When Long Jun saw so many Han troops nearby, his first reaction was to turn around and run back.

But when they turned their heads, they suddenly found that a large number of Han troops appeared at the head of the city, with lamp balls and torches, and bright pine trees, illuminating the city and the city as bright as day.

The Han army at the head of the city, headed by a general, is the sacrifice of Zun.

He held a long knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "The sacrifice is here, and the next road is not passable!" ”

No matter how stupid and stupid the soldiers of the Long Army were, they also understood at this time that they had fallen into the ambush circle of the Han army.

However, they couldn't understand that the Han guards they killed just now were genuine, flesh-and-blood real people, not scarecrows.

In order to lure them into the bait, the Han army actually pushed out such soldiers to send them to death?

This doesn't make sense.

The officers and soldiers in the army are all brothers in the same comrades, even if they are high-level generals, it is impossible to send some soldiers casually, let them be bait, to send them to death, no matter who dares to do this, it will greatly damage the prestige.

Among the Long army, the generals led by him immediately made a decision and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to attack the city wall and withdraw from Luoyang!" ”

There is no need to think about the city gate here, there are so many stones blocked here, the city gate cannot be opened in a short time, and their only way to retreat is to return the same way.

Under the command of this general, the Long army reacted quickly, and immediately the rear team marched forward, intending to rush up the steps and rush up the city wall.

On the Han army's side, the speed of response was also fast, a row of Han troops stood at the top of the steps, each holding a heavy shield more than half a person high in their hands, forming a shield wall, blocking the entrance of the steps.

At the same time, the Han army on the city, and even on the rooftops and streets, either shot bows and arrows.

The soldiers of the Long army did not carry shields, and now they were trapped under the city walls, which was equivalent to completely exposing them to the arrows of the Han army.

The soldiers of the Long army on the periphery screamed and were knocked to the ground one after another, some of them had several arrows stuck in their bodies, and some people had more than a dozen arrows stuck in their bodies, or even dozens of arrows, and they were shot like hedgehogs.

Of course, the soldiers of the Long army would not sit still, and people picked up their crossbows and fired crossbow arrows at the Han troops around them.

However, the Han army has long been on guard, and the Han army on the periphery is all holding down the position with heavy shields, even the Han troops behind the heavy shields are all holding shields.

The shields of the Han army were all improvised patchwork, not to mention how strong, and most of them were thin layers of wooden planks.

Such a shield, if it is facing a rhubarb crossbow, is an ornament, and the rhubarb crossbow can shoot through it with a single arrow.

But the soldiers of the Long Army did not use a rhubarb crossbow, but a repeating crossbow.

The crossbow box of the repeater is equipped with ten crossbow arrows, which can shoot ten crossbow arrows in one go, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, it lacks strength, and the power is far less powerful than the rhubarb crossbow.

The crossbow arrows of the repeater shot at the plank, which could not be pierced at all, but could only be nailed to it.

The arrows of both sides continued, and the arrows of the Han army were nailed to the crowd of the Long army, and the arrows of the Long army were mostly blocked by the shields of the Han army, and the arrows of the two sides were fired against each other, and there was no fairness at all.

Seeing this, the generals of the Long army realized that their situation was becoming more and more passive, and if they could not break through the encirclement of the Han army, they would probably have to be shot alive by the arrow array of the Han army.

The generals of the Long army shouted loudly: "Rush to the city wall!" Brothers, follow me to the wall! ”

Under his orders, the soldiers of the Long army began to rush to the city wall with all their might.

People rushed up the steps, and arrows flew around them, killing the soldiers on the steps from time to time.

At the moment of life and death, the Long army couldn't take care of it so much, and the people rushed forward completely by virtue of their flesh and blood, hard pit arrow arrays.

When I arrived at the entrance of the steps, I was faced with a heavy shield array.

The soldiers of the Long army finally rushed to the front of the shield array, but before they could hit it hard, dozens of spears and halberds stabbed out from the back of the shield array, and in an instant, they heard a series of sounds of puff and puff.

Spears and halberds pierced through the body of the Long army, and the spearheads and halberd tips all poked out from behind people's backs.

Sand! The spears and halberds that were stabbed out were withdrawn together, hidden behind the shield array, and at a glance, the shield array was still a shield array, and there seemed to be no threat, and the soldiers of the Long army standing in front of the shield array knelt down one after another, and fell down, and on their bodies, there were all large and small blood holes.

The first row of Long soldiers fell, and then the second row came up, as in the same situation just now, they just arrived in front of the shield array, countless spears and halberds pierced out along the gaps between the shield arrays, and penetrated the people's bodies again, and another row of Long soldiers fell to the ground in response.

The fallen soldier had not completely swallowed his breath, lying on the ground, one hand also raised the ring head knife, slashing forward, the blade looked weakly at the shield surface of the heavy shield, making a tinkling sound, and soon, a spear stabbed out from behind the shield array, completely solving the dying and struggling Long army.

The second row fell, the third came up again, and after this row was stabbed, there was a fourth, a fifth...... A large number of soldiers of the Long army, like moths to a fire, rushed up regardless of it, and immediately after, cold spears and halberds pierced their bodies.

The soldiers of the Long army who fell in front of the heavy shield, corpses on top of each other, blood pooled into a river, flowing down the steps.

In the end, the corpses of the Long army were all formed into a hill in front of the heavy shield, and the Long army on the steps could no longer rush up.

But these Long soldiers trapped on the steps have become the most obvious live targets.

Arrows flew all around, people stood on the steps, there was nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape, and the soldiers who were hit by the arrows were not one after another, but one after another.

It didn't take a quarter of an hour, and the ground was no longer visible on the steps of the city wall, and the corpses of the Long army were stacked on top of each other, layer upon layer.

At this time, both the Long army and the Han army were already red-eyed, but the Han army was red-eyed, and the Long army was dying and struggling, and they were red-eyed.

The generals of the Long army saw that they really couldn't rush to the city wall, so they could only be forced to change.

He shouted, "Rush into the city!" ”

At this time, he was still hallucinating, breaking through the encirclement of the Han army, rushing into the city, and hiding, after all, Luoyang City is not small, they are scattered, evading the pursuit of the Han army, and there is still a glimmer of life.

But he had a good idea, but how could it be so easy?

The Han army on the street, the front row is also all heavy shields, the crossbows of the Long army are not a little threat to the heavy shields, people rush up, and they are still greeted by halberds and spears.

At the same time, on the rooftops on both sides of the street, arrows rained down, and many Long troops did not rush to the front of the shield array at all, and they were shot to the ground by the arrows flying down from their heads.

Storming the city wall, the Long army lost no less than 1,000 people, and now the Han army on the street is storming, the Long army dies faster, almost less than half an hour, the casualties are as many as six or seven hundred, and the remaining Long army is only about five hundred.

The remnants of the 500 Long army could neither rush to the head of the city, nor could they break through the Han army defense line on the street.

The people were forced to retreat again and again, and eventually, almost all of them retreated to the inside and outside of the city gate.

The phalanx of the Han army advanced towards them step by step in a fan shape.

The outer circle is full of heavy shields, and the Han soldiers inside are also holding shields in one hand and spears or halberds in the other.

Facing the advancing Han army array, the remaining 500 Long troops had a strong sense of despair in their hearts.

It can be said that from the very beginning of the battle, they had no chance of winning.

The general of the Long army was still making his last struggle, he stood in the hole of the city gate, holding a boulder in both hands, and shouted loudly: "Move the stone away!" Let's work together to move the stones away! ”

It's too late! The Han army did not give them time to move the stones at all.

With the order of Choshi, the speed of the Han army's advance accelerated, and it continued to approach the remaining Long army.

Soon, the two sides came into contact.

The Han army in the front row lifted the heavy shield and squeezed forward desperately, while the Han army in the back row clenched the halberd and spear, and stabbed its edge along the gap between the heavy shield and the heavy shield.

The crowd of Longjun who were squeezed into a group, screamed one after another, and blood arrows spurted out from the periphery of the crowd, and a soldier of the Longjun Army let out a near-death wail and collapsed to the ground.

At this time, every time the Han army pushed forward, it was paved with the corpse of the Long army.

This elite Long army, which can shoot crossbow arrows all over its body, is now completely useless, and the battle is so fierce that it is unbearable.

A quarter of an hour later, the Long army outside the city gate cave had been completely killed by the Han army, and the Long army that was still alive was only the twenty or thirty people hiding in the city gate cave, including the general who took the lead.

"You wait to surrender now, maybe there is still a way to live, stubborn, plan to resist to the end, none of you can live!"

Choshi stepped out of the crowd with his spear in his hand, standing behind two heavy shields.

"Ahh

Choshi first picked out a crossbow arrow with his spear, and then he crouched down and crouched behind his shield.

Ding, ding, ding-the crossbow arrows hit the heavy shield continuously, and a cloud of sparks burst out on the shield surface, but after all the crossbow arrows were shot, there were only a few small white dots on the shield surface of the heavy shield.

A line of Han archers stood up from behind the shield array, shooting arrows in unison.

Poof, poof, poof! The arrows flew into the city gate, and five or six Long soldiers who swung their swords to block the arrows were shot into hedgehogs and fell in pools of blood.

As soon as this row of archers finished shooting, they crouched down, and the other row of archers stood up and continued to release their arrows.

Then the third row of archers stood up and released the arrows again.

After only these few rounds of arrows, there was no longer a standing Long army in the city gate.

Even the general of the Long Army, who had several arrows in his body, sat weakly on the ground, leaning on a boulder with his back, wheezing and wheezing.

Several Han soldiers walked out from behind the shield array, holding spears in both hands, and after entering the city gate hole, they saw that there was a Long army that was not dead, and immediately went up to make up for a spear.

Finally, the people walked to the innermost end of the city gate hole, and one by one the spears forced the general of the Long army who still had a breath left.

The latter struggled to raise his head, looking at the sharp hairs in front of him, the corners of his mouth hooked, and continued to raise his gaze to look at the back of the crowd.

I saw Choshi and a young man in civilian clothes walking out of the shield array and walking towards him.

The general of the Long army trembled and raised one of his arms, with a ring on his finger, but before he could pull the ring, a spear had pierced his arm first.

His raised arm hung down weakly, and at his wrist, there was the sound of a crossbow bouncing, and a small crossbow bolt was nailed deep into the ground.

There was a grunting sound in his throat, and his eyes were red with droplets.

It was Liu Xiu who came over with Choshi, and on the other side of Liu Xiu, there was also a sturdy black leopard.

The general opened his bloodshot eyes, looked at Liu Xiu, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You, yes, Liu, Xiu!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, almost at the same time, three spears pierced him in the shoulder, in the lower abdomen, and in the thigh.

The generals of the Long Army couldn't hold back any longer, and let out a heart-rending howl.

Liu Xiu waved his hand to the soldiers around him, signaling that they didn't have to torture this person.

After receiving Liu Xiu's signal, all the soldiers withdrew their spears one after another, bowed and retreated to both sides.

Liu Xiu stood still in front of the generals and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The general of the Long army trembled, stopped his screaming, he glared at Liu Xiu angrily, and did not say a word.

Liu Xiu said: "The geese have left a voice, the person has left a name, even if it is dead, a name should be left." ”

A layer of mist appeared in the eyes of the generals of the Long Army, and the mist was soon stained red by blood and turned into blood.

He said: "Liu Xiu, you remember clearly, Lao Tzu's name is Wang Tu!" ”

"Wang Tu?

Haven't heard of it.

Since you can serve as a general in the crossbow camp, presumably, the relationship with Du Ling is extraordinary, you are Du Ling's disciple? ”

Liu Xiu asked with an indifferent expression.
