Chapter Seventy-One: The Battle of Huguan (2)

"Those who don't beat the drum, slash!"

Under the rain of arrows, Hou Cheng roared!

Even if there is a shield to resist the rain of arrows that are pouring in, there is also a mistake in Baimi! How can a shield block the dense array of arrows and flying stones? Someone is falling, someone is wailing! Even the big oar, which is more than one person high, can't stop the dense rain of arrows! At this time, Hou Cheng could only hide his head deep under the shield, constantly roaring, and raising his morale!

The distance from the soldiers to the city wall was the most uncomfortable! Because at this time, the rain of arrows in the city will come in a hurry, and the condescending crossbowmen don't need to aim, they just need to shoot the feather arrows quickly! Rounds of arrows rained down from the sky, accompanied by the screams of countless people and the blood shed.

"Stay in formation!"

Hou Cheng roared!

Under the resistance of the shield, the formation is not chaotic, and it can also block many arrows! But if the formation is chaotic and rushes up with a bloody force, it will completely increase the casualties in vain! After all, at this time, there is still a distance of nearly two hundred steps from the city wall, which is completely the powerful period of strong bows and crossbow arrows!

"Put!"

After the besieging soldiers faced that round of arrow rain, they naturally began to fight back! Tall wells are slowly entering! The well is a kind of siege weapon, known as the "mobile arrow tower" often has three and a half stories high, on the well wall, stand more than a dozen crossbowmen, condescendingly, for the soldiers defending the city to carry out a wide range of strafing! In the role of siege, the role played by the well is very important!

"Woohoo!"

A rain of arrows shot towards the city!

The crossbowmen on Huguan Castle have finally tried the taste of being shot! After a few rounds of arrows, the crossbowmen defending the city also suffered heavy losses! Duck your head and dodge! And after the crossbowmen in the city were suppressed, the pressure of Hou Cheng and other siege soldiers was greatly reduced! Swift forward! After a few rounds of arrows from the crossbowmen on both sides, the city wall was only a few dozen paces away! Hou Cheng removed his shield and roared, "Siege!" ”

Besiege!

A command!

The soldiers who had maintained the formation and slowly advanced rushed towards the city wall with a roar! Dozens of paces away, a charge can be reached! And in such a short period of time, even the crossbowmen in the city can put a round or two of arrow rain to no avail!

High ladders, one after another, were erected on the city wall! And along with the ladder, it is also the tall and mighty rushing car! Under the vigorous push of dozens of soldiers, slowly arrived at the city gate!

"Shoot me the arrows!"

Yang Chou was angry.

Those huge wells really put a lot of pressure on the guards of the city! Originally, the crossbowmen in the city could have exerted a greater advantage, but under the suppression of the crossbowmen on the well, they did not make much advantage! And what made Yang Chou even more angry was that these wells, ladders, and even rushing cars, and many of them were lost to Lu Bu after his last defeat! Now Lu Bu is using these siege weapons to control them again.

Many of the soldiers were already approaching the walls, and the siege soldiers were beginning to suffer heavy casualties! On the one hand, you have to withstand the flying arrows, and on the other hand, you have to fight with the soldiers who are climbing!

Countless rolling logs and gravel were thrown from the city walls! But these still can't stop the siege soldiers who are going forward one after another! When one falls, another makes up! After a quarter of an hour, I don't know how many corpses had piled up in the city......

"Pour!"

When the guards of the city vigorously drained the hot oil and hot water contained in the jar from the city, for a while, the city did not know how many screams and wails came from the city!

………

On the nest car, Lu Bu looked at this tragic scene with cold eyes, and his heart couldn't help but be moved!

The fighting in the era of cold weapons is definitely no less tragic than the era of hot weapons! The fighting in the era of cold weapons, the handover of hand-to-arms, and the battle of blood and fire are also extremely cruel......

"Mingjin!"

Lu Bu ordered.

After several rounds of attacks, there were at least hundreds of corpses of soldiers under the city! If he continues to attack like this, Lu Bu can't afford this kind of price! After all, the lives of the soldiers under Lu Bu's command are now very valuable!

After witnessing this kind of tragic siege battle, Lu Bu began to shake some things! If he really stormed Huguan so strongly, even if he won, Lu Bu would go bankrupt......

Since the decision to issue pensions to the soldiers, the benefits brought to Lu Bu are obvious, but there are also many disadvantages! Lu Bu can't afford a big defeat! If you win, you may get a lot of loot! But if he loses, and if he loses, I'm afraid Lu Bu won't be able to afford the heavy price at all.

A tragic battle!

Lu Bu's goal has been achieved, and if he continues to attack, there will be no big benefit.

Watching the soldiers under the city slowly retreat, Yang Chou, who had experienced a bloody battle, laughed, "Okay! According to this pot pass, I see what he Lu Bu can do to me! ”

Beside Yang Chou, his solid mood is not as relaxed as Yang Chou. In today's battle, the losses of both sides can be said to be about the same! But you must know that they are the result of fighting because they occupy the Huguan Heavenly Danger and are based on the city wall! The bravery of those soldiers under Lu Bu reminded him of the battle of shooting dogs again! In that battle, Yang Chou led 20,000 elites, and he was unexpectedly vulnerable! In the end, the whole army was wiped out, and even the 2,000 elite horsemen did not escape. Su Gu led some remnants of the army, and fled into this pot pass in panic, and now he is guarding this pot pass, what else is there to worry about?

But at this time, I'm afraid I don't understand Yang Chou's mood! After a big defeat, people will inevitably leave a shadow in their hearts!! Shooting dogs gathered to fight, making Yang Chou hate and fear Lu Bu! Now that Lu Bu is far away, he doesn't dare to go out of the city to face the battle, so he can only defend the pass, at this time, even if it is just a small victory, it will make him feel very happy! Because his victory means Lu Bu's defeat!

"Tonight, there should be a feast!"

Yang Chou glanced at Zhenggu, under Yang Chou's command, Zhenggu's ability is definitely top-notch, but Yang Chou has not been reused! The reason for this is, firstly, that he is not a cronie, and secondly, he is not a cronie! Zheng Gu was originally a thief, and Zhang Yang defected later! It can be said that it was Zhang Yang who made Zheng Gu surrender, not him Yang Chou! For these reasons, after all, Yang Chou knows his ability, but he does not reuse it.

However, none of this affects Yang Chou's happiness today! patted Su Gu on the shoulder, "White Rabbit, you are also quite hard to defend the city today, so come to the banquet in the evening!" ”

"Thank you, lord!"

He leaned over and looked at the elated Yang Chou, but there was no joy on his face.
