Chapter 328: The Battle of Yangguan

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Fu Jun was able to prevent his 'three shots from crossing the horse', Wang Lian was also surprised, and when he turned the horse's head and looked at Fu Jun, his eyes also changed. Fu Jun's expression was still cold and indifferent, and his legs shook, urging the horse to rush forward.

This time, after the two met each other, it was Fu Jun who made the first move and stabbed Wang Lian's face with a halberd. The latter was about to swing his gun to block, but Fu Jun's halberd suddenly sank, and the halberd that was stabbed at his door suddenly changed to a stab at his lower abdomen.

His move is exactly the same as Wang Lian's move. Wang Lian couldn't help but scream, and in a hurry, he pushed the gun out of his hand vigorously.

When Chang, Fu Jun's halberd was picked open, and the two horses were staggered, Fu Jun's halberd tail slammed Wang Lian's ribs, the same, this is also a move of crossing the horse and three shots, but he used it on the halberd.

Wang Lian hated the root of his teeth, but he had to guard against it, he picked the gun out again, intending to bounce Fu Jun's second move.

But what he didn't expect was that Fu Jun's blow was also a false move, his gun had not yet reached the tail of the halberd, the tail of the halberd had been taken back by Fu Jun first, the halberd drew an arc in the air, and the surface of the halberd was slapped down from the air with a buzz.

Syllable! This halberd is hitting the top of Wang Lian's head, if it weren't for the helmet blocking it, if it wasn't for Fu Jun's use of it and it wasn't too pure, this halberd would have to smash Wang Lian's head.

Wang Lian snorted, his body shook twice on the horse, he fell sideways, and fell to the ground with a pop, the deformed helmet rolled out a long way, and scarlet blood gurgled down the top of his head.

Looking at Wang Lian again, his eyes were scattered, his expression was dull, and the whole person was already delirious. Fu Jun turned his horse back to his approach, bent down, grabbed Wang Lian's ribbon, lifted it up, put Wang Lian on his horse, and then he raised his eyes to look at the Mang army opposite, held the halberd in one hand, and ran away with Wang Lian, who was captured by him

Return to your own home. When Liu Xiu approached, he threw Wang Lian, who was lying on horseback, to the ground, and two soldiers immediately ran forward, pulled their shoulders, pulled their backs, and tied Wang Lian firmly.

Poked the halberd to the side, Fu Jun arched his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "Lord, your subordinates can fight again!" ”

Wang Lian's three shots are certainly powerful, but obviously, Fu Jun is better.

Not only did he successfully defend against the opponent's three shots, but he also learned and used it, and what was even more terrifying was that he was able to improve Wang Lian's moves in such a short period of time, and he was captured alive by Wang Lian in just one round.

The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth rose, and when he looked at Fu Jun, his eyes were full of smiles, and he said, "Ziwei has worked hard, rest for a while!" Waiting for Fu Jun to return to the team, Liu Xiu raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side.

The reckless army on the opposite side naturally also saw the scene of Wang Lian being captured by Fu Junsheng, Song Yi was anxious and angry, and his mind was not as calm as at the beginning, he shouted: "Beat the drum!" The whole army attacks Yangguan! ”

As the drums of the reckless army resounded like popping beans in the camp, the phalanxes began to advance in unison.

Each phalanx is composed of 1,000 people, two phalanxes side by side in front, this is the front army, one in the middle, this is the middle army, two phalanxes are side by side, this is the rear army.

In the process of advancing, the five phalanxes always maintained a formation of two fronts, two backs and one center.

Looking closely at the soldiers in each phalanx, the people's steps are uniform, listening to the sound, the rumbling footsteps are deafening, and the soldiers also shout from time to time to boost their morale.

The reckless army of 430,000 people is really not a rabble, it is a united army with the Beijing division army as the core, supplemented by the state capital army and the county army.

Seeing that the Mang army was no longer scolding the formation, no longer fighting alone, but had started a full-scale attack, Liu Xiu stared at the phalanx opposite for a moment, waved his hand to the surrounding people, and shouted: "Withdraw to the pass!" ”

They originally only came out of 200 people, and they came out quickly, and they retreated quickly, and in just a while, Liu Xiu took 200 soldiers and all retreated to Yangguan City.

As they all entered the city, the Han soldiers immediately closed the city gate, and many soldiers worked together to carry over wooden stakes one by one, and firmly held the city gate inside the city gate.

Liu Xiu returned to the city, quickly dismounted, held the hilt of the sword, and ran up the city wall with staggering arrows. Fu Jun followed, and after climbing the city wall, he raised his eyes and looked out. Standing on a high place, observing the formation of the reckless army, it is more comprehensive and real, the advance of the five phalanxes is orderly, and the mutual cooperation and cohesion are very coordinated, this reckless army of more than 5,000 people is not a temporary recruit at a glance, but

He is a battle-hardened veteran.

As the Mangjun camp advanced closer and closer, Fu Jun took off his bow and arrows and shouted to the left and right: "Hundred steps positioning!" As he spoke, he twisted his bow and arrow, aimed it in the air, and shot an arrow.

Whoosh –

He shot a hollow arrow, which pierced the sky, made a piercing and long whistle, snapped, and nailed to the ground outside the city.

The arrow sank more than five inches into the ground, and the feathers at the end of the arrow buzzed and trembled. The distance of his arrow was exactly a hundred steps outside the northern city of Yangguan.

This is also the ultimate range of the defending archers. As long as the enemy's advance passes this arrow, it is equivalent to entering the range of the defenders.

Seeing that the phalanx of the Mang army was getting closer and closer to the positioning arrows, the archers in the Han army twisted their bows and arrows one after another, ready to release the arrows.

Liu Xiu had 1,000 cavalry under his command and more than 100 strong men, but among the 1,100 people, there were only about 50 archers.

At that time, there were very few people who could ride and even fewer who could do archery, and archers were scarce in any army.

When the Mang army array advanced to within 100 steps outside Yangguan, the Han archers on the city wall shot their arrows one after another.

More than fifty archers, scattered over the city, shot arrows that can only be described as sparse. The arrows fell into the phalanx of the reckless army, like a stone sinking into the sea, and could not cause any waves.

Seeing that the defenders' arrow shooting strength was so weak, the advancing Mang army officers and soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief, the original Han army that captured Yangguan, not even archers, aware of this, the pace of people's advance all accelerated.

Eighty steps, sixty steps, fifty steps, thirty steps......

Time passed minute by minute, and soon, the front army of the Mang army was only twenty steps away from Yangguan.

The soldiers carrying the ladders in the reckless army were already ready to charge forward. At this moment, Liu Xiu, who was standing on the head of the city, drew his sword, waved it outward, and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow-"

With his order, one crossbow machine after another poked its head out from behind the arrow stacks and launched a salvo at the reckless army outside the city. Smack, smack, smack! The sound of the ballista ejecting was continuous, and a long line of crossbow arrows flew down from the top of the city.

The soldiers in the front row of the reckless army camp were shot into a long row of arrows in an instant. Before the reckless army could react, the Han soldiers who had finished shooting the crossbow arrows retreated together, and the soldiers in the back row stepped forward to fill in and continued to shoot crossbow arrows outward.

Jingle Bell –

In a series of arrows piercing through the armor, another long platoon of reckless soldiers fell to the ground.

It was only at this time that the Mang army realized that the Han army also had a large number of crossbow machines in their hands. The people raised their shields, shouted and rushed to the wall ahead.

Rushing to the base of the city wall, there were very few arrows that could be shot here, but they were greeted by rolling logs and stones that fell from the top of the city.

If you are shot by an arrow, you still have a chance to live, but if you are hit by a rolling log or gravel thrown down from a height of 10 meters, you will basically have no way to live.

The battle between the two sides was in full swing, and on the top of the city, arrows rained down, rolling logs and stones as if they didn't need money, crackling down.

The reckless army outside the city, the archers fired arrows to return fire, the soldiers set up ladders and climbed upwards, in addition, large weapons such as rushing cars, ladder cars, and building carts were also pushed onto the battlefield by the reckless army one by one.

The rush car hits the city gate, the ladder car is an improved version of the ladder, which is much wider than the ordinary ladder, with wheels underneath and can be pushed and pulled by manpower.

The height of the carts is usually more than three feet, the same as the height of the city wall, or higher, and the top floor has a platform on which archers can stand, which can pose a direct threat to the defenders on the city wall.

It's like letting the building cart advance to the front of the city wall, the hanging plate of the building cart is lowered and put on the city, and the soldiers on the tower can directly rush to the city wall.

Fighting with Song Yi and Wang Lian's Mang Army made Liu Xiu understand what a regular Beijing army is. In the past, their battle in Nanyang was more like a small fight than now.

It is not a question of having more soldiers and fewer soldiers, but of the application of large weapons.

At present, the Mang army attacking Yangguan does not have many troops, only about 5,000 people, but the army carries a large number of siege weapons, such as ladder trucks and building cars, which Liu Xiu has seen for the first time.

Seeing that a building car was being continuously advanced towards the city wall by the Mang army, Feng Yi, who was commanding the battle, pointed at the building car with the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Don't let the building car get close to the city wall and shoot the Mang army below!" ”

With Feng Yi's reminder, the surrounding Han troops picked up their crossbow machines and shot downward. In front of the building car, there are two thick and long ropes, and there are two columns of reckless troops pulling together, and there are many reckless troops behind the building car, pushing together.

The arrows on the top of the city flew down in a concentrated manner, causing the reckless troops who were pulling the ropes to fall to the ground one after another, and the advance of the building carts also stopped.

Soon, however, a second group of reckless troops came up, one group of men picked up the ropes and continued to pull the cart, while another group of men held their shields high to protect their comrades who pulled the cart.

The Han army on the city wall continued to release arrows, and at this time, a large group of reckless archers stood up on the top floor of the building car, and they all fired arrows at the Han army in the city. In an instant, the Han army was shot down by a large number of people.

People had to give up shooting arrows downwards and instead shoot arrows at the reckless archers on the top floors of the buildings. The arrows on both sides come and go, shuttling constantly, and from time to time someone falls to the ground with arrows.

This is just the tip of the battlefield, the large weapons that were originally located in the rear army were transported to the front of Yangguan City one after another.

One of the vans was blown up by rolling logs and gravel, and there were five, ten, or even more rushing trucks waiting in the back, ready to move forward.

More than ten building cars, almost in a line, approached in front of the Yangguan City. As for the ladder trucks, even more were pushed under the city.

The ladder of the ladder car is not only wide, and it is no problem to climb two soldiers side by side, but it is also very strong and heavy, and it is very difficult for the defenders at the head of the city to use hooks to pick up the ladder of the ladder car.

As the attacking reckless army transported one large weapon after another to the battlefield, the offensive and defensive battles of Yangguan also entered a white-hot stage.

Bang! A building cart finally reached the city wall, and then, the hanging board fell, and the reckless soldiers on the tower threw away the bows and arrows in their hands, drew their swords, roared, and jumped on the city head along the hanging board, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Han army on the city head.
