Chapter 233: The Battle of Martial Arts 17

Gao Shun dodged an arrow from his sideways and shouted, "Don't worry about crashing, the trebuchet will attack the enemy's wells continuously...... Crossbowmen attack enemy archers, others prepare to counterattack enemy troops to enter the city, be sure to keep all enemies out of the camp! ”

Under the continuous counterattack of the Yizhou army's trebuchet, the Xiliang army has lost eight wells, although the rockets of the Yizhou army did not burn the Xiliang army's wells, but the countless rockets burned under the smoke pillars gathered mosquitoes into thunder, and actually formed a smoke barrier, blocking the sight of the archers on the wells, the rising smoke was even more smoked their tears, choking they coughed non-stop, many soldiers couldn't bear it, and climbed down the wells, Li Wei saw this without hesitation and ordered to cut more than a dozen people who escaped from the battle, which stopped the rout, But those who had already gone down the well said that they didn't want to go up to suffer that sin, and they mixed into the army in a flash, and there was no way to tell the difference, Li Wei couldn't, so he had to order his own soldiers to guard under each well, but anyone who escaped was killed.

At this time, there were less than half of the normal soldiers left on the well, and many of these people left on the well did not care about suppressing the Yizhou army at all, covering their mouths and coughing violently, some people really couldn't bear it, tore off a large piece of clothing, untied their pants and peed on it, regardless of the strong fishy smell and covered their mouths and noses, others saw the same thing, and for a time hundreds of Xiliang troops on the well were untied at the same time, what a spectacular scene! A small number of Xiliang troops were still firing their bows and arrows, but under the cover and stimulation of the smoke, the combat effectiveness was less than 20% of the normal, and the effect could be imagined, and the soldiers of the Yizhou Army suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced.

Of course, the trebuchets of the Western Liang Army also made a series of threats, destroying five arrow towers.

Bursts of frightened screams suddenly sounded near the crash that rushed forward recklessly, and almost at the same moment, the crash and dozens of Xiliang troops nearby suddenly disappeared......

It turned out that Gao Shun, who was well versed in the art of war, had already dug several deep pits three zhang square near the city gate, and the pits were full of sharpened wood with the thickness of the wrist, and it was difficult for people to survive once they fell into the pits. In order to prevent a single or a small number of enemy troops from triggering the pit and reduce the lethality of the pit, Gao Shun specially ordered people to deliberately add a layer of relatively strong wood when hiding the pit, and then cover up the traces with soil. The wood on the top of the pit can withstand several soldiers walking at the same time, but more than ten will not work, and when the Xiliang army pushes and shouts to break the Yizhou army camp, it is very happy and sad......

In the pit, wailing erupted, most of the nearly forty Xiliang soldiers had lost their lives, and almost all of the rest were injured, some were pierced by sharp logs, and some were crushed by the overturned crash...... If the rescue is urgent, maybe three or five can be saved, but this is in the fierce battlefield, who cares about their life and death? Who has time to care about their life and death?

The lethality of the pit did not disappear, the high-morale Xiliang army rushed forward with a shout of the crash car, and the soldiers in front immediately realized that something was wrong after seeing the crash disappear, and quickly stopped. However, after tens of thousands of troops have launched an operation, how can the force that destroy the city be stopped? The people behind didn't know what was going on, and continued to rush forward, not to mention their fleshy feet at this time, even a pair of iron feet had to be twisted, and the people in front were jumped off the cliff in a frightened scream......

"Stop, stop, stop, there's a trap ahead...... Ah............h

From time to time, someone falls into the pit, and after a few moments, the flesh and blood of the person completely buries the sharp wood, but the death continues! There is no sharp wood rich in murder, and there are sharp weapons in the pit that the person in front of him brought down after falling......

"Stop, stop, take a detour...... Dao ...... "In the efforts of many soldiers of the Xiliang Army, the people behind finally reacted, and the pit was like the mainstay, and the waves and floods were helpless against it, so they only scored left and right.

An inventory of 147 enemy soldiers was found in this pit, and five enemy soldiers were lucky to survive, although all with injuries of varying severity......

Gao Shun saw that the enemy army had fallen into a brief period of confusion and ownerlessness after falling into the pit, and immediately seized the opportunity and ordered the crossbowmen to attack the enemy with all their might, and the battle was fruitful.

On the other side, Li Dao quickly stabilized the morale of the army, and another crashed car was pushed by the soldiers onto the bridge made of sacks.

"Ah......" There was another scream of horror, and the Yizhou army on the earthen wall immediately found that on the left and right sides of the first pit, a three-zhang square no-man's land was exposed in the Xiliang army formation, and the other two traps were also trampled down by the swarming enemy troops......

"Okay......" The Yizhou army suddenly let out bursts of cheers.

Li Dao quickly confirmed the location and scale of the pit, and he realized that it was unlikely that he would break through the gate of the enemy's camp, because the heavy crash car could not fly, and it was impossible for the soldiers to brave the enemy's arrow rain to carry such a big guy over, unless the bodies of countless soldiers were used to completely fill a certain pit, there was no other way! Therefore, Li Dao immediately ordered the crash car that had already been dispatched to take immediate action, sabotage on the left side of the city gate, and collapse the enemy's earthen wall with all his might, the Yizhou military camp was only a temporary earthen wall, and the defense was relatively limited, and it was possible to directly crash into it if the car crashed.

The left side of the north gate is guarded by Li Yan, through the two battles, the experienced Li Dao found that although the three roads of the north gate are all defended by elite troops, but a careful comparison can still find that the middle of the three roads is the weakest among the three roads (of course, this is not to say that Li Yan and his first division are not good, but it is the case relative to the other two branches), this time and the last battle, although the left defenders are crazy, they would rather die than retreat, which has brought serious losses to their own side, but the left defenders are also the most killed by their own side. In line with the "wise and clear words" of eating and picking up the soft, Li Dao shifted the focus of the attack to the left, not only arranging the crash on the left side, hoping to collapse the enemy's fragile earthen wall with the powerful destructive force of the collision, but also transferred a large number of infantry from the left flank, and even the configuration of trebuchets and shafts began to tilt to the left......

When the crash finally arrived at the earthen wall with all its might, the Xiliang army couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers, as if the city was about to be broken. But what disappointed them was that the huge crash car hit the earthen wall under the operation of more than 20 soldiers, and the huge vibration made the Yizhou army above their heads startled, feeling as if they were experiencing a short earthquake again and again, but it only scared the Yizhou army, in fact, the high-hopedly crashed car did not exert the power expected by the Xiliang army, and the impact again and again only left many pits more than half a foot deep on the earthen wall, not to mention the collapse of the earthen wall, not even a thin crack.

The Yizhou army did not let go of the crash, under the command of Gao Shun, several boulders weighing more than two hundred catties were thrown down, the boulder accurately hit the crash, but it was not able to destroy it, Gao Shun waved his hand, and four soldiers picked up a bigger boulder and threw it down, only to hear a loud sound of "��", the spokes of the front wheel of the collision could not bear the force of the boulder when it fell, and they broke one by one, and the front wheel was damaged after the collision of the car was raised high and the butt was cut off.

Li Dao saw that the car crashed and was destroyed again, although he was angry in his heart, but he was helpless, so he had to order the whole army to use 20 percent of his strength to attack the city, and he must take Liu Zhang's camp today. All Xiliang veterans, from the general to the pawn, are all unclear, once they fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo, they want to come out unless the sun hits the west and comes out, in the face of Li Dao's naked threat, generals at all levels have to go to the front line to supervise the battle, lest they be involved in a book by Li Dao.

The Xiliang army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, seemed to be red-eyed, Gao Shun immediately felt a huge pressure, and after watching the enemy break through the camp wall in several places, he had to order the reserve team to go up the city wall to help the battle.

Although the reserve army quickly ascended the city wall, whether it was the Tiger Guard, the Independent First Brigade, or Li Yan's Li First Division, the number was relatively limited, and in the face of several times or even ten times the enemy, there were still frequent dangers, and Gao Shun could only send reinforcements drawn from Hou Cheng's Fifth Division, Yang Ren's Fifth Brigade, and Wu Ban's Sixth Brigade to the earthen wall. It's only been more than two hours since the battle, and Gao Shun has no reserves, so it can be seen that the Xiliang Army is by no means an easy person, and if you are not careful, you will inevitably be swallowed up by its belt bones! No, it is not entirely correct to say that Gao Shun does not have reserves, at this time he still has a soldier and horse in his hand, that is the thousands of wolf horses of Huaxiong's first cavalry division! However, this army and horses he never intended to defend the city, for the role of Huaxiong and his subordinates, Gao Shun had two plans, one was to protect Liu Zhang from the siege at a critical juncture, and go west to join Wei Yan, and the other was to make him out of the camp to raid Dong Zhuo when the battle situation was anxious, so as to relieve the danger of the camp. The two tasks just seem to be difficult, although the Xiliang cavalry is famous all over the world, but the first cavalry division is not in vain, and they are also Hua Xiong, the former first tiger general of the Xiliang Army, trained by the first tiger general, it may not be possible to break through the Xiliang cavalry, but it is relatively easy to break out of the encirclement, and there are tens of thousands of Yizhou elites in Yixian County one hundred and ten miles away, Huaxiong protected Liu Zhang's desperate rush to Yixian, and he could turn the danger into a disaster in less than a day, as for the attack on Dong Zhuo, he quickly disengaged, It was even easier to retreat back to the camp under the cover of the defenders!
