Chapter 230: Jia Xu plotted his life
"Steady! Steady! Steady! Bow and arrow counterattack, no retreat! ”
Gao Shun and other generals shouted heartbreakingly at the head of the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It was the first time for everyone to fight an offensive and defensive battle with the Xiliang cavalry, and they never thought that in addition to the ferocity of the Xiliang army, the means of siege warfare were like thunder, and the dense rain of arrows killed the defenders in the city and couldn't raise their heads.
The Xiliang army cleared the trap, the infantry retreated, the cavalry was like a torrent hanging down, the momentum was violent, and it was about to hit the city wall, suddenly left and right, riding on a horse and running around the city, loosening the reins with both hands, pulling the bow and arrows, turning around and shooting waves of arrows towards the city, and the urgent and dense black clouds pressed on the city.
"Fight back! Raise your shield! ”
"Boom!"
"Ah......h
"Uh......"
The defenders of the city bent their bows at the same time, and a dense barrage of arrows shot straight out of the city. With the help of the inertia of the war horse, the Xiliang army has a slightly farther range than the defenders, and the enemy cavalry is scattered, and it is moving rapidly, and the hits are very small, and the bows and arrows of ordinary soldiers are ordinary hardwood bows, which are not very powerful, they can only shoot through inferior armor, and the shot is not fatal, but can only cause damage to the enemy cavalry and reduce the action of the enemy cavalry.
The horn bow of the Xiliang cavalry is far less powerful than the javelin, and the hard bow of the defenders is the same, but the thousands of troops outside the city attacked the city and took the lead in the first place. When the defenders saw that bows and arrows were coming, they all ran away from them, and the generals of the city ran back and forth among the soldiers, directing the soldiers to raise arrows to fight back, and to stop the timid and backward defenders. The sound of rumbling horses' hooves became more urgent, and the Xiliang soldiers in the rear formation struck each other with their swords, and the killing aura boiled.
The Xiliang army is mainly based on cavalry warfare, and the huge area of Xiliang is scarce, and it is affected by foreign Yi, and there are few battles to defend the city. And the javelin and horn bow with great lethality are the main weapons of the Xiliang cavalry, and they are also the reliance of their sweep across the world. Bows and arrows can not only be used to suppress enemy firepower in cavalry battles, but also to break the enemy's weapons in field battles, which can't kill you, but if you are shot, your body will be injured, affecting the riding of the war horse, and finally fall off the horse and let the cavalry behind you trample to death.
"Shift!" Han Sui's henchman Cheng Gongying saw that the city shot arrows again, and led the cavalry to drift away beautifully. The Xiliang army spent all the years on horseback, accompanied by horses since childhood, and was superb in equestrian skills, avoiding it with an S-shaped route and rolling up bursts of snowflakes.
"Projectile!" Cheng Gongying gave an order, and the cavalry smashed arrows at the head of the city, and the defenders were so suppressed that they couldn't raise their heads. The cavalry in the back followed the pace of the cavalry in front, and the arrows continued to pour down into the city. The Xiliang cavalry covered each other, attacked in a loop, and kept the arrows non-stop. They don't have stirrups or saddles, and they can do this level of riding and shooting, and no one in the world can stop them. Lu Bu's archery battalion has a better ability to run and shoot than the Xiliang cavalry, but Lu Bu's war horses are lacking, and the main force to break the enemy is not cavalry, and in the end he still needs the infantry in his hands.
Zhang Liao smashed his fist on the city, and while pushing away the arrows, he said to Lu Bu with hatred: "The Xiliang cavalry is famous all over the world, and it really deserves its reputation. ”
Lu Bu looked at the rows of strafing enemy cavalry and said: "My Hezhou cavalry is vulnerable in front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, now I understand why I killed Ding Yuan and voted for Dong Zhuo, right?" Ding Yuan is not dead, and it is difficult for the soldiers of the state to survive, for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, a certain has to do it. ”
When Zhang Liao heard Lu Bu's words, his relatives were silent. At this time, it was not Ding Yuan's time, Lu Bu was just making an excuse for killing Dong Zhuo back then. Seeing the rain of arrows surging under the city, the city was in vain, and there was almost no power to fight back, Lu Bu clenched his fists, did the Xiliang army first suppress the firepower in the city and reduce the morale of the defenders, and then climb the city to fight?
Escorted by a group of soldiers, Xu Shu climbed the city tower with a shield on his head, and shouted anxiously at Lu Bu: "It's not a way for the lord to go on like this, and the next thing is for the enemy to attack the city." Come up with a way to break the enemy as soon as possible. ”
"Go and ask Jia Wenhe, he knows the Xiliang Army well, and he should have a strategy to break the enemy." Lu Bu said to Xu Shu, he can't pin all his hopes on Gao Shun, Gao Shun can indeed fight to the death with harsh military methods, once the enemy army climbs the city wall, this is a huge psychological pressure on the defenders, many times the troops can hold the city, and the collapse of the whole line is because of psychological pressure.
At this time, Jia Xu was sitting high in the city with a wine bag, drinking and roasting the fire at the same time, without any pressure, so uncomfortable. And Wu Xi, Pei Mao and other generals who had not yet made it to the city wall were surrounding Jia Xu, anxiously asking: "Does Mr. think he can hold Chen Cang?" ”
Jia Xu smiled dumbly: "It's not over yet, how do I know." ”
Wu Xi paced back and forth on the side, bowed down and whispered in Jia Xu's ear: "It's better to surrender Kaicheng!" ”
Pei Mao listened to Wu Xi's words, nodded, and agreed: "The defenders of the city have been suppressed to the point of retreating from the city wall, Chen Cang will be broken sooner or later, and it will be difficult for us to protect it." Surrender at this time is the best policy. ”
Jia Xu looked at the two people dangling in front of him with disdain: "It's not enough to make a move." ”
Wu Xi saw that Jia Xu was still motionless and even more impatient, so he almost dragged Jia Xu out of the city. Jia Xu sneered: "I am loyal to the auxiliary generals, if you want to surrender, you surrender, don't pull me, I don't want to back you." ”
"What do you mean, sir?" The anxious two asked at the same time.
Jia Xu was silent. Wu Xi and Pei Mao kept dangling in front of Jia Xu, which made Jia Xu irritable, and shouted angrily: "Are you using your head to eat?" I don't want to think about it, if the Xiliang army wins, will we be killed? ”
Jia Xu, Wu Xi, and Pei Mao are inextricably linked to Xiliangjun, and the two were reminded by Jia Xu and woke up. Even if the Xiliang army is victorious, they will not be able to reuse it at most, but they will not worry about their lives. Jia Xu continued: "If I wait for the surrender, the general of the auxiliary country will not let my country wait, it is still unknown whether I can get out of the city alive, stay in peace." ”
"Mr. Xie mention!" The two looked at Jia Xu in admiration. Lu Bu's treatment of the enemy made the two of them shiver down their spines, as long as they didn't do anything in the city, no matter if they won over there, their net worth and lives would be guaranteed.
Xu Shu pushed open the curtain and saw that the three old gods were sitting in the lobby, warming themselves around the stove, so uncomfortable. Xu Shu said angrily: "The three of you are really interested. Outside shouting to kill the sky, the line of survival, the three of them are still interested in drinking and having fun. ”
"The military advisor has won the award, and I am a weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, I can't dance with my hands, and I can't face a strong enemy when I go into battle, so I can only wait anxiously at home." Jia Xu's face changed to a worried expression, if it weren't for their previous drinking, Xu Shu would have really believed it.
