Occupying the mountain has become a luxury, such a terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the other party can also send men and horses up the mountain through elevators from the rear, not to mention that the Xiliang army itself is not good at mountain warfare, that kind of terrain, attacking the mountain is not much easier than attacking Yangping Pass, so early the next morning, Ma Chao directly waved his troops to attack Yangping Pass.

The sound of fighting began at dawn, and after two days of rectification, the morale of the Xiliang army has improved a lot, and with the corresponding countermeasures, the deterrent effect caused by the stone bullets thrown by the stone throwing vehicle will not directly collapse the morale.

The cold arrow cluster with the scream of death, on the battlefield that is not spacious, forming a dense dark cloud, overwhelming in the air for a short time, and then falling to the battlefield of both sides, Ma Chao even set up archers on the mountain walls on both sides, constantly releasing arrows in the direction of the city wall.

Wei Yan was not to be outdone, the city wall was already extremely wide, Liu Yi later specially thickened it, rows of archers lined up on the city wall, and the dougong was arranged with archers, without using the crossbow of the broken army, the offensive was not weaker than the Xiliang army, and it took advantage of the city wall, and the Xiliang army attacking the city was faintly suppressed.

After the clash of archers, it is a short encounter, at this time the advantage of the city wall comes out, rolling wood and stones, the open space under the city wall, a morning is full of corpses of the Xiliang army, occasionally brave the arrow and stone rush up, will be quickly hanged.

Such a fierce battle lasted for a whole day, and there was already a river of blood up and down the city wall, seeing the sun setting westward, Ma Chao looked at the unbreakable city wall, gritted his teeth and launched the last wave of charge.

Wei Yan licked the bloody long knife, the smile on his face was a little hideous, looking at the Xiliang Army surging like a tide, he slowly raised his arm: "Break the army crossbow, prepare!" ”

"Whoa!" The adjutant general had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and the ten broken army crossbows quickly adjusted the direction, just waiting for the Xiliang army to approach again.

The dense clusters of arrows converged in the air again, the Xiliang army in front had already touched the city wall, and the sound of the battle became fierce again, Wei Yan had a little excitement in his eyes, seeing a large number of Xiliang troops pressing up, his raised arm slashed down fiercely: "Release!" ”

"Crunch~"

In the midst of a dull sound, the Broken Army Crossbow, which had been introduced two years earlier, showed its power on the battlefield for the first time, and three hundred and sixty crossbow arrows were fired almost simultaneously at the bottom of the city walls.

The cold arrow cluster with a strong impact force in the air with a terrible scream, but in an instant it disappeared into the Xiliang army formation, the attacking Xiliang army did not even understand what was happening, close to the direction of the city, a piece of the Xiliang army began to fall to the ground, the fragile wooden shield did not provide an effective defense, the cold arrow cluster easily pierced through the wooden shield, in the stunned gaze of the shield-wielding soldiers, pierced their bodies.

The terrible screams and panicked screams overshadowed the fighting sound on the battlefield in an instant, and many of the Xiliang troops who were not within the attack range of the broken army crossbow subconsciously followed the prestige, and the fear filled the heart at that moment, and there were not many casualties, but in such a narrow battlefield, the formation of the Xiliang army seemed to be directly emptied of a small piece, within the attack range of the broken army crossbow, it was either dead or disabled, the dead were unlucky, but the living were even more unlucky, the arrow cluster of the broken army crossbow did not have a long range, but the strength in a short distance was extremely terrifying, The penetrating power brought by it is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, even if it is only an arrow in the sole of the foot, it is directly nailed to the ground, and the unlucky ones are hit by several arrows in succession, and they have not been shot to the point, and they are nailed to the ground like a fish falling on the shore, twitching desperately, and their mouths let out heart-rending screams.

In just an instant, the battlefield turned into a human purgatory.

"Click~"

Because it is not like Yueyang City, there is sufficient water power, so the Yangping Pass's broken crossbow is refilled by manpower, can not be fired continuously, and the filling is more time-consuming, open the crossbow box, take out the empty arrow box, add a new arrow box and aim the arrow cluster at the crossbow groove, and then close, and then pull the winch, pull the crossbow string foot, this process, it takes half an hour of time.

However, the offensive of the Xiliang army, with the first bombardment, was slammed, the Xiliang army in the rear has begun to retreat, and the offensive of the Xiliang army attacking the city is also much slower, Wei Yan took the opportunity to order people to quickly release arrows, in order to expand the deterrent power brought by the crossbow of the broken army to the maximum, and at the same time let the deputy continue to command, go down to the city by himself, and order a group of men, just wait for the collapse of the Xiliang army, and then kill out of the city to pursue while the victory is over.

Ma Chao watched the battle in the Chinese army, and naturally saw that the soldiers in the front row fell in pieces at that moment, although he didn't understand what happened, but the change in the offensive was discovered.

"What happened!?" Ma Chao asked with a frown while ordering the supervising team to step forward and kill the Xiliang army who wanted to flee on the spot.

Just as he was wondering, the broken army crossbow on the city wall had been replaced with crossbow arrows, and the cluster of arrows was poured again.

This time, Ma Chao saw it clearly, at that moment, dozens of hundreds of people didn't even have the strength to resist, so they were shot directly to the ground, and the Xiliang army that escaped around began to retreat frantically, even if the supervising team stepped forward to kill the deserters, these Xiliang troops even did not hesitate to attack the supervising team, and the besieging troops had also begun to retreat, and there was no military order to retreat, which was a trout.

"What's that!?" Ma Chao pointed in the direction of the broken army crossbow, and he didn't have time to worry about anything, the power of the broken army crossbow, not to mention ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that if Ma Chao, who was fully armoured, was locked by the crossbow arrow, there was no possibility of survival, his scalp was numb for a while, and he looked around and asked.

A group of Xiliang soldiers have never seen such a sharp weapon, and they shook their heads blankly, Pang De was still clear, and said to Ma Chao: "Lord, withdraw the army quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

The closed city gate of Yangping Pass has been opened, and the drawbridge has begun to fall slowly, obviously the other party is ready to counterattack, and the morale of the Xiliang army has begun to collapse at this time, and the other party has grasped the timing very accurately!

A fierce light flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, in the past few days, he didn't want the other party to be able to go out of the city to fight, but at this moment, when Wei Yan really went out of the city, Ma Chao didn't have the slightest joy, with the current situation, it was impossible for his own army to organize an effective counterattack, let alone a field battle between the two armies.

"Hum ~" At this time, the crossbow of the broken army was powerful for the third time, the morale of the Xiliang army was completely defeated, and the frenzied retreat to the rear, at this moment, the city gate was opened, Wei Yan took the lead, led the men and horses to kill and galloped out, chasing the defeated Xiliang army is a ferocious slashing.

"Mingjin!" The two words almost burst out from between Ma Chao's teeth, even if he was fighting with Cao Jun, Ma Chao had never been so aggrieved.

It's just that Ma Chao wants to withdraw, where is Wei Yan willing to let go, such an opportunity is not common, and he personally led two thousand soldiers to rush out, chasing the Xiliang army is a fierce killing.

"Look for death!" Ma Chao was already about to collect his troops and return to the camp, seeing that Wei Yan was chasing after him, the fierce light in his eyes was even worse, so he suddenly pulled the reins of the horse and turned his head to look at Wei Yan.

"Lord!" Pang De stepped forward and said: "The lord retreats first, and let the last general lead the army to break off!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Ma Chao turned the horse's head and shouted: "If you don't kill this thief today, it will be difficult to calm the anger in my chest!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, seeing that the chaotic soldiers in front of him were like headless flies, and his original intact formation was also disrupted, and he couldn't suppress the depression in his chest, and he let out a long howl from the sky, and the roar went straight to the sky, which actually suppressed the noisy battlefield.

It is also miraculous to say, those Xiliang troops who were running in a panic and rushed to hear Ma Chao's howl, they gradually stabilized, seeing Ma Chao rushing towards him, he quickly made way of a passage, and the fleeing soldiers no longer fled, but turned around to fight with the Shu army that chased them.

Not in Xiliang, no one can understand the influence of General Shenweitian on the battlefield, at this moment, seeing Ma Chao in person, those Xiliang troops who were originally like sheep turned into a vicious wolf in the blink of an eye, closely following behind Ma Chao.

Wei Yanzheng was about to commit suicide, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and the Xiliang army around him suddenly became violent, and at the same time, he also saw the generals who rushed straight towards him in the chaos of the army.

Ma Chao?

Although he had never met, at this moment, Wei Yan was extremely sure that the person in front of him was Ma Chao, who was known as the Shenwei Heavenly General in Xiliang, a cold air rose from his spine and quickly spread to the whole body, and he had not yet fought each other, but Ma Chao's momentum already made people feel out of breath.

What's worse is that the Xiliang Army, which was reawakened by Ma Chao and the wildness in his heart, fought back, and instantly became extremely fierce, although the Shu Army has been trained in the military camp for several months, but on the battlefield, many times it is not only physical fitness, but more importantly, momentum, if the Shu Army is compared to a cow, then the Xiliang Army at this moment is a hungry wolf, they may not be as strong as the cow, powerful, but more ferocious than the cow, the kind of ferocity that drags the enemy together even if he dies, is not something that can be trained in the barracks.

After a moment of stalemate, there was already a rout, looking at Ma Chao who was rushing towards him, Wei Yan gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and withdrew towards Guannei.

It's not that he's afraid, but as the chief general of the three armies, Wei Yan doesn't dare and can't fight hard at the moment, the Shu army is obviously not the opponent of these Xiliang troops in the field, if he dies here, then Yangping Pass will be in danger.

"Where to go!" Ma Chao saw that Wei Yan was about to withdraw before he could fight, where was he willing to let go, he took off a throwing gun from the horse's back with his backhand, and threw it towards Wei Yan with his shaking hand.

Wei Yan heard the horse's super loud drink, panicked, and hurriedly lay on the horse's back, and the spear slashed over Wei Yan's head with a sharp whistling sound, piercing the horse's neck.

Sigh law ~

In a mournful roar, the war horse fell to the ground, Wei Yan pressed the horse's back, slid forward for a distance, stood up embarrassed, dragged the knife and left, Ma Chao wanted to chase and kill, but there was a Shu army in front of him, the angry Ma Chao picked up his spear and rushed left and right to kill, the Shu army that killed directly was killed by the Xiliang army, and was killed by the Xiliang army that followed, and killed until the city, seeing that the broken army crossbow was aimed at himself, Ma Chao stopped the pursuit, looked at the slowly closed city gate, raised the spear, and the Xiliang army slowly retreated......
