Chapter 361: Flying Stones Hit the City
To the west of the camp of the Zhao army, across the water is the city of Luxian City, in the city of Xubu Chiyi led 20,000 and the main force of the Xia army of the state, in addition to the garrison of Taiyuan and other important places, and the army of the state, almost all of them are in this city.
"Let's talk about the war here! It took time and effort to finally join the party, but it was blocked by Zhangshui and Luxian. The Xia army is guarding according to the water, and its river is difficult to cross! "Raise the account of the army, there is something in the rear, on the front line, Yuan Shao is a little unstable and anxious.
"After two months of fighting, the Xia army retreated in the first month, trying to delay our army. In the following month, at the expense of casualties, he defended the cottage, and then took the initiative to retreat to this Lu County. Now it seems that he wants to wait for the end of this party autumn busy! "In the past few days, the soldiers who went deep into the party will report the situation and analyze it a little.
"Subu Chiyi, Min Chun!" Yuan Shao said coldly: "These two people have blocked my army too much!" ”
"Zhao Gong, it is not difficult to cross the river, Zhangshui soup soup, and it is far and long. The Xia army was based on Lu County, and our army only needed to send another partial army to choose a suitable place to cross. The crowd of the Xia army, gathered on the opposite bank, is giving our army a chance to attack the rear by the division. The enemy army is here, Huguan and the eldest son must be empty, if they can be taken down, then they will seize the party and march into Taiyuan, when it is done in one go. At that time, the enemy army will fall if the state is merged, and Hu Xiazhen and Liu Yuan will be chaotic. ”
"Who wants to lead the army?" Yuan Shao immediately asked.
This question, there are many people who ask for their lives, but Wen Chou overwhelms Jiang Qi and other generals to win the opportunity to fight.
"Jiang Yiqu!"
"The last general!"
"You lead the army to clear my march on the road, the rest of the Xia army, and ensure that my grain road is worry-free!" Yuan Shao ordered lightly.
"No!"
looked at Xin Ping again: "Zhongzhi, the army's grain and grass are dispatched hard, and the food and drink of tens of thousands of soldiers are all over you!" ”
In the east of Luxian County, Xu Bu Chiyi twisted his neck and made a few crisp sounds. Looking at Zhao Ying in the distance, he seemed to be able to see something that ordinary people couldn't see, and his brows were tightened, and Zhao Jun put a lot of pressure on him.
"In the past two days, Zhao Jun still hasn't moved at all?" Rubbing his tense eyes, Su Bu Chiyi asked.
"Back to the general, the last general has been staring, and there is no sign of moving troops? It's time to be tired of attacking, and you want to repair for a while! Moreover, our army has the danger of Zhangshui, and the Zhao army does not dare to force it to cross! Cao Xing replied respectfully.
The brows tightened a lot, and after thinking about it for a long time, it seemed that there was something to gain.
"It's time to withdraw!"
"What did the general say?" Cao Xuan didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked Nene.
"Lu County can't stay long! Gather the whole army and retreat to Huguan! Xu Bu Chiyi said solemnly: "Cao Xing, you lead 3,000 people, quickly return to Huguan with light equipment, and help Min Fujun garrison the county seat!" ”
Feeling the seriousness in Xu Bu Chiyi's tone, Cao Xuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed.
"The order is incorruptible, and he is ordered to lead two thousand soldiers to block the Zhao army in Lu County for one day, and be the queen of the army!"
That is, Xu Bu Chiyi's subconscious reaction was fast enough, and Wen Chou quietly led the army to cross Zhangshui in the south and hit Huguan directly. At that time, the Huguan garrison, which was less than a thousand people, was caught off guard in the face of Wen Chou's sudden attack and almost lost. is still too guarded by Min Chun, young and strong in Dafa City, blocked the Zhao army with his life, and insisted until Cao Xing's army came back to help.
Later, Xu Bu Chiyi led the army back to the city, and Yuan Shao led 50,000 troops to enter the siege of Huguan. Yuan Shaova Xia, in the party, finally ushered in a big breakthrough.
......
In September, the autumn high wind roared, and the Xia Wei soldiers also lasted more than two months, and outside the pass, 20,000 Wei soldiers set up a formation, facing the city pass. Two hundred steps away, nearly 200 thunderbolts were neatly arranged. More than 2,000 Wei army warriors were busy manipulating these siege weapons.
The rocks pierced through the air, and the sound was like a thunderbolt, and all kinds of boulders that had been simply polished struck at the Hangu Castle Pass at a terrifying speed.
"Put! Put! Put! The neat casting order continued to sound in the Wei army's thunderbolt array, and the Wei army officers roared and shouted.
On the women's wall, rows of thick wooden shields were erected as barriers, and the Xia soldiers silently hid behind them, facing the "indiscriminate bombardment" of the Wei army. The officers up and down, hooked their waists on the city wall, and the soldiers were in the middle of the soldiers, constantly encouraging the soldiers and stabilizing the morale of the army.
It seems that the Xia army defending the city is already familiar with this situation.
At the beginning, because of the chaos in Guanzhong, the Wei army pressed Hangu in front. Cao Cao surprisingly used a thunderbolt to attack the city, and really caught Liu Yuan off guard, and hundreds of flying stones smashed into the city, not noticing for a while, and the Xia army was frustrated.
The power of throwing stones should not be underestimated, although not all stones can go to the city, but those who go to the city can give casualties to the Xia army. Plasma splashes, broken tendons and fractures, very visually impactful.
Attacking the city with thunderbolts, the actual casualties of the Xia army were not too large, and the serious thing was a significant weakening of the morale of the army. In front of the sudden flying stones, the soldiers of the Xia army were directly stunned, and the Wei army, under the leadership of Le Jin, Xu Chu and other generals, took advantage of the situation to launch an attack and attacked the city in a short time.
The impregnable Hangu was almost broken by the Wei army when Liu Yuan was in charge himself. But whether it can succeed depends on luck. After all, the garrisoned Xia army was the most elite army of the Xia State, and under the command of the upper and lower generals, they still worked together to drive the Wei soldiers who rushed to the city off the city.
Seeing that this long-range strike was effective, Cao Cao ordered Liu Ye to continue to supervise the construction of thunderbolts, while continuing to throw flying stones into the city. Liu Yuan, who reacted, naturally would not let the enemy's sharp weapons run rampant, and lined up the city with thick wooden shields to defend himself.
Looking for an opportunity, he highlighted the light cavalry and attacked the enemy's thunderbolt formation, which caused a lot of damage. Both sides resorted to their own tactics, and the situation quickly stalemate. Soon the situation of Hangu Xia Wei's attack and defense became, the Wei army continued to smash the city with thunderbolts, and the Xia army used a strong defense to hard top.
Around Hangu, the Wei army opened up several quarries and requisitioned thousands of people to extract flying stones. However, in more than a month, the Wei army almost launched tens of thousands of solid stones and almost emptied a mountain.
The service life of the Thunderbolt car is limited, and the quality of each car can be issued forty or fifty times, and the inferior can be scrapped less than twenty times. In order to maintain a steady stream of attacks and continue to put pressure on the Xia army, the Wei army consumed a huge amount of timber labor just to build cars.
From time to time, he found an opportunity to storm the city pass, although it was blocked by the Xia army. The result of the rest of the month is that Hangu, which can be called the first male pass in the world, is almost smashed. There were some cracks in various parts of the city wall, which made the Xia army need to constantly consolidate while defending.
Since the civil unrest in Guanzhong subsided, Liu Yuan was in Hangu, and his mood also stabilized. More patiently dealing with Cao Cao, he was not in a hurry, but at this moment, in the face of the endless Wei army throwing stones, he couldn't help but burst into foul language.
"This Cao Mengde, he is crazy, do you really want to collapse Hangu before stopping?" Standing on the city tower, looking at the situation outside, Liu Yuan shouted.
Hiding behind the giant wooden hardboard, surrounded by the guards and soldiers, all of them were thick armor and solid shields to protect Liu Yuan, always ready to defend Liu Yuan against the "accidental" flying stones.
"Your Majesty!" City general Hao Zhao bowed his waist, and persuaded with a nervous face: "The city is too dangerous, please go down to the city." The city defense will be handed over to us and others, and the Wei army will not be allowed to succeed! ”
glanced at Hao Zhao, a young general who was personally promoted to the end of the world and trained to the present day, and smiled faintly: "I will go down now." Don't be too nervous! ”
Liu Yuan knew that he was a little chaotic in this city, and the soldiers had to pay attention to his safety in addition to the imperial city.
