Chapter 187: The Bloody Battle of Tongguan (1)

In front of Tongguan, Caesar looked at the dangerous Xiongguan not far away, and made up his mind that no matter how much he paid, he would take down Tongguan. This dangerous pass, the surrounding mountains and mountains, peaks and peaks, deep valleys and cliffs, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, and there is a narrow sheep intestine path in the middle, and only one car and one horse can be allowed to go back and forth.

When he carved up the territory of the Tianxing Empire with Xianbei Hu, why didn't he think of asking for this dangerous pass, otherwise, he could directly enter Yongzhou and not have to face this dangerous pass. But things have come to this point, and he has to face this danger.

It has been two or three days since he led the army here, and after his observation in the past two or three days, this Tongguan surnamed "Bai" is by no means an ordinary person! The defenders of the city are well equipped and have strong morale, although there are only 5,000 defenders, but in the face of his 200,000 army, they do not show any timidity, and they can indeed be regarded as an elite. Coupled with the danger of this Tongguan, its effect is no less than that of a hundred thousand troops.

But what can this be, since the attack on Yuguan, his orc warriors have not been able to meet their opponents on land, and there is only a dead end to stop them.

Caesar said majestically, "Badles, order your department to be the striker and take the lead in attacking Tongguan!" ”

"Yes!" Behind Caesar, a rather majestic man walked out, he drew his sword, and roared, "Brothers, attack with me!" ”

The next moment, more than 5,000 orcs with an exceptionally strong physique, wearing heavy iron armor all over their bodies, holding battle axes in their hands, and carrying cloud ladders, lined up in a neat military formation and slowly advanced towards Tongguan.

At the head of Tongguan City, Bai Qi looked at the orcs attacking them, and said to Jia Xu beside him, "I heard that Caesar has a hoplite under him who is wearing heavy armor and holding a heavy axe, specializing in attacking the city. Today, I finally saw it in vain, very majestic, very magnificent! ”

"Truly spectacular! Such heavy infantry soldiers, used to attack cities and plunder land, are indeed indestructible and invincible. General, since they did it, we should do it too! Xianbeihu and the Yucang Federation are already in place, and only a letter from us is needed, you see, this pigeon should be released. ”

"Then there is Mr. Lauja!"

Jia Xu arched his hand towards Bai Qi and retreated from the city.

After Jia Xu left, Bai did the chair that was newly assigned to the army recently. Although the function of this chair is the same as that of the Hu bed, it has added a backrest compared to the Hu bed, which is more humane.

Closing his eyes, Bai Qi said coldly, "Let's start!" ”

Yingbu, who was standing beside him, nodded, looked at the orcs attacking them, and ordered, "Order, the orcs will report the number every fifty steps forward, and the soldiers will report the number." When you reach three hundred paces, report to me. ”

The herald waved a flag and conveyed Yingbu's orders.

"No!" The scouts looked at the orcs who were coming at them, and began to count "eight hundred steps, seven hundred and fifty steps, seven hundred steps, six hundred and fifty steps, six hundred steps...... General, three hundred steps! ”

"Hit, catapult, launch!"

"No!"

The command flag waved, and the three catapults lined up under the wall began to throw stone projectiles at the orcs approaching Tongguan.

Huge rocks fell from the sky, and the advancing orcs had no place to dodge, and were instantly smashed into flesh.

"Steady, keep going!" The orc general Badles was calm, unfazed by the huge stone that fell from the sky. The orcs under his command continued to advance towards the head of Tongguan City, just like him.

"Keep throwing stone projectiles, don't stop!" Seeing that the orc army was unmoved, Yingbu was still unhurried and gave orders.

"General, it's almost two hundred steps!"

At this time, Yingbuhaha laughed, "Brothers, have you ever seen a porcupine in the past! ”

"No!" The soldiers chimed in.

"I haven't either, well, I'll take a look at it today, what that porcupine looks like!"

"No!" "Good!" …… The sound of harmony spread among the soldiers of the Fourth Legion.

At two hundred paces, under the orc's feet, the ground suddenly caved down, and a huge pit appeared, and countless iron thorns were densely buried in the pit. The orcs who fell down were pierced by the iron one after another. Seeing this, Bardeles, who was walking in the middle of the team, led the team to retreat one after another, not daring to take a step forward again. If you go up again, the dead will be too much to lose.

Yingbu looked at this scene and couldn't help sneering, "These are specially prepared for you. This hollowed-out ground, if it is lightly equipped, hundreds of people can step on it without incident. But hoplites like you, it doesn't take dozens of men to make you fall. These iron thorns can directly pierce the iron armor on your body. This is what we have carefully verified. ”

"Brethren, is the porcupine good-looking?"

"Beautiful! General, but I still can't enjoy it! ”

"There's no way around that, the orcs retreat. This porcupine will never be seen again! ”

Badles retreated with his army, knelt down in front of Caesar, bowed his head and pleaded guilty, "My king, the last general is incompetent and has failed to take the city, please forgive my king." ”

"General, please get up!" Caesar muttered, "This is not the general's sin, but the opponent is too vicious and cunning to lay such a trap in such a dangerous place, and it is not worth it if my orc warriors die under such a trap." It seems that they have been preparing for a long time! ”

Caesar looked at the generals around him and asked, "Generals, what is your plan to teach this king?" ”

Brutus was the first to stand up, clasping his fists and saying, "My king, you can dig the earth and pour it into a sack." Fill it slowly with sacks, and by tomorrow, the road to the Tongguan city wall can be filled. ”

"Well, the general is worthy of being an expert in defense, so do as you say, and you will be fully responsible for this matter. Tomorrow, I will see a road leading to Tongguan. ”

"Yes!" Brutus clenched his fists and saluted, then turned and retreated.

On top of the wall, Yingbu bent down and said respectfully to Bai Qi, "General, the orcs have retreated!" ”

Bai Qi opened his eyes, glanced down, and said slowly, "It's just a temporary retreat, if my expectations are correct, they must want to dig and fill the pit." Order, if the beast men approach, catapults and crossbows are fired in unison to repel them. If you are still an ironclad foot soldier, the stone thrower will not stop, and the bow and crossbow will symbolically shoot a few arrows. If you want to get to the gate, at least tomorrow!

Well, I'll go down first, and I'll take the remaining five thousand brethren to take your place in the evening." ”

"Yes!"

Patting Yingbu on the shoulder, Bai Qi stretched his waist and walked down the tower. Halfway through, he bumped into Jia Xu with a red face.

"Sir, is it done?"

"That's it! Now, I want Caesar to taste what it means to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. By the way, Mr. just missed watching the porcupine. Why don't you get up at night and look at the mud pig? ”

"What is a porcupine, and what is a mud pig?"

Bai Qi leaned into Jia Xu's ear and said, "The porcupine is the ......, and the mud pig is the ......."

"Hahahaha!" When Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Then tomorrow, won't you be able to see the sauce pig and the roast suckling pig." ”

"Sauce pig and roast suckling pig?" Bai Qi was stunned, and then understood, isn't it a sauce pig covered in blood, isn't it a roast suckling pig when it's roasted by fire, this is really an image.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll see the sauce pig and the roast suckling pig. Then, sir, let's go down here, and we'll have Yingbu on it. ”

"Very good, Admiral, please!"

"Please!"

Outside Tongguan, an army of 200,000 orcs was in full swing digging and bagging soil. Bags of dirt were carried to the depression, but what awaited them was the sharp arrows and ruthless stone bullets of the Qin army.

Rows and rows of orcs fell on the way to fill the pit, and the beastmaster Caesar saw this, and immediately brought up the hoplites. In this way, although the catapult can still cause casualties to the heavy infantry, after all, the Qin army only has three catapults, and the casualties against the orcs are not great. So, the orcs' heavily armored foot soldiers worked very hard to carry the mud bags and fill the pit.

The mud and sweat were mixed together and stuck to the armor, isn't this what Bai Qi said about the mud pig!
