Chapter 354: Hot Weapons

Cao Xing's founding name is Qin, but the former capital of the Qin Dynasty is from Chang'an to Luoyang, to be precise, the main place is still in Chang'an, but now Cao Xing has not occupied Chang'an, isn't this a slap in the face? Therefore, the only way for Cao Xing to gain a firm foothold is to capture the city of Chang'an with a rapid momentum, Li Wei, who thought that he was guarding Chang'an, was just a third-rate general, but now it has reached the point of exhaustion, and it is easy to capture it. However, unexpectedly, with the support of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Li Dao also regained his strength, after all, a person's desire to survive is very strong, and once it is stimulated, it will burst out with infinite power, and Li Dao is the same.

Li Wei didn't need to charge with soldiers and horses in person, and fight Cao Xing to the death, he only needed to stand on the city tower and use the arrows provided by Cao Cao to keep shooting outward to block the pace of Cao Xing's attack.

Chen Hu and others thought of a variety of ways, wanting to deceive Li Dao to succeed, after all, if it is an encounter battle, it is much better than fighting a tough battle, Li Dao, who has no geographical advantage, is definitely not Chen Hu's opponent, but Chen Hu and Fa Zheng have already come up with all the methods they can think of, what to use food to lure the enemy? Or directly sent soldiers to scold below, but Li Dao was like a turtle, always shrinking in Tongguan and unwilling to come out.

Tongguan is now on the land of the Central Plains, I dare not say that it is the first male pass in the world, but it is also one of the best levels, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as Li Dao does not come out, it will be difficult for Cao Xing and others to enter.

After collecting this series of intelligence, Cao Xuan immediately convened a military meeting, looking at the many generals who were all at a loss, Cao Xuan also closed his eyes and pondered, just like this, this military conference, actually spent in this obscure voice, all the generals have Cao Xuan as the boss here, looking at everyone at a loss, he has to inspire two sentences, but Cao Xuan looked at the appearance of everyone, just laughed twice, he just said a word to let everyone not worry.

When someone walked into the military tent under the leadership of Jinyiwei, Cao Xuan finally stood up, and all the generals looked at it intently, and found that the person who came was none other than Ma Jun.

Cao Xing set up a department under him, called the Ministry of Industry, which specialized in research and development projects, including the production of advanced weapons, such as Cao Xing's bow and arrow with a range of 300 paces, all of which were made by Ma Jun's Ministry of Industry.

Ma Jun, an artificial craftsman, will not directly participate in the war, but will only stay in his own place to study the production of weapons, and this time he actually came to the battlefield in person, which is really unexpected.

Cao Xuan saw Ma Jun walking over with a smile, and Ma Jun also hurriedly arched his hand to Cao Xuan and nodded: "Lord, I will live up to expectations after all!" ”

I saw Cao Xuan take a long thing from Ma Jun's hand, to be precise, it should be cylindrical, everyone was a little puzzled when they saw this thing, but Cao Xing's eyes lit up when he saw such a thing, and he looked at everyone with burning eyes and said.

"No one has me, no one has me, the progress of society and the progress of the country need to be constantly created, so everyone here can not be complacent because of their current abundance of food and clothing, everyone must continue to make progress, backward will only be beaten!"

In the next few days, Li Dao, who was stationed in Tongguan, his life was much better, a few days ago, Chen Hufazheng and others continued to send people to Tongguan to abuse, saying that he Li Dao was a nobody, if there was a kind, out of the city to fight.

Although Li Daode's military level is indeed very poor, he also knows that he goes out of the city to fight Cao Xing's troops head-to-head, which is a dead end, so he can only shrink back, although his method of avoiding and not fighting has had a great effect, at least Cao Xing and others are still unable to cross the Tong Pass, but listening to the people below scolding themselves every day, the key is that the scolding is still so grandiose, Li Daode also felt a burst of unhappiness in his heart.

In the past few days, this kind of abuse has finally disappeared, and Li Wei also felt refreshed, and sat leisurely in his mansion drinking wine. In his opinion, Cao Xing estimated that he also tasted his strength, Tongguan is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can ordinary people take it, it is estimated that if he gives Cao Xing three more years, he may not be able to defeat it, Cao Xing is almost retreating now.

Thinking of this, Li Daode was also relieved in his heart, at least his life had been saved so far, after all, he also knew that the series of bastard things he had done, if he was caught by Cao Xing, not to mention whether Cao Xing killed him or not, even if everyone in the world spitted on him, he could drown him.

Li Dao spent a happy day with a leisurely expression, but in this day, there were still some discord, the sergeants patrolling the Tongguan Pass, from time to time to report to Li Dao, there was a new movement in Cao Xing's military camp, Li Daode was startled, thinking that Cao Xing led the troops to attack again, but those soldiers reported to Li Daode that Cao Xing's barracks would be shocked from time to time, and then some diffuse smoke rose from Cao Xing's barracks.

Although this phenomenon is very strange and unusual, after Li Wei heard it, he scolded the soldiers who came to report, what is this, as long as he Cao Xing does not come to attack, it is a good thing, what does Cao Xuan do in the barracks?

But a few days later, Li Dao's nightmare began again, Cao Xuan personally led the soldiers and horses to slowly advance to Tongguan, Li Dao stood on top of Tongguan, the beads of sweat continued to slide down from his forehead, three hundred in front of them, only to see tens of thousands of troops are horizontal swords, staring at Tongguan with murderous spirit, and Cao Xing personally led more than 3,000 people to slowly advance.

There are about 2,000 people at the front, and these two thousand have a characteristic, that is, they are wearing heavy armor and holding huge shields, and every step they take, in addition to their heavy footsteps, there are also their constant shouts, and their morale is very strong.

The leader is a black-faced man, this person is no one else, it is Zhou Cang, today's Zhou Cang is also wearing heavy armor, and slowly moving forward with his car.

Zhou Cang's back is only 2,000 troops, this number is not to be feared, according to common sense, the average general must take the men and horses out of the city to meet the attack, and strive to kill Zhou Cang's 3,000 men and horses, but Li Wei was afraid that Zhou Cang's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would suddenly kill, so he finally suppressed the impulse in his heart, shouted directly, and ordered the soldiers above the Tongguan City Tower to just shoot.

Zhou Cang and the others seemed to have entered Li Wei's shooting range, only to see one arrow after another hit the shield of the tiger soldier under the car, and those sharp arrows were now like a piece of wood, hitting their bodies, and finally fell weakly.

The armor on Zhou Cang and the others is so heavy, so the defense is extremely strong, so in the face of these dense arrows, Zhou Cang just took a strong breath, and then led the people to move forward step by step, anyway, the tiger under the car is getting closer and closer to Tongguan.

Seeing this, Li Dao and the others on the city tower were completely panicked, what kind of armor is this monster, it is completely impermeable, but Li Dao's subordinates still let Li Dao stabilize his mood, they told Li Dao that the armor on the tiger soldiers under the car is at most heavy armor, and the heavy armor does not mean invincible, and now those arrows are shot at them, and it has no effect, because the distance of the arrows is too far, and the effective killing range is too small, and they can't shoot through the defense of these tiger soldiers under the car.

If you wait for these tiger soldiers under the car to get closer, then the arrows they shoot will be much more powerful, and I don't believe that they can't shoot through the heavy armor worn by the tiger soldiers under the car.

After hearing this, Li Wei nodded, temporarily stabilizing his fluctuating emotions, and sure enough, when the tiger soldiers under the car were still a hundred steps away from Tongguan, the pressure of the tiger soldiers under the car also came, and I saw that the power on those arrows gradually increased, and the power of a hundred steps away could directly shoot through the huge shield raised by the tiger soldiers under the car.

Seeing that the pressure dropped suddenly, Zhou Cang gritted his teeth and often took a breath, shouted, and said to the tiger soldier under the car behind him: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, brothers, make meritorious contributions in this dynasty, let the enemy's white bones come as our outstanding military merits, and become a supreme honor for us!" ”

Zhou Cang's words are ruthless enough, but it is a good motivation for the tigers behind him, what is the purpose of the training to fight and kill every day, not for this moment, so countless tigers under the car have responded to Zhou Cang's call, and they are forced to cheer up, two people as a group, continue to maintain the formation, and slowly move forward.

Seeing that Zhou Cang's Hushi under the car was in a group of two, the formation was more dense and the defense was stronger, but what surprised Li Dao and the others was that since the Hushi under the car was in a group of two, their lineup had shrunk a little, and the people hiding behind the Hushi under the car finally saw clearly, these people were carrying bows and crossbows, and there was a cylindrical thing hanging on their waists. A normal person would guess that the tiger under the car is constantly resisting in the front, in order to attack this group of people.

And in this group of people, Li Wei finally discovered Cao Xing, and at this moment Li Wei finally remembered, why did he say that this battle was led by Cao Xing himself, he really hadn't seen Cao Xing before that, but he didn't expect Cao Xing to hide behind all the time, what did he want to do?

Seeing this, Li Daode was even more flustered in his heart, but he also waved his hand heavily, and gave his soldiers a death order, don't care so much, just shoot him hard, and hit all these arrows on the body of the tiger soldiers under the car, as long as these tiger soldiers under the car are shot to the ground, Cao Xing and the others behind him are not afraid, after all, Cao Xuan and the others do not have heavy armor defense on their bodies.

When there were still fifty steps away from Tongguan, the pressure of the tiger under the car had obviously reached the extreme, and the dense arrows continued to hit the body of the tiger under the car, and the tiger under the car could no longer continue to move forward, only to parry, but at this point, Cao Xuan felt that it was already possible, and he waved his hand, and the sergeant parallel to him all understood Cao Xing's meaning.

All the archers that Cao Xing brought were the archers he had trained single-handedly, and there were two tiger warriors under the car in front of these people, who were protecting them, and the pressure on the tiger warriors under the car had reached the extreme, and it was obviously time for them to perform.

I saw that these well-trained archers took out the cylindrical thing on their waists directly through the gap between the two giant shields, and then under Cao Xing's shout, they pulled a pulley on the top of the long thing.

Immediately after that, the earth-shattering sound sounded below Tongguan, one after another round balls with fire, flying out of the exit directly, and finally hit Tongguan, when they reached Tongguan, they would always burst out of dazzling sparks, and exude boundless power, even the Tongguan defenders on the city tower, when they felt this powerful wave of qi, they felt unstable on their feet, and even had a hot pain on their faces.

More than a thousand people around Cao Xing were like this, every time under the cover of the tiger soldiers under the car, they shot out the cylindrical thing in their hands, and then after three breaths, they shot out again, just like that, each time about a thousand round balls hit Tongguan, causing severe damage to Tongguan, and those defenders on Tongguan couldn't help but squat down and cover their ears.

Chen Hu and the others who were standing behind were even more stunned, originally Cao Xuan said that this thing could defeat Tongguan at the beginning, but they still had a lot and didn't believe it, and now they can't believe it. They had never seen such a destructive power in their lives.

I saw one round sphere after another, after bursting on the wall of Tongguan, the two soldiers saw the opportunity, held two cloth things, and then ran to Tongguan, lit it with the fire fold on their bodies, and then ran back to the rear quickly.

Half an hour later, I only heard the earth-shattering roar at the foot of the city wall of Tongguan, and finally this Xiongguan quickly festered and collapsed under the noses of everyone.

Cao Xuan waved his hand, ordered the archers around him, and the tiger soldiers under the car quickly retreated, and Chen Hu and the others behind him were stunned for a long time and finally reacted, no matter what, now Tongguan has been blown out of a big gap, they should also charge, with Chen Hu's shout, countless soldiers have flocked to Tongguan, and then entered Tongguan, and began a fight.

The screams of swords entering the flesh and the wails of the tears of Tongguan continued for a whole day and a night, and finally at noon, the battle finally ended. Needless to say, Chen Hu led people to enter Tongguan with a thunderous momentum, how could Li Daode's third-rate troops be Chen Hu's opponents?
