Chapter 47: The Battle of Hangu Pass (2)
"Knock knock, knock——!"
One long, two short, three horns rose into the sky, followed by a roar: "A thousand shortthrowers are in place——! ”
"Knock knock, knock!"
Two long and one short three horns followed, followed by a hoarse long howl: "Two thousand hands are in place——! ”
"Knock knock knock! Boom! ”
The drumstick in Hu Hai's hand smashed the surface of the sheepskin drum, and suddenly roared: "Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!" ”
……
"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!"
"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!"
"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!"
……
The huge trumpet, with the belief of resolutely sweeping away thousands of troops, was like a burst of thunder crushing into the distance. This is Hu Hai's determination and the belief of the soldiers of the Qin army.
The iron blood and military soul of the Great Qin Empire, in Hangu Pass, a pass that witnessed the rise and fall of Great Qin, once again came from the bottom of his heart and will surely shock the world.
……
At this moment, the army in the distance had condensed into a vast blue, red, and purple forest. 100,000 troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance came all over the mountains and fields, and they were mighty.
……
"Attack!"
Wei Wangbao roared angrily, the long sword was unsheathed, and the whole person was full of amazing edges.
Then he roared with his sword and said: "The first person to climb the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold and sealed a thousand households!" ”
……
"The King of Wei has an order: the first person to climb the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold and a thousand households!"
……
The sound of a huge trumpet spread throughout the army. For a time, morale was high and momentum was like a rainbow.
For the soldiers on the bloody battlefield, the amount of the bounty is something outside the body, and it may not be able to receive it if it dies in battle.
But this thousand fiefdoms are descendants who inherit the eternal title, which is really a peerless reward and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As soon as such a peerless reward came out, the soldiers of the three armies were full of blood, just like the three military academies, and they came to Hangu Pass like a tsunami.
……
"Knock, knock, knock——!"
……
Suddenly, rumbling war drums swept across the field, and three huge infantry phalanxes pushed cloud chariots and carried cloud ladders, and angry clouds rolled towards this small pass city in the rolling mountains.
……
Hu Hai at the head of the city roared: "Light up the wolf smoke and beacon fire - fight!" ”
"Yes."
With Hu Hai's order, the most important battle in the chaotic era at the end of Qin began.
……
At this moment, Hu Hai still remembered the words of Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, before leaving the customs: "Your Majesty, once the army attacks the city, can the 10,000-strong army support it for three days?" ”
At that time, Hu Hai thought for a moment, and said: "Don't worry, there is no rescue outside, and I can support the ten-day sun!" ”
Wang Ben was silent for a while: "Okay, the minister will not increase the troops." But the wolf smoke, even if Your Majesty starts fighting, it will support for three days, which is enough! ”
……
Looking at the city today, Hu Hai knew that this was an unprecedented fierce battle. Due to his unfamiliarity with ancient warfare, he could only deploy according to the advance plan.
"Chuan Zhen order: 10,000 armor soldiers are divided into two squads to meet the enemy, each squad is 5,000, and every two hours is rotated, 1,000 guerrillas, and there is a struggle to immediately support there."
"Yes!"
……
The three armies of Qi, Wei and Zhao each led 10,000 troops to attack the city, but the terrain they faced was very different. The Zhao army, which was attacking in the center, was facing the towering arrow tower.
The outer city avenue, together with the gentle hillside of the road, is only one or two miles wide in total. This is the axis of Hangu Pass and the main direction of the siege.
"Poof!"
Sima Wei was eager to seize the first skill, and the long sword was unsheathed in vain: "A hundred people have a cloud ladder, a thousand people have a cloud chariot, immediately attack the city, and three thousand crossbowmen will suppress the Qin army's arrows head-on!" ”
"Yui!"
……
"Whew-"
At this moment, the horn sounded, and Sima Wei roared: "Release the arrow!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The three thousand pairs of strong bows and crossbows in formation fired at one another, and a dense rain of arrows poured violently towards the arrow tower and the city wall in a scream.
For a while, the arrow tower wall of Hangu Pass was flooded by the rain of arrows coming from the sky, and the blur almost disappeared suddenly from between the canyons.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
At this moment, the drums of war are rising. Fifty hundred-man teams hugged the ladder and pushed the cloud chariot mountain to rush to the city wall like a tsunami.
At this moment, Sima Wei was overjoyed. As long as the cloud ladder is on the city wall, the cloud chariot is erected under the city, and the rain of arrows under the city stops pouring, this siege battle can immediately enter hand-to-hand combat.
……
Hu Hai hid behind the female wall under the arrow tower, staring at Zhao Jun who was attacking frantically.
Even if the cloud ladder roared against the city wall, the cloud chariot was also erected, and the city climbing warriors had already stepped on the cloud chariot wooden ladder, Hu Hai still did not give an order.
He knew in his heart that although Hangu Pass was strong, it was known as the first Xiongguan in the world. However, there were only 10,000 armor soldiers in Guanzhong, and they had to hold it for three days.
Therefore, the timing of the war must be just right. As soon as he made a move, he gave Zhao Jun the most violent blow.
"Beat the drums, kill the enemy!" In vain, Hu Hai held an iron halberd and raised his arms and shouted.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Suddenly, the drums of Hangu Guancheng were loud, and the sound of bangs was loud, as if the thunder of the nine days had exploded.
"Rock launch!"
Dense boulders rumbled down the slope of the city walls, wave after wave, and endlessly. Under the violent impact of this rumbling boulder, the cloud car ladder clicked and clicked, and in an instant, it was destroyed.
"Crossbowmen fire!"
At the same time, Hu Hai's order came just in time, and a dense rain of arrows was shot from the arrow holes all over the female wall, and the soldiers who only cared about dodging the boulders made live arrow targets.
One by one, the arrows were bloodily inserted into the cracks of the big rocks, unable to move half a step, and in a short time, most of the first batch of 5,000 soldiers were killed and wounded.
Sima Wei's face was pale, and he couldn't shout if he wanted to shout, so he held back for a moment, jumped to his feet and shouted: "The second formation will go again!" If you can't take Hangu Pass, give me death! ”
……
The Wei army in the north and the Qi army in the south, opposite are the mountains lined with trees and strange rocks. The army stood at the foot of the mountain, and could only see the wolf smoke of the banner on the Hangu Pass in the distance.
Not to mention the onslaught, even if you climb to the foot of the Great Wall, it will be even more difficult!
……
The field looked at the big rocks on the hillside for a moment, looked at the direction of the wind, and gritted his teeth and roared: "Burn!" - Burn down these mountains and forests and set out a road! ”
"Yui!"
The Qi army shouted, and dozens of barrels of fire oil were brought from the rear army's baggage trucks, and they were specially poured into the dense forests.
"Boom!"
As soon as the torch was raised, the fire burned up along the mountain, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and the fire rose to the sky, like a fire dragon in the catastrophe.
The billowing smoke turned into a black dragon that covered the ancient and the present, soaring up to 90,000 miles with the wind. Even the beacon fire and wolf smoke on the wall of Hangu Pass were overshadowed at this moment.
Standing in place, the soldiers of the Qi army felt the terrifying heat, and sweat dripped from their foreheads. In particular, the wind blew, the grass and trees flew ashes, and the army was extremely embarrassed.
……
"The army retreats!"
The field waved his hand, his heart was overjoyed, he laughed, and said, "Good wind, God help me, burn it for me——! ”
