Chapter 669
Just as Gongsun Kang began to pass through the suspension bridge, on the top of the city tower, Li Xiang and Shan Liang respectively commanded the Black Wind Archers and the Xinchang County National Soldiers to speed up the shooting of the enemy army. Looking at Gongsun Kang who fled in the desert, the two people who looked at each other showed a knowing smile, one was happy to hit Gongsun Kang's cavalry too coolly, and he was wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour with a full 2,000 people, in fact, there were still 500 cavalry trapped in the urn city because they were all hidden and did not know the specific situation, and the other was to admire Guan Yu's deployment, the art master was bold, and when the enemy army was superior, he thought about how to defend the city but how to retreat the enemy when he attacked in a big way, which explained that the best defense is to attack.
The admiration for Guan Yu in his heart, like a surging river, put the enemy army in, and then send the defenders out, such a bold decision, if you eat the bear's heart and leopard guts, who dares to make a decision easily, just like Yan Rou said, if there is a slight deviation, it is likely to end up with the destruction of the city and the death of people.
But Guan Yu was full of confidence in his deployment, in fact, before the battle, Guan Yu was also very hesitant, at first he did not dare to boldly send the mine army out of the city, but after sending Shiren, considering that it was difficult to delay the enemy army for too long, he had to send the mine army, this is an extremely bold decision, if the mine army cannot successfully block the enemy infantry, then Xinchang City will really be finished, so now Guan Yu, who is in command of the overall situation, is not at ease in his heart, compared to Shan Liang and Li Xiang, who are killing the rise, he is under unprecedented pressure, It is hoped that the mine army will be able to delay the arrival of the Xiangping infantry as much as possible.
Li Xiang commanded the archers to shoot arrows frantically, and at this moment, facing the outside of the city, the huge bed crossbow finally came in handy.
The bed crossbow was improved by Ou Yejian during the Lu Long period, and the speed of the upward guide was much faster. Now, under his improvement, he can fire several giant arrows at a time, and this good thing single beam has experienced once. I don't have to say anything about the power, but it's an air shot. It feels like hugging a girl who can only touch it, although it is also very comfortable, but the heart is really unhappy, and now he can show his strength, you say that he can not be excited, this is not excited, even the shirt is taken off, how can you feel the cold night breeze when you are bare-chested? I can imagine how excited he is at the moment, waw wow screaming, but there is still a trace of regret. If there was such a sharp weapon in Liaoxi many years ago, it would be really cool for Hu Lu!
The single beam who is good at defending the city knows better than anyone the value of a bed crossbow with a bow and multiple arrows, and Liu Lan, the initiator, knows it better, and he even proposed to improve the catapult not long ago, the current catapult is extremely simple compared with the catapult he knows, not only can it not move, but the accuracy is extremely low, and there will even be accidental injuries or even a situation where it is only high but not far away. So Liu Lan put forward his suggestions or ideas on this basis, as for whether the improvement can be successful, Liu Lan pinned all his hopes on Ou Yejian, if it can really succeed. In the future, whether it is used for defense or offense, Shan Liang is afraid that he will be happy to keep his mouth shut.
At this moment, the single beam that had already come to the bed crossbow instantly shot a huge arrow. Shot through several people in a row, and even a war horse was penetrated in an instant, and the terrifying scene almost made both sides stop breathing in an instant. For a long time, there were fierce cheers from the tower. The cavalry below was even more panicked and evacuated, scrambling to be the first, the scene just now was too terrifying for them, and no one wanted to be killed through a huge hole in their bodies.
The evacuation was faster, but the arrows flying all over their heads kept falling, and if they wanted to escape, they had to pass through the suspension bridge, how could the suspension bridge a few zhang wide allow more than a thousand horsemen to pass at the same time, so that this not too long suspension bridge completely became the funeral ground of the Xiangping cavalry.
The cavalry that could not rush forward suffered an unprecedented blow, and although the endless arrows could not harvest too many lives under their defense, they were really miserable, and what was extremely terrifying was the dozens of huge crossbow arrows that could fly at a time, listening to the huge sound of the bed crossbow firing from the castle tower every moment, watching the huge arrows mercilessly harvesting the lives of their comrades, all they could do was hope that they would not be the unlucky guy.
Under the killing of the bed crossbow, that is, the kung fu of half a pillar of incense, more than 1,000 horsemen killed hundreds of people on the way to break through.
The cavalry was completely panicked, crowded, no one wanted to stay here for even a quarter of an hour, scrambling, but this only made it impossible for everyone to pass safely, and they couldn't let them mess around like this, they had to come forward to stop them, but the current situation, even he wasn't sure how many cavalry would listen to him at this time, just when he was about to shout and don't mess up, and the three of them passed quickly in a row, the fifth drum sounded in Xinchang City, and the piercing drums sounded again, although it is still not clear what the purpose of these drums is, But by this time, even if he did not understand, it was clear that this was an order to deal with him, perhaps to confirm his suspicions, and as the drums fell, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance.
Gongsun Kang's face changed completely.
Caught in the trap, must have been trapped, otherwise there will be no defenders in the urn city, otherwise there will be no flammable wood on the city tower, it is already obvious, they want to take advantage of Liu Lan's entry into the city to attack the city The idea of attacking the city was not only seen by them in advance, but also planned to arrange a series of deployments and set a trap waiting for him to get in, what bullshit to raise the drawbridge, what to slowly close the city gate, this is completely to lure him into the bait.
Who is it, and whose hands are you defeated?
This was the answer that Gongsun Kang wanted to know most now, and this answer even made him forget for a moment that the cavalry that was still being attacked by the rain of arrows was in trouble.
Until now, he doesn't even know who his opponent is, Liu Lan, yes, but he is not the commander of this battle, but besides him, who else in Xinchang City has such means?
Although Gongsun Kang didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that his opponent was too terrible, so terrible that he didn't leave him any hope, so terrible that he let him fall into despair step by step.
From the beginning of the retreat, he believed that he would be able to lead most of his men to garrison the outer city gates. But when the sea of fire appeared, although there was still hope, he lost half of his men. When he passed through the drawbridge, the bed crossbow put him in a desperate situation, but it was still possible to escape, but the appearance of the enemy horse made him completely understand that he had completely lost hope of escape.
The enemy cavalry appeared, approaching quickly, the Xiangping cavalry could no longer take care of a lot, could not pass through the suspension bridge, jumped directly into the moat and swam over, in the north, the people who are well versed in water are not nothing, but the landlubber is more, and the Xinchang moat is two zhang deep, just out of the water, there are a large number of drowning people, but no one has the time to save them, even if it is Gongsun Kang, the dragoon came too fast, he who wanted to escape was finally robbed, there was no way back, he could only face the dragoon head-on.
At this moment, he is going to make the last desperate battle! (To be continued......)
