Chapter 608: Attacking Longguan
Ma Chao's palm was originally cracked by Huang Zhong. The arm was also sore.
Han will use a hard bow and great strength.
Although Ma Chao received this fatal blow, his arm could no longer grasp the five-hook divine flying silver spear.
The silver spear came out of its hand and landed on the ground.
Ma Chao looked back and wanted to pull Ma to pick up the gun.
Pang De seemed to understand Ma Chao's thoughts, stopped Ma Chao, and said: "I have lost the five-hook god flying silver spear, and the young master still has a tiger head Zhan golden spear." When the young master dismounts and picks up the gun, he will definitely be caught up and shot to death. Why bother! ”
Ma Chao had no choice but to give up his love for guns and run wild on the horse with all his might.
Tens of thousands of troops came out, but only two people returned.
Even if Jingshui flows south, it can't wash away today's shame.
After Ma Chao and Pang De fled, only a few breaths, all eight of their personal guards cavalry were killed.
The general of the Han army looked pity, and then came to the place where Ma Chao dropped the gun and picked up the five-hook Shenfei silver spear.
He stroked the body of the five-hook god flying silver spear and exclaimed, "Good gun!"
On the other side, after Huang Zhong learned that Ma Chao and Pang De had escaped, he began to clear the remnants.
Surrounded by clear water, camp by camp probe.
When the time came, all the remnants of Ma Chao and Pang De were annihilated.
"I heard that the general has seriously injured Ma Chao, even so, Ma Chao can still block my contemplation arrow, it is really powerful! But I'll shoot his weapon down, and I'll ask the general to take a look! ”
Huang Zhong's son, Huang Xu, presented the five-hook god flying silver spear to Huang Zhong and said to Huang Zhong.
"Since you took it, I'll give you this gun. As soon as Ma Chao tied his hair, force will outperform you, you have to study hard, I don't want you to fall into my reputation. ”
Huang Zhong said to Huang Xu, his tone stern.
"The last general will definitely live up to the general's expectations."
Huang Xuyan replied.
Huang Xu was twenty years old, and at this time he had already gotten rid of the sick and weak body of a few years ago.
Huang Xu has been learning martial arts since he was a child, but it was just a serious illness that was delayed for a long time.
After recovering from his illness, Huang Xu studied hard and joined the army at the age of eighteen.
When Huang Xu joined the army, the pacification of Xianbei and the Xiongnu had already come to an end, so now he is just a military Sima.
From what Huang Xu and Huang Zhong talked about, it is clear that Huang Xu is a very rigorous person.
Yu is called a general in public and his father in private.
Huang Zhong also hoped that Huang Xu would make a difference, and he was extremely strict with Huang Xu. But I love and care for my only son very much.
"The one who escaped with Ma Chao, is there still a thief on a white horse?"
At the end, Huang Zhong asked Huang Xu again.
"General, only Ma Chao and the White Horse Thief will flee."
Huang Xu replied to Huang Zhong.
"The white horse thief will be named Pang De, with excellent martial arts, and the wind of ten thousand enemies, which is stronger than Ma Chao. Be cautious. ”
Huang Zhong reminded Huang Xu, and then said regretfully: "Ma Chao has fled, and he can't attack the city further, so let's wait for the prime minister's army to arrive!"
Although Huang Zhong really wanted to take the lead in ascending, it was too unwise for the cavalry to attack the city.
"No!"
Huang Xu received the order.
"Heal the wounded and the disabled, and restrain the war heroes. Cloth camp rests. Tomorrow we will clean up the scene and bury the bodies. ”
Huang Zhong ordered the generals again.
"No......"
……
Two days later, on the banks of the Qingshui River.
Smoke and dust are billowing out, flags are waving the sun, and gongs and drums are noisy. Dozens of miles of foot riding are connected, and they go straight to Longguan.
This is Liu Fan's main force has arrived.
Huang Zhong personally welcomed Liu Fan into the camp. The armies were staggered and camped beside the clear water.
"The last general failed to open Longguan, which disappointed the prime minister."
Below, Huang Zhong arched his hand to Liu Fan on the main seat and said.
"I have received the military intelligence letter delivered by Hansheng a few days ago. The strategy of luring the enemy was very good, and tens of thousands of enemies were annihilated in the first battle, and the rebels were greatly defeated, and the famous general of Gaigu was also. Hansheng weakened the power of Longguan and created an opportunity for our infantry to attack the city. Great work. ”
Liu Fan praised Huang Zhong, and then said to the generals present: "Longguan is the gateway to Hanyang County, and there is a Longshan barrier around it, blocking our army from entering Liangzhou. General Huang Zhong won first, who can take the credit and pull out this pass. and the army of 100,000 marched in. ”
"The last general is willing to lead his troops to go!"
Hu Zhen got up and said.
"The last will go."
Duan Xuan also wanted to fight for this credit.
Xu Huang and Yang Ding were not to be outdone and wanted to take this credit.
"Wencai, build siege equipment today, and tackle key problems tomorrow. I will gather the strong crossbowmen of the whole army under Longguan to help you tackle the key problems. You only have one day, if you can't capture Longguan tomorrow, you will change to Duan Xuan to tackle the problem. ”
Liu Fan ordered Hu Zhen to lead his subordinates to attack the city. Give Hu Zhen a chance.
"No!"
Hu Zhen's face was red-faced and red-eared, and he was full of confidence.
But my heart is very solemn. If you can't capture Longguan tomorrow, you will have to change to Duan Xuan.
This is the first time he has performed in front of Liu Fan. Relationship the road ahead.
At such a moment, no one wants the lord to doubt his abilities.
On the same day, Hu Zhen organized soldiers to cut down trees to prepare for building ladder trucks, nest cars and other siege equipment.
Early the next morning, Hu Zhen led 10,000 infantry to push the siege equipment and came to the bottom of Longguan.
Following Hu Zhen was the three thousand strong crossbowmen that Liu Fan had mobilized for him.
The three thousand strong crossbows are all arm-drawn crossbows that are convenient for attacking the city.
"We are all good men. This Longguan seems to be tall, but in fact it is vulnerable. Countless generals scrambled to attack Longguan. But the prime minister gave us the opportunity. In order not to disappoint the prime minister, we will fight with all our might. Soldiers, those who ascend first, a thousand gold, attack! ”
Hu Zhen stood 200 steps away from the gate of Longguan with his sword raised, and gave orders to the soldiers carrying sacks.
At the same time, the crossbowman stood 200 paces away from the pass and shot crossbow arrows at the pass.
"They will fill in the moat and the ravine in front of the pass, and they will not let them succeed."
Pound crouched on the female wall, dodging the rain of crossbow arrows.
Each crossbow arrow carries a strong sound of breaking through the sky.
Some Xiliang soldiers who were careless in dodging were shot directly on the city wall.
Unlike bows and arrows, those who are hit by crossbow arrows will die for life.
"There are too many crossbowmen under the pass, and they stand too far away for our bows and arrows to shoot at them. This rain of arrows is so dense that it can't come out at all. ”
One of the Xiliang lieutenants under his command hid behind the female wall and said to Pound.
"This is a tough battle, and we have already gained the advantage by relying on Xiongguan. Even if you are shot by the enemy, you must shoot the arrows down, and you must also throw the thunder stone and the rolling wood down the pass. ”
Pound ordered, his tone decisive.
He was the first to show his head and fired an arrow at a Han soldier who was filling the moat.
After shooting an arrow, Pound immediately hid behind the women's wall.
The rest of the Xiliang soldiers scrambled to follow suit, and although from time to time someone fell with a crossbow, it slowed down the speed at which the Han soldiers filled the moat and ravine.
"Order Hu Zhen, and then make three thousand archers one hundred and fifty steps to the city gate, and throw them above Longguan, this distance, the arrow can just fall on the city wall."
Liu Fan stood on the high platform, observed the battle situation, and commanded left and right.
After Hu Zhen received Liu Fan's order, he organized 3,000 archers from the army. One hundred and fifty steps close to the city wall, the column is a hundred zhang long, throwing the city tower and the long closing wall.
Longguan is not a dangerous fortress, only the city wall built is nearly a mile, and it is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers outside the pass.
