Chapter 446: Liang has a plan
"Puffleb!"
Guan Yu's face turned even redder (angry), turned around and shouted: "Prepare the horse quickly, take my Qinglong Yanyue Knife, I will kill Lu Bu!" β
"General Guan, Lu Bu is brave and invincible." Zhou Cang Road.
"Yes, father."
Guan Yu's righteous son Guan Ping also said: "The military advisor has repeatedly told you that without his orders, you must not open the city. β
Guan Yu stroked his long beard, looked at Lu Bu again, gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill this man sooner or later!" The soldiers who are guarding the city are ordered to be on guard according to my previous arrangement. β
"No."
Guan Yu didn't reply to Lu Bu's words.
Zhang Ren raised his spear and shouted: "The lord has an order, attack the city immediately!" β
Knock knock
The drums resounded across the battlefield.
Three thousand sword and shield bearers and two thousand crossbowmen carried ladders and pontoon bridges to approach Jiameng Pass.
Zhang Ren stood in front of the battle, constantly cheering up the soldiers, and instructed the crossbowmen to approach the moat to cover the besieging soldiers. However, the soldiers under his command were so poorly equipped that the range of bows and arrows was less than eighty paces.
Those with little strength can't shoot on the towers of the city.
This caused the besieging soldiers to fall one by one.
Lu Bu watched from behind, his heart was like a cat scratching, and he called urgently: "Han Xin." β
"Yes."
"Quickly send two regiments and shoot on the north bank of the moat to cover the besieging soldiers. Strive to help them climb the tower in the shortest possible time! β
"No."
Han Shin went to transfer troops.
The 1st Division under his command was the best equipped and the most combat-effective. The armies held by them all had a range of 1,000 meters. Even with a shot shot (rice-shaped iron ball), it is possible to shoot 300 meters.
Such a distance is enough to cover the entire castle tower.
Han Xinqin led the 8th and 9th regiments to the moat and participated in the battle strongly.
Bang bang bang
A dense rain of bullets struck the towers to suppress the enemy's attacks.
Zhang Ren led the army to take advantage of the situation to attack the city.
The tide of battle turned in an instant!
Many soldiers took advantage of the opportunity to climb the tower.
But
This kind of combat method has been used many times, and Guan Yu is fully prepared.
He sent out a large number of shield-bearers and placed their shields horizontally on the piers of the wall. As soon as the soldiers had finished releasing their arrows, they retracted. The soldiers defending the city also wore masks to withstand the attacks of scattered bullets.
At first, Han Shin didn't pay attention.
Fighting and fighting, it was found that the soldiers besieging the city suffered heavy casualties.
Take a closer look
The scattered bullets that were as dense as a spider's web were blocked by the shields and iron masks on the castle towers, and the enemy was rarely injured. Zhang Ren's soldiers climbed up and were met with a strong counterattack.
"Don't use scattered bullets, use live ammunition instead!" Han Shin said to the soldiers around him.
Live ammunition is farther and more powerful than scattered projectiles.
But there is also a disadvantage, that is, the density is not large. Soldiers are required to have extremely accurate marksmanship in order to hit the enemy. This did not stop Han Xin's 1st Division, because the 1st Division, which had undergone strict training, did not have bad marksmanship.
Bang bang bang
Small assault rifles and large assault rifles were all replaced with live ammunition.
Hit the enemy's visor with a deafening sound. Although they did not penetrate the masks, the strong shock force caused them to injure their faces and even faint from the impact.
Clang!
Guan Yu also walked out with a mask, wanting to see the situation outside. A live bullet hit him in the face, and he only felt that his whole head was buzzing, and he couldn't even tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
"This is"
"General, they've switched to live ammunition." Zhou Cang's eyes were very good, and he reported to Guan Yu after discovering it.
Guan Yu retracted back into the cave and quickly took off his mask.
Zhou Cang followed up and said, "General, your face"
"What's wrong with my face?" Guan Yu hurriedly touched it with his hand, and stroked his foot-length beard again.
"It seems to be swollen"
The corners of Guan Yu's mouth twitched a few times, and he clenched his fists and said: "Pass my general order, pour the prepared fire oil, ignite them with rockets, and burn them to death!" β
"No."
Zhou Cang quickly went to prepare.
Then, more than a dozen barrels of fire oil fell down the ladder.
Smelling the smell of fire oil, the besieging soldiers were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and most of them turned around and ran away.
Zhang Ren still wondered, the siege of the city was good, why did they all escape from the battle?
Just when he was puzzled, he wanted to send someone to inquire, but he saw a fire burning outside the city. The fire was so great that it covered the entire battlefield. The wooden ladders, surrounded by fire, also fell apart and fell off the towers.
"Again?"
Seeing the flames, Lu Bu ran out of the car with some anger.
Xu Shu rode on a horse, stood aside, and said: "It's a pity that the Shu road is difficult, and there is no pumping machine, otherwise the water of the moat can be extinguished in an instant." β
"yes"
Lu Bu also sighed a little.
If Liu Bei was at war in the Central Plains, all the equipment would be used, and the baggage, grain and grass, and artillery would all be transported by trucks along the official roads, and there would be a steady stream of them, and with the combat effectiveness of the new army, Liu Bei would have been eliminated long ago!
What Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are not worth mentioning in front of tens of thousands of artillery.
"My lord, the troops besieging the city have suffered heavy casualties, so let them retreat." Xu Shu admonished.
"Okay, give the order to withdraw the troops and fight again tomorrow." Lu Bu retracted into the car.
"No."
Xu Shu passed the order.
Zhang Ren's tens of thousands of troops hurriedly retreated.
The team retreated across the line.
Guan Yu was afraid of Han Xin's new army, and he didn't dare to chase and kill.
He returned to the city and reported to Zhuge Liang: "Military division, the enemy army has retreated. β
"It's an enemy who retreats with oil, right?" Zhuge Liang stroked the qin and sat alone, with a smile on his face.
"Yes."
Zhuge Liang said: "Although fire oil is a sharp weapon to retreat from the enemy, it must not be used for a long time. When Lu Bu comes to attack the city again, he must be prepared. We have to come up with a new way to give Lu Bu a head-on blow. β
Guan Yu said: "What the military advisor said is extremely true. But apart from fire oil, what else can suppress Lu Bu's new army? β
"Absolutely!"
Zhuge Liang stopped what he was doing and said confidently: "I prepared a big gift for Lu Bu, and when he comes to attack the city again, you do what I tell you to do, and you will win!" β
"What's the plan?"
"Can't say it now"
Zhuge Liang always likes to play mysterious, and Guan Yu has become accustomed to it. He didn't ask too much, and said with anticipation: "The last general is willing to listen to the dispatch of the military division and attack Lu Bu!" β
"Hmm."
After LΓΌ Bu's army withdrew, he returned to the camp.
Zhang Ren was recruited.
Lu Bu said: "I have seen your performance before Jia Mengguan. I am touched by your sincerity in surrendering and helping me to conquer the city. I will crown you as the general of Zhengnan, and your authority is second only to Xiang Yu. I hope you will make persistent efforts to help me capture Jiameng Pass as soon as possible. β
"The last general will thank the lord."
Zhang Ren was extremely moved.
Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "You go first, and appease the soldiers well." Wait for tomorrow to attack the city. β
"No."
Zhang Ren left the account.
Li Cunxiao came in front and back, glanced at Zhang Ren's departing back, and said to Lu Bu: "Big brother, why didn't you kill him?" β
