Chapter 465: What to do
War, to put it bluntly, is a game of killing or being killed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And in this game, there are no rules, only the end, and death is the end.
From the time of the emergence of the war to the present. The means and methods of warfare are also constantly improving. Therefore, inflicting the greatest losses on the enemy by the most effective means and with the smallest losses is the main direction of the development of the war.
So, there was the advent of weapons. So, there is the emergence of long and short weapons. So, there is the emergence of the form of near and far attacks.
In a war, even if it's just a creep charging with a knife, you know that it's best not to engage in hand-to-hand combat when you can attack with a long-range weapon.
And now, the war that took place under the Huguan is a perfect interpretation of how to effectively use long-range attack weapons.
The most typical representative of long-range attack weapons is the bow and arrow, followed by catapults, and then thermal weapons.
And now, in siege warfare, catapults are ICBMs in the era of cold weapons!
Cao Dejun's catapult attacked sleeplessly for most of the hour. After the battle between the Celestials and the Humans, the Keeper finally decided to switch and destroy the catapult outside the gate.
Therefore, a Dong army that was holding back his breath came out. Wielding a sharp sword. However, just after they had just stepped out of the gate hole and had not had time to run out a few steps, a rain of arrows came!
That's the rain of arrows that belong to Cao Dejun!
As we all know, catapults have more than twice as long range as bows and arrows! However, due to the topography in front of Huguan, Cao Dejun's catapult was not as far as it could be. But it's also to keep the longest distance possible.
And in the open space between the coat catapult and the pot pass, there are Zang Ba's four thousand! These four thousand, three thousand infantry, one thousand cavalry. And after those three thousand infantry, there were two thousand archers!
To the west of Huguan, the space was originally small, and only three or four hundred soldiers were allowed to line up. Moreover, the gap between the catapult and the pot gate does not need to be used in vain. Therefore, after Xu Shu saw Zang Ba's formation, he immediately sent two thousand more archers.
And at this time, the use of archers is manifested. As soon as the Dong soldiers ran out of the closed door hole, they immediately entered the range of Cao Dejun's archers. However, the Dong Jun archers on the wall of Huguan could only sigh with admiration.
How? You are only allowed to defend the city with bows and arrows, and we are not allowed to use bows and arrows to besiege the city?
How wide is the door opening of the kettle gate? A maximum of three wagons are allowed to drive side by side. And how many Dong Army soldiers are going to rush out of the pass? At least 5,000 people.
Moreover, the purpose of Dong Jun rushing out was to destroy and smash those catapults, so they could not defend, but could only attack.
Under the dense arrow formation, even if there is a shield in the way, the gap is still exposed from time to time, and then the sharp arrow is missed, not to mention the Dong army soldiers who have no protection except for a pair of armor.
"Archer, put!"
"Catapult, let's go!"
In the sky, stones and arrows were lost, whistling and screaming; On the ground, screams and exclamations are endless!
As mentioned earlier, Zang Ba's mission is only to defend, not to attack. Therefore, Zang Ba smiled and watched one Dong Jun soldier after another with arrows all over his body, and then fell to the ground!
In the rear, in the catapult formation, in addition to the creaking of the winch and the whining of the stones taking off, Zhang Ren suddenly heard a deafening shout of killing and a terrible scream.
Zhang Ren thought of it, it must be Dong Jun in Guanzhong who is out of the customs!
"Quick, change the stones! With a small one! ”
Large nets that had been made up long ago were placed in the catapults, and stones that were at most the size of a head were placed in the large nets.
Guo Jia's unintentional net pocket tactics have been transmitted, and at this time, the pot can also use the Heavenly Maiden to scatter flowers!
Since there are soldiers rushing out of the Huguan, there must also be soldiers gathering in the Huguan. Wouldn't it be just right to use the trick of the Heavenly Maiden to scatter flowers!
Guo Jia once mentioned when he taught this trick in the battle report, this is simply an indiscriminate attack, the larger stones fly farther, the smaller stones fly closer, and the attack range is unimaginable!
What the situation is, Zhang Ren doesn't know, but Zang Ba in front can see it clearly!
The Dong Jun soldiers who rushed out of the Huguan had been suffering from the merciless blows of the arrows, and now they had added stones!
As a result, those who were lucky enough to escape the arrow loss will still be hit by stones!
Finally, the soldiers of the Dong Army, who had worked hard to avoid the double blow of missing arrows and stones, rushed in front of Zang Ba. But this is not the end, it's just the beginning!
"Spearman, prepare!" Zang Ba, who could already see Dong Jun's expression clearly, shouted loudly!
"Roar!"
With a neat roar, the neat, sturdy shield wall pierced out a row of thatched tips that reflected the light of death!
The final judgment has arrived!
"Kill!" "Roar!" "Buzz!"
Uniform movements, uniform roars, uniform stabs, uniform spraying of blood!
The spear mounted on the shield pierced the chest of the Dong soldiers who rushed to the front without any hindrance. Moreover, the attacks that Dong Jun needs to face are not only from the chest, but also from the calf, and from the head.
Some fierce Dong Army soldiers, although their bodies have been wounded by the enemy, they have not forgotten that they still have killing weapons in their hands. However, even if they used their last strength to make a final attack, it was just a spark on Cao Dejun's shield!
Massacre, this is a massacre! The five thousand Dong Army soldiers who rushed out of Huguan were able to run in front of Cao Dejun's shield array, that is, those who were lucky not to fall on the road of the charge, only about 4,000 people!
However, they soon discovered Cao Dejun's sorrow a few days ago. Because, no matter how many people there are, they can't open the formation, and they can't open the posture, and the final result is that the compatriots crowd each other and become Cao Dejun's military exploits!
The catapult attack continued, and the twenty catapults had been divided into two waves, taking turns attacking. The only difference is that now five catapults in each wave are throwing grenades! Moreover, it's still a grenade! Therefore, the attack that Huguan is suffering now is a cross attack of armor-piercing bullets and grenades.
Cao Dejun's catapult did not stop, and neither did Cao Dejun's soldiers. It's just that now they are not killing the enemy, but cleaning the battlefield.
Just now, the 5,000 Dong troops who rushed out chose to retreat after throwing down more than 2,000 corpses. Their own side had already paid nearly a thousand casualties, but even the shield array of the first layer of Cao De's army had not been broken.
The archers of the Dong Army, who were now above Huguan, were also very majestic and powerful when they shot the attacking Cao Dejun. However, now Cao Dejun is paying tribute to Dong Zhuojun even harder.
Since Dong Jun rushed out of Guanmendong, Cao Dejun's archers have begun to work, even when the two sides are in close contact, and even when Dong Jun retreats to Guanmendong, it still does not stop.
Dong Jun finally went back, but less than 2,000 of the 5,000 people who rushed out returned alive, and they were all injured!
"Alas! What should I do? ”
