Chapter 56: Zhuge Repeater

Ma Chao sat down on the belly of the war horse, the horse raised its front hooves and brought Ma Chao's position to a high place, and Ma Chao's spear suddenly shook and swooped down from a high place and stabbed straight at Chen Wu. This is Ma Chao's full blow, this move is called the tiger pounces on the sheep, Chen Wugang narrowly avoided Zhao Yun's killing move, Ma Chao's move suddenly attacked, Chen Wu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

Chen Wu was in a hurry, and clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse was caught by Chen Wu's huge force and sat on the ground. Ma Chao's shot went straight into the soil, and Chen Wu turned over and dismounted when Ma Chao pulled out his spear. Zhao Yun returned to the horse to kill again, Chen Wu had to fight with Zhao Yun on foot, and Chen Wu's situation was very dangerous.

"What kind of hero is more than less!" At this time, only a few shouts were heard, and Guan Hai, Xian Yudan, Zhou Tai and others would go out together to attack Zhao Yun and Ma Chao.

"Guan Hai is crazy, I'll meet you!" Zhang Ren urged the horse to come out to help in the battle, and Liao Hua, Wen Ping and other generals also followed, and for a while, it became a group of generals in a scuffle.

Seeing this scene, Han Xuan immediately pointed his sword and ordered the whole army to advance over. Liu Du then also commanded the whole army to attack, and the two armies fought fiercely.

In the end, Liu Dujun had just experienced the war, and the soldiers were tired, so Han Xuanjun had the upper hand. Chen Wu's personal soldiers brought him another war horse, and Chen Wu immediately led the Wudang army to rush left and right in Liu Du's army formation, as if entering a no-man's land.

Han Xuan commanded the armies to maintain the formation, dividing Liu Du's army into small battlefields, and in terms of the elite of the soldiers, Liu Du's army's combat effectiveness is currently unable to catch up with Han Xuan's army.

Fa Zheng saw that Liu Dujun was frustrated, and hurriedly said to Liu Du: "King, the situation is unfavorable to our army, it is better to withdraw the troops for the time being and then make plans." ”

Liu Du looked at the battlefield, and it was extremely unfavorable for him to fight any longer, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Han Xuan saw Liu Du's withdrawal and urged the army to bravely move forward to catch up, and the two armies fought for a while, and Liu Du's army was defeated. Liu Du had no choice but to retreat to the city to garrison, and Han Xuan led the army to the outside of the city, and ordered the army to set up camp outside the city, preparing to wait for the rear supplies to follow before attacking the city with all their might.

Liu Du was at a loss in the city, and Fa Zheng had nothing to do, Liu Du looked at Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, sulked, and sneered at the two: "What a Xiliang Jin Ma Chao, what a winning general!" With the strength of the two of you, you can't kill just one Chen Wu? Is it comparable to Lu Buhu? ”

"Chen Wushi is a martial arts wizard who has only been seen in his life!" Although Zhao Yun was a little ashamed, he was very sure of Chen Wu's strength.

Fa Zheng saw that Liu Du was very annoyed, and persuaded him: "Don't worry, the king is not in a hurry, Han Xuan is only Chen Wu alone, but the king has two tiger generals, Zilong and Meng Qi." And the two generals were careless for a while, so that Chen Wu escaped by luck, and he was not killed in battle. ”

Liu Du let out a long sigh, but at this time, he saw the guards outside the door report that Yizhou had sent someone to come. Liu Duling invited in, and it turned out that the person who came was Ma Yan. When Liu Du saw him, he connected him with the paper-talking Ma Tan in the Lost Street Pavilion, and asked casually: "Why did you come here?" ”

Ma Tan replied with a smile: "Zhuge military division in Yizhou has expected that the king's departure this time will be blocked, and he has specially ordered a certain person to sacrifice something for the king to break the enemy!" ”

"Oh? Zhuge has a plan to break the enemy? Liu Du was overjoyed when he heard this, and stood up with a pat on his thigh and asked.

"If the king obtains this, he will be able to repel the enemy. Please also take a look! Ma Tan looked arrogant, but Liu Du was very curious about what he said to break the enemy.

As soon as Liu Du entered the arsenal, he saw that a crossbow machine was piled up all over the warehouse, and on the other side was the crossbow arrows used by this crossbow machine. Liu Du saw that this kind of crossbow machine was very large and could not be used by a single soldier, and it was invented by Zhuge Liang, so he asked Ma Jian in surprise: "Young Chang?" Could this crossbow be Zhuge Repeater? ”

This time, Ma Tan was puzzled: "What does the king mean 'Zhuge Repeater'?" This crossbow Zhuge military division has been named 'Yuan Rong crossbow', which is Zhuge military division combined with the length of Qin Lian's crossbow and his wife to jointly develop. ”

Liu Du touched a Zhuge repeater and asked Ma Yan: "Since it came from the hands of Zhuge military advisors, Lone gave it the name 'Zhuge Repeater', but this Zhuge repeater is really amazing?" ”

Ma Yan replied with a smile: "This crossbow is far ten times better than the previous generation of crossbows, and it can fire ten arrows at a time!" As early as when the king led the army out of Sichuan, Zhuge had ordered all counties in Yizhou to collect iron tools from folk blacksmith workshops and cast arrows with iron. Today, 150,000 arrows have been made, and Zhuge military division has specially ordered them to be escorted here. The king imagined that these 150,000 arrows poured into the Jiangdong soldiers, and he could only be defeated if he was brave and brave! ”

"Zhuge Kongming is really a genius! Hahaha! Liu Du raised his head and laughed, and ordered the army to quietly transport the Zhuge Repeater to the city wall, waiting for the Jiangdong Army to attack on a large scale before showing this killer feature.

Under the city, Han Xuan ordered Chen Wu, Zhou Tai, and Xian Yu Dan to surround the city gates in the southeast and west, and ordered Xian Yu Dan to lead 10,000 elites to attack from the west gate. Xian Yu Dan is not more famous than Chen Wu and Zhou Tai, and Han Xuan makes him more surprising when he is the main attack.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the siege battle, the defenders of Ximen, who were relatively weakly defended, were fiercely attacked by Xian Yudan, and Han Xuan's army killed the city wall several times. Seeing this scene, Xian Yudan was in good spirits, and he was grateful that in the presence of Chen Wu and Zhou Tai, the two famous generals, Han Xuanneng trusted him so much and let him show his skills.

"I am Xian Yu Dan will fight today to make a name for myself and revive the glory of my Xian Yu family!" Xian Yudan pulled out his sword and came to the front of the battle to supervise the battle in person, and the siege soldiers saw their general standing behind them with a big sword, where did they dare to take a step back?

Xian Yu Danbu's fierce offensive shocked Liu Du, who commanded the defense of each gate, and Liu Du then ordered the transfer of one hundred Zhuge crossbows to the West Gate. Han Xuanjun, who was like being beaten with chicken blood, just rushed to the city wall, but saw that the enemy army in the city suddenly added a crossbow machine, Xian Yudan didn't care, and still supervised the battle in front of the battle.

Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows fell from the city, covering the entire sky. The wails under the city resounded in all directions, and every second, Jiangdong soldiers fell on the way to charge.

Xian Yu Dan ordered the shield soldiers to form a shield array, and advanced side by side to escort the siege soldiers to the city wall. But Liu Dujun's Zhuge crossbow in the city did not give them the slightest respite, and the shield soldiers were shot into a sieve by the crossbow arrows from the left and right before they could form a military formation.

The Jiangdong army could not advance an inch, and many newly recruited soldiers had to become deserters in order to survive, and the fleeing Jiangdong army suddenly became a mess, although Xian Yudan killed dozens of soldiers who fled backwards, but still could not stop the rout of the siege soldiers.

"General, there are too many crossbow arrows from the enemy army in the city, and our archers can't suppress them at all! Withdraw, General! Xian Yudan's lieutenant general persuaded.

"Gather all our trebuchets and bed crossbows and suppress the defenders on this enemy tower! Ordered all my subordinates to abandon their swords and hold heavy shields in formation, and I personally led the troops to attack the city! Xian Yudan put on another layer of armor, and his subordinates held shields to form a hemisphere, blocking the arrows from all directions. Finally, Xian Yudan slowly approached the city wall under the heavy cover of the heavy shield soldiers.

The defenders in the city soon discovered Xian Yu Dan and guessed that it might be an enemy general in his array, so almost all of the Zhuge crossbows were aimed at Xian Yu Dan's shield array. A volley of fires passed, and the crossbow bolts bounced off the iron shield, making a rapid exchange of sounds.

Although this shield array greatly reduced the casualties of Xian Yu Dan's own soldiers, there were still arrows that came in through the gaps and killed many soldiers. The shooting interval of Zhuge Repeater's crossbow was very short, and Liu Dujun's arrows seemed to be inexhaustible, which made Xian Yudan very distressed. At this time, if the shield array is opened and the ladder is erected, the group of them will have to give all the explanations here.

Xian Yudan asked his subordinates to blow their horns and ordered the trebuchets in the distance to attack together and suppress the crossbows in the city. It's just that this trebuchet is hugely powerful, and the accuracy is a little poor, and many stone bullets fell into Xian Yu Dan's shield array, injuring his own people by mistake.

But he finally suppressed the defenders on this enemy tower, and Xian Yudan took the opportunity to disperse the shield array at this time and set up this flying ladder. Xian Yudan took the lead with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and led his soldiers to climb the city wall.

The handover between the two armies set off a rain of blood in the city. Zhang Ren, the guard of the West Gate, heard that the enemy army had attacked the city, and hurriedly rushed to block it in person. When Zhang Ren arrived, Xian Yudan was bloodily killing, and when he saw Zhang Ren, he immediately raised his big knife and rushed over. Zhang Ren would not be stupid enough to fight him to the death, so he ordered the archers around him to shoot a volley of arrows, and shot Xian Yudan to the city in an instant.

Han Xuanzheng was shocked that Liu Du had few soldiers, why did he resist so stubbornly, but he saw urgent reports coming from all around. Zhou Tai and Chen Wubu suffered heavy losses, the defenders of the West Gate were defeated on all fronts, and the general Xian Yu Dan died in battle!

"How so!" This result was something Han Xuan never expected, but he had to face this cruel truth.
