of the city was finally greatly weakened, which was the result of countless people in exchange for their lives, Pound certainly would not let the soldiers who had fought bravely before die in vain, and immediately gathered the troops and horses, and launched the most fierce attack since the siege.

"General, the horse thief is brave, and he can't retreat."

The little man is the youngest soldier in this team, and at this moment, looking at the Xiliang soldiers who are densely climbing towards the city, even if he has experienced such battles several times, he still can't help but feel numb.

"Whatever you panic about, whatever you have in your hand, just beckon them to their heads." The big head scolded angrily.

The Broken God Crossbow has long been extinguished, such a huge and stout arrow is not a standing ordnance, the number of stored is really limited, after this half a month of endless consumption, it has long been used up, even if the Xiliang Army did not destroy most of the Broken God Crossbow, the Hangu Pass defenders did not have extra arrows to launch, at this time, the Broken God Crossbow, there were only a few empty shelves left, deterring the Xiliang army under the city.

The decrease in the number of people greatly weakened the firepower of the city's head, and countless Xiliang soldiers climbed the city wall like locusts, and several places had been broken by the enemy.

Deng Ai and others have been trapped here for many days, and their bold words have already been said countless times, and at this time it is time to die, and they can't care about anything else, as the first barrier of Luoyang City, as the strongest corps of the Han Dynasty, for the trust of the King of Jin, Deng Ai must not just hand over Hangu Pass to the enemy, unless he passes on his corpse.

"Everyone, the king of Jin asks for my life, bless you and my father, over the years, we have received countless favors, today is the time for me to repay the favor with death, I am in the city, the city is broken, and I die!"

"I'm in the city, and I'm dead when the city is broken!"

Hundreds of people's blood surged, and the blood on their faces was mixed with snow, condensing into brown blood stains, pasting on everyone's faces, the clothes and armor on their bodies were already soaked, but the heavy snow showed no signs of wanting to stop. The black stone stove used for heating at the head of the city had long been smashed to pieces, and none of them could be preserved intact, and the charcoal fire in it was extinguished in the snow.

But even so, the biting cold wind and snow still can't extinguish the fiery pride in everyone's hearts, and now it's time for the enemy to rush to the city, and it is the time for our generation of men to show their skills!

Hundreds of people left their short crossbows in their hands, and all of them were replaced with stainless steel long swords, which is the standard configuration of elite infantry, and it has been proved in countless previous battles that the steel long swords in the hands of everyone are enough to form an absolute suppression of the enemy, and the countless victories of the vanguard battalion with less are the best proof.

The defenders here are not enough to be equipped with such good weapons, but they can't withstand the trust of General Wei Xushen's Lu Bu, and his brother Wei Yue is a pivotal figure in Lu Bu's army, so it can be said that it is not too difficult to get such a benefit.

"Kill!"

Hundreds of people were all in high spirits, seriously emitting red light, like hundreds of hungry wolves, but they regarded the dozens of Xiliang troops who rushed to the city as a delicious dinner, and rushed up, cutting them into mashed meat in an instant.

It's not that the Xiliang army is weak, but the weapons in their hands are really vulnerable, and it is difficult to parry at all, and many of them are defeated with one blow.

"General, the city pass is treacherous, the enemy army is still fighting, and it is difficult for our army to take it for a while, so let's retreat first and then prepare, if it goes on like this, the casualties are too much." General Zuo persuaded Pound Dao bitterly.

"Whew!" Boom!"

The long sword was unsheathed, the head fell to the ground, and Zuo would die without blinking his eyes.

"Whoever messes with our army's heart again will end up like this. The whole army has it, give me a storm, at all costs, be sure to take it for me before dark! Pound's sword was rippling with blood, and he had a determined expression. He had made a military order here, boasting that he would break through Hangu Pass in three days, and now it has been more than half a month, but Hangu Pass is still standing still, which makes him embarrassed and how to explain to his own general Ma Chao.

At present, there are only a few hundred people left in Hangu Pass, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow, if you don't make a move, when Luoyang's reinforcements arrive, there will be no chance, and all the previous efforts will come to naught.

Therefore, he could only recklessly order the storming of Hangu Pass.
