…

On the pass, behind the city wall.

Zhu Jing and Ou Peng came to Guanghui's side.

Ou Peng asked, "Master, what should I do?" Retreat to the second pass? ”

Without waiting for Guanghui to answer, Zhu Jing said: "No, although the order we received is to lure the enemy deeper, but this is the first battle of my battalion, if we withdraw like this, how can we see the other brothers?" And retreat so easily, then Hu Yanzhuo will not be fooled. ”

Guanghui said: "Yes, my brother said that an army must have a military soul, and if we are defeated like this, we are afraid that our battalion will be destroyed." ”

Ou Peng hesitated a little and said: "But the trebuchet and the bed crossbow ......"

Guanghui said: "I was caught off guard by the trebuchet and the bed crossbow, so I suffered such a big loss, the catapult and the bed crossbow are very slow, be careful, be vigilant, the trebuchet and the bed crossbow may not be able to help us." ”

Zhu Jing said: "Yes, and I am waiting on this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack pass, and I am well prepared, why can't I fight?" ”

Guanghui said again: "We still have thunder and explosives packs." ”

Hearing the thunder and the explosives package, Ou Peng's spirit was also lifted, obviously, Ou Peng was very confident in the thunder and the explosives package!

When the three reached unification, Guanghui immediately ordered: "Crossbowmen prepare to fight back!" ”

The crossbowman listened to this, and carefully poked his head into the mouth of the arrow, which would occasionally fly out of the arrow and boulder.

Seeing that the Liangshan army was preparing to counterattack, Han Tao immediately ordered: "Go up to the two crossbowmen again, and suppress them for me!" ”

With Han Tao's order, two more crossbowmen rushed forward, and then pressed the Liangshan army together with the previous crossbowmen, as well as the stone thrower and the bed crossbow!

The two Liangshan crossbowmen raised their heads too high, and as a result, they were shot by arrows and fell to the ground!

Seeing this, the little courage that the Liangshan crossbowmen had just mentioned was immediately vented again!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the siege team continued to advance rapidly!

It can be seen from this that there is still a big gap between the Liangshan Army and the well-trained regular army.

Seeing this, Zhu Jing picked up a divine arm crossbow, rushed to the mouth of the arrow, and immediately shot a crossbow arrow at the crossbowmen and shield soldiers on the opposite side!

"Ahh

One of the archers of the official army fell in response!

Zhu Jing shouted: "The shield soldiers resist the arrows, and the crossbowmen fire back with me!" ”

Ou Peng gritted his teeth, and also took a divine arm crossbow and rushed to the archery port, aiming at the crossbowmen and shield soldiers on the opposite side, and also shot an arrow!

I don't know if Ou Peng's crossbow arrows shot accurately, or if the people on the opposite side were too dense, Ou Peng actually shot one person!

Ou Peng said: "The rate of fire of the stone thrower and the bed crossbow is very slow, pay attention to it, and hide behind the wall when you see the stone thrower and the bed crossbow shooting, as for the arrows shot by the crossbow of the officers and soldiers, don't be afraid of them, they can't break our shield!" ”

Guanghui even directly picked up two divine arm crossbows and rushed to the archery port, and then shouted while firing the bow left and right: "On the battlefield, the more afraid you are of death, the faster you will die, and you will not fight back with the Sprinkle family!" ”

With Guanghui, Zhu Jing, and Ou Peng taking the lead, the officers and men of the Liangshan Army slowly began to try to counterattack......

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: "Ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it twice." ”

The officers and troops brought by Hu Yanzhuo are stronger than the overall quality of the current Liangshan Army, but the Liangshan Army is the defender after all, and it has a huge advantage in the terrain.

You must know that the three passes of Liangshanbo are all built in dangerous places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and in order to cope with this battle, Tao Zongwang has also been firmly reinforced with concrete, which is absolutely incomparable to other city walls in this era.

On the other hand, on the side of the official army, it can be said that there is no barrier, and can only rely on chariots, wooden curtains, and giant shields for defense.

In addition, if Han Tao wants to attack them, they must go up a steep slope, in this case, whether the officers and soldiers want to push the chariot up, or push the ladder up, or push the cart up, it is very difficult, which is also the main reason why the siege troops of the officers and soldiers have not been able to rush up so far!

Therefore, as the battle progressed, the officers and men of the Liangshan Army, who had slowly adapted, were no longer as passive as before.

Moreover, Guanghui also quickly instructed the archery masters in the camp to shoot rockets at the dry wood that had already been poured with sulfur flame nitrate, and set fire to the wall of fire that had been prepared long ago to stop the footsteps of the official siege team.

Seeing that the Liangshan Army was beginning to adapt to the war, Han Tao, the commander-in-chief of the front line, and Hu Yanzhuo, who was sitting in the back, all sighed secretly - what they were most worried about had happened! If they can't break through this dangerous pass quickly, they will have to pile up their lives, and it can even be said that their siege troops have to pave the way with corpses every step forward!

Hu Yanzhuo said in a deep voice: "Bury the pot to make rice, let the Chenzhou infantry army eat first, replace the Chenzhou infantry army in the front camp after eating, and the Yingzhou infantry army and Runing infantry will eat later, and sleep after eating." ”

The hearts of all the officers and soldiers are all in the same mood - they have already heard it from the old soldiers, Hu Yanzhuo is preparing to use wheel tactics to wear down this pass, and he is afraid that he will also attack the city at night.

Some officers and soldiers who are sensible and sensible can understand Hu Yanzhuo - they know that they must take this Wanzi City in one go, otherwise they will be in a dilemma when they go deep into Shuibo Liangshan!

on the battlefield.

At the cost of dozens of lives, the officers and soldiers finally removed the piles of matches, and the siege team advanced again.

Pity!

The officers and soldiers had only advanced less than ten zhang before another wall of fire ignited!

Han Tao was expressionless, and sent another team of soldiers with hooks to rush up to open the way under the protection of the shield soldiers.

Pass on.

Ou Peng commanded the Liangshan crossbowmen: "I will shoot those eagle dogs with hooks!" ”

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

……

A rain of arrows went through!

More than a dozen officers and soldiers fell in response!

The rest of the officers and soldiers took advantage of the gap between the crossbowmen and the crossbow arrows, and used the hooks in their hands to quickly hook away the dry firewood with the blazing fire.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

……

Another round of crossbow arrows was fired, and about 20 officers and soldiers fell again!

Taking advantage of this gap, the remaining officers and soldiers hurriedly used hooks to continue to remove the dry firewood with the blazing fire to completely clear this section of the road.

An officer and soldier accidentally set himself on fire because of nervousness and hurry!

He hurriedly rolled on the spot!

But there are flammable things such as sulfur, saltpeter, clear oil, and hemp on this fire, how can it be so easy to extinguish if it sticks?

Soon he was a burning man, letting out a heart-rending howl!

It's not that no one on both sides sees him, but no one dares to pay attention to him at this critical moment, because if you are distracted from him, the next person to die may be yourself!

In the end, it was Peng Xi in the rear who opened his bow and arrows to give him a relief.

Before he died, he glanced at Peng Xi gratefully.

The offensive and defensive sides continue to ......
