Chapter 63: Breaking Guan Yu
"Hey~"
Seeing Guan Yu's ballista getting closer and closer, Pang De couldn't help but sneer, signaled the soldiers to continue shooting, and waved his hand at the same time, after the shield array, dozens of soldiers suddenly carried dozens of tripods out and placed them on the ground, the tripod looked like a large slingshot, one person was high, between the two branches, there was a belt, I don't know what the Ministry of Works was made of, but the elasticity was very amazing, it was pulled apart by a hook, and it was fixed on a long pole protruding under the tripod, and the two soldiers quickly took out the wooden nails and fixed the tripod on the ground, Someone reported a jar from the rear, the mouth of the altar had been soaked, exuding an unpleasant pungent smell, and the warrior stuck the jar in the middle of the belt, and at this moment, Guan Yu's ballista was already a hundred paces away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Put!" Almost at the same time, Guan Yu and Pang De gave the order at the same time.
"Buzz~"
Behind the baffle of the ballista, javelin-like arrows roared out, and at the same time, dozens of jars crossed a parabola in the air and smashed on the ballista, the pungent smell was disgusting, Guan Yu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Keep shooting!" ”
The crossbow arrows in the ballista were shot continuously, and the wooden javelin made the arrow cluster extremely unstable after exceeding the range of thirty paces, but at this moment there was no need to be too precise, just a general direction.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
The wooden arrow shaft hit the shield, although it failed to break the defense, but many shields were wrapped in cowhide, and the wooden shields inside had begun to shatter, and the huge force made many shield hands numb in their arms, while the opponent's ballista was continuously releasing arrows.
It's okay to fall on the shield, at least it can be blocked, but if it falls in the crowd, it can knock people away in an instant, the most terrifying thing is not the power, but the opponent's ballista can continuously release arrows, only a few shots have been shot in just such a short time, and many of the shield players in the front row have been hit and flyed, which makes Pound can't help but be surprised, you know, the best crossbow made by the Ministry of Industry now is only able to shoot five shots in a row, and the accuracy will decrease, so there is no promotion, this ballista can shoot more than a dozen rounds in a row!
"Rocket, shoot!" Pound snorted angrily, taking advantage of the moment when the other party stopped, and shouted.
"Buzz~" Hundreds of rockets that had been prepared for a long time took off into the air, and before the enemy could react, they had already landed on the dozens of ballistas.
"Bang~"
I don't know what the pungent liquid is, but at this moment, it burned with a bang, and it spread extremely fast, just in an instant, dozens of ballista cars were already shrouded in flames, and the thick black rock almost instantly filled the surrounding space.
"Good guys!" Pound raised his sword and shouted: "Attack on both wings, cover the shot with crossbow arrows!" ”
The two crossbowmen rushed out from both wings, and did not rush forward, and after avoiding the ballista that had been wrapped in flames, they fired wildly at the Jingzhou army behind the ballista.
"Bastard!" Seeing this, Guan Yu couldn't help but snort angrily, and ordered the soldiers to start counterattacking with bows and arrows, at this time, the two sides were only a hundred steps together, and the bows and arrows could also reach each other.
"General, withdraw!" Xing Daorong was startled when he saw that Guan Yu wanted to separate the crossbow cart and rush straight to the enemy's army, and hurriedly pulled Guan Yu, the opposite side was not unprepared, not to mention the shield array, not to mention that there were thousands of crossbows facing this side, no matter how powerful Guan Yu was, it would be a dead end to rush out.
"Let go!" Guan Yu said angrily.
"General, if you die in battle, who will protect the lord!?" Xing Daorong did not follow: "The general trend has gone, the general is dying here, for the lord, except for the loss of the general, there is no meaning, and do not leave a useful body, kill the enemy again in the future, and atone for the crime!" ”
Guan Yu held the Qinglong knife in his hand stubbornly, looking at the ballista wrapped in flames, the Jingzhou army had begun to collapse under Pang De's blow, he also knew that the general trend had gone, unless he could rush up and cut down Pang De now, but looking at the thousands of strong crossbows pointing to this side, although Guan Yu was arrogant, he also knew that rushing up at this moment was no different from sending him to death, so he sighed helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "Withdraw the army!" ”
If you wait for those ballistae to burn out, you won't be able to run away if you want to, since Guan Yu has made a decision, he decisively gave up the ballista at the moment, and took the soldiers and horses to kill before the opponent's shooters were encircled.
"Crossbowmen in a team of 100 people, alternately cover and kill!" Seeing this, Pound shouted: "Others, go and put out the fire!" ”
He remembered that Lu Bu came here because he had ideas about the new weapons in the Jingzhou army, although looking at the fire, even if he rescued it, it would not be of much use, but Pang De still wanted to try.
Guan Yu's troops were within the range, but at this moment they were out of the protection of the ballista, and almost became a live target, thousands of crossbowmen in a team of hundreds, chasing from all directions, countless Jingzhou troops were harvested by crossbowmen like mowing grass, Guan Yu listened to the screams that kept coming from all around, his heart was angry, but he couldn't do anything, he could only rely on horsepower, and take Xing Daorong and his own soldiers to take the lead from the battlefield, as for the others, how much they can come back, it depends on the creation.
Outside Yique Pass, Sun Jing took Sun Yi and several personal guards, and watched Guan Yu run away like a sheep in a daze, Sun Yi swallowed his saliva, looked at Sun Jing and said, "Uncle, what was in that jar just now?" ”
It's definitely not fire oil, although the fire oil is also ignited when it meets fire, but it is definitely not so violent, almost the moment it touches the fire, dozens of ballista carts, including the fighters operating in the back, are swallowed up in an instant, and the pungent smell, even if they are a hundred feet apart, they can smell it clearly.
Shaking his head, Sun Jing smiled bitterly: "How do I know, it seems that it is a new thing made by Guanzhong, and these methods in Guanzhong are really endless!" ”
Sun Yi nodded approvingly, from yesterday's Gao Shun against Cao Jun, and now Pang De burned Guan Yu with that inexplicable thing, breaking Sun Yi's perception of war again and again, although he did not see a dragon battle between generals, but this kind of battle formation duel that is different from the past still makes Sun Yi feel an eye-opener.
Thousands of crossbowmen chased for five or six miles before they stopped the pursuit, and the corpses of the Jingzhou army were spread all over the road, and the flames were extinguished with earth on the side side.
"General, what kind of fire is this? How can I watch the fire soar into the sky, and I don't see that this ballista is completely burned! A general kicked the wheel of the ballista and looked at Pound in surprise, although it was burned black, but the overall frame of the ballista was not burned.
"How do I know that the lord got it from the Western Regions, saying that he can be used as a fire oil envoy." Pound shook his head, he didn't understand, and turned his head to the crowd: "Pick a few and bring them back to the lord in whole, destroy the others on the spot, send someone to clean up the battlefield, and burn those corpses for me." ”
"Whoa!" A group of soldiers began to clear the battlefield in high spirits.
On the other side, Guan Yu returned to the Jingzhou military camp with hundreds of remnants, Liu Bei saw Guan Yu come back with an embarrassed face, and then he didn't speak, and knelt down directly in front of Liu Bei, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Yun Chang, why is this so?" ”
"Big brother, the younger brother is incompetent, the tired three armies are damaged, nearly 10,000 Erlang have been defeated, and the dozens of ballistas given to us by the military division have all been burned, and the younger brother has no shame to say goodbye to the eldest brother, but he committed suicide in fear of sin, not the eldest husband's doing, he is to come back to ask for the guilt, please let the eldest brother fall." Guan Yu knelt on the ground and said in a muffled voice.
Liu Bei and the others couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, Guan Yu brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, it was only a long time, and he had already been defeated and returned, and Liu Bei knew very well the ability of his brother, not only strong in martial arts, but also with the courage of ten thousand people, he could take the rank of general among the ten thousand troops, and he was quite proficient in the art of war, especially in these years, he followed Liu Bei to go around, studied the Spring and Autumn Period, and used the ability of soldiers, and was never under any famous general in the world.
"General Xing, what happened?" Seeing that Guan Yu was silent, just pleading guilty with a guilty face, Shi Tao's eyes moved, and he turned his head to look at Xing Daorong, who was also kneeling on the ground, and asked.
"It's no wonder that the general is this matter, originally under the command of the general, he could have broken the formation with a ballista, who knew that the other party suddenly threw a bunch of fire oil from hundreds of steps...... "Xing Daorong Balabala said the previous battle, what was in the jar, Xing Daorong didn't know, but it burned when it caught fire, and it was no different from fire oil.
"It's no wonder that General Guan is in this matter." Cui Zhouping sighed, looked at Liu Bei and said: "Fire oil is a precious strategic material, who would have thought that the other party would use it in large quantities in order to break our army, this method can no longer be used, and General Guan should not take this matter too seriously." ”
"Losing is losing, if it is not punished, where is the military authority?" Guan Yu said in a muffled voice.
"...... you" Liu Bei stretched out his hand and pulled Guan Yu up: "Second brother wants to abandon me?" ”
"Little brother......" Guan Yu wanted to explain bitterly, but was interrupted by Liu Bei.
"You and my brother were righteous in Taoyuan back then, and they once said that they did not seek to live together, but to die together, if the second brother died, as a brother, what face would I have to live alone in the world?" Thinking of all these years of hard work, he finally had a foundation, but now he wants to separate his brothers, Liu Bei couldn't help but shed two lines of tears in his eyes.
"Big brother! Yun Chang knows his mistake, big brother don't want to cry again! "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both characters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, even if they die immediately, they will not frown, they are afraid of Liu Bei's tears.
"My lord, although General Guan is guilty of negligence, he should be beheaded according to military law! However, at the moment of the great enemy, it is a pity that General Guan will be killed with all his ability, so why not cut General Guan's military post and make General Guan guilty and make meritorious service? Cui Zhouping smiled.
"Yun Chang, are you willing?" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, he knew Guan Yu's temperament, if he really didn't punish him, even if no one blamed him, Guan Yu would feel uncomfortable in his heart.
"Leave it to the eldest brother." Guan Yu knelt on the ground again and said in a deep voice.
When Liu Bei and the others heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and reached out to help him up again.
"Yun Chang, how powerful are our army's ballistas?" Liu Bei asked with some expectation.
"Just as the military advisor said, if you can advance within eighty steps, it will be extremely powerful, but our army only advanced it within a hundred steps at that time, although it caused some damage to the enemy, but ......" shook his head, Guan Yu smiled bitterly: "I can't even break through the opponent's shield array." ”
"This ......" Liu Bei and the others couldn't help but feel a little gloomy when they heard this, in this way, it was not as good as Cao Cao's bed crossbow, and for a while, there was silence in the big tent. (To be continued.) )
