Chapter 329: Bloody Battle of Attack and Defense

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

Seeing the Mang army attacking the city, Liu Xiu raised his sword to meet him. When a reckless soldier saw Liu Xiuben coming by himself, he didn't think about it, and swept with his sword. Liu Xiu bent down to dodge, let go of the edge, and the Chixiao Sword stabbed out, hitting the chest of the reckless soldier.

The Chixiao Sword was not pulled out of the opponent's body by Liu Xiu, but the opponent's corpse was directly knocked out by him. Poof! The corpse slammed into one of the reckless soldiers behind him, and both of them fell to the ground.

Before the reckless soldier could get up from the ground, a spear from the Han army next to him pierced his chest.

The spear-wielding Han soldier was about to pull out the spear when an arrow suddenly flew from the building car and hit him directly in the neck. Burst! The arrow pierced through his throat and poked out from the back of his neck.

After the reckless army archer standing on the building car hit the target with an arrow, he did not delay for a moment, touched the quiver with one hand, drew the arrow again, and his eyes also scanned back and forth on the city, looking for the next target.

Suddenly, his pupils narrowed suddenly, and at the head of the city, he saw a Han soldier holding a crossbow machine, aimed at him.

He subconsciously wanted to crouch down to dodge, but it was too late, and the crossbow bolt bounced out of the crossbow machine, and instantly reached his approach.

Burst! The arrows shot through his helmet, deep into his skull. The reckless archers didn't say a word, and fell headlong from the building car.

The crossbow-wielding Han soldiers retreated again and again, trying to find a safe place to install crossbow arrows, but at this moment, a reckless soldier rushed from the oblique side and plunged a spear into his soft underbelly.

Burst! The spear pierced his torso. The Han soldiers screamed miserably, threw away the crossbow machine, grabbed the spear that pierced into their bodies with one hand, drew their swords with the other, and stabbed each other in the chest, and finally they both fell at the same time.

In such a chaotic battlefield, no one dares to guarantee that they will not be injured or killed, and all of them are working with all their might, frantically slashing and killing all the enemies they can see around, and only when the enemy falls, they will be safe. A sharp long sword slashed at the top of Liu Xiu's head, Liu Xiu dodged sideways, and took advantage of the situation to clamp the opponent's sword-holding arm under his armpit, and then, he swung a sword, not attacking the reckless soldier who was caught by him, but swept to the side to attack

A reckless soldier. Burst! The edge of the Chixiao Sword flashed around the opponent's neck, and the opponent's head bounced out. Liu Xiu returned with another sword, and simply stabbed the reckless soldier he caught to the ground.

The reckless soldiers on the high platform of the building car are limited, but the reckless soldiers under the car can follow the building car, and continue to pour up to the high platform, and then run directly to the city by the high platform along the hanging board.

If you can't destroy the building car, the reckless soldiers on the city will never be able to kill it. When a reckless soldier ran over the hanging board and was about to jump off the arrow stack, Liu Xiu stepped forward and swept out with the Chixiao Sword.

Click, click! With two snaps, both of the soldier's feet were cut off, and his body fell sideways from the city. Liu Xiu jumped on the arrow battlement.

"Kill!" Several reckless soldiers rushed over, all holding spears in their hands, sharp spearheads, flashing with cold light, and stabbed Liu Xiu's chest viciously.

Liu Xiu swung the sword in his hand from the bottom to the top, and with a click, the three spears that pierced were cut off, and the severed spearheads swirled and flew into the air.

Bang, bang, bang! The three spears turned into three wooden sticks and stabbed on Liu Xiu's armor, leaving no traces. The faces of the three reckless soldiers changed suddenly, and they were about to retreat, but Liu Xiu approached forward and swung a sword fiercely at the same time.

Sand!

The blade of the sword swept past the necks of the three reckless soldiers, and immediately after, three bloody arrows flew out, and the three reckless soldiers stared at them in horror and fell on their backs.

They had just fallen, and three other reckless soldiers rushed to Liu Xiu's approach, and the three spears were still stabbing at the vital points on his body.

Liu Xiu subconsciously took two steps back, narrowly conceded three spears, and before he could raise his sword and rush back, he swished three arrows in a row from his back.

Look at the three reckless soldiers, all of them were shot in the face, or fell on the hanging board, or fell off the hanging board.

The archery is so accurate and can shoot so fast, except for Fu Jun, there will be no second.

Realizing that Fu Jun was behind him, Liu Xiu's fighting spirit soared, he broke off, continued to rush forward with his sword, and at the same time, he picked up a spear from the ground and stabbed it out with all his strength by the inertia of his body.

Burst! The opponent's spear slashed against Liu Xiu's shoulder, and Liu Xiu's spear pierced the opponent's chest. Click, click! At the same time as Liu Xiu pulled out his spear, he swung two swords to the left and right, cutting off the two spears that pierced him.

He yelled, leaned over and kicked the corpse of the soldier, kicking it back to the high platform of the building. Hula! The reckless soldiers on the high platform were knocked down. Liu Xiu turned around and shouted, "Fire oil!" ”

Fu Jun, who was at the head of the city, didn't say a word, picked up a small wooden barrel, put it on the hanging board, and pushed it hard, and the small wooden barrel rolled to Liu Xiu's feet with a gurgling face. Liu Xiu kicked the barrel into the high platform of the building car.

Seeing this, a reckless soldier was about to pick up the wooden barrel and throw it out of the car, when Liu Xiufei jumped over and pierced the opponent's chest with a spear. Then, with another sword, he slashed the barrel in half.

The small barrel cracked, and the black liquid inside immediately flowed out and spilled onto the platform.

Under the cover of Fu Jun's arrows, Liu Xiu jumped back to the hanging board from the high platform of the building car, and ran back to the city with a brisk walk.

The reckless soldiers on the high platform of the building car got up one after another, and some archers picked up bows and arrows and were about to release arrows at Liu Xiu, when Fu Jun's arrow shot first.

The arrow of this arrow was already tied to a burning strip of oilcloth. Syllable! The arrow landed on the high platform, and in an instant, I heard a whirring, and the high platform of the building car instantly turned into a fire platform.

In the raging fire, many of the reckless soldiers were set on fire, and people let out heart-rending screams, and many 'fire men' fell directly from the high platform.

The building car is not afraid of arrows, but it is afraid of fire. This building car, first the top of the building car caught fire, from the top to the bottom, it didn't take ten minutes, the whole building car turned into a train.

The reckless soldiers around them didn't dare to move forward at all, and dodged around, for fear that the building car would burn down and hit them.

After a successful blow, Liu Xiu continued to fight at the head of the city, shouting loudly: "Use fire oil to deal with the enemy's siege weapons!" ”

The Han army was able to use large quantities of fire oil to counterattack the Mang army, thanks to the defenders' supplies captured at Yangguan.

In Yangguan City, there are many rolling wood and stones, and the amount of fire oil is also a lot. With the Han army throwing in a large amount of oil, the Mang army's rushing cars, building cars, and ladder trucks suffered heavy losses, and more than 10 units were burned in a company.

Seeing that the enemy's offensive was still too fierce, Liu Xiu ordered to throw the wooden barrel filled with fire oil directly down the city wall, and after the barrel was broken, the fire oil spread under the city head, and then one by one, the torches were thrown down from the city head.

On the city walls and on the ground, there was fire oil flowing everywhere, and it caught fire.

In the blink of an eye, the outside of Yangguan City became a sea of fire. Countless reckless troops shouted and screamed in the sea of fire, and under the head of Yangguan City, thick smoke billowed and flames raged, which simply turned into purgatory on earth.

Such a tragic situation, not to mention that the reckless army outside the city was horrified, and their souls were scattered, and even the Han soldiers at the head of the city listened to the screams outside, and they all sweated profusely.

Some of the Han soldiers simply covered their ears, but the smell of burnt flesh still drilled into their nostrils.

Under the fire of the Han army, the reckless soldiers besieging the city retreated. After this battle, the 5,000-strong Mang army lost more than 2,000 people, and the 1,000-strong Han army also suffered nearly half of the casualties, with more than 400 people.

When the fire outside Yangguan City was extinguished, people looked down, and under the city wall, there were all charred, black corpses, and the corpses had been charred and twisted, and their condition was unbearable.

Looking at the reckless army retreating outside the city, the soldiers of the Han army, one by one, as if they had collapsed, sat on the head of the city one after another, sweat beads flowed down people's faces, and the military uniforms in the leather armor were soaked with sweat.

Liu Xiu was no exception, he leaned on the arrow stack, sitting on the ground, the Chixiao Sword was placed between his legs, his hands on his knees, shaking non-stop.

No matter who it is, after a long period of exertion, the body will have such a natural reaction.

I don't know how long it took, Feng Yi and Zhu You walked up to Liu Xiu, and the former bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "My lord, in this battle, our brothers in our army have killed 352 people, seriously injured 110 people, and minor injuries are not counted. ”

The so-called serious injuries refer to those who have completely lost their ability to fight, are missing arms and legs, and are dying, and the so-called minor injuries refer to those who can continue to fight with a pack of wounds.

Today's offensive and defensive battle was fought, and there were almost no uninjured soldiers in the Han army, and a soldier was picked out at random, and his body was more or less colored, even if it was Liu Xiu, there were several wounds on his body, but they were skin injuries, not serious.

Liu Xiu nodded to Feng Yi, indicating that he knew. At this time, a medical officer ran to Liu Xiu and said, "General, the villain bandages your wounds." ”

With the support of Zhu You and the medical officer, Liu Xiu stood up, slowly walked into the city gate tower, and then took off his armor and clothes, and let the medical officer treat the wounds.

In this battle, the casualties of the Han army were not small, and the casualties of the Mang army were even greater, not only losing more than 2,000 soldiers, but also losing a pioneer officer.

Song Yi took the remnants of more than 2,000 people, and withdrew from Wuli as soon as he retreated, feeling that it was far enough away from Yangguan, Song Yi ordered the soldiers under his command to set up camp.

Today's battle report, he didn't know how to write it, if it was truthfully reported, it is estimated that he did not die in the hands of the Han army, and he had to be beheaded by Dasikong Wangyi first.

Song Yi's strategists paid him a note, since the Ming attack on Yangguan failed, it was better to use the tactics of night attack.

After today's battle, it can also be seen that the number of Han troops in Yangguan City is not much, after the fierce battle during the day, the Han army must be exhausted, and at night, it is inevitable that they will be unable to do their best and neglect to take precautions.

If you take a night attack, you have a good chance of succeeding in one hit.

Song Yi felt that his strategists were reasonable, adopted the tactics of the strategists, and decided to attack Yangguan at night.

In the first half of the night, the Mang army has been resting in the camp, and in the second half of the night, Song Yi gathered the soldiers in the camp, quietly went out of the camp, and used the night as a cover, and touched the Yangguan silently.

For the sake of secrecy, this time the Mang army did not carry large siege weapons, and the only auxiliary tool they carried was a ladder.

When they approached Yangguan, they raised their eyes and saw that the strategists were really right, there were very few torches on the head of Yangguan City, and under the reflection of the firelight, there were almost no defenders.

The spies who were ambushed outside Yangguan reported to Song Yi that in the first half of the night, the guards and patrols could still be seen, but in the second half of the night, there was no shadow of the Han army on the city. Hearing this, Song Yi nodded secretly, sure enough, in the battle during the day, the Han army was exhausted, barely survived the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, it couldn't hold on. Take the trick of night attack, you really used it right!
